I am having a problem creating a CSV file

I have created CSV files and imported them into Mac's contact book before. For some reason this time its not allowing me to import them because its giving me this message: TEXT FILE IMPORT FAILURE "The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file."
The text when I copy paste it even comes out deliniated and everything.

Problems Creating a CSV from command line

I have tried to create a csv file from the command line and get some unwanted lines of data in the output. Does anyone know how to create a csv without the extra lines from the command line.
I am using the following sequence of commands.
set wrap off
set termout off
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
set lines 900
set pages 9999
set newpage none
set embedded on
set colsep ','
set trimspool on
spool test6.lst
select * from rft;
spool off
When I run this from a script, I get exactly the data, which is what I want.
When I run this from the command prompt, I get an extra line at the start and one at the end of the csv file.
The data at the start is like this:
WMSP:wmsp:SQL*Plus> select * from rft;
The data at the end is like this:
WMSP:wmsp:SQL*Plus> spool off
Does anyone know how to keep these lines out of the data?
Thank you.

Well, a workaround could be to use one of the gazillions of utilities in Unix/Linux to remove all lines having the sql prompt (SQL>), right after your "test6.lst" file has been created.
I am using the "perl pie" for the same in the code snippet that follows:
$
$ cat create_csv.sh
#!/bin/bash
sqlplus -s test/test << EOF
set wrap off
set termout off
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
set lines 900
set pages 9999
set newpage none
set embedded on
set colsep ','
set trimspool on
set echo off
spool test6.lst
select * from t;
spool off
EOF
# remove the lines that have the sql prompt: SQL>
perl -pi -e "s/SQL\>.*$|^$\n//g" test6.lst
$
$ # run the script, dump stdout to the null device
$ create_csv.sh 1>/dev/null
$
$ cat test6.lst
         1,a
         2,b
         3,c
         4,d
$
$Note that the "test6.lst" on my system had the prompt "SQL>". You will have to tweak that regular expression so that it works for the prompt in your "test6.lst" file.

Getting CLOB fron Database then creating a CSV File

Hi,
I am trying to read a CLOB for the DB in my Backing Bean with the help of EJB.
The code in my backing bean is:
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();The API where the accessors for getReportText() is;
@Lob
@Column(name="REPORT_TEXT")
public char[] getReportText()
    return reportText;
public void setReportText(char[] reportText)
    this.reportText = reportText;
}The problem is that when I do a system out on strReportContent I get a garbage value and not what is in the DB.
Please Help.
Then to render it on the CSV the code is:
// Init servlet response.
      response.reset();
      response.setContentType("plain/text");
      // response.setContentLength(input.available());
      response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
                         "inline; filename=\"" + selectedReportId.getReportName() + "\"");
      output =
          new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();
output.write(strReportContent.toString().getBytes(), 0, strReportContent.length);

Hi,
I am not removing any zeroes . I created the same file in .txt format and XI was able to write the value 008.2010 to the txt file.
I suppose this has somehting to do with excel file properties . By default when we add 008.2010 in the excel sheet , it takes only 8.201. We need to change the format to "text" manually in the excel file to take in zeroes as well.
So , i really dont know how to make sure that the excel file properties does not truncate zeroes while XI is creating the CSV file.

Create a csv file and send it in an email

In coldfusion, is it possible to create a csv file and send it in an email, without ever saving that file on the hard drive?

Yes, you can create an email attachment without writing a file to disk. This feature was introduced in CF 8.0.1.
I've posted a sample to a previous thread on the forums.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2123297
See the CFMAILPARAM section of CF 8.0.1 release notes for attachments without a file on disk.

Issue when creating a CSV file

Stupid issue but I've tried to fix it all day and it's not working...
I need to create a CSV file made up of 3 columns, 2 number and 1 char. The char column is a company name that has spaces in it. When I run the query in SQL Developer, the char column looks fine. When I run in in BiPub as a CSV, I get double-quotes around the char column. It looks fine if I would look at it as DATA or any other format.
I can't use the REPLACE function because there's nothing wrong with the data.
We're using BI Pub v.10.1.3.4.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
Kris

First I tried using a basic rtf file and just selected CSV as the type. Then I tried using the 'e-text template' and selecting CSV, same result. Now I'm trying to use an .xsl file instead of a .rtf to see if that works.

