Importing From Appleworks 6 Files

My old Mac running Appleworks 6 died. I bought a new iMac but I see they no longer come with Appleworks. So, I loaded the old version onto the new iMac. Now, some Appleworks spreadsheets won't open; I get a message that says, "An I/O error occurred.
So is iWork the replacement for Appleworks? Will iWork open my Appleworks 6 spreadsheets properly? How about my Appleworks 6 word processing documents? Most of my Appleworks 6 documents seem to open okay with the old software running in the new OS, but I'm willing to upgrade if it will solve my problem.
I can't download the trial version of iWork 08-even with a high speed connection so that doesn't seem to be an option. I drop the download process after a few minutes.

There is much more to deleting the AppleWorks preferences than just the .plist.
The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
If you would ever have the need to open ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files, you need to be aware that AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all of these files. It gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, so a good choice would be AppleWorks 6.2.4. AppleWorks 6.2.4 is the earliest version stable in OS X. Avoid 6.2.7 - very, very, very buggy!

How do I move a graphic-box in a document I imported from AppleWorks?

I imported a book which I wrote in AppleWorks without problems into Pages '08. On one page of this book I had created a box, using the graphics tool, and moved it to the back so I could read the text inside it. It is now in the Pages '08 version of my book, but because of editing and additional writing which I've done, it appears on page 295, not 297 where it belongs. In AppleWorks I could simply select it and drag it into place. In Pages '08 I can't figure out how to select it. It's just there.
Help desperately needed.

Here is an AppleScript which, in a single call will
• extract the embedded picture files
• strip the annoying description of the 'background' pictures from the Index.xml file.
So, we may open the Pages document, it will be free of the oddity and the picture files are available in the folder "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
--(SCRIPT recupPictures]
Save the script as an Application (Bundle Application if you want to use it on a MacIntel)
Store it on the Desktop.
Drag and drop the icon of a Pages document imported from AppleWorks on the script's icon.
The script will move the embedded picture files in a folder named "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
Then it will strip the Index.xml file from the block of datas describing the embedded pictures.

How to find out what was imported from a dump file

Hi.
I got the dump file from a group and they told me to import it. Import job went successfully without errors as following:

How do i find out what was imported from a dump file?

another way would be to just list the contents of the dump file

Import from .dmp.Z file

Hi Gurus...
I have one dmp file but its in compressed format that is xyz.dmp.Z
Now I have to run the import from this file. I wanted to know can I run the import directly from .dmp.Z file or do I need to de-compress it first ? As its a big file (size of around 20 GB), so it will take loads of space when de-compressed.
Thanks...
Sidhu

This is the script that I have written
export ORACLE_SID=CONRCC
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1
mknod /tmp/imp_pipe p
uncompress /home/USB/backups/exp_MDRRCC_20070511_125155.dmp.Z >/tmp/imp_pipe &
imp file=/tmp/imp_pipe show=y full=y log=/home/oracle/MDRRCC/MDRRCC_import.logit seems that first its de-compressing the file as it has made a file with the same name (of size 37 GB as of now & in ps -ef its showing uncompress as running). so is it going to uncompress the file first ? if yes then whats the advantage of using pipe ? its as good as de-compressing the file first and then running the import.
any points
Sidhu

PL/SQL Package importing from Flat Data files

Looking for sample PL/SQL package in importing data from flat data files into Oracle. Possible using the UTL_FILE.FOPEN and UTL_FILE.GET_LINE functions ?

SQL Loader is tailor-made for importing data from flat-files.
There's way less code to write and it is usually faster than coded approach so this may be better solution for you, depending on details of your situation.
See docs: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76955/ch03.htm#2436

