Empty text files - dl.txt and t.txt

I recently found these files on my hard drive and wondered what they are. They are blank when opening in text edit. Could they be malware? I googles dl.txt and it seems to show up a lot in torrent sites. Neither me or my husband ever use these sort of sites.
Is it safe to delete these files (they are in the trash right now). Are there any other mysterious txt files I should be concerned about?
Thanks for the help!

Text files are not executable files so they are not going to do anything themselves. Short of having some sensitive info in them and you mailing them somewhere they aren't going to do anything.
One caveat in that statement. A text file could be an executable file but you would immediately know that because if you attempted to view it with a text editor it would look like gibberish to you, not a readable file. Further the executable flag needs to be set in the permissions. You can always view the permissions with the terminal ls command.
Here's some references about permissions:
Who Goes There? Understanding Permissions in UNIX
Understanding file permissions on Unix: a brief tutorial
Or just google "understanding unix permissions".
Note even if a text file is executable code, something or someone needs to launch it. For the case of "something" there would be other code somewhere in you system to do that. That other code would usually be launched from various places looked at when booting or logging in. Items that cause launches when booting will appear in the following directories:
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
Items that are launhed when you log in are in,
your login items
~/Library/LaunchAgents (in your home directory)
It is your login items and all these directories you should first look at for possible malicious actions. You probably already have stuff in some of these already because some applications use them to start helper processes to do their work. Don't worry about what you currently see. Only worry if you suspect malicious or just plain unstable behavior.

UserTable.txt and UserVariables.txt fields descriptions

Hello,
I would like to get UserTable.txt and UserVariables.txt fields descriptions. These two files come in the package.cab obtained from an ACS SE 1113 running V4.2. These files, which uses a CSV format, do not include a heading row with field descriptions, nor i found this information in the ACS documentation.
The reason for that is that we get a daily copy of package.cab, and from it we would like to write an application to generate a formatted daily report for every user with several fields including those:
Name
MaxSession
MaxSess2
Profile
Aging policy
Description
So far i was able to discover the columns for Name and MaxSessions. But not the other fields, which are probably also included in the UserTable and Uservariables text files.
Kind regards.

Dear Albert
Why not take a look at aaa-reports! enterprise? We can automatically import the cab file and pull out the data you're after.. plus more besides.

Exit FEB0001 is for developing a custom matching algorithm with number 901 ( and next) to be used instead of standard search algorithms like 001 ( docnumber and ref.number). So this has nothing to do with Multicash.
For your information. I use the next to test Multicash porcessing in SAP.
FF.5 with direct processing OFF and save the files to lacal disk. This is used to perform the translation of MultiCash to the SAP formats AUSZUG & UMSATZ. Be shure to have the right program assigned to FF.5, as you will see there is a large choice.
Next. use FF_5. to upload the AUSZUG & UMSATZ. the RFEBKA00 program that is behind this transaction is the main processing program. It reads the files and performs the posting, using algorithmes like 001 and 901 to find the open items that should be cleared wit the payment.

How to create empty text file on target system for empty source text file

Hi All,
I have an issue in handling empty file in the Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario. Interface picks text file and delivers on target system as text file. I have used FCC in both sender and receiver CCs.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system. I have setup empty file handling options correctly on both CCs.
But when I tried with an empty file I am getting the error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!'.
Could you please suggest me what I need to do to create an empty text file on target system from empty source text file?
Thanks in Advance....
Regards
Sreeni

the problem is that when there is an empty file there is no XML for parsing available. Hence in case you are using a mapping it will fail.
What ideally you should do is to have a module that will check if the file is empty and if so write out an XML as you want with no values in the content/fields.
Or the next choice would be to have a java mapping to handle this requirement. I guess that on an empty file the java mapping will go to an exception which you can handle to write out your logic/processing

Output .bat-file to console AND logfile.txt

Hello,
in my .bat file i have added the following to a command : >> c:\1.txt
This will log the output to 1.txt, but not to my console/screen anymore.
What is the command to have the output to the console AND 1.txt?
Thx

