How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp
Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files.
Thanks

Hi Milan,
Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file that was not created using the Mathscript window.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.
Regards,
Ankita

How to parse data from a text file with no convenient delimiters?

I need to read data from a text file. This file contains one line of data with the repeating pattern "time 00 ADVar2: ___ Height: ____ time 01 ADVar2: ___ Height: ___ ..." I need LabView to parse out the "time" and "height" values, build an array with the values, and graph the correlation on an X&Y plot. Does Labview have an automated way to read to the input data file and parse out the correct values, even without convenient delimiters? Thank you.

You actually do have a convenient delimiter: "time". Thus, you can make an array using that as the delimiter. Only caveat is that the first array element will be empty. Then you can conveniently use the Scan From String function in a for-loop. Something like this:

How to import data from corel draw file

Dear Fellows
i have a problem which is very interesting. i have a data like
(rollno, name, course, duration and a photo of the candidate) in corel
file. the problem is how to import selected data from the corel file
into the oracle or any other database. Kindly guide me how to do this.
Regards

This can be automated... Most Windows applications support (or did support) DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange). In its basic form, you can send DDE commands to an application. E.g. load file using this filename, use the selection option on the menu, save the selection as a text file, etc.
In other words, you can interact with an application using DDE only - no keyboard or mouse input required.
DDE itself is fairly straightforward and not that difficult to code - the complexity is in the DDE payloads that need to be send to the application to make it behave the way you want it to. In the "old" days, this was documented in some fashion by applications. I cannot recall seeing any specific DDE commands and specs for common Window applications for many years now. Also, DDE was made part of the then new OLE2 spec and have since taken a backseat.
Not even sure if apps today still properly support it...
So instead of putting Corel data into Oracle, I would rather look at it the other way. After all, Oracle is the server - not Corel. Have a web front-end (written in APEX) that allows you to specify the participant's details and store this in Oracle.
Create an export filter in Oracle that dumps this into a XML (or similar) format understood by Corel. Having Corel open this file, convert it, and print it. Then look at how to automated these steps in Corel (using VB for Apps or something).

Importing data from a text file with MathScript

Hi,
I currently have a bit of Matlab code that imports a load of data from a tab-delimited text file. The text file is in the same directory as the .m file and my .vi file. The relevant line of import code from Matlab is:
data=dlmread('data.txt','\t',5,0);
When I run this in Labview after importing the code into a Mathscript block and connecting two relevant outputs to a "Build XY Graph" block such that the variables can be plotted, I get a message saying:
"Error -90001 occured at Error in function dlmread at line 10. Labview: File not found..."
How can I get LabVIEW to read the file? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to LabVIEW, having come from Matlab!
Thanks for the help

Hi,
Looks like that you are using relative path. Then, the file must be located in MathScript search path. Otherwise, MathScript can not find that file. You can either specify the absolute path or add the path to MathScript search path list.
I have tried in LabVIEW 8.6. dlmread should work well to read data from .txt file.

I am with Chris on this one.
If those headers are repeating in your text file, you could run a simple script to cleanse the data first and make the file fit for SQL*Loader.
Here's an example with Perl, I hope the header of Page 2 and onwards resembles what you have in your file. I've snipped some data from the far right so that it fits on my terminal screen:
$
$ # show the contents of the data file
$
$ cat report.dat

$ You could do an inline substitution with Perl, or redirect it to a temp file and then move back to the original file. In either case, you have just the relevant data for the next step.
Again, Perl is just one option. On Unix/Linux systems, you have a large number of utilities/scripting languages that can perform almost any kind of data transformation.

Importing data from a text file

I have a text file with two columns, one with dates (i.e. 2011-01-01) and the other with numbers that I'd like to show up on the calendar for that date (there's an entry for every day of the year). Is there a way to read in the text file and tell iCal to print the number associated with each date on the calendar? For example, if I've got the monthly view up, I'd like the number associated with each date in the table to be displayed beneath the date.

It's a text file, so you'll want to read the file with a Reader. Each record is a line, so you can read the data with the readLine method. The fields are fixed-length, so you can use String.substring to read the data from each of the fields.

How to read data from a text file

I have saved a text file on my hard drive, and would like to read the file. Once read I would like to copy it to another file. I think I am suppose to use the BufferedReader, and FileReader classes. I am not sure what sequence to follow in order to do this. Could some one give me some feed back on what is needed, and in what sequence to perform this task?

Where do I store my file within my Platform(Eclipe), in order to read or access the file. Whenever I use the declaration below. I get an FileNotFoundException. I understand the code, but am not sure where to store the file, so that the line of code below will recognize it..
FileReader in = new FileReader("data1.txt");
BufferedReader a = new BufferedReader(in);

Loading Data From a Text File Through an Application into Oracle

Hi There,
I have a web application that allows the user to upload a text file. This file is then processed by my application. Each line in the file is a new row I need to insert into my table.
Currently, I batch 200 updates together and insert them into the DB.
For about 3 million records this is taking much longer than I would like it to.
Any suggestions for optimization?
thanks.

I put here a simplest demo (file has whitespace)
I think it may help to start.
--Structure of your file test1.dat (put in your directory)
a1 b1
a2 b2
a3 b3
a4 b4
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY
test_dir AS
'C:\oraclexe\DIR' --or anywhere
--GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY test_dir TO your_user
--external table:
DROP TABLE test_ext
CREATE     TABLE test_ext
   (col1      CHAR(5),
    col2      CHAR(5)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
   (TYPE oracle_loader
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY test_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
      (RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
       FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE)
       LOCATION ('test1.dat')
SELECT * FROM test_ext
COL1 COL2
a1    b1
a2    b2
a3    b3
a4    b4
Insert into another_table(another_col1, another_col2) (select col1, col2 from test_ext) if needed

How to import date from pl/sql

I m using 9i database and form 6i windows 2003
I created a form and using this code to get the backup, resulting I get a .DMP file.
I want to import data from this DMP file through pl/slq .. how can I ?
I want that only data should be import from dmp file.
my export code :-+_
Declare
user_name varchar2(50) := Get_Application_Property(username);
pass varchar2(50) := Get_Application_Property(password);
Cstring varchar2(50) := Get_Application_Property(connect_string);
str varchar2(100);
Begin
str :='Exp userID='||user_name||'/'||pass||'@'||Cstring||' rows=y file='||:Path;
:EXP_BLK.PS:=PASS;
:EXP_BLK.UR:=USER_NAME;
:EXP_BLK.ST:=CSTRING;
     :Status := 'Backup Start.....Please Wait.......';
     Synchronize;
     Host(Str);
Bell;
bell;
     :Status := 'Backup Sucessfully Completed....';
     Synchronize;
End;

First of all this is not Forms forum, this is PL/SQL forum.
Next, your question and the content inside your post confused me. We are not getting one thing - where do you want to import date data type?
please explain.
Regards.

How do you read data from a text file into a JTextArea?

I'm working on a blogging program and I need to add data from a text file named messages.txt into a JTextArea named messages. How do I go about doing this?

Student_Coder wrote:
1) Read the file messages.txt into a String
2) Initialize messages with the String as the textSwing text components are designed to use Unix-style linefeeds (\n) as line separators. If the text file happens to use a different style, like DOS's carriage-return+linefeed (\r\n), it needs to be converted. The read() method does that, and it saves the info about the line separator style in the Document so the write() method can re-convert it.

Neither of those methods applies to JTextAreas.

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;
    $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
    @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
    while (<IN>) {
        chomp;
        $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
        ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
        ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;
        ($dd[4] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of XDATA\\s/o;
        ($dd[5] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of FARCODE\\s/o;
