Download tsv (tab separated values) to Appleworks spreadsheet

Previously was able to download data from an AOL portfolio directly into an Appleworks 5 spreadsheet operating an iMac with OS 9. Now using OS 10.4.6 and Appleworks 6.2.9 on a Mac Mini none of the AOL options work. The other options for download are csv (comma separated values), qif (Quicken) and asc (Metastock).

I have a text.tsv file (Google calls it a csv, but
that's their error) which I feel I should be able to
just drop onto AW and have it open in a spreadsheet.
All I get is a couple of odd characters in the A1
cell.
Try dropping the file onto an open AppleWorks word processor document. If it is indeed a tab delimited text file, with no internal formatting information, you should then be able to copy it and paste into a spreadsheet.
Your comment regarding "a couple of odd characters in the A1 cell" indicates to me that there's more than simply text, tabs and returns in the file. If that's the case, you should be able to see the extra (often odd) characters in the WP document. If so, toggle 'Show invisibles' to on by pressing command-; (semi colon), then copy only the relevant text, tabs (will show as a right pointing arrow) and returns (will show as a reversed L haped arrow pointing left), and paste that block into your spreadsheet.

Import data from tsv (tab separated values) file

I have a large tab separated values file that I want to import into an oracle table so I can a) run queries on this data and b) split into smaller and more manageable files.
I'm very new to Oracle. I have installed 10g XE and sql_developer.
This tsv file has 3,684,011 rows. Maybe it could be imported into an Access DB then into Oracle, but that seems like extra work??

The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

I guess your question is, "what's wrong with the file?"
You're going to have to figure that out yourself, as we cannot see the file.
Importing into Address book requires either a tab-delimited or a comma-delimited file. You can export out of most spreadsheets into a csv file. However, you need to make sure you clean up the file first. If you have a field that has commas in the field, they will create new fields at the comma. So, some lines will have more fields than the others, causing issues like the error you saw.

Exporting Metadata (caption information) from JPEGS to a comma separated value (CSV) file

Here is my dilemma. I am an archivist at an arts organization and we are in the process of digitizing many of our materials to post them on the web and make them available to internet users. One of the principle components of our collection is a large trove of photographs. We have been in the process of digitizing these images and embedding metadata (in the Caption/Description, Author/Photographer and Copyright fields) via PhotoShops File Info command.
Now I am at a crossroads. We need to extract this metadata and transfer it into a comma separated value form, like an Excel spreadsheet or a FileMakerPro database. I have been told that it is not possible to do this through PhotoShop, that I must run a script through Acrobat or Bridge. I have no clue how to do this. I have been directed to a couple of links.
First I was directed to this (now dead) link: http://www.barredrocksoftware.com/products.html
The BSExportMetadata script allegedly exports the metadata from files selected in Adobe's Bridge into a comma separated value (CSV) file suitable for import into Excel, Access and most database programs. It installs as a Bridge menu item making it simple to use. The the Export Metadata script provides you with an easy to use wizard allowing you to select associated information about a set of images that you can then export. This script requires Creative Suite 2 (CS2). This script sounds like it does exactly what I want to do, but unfortunately, it no longer exists.
Then I found this:
Arnold Dubin, "Script to Export and Import Keywords and Metadata" #13, 8 Aug 2005 7:23 am
I tried this procedure, but nothing seemed to happen. I also tried to copy the script into the JAVASCRIPT action option in Acrobat, but I received a message that the script had an error. It also seems to me that this script does not set up a dumping point, that is, a file into which this information will be exported to.
I am a novice, not a code writer or a programmer/developer. I need a step-by-step explanation of how to implement this filtering of information. We have about 2000 jpeg and tiff files, so I would rather not go through each file and copy and paste this information elsewhere. I need to find out how to create a batch process that will do this procedure for me. Can anyone help?

Hello -

Need help: GUI_DOWNLOAD and tab-separated in between fields.

hello everyone,
this is the layout of the interface that i created:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<tab>name<tab>error message<tab>otherfieldshere
i wanted the error log to be saved locally thus, i have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD.
ok, here's the current parameters i supplied with my gui_download:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            filename                    = v_file_string
            filetype                      = 'ASC'
            write_field_separator   = 'X'
       TABLES
            data_tab                    = i_error_log
(exceptions not displayed)
the problem that i have is that, there is a difference between the error logs displayed after the execution and the error logs saved in my local directory.
i did find a way to resolve this BUT, i still need to refine it. also, the spaces between the fields seems not tab delimited, but separated by space.
to explain further here's the current error log that i have downloaded:
10000001<tab>10/23/2006<tab>01<tab>P<tab>11<tab>01
the header:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
is not included in the downloaded errorlog file.
i added some modification of my report to include it because, i want to to look exactly the same as of the errorlog generated/displyed after the execution.
the result looks as it is what i've expected BUT,
when i checked the spaces in between fields...
it is all separated by spaces... not tab.
here is the actual error log that i have obtained:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<space><space><space>name<space><space><space><space><space><space>error message<space><space>otherfieldshere
What i wanted to resolve is that, i want the error log to be tab delimited and not separated by space.
is this possible? if it is, any suggestion will truly be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check your flat file i think it they have used the Three spaces instead of using a SINGLE TAB. between the fields.
Thanks & Regards,

