How do I read from a text file that is longer than 65536 lines and write the data to an Excel spreadshee​t and have the data write to a new column once the 65536 cells are filled in a column?

I have data that is in basic generic text file format that needs to be converted into Excel spreadsheet format.  The data is much longer than 65536 lines, and in my code I haven't been able to figure out how to carry over the data into the next column.  Currently the conversion is done manually and generates an Excel file that has a total of 30-40 full columns of data.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Darrick 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No need to use nested For loops. No need for any loop anyway. You just have to use a reshape array function. The picture below shows how to proceed.
However, there may be an issue if your element number is not a multiple of the number of columns : zero value elements will be added at the end of the last column in the generated 2D array. Now the issue depends on the way you intend store the data in the Excel spreadsheet : you could convert the data as strings, replace the last zero values with empty strings, and write the whole 2D array to a file (with the .xls extension ) using the write to spreadsheet function. Only one (minimal) problem : define the number of decimal digits to be used;
or you could write the numeric array directly to a true Excel spreadsheet, using either the NI report generation tools or ActiveX commands, then replace the last elements with empty strings.
We need more input from you to decide how to solve these last questions.

    Extra Question::::::: Is it possible to write records to a text file. If you have not idea what I am talking about then ignore it.
    Manny thanks,
    your help is much appreciated though you don't know it!

    Do 3 things.
    -- Look through the API at the java.io package.
    -- Search previous posts for "read write from text file"
    -- Search java.sun.com for information on the java.io package.
    That should clear just about everything up. If you have more specific problems, feel free to come back and post them.

    Some additional comments:
    You really don't want to read any file one character at a time, because it is highly inefficient. More typically, you read the entire file into memory with one operation (or at least a large chunk, if the file is gigantic) and then do the rest of the operations in memory.  One easy way to analyze it one byte at a time would be to use "string to byte array" and then autoindex into a FOR loop, for example.
    Of course you could also read the file directly as a U8 array instead of a string.

    Thanks for your interest. Please ignore SetOperations class, it is just the class containing the methods and it works correctly since I checked it without reading from a text file. I marked the part where I think lies my problem in class SetTestOperations.
    The information in the text file is as follows:
    membera
    Hillman
    membera
    Skoda
    membera
    Honda
    membera
    Toyota
    and the result is:
    [0] Hillman
    Number of set members: 1
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    Number of set members: 2
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    Number of set members: 3
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    [3] Toyota
    Number of set members: 4
    instead of just one set:
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    [3] Toyota
    Number of set members: 4
    Hope it is easier to understand like this.

  • Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
    pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
    pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
    I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
    Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
    void ReadTextFile()
                        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                         InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                         char[] buf=new char[1024];
                         isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                         fstr=new String(buf);
                         String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                          pcode1=st.nextToken();
                               pname1=st.nextToken();
              price1=st.nextToken();
                              sname1=st.nextToken();
         } //close of while loop
                    } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
    MyClassName.pcode1;
    MyClassName.pname1;
    MyClassName.price1;
    MyClassName.sname1

    I mean the PHP would generate a readable Java source,
    for example some variables with some data, and I just
    dont know what to do with file if I want generate the

  • How to remove noisy data points read from a text file

    Reading data measurements taken in from a txt file.  How do I get rid of noise aside from going into the text file and deciding point by point what to delete.

    Well going in point by point and deleting is certainly one way of going about it. Of course that would defeat the entire purpose of having this great programming enviroment that is capable of doing that kind of thing for us.
    Is your text file small enough to upload? Obviously you know what the criteria are for judging whether or not a data point is acceptable so it should be simple enough to program. Give us a bit more information and I can assure you there will be a race between LabVIEW experts to see who can post the cleanest, simplest, and fastest piece of code that will do what you need. My wager is on altenbach, but there are a few others here that are almost as impressive.

  • How to save input from a text file in to array

    I got this assignment, and almost have no clue, and my teacher doesn't even teaches us anything
    This is what i am suppose to do
    5. The program must store the following data about each student in this Talent Show:
    * The student's name (store as a String)
    * The student's average time score [only for the events they competed in] (store as a Double)
    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 times

    My code so far
    import java.io.*;

            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println ("error=" + e.toString ());
    }My question, how do i save the data in to an array, and how do i seperatly save names in to different array, and their scores in to different arrays
    bte he said you can use scanner class
    Thanks

It is after all your responsibility and complaining won't help you any.

  • Read from a text file line by line

    Hi,
    I am new to Labview and I am trying to output a text file line by line. For example if my text file is
    START
    SETRPM 1000
    WAIT 10s
    RAMP RPM linear,1000,2000,2 MAF linear,5,7,2
    WAIT 5s
    RAMP RPM sine,2000,1500,3 MAF sine,7,3,3
    END
    I want it to output
    START
    SETRPM 1000
    SETMAF 5 ...and so on
    I tried modifying this code provided by Altenbach but it is still not working as I want it to. Can anyone direct me toward how I can fix this?
    Thank you!
     

