Export Excel Table in .txt File with space delimited text in UNICODE Format

Hi all
I've a big unsolved problem: I would like to convert an Excel table with some laboratory data in it (descriptions as text, numbers, variables with some GREEK LETTERS, ...). The output should be a formatted text with a clear structure. A very good solution is
given by the converter in Excel "Save As" .prn File. All works fine, the formattation is perfect (it does not matter if some parts are cutted because are too long), but unfortunately the greek letters are converted into "?"!!!
I've tried to convert my .xlsx File in .txt File with formatting Unicode and the greek letters are still there! But in this case the format is not good, the structure of a table is gone!
Do you know how to save an Excel file in .prn but with Unicode formatting instead of ANSI or a .txt with space delimited text?
Thanks a lot to everyone that can help me!
M.L.C.

This solution works in Excel/Access 2013.
Link the Excel table into Access.
In Access, right-click the linked table in the Navigation Pane, point your mouse cursor to "Export", and then choose "Text File" in the sub-menu.
Name the file, and then under "Specify export options", check "Export data with formatting and layout".  Click "OK".
Choose either Unicode or Unicode (UTF-8) encoding.  Click "OK".
Click "Close" to complete the export operation.

  • Export Report to flat file with spaces

    I have a report that is several columns wide. It queries data from our SQL based accounting package to create a flat file with spaces(must be accurate). When we go export the file we don't get all of the columns. Any ideas?

  • Exporting R3 tables into Flat Files for BPC

    Dear BPC experts,
    I understand currently the way for BPC to extract data from R3 is via flat files. I have the following queries:
    1) What exactly are the T codes and steps required to export R3 tables into flat files (without going through the OpenHub in BI7)? Can this process be automated?
    2) Is Data Manager of BPC equivalent to SSIS (Integration Services) of SQL Server?
    Please advise. Thanks!!

    Hi Soong Jeng,
    I would take a look at the existing BI Extractors for the answer to Q1, I am working on finishing up a HTG regarding this. Look for it very soon.
    Here is the code to dump out data from a BI Extractor directly from ERP.
    You need dev permissions in your ERP system and access to an app server folder. ...Good Luck

  • How to delete the file with space in name

    Hi
    I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
    i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
    /bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
    I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
    String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    process = rt.exec(cmd);
    The file was not deleted.
    How to delete the file with space in name?
    Help me

    Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
    arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
    arr[1] = "-f"
    arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

  • How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

    Hi everyone
    How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
    thx 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As far as I know, a text file has no columns.  Please be more specific.  Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character?  You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space.  This will produce a 2D array of strings.  Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

  • Runtime.exec() - using cp and files with spaces on unix

    I'm using the Runtime.exec method to copy files in a unix environment. This works fine until there is a file where the name has spaces in it. I've read the article on the pitfalls of using runtime and how it breaks a string on white spaces and this is what is happening. I've also found another topic that was having the same problem, but they were using /usr/bin/dos2unix. I've tried putting quotes around the filename, but it still breaks on the first space. Any suggestions on how to get around this or another way of doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    An example of the os command string is:
    /usr/bin/cp /tmp/file with space.doc /docs
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    Well I dont have any Sun machine right here to try this but in windows It works great.
    Have you tried something like this ?
    import java.io.*;
    public class OSCopy {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                String space = " ";
                String copycmd = "E:\\cp.cmd";
                String source = "E:\\File with space.txt";
                String destination = "E:\\tmp";
                String cmd = copycmd + space + "\"" + source + "\"" + space + destination;
                System.out.println("cmd: " + cmd);
                Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
                Process copy = runtime.exec( cmd );

                String line = null;

  • How to read the second line in a .txt file with bufferedReader?

    hi,
    i am not the best in speaking english and programming java :)
    so, just try to make sense of my question:
    Im using a BufferedReader to read a .txt file.
    the .txt file has 5+ different lines, and each line has 6 tokens (separated with ; )
    My java file has 6 textFields and each textfield is filled with one of the 6 different tokens.
    and my problem is:
    I want my buffered reader to read the next line (with 6 new different tokens) by pressing a button.
    if somethings not understandable, just ask :)

    maybe its easier to help me, when i publish my code, so here it is:

  • Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

    Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example).  Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

    In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
    At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

    Could you help me how can I create a XML format file?
    thanks alot

    This is a fixed file format. We need to know the length of each field before creating the format file. Say you have said the first 5 characters are Bank ID and 6th to 7th as Employee ID ... then the XML should look like,
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <RECORD>
      <FIELD ID="1"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="5"/>
      <FIELD ID="2"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="2"/>
      <FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="8"/>
      <FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
      <FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
      <FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="1"/>
    </RECORD>
    <ROW>
      <COLUMNSOURCE="1"NAME="c1"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
      <COLUMNSOURCE="2"NAME="c2"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
      <COLUMN SOURCE="3" NAME="c3" xsi:type="SQLCHAR"/>
      <COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="c4" xsi:type="SQLINT"
    />
      <COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="c5" xsi:type="SQLINT"
    />
    </ROW>
    </BCPFORMAT>
    Note: Similarly you need to specify the other length as well.

  • Export two TXT files with one button

    Hi,
    I'm using Application Express 2.0, i'm developing aplication in which users import few different excel spreadsheets and after that they export date in specified TXT format.
    I'w like to create functionality to export two and more files in CSV (TXT) format with one button and one click only in defined folder. It's necessary to simplify work of my endusers becose they have to generate ten or more files.
    Is it possible create functionality which generate files in defined folder without any addtional user's action?
    Best,
    Kiril

    Create a procedure to output the files, use the oracle directory object to define your output path.
    create or replace directory wayne as '/csv';
    use google or metalink to get examples. This way you can output as many files as you want, my personal opinion would be to create a dynamic report your users could run on demand.
