Help with printing a txt file

Hi, Im having some (a lot) of trouble getting my head round how to actually print a text file.
Literally i want no formatting, no user interaction or anything, it just has to print a text file, im looking to create a method that is called by another method.
I know everyone says read the API, however im really not finding it helpfull at all, so if anyone could give me a basic example, or just somewhere to start i'd be really gratefull.
Thanks
Alan

If you are using Java J2SE 6 (which I would recommend unless you have a good reason not too) then it is
as simple as this.
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.File;
public class Printer {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Desktop.getDesktop.print(new File("c:\\test.txt"));
}http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/javase6/desktop_api/

Help with input output .txt files!

Hi i'm a student and totally new to programming. I need the program to read a .txt file and then output it:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Reading{
     public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
          Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(args[0]));
          while(scanner.hasNext()){
               System.out.println(scanner.next());
          scanner.close();
and
import java.io.*;
public class Writing{
     public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
          String outputFile = args[0];
          PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile)));
          for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
               writer.println(i * i);
          writer.close();
How would i merge these together? I also changed the command line to java Reading Input.txt but it wont run on DrJava on my computer or laptop and i get an error? How do i then store the strings into an arraylist and iterate throught the arraylist to reverse the strings?
Please help.

You could do this...

public class FileIO2
     public static void main(String argsp[])

File with list of .txt files in a specific directory

Hi,
I need to create a file with list of .txt files in a specific directory (actually the command will be used by a java application).
I am using the below command,
ls home/apptmt/park/*.txt > home/apptmt/park/reportgen.txt
but this command prints output as
home/apptmt/park/report1.txt
home/apptmt/park/report2.txt
home/apptmt/park/report3.txt
I need only the files in reportgen.txt file, like
report1.txt
report2.txt
report3.txt
any one help me on the command I should use to get this output?
Thanks
MT

Thank you Dude!
I just found out that
cd /home/apptmt/park;ls *.txt > reportgen.lst works for me...
I will try this one as well... thank you very much...

Help with converting a Nero file

I have previously converted a dvd insert designed with Nero into a pdf using adobe acrobat in order to send to someone else. When I tried to do the same thing today with a new Nero designed insert the conversion wouldn't work. The message said adobe didn't support the program that created the file. Any ideas?

thanks for your response.
When I create a dvd insert or cd label etc using Nero the file extension is nct - nero cover template. The printer wants the file as a pdf as he can't open Nero files. I have version 9.3 of acrobat.

Nero is simply a CD/DVD burning application and should have no effect on the type of files that will eventually be on the CD/DVD.
What type of files are you trying to convert and exactly how are you trying to convert them? Plus, it would help to know the version of Acrobat you are using.

Help with Print Layout Designer

Hi all,
I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum. Moderator(s) if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
I need some help with Print Layout Designer. I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report. They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document. The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible. I check it and In Stock shows up as designed. The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name. I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column. I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content. I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109. I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number. That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column. I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand". I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty". I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet. I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one. I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer". According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Steve

I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

Need some help with printing Templates

Hi All,
So I was hoping for a bit of help. I am currently doing all illustrator work for my new job. I have not been on the program in a long time and the version I am using is CS4. I have been creating brochures and flyers all A4 size and i have hit a bump in the road. I need a 6pp A4 Z folded (Inside) and 6pp A4 Z folded (outside) template. I Have been using the A3 folded to A4 guides to great affect for a two page brochure. But i cannot for the life of me find a template guides for 6pp A4 brochure.
This was the best i could do, its a pdf but I prefer working with the guides. I have just been downloading the previous templates from commercial printing websites. I found one that was right but not compatible with CS4.
Any help with finding one or any ideas on a path to take would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you just setup the file you need?
Create your guidelines and there you go.

Note that the dev machine is x64 Win7.
I have not tried deploying this to staging since the issue started as I'm a bit nervous of touching the staging/live environment until this is solved.
Removing the PlatformTarget element from the project file has no effect
Removing the msshrtmi.dll file from the bin directory of the website project ends up with

I have used Git to revert to the last working build to no effect (But I don't have the obj/bin folders in GIT), but it has atleast reset the project files etc.
If I return msshrtmi.dll to the bin folder and switch the model and website projects to x64 there is no change
If I switch both to x86 then I get an error Could not load file or assembly 'BekoModel2011' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
which is the model project - presumably because to run on my x64 machine I need the 64bit version?
I really need to be able to debug and then publish some changes ASAP.
Andrew

Hi,
Is it true that you're using IIS to host the application? Could you check whether the process is x64 or x86 one via task manager or config in IIS manager?

