Concacenate Many Columns text into one Column

Hi,
I have many columns with text in it. I would like to ideally concatenate these column content into just ONE column.
Please help work out how to do this as I have no idea.
I am somewhat familiar with CMD so if you can help with this urgently that would be SO awesome.
Thanks
:)

Thanks again...
So I want to display this data eventually on forms. So I think I do need to create a blank column.
so let's say I want the concatenated data to end up in "Final_Delivery".
How to do that?
Thank youI dont have any idea about Forms...But just a guess that for form as well you must be writing some SQL, and you can use the sql there directly. Otherwise if you want to get it inserted into new column in existing table....First you have to add a new column to your table and then run update Statement to populate that data..similar to this

How to merge many XML files into one?

Hi: I got a small project to combine many XML files into one and convert the combined XML file in Excel using AppleScript. My XML files look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>

    <day>15</day>

and like this...

I get many XML files like this. And I want them to be combined and shown like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <hour>16</hour>
    </job>
</Metadataobject>
And finally the combined XML file converts in Excel sheet with column headings "Job ID", "From", "Job Name" and so on...
Or there is another best way to get the same result...
Thanks

That is just an intermediary state to get to the excel version. Actually I get many small XML files (as shown above) from client and I want them all combined in an excel sheet with common column headings... like this...
from
jobname
pages
priority
timezone
year
month
day
hour
id

When converting dvds to ipod, how do you combine many video files into one?

Hello everyone! When i convert dvds to Ipod format (on windows using videora) the converter seperetly re-encodes severeal (about 4) .99 Gig files into smaller ipod videos. each file is about 30 minutes long, and i was wondering if all of them could be converted into one 2 hour movie file(star wars III if you're wondering). If there is a free way to do this (not quicktimePro)I would find that extreemly helpful.

As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.

Combining many small projects into one large project/executable - avoid VI conflicts

I have multiple small projects that have been done, and oru customer now wants them combined into a single executable, where you'd select which program you want to run and have it be launched. My initial thought was no big deal, create a new VI on which the user selects which program to run, and I just call that main.vi for whichever particular program they selected.
But wait, not so fast.
As soon as the particular smaller programs' main VIs are placed on a block diagram of a VI in this master project, all their dependencies are loaded into the project. Well, a lot of these smaller projects have typedefs with the same name, or even classes with the same name because they were all developed separately. It could be a mess and very time consuming to resolve all these conflicts right now.
I was thinking of doing something "plugin-like" where I include the smaller main VIs in the install, in some folder on disk, and they get called dynamically. Would this work? I have never tried it. Is there a better way?
There is also the idea of shipping multiple executables, and my "master program" calls a particular one using a command line prompt to run the exe.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Another option which should be simple in theory is setting up each project to build its VI as a packed library instead of an EXE. That way, all the VIs it calls should be fully namespaced and included and you can statically call the main VI in each packed library in your master project.
I have no practical experience with this, but it will mean that single EXE will now have to load copies of all the shared VIs.
Hm, this may work. I think I will take the exe approach for now and can adjust as necessary. Either way it's no different for the programmer, they still have to do two builds if a VI changes (the small project, then the main one). The separate exe's also solve the issue of config files which may or may not have the same names I can't remember. This way they are all in their own data directories instead of one top level data directory which could cause issues post-install.

Why is it that your "tedious" manual operation shows no parameters to the procedures while your extract_all procedure has parameters?
You need to call each of the individual procedures in exactly the same way as you do when you execute them individually at the command line. In your extract_all procedure, you are clearly not doing so, hence the "wrong number or types of arguments in call to"

Error when pasting 1K of text into a text area of tabular form

This appears to be a bug to me, put please offer suggestions if you have them....
Using apex with XE, I have created a table with two varchar2(4000) columns in them. The user will paste large blocks of text into one or both of them (e.g paste text copied from e-mail).
I created a tabular form and set the two fileds to display as "text area". Insert and/or update works fine unless I paste more than about 1 to 1.5 kbytes of text into one of these fileds, in which case I get a page not found error with the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/wwv_flow.accept
After the error page displays, I can hit the back button and then remove just enough text to get it to under the 1 to 1.5 kbytes and then either insert or update works fine.
One more bit of info. If I create a single row form then it works fine, it is only the multi-row tabular form that seems to have this issue.

I don't think the character set is the problem. I used a string of numbers 0123456789 and just copied and pasted it repeatedly to build up the text. The database character set is WE8MSWIN1252.
Regarding the apache log. I have to admit that I don't even know if I'm running apache. I am using a newly installed Oracle XE on a laptop in order to get some experience with application express. This app is the first one I've done. If someone will direct me to the log then I'll be glad to check it and post the relevent contents.
I signed up for an apex workspace and intend to see if I can recreate the error from there so I can see if the problem is just in the free version of apex that comes with the Oracle Express Edition for windows database.

