Extracting XML information

Is there a way I can extract information from an XML file and create a list or a tab-delimited file?

Here's Java's API for XML:

All you'd need to do is use their parser on the XML document, then write it out in whatever format you want.

Extracting XML Data to a flat file

I have an application which is puting an XML string into a field in the database... now my problem is that I have to extract that information and put it in either 1. a flat file, or 2. a seperate table containing a column for each XML attribute... Does anyone know of the best way to approach either solution?
cheers.

And your Oracle version is?
There are many different ways to put something into a file. How about UTL_FILE?http://www.psoug.org/reference/utl_file.html
How to get it out of the table in the first place?
I usually try a SELECT statement. They seem to work.
PS: Databases don't have fields ... table's don't either. Check your verbiage.
Try looking of the word "FIELD" in the Oracle docs. Then try "COLUMN."

Re-Using XML file from decode barcode + extract xml process

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

Hi,
What you may do is to use the SetValue and its xpath builder functions to "serialize" the xml into string, "substring" to remove the extra tags, and "concat" to add the extra tags and then "deserialize" it again to an xml to be merged with your form.

Extracting XML for PDF

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me, I need to be able to extract specific information from PDFs in the XML markup language. I was wondering how I would go about doing such a thing, I was thinking of constructing an algorithm which would automatically identify and output the specific information in XML. So what I am saying is, is there an easier way to achieve my goal without needing to code or is an algorithm the right way to go? So if using an algorithm is the best way then could someone please explain how I would start it off and I would take over once I've grasped the concept.
Thanks in advance for any advice given and sorry if I haven't described myself properly and would like to apologize in advance if I have posted this in the wrong forum section.
Frazer.

This is, less basic, and more conceptually impossible.
All that exists in the PDF is a collection of characters (letters) with positions on the page. It is possible to arrange these into words and lines.
To get more meaning requires detailed analysis of the words. Unless all your invoices are from the same organisation with exactly the same layout, this seems a manual process. You can start with extracting the text.

Sales order does not extract plant information from material master data

Hi experts,
I have created a sales order. However, the plant in the shipping tab can only be manually entered.
I have made the check:
the customer material master data does not have the plant info.
the customer master data does not have it either.
It is defined in the material master data: sales:general/plant
But the sales order did not extract this information. Why does this happen?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Fan

Hello Friend,
As right stated by you,
The Plant will be copied from the master data to the sales order, if not it should be manually entered
The Sequence System will search for the Plant is as follow..
1. Customer material infor record, If it was not maintained then it will search in
2. Customer master, if the entre was not maintained in the SHIPPING TAB
3. Finally it will search in the Material master in the Sales organisation data 1 in the field DELVERING PLANT field.
So please search whether the entry was maintained in that field at the sales:sales organisation data 1.
This might be the issue.
Please revert if you want further details

Extract XML from an XML File

Hi All,
I have an xml file from which data has to be extracted and inserted into table. XML file looks like this..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd">
<labels FORMAT="Harvest Label for Lot Project" QUANTITY="1" PRINTERNAME="PFP3400E006" JOBNAME="JA272017">

<variable name= "ITEM_DESC">6 Pack Blue Assembled 2004 JTEST</variable>
<variable name= " LOT ">ja28-10</variable>
<variable name= "QUANTITY">1</variable>
</label>
</labels>
In the above xml, if i remove <!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd"> and use the below query, I am able to get the details.
SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(x), 'labels/@_FORMAT') format
,EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(x), 'labels/@_QUANTITY') QUANTITY
,EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(x), 'labels/@_PRINTERNAME') PRINTERNAME
,EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(x), 'labels/@_JOBNAME') JOBNAME

FROM DUAL),
TABLE(XMLSEQUENCE(EXTRACT(xml, 'labels'))) x
But <!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd"> tag is there means then i am getting error as
Invalid resource handle or path name "/label.dtd"
Please let me know how we can parse the xml and insert into table. OR how can i remove <!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd"> tag and process it further.
Thanks and Regards,
Mahesh

I don't understand why the DOCTYPE is in the XML, but it appears that Oracle is trying to resolve label.dtd to a registered resource. As you discovered, it may be easier to remove the DOCTYPE from the XML then try to register the label.dtd resource within Oracle. To do this, some options are
- Use the REPLACE command
- treat the data as a CLOB and instr/substr to build a new clob without the DOCTYPE tag in it.
- Use the REGEXP_REPLACE command
Also, if your DB version supports XMLTable, here is the way to do it with that.
SELECT *
FROM XMLTABLE('/labels'
                PASSING XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<labels _FORMAT="Harvest Label for Lot Project" _QUANTITY="1" _PRINTERNAME="PFP3400E006" _JOBNAME="JA272017">

