AS3: outputting trace() content to external txt file

the question's in the title. ive got a swf but i've gotta run
it on a nokia n800, which means trace() content will be lost and -
boy! - do i need it!
so how can i set my swf up to output its trace content to an
external txt file?

hello kglad
well, not 'lost' thats misleading, sorry. i mean: the swf
will be running on a browser outside the flash authorising
environment so the output window won't be accessible, therefore i
need a way of printing out the trace() output to another source.
the help files say that trace() can output to the output window OR
to an external txt file. only it doesnt actually go on to say quite
HOW you can output to said external txt file, rather
irritatingly..

Copy contents of a txt file into a transport request

I am implementing the steps of the 990534 note.
The note says "Create a new transport request (transaction SE09) in the source client of your Solution Manager system. Unpack file SOLMAN40_MOPZ_TTYP_SLMO_000.zip, which is attached to this note. Copy the contents of the SOLMAN40_MOPZ_TTYP_SLMO_000.txt file into the transport request."
can anyone tell me how can I copy the contents of a txt file into a transport request?

Hello,
I don't know the OSS note, but I think they mean, that you have to go into the object list of your transport (in transaction SE09), switch to change mode and insert the objects from the text file.
I guess the text file looks like:
R3TR PROG xyz
R3TR TABL abc

Reading/getting external .txt files

Hi,
I want to display the content of a .txt files (which is located in the src folder) inside a TextBox (or ChoiceGroup, or Form). How do I do this yea? For instance, the TextBox constructor is TextBox(String title, String text, int maxSize, int constraints) rite, how do I fit in the file reading function or value that I get from reading the .txt file into it yea?
Thanx!

what do u mean by build the .txt file into the jar?{color:#0000ff}http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html{color}
i tried the examples from ... ...In future, please do not post on long-dead threads. One of those threads you posted on was from 2002.
Reviewing your initial post and the silly question about the TextBox constructor, I think you are not quite ready for this task. You need to go back to basics and learn the Java language. The Sun Java Tutorials are a good place to start.
This comment is not meant to discourage you, it is a statement of fact. A good foundation is a must for any developer, or indeed in any sphere of activity.

Calling a variable from a external txt file that is equal button name

Hello
I have a variable in an external txt file that is = the name
of my button. I have loaded the file in to flash in an object
called my_lv.
How do I make line three in the code valid ?
_root.map.name1900.onRollOver=function() {
this._alpha=20;
txName=my_lv.+(this._name); // this line is wrong!! I need
to place name1990._name in side the ().

do you have an object called "my_lv" and a child object have
named as "name1900" . ie "my_lv.name1900"\
if i am right then...
>> txName=my_lv.+(this._name); //
should be
txName= eval("my_lv."+ this._name)

How to read in text string pairs from an external txt file?

How can use TestStand 2013 to input this data into local string array varaibles? I also have legacy testers running TestStand 3.5, so I need a TestStand 3.5 solution as well. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Hopefully this can be done in TestStand without the use of LabView or LabWindows/CVI.

Daniel E., thanks for the reply.
     It is very frustrating to have to implement workarounds in order to access text in an external file when using TestStand. TestStand already reads in text ini files, so it would probably take a TestStand software developer all of 1/2 day to write the code and 1/2 day to debug it. Here I will restate the obvious. Engineers have to deal with data, sometimes data generated from other applications. Sharing data in a text file is one of the most basic functions (and one of the easiest to implement). When I think of all the effort needed to support ActiveX, but NI did not see it fit to give TestStand users simple text file read/write functionality, it does not make sense to me. Maybe it was too simple or mundane a task so it did not get developed? Whatever the reason, I think users of TestStand deserve this basic functionality.
     Even if TestStand cannot read the data directly into array variables, it should provide some mechanism to read the text from the file, either line by line or all file text into a string, so the data could then be parsed into the array variables I need.
     I will pursue a CVI or LabView solution. Please also know that I am not directing these comments at you, I do appreciate your reply.

