Create new text file in UTF-8 format by default

I'm working a lot with UTF-8 text files and mainly in this format. It's becoming annoying when I have to manually save every text file as UTF-8. After several trial-and-errors, I've made up a procedure that I've put in a blog. I think I could share
it here for those who need it. Hope it helps.
http://instrumenti-meliora.blogspot.com/2014/04/create-new-text-file-in-utf-8-format-by.html

You've made a procedure?
Are you sure you didn't :
Didn't what?
https://www.google.com/#q=change+notepad+default+encoding
Well, I'm not sure what you want me to see, but your search keywords do
NOT make sense. You do note change *Notepad* default encoding. What you can change is a
TEXT file's default encoding.
Well, of course, if you have access to Notepad source code and you're able to change it and re-compile again, then you could really say you change Notepad's "default encoding", which I suppose would mean "default encoding every time we save".
Why wouldn't you just provide a link (or some attribution) to the top result
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/default-utf-8-encoding-for-new-notepad-documents/525f0ae7-121e-4eac-a6c2-cfe6b498712c
or a link to watch this done on youtube?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnL6smxQE9k
The title of that forum post and Youtube video is a non-sense. New
"Notepad" document? Come on! That's apparently how a newbie think what it is and it's very likely he has not a clue what it is and what he is doing. And what if I don't use Notepad to create such file? If I
use UltraEdit, then mine should be "UltraEdit" document and that should be different from Notepad document, correct? LOL
The fact that you're able to find this video would also mean you're thinking like him in that the file is really called Notepad document LOL
For your information, that's called a text file (or document if you prefer this prettier term). It's also called plain text file.
Now, let's see the content of both links:
First of all, why did they tell people to create a new text file somewhere and then
COPY it to template folder? That's really so dumb
LOL Isn't it more intelligent to create such file directly INSIDE the folder?
Secondly, their procedures are not foolproof. What if the Windows directory is not c:\windows? They should tell people to open %Systemroot%\ShellNew instead. I suppose they don't even know how this folder is called because
nowhere is the term "template folder" ever mentioned.
Thirdly, what if that folder doesn't work for unknown reason (which might happen in XP)? Did they give any hint to a "failover" folder? No, they didn't. But I do in my procedure.
Fourthly, they are saying as if the file name has to be "TXTUTF-8.txt", but actually we can call it whatever we like. But smart people would have figured this out at the end.
5 (I'd stop saying fifthly and so on LOL) I'm not sure it's necessary (or recommended) to change "fSavePageSettings" & "fSaveWindowPositions" DWORD values for Notepad as "advised" in that answer.
As a side-note, I don't know what
http://www.pc1news.com/saving-changes-to-notepad-configuration-1216.html is supposed to give but when I open this, I got some uTorrent warning. Really seems like some malware webpage which tries to deceive people!
I actually searched how a (generic) new file is created and started from there.
So, maybe next time when you want to criticize or discredit somebody else, try to be more expert first? ;)

Creating new text file (txt.) everytime a string is passed in

Dear all, need some help from you all. I am now developing a web service program to allow users to type in a string of characters. And will need to create txt. file to store this strings. Currently, i hard code the directory and the name of the txt file (e.g C:\\test.txt) does anyone know if possible solution to create new txt. file (using different names) whenever a string is passed in from the web service? I am using J2EE as programming language and BEA Workshop for Weblogic Platform version 10.
Thank You very much.

well, make the name as argument.

My problem:
1)
I am not able to write to the file. I want to know, where i am going wrong.
It is giving error message like
"Canot resolve Symbol: temp,"
But, FileWriter Constructor should accept a File type parameter.
here temp is a file parameter.
If i am not using file=new file();
i can't delete the file after the use. i.e if i use
PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
how can i delete cute.txt after the use?
2)
I am not able to write to the text file. file is created but, a blank file.
"Hello" is not written into the text file.
can anyone help me in this regard
Thanks in advance
Ashvini

Thank you Ram,
But, i want to create a text file in Append mode.
for that i used
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); But, it is not accepting FileWriter constructor in
this format. if i use
FileWriter fos = new
FileWriter("c:/ash/cute.txt",true); it works fine. !!!!!Here's the javadoc
public FileWriter(File file,
boolean append)
throws IOExceptionConstructs a FileWriter object given a File object. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning.
Parameters:
file - a File object to write to
append - if true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning
Throws:
IOException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason
Since:
1.4
Are you using jdk.13 or lower ?
>
ONe more doubt, Does flush method deletes a file?
if not, then i need to use
File temp=new File("c:/ash/cute.txt");
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); //which
is again a problem
if(temp.delete())
out.println("File is deleted");
}I don't know whether i am taking it wrong ! or
anything wrong with my coding ! but, after creating
and writing data into a text file. I must delete it
as it contains confidential informations.
Regards,
Thanks.'flush' writes to a file immediately. Else you should explicitly call 'flush' to write contents from buffer to underlying source.
javadoc again
PrintWriter
public PrintWriter(Writer out,
boolean autoFlush)Create a new PrintWriter.
Parameters:
out - A character-output stream
autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the println, printf, or format methods will flush the output buffer
cheers,
ram.
Question; What do you gain by opening a file, writing to it and deleting it in the same program ?

