Using a "Scheduled Task" on a cisco controller to output data to a text file

Can someone tell me if there is a way to run a Cron Job, RBA, or some other automated process on an 8510? The idea would be to run the job every 5mins, and output the data to a text file. Is this possible?

In your script - you might be able to capture the error by putting your code inside a try/catch block. Something like:
try {
# do stuff
} catch {
$error.message | out-file c:\temp\script.txt

Plotting from a text file like a media player example.jpg ‏61 KB

HI Martin,
i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
so what you can do:
write all the values in an array.
the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
the other option is to use the history function of the graphes

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;
    $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
    @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file

Hi,
How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Reading data from a text file but can't use the data outside of the function.

I am trying to load a variable from data in a text file.
I can read the text file fine but the variable data seems
only to be available with in the function that reads it.
I need to use the variable data outside of the function.
Does anyone have any suggestions to work around this issue?
This is the actionscript code i'm using.
var pathVars= new LoadVars();
pathVars.onLoad=function(ok) {
if(ok)
trace("Loading");
path_var=pathVars.path;
trace("This is within the function "+path_var);
pathVar0="This is within the function... "+path_var;
Yet the path_var is available here fine.
pathVars.load("mypath.txt");
This is where the path_var becomes undefined
trace("This is outside the function... "+path_var);
pathVar1="This is outside the function... "+path_var;
This
is a download link for the FLA zip file
This
is a demo of the script loading the text file

The external traces are being executed before the file is
loaded.

1 Analog Input using a DAQ card and would like to save the data into an excel file

As you may have realized, I am very new at using Labview 6.1. I have an analog voltage input that I would like to save in an Excel file as a 2D array (time, voltage). I was wondering if anyone knew a very simple way of doing this and could help me out. Thanks

There are a couple example program online and in LabVIEW that I think you’ll find useful. You might want to consider just writing out a tab-delimited spreadsheet file that Excel can read rather than writing it out to Excel directly as this requires learning ActiveX and Microsoft’s Common Object Model.
In LabVIEW, see the Write to Text File.vi in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\file\smplfile.llb. Writes simulated, timestamped data to a text file in ASCII format that can be read by spreadsheet applications.
Online, you can look at:
Stream Scaled Data (Voltages) to a Spreadsheet File
Chart Analog Data from File, Using the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet.vi Example
Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Scheduling multiple tab BO XI3 report needs to save into multiple text file

Hi,
I have BO XI 3 Desktop Intelligence reports, those reports contains multiple tabs. Once after scheduling these reports the output needs to save as different text files (each tab as separate text file). Generally when select output as text file we will get the text file with the data of current tab, but in this scenario I want all the tabs data into different text files. I guess we can do this with macro. But I am not good in macro development, hope somebody can help me.
Could you please help out for the same!
Thanks,
Rama

Thanks Dan.. I made chenges in code as per your suggestion.. its working fine in DeskI -> local PC
But this is not working in InfoView level... when i scheduled the same report its not saving into multiple text files... can you please have look...
macro code as follows:-
Public Sub SaveAsText()
Dim StrTxtPath As String
Dim BusDoc As busobj.Document
Set BusDoc = ThisDocument
Dim BusRep As Report
Dim I As Integer
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
'StrTxtPath = "
xxxx.xxx.xxx.com\common\Reporting\"
StrTxtPath = "D:\Business Objects\Test_Macro\"
For I = 1 To BusDoc.Reports.Count
Set BusRep = BusDoc.Reports.Item(I)
BusRep.ExportAsText (StrTxtPath & BusRep.Name)
Next I
ErrHandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub
When i run this macro through DeskI.. its saving the report as multiple .txt files with respective number of tabs... but the same thing is not working when i tried in scheduling...
Can you please suggest me what are the changes needs to be done...
Thanks in Advance
Thanks,

How to load data in plain-text file into database by using EJB?

Trying to write data to a text file using java.io.File

I am trying to create a text file and write data to it by using java.io.File and . I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0. When I try run the program I get a java.lang.NullPointerException error. Here is the snippet of code that I believe is calling the class that's causing the problem:
String fpath = "/test.html";
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fpath);
PrintStream pout = new PrintStream(out);
Do I need to add additional locations for source files or am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This class contained some other functions i've deleted, but i think it still works.
That enables to create a log (.txt file) that you can fill line by line.
Each line start by the current system date. This class was used in swing application, but could work in a web app.

Use AppleScript or Automator (or both) to get Mail and add to a text file?

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate of a well-known topic, I tried searching and couldn't see anything.
I'm behind a proxy at work that blocks any kind of webmail access, but I'd like to be able to check my email while on a break or something.
I had the idea that I could use Automator or Applescript to check my mail, get the new messages and add the text to a textfile that I could host on my personal webserver that I use for family stuff.
I've tried an automator workflow that seems to work while in Automator, but when I save it as an application, it won't even start Mail to check.
I also thought of just leaving mail running, and have a rule that starts a script when new mail arrives, but I don't know enough about Applescript to do it.
I don't want to confuse anyone with the details of my convoluted ideas, so I'll leave it at that.
Is there a way to do this? I want mail to check the server, download the messages, new messages get their text appended to a text file that's stored in my webserver's directory (same computer) that I can access from the web, and have it repeat every 5 minutes or so.
If I've left out a detail, let me know, and if I'm just stupid and there's an easy way to do this... be kind.
Thanks!

iMac G5 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It certainly is going in the right direction. I'm not all that versed in AppleScript, but it looks like that particular script is creating a new text file for every message processed.
I would like to either create a specific text file if it doesn't exist, or append the text to the end of the file if it does exist.
But like I said, definitely heading in the right direction!

I have used a 'for loop' to create an array of output data, however I want the each of the data sets from the array to be placed into a 1-D array. How do I concatenate the output of the for loop into a 1-D array?

I am using this to create a data set that will be passed as an anolog output therefore it needs to have the correct array dimensions to go into the analog write vi.

I'm updating my request... I've figured out how to do this by copying an example that uses a simple FOR loop (as seen in the attached current version of my VI). My question now becomes this: Is there a way to save the Y values corresponding to those X values into two more arrays? That is, just for argument's sake, let's say I took the first 100 elements from the X array, and found them to be positive. Then I would like to take the first 100 elements of the Y array and put them into a 'Y Values for X > 0' array. ...And likewise with the negative X values, they should have a separate array of corresponding 'Y values for X < 0' array.
I can see that I should somehow save the indices of the positive X values from the large arrray wh
en I sort them out, and use those indices to pick out the elements from the main Y array with the same indices.
I just can't seem to set up the code necessary to do this. ...Can anyone help, please?

Retriving data from a text file using vbs

Hi all,
Im relatively new at this, but want to delve right into it.
I need to look for a string of text in a log file.

if the field contains very large data then yes, defining the target field in Oracle as a CLOB will solve your issue.
