How to find number of lines in an input file.

Hi,
Can someone tell me, if there is a way to find out the number of lines in an input file. I do not want to read line by line and then count the number of lines read.

Then how do you think a program could determine the amount of lines in an input file? How does a human know how many lines are on a page? You're going to have to count the items that separate two lines to know how many lines are in your file.
Either read line by line and count the amount or read char by char and count the number of '\n' occurences instead.
If you have control over writing the input files, however, you can make this better. Write a header in the file that specifies the amount of lines in it. The first line of your file will then hold a number that represents the amount of lines in the file, so you need only read the first line to know how many lines are in your file.

How to find number of lines in an internal table

Dear all,
how to find number of records present in an internal table.

DESCRIBE TABLE
Syntax
DESCRIBE TABLE itab [KIND knd] [LINES lin] [OCCURS n].
Extras:
1. ... KIND knd
2. ... LINES lin
3. ... OCCURS n
Effect
This statement determines some properties of the internal table itab and assigns them to the specified variables. The various additions enable you to determine the table type, the number of currently filled rows and the initial memory requirement.
In addition, the system fields sy-tfill and sy-tleng are filled with the current number of table rows and the length of a table row in bytes.
Notes
For detailed information about an internal table, you should use the methods of RTTS of the DESCRIBE TABLE statement.
Without the specification of an addition, the statement DESCRIBE TABLE only sets the system fields sy-tfill and sy-tleng.
Addition 1
... KIND knd
Effect
The table type of the internal table itab is determined and a corresponding one-digit identification is assigned to the data object knd. A character-type data type is expected for the data object. The identifications are "T" for standard tables, "S" for sorted tables and "H" for hashed tables. These values are also defined as constants sydes_kind-standard, sydes_kind-sorted, and sydes_kind-hashed in the type group SYDES.
Addition 2
... LINES lin
Effect
The current number of table rows of the internal table itab is determined and is assigned to the data object lin.The data type i is expected for the data object.
Note
As of release 6.10, the current number of rows of an internal table can also be determined using the in-built function lines.
Addition 3
... OCCURS n
Effect
The initial memory requirement defined during the creation of the internal table with the addition INITIAL SIZE or the obsolete addition OCCURS is determined and assigned to the data object n. The data type i is expected for the data object.
Example
Descending sorting of a generically typed internal table in a subprogram. Since sorted tables cannot be sorted in a descending order, the table type is checked to avoid an exception that cannot be handled.
TYPE-POOLS sydes.
FORM sort_descending CHANGING itab TYPE ANY TABLE.
DATA tabkind(1) TYPE c.
DESCRIBE TABLE itab KIND tabkind.
IF tabkind = sydes_kind-standard OR
     tabkind = sydes_kind-hashed.
    SORT itab DESCENDING.
ELSEIF tabkind = sydes_kind-sorted.
    MESSAGE '...' TYPE 'E'.
ELSE.
    MESSAGE '...' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
DESCRIBE FIELD INTO
Note
This statement is for internal use only.
It cannot be used in application programs.
Syntax
DESCRIBE FIELD dobj INTO td.
Effect
All characteristics of the field f, its components , sub-components etc. are displayed in the field td (type description). td has to be of the type SYDES_DESC, defined in Type Group SYDES. Because of this, the type group SYDES must be integrated into the ABAP-program with a TYPE-POOLS statement .
The structure SYDES_DESC has two table-type components TYPES and NAMES:
In TYPES, the tree structure of the type belonging to f is displayed. The components of a node are stored in the table TYPES in a continuous manner. Beginning and end of the line area that represents the components are stored in TYPES-FROM and TYPES-TO. The reference to the superior node can be found in TYPES-BACK. If no superior resp. subordinate node exists, then this is marked by the value 0 (For the relevance of further components, refer to the following sections).
The names of components, types etc. are not stored directly in TYPES. Instead, the components TYPES-IDX_... hold an index in the name table NAMES. The value 0 indicates that there is no reference to the name table.
