How to handle trailing Null columns in a Batch file when ESB reads the file

Dear All,
How can I handle trailing Null columns in a batch file (csv file) that is been used by an ESB FTP adapter for batch file processing.
Since ESB is some times taking up the whole next record as the last column data..
Please update
many thanks...

If your file is not designed to be amazingly large, then you don't need to use a temporary file -- you can just read the data into memory and manipulate it there. (Like, into a Document object or something.)
But if you are dealing with really large files, you might want to consider using a database back end instead of a text file, which is a completely different approach I know but... well, that's why databases were invented.

How to edit in photoshop cc from LR 5 it won't read the file, please help me!!!

I can not get my updated lr 5 and photoshop cc to work together? I don't know how to fix this problem but it will not read my file to "edit in" photoshop cc. Please help me understand the change I need to make to help this process along? I know Lr 5 created a new version of the same catalog from lr 4.4 today. I just don't know how to make this work????

Yes I'm having the same problem... it does say "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC" on my newly downloaded version of both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC (both downloaded from Creative Cloud Desktop)

LR 5: How to relocate photo files when LR says the file can not be found?

I moved my photo files to another folder and now LR can't find them.
How do I change the LR file location to coincide with the actual location?

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

How to preserve the column headings from my playlist when I transfer the list as WAV files to a flash drive?

I have digitized several old vinyls as WAV files and have them in my MacBook Pro in an iTunes playlist. I have arranged the list under the column headings of "Grouping", "Name", "Time", "Artist", "Album" and "Genre". When I copy the files to a flash drive by drag-and-drop, none of the headings except "Name" show up. How to preserve all of the column headings when copying the file to an external device? Thanks - RC@gnv.

I have the same issue when trying to sync from iTunes 11 on my MacBook to my iPhone 4 iOS6.1. I blindly did the iOS upgrade to 6.1 (more fool me) and since then have not been able to use my phone as an iPod.
I have tried restoreing it, I ve tried restoring it to a new phone but it hasn't worked for me.
The sync starts and the capacity bar in iTunes shows capacity including and music or films etc that are to be included in the sync and then iTunes stops the sync and nothing has been transfered. As with your experience the music is shown in iTunes under Music, under Devices as greyed out with the syncing icon (dotted circle) to the left of it.
When I try to include photos in the sync, I also get an error msg stating the connection to the iPhone has been lost. I am trying to do the sync vis USB, so I dont why I get this error.
I can of course download any music I've bought from Apple from my iCloud to my phone but I want to be able to put any music I want on to it like I could before on iOS5.

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:

Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

How to replace or remove last 500 bytes of a file without rewriting all the file?

