Advanced file manipulation - *.sdf

I am wondering if anyone else has attempted to tackle Hewlett-Packard's
preferred Standard Data Format (.sdf) files with Labview?
I am working an application right now that requires HP instrumentation. I
would like to use Labview to batch process the data files. HP's software is
severly lacking in that it only handles 1 file at a time, and it is msdos
based at that. HP has no intention of writing .dlls for win95, 98 or NT
interface.
The file structure is extensive, with more header fields than data. A lot
of the header info is useless.
If anyone has any ideas, I would most certainly appreciate it.
Thanx

i have the same problem, viewdata is a soft solution, if you have a solution, please report me, i am searching a solution, when i get it i put it in the group.

File Manipulation (ala Windoze Explorer)

I have had to use Windows and Dos for years due to applications not being available in the MAC environment. Then a few years I bought a Mini and have not regretted the move since. EXCEPT when I want to do some serious file manipulations. From my limited MAC experience I cannot easily perform tasks in OSX that are simple and routine in Windows.
Example: I like to "search" for all files of a type, say "*.M4V", then I like to copy them to a DVD and then delete the originals on the hard drive. This frees up space and gives me easy access of files of a similar type. Movie, music, graphics and similar large files that I might not access often do not need to be stored on the computer.
When I use the "Spotlight" tool, it will show me any occurrence of the search term (not just as an extension like I would prefer) and I cannot do any "group" file manipulations, i.e. copy to a burn folder then after I verify that the files are "good" on the DVD/CD, I would like to then delete the same files as a group.
In Windows I highlight, right click, copy, I then open the destination folder, right click and paste. Or if I want to see how much space I am using in these particular files, I right click, select "Properties" and I know if I need a CD or a DVD to store the selected files.
To delete the "backed up files" I can click on the Search Window, the selected files are still highlighted and I right click, select "Delete" and Boom bada bing, they are gone. I can do all of that in a few simple clicks in Win(ugh)doze, how do I do that in OSX, doesn't MAC make thinks simple and intuitive?
Any help will be appreciated here, I would think mimicking a Windows feature would be simple. Thanks in advance.

Hmm - maybe I am missing something, but I can do all those things in just about the same way. Using Finder > Find…, I can do a search for a file extension, in addition to any other criteria I come up with (including a raw metadata query) - note that the extension does not contain the period, that is just a separator. If I plan on doing similar searches in the future, the search query parameters can be saved so that I don't have to enter them again. I can then create a burn folder on the desktop and drag whatever items from the search window to it, and a Get Info on the burn folder will show what the content size of the burn will be. Right-clicking on the selected items and selecting Move to Trash deletes them, the same as any other Finder item - there is no file copy/paste in the Mac OS, though (never has been as far as I can remember).

Advanced File Functions

Hello all,
I have a subVI that deletes 5 files which should always be present on my desktop due to a run before. However, I have to put in a fail-safe that skips the delete process if the files are for some reason missing.
Attached is the simple file path constant and Delete file directory process that I currently use.
Is there any way I can utilize any of the other Advanced File Functions with a Case Structure and other Boolean Functions that can detect whether or not the files are there and then delete them if they are, or just skip the delete process if the files are not there.
Thanks

Delete Files.vi ‏16 KB

The Delete VI will skip the process on its own. The simplest thing to do is to call it and ignore the error (for example by using the Clear Errors VI). Just make sure not to wire an error into it if you do this, because you will then clear that error.
As for some other tips regarding this VIs -
Using constant paths is often a bad thing, especially if your are going to build the code into an executable and\or move it to another computer. Getting the path to the desktop is done in Windows through a special function which you can call by using the Call Library Function node, or you can hold the base path in a global.
I suggest that unless absolutely necessary, you should not save your files to the desktop, but to another folder.
You should create error in and out terminals, so that you can control when the VI runs.
Giving it a less generic name is also a good idea, because LV can not hold 2 VIs with the same name in memory.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Itunes seems to be unable to locate original file to play songs. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from file. Preferences/advance file location is correct. Some files are playing and others aren't with no obvious pattern.

Itunes is unable to locate original file when attempting to play music. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from there. Preferences/Advanced file location pointer is correct. Some songs play but most don't. I did move files around a bit in an attempt to share music with another account on same computor, however this did not work so have returned file to original location. Please help, I am way outside my feild in this one. Ta.

I have solved the problem. i think when I moved the media file back out of public to my account, I put it back into the wrong place and ended up with a media file inside a media file, inside another media file!! So I moved it again and fixed!! Now I just need to work out why i can't share with another account user of same computor.

File manipulation in JavFX

How to perform file manipulations in JavaFX ?