Using AppleScript to create a text file, based on an OCR'd file's content

Hey guys, I've got an interesting situation.
I was wondering if there would be anyway to use something like AppleScript (or the like) to create a text document and fill it with information based on what is found in an already OCR'd file?
For example: I have a paycheck stub. The stub contains the words "Gross Pay" and the value "$xxxx.xx" on one line. Using Hazel to identify paychecks (based upon filenames), could I then use something like AppleScript, to create a new text file, and then pull the text from the line that contains the word's "Gross Pay" and insert it into the text file's next line?
Ex:
March 26,2012
Gross Pay                   $xxxx.xx
April 6,2012
Gross Pay                   $xxxx.xx
Kind of how TurboTax's iPhone app pulls text from an image, then uses the values to insert it into the app's appropriate fields?
I know this may be a lot to ask, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!

OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.

look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

Add date to new text file name and generic text in body

Okay, I hope this is the right forum. To help manage and keep track of incoming assets/files and I created an Automator workflow with the following: "Get Selected Finder Items → Get Folder Contents → New Text File (w/Show this action when the workflow runs so I can give a unique name).
This creates a text file with the folder contents listed in the body.
I would like to know if I can do two things:
1. Automatically add a date/time stamp to the Save as field so it will automatically have a unique file name?
2. I also want to add text before the listed contents within the text file. (e.g.: Let's say the folder contents are Volumes/Mac HD/Generic_movie.mov. I want the final text to read:
"The following file has been moved to the local volume at: Volumes/Mac HD/Generic_movie.mov"
Is there a way to accomplish either one or both of these with Automator or AppleScripts?
Thanks.

I would like to know if I can do two things...
This might address your first concern:
*1) Get Selected Finder Items*
*2) Get Folder Contents*
*3) New Text File* -- select a destination folder and check *Show Action When Run*
*4) Rename Finder Items:*
Choose *Add Date or Time* from the popup
Date/Time: select Created, Modified, or Current - Format: *Month Day Year*
Where: *After name* - Separator: *Forward Slash*
Separator: Space - check *Use Leading Zeros* (optional)
*5) Rename Finder Items:*
Choose *Add Text* from the popup
Add: *" at"* -- put a leading space before "at" (without the quotes), and select *after name*.
*6) Rename Finder Items:*
Choose *Add Date or Time*
Date/Time: Current - Format: *Hour Minute Second*
Where: *After name* - Separator: Dash
Separator: Space - check *Use Leading Zeros* (strongly recommended)
+--- End of Workflow ---+
Save the workflow as an application and use it as a droplet. Drop a desired folder onto the saved applet and enter a name when the dialog appears. The new text file, which will be found in the destination folder, should be appended with a date and time stamp, e.g., *"My Folder List 7/8/2010 at 23-54-09"*
Tested using Mac OS 10.4.11 and Automator v. 1.0.5
Good luck; hope this helps.

Write file in UTF-16BE Format

I am programming web page that runs SWF file (Flash movie) and servlet.
The SWF file sends with URL command data to the server.
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://�", result_lv, "POST");The data at � UTF-8 (UTF-8 is the standard encoding for exchanging text, such as online mail systems. UTF is an 8-bit system.).
At the servlet in doPost command I get the data with
String temp = request.getParameter("smstext");I need to write the parameter �temp� into file in UTF-16BE Format, how I do it?
I try almost everything

Once you've got a String, you can get bytes corresponding to a specific encoding with the getBytes(String charset) method.
In your case:byte[] bytes = temp.getBytes("UTF-16BE");Then you may write those bytes to a file using a FileOutputStream.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.lang.String)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html
You should obtain the same result with an OutputStreamWriter, for which you can specify the encoding in the contructor, and then write the String directly:OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName), "UTF-16BE");http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/OutputStreamWriter.html

Writing files in UTF-8 format

Hi,
Our system is unicode enable and I want to write a file in UTF-8 format.
I'tried the following syntax.
OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
and OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING default
But when I check the file, it is in ANSI format. Is there a way we can force the system to write it in UTF-8 format?
Thanks,
Ramesh

However, I like to mention that the file created from out ECC 5.0 (6.40, non-Unicode) contains a special character between the XML header and the data part (when displayed using NotePad Editor):
...xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>[special character]<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/a...
Using a HexEditor the special character (0x0A) is displayed as a dot.

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

How to create a text file or XML file and add content through code into it...

Hi Everyone,
How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

I was given an assingment, but have no idea where to begin. The assingment is to create a text file using notepad with all of my digital inputs and some how make those imputs show up on my digital indicators on my control pannel

When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

StevenD: FYI, I did NOT give you the one star rating. I would never do that!

Well, this is an assignment, so it is probably homework.
Why else would anyone give HIM such an assigment, after all he has no LabVIEW experience and the tutorials are too hard for him?
This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
(are you still following?)
look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

How to Create a text file through Portal

Hi,
Is there any way to create a text file(e.g Excel file) through Portal? Thanks.
Sumita

I have a way to do this in VBScript, I don't know if it will work with the portal but the steps are simple. If you can create a text file within portal, try to create it as an html table:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Column Header 1</td>
<td>Column Header 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Value 1</td>
<td>Value 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</table>
When you create this file save it with XLS extension instead of TXT, create a link to it and voila! it will load Excel and you will have your data well formatted. I found this method rather better than save the file as a CSV. You can also include any html attribute inside the <TD> or <TR> like background color and font type, Excel will keep those attributes.
I hope this will help
Arturo