How load text into dynamic text boxes from external file?

hi all,
my animation is very simple - a background image and 2 text boxes. one of the textboxes shows a large word, which crossfades to another word, with a total of about 12 words (showing one at a time in different text boxes fading in & out in the same spot).
i need a way to have the text be imported dynamically via xml or json (xml preferred). this article is a good start, but i noticed he's putting all of the text into one box - i need separate strings put into separate boxes from the xml.
Chris Gannon - Loading XML via AJAX into Adobe Edge
he uses
var outputField = $(this.lookupSelector(“xmlOutput”));
for his text box. what would be the best way to revise this code to include all my individual strings to be loaded into my individual text boxes? thinking an array might work, but my js skills are limited.
any other suggestions or tutorials you could point me to would be appreciated.
thanks!!

thanks joel_pau !
this is helpful in seeing how the array is created, but after giving it a go I became a little confused.
i wound up trying it again based on the example i linked out to previously, but it's not adding the text from my xml file when previewing.
here's the code i'm using in edge animate on my stage. something must be wrong somewhere. let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
// here i'm assigning a variable to each one of my textboxes at they're named in my edge animate comp
var outputField1 = $(this.lookupSelector("helps2"));
var outputField2 = $(this.lookupSelector("communicate"));
var outputField3 = $(this.lookupSelector("experience"));
var outputField4 = $(this.lookupSelector("interact"));
var outputField5 = $(this.lookupSelector("understand"));
var outputField6 = $(this.lookupSelector("overcome"));
var outputField7 = $(this.lookupSelector("flourish"));
var outputField8 = $(this.lookupSelector("collab"));
var outputField9 = $(this.lookupSelector("trust"));
var outputField10 = $(this.lookupSelector("grow"));
var outputField11 = $(this.lookupSelector("engage"));
var outputField12 = $(this.lookupSelector("survive"));
var outputField13 = $(this.lookupSelector("thrive"));
var outputField14 = $(this.lookupSelector("evolve"));
var outputField15 = $(this.lookupSelector("connect"));
var outputField16 = $(this.lookupSelector("achieve"));
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "myxmlfile.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
//here i'm trying to load the the text in my xml file into my textboxes in edge animate. 'txt1, txt2, txt3' are the tags in my xml file
        outputField1 = $(xml).find('txt1').text();
        outputField2 = $(xml).find('txt2').text();
        outputField3 = $(xml).find('txt3').text();
        outputField4 = $(xml).find('txt4').text();
        outputField5 = $(xml).find('txt5').text();
        outputField6 = $(xml).find('txt6').text();
        outputField7 = $(xml).find('txt7').text();
        outputField8 = $(xml).find('txt8').text();
        outputField9 = $(xml).find('txt9').text();
        outputField10 = $(xml).find('txt10').text();
        outputField11 = $(xml).find('txt11').text();
        outputField12 = $(xml).find('txt12').text();
        outputField13 = $(xml).find('txt13').text();
        outputField14 = $(xml).find('txt14').text();
        outputField15 = $(xml).find('txt15').text();
        outputField16 = $(xml).find('txt16').text();
but nothing happens on preview. my textboxes still contain the original text that lives in my comp.

Uploading long text as one long text for the same records.

Hi,
i am uploading long text into one custom application.in that i had one issue,
I am uploading long text with the combination of material,palnt,division,sales organization and distribution channel.

in the above test data MATNR , VKORG, VTWEG records are same but TEXT is different.
Now my requirement is , i need to upload the data in to application as
MATNR    VKORG    VTWEG    TEXT

how can i handle it?

When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators. Excel allows you to do this during the import.. Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

Text flow into one or two column text boxes depending on the number of text lines

Question InDesignCS3
Is it possible to let text flow into one or two column textboxes depending on the number of text lines?
Example 1)
--Default text box--|
| Text line 1 |
| Text line 2 |
| Text line 3 |
| Text line 4 |
------------------- |
If there are more than 4 text lines in the in the text box, this box has to become a two column box. like example 2
example 2)
|Text line 1 | Text line 4 |
|Text line 2 | Text line 5 |
|Text line 3 | Text line 6 |

if (myTextFrame.lines > 4) {
myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 2;
} else {
myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 1;

Table has too many columns for one pg in InDesign document. How do I force a break?

