Importing accents from a txt file
Hi everyone
I have the following proble that I can't solve for now:
I've got a pdf file with forms
I've got an excel file that I export to txt (tab delimited text file)
When I import the data from the txt file to the pdf everything is fine but the french accents (é or è or à). For example the "é" becomes a " ,".
I thinks it might be related to unicode or utf but I don't know how to export properly then import those characters.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Florent
PS: I'm using Excell 2011 on MAC and Acrobat 9 Pro.
Done that already, no luck.
I've saved in all the txt formats possible in my Excel.

Importing Text From A .txt File
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way to import text from a .txt file but I'm totally lost. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesomeHi Prails
This script is basically what you asked:
#target illustrator
#targetengine main
function copyText(){
var textFile = File.openDialog ("Select the file");
if (! textFile.exists || app.documents.length==0){
return;
textFile.open("r");
var txtContent = textFile.read();
textFile.close();
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textItem = doc.textFrames.add();
textItem.contents = txtContent
copyText ();
Basically what you need to do is declare the text file, open it, read the content and close it. Then, you create a new text item in the Illustrator document and write the content once catched into the text item.
You could continue to work with the variable "textItem" in my example script if you want to set properties like the size, color of the text, position and so on. Also, if you want, replace the first line of the function var textFile = new File ("~/Desktop/Test.txt"); by var textFile = File.openDialog ("Select the file"); so the scripts opens a dialog to ask you the file you want the copy the content.
Hope to be helped
Best Regards

Importing data from a .txt file and have Acrobat create new pages
Hi everyone,
I've created a form in Acrobat 9 to be used as an invoice. I want to be able to import data from an excel spreadsheet or .txt file into all the form fields. I know that I can go Forms > Manage form Data > Import Data to import 1 record at a time, but say I have about 50 invoices to populate, is there a way to import all the records at once and have acrobat create a new invoice for each of the customer's records?
If there is a way, will it be compatible for Acrobat Reader users since this form will be used by someone who only has the Reader?
Really appreciate any help.Sure.. this is what we use. "New Micro Right Click Tools"

How to skip footer details when loading data from a .txt file
Hello experts,
i have to import data from a txt file into my database. I have skipped my header info by using SKIP but how can i ignore my footer details.

Processing txt file for a required format -
I have a VI and an attched .txt data file. Now I want to read the data from the .txt file and display it as an array in the front panel. But the result is not right. Any help?
Attachments:
try2.txt 2 KB
read_array.vi 21 KBThe problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does. -
How to import data from a text file into a table
Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp

Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!

How to retrieve IndividualStrings from a txt file using String Tokenizer.
hello can any one help me to retrieve the individual strings from a txt file using string tokenizer or some thing like that.
the data in my txt file looks like this way.
Data1;
abc; cder; efu; frg;
abc1; cder2; efu3; frg4;
Data2
sdfabc; sdfcder; hvhefu; fgfrg;
uhfhabc; gffjcder; yugefu; hhfufrg;
Data3
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
i need to read the data as an individual strings and i need to pass those values to diffarent labels,the dat in Data3 i have to read those values and add to an table datamodel as 6 columns and rows depends on the data.
i try to retrieve data using buffered reader and inputstream reader,but only the way i am retrieving data as an big string of entire line ,i tried with stringtokenizer but some how i was failed to retrive the data in a way i want,any help would be appreciated.
Regards,Hmmm... looks like the file format isn't even very consistent... why the semicolon after Data1 but not after Data2 or Data3??
Your algorithm is reading character-by-character, and most of the time it's easier to let a StringTokenizer or StreamTokenizer do the work of lexical analysis and let you focus on the parsing.
I am also going to assume your format is very rigid. E.g. section Data1 will ALWAYS come before section Data2, which will come before section Data3, etc... and you might even make the assumption there can never be a Data4, 5, 6, etc... (this is why its nice to have some exact specification, like a grammar, so you know exactly what is and is not allowed.) I will also assume that the section names will always be the same, namely "DataX" where X is a decimal digit.
I tend to like to use StreamTokenizer for this sort of thing, but the additional power and flexibility it gives comes at the price of a steeper learning curve (and it's a little buggy too). So I will ignore this class and focus on StringTokenizer.
I would suggest something like this general framework:
//make a BufferedReader up here...
do
String line = myBufferedReader.readLine();
if (line!=null && line.trim().length()>0)
line = line.trim();
//do some processing on the line
while (line!=null);So what processing to do inside the if statement?
Well, you can recognize the DataX lines easily enough - just do something like a line.startsWith("Data") and check that the last char is a digit... you can even ignore the digit if you know the sections come in a certain order (simplifying assumptions can simplify the code).
Once you figure out which section you're in, you can parse the succeeding lines appropriately. You might instantiate a StringTokenizer, i.e. StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, "); and then read out the tokens into some Collection, based on the section #. E.g.
strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, ");
if (sectionNo==0)
//read the tokens into the Labels1 collection
else if (sectionNo==1)
//read the tokens into the Labels2 collection
else //sectionNo must be 2
//create a new line in your table model and populate it with the token values...
}I don't think the delimiters are necessary if you are using end-of-line's as delimiters (which is implicit in the fact that you are reading the text out line-by-line). So the original file format you listed looks fine (except you might want to get rid of that rogue semicolon).
Good luck. -
How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?
How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?
The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file. But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file. I just did it to be sure it works.
1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
I hope this is what you're trying to do! -
Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file
how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
thanksHey 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 -
Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro
Hi All,
I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot
AakashHi,
Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Date;
import jxl.*;
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
String a1 = a1.getContents();
String b2 = b2.getContents();
String c2 = c2.getContents();
// perform operations on strings
However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
String a1 = null;
Double b2 = 0;
Date c2 = null;
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
stringa1 = lc.getString();
if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
numberb2 = nc.getValue();
if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
datec2 = dc.getDate();
// operate on dates and doubles
It is recommended to, use the close() method (as in the code piece below) when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.
// Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
workbook.close();
The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.