    Your program does exactly what you asked it to do.  In particular, it will repeat 10 times, at one per second, reading (and storing in String) the (unchanging) data that you bring in on the Shift Register.  This data will consist of the first line of the (assumed-)multi-line file you specified.
    I suppose your question is "Why is it only showing me one line?"  This is where it really pays to "Read the Directions Carefully" (or, in this case, carefully read the Help for Read from Text File).
    Bob Schor
    P.S. -- I pointed your code at a text file of 7 lines on my PC.  When I made a few small changes (including doing away with the silly For loop that shows the same thing over and over) , I got out an array, size 7, containing the lines of text.

  • I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

    I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
    I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • How can you detect (from a script file) that javac found problems?

    The subject line says it all, but the background is:
    I have a script file (.bat, since am stuck on windoze for the moment) which is doing some compilation using javac.
    I would like to skip all subsequent activities in the script file after the call to javac if any file failed to compile.
    So, what can I use as a signal from javac that it found a problem?
    I initially tried detecting an exit code from javac that was non zero, but javac does not seem to emit such an exit coe when it objects to a file (it still returns with 0 as an exit code).
    The only remaining strategy that I can think of is to pipe javac's output to a file, and if there is any content in it then assume that it indicates an error and use that as a signal.
    This is suboptimal because it will give false signals for mere warnings, so if anyone has a better suggestion, please post

    You are right: it appears that javac does exit with an exit code of 1 if an error is detected in one of the files being compiled, at least on the windows jdk.
    To prove this, create an arbitrary java source file called HelloWorld.java, and create a msdos .bat file in the same directory that looks like
    @echo on
    javac  -Xlint:deprecation  HelloWorld.java
    :handleError
    @if not errorlevel 1 goto finalActions
    @echo ERROR DETECTED: compile.bat will TERMINATE PREMATURELY
    :finalActions
    @echo compile.bat now terminatedBy playing around with what you put in the source file (totally clean code, stuff that should compile but issue a warning, and garbage that should not compile) as well as with the exit code value detected by the .bat file, for instance trying
    @if not errorlevel 2 goto finalActions(see http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.html if you need some documentation on error codes in dos bat files), I have determined the following as javac's behavior on windows:
    If code is pristine, exit code = 0.
    If code causes javac to emit a warning but is compilable, exit code = 0.
    If code cannot be compiled, exit code = 1.

  • How to read in a text file of race lap times....

    How do i read in a text file containing lap times from a race for one driver?
    I have the times down 1 column and look like this.
    I then want to add the times up to get a total race time. I have been looking at the Calendar class and the simpleDateFunction but not sure how to go about it.

    Considering that your times have non-numerical chars you have no choice but to read them as Strings. Once you have done that you will need to parse the times yourself, ie spilt it into the three separate bits of data. Then you can use the Calendar class if you wish or you can keep a running tally yourself. Just don't forget to tick over seconds when milliseconds reaches 999 and tick over minutes when seconds reach 59.

  • Ability to create a collection from a text file containing the names of the pictures

    1 thing that would be very good is the ability to create a collection / quick collection from a text file that contains the names of the picture we want in that collection...
    The reason for that is when i receive an order from a customer typicaly 100-200 different pictures (i'm a wedding photographer), i ask my customer to send me an excel spread sheet with all the name or number of the picture thay want with size & quantity...
    I would like to be able to use that file as an input for a batch job that would add all those files to a collection "customer order" instaid od adding them 1 by 1... it would save me lots of time and would prevent some errors in the order...
    I am currently able to do that with the help of a small utility (Useful File Utility) is the name... with the other RAW converter i use... Bibble

    Well, it is workflow software, true, but it's really focussed on image development. What you're proposing would necessarily make the primary focus be on the business angle, I suspect.
    If you're talking about tools to help customers sit down and pick what they want for manual processing later, that's one thing - but going the rest of the distance to order processing and fulfillment would be out of scope, at least in my view. The reason is that there is just so much room for potential variation in how this gets conducted that I can't see how Adobe could possibly satisfy every pro with one implementation. Even just dealing with all of the possible payment vendors is a hugely problematic area.
    I agree with Don; a third-party plugin via the upcoming SDK might be a distinct possibility, particularly if it were for a "plus services" solution in which the plugin were designed to work with a specific fulfillment vendor. THAT could work quite nicely, and the plugin might even be free (in return for giving the vendor your business, of course).
    In other words, it's not that I see it as a bad idea, it's just that I don't think it belongs in the "core" of LR. This is something that is best dealt with using the SDK so that differences in processes can be allowed for.