Trying to import from different csv files into multiple JTables

This might seem like something that isn't commonly done, but I'll see if anyone has done this before anyways.
I currently have a JTable (tab #1) and it successfully reads in the data from a CSV file to populate the cells. Now, I am looking into making 3 more JTables. I can tab between the four different tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the data to go to the correct JTable. Tab #1 = table, Tab #2 = table2, Tab #3 = table3, Tab #4 = table4.
Thanks.
        try
            FileInputStream fileInput = new FileInputStream ("upcoming.csv");
            BufferedReader InputCSV = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (fileInput));
            line = InputCSV.readLine(); //start reading into the records.
                //Create data for the table.
                //the row variable = starting row
            int row = 0;
            while(line != null)
                tmp = line.split(",");
                for (int col = 0; col < columnNames.length; ++col)
                    data[row][col] = tmp[col]; //store cells' data to the 2-dimensional array.
                row++;
                line = InputCSV.readLine();
            }//end of WHILE-statement.
        } //END of TRY-statement.
        catch(Exception e)
            System.out.println(e);
        }

I have been successful in my quest to get 4 different datasets into 4 different JTables. The previous posters suggestion to use the Table model led me to this page:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/table/TableModel.html
        TableModel myData = new MyTableModel();
        JTable table = new JTable(myData);I had some very similar code in my program. I use the DefaultTableModel and the SortFilterModel before having 4 different JTables.
        DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model2 = new DefaultTableModel(data2, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model3 = new DefaultTableModel(data3, columnNames);
        DefaultTableModel model4 = new DefaultTableModel(data4, columnNames);I use the code in the first post 4 times, and only change the filename and the data#.
I also have some code that counts the number of lines that will be needed.
Thanks.

Search whole table (imported from an excel file) for those matching substring (this is an input from user) in project siena

Im trying to search my entire table (data is imported using an excel file - containing 2 cols, description and image url) for those that match the substring entered by the user into an inputText within project siena. I have 2 screens within the project,
the first screen shows all the data in a gallery, the second screen will allow the user to search for those that match the word he/she has enter. The entered word is only a sub string, and I want to search all rows which match that sub string.. Help would
be appreciated as im a newbie to making windows apps!!

Lest say you have 'Gallery1' in screen1 and 'Gallery2' in screen2. your Excel input table is called 'table1' and your input text box is called 'inputText1'.
If you have bound 'table1' to your 'Gallery1', then you can accomplish what you are trying to do by using this rule on Items property of Gallery2: "Filter(Gallery1!AllItems, InputText1!Text in Description)"
The above formula will filter out rows that have description containing the input text.

Illustrator breaks text at a point when importing from an EPS file?

I am importing an EPS file from a statistical software. All text strings that belong together are in brackets ( ), so the EPS file is OK. When AI creates the chart it happens that the last glyph is a new and independent text string (text at a point).
Is it possible to force AI to respect the structure of the EPS file.
Thanks,
Daniel

No.
You can only fix it afterwards.

Import from DVDxDV created file into imovie HD with scene breaks

I purchased the DVDxDV program and it is working fine importing files from my Sony mini-dvd handycam. When I import the movie file created by DVDxDV into imovie 08, the program seems to automatically create scene breaks (which I want it to do!) However, I would really prefer to use imovie. When I import the DVDxDV created movie file into imovie HD, it comes in as one big video file. I need many, little clips out of this one big file. Is there a way to either import it through DVDxDV with the original scene breaks? Or can I configure imovie HD to behave like imovie 08 and break this big file up? Any help is really appreciated.

My guess is you'll see the same artifacts using other applications. I do recommend, however, MPEG Streamclip and Miraizon's Cinematize. Those let you select the portions of a video you want to convert so you save a lot of time and hard drive space.
Also, recent versions of Toast (I don't know if this is true for Toast 7) can export individual chapters from a video DVD or VIDEO_TS folder as separate files. This is done via the Toast Media Browser. Put the VIDEO_TS folder on the desktop or insert the DVD, choose DVD with the top button of the Media Browser. When the item appears in the browser window use the button beneath "DVD" to access the chapter level. Select the chapters you want and drag them to the Video window with DVD video selected as the format. After Toast extracts the split MPEG files you can select them and export them to other formats. It's possible, though, that Toast 7 doesn't have the ability to access the chapter levels.

Unexpected Quits while trying to import from a .xls file

When I decided to purchase Iworks I was under the impression that numbers was capable of importing documents that had been created in excel. I have now tried to do so a number of different times with different files (all with the file extension .xls). Each time, I get an error message that says the following:
The application Numbers quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the LSCompatibility plug-in.
I am a rooking Mac user and any help you can provide would be appreciated.