StringTokenizer, chopping up content of a txt file

I'm working on a project here, making program(java) to read and run assembly. I have opened the file, but I'm having trouble extracting the content from the txt file.
txt-file looks like this:
IN 200
IN 200
LDA 200
ADD 201
HLT
The file is bigger, but you see my point. I need to read the content and chop the content in to properly tokens. Splitting the lines by " " does not work for me, neither by "\b". Is it possible to split two times? Second part of the program is the assembly coder, where i have to convert IN to a function to receive input from user(ill use JOptionPane when i get there).
For fun I'm posting my work so far: http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpqe83x3.php

Okey, I got the splitter to work(yay!). but since this is a program "converting" assembly to java i need some way to reccon commands(like IN 200).
I have no idea on how to do that(there a lot of things i dont know really). this my try/catch
try
                         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileDir));
                         String input = in.readLine(); // reads first line, IN 200
                         StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input, " ");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                              int x = 0;
                              String[] array = new String[x];
                              for(x = 0; x <= 1; x++)
                                   array[x] = st.nextToken();
                    catch (IOException event)
                         event.printStackTrace();
                    }As you see(and how i think i could solve the problem) is that i run the program like this:
get the file
open and read the first line(that is IN 200) in our case.
put each of the tokens inside an array, since i want to compare tokens to a assambly command libary(so if token = IN then get input from user and store input in 200(simple int mem1)).
And yeah, the code above isn't working. but i hope you all see what I want to do and can guide me to the right thing to do. the code above does not read more than the first line since if i cant get it to work then i cant get the rest to work, its the concept.

Dynamic Text with external .txt files

I need help getting dynamic text to display. I've used the
following tutorials (among others).
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm
In Flash 8 on last frame of maintimeline of movie, I have a
layer with a background image, 2 buttons and a dynamic textbox
(made scrollable) with scrollbar component. Textbox is given a var
of "content", and an instance name of "textBox", which is
referenced in scrollbar parameters.
I have created 3 text .txt files, and saved them to same
folder with movie .swf file. Text in files is preceeded by
"content=" on line preceeding text to correspond with var of
dynamic textbox. The files were created in Rich text format on Mac
OSX4.11 and saved with .rtf extension, then file extension was
changed to .txt (wouldn't save as .txt)
I've added the following actionscript to this last frame:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
Buttons have an instance name assigned with the following
actionscript:
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
When I test movie, I can see buttons on last frame of movie,
but they don't load any text when pressed, and "undefined" text
appears in upper left corner of text box before I press either
button.
I am getting the following Output errors:
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4

No more output errors, buttons still not working, but I got
my intro .txt file to load in textbox that loads with frame using
the following code I tried from another tutorial:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
Tried the following code with buttons, but doesn't work.
Other code suggestions?
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
loadText.load("TEXT2.txt");
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
}

1) In my Case we are Using Page Number Reset Option, which is working fine in Crystal Reports Viewer, but in .TXT file output, Page Number is not reseted.
2) We are Using Group Headers which has Text Objects and Formula Field, the Group Header Displays for Each Group in Viewer, but same is not displayed in .TXT File output.
3) For Very First Group, In Viewer it Displaying Page No as 1,1,2,3.....(which is not Correct, it should be 1,2,3....), but in .TXT file Output, it Displays right One as 1,2,3......
But If iam Exporting the Report to an PDF File, it Displays Eactly as what is in viewer.
So Kindly Help me on this Issue.

Is there any way to send output in BlueJ to a .txt file?

I want to send the output of my BlueJ program to a .txt file. Is there any command to do it? If yes, then please tell me the syntax of that command along with an example using it?

Again, you're just misunderstanding the tools you're using. Java should do that, not BlueJ. You have to research this from the perspective of writing Java code to do it. If you search how to make BlueJ do it, you won't find it because BlueJ has nothing to do with it.
So you know your basic requirements.
- you use System.out
- you want that to go to a file in stead of to the command prompt / BlueJ console
Do you know how to work with files yet? If not, that would be something you need to learn right now. And after that, try a Google for "java System.out file" and see what you get.

You should be aware that these kind of effort always involves certain amount of risk because the proper record format is not hundred percent guaranteed. So, make sure to use properly formatted file, or genuine database instead.

[CS3 JS] Reading TXT file content into String

Hello,
I'm currently wanting to display a dialog box that has a dropdown menu containing all countries of the world.
I have an external txt file that contains a list of all countries.
I thought I would simply read-in the contents of the 'txt' file into a string and use it for displaying the list.
For example
i Instead of the usual:
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:["A", "B"...], selectedIndex:0});
i I thought of doing something like:
> var myLandList = ....? HELP ?....
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:myLandList, selectedIndex:0});
Is this the way to do it?
What would be the way to read in the text file content as a string?
Thanks in advance,
Lee

> var myLandList = ....? HELP ?....
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:myLandList, selectedIndex:0});
It's hard to tell from context, but myLandList needs to be an array of strings.
If the file has one element per line, this would be one way of handling the
conversion:
var file = File("~/countries.txt");
file.open("r");
var str = file.read();
file.close();
var myLandList = str.split(/[\r\n]+/);
And assuming that this is ScriptUI and not the older ID UI, the menu creation
would look more like:
var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add(bounds, myLandList);
myLandMenu.items[0].selected = true;

