Accessing txt file in executable vi

Hi,
I have built a user interface for a project im working on. The data entered by the user on the interface is saved in a text file upon closing of the program. This is currently working fine but when I create an executable of my code, data is not written to the txt file upon closing. Is there some special way to build these types of VIs,
The code for writing to the file is in a sub VI and i use the "Write to spreadsheet file" function, i pass in the reference of "C:\Documents and Settings\asha264\Desktop\Single Line\Single Line (9.0)\Data.txt".
Thanking You,
Adnan Sharief

Make sure that your means for signalling the other vi's to exit doesn't have an inadvertent race condition. Remember that LabVIEW is data flow language, that to make sure that certain events occur in a certain order that there is a signal dependecy to force the order of execution. I got bit by that recently when we used a functional global to signal all of the various programmatic loops in the various vi's when it was time to shut down. There was at least one place where, under certain conditions, the loop stop terminal was getting the signal before the "stuff" in the loop had executed. Putting an error in/out on the FG, then puting it in the error line after the functions (actually file writing) guaranteed that the file writes would occur before the "exit" condition was evaluated.

Accessing txt files in the App server from web application

Hi All,
We have a use case, where we need to access txt files from the ADF web application.
We will display to the user the path of the file and whenever he/she clicks, it should be downloaded automatically to the users machine.
Environments we need to develop: JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and Oracle App Server 10.1.3.1
And our server has credentials and only those who have access to the server can access the files.
Point me or suggest me a good solution to this use case.
Regards,
Naga.

Hi Joonas,
i was able to download the files, thanks a lot for your guidance. i will mark your answer as correct.
Can you let me know how to achieve the following usecase.
1. there will be multiple text files in the server i.e., out of our web application context like in some folder
2. And we need to give user a http link and if he clicks on the link that file should be downloaded automatically to his machine.
and we are using oracle app server 10.1.3.4, please point me to some document or example.
thank you.

Can't access .txt file in 2011 executable

In LabVIEW 2010 or 2011 I open a .txt file in a read file program that is one level below the main routine.
When I make an executable of the main routine it can't find the .txt file even when I put in the executable folder and at a directory level above.
Used to work in LabVIEW 8.0.
Thanks,

CDaoException ERROR (Error 340) when accessing txt file

Hello,
I'm trying to import data from a text file in BO XIR2 and get the following error :
CDaoException SCODE_CODE = 340 SCODE_FACILITY = 4 SCODE_SEVERITY = 1 ResultFromScode = 2147746132
I've seen a another for an older version of BO suggesting to re-install microsoft data access but these software is already part of windows XP (it does not let me install any previous version).
All suggestion is welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Osm,
Also,could you please test the following solutions:
Resolution 1
1. Make sure the following DLLs are present on the computer:
- In path "files\common files\microsoft shared\dao": dao350.dll
- In path "winnt\ system32": ExpSrv.dll, MSExcl35.dll, MSJet35.dll, MSJInt35.dll, MSJtEr35.dll, MSRepl35.dll, MSRD2x35.dll, VBAJet32.dll, msexch35.dll, and MStext35.dll
Copy the missing DLLs or older DLLs from a computer that does not have this issue.
Resolution 2
Follow these steps to reinstall the Data Access Pack:
1. On the BusinessObjects version Disk 1, go to "\Vol1\Microsoft\Dataac\".
2. Run Dataac.exe.
3. Select Data Access Pack, and install. A message will appear asking if you want to be prompted if newer DLLs exist on the system. Do not check the box; close out of the window. BusinessObjects will not overwrite any newer DLLs; it will only add the required files into the system.
Resolution 3
Install the Microsoft Data Access Pack located at the following URL:

Txt file problem

Hi all :
would you mind tell me how to access txt file,but
txt like as Database format as following:
Name Ago tele
A 12 123456
B 13 123445
C 14 12334213
In this TXT file , I want to get Record 1 field 2
What method can I use that?
Thank you

Here's the tutorial on streams:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
That's how you read it in, then you can use StreamTokenizer to parse out whatever you want. If you're having trouble getting all that to work, search this forum and the New to Java forum for tons of information, and if that doesn't help, post the code you have and someone will be glad to help.

Execute commands/statements in txt file supplied to plsql procedure

Hi,
I need to execute commands which are in txt file , this txt filepath is supplied to the procedure.
In the procedure i want to open the txt file and read the commands and run the commands.
Please help on this .
Edited by: 904032 on Jun 26, 2012 12:02 AM

The fact that you are supplying a file path (more correctly known as a directory) is going to be your first problem. Security within Oracle means that access to files on the file server require a directory object to be specified and these directory objects refer to a specific directory on the file server. If you're going to be passing different directories into your procedure then you're going to have to have different directory objects set up for all the possible directories that can be accessed (or issue dynamic DDL to redefine a known directory object each time).
Once you've done that you can use the UTL_FILE package (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/u_file.htm#ARPLS70906) to read the contents of the file as lines.
Then it depends what you mean by "commands" and "statements". Are you referring to operating system commands?... If so you will need to use something like the DBMS_SCHEDULER package to issue a job to run immediately with the appropriate command, as that is able to issue operating system commands, or you are going to have to write some Java code to issue commands for you (plenty of examples if you google). OR, perhaps you are referring to SQL statements? These could possibly be issued using the PL/SQL execute immediate statement, but you will be leaving your database open to SQL injection and major security issues, something that most companies would consider a serious flaw and not want.
how to read string which is delimited by ';'. or how read each charater in a file ..About time you read the documentation (http://tahiti.oracle.com/). There are functions: SUBSTR and INSTR which can search for things in strings and extract parts of strings, or you can use the more advanced regular expression versions of those REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_INSTR, or even REGEXP_REPLACE (which is also good for extracting parts of strings).

