Combine Text (tab delimted) files, if there is a duplicate do calculation

I'm just taking a shot here, to see if you could help. . I have two text files (tab delimted), I need to combine them into a single file. But here's the kicker, I have 3 columns, Name, Number, Number (see example below). If File #1 has a line that exists in File #2 I want to just add the numbers. So long story short, if there is a duplicate name, then just add the #'s.
Example,
File #1
Andrew, 0, 2
John, 2, 4
Fred, 5, 2
Ben, 2, 5
File #2
Andrew,1,3
Craig, 2, 4
Ben, 3, 5
Sam, 4, 1
Got any ideas on how to accomplish this? Do I learn apple script? Apple Automator ? Excel Macro?
Anyways, thanks if you can help.
Thanks,
Andrew

Text Tab delimited file-Strcuture-validation

Hi Folks,
1.Is there a way to check whether the file is text tab delimited or not,programatically ?
2.can we check whether the data in the text tab delimited file is in line with the structure of the internal table into which it is going to be uploaded ?
Thanks,

Upload tab delimted file without using GUI_UPLOAD

hi gurus,
my requirement is I have to upload a Tab - delimited text file into a internal table. this should happen as a background job due to which, I cannot use GUI_UPLOAD.
please provide me with code snippets using open dataset and close dataset.
points will be awarded for best code!

Hello,
Check this sample.
CONSTANTS: CON_TAB TYPE X VALUE '09'.
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

Trying to combine folders within LR4 from two separate drives without creating duplicates--sometimes it won't let me transfer to destination folder because it says files are there when they are not; other times, allows duplicates to transfer

Trying to consolidate 261K+ of images within LR4 between two drives. Someone who was "helping" me with my Library in LR4 for some reason took some but not all of the file folders from my main backup drive (M) and duplicated them onto a partitioned hard drive (E) directly on the computer. The duplication is huge, so I am trying to condense them all back onto the original backup drive M, particularly since I believe there are also folders on the partitioned backup drive E that do not appear on the main one M, and there are many more file folders on M that are not on E, so that is the destination drive.
CONSOLIDATION: When I try to drag either the file folders or the individual files from the duplicate drive E to the original drive M to combine the two drives since the folders in many cases for some reason are not identical, sometimes LR4 says the files already exist when they clearly don't. Other times it allows me to drag and drop all files, even if the exact duplicates are already on the destination drive, thereby doubling the number of files per image and creating more duplicates. Right now I am opening each file folder on the duplicate drive E, looking at what extensions and file names are there, scrolling to the original drive, making sure they appear to be identical, then going back to the duplicate drive E, deleting the images in the folder, removing the folder, and moving to the next folder on the duplicate drive E. *There has got to be a simpler way.*
CONSOLIDATION APPROACH: I did start to create file folders names A, B, C and group file folders under them to reduce clutter, since those header folders can be closed down when not in use, but now I am wondering if I should have done that alphabetization to the main backup drive rather than to the partitioned backup drive.
My goal is to consolidate the two drives down to one, delete as many images along the way that I know I will never miss, then backup the catalog and export it to an external drive and then copy that to yet another drive for offside storage. Does this sound like the proper plan? Last time it took almost 24 hours and over a terabyte to export the catalog.
DUPLICATION: I also have many file folders that have the exact same image in them. One portfolio image may actually be in eight different folders, with the exact file, file name, file size, and date, even though I always have checked "no duplicates on import," How can this be? What is the best way to sort through duplicates? Why are the files in some of the duplicate folders not in numerical order? If I do a search and call up a file # and find 15 duplicates, the only way I can find where those duplicates reside is to take each duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to go back to All Photographs>Text.search for file #, go to the second duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to do it all again. Is there a simpler way to see all the occurrences in their respective folder locations at once?
SEARCH BY FILE FOLDER NAME ONLY: I also find I can't search for a file using a folder name (for example, "John_Doe"). I can only search by file #, keywords, or camera/lens/date, etc. Why will it not work to use All Photographs>Text>search for Doe? In other words, if I didn't keyword the individual files as John Doe, I can't search for them by that moniker.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
FOLDER LIST PRINTOUT: Is there a way to print out the Folder list (other than a screen shot)? I have so many file folders on each drive since I sort not by Year/Month/Date but by subject. It makes trying to compare duplicate folders quite unwieldy.
SLOW RESPONSE: And finally, as though that weren't enough, why does LR4 continually blink to a white screen after each keystroke? Takes forever just to be able to click through images, view info after hovering, etc. All other programs are closed down and the operating system shows very little memory being used.

