Binary file readed from Labview and Borland C++ v.5

Hi Everybody!
My problem is reading binary file from Labview 7.0 and Borland C++ version 5 is not the same.
Only one difference is "space". Reading from Labview I got "00" (decimal) and reading from Borland C++ I got "32".
I also try to read this binary file with Matlab 6 and I also got "00" as well as those from Labview.
I really struck with this problem.. Anybody has an idea about this problem.
Thanks a lot for anybody help!

Is there any way I can find it.What kind of restoration? What kind of files?

Yours is a bit different - "I tried to fix my car. Tell me how to know it's fixed".

How to read a binary file written in LabVIEW 6.1 using VB ?

How to read a file saved in binay forrmat in LabVIEW 6.1 platform through VB.
Is there any code ?
Thanks

Hello,
LabVIEW files stored in binary can take on just about any format that
you choose, so there will not be a single piece of code that will give
you what you are looking for. You can use VB's standard file
operation functions to read in a binary file created by LabVIEW, just
as you would read in any other binary file. See this page
on Microsoft's web site for more information on the binary file read
operation. How you stored the data in the binary file will
determine how you need to extract it from the byte array. So, if
the first element stored in the file was a 32-bit integer, you could
extract an int from the byte stream to recover that piece of your
data. You would need to know in advance how the file was
formatted in order to successfully retrieve the information. If
you need a reference for the VB functions, the microsoft link above
will get you to some good information.

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

No more data to read from socket" and OALL8 is in an inconsistent state

HI All
user getting various errors – such as “No more data to read from socket” and “OALL8 is in an inconsistent state”.
database is on windows 2k8-64 bit
database is 11.2.0.1.0
is this problem with JDBC drivers on client side
thanx

You will usually get this error when the connection get drop before completing the query/transaction.
Check the alert log file for core dump as well as the trace file associated to the core dump.
Also check if you are using the right driver version (ojdbc?)

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

Read binary file information from servlet - from database accessor method

Okay, I have been working on this for awhile now and I just plain dont know what I am doing. Could someone please help me? I cannot find any examples through google or the forums for this specific type of situation( as in a servlet calls a method which gets binary file from a database).
- How do I get the inputStream into the servlet so that I can read it?
- Why am I getting the error message that OutputStream has already been called?
If someone could give me direction or simply tell me what I should look up - I would really really appreciate it.
The Servlet
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename="+ file + ext);
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
OOT openAttachments = searchInfo.openAttachments(newID, oot, ootNum, file, ext, os);
InputStream is2 = oot.getIs();
    byte b[] = new byte[16384];
    int numBytes;
        while((numBytes=is2.read(b))!=-1){
            os.write(b,0,numBytes);
            System.out.println("is - in while" + is);
        is2.close();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/ootMain.jsp?newID="+newID);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
        os.flush();
        os.close();
The Method
public OOT openAttachments(String newID, OOT oot, String ootNum, String file,
                           String ext, OutputStream os) {
    this.conn = database.SybaseDAO.grabConnection();
    String query = " edited for space'";
    state = conn.createStatement();
    rs = state.executeQuery(query);
        if(rs.next()){
           InputStream is = rs.getBinaryStream(2);
           oot.setIs(is);
           System.out.println("is - in while" + is);

CAN AN EXCEL XLSM FILE READ FROM A CSV AND WRITE BACK TO THE SAME XLSM -VBA

Hey Carlos- Here's the repost.
Could an XLSM file read a line from a CSV file in "A1" and depending on what was in the first column in the XLSM, search the CSV file and find the indexed item in the second column or third? I've done it before with standard VLookup functions and it was cumbersome and very slow, and for some reason, everytime I would save the file it would take forever although the xls file was a single sheet.
i've attacthed a sketch of what I'm talking about, because it's hard to explain and I think the sketch explains it better. Here it is, sorry if it is blurry, it looked fine before I posted:

ok, use this version, I changed it a bit. To accommodate the issue with the single cell, I moved the main procedures to a function for a more efficient use.
Sub xlsmCsvLookup()
    'have both your xlsm and your csv files open
    'in the xlsm file, select a range of cells to look up
    'run the script to search all selected cells and get the values from the csv file
    Dim csvDataRange As Range 'csv file data column
    Dim selRange As Range 'to hold selected cells
    Dim foundRange As Range
    'get the source range
    Set csvDataRange = Workbooks("Book2.csv").Sheets(1).Range("a:a") ' replace "Book2" with yourCSVfile.csv
    'check for selection, only one cell, ceck that cell and exit, otherwise loop thru selection
    If Selection.Count > 1 Then
        'loop thru all selected cells, ignore empty cells
        For Each selRange In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
            findSelection selRange, csvDataRange
        Next
    Else
        findSelection ActiveCell, csvDataRange
    End If
    Set foundRange = Nothing
    Set selRange = Nothing
    Set csvDataRange = Nothing
End Sub
Function findSelection(selRange, csvDataRange)
        'try to find it in the csv file
        Set foundRange = csvDataRange.Find(selRange) 'if found, assign it to foundRange
        'if no match highligh cut
        If foundRange Is Nothing Then
            selRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 34
        Else
            'if found, get the value in next cell

Write to binary file different from 8.0 to 8.2?