Future reference, java doc can easily found by doing a google search of java api.
Here is a link to 6:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/]
Also, you need to learn some java basics these are all java basic questions...
Simple code in pure java not javafx:
FileReader inReader=new FileReader("myfile.ext"); // Note you could use a file object or a string here
FileReader bufReader=new BufferedReader(myInput); // Taking my input stream into another input stream
char c=bufReader.read(); // I read the first character of the file
String line=bufReader.readLine(); // I read the first line of the file ended by a \r or \n (carriage return or line feed) Note skips first character because of the read() above.
char [] section=new char [100];
bufReader.read(section, 10, 40); // I just but into a char [] starting at the 10 value in the array and reading to 40 characters into the array. Basically 10-39 of the 100 array has the next 40 characters in it starting at second line of stream.Also other things to move back into the stream read javadoc there are plenter of other readers/writers and input/output streams. What is the difference between a reader/writer and input/output stream? You shouldn't care. Above when I said stream I meant reader though.
Note you need a writer or output stream to write to a file and a reader or input stream to read from a file. The mention above of the array route [] probably won't work in javafx since it doesn't support arrays it uses sequences instead so I'd avoid that method in a javafx script class.
Good luck and read some java basics or take some java basics tutorial plenty things out there covering this as well as google could have easily told you all of the above.

File Manipulation in an EJB

I am trying to write an application that needs to do some manipulation of files. I thought about using an EJB and T3File, but it has been deprecated. The documentation suggests: "BEA recommends that you develop a customized, stateless EJB to service these requests." Now since java.io is not recommended for use in an EJB, what else do I use? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Found a solution.
Talked to my BEA technical rep. He recommended using a file event generator with
WebLogic Integration. I'm proceeding along that line.

Advanced file browsing capabilities

I would like the Finder to improve on the way it can use extended attributes...
Currently, we can edit a property named "Spotlight Comments", which in reality is "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment".
In list mode we can make a column appear, with the values of those comments.
Basic functionality missing: in list mode, we can edit the file name, but we cannot edit the comments.
Advanced functionality missing: I would like to add user-defined columns. For example, when typing ⌘-J to have the options, the popup window could propose to create a new column, and store the value of column Toto in the extended attribute "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderToto" (or use the OpenMeta framework).
Additional functionality: export to / import from csv of all these fields.
I guess that this will never appear in the Finder, but I want to ask anyway...

since this is a user-to-user forum, I guess your post is wrong here.
anyway, apple is known to leave certain advanced functionality/choices out to get a really easy-to-use and straightforward interface, so I guess your suggestions are not really the apple way to do it.
But I bet there are finder-alternatives out there who can do a lot of stuff, maybe you should look for something like that

Advanced file info

In windows, I can right click>properties>advanced and 'add' ID3 data to say an MP3 file, is there an equivalent OS feature, I dont want to DL a program to do this.
I know i can do it in itunes, but i need to change the raw data file so that my Sonos sytems orders the files correctly.
I alos tried automator to rename a batch of files from say
01-Paul_Harcastle_Chime_andysmix.mp3
to
01 Chimes.mp3
I just couldnt get it to work without indiviaully renaming EVERY FILE, I want automator to delete certs text, am I doing somehitng wrong
Media Monkey is great on Windows for this, but alas there is no Mac version

Besides iTunes, there isn't a way to set the tags within the OS. (although it may be possible from the command line). You might try ID3Mod or ID3 Editor.
Unless you can tell Automator ahead of time what to remove with a pattern, it won't do what you want. There is no way I can envision a regular expression that could possibly get Chimes out of Paul_Harcastle_Chime_andysmix, except one written specifically for that specific instance, which would be superfluous since you could more easily just rename it manually.

The ticker symbol in above file is max of 19 bytes. The software I use cannot convert this data, as it has a restriction of 14 bytes for ticker field.
I want to reduce the ticker field to 14 bytes using below logic & rewrite the modified symbol in the same column/file.
GOOG140110P01165000 - Ticker explanation is as shown below
Symbol : GOOG ( 4 bytes)
Year : 14 ( 2 bytes)
Month : 01 ( 2 bytes)
Date : 10 ( 2 bytes)
Call/Put : C or P ( 1 byte)
Strike : 01165 ( 5 bytes )
Strike (Decimal) : 000 ( 3 bytes)
Since they total to 19 bytes,my requirement is to bring down the ticker field size to 14 bytes using below formula.
1) Reduce year field to 1 byte i.e. 14 can be kept as 4
2) Strike ( Decimal) can be reduced to 1 byte ( drop the ending 2 bytes)
3) Month column ( 2 bytes) & call/put ( 1 byte) can be reduced to 1 byte ( saving of 2 bytes) by replacing 01 & C combination with A , 01 & P combination with B so on as mentioned below.
Month( 2 bytes)
Call/Put ( 1 byte)
Replace with
01
C
A
01
P
B
02
C
C
02
P
D
03
C
E

C
S

P
T
11
C
U

So the modified ticker will look like GOOG4B10011650
GOOG - symbol
4 - year which is 2014 in this case
B- 01 ( jan) & Put (P) is replaced with letter B
10 - Date
01165 - Strike price
0 - Decimal portion of strike price
The output file should look like below.

