Format txt file

How can I output the following text file,
Data
Size 1000
0
90
121
where Data and Size 1000 are string values and the data underneath are dbl. The data underneath must be in a single column.

Hello,
I'm guessing you're on a non-Windows machine. In the example code given by the previous poster, replace the Carriage Return Constants on his diagram (there are two of them) with End of Line Constants (also available on the String palette). Now your text file should look normal. The difference between these items is that a Carriage Return is the platform specific character denoting the end of a line on Windows, but it may not be on other platforms. In order to get an end of line character that is specific to the platform you are on, you need to use the End of Line Constant.
Hope this helps,

The .txt file has formatting issues that need to be resolved

Transaction ZEHS20 runs a program that assigns a CCL Group to a specification header, based on its Active Ingredients. The transaction can be run in the background if desired with output being emailed to the user.The .txt file has formatting issues that need to be resolved. can u pls Help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

What is the formatting issue like? Could you please elaborate a bit more.
If it is because of varying lengths in the data then it can be handled by utilising a CONCATENATE RESPECTING blanks.

Error with the data format in the TXT file, sending as an Email attachment

Hi all,
I have an problem in the data formating in the TXT file while sending as an attachment via an email by using the FM "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".
For eg:
The data in the TXT file is looking like as follows:
0 0 0 0 2        L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 W h i t e                  0 0
0031 L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 Black                               0 000

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.

Write data to .txt file with formatting

Hi,
I am trying to read data from serial port and write it on to a .txt file. I am able to write onto the file but it has got no formatting. What I would ideally like to do is, read the data from serial port, take only some parts of it and write on to the text file with proper formatting. Also, I would like to use the same file to append data each time. I am also having issues setting the pointer to EOF. I would like to append to end of file.
This is my sample data
18:33:23 02/10/10 28.32 0 LAC 0.378 mg/dL 0000\
18:33:23 02/10/10 28.32 0 GLU 102 mg/dL 0000
that is being read from the serial port. From this I would like to take only columns 1,2,3,5,6 and write onto the .txt file.
Can someone provide some pointers? I'm using Labview 6.1
Thanks,
Sukanya

If you know what "charecters" you don't want it is pretty easy. A little more difficult when they are unwanted only in certain places in the string. There is a remove whitespace function in the string functions palette. There is also a search and replace function in the "additional string functions" subpalette, that can be set up to find all instances of a char and replace it with something else, an empty string if you want to just delete it/them from your string.

Wrong file format while generating a txt file

Hi,
I am using a java application to generate a txt file. This txt file will later be used by a spider. The problem is when the file is generated it has UNIX format. It means the '\n' characters at the end of the line are not the same as in a DOS file.
I need the file to be in a "PC/DOS" format otherwise the spider will ignore the file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Fas

Another stab at "simplest": can you avoid embedding
newline characters in the strings
your write and reply on PrintWriter's
println() methods instead?But, if I understand the OP, this will cause the same problem. He is running on Unix but wants to generate a DOS type eol. The println() method will use the OS default; therefore, he needs to explicitly specify the DOS eol.

"Bad data format" when reading txt file from the presentation server

Hello,
I have a piece of code which reads a txt file from the presentation server to an internal table like below:
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\
CALL method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD
EXPORTING
   FILENAME              = lv_filename
CHANGING
   DATA_TAB            = lt_tsd. " lt_tab has the exact same fields as the Test.txt's. Test.txt has only one line, tab delimited.
When running this code, exception BAD_DATA_FORMAT is issued.
Is it because of the file encoding or delimiter or other reason?
Thanks,
Yang

Hello,
If its tab delimited then use the has_field_seperator parameter and check
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\

Excel 2007 throws "this action is valid for the products which are currently installed" while i try to open .txt file format.

Hello,
We have Windows 2008 r2 TS, on which we have MS office 2007 Standard installed. There are almost 50 users on this particular machine.
The problem is we get an error message when we try to open a .txt file in Excel (Right click on .txt file--> Open with --> Excel). Error message is as follows "this action is valid for the products which are currently installed".
Previously this was faced by all users so we completely reinstalled it, which worked, except for 1 user. Currently i have recreated the profile for that particular user but that also didn't helped.
A drag-drop approach works but user don't want it that way.
Now am clueless in terms of where should i look into. Any help would really be helpful.
Thanks,

Archiving TXT files in Sender File Adapter--Unformatted Way

Hello,
I am Archiving TXT files thru Sender file adapter, files are getting archived to specified directory.No issues in that.,
When i open the archived files, those are not in the correct format way that i placed before file pickup.
Header & lines got messed up side by side.
Regards

Hi,
If the file that it being archived is not transformed, it should exactly be the same as the original file.
Please make sure that you are not transforming the archive file by any means(unix script, mapping logics etc).
As suggested above, it is advisable to open the file in the editors like textpad, ultraedit etc. The difference in the alignment could be because of the notepad editor.
Try to open the original and archived files in any of those(textpad,ultraedit etc) editors and check.
Please let us know if you are still able to find the difference in the alignment.

