Can TestStand open, read, write and close binary files?

From a TestStand sequence, I need to open, read, write and close binary files. Does TestStand support this capability?

Christine -
In the past I have used the C/C++ Adapter to call directly into the CVI RTE functions. The CVI functions I have used are OpenFile, WriteFile and CloseFile. The functions are exported from the DLL as CVI_OpenFile, CVI_WriteFile, and CVI_CloseFile. I just had to make sure that on termination of the sequence, that the integer handle was properly released by calling the close function.
If you are using LabVIEW, you could call directly into the low level VIs to do a similar set of operations.

What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e. Windows) ?

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

Open, Write and Close the file using Powershell

Hi All,
I need to create/open a file and write some data into it and close that file.
Could anyone please help me with this.
Thanks.

You don't need to explicitly create, open, or close a file in Powershell. Here are some ways to write to a file, in addition to New-Item:
$text = 'Hello World'
# Create file:
$text | Set-Content 'file.txt'
#or
$text | Out-File 'file.txt'
#or
$text > 'file.txt'
# Append to file:
$text | Add-Content 'file.txt'
#or
$text | Out-File 'file.txt' -Append
#or
$text >> 'file.txt'
Grant Ward, a.k.a. Bigteddy
The problem with Out-File is that it works like the console. When text is output, it will be truncated if it is wider than the default. So if you are looking for something where you need to store lots of long strings, then you may want to choose a different
route, or ensure than you specify a width for your output.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176924.aspx
For example to get 200 characters of width:
$text | Out-File
'myfile.txt' -width 200
I do not know for certain if there is a limit to how wide it can be. I also assume the default is the standard console width (80 characters I believe.)

Why can't adobe reader download and display my files?

i downloaded adobe reader and when I try to display something I get an error message:
"Adobe reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration."
I was able to display these documents with preview..
and I am able to display them with adobe when using my safari browser.
Help!

(for the record)
This is a known issue with the Adobe Reader plugin on Mac OS:
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811085 Bug 811085] - Can't use Adobe Reader for PDF files
Read the above bug for details (please don't comment in the bug report).
To work around this,
#disable the Adobe Reader plugin in the Firefox Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins list
#choose another action for '''Portable Document Format (PDF)''' content types in the Firefox Preferences -> Applications list, such as "Preview in Firefox" to use the built-in PDF viewer, "Preview" application or the Adobe Reader application itself

Can jpdk portlets deliver images and other binary files?

From my understanding, portlets can only return text content (html).
Images and pdf files would be impossible to deliver via portlets.
So if you portlet has a link to a pdf or a image, this URL would be a direct reference to that application or file resource, and not be tunnelled through portal?

I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

What is open data set and close data set

what is open data set and close data set,
how to use the files in sap directories ?

hi,
Open Dataset is used to read or write on to application server ... other than that i am not sure that there exists any way to do the same ... here is a short description for that
FILE HANDLING IN SAP
Introduction
Files on application server are sequential files.
Files on presentation server / workstation are local files.
A sequential file is also called a dataset.
Handling of Sequential file
Three steps are involved in sequential file handling
OPEN
PROCESS
CLOSE
Here processing of file can be READING a file or WRITING on to a file.
OPEN FILE
Before data can be processed, a file needs to be opened.
After processing file is closed.
Syntax:
OPEN DATASET <file name> FOR {OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
IN {TEXT/BINARY} MODE
This statement returns SY_SUBRC as 0 for successful opening of file or 8, if unsuccessful.
OUTPUT: Opens the file for writing. If the dataset already exists, this will place the cursor at the start of the dataset, the old contents get deleted at the end of the program or when the CLOSE DATASET is encountered.
INPUT: Opens a file for READ and places the cursor at the beginning of the file.
FOR APPENDING: Opens the file for writing and places the cursor at the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is generated.
BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time n characters are READ or transferred. The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.
IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time. If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated. If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.
Defaults: If nothing is mentioned, then defaults are FOR INPUT and in BINARY MODE.
PROCESS FILE:
Processing a file involves READing the file or Writing on to file TRANSFER.
TRANSFER Statement
Syntax:
TRANSFER <field> TO <file name>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each transfer statement writes a statement to the dataset. In binary mode, it writes the length of the field to the dataset. In text mode, it writes one line to the dataset.
If the file is not already open, TRANSFER tries to OPEN file FOR OUTPUT (IN BINARY MODE) or using the last OPEN DATASET statement for this file.
IF FILE HANDLING, TRANSFER IS THE ONLY STATEMENT WHICH DOES NOT RETURN SY-SUBRC
READ Statement
Syntax:
READ DATASET <file name> INTO <field>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each READ will get one record from the dataset. In binary mode it reads the length of the field and in text mode it reads each line.
CLOSE FILE:
The program will close all sequential files, which are open at the end of the program. However, it is a good programming practice to explicitly close all the datasets that were opened.
Syntax:
CLOSE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the CLOSE is successful or not.
DELETE FILE:
A dataset can be deleted.
Syntax:
DELETE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the DELETE is successful or not.
Pseudo logic for processing the sequential files:
For reading:
Open dataset for input in a particular mode.
Start DO loop.
Read dataset into a field.
If READ is not successful.
Exit the loop.
Endif.
Do relevant processing for that record.
End the do loop.
Close the dataset.
For writing:
Open dataset for output / Appending in a particular mode.
Populate the field that is to be transferred.
TRANSFER the filed to a dataset.
Close the dataset.

Hello, 
 
I've been using the PWS to run the website on NT workstation 4.0. It was working
fine. 
The URL should be as below: 
http://127.0.0.1/index.htm or http://localhost/index.htm
And suddently, it stops working, it can't find the connection. I tried to figure
out what's going on, but still NO CLUES. Does anyone
know what's going on? Please see the link for more.... I believe that I setup
everything correctly and the bugs still flying in the server.... 
Thank you for your help.

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

Can't open Reader V9. Says part of suite (CS4 Web Design), need to open other module. but getting error message 148.3

I'm running Windows 8.1. I had to create a new account identity because of some corrupted files. Now I can't open Reader V9. Message comes up saying it's part of a Suite (CS4 Web Design) and I need to open other module first. I tried opening Dreamweaver, got error message 148.3 and program closes, says to contact customer support. My CS4 Seb design suite is old and I've since gotten PS Extended CS5 and PS Extended CS6, but not a whole Suite. Perhaps the license needs to be re-entered but the program closes before I can do anything. Please advise.

What is your operating system? Can you post a screenshot of that message: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
I also think you should use a newer Reader version on Windows 8.x, i.e. 10.1.10 or 11.0.07.

Read,write and create word document with list data

Hi,
My requirement is that I have a custom list called List1 and which has a 4 (suppose XName, location, phone, email)columns and also have a Template document(.dot). If I click on save button , new document has to create from the Template document(.dot) and
should modify the content depends on list columns.
For that I need to read the document , find out the text where XName , location,,phone, email and replace with the list item data(user entered data).
Can anybody please refer links for read,write and create word document?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can using Office Open XML. I found it to be a lot more cumbersome and in the end not a money saving approach:
