Read two lvm files with different length

I'm trying to read to same graph two different measurements with same starting point, starting point is OK.
But when the shorter file is coming to the end the VI stops with following message:
"Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: End of file encountered.
=========================
NI-488: Invalid argument or arguments to function call."
How can I come over this and get both measurements into same graph in their full length with same starting point?
PS I have attached the VI file, a short and a long measurement file. Changed the file extension from LVM to TXT

Hi,
Apprently your LabVIEW is set with the option "enable automatic error handling", you can change this in tools >> options block diagram untick the option.
Doing this will only get ride of the dialog when the error occurs but not get read of the error.
So you are reading your files chunk by chunk in your while loop, so at some point you will get to the end of your files, when you do the VI you are using return an error 4 "end of file reached", from here you have different possibilities, if you want to be able to read files that have different length, here is a quick way to ignore the "end of file" error on both files independantly.
Hope this helps

How can i compare two excel files with different no. of records.

Hi
I am on to a small project that involves us to compare two excel files. i am able to do it but am struck up at a point. When i compare 2 different .csv files with different no. of lines i am only able to compare upto a point till when the number of lines is same in both the files.
Eg. if source file has 8 lines and target file has 12 lines. The difference is displayed only till 8 lines and the remaining 4 lines in source lines are not shown.
Can you help me in displaying those extra 4 lines in source file. I am attaching my code snippet below..
while (((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) && ((strLine1 = br1.readLine())) != null)
                 String delims = "[;,\t,,,|]";
                String[] tokens = strLine.split(delims);
                String[] tokens1 = strLine1.split(delims);
               if (tokens.length > tokens1.length)
                for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
                    try {
                        if (!tokens.equals(tokens1[i])) {
System.out.println(tokens[i] + "<----->" + tokens1[i]);
out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + tokens1[i]);
out.println();
sno++;
} catch (Exception exception)
out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + "");
out.println();
Thanks & Regards

A CSV file is not an Excel file.
But apart from that your logic makes no sense.
If the 2 files are of different sizes the files are different by definition, so further comparison isn't needed, you're done.
If you want to compare individual records, you need to compare all records from one file with all records from the other, unless the order of records is important in which case your current system might work.
That system however is overly complicated for comparing CSV files.
As you assume a single record per line, and if one can assume those records to have identical layout (so no leading or trailing whitespace in or between columns in one file that's not in the other) comparing records is simply a matter of comparing the entire lines.

SSIS project - read multiple flat files with different formats

hi all,
i need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
please advise the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.

Hi AK1987,
To import flat files with dynamic columns, we can use Script Task inside a Foreach Loop Container to parse the first row of the flat file to get the columns names and save them into a .NET variable, then, we can create “Create Table” script based on this
variable, and then store the script into a SSIS package variable. After that, we create a staging table based on the package variable, load the flat file data to the staging table. Eventually, we load data from the staging table to the destination table. For
the detail steps, please walk through the following blog:

Reading a text file with different delimiters using Scanner

Hello,
I'm trying to read text from a file using ", " as a delimiter between Strings using a Scanner. I tried reading one line and then using the split() method in the string class, split each string by it's delimiter. I tried using an ArrayList to store each split token and the compiler is giving me some sort of syntax error when I'm pretty sure its right. If help can be given, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Here's my code
Scanner input = new Scanner(backupFile);
input.useDelimiter("[, ]");
while (input.hasNext()) {
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
String s = input.nextLine();
String delims = "[, ]";
list.add(s.split(delims));
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
System.out.println(list.get(i));
list.clear();
}

s.split(delims) will return an array of strings, not a string. So you need to declare list as an array list of such arrays:ArrayList<String[]> list = new ArrayList<String[]>();(It's a good idea to copy and post compiler messages here, so no-one has to guess. Likewise indicate which line of your code they are referring to.)
[Edit]If it only the contents of the array you wish to put in the array, then you can just say List list = Arrays.asList(s.split(delims));

Reading fixed length file with different record types

Hi,
I need to read a fixed-length file with different record types, but the record identifier is in 31st position and not in 1st position.
But if I give 31 as position in File adpater wizard, BPEL takes whole 1-31 as identifier.
How we need to read such files.
Thanks

From sap to excel file with different sheets?

