How to read data chanels from a file?

Hi,
I have some .CSV files, that have inside tree chanels( load force; opening force;travel distance) captured from two motors.
I want to load more CSV files and analyze only two chanels ( opening force and travel distance) and send them to a report (travel distance to X-axis, and Opening force to Y-axis), but in the report to be all the chanels from all the CSV files that I loaded. ( to do a multi-load)
My question is how can I read from the csv files the chanels that I am interested and then analyze them?
I use this exemple from HELP to load the data:
Dim MyFileNames, iCount
Call FileNameGet("ANY", "FileRead","D:\BOF-MIU\BOF Archive\", "CSV data (*.CSV),*.csv", "All.lst", True, "Data selection"
MyFileNames = Split(FileDlgFileName,"|"
For iCount = 0 To Ubound(MyFileNames)
Call DataFileLoad(MyFileNames(iCount))
Next
' and then I try to analyze, but I don't know how to split the csv file to get only the chanels that I want
Call ChnSmooth(filedlgfile &"[1]/Axis 1: Position (uu)","/Smoothed",12,"maxNumber" '... Y,E,SmoothWidth,SmoothType
Thank you for your time.
Solved!

Hi Marse,
I'm very pleased that the "CSV" DataPlugin that ships with DIAdem enabled you to load your data files, that's one step down. I think I understand what you mean by "I don't know how to split the csv file to get only the chanels that I want". I think you want to load only the last 2 channels from each selected CSV file. Here's how to do that-- first select the CSV files you want to load in the NAVIGATOR, then run the following VBScript
FilePaths = GetNaviSelFiles()IF NOT UBound(FilePaths) > 0 THEN Call AutoQuit("No CSV files selected in the NAVIGATOR")Call DataDelAllFOR j = 1 TO UBound(FilePaths) FileName = NameSplit(FilePaths(j), "N")Call GroupCreate(FileName) Call GroupDefaultSet(GroupCount)Call DataFileLoadSel(FilePaths(j), "CSV", "[1]/[3-4]") ChnName(CNoXGet(GroupCount, 1)) = "Opening Force"ChnName(CNoXGet(GroupCount, 2)) = "Travel Distance"NEXT ' j Function GetNaviSelFiles() Dim i, j, iMax, Elements, FilePaths Set Elements = Navigator.Display.CurrDataProvider.Browser.SelectedElementsj = 0iMax = Elements.CountReDim FilePaths(iMax) FOR i = 1 TO iMax IF Elements(i).IsKindOf(eComputerFile) OR Elements(i).IsKindOf(eSearchFile) THENPath = Elements(i).Properties("FullPath").ValueIF UCase(NameSplit(Path, "E")) = "CSV" THENj = j + 1FilePaths(j) = Path
END IF ' CSV fileEND IF ' Selected NAVIGATOR FileNEXT ' Selected NAVIGATOR Element ReDim Preserve FilePaths(j) GetNaviSelFiles = FilePathsEnd Function ' GetNaviSelFiles()

How to read a byte[] from a file

Hi can someone help me to read a byte[] from a file. I need to save a byte[] to a file and then retrieve it later can someone help in this..
Thanx

there are actually docs on the classes ByteArrayInputStream and ByteArrayOutputStream here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
go there (copy & paste in browser) and text search for the above classes.
Then read into it. That way, you will come to a better comprehension of the entire thing. You may as well want to read this:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
And for the future: if you have general problems, search API docs and tutorials first and solve them yourself. The guys around here can get pretty annoyed about "Teach me the entire Java Thing" (also called "someone do my homework") requests.
If you have a special problem, ie an Exception you don?t understand or a method wich you don?t know how it works, everybody will like to help you.

How to read DES key from a file?

I stored the DES key in the file as follows:
KeyGenerator keygen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES");
SecretKey Key = keygen.generateKey();
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream("t.tmp");
     ObjectOutputStream p = new ObjectOutputStream(ostream);
     p.writeObject(Key) ;
     p.flush();
     ostream.close();
I don't know if there is problem with the above code, I am just new to java cryptography.
I have problem read in the key and store it in the DES key object to be used for decryption.
Can someone please tell me how to do it and a simple example will be appriciated.
thanks
Jeff

Thank you for your help. after getting the key from the file( the output of the key is com.sun.crypto.provider.DESKey@fffe786d, not sure if it is right), I use this key to decrypt the message sent from the client program.
here is the code:
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(data.getInputStream());
String c = ois.readLine() ;//should I convert the byte[] data to String?
ois.close() ;
jTextField1.setText(c) ;//display the cipher text to the first textfield
byte[] ciphertext = c.getBytes() ;
// System.out.write(ciphertext) ;
// get key from file
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("t.tmp");
ObjectInputStream oin = new ObjectInputStream(in);
SecretKey Key = (SecretKey)oin.readObject();
oin.close();
in.close();
System.out.println(Key) ;
//decrypt
Cipher C = Cipher.getInstance("DES");
C.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, Key);
// Decrypt the ciphertext
byte[] cleartext1 =C.doFinal(ciphertext);
System.out.write(cleartext1) ;//doesn't show anything!!
System.out.println("this is cleartexxt");//doesn't even show this!!
String display = new String(cleartext1);
jTextField2.setText(display);
why there is no output from System.out.write(cleartext1)? where did I go wrong?
thank you.

