WEBUTIL: Uploading files with arabic file names to a BLOB column in DB

Hi
I'm using webutil (webutil_file_transfer.client_to_db_with_progress)
to store files in a blob field in a 9i database, I'm doing that using forms 9i.
I'm successful in storing files with English names in the database, however if I want to store a file with an arabic file name , it doesn't get uploaded and the BLOB is empty. Is there any work around to solve this problem.
I tried renaming the arabic file name to an english file name then uploading which was fine, but when I try to rename the file back to arabic, this step fails. I asked a friend and he said that although I'm renaming the file back to arabic in a statment after uploading, that doesn't mean that the upload has finished, i.e the file is still locked for upload that's why I can't rename it back to arabic, I can't rename it even if I try that directly from the operating system.
can anyone help in solving this problem!!
Regards

Upload new pdf file with the same name

We are trying to upload a pdf file with a specific name (i.e
file.pdf) that has links to it on many pages of a website. We need
the pdf file to keep the same name but when we try to upload it,
Contribute is being 'smart' and changing the name so as to not
overwrite the file on the server. But we WANT to overwrite the file
on the server. Any ideas on how we can achieve this in Contribute?
Thanks so much (in advance) for your help!

Actually, we have the same problem and I believe the answer
lies in the abilities that your role has assigned to it. The
solution that ThinkInk gave works *if you are allowed to delete
files*. If your role doesn't have that permission, then it will
just upload another copy of the file and rename it.
It's rather irritating that there isn't more control over
this...our server is littered with *thousands and thousands* of
duplicate files that originate from this situation.
If your administrator wants you to be able to delete files as
well, then you could get him/her to give you that permission, and I
believe this will allow you to overwrite the file by using the
"Publish file from my computer" option described above.

Ls shows ??.html after creating file with arabic name using java applicatio

Hi,
I have a java application which is taking attachments and saving to the file system. when somebody attaches any file with the file name in arabic, the ls command shows ??.html , ????.html etc. The application is also not able to find the file later, cos it expects the arabic named file. How can I accomplish this task (" how can i rename a text file with an arabic name")
Any help would be highly appreciated
Many thanks in advance

I found a sample class that also uses HttpServlet and it won't work on my computer Either:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Circle extends HttpServlet
    public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request,
                        HttpServletResponse response)
                            throws ServletException, IOException
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println( "<BODY><H1 ALIGN=CENTER> Circle Info </H1>\n");
        try
            String sdiam = request.getParameter("diameter");
            double diam = Double.parseDouble(sdiam);
            out.println("<BR><H3>Diam:</H3>" + diam +
            "<BR><H3>Area:</H3>" + diam/2.0 * diam/2.0 * 3.14159 +
            "<BR><H3>Perimeter:</H3>" + 2.0 * diam/2.0 * 3.14159);
        catch ( NumberFormatException e )
            out.println("Please enter a valid number");
        out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
}As for IE I tried setting all of my security to the lowest settings I have but it didn't work. I just noticed though that the IE explorer bar at the bottom states :
Exception null.
When the applet is first started. Not sure what to make of that.
I don't think it's a dependancy error because when I make a reference to something that the compiler can't find I get a different error. Or if I miss importing something it just refuses to compile.
I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my Java or the Servlet classes?
Thanks

How can I overwrite a file with the same name in Content DB?

Hi All,
In Content DB if I upload a file with the same name as a previous one, the application shows the warning message:
" ...You cannot upload "XXXXXX.doc" to "Test 1" because an item with the same name already exists ..."
And the alternatives are "Create Version" or "Cancel" the operation. Is there any way to overwrite a previous file as we can do it in Oracle Files ?
Regards
Harvey

Hi All,
Can anybody from the Content DB product development answer this question?

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

After installing latest update Realplayer recording no longer works, I think Mozila is using a library file with the same name

After installing the latest update to Firefox onto Vista operating system the record part of real player no longer works, I think Mozila and Real are using a library file with the same name and the Mozila update is overwriting a Realplayer library file.

I was giong to say, "Help me, Adobe Joe Kenobi", but it looks like you're growing a beard waiting for an answer, too.
The same thing happened to me today. I trusted the "update" message since it was from Adobe, and apprently did so at my own peril. Now I get the "failed to load Core dll" message with a secondary reference to a memory address.
Just an observation, but what good are these forums when there are no answers? I see this problem as "Caused by Adobe Update", and would expect them to troublshoot and offer up a remedy. Since you've been waiting over two months with no response, I suppose it's time to trek off wasting more of my precious time to fix their problem. If I find the solution, I'll post it back to you.
May the Force be with you.

