Data management - Export Data on a text file and work on Excel/Acces

Hello,
When i use the Data Export tool in order to retreive all Accounts data, the CRM creates a txt file with more than 255 columns (number of record type by account). Then I can't import them in a new Access database because Access import tool do not accepts too many columns. So, i try to open it in Excel by import text file. However, some Accounts have a comment in a large text field and, when Excel converted the text file, datas are shifted compared with the column headers because of this specific "comments" record type.
Is someone knows whether it's possible to reduce the number of record type exported by selecting specific ones or knows a process to import on Excel/Access which resolved this problem of position ?
Regards,
Guillaume

Guillaume, you can create a historical account report and specify the fields you want and then download to Excel. Also, if you use the export utility which provides a CSV file format with more than 255 columns, delete the columns you do not want to get it under 255 and then convert to Excel.

There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
Use of local variables to populate an array.
Cannot insert values into an empty array.
What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

Compare data from 2 text files and output match

Hi all,
I need some advice.
Firstly in BinaryCode.txt the data is as such:
Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Replace BinaryCode1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
Replace BinaryCode1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
the first line in the text file is the header. So I need to check if the names in the second column (BinaryCode0 or BinaryCode1)appear in the Timed_Sets.txt file.
The data in Timed_Sets.txt is as such:
BinaryCode0,6,40,.........................
BinaryCode0,7,40,.........................
BCName1,0,20,.............................
BCName1,1,20,.............................
For example since BinaryCode0 is a match I will output the entire row in Timed_Set.txt to another array.
I have been working on a program but I don't get the expected output.
The text files and the VI are attached.
I appreciate your kind assistance in the matter.
Thank You

If I understood correctly what the output should be then what you basically need to do is to walk through the column in BinaryCode.txt and for each unique value pull out the corresponding rows from Timed_Sets.txt. There's a variety of ways to do this, depending on how much data you have and whether or not you can use any kind of prior knowledge as to the actual file content (such as the names of the keys being searched). Attached is one way. Modify as needed.

It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

Shell scripts to read data from a text file and to load it into a table

Hi All,
I have a text file consisting of rows and columns as follows,
GEF001 000093625 MKL002510 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001

the whole application is deployed in unix and that text file comes from mainframe. am working in the unix side of the application and i cant access the data directly from the mainframe. so am required to write a script which reads the data from text file which is placed in certain location and i have to load it to oracle database.
so I can't use SQL * loader.
Please help me something with this...
Thanks in advance.

1. Create a dictionary object in Oracle and assign it to the folder where your file resides
2. Write a little procedure which opens the file in the newly created directory object using ULT_FILE and inside the FOR LOOP and do INSERTs to table you want
3. Create a shell script and call that procedure
You can use the post in my Blog for such issues

Read data from a text file, one line at a time.

I need to read data from a text file, and display each line in a String Indicator on Front Panel. It displays each line, but I get Error 4, End Of Line, unless I enter an extra line of data in the file that I don't need. I tried Read From Text File.vi, made by Nat Instr, and it gave the same error.

The Read from Text File.vi reads data from a text file line by line until the user stops the VI manually with the Stop button on the front panel, or until an error (such as "Error 4, End of file") occurs. If an error occurs, the Simple Error Handler.vi pops up a dialog that tells you which error occurred.
The Read from Text File.vi uses a while loop, but if you knew how many lines you wanted to read, you could replace the while loop with a for loop set to read that many lines from the file.
If you need something more dynamic because the number of lines in your files vary, then you could change the code of the Read from Text File.vi to the expect "Error 4, End of file" and handle it appropriately. This would require unbundling the error cluster that comes fro
m the Read File function with the Unbundle By Name function, so that you can expose the individual error "status" and error "code" values stored in the cluster. If the value of the error "code" is 4, then you can change the error "status" from true to false, and you can rebundle the cluster with the Bundle by Name function. Setting the error "status" to false instructs the Simple Error Handler to ignore the error. Otherwise, pass the original error cluster to the Simple Error Handler.vi, so that you can see what the error is.
Of course, if you're not interested in what the errors are, you could just remove the Simple Error Handler.vi, but then you wouldn't see any error messages.

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1

90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx

You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);

Need to read data from a text file

Pool data from text file and insert into database

Can anyone tell me how to pool data from a text file and insert into database?
let's say my text file is in this format
123456 Peter 22
234567 Nicholas 24
345678 Jane 20
Then I need to insert the all the value for this three column into a table which has the three column name ID, Name, Age
Anyone knows? I need to do this urgently...Thank in advanced

1. Use BufferedReader and read the file line by line.
2. Loop thru the file and do the following steps with in this loop.
3. Use StringTokenizer to seperate each line into three values (columns).
4. Now create a insert statement with these values and add the statement to the batch (using addBatch() method of PreparedStatement or Statement).
5. Finally (after exiting the loop), execute these batch of statements (using ps.executeBatch()).

