[Isocene]

I need to find a large csv file for project for class. It needs have at least 5000 bits of data. So 5 coloumns and 1000 rows would be good.

Anyone know where to find a good file off hand.

Im posting here because im getting desperate. Cant find anything good online.

Thanks

i can make one for you
vbscript will knock it right out

what do you want in it? just some words? like pancake, bunny, head, spider, ATOT
repeated 1000 times
something like that? or does the data need to be more unique ?

If you really get stuck, you could convert some of these into a large CSV file.

haha I appreciate the offer FoBT but It needs to be something real I can make a web interface to. Ive actually been looking for a while but I just found one right now that I think will be good.

Donations made to the bush campaign! Its 32000 long! I wonder how long it will take a MySQL query to run through that!

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\file.csv", 2, True)
For I = 1 to 1000
oFile.writeline "pancake,bunny,head,spider,ATOT"
Next
oFile.Close
Wscript.Echo "DinG!"

Hold down the comma key for a minute. A big, empty CSV file.
