Importing txt file and placing in set up autoflow text

Hi there
I'm not really an indesign user so I am extremely new to the product.
I am wanting to place a text file into a (now) indesign template (was pagemaker) and into an autoflow text area where the text flows from one page to another.  I want to overwrite what is in the current document with this new text but wanting the new text to fill the correct pages of the template.
My question is what is the fastest way to make this happen?
The auto flow is already set from the pagemaker template;
The txt file has separated the text by tabs across the page.
Your assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Cheers

Without giving you a full lesson on how to format text in InDesign, I'm hoping the template contains, Text Frame placeholders (it sounds from your description that it does) Paragraph and Character styles at least to format the .txt file once the new text is in the document?
Use your Type tool, click in the existing text and Ctrl/Cmd+A (Edit > Select All). Then choose File > Place and navigate to your .txt file to replace currently selected text.  Then format the text with appropriate paragraph styles etc.
If particular text must start on a new page, in a different frame or column, then you could insert break characters where needed (Type > Insert Break Character). I'd generally advice that the break information -- where linked to a particular paragraph style -- is set as part of the paragraph style itself.
You might also want to consult the InDesign Help to learn a bit more about all of this.
Good luck,

  • How to recognize string in txt file and set it as variable

    Hi, 
    I have txt file and somwhere in it string starting with:
    data directory....:
    How (using batch file) find it in the text, read and set the value as a variable? I mean the string is:
    data directory....: c:\datadir
    where what I mean value is  in this case "c:\datadir". So I want batch file to read the txt file, find string starting with "data directory....:" and then set "c:\datadir" as a variable. 
    Best, mac

    It's not very intuitive to do this sort of thing in a batch file. If you have the option to use PowerShell instead, I'd highly recommend it. It's the new way for performing command-line tasks in Windows, and there's no need to struggle with the old command
    prompt anymore.
    Here are PowerShell and batch examples of doing this type of string parsing:
    # PowerShell:
    $dataDirectory = Get-Content .\test.txt |
    ForEach-Object {
    if ($_ -match '^\s*data directory\.*:\s*(.+?)\s*$')
    $matches[1]
    break
    $dataDirectory
    # Batch file:
    @echo off
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    set DATA_DIRECTORY=
    for /F "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in (test.txt) do (
    set PROPERTY=%%a
    set PROPERTY=!PROPERTY:~0,14!
    if /I "!PROPERTY!" equ "data directory" (
    set DATA_DIRECTORY=%%b
    :RemovingSpaces
    if "%DATA_DIRECTORY:~0,1%" neq " " goto :SpacesRemoved
    set DATA_DIRECTORY=%DATA_DIRECTORY:~1%
    goto :RemovingSpaces
    :SpacesRemoved
    echo %DATA_DIRECTORY%

  • There are no readers registered for the txt type - Issue importing txt file

    Hello guys,
    I am working on SQL developer 3.2. and Oracle database 11g. I am trying to import a txt file with only two columns and 100 rows separated with a pipe. I can import the same file if its in *.CSV or *.xls format. I right click on the table > Import table > Choose the *.txt file > and then I get a message "There are no readers registered for the txt type". Why? Where do I get the reader? I am using the same exact method and the same exact data to import using a different file format and I do not get any errors. The wizard comes up and I am ready to load. I have scoured through this forum for a solution and I could not find one. Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    It means we don't support that file type for doing imports. It sounds like a reasonable request to [add to the Exchange|sqldeveloper.oracle.com] though.

    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?

    The 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.

    Mike,
    you were right, you may not specify the extension of a file.
    Another thing i detected is that the loop of my data start with the index 1 instead of 0 !!!
    In this scenario, i have to read all the lines of the file and each time i should do a SQL-query,
    so that i can use the result to build my sales document.
    Do you know if it this is possible or have you any idea how to do this ?
    thx,
    Mario

    i click yes and when the clip is layed out on the timeline there is a red line above the timeline, when i play the clip i only get bleeps as audio and not the original sound.
    If i drag the playhead i can hear the audio but if i try to play all i hear us bleeps plus if i import an mp3 the red line appears above the timeline and the same applies

    Hi Zak,
    many thanks for your reply, i have contacted Apple and taking your advice and using compressor i have converted the codec H.264 to Apple Pro Res 422 for interlaced material.
    I have imported this file and when i drag once again from the viewer to canvas i get the standard box asking to change the sequence to match the clip.
    I am still getting the red line above the timeline and bleeping as audio.
    any idea?

  • Reading .txt file and non-english chars

    i added .txt files to my app for translations of text messages
    the problem is when i read the translations, non-english characters are read wrong on my Nokia. In Sun Wireless Toolkit it works.
    See the trouble is because I don't even know what is expected by phone...
    UTF-8, ISO Latin 2 or Windows CP1250?
    im using CLDC1.0 and MIDP1.0
    What's the rigth way to do it?
    here's what i have...
    String locale =System.getProperty("microedition.locale");
    String language = locale.substring(0,2);
    String localefile="lang/"+language+".txt";
    InputStream r= getClass().getResourceAsStream("/lang/"+language+".txt");
    byte[] filetext=new byte[2000];
    int len = 0;
    try {
    len=r.read(filetext);
    then i get translation by
    value = new String(filetext,start, i-start).trim();

    Not sure what the issue is with the runtime. How are you outputing the file and accessing the lists? Here is a more complete sample:
    public class Foo {
         final private List colons = new ArrayList();
         final private List nonColons = new ArrayList();
         static final public void main(final String[] args)
              throws Throwable {
              Foo foo = new Foo();
              foo.input();
              foo.output();
         private void input()
              throws IOException {
             BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/temp/foo.txt"));
             String line = reader.readLine();
             while (line != null) {
                 List target = line.indexOf(":") >= 0 ? colons : nonColons;
                 target.add(line);
                 line = reader.readLine();
             reader.close();
         private void output() {
              System.out.println("Colons:");
              Iterator itorColons = colons.iterator();
              while (itorColons.hasNext()) {
                   String current = (String) itorColons.next();
                   System.out.println(current);
              System.out.println("Non-Colons");
              Iterator itorNonColons = nonColons.iterator();
              while (itorNonColons.hasNext()) {
                   String current = (String) itorNonColons.next();
                   System.out.println(current);
    }The output generated is:
    Colons:
    a:b
    b:c
    Non-Colons
    a
    b
    c
    My guess is that you are iterating through your lists incorrectly. But glad I could help.

  • Reading .txt files and put it into a TextArea

    Hi all,
    I got a problem! I have to make something like a messenger.
    I want to put the written text into a .txt file, after that I have to get the text out of the .txt file and put in into a TextArea.
    I would ike it to to that like this:
    ">User 1
    Hello!
    >User 2
    Hi!
    Now here are my questions:
    1: What is the moet easy way to do this ?
    2: How could i put Enters into a .txt file with Java ?
    3: How could i read all the text from the .txt file and put it into a TextArea WITH ENTERS ?
    Thanks for your help!
    Greetings, Jasper Kouwenberg

    use JTextArea.read(new FileReader(fileName)) for reading.
    and JTextArea.write(new FileWriter(fileName)) for writing.
    The enters should be ok if the user press enter and adds a new line ("\n") to the text area component.
    It will save the enter in the text file and load it correctly back to the text area.
    If you want to add enter programmatically just add "\n" string to the text area component.
