Hi ,
you can use this type of tag on VF page
<apex:inputFile value="{!contentFile}" filename="{!nameFile}" />
contentFile will be property of blob type.
you can parse by contentFile.tostring() . It will give you whole string of CSV/excel file.
then use split method of Apex string object .
I am new to this i will be very thank full to you if you send me sample code or example of this type., please don't mind i am asking all this .
Thank you
HI
Create a VF Page with a controller
on vf page use Apex tag like below
<apex:inputFile value="{!contentFile}" filename="{!nameFile}" />
Create a command button on VF Page . it will call your Contoller's Function
like : <apex:commandButton value="Upload File" action="{!parseContentType}"/>
On controller Create a Property like
contentFile will be property of blob type.
Public blob contentFile{get;set;}
public pageReference parseContentType(){
String contents = contentFile.toString();
/*
Here you can write the code to Split the String and get Your records
After parsing create new Object and assign the value to object and insert
*/
}
