Help needed in reading file

Hi all,
I am designing a web system that takes paragraph from a user and store it into database so that we can use those later to create a document using different paras from the database so that the user don't have to type anything.
Now i want to approach this as the following:
1. I am taking user input using HTML TEXTAREA because we don't know how long is the para is gonna be.
2. How can receive that TEXTAREA in the next page when the user submit that to the database. Can i use
String para=request.getParameter("astring"); the problem is para size could be anything i don't know what size of data can a string take. So can anyone suggest me what should i use
3. Next. When i receive the para i want to create a TEXT file and store the para AND i will save the name and location of the para in the database rather than the whole para in database.
4. Next when the query made system can show those para by taking the address from the database and then opening the file and copying those data in HTML TEXT area again to show to the user.
Can anyone please help me how can do that.
I really need your help.
Thanks

Hi,
Sounds like its really big inputs you are expecting. String are objects and have no such restrictions as seen at simple types. To my knowledge Strings have no limits in length.
So use the request.getParameter("string");
Make sure though that your form method id POST.
I think you should make a field in your database to where you can post your text directly. They can be made to contain quite big amount of data. Reading and writing to files are expensive. I'm using Postre and mssql having fields containing up to 15 MB data. Should be suficient in many cases.
Good luck to you

Help needed making SWF file loop

Hello Everyone-
I have been researching this topic and am really struggling.
I'm not much of a HTML guy and I think I'll need to do some to
resolve my issues. I have searched and searched but I'm not having
any luck.
I create an animation in Apple Motion, exported it as a MOV
and imported it as video into Flash CS3. It was encoded using
Progressive download from server it creates a FLV file a SWF file
and an HTML file. My provider is 1and1. I then use Adobe GoLive to
create my webpage and upload to the web. I need my SWF file to loop
and I cannot get it to loop.
In flash. Everything plays fine. When I do a publish preview
however, the swf file does not loop. I've got the loop option
checked in my publish preview settings and even in the inspector in
GoLive but it does nothing.
Here is the link to the page. And the source code. If anyone
can help me that would be genius.
PS there is actually two SWF that I need to loop. Neither of
them are looping.

The problem you are encountering is that you are telling the
SWF to loop, when in fact you need to tell the FLV to loop.
Unfortunately, you need to code a few lines of Actionscript
to get this to work, you would think that it would be as simple as
just checking an option.
I don't know if you have an AS2 or AS3 project, so I'm going
to give you both for the code.
Actionscript 2:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage.
2. In the Actions panel, enter the following:
on(complete){
this.autoRewind = true;
this.play();
Actionscript 3:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage, and give it
an instance name by entering some text in the properties panel.
(Upper left corner of the panel, right under where it says
"Component" there is a text input box. This is where you input it.)
Names are commonly things like "myFLVPlayback" or "myVideo" etc.
2. Deselect everything.
3. In the actions panel, enter the following (replacing
"myVideo" with the instance name you chose):
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,doLoop);
function doLoop(evt:VideoEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.play();
Either of those blocks of code should work for you. Simply
add them to your flash project and re-export the SWF.

URGENT HELP NEEDED! sort files randomly

Hi
I'm a film student and my final project needs to be finished in less than a week! I have a series of images which I need to appear in a random order in my timeline in Final Cut Express. I used Automator to add a series of numbers to the beginning of each filename corresponding to when each image was created/modified, in the hope that that would reorder them, but since they were all exported from Final Cut in the first place they were all created and modified at pretty much exactly the same time, so that didn't really help. I read somewhere that if you know AppleScript it would be a matter of minutes to write a script that could add a string of random alphanumerical characters to the beginning of a series of filenames, but I don't know AppleScript and I don't have time to learn it. Does someone out there know of a solution?
Many thanks!

User Craig Smith over in the AppleScript forums provided me with this helpful little script, which solved my problem:
set a to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
set all_Files to every file in folder a
repeat with a_file in all_Files
set a_file's name to ((random number from 100 to 999) as text) & a_file's name
end repeat
end tell
Copy and paste it into Script Editor (/Applications/AppleScript), press "Compile" and then "Run", and it will ask you to choose a folder, all the files in which will then receive a random three-digit number between 100 and 999 to the beginning of their filenames. Handy!

