How to test if a csv file is empty or not and email it?

Hi,
I am new to powershell scripting and i have a small task which is basically i have a csv file which will sometimes be empty(it will have header row even if its empty ) and sometimes it will have some rows of data.so basically i have to write a power shell
script which will look at the csv file and if its empty then do nothing if its not empty then email it to someone with the csv file attached to it?
Can someone please help me with it?
Thanks

Hi mike,
Yeah sure i will keep an eye on it ,and yeah coming back to your way of code.Here is the way i am doing it
If ((Import-Csv D:\App\ODS\File\Share\StoreTrafficException.csv).Count -gt 1)
       Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]"
       -From "[email protected]"
       -Attachments D:\App\ODS\File\Share\StoreTrafficException.csv
       -Subject 'Check on this file'
       -SmtpServer "int-smtp1.jjill.com"
and if i run this one i get the following error :-
Missing expression after unary operator '-'.
At D:\App\Email.ps1:5 char:9
+        - <<<< Attachments D:\App\ODS\File\Share\StoreTrafficException.csv
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (-:String) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingExpressionAfterOperator
And all the sendmail paramaters and values are correct because i am using the sameone in my other code which i said worked fine.Can you suggest me any changes on why its failing? Just want to know the reason and it would be great if i can have this way also.
Thanks

How to force checked out CSV Files to open in Excel and not in Notepad

Hi,
I'm looking for some pointers / direction.
.CSV files on SharePoint 2010 document library opens up in notepad by default. I did the DocIcon.xml CSV entry, changed the MIME type in IIS and did the IIS reset. Also on client computer CSV file is associated with MS Excel 2013. Now clicking a CSV file
opens it up in MS Excel.
Now a user checks out a CSV file and the same user clicks on the CSV file, the file is opening in notepad! If other users clicks on the same checked out file (checked out by the first user) it opens up in Excel for them. I've tried the 'Edit in Microsoft
Excel' from the pop up menu but with same result.
How can I force a checked out CSV file to open in MS Excel?
Thanks

1. Highlight one of the images and press cmd+i (or right click and select "Get info")
2. Click the dropdown menu and select Photoshop (you might have to click "Other..." to find it.
3. Then click "Change All" button below.
You're going to have to do this with every different TYPE of image (e.g. jpeg, tiff etc) but once you've covered all the types you won't have the problem again.
Hope this helps!

How do I compare two csv files and not disable the user if the username is found in the 2nd file using powershell?

Hi Guys
I have two csv files with the following headers and I need to import both files into the script to check whether the StaffCode is present in the Creation/Renewal of Contract csv in a DisableAccount Script so I can stop any action to disable the account as
the staff has renewed the contract with the company so the account should not be disabled.
However my accounts are still being disabled. I am not sure now to construct the query so that it detects that the account is to be left alone if the staffcode is present in both files
I does recognize that the $staffcodeN in the renewal file matches the $staffcode in the termination file
but still proceeds to disable or set an expiry date to the account anyway based on the termination file.
How do I stop it from doing that?
1)In the Creation/Renewal of contract file the following headers are present
- TranCode,StaffCode,LastName,FirstName,SocialSecurityNo,DateJoin,Grade,Dept,LastUpdateDate,EffectiveDate
2)In the Disable of contract file the following headers are present
- TranCode,StaffCode,LastName,FirstName,SocialSecurityno,LastDateWorked,Grade,Dept,LastUpdateDate,
My data is not very clean , I have a-lot of special characters such as = , ' ,/ and \ characters to remove first before i can compare the data
Thanks for the help in advance.
Yours Sincrely
Vicki

Hi Vicki,
This Forum has an insert-codeblock function. Using it will make your script far more readable
Your script is missing some parts, it is impossible to follow the problem.
You are performing the same string cleaning action on $opencsv2 for each element in $opencsv, when doing it once should suffice. Why not start it all by cleaning the values and storing the cleaned values in new arrays?
The Compare-Object function is great, why not take it out for a stroll on these lists, it might just safe you lots of unnecessarily complicated code ...
You are creating a new $Domain, $Root and $Searcher object each iteration, when doing it once should suffice. Probably not much of a time-saver, but every little thing contributes.
Try pinpointing the problem by doing extensive logging, not only by writing which action was taken, but writing the inidividual information (variables, mostly) before evaluation occurs. Your if/elseif/else looks sound, so if it's still not doing what you
want, the ingoing data must be different from what you think should be there.
Cheers,
Fred

How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?

