How to read the 'date modified' of a file?

I need to read the date that a file was modified so I can see
if it has been updated. The file is just a text file in the same
directory as my swf file.
I tried using FLfile.getModificationDate, but it doesn't seem
to work. Every way I write the code, I get no response. It does not
seem to find the file. I even tried using the FLfile.write as a
test, without luck. I searched and the FLfile.dll is on my machine,
but I wonder if I have to somehow let the flash file know its
there.
I also tried using FileReference.modificationDate, but from
what I have come to understand, I need to populate the
FileReference object and that populating the FileReference object
involves uploading or downloading the file. I'm not up or
downloading the file, I just need to know if it has been updated by
other software. Otherwise, how do I populate the FileReference
object. Can it check on dates without up or downloading?
Does anyone have an idea of the best way to read the date
that the file was modified?
Thank you.

quite right, you need to create a Project (and a JavaScript
file)
then you can use the JavaScript that you want to use

How to read the data from an excel file into MYSQL by java language

Hi all,
I have some data in excel spread sheet and I want to put the data into MYSQL data base. I created the tables in MYSQL> How can I write a program in JAVA that puts the value from excel sheet to mysql??
I would appreciate your help
regards

By typing code at the keyboard... but presumably you meant to ask what code you should type.
To get data out of Excel there are a few alternatives. The Google keywords I would use to find them are "java excel". I use Apache POI but there are other possibilities, I believe. As for getting the data into MySQL once you have extracted it from Excel, you would use JDBC. But you already knew that, didn't you? You did find the JDBC forum.
In general it's better to ask a specific question on a forum. If you don't have a clue (which is the way we all start out) then just telling people that isn't going to be helpful. The best you're going to get is links to tutorials, which you could perfectly well have found for yourself by simple web searches.

How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
"Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
Thanks as kudos only

How to read the data in excel sheet

Dear sir,
How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that
Cell A Cell B
A Apple
B Ball
C Cat
D Doll
when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on..

Hi,
I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached.
Trust this would help you solve the issue.

How to read the data in spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) and put it in Excel using Labview

Hi all, I'm new to using the labview, and I have some trouble doing my project using the labview software.
I have been trying to use the spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) which connect to computer using the GPIB connection.
I have got the instrument driver which can write and control the instrument using Labview 2010.
and my Question is how do read the data or result from the spectrum analyzer and send it to the microsoft excel?
Do I need to use other software or programming to do this step?
If anyone know how is this done, please let me know.
Regards,
Ery

Hi ery,
In order to send data that you have read in from an instrument to Excel, the most convenient way to do this would be to use our Report Generation Toolkit. The Report Generation Toolkit is a very useful tool that allows you to interface to Microsoft Office software from LabVIEW, including Word and Excel. I am not sure if you are familiar with this, but I have attached a link that explains more about the Report Generation Toolkit below.
Another way would be to use the Write To Spreadsheet File VI. While this will store your data to a spreadsheet data file, it will not allow you to programmatically perform any Excel formatting like the Report Generation Toolkit offers. I have also attached a link to some information on the Write To Spreadsheet VI below.
Also, be sure to check out the Example Finder in LabVIEW for a number of examples on how to write data to a spreadsheet file. From LabVIEW, you can go to Help»Find Examples to launch the Example Finder. From there, you can search for "spreadsheet," which should populate examples for use in different applications. I hope this helps, ery. Please let me know if you have any further questions about these!

How to read the content of a text file (by character)?

Guys,
Good day!
I'm back just need again your help. Is there anyone knows how to read the content of a text file not by line but by character.
Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.
Jojo

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html
package java.io
InputStream.read(): int
Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
Implementation:
InputStreamReader
An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file

how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
thanks

Hey Kevin!
Using FORMS.TEXT_IO to bulk load data from a file strikes me as re-inventing the wheel. It is just about justifiable in a self-service environment, but I regard the EXTERNAL TABLE is a better solution for that situation as well.
The same applies to UTL_FILE. I think the ability to read text with UTL_FILE is primarily intended for read file-based configuration or file manipulation/processing rather than data loading.
Re-writing a text file into SQL statements is too much like hard work (even with an editor that supports macro definition and regular expressions) for no real benefit. You lose all the bulk load peformance you would get from SQL*Loader. But for QAD I'd probably let you off with it.
You missed out one obvious alternative: using Java to turn the contents of an XML file into a CLOB and inserting it into a table which is read by a PL/SQL procedure that parses the XML records and insert the retrieved data into a table.
Stay lucky, APC

How to read the data file and write into the same file without a temp table

Hi,
I have a requirement as below:
We are running lockbox process for several business, but for a few businesses we have requirement where in we receive a flat file in different format other than how the transmission format is defined.
This is a 10.7 to 11.10 migration. In 10.7 the users are using a custom table into which they are first loading the raw data and writing a pl/sql validation on that and loading it into a new flat file and then running the lockbox process.
But in 11.10 we want to restrict using temp table how can we achieve this.
Can we read the file first and then do validations accordingly and then write to the same file and process the lockbox.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

Hello Gurus,
Let me tell you about my requirement clearly with an example.
Problem:
i am receiving a dat file from bank in below format
105A371273020563007 07030415509174REF3178503 001367423860020015E129045
in this detail 1 record starting from 38th character to next 15 characters is merchant reference number
REF3178503 --- REF denotes it as Sales Order
ACC denotes it as Customer No
INV denotes it as Transaction Number
based on this 15 characters......my validation comes.
If i see REF i need to pick that complete record and then fill that record with the SO details as per my system and then submit the file for lockbox processing.
In 10.7 they created a temporary table into which they are loading the data using a control file....once the data is loaded into the temporary table then they are doing a validation and updating the record exactly as required and then creating one another file and then submitting the file for lockbox processing.
Where as in 11.10 they want to bypass these temporary tables and writing it into a different file.
Can this be handled by writing a pl/sql procedure ??
My findings:
May be i am wrong.......but i think .......if we first get the data into ar_payments_interface_all table and then do the validations and then complete the lockbox process may help.
Any suggestions from Oracle GURUS is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

How to read the data from an internal table,when column names are known

Hi All
I have a specific requirement. I got an internal table with many fields (let it be my_tab). Some of the fieldnames (column names in internal table my_tab) are stored in separate internal table(let it be my_fields).

How to read the data from a column that is in clob data type (but XMLdata)

Hi ,
I have a table XYZ which has a column RESPONSE_XML in clob datatype format.we can convert it to XMLTYPE(RESPONSE_XML) to read the data in XML format.
Now this is the DynamicXML schema file. Here I want to see all the COMMONNAME, ResourceDescribedby_VALUE into column_A, ResourceDescribedby_ResourceSpecCharacteristic_Name tags into column_B
How can I do that .. any suggestions please ..

you don't appear to have posted valid XML, so I can't reproduce using your example, but you will need to look at something like this:
select xtab.common_name
from your_table yt
      ,xmltable('/SearchResourceResponse'
          passing xmltype(yt.response_xml)
          columns
              common_name varchar2(20) path 'SearchResponseDetails/CommonName'
      ) xtab
;