Help needed in reading data from a Crystal Report

I am trying to read data values from a saved crystal report. (groovy code snippet below)
I open a new ReportClientDocument and set the RAS using the inprocConnectionString property.
Then I get the rowsetController and set defaultNumOfBrowsingRecords, rowsetBatchSize and maxNumOfRecords all to 1000000
Using the browseFieldValues method after that returns only 100 records. I want to get all.
           ReportClientDocument clientDocSaved;
       def pathout=rc.pathToSavedReports+rr.path;
     //****** BEGIN OPEN SAVED SNAPSHOT ************
     clientDocSaved = new ReportClientDocument();
     clientDocSaved.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
        // Open report
     println("Reading file in.")
     clientDocSaved.open(pathout, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
       def rowsetController = clientDocSaved.getRowsetController()
     rowsetController.setDefaultNumOfBrowsingRecords(1000000)
     rowsetController.setRowsetBatchSize(1000000)
     rowsetController.setMaxNumOfRecords(1000000)
     //setup metadata
     IRowsetMetaData rowsetMetaData = new RowsetMetaData()
     Fields fields = clientDocSaved.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getResultFields()
     rowsetMetaData.setDataFields(fields)
     def values = rowsetController.browseFieldValues(fields.get(0), 1000000)
     values.each{value->
        println(value.displayText(new Locale("ENGLISH")))
Before using the browseFieldValues method I was trying to use a rowsetCursor
            //get the rowset cursor to navigate through the results
            RowsetCursor rowsetCursor = clientDoc.getRowsetController().createCursor(null, rowsetMetaData)
            //navigate through the rowset and log the name and value
            rowsetCursor.moveTo(0)
            while(!rowsetCursor.isEOF()){
                 Record currentRecord = rowsetCursor.getCurrentRecord()
                 //println("current record number: " + rowsetCursor.getCurrentRecordNumber())
                 for(int i=0;i<fields.size();i++){
                      //println("Column - "+fields.get(i).getName())
                      if (currentRecord.size()>0){
                          println(currentRecord.getValue(i))
                 rowsetCursor.moveNext()
the currentRecord was always an empty list and I did not get any data values at all.
Am I missing something in using these approaches?
I'm fairly new to using the Java SDK for CR. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi, I am trying this second method to read the values from report. but all the records comming as null. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Ram,
I have had printing problems too a year and a half ago. I used all printing apis of java and I still find that it is something java lacks. Now basically you can try autosense. To check whether your printer is capable of printing the docflavor use this PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset); . If it lists the printer then he can print the document otherwise he can't. I guess that is why you get the error.

Search help - Need to read dynpro of the calling program

Hello all,
We have a requirement where we need to read the dynpro of the calling program of a search help.
Say I have a screen (selection screen, module pool or ALV grid etc) where I have a field PARTNER with whom a custom search help is attached. But on this same screen there is another field RLTYP. What we want is that when an F4 is taken on PARTNER, the value of RLTYP should also be passed as value to the Search help exit.
In short, we need to read the screen fields of the calling screen of a search help.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Regards
Priyanka

Help needed in splitting files using BPM

Hello experts,
I am working on an interface where i need to split files within BPM.
I know,i can achieve it in Message Mapping by mapping Recordset to Target structure and then using Interface Mapping within Transformation step.But i dont want to follow this.Is there an alternative way to achieve this within BPM.
I have an input file with multiple headers and i need to split for each header.My input file looks like this:
HXXXXXABCDVN01
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN02
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN03
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is there a way, where i can specify this condition within BPM , that split files for every H.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
have your target structure with occurence as 0...unbounded in the mapping and map the header filed to the root node (repeating parent node) of the target structure....this will create as many target messages as the header fileds....if you want to send these messages separately then use a block in BPM with ForEach option....
Splitting and Dynamic configuration can be applied in the same mapping.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Need help- need to read a customer table from the payroll schema

Hi gurus,
I need to read an amonunt from a customer table in the payroll schema. Is it possible to input TABLE XXXX in the schema, or is impossible to read from a customer table?Do I need to create a report to upload the amount in an infotype?
Thanks in advanced for for support!

You should create your own custom operation (based on operation TABLE) to read your custom table from a Payroll PCR.
If your custom table's name is longer than 5 characters, you may be required to use operations VAOFF and/or VALEN prior to your custom operation in the PCR.

