Adding word into a list from a external file

Hello,
I am making a boggle- like game that utilizes an external wordlist to check to see if a user's word is actually a word.
How should I best check to see this? Currently I import the external file into a linkedlist at the beginning of the program-- but this takes a ridiculous amount of time. Is there any more effective way?
Thank you,
Evan.

Which one "takes a ridiculous amount of time"? Reading the list or finding a word?
If you have a large list of words, reading them from a file takes as much time as it takes to read it and store the words. You might wanna use a buffered reader. As we cannot guess your code, there is no way to see, if anything extreme slowing is going on there.
If finding words takes long, well, scanning a linked list each time to find a word might take some time. Use a HashSet instead. If your number of words is to big for your memory and will be swapped out very often, think about indexing and split files. Again, as we cannot guess your code, it's difficult to tell what is eating up time.

There is not a built-in method for this unfortunately, but you can use JavaScript to help out. Specifically the setItems field method.

Reading parameters lists from a text file

Hi All,
Using CR XI R2 with VB6 and external .rpt files - - - - -
In a VB6 app I use VB to loop through my tables to create dynamic parameter lists (CR XI is limited to the number of parameters it can create from the table). This works well but each time the user refreshes the report the same code is run to re-create the parameter list which is redundant and slows down the report(s).
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Thanks in advance!

I find this sentence confusing:
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Typically, runtime means on the fly - I think...
So, I'm not sure if you are trying to read a saved data report and filter that saved data so that you do not have to hit the database(?).
Creating a text file is beyond the support of this forum, though that should be a trivial exercise. Reading a text file and passing the results to a parameter is the same thing you are doing already, so I'm not sure where the hang up would be here(?)
Or - rather than creating a text file, why not create a temp table and query it as you do when you loop through the tables to create dynamic parameter lists(?).
I'm pretty lost here...

Read one word at a time from a text file

I want to read one word at a time from a text file as it is done by "scanf &s" function in text based programme. It is not possible by " read from text" function. Suggest me function or method to solve this.

The simplest way is to use the spreadsheet string to array function with the space character as the delimiter.
Note that this won't work unless there is a space character between the words - it won't work with line feeds / carriage returns between the words but you could always split the string into lines first. You may also want to trim whitespace to remove any other non-visible characters (e.g. tab, line feeds) from around the word.
If you need something more sophisticated that splits based on whitespace (e.g. tab, new line) then you'll probably need to do something with searching the string for these characters (e.g. using a regular expression) and then splitting them yourself into an array.
Of course...if you actually want to just read one word at a time from the file rather than just split the file into words (I assumed you meant this), you will need to read the file byte by byte using the low level file IO functions, build a buffer of the bytes and check the character you've read to see if it a space.

Syntax error while loading hierarchy from an external file

Dear Expert:
I am new to BW and I met a problem today while loading hierarchy from an external file. Actually I am following below article to load the hierarchy:
/people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files
When I schedule the infopackage, the error message says: "Syntax error in template RSTMPL9C, ROW 76". Actually there is only around 20 lines of records.
Since I am not familiar with hierarchy load, so:
1. while loading from external file, do I need to create one hierarchy in advance through "Maintain Hierarchies" in the infoobject? My understanding is since I can load that hierarchy from file, so I do not need to create one in advance, once the load completed, the hierarchy should automatically generated there. Is my understanding correct?
2. Before loading the hierarchy, do I need to load the master data of external characteristics in the hierarchy first? Here in my example, the sales hierarchy has 2 external characteritics (Country and region) in the hierarchy. Do I need to load some data first?
3. My 'Preview' function in the infopackage is gray so that I can not test the data loading. Why is it gray?
Information like file name, file dir, file type(csv), seperator should be correct there.
Can anybody help me take a look into that? Many thanks for your time in advance!
Tim

Hi ctsiszidane:
There are some other SAP Notes that can help you solve the problem. Depending on your Support Package level check which of them is applicable.
Note 659461 - RSAR 682: Syntax error in template RSTMPL9A, row 246
Note 605690 - Escape characters are not processed correctly
Note 620152 - Syntax error in RSTMPL9A during data loading from a file

Problems deleting a string from an external file.

hi!
I am working on a program but am having problems deleting a string of information from an external file. The code I have managed to do only seems to be deleting the surname. The rest of the string remains and the Surname from the string bellow the one that should have been deleted moves to where the surname that was just deleated was.
this is the code snippet that should be deleting the string:
          System.out.print("Please enter the last name of the contact: ");
          last_name = dataInput.next();
          int z = 0;
          for (int i=0; i < number_of_records; i++)
                    if ((last_name.compareTo(lastName)) < i && (last_name.compareTo(lastName[i]) > i))
                              z = i;
          for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
                    lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
Anyone got any ideas why its not deleting the whole string?
the extrenal file is set out like:
surname,,first name,,phone number

I don't think you have given enough information to answer this question completely; however, here is my guess:
The code that appears to be doing the "deleting"
for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
    lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
}is only acting upon the lastName array.

