Leading zeros in CSV file.

Hi Team,
I need to retain leading zeros in CSV file.
I could eliminate this problem in XLS file by using this tag in the RTF Template:
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?XML_ELEMENT?></fo:bidi-override>.
So, when i do an Export from Publisher for excel document its gives me correct values. i.e zeros are retained.
But when i select "CSV" and then hit Export , it gets saved in txt file and the txt file has the zeros.
but when i rename it to ".csv" and open it does not retain zeros.
Can you please let us know how can we achieve this.
Thanks for help!

Hi Bhupendra,
If its a number the leading zeros will be eliminated in CS in the default CSV .can't do much on this.
But if use the delimiter e-text and get the output file, you can get the leading zeros as needed..

Leading Zero in CSV File

Hello,
I have a report which shows the customer details and the report is working fine, but when I download this report to CSV format the leading zeros doesn't show up on the Customer_ID.
How do I fix this? Please Advice..Thank you.
- Abhi.

The problem is with Excel reading the CSV file. It considers fields with leading zeros to be numeric, not string, and thus removes the leading zeros.
One of the simpler cheats is to put a single quote in front of the leading zeros. The leading zeros remain, but so does the single quote until the user goes into each cell and hits the [Enter] key.
Another option is to push the data into an excel spreadsheet right in PeopleSoft and deliver it to the user (binary operation, not CSV). Look at the query viewer for examples on how this is done with existing query results.

Preserve leading zeros in CSV file.

Hello...
I am creating a file on the fly and attaching with email.
emp_no starts with 0001,0002,0003 ...etc.
When file write emp_no to csv file...i looses leading
zeros...what is best solution to preserve zeros?.
In excel file creation, i am using
style="mso-number-format:0000;" to preserve leading zeros.
But by using cffile, i am not able to use style.....Is there
any other way to preserve leading zeros?
<cffile action="write" file="#dirname#/emp_mon.csv"
output="List of Employees" addnewline="Yes">
<cfoutput query="emp_q">
<cffile action="append" file="#dirname#/#filename#"
output="#emp_no#,#e_name#,#e_address#,#sal#" addnewline="Yes">
</cfoutput>

I'd suspect your CSV is fine, ie. if you open it in WordPad
or NotePad you will see 0002. The problem is with whatever you're
importing it into. Excel? If something else I don't know. If Excel,
your Import spec, saved or on-the-fly needs to say Text on that
field rather than the default General which simply means make a
number (zero-suppressed) whenever possible. Single or Double quotes
(on each field that needs it) are a workaround provided you specify
them as "Text Qualifier", but you don't seem to want to do that, so
Text is the only other method.

Exporting Numbers file with leading zeros as csv file

When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?

"When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?"
Well, the first thing you could do would be to post your question in one of the forums for Numbers.
Click Discussions to get to the Discussions index page, then the section for the version of iWork you're using, then the Numbers forum in that section.
In AppleWorks (which doesn't offer an opportunity to Save as or Export as csv) I'd force the application to see the phone numbers as text by inserting some non-numeric characters into the string of digits.
Examples: 000-123-4567, 000 123 4567
It may also be a function of the application you are using to open the csv file.
When I did a brief test of the suggestion above with Numbers '09, I got this result on opening the file in Text Edit:
,1234567890,num
,123-456-7890,tex
,0123456789,num
,012-345-6789,tex
,0001234567,num
,000-123-4567,tex
Note that both the examples entered as a string of digits only (num) and those entered with inserted hyphens (tex) kept the leading zeroes. Cell format for the column containing the phone numbers was set to Text.

Leading zeros when loading file into BPS

Hi all,
i'm trying to load a flat file into BPS cube via sap GUI according to the indication of the correspondent "How to paper".
As first column i have cost center (10 ch lenght). Usually in the File the leading zeros are not specified and in the paper it's specified to pay extra attention to those zeros.
So the question is:
HAVE i to include leading zeros in the file (for cost center)? Is it a mandatory task?
Thanks in advance.
Fabio

Hi Anand,
Is it possible to load Excel or CSV file into BPS using the standard function module ?
If we use CSV format, then the leading zeros should be wiped out anyway.
I tried both format. None of them working. Is only TXT format allowed ?
Your help is much appreciated.

