How do I split text files and save them as different records

Hi,
I am trying to load files now from INBOX of a mail system
directly into the database.
We are collecting the news stories which get emailed to us.
The Inbox file is a huge file with some kind of delimiter.
How can I break at the delimiter and make the messages
seperate using any of ORACLE tools.
we have
orcl 805
forms/reports 5.0
orcl express
discoverer
Please let me know if we have to use PEARL/C to accomplish this.
or the UTL_FILE package in PL/SQL CAN HELP .
thank you very much for your attention

hi arvin,
i hope u would have tried out with sql * loader. If not, just try
it out, i feel ur motive could be achieved with the loader .
U need to prepare a control file with the loader options like
insert, or replace, or append ... and the delimiter ur using and
the table specs. u can find the syntax of loader statement by
typing sqlldr from ur unix prompt.

I want to read the line that before and after 1 0, 2 0, ...N 0 line to arraylist. I have programed the following code
public ArrayList<String>save2;
public BufferedWriter bufwriter;
File writefile;
String filepath, filecontent, read;
String readStr = "" ;
String[]temp = null;
public String readfile(String path) {
int i = 0;
ArrayList<String> save = new ArrayList <String>();
try {
filepath = "D:\\thesis\\Material\\data\\CriticalNetwork\\test3.txt";
File file = new File(filepath);
FileReader fileread = new FileReader(file);
BufferedReader bufread = new BufferedReader(fileread);
this.read = null;
// read text file and save each line content to arraylist
while ((read = bufread.readLine()) != null ) {
save.add(read);
// split each arraylist[i] element by space and save it to String[]
for(i=0; i< save.size();i++){
this.temp = save.get(i).split(" ") ;
// if String[] contain N 0 such as 0 0, 1 0, 2 0 then save its previous and next line from save arraylist to save2 arraylist
if (temp.equals(i+"0")){
this.save2.add(save.get(i));
System.out.println(save2.get(i));
} catch (Exception d) {
System.out.println(d.getMessage());
return readStr;
My code has something wrong. It always printout null. Can anyone help me?

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder

Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.
Thanks Vince

I haven't looked closely, but my spidey sense tingles at this:
new FileOutputStream(MPath)This will clobber (erase) the previous contents of the file. Open in append mode:
new FileOutputStream(MPath, true)Of course, if the file exists before you run this code, you will end up append to the original contents. If that is not wanted, consider using File's delete method first.

Read multiple text files and sort them

I am trying to read multiple text files and store the data from the file in vector.
but for days. I am with no luck. anyone can help me out with it? any idea of how to sort them will be appreciated.
Below is part of the code I implemented.
public class packet {
    private int timestamp;
    private int user_id;
    private int packet_id;
    private int packet_seqno;
    private int packet_size;
    public packet(int timestamp0,int user_id0, int packet_id0,int packet_seqno0, int packet_size0)
        timestamp = timestamp0;
        user_id=user_id0;
        packet_id=packet_id0;
        packet_seqno=packet_seqno0;
        packet_size=packet_size0;
    public void setTime(int atimestamp)
        this.timestamp=atimestamp;
    public void setUserid(int auserid)
        this.user_id=auserid;
    public void setPacketid(int apacketid)

Having trouble reading specific lines from a text file and displaying them in a listbox

Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it. Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple. Here's a simple class example:
Public Class Animal
Public Property Name As String
Public Property Cage As String
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
End Function
End Class
With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
While Not reader.EndOfStream
Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
If lineIndex = 0 Then
currentAnimal.Name = line
ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
currentAnimal.Cage = line
Exit While
End If
lineIndex += 1
End While
animals.Add(currentAnimal)
End Using
Next
'do something to display the animals list
Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView. If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

How to Read the "text file and csv file" through powershell Scripts

Hi All
i need to add a multiple users in a particular Group through powershell Script how to read the text and CSV files in powershell
am completly new to Powershell scripts any one pls respond ASAP.with step by step process pls
Regards:
Rajeshreddy.k

Hi Rajeshreddy.k,
To add multiple users to one group, I wouldn't use a .csv file since the only value you need from a list is the users to be added.
To start create a list of users that should be added to the group, import this list in a variable called $users, the group distinguishedName in a variable called $Group and simply call the ActiveDirectory cmdlet Add-GroupMember.
$Users = Get-Content -Path 'C:\ListOfUsernames.txt'
$Group = 'CN=MyGroup,OU=MyOrg,DC=domain,DC=lcl'
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group -Members $Users

How to sign a pdf file and save it directly back to sharepoint site?