Delete xml information / reference without losing structure

Hello,
I'm currently working on a project that builds catalogs.
The catalogs consist of several different, linked INDD-files.
Now, those INDD-files are filled up with XML data and saved.
When we import them, we always get errors that there is a link missing to the xml. Now, once the indd is filled up, we do not need the xml reference anymore.
I've checked the links-page in indesign, to see if there is a reference to the xml but there is none...
How can I delete all the xml information from a indesign file without loosing the references to a text box or it's structure..
Thanks
Regards
Mario

Extracting pointer information and displaying it as an image

Hey,
I am using Intel's OpenCV image processing library in LabVIEW.
There's a pointer to a struct IplImage that is passed around in order to run image processing functions.
The struct IplImage is defined as:
typedef struct _IplImage
int nSize; /* sizeof(IplImage) */
int ID; /* version (=0)*/
int nChannels; /* Most of OpenCV functions support 1,2,3 or 4 channels */
int alphaChannel; /* ignored by OpenCV */
int depth; /* pixel depth in bits: IPL_DEPTH_8U, IPL_DEPTH_8S, IPL_DEPTH_16U,
IPL_DEPTH_16S, IPL_DEPTH_32S, IPL_DEPTH_32F and IPL_DEPTH_64F are supported */
char colorModel[4]; /* ignored by OpenCV */
char channelSeq[4]; /* ditto */
int dataOrder; /* 0 - interleaved color channels, 1 - separate color channels.
cvCreateImage can only create interleaved images */
int origin; /* 0 - top-left origin,
1 - bottom-left origin (Windows bitmaps style) */
int align; /* Alignment of image rows (4 or 8).
OpenCV ignores it and uses widthStep instead */
int width; /* image width in pixels */
int height; /* image height in pixels */
struct _IplROI *roi;/* image ROI. when it is not NULL, this specifies image region to process */
struct _IplImage *maskROI; /* must be NULL in OpenCV */
void *imageId; /* ditto */
struct _IplTileInfo *tileInfo; /* ditto */
int imageSize; /* image data size in bytes
(=image->height*image->widthStep
in case of interleaved data)*/
char *imageData; /* pointer to aligned image data */
int widthStep; /* size of aligned image row in bytes */
int BorderMode[4]; /* border completion mode, ignored by OpenCV */
int BorderConst[4]; /* ditto */
char *imageDataOrigin; /* pointer to a very origin of image data
(not necessarily aligned) -
it is needed for correct image deallocation */
IplImage;
I am having problems with closing OpenCV's GUI window when called from LabVIEW in Linux. A solution to this may be to not use OpenCV's GUI window in LabVIEW for Linux, but rather pass back the pointer to the processed image in LabVIEW. From that pointer, we can send it to a C wrapper to extract some information that we want from the struct in order and pass back those values to LabVIEW. Then LabVIEW will process those values and display the image. What will I need to extract from the pointer (via a C wrapper) in order to display the image onto LabVIEW?
I attached a LabVIEW example that I found. This example loads and displays an image. I am thinking of doing something similar to that. Instead of loading an image from the file dialog, I will pass all of the necessary information to Draw Flattened Pixmap.

My description of my problems with interfacing OpenCV with LabVIEW is contained in this discussion
Basically, the code works in C in Linux, C in Windows, LabVIEW for Windows, but not in LabVIEW for Linux.
We finally were able to get OpenCV to interface with LabVIEW for Linux by doing some complex edition to make install. However, LabVIEW was still having trouble with the function to close all HighGUI windows. Even though it went through the function, it will not close the HighGUI window. Also the HighGUI window freezes and when it eventually closes, it crashes LabVIEW.
When I test it by writing C programs, the function does what it is supposed to do.

How to use NI CAN feature for extracting DBC information without a CAN Interface?