File rename doesn't add leading zeros to renaming files sequence? And a pat on the back to the LR de

First of all, LR truly rocks. Any Adobe folk reading this, please take this note as a massive pat on the back for your team. There's a lot of childish and naive negativity from people posting in this forum. And I suspect from folk who are not really your key market for this app. I feed my kids by running a photography business and have been shooting digital since the early 90s...ya know...
LR will be looked at as a massive sea change in the development of digital photography. The first time the entire workflow process is truly viable from end to end. What will make LR the ultimate winner in it's field is simply the integration with Photoshop. Aperture, Capture One etc cannot ever beat LR regarding this and so, just like the way that Excel and Word and Powerpoint all work together and everyone uses them, LR will inevitably become the de facto standard way of managing RAW images for pro photographers.
Even with the few bugs (specifically file movingon Mac OS10.4.9) LR has shaved HOURS off our workflow. We shoot around 250 gigs of images a month in our weddings and event business. Now all of our editors use LR. No more Capture One etc for us.
Here's the question - There seems to be no way to add leading zeros to a file rename command. So if you rename a batch of images they appear as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 etc so now when I look at them in Bridge or other apps, they are now sorted 1,10,11, etc
Now let me tell ya this is a pain.
Any comments or comfort that is is a known issue would be appreciated. All we want is a way to have the rename add the leading zeros like most other apps do...
Best to all

PS By the way, I am a HARD *** about shoddy unstable software sold to pro photographers as the "prefect solution" that doesnt work as advertised...I am that guy that the tech support guys at certain companies dread. Yep, I simply expect an app to do what it says, just like the car I buy. I once resorted to sending the CEO of a certain software company an invoice for my time restarting, reinstalling the OS and bug finding another similar app. You can image, I got a personal call...heh...

William-
 
 I just changed a folder of 85 images' names, and typed in 001 as my starting number. While no zeroes were prepended, the pix show up in order both in the Finder and in Bridge CS3.

Leading Zeros in Excel file

Hello,
I am downloading few fields from HR infotypes into Excel sheet, I'm using cl_ABAP_char_utilities=>Horizontal_tab to separate the fields. I'm not getting leading zeros. I have tried with 'DAT', 'CSV' and 'WK1' file formats instead of 'ASC', but the flat file format is changing. I have tried ' ' ' symbol. I am getting leading zeros along with that symbol. Now, I need to remove the symbol. Any suggetions...
Thanks and regards,
PNM Raju

dude,
it's just a regular concatenate statement using a non blank space like the old HTML &nbsp.
It doesn't show properly in the editor here on SDN. Just try it n see if it executes by putting a space there.
I think it would wind up looking something like CONCATENATE ' ' MEAN-EAN11 INTO Z_L_ITAB-EAN11.
If you're on a laptop or a keyboard without the 10key plus on the right, you'll probably have to hold the [[fn]] key down too.
So in ABAP type CONCATENATE '<-- right here put the [[fn]][[ALT]]0160 and you should see it place what looks like a space right there.
Try it

Keeping leading zeroes in flat file

I am loading data from a flat file to a DSO.
One of the columns in the flat file is data type CHAR with a length of two. The data values will be either 01, 02 or 03.
When I load the data, the leading zeroes are dropped. Thus, I see 1, 2 and 3 in my DSO. How can I prevent this happening?

Hi,
Right Click on that column in Excel file and Formate Cells >Custome> Under Type give "00" and then give the values in column like 01 , 02 .... and save as .csv and close it, immediatly load it, DON"T OPEN FILE, because , if you open it will reset to 1, 2... SO again you need to Right click.....and formare cells..
Thanks

Retain Leading Zero in CSV

Hi,
We are exporting the output in CSV format but CSV is not showing leading zeros.
For example - if the value is 0002 then it appears as 2 in CSV.
Is there any method or trick to retain leading zeros.
Although, this can be done through excel macro(after the file is opened) but for that manual intervention is required.
Is there any way to run excel macro through web page ? I mean if we could automate the procedure of running macro.
so that user just clicks on the button "Export to CSV" on web page and he gets the output in Excel with leading zeros retained.
Regards,
Anil

Hi Jeremy,
Although i am building a string in BLS and writing it into a csv file
but I tried to test your statement by simulating with test data
For one column of "VARCHAR2" datatype, the value is '0002'
when i test the query results with text/xml output, the SQLDataType="12"
and the value is 0002
but when i test the query results with text/csv output, the value is 2.

How can I remove the leading zeros on jpg files?

