Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

Hi,
I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
Please let me know how can I do this.
Thanks,
Shilpi

Why you want to export into .csv file.Why not export/import? What is your oracle version?

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Trying to import from different csv files into multiple JTables

This might seem like something that isn't commonly done, but I'll see if anyone has done this before anyways.
I currently have a JTable (tab #1) and it successfully reads in the data from a CSV file to populate the cells. Now, I am looking into making 3 more JTables. I can tab between the four different tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the data to go to the correct JTable. Tab #1 = table, Tab #2 = table2, Tab #3 = table3, Tab #4 = table4.
Thanks.
        try
            FileInputStream fileInput = new FileInputStream ("upcoming.csv");
            BufferedReader InputCSV = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (fileInput));
            line = InputCSV.readLine(); //start reading into the records.
                //Create data for the table.
                //the row variable = starting row
            int row = 0;
            while(line != null)
                tmp = line.split(",");
                for (int col = 0; col < columnNames.length; ++col)
                    data[row][col] = tmp[col]; //store cells' data to the 2-dimensional array.
                row++;
                line = InputCSV.readLine();
            }//end of WHILE-statement.
        } //END of TRY-statement.
        catch(Exception e)
            System.out.println(e);
        }

I have been successful in my quest to get 4 different datasets into 4 different JTables. The previous posters suggestion to use the Table model led me to this page:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/table/TableModel.html
        TableModel myData = new MyTableModel();
        JTable table = new JTable(myData);I had some very similar code in my program. I use the DefaultTableModel and the SortFilterModel before having 4 different JTables.
        DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model2 = new DefaultTableModel(data2, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model3 = new DefaultTableModel(data3, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model4 = new DefaultTableModel(data4, columnNames);I use the code in the first post 4 times, and only change the filename and the data#.
I also have some code that counts the number of lines that will be needed.
Thanks.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

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.

Thanks,
Stephen

Nevermind, I found it.

How can I use automator to import a .csv file into a an excel file

I would still like all the import settings that I get if I am using excel to do the process, i.e. going in with the text format instead of the general format. That way my dates don't change

You'll need to use Applescript in Automator.
Note: File extension cannot be CSV (Excel will assume that the file is comma separated), so add an action to copy or rename with extension TXT.
(You can rename back at end of Workflow is needed)
The Applescript Action is:
on run {input, parameters}
     repeat with f in input
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
          end tell
      end repeat
      eturn input
end run
NOTE: This is formating the 1st col to text
If you need to format the second, then you need to:
open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, general format}, {2, text format}} other char "|" with use other
(You'll need to list the 1st col, 2nd col, etc until you get to the col to format as text). Formats are (from the Applescript Excel Library):
[field info list] : A list contain parse information for the individual columns of data.
Formats are general format, text format, MDY format, DMY format, YMD format, MYD format, DYM format, YDM format, skip column.
Or you can skip using Automator and just use an Applescript App (this is a droplet, just drop the files on the icon, or click to choose files):
on run
     set fs to choose file with prompt "Select one or more files to open:" default location alias (the path to desktop folder as text) with multiple selections allowed
     proceed(fs)
end run
on open fs
     proceed(fs)
end open
on proceed(fs)
     repeat with f in fs
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
           end tell
      end repeat
end proceed

Copying simulation from one CP file into another...issues

Hi,
I am trying to copy slides from one simualtion into another, but when I do, all the objects et are covered with a background. For example, I copy some slides that are instructing to click on the Start menu, then selecting the program from the start menu that comes up, the start button and menu are covered with another image, like all objects have been placed behind the slide background....
.....seems really strange and a bit frustrating to say the least.
Any help appreciated..
Cheers
Rossco

Select one of these slides in the filmstrip and check the Properties > General accordion.
For simulation slides, make sure the boxes for Master Slide Objects On Top and Use Master Slide Backround are unchecked.

How can i put my pictures from my picture files into my iPhotos for photo streaming onto my apple tv?

Hi, I am a new user to iMac and have now bought just about every Mac product you can think of and have just taken delivery of an Apple TV and now want to stream photos but don't know how to transfer photos from my picture files over into my iPhotos for Photo Streaming. Is there an easy way? I have Mac for Dummies but they don't mention it there!! Guess it's too dummy for them!!! Any one out there can help me as I have loads of pics I would like to see on the big screen from time to time

You need to connect the Apple TV and the computer to the same network and then turn on "Home Sharing" in iTunes. Check boxes allow you to select what you want to share.
You'll see a "Computer" icon on the Apple TV and it holds all your music, movies and photos.

