How to manage two OS Text files in UTL_FILE Package simultaneously?

Hi
I am using UTL_FILE Package in order to insert rows into my table from the OS text files.
It inserts the row in one of the column in the table successfully.
But when I change the code in following routine in order to insert two rows from the two OS text files, it fails and no row inserted in any column of the table.
Could someone assist what changes I will do in the following script in order to insert the rows in both the columns of the table from the two different OS Text files simultaneously?
The UTL_FILE_DIR parameter is set to * .
I am using Oracle 8.1.7.
Following is the procedure, which I am trying to insert the rows in two columns at a time:
Regards
Sharbat
Declare
l_file_handle1 UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_file_handle2 UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_buffer1 VARCHAR2(4000);
l_buffer2 VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
l_file_handle1 := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:\Test\Result', 'System_Name.txt', 'r', 4000);
l_file_handle2 := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:\Test\Result',
'Machine.txt', 'r', 4000);
loop
UTL_FILE.get_line(l_file_handle1,l_buffer1);
UTL_FILE.get_line(l_file_handle2,l_buffer2);
insert into test (Hostname,Machine) values(l_buffer1,l_buffer2);
commit;
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found then
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file_handle1);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file_handle2);
when others then
if utl_file.is_open(l_file_handle1)
then
utl_file.fclose(l_file_handle1);
end if;
if utl_file.is_open(l_file_handle2)
then
utl_file.fclose(l_file_handle2);
end if;
end;

How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

Hi, I need to read an entire text file--which actually contains an email message extracted from a content management system-- into a variable in a pl/sql package, so I can insert some information from the database and then send the email. I want to read the whole text file in one shot, not just one line at a time. Shoud I use Utl_File.Get_Raw or is there another more appropriate way to do this?

Hi,
How do you creat your text files? Depending on the programm, there is added characters in the beginning and at the and of the file. So here you will find a VI to creat "raw" text files.
To debug your VIs, use the probs and breakpoints, so you can solve the problem by your self or give an more accurate description of it.
There is also the VI that read a integer and two strings (%d %s %s)

How do I get a text file from Photoshop to work in the main sequence in pp?

How do I get a text file to work properly in the master sequence. I moved it from Photoshop, which I learned to do from a tutorial, but when I move the animated text sequence to the master, it either isnt running, or it is scaled way too big. How do I get it to run in the main sequence?

"Wont Work Here" ! Does not mean much.
Are you having an audio or a video issue?
Looks like no video clip on the video layer above that section of audio.
I am teaching myself this stuff completely on the fly
I suggest you do the Basic Tutorials ( Adobe TV for example) in both Premiere Pro and PhotoShop.
You need to be competent in the basics and fundamentals of these apps and that will also help you describe and discuss the issues. Check the 'Products on this site....

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

How do I open a text file to sort using bubble sort?

Hi,
I have a text file, which is a list of #'s.. ex)
0.001121
0.313313
0.001334
how do you open a text file and read a list? I have the bubble sort code which sorts.. thanks

I wrote this, but am getting a couple errors:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class sort
     public static void main(String[] args)
          String fileName = "numsRandom1024.txt";
          Scanner fromFile = null;
          int index = 0;
          double[] a = new double[1024];Don't use double. You should use something that implements Comparable, like java.lang.Double.
          try
               fromFile = new Scanner(new File(fileName));
          catch (FileNotFoundException e)
System.out.println("Error opening the file " +
" + fileName);
               System.exit(0);
          while (fromFile.hasNextLine())
               String line = fromFile.nextLine();
               a[index] = Double.parseDouble(line);Don't parse to a double, create a java.lang.Double instead.
               System.out.println(a[index]);
               index++;
          fromFile.close();
          bubbleSort( a, 0, a.length-1 );No. Don't use a.length-1: from index to a.length-1 all values will be null (if you use Double's). Call it like this:bubbleSort(a, 0, index);
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void
d bubbleSort( T[] a, int first, int last )
          for(int counter = 0 ; counter < 1024 ; counter++)
for(int counter2 = 1 ; counter2 < (1024-counter) ;
) ; counter2++)Don't let those counter loop to 1024. The max should be last .
                    if(a[counter2-1] > a[counter2])No. Use the compareTo(...) method:if(a[counter2-1].compareTo(a[counter2]) > 0) {
                         double temp = a[counter2];No, your array contains Comparable's of type T, use that type then:T temp = a[counter2];
// ...Good luck.

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module? I can not create a text file and read it.
I attach my code here.
Attachments:
File_IO.vi ‏82 KB

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

Downloading two different text files using gui_download

Hi Folks,
I have two internal tables.itab1 and itab2.Generally in most cases I have to download only the data in itab1 as a text file using Gui_download.In some cases if a particular condition is satisfied I need to download both itab1 and itab2 data as two different text files using gui_download.To achieve this I had called the gui_download twice as I have to pass two different internal tables.
But I am getting only itab1 textfile and not itab2 textfile.
In the selection screen I am giving the path as c:\..
Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.
K.Kiran.

Hi
You keep the both files in a ITAB and in the loop of that Itab use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the two files
data: begin of itab,
file like rlgrap-filename,
end of itab.
In initialization event
put the two files into this ITAB.
loop at itab
call function gui_download.
endloop.
check like this

Can't read text file using UTL_FILE

Hi All,
how can I read notepad file using UTL_FILE package.I have specified the UTL_FILE_DIR in the init.ora file.My objective is to when a button is clicked, the contents of the file will display in a text item.Here is my code written in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
DECLARE
     file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
data_line Varchar2(100);
BEGIN
     file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('E:\vimal','abc.txt','R');
          message('directory created');
     UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(file_handle, data_line);
     :block2.t1 := data_line;
     UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
END;

Why don't you use text_io? Don't forget that UTL_FILE is reading directories from the database point of view. The E drive for the database is a different E then on your client pc. I presume your database is on a different computer. Are you getting any errors?

To read text file using utl_file

I would like to read test_file_out.txt which is in c:\temp folder.
create or replace create or replace directory dir_temp as 'c:\temp';

END;

i would like to use ult_file only and also can you let me know to read the text file and place its contents in tmp_emp table?

Are you trying to read the contents of the file into the local variable? Or write the contents of the local variable to the file?
Your text talks about reading the file. And you open the file in read mode. But then you call the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE method which, as SomeoneElse points out, attempts to write data to the file. Since the file is open in read-only mode, you cannot write to the file.
If the goal is really to read from the file, replace the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE calls with UTL_FILE.GET_LINE. If the goal is really to write to the file, you'll need to open the file in write mode ('W' rather than 'R' in the FOPEN call).
