How to import a CSV file into Appleworks

Does anybody knows? I tried using ASCII format (everything goes into one cell), Excel (not recognized). Very fustrated, I can do that in 2 seconds with Excel or Open Office.
Any help will be really appreciated, must be something really sily

Roger, you are right. But instead of using a word processort I fixed the file with Perl (much faster in my case):
auyan:~/Desktop josevnz$ perl -p -i -e 's#,#\t#g; s#\n#\rn#;' 401k-funds-appleworks.csv
I have to say than Appleworks ***** big time .
Thanks for your help, very valuable tip!

  • How to import an .csv file into the database?

    and can we code the program in JSP to import the.csv file into the database.

    It is better to use Java class to read the CSV file and store the contents in the database.
    You can use JSP to upload the CSV file to the server if you want, but don't use it to perform database operations.
    JSPs are good for displaying information on the front-end, and for displaying HTML forms, there are other technologies more suitable for the middle layer, back end and the database layer.
    So break you application into
    1) Front end - JSPs to display input html forms and to display data retrieved from the database.
    2) Middle layer - Servlets and JavaBeans to interact with JSPs. The code that reads the CSV file to parse it's contents should be a Java Class in the middle layer. It makes use of Java File I/O
    3) Database layer - Connects to the database using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and then writes to the database with SQL insert statements.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Keeping the above concepts in mind, first build a simple JSP and get it to work,
    then research on Google , for Java File I/O , discover how to read a file,
    Then search on how to readh a CSV file using Java.
    After researching you should be able to read the CSV file line by line and store each line inside a Collection.
    Then research on Google, on how to write to the database using JDBC
    Write a simple program that inserts something to a dummy table in the database.
    Then, read the data stored in the Collection, and write insert statements for each records in the collection.

  • How to import from CSV file into INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND column?

    Hello,
    I need to import data from a csv file that has a column that stores time-intervals (e.g. 2:06:02 Hours:Minutes:Seconds) into a table column INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.
    Does any of you know what format I should apply?
    I tried HH:MI:SS but it didn't work.
    Any suggestion is welcomed (including changing the column type to something else that might hold time-intervals in it....).
    Thanks,
    Andrei

    Andrei,
    There is no native support for the INTERVAL datatype in the Text loading facilities of Application Express.
    To work around this known limitation, I suggest either creating a temporary table or a shadow column in your existing table. You could then upload your data for the interval as a VARCHAR2 and then use SQL to convert to an appropriate interval value.
    For example:
    1) Create a table with:
    create table foo (id number primary key, i interval day to second, shadowi varchar2(4000) )2) Using your sample data set, load this data into table FOO, loading the second column of this data into column SHADOWI
    1     01:06:02
    2     02:06:02
    3     03:01:013) Issue the following SQL to convert the value in your shadow interval column to your actual interval column
    update foo set i = to_dsinterval( '0 ' || shadowi )Note that you'll need to prepend the '0' to formulate a valid interval literal value.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    MyTienN wrote:
    Someone had mentioned the possibility of saving each individual layer in Photoshop as a png file and importing into Indesign and adjusting it in there
    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • Importing a csv file into addressbook

    So I did a search & found this question has come up quite often, but with the person having a slightly different problem, so here goes.
    I am trying to import a csv file into address book, when I go import -> text tile it comes up like it should do and I pick the file, if I select ok at this point, it will quite happily import all of the data no trouble (but in the wrong categories). So I make the changes to what I want ie. Phone other --> Phone (work). Then when I click ok, the button goes from blue to white but nothing happens.
    When I open the csv file in textedit I can see all the values separated by commas.
    Any Ideas?