There isn't one that is intrinsic to cmd.exe. If you want you can either search for a unix TEE utility port to Windows or use the following hybrid VBS/batch procedure to do that ...
:: TeeExamp.cmd
@echo off
:: Setup
call :BuildVBS
:: Your command(s) goes here
dir *.txt | %TEE% > test.txt
:: cleanup & exit
del %temp%.\T.vbs & set "TEE=" & exit /b
:BuildVBS
set TEE=cscript //nologo %temp%.\T.vbs
(echo set con = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject"^)_
echo .opentextfile("con:", 2^)
echo do until wsh.stdin.atendofstream
echo s = wsh.stdin.readline
echo wsh.echo s : con.writeline s
echo loop
) > %temp%.\T.vbs

AllowedSWFdomains.txt and allowedHTMLdomains.txt files

We're trying to take a different tack in resolving our issue with offsite streams coming through our server.
in the /rootinstall/Applications/vod and live folders, there are two text files which when altered, purportedly should only allow flash within html pages, and swf files to only be allowed if they reside on computers on specified domains. (Files are mentioned here)
Am I understanding those files correctly?   I ask, because when I set them all by removing the asterisk from the last line, and repacing it with our domain.edu , i thought that meant that the server should only respond to swfs and htmls located on our domain computers....
In a simple test from home, I fired up an swf that I know calls an mp4 from our server. It played.   If I understand things correctly, it shouldn't have.
are the other switches to be thrown to make these files do what I believe their supposed to? or is this not their purpose?
Also... is that the only place they need to exist? or is it something you have to throw into every flash app folder on the server

I think we found a suitable solution to our problem. We edited main.asc to add an if/then block to set write access to the server.
    if(p_client.ip == '{our IP Address}'){
        trace('We are all good: ' + p_client.writeAccess);
    else{
        p_client.writeAccess = "";
So if they come from anywhere other then our IP, they can't publish. This doesn't reject the connection however, so they can still send stuff too our server...but it just doesn't go anywhere. If we could detect what they were trying to do before we accepted the connection, we would be able to reject the connect outright. Although, I haven't figured that out yet.
People should be able to modify that to block out ranges or domains as well. I made this change in the application.onConnect = function( p_client, p_autoSenseBW ) function call.
I will note however, that much hair was pulled until we realized that main.far overrode main.asc. Once we renamed main.far to main.farther, our main.asc code started working, and we were able to block. Just an fyi to save you time if you go this route. If you are doing more then simply streaming from your FMIS server (and most of you probably are) this is probably not a great solution.

Compare two text files in Powershell and if a name is found in both files output content from file 2 to a 3rd text file

Is it possible using PowerShell to compare the contents of two text files line by line and if a line is found output that line to a third text file?
Lets say hypothetically someone asks us to search a text file named names1.txt and when a name is found in names1.txt we then pair that with the same name in the second text file called names2.txt
lets say the names shown below are in names1.txt
Bob
Mike
George
Lets say the names and contents shown below are in names2.txt
Lisa
Jordan
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
Don
Joe
Lets say we want names3.txt to contain the data shown below
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
In vbscript I used search and replace commands to get part of the way there like this
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForReading)
strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "Mike ", "Mike 1112222")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close
That script works great when you know the name you are looking for and the correct values. Lets say someone gives you a list of 1000 employees and says import these names into a list in the correct format and one sheet has the correct names only and
the other sheet has lots of extra names say 200000 and you only need the 1000 you are looking for in the format from names2.txt.

