Business Service 3.2 - get the rows from a flat file into varables?

Hi masters,
I am facing the following issue:
There is a flat file and I would like to load its content to a variable.
Regards,
Slavi

I found out how it can be done :
$V_Comand = 'more '||'[$$Source]'||'/CurrTabs_S.txt';
$V_Comand = replace_substr('[$V_Comand]','/','
$GV_Files = exec('cmd','[$V_Comand]',8);

Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,

How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

Get the data from excel and insert into the database

I want to read the data from excel file, get the data from excel and insert into the database.

You can use the Apache POI HSSF API to read data from Excel files and you can use the Sun JDBC API to insert data in database.
This has nothing to do with JSP/JSTL.

Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

Hi,
I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
b) Session Name
c) Number of Sessions created.
Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
Thanks,

Here is an example program, if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value. This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

How to get the rows from a table having some column has any letter

Hi All,
suppose i have a table having columns id(number), code(varchar).
code has alphanumeric characters (ex. ABC123, 67B56 etc).
some codes are only numbers (2344, 7898 etc).
how can i get the rows which have alphabets in the code.
ex:
id code
1 AB45
2 456
3 890
4 67B7
how can i write a query such that it should give me the ids 1 and 4 (as they have alphabets in code)
thanks in advance to all

Thanks to one and all.
i am gettig my required output.
But i have a doubt in the operator.
If i add or remove '[]' in the operator, i am getting different ouputs.
There is a count difference in the result of the operators used.
REGEXP_LIKE(<column>,'[[:lower:]]')
REGEXP_LIKE(<column>,'[[[:lower:]]]')
REGEXP_LIKE(<column>,'[:lower:]')
Can anybody please explain what is the difference in using '[]', in the operator?
What is the correct syntax, whether i have to use two '[]'s or one '[]'.
Also, can i use REGEXP_LIKE() in oracle 8i version.( I am unable to use the operator in 8i)?
Any query to get the required output in 8i version?
Thanks in advance to all.

Getting the information from a writable form into Excel ...

Help!
I have a writable form that was created in Adobe Acrobat Professional
I would like to either post or email out this form to fellow employees.
Once they fill out this form - it needs to come back to me
I then need to be able to take the data from all forms that will be coming back to me and put it into my Excel Spreadsheet.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
I can make oodles of writable forms, but I can't get the data into excel ....
Thanks!
Mieke Jeanne

If your using a Macintosh computer then you can not do it other than in Acrobat 9, go to advanced menu then mouse down to extend Reader Features in Reader ...
You want the ability to filout and save forms.
Then you emai to not more than 500 people. then you read the pdfs and manually key or save as fdf file and can extract the information from the fdf files.
If your a PC user you have the ability to use a system called liveCycle designer. But you need mucho bucks to subscribe to a special server Aodobe has for such purpose.
If you need more info. go back to the main form page and click on button for Acrobat LiveCycle the choose appropriate news group.

How can i get the images from a picture ring into a cell in Excel?

Hi
I need to get the chosen image from a picture ring into a cell in a Excel worksheet. If i use an invoke node i only get to write a picture from file. How can i get the picture directly from the picture ring into Excel?
Kenneth

No, there is no simple way of doing it directly. You need some clipboard manipulation which means you need to write some codes in excel as well. Importing the image through a file is much easier.

Define a join in Webi Report which gets the data from two Excel files

Hello,
I have the following excel records as a source for my Webi Report:
Excel 1
Excel 2
Date
Month
Month
Year
Year
Total Number of Days
in Month
No. Of Exec
Functional
Area
Now I need to show No. of executions/Total Number of Days in Month per functional area (Where Month of Excel 1 is Month of Excel 2).
For this:
I have Merged, Month of Excel 1 and Month of Excel 2, Year of Excel 1 and Year of Excel 2.
Created a variable vNoofExec , No. of Exec/Total Number of Days in Month.
Created a graph, with Merged Month, Merged Year, vNoofExec with Region Color on 'Functional Area'.
But, it doesn't work.
If I replace vNoofExec with No. Of Exec I get the data, but not with vNoofExec.
Any Idea how we can get a solution for this?
Best regards,
Praveen.

Hi Amit,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried putting them in a table to see if I am getting the value for vNoofExec but, no, I am not getting. Here is the dummy data for both the excels:
1. Excel 1:
Year
Month
Week
Date
No. Of Exec
Functional Area
2013
1
30
26
1
FA1
2013
2
21
20
12
FA2
2013
3
21
21
1
FA3
2013
4
21
22
5
FA4
2013
5
21
23
2
FA5
2. Excel 2:
Year
Month
TotalDays
2013
1
31
2013
2
28
2013
3
31
2013
4
30
2013
5
31
What I found is, if I create a measure like, [No. of Exec] where ([Functional Area]="FA1") and use this measure in the graph I am able to see the data even if I use Total Days in the Graph, but, I cannot create multiple measures like this because for me number of Functional Areas will be changing always.

How to read the data from an excel file into MYSQL by java language

Hi all,
I have some data in excel spread sheet and I want to put the data into MYSQL data base. I created the tables in MYSQL> How can I write a program in JAVA that puts the value from excel sheet to mysql??
I would appreciate your help
regards

By typing code at the keyboard... but presumably you meant to ask what code you should type.
To get data out of Excel there are a few alternatives. The Google keywords I would use to find them are "java excel". I use Apache POI but there are other possibilities, I believe. As for getting the data into MySQL once you have extracted it from Excel, you would use JDBC. But you already knew that, didn't you? You did find the JDBC forum.
In general it's better to ask a specific question on a forum. If you don't have a clue (which is the way we all start out) then just telling people that isn't going to be helpful. The best you're going to get is links to tutorials, which you could perfectly well have found for yourself by simple web searches.

Updating Table using the data from a flat file

Hi,
I have a table called emp;
Name,
empno,
accountno,
amount.
This table is filled with values of name and empno.
The columns accountno and amount are empty.
I have a flat file created in some folder.
Contents of the flat file can be like this:
mani | 23 | 123 | 1000
spr | 22 | 342 | 2133
asjf | 54 | 432 | 2345
I need to access the file in the specified location, read all the records one after the other in the flat file and update the table "emp" with the values in the flat file.
Row after row all the records in the file should be updated to the table.
I found out some way to do this - its sqlloader - But it loads the data from a file to the table - i dont need that - i need to update the table.
Let me know how this can be solved ?????????
Thanks in advance.......

Just to clarify Andrew's point, you can use external tables as the source table for an UPDATE statement. You cannot use them as a target for an UPDATE statement (i.e. you can't update the text file from an Oracle table).

How can I extract the metadata from multiple image files into a .csv?

Hi.
I'm looking for what I believe is a simple task but I am not sure how to go about it. I want to get the relevant data (seen in the screen grab below) into a spread sheet. I need to get the File Name, Size, Dimensions, Resolution and Kind into the spreadsheet so I can better analyze the data for my purposes. I have tried to find EXIF and IPTC extractors but only come across products that show me the info with no way of transferring it. I figured there must be a way to do this in the Finder. Maybe it's a simple Automator task (which I am not very good at) or a Script.
Can anyone guide me thru or suggest a tool that would work?
I was given a suggestion in another Disscussion to use a Plug-In for iPhoto. I found an old one but it dosnt have all of the metadata I need. It's missing the File Name and Resolution as options.

Stephen

Nevermind, I found it.
