(Bash) How to set a variable with text from a file? [SOLVED]

I'm having a little problem.
I have textfile with a single line of text. What I want to do is set a variable with that line of text. How do I go about doing that?
A simple var="text" wont work in this case, since the text in the file changes with another script of mine.
Thanks in advance.

if you have a file with more than one line but you only want the first line you could use 'head'
VAR=`head -n 1 file`

How to Set a Variable with data from Srouce Data Store

Hello ODI Experts,
I have created a Physical & Logical Schema and a Source Data store to pickup data from a database table.
On the other hand, I have a few variable that I will pass in a web service call (ODIInvokeWebService tool).
Would yo please guide how I can set variables from my source data store.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan

Hello Bos/Damodhar/ODI Experts,
Doesn't it gives me a less optimized approach picking one column per query (per variable)?
Lets say, I have to pick 35 columns from a table and put those in 35 variables...It would mean running 35 queries for fetching one record from the database table.
Doesn't it seem less performance effective (less optimized)..a little scary..any thing better that I can do to make it more optimized?
Another question, what if multiple new values have come in the DB table, since I am using Refresh Variable, would this variable have multiple values in it?
Thanks for all your help,
Ahsan

How to set a variable's value from job output

Can anyone point me at documentation on how to set the value of a variable based on the output of a job? We are running TES v6.0.2.153.
The Agent/Adapter is a Linux command line, so the Command could be for example:
echo foo
and I would like a variable named bar to contain the value foo. (Obviously in real life the variable value would be dependent on what the command output)
Thanks in advance,
Martin

One more nugget: to parse the response from a command from a UNIX/Linux agent for a specific string and store that in a variable, I followed Rami's advice and then had to find the string in the output.
The below example puts the first digit of a random number in the variable:
Job Command:
bash -c
Command Parameters:
"'echo' Random number is $RANDOM | perl -ple 's/.*Random number is (\d{1}).*/\1/'"
Note that your command itself (in this case "echo") cannot be put in the Command box, otherwise TES does not interpret the Command Parameters correctly. So you need to set the Command to "bash -c" (run the command in the parameter string), and enter your command and parameters within double quotes in the Command Parameters, with the command being run (in this case "echo") in single quotes at the beginning.
(I also had to make my .bash_profile run without any output to avoid it being prefixed to the variable value.)
Hope this helps,
Martin.

How to set enviroment variables for Inso Filter

Hi everyone,
I want to convert word documents to html using CTX_DOC.Filter.According to the documentation,I know I neednot set the 'Inso Filter'in the preference when creating index,but I must set enviroment variables for Inso Filter.
I found the following instructions for it in the 8.1.5 documentation,but I can't understand it well.Is there anyone can tell me how to set enviroments variables for Inso Filter on Windows2000 Server?(My DB version is 8.1.7EE)
Environment Variable Locations
All environment variables related to Inso filtering must made visible to interMedia Text. Set these variables in the following locations:
listener.ora file. This makes the environment variables visible to the extproc PL/SQL process.
The operating system shell from where ctxsrv server is started. This makes the environment variables visible to the ctxsrv process, which does background DML.
Any suggestions are apreciated

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

How to set a variable value on the BPC Data Manager

Hello BPC Experts,
I'm creating a BPC10 NW version demo environment for our prospect customer.
I made a data manager to import BW data into BPC model from BW cube.
I need to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data.
When I run the data package manually, I can select a member of the time dimension prompt and I can import specific month data I want.
But, in a case where the program (data manager) runs by JOB monthly,
I can't select a member of the time dimension prompt manually.
So I want to know how to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt from a system date etc. automatically.
Are there any way to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt on the data manager automatically from a system date?
Or, do you have any other solution to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data by the data manager running on JOB ?
(without selecting a member of the time dimension prompt of the data package manually)
Thanks in advance,
Keisuke

Hi Gersh
Sorry for my late reply and thanks for your helpful information.
I tried the second way of your information and I could configure it.
And I 'll try first way of your information.