Sure,
Here's a simple one:
$names1 = "C:\names1.txt"
$names2 = "C:\names2.txt"
$names3 = "C:\names3.txt"
Get-Content $names1 | ForEach-Object {
$names1_Line = $_
Get-Content $names2 | Where-Object {$_.Contains($names1_Line)} | Out-File -FilePath $names3 -Append
This basically just reads $names1 file, line by line, and then read $names2 file line by line as well.
If the line being evaluated from $names2 file contains the line being evaluated from $names1 file, then the line from $names2 file gets output to $names3 file, appending to what's already there.
This might need a few more tinkering to get it to perform faster etc depending on your requirements. For example:
- If either $names1 or $names2 contain a lot of entries (in the region of hundreds) then it will be faster to load the whole content of $names2 into memory rather than opening the file, reading line by line, closing and then doing the same for every single
line in $names1 (which is how it is currently works)
- Make sure that your comparison is behaving as expected. The .Contains method always does a case sensitive comparison, this might not be what you are after.
- You might want to put a condition to ignore blank lines or lines with spaces, else they'll also be brought over to $names3
Hopefully this will get you started though and ask if you have further questions.

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Importing text file into search and redact window.

I am in the search window under the search and redact tool. I
am trying to import a file that was originally an excel to populate the
search multiple words window. I read that text files can be imported. I saved the file as a text file but it does not import. I can import an adobe file but this gives me a list with a bunch of junk. What am I missing?

The dialog imports text files.
Make sure that the file you are importing is a text file and has one word in every line.

How to load a text file int JEditorPane and highlight some words (Urgent !)

I want to load a text file into a JEditorPane and then highlights some keywords such as while,if and else.I am using an EditorKit in order to style the JEditorPane. I have no difficulty while giving the input through the keyboard but lots of exceptions are thrown if i try to load the string from a file.

Hi,
I think the setCharacterAttributes(int offset, int length, AttributeSet s, boolean replace) will solve the problem.
You can create your own Styled Document and set it to the Editor Pane.

Getting empty log files with log4j and WebLogic 10.0

Hi!
I get empty log files with log4j 1.2.13 and WebLogic 10.0. If I don't run the application in the application server, then the logging works fine.
The properties file is located in a jar in the LIB folder of the deployed project. If I change the name of the log file name in the properties file, it just creates a new empty file.
What could be wrong?
Thanks!

I assume that when you change the name of the expected log file in the properties file, the new empty file is that name, correct?
That means you're at least getting that properties file loaded by log4j, which is a good sign.
As the file ends up empty, it appears that no logger statements are being executed at a debug level high enough for the current debug level. Can you throw in a logger.error() call at a point you're certain is executed?

Creating links to text files with Tomcat and JSP

I am trying to create links in a JSP page that bring up text files. Currently, the links point to a file format. When the links are clicked, however, the text files are not displayed in the web browser. When an "http:" format is used, the links point to terminal files that are not being written dynamically (and therefore are useless to me). So in short, I'm looking for a way to get these links to (1) point to text files on the network, and (2) get them to display in a new browser window. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
TGD

You cannot expect Tomcat or any J2EE Server to give access to the Network files.
You need to design a different way to give access to the Users.
What you can do is write a proxy (HttpServlet) which can pass a request parameter as the file name. The Servlet can read the file and then paint it in the Client Browser Window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,

Create a text file in KM and add the structure of a node

Hello Everybody,
could some one please advise on how do I write the data stored in my node (elements) as string into a text file? How can i create a text file and add the structure of my node to it? I can just walk through my node recursively.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Seed

Are you referring to a org.w3c.dom.Node?
In that case, the simplest approach would be to use KM's XML serializer (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04s/current/km/com/sapportals/wcm/util/xml/SimpleSerializer.html)

Formatting output to a text file (using FileWriter and PrintWriter)

Hi Folks
I am using the bit of code below to save output from a gui to a text file. The data is entered line by line in the form eg,
"one two three four"
"five six seven eight"
I am also reloading this data back in to a TextArea in the GUI for viewing if required. The annoying thing that upon reloading, the data appears in one long line. The TextArea does not offer a line wrapping facilty (well I don't know how to impement it, it exist). Consequently, I would be quite grateful if somone could come come to my assistance. Any of these would graciously appreciated:
1. Forcing the TextArea to word wrap
2. Manually inserting some type of newline character at the end of the outbound
text
3. Or any other procedure you experts can dream up :-)
Cheers