How to input data into an arraylist from a text file?

I am trying to take data from a text file and put that data into an arraylist. First here is the text file:
[item1, 10, 125.0, item2, 10, 12.0, item3, 20, 158.0]
3
4530.0
[item5, 65, 555.5, item4, 29, 689.0]
2
56088.5
[item7, 84, 34.5, item6, 103, 0.5, item8, 85, 1.36]
3
3065.1The text between the [ ] is the output from my arraylists. I have three arraylists. The first [ ] belongs to arraylist A, the second to arraylist B, and the third to arraylist C. The format of the arraylists is this:
<item name>,<# in stock>,<value of one item>
The first number below the arraylists in the text file represents the number of items in the list. The second number below the arraylists represents the total value of the items in the arraylists.
Here is the class file I have (yes, it does everything):

Populating dropdown list from an XML file

Hi!
I want to prepopulate a dropdown list in a form from an XML file.
Typically something like:
A
B
C
Is this the correct way to specify the list's values in XML?
How do I specify the binding property of my dropdown list, to put the values A, B and C into the dropdown list?
I am using Designer 7.0!
Thanks!

Liana,
   You can't do this with Designer 7.0. If you upgrade to Designer 7.1,
you can bind dropdown list values to your xml data using the dynamic
property binding capabilities.
Hope this helps!

Create a list from an XML file no display

I have a multiline Dynamic text box called projList.
I am trying to populate it from an xml file and create a
clickable list.
The trace works but cannot get to display the list in the
text box.
As far as the clickable goes, haven't gotten that far yet.
Help very much appreciated.
The xml is structured like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <images>
- <pic>
<Image>/Butler/Images/sfah2_small.jpg</Image>
<Category>Institutional</Category>
<Proj_title>FRESH AIR HOME</Proj_title>
Please see code below:
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
var allproj_xml:XML = new XML();
allproj_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
allproj_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
trace("onload...");
if (success) {
trace("success...");
var thePath_str:String = "/images/pic/Proj_title";
var title_array:Array =
XPathAPI.selectNodeList(this.firstChild,
thePath_str);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < title_array.length; i++) {
trace(title_array
.firstChild.nodeValue);
projList.addItem(title_array.attributes.Proj_title);
} else {
trace("error loading XML");
allproj_xml.load("allimages.xml");
stop();

This did it:
projList.addItem(title_array
.firstChild.nodeValue);

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<House>+
+<Warehouse>+
+<WarehouseId>1</WarehouseId>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;

Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

Hi again,
Thanks for keeping the post open for me. I've had a look at the post illustrating the XFileHandler package, and tried to alter it to make it fit with my XML files. To help explain things, my XML file looks like this:

</House>And the XFilehandler package looks like this (I'm just trying to do a simple select only on WarehouseId & WaterAccess for the time being to keep things simple):
create or replace package XFileHandler as
TYPE TRECORD IS RECORD (
    WID     NUMBER(2)
, WACCESS VARCHAR2(5)
type TRecordTable is table of TRecord;
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2) return TRecordTable pipelined;
end;
create or replace package body XFileHandler is
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2)
   return TRecordTable pipelined
is
    nb_rec          number := 1;
    tmp_xml        clob;
    tmp_file         clob;
    rec               TRecord;
begin
    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(TMP_FILE, TRUE);
    tmp_file := dbms_xslprocessor.read2clob(p_directory, p_filename);
    LOOP
      tmp_xml := regexp_substr(tmp_file, '<\?xml[^?]+\?>\s*<([^>]+)>.*?</\1>', 1, nb_rec, 'n');
      exit when length(tmp_xml) = 0;
      --dbms_output.put_line(tmp_rec);
      nb_rec := nb_rec + 1;
    select y.WID, y.WACCESS
    into rec.WID, rec.WACCESS
    from xmltable('/House' passing xmltype(tmp_xml)
                  columns WID NUMBER(2) PATH 'Warehouse/WarehouseId',
                              WACCESS VARCHAR2(5) PATH 'WaterAccess') y;
      pipe row ( rec );
    end loop;
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(tmp_file);
    return;
end;
end;Now, when I run the query:
select * from table(XFileHandler.getRows('XML_DIR', 'XFileHandler_test.xml'));I get the error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17285], [0x5CFE8DC8], [4], [0x45ABE1C8], [], [], [], []
I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,
Shaun.