NAMES contains the possibly fragmented names in the component NAMES-NAME. If a name continues in the following line, this is indicated by an asterisk ('*') in the component NAMES-CONTINUE.
The type description table (TYPES) not only stores information about the tree structure but also further information about the type of f resp. its components. This includes especially all information that can be determined using the usual additions to DESCRIBE FIELD. In detail, TYPES contains the following columns:
IDX_NAME
Component Name
IDX_USER_TYPE
Name of a user-defined type, i.e., a type that was defined through its TYPES-statement. Derived types (... TYPE A-B) and structures from the ABAP-Dictionary are not considered to be user-defined types.
CONTEXT
For user-defined types only: The context, in which the type is defined. Possible values are defined in the constant SYDES_CONTEXT of the type group SYDES. Please only use these constants to carry out a comparison. In detail, we distinguish between the following type contexts:
SYDES_CONTEXT-PROGRAM: Program-global type
SYDES_CONTEXT-FORM   : FORM-local type
SYDES_CONTEXT-FUNCTION: FUNCTION-local type
SYDES_CONTEXT-METHOD : METHOD-local type
IDX_CONTEXT_NAME
For user-defined types only:
With a local context: The name of the FORM or FUNCTION, whose type was defined. The name of the associated program is then the first entry in the name table.
With a global context: The name of the program in which the type was defined.
IDX_EDIT_MASK
Conversion routine from the ABAP-Dictionary, is in accordance with the addition EDIT MASK at simple DESCRIBE.
IDX_HELP_ID
Help-Id when referencing to fields from the ABAP-Dictionary
LENGTH
Internal length, corresponds to the addition LENGTH at simple DESCRIBE
OUTPUT_LENGTH
Output length, corresponds to the addition OUTPUT-LENGTH at simple DESCRIBE
DECIMALS
Number of decimal digits, corresponds to the addition DECIMALS at simple DESCRIBE
TYPE
ABAP-Type, corresponds to the addition TYPE at simple DESCRIBE
TABLE_KIND
A table type is stored here for the components which represent an internal table. The same values are returned as with the variant DESCRIBE TABLE itab KIND k. Components which do not represent a table get the return value set to SYDES_KIND-UNDEFINED (see type group SYDES).
Example
Example definition of the complex data type EMPLOYEE_STRUC:
PROGRAM DESCTEST.
TYPES: BEGIN OF name_struc,
         first TYPE c LENGTH 20,
         last   TYPE c LENGTH 20,
       END OF name_struc,
       BEGIN OF absence_time_struc,
         day        TYPE d,
         from       TYPE t,
         to         TYPE t,
       END OF absence_time_struc,
       phone_number TYPE n LENGTH 20,
       BEGIN OF employee_struc,
         id         LIKE sbook-customid,
         name       TYPE name_struc,
         BEGIN OF address,
           street TYPE c LENGTH 30,
           zipcode TYPE n LENGTH 4,
           place   TYPE c LENGTH 30,
         END OF address,
         salary_per_month TYPE p LENGTH 10 DECIMALS 3,
         absent           TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF absence_time_struc
                               WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,
         phone            TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF phone_number
                               WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,
       END OF employee_struc.
You can determine the structure of the type EMPLOYEE_STRUC by collecting the type group SYDES as follows:
TYPE-POOLS: sydes.
DATA: employee TYPE employee_struc,
      td       TYPE sydes_desc.
DESCRIBE FIELD employee INTO td.
The following table shows a few selected columns of the type description table TD-TYPES. For a better overview, the names of the columns IDX_NAME, IDX_UERR_TYPE and IDX_EDIT_MASK have been shortened:
    |FROM| TO |BACK|NAME|UTYP|EMSK|TYPE

17 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | N
Please note that the entries in rows 6 and 7 represent internal tables (ABAP-Type h). There is always an entry for the corresponding row type (rows 13 and 17) to an internal table.
The indices in the rows 5 to 7 refer to entries in the name table TD-NAMES. If you look, e.g., at row 3, you find the corresponding component name in TD-NAMES from row 7 (NAME) onward and the corresponding user type from row 5 (NAME_STRUC) onward.
In the name table TD-NAMES you find the following entries. Note that the names SALARY_PER_MONTH and ABSENCE_TIME_STRUC are stored in two parts:
    |CONTINUE|NAME                   |CONTINUE|NAME

How to find number of lines in the text content?