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Large line to internal tables from tab delimited file

Dear All
I am trying to upload the large file of tab delimited data into a SAP internal table. I am basically stuck with the fact that there are multiple lines and multiple columns in tab delimited file. There are around 300 columns which are tab delimited and separated
For e.g (* indicates tab)
1material*****************1**9888**********5**********34*********3*********346************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99338************4***********************************6************7************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**22888********************5*********7*********************6*****7**************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**44844************************5***5*********************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material***********34****1**54*******33********33*****33**************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
1material*****************1**99888*****************************************************************************-->upto 5000 columns
below upto 500 rows or more
I want to read this file into a columner internal table.
I am trying several ways . I have file on APP server. However Line breaks after 1024 characters or comes on another line.
Currently I am not able to load it in single line of internal table. The structure of file is dynamic .. not static

Hi Amolsonaikar,
you may try like this:
TYPES:
begin of line,
t_field type table of string,
end of line,
t_line type table of line.
DATA:
lt_line type t_line,
lv_line type string,
lt_field type table of string.
open dataset 'XYZ' for input in text mode encoding default.
while sy-subrc = 0.
read dataset into lv_line.
split lv_line at '|' into lt_field.
append lt_field to lt_line.
endwhile.

Issue related to Excel to Text tab delimited conversion

Hi,
I am facing a strange issue in converting an excel file to a text tab delimited file. I have an excel sheet which contains two columns:
vendor         new_zip
153357      99645-6340
162642         99669-7631
$209930-1   91320-1201
$209989-1   91710-5766
When i save this file as a text tab delimited file this is how it turns into:
    vendor new_zip
    153357 99645-6340
    162642 99669-7631
    $209930-1     91320-1201
    $209989-1     91710-5766
i am using WS_UPLOAD since i am not using the enterprise version of SAP. In the above mentioned u can see that the zip values(first character) of the first two records and the vendor numbers(last character) of the last two records get in line with each other. so when i load this file it gives a "File open error" exception. if i move the zip codes of the first two records by one space so that they are not in line with the vendor numbers of the last two records the file uploading happens fine. but this is something which cant be done from the user point of view. so can anyone tell as to what can be done without changing the concept of using text tab delimited file and aviod this problem?
thanks & regards,
Bala.

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action

Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.

George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Running OCR on Combined document saves no text to .txt file

I am scanning in a large 500 page document, running OCR on it and saving the data to a text file for my program to process.
My network printer/copier/scanner can only read in about 70 pages at a time, so I scanned in as several PDF documents, which I saved to disk.
I Recognize Text in Multiple Files using OCR... on all of the PDF documents, Saving-As Text (Accessable) and it all works fine. I can then combine the text files in a text processor.
Then, I saw the Combine button, so I combined all of the PDF documents into a separate PDF file and ran OCR on it, but the resulting .txt file is blank! If I run the OCR manually, I can highlight the extract text, but when I try to save as Text (Accessable), it still fails to save any data to the .txt file.
Is this a known problem?
I am running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Version 9.4.5.
Thanks.

gilgad2000,
It depends on your VI. If you are using the "Path Control" tool, you can open its "Browse Options" and write .txt at the Pattern box.
If you are not using it, you can also concatenate a ".txt" string at the end of the file path (use "Strip Path", "Concatenate Strings" and "Build Path" functions) just before using it on the saving function.

Is there a way to import/export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

It seems like Pages is starting to get funtionality that might help wean me off of Excel. In this vein, is it possible to import or export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

I had some success in Pages 1, but I've only tried a couple of times so far in Pages 2 without success. The trick was to make sure the table is the exact number of columns wide. It's very "klunky" but I've ended up converting the tab-delimited text to a table in AppleWorks, saving the AppleWorks file with the table as a "floating" object (fixed objects don't translate) & opening the file in Pages. It's quicker & easier for most of what I do to just drag & drop in Pages.

