How to store the contents of a file

Hi,
I'm using forms6i and database 10g.
Through forms if a user selects a filename , and clicks a button or something,
the contents of the file should be saved in the database.
The file can be of any type, like .doc,.pdf,.xml,.html etc...
and the contents filed will be of type varchar
Please help me do this..
Thanks

Do you really want to save the "Content" of a file or the file itself? If you try to save the contents of a .doc or .pdf in a column with a VARCHAR2 datatype, you are going to corrupt the contents of the file since these file types have binary data in them as well as text. I think you would have greater success storing the actual file in a BLOB column.
Here are a few Oracle Support documents that discuss how to store and retrieve files stored as BLOBs in the database.
Doc ID: 168277.1 - How to Upload Binary Documents Back to Database BLOB Column from Forms
Doc ID: 330146.1 - How to write BLOBs Stored Inside the Database Out to Files.
Hope this helps,

Workbook w=Workbook.getWorkbook(f);
Sheet sh=w.getSheet(0);
int cols=sh.getColumns();
int rows=sh.getRows();
Cell c=null;
String s1=null;
String s2=null;

How to store the contents of a text file directly in to a clob field

Hi All,
Could anyone help me to store the contents of a text file (*.txt,*.xml etc)directly in to a clob field.
Thanks in advance
Jayaram.

One way is to use sqlloader. Three files are used. A control file, an xml data file, and a file with the path of the xml data file. Here's the control file. It reads load.file, which is the file with the path of the xml data file. It names the path ext_path, and inserts the xml into field xml_field.
CONTENTS OF CONTROL FILE:
load DATA
INFILE 'load.file'
APPEND
INTO TABLE xml_table
( ext_path FILLER CHAR(13),
"XML_FIELD" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
CONTENTS OF FILE LOAD.FILE:
/tmp/load.dat
The xml is in the file /tmp/load.dat.
null

How to read the contents of XML file from my java code

All,
I created an rtf report for one of my EBS reports. Now I want to email this report to several people. Using Tim's blog I implemented the email part. I am sending emails to myself based on the USERID logic.
However I want to email to different people other then me. My email addresses are in the XML file.
From the java program which sends the email, how can I read the fields from XML file. If any one has done this, Please point me to the right examples.
Please let me know if there are any exmaples/BLOG's which explain how to do this(basically read the contents of XML file in the Java program).
Thank You,
Padma

In order to read the content of the Redo Log files, you should use Logminer Utility
Please refer to the documentation for more information:

How to store the data of a file into an ArrayList?

Hi! everyone.
I want to know
if I have a File, and the data in the file are type int, type String...
And I have a ArrayList which is of type Question
How do I store the data of that file into the ArrayList
I tried to use the while loop(use the hasNextLine() to read the data line by line)
But I cannot add data which are not of type Question to the ArrayList.
Can you tell me what I should do, please?
I also wonder that
The data of the file are of many types, but when I try to read it with the nextLine(), the data all turn out to be of type String. Why?
Thank you.
Edited by: Terry001 on Apr 30, 2008 1:13 PM

No, a line in the file is just part of a question
The format of the file is like this:
*<question type code>                    :     String*
*<question point value>                    :     int*
*<question category>                         :     String*
*<question difficulty level>               :     int*
*<question text>                              :     String*
*<question correct answer>               :     String*
*<optional question-specific data>     :     String*
*<question terminator>                    :     String*
And here is an example
TF //TrueFalseQuestion
5 //points value
None //category
3 //difficulty level
The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. //question text
True // answer
*** //quetion terminator
I created an ArrayList in the Test class:
private ArrayList<Question> questions; // Create inside constructor
    public Test (String name, String instr)
        testName = name;
        scoreEarned = 0;
        scorePossible = 0;
        instructions = instr;
        questions = new ArrayList<Question>(); //[MAX_NUMBER_OF_QUESTIONS];
    }And I tried to use the following method to store the data of the file to the ArrayList
// This method loads a set of questions from a plain text file
    public void loadQuestionsFromFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException
        try
            File fileReader = new File("input.txt");
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(fileReader);
            while (sc.hasNextLine())
                // I don't know how to pass the data I got from the nextLine() method to the ArrayList because they are of different type
        catch (FileNotFoundException a)
            System.out.println(a);
    }    As all you said, I should create an Question object in the while loop
Question temp = new Question ();But I have no idea how to pass the int and String to the Question object.
Thank you

How To Fetch the Content of a File from Client's PC?