Importing several CSV files into Excel

Hello Everyone,
I managed to piece together this code which runs several powershell scripts that each output a CSV for every day of the week.
Next, I located a function that takes a CSV file as input and exports that as a worksheet in an Excel document.
My problem is, the last column in the Excel file should be the first column and I just cannot spot why this behavior is occuring.
#First phase, output CSV files used later in the script.
Monday.ps1
Tuesday.ps1
Wednesday.ps1
Thursday.ps1
Friday.ps1
Saturday.ps1
Sunday.ps1
#Now the function to export the CSV from Phase 1 into an Excel Spreadsheet.
function Export-Excel {
[cmdletBinding()]
Param([Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)][string]$junk)
begin{
$header=$null
$row=1
process{
if(!$header){
$i=0
$header=$_ | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty | select name
$header | %{$Global:ws.cells.item(1,++$i)=$_.Name}
$i=0
++$row
foreach($field in $header){
$Global:ws.cells.item($row,++$i)=$($_."$($field.Name)")
$xl=New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$wb=$xl.WorkBooks.add(1)
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.item(1)
$Global:ws.Name='Sunday'
import-csv 'C:\Sunday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Saturday'
import-csv 'C:\Saturday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Friday'
import-csv 'C:\Friday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Thursday'
import-csv 'C:\Thursday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Wednesday'
import-csv 'C:\Wednesday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Tuesday'
import-csv 'C:\Tuesday.csv' | Export-Excel
$Global:ws=$wb.WorkSheets.Add()
$Global:ws.Name='Monday'
import-csv 'C:\Monday.csv' | Export-Excel
$xl.Visible=$true

That is interesting considering this script I found on Hey Scripting Guy.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2010/09/09/copy-csv-columns-to-an-excel-spreadsheet-by-using-powershell.aspx
I have run your version above and have no issues with order.
I still recommend using WorkBook.OpenText($csvfile)
and
$wb.Sheets($csvfile).Move($wb2.Sheet(1))
This is much faster and takes much less code.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could you give a terse example? I'm trying to put something together but am not having much success.
$sheets = @(LS D:\Scripts\work | select FullName -ExpandProperty FullName)
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$Excel.visible = $false
$file = $Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\tmp\mytest.xlsx")
#$wb2 = $file.Sheets
for ($i=0; $i -lt $sheets.length; $i++)
$workbook = $Excel.WorkBooks.OpenText($sheets[$i])
$workbook.Sheets($sheets[$i]).Move($file.Sheet(1))
$Excel.visible = $true

Why can't I drag an image or html file into a browser window with Firefox 17

to get a quick view of various images or html files, I like simply dragging the files from my local drive into a Firefox browser window.
since upgrading to FF 17, I can no longer do that. a NO symbol comes up when attempting this. and Dreamweaver will no longer preview with Firefox, even though it's my designated, preferred browser.
anybody know if both of these are some setting or something?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Loading a CLOB from a CSV file into Oracle

I'm consuming data files from a third party and I need to load them into an Oracle database. One of the files has a field that's described in the data dictionary as varchar2(8000) which will obviously need to be stored as a CLOB.
I have two questions:
1. How do I create a Model for the data file when CLOB isn't available as the Type of a column.
2. Will I need to do anything fancy to get it into a CLOB column in an Oracle table? I'm using "LKM File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" and "IKM Oracle Incremental Update (PL SQL)"

I ended up running the file through a Java app to trim the field down to 4000 characters.
I can't believe an Oracle product can't handle an Oracle data type - very poor.

Why can't I open .csv files in Excel 2013?

We purchased (20) new machines all with Office 2013 (OEM) version. We can no longer open .csv files with Excel 2013. When we go to a machine with Office 2010 it opens perfectly. The issue is with some change to Excel. I see a lot
of complaints on the internet about this issue. Since we have OEM versions of Office, I am not entitled to a downgrade to 2010. I need to know what Microsoft is doing to fix this issue, or need them to grant us rights to downgrade.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, I had tested in Excel 2013 of my PC. It seems worked fine. Thus, I suggest you try to do the following methods to test.
1. Import the CSV file into Excel 2013. Click Data tab>From Text
http://superuser.com/questions/407082/easiest-way-to-open-csv-with-commas-in-excel
2. Did you get en error message "SYLK: File format is not valid" when you open CSV file?
If it was, please try to follow the link to fix the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
3. Please try copy one of the CSV file to notepad and save it as a new name to test.
4. You'd better upgrade the lastest patches.

Script to import contacts from CSV file into Address Book

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to import contacts from a CSV file into a group in Address Book using applescript, and if so, if anyone is aware of a script that does this or something similar.
I have a CSV file with three columns 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Email Address'. I would like these to correspond with 'First', 'Last' and (Work) 'Email' in Address Book.
Ideally the script would also check to see if entries already exist for the people being imported, but this is less crucial.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Nick

Hi,
Test this on a very small csv file (four or five contacts) to see if it works for you. It will not de-duplicate. You don't give the name of the group, so you'll need to replace Name of group in the second line with your group name, enclosed in double quotes.
--begin script
set the_people to read (choose file with prompt "Choose your CSV file")
set the_group to "Name of group"
set old_tids to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set par_count to (count paragraphs in the_people)
repeat with x from 1 to par_count
          set next_par to paragraph x of the_people
          set first_name to text item 1 of next_par
          set last_name to text item 2 of next_par
          set e_mail to text item 3 of next_par
          tell application "Address Book"
                    set nu_person to make new person with properties {first name:first_name, last name:last_name}
make new email at end of emails of nu_person with properties {label:"Work", value:e_mail}
                    add nu_person to group the_group
save
          end tell
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_tids
--end script
Watch out for bad line breaks in the lines beginning "set nu_person..." and "make new email..."
