Changing File Names w/o Reading Data?

Hi All,
I'm trying to get Labview to change the name of files in a directory,
without having to read the data.
I'll have a variety of data sets (text, binary, PDF files, etc), and
would like to rename them.
Any hints? I tried using the "open/create/replace file.vi" by opening
the file, read the file, close it, create a new file, write it, close
it, but it doesn't work. I've also tried "copy" primitive under the
advanced file functions, but only get new directories created with
files in them. The following is what I got when I used it:
For example, the directory “c:\stuff” , will have files
"file1.aaa, file2.BBB and file3.ccc", if I want to rename
“file1.aaa” into the file named "1file.AAA" by using the
"copy" primitive (in the Advanced File Functions), then I get a folder
called "1file.AAA" with the three files, "file1.aaa, file2.BBB and
file3.ccc", in them.
I can manipulate directories, copy files into new ones, but not rename
files.
Kind regards,
-Dorian

Yes... I figured out what I was doing wrong. Using the "Copy"
primitive, I was including the file name AND path, which was read as a
new folder with the name of the file. If I remove the path, it will
copy the files to the same directory, with the name I wanted.
Thanks!

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:
package com.reducativa.sitio.servlets;

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?
Thanks!

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
Question:
Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.

ADE changes file names

The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?
Thanks

Dimitri,
 As usual, thanks for the simple but informative explanation!

Files arranged by date added, but changing file name changes date added

I've got my Downloads folder set to view (in the Finder) by "date added", a very useful feature. However, if I change a file name, the "date added" changes to that new time, and "date modified" stays the same as it was. This doesn't make sense to me... isn't date added just that, when it was added to the folder? Why would this happen? Any workarounds or suggestions?

You should use the 'File/Directory Info' functionality.
This will return the last modificatoin of the file.

External table fails to view data after changing file name

Hello,
I have previously imported 122 external tables and was able to view their data without any problems.
The names of these files have since changed. The names have a date in them.
So I dropped the external tables from that database and recreated them with the new file names.
I then went into OWB and dropped them from OWB.
I reimported all of the tables without errors.
I go to view the data and get an error that the file does not exists.
The problem is that the file it is telling me does not exists, is the file I had been using last week. Not the new file.
However, when I go and right click the external table and do a configure, the correct name is showing up under datafiles.
It's almost as though when I dropped the external tables, not everything was cleaned up. For whatever reason, OWB is still using the old names.
Dan

Hi there... Wich OWB version are you using?
If you've created this external tables using any other tool (ie: SQLPLUS, SQLDeveloper, Toad, SQLNavigator, etc), are you able to query this objects from one of these tools?
If you've created this ET's using OWB, are you creating it as external tables or are you mapping it as source flat files?
If you are using OWB to create it, there are a few configurations/properties you should change to have them running well.
Please, post some more info.
Thanks

Infopackage routine for changing file name

Hi Everyone,
 I have to load flat files from application server directories. I get these files from different locations and they are saved in own (location) folders by a script). I would like to run these file from infopackage through process chain. the problem is that these files have changing names. The format is like this
Canada_co3300.csv
I can write a routine is my infopackage but "co3300" keeps changing as it represents different companies code in that particular location (Canada).
I have a routine
data: F1 type string value 'D:\usr\sap\FLAT_FILES\Inbound\Cayman\Canada_co3300_',
F2 type string '.csv'.
concatenate f1 f2 into p_filename.
How can I get a variable co---- in my routine so my infopackage can read the file if co has different value like co2000. Thanks In advance.
Regards,
Asad

Hi Saugata,
 My flat file name has a naming convention based on company code in application server folder, so I get files with name
 Canadaco3000.csv or
 Canadaco2000.csv or
 Canadaco4000.csv or something else (co number keeps changing)
So My file name keeps changing all the time. I would like my infopackage to read these files automatically thorugh a routine or logical file name. I have tried both, but donot know how to configure this scenerio thorugh my infopackage. Please give me steps to use that table you mentioned. Thanks .

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian
No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.