Show us how you've read the data and what you've tried to do to parse it. Once you've got the last rows, you can loop over them using Spreadsheet String to Array (after cleaning up a few messy spaces).
Jim,
I didn't know you're that active on here.
Yes, There will always be the same number of noise header information.

Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

Hi All,
I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
void ReadTextFile()
                    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                     InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                     char[] buf=new char[1024];
                     isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                     fstr=new String(buf);
                     String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                     while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                      pcode1=st.nextToken();
                           pname1=st.nextToken();
          price1=st.nextToken();
                          sname1=st.nextToken();
     } //close of while loop
                } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.

If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
MyClassName.pcode1;
MyClassName.pname1;
MyClassName.price1;
MyClassName.sname1

Data getting truncated while exporting report to a text file in crystal 10?

Hi All,
I am using crystal 10.When exporting report to a text file ,a dialog prompts asking for Character perinch with a default value 9.If I change the value from 9 to 16 i am getting the correct data(that means character per inch value is 16) and it update "CharPerInch" value in registry under following location to 16.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Text
The dialog asked for character per inch also has option to select not to prompt again and i also selected that in first go.
When i export the report again in text format it didn't prompt for number of character per inch but the data gets truncated.
What i believe is even though it updates entry in registry and reads, it is not using the same value for export. It never consider the value that is in registry, if the check box is not selected then it is using the value entered in the dialog and if the check box is selected then in the next run it uses the default value as 9.
Can anyone suggest me how to override this problem ? Is there any other setting place in registry where i can enter the number of character per inch.I don't want to crystal to prompt always for character per inch.

Hi Venkateswaran,
The other option to avoid truncation of the data could be
Right click the text filed
Click on Format Text to open the Format Editor
On Common tab check the text box for Can Grow.
This will prevent the data from truncating in preview as well as while exporting to text.
Otherwise you will have to set the characters per inch to 16 each time. I donu2019t see changing the registry value causing any difference here.

Aditya Joshi

Error while loading data from a text file to a datastore

Hi all,
i am a starter in ODI. I am trying to load data from a text file into a datastore. I have put the file on a unix server whose location is defined in the topology manager. when i am trying to "view data" it is giving me error file does not exist at <location where i have put the file>. Please help me

Hi,
1. If your files are on a remote File System, you will need to copy one of your files to the machine ODI Designer is running on to allow ODI to retrieve the metadata information of the file.
2. In Topology create a Physical Schema, the directory you enter for Data and Work Schema should point at this local file.
3. Then define the File Datastore in ODI Designer. Enter a name, browse and select the file and fill in each filed of the Files tab.
* If its a Fixed file, click on the grid icon on the Columns tab to enter the columns and have Automatic Adjustment checked.
* If its a Delimited file, use the Reverse button on the Columns tab to reverse the columns.
* Right click on the File Datastore select View Data, if you can view data, that means the File Datastore has been defined correctly.
* If not, check each tab of the File Datastore to make sure everything is defined correctly and retry.
4. Once View Data is successful, you now change the directories (Data and Work Schema in Topology) to point at the remote File System. These directories must be accessible to the ODI Agent that will be used to run the transformations. The directory can be an absolute path (m:/public/data/files) or relative to the ODI Agent startup directory (../demo/files). It is strongly advised to use a UNC (independent from the execution location) for the path. When running the transformations with "no agent", the directory is relative to the directory where Oracle Data Integrator has been installed.
You need to have a agent process running at the system where your source file resides .
Then while running the odi interface choose that agent .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Data transfer from text file to internal table

Hi, i am uploading data from a text file to an internal table itab.
one of the field in the text file is in the format of p(7,2).
while uploading , this is not not getting uploaded correctly,
for ex instead of uploading 00008.00 in the itab, it gives a strange value of 30303030382>3.03. how to correct this?

Hello Rahul,
Do the following:
types: begin of ty_upload,
         string type string,
       end of ty_upload.
types: begin of ty_fields,
         text1(20),
         wert      type p decimals 2,
         text2(20),
       end of ty_fields.
data: it_upload type table of ty_upload,
      it_fields type table of ty_fields,
      wa_upload type ty_upload,
      wa_fields type ty_fields.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                      = 'C:\aa_upload.txt'
   FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
IMPORTING
FILELENGTH                    =
HEADER                        =
tables
    data_tab                      = it_upload
EXCEPTIONS
FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
Populate the internal table it_fields accordingly in a loop run, e.g.
loop at it_upload into wa_upload.
wa_fields-text1 = wa_upload-string(20).
wa_fields-wert = wa_upload-string+20(10).
wa_fields-text2 = wa_upload-string+30.
append wa_fields to it_fields.
endloop.
When your offsets are set correctly, there shouldn't be any problem.
