Hi,

I've got a text file that has dates as parameters for a data pull that I would like to add to the actual data that was pulled after it has been manipulated to have only the items we are interested in.

In this case, start and end dates for the ranges. I want to add those to two columns in the data that is being updated/appended to in an EGDB.

I thought maybe global variables, but they can be SO finicky. Is there another way to attach these dates to each row in the table as it is being updated/appended?

Thanks,

Lorinda

Actually, I figured it out. I added an additional column to the text extraction and gave it a value. Added same column to the data and gave the same value. Then did a feature merger and merged all attributes. Seems to be doing the job.