I am communicating with a device via USB and am using a method setup by the USB driver programmer. To communicate, I write to a binary file with a filename of \\?\COMx. This has been working fine for about a year in mfg with Labview 8.0. I recently "upgraded" to 8.2 and now it does not work. If I save for a previous version and run 8.0 it works fine. How can I make this work with 8.2?

Yi Y,
The USB device is one of the instruments we manufacture. The USB driver is written so writing to the USB port is just like writing to a file. I use the binary read/write VI's to send and receive commands to this USB device. The filename I use is \\?\COM#. I am told by the USB driver creator that this is common for low level C. I have been using this VI for that last year and recently upgraged from 8.0 to 8.2 and it does not work. I run the same vi under 8.0 and it works fine. This is not a common way to communicate, so will probably not get an answer.
My next question is, is there any way to run an 8.0 dll or vi from an 8.2 executable?
Thanks
Hi dgtest1,
Which USB device you are using, and which driver are you using? I'm trying to figure out specifically how you are communicating with the USB device by writing a binary file and how was the binary file written. Could you please post more information to describe in more details about what your set up is doing?
Thanks!

Binary File Reader to a Chart

Hello All,
Newbie having some trouble with reading a chart from a binary file. My problem may be with trying to use a binary file, I am not sure. The x axis time is not the same length as the actual test time. I have acquired a rms voltage from a VCR RF envelope. I'm using a 6009 DAQ with LV 7.1 on Win2K. I have attached the recording vi and the reading vi and a sample file. I have tried different things including the examples that came with lab view. I need to write a small sized file because this test will last for 4 hours. I have another application that will run for 5 days. I appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks,
bh3560

Hi,
The program you have attached acquires, saves and reads data in ASCII ( floating numbers) and not binary.
To get an idea on how to write and read data in binary format, look at attached examples( taken from examples shipped with labview)
Hope this helps
Regards
Dev

Trying to parse a file-read from text file.vi

I'm attempting to read a txt file that has tab separated data. In the fourth (or any) column is the only data I need. The data is a string of numbers (23.454).
I've used the Read from Text File.vi and the Read From Spreadsheet.vi and I just don't seem to have enough LV background to extract the pertinent data into a graph. any suggestions?

(It is silly to use "delete from array" if all you want is a column. The correct function is "index array")
Joe's idea above basically works fine. Here's a quick adapdation (the node before the graph is "index array" from the array palette.).

Blob for binary file, read/write problems

Hi,
I am relatively new to this type of development so apologies if this question is a bit basic.
I am trying to write a binary document (.doc) to a blob and read it back again, constructing the original word file. I have the following code for reading and writing the file:
private void save_addagreement_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Save the agreement to the database
int test_setting = 0;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
string constr;
if (test_setting == 0)
constr = "User Id=royalty;Password=royalty;data source=xe";
else
constr = "User ID=lob_user;Password=lob_password;data source=xe";
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection(constr);
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
// step 2: read the row
OracleTransaction myOracleTransaction = myOracleConnection.BeginTransaction();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column FROM blob_content WHERE id = 2";
myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReadre[\"id\"] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("OracleBlob = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
myOracleBlob.Erase();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(agreement_filename.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
Console.WriteLine("Opened " + agreement_filename.Text + " for reading");
int numBytesRead;
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fs.Length];
numBytesRead = fs.Read(byteArray, 0, (Int32)fs.Length);
Console.WriteLine(numBytesRead + " read from file");
myOracleBlob.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine(byteArray.Length + " written to blob object");
Console.WriteLine("Blob Length = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReadre["id"] = 2
OracleBlob = 0
Opened D:\sample_files\oly_in.doc for reading
56832 read from file
56832 written to blob object
Blob Length = 56832
My write to file code is:
private void save_agreement_to_disk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string filename;
SaveFileDialog savedoc = new SaveFileDialog();
if (savedoc.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
filename = savedoc.FileName;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection("User ID=royalty;Password=royalty");
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column " +
"FROM blob_content " +
"WHERE id = 2";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReader[id] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
//Step 2: Get the LOB locator
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("Blob size = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
//Step 3: get the BLOB data using the read() method
byte[] byteArray = new byte[500];
int numBytesRead;
int totalBytes = 0;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
while ((numBytesRead = myOracleBlob.Read(byteArray, 0, 500)) > 0)
totalBytes += numBytesRead;
fs.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine("numBytes = " + numBytesRead + " totalBytes = " + totalBytes);
Console.WriteLine((int)fs.Length + " bytes written to file");
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReader[id] = 2
Blob size = 0
0 bytes written to file
If I manually add the blob file using the following:
DECLARE
my_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
-- load the BLOB
my_bfile := BFILENAME('SAMPLE_FILES_DIR', 'binaryContent.doc');
SELECT blob_column
INTO my_blob
FROM blob_content
WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(my_bfile, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(my_blob, my_bfile, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(my_bfile), 1, 1);
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSEALL();
COMMIT;
END;
COMMIT;
The write to file works perfectly. This tells me that there must be something wrong with my code that is writing the blob to the database. I tried where possible to following the Oracle article using large objects in .NET but that (along with most things on the internet) focus on uploading text files.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.

myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
This looks wrong, you shouldn't be using ExecuteReader unless you expect to get a result back. Try using ExecuteNonQuery to do the insert.