In my JSP I have this:
<input type="file" name="filename">for visitors of the web page to browse their PCs' directories to select a file to upload (when the Submit button is clicked).
What appears in the text field will be a file name. How do I get both the file name and the content of that file to be saved in the database?

From http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/input.html:
A form that includes a file INPUT must specify METHOD=post and ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in the <FORM> tag. CGI libraries such as CGI.pm allow simple handling of such forms.
Form-based file upload is unsupported by many currently deployed browsers. Authors should provide alternative methods of input where possible.
The following example allows the user to upload an HTML document for validation:
<FORM METHOD=post ACTION="/cgi-bin/validate.cgi" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<P>Select an HTML document to upload and validate. If your browser does not support form-based file upload, use one of our alternate methods of validation.</P>
<P><INPUT TYPE=file NAME="html_file" ACCEPT="text/html"></P>
<P><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Validate it!"></P>
</FORM>
Your servlet would then have to process whatever data is put into that parameter. You can look at O'Reilly's servlet utilities, or one of the other other links here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=java+servlet+file+upload&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.

How to search the content of TPL files?

Hi. I have a folder with hundreds of template "tpl" files that I'm needing to search the file contents of but using the regular search of that folder is unable to search the content of the tpl files, is it possible to do so?
Thanks!,
Wesley

I assume there's not a "scan all files" with Spotlight?
I don't think that would be possible in the specific case of content searches. Here's my understanding:
EasyFind searches the files themselves when it looks for content, which makes it slow but very flexible.
In contrast, Spotlight searches a pre-existing index when it looks for things - it can be instructed to search the index in various ways, but if the desired information is not in the index in the first place, it won't be found. Indexing the content of every file in the system is not feasible, so only the contents of certain file types get indexed. I found the following in [this Wikipedia article|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_%28software%29]:
Aside from basic information about each file like its name, size and timestamps, the mdimport daemon can also index the content of some files, when it has an Importer plug-in that tells it how the file content is formatted. Spotlight comes with importers for certain types of files, such as Microsoft Word, MP3, and PDF documents. Apple publishes APIs that allow developers to write Spotlight Importer plug-ins for their own file formats.[3]
So unless you'd care to write your own Spotlight Importer plug-in for tpl files, I think you are out of luck!

How to store the content of text_edit in the BSP page to infotype

Hi experts,
I created a bsp page with a text_edit which is for every one that read the page to leave comments...
I tried to store the content of the text_edit to infotype, but failed, I noticed that there is a class named CL_HRRCF_INFOTYPE, has method named read_text and update_text.
I think maybe these methods could help me fulfill the requirement,
I've debug the standard program many times(the standard infotype 5130 used the class CL_HRRCF_INFOTYPE and the methods to store descriptions into infotype.)but still can not figure out how the standard complete the process..
Please help me with this...
Thank you!!

So the issue is not with BSP but to find the appropriate method/FM for updating the text. you will get a quicker response in ABAP forum and moving your thread to ABAP forum.

How to check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file

Can anybody help me how i can check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file.
Arif

OK ...
Parameter file:
It will normally be in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directopry. It could be aan init{sid}.ora or a spfile{sid}.ora ... do not edit an SPFILE as yu could corrupt it.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/create.htm#sthref434
If it's an init{sid}.ora, use any editor to see the actual content.
If it's a spfile{sid}.ora, use one of V$PARAMETER, V$PARAMETER2, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER2 as aappropriate (read the Reference manual to get an idea about when each is appropriate)
Control File:
You should not edit a control file.