I want to get the result 'select * from table1;' into a tab separated file in oracle apex.

For client you could
- invoke call to Oracle Reports, where an .rdf is ready to generate one for you
- utilise download as csv option in interactive reports
- call page that generates csv using htp package (CSV Download without Header, possible?
- modify an interactive report to do a similar thing (http://www.talkapex.com/2009/04/custom-download-for-apex-interactive.html)

Save As… text in the File Format drop-down menu. You will need to add the .txt extension to the file name. AppleWorks won't do it for you & Numbers may not recognize the file as one it can open without the extension.

AppleScript & AppleWorks Spreadsheet

For years I have been using AppleWorks spreadsheets on my Quadra (ease-of-use, nostalgia, old habits die hard, etc.). After eventually deciding to transfer some of them to my G5 and work with them (as well as creating new ones) in a newer and faster environment, I started fiddling around with using AppleScript to automate some of the repetitive tasks within each document, especially for the new ones. One task appears to have either no solution or a particularly well-hidden one. Except for the example given here, all the other scripting is working to my satisfaction.
The relevant part of the script is:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    make new document at front with properties {document kind:SS}
    tell spreadsheet of document 1
        select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options"
    end tell
end tell
The line "select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" brings up a window as pictured here.
I would like to be able to use AppleScript to uncheck the checkboxes labelled "Row Headings" and "Column Headings" so that the whole script (of which this is only a small part), can run without ANY manual intervention. So far, no luck. The arrow keys and tab key (with and without modifier keys) have no effect within this window. If you hold down the command key for a a few seconds, the window displays command-key equivalents for the checkboxes, as pictured here;
Turning on GUI scripting by enabling access for assistive devices in System Preferences and using calls to System Events with various permutations of the "keystroke" command had no effect. To try to discover if the items in the window were actually UI elements and of what type, I used the "get entire contents of window ... " approach, which worked beautifully in the main document window. The calls I used, inserted after the line ""select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" and before the two "end tell" lines, were:
tell application "System Events"
     tell process "AppleWorks 6"
          get entire contents of window 1          -- each of these four lines,
          get entire contents of window 2          -- and other various similar attempts, was used by itself
          get every item of window 1               -- (all included consecutively here to save space)
          get every UI element of window "Display"
     end tell
end tell
The line "get entire contents of window 1" only took effect once the "Display" window had been dismissed, and then it quite happily returned the contents of the main document window. The others returned either: "System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" or "System Events got an error: Can't make every item of window 1 of process "AppleWorks 6" into type reference."
My guess is that the window "Display" is a modal dialog which is not letting anything else happen until it is dismissed. In the script, the next command after "select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" waits until the window has been dismissed.
I have also tried saving the document (once the row and column headings have been hidden) as a spreadsheet template. That ALMOST achieved what I wanted. The new spreadsheet template shows up in Starting Points as "Spreadsheet" with the previous (pre-defined) template being renamed to "Standard SS". When clicking on the new template in Starting Points, a new SS document opens up with the row and column headings hidden, but when a new SS document is created using AppleScript, it uses the pre-defined template (headings not hidden). So near yet so far!
If anybody has any suggestions, tricks and workarounds for both AppleScript and AppleWorks, I am willing to try them out.
If I can't get this (small) part of the script to work without having to use the mouse or keyboard, then it's not the end of the world. But I do like sitting back and watching the computer do what it is good at - repetitive tasks, etc. - from start to finish.
- - -    break for food and thought   - - -
While not having found the reason for AppleScript's inability to access the "Display" window, I have worked out a way to achieve what I want. Even though the AppleScript command "make new document at front with properties {document kind:SS}" causes AppleWorks to ignore the customized template document and use the original, pre-defined one, the following routine makes a copy of the customized template document, converts it from a stationery document (template), renames it and opens it.
tell application "Finder"
     set TemplateCopy to duplicate file "AppleWorks SS Options.cws" of folder "Templates" of folder "Starting Points" of folder "AppleWorks 6" of folder "Applications" of startup disk to desktop
     set stationery of TemplateCopy to false
     set NewFileName to "My spreadsheet.cwk"
     set the name of TemplateCopy to NewFileName
     open file NewFileName
end tell
One other approach which might have led somewhere was to explore the ability to prevent row and column headings from printing, even if they are displayed on screen. Scripting the print end of things may not have been easy, if possible at all, and would have required much more complexity in scripting. Also, I would prefer the screen display to match what is going to be printed.
The end result I wanted has been achieved, although using a different approach than I expected. Given the legacy status of AppleWorks 6 and its oddities of behaviour with AppleScript (even though much functionality was added and many bugs fixed from version 5), I doubt that the original approach will ever work, although if anybody has some ideas/knowledge, etc., I am willing to listen.

