Installed 7 created dupe empty files in library...any way to easily delete?

I upgraded to the new Itunes. It initially lost my whole library settings..i.e. there were only empty files which would not play. I reset the link to the library, which is on a external drive, and consolidated the files. I now have doubled the library up so there are 3000+ files which are duplicated and dont play AND the same amount which do play. I know I can delete the duplicated empty files one by one by highlighting the exclamation point and delete. Is there a way to do this en masse? I did 600 or so and I think I have a repetitive motion disorder....

  • Creating an empty file using variable in script task

    I created an empty file by writing a code in script task. how can i use a variable to do the same job.
    System.IO.File.Create(@"C:\OneEmptyTextFile.txt");

    Hi SyedF,
    Just as you said, we should refer to the code below to create an empty file in the specified path using System.IO.File.Create:
    System.IO.File.Create(Path)
    If we want to use a variable named FilePath to control the path of the created file, please refer to the following code:
    Dim Path As String
    Path = Dts.Variables("FilePath").Value
    System.IO.File.Create(Path)

  • Create an Empty file

    Hi,
    I want to know if there's a way to create an empty file (on PC) from a FORM.
    A user would suply the file name and click on a button, and a piece of code would create an empty file on the LOCAL PC.
    Similar to what TOUCH does in UNIX.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marc.

    But isn't there any oracle PKG that will create an empty file for you? Yes , there is....This is called UTL_FILE.....
    With this built-in db package , PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files...

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Is there any way to mass delete duplicated files?

    I just transferred all of my brother's music from his full laptop onto my desktop.
    Unfortunately, since his girlfriend had her own library, and since none of us were careful to keep track of where the files were kept, I now have several hundred songs that have been duplicated twice or even three or four times on a single library.
    Is there any way to mass delete all the duplicated songs, so I only have one of each track?

    Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts there's a script in there for dealing with duplicates: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

    I would like to install Google Toolbar back into my browser. Any ways to do it?

    Google in previous toolbar versions released Firefox compatible versions, Google no longer supports Firefox as a compatible version for the toolbar, only Chrome & Internet Explorer are supported. Even if you downgraded your Firefox version it wouldn't matter as the latest toolbar version doesn't support FF.

  • Create .txt empty file After Message Processing Command Line Linux command

    Hi All,
    An empty .txt file has to be created in FTP location(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt) only after the .dat file has been created(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.dat)
    Note:.dat has the actual data and .txt is an empty file and is created only after .dat is created
    I know that .txt empty file can be created using the After Message Processing Command Line...
    But confused which command to be given such that it will be created in the FTP location(c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt)
    Can any one please give the Linux command for it...
    Regards,

    Hi Aamir,
    Thanks for the suggestion, I will ask my client to create a shell script at FTP server...
    And one more question,
    This is reverse side , now the .dat file is to be picked only if .txt exists at the FTP server (scenario File > XI>SAP) (earlier was SAP>XI>File)..
    So please can you suggest for this also...
    How can i check for the .txt and pick corresponding .dat file...
    i had posted question long back
    Need to pick .TXT file only if .CTL file is available
    Regards,

  • File/Save As Text creates an empty file

    I'm attempting to produce a text file from a pdf file.  The file seems to have many pages of text, but Save as Text produces an empty file

    Can you select any text using the select tool?
    It could be that they are scanned pages that don't contain any actual text but simply images of text.

  • Create a zip files in a special way

    Dear all,
    Following my yesterday's posting, I would clarify my questions:
    I successfully created a zip file which contains a folder structure and two files from strings. See attached codes.
    However, I don't like the way that I physically created subfolder and files before add them to the zip file.
    Is there any possibility to avoid that part of creating multiple folders?

    I am blocked at that point. Sorry for repeating the same question.
    That doesn't make sense to me. Even more so as your sample code suggests that you are familiar with Writer and ZipEntry concepts. Can you explain in detail where you are stuck or what part of my previous suggestion was unclear to you?
    Scratch that, I think I finally understand your problem. I think the following sample code will get you on track:import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;
    import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.BufferedWriter;
    import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
    public class ZipTest {

            final String[] names = {"root/content1/c1.txt", "root/content2/c2.txt"};
            final String path = System.getProperty("user.home") + "/test.zip";
            ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(path));
            BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(zos, "UTF-8"));
            for (int i = 0; i < content.length; ++i) {
                final ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(names);
    zos.putNextEntry(entry);
    bw.write(content[i]);
    bw.flush();
    zos.closeEntry();
    // this will close zos, too
    bw.close();