As far as I know, iWork (without a s) was never depicted as opening _"all Excel documents"_ but as _"opening Exel documents"_ which means that it open _many of them but not all_ .
Is it surprising that it is unable to open documents created with an Excel version introduced after the Numbers creation ?
To get it able to open them, you will have to wait for the next major version.

Multiple imports from same dump file

Hi,
I have to import multiple related schemas - to avoid having to create multiple dump files can I just export them into one dump file (owner= a,b,c etc) and then run
simultaneous imports
like : export <dba_user> owner=a,b,c file=all.dmp
--in newdb
nohup import <dba_user> fromuser=a touser=a file=all.dmp &
nohup import <dba_user> fromuser=b touser=b file=all.dmp &
nohup import <dba_user> fromuser=c touser=d file=all.dmp &
my doubt is - if the 3 import processes simultaneously read from teh file, can there be some issue?
thanks

Hi,
Why not try
import <dba_user> fromuser=a,b,c touser=a,b,d file=all.dmp &Regards

Xml import from mutlitple xml files

Is it possible to import different xml files for different locations within the same InDesign document?
For example a single page has two text boxes. Text Box 1 needs to import data from File1.xml, Text Box 2 needs to import data from File2.xml, etc. Is this possible or will File1.xml and File2.xml need to be merged into one xml file?

TurtleCruiser,
One of the problems I have had is that I want the data to update through linking, but I've only managed to get one text box to update while the data in the other box disappeared. Since posting I have managed to achieve the desired result using InDesign Tagged Text. Ideally, I would like to use xml so I will see if I can achieve the same result with your method.
Many thanks for your reply.

Importing from AppleWorks-6

Have tried to import AppleWorks-6 letter paper Template with photo and text address as headed note paper (.cws) into Pages-2, and it will not open no matter which way I try. Blurb says you can open AppleWorks documents in PAGES -2, Advice would be most welcome as to HOW with a <.cws> document.
Aluminium 15" G4 PowerBook - G4 Tower - dual core G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.3.9) dual core G5 Tower on OSX 10.4.3

For some reason I don't understand, unchecking "stationery pad" in Get Info is not really changing the document. It still says it is an com.apple.appleworks.template under General in the Get Info window. The same thing happens if I use this method to change an AppleWorks document to a template. In this case the icon changes to a stationery pad, but it is still a document.
I've worked out a method to make the change without having to open each document in AppleWorks & save it as an AppleWorks document. If your AppleWorks templates all have the .cws extension, you may skip the first step. Create a new folder to put the files to be changed in. If you don't have the AppleScript menu in the Menu Bar, see my user tip, AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files, that explains how to activate it. It also gives some information on the process below.
1. Select all of the files you have put in the change folder & then click on the AppleScript icon > Finder Scripts > Add to File Names > type .cws in the text box & click Suffix.
2. Now select all of the files in the change folder (they should now all have the .cws file extension). Again, go to Finder Scripts but this time choose Replace Text in File Names > File Names > type cws > OK > type cwk > OK > OK. Now, Pages will recognize the AppleWorks 6 word processing documents as those it can open. Remember, Pages can only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents.

Video import from HandiCam = no file created

I’m trying to import some footage that was recorded on a Sony 8mm Handicam ( model DCR-TRV330 NTSC) into iMovie (version 10.0.6). I’ve got the camera hooked up via firewire. I can select ‘import video’ from the iMovie window. iMovie is able to control the transport of the camera and I can see playback in the iMovie window.
I click on “import”, the video plays and it shows “recording….” in the top left of the import window. It also says “No Data from Device” in the top right of the window. When I’m done importing there is no data file created in the selected library. In short, everything seems to be working as I’d expect, but there is no video file being saved!
What to do?

Use iMovie HD 06 or iMovie 11. (My favorite is iMovie HD 06.) Both are readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06 or iLife 11. These versions happily work with FireWire.
Also, Apple has removed the ability to set chapter markers with iMovie 10. With iMovie HD 06 or iMovie 11 one click will set your chapter markers. These markers are automatically recognized by iDVD.