How to read multiple lines from an external file to the Oracle data base

Hi Guys,
I have an external file which contains multiple lines and I want to read it to the data base .I have done it for the file if it contains one line.
Please guide me how to retrieve all the lines into the data base.And also tell me how Oracle will come to know the end of the line in the file

How do I move my music list from one external to another?

As per my post a couple of minutes ago, I do not want to run the risk of Itunes deleting all my Ipod files again.
I have put all my files onto an external hard drive. I was up until 4am this morning removing duplications in the music list. I never want to do that again.
Here is what I would like to do: the external HD is labeled as drive E under "preferences"; it is a drive that requires ac. I have copied all the files to a USB 60 gig drive. The USB drive shows up as drive F so Itunes would not be able to find the files. The last time that happened (i.e., 2 days ago), it erased all my Ipod files.
How can I make Itunes find all the files on the USB drive? If I can get that to happen I can always have the files with me.
Thanks for help,
Chuck

Note: Canned response, so may not specifically address your questions, but may be enough for you to figure out what you want to do...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

Can I use my Intel-based MacBook to boot into Windows 7 from an external HDD?

Okay, so I need to use Windows for some simple applications. Problem is, I don't have a Windows desktop anymore and while I have both Windows and Linux partitions along with Mountain Lion on my installed hard drive, I'm probably going to wipe said drive and just use the entire partition for Mountain Lion. That said, I'd like to use an extra hard drive I have lying around to boot Windows.
My questions are:
1. Does my MacBook support USB boot to Windows?
2. If my laptop does support this, can someone point me to a set of good reliable instructions to install Windows onto the external hard drive and boot into it by USB?
Thank you; have a blessed day!

You seem to have a triple boot system that was done using the 10.6 installer disk and a copy of rEFIt.
I know because I had the same thing once.
I can tell you what will happen if you decide to upgrade 10.7 or 10.8
1: The EFI and GUID is going to change, rEFIt hasn't been updated in ages since 10.7 started rolling out back in about June 2011. There will be adverse effects with rEFIt so I hear.
2: The 10.8 upgrader is going to barf at your triple boot system, it will upgrade the 10.6 partition but warn you that the 10.8 RecoveryHD partition (10.7 and 10.8 both install) that it normally installs at the very bottom of the drive will not be installed and you can't enable Filevault.
Intel Mac's can have only 4 bootable partitions on the drive, the 10.7+ installer is normally dealing with EFI, MacintoshHD, BOOTCAMP, RecoveryHD. It barfs at anything else it doesn't understand and will not install RecoveryHD partition, which on a non-Internet Recovery capable hardware is required to reinstall the currently upgraded OS X operating system version. But you can always go back to the 10.6 disks and wipe and restore that way or via 10.6 USB boot key.
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
So with 10.7+ you'll have to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner for the OS X partition.
So since rEFIt is going to be hosed, so will your ability to use the EFI based program to boot into the three operating systems at boot time.
I assume you found this out and why you want to dump Windows on a external drive. However Apple's EFI doesn't recognize Linux as a boot option.
There is a rEFIt fork that will allow Linux to boot on a Mac: http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html
Windows as you now know can't be booted off a external drive, however if your use of it is minor, you may want to consider using a virtual machine to run it in OS X or Linux instead using the free VirtualBox.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
You should Carbon Copy Cloner the OS X 10.6 partition to a external GUID OS X Extended J (JHFS+) drive.
You can use WinClone 3 in OS X to clone the Windows partition to a external drive, but it's a backup only, no booting capability. Restoring it will boot on the internal drive of course.
Linux you should already know how to clone it to a external drive using dd.
I advise you use the 10.6 install disks to set up your new partition scheme, but your going to have to uninstall rEFIt and return the machine and firmware back to basic Apple factory system as possible before doing anything.
EFI doesn't get erased, it resides in NVRAM and the EFI partition, controls the at boot key commands to boot off OS X install disks, so it's important to uninstall rEFIt completely before upgrading OS X.
If the Windows version your using is XP, to install that first using BootCamp in a fresh 10.6 install and reverse clone using WinClone before upgrading to 10.7 or above. It will be grandfathered in, but can't be reinstalled later.
