Problem description & analysis

The CSV file userlogin.csv records user login information, as shown below:

Ccustomer1lastname,9774ASU,Customer

Ccustomer2lastname,6979ASU,Customer

mman,4234ASU,Manager

The three columns are customer names, passwords and role. We are trying to check whether an input parameter (a username, a password or a role) matches one of the records in the CSV file (case-insensitive). Return true if there are any match and login successfully; return false if there is no matching record and login fails.

Solution

Write the following script p1.dfx in esProc:

Explanation:

Set three cellset parameters:

1. Parameter name: username

2. Parameter name: password

3. Parameter name: role

A1   Read in the CSV file as a sequence of strings.

A2  Define a sequence of the three defined parameters, transform them into strings by comma, and convert it into lowercase.

A3  Get the eligible members (strings matching A2 after conversion into lowercase) from A1’s sequence. If the current member (string) has a match, return true, otherwise return false.