I have imported an Excel table into my InDesign document. The table is 598 columns wide. Obviously this isn't fitting on one page. I want it to just keep flowing from page to page, keeping one same column at the beginning of each page (like "freeze panes" does in Excel) but it's not doing that. Is this possible in my InDesign document or will I have to manually copy and paste 10 columns at a time, which is about how many are fitting on one page? Any searches I do on this subject just talk about flowing rows but nothing about columns.

As far as I know there's probably no way ID is going to do what you want.
You can place a table across a multiple page spread, but the odds of being able to do that and still keep the file printable are marginal, at best. You can't for example, leave blank space at the gutters unless you are able to add a blank column that spans the gutter, and the limt for multipage spreads is 10 pages wide, whcih doesn't sound like it's probably enough to hold almost 600 columns.
Perhaps placing the table using named ranges of appropriate widths would work...

How can I select rows of cells and merge them vertically into one cell in each column?

I'm working in CS4 and need to be able to select 2 to 6 rows of cells (with many columns) in a table and then merge the selected cells vertically into one cell in each column. A few cells in the chart will not need to merge so I must select the ones that do. I have almost 100 pages of charts with cells that need merged this way by Tuesday. Please help!
Top chart example needs to change to the bottom example.

Merging rows into one row but into SEPARATE Columns

Hello Gurus,
I have searched alot on OTN and many other places, but no where I could get the solution of how can we merge rows into one row but separate column. For example
Consider the below scenario
"DEPARTMENT", "EMP","NAME","SUBJECT"
"Electronics","1","Sam","LIC"
"Electronics","2","Pam","VLSI"
"Electronics","3","Tom","C"
"Mech","1","Abu","Thermo"
"Mech","4","Lina","Machines"Now, I need the output like
Based on Department as Group By Clause
"DEPARTMENT", "EMP1","NAME1","SUBJECT1","EMP2","NAME2","SUBJECT2","EMP3","NAME3","SUBJECT3"
"Electronics","1","Sam","LIC","2","Pam","VLSI","3","Tom","C"
"Mech","1","Abu","Thermo","4","Lina","Machines"
The row data to be loaded into separate columns. Name of the column is not an issue... can be anythingIn all the forums which I went through I could find them loading into a single column, but not into respective separate columns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Frank,
I saw your name nearly n number of times, as I went through many forums today... And the link which you have just posted, I went through it today afternoon.
Could you please explain this bit taken from your dynamic pivot post.
SELECT     DISTINCT
     ',     COUNT (CASE WHEN job = '''
||     job
||     ''' '     AS txt1
,     'THEN 1 END)     AS '
||     job
||     '_CNT'     AS txt2
FROM     scott.emp
ORDER BY     txt1;Many Thanks.You only need that when you need column aliases based on the actual data (and you explicitly said you don't need that) or when can't put an upper bound on the number of columns to be displayed. If that doesn't apply to this problem, then don't use any kind of dynamic SQL (like the code above); it makes the job much more difficult, less efficient and less robust.
Here's what the code above is doing.
If you were hard-coding a query that showed the number of people in each job, and you knew that the possible jobs were 'ANALYST', 'CLERK' and 'MANAGER', then you might hard-code a query like this:
SELECT    deptno
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST' THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER' THEN 1 END)     AS manager
FROM       scott.emp
GROUP BY deptno
;If the jobs had different names, or if there were not 3 different jobs, then you would have to change the lines in the SELECT clause that start with ", COUNT ( CASE ...".
The code you posted is from an example of dynamic SQL, where you first run a Preliminary Query . (What you posted above is, in fact, the complete preliminary query.) The output of that preliminary query is exactly the variable part of the real query, such as:
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST' THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER' THEN 1 END)     AS managerYou then use this output as part of your main query. In other words, you can write something today that will generate exacrly as many columns as you need next year, with names from the data as it is next year. How? because you're not writing the full query today. The variable part will be written by the preliminary query when it runs next year.

Divide text into columns

I imported a tab delineated file into numbers and it put it into 1 column. The manual shows a menu bar Item "Divide text into columns" that doesn't appear on my tool bar. What now?

Mac,
Got it. Thanks for the explicit reference, that really helps.
I think the User Guide is a bit misleading there. The Guide is referring to the text in a Text Box and how you can format the box to display text in multiple columns, as in a newspaper page.
This feature doesn't parse your data into table columns, sorry. If you want to describe your data, we may be able to help with that.
It may be simple. Let's try the simple approach. If you Select and Copy the tab delimited data, then switch to a Numbers Table, click ONCE in a table cell and Command-V. Your data should spread across columns. If you click twice in a cell all your data will go into one column when you paste.