Using HTTPService to import data from a XML file
Hello there!
I'm having some problem's with this import... If anyone can
help, I would appreciate it!
I'm using this type of information as data source:
public var dataCollection:ArrayCollection =
new ArrayCollection([
{ id: "P1", name: "Porto", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R1", name: "Dr Silva", location: "Bloco 1", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R2", name: "Dra Neto", location: "Gabinete", type:
"member"
{ id: "P2", name: "Braga", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R3", name: "Dr Santos", location: "Bloco 2", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R4", name: "Dra Sonia", location: "Piso 1", type:
"member"
But I want to import it from a XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="P1" name="Porto" type="team">
<children id="R1" name="Dr Silva" location="Bloco 1"
type="member" />
<children id="R2" name="Dra Neto" location="Gabinete"
type="member" />
</item>
<item id="P2" name="Braga" type="team">
<children id="R3" name="Dr Santos" location="Bloco 2"
type="member" />
<children id="R4" name="Dra Sonia" location="Piso 1"
type="member" />
</item>
</items>
I already import the file, but can not translate the data
into a array collection.
private function initApp():void {
var httpService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
httpService.url = "dataprovider.xml";
httpService.resultFormat = "e4x";
httpService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,
onFaultHttpService);
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
onResultHttpService);
httpService.send();
private function onFaultHttpService(e:FaultEvent):void
Alert.show("Error reading data file.");
private function onResultHttpService(e:ResultEvent):void
//Convert the xml data to a array collection
Thank youHello Peter, and thank you for your reply's.
My problem is that I'm receiving the data from the external
file and I don't know how to get the children in place... I mean, I
also have some data being received form a file that I can convert
into an array collection, but the thing is, that file doesn't have
children structure...
It's something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="T1" resourceId="R1" name="Cardiologia"
startTime="25-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 8:30:0" />
<item id="T2" resourceId="R2" name="Raio-X"
startTime="25-3-09 9:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 9:15:0" />
<item id="T3" resourceId="R3" name="Analises"
startTime="25-3-09 12:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 12:45:0" />
<item id="T4" resourceId="R4" name="Consulta"
startTime="26-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="26-3-09 9:0:0" />
</items>
And I solve it with this (don't know if is the best):
private function onResultHttpServiceTask(e:ResultEvent):void
var a:Array = xmlListToObjectArray(e.result.item);
tasks = new ArrayCollection(a);
protected function
xmlListToObjectArray(xmlList:XMLList):Array
var a:Array = new Array();
for each(var xml:XML in xmlList)
var attributes:XMLList = xml.attributes();
var o:Object = new Object();
for each (var attribute:XML in attributes)
var nodeName:String = attribute.name().toString();
var value:*;
value = attribute.toString();
o[nodeName] = value;
a.push(new ObjectProxy(o));
return a;
But when the children "enter in action" I don't know how to
bring them to the array...
This code you send it's preaty much the thing I need, but the
thing is that I don't know how to call the children with data as
e:ResultEvent...
If you can help a bit more, I would really appreciate...

to compare a character from a txt file!You fail to understand, that you have read the data
from the file into a string. Now loop over all

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table
I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
Any ideas / help ?And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;) -
Reading integers from a .txt file and computing means

Now i need to change this program to read integers from a .txt file and return the same data. Basically i need to change my for statements that are incrementing to read the text file.
Thanks guys.You haven't asked a question. You haven't posted code. What are you expecting here?
