A programme that will extract particular records from a file

Let's assume that there is a text file containing arround 50 records in the following format:
ABCDEFGH:AB:12345:-09876:567:876
The file to be read by the programme consist of a sequence of records each of which is split into fields using separator characters just like as we have in the Unix. The command line arguments should be given to execute the programme
The most important part of the programme is that the condition for extracting a particular record from that file will be that specified fields shall contain a particular string of characters.
The command line arguments to be given are:
-tx This flag specifies the field separator character "x"
-<num> This flag introduces a match requirement for field "num". Fields are numbered starting at 1. This flag may be followed by further flags and then by the string to look for.
-f Fold case. I.e. string matching is not case sensitive.
-t Transposition match. A match is recorded even if the strings differ provided the difference consists of just 2 characters transposed so that, for example: "compiler and complier" will be recorded as a match.
-d A differ match. A match is recorded even if the two strings differ by one letter. For example: "gest and rest" will be recorded as a match.
The file to be processed will be specified in the final command line argument.
If match requirements are specified for more than one field the implication is that all fields specified must separately satisfy their individual match requirements. If any fields referred to in the match requirements are missing from a particular record then the record will not satisfy the overall match requirements.

And your question is??

How do I extract matching records from two tables?

I'm trying to extract client records from our client database to put together a very targeted email campaign. As an example, the result I want is a list of names and email addresses of those clients who have a record in our system, have not had a visit in our clinic in the last year, and live within 200 miles of our clinic. I can capture the first two criteria in one extract, and the second in another. I can then import those as tab delimited data into Numbers. What I then need to do is create a third table that represents ONLY those records that exist in both tables.
Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so, how to do it?
I'd be very appreciative of any help, thank you.

You can create a column that generates a serial marker on the table from which you want to transfer the data, making all the names that also appear on the other table. Not that the formula will mark only exact matches.
Here's a short example:
Table 1 on the left, is one of the two tables imported from the tab delimited data files. It has other data, but only the names in column A are used to identify records appearing on both tables.
Table 2 on the right, contains the names and other data (represented by the email addresses in column B), to be transferred to the third table.
Column C of this table contains the formula that counts off the rows containing names appearing on both tables. The version below is in C2, and is filled down to the end of the column.
=IF(COUNTIF(Table 1 :: $B,A2)>0,MAX($C$1:C1)+1,"")
Note that jane Doe is not counted (or transferred) as her name is recorded differently on the two tables.
Table 3 is the results table. It contains one formula for each column to be transferred from Table 2 to Table 3.
A2: =IF((ROW()-1>MAX(Table 2 :: $C)),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Table 2 :: $C,Table 2 :: $A))
B2: =IF((ROW()-1>MAX(Table 2 :: $C)),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Table 2 :: $C,Table 2 :: $B))
Regards,
Barry
EDIT: I was working in Numbers '09 when developing this, and got the following warning when I saved a copy as an iWork '08 document:
Referencing row or column ranges that include header or footer cells isn't supported. The formula references were updated to exclude header and footer cells.
The formulas in Table 2::C2 references C1. You may have to ensure that Table 2 does not include a header row.
B.
EDIT2: A check on the file in Numbers '08 showed no apparent change to the formula, and editing Jane Doe's name on table 1 resulted in her name being added to Table 3.

Deletion of a particular record from database table

hai friends,
i want to delete (or) insert particular record from predefined sap table... that is with out module pool programming... can i delete or insert a record to or from the table..
thanks in advance
@jay

hi,
ucan do it without module pool programming in your normal report program.
To insert a line into an index table, use the statement:
INSERT <line> INTO <itab> [INDEX <idx>].
<line> is either a work area that is convertible to the line type, or the expression INITIAL LINE. If you use <wa>, the system adds a new line to the internal table <itab> and fills it with the contents of the work area. INITIAL LINE inserts a blank line containing the correct initial value for each field of the structure.
To select the lines that you want to delete using a condition, use the following:
DELETE FROM <target> WHERE <cond> .
All of the lines in the database table that satisfy the conditions in the WHERE clause are deleted. The FROM expression must occur between the keyword and the database table.
You should take particular care when programming the WHERE clause to ensure that you do not delete the wrong lines. For example, if you specify an empty internal table in a dynamic WHERE clause, all of the lines in the table are deleted.
If at least one line is deleted, the system sets SY-SUBRC to 0, otherwise to 4. SY-DBCNT contains the number of lines deleted.

keerthi

Hi,
I look at the transaction ST22 to see which type of error has given you. Take a look at the notes to correct the error.
Another option is to look at OSS notes, because the error is giving you a standard extractor.
Greetings,

I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

Need help writing a MySQL query that will return only records with matching counter-parts

Since I don't know how to explain this easily, I'm using the
table below as an example.
I want to create a MySQL query that will return only records
that have matching counter-parts where 'col1' = 'ABC'.
Notice the 'ABC / GHI' record does not have a
counter-matching 'GHI / ABC' record. This record should not be
returned because there is no matching counter-part. With this
table, the 'ABC / GHI' record should be the only one returned in
the query.
How can I create a query that will do this?
id | col1 | col2
1 | ABC | DEF
2 | DEF | ABC
3 | ABC | GHI
4 | DEF | GHI
5 | GHI | DEF
*Please let me know if you have no idea what I'm trying to
explain.

Please be more clear. You say that 'ABC / GHI' should not be
returned,
and then you say that 'ABC / GHI' should be the only one
returned. Can't
have both...

Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word

Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
Thank you.

so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
<script type="text/javascript">
function CopyToClipboard()
CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
</script>
but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?

Is there an AppleScript or Automator Script that will wake a Mac from Sleep?

Is there an AppleScript or Automator Script that will wake a Mac from Sleep?

Frank and All,
The following answer to your question above is complicated, but I hope it explains why my question was formed with so much frustration in it.
I have an OpenOffice(OO) Macro that was launched with Calendar at 6pm each business night. It ran properly in all Apples operating systems until I Hit Maverick(OSX10.9). From then on, the AppleScript would run from one to 3 days, then would disappear from the Calendar entry. The Calendar alert would still run, but the "OpenFile" section of the alert would disappear. I also was running elgato EyeTV HD during the day, so I would use energy saver to put my MacBook Pro to sleep at 12 Midnight and wake it again at 9am. I picked up a used Mac Mini to do the EyeTV stuff, provide AppleTV the files in H264 format through iTunes' media share, and found it had plenty of power to do the 6pm automated stuff simultaneously as well. Because I still wanted to run the OpenOffice Macro on my MacBook Pro at 6pm, and wanted to use it for a host of other things when I was on the road, I wanted it to sleep most of the time and only wake up automatically to run the 6pm OO Macro. When I called Apple about the issue I was having with Maverick and Calendar loosing the OpenFile command as part of the Alert Message, they told me the no longer supported answering AppleScript Questions but they now would support Automator questions. I pointed out that the OpenFile would also fail after one to three days if I used a Calendar Alert to launch an Automator App. At first, I did not like Automator, but now I see why Apple is pushing us to use it. Automator adds a TIME STAMP ID to the Apps developed in Automator so the first time you launch the App after a change to it, you must reply to a dialog message saying that this is the first time you are running this version of the App. If a Scammer has replaced your app with one that can reek havoc on your computer, the replacement app will not run unless you are there to agree that you know where the modified app came from and click the OK button to continue (BRILLIANT, Enhanced Security idea on Apples part). I also noticed that after Mountain Lion, the Applescript delay timing was all screwed up as well. Well I tried to use LaunchD Task Scheduler to circumvent the Calendar Problem and that worked until I upgraded to Yosemite Last week. Then LaunchD no longer worked and I am only into a few days of using The Calendar Launched Automator App to see if it will continue to run.
But I think I solved the dilemma I was having with opening an Automator App in a Sleeping Mac. I Googled up the following question, "AppleScript to wake up computer". I went thru several complex responses until I found this on that is INCREDIBLE EASEY! What came back was a brettterpstra.com response from Feb 20th,2014. What it said, in a Quick Tip: caffeinated your Terminal Article, if you wanted to wake a Mac from sleep, use the Terminal command named "Caffeine -u -t 1". I placed it in an Automator Most Used Action called "Run Shell Script -- Caffeine -u -t 1" and it worked! Now, I can put my Mac to Sleep but at 6pm, the Automator App will launch, run the "Caffeine -u- -t 1" command and proceed to work as if I had awakened the Mac From Sleep mode by pressing a keyboard key and had run the Automator Script with a double click.
Sorry for the long, drawn-out reply, but maybe this will help others.

Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

Hi,
I have created a Subprocedure CreateEventList
which populates an EventsComboBox
with a current day's events (if any).
I need to store the events in a generic List communityEvents
which is a collection of
communityEvent
objects. This List needs to be created and assigned to the instance variable
communityEvents.
This method should call helper method ExtractData
which will use LINQ to extract the data from my file.
The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.
A LINQ
query that creates CommunityEvent
objects should select the events scheduled for selected
day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
communityEvents.
See code below.
Thanks,
public class CommunityEvent
private int day;
public int Day
get
return day;
set
day = value;
private string time;
public string Time
get
return time;
set
time = value;
private decimal price;
public decimal Price
get
return price;
set
price = value;
private string name;
public string Name
get
return name;
set
name = value;
private string description;
public string Description

return description;
set
description = value;
private void eventComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "4.30PM. Price 00.00. Take part in cleaning the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 2)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "1.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in selling goods.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 3)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "12.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in a game of rounders in the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 4)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "11.30PM. Price 15.00. Take part in an Egg & Spoon Race in the local Park";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 5)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "No Events today.";

Any help here would be great.
Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
on how to use Linq-2-XML.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
<copied>
LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
expressions, which are akin to
SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
arrays, enumerable
classes, XML documents,
relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers[2]
or
monadic parsers.[3]

Error in running Extract Definition Upload from Data File concurrent.

Hi all,
Am trying to upload the 834 Extract Layout from the data file by running the concurrent program, Extract Definition Upload from Data File.
After running this concurrent program am getting the Extract Layout definition with Record layout and Data elements within it.
But some record layouts has the changes at their repeating level in that.
Please suggest me how do i get the same repeating levels for the record layouts when i move the 834 benefit extract layout definition
from one instance to another instance.

Hi,
We have exactly the same error in IBolt. This error happens sometime and we don't find the reason.
IBolt has been upgraded to Version 3.1 SP1 and a fix has been developed by the support. After installation, we've work hardly during 2 days for testing all the flows by the customer without having this error.
Ibolt works as a service and when this error occurs, the service stopped and must be restarted.
In our flows, we have put a delete of the observer.dll file just before the rest of the flow but it doesn't solve the problem.
Deleting the directory can be temporarly a solution but the error come back another day.
Each time the SBO client or DTW is started, the %temp%\SMS_OBJ_DLL directory is created...
When you just delete the observer.dll file and leave the rest of the directory like it is, the file is re-created when you start and log to SBO. I would say that this file is a copy of another file observer_800178.dll (800178 depending of the version of SBO yoi have). 800178 corresponds to SBO 2007 A PL 42.
Do you have more information since your post has been send ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.
