TechEd_Programmer How to Parse Data
All -
I have created an integration that creates over 2000 records. The reason that it is so high is that I am parsing 2 very large fields on the C# side of the integration. I desperately need to reduce my API calls so the only solution is for me to parse the data in Salesforce. I do not even know where to begin. The data would come in in two very large text fields. Each value in each field has exactly 8 characters after the decimal. I would need to parse and translate these values in pair values that create multiple recors in SFDC.
Can someone point me in the correct direction?

Howdy TechEd,
This is a question of choosing a serialization/deserialization standard. Have you considered XML or JSON? More info here.

Then your next step is to parse the XML-formatted text and pull out the values. Check out the XmlStreamReader Class.

Ok...situation changed. What I need to do is a bit different. I am getting the data fed directly into SFDC using a WSDL that is being consumed by the C# Plug-In. I am receiving a very long string deliminated by a colon into two fields. What I need to do is to parse the data into multiple records in that object into seperate fields.
Any suggestions?
This would also create seperate records for each set of values.