Hi. Everybody:
How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?
The first csv file is easy (report attributes -> report export -> enable CSV output Yes). However, our users demand 2 csv files with different report columns selected to meet their different needs.
(The users don't want to have one csv file with all report columns included. They just want to get whatever they need directly, no extra columns)
Thank you for any help!
MZ

Hello,
I'm doing it usually. Typically example would be in the report only the column "FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME" displayed whereas
in the csv exported with the UTL_FILE the complete address (street, housenumber, additions, zip, town, state ... ) is written, these things are needed e.g. the form letters.
You do not need another page, just an additional button named e.g. "export_to_csv" on your report page.
The csv export itself is handled from a plsql procedure "stored procedure" ( I like to have business logic outside of apex) which is invoked by pressing the button "export_to_csv". Of course the stored procedure can handle also parameters
An example code would be something like
PROCEDURE srn_brief_mitglieder (
     p_start_mg_nr IN NUMBER,
     p_ende_mg_nr IN NUMBER
AS
export_file          UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

l_lfd               NUMBER;
l_dateiname          VARCHAR2(100);

How to test the simple .java file in cactus

dear friends,
i have use the junit first time .And i am working in weblogic8.1 so i have use cactus .But i face the problem to use it.
1. how to test the simple .java file in cactus.
2.how to run the cactus in weblogic 8.1.

Hi,
It is because the converter works on byte code and it only supports a subset of the Java language (see the JC specifications). It is kind of like compiling you code on Java 6 and trying to run it on Java 5. The JCDK outlines the required compiler version.

Help Me... How to get Data from CSV File...?

Hi Everyone..!
This is yajiv and am working in CS3 Photoshop platform. I know about Java Script. Is it possible to get the data from CSV files. Actually our client use to send us the CSV files which contains a lot of swatch name and reference files in one particular image name.
Actually how we work on that CSV file is, first we copy file name to search that CSV file. then get the result to paste into layer name. This process continue till the end of swatch.
Thank in Advance

Open hub destination problem - .csv file is empty

Hi everyone,
I am trying to extract data from our BW system using Open Hub Dest. to a .csv file
DTP runs successfully means show total no. of records but when I see in AL11 then records are not in .csv file that is .csv file is empty.
How to figure out the problem?
Best regards
Ahmad

@Jagadeesh:
if I correctly understood you, you mean to say that first I should run DTP and save to an excel file to see if it shows data or not. This i think is not possible; as when we create OHD then 'Destination Type' we can choose among 'DB table', 'table' and 'third party tool',
so if I choose 'Table' then 'File Name' is .csv file (same name as the OHD) and can change it to .xls file
@Arun:
have permission to write in the folder
Do you mean creating OH to a Database Table?
in DTP I have a filter on a Characteristic, when its 1500 records then it works (data is in .csv file) but when 3500 records then .csv file is empty
no error message, no log
Regards
Ahmad

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in. I want to use it with an HTML table generator tool, but the tool is looking for commas. The Export to CSV exports it as a spreadsheet with all the formatting removed, and no commas.
Here is the html table tool:
http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php

Numbers '09 create CSV files with comma separated values if and only if your system is using decimal period.
If the system is using decimal comma, the CSV files are created using semi-colon as separator.

How do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides?

how do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides with the skip or next chapter command on the dvd remote? when I export to quicktime, it changes slides on a timed basis. I want the chapter button on a dvd remote to act like a mouse click would.

Hi Robert
You have to export the individual slides from your Keynote presentation, and then import them into your DVD application.
I use DVDStudioPro - it works fine this. I'm sure iDVD will be OK.Going via QT has never worked for me.