How to change application name in system-jazn-data.xml

I have weblogic server installed and applications deployed.
However, I'd like to change the application name in system-jazn-data.xml, specifically, the "<name>context=APPLICATION,name=app1</name>" change "app1" to be "AllMyApp".
Is this possible? ideally, I do not want to re-deploy the application. I'm not sure what files in application(I have both Web and EJB based applications) kept the name to point to above names in system-jazn-data.xml
Thanks

Hi thanks for your quick response.
I mean to say we have deployed one application and that application appears as a web-DynPro application in PCD. Then i copied that application and pasted in the application folder as a page(PCD object). The page in the folder and application in webdynpro application both are having the same name.
Now when i changed the name of the application in webDynPro (By re factoring) and deployed. The name in PCD in webdynPro application get changed but the PCD object in Folder becomes like a warning sign and shows that broken delta link.
Now i want to know can i edit the link of the object so that it can point to the exect application or i have to copy the application and again paste as PCD object in the folder and then assign again to all 20 roles.
Thanks & Regards

Change file name when sending form through email

Hi all,
I created a form that can be downloaded, viewed and completed by the user in Acrobat reader, and then sent by email as a pdf-attachment by pushing a submit-button. As the form will be sent by several different users to the same address, in order to avoid confusion it would be good when the filename would not be the original form name, but someting based on the individal data entered by the user.
Is there a way of between having filled in the form and actually sending it, automatically change the file name? I know users could save the file first and thén send it, but I would like to spare them the hassle.
Thank! Mateo

To do that you woudl have to certify the form which brings into play a whole other series of issues.

Changing file names in the Information Pane

Why doesn't changing the names of photographs in the Information Pane also change the name of the files in the iPhoto Library folder??
If I import photos direct from my camera, the photos are stored with generic file names (like DSC_006) in the Original Folder and the Data folder in iPhoto Library folder. Once stored there, I understand that if you move, delete or "rename" any of those files "in the Finder" that iPhoto may not thereafter be able to see them.
But I don't understand why if you change those file names in the Information Pane from within the iPhoto application, why the actual file names in the Original and Data folder aren't correspondingly changed.
I would prefer to eliminate the generic file names and presently the only way that I can do that is to simply transfer the photos from the memory cards, change the file names and then import the files into iPhoto.
This seems like an unnecessary step.
Am I missing something here?

If you want the capability of editing the original file names they you'll need to upgrade to a more professional application like iView MediaPro. Aperture doesn't let you change the original file names from within the application.
If you need to the use file outside iPhoto with the same name as the Title in iPhoto then you can do just as PhillyPhan pointed out, export to the Desktop using the User Title option.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Changing file names in the Finder

Hi,
Is there a way to change the names of video files in the Finder then relink them in FCPX? I have some files that I imported from my camera. Unfortunately, the camera's date was incorrect. I'd like to change the file names via the Finder to the correct dates, then relink them to the associated projects in Final Cut Pro X. However, this doesn't seem possible: when I relaunch FCPX, the "new" files appear alongside the old files in the event library and there doesn't seem to be a way to relink them.
thanks,
fh

You can't relink files in FCPX. Best way to rename clips is within FCPX itself.
final
Batch rename clips using a naming preset
1. In the Event Browser, select the clips you want to rename.
2. To open the Info inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below), and click the Info button at the top of the pane that appears.
3. Choose Apply Custom Name from the Action pop-up menu and choose a naming preset from the submenu.
The clips selected in the Event Browser are renamed.

Dynamic File Name in a Read File

Hello there.
I have a need and I don't know if there is possible in Oracle BPEL 10.1.3. I need to read a different file, based on the name of it. So, I need that the file name defined in the adapter is defined dynamically in run time, based in the name of a client.
It is possible ?
All the files are located in the same directory, so, I don't have a problem with the location path. Only with the name of the file.
In a read activity I don't have the Inbound Header...it is possible to do this using the OutboundHeader Type ?
Can someone help me ?

What you need to do is a synchronous File read. You will need to create a file adaptor but with the write functionality and then change the produced wsdl file to make it a read activity. You can then use the invoke activity to call the adaptor. Once this is done you can then create the variable as RIko has specified an pass in your file name at run time.
The inboundheader type variable is only populated once you have read the file. So by changing a write adaptor to a read you will have both a inbound and outbound header variables.
See link below for a more detailed description:
http://docs.huihoo.com/oracle/docs/B14099_19/integrate.1012/b25307/adptr_file.htm
See the section on "Synchronous File Reading Capabilities" which details exactly what you need to change.