Scripting printing in AppleWorks
As a spin-off from my efforts described above, I think I have found a way of using AppleScript to save documents from AppleWorks as PDF's. At the moment the script is pretty wordy and maybe not as efficient as it could be, but it works (almost 100% of the time).
In the Print dialog, the tab key can be used to move between the various elements in the dialog. Depending on which one has been arrived at after each press of the tab key, you can select and do various things by using the space key, up and down arrow keys and the return key. I'm not sure if they can all be consistently emulated using the keystroke command from within System Events, as here I have restricted myself to just the tab, down arrow and return keys.
When the Print command is issued (via keystroke "p" using command down), the Print dialog opens up.
On my system, the number of copies is highlighted by default when the Print dialog opens and by pressing the tab key five times the PDF button is selected (although it's not all that obvious). The down arrow then activates the dropdown menu - press it again and the first item in that menu is highlighted. Press Return and that item is accepted and the Save dialog comes up.
On my system it takes one press of the tab key with shift down to move "back" from the Save As text field to the Save button (originally I had been using ten presses of tab in the "forward" direction), at which point Return selects it and the document is saved as a PDF. As with the Print dialog, the arrow keys, space key and Return can all be used to do/select various things along the way.
In the script I have inserted a number of delays to give things time to happen. Originally they were longer and allowed me to observe what was being selected at each emulated press of the tab key. Those that are one second or longer need, at least on my system, to remain fairly long otherwise I get errors such as "connection not valid" and the script hanging to the point where the only way out was to force quit. I would assume that some things are timing-dependent and need a specific amount of time before the next action can be performed. If anybody tries my script and finds odd things happening, I would suggest lengthening the delay times as the first thing to try. Also, on various System versions, there might be a difference in the number of tab presses required to move from the default highlighted attribute to the PDF and Save buttons.
The script as it stands at the moment requires at least one AppleWorks document to be open (and checks for that to avoid an error at the start). It could be modified to be a droplet (and possibly open only one document at a time from those dropped onto it, as AppleWorks would have a limit of how many documents it could have open concurrently), but I will get around to doing that later on.
The script itself:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    set HowManyDocs to count of documents

Tab Separated file for Sales Order creation

Hi,
I am creating a Z Report which intern calls BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 for creating Sales Orders.
Sales Order details I am giving through Tab Separated File which contains all details like
   1) Header Details
   2) Partner Details
   3) Item Details.
Can any one tell what is the process to convert this file to into Internal Table.....

This Example is only for three column. If there are more column you can check
"LOOP AT intern.

To read the values in the spreadsheet

Hi,
I have an excel sheet with some values quoted and ended with a comma at the end ( so as to place in the where condition of the sql query)
I need to use these values in the where condition of the sql query to get the result. I will use this query in the shell script.
How can i read each value from the spreadsheet.
Values in the spreadsheet:
'TT.1',
'TT.2',
'TT.3',
'TT.4',
'TT.5'
Please guide me.
Many thanks in advance.

Whats the file format? Is it XLS. If thats the case then you cant use External Table. You may need to go for Hetrogeneous Services. You can follow this link to know more about it
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4406709207206#18830681837358
On the other hand if your file format is CSV then you can go for external tables. Once you have your external table in place its just a matter of how you query it. But mind that the file need to be in the DB server and not on your client machine.

How do I get the downloads popup/tab to go back to the old place (on the left side?) Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved it over to the right

I would like to get the downloads tab to go back to the way it was, before this most recent update. Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved over to the right. The little hand won't budge it. And the download interface is different, now it is under something called 'library', I liked the old way much better - any way to restore it to that?

Can you clarify what you mean with ''downloads popup/tab''
Is this the pop-up that you see when finishing a download or do you mean the pop-up you see if you hover a link?
When a download is in progress then you see a download progress bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
