How to sort this text file ?

hi all
i have a text file that contains archlinux package information int he following formate:
File:alpine-2.00-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 3623 KB 09/05/2008 10:53:00 PM
File:alsa-lib-1.0.18-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 474 KB 11/08/2008 04:46:00 PM
File:alsa-oss-1.0.17-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 50 KB 09/28/2008 04:25:00 PM
File:alsa-utils-1.0.18-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 1047 KB 11/08/2008 04:46:00 PM
what is the easiest way to sort the order according to different criteria such as file size, creation time, name etc
i'm thinking of using a database software such as sqlite.
if this is the correct direction to go, can anyone show me some hints on how i should go about to accomplish this task ?
thanks in advance

after some digging
it seems awk can do the trick
i found some code snippets
i'll try it later
but i'm still curious about doing this using sqlite and the SQL language
like can i create a database from a formated text file? etc
so anyone has some comments on this, you are still welcome

How to convert a text file in lower case to upper case?

I've a beginner in java world and I just come through the tutorial in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/filestreams.html showing how to copy a text file:
import java.io.*;
public class Copy {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File inputFile = new File("farrago.txt");
File outputFile = new File("outagain.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader(inputFile);
FileWriter out = new FileWriter(outputFile);
int c;
while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
out.write(c);
in.close();
out.close();
And I would like to ask how to covert all lower case letters in input file to upper case letter in output file at the same time of copying.
I guess it'll be using Character.toUpperCase(c), but I don't know how to do it actually.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hope this helps
import java.io.*;
public class Copy {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File inputFile = new File("farrago.txt");
File outputFile = new File("outagain.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader(inputFile);
FileWriter out = new FileWriter(outputFile);
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(in);
String c;
while ((c = buff.readLine()) != null)
out.write(c.toUpperCase());
in.close();
out.close();

Hi,
As far as i understand from your requirements, it like you need all the data item leve into a text file.
You can fetch all the relevant data from variuos tables and then use GUI_Download into a text file.

How to read several text files at a time

Dear all
Read and write one text file is not a problem, but what confusies me is how to read several text files at one time, in the meanwhile,
is it possible to display the name of the text file?
For example, assuming I want to load file" cha 1, cha 2 , cha 3, " at one time and show their names, how to hadle with it
I have reviewed some files and it is not helpful

Either with a 'for' loop like in the lib you have attached, or like this attached VI

How to send a text file to a printer?

Hi, I'm in dark on how to send a text file to a printer through Java Stored Procedure.
Here are what I tried so far (OS: win 2000, Oracle: 817 or 9i2):
1, Enable DOS command in Java Stored Proc. and try to send PRINT command there:
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
System.out.println("Command: " + Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
public static void main(String args[]){
if (args.length == 1)
Run("print /D:\\\\enterprise\\john " + args[0]);
else System.out.println("Usage: java OSCommand filename");
PL/SQL wrapper:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(p1 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
SQL command:
//print /D:\\machine\printer test.txt
I loaded the Java Stored Procedure into SYSDBS account, it failed silently, even though piece of code works fine in external JVM.
2, Use filePrinter:
public static String print(String printString) {
try{
String printerUNC = "\\\\machine\\printer";
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(printerUNC);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println(printString);
fw.close();
return "OK";
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return "Exception: " + e.getMessage();
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
String printerUNC = "\\\\machine\\printer";
String printString = "Hello World";
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(printerUNC);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println(printString);
fw.close();
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
I loaded it into SYSDBS too, and tried with this:
SQL> select MY_PRINT.PRINT('HELLO from Oracle') from dual;
MY_PRINT.PRINT('HELLOFROMORACLE')
Exception: No such file or directory
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
It works in external JVM too.
What's wrong with this?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Charles

Avi:
Thanks for your response!
I put the java code in SYS, 'cause I assume that account has max privilege. If the test is successful, I will move that to some user schema and then to deal with those privilege settings... But I'm unlucky.
I checked Ask Tom, this is what I got from http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:1619723::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:38012348052,%7Bprinter%7D:
... Print file from PL/SQL ...
If you are using Oracle8i, release 8.1 -- much can be done with Java. java
would be able to print directly from the server.
Looks like using Java to print out file is better than PL/SQL. But there's no more hint there! And, no new question can be asked there today either...
I'm wondering whether we can create a socket to a printer and send the characters there directly... Anyone has experience on this?
Thanks for all the help in advance,
Charles

How to create a text file or XML file and add content through code into it...

Hi Everyone,
How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?

Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.
code
try
 { String s1="";
 File f1 = new File(the path);

How to read a text file using Java

Guys,
Good day!
Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards,
I-Talk

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

How to import a text file created in Pages (iWork '08) to Photoshop Elements

I am totally a novice at working with Photoshop Elements. I need help. I want to create my business card in Photoshop Elements with a background image and then a text layer over the background layer. The logo and text was created in Pages (iWork '08). Can I import this text file to Photoshop Elements and if so how do I do that? I cannot create the same logo in Elements unless someone can tell me how to draw a circle with a transparent background so that just the outline of the circle shows and the background comes through. Thanks for any help you can offer. I have OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Photoshop Elements 6.

In PSE, to draw an empty circle use the elliptical marquee tool and hold down shift while you drag to constrain it to a circle. That will give you an empty selection, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection. A window appears where you can choose the width and color of the stroke.
However, I'm not understanding why you would want to create your business card in PSE rather than in Pages or equivalent. Is there a special reason for this?
EDIT As for the text file, it would be simpler just to retype it in PSE, since it can't be very much text. Remember that PSE doesn't do all the fancy things with text that Pages can, although it can do some things (like warping) that Pages can't.
You could activate the text tool and use copy/paste, but you'll lose most of the formatting.

How can I sync text files into iPhone?

How can I sync text files into iPhone? like doc. txt. for reading or editing

The native iPhone OS doesn't allow that. I think there are several solutions to this, some of which may be against the AT&T or Apple rules. One legitimate solution is The Missing Sync for iPhone by mark/space (http://www.markspace.com).
Before I had an iPhone, I owned a copy of The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It was a pretty decent app. In my opinion, though, their app for the iPhone is NOT worth the price ($40 new, $25 for a cross-grade).
Also, check the App Store (if you have 2.0 software)--there may be an app that does this, probably for a lot less $.
