CSV File in UTF-8

Hi all,
I want some clarification about CSV file. we using CSV file to upload data from us front end site to db(oracle db). First we read data from CSV file via java CSV reader, the problem is starts from here. The CSV file may be contain some foreign character (i.e. chines, Spanish, Japanese, hindi, arabic), We need to create the CSV file as UTF-8 format.So,
Step - 1 :we create a excel file and save as CSV format
Step - 2 the same file in open Edit+ and change the utf-8
Mean the file has been read in java CSV reader.
Otherwise suppose i changed the second step that is the file open in notepad and convert utf-8 mean this same file not recognized to read in java CSV reader
Please give some idea how to create CSV file in UTF-8 charset

If your input file is in csv format, try importing it directly into the database using SQLDeveloper. If you have a table created already, riight click on the table in the Connections navigator and select import data. On the first page of the wizard, select the correct encoding from the Encoding list. You should see the characters in the file displayed correctly in the bottom of the page. Select the other options like format, delimiiters and line terminators. When these options are specified correctly, you should see the file displayed as rows and columns in the bottom of the screen. Continue with the import using the wizard. If the table is not already created, you can right click on the table folder in the Connections navigator. The second page of the wizard will allow you to enter a new table name, the wizard will automatically create a column in the table for each column in the file and you can refine the column definitions using step 4, the Column Definition panel.

Reading/Parsing a CSV file in UTF-16 ?

Hello everyone,
I'm in rush to modify my current CSV file parser that works fine for files in UTF-8 , to be able to parse the UTF-16 as well, as far as I checked the sample plugins, didn't find any code,
Also how could have support for both encodings? to do this I need to recognize the encoding by reading the file first then decide how to read from stream, any advice/ snippet will greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm using this code to read a file
stream = StreamUtils::CreateFileStreamRead()
stream ->XferByte(aChar) // in a loop till find a eol char
I need to use to read the 2 bytes, i had some experiment with XferInt16 but seems it doesn't do what i want...
Regards,
Kamran

I had forgotten to skip the first two bytes in this case, Now I can read the file properly with XferInt16, also you may consider Byte Swapping for BigEndian in parsing process.

CSV file encoded as UTF - 8 loses characters when displayed with excel 2010

Hello everybody,
I have adapted a customer report to be able to send certain data via mail a a CSV attachment.
For that purpose I am using class cl_bcs.
Everything goes fine, but since mail attachment contains certain german characters as Ü, when displaying it with excel those characters appear as corrupted.
It seems the problem is with excel, because when opening the same file with notepad, the Ü is there. If I import the file to excel with the importer, it is correct too.
Anyway, is there any solution to this problem?
I have tried concatenating byte_order_mark_utf8 in the beginning of the file, but still excel does not recognize it.
Thanks in advance,
Pablo.

- Does ms excell actually support UTF-8
Yes. I believed that we installed some international add-on which is not in default installnation. Anyway, other UTF-8 or UTF-16 file can be openned and viewed by Excel without any problem.
- have you verifide that the file is viewable as a UTF-8 -encoded file
I think so. If I open it into Notepad and choose "save as", the file type if UTF-8 file
- Try opening the file in a program you are confident
that it support UTF-8 - eg. Mozilla...
I will try that.
- Check that your UTF-8 -encoded file has a UTF-8 identifier (0xFEFF ?)
as the first character
The unicode-16(LE or BE) file I got from internet, I found there is always two bytes in the front. (0xFEFF or 0xFFFE). My UTF-8 file generated by java doesn't have that. But should UTF-8 file also has this kind of specifcal bytes in the front? If I manually add these bytes in the front of my file using Ultraeditor and open it in Excel2000, it didn't help.
- Try using another spreadsheet program that supports UTF-8
Do you know any other spreadsheet program supports csv file and UTF-8.

UTF-8 csv file generated by Java can't be displayed correctly on Excel 2000

Hi, I have a question about the file geneated by Java in UTF-8 format. If I have a file named "foo.csv" generated by my java code like this:
writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("foo.csv"), "UTF-8");
Then I write some data loaded from a MS SQL 2000 server to this file. Some data are in German or french characters. After the file is generated, if I open it in notepad, all the characters in the file looks good. The file is in UTF-8 format. The only problem is that when I open this csv file in MS Excel 2000, all the non-english character display incorrectly. For example:
"VERKTYGSTEKNIK I V�XJ� AB" display as itself in notepad, but it display as "VERKTYGSTEKNIK I V��XJ�� AB" in the MS Excel. I don't know the reason. If I don't have the encoding in the writer, then the file generated looks fine in the Excel (Even the non-English characters), in this case, the file is generated in ANSI format. But my client wants the file in UTF-8 format and also want to view it in Excel.
Why the UTF-8 file generated by Java can't be displayed correctly in Excel 2000?
My environment is:
OS: Window 2000 Server English Version
JDK: Sun jdk1.3.1
Thanks

Can any version of Excel save to a CSV file that is either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded (unicode)?