Server 2012 R2 SMB - The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

Hi,
We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes.
I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles.
To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
The code:
string file =
@"\\server\share\test.txt";
if (File.Exists(file))
File.Copy(file, file +
".bak", true);
File.WriteAllText(file,
"Testje",
Encoding.UTF8);
The error:
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

Hi,
There is someone else having the same issue with yours. You could try code in the article below:

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process with Execute package task

Hi,
I've a master package that calls other packages with an Execute Package Task. Sometimes we have an error: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and sometimes not. It seems random.
We are working on a Terminal Server and the SQL Server database engine and the files are placed on another server. It seems that the errors doesn't occu when we run the packages on the server with a job. We can't log onto the windows server on this machine..

I've seen this myself. On most occasions an immediate rerun would fix the issue. As stated this happens only when we try to run this from BIDs. From SQL agent job it always runs fine.

Report with Access Database or TXT file

Dear All,
I was wondering if someone can help me with the following issue.
We have created a Crystal Reports XI report which has a Access MDB or Plain Text file as source data (2 different reports; one with MDB connection only and the other one with a Lotus Notes ODBC connection and TXT file).
The report runs correctly locally and it also runs correctly on the server but as soon as I post the report via the repository folder to the server, it does not work anymore.
Viewing the report via InfoView gives me a password request while both, the MDB and TXT file are not password protected.
We have tried to make system DSN and file DSN connections to both the MDB and TXT file but also this ends with a password request which is not defined.
Did anyone came across this as well? Any idea about a solution?
Thank you in advance,
Annique.

Hi Annique,
Since this works in CR Designer I'm moving your post to the Business Objects forum.
It's likely due to BOE servers not having access to the data sources. Make sure you put them in a folder that the WEB server and BOE Servers have access to. To prompt for log on is because we can't find the data files.
Thank you

Security restrictions , how to read access a txt file supplied in a jar

but I do not know how to give my web application permission to access a file
when I set security permission to all, then error says the application cannot load because the code require unrestricted acess to system resources and is unsigned, I don't know how to get that certificate and I am only doing it for learning purposes.
when I remove security permissions then it says

Another few things I noted when I looked at it.
1) There is a stray thread going after the JOptionPane is dismissed. The VM does not end, and the console (if you have it configured to pop-up for JWS apps.) stays on-screen.
2) If all the jokes are prefixed by '* ' I would recommend removing it from every line of the source file and either re-adding it at runtime, or (preferably) not adding it at all (since it is redundant).
3) Reconfigure the app. into a loop, and offer the user a JOptionPane with "Another Joke"/"End" instead of "OK".
4) You can always remove that debugging line I inserted in the code to show the path to the Jar - it was just intended as a 'sanity check' during testing.
5) Why is it Java 1.6+? JOptionPane was introduced in Java 1.2 with the first Swing implementations, and the I/O is compatible with Java 1.1.

* After all - checks the title - we have gotten entirely around those 'security restrictions' in a sandboxed application. The reason being that File objects are rarely the correct choice, for applets or JWS apps.

Deny access from deleting *.txt file?

HI all,
I have created a *.txt file from xcode with objective c using NSFileManager.Also i gave permission to this file like below,
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedLong:0000u] forkey : NSFilePosixPermissions];
so that there is no read/write permissions.This is working fine too.
Apart from above,i want to deny users from deleting this file..How can i mention this in objective c.?Please help..
Thanks

I'd like to know if it exist a "call function" or another way to execute an Abap program which is written within a ".txt" file.
1. I'd like to write an Abap program into a ".txt" file
2. Create an Abap program which will read the ".txt" file (& upload it into an internal table for example) & execute this Abap code.
Is it possible?

How do I access a .txt file in Xcode for an OSX command line tool?

I'm in school learning C and C++, and we have to read from and write to .txt files regularly. But I can't figure out how to open a .txt file in Xcode.
if FILE *buffer = fopen(filename,"r"); where filename is a pointer to a char array holding the name of the file, it works perfectly fine in the terminal. It compiles, in both Xcode and GCC, but when I try to actually open the file in Xcode, my program can never find it and quits the application (so it doesn't crash).
Long story short, what do I have to do to get my programs in Xcode to read from a .txt file?
I tried putting a copy of input.txt in every folder within the project, including it in the source files, adding it to target (which I don't wholly understand), I don't know what to do.

Make sure the filename has an absolute path. If the path is relative it will point to a different location depending on where you run the program from.
When you run it from within Xcode itself the binary is buried way inside the project hierarchy (you can see where it is by selecting the program in the Products folder and doing a Show in Finder).
The safest bet is to always specify a specific directory for any writes you do.
regards
As an example for this program in Xcode (assumoing you will be able to see the images)
The binary is located here