Urgent Help Needed regd reading a file in apex

cany any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Srini,
You can use the normal file upload functionality to do this.
1 - Create a page region and add in a File Browse item - I'll call it P1_FILE_NAME
2 - Create a button in that region, I'll call it P1_UPLOAD_BUTTON, and set it to branch back to the same page
3 - Create a TextArea item - I'll call it P1_FILE_CONTENTS
4 - Create a page process, called P1_UPLOAD_FILE, and triggered by the P1_UPLOAD_BUTTON
5 - Use the follownig code for the process:
declare
v_clob clob;
v_blob blob;
v_varchar2 varchar2(30000);
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content into v_blob FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES where name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
v_clob := wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(v_blob,'utf-8');
:P1_FILE_CONTENTS := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_varchar2(v_clob);
:P1_FILE_NAME := '';
delete from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES WHERE NAME = :P1_FILE_NAME;
END;When you select the file and click the Upload button, the file is uploaded into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table. The contents of the file is put into a BLOB field. The above code, converts that BLOB into a CLOB and then into a VARCHAR2 value - you can then change P1_FILE_CONTENTS to that value. Finally, the code removes the file from the table and resets the File Browse field.
Note that this assumes that the file contains nothing but text and is no more than 30,000 characters in length.

Help needed regarding reading in a text file and tokenizing strings.

Hello, I require help with a task I've been set, which asks me to read in a text file, and check the contents for errors. The text file contains lines as follows.
surname:forename:1234:01-02-06
I can read in the file, but dont know how to split the strings so each token can be tested (ie numbers in the name tokens)
However, I am not allowed to use regex functions, only those found in java.io.*
I think i should be putting the tokens into an array, but have had no luck so far in doing so. Any help would be appreciated.

public class Validator {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          String string = "Suname:Forename:1234:01_02-06";
          String stringArray[] = string.split(":");
          System.out.println (validateLetters(stringArray[0]));//returns true
          System.out.println (validateNumbers(stringArray[3]));//returns false
     static boolean validateLetters(String s) {
             for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
             char c = s.charAt(i);
             if ((c < 'A' || c > 'Z') && (c < 'a' || c > 'z')) {
                     return false; //return false if one of characters is other than a-z A-Z
             }//end if
             }//end for
             return true;
     }//end validateLetters
     static boolean validateNumbers(String s) {
             for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
             char c = s.charAt(i);
             if ((c < '0' || c > '9') && (c != '-')) {
                     return false; //return false if one of characters is other than 0-9 or -
             }//end if

Help Needed, problem reading a configuration file in XML form

In fact I can feel some word on the blank line (hidden words).. its cursor who evidence their presence so Its not working..
Its a big program which is accessing a lexical resource so I think what I copied was Ok..
If u still have some solutions then please tell me otherwise I have to remove these blank lines manually for the time being but its not solution.

Plz clarify whether u want to load text file as a file into database or value of this text file into database. If values are to be loaded from this text file, U can better format the text file and use SQL loader to load the file into database. By formatting the database, i mean remove the unnecessary headings and characters, kee only the values to be loaded idelimited by ' '(space) or ','(comma). Create a control file and load it into the target table.

the application runs, it loads the data available in the linked list,
yet, on switching from an item to another in the list, it keeps generating errors!!!
in addition to the fact that it does not display the data!!
for more info refer to the url in my first post!
any clues??

Help needed recovering project files from trash

Hi everyone, I am hoping that someone will be able to help me. I just did something stupid!
I created two new projects in iMovie this morning and then needed to clear out the mac in order to speed up a clip as I was getting the warning that my disk was full. So I copied a lot of files from iPhoto onto a hard drive and then moved them to trash including the raw files that I was using for these projects. (I got a bit carried away!) Yes the video files were in iPhoto and not iMovie Events as the last time I uploaded files iMovie was not playing the game.
The files are still on the mac as I have not emptied the trash and they are also backed up on an external drive connected to the mac, but I have emptied the iPhoto trash. I tried importing the files back into iPhoto from trash and only got so far before the disk full message came up again. But even those ones that I did manage to re import are not showing up.
Is there any way that I can continue with these projects or have I effectively ruined them? Do I need to start again from scratch? I hope not as they took me hours and hours to create and had pretty much finished them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :-)

To see these "other" backups, you need the Browse Other Backup Disks or (Browse Other Time Machine Disks on Snow Leopard or Leopard) option. It's available by Alt/Option-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Menubar, or by control-clicking (right-clicking) the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