Hello,
I own a Sharepoint site for testing. It is installed in my computer with Sharepoint 2010 (WSS). What I want to do is to find a way to achieve a signing function for pdf file type on sharepoint.
By refer to this site below, the site has been able to recognize pdf file type and open it and edit it directly on the sharepoint site.
http://www.portalsolutions.net/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=40
I can edit the pdf file by checking out and then the modification will be save directly back to the pdf file in the shared document library when I am done. Now the problem is, I cannot save the pdf directly back to sharepoint after I inserted a digital signature
to the pdf file.
Everytime I inserted a digital signature to the pdf file, a "save as..." window would pop up and asked me to save the signed pdf file as another file in my local computer, so the changes were not applied to the original pdf file on the shared document library
of my sharepoint site. I have to upload the local signed version back to the site and replace the old one manually.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
Mengxin Wu

Hi,
According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
as a new version.
I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

How can I copy Word Document and save them in my iPad?

Hi, I just recieved my iPad 3 today. I've never used the Apple format before. All of my recipes are in Microsoft Word all neatly organized, there are many... I mean a lifetime of them and I'm old! I bought the iPad to use it in the kitchen and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to transfer my Word files to my iPad and put them in a document folder. Can anyone help? I sure would appreiciate it.

There are no document folders in the iPad. Files and documents are saved within the app that is used to create, edit and view the corresponding files. You need an app that can read and edit Word files and you will be able to save the files within that app.
You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud service, use iOS file sharing or use iCloud - if you use one of the Apple iWorks apps - in this case it would be Pages.
There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think.

How to compile other java files and run them from my own programs?

I'm developing a unit testing tool for AspectJ, which can originally generate the stubs for aspect unit to be tested. All these stubs are java files. After generation of stubs, how can I program the code to compile this unit together with these stubs, i.e. how can I put the functionality of compilation and run, e.g. command "javac *.java" and "java *", into my own code.
Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thank you in advance.

When I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) for executing the AspectJ compile command "ajc", "IOException createProcess error=2" always occurs, while it is ok for Java comiple command "javac".
Why this happens when I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ajc Hello.java Test.aj")? Is it the reason that Runtime.exec(String) may not support any command in DOS?
(ajc is the compile command for the java file and aj file.)
Thank you in advance.

How do I convert AAC files and put them on my SD card

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert some of my itunes track unto my sd card and then play them with my zen. ? The problem is I can't figure out how to get zen media explorer to put the converted files on my sd card. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help and information is very much appreciated.

Your instructions does not seem to address the issue of putting converted aac files onto the sd card.
Yes, they do. What they don't answer is "How do I configure <insert random media management application> to convert tracks between different audio formats and DIRECTLY store the converted output to the SD card I have installed in my Zen?
Why not? Because it isn't really possible. The internal memory of the Zen and the SD card contents are completely distinct storage areas and are not simultaneously visible to the host computer. You either have the Zen in MTP mode where you can interact with the internal memory or you have the Zen in Removable Disk mode where you can interact with the SD(HC) card. It is an either-or proposition. So you must (a) convert your music files to a location on your host computer, (b) put the Zen into Removable Disk mode, (c) transfer the converted files to the SD card and then (d) restore the Zen to MTP mode (where you can use the Memory Card menu items to browse/play the files).
I suppose I could pull back on the "not possible" part a bit since a stand-alone audio converter should allow you to set a user-specified output folder. As such you could put the Zen into Removable Disk mode first and then configure the converter to send files to the approriate folder on whatever dri've letter the SD card gets mapped to.
Message Edited by daemonvi on 05-8-2009 2:0 PM
I think I want to start with (a), now can I use Zen media explorer to convert the files and place in another location on my computer or I must I download a 3rd party application to do this?