I'm looking for a way to remove the leading zeros on over 1000 jpg files, without changing the remaining digits in the file name. Is there some automated "batch" script?
i.e going from 003405607.jpg to 3405607.jpg

You could write an AppleScript. but it will be easier to get and use a third-party file renaming utility. I use the freeware NameChanger which works quite well.

Leading Spaces in CSV file while sending Email

Hi All,
Iam sending CSV file via email, Iam getting leading space for the first field from column second.
I have used the below code for appending internal table.
Concatenating all the fileds with comma separator and aded 'cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline' at the last.
For first column iam getting correctly, form second column onwards iam getting spaces in front of first field. I have used the FM, SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending the email. Please suggest. thanks.

Hi,
Concatenate cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf before every line/record of the file.
This should resolve the issue.

How to keep leading Zeros in a CSV file

Hi All -
I am trying to keep leading zeros in CSV file. Ex. I need 00001 but not just 1. I tried formatting the cells but not getting saved. Any advise please.
Thanks.

Dear Super Man ,
Try using ALPHA Conversion Routine
ALPHA Conversion Routine
The ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers

How do I add leading zero(s) to exported files' names?

I'm using Lightroom 1.4 on an iMac, with OS X 10.4. When I export a batch of photos, they get numbered automatically. For example, if they're pictures of my dog, I'll specify "Dog" as the name to be used and 1 as the starting number. Lightroom will then export them as "Dog-1.tif" and "Dog-2.tif" and so on.
The problem is that when I then load these files into another application, it thinks that "Dog -1.tif" should be followed by "Dog-11.tif," then "Dog-12.tif," and so on to "Dog-19.tif" and then "Dog-2.tif," "Dog-20.tif," "Dog-21.tif," etc.
One solution to this would be to have them numbered as 01, 02, 03. . . 09, 10, 11, etc. Rather than add those leading zeros to the file names manually, I'd like to have Lightroom put them in when it exports the files, but I can't figure out how to do that. I've tried entering 01 as the starting number in the "Export" dialogue box, but that doesn't do the trick.
Can anybody tell me how to get Lightroom to add a leading zero (or zeros, when I export more than 99 files at a time) to the file names?

>What if I just wanted to name the images 0001, 0002, 0003, etc? Can't seem to figure that out.
In the Filename Template Editor, simply insert the [Sequence # (0001)] token as the only entry in the template field.

Visual Studio Projects Not Showing FileVesion Leading Zeroes in File Properties

I created a simple Visual Studio 2013 windows form application setting the AssemblyInfo.cs file as show below.
// You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers
// by using the '*' as shown below:
// [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0227")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0227")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("0.0.0.0227")]
I built the application and went to the Windows File Explorer and brought up the file properties. What I see is that the product version showing the leading zeros, but the file version field does not show the leading zeros.
It appears to be a bug either with Visual Studio or with Windows. Which one is it and is there a fix?

Hi Sarah,
We can't see the screenshot. Do you mean you use Windows Explorer to browse to the AssemblyInfo.cs file and check the property?
If you change the product version or the file version from the AssemblyInfo.cs file, you need to firstly rebuild the assembly, then if you go to the debug/release folder, check the property of the assembly file, the Details tab will show you the corresponding
changes of these properties. It's the assembly property but not the cs file property.

Deleting leading zeros

Hi Gurus,
I want to remove the leading Zeros from the Customer ID and while transferring the values in BPC, I want to prefix the value (after removing the zeros) with 'CC_'. eg: 000012345 so I want to transfer that as 'C_12345'.
In transformation file, I had done the mapping as
ID=*str(C_)+ID
which works fine, if I dont have to remove the zeros but i want to remove zeros and concatenate "CC_"
Thanks in advance
Ram

Hi Ram,
Try this.
In Transformation file,
ID=*str(CC_~)+ID
It will concatenate your prefix, 'CC_', with an additional symbol '~', which is later used while removing the leading zeros in Conversion File.
Conversion File:
js=%extenal%.split('~0000').join('').split('~000').join('').split('~00').join('').split('~0').join('').split('~'),join('')
The above code in Conversion File, it will remove the leading zeros anywhere the count of zeros is in between 0 to 4. You can add as many number of Zeros that you want. So, if your ID is prefixing 000 and other ID is prefixing 00, it will remove the respective zeros, without removing the main concatenation or part of the ID.
Hope this solution helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek
