Accented Characters Support for External Text Files

Hi there! I created a site which imports external text from a
TXT file. The text is in Spanish, so I need accented vowels and
Ñs. I've tried using simple text and HTML text... but when I
run my movie, it doesn't show these international characters.
Instead, I get some weird symbols or question marks... What should
I do? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Try this link it may have what your looking for it worked for
me!

Add one character at a time from External Text file

Hi,
I'm using Flash 8, and I have created a standard Dynamic
field that pulls the text from an external text file using the
LoadVars function and it works fine.
To get the correct effect for the design, I would like to be
able to create the illusion that the characters are being typed out
when the page loads as if someone has started typing and also hear
the "Typewriter Clack" each time a character appears.
The only place I have found an example is on the Syphon
Filter Game website which seems to have created the illusion
perfectly:
http://www.syphonfilterdarkmirror-thegame.com/en_IE/
(Check out the bottom right section)
I could create a Movieclip and add a character each frame
but, I would like to be able to edit the text when required via a
text file or even ASP or PHP if neccessary.
Any help would be grateful.
Cheers

How to load external text file into a Form?

Hi,
I made a menu with 1-5 in a Form and 5 external text files. I want the user who is able to view the text content of the text file when he chooses one of them from the menu. And the text file screen has a "Back" command button to let him go back.
How can I do it and can it support other languages such as Chinese and Japanese?
Thanks for help.

Sorry, I made the mistake about the subject, it should be loading local file, not external file through http.
I wrote a method but it throwed an exception when the midlet was run.
private void loadText()
try {
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/text.txt");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int chr;
while ((chr = is.read()) != -1)
sb.append((char) chr);
is.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error occurs while reading file");
I put the text.txt file in the same folder with the main file (extends midlet). How can I load the text content and display it on StringItem?
Thanks for any help.

Find Change through external text file

Hello folks
I am bit pretty in InDesign scripting so could you please look into this.
How can i change any particular text field in Indesign CS3 document from text file.
I do have find change script but for each InDesign document specific text file is assigned.
So each time i have to modify find change GREP property that is also repetetive of work. Is there any way to get find change information should be extract from external text file.
Many Tanks in advance

In the FindChangeByList script, you could customize the function myFindFile(myFilePath) {...} as to search the FindChangeList text file in the document location rather than the script location. That's an example. The question is: given a document, where will you have the corresponding FindChangeList?

Appending an external text file

Hi everyone. I need a little help. I'm trying to append an external text file. I'm able to read it using the "in.readLine()" and "BufferedReader" commands but can't figure how to append it. The reason being is I'm trying to add new information to each new line. For example my ext. text file looks something like this:
Homer Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Marge Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Bart Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Please note that I'm not using a string tokenizer to read the text file. If someone could please give me an example to append information to each new line I would greatly appreciate it. Also please note that the text file is being read into a vector to hold the information. Thank you.

open the FileWriter or FileOutputStream you use in "append" mode..
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html
FileOutputStream(String name, boolean append)
          Creates an output file stream to write to the file
          with the specified name.http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/FileWriter.html
FileWriter(String fileName, boolean append)
          Constructs a FileWriter object given a file name
          with a boolean indicating whether or not to append
          the data written.

Is there support for animated .gif files?

Is there support for animated gif files using
form builder? I can't get it to work.
Thanks
Sean
I am using forms 6.0

She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
Thanks,
Sean

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

Does OS 9 have built in support for external Iomega Zip drives?

Hi,
Does OS 9.x have built-in support for external SCSI Iomega Zip drives?

Yeah, you are correct, but Iomega's drivers & APPs were one really destabilizing factor for OS9, as well as ruining a few ZIP Disks with that Death Head crash, and being a nuisance. Intech's drivers gave twice the R&W speed, never failed, never crashed, could Format & Partition them... also worked for MOs, JAZZ, SyJets, other Syquests from 44MB to 550MB, and any other drive regardless of IDE, SCSI, FW, USB.

Reading an external text file in WAR file

Greetings,
I have a question. I have an web application that writes a text message and 0's and 1's based on checkboxes. Then I have a JSP that reads this text file and prints the message and enables/disables links based on the 1's and 0's. I don't have any problems with this when testing from localhost, but when I deploy to a server the application isn't reading the file. The text file and WAR file are in the same folder, same directory. I've tried using both relative and absolute paths to read the file, but to no avail. Is there an easy way to read an external file from a WAR file or is there an easier solution. Thanks
Nick

You should not try to force your text file to live in the same directory as the WAR file. Instead, you should remove that kind of dependency and instead be using something like System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") to use the temporary directory to create and delete these files.
Edit: I also bet you don't even need to create & read a file here. You could probably store the information in one of the contexts of the web app, such as in a Session. I'll assume you know what that means.
By creating a file, you are also running the risk of multiple threads (simultaneous users) vying for the same file name, thus walking on each other's data.

Scroll bar with external text file

Hello all,
I need to make a flash movie with a graphic background with
text from an external file.
Ideally:
1) The text file would NOT have to be imported into the flash
movie. It would simply be in the same web folder as the flash file.
2) Even better the text file would have a separate css file
so I can change font size etc, while I tweak the movie, and get
client approval.
If 1 and 2 are not possible, then I can live with importing
the text file. But CSS would sure be a nice addition!
BTW I have Flaxh MX Professional 2004.
Thanks
Rowby

Hey, I had to do a VERY similar thing for a student project a
few months ago. If you go to
Flashkit.com, you can find
tutorials on how to import XML and CSS or XSL. I was able to do it
and I don't know a lot of actionscript. If you want to see how I
used it, go to
the University of Scranton's MIT
website.
Hope that helps!

Handling external text files

Hi experts!
Would you give me some advice to find the best way for handling the situation below?
Suppose I have a measuring system with 100 sensors. The measuring system can provide the measured values (with timestamp) through a simple text file (large amount of datas - one measuring session gives ~25,000 rows. The next session generates a new file: eg. data0001.csv, data0002.csv...).
Suppose, this file will be deposit:
A) somewhere on the db server (10g);
B) somewhere on the data collector PC.
The task is a data visualization on the datas already inserted into db table with Oracle ApEx. A package has to perform the observation of the new data files, the data insertion (and the visualization of course, but that I can manage).
Would you be so kind to help finding the shortest way for this?
What is the best practice (external table, sql*loader, utl_file...) for case A) and B), to create a "new data file listener" and "new data insertion" method?
Thanks, ML

Would you be so kind to help finding the shortest way for this?Not sure what you define as the "+shortest+" way - but the best way would be not to write to files, but to write the sensor data directly into the database.
The reasons are performance and scalability. One of the slowest operation we always had and still have on computer systems is I/O.
Let's say you need to process 6GB of sensor data per hour. Thus you will have 6GB worth of I/O per hour. This data then needs to be read (another 6GB I/O) and loaded (another 6GB written) into Oracle - where it is also indexed (more I/O) and processed (likely you will have reporting tables or materialised views for your Apex reports - and this also needs I/O).
Simply getting the data into the database using this method is 18+ GB I/O for 6 GB data. How well does this solution perform and how well does it scale when it has an I/O to data ratio of 3:1?
Thus the better option is to write that 6GB/hour of sensor data directly into the database. And not to go the write-to-file and then load-from-file approach. A single client process (collecting sensor data) can easily write over 1MB/sec (2000+ rows/sec) into the database (based on my experience doing a similar type of thing). Of course - table type, indexes, triggers and so on impacts insert performance.
The advantage of streaming the data directly into Oracle is, besides the reduction in total I/O, that the sensor data is almost immediately available for reporting and processing. Depending on the row/sec created, you may want to have the client commit every 10 to 60 seconds. Immediately after such a commit the database processes can access this data - process it for alarm notification, real-time reporting, aggregate it for a reporting data layer and so on.
Doing this via text files instead.. I do not see any advantage in it. The best place for data is inside the database. Not outside. The sooner and faster the data can be put into the database, the better.

Support for Office 2007 files (especially docx) ?

Hi,
can you please give me a hint if it's possible to use ora-text with the current office 2007 file formats ?
I need to have support for word 2007 (docx) format very soon
Is it already available ?
If not, is there a plan to support those formats ?
Thank you

Hi,
the workaround descrived above would also work for your plsql app. Therefore you can use the PL/SQL XSLT Processor in order to extract the content needed from the office 2007 documents. See DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.
What is your business case? How do you store and index your documents?
p.s Here is an example of an xslt to extract the text content from an docx document. The internal structure of docx document is based on the Open Packaging Conventions (see http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/OPC_parts.aspx )

SSIS best practice on importing External text files

Hi -
I am a fairly seasoned SSIS/ETL developer and I am struggling with the best architecure on how to import vendor files into a shared database. I see there being 2 methods with in importing files, and I'm really wanting input from senior
level SSIS developers on their thoughts of importing vendor files, I see there being 2 methods:
- Set up the ETL to match the format of the file, and if the format is invalid, the entire ETL is unable to process the file, various error handling will be set up to log that the file import failed, but at this point, the ETL can no longer continue
- Set up the ETL to just take a text file, NOT looking at the format within the file, bring all of the data into ONE column, and then parse through the data, using the given file delimter and log any issues at that point
I have done both methods and I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Hopefully I explained that well enough. Can anyone give me their thoughts, suggestions, experience, etc. on these 2 approaches of importing a file? Any input
is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jenna G

It depends on how much control you've on the source end. If you can ,best thing always would be to prefix the metadata and create your package based on that. Any violation should be flagged as an error and reported back for correction with row/column details
etc.
If you've no way to fix the source, then only go for single column approach. But this can still prove to be a nightmare if the source format keeps on changing. Giving that flexibility to users can prove to be costly sometimes and you may have to spend quite
a bit of time trying to fix inconsistencies in the source.
So in my opinion best would be the former approach. Only thing is the format (matadata) has to be fixed only after sufficient discussions with all involved and exception handling also has to be agreed upon.

No support for avi video files in symbian belle

well, the os is super impressive and the video player too.. But there is a problem while playing avi files. There is no preinstalled support for this type of file. While mp4 works fine without any problems. (i'm talking about nokia 600,603,700,701,n8,,etc)

Yeah, there are some issues for some codecs. But you should be fine for aac/xvid files. I can run them without any problem. Also i can run .mkv files.