can i upload an internal table from SAP to single Excel file with different sheets for example like : sheet1, sheet2, sheet3.......sheet10. , but need to upload data from sap to excel worksheets ie. from multiple named tabs in Excel. Is this possible, and if so, please can you help and advise me how?
thanks
venkat.
Edited by: Matt on Feb 16, 2009 2:15 PM Removed excessive question marks...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi venkat,
Yes indeed it is possible to write data from internal table to different excel sheets. Check out SAP's Microsoft OLE functionality.Search on SDN for OLE . Following are some links
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/abap/sample%252bprogram%252bto%252bopen%252bexcel%252bsheet%252busing%252bole
You can also check out FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to check how to read different worksheets.
Using the above two resources you can create a program that can upload data to multiple worksheets in the same workbook.

Creating pdf-file from multiple files with different orientation

How do I put together two files with different orientation in the page set up so that the lying A4-format is standing up in the new pdf-file?

First I've underline a Phrase in your Question did you mean underlying A4-format?
Are both PDF Files created with A4-Format? If yes then:
Did you shift orientation to Portriat Format for the item(s) that you need, such as a Chart or an excel Document? If so:
Then when the documents are meged They should print correctly.

Read two CSV files and remove the duplicate values within them.

Hi,
I want to read two CSV files(which contains more than 100 rows and 100 columns) and remove the duplicate values within that two files and merge all the unique values and display it as a single file.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Can you help me....Yeah, I've just finished... Here's a skeleton of my solution.
The first thing I think you should do is write a line-parser which splits your input data up into fields, and test it.
Then fill out the below parse method, and test it with that debugPrint method.
Then go to work on the print method.
I can help a bit along the way, but if you want to do this then you have to do it yourself. I'm not going to do it for you.

Interface output file : tab limited vs flat file with fixed length

hey guys,
any idea on difference b/w to file type : flat file with fixed length or tab limited file
thanks

Tab Delimited:
Two Field are seperated by a TAB
eg. SANJAY SINGH
First field is First Name and Second is Sir Name.
Nth field will be after N -1 tab
Fixed Length:
Every field has a fixed starting position and length
eg. SANJAY SINGH
Here First field start from Position 1 and has lenght 10 and 2nd field start from 11th postion and has lenght 10.
Fixed Length -> The lenght of each field is fixed, while in tab delimited the lenght of field is not fixed but we know it ends when the Seperatot (Tab) is encountered.

HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one?

I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one account?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

Automating the process of comparing two PDF file with the help of QTP(Automation Testing Tool)

Can anybody help me with comparing the two pdf files with the help of QTP.I have Adobe Acrobat installed on my system and i have access to the API.
Thanks,
Varun Saini

I want to find out more about QTP and API. Maybe that is what I want to compare two mechanical drawings for differences between them. (see “More than one pdf file in one window”. Is that what you are looking to do? 9Not necessarily mechanical drawings but some other pdf).

Printing different/selective files with different copies

Hi everyone,
I've been working on finding a solution, on how to print different pdf files with different copies, without opening the pdf-files.
Task:
I have a folder, with 25 pdf files
I want to make a php overview, of the folder
At the end of each line/file - i would like to add a number for the copies
In the end, I would like to simply press print - and every document ive added a number/copies to - are being printet...
I guess I need to use PrintPDF - but does anyone know any pre-made program/function - that could handle the "copies" part...?
I hope someone can help me out,
Thanks
Jan

Well, i had hoped that the acrobat could open silent - eventhough they've removed that feature in the newer versions.
Even though the program would open - if the amount of copies was added - and i just hat to press print - it would ease the job alot.

I can't open two eml files with Thunderbid

I want to open two .eml files with Thunderbid. When I try to do it, I can open the first, but when I try to open the second Thunderbird doesn't do it.

It sounds like the files that aren't working are likely corrupt or perhaps not properly designated as .eml files. When you say "Thunderbird doesn't do it" do you mean Thunderbird doesn't launch, or do you mean it tries to open the file and returns an error? The error could be helpful in the latter case, as could information about where the file came from. In the former case, FYI, when I drag attached .eml files (from e-mails forwarded as attachments) to my desktop, they are named "Inbox" (as opposed to Inbox.eml). I rename them to add the .eml and then I can open them with Thunderbird, but otherwise I will be prompted by Windows for what to do with them.