Thank you for your inputs with this request.

Hi Neothwin,
Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate it. My file contains a header record.
I ran the conversion, it converts very fast.
I noticed the decimal portion of strike is lost in the conversion. AAL140110C00023500 must be converted as AAL4A1000235 but instead its showing as AAL4A10000230 ( last byte
should be 5 but it shows as 0)
Also I noticed it puts double quotes ('') in front of every column. I tried to drop ' in the code but it complains.
Also, instead of giving file name in the shell script , is it possible to go thru all files in a folder and convert them? I'm new to this scripting/programming sorry if I ask you the basic questions. Thank you so much for sparing your valuable time on this
request. Have a great day !

Aperture Crashes Every Time on Launch Following Large File Manipulation

I've been using Aperture 2.1.3 (and previous) to work on bigger TIFF files (200MB+) which are scans of large format negatives (made with Silverfast AI Studio). I routinely get the "Red Screen of Death" (Unsupported File Format) but restarting Aperture fixes the problem and lets me work for another 5-30 mins before needing another restart. Usually, before it gives the Red Screen or a crash it draws a horizontal white line of single pixels across the right side of an image I work on. Also, randomly, some versions just show all in black.
All of those files work perfectly in Photoshop CS4 (and CS2).
Unfortunately, as I tried to create a new version from master today Aperture crashed but it will no longer start properly. It starts, shows me the usual screen and I even get a chance to quickly click on a project, but about 5 seconds after starting it crashes, always, and every time.
How can I fix it?
Can I, perhaps, delete the most recently edited master from the library somehow, assuming that it is causing offence?
Would anyone with Lightroom experience comment if it is more stable?
Many thanks,
RL.

I wouldn't claim any Aperture expertise, but you seem to have answered the question I just asked in the Aperture vs Lightroom topic (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1999997&tstart=0).
My solution, unfortunately, was to migrate to Lightroom.
Thanks!

Avi File Manipulation?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to take an AVI file and simply add text to it. Like an On Screen Display. I have a device that takes and gathers the amount of feet that a cable is run with a camera attached. That video is than taken and compressed to AVI, however it is hardware compressed. So now the question is if I can get the measurements into my application is there away I can add them to the video either during or after.
I am assuming that the video is Managed memory thus ruling out this idea. My next idea was to save the measurements to a database file and than upon completion of the recording add the data to the video file. This seems easier and more plausible as it shouldn't effect the speed or performance of the live recording.
Any ideas, links or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Heres another thought. Would it be easier to take and blend 2 AVI files into 1? If so couldn't I simply make another streaming video out of Bitmaps and simply capture them at the same time into a stream?
I am all out of ideas guys =/.
I really really need to make a software based On Screen Display though as we use analog signals with our equipment and quit honestly OSD chips are disappearing in the market for analog signals. Unfortunately we are in a niche market that we have to use analog for quit some time yet =/.

File manipulation issues

when I moved several video files to the recycle bin from my pictures folder, turned off file explorer from the task manager, and shutdown my computer, The files where still in the pictures menu when I turned my computer back on.
Also when I selected the microsoft video app as my default for .mkv files, then switch the default again to vlc, the folder doesn't update the thumbnail. Also, I then tried to delete the folder and it was never able to discover any of the files
It's far from system-breaking error, but it is an annoying quirk/bug

XML file manipulation question

I have to generate a big xml file from oracle relational tables, write the output to server and then load it back into a LOB field in the database.
1) I am on Oracle version 11.2.0.3
2) I am able to write the file to a server directory
Is it possible to zip the xml file using oracle preprocessor , read it and then load it back into the database on demand?
Thanks
Kev

Why not just store the XML in an XMLTYPE column in the DB. As you are on 11.2.0.3, you will be using the default storage format of SECUREFILE BINARY XML and that provides a compressed form of the XML that is easier for future parsing efforts. I can't speak how it would compare to a .zip version of the XML.
Without knowing more why you think LOBs need to be involved, I would avoid them completely since they are not setup for efficient XML storage/usage and the XMLType datatype is.
As for the .zip abilities, some good reference point (that started from)

take a look especially at the isDirectory() and listFiles() methods.
