Need help dealing with custom CSV import with related objects

Hi everyone,

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.  I am currently trying to do a custom CSV import in order to automate the process of importing a CSV every day.  I have a VisualForce page that accepts the filename of the CSV file and calls my apex class to do the upload. (both are below) The CSV parser is working fine, after testing.  The problem I am having is with grabbing the related object ids for the import.  The error I am getting is "System.ListException: List index out of bounds: 17

Error is in expression '{!ReadFile}' in page fotaupload Class.FOTAuploader.ReadFile: line 116, column 1"

 

I think my problem is around the section with the comment "//create a list of the related zip code ids"

 

About my objects:

I have a zip code object that is a related list to my Activations object.

Pancho,

 

A couple of observations:

 

Your indexes for your loops should start from 0 rather than 1.

I'm surprised that the where expression is working as-is for you - where name =:zips. I would have used "where name IN :zips"

 

Make those index changes and see if you still get an out of bounds exception. You may also want to put some Debug statements to see what zips are coming back

 

for (Integer i=0;i<parsedCSV.size();i++)

        {

        zips.addparsedCSV[i][6].replaceAll('\"',''));

        }

        List<Zip_Code_Master__c> zipList= [select id from Zip_Code_Master__c where name = :zips];

       

       System.debug('zipList size = ' + zipList.size());

       

        for (Integer i=0;i<parsedCSV.size();i++)

        {

Pancho,

 

It looks like you're trying to assign to a list item without actually creating that item first:

 

 

        zips[i] = parsedCSV[i][6].replaceAll('\"','');

instead, try

       zips.add(parsedCSV[i][6].replaceAll('\"',''));

Thanks Ram,

You are right.

I made that change and I am still getting:

 

System.ListException: List index out of bounds: 17

Error is in expression '{!ReadFile}' in page fotaupload

Class.FOTAuploader.ReadFile: line 122, column 1     

 

 

ForcepowerForcepower

Pancho,

 

Can you post your line 122?

PanchoPancho

 

Line 122 is:

 

a.Zip_Code_of_Activation__c = zipList[i].id;

 

 

I also tried:

if (zipList[i]!=null) {
a.Zip_Code_of_Activation__c = zipList[i].id;
}

 

but still get the same error.

ForcepowerForcepower
ok - it looks like you have some 16 or so zip codes in your table matching [select id from Zip_Code_Master__c where name =:zips];
I don't know too much about your matching process for the CSV to zipcode. Is there supposed to Zip code matching yp with your CSV file line?
PanchoPancho

Yes

My test csv file has 17 lines in it.

On of the fields, the 6th column has a text zip code.

Instead of just importing the zip code, I have a related object called Zip Code, so I am wanting to do a lookup of the id of the zip code and store the id into a.Zip_Code_of_Activation__c.

Ram,

You are awesome!  Thank you so much for your help.

 

That fixed the problem.  I think I had it set to i=1 to bypass the header(the first line of the CSV file).

The index out of bounds error is gone!

 

There is just one more thing, if you dont mind helping me figure out.

 

It shows that I am getting the lookup to work, but the two arrays I have are not in synch.

I have the parsedCSV array that correctly imports the CSV file with rows and columns (parsedCSV[row][column])

I also have the zipList array that is storing the IDs to the zipcodes.

 

But they are not lining up. I hope that makes sense.  The zipcodes are in a random order it appears.  I have the right ones but wrong order.

 

 

 

ForcepowerForcepower

Pancho,

 

Got it. Yes - the order of the zips is not guaranteed since you're not ordering it. I'd suggest loading the fetched zips to a Map<String, Id> zipMap with the key being the zip code and the value being the id. In your loop parsing the CSV, just do a

 

List<Zip_Code_Master__c> zipList= [select id, name from Zip_Code_Master__c where name =:zips];

Map<String, Id> zipMap = new Map<String, Id>();

for (Zip_Code_Master__c zip : zipList) {

    zipMap.put(zip.name, id);

}

    

 

a.Zip_Code_of_Activation__c = zipMap.get(parsedCSV[i][6].replaceAll('\"','');

 

Best,

Ram

Ram,

That worked!

Thank you so much amigo!

God bless you my friend.