Auto delete everything but specified folder contents from txt file

Hey Guys,
I am brand new to using Powershell (like 48 hours into using it for work) and I've run into a bit of an issue. I've only taken a programming concept classes so some of the stuff makes sense to me but a lot of it is new. Basically I've made a
script that automatically deletes any files over X amount of days. My next step is to have an exceptions text that will have a list of folders that should not have its contents deleted. This is what I have so far.
$Date= Get-Date
$Days = "7"
$Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
$LastWrite = $Now.AddDays(-$Days)
#----- getting DO NOT DELETE listing from TXT ----#
$Exceptions = Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt"
$Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse -Exclude "c:\exclude.txt" | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le "$LastWrite"}
foreach ($File in $Files)
if ($File -ne $NULL)
Remove-Item $File.FullName -Exclude $Exceptions | out-null
I've seen a lot of threads that show how to auto delete contents or how to exclude specific file types but I haven't seen an answer to my particular problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Rabbot,
The script below may be also helpful for you, and uses the -whatif parameter in Remove-Item cmdlet, which doesn’t actually remove anything but simply tells you what would happen if you did call Remove-Item.
$Exceptions = @()
Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt" | foreach{
$Exceptions += $_} #store the exception file to array
$Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
$LastWrite = (get-date).adddays(-7) #over 7 days.
$Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le $LastWrite} #filter files which over 7 days.
Foreach ($file in $files){
if ($Exceptions -notcontains $file.fullname){ #if the file is not listed in the exception array.
Remove-Item $File.FullName -whatif} #use -whatif to test
I hope this helps.

Pulling output data from .txt file

Hello, I am trying to have a program that allows a user to input shopping items into the program andhave that input go to a .txt file called shoppinglist, then after the user is finished, he/she can type no to stop entering items to the list and the program will then pull all the info entered to the .txt file and output it to the screen, creating a shooping list for the user. My problem is that I am not quite sure how to output the data from the .txt file to the screen. Here is my code.
import java.io.*; // uses the java io library for the
import java.util.*; // BufferedReader class
public class week5
public static void main(String [] args)
PrintWriter inputItems = null;
try
inputItems = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("shoppinglist.txt"));
BufferedReader outputItems = null;
String line = null;
outputItems = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("shoppinglist.txt"));
line = outputItems.readLine();
outputItems.close();
catch(FileNotFoundException e)
System.out.println("File file.txt not found");
System.out.println("or could not be opened.");
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println("Error reading from file file.txt.");
System.out.println("This program will create a shopping list:");
String keepGoing = "yes";
String item = null;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int count = 1; count < 999 && keepGoing.equalsIgnoreCase("yes");count++)
//ask for input, write it to a file
System.out.print("Please enter item # " + count + ": ");
System.out.print("");
item = keyboard.nextLine();
inputItems.println(count + " " + item);
//ask if you want to keep going
System.out.print("Do you wish to enter more items (yes/no): ");
System.out.print("");
keepGoing = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println("Your shopping list contains: " + item);
System.out.print("");
inputItems.close();
} All the above does is output the last item entered by the user, not the whole shopping list. Any help is greatly appreciated.

He hasn't even read the user input at that point.
OP, you need to sit down and think about the exact order you want to do things in, and rewrite your code in a logical straightforward manner. It looks like you just threw some code in hoping it would work, instead of coding deliberately. I'm not insulting you or anything, I know you're new to Java. I'm just trying to give you some advice. Look at your code, and ask yourself why the following line of code appears before you've even written anything to your file:
line = outputItems.readLine();

Parse contents of folder of txt files

I tried to do this in Automator, but whatever I did didn't work:
I have a folder with about 80 short text files (quotations, if you must know) and I wanted to make a spreadsheet or database where each cell/field was the contents of one of the text files.
Is there some way to accomplish this without individually opening each .txt file, copying the contents, and then pasting into the appropriate spreadsheet cell ?

This may be stupidly trivial.
Assuming you want each quotation in a new row in the spreadsheet you can do this with a oneliner:
cat *.txt > quotes.txt
This will combine the contents of all .txt files in the current directory into a new file called quotes.txt (use cd to get to the appropriate directory first). Once there you can open the quotes.txt file in your spreadsheet application. Violà:
open -a Microsoft\ Excel quotes.txt