Are there any versions of Excel (chinese, japanese, russian... 2003, 2007, 2010...) that can save CSV files in Unicode (either UTF-8 or UTF-16)?
If not, is the only solution to go with tab-delimited files (save as Unicode-text option)?

Hi Mark,
I have the same problem. Trying to save my CSV file in UTF8 encoding. After several hours in searching and trying this also in my VSTO Add-In I got nothing. Saving file as Unicode option in Excel creates file as TAB separated. Because I'd like to save the
file in my Add-In application, the best to do is (for my problem) saving file as unicode tab delimited and then replacing all tabs with commas in the file automatically.
I don't think there is a direct way to save CSV as unicode in Excel. And I don't understand why.

Inserting an image from a CSV file

I am trying to create a document that is a directory of members of a community. The directory is in a CSV file. One ot the fields is a @photos field that contains the path to the location of the images on my local compiuter, When I try and preview with the Data Merge panel I get the attached error message, The path reads:
/Users/jhaynes/Documents/Falcons_Landing/images
All the other fields preview correctly.

@Jim – the right syntax for your Mac OSX would be:
Macintosh_HD:Users:jhaynes:Documents:Falcons_Landing:images:jhaynes.jpg
: instead of /
Note: it's all case sensitive.
In my personal case the line above would not work, because in my system it's "Macintosh HD" (a blank between Macintosh and HD) instead of "Macintosh_HD" with an underscore. But this may vary…
It's amazing, that InDesign's datamerge functionality on Mac OSX relies on that old syntax, wheras you could go to your images folder in the finder with typing "Users/jhaynes/Documents/Falcons_Landing/images" in the Go To Folder dialog. Using the : syntax there would not work.
That leaves one question:
What to do with special characters in file names like umlauts äAöÖüÜ, accented ones like áàÁÀ etc.pp.?
Will they break that workflow on Mac OSX with HFS+ formatted volumes?
Very likely…
And that's because on Mac OSX umlauts and accented characters in file names are composite characters (made out of two glyphs) instead of single characters. But not only because of that…
Here an example:
You found out that the easiest way to get a file path is to drag a file to a pure text file opened in TextEdit App.
Fine. You now know, that all "/"-signs must be changed to ":". No problem with a quick find/change action.
Then you saved the file as pure text file with a txt suffix.
All good and well?
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
A simple "ö" in a file name could ruin your workflow!
Datamerge in InDesign would accept the text file as source, but would have problems to place the file with the umlaut. Precisely it will see the "ö" not as "ö" but as: "Äà"!
Ah! You think, the composite characters problem kicks in. And right you are.
No problem then: we could replace "ö" with our own typed "ö" in TextEdit.
But to our surprise datamerge get the following instead of an ö: "√∂". Another composite…
If you open the text file in TextEdit you cannot spot the difference.
You can only see there is the represantation of character "ö".
Here the solution to this puzzle:
Choose "Unicode (UTF-16)" instead of "Unicode (UTF-8)" when saving your text file to pure text in TextEdit.

Format of CSV file generated through iBot

What is the default format of csv file generated through iBot (UNICODE / UTF) ?
How can we configure a single iBot to generate CSVs, for example, in UTF format instead of UNICODE (assuming UNICODE is default).

Content:
Goal
Currently the CSV format in Agents always delivers the report results in tab delimited CSV. Is there a setting that can make the report result in a comma delimited CSV format when the reports are setup via Agents/iBots?
Fix
There is no setting that would make CSV output from an iBot be comma delimited as opposed to the tab delimited output from the web UI.
There is an enhancement request for this functionality. for more information, see bug 13802667 - COMMA DELIMITED CSV FORMAT FOR AGENTS/IBOTS has been logged to include this feature in future release.
As a work-around, you can to run a custom script from an Agent to convert tabs to commas.

How can we export table data to a CSV file??

Hi,
I have the following requirement. Initially business agreed upon, exporting the table data to Excel file. But now, they would like to export the table data to a CSV file, which is not being supported by af:exportCollectionActionListener component.
Because, when i opened the exported CSV file, i can see the exported data sorrounded with HTML tags. Hence the issue.
Does someone has any solution for this ... Like, how can we export the table data to csv format. And it should work similar to exporting the data to excel sheet.
For youre reference here is the code which i have used to export the table data..
><f:facet name="menus">
><af:menu text="Menu" id="m1">
><af:commandMenuItem text="Print" id="cmi1">
><af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
>title="CommunicationDistributionList"
>filename="CommunicationDistributionList"
>type="excelHTML"/> ---- I tried with removing value for this attribute. With no value, it did not worked at all.
></af:commandMenuItem>
></af:menu>
></f:facet>
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Alex,
I have already visited that POST and it works only in 10g. Not in 11g.
I got the solution for this. The solution is :
Use the following code in jsff
==================
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/csv; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
OR
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
And place this code in ManagedBean
======================
> public void test(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {
> DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
>DCIteratorBinding itrBinding = (DCIteratorBinding)dcBindings.get("fetchDataIterator");

>PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outputStream);
>out.print(" ID");

>out.print("Name");
>out.print(",");
>out.print("Designation");
>out.print(",");
>out.print("Salary");
>out.println();
preparing column data

>out.print(dto.getDesgntn());
>out.print(",");
>out.print(dto.getSalary());

Issuse in Uploading a .CSV file from AL11 to Database table.

