How do I prevent sharing a text file by different users

Hello,
I am using LV8.6.1 and writing this application that read and write to a text file. The application is being used by many users at different sites and I want to prevent writing to the text file when other user is already using it (reading or writing to it). The other user should only be able to use it when it's not being read or getting written.
Any suggestions? I know LV file function 'Set Permissions' won't work. I need a file attribute that tells that the file is open, so don't use it.

I think the only real obtion is one I've seen some other programs use.
Create a lock file in the same directory.
1. You want to open myfile.txt.
2. Your program looks to see if myfile.lck is present. (Same filename, just the extension is different)
3. If it is present, you don't open the file or you give a warning.
4. If it is not present, you create a myfile.lck file. It could be a small text file. Perhaps you place in it the user name of the person who is opening the file.
5. When your VI is done with the file and "closes" it, your VI deletes the myfile.lck file.
So the presence of the myfile.lck file indicates the file is being used.
The absence of the myfile.lck indicates the file is available to be used.
The only risk is if somehow the person who "takes out" the file somehow ends their application unexpectedly and the .lck file doesn't get deleted even though they are done. You would need to manually go in and delete the .lck file. But username data in the .lck could help determine who had the file last and you could confirm if they are really using it or not. Putting the filedate in the warning information would help determine if it was a recent lock, or an old lock that is likely stale.

var str = String(Math.round(Math.random()*9)+1);
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.openAsync(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeUTFBytes(str);
fileStream.close();
Can any one solve this issue?

i have filter the file chooser for only text files,

please tell me how and where to use it..How? -- See the IO Tutorials on Sun for the FileReader (and I assume you know how to call setText and append in the JTextArea).
Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.
Give it a try.

Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported.
These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file

How do I prevent Save as .csv file alwways appending .txt to the filename if I choose the "Open with" action?

My ASP csv download page is calling:
Response.Clear
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=filename.csv"
Response.ContentType = "Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8"
When I click on the link to this ASP page the Firefox "Opening filename.csv" dialog appears:
filename.csv
which is a: Text Document
If I choose "Open with <Any Application name>" the file is always opened by the application with a .txt appended to the filename, which in this particular case prevents my spreadsheet software from correctly opening it.
a) How do I prevent the .txt being appended to the file name if OpenWith is used?
b) Is there a way to add a CSV type to the Tools->Options Applications Content Type list to prevent the "which is a: Text Document" message?
This behaviour does not happen in Chrome, Opera, Safari or IE.

Is there no entry in Application Options for text/csv?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type csv and pause while Firefox filters the list.
If you have Microsoft Office installed, the dialog typically lists "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File (text/csv)" (you need to display the mouseover tooltip to see all of it).
I assume Firefox extracts this information from the registry. If you want to reset the Application Options and have Firefox rebuild them, the method is described in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files#w_reset-download-actions-for-all-file-types ("Reset download actions for all file types")

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp
Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

Enter insert buffer size (minimum is 8192) 30720> 8192
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

Note: Some of the data comes directly from the text file, and some of the data must be calculated from the data that is read from the file.
6. The program must search through all of the student's scores to find the student who has the minumum average time of all students.
7. You must calculate how many events each student played. Zero values are not counted.
8. You must then generate a report on the screen that prints out
* the total number of students in the competition,
* the winning student's ...
o name
o times
o average time (rounded to one decimal places)
Sample output

My code so far
import java.io.*;
public class test
    public static void main (String [] args)
        FileInputStream File1;
        DataInputStream In;
        String fileInput = "";
        try
           File1 = new FileInputStream ("data.txt");
            In = new DataInputStream (File1);
            while (In.available () > 0)
                fileInput = In.readLine ();
                System.out.println (fileInput);
            In.close ();
        catch (FileNotFoundException e)
            System.out.println ("Error - this file does not exist");
        catch (IOException e)
            System.out.println ("error=" + e.toString ());

who are you to judge meHe is jaded by our experiences here. 99% of posters who complain that the teacher doesn't teach have adequate (note that I didn't say good) teachers, but it's the student who is failing to take responsibility for his own education. It is after all your responsibility and complaining won't help you any.
Good luck.

How do I prevent sharing a text file by different users