Hi,
I'm looking for some tricks in order to extract DBC Information using the NI CAN without a CAN interface...
Basically I have some DBC files and I would to analyze them to get hierarchy Messages and Channels (and their related information, offset, scale, etc.).
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4294/en/
The function CAN Get Names is usefull and allow me depending on the mode to get a list of the Channels and Messages described in the DBC file. However, I'm encountering one major issue and none of the least, I cannot use the function the CAN Get Property... As it required a connector based on Task that I cannot provide since I dont have any real and physical CAN interface, for now. Therefore I cannot have any information about the channels neither about the messages...
Does anybody can give me a hand to fix that matter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems that no matter the virtual port I am using, it does not work. Could you have a look at my sample.vi, I know it's poorly wired, especially since I'm more in .NET things than NI from my occupation ^^'. I also provided a dummy DBC file to simulate a very basic input.
And by the way is there any way then to get the Byte Array / Bit Array corresponding to a certain message (and how to set the signal values required to get the message)?
Your code isn't that bad, relativly easy to follow. In any case the problem had nothing to do with the CAN port being used. If you would probe the error wires around you would see that coming out of the CAN Init Start stated that the channel name didn't exist. Looking at how you had it wired you took the messages (or frames) and put them into the channels terminal, when I assume you wanted the channels. Then looking at your tree you were again trying to get the ID of a channel, but giving it the message name. I also added reading the Start Bit, Number of Bits, and Byte Order for all the channels read.
If you were to do this with XNET there would be completelly different functions, but the same operations can be done.

Extracting package information from SSIS

Hi all,
I am supposed to maintain a bunch of excels documenting all the mappings I'm doing in SSIS. The excels have the following format:
Target Field | Target Type | Source Table | Source Field | Source Type | Transformation Rule
Apart from being incredibly tedious, it is hard to keep every excel current, as there are other people adding and taking information from the database model.
I plan to extract this information from SSIS and create the excels dinamically, but, apart from parsing the .dtsx for each package, I see no other way of getting what I need.
Any suggestions on how I should do this? Is there an easier way?
Cheers,
David Leal

The SSIS object model provides access to all aspects of the package, you can use it from both managed and unmanaged code. Also, take a look as SQL BI Metadata Samples that has similar goal of documenting the package, you may find some of its code useful for your project.

I guess the above makes a regular relational view? correct?Yes.
How can I extract the of CREATED attribute from the top most employees element and attributes "MODE" and "emp_id" from EMPLOYEE_TRANS element ? You have to use a two-level approach :
SQL> select x1.created, x2.*
2 from EMPLOYEES_OR_TABLE t
3     , xmltable('/EMPLOYEES'
4         passing t.object_value
5         columns created timestamp path '@CREATED'
6               , emps    xmltype   path 'EMPLOYEE_TRANS'
7       ) x1
8     , xmltable('/EMPLOYEE_TRANS'
9         passing x1.emps
10         columns emp_mode varchar2(1) path '@MODE'
11               , emp_id   number       path '@emp_id'
12               , emp_nm   varchar2(30) path 'emp_nm'
13               , updt_ts timestamp    path 'updt_ts'
14       ) x2 ;
CREATED                     EMP_MODE     EMP_ID EMP_NM                         UPDT_TS
06/02/13 12:33:00,000000    A                 1 SCOTT                          06/02/13 12:28:00,000000
06/02/13 12:33:00,000000    A                 2 KEVIN                          06/02/13 12:29:00,000000
The first XMLTable x1 extracts top-level information, then passes the collection of EMPLOYEE_TRANS elements to a second XMLTable that breaks each item in separate rows and columns.
It's also possible to use a single XMLTable, but with a little more complex XQuery expression.

How can I extract structure information from registered XSDs ?

Hello,

                COLUMNS   ELEM_NAME       VARCHAR2(63) PATH '@name'

                        , FRACTION_DIGITS VARCHAR2(10) PATH '/xs:fractionDigits/@value'
               )together with an indicator if each element is a leaf or not as well as its level and position information, by suitably expanding the appropriate type information from the (possibly) included XML Schemas (via schemaLocation).
Does anybody know if there is a way to do this ?
I will provide my sample XSD files if needs be ...

How to extract xml tag name contains dashes

Hi, How to parse XML file to extract root tag contains dashes in Flex,for example
XML Input is: <regular-body>Text of my post...</regular-body>
expected output is : regular-body
I appreciate any of your suggestions or inputs

Do you want to get the name of the XML ELEMENT regular-body, or the value in the XML file "Text of my post...".
If its the latter, then you could use the bracket/quote notation for extracting the value, like in the following example:
image = xmlWeather[0]..parameters["conditions-icon"]["icon-link"][idx]
I use this when parsing weather information from a 3rd party in which their XML is loaded with dashes.
If you are looking to get the actual element name, not sure how to do that. I would think that if you are using an XML file, you would have at least the high level element known.
