I would like to get only specific channels from several .csv files and concatenate into one group.

Hello,
I am working with other groups and getting the data in daily .csv files. When I use the "concatenate groups" script along with a script on importing files, I end up getting a huge file that takes about an hour to concatenate. In order to reduce the amount of time and memory that this takes, I was hoping that someone could help me modify the script so that I could just list the channel name that I am interested in and concatinating only those channels rather than all of them.
For example, if voltage, temperature, pressure and time data are taken daily for 30 days, I would like to import only the temperature and time data (from .csv format) and concatenate into one group.
I have attached the .vbs files that I use.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hi Alan,
Actually, the feature you're asking for is already in the code of mine that you sent back. Look on line 11 of the main VBScript: ChannelSet = "" ' "" or "1-" (DataPlugin) or "Sheet1" (EXCEL Wizard)
If this "ChannelSet" parameter is set to something other than "" or "1-" then it is used in line 78:
Call DataFileLoadSel(FilePaths(i), DataPlugin, ChannelSet)
Yo can specify the channel indices to load with an expression like this:
ChannelSet = "[1]/[1],[3]"
Let me know if you have further questions,

Having trouble reading specific lines from a text file and displaying them in a listbox

Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it. Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple. Here's a simple class example:
Public Class Animal
Public Property Name As String
Public Property Cage As String
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
End Function
End Class
With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
While Not reader.EndOfStream
Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
If lineIndex = 0 Then
currentAnimal.Name = line
ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
currentAnimal.Cage = line
Exit While
End If
lineIndex += 1
End While
animals.Add(currentAnimal)
End Using
Next
'do something to display the animals list
Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView. If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

Search and Delete a specific record from a CSV file

Hi All,
I am new to java . I want to search for the records from CSV file and delete the row form the file.
Below is my Sample .csv
100||a100||1b100
200||b200||dc300
200||bg430||ef850
400||f344||ce888
Now I need some help in below requirements.
1.How to delete a record having value 200 and b200?
2.If record already exists how to update the existing record with new values?
Please share your ideas or give me some code snippet..
Thanks in Advance

In that case Do i need to write the entire contents of my file to a hash table(sumthng like this) and modify the Second row in my case with the new values..
is it possible??I would have done like this (though there maybe better methods)
1- create a class representing the record.
class Record{
      String field1;
      String field2;
      String field3;
      // and so on....
      //setters
      public void setFeild1(String str){
          field1=str;
      // and so on....
      //getters
      public String getFeild1(){
          field1=str;
      // and so on....
      public String toString(){
           return(field1+"||"+field2+"||"+field3);
}//end class2- then create an ArrayList meant to have objects of this class (Generics).
3- read from the file , create a new Record Object and add that to the ArrayList
4- perform operations on the ArrayList (you can add new records, and delete record, update......)
5- write the record back to file using 'toString()' method.
is there ne sample code available for thisdon't know, but you rarely get full code on forums.....outline given can be followed
Thanks!
Edit: It appears that 'r035198x' and me have the same point. This shows that this methodology is almost a standard way( if we ignore the Random access files.....)

I would like to save only selective web sites in my cache, and everything else gets deleted when I close the browser

Lets say I have a website called xyz, I would like to keep the cache from this site and have everything else deleted when I close the browser.

The involved CSS code can be found in this file that you can open via the location bar.
* chrome://global/skin/autocomplete.css
Look for class .ac-emphasize-text and apply modified rules as you like.
You need to add the !important flag to override rules.
Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
@namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");

border-radius: 0px;
text-shadow: none !important;
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

First, this is the Photoshop (full version) forum - you may be able to get more pertinent and specific help down at the Photoshop Elements forum:

Generally speaking, one edits image files then saves the results on one's hard drive, so the photos don't "go into" Photoshop, but rather they are just files on the disk. However, I'm not sure whether you used a feature of Elements I may not be familiar with. You may be best off asking Elements experts.

How to read and select only a specific lines from a CSV file. Pls help

I have a java application to read a CSV file. I've already managed to read them all and output it to System.out.println(). Now the problem is I want to select a specific row of the records. How do I do it? Below is the codes i've typed.
FileReader fr = new FileReader(fileName);
BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(fr);
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
String line = null;
while ((line = inFile.readLine()) != null) {
buf.append(line);
buf.append("\n");
String inString = buf.toString();
System.out.println(inString);
This is the record that i want to read. For example, I want to select n print out line "80,2.90,3.00,3.10,3.20,......."
[Factor1]
Time [s],0.00,0.10,0.20,0.30,0.40,0.50,0.60,0.70,0.80,0.90,1.00,1.10,1.20,1.30,1.40,1.50,1.60,1.70,1.80,1.90,2.00,2.10,2.20,2.30,2.40,2.50,2.60,2.70,2.80,2.90,3.00,3.10,3.20,3.30,3.40,3.50,3.60,3.70,3.80,3.90,4.00,4.10,4.20,4.30,4.40,4.50,4.60,4.70,4.80,4.90,5.00,5.10,5.20,5.30,5.40,5.50,5.60,5.70,5.80,5.90,6.00,6.10,6.20,6.30,6.40,6.50,6.60,6.70,6.80,6.90,7.00,7.10,7.20,7.30
Phi-0 [dB],-0.86,-0.80,-0.80,-0.99,-0.56,-0.53,-0.95