Discover Plus - Export to Text Tab delimited is not exporting all the rows

Hi gurus,
I am trying to export a large data report which has 1 million plus rows to text tab delimited. The export takes 9 plus hours to export and the data is not more than 100000.
My question is
1. How can I make the discoverer to export it quicker or rather faster to tab delimited.
2. Where can I change the number of rows to be exported.
Any help, suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks,
SAI

Hi Rod,
Yes. The text tab delimited export is taking lot of time. The total rows for this report are nearly 1 million. If I break down the report with condition and export it I was able to export it ( three files exported with 212000, 103000 and 687000 rows respectively).
But I m still having problems exporting it in one shot. Is there any way I could resolve this? Please let me know.
Thanks,
SAI

More than 1 line of text when using text generator from file?

hi
have 8 line blocks of text to show onscreen.
would like to use text generatorn>from file
all they seem to print is one line.
is there a work around?
have trhied soft returns and paragraphs on saved text file.
no change.
anyonre know how to get 2 or more lines of text?
thanks in addvance!

Select the File generator layer and in the Inspector, select the Layout pane and in Layout controls, set the Layout Method to Paragraph. Narrow your margins and the text will "flow" into multiple lines.
You can also keyframe the paragraph layout position. [Probably more info than you want here.]
That said, you can only display *one line* at a time per File Generator. (If you're up to date with Motion [v5.1.2], you can use more than one File generator.) The generator does not accept any other characters for returns other than newline and carriage return.
I've never tried it, but thinking about it, you can set Tab stops in the Paragraph layout (double click in the layout rectangle and a ruler should appear over the top -- right click on the ruler to set tabs). If you go back into the original text file and where you need to break lines into two or more, setting a left tab stop in the layout very near the end of a line might force the tabbed text into the next line (did I make that clear enough??)

Formatting a tab delimited file

Hello All,
I am populating a tab delimited text file with data from a resultset and I'm having problems lining up the columns properly. I tried using tabs, but the variable length of some of the entries are messing up the positioning of the data. Is there a way to create tab delimited fixed length fields with column headers? or is there some better way to do this in general?
Thanks,
James

I got it working using StringBuffers. Where I missed it was that the formatting of the text of the report originally didn't work under the
code. It was being automatically formatted when it was passed as a message in an email under javamail. I had forgotten that Outlook will do that on it's own. When I tried to make the report an attachment, the defect in the formatting became apparent.
I also got it working (better solution) using POI. That way the attachment is an .xls file, rather than tab-delimited file.
FYI,
James

Inserting a tab delimited file

Hi there,
I am inserting data into a database from text files. I can easily do this in sql with csv files but I need to be able to do it with tab delimited files. I know you can do this from the built in Oracle tool (I am using express edition) but I was wandering if anyone know how to write a script for it in sql.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you are using SQL Loader to load the data use below syntex
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'9'
The X'9' is Hexadecimal Format -> X
and Hex 9 is the ASCII code of the TAB character.
Check out the link for more details:

Export as Tab Delimited File

Is there any methodology whereby a file can be exported, or saved, as a Tab Delimited File?
Thanks

Select All
Copy
Paste in a Pages document
Export as text.
Other way (my preffered one) :
Select All
Copy
run this Script :
--[SCRIPT clipboard2textFile]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script :clipboard2textFile.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
Copiez la table à exporter dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
Le script créera un fichier TSV (valeurs séparées par TAB).
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script :clipboard2textFile.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
Copy the table to export into the clipboard
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
The script will create a TSV file (Tab separated values).
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Download Tab Delimited file from spool!

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to download tab delimited txt file from spool?
Spool is created for Statements and Invoices from Sap Script and Smartform which is in OTF format.
I am able to download this in Text file but I need this file in tab delimited format.

I don't understand what you want to do as it seems impossible : the spool contains miscellaneous data, not compatible with tab delimited files which are used to store 2-dimensional tables (columns, rows).

Combine Text (tab delimted) files, if there is a duplicate do calculation