How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

Hi
i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
Note The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
The error i am getting while importing this file:
Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
Assistance appreciated.

It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
It should be as follows
{Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

Problems with a .csv file in an AP conversion.

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade an Ap1240AG, from stand alone to LWAPP.
The question is â¦ in the process of upgrading we have to create a .csv file to put some information in the WLC to manually associate the AP (now an LWAPP AP).
That .csv file has the mac address of the AP, their certification type, and public key hash values.
Who can I get this .csv file?
Thanks in advance,
Rui CapÃ£o

Hi Rui,
The .csv is generated when running the Upgrade Tool (check the first doc linked below) :)

Problem in Saving .CSV file

Dear BI Gurus,
I am creating a CSV extension file for Sales. My Product is of 14 digit. For example our material number is 40000010203316. when I save that excel file as .CSV it saved as 4.00E13 format. I have changed the cell format into number and digit 0. Still saved as same. Because of this, when i load into BI, it gets loaded as 4.00E13.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
With Regards,
Balachander.S

hi
1) select particular coloum where u want to insert 14 digit number in a .csv formate
2) there right click and goto the content menu and select formate cell.
3) on the number tab select a number category. And decimal places as 0.
4) press ok.
now u just save the sheet but dont close it. just u need to minimise ur excel sheet. and then do the data loading. i think so there is no other way to solve the problem rather u need to do the same what i have mentioned up.
I think this will work out for your problem.
reply me.

Problem when uploading CSV File

Hi, i'm testing some changes i made to an infoprovider and something strange is happening to me (as usual) I have a CSV file that is uploaded into BI from my PC and I tested this file with 100 records, later i deleted 98 records so i can test the file with fewer records in order to analyze the formulas in BEx with some very specific data. Now here is the strange part: even though i modified the file and left only 2 record in it, when I run the DTP the system is still uploading 100 records!?! How can that be possible. I checked everything, the datasource and the infopackage are both pointing to the same file (the one which has two records) and there is no other file in the entire hard drive that has 100 records and/or the same name/structure that the file i'm uploading into BI. I just can't figure out why the DTP is uploading more records that I have in the CSV file!?. Any ideas??
Another thing: I'm having problem with 0calmonth, tried everything. I put the calmonth in the CSV file in both formats MMYYYY (092010) and YYYYMM (202009) but I still get error when running the DTP. I have activated/deactivated the conversion routine in the transformation and in the datasource, I change the field length in datasource and tried any possible combination of these changes and I still can't make it work. I searched here and read all the post related to this issue but i still can't figure out how to properly upload information into 0calmonth.
Regards, Mauro

pls check the data in PSA.... you may be loading only 2 records..
Also possible that the DTP is set to load FULL data.... so its loading the entire data from PSA (old + new)
the calmonth format should be YYYYMM... what is the error message u r getting... you can always check the PSA and see whats the format coming there

Excel .xml file is run through Linux Fedora 10 wKDE and cli.sh to create .csv file for Dreamweaver. The .xml file was updated and the new .csv file was inserted back into the root folder for DW. Was working properly before changes, but now it shows error message "call."
Been working on this problem for days!!!! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is the problem? The pricing matrix at the URL you provided is working. If it's something not working on your local system, nobody can help unless they see the code you're working with. In any case, it sounds as though there's something wrong with the CSV file, not with Dreamweaver.

Creating a CSV file from a pl/sql procedure

I would like to know how to write a procedure in pl/sql where i need to check if they are any records in a table say "Table A".

Could anybody please help ?

How do I create a .csv file on my mac?

I am having issues doing some reporting. I have a file that I pull from safari- I need to be able to put this into numbers. Typically, in windows, I would paste the info onto a notepad and save as .csv, then open again in numbers.
So--I can't save in pages like that-- and I can't get it to past in numbers correctly. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Thanks-- I was really trying to get it to this point... I just want to take the text and manipulate it in numbers.
So -- essentially-- I have text that is already comma separated, but can't figure out how to either save as a .csv file that i can import into numbers-- OR just save the text in numbers - where each comma separates the data into different collumns.
Any suggestions would be completely appreciated!!
