How to Get Windows Dir info with file dates

I need to get the directory contents (file Name) and date of each file in the directory. If I ask file by file to get the date, it takes a very long time. I am checking about 28,000 files in about 4 directories.
Because the PC has so many files in each directory, accessing the file names / dates is slow. It takes about 30min. to get the information currently.
Does anyone know about a single VI that will get the dates and the names at the same time?
Thanks,
CH

I had this vi laying around (LabVIEW 6.02) for a project that never went anywhere. It's a simple search for file name and last modified time.
Warning: This is to give you an idea of how to solve the problem. It is not tested! It returns time values in LV seconds (since 1905, easy to convert). It has any number of warts (memory usage, listing llb contents, etc), but might be a start for you.
Good luck.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I've been playing around with some of the classes of the java.net package and java.io
    Using the URL class i can get the content of the data from a STATIC page and output that response to file so that is does not display to the client broswer.
    But this only works if the URL i give points to a static html page.
    So the problem i'm getting is if i'm righting in arguments in the URL, this means that server needs to process the arguments i give and its sends back a dynamic result. Because its dynamic the URL class can not handle this and throws me an exception everytime :(
    Have u ever tried to do some things like this?

  • How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

    How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
    So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
    The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
    When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
    This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
    I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
    Any Help welcome :|
    Tim

    Tim,
    MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

  • How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key?

    How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key? I'm trying to install WinServer 2012 Trial on a VMWare Workstation 9. I'm asked for the product key during set up. If I ignore putting in the key (since I don't have one) The install fails stating no valid
    key. I tried this with Oracle's Virtual Box and the same thing happens. I tried using Majic JellyBean to find the key, but that only works on pre-installed OS. A Technet article said to use aaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd etc. in the spaces. That doesn't work either.
    Articles all over the web seem to have other people in the same boat. Please help :)

    Download the trial version from here -
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/evaluate/trial-software.aspx  It does not require a key.  If the software is asking for a key, it is not the trial copy.  Where did you get your copy?

    I think you want to get the latitude and longitude information of client accessing the web application. In the web application you cannot directly get the client location information as the nature of the web application is different from windows applications.
    I advise you to develop a Silverlight component and in that Silverlight component use geolocation classes to get client location. Please refer this article for getting data in Silverlight http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/82b980/getting-geo-location-of-user-in-silverlight/
    And once you get the location information you can send that data back to ASP.net webpage or call any javascript method as shown here http://ovaismehboob.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/bridging-data-between-asp-net-and-silverlight/

  • How To: Get encoding of a remote file

    How To: Get encoding of a remote file
    Java EE
    URL url = new URL ("http://www.someSite.com/myCsvFile.csv"); // comma separated
    InputStream is = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(is);
    System.out.println("reader.getEncoding(): " + reader.getEncoding());
    For both an ISO-8859-1 file and a UTF-8 file I get the following print out:
    reader.getEncoding(): Cp1252
    Could it have something to do with this warning during boot the .war?
    [WARNING] Using platform encoding (Cp1252 actually) to copy filtered resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!
    If I use local files it prints ISO8859_1 for one of the files.

    All of that is because the HTTP server attaches a charset to every response. That's what you are seeing. The server may be using some logic to determine the actual encoding of the file it returns, or it may simply be using a hard-coded charset which may or may not be suitable for reading the file. The latter is unfortunately more likely.
    By the way if you receive an XML file over HTTP, and the HTTP charset differs from the encoding declared in the XML document, there's a rule which says the HTTP charset takes precedence. (I don't know where that rule is documented, but I have encountered that situation in real life -- the data came from a Google application -- and that rule was indeed the right thing to do.)
    If you're still under the impression that there's something which can look at a file and determine what encoding was used to produce it, let me tell you that there isn't. Sure, there's that XML prolog thing which works for XML files (if they weren't botched by the producer), but for text files in general there's no way to determine their encoding. Short of asking the person who created them, that is.

  • XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

    I followed a procedure described in a book.
    1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
    2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
    3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
    Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
    Xaml file by the book:
    <Window.Resources>
    <!-- This part is missing in my xaml file --><XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
    Source="\Inventory.xml"

    Never do yourself down Richard.
    Leave that to other people.
    It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
    I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
    And to repeat.
    Never use anything ends .. provider.  They're for trivial demo apps.  Transform xml into objects and use them.  Write it back as xml.  Preferably, use a database.

  • How to get window system user?

    Hi,
    How to get window system user use PL/SQL(form develope6i)?

    If you don't use Oracle database then you will have to do one of two things:
    (1) Now I'm back in the office I can check D2KWUTIL. The version I have comes with Forms6.0, so it is somewhat out of date, but it has a method called WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Username - which works for NT/95 only, although I'm sure a later version will support more recent OS.
    (2) If that's no good then you'll have to use whatever facilities your database offers: I only know Oracle.
    I also repeat my suggestion that you try the Forms forum for additional help. This is the Database forum and so is focused on serverside Oracle PL/SQL. For your needs the Developer Suite forums are better.
    Cheers, APC

  • Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

    I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
    I have sticky keys enabled.
    When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
    The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
    When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
    If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
    Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
    Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
    Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
    Dictation On and Off
    To use Dictation, click On.
    When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
    Shortcut
    By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
    To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

    I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

  • How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
    Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
    I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
    re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
    As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store.  It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
    to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

    Hey all, I'm planning to upgrade our WLS6.0 Express to WLS 7.0 Express in our production server. I'm just wondering is it possible to upgrade directly from 6.0 to 7.0 without upgrade to 6.1 first? Any successful story? Thx in advance! Henry