Background processing of S_ALR_87013558 report with output in txt file

Dear Friend's,
Here I have a requirement of, to execute standard report S_ALR_87013558 (Budget/Actual/Commitment/Rem Plan/Assigned) in background processing mode. Here we have to run this report in background on daily basis at a particular given time.
Once this report gets executed in background, output of this report should get converted automatically into txt file and this converted txt file must be downloaded in a respective folder automatically by giving desired path.
After completion of this process, downloaded txt file they have to use for internal MIS reporting purpose.
Is this possible via standard PS or else I have to go for the development.Please suggest, what should be the approach?
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
Check if you can create batch job to run for S_ALR_87013558 using SM36
The Program name is GP8YTY7TBR1TYRPCIPKAC6X9GZG
Please check with ABAP.

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

Help with quality of exported files

The problem: I'm trying to get a good quality, 34 minute movie onto a DVD with chapter markers separating individual short films. This is supposed to be a compilation of 8 family movies, in addition to an introduction and credits at the end. Four movies are old movies made in iMovie and are .m4v files. Four were made in FCE earlier this year. I linked everything together in a Master Sequence, putting pauses in between each with some livetype text files to introduce each video. The m4v files were imported and placed in the master sequence. The others are nested sequences. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each section. My intention was to export this one master sequence as a quick time movie, then put it into iDVD.
It worked, but the quality was horrible! Everything became grainy, even the movies I had previously created in FCE. This was very disappointing. So I expertimented with a few things, and here’s what I found.
When I exported a quicktime movie, the quality degraded. It became grainy. Also, it changed the aspect ratio and stretches everything horizontally, as if to take a standard size screen and stretch it to a widescreen. It did this even with the original movies I had made in FCE. I don’t like building self contained movies using this mode because the file sizes are too big, so when I export I tend to use quick time conversion. In this case, I was hoping a non-self contained movie would merely point to all the original content and not add compression artifacts (or something like that). It turns out it made it worse.
When I tried to export a quicktime conversion, 640x480 VGA, best quality, H.264, the machine couldn’t do it. It ran for an hour or so and then crashed. Twice. That is for the entire movie. When I export individual clips (3-6 minutes) it works. The quality is good for movies made in FCE, not as good for imported m4v movies made long ago in iMovie, but better than what I get exporting quicktime movie files, either self contained or not. This is surprising to me, because I was expecting the export quick time movie command to produce the best quality. Also, I’m concerned that if I was able to create this, iDVD would not see any chapter markers anyway.
So there is a problem either way. Experimenting has led me to discover several questions/issues which need answering:
Issue #1: Why can’t I get a quick time movie of the same quality as what I see on the canvas, using the quick time movie export command? On a side note, the user's manual says something about a settings pop up menu where you can deselect the "recompress all frames" option. I can't seem to find this, and was thinking maybe that would help.
Issue#2: Why do m4v files which are very high quality in iTunes suddenly become poor quality when imported into a sequence? Seems to be an import problem, because the movies are already grainy when they’re on the canvas. I thought about making XML files and importing them that way, but the original project files in iMovie are gone.
Issue #3: Why do I end up with a stretched picture if I export quick time movies and there are mixed aspect ratio contents in the sequence (the m4v files are widescreen, the others are not)? More important, how to I get FCE to not do this?
Issue #4: When I export movies using quick time movie (not conversion), the grainy movies actually look better when played in VLC. They also look good when opened with FCE. How can I get that kind of quality in quick time, or at least in iDVD? Perhaps that would solve my problem.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
E

