How to check if the path exists and if not, create it
I'm trying to check if the path given by the user already exists. In case it doesn't, I'd like to create a folder with name given in the same directory.
Let's say path_1: "C:\folder1" and path_2: "C:\folder2", and suppose that folder1 exists but folder2 doesn't. Then if the path given by the user is the path_1, then ok, nothing happens, but if it is the path_2, then the programm should realize that it doesn't exist in C:\ and should ask you whether you want to create it or not.
I know how to do that for files, but not for folders!
Thanks in advance
hi guys,
i`m new at this so im gonne prob. ask a noob`s question...
i have the same issue as in the title.
but when i run :
int a,b,c,d,folderexist=-1;
switch (event)
case EVENT_COMMIT:
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_NAME, name);
folderexist = GetFileAttrs (name, &a, &b, &c, &d);
if (folderexist==-1)
MakeDir (name);
sprintf...........
else.......
if the folder do exists it works perfectly.
if it doesnt - it breaks the run and gives me the message :
NON-FATAL RUN-TIME ERROR: "NewScap.c", line 317, col 27, thread id 0x00001B98: Library function error (return value == -1 [0xffffffff]).
(and mark the getfileattrs line in blue)
and when i check the "folderexits" value it shows 2!? not 1 not 0 not even -1, but 2...
can somone please help ?
thanks
Adi.

How to check if an object exists and how to discard it?
Greetings,
I have a main GUI panel in a JFrame that creates a smaller JFrame with a progress bar and text area whenever a process is initiated. I've set the default close operation to DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE as when I set it to EXIT_ON_CLOSE the main GUI panel closes as well (!). But whenever I'm closing the smaller JFrame and initiate a new thread, then the same operation is perform in parallel 2, 3 ,4 times, etc. It seems that the object of the class ProgressGUI which carries all the components of the small panel is not disposed properly. So my question is how can I check if an object exists and if yes how can I discard it? Or in other words how can I discard the JFrame of the small panel without closing the main GUI panel as well?
thanks,
ThomasI've set the default close operation to DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE thats right.
So my question is how can I check if an object exists Whenever you create an object, save its refrence somewhere, then just check
if(reference==null){
//object does not exist
}else {
//object exists
and if yes how can I discard it? Ensure that no references of the object to be discarded are remaining with any of the objects and then believe in 'Garbage Collector' to do the job! e.g. if there is only one reference to the frame (in your case) somewhere, you can just make an assignment like:
reference=null;by doing this, you have made the object a candidate for garbage collection. Rest is done by 'Garbage Collector', not you.
For cases like yours, it is better to make the small frame just once and whenever required just make the frame visible.
e.g.
JFrame smallFrame;
void showSmallFrame(){
if(smallFrame==null)smallFrame=new SmallFrame(); //or something like that
smallFrame.setVisible(true);
}Thanks! -
Utl_file.open_file question to check if a file exists and is not empty
Hello,
I am trying to write a code where in 3 seperate files are created based on some parameter condition for the extract call.
Say the parameters are NULL, 'A' and 'B'.
When Null condition is passed to the extract call then it should create file A and B if records are found. If not it should create empty files.
It is possible that the parameter to the extract is just 'A' then it would create A with say non zero file and B with zero file.
Now when the extract is called with 'B' parameter and if the file A already exists and is not empty then I should not touch/overwrite it with empty records.
Is there any simple way that I can do this to check if a file exists and is non empty?
I am using
open_file
( gv_utl_file_path
,lv_file_name
,lv_file_handle
Please help.
Thanks@OP : No Need to open

How can I get the path name and rename it?
I Hope someone who knows more about automator than I can help me out here. What I'm trying to do is get the path file name, while also changing part of it. Here is my example:
I can get the path name with this "Get Path" script I found http://automatorworld.com/archives/get-path/all-comments/
It does half the job so I just need to tweak it but know how. When I get the path this is what I'll get: /Volumes/Public/Creative Services/Campaigns/2010/NCDDiv-32CDV Upgrade/NCDDIV-32Versions.xls
I need to remove the beginning part"/volumes" to "file://///nhmanmkt01"
This is so I can send the path from our sever where we keep our files to my windows friends so they can open it.
Thanks for any help you can provide!ok, make the following workflow.
1. get selected finder items.
2. run shell script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

set the script to accept input as arguments

save it as a finder plugin. -
How to check if the member exists in essbase cube using IF cond.
Hello,
I have a requirement to validate certain accounts and if they exist or not and use them in calc. We have certain list of percent accounts which have some driver amounts. If the user selects the parent account, it should automatically calc with percent accounts to generate the values for all its children.
The issue is we have lots of accounts and lots of percent accounts, its not that all accounts have the percent accounts. thats the problem.
When I Fix at a high level of accounts, am getting this error which says that member doesnt exists and return empty member set.
Error executing formula for [Revcnt] (line 49): attempt to cross a null member in function [@X]
Its the same even if I use Set Emptymembersets ON;
The script is below,
FIX(@Relative({SelectAccount},0),
"Revcnt"(
IF(@ISMBR(@MEMBER(@CONCATENATE(@NAME(@CURRMBR("Account")),"%"))
Condition ;
ENDIF);
ENDFIX
Is there a command to validate if the member exists in the cube or not???
We are using 11.1.2.1 Essbase on Windows 64bit.The silly question first:
Why not user dynamic calc for the members you need? When updating the structure, you create the formula. Your verification if a member exists will be done in, for example, a select statement that create the dimension.
Now the complex idea:
Is it possible in your application recreate the script every time you update the dimension?
My example:
Here we have a cube that change the account dimension very often. So the cube have an CalcScript that need to be updated every time the dimension changes.
For that purpose, we have a process that read the database and recreate the calc with the correct members.
I never tested that solution with calc manager, but i think it's less complex than recognize the member itself during calculation. -

My ipod got a little wet but it wasnt that bad. none of the inside was wet really and the red dot hasnt appeared.........i was wondering if there is something else wrong with it because it keeps pausing when i dont do anything to it
As a precaution I would dry the iPod by:
How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
After it is dry I would try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
For a nano the drying still applies
You have to find out how to reset the Nano
Yu can then try restoring via iTunes -

DBCA errors and do not create DB
While I try to create DB using Oracle 9i DBCA, I get error that /etc/oratab file doesn't exist and do not create DB on Unix tru64.
I already have many DBs on the server, I need to create a small test DB.
I see the oratab file exist but is renamed with suffix like oratab_h
now how do I point DBCA to that oratab file. I dont want other db to be disturbed if i run root.sh file.
any suggestions, shall rename the oratab to original name or run root.sh? what the best solution.
This looks like Oracle RAC version of DB Software.
When i open DBCA i get option like:
What type of database would you like to create or administer?
1) Oracle cluster database
2) Oracle Single instance database
I found no diff in both the options to create DB.
Appreciate sugestions.

I able to check for the parent folder.
But cant able to check the subfolder in the document library.

SundharHi Sundhar,
According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml =
@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
<Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
//camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
if (0 == items.Count)
//create sub folder here
Best regards