How to copy a files spotlight comments for an entire folder and place them in a different file with that same name

I have the same question in a different discussion but I already marked it as solved because one of the questions was answered. Here's the linke to the other discussion if your interested https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5970421
I have movie covers saved as a jpeg for every movie my family and I own. There is about 700 and they each have a comment of the main actors, release dates, and descriptions. This makes it easy to find what to watch.Is there an applescript, automator, program I can download, or program code supported in xcode that will do the following set of inscructions?
Take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments to a file with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files

Clendenen02 wrote:
where should I run the code? in the terminal, or an applescript, or should put it in xcode and run it from there or the terminal.
What MrHoffman said.
But if it's easier, you can wrap it in Automator and have Automator ask for the Folders: (Test on a sample of your files before running on all 700 files)
(do you really own 700 movies??)
The Workflow is:
Put this in the Run Shell Script Action (and pass input as arguments":
PicDir=$1
MovDir=$2
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" = "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
          if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
               picname=${f##*/}
               movname=${picname%.*}.m4v
               if [[ -e "$MovDir"/$movname ]]; then
osascript <<-EOF
tell application "Finder"
set comment of file (POSIX file "$MovDir/$movname") to "$comment"
end tell
EOF
               fi
          fi
     fi
done
(BTW, I know that this is a bit of sloppy scripting (wraping an osascript in a Bash Script wrapped in Automator, but it does what you need)

SPD 2010 - How to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library

Hi,
I've created a workflow using SPD. One of the steps in there is changing the name of the document to a clean name. This workflow fails if a document with this same name already exists in my document library. Is there a way to check in a SPD workflow if
a document with a given name already exists in my document library ?
Marc Nemegeer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library.
You can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to achive it.
To test to see if a document exists, you need to use condition:
If Current List:Name equals [%Current Item:Title%].docx
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

Compressor crash when attempting import files with 00* in name

I produce several short video files every day and name them using a sequential five digit numerical naming convention.
I'm finding that whenever I'm near, at or shortly after crossing a 100 mark Compressor crashes when I try and import single files with the following filenames (these are the most recent examples):
20993
21000
21001
21005
The only way to import these problematic files is to select the file before, or after, then Command click on the filename causing the crash. Click Open to import both into the batch, and then click on the file I first clicked on and hit Delete to remove it from the batch, leaving the file with the problematic name.
For Example. I want to import 21005 into Compressor for processing, but every time I try and import it Compressor crashes. So I re-launch Compressor, click the little Q button and click on 21004, then press Command and click on 21005. Click Open, import window goes away to reveal the Batch window. Click on 21004, press Delete button on keyboard leaving me with the file that was causing the crash.
FWIW apart from the file duration/size, there's no difference between these files. In fact I can change the names and the files that used to import fine now crash Compressor when attempt to import with any of the filenames above.
Here's the info behind two of the problem files and also that of the two adjacent files that import fine:
(all files: Dimension: 720 x 480. Codecs: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. Channel Count: 2. Kind: Final Cut Pro Movie File. No color labels.
20999 (Imports Fine):
File Size: 394,475,469 bytes
Duration: 01'44
21000 (Compressor Crasher):
File Size: 324,052,925 bytes
Duration: 01'26
21001 (Compressor Crasher):
File Size: 339.730.909 bytes

Hello,
Thanks for the replies/info.
Yes the Panther and Jaguar install disks are retail versions, not specific machine versions. And the Jaguar ones worked for the Powerbook before.
The Powerbook I have is the Firewire 500mhz one, Pismo I think it's called. The hard drive is a 60GB one. I didn't have to partition it before.
Reviewing all the above, it would appear that the problem is me not being able to use an internal, built in CD/DVD drive to install from this time? The only other thing it could be I think is the crash I recently had has had some bad effect -- but that's unlikely right? So, I need to get a new DVD drive? Or is there any other way to get the OS onto the Powerbook without getting another internal DVD/CD drive? Is there anyway to install onto the PB from another machine maybe?
Does that sound right?: not being able to use internal DVD/CD drive is the source of my current problem?
Thanks.

For each loop in case of more file with the same name

Hi, guys how works ForEachLoop in case of double file? Let's say that we got five excel file. A.xls, B.xls, C.xls, D.xls, A.xls. We got two file with A.xls. I'm going to assume that both file will be loaded. It's correct?
I'm asking this because I need to check if I got two file with the same name ( I got hundreds of file to load). And in the same time I need to avoid to load two file with the same title ( cause I could double the data)

If there are duplicate file names in subfolders then you should fill the variable with the complete path. See C in this images:

The same file with the same name need to call two RFC's with the sequence

i have to pick up the same file with the same name and call the two RFC in sequence
scenario.i have xxx.txt file.file should be proces first calling the first rfc .
I created two different communication channels
for the first sender file communication channel i should not use processing mode archive,delete,Test
and only option is set read only.
if i set the read only the file ..then i can not use the same file again to call second RFC.
how we can acheive the above scenario?
Regards,
Hyma

If you want to file need to be picked up twice in same folder, it seems it is hard for PI adapter to achieve it, you should look for API's that control adapters availibility.
But if you have different folder, then it make your scenario simpler since you can process first time, then output to another folder, configure another adapter to pick up from different folder.

How do I make Applescript to compress 2 filez with the same name?