How to read a line from a file which contains 45000 characters?

Hi all,
     Iam a receiving a .CSV file which contains n number of rows ,each row has a data seperated with delimiter.
These values based on delimiter it is seperated and certain validations are handled.
Iam using UTL_FILE.GET_LINE operator to read the value and store it in a variable which is declared as l_text VARCHAR2(30000).
when we receive a line which contains huge characters say 45000 then it throws an error(Unable to read the file).
Only on rare cases we used to receive these kind of files with huge size.
Kindly help to solve this issues.

Hi Siva,
Are you trying to use data from this .csv file into your realtion tables. If yes and If you are using 11g Oracle database. I would suggest you create External Tables using the below query,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-mar/o21nanda-312277.html
STEP1: You need a Directory where your SCHEMA has read/write access. Store the csv file in that directory.
STEP2: Create an EXTERNAL Table script. Please refer the above URL. Examples are for coma delimiter (,); replace it with your pipe (|) in the code
STEP: Once your external table is created you can simply create a relational table as below:
CREATE TABLE relation_table
AS
SELECT * FROM external_table;

Problem With Crystal Reports Reading Date Fields From CSV File

I have a date field in a CSV file in the format 06/28/09 17:23:55.523. When I use ODBC the configuartion picks it up a character field. I overright the recommendation type by specifing it is a date field but whne I bring the data into crystal reports the dates are blanks. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. I need to use the date for selection records.

How to read a string from file & assign the val to a variable in batch file

Hi,
How to read a string from a file and assign the value to a variable then return the value to the screen in windows batch file?
Any suggestions?
thanks.

Unless this is a homework question then I don't see the purpose of doing this, but....
You should be looking a the supplied package utl_file to get the string out of the file, dbms_output to display the string and then google windows batch/command files calling sqlplus to execute your program.

Reading long text from excel file to an internal table

Hi
Can any body tell me how to read long text from excel file to an internal table.
When i am using this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT then it is reading only 32 characters from each cell.
But in my excel sheet in one of the cell has very long text which i need to upload into a internal table.
may i know which FM or what logic i need to use for this problem.
Regards

Hi,
Here is an example program. It will upload an Excel file with two columns. You could also assign the Excel structure dynamically, but I wanted to keep the example simple. The main point is that the internal table (it_excel in this example) must match the Excel structure that you want to convert.
Remember, this is just an example to help you figure out how to properly use the technique. It will certainly need to be modified to fit your requirements, and as always there may be a better way to get the Excel converted... this is just one possibility that has worked for me in the past.

How to read data from a zipped MS Access file?

RPJ,
You do not need to use the Close Zip File.vi when you unzip a folder. This VI is used when you are creating a zip folder.
As for examples, I found a couple of ActiveX based MS Access examples. These programs look to be pretty basic. For more in depth example I would search Microsoft Developers Network

How to read data from a file

I have a file that looks like this with out the *'s
lastName firstName number
lastName firstName number2
lastName firstName number3
lastname = (string) an actual last name like smith same for first name
number = an actual number (int) like 90 or 120
I need to read the number from this file and store it in an array. I have some code that I started, but im not sure what to do next. Please help!
//int searchId;
     int fileData;
     vector <int> employeeIds;
     //cout<<"Enter Employee ID: ";
     //cin>>searchId;
     ifstream dataFile("Small-Database.txt");
     dataFile >> fileData;
     while(!dataFile.eof())
           //this is where i need help, how can i read in a number. i tried using the getLine() function but it did not help
          //employeeIds.push_back(fileData);
          //dataFile >> fileData;
     dataFile.close();Thank you for any help in advance

The >> operator reads a value corresponding to the target type. For example, to read an integer value, read it into an int variable (or long or long long, depending on the integer range).
The >> operator skips white space (blanks, tabs, newlines) and then reads characters corresponding to the target type: digits for an integer value, for example. It stops at the first character that cannot be in the representation of the type. If no characters are read, the stream goes into an error state, and further I/O requests are ignored until you clear the stream state.
You can read each group of data like this:
std::string first, last;
int number;
dataFile >> first >> last >> number;If the data doesn't have the right characteristics, the stream will go into an error state, which you can detect by testing the stream directly:
if( dataFile ) ...Using EOF as the loop control is not a good idea, since if there is an error, the loop will never terminate. You can do something like this:
while( dataFile ) {
    std::string first, last;
    int number;
    dataFile >> first >> last >> number;
    if( dataFile ) {
        // ... add first, last, number to the data structure
} Reading past EOF puts the stream in an error state, so checking the stream state before saving the data and in the loop control will do the trick.
You can use a char array instead of a string for the names, but then you have to add extra testing to be sure you don't overflow the array, and deal with the extra characters you don't read. Strings will expand as needed. The string is declared as a local variable in the loop, so it gets re-initialized each time through; you don't need to write code to reset it.
My example loop is not robust in the face of errors. Stream I/O works fine when you know the input data is well-formed. It is not suited to input that can be wrong, such as data typed from the terminal, because it is not easy to validate the input and recover from errors.