If you know how many bytes each line is, you can use RandomAccessFile to skip directly to the byte position corresponding to your desired line. Otherwise, you'll have to read each line and just ignore the ones you don't want.

How to filter a get-adcomputer command using a text/csv file and output to a CSV

OK, so I'm in the process of trying to get a Windows 7 refresh completed for a large client... I had the bright idea to use AD to find what computers are listed as XP, and determine our progress using that. Well, I run get-adcomputer, and it returns
the results... a whole lot of results that really aren't active anymore. I obtained a list of systems that have been disposed of, holding for disposal, etc... now my problem is I can't quite figure out how to get that list to be used to exclude those
computers from the results... I execute my script, it runs, but it seems to get stuck in a loop... I'm sure I'm missing something VERY basic, but I can't figure it out. This is the first time I've ever attempted to use the get-content commandlet, so
again, I'm sure I'm doing something stupid.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
import-module ActiveDirectory
$exclude = get-content c:\scripts\excludes.csv
ForEach ($entry in $Exclude)
$Excl = "*$entry*"
get-adcomputer -filter {Name -notlike $excl} | select Name,operatingsystem
} Export-CSV c:\scripts\xpfil.csv

OK, this one with a little tweaking on my excludes.txt worked... I'd really like to know what the
?{$a -notcontains $_.name}
is doing... Step through it if you can... that way next time I'm not beating my head against this same rather solid wall!
? is an alias for Where-Object. I avoid using aliases in posts, as they usually confuse people.
The concept is that you're reading your exclude list into a variable and then verifying that the variable doesn't contain the computer name that you're currently processing in the pipeline. In my case, I'm running each object through a ForEach-Object loop.
Make sense?

I can't get video to loop exporting an OAM file and importing into Muse. Seems to ignore all triggers.

I've tried everything I can think of, but triggers are ignored. I've tested in Safari and Firefox so far. Tested in Muse Preview. Tested in An. Nothing is paying attention to the trigger I have set up.
I've used a label to get it to loop back to the beginning. I've used zero to get it to loop back. I've searched the web, YouTube, and here looking for answer none will fix this. No errors in the error box BTW. Been back to Lynda.com re-re-viewing videos. All seems fine, but it isn't.
Website is here: http://www.moviesandfx.com. The animation on the home page is what I want to loop. It plays okay in Safari, has mixed results in Firefox. Not sure yet about IE, I'm on a Mac.
I'd love to hear ideas to fix this. The workflow is An—>OAM export—>Muse "place"—>Muse publish to ftp.
Thank you,
Dan

I'm having the same problem. I inserted the oam in Dreamweaver, where it loops forever in split and live view. As soon as I view it in a browser (Safari and Chrome), the looping is disabled. There are no console errors.

I would like to get rid of firefox 4 and go back to the older one, how do I do this

I would like to get rid of firefox 4 its a nuisance and go back to the old one how do I do this

It's helpful to give more specific feedback if you can.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] (copy your whole profile folder).
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

i would like to get my notes back from itunes or at least be able to see them without restoring my brand new iphone 4s as i believe the back up from my previous iphone is corrupted. Help please

If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

I have an ipad and an iphone. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone. I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

Please see above. I have both an ipad and and iphoen. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne. However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone. So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad. Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

How to download only specific photos from my camera?

Hi,
I'm in the habit of not deleting the photo images from my camera's CF card frequently. The problem with using iPhoto is that that it appears to only allow me to download ALL or NOTHING of the photos on my camera. I would like to selectively download specific photos from my camera with iPhoto. Is this possible?
Thanks.
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello.
There is also a way to selectively upload directly to iPhoto. If your camera mounts on the desktop as an external drive, simply ignore iPhoto's initial uploading screen. [Click back on Library in the Source Pane if this screen distracts you.] Choose File> Import to Library. A window will open where you can navigate to your camera, preview the images, and select only the ones you wish to upload. As in the Finder, Shift-click will select a contiguous range, and Command-click selects multiple, nonconsecutive items.
If your camera does not mount on the desktop (most Canons do not) then you can use a card reader. Place the card in the reader, connect to the Mac via USB, and use the above method to upload from the card. This is my preferred method, since it saves on the camera's batteries.
Cheers.