Hi All,
I have a .CSV file (UTF-8 format) which contains Chinese Characters.
I uploaded the file to AL11 and it shows that all teh data is correct in AL11.
Now i am using a program to Read file from AL11 and update a ztable but some of the characters are
modified and some are getting saved as junk characters.
Kindly let me know what can be done.
Regards,
Jose

Jose,
The issue is pretty much clear. Ask the IT team to change the regional settings for languages. Normally we don't have
access to Korean, Traditional chinese....etc.
You might be getting characters/symbols as ?? ##. Go ahead and change the regional setting.
This will solve your issue.

How to display data from local csv files (in a folder on my desktop) in my flex air application using a datagrid?

Hello, I am very new to flex and don't have a programming background. I am trying to create an air app with flex that looks at a folder on the users desktop where csv files will be dropped by the user. In the air app the user will be able to browse and look for a specific csv file in a list container, once selected the information from that file should be displayed in a datagrid bellow. Finally i will be using Alive PDF to create a pdf from the information in this datagrid laid out in an invoice format. Bellow is the source code for my app as a visual refference, it only has the containers with no working code. I have also attached a sample csv file so you can see what i am working with. Can this be done? How do i do this? Please help.

Hi,
I would recommend to use OPEN DATASET ... ENCODING UTF-8 ...
If your excel version is unable to open this format, you can convert from 4110 to 4103 with report RSCP_CONVERT_FILE.

Uploading CSV file problem

Hello everyone.
I have a minor problem in uploading CSV file to HTMLDB.
I don't know the exact reason, but HTMLDB threw
"ORA-20001: Unable to create collection: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" whenever I tried to upload my csv file. after a few repetition of deleting potential problem-causing columns and trying again, I found out the following:
when numeric value and character value are stored together in single column, the upload fails. For example, we have a column which stores the employee number. The employee number is just a sequential numeric value, however temporary employees have 'T' in front of their employee number, so it begins something like T0032 and so on.
So, then, I tried to enclose all the employee numbers which start with numeric value with " character, but that would just simply take too long to do it manually, and excel does not seem to support enclosing the values with " when it's saving the spreadsheet with CSV format.
So, I'm kind of stuck right now.
Can anyone give me a good way to deal it?
THANK YOU!

Thanks for updating my forum setting, my name is now clearly visible :-)
anyway.. I went back and tested couple of things...
It now appears that the problem is not caused from values inside the column... instead..
I believe the size of csv file with certain character set is the issue here...
This is a rough estimate, but file size larger than about 31.7 ~ 9kb caused errors IF THEY CONTAINED OTHER CHARACTER SET THAN ENGLISH.
here are informations about my setting:
1. Oracle database: initially 9.2.0.1 -> patched upgrade to 9.2.0.4
2. HTMLDB: 1.4.0.00.21c (downloaded from otn)
3. db character set : UTF-8
4. OS: windows 2000 (with up-todate service pack and
security patches and etc..)
5. system: toshiba tecra 2100 with 1GB ram and 40GB hdd
6. operation system locale: korean, south korea
I tried uploading many other files in both english and korean, which is my national language. The english csv file worked beautifully, without any file size limitations. However, when I tried to upload a file with
KOREAN characters in it, it failed.
Intrigued by this behavior I started to test the file upload with various excel files, and found out that..
1. english csv files caused absolutely no errors.
2. engilsh file with single korean character immediately
threw the error, if the size exceeded 31.8kb (or I
think the size is 32kb)
3. I tested korean file mixed english file, caused
the same error if the size exceeded 32kb.
the distribution of korean characters inside the
csv file did not matter, just don't go beyond 32kb!
Please reproduce this behavior (but I presume that some efforts will be required in order to reproduce this error perfectly, since it is not easy to obtain foreign OS in US regions.. is it?)
anyway, thanks for your quick reply, and
I hope this problem gets fixed, because in this manner,
I have to split my file into 32kb chunks!

Download data from db to CSV file and need to handle chinese character

Are you sure that you have set it on the response? You do not need to set it on the request. Have you read the article? Do you understand the world of characters? It look like you still don't understand it.
by the way, since csv is text file , how can I bold my University number??? in sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("University Number");Not possible with CSV since it is text/plain. Use real XLS if you want to add formatting to cells.

tried this but does not work...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://localhost:8080/pack1/importAction.action");
request.contentType="multipart/form-data";
in the interceptor it expects the request to be instanceof
MultiPartRequestWrapper...
Further the document says that FileReference.upload() and
FileReference.download() methods do not support the
URLRequest.contentType and URLRequest.requestHeaders parameters.
Any help ??