Hi everyone,
Usually I only ask for help when I can't find a solution for several days or weeks... And guess what? That just happen!
So, this is what i am trying to do:
I have a program to ZIP folder and protect them with password, then it encrypts the zip file.
That it's working fine, until the user forgets his password.
So, what I want to do is give the user a Recovery Password option for each ZIP file created. I can't use the Windows Registry because the idea is to be able to recover the password in any computer.So i came up with an idea...
In simple terms, this will work like this:
0 - Choose folder to ZIP
1 - Ask user for recover details (date of birth, email etc)
2 - ZIP folder with password
3 - Encrypt ZIP file
4 - Encrypt recover details and convert it to HEX
5 - Add recover details (in HEX) to the end of the ZIP file (last bytes)
6 - Add "5265636F76657244657461696C73" which is the text "RecoverDetails" in HEX
7 - Add "504B0506000000000000000000000000000000000000" this is the final bytes of a ZIP file and will make the Operating System think that is a ZIP file (i know that will give an error when we try to open it.. the ideia is to change the
extension later and use my software to do all the work to access this ZIP/folder again)
So, explaining what it's here, I want to say that I managed how to do all of this so far. The point number 6 will help us to determine where the recover details are in the file, or if they actually exist because user can choose not to use them.
In order to unlock this ZIP and extract it's contents, I need to reverse what I've done. That means, that need to read only the last 500 bytes (or less if the file is smaller) of the ZIP and remove those extra bytes I added so the program can check
if the user is inputing a correct password, and if so decrypt contents and extract them.
But, if the user insert a wrong password I need to re-add those bytes with the recover details again to the ZIP file.
The second thing is, if the user forgets his password and asks to recover it, a form will be shown asking to insert the recover detail (date of birth, email etc), so we need to reed the last 500 bytes of the ZIP, find the bytes in number 6 and remove the
bytes before number 6, remove bytes in number 6 and number 7, and we will have the recover details to match against the user details input.
I have all done so far with the locking process. But i need help with the unlocking.
I am not sure if it's possible, but this what i am looking for:
Read last 500 bytes of a file, remove the bytes with recover details and save the file. Without reading the whole file, because if we have a 1GB file that will take a very long time. Also, i don't want to "waste" hard drive space creating a new
clone file with 1GB and then delete the original.
And then add them back "in case user fails the password" which should be exactly the same.
This sounds a bit confusing I know, even to me, I am writing and trying to explain this the better I can.. Also my English is not the best..
Here it goes some code to better understanding:
'READ LAST 500 BYTES OF ZIP FILE TO CHECK IF IT CONTAINS RECOVER DETAILS
Dim oFileStream As New FileStream(TextBox_ZIP_to_Protect.Text & ".zip", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim oBinaryReader As New BinaryReader(oFileStream)
Dim lBytes As Long = oFileStream.Length
oBinaryReader.BaseStream.Position = lBytes - 500
Dim fileData As Byte() = oBinaryReader.ReadBytes(500)
oBinaryReader.Close()
oFileStream.Close()
Dim txtTemp As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
For Each myByte As Byte In fileData
txtTemp.Append(myByte.ToString("X2"))
Next
Dim RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder = txtTemp.ToString()
'Dim Temp_2 = txtTemp.ToString()
'RichTextBox1.Text = txtTemp.ToString()
If txtTemp.ToString.Contains("505245434F47414653") Then
'we have password recovery details(the numbers mean RecoverDetails in HEX)
'next we will get rid of everything before and after of string "cut_at"
Dim mystr As String = RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder 'RichTextBox1.Text
Dim cut_at As String = "505245434F47414653"
Dim x As Integer = InStr(mystr, cut_at)
' Dim string_before As String = mystr.Substring(0, x - 1)
Dim string_after As String = mystr.Substring(x + cut_at.Length - 1)
RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder = RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder.Replace(string_after.ToString, "")
RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder = RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder.Replace("505245434F47414653", "") ' this is RecoverDetails in HEX
RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder = RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder.Replace("504B0506000000000000000000000000000000000000", "") ' this is the bytes of an empty zip file
'AT THIS POINT WE HAVE ONLY THE RECOVER PASSWORD DETAILS (date of birth, email etc) IN THE VARIABLE "RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder"
'////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TO DEBUG
'MsgBox(string_after.ToString & "505245434F47414653")
'InputBox("", "", string_after.ToString)
'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ TO DEBUG
'Temp_2 = Temp_2.Replace(RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder.ToString, "")
Now that we have the recover details, we need to remove them from ZIP in order to the software try to unzip it with the password provided by the user on the GUI.
If the user needs to recover the password we have the details already in RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder variable and just need to match them against user input details.
If the user fails, we need to put the RecoveryDetailsPass_Holder back on the file.
Any question just ask, it's a bit trick to explain i think, but please ask.
Anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks in advanced.
Nothing is impossible!

Vote if it's helpfull :)