Thanks for the response. I’m not fluent with codecs or video compression, so this project quickly became more trouble than I expected.
It turns out the nested sequences are not H.264, the compression field is blank for the nested sequences. I double checked and the other properties are correct. Sorry about that. The other movies, though, (ones built in iMovie for iTunes) are H.264.
These four . m4v movies are in 960x540 and 480 x 272 because of the way they were exported in iMovie (Share -> Export Movie opens a menu with four sizes: Tiny 176 x 144, Mobile 480 x 272, Medium 640 x 360, and Large 960 x 540).
I just imported the final products (what was exported from iMovie) as clips into FCE. Sounds like I should not be doing that. The original media is on my computer, but not the iMovie project files, and for what I’m trying to do it’s just not worth the time to rebuild the movies in FCE.
Bottom Line: Here’s the current status of the project:
All eight of the movies, by themselves, play well in quicktime. I can put all of them on a DVD, and they still play ok. I wanted to string them all together in one sequence, with some transitions in between (creating a “Play All” option on the DVD). That’s why I nested the sequences, and imported the movies made from iMovie, than added chapter markers. Unfortunately, putting these different types of media together and asking the computer to make one sequence is creating a mess. So I’m sticking with Plan B and putting the movies on a DVD without trying to merge them into a single track.
A few follow up questions…
Out of curiosity, when you say “convert everything to QuickTime DV NTSC 720x480 at 29.97fps with 48k audio,” do you mean the original media (all of the bits of video and stills that came from the camera) or the edited sequences I’m currently working with? As a lesson learned, should I be changing properties of clips before importing them to FCE, so the source material has consistent aspect ratios?
The still images, though they are huge, show up with much better quality than the movies (which is expected, and I’m ok with). So I get a product which includes both video and still images, where the images are very sharp and the movie portions are a bit grainy (because they were taken on a small digital camera). If I change the size on the stills, won’t that just bring the still image quality down?
I’m still baffled at why using the export quick time movie command makes a video of lower quality than when using quick time conversion (in other cases as well, not just this project). In every case, I’ve got digital pictures and movies from my digital camera, and some text in FCE or LiveType files on top of that, usually with additional audio tracks.

Help with House keeping Archivelog files....!!

Hi,
I am trying to develop a script for housekeeping archive log files. The archives are written to a local disk, then moved to a different location, before being backed up to a tape. The purpose of the script is to identify and move the archive logs to a different location.
Following is the code for the script:
ORACLE_SID=BSCSDEV1
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1
PATH=$ORACLE_BASE:$ORACLE_HOME:$PATH
ARCHDIR1=/oracle/oradata/BSCSDEV1/arch1
ARCHDIR2=/oracle/oradata/BSCSDEV1/arch2
rm -f archout.txt
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME PATH
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S '/ as sysdba'<<END
@archquery.sql
exit
END
while read line
do
dir=`dirname $line`
file=`basename $line`
if [ $dir = $ARCHDIR1 ]; then
if [ -f $line ]; then
echo "$file : matched"
mv $line $HOME/movedfiles/$file
fi
elif [ $dir = $ARCHDIR2 ]; then
if [ -f $line ]; then
echo "$file : matched"
mv $line $HOME/movedfiles/$file
fi
else
echo "No Files to Move......"
fi
done < $HOME/archout.txt
ARCHQUERY.SQL:
set linesize 75
set verify on
set feedback off
set heading on
set termout off
set serveroutput on
set pagesize 999
spool archout.txt
select name,completion_time
from v$archived_log
where to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI')<=(select to_char(sysdate - (30/1440),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') from dual)
and
to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI')<=(select to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') from dual)
and
to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON')=(select to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON') from dual)
and
archived='YES';
spool off
My Logic:
I am trying to identify the archive files generated every 30 minutes from v$archived_logs. For this, I am using the COMPLETED_TIME column and am comparing the same with SYSDATE.
These files, I am comparing with the files in the archive destination and then am moving them to a different location.
My problem:
When I test the query, it lists out even those outside the timerange. Also, files that are shown as completed in the ARCHIVED columns and are physically present are not identified for at least 45 minutes.
Could one of you please go through the scripts and tell me where I am going wrong?
Any tips in this regard is deeply appreciated.
Thanking You all in advance,
Sriraman.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In my production setup, the client's techspecs insist on setting up only 1 archival destination. I did suggest the usage of a second destination, but they do not want it. They did not give me any concrete reason for this. So I have no option but to do this.
It is therefore necessary that we move only those archive files that have been completed and not files being currently used.
That is the reason for this script.
Could you please have a look at it and tell me if I am missing something here?
Regards,
Sriraman