Hello All,
I have a multi line text item. I want to know the number of lines in a text item? How can I do that?
Note that every lines end with the shift+enter.
Example,
This is a
sample.
After line This is a there is (Shift + Enter).
Thanks for any help.

Whenever the user inputs Shift-Enter, Photoshop inserts an [EOT] (End Of Text) control character (\x03 or \u0003) in the string.
Also, in order to split the text according to multiple separators in only one call, it is necessary to use a regular expression instead of a string.
Try replacing:
var theArray = theText.split("\r");
with:
var theArray = theText.split(/[\u0003\r]/);
BTW, you can improve performance by explicitely requesting the textKey property of the current layer object.
Try using:
   ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr"), stringIDToTypeID("textKey") );
   ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
instead of:
   ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

How to find groups in domain based on input file of groups

Hi,
I want to find if groups exist in the domain based on a list of groups in a text file as follows. My Get-AdGroup doesn't work, so Im looking for suggestions.
$MyGroups = Get-Content -path c:\MyGroups.txt
Foreach ($Group in $MyGroups)
Get-Adgroup -filter 'Name -like "$Group"' -SearchBase "DC=MyDomain,DC=Com" -SearchScope SubTree
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

One additional suggestion - you need wildcards too, if you really want to use -like:
Get-ADGroup -Filter "Name -like '*$group*'"

How to find on which line - eth0 or eth1 packets are received

hi,
i've two lines - eth0 and eth1 on my board and using tcp sockets. I've used INADDR_ANY in bind(). I get packets on
both eth0 and eth1. How to find to which line(eth0 or eth1) a packet received belongs to ?
Thanks & Regards,
liuxgate

Normal TCP/IP Sockets in Java (ie java.net.Socket) do not offer any exposure to packets and how/when they are received. But why do you care?
Check that. There is a DatagramPacket class, which means you must be able to send around "packets" in some way. I've never seen or used this before, so I can't say. But maybe someone else will know.

SQL>I couldn't quite figure out the "9" and the "99" data that was on those lines so I assume it should just be ignored. I also formatted the report data to fixed columns width in my external text file as I'd assume that's how the data would be generated, not that that would make much difference when extracting the values with regular expressions as I've done.
So... something like that anyway. ;)

Count the number of lines in a txt file

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file, but I can't do it using readLine(). This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns null even if it is not the end of the file. thanks for the help

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file,
but I can't do it using readLine(). Then just compare each single byte or char to the newline (code 10).
This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns
null even if it is not the end of the file.Errm what? What do you mean by "double spaced"? Method readLine() should only return null if there's nothing more to read.

How to skip footer record in SQL*Loader input file

I have am using SQL*Loader in a batch import process.
The input files to SQL*Loader have a header record and footer record - always the 1st and last records in the file.
I need SQL*Loader to ignore these two records in every file when performing the import. I can easily ignore the header by using the SKIP function.
Does anybody know how to ignore the last record (footer) in an input file??
I do not want to physically pre-strip the footer since the business want all data files to have the header and footer records.

Thanks - how do I use the when clause to specify the last line of the input file?
I am presuming it requires me to have a unique identifier at a given position on that last line. If I don't have such an identifier can I still use your solution?
Cheers Why not putting an idetifier at the end of your input file: echo "This_is_the_End" >> input_file ?

Thank you t quinn for your reply as I do really appreciate the help.
I don't quite understand what your suggestion was and before I try to figure it out and play around with numbers, I thought I should clarify further. When i wrote I want to paste the content into the cell and have it limited to 100 characters I was mis-spoken. I actually have all the content already in the columns in a spreadsheet and would now like to just limit some of the columns to hold only 100 characters in a cell so that when its a CSV file it will be accepted to the program I'm trying to upload it to.
SO does that change the way you can answer my question?
Is there a way to just limit the content currently in a spreadsheet to 100 characters per cell?
Kindly