@ ALL
Thank you very much for you help. I know that if I'm "playing" with bytes you should assume that I know a lot of VB.net, but I don't know that much unfortunately. I am not a beginner but I am still very fresh and I probably do stuff that work but
probably not in the best way...
Anyway, I will explain the idea of this little software I'm making. Once I wanted to create a program to protect folders with password, and I came up with something to change folder permissions to lock access to them, and that actually worked fine and quickly.
However, I managed how to "crack" the protection by going to folder properties, security tab and then give permissions back to my username. So that, to me, wasn't a safer system to protect folders, also I want the ability to use passwords. So I search
and search online for a way to do it, and someone replied (to someone with the same question as me) that the best option would be to create a zip with all contents of the folder, with password and then change the extension from .zip to .whatever and register
the new extension .whatever on the Windows Registry, so that file will have an icon and open with my software.
So I did...The program zips everything, change the extension and I added the encryption to avoid people changing the extension to ZIP or trying to open with 7-Zip or similar and be able to see the protected files names in the .zip/.whatever
Answering to all of you now:
@Armi
"System.IO.FileStream.SetLength"
I know I tried that but I erased the code because it didn't work for some reason, I don't remember why sorry, was long time before I created this post.
The last code I was trying to use was this:
' Set the stream position to the desired location of the stream.
Dim fileStream As IO.FileStream = _
New IO.FileStream(TextBox_ZIP_to_Protect.Text & ".zip", IO.FileMode.Append)
Try
' Set the stream (OFFSET) position to the desired location of the stream.
fileStream.Seek(210, IO.SeekOrigin.Current)
Dim Bytes_do_ZE As Byte() = HexStringToByteArray(Temp_2.ToString)
'Write Characters ASCII
For Each Byte_Do_Zeca As Byte In Bytes_do_ZE
fileStream.WriteByte(Byte_Do_Zeca)
Next
Finally
fileStream.Close()
End Try
and we need this:
Private Shared Function HexStringToByteArray(ByRef strInput As String) As Byte()
Dim length As Integer
Dim bOutput As Byte()
Dim c(1) As Integer
length = strInput.Length / 2
ReDim bOutput(length - 1)
For i As Integer = 0 To (length - 1)
For j As Integer = 0 To 1
c(j) = Asc(strInput.Chars(i * 2 + j))
If ((c(j) >= Asc("0")) And (c(j) <= Asc("9"))) Then
c(j) = c(j) - Asc("0")
ElseIf ((c(j) >= Asc("A")) And (c(j) <= Asc("F"))) Then
c(j) = c(j) - Asc("A") + &HA
ElseIf ((c(j) >= Asc("a")) And (c(j) <= Asc("f"))) Then
c(j) = c(j) - Asc("a") + &HA
End If
Next j
bOutput(i) = (c(0) * &H10 + c(1))
Next i
Return (bOutput)
End Function
That code, as I understand, is to search for the OFFSET of the bytes in the file and start to write from there... That OFFSET should be the beginning of the 500 bytes read on the code before. I got the OFFSET position "210" reading the file with
the HEX editor "HxD - Hexeditor v1.7.7.0" but using the OFFSET won't work because every file, password, recover details and so on, are different and so the file size, changing the OFFSET I
think.
@Reed Kimble
Does that sound like something which might work for you?
Thanks for your help. That might be some solution, however it seams a bit of the same problem where we need to read the bytes again to get the recover details. But, as I said in this post, because this is meant to password protect folders, do you think that
will apply as well?
@Crazypennie
Thanks for your reply.
All this appears really weak. The user has your application since he need it to open the file .... and the code in the application contain the code to read the file without knowing the password. Therefore anyone can read your code and retrieve the
data without the password ... if he knows VB.
The application can only open the file if the user didn't use a password to protect the file. Because the file is encrypted and needs to be unencrypted first.
When the application tries to open/read the file, will need to decrypt it first and then check for a password and do the validation. Also the application is with the code masked/protected which i think it might not be easy for reverse engineering.
- You need to use a web server and a symmetric key encryption
This a good idea, besides I don't know how to implement it. However the idea is to be able to:
1 - Protect a folder anywhere in any Windows computer (portable app)
2 - Recover password details (security question) in any computer, online and offline
And I think we need a computer always connected to the Internet to use that method, right?
@ Mr. Monkeyboy
Thank you very much for your effort.
I just wanted to let you know that the zip method you are using is no longer supported.
I didn't actually knew that. Thanks for letting me know.
Do you require the compressed encrypted files to actually be Zip files or could they just be compressed files that have nothing to do with Zip?
No, it doesn't need to be a .zip extension. I am actually using my own extension. It starts as a Zip but then I changed to my own extension which I have registered on the Windows Registry.
@ ALL
Thanks again to all for trying and spending time helping me.
By the way, I might not be able to answer or try any code during the weekend... It's easter break and family is around. Have a nice easter everyone. :)
Nothing is impossible! Imagination is the limit!

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.
Regards,
Durgesh.