A better way to search a string in a 3GB txt file

I am looking for a string(12 characters) in a 3GB txt file. I use the file reader to go though each line and use the startwith() (that 12 characters are from the beginning of each line) to check if that line contain the string I am searching for. Is there a faster way to do it? Thank's.

I would avoid using java to parse/search a 3 GB text file at all costs. Any java solution is going to have terrible performance and you may run into memory problems. I would recomend that you either a) develop a native method for resolving this search and just invoke it from your current java class or b) use Runtime.exec to invoke a native OS command for searching the file (like grep or find) and parse the results. ....
I'm not even sure how I would complete that task with java exclusivly ... maybe break the file into smaller parts, then iterate through each smaller, temporary file ... I would really recomend storing your data in a different format if possible. A 3 GB text file just isn't very partical or secure.
... oh, to answer your original question (which I'm not sure if I all ready did), the fatest way to load the file is to wrap it into some BufferedReader. The fatest way to perform String searches is through the java.util.regex package if you have access to the 1.4 API. Other wise, just use basic String searches, as you all ready are.

How to retrieve IndividualStrings from a txt file using String Tokenizer.

hello can any one help me to retrieve the individual strings from a txt file using string tokenizer or some thing like that.
the data in my txt file looks like this way.
Data1;
abc; cder; efu; frg;
abc1; cder2; efu3; frg4;
Data2
sdfabc; sdfcder; hvhefu; fgfrg;
uhfhabc; gffjcder; yugefu; hhfufrg;
Data3
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
i need to read the data as an individual strings and i need to pass those values to diffarent labels,the dat in Data3 i have to read those values and add to an table datamodel as 6 columns and rows depends on the data.
i try to retrieve data using buffered reader and inputstream reader,but only the way i am retrieving data as an big string of entire line ,i tried with stringtokenizer but some how i was failed to retrive the data in a way i want,any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Hmmm... looks like the file format isn't even very consistent... why the semicolon after Data1 but not after Data2 or Data3??
Your algorithm is reading character-by-character, and most of the time it's easier to let a StringTokenizer or StreamTokenizer do the work of lexical analysis and let you focus on the parsing.
I am also going to assume your format is very rigid. E.g. section Data1 will ALWAYS come before section Data2, which will come before section Data3, etc... and you might even make the assumption there can never be a Data4, 5, 6, etc... (this is why its nice to have some exact specification, like a grammar, so you know exactly what is and is not allowed.) I will also assume that the section names will always be the same, namely "DataX" where X is a decimal digit.
I tend to like to use StreamTokenizer for this sort of thing, but the additional power and flexibility it gives comes at the price of a steeper learning curve (and it's a little buggy too). So I will ignore this class and focus on StringTokenizer.
I would suggest something like this general framework:
//make a BufferedReader up here...
do
String line = myBufferedReader.readLine();
if (line!=null && line.trim().length()>0)
line = line.trim();
//do some processing on the line
while (line!=null);So what processing to do inside the if statement?
Well, you can recognize the DataX lines easily enough - just do something like a line.startsWith("Data") and check that the last char is a digit... you can even ignore the digit if you know the sections come in a certain order (simplifying assumptions can simplify the code).
Once you figure out which section you're in, you can parse the succeeding lines appropriately. You might instantiate a StringTokenizer, i.e. StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, "); and then read out the tokens into some Collection, based on the section #. E.g.
strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, ");
if (sectionNo==0)
//read the tokens into the Labels1 collection
else if (sectionNo==1)
//read the tokens into the Labels2 collection
else //sectionNo must be 2
//create a new line in your table model and populate it with the token values...
}I don't think the delimiters are necessary if you are using end-of-line's as delimiters (which is implicit in the fact that you are reading the text out line-by-line). So the original file format you listed looks fine (except you might want to get rid of that rogue semicolon).
Good luck.

HOW DO YOU CONVET AN ORACLE DATABASE FILE TO A TXT FILE?

Is there a way in a program unit of a form to convert an ORACLE database file into TXT format? When the file gets created, I want to use the text file in a distribution list for sending email. My code in the program unit is:
Insert into THE_IMO_EMAIL
Select distinct imo_email from DS_POC
where imo_email is not null;
commit;
Table THE_IMO_EMAIL is a temporary table. The temporary table gets deleted everytime before records get inserted into it. There is only 1 item in the temporary table.
IMO_EMAIL VARCHAR2(55)
After the COMMIT I want to copy the contents out of the
THE_IMO_EMAIL into a TXT File.
How do I do this? What parameters do I need to use? Should I do this in another program unit?

can you be more clear on this
"DATABASE FILE" what is this? an RDBMS file and you need this in ASCII format. I am lost.