    I too just had this problem. To clarify all fields work and you can map them. I found that the Outlook CSV file had two problems which were tripping up the AddressBook import function. Note these were both in street address fields so I suspect the poster who said that addresses don't work may have been having that problem.
    The CSV load program does not work if you have commas "," in your data. In my case this was very common for some European addresses as well as some company names. And then the second problem was if there was a carriage return or new line character in a field. This later one was a problem with the address fields. I suspect an AddressBook export to CSV might have this same issue. Specifically, when there were multiple lines to the street address, they had been entered as multiple lines in street address one, as opposed to entering them in multiple fields such as "street 1", "street 2", etc.
    To solve the problem I opened the CSV file using Numbers and did a global find and replace on: commas, substituting the string --- and on the newline character "¶" (ALT+Rreturn) with *.
    Note to reduce some of the remapping I also changed all of the labels with "business" in the header row of the CSV file to "work". This made it a little easier for the AddressBook import function to map fields more correctly.
    After these set of changes rather than the alternating blue then white with nothing behavior it cleanly loaded all of my names. I could then search for "---" and "*" in addressbook's search field to identify all addresses which I had to clean up.
    I hope that is helpful to someone else. The import function really does work. However, it is not robust enough to deal with certain oddities in one's data.

  • Is there a way to import a .csv file into Numbers?

    Can I import a .csv file into Numbers?

    Yes, you can import csv (character-separated-values) into Numbers.
    If the csv file is comma-separated, then in Numbers you can try File > Open and navigate to the file and open it.
    If you don't get the results you want, then try this CSV to Tabs on Clipboard Automator Service (Dropbox download) instead.
    To install, double-click the .workflow package and, if necessary, click 'Open Anyway' in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    Thereafter to use:
    In Finder (not Numbers) navigate to the .csv file.
    Right-click on the file and choose 'CSV to Tabs on Clipboard' under Services in the contextual menu.
    Follow the prompts (trying different separators if needed).
    Click once in a Numbers cell.
    Command-v to paste.  The Numbers table will expand automatically as needed.
    These steps are quicker and easier than they sound. Just a few clicks and a keyboard entry.

When I try to import them into contacts, contacts attempts to combine the entire email list as seperate fields of a single contact. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to import just the list of email addresses so that each email address is a seperate contact. The list does not have names or addresses, just emails. Please help.

  • How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

    I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
    create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
    Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
    The requirement here is
    1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
    2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
    eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
    1 x y
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
    It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
    To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):
    declare
        lt_report_clob CLOB;
        l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
        l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
        l_buffer varchar2(1024);
        l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
        l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
    begin
       -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
        l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
        -- initialise the empty clob
        dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
        loop
          begin
             utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
             dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
          exception
             when no_data_found then
                 exit;
          end;
        end loop;
        insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
        values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
        -- free the temporary lob
        dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
       -- close the file
       UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
    end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
    There is at least one other possibility:
    - you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
    That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.
    HTH

  • How to import a csv file without "+" being added to numbers?

    I'm trying to import a csv file from my bank. Numbers automatically adds a "+" and "-" sign before all numbers. Numbers won't add the numbers with a + sign. How can I easily remove the + sign? It seems the delimiter in the csv file may be ", rather than , Thanks.

    Wayne,
    I don't believe that the plus sign came from Numbers. Except for a purposful application of a Custom Format, Numbers isn't going to add the plue sign. The minus sign is another issue. It's a perfectly acceptable part of the value and shouldn't cause a problem.
    If the plus sign came from the CSV file, which you seem to imply isn't the case, you would have to strip it out before submitting to Numbers.

  • Import a CSV file into specific cells

    Hello,
    I have created a simple Numbers template and I want to import a csv file with its values entering specific cells in an automated way.
    I think the best way to automate this process would be an AppleScript that does the following:
    Selects the csv file;
    Parses the values inserting them into the the Numbers template i.e. value1 to cell B2, value2 to cell B3 etc.
    Unfortunately I know very little about AppleScript, does anyone have any experience in this area that they could pass on?
    My idea would be to place the csv values in an array, and loop through the array entering the values in B2, B3 etc.
    Many thanks in advance!