Hello guys and thank you for reading this!
I don't know a lot about programming, but i believe applescript can save my life. What I need is.
Detecting 2 files with the same name, but differnt extension. (song 1.jpg, song 1.mp3)
Compressing those 2 files into a single .zip (In the end I would have song 1.jpg, song 1.mp3 and song 1.zip
And that's it! I know its pretty simple, and I've seen the "Create Archive" in automator, but I don't really know how to tell him which files to Compress.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Try this script :
set sourceFolder to choose folder
tell application "System Events"
      {name, name extension} of (files of sourceFolder whose name extension is not "zip")
      my compress2FilesSameName(the result, sourceFolder as string)
      repeat with i in (get folders of sourceFolder) --check in subfolders
            {name, name extension} of (files of i whose name extension is not "zip")
            my compress2FilesSameName(the result, path of i)
      end repeat
end tell
on compress2FilesSameName(tList, tFolder)
      set tnames to item 1 of tList
      set tExtensions to item 2 of tList
      set tc to count tnames
      set j to 1
      repeat while j < tc
            tell (item j of tExtensions) to if it is not missing value or it is not "" then
                  set n1 to (count) + 2
            else
                  set n1 to 1
            end if
            tell (item (j + 1) of tExtensions) to if it is not missing value or it is not "" then
                  set n2 to (count) + 2
            else
                  set n2 to 1
            end if
            set name1 to item j of tnames
            set name2 to item (j + 1) of tnames
            if (text 1 thru -n1 of name1) = (text 1 thru -n2 of name2) then -- same name
                  set tFile1 to quoted form of POSIX path of (tFolder & name1)
                  set tFile2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (tFolder & name2)
                  set zipFile to quoted form of POSIX path of (tFolder & (text 1 thru -n1 of name1) & ".zip")
                  do shell script "/usr/bin/zip -j " & zipFile & " " & tFile1 & " " & tFile2
                  set j to j + 2
            else
                  set j to j + 1
            end if
      end repeat
end compress2FilesSameName
if an archive already exists with the same name (in the parent folder of the files to compress) , the ZIP command overwrite this ".zip" file.
Example with "song 1.jpg", "song 1.mp3" and "song 1.zip" :
If "song 1.zip" doesn't exist, the ZIP command create the "song 1.zip" file.
If "song 1.zip" exist, the ZIP command overwrite the "song 1.zip" file (it will not create a new archive).

Cloning OS2 HDD to USB stick hangs at a file with the same name ???

Hi,
I'm dragging my MacIntosh HD icon to a large USB stick in order to clone it because I'm going to install OS X Tiger onty my iMac G3/400 DV SE. The copying initiates, it starts, and after a few hundreds of MB's a small window pops up with this remark (translated from Dutch) :
" The file XXXXX cannot be copied because another file with the same name exists already." The window has two buttons : STOP and Continue. No matter which button I click, the process stops and I'm left with a few hundred MB on my USB stick. Deleting the "double" file doesn't help because a few minutes later another one pops up.
How is this possible? The USB stick is completely empty! Can anybody tell me what's going on and how to stop this, otherwise I'll never be able to clone the HDD.
Thanks for your kind information,
Paul

It was a bug in Classic OS, which was manifest in certain circumstances. My workaround was, at that time, to isolate the rascal (was possible, like in your case), eliminate it, then add it later.
Such events may occurs with Mac OS X files too, I cannot figure out why. One or two apps in my software archive usually do that.
another workaround it to archive it (.zip now, .sit in classic Mac OS), check whether applicable.

Create a dir if there exists a file with the same name

Hi..
I want to create a directory with file.mkdir(). But I recognize a problem when there is allready a File with the same name.
Is there any solution to handle a dir and a file with the same name?
eg: Dir "C:\Windows" and File "C:\Windows"
wami

This explains it... use "java Test2 asdsfd" for example. While this example doesn't show it,
if you try to create a dir with another slash on it c:\blah\ , it still can't be done.
import java.io.*;
public class Test2
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
     if (args.length < 1){
     System.out.println("Test2 [name]");
     System.out.println("creating bogus file " +args[0]);
     FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(args[0]);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.write(55);
     fo.close();
     File x = new File(args[0]);
     if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
     else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0]);
     System.out.println("deleting file " + args[0]);
     x.delete();
     if (x.mkdir()) System.out.println("made dir " + args[0]);
     else System.out.println("failed to make dir " + args[0] + " again !");
}

How to open a file with the same name?

Hi, now I practicing making web pages where I put sample codes in one directory and I copy them to edit.
The probrem is, I couldn't open one file while I'm opening another file with the same name.
Is it possible to open a file with the same name in Dreamweaver?

That could be a very error prone practice.
May I suggest you take advantage of DW "Snippets" feature instead.
Simply save any blocks of code you will reuse regularly as snippets,
and give each one a descriptive name you like.
Then you can simply place your cursor in code view where you wish the code,
and click insert on the selected item from the snippet panel.
