Loading External files in Oracle - error (double quotes on columns)

I managed to successfully load some external (Excel ) files in my Oracle database, but when I queried the table, I see that some of the columns have double quotes on them. Any idea how to remedy this problem?

  • Loading csv file trying to replace double quotes

    Hi, I am trying to load a csv file with a field with double qoutes that I want to replace the double qoutes to one. The CSV file I will enter
    "TEST,2345" in a field and when it loads its as ""TEST,2345""
    So I got this code to handle it.
    Pattern quotesRegex = Pattern.compile("\"\"");
              Matcher m = fieldRegex.matcher(line);
              while (m.find()) {
                   String field;
                   if (m.group(1) != null) {
                        // If a quoted string was matched replace escaped double quote,
                        // "" with "
                        field = quotesRegex.matcher(m.group(1)).replaceAll("\"");
    else {
                        field = m.group(2);
                   fields.add(field.trim());
    I want to change a line like this
    D,,""TEST,2345"",46,,
    to
    D,,"TEST,2345",46,,
    but afterwards nothing has changed the record looks as below
    D,,""TEST,2345"",46,,
    Whats wrong with this?
    thanks

    I simply created a simple csv file with one field that I entered a double qoute of "TEST,2345"
    Later when reading in the file(using the code I pasted in) I can inspect it and its """TEST,2345"""
    The relaceAll doesnt seem to change anything(nor did my code). So I was stumped. thanks

  • FAQ: SWF's and loading external files in Flash Catalyst

    How do I make the images in my Flash Catalyst project external to the published SWF?
    You can choose whether images are embedded in your Flash Catalyst SWF, or loaded dynamically; this can help to keep your SWF's small. Simply right-click an image and chose "Externalize Image".
    Answered by: Adam Cath.
    See entire discussion.
    How do I make the SWF I imported to Flash Catalyst load external files?
    When importing a SWF, Flash Catalyst only pulls the SWF asset into your project. Many SWF's, such as slideshows and media players, rely on external data files, such as configuration files or media assets. If you would like to use such a SWF in Catalyst, then you will have to place these external resources into your Catalyst project as well as importing the SWF.
    Let's assume you have a SWF source folder that contains your SWF file and all of the external files it needs. You can open the SWF file from this folder and it works fine. But, if you import the SWF into Catalyst, the Catalyst project doesn't display it correctly because it can't load the external files. Here's what you do:
    1. Open your swf source folder, and copy all of the files/folders there except the SWF you imported.
    2. In Catalyst, Run/Preview your project (Ctl/Cmd-Enter)
    2. Note the file path to Main.html in your browser
    3. In your OS, open the folder that contains /bin-debug/Main.html from above
    4. Open the "src" folder
    5. Paste all of the files from step 1 into the src folder.
    6. Catalyst won't pick up that your project changed, so tweak it a bit (add a Rectangle), and save it.
    7. Run your project. If it doesn't work, try closing and reopening your project and running again.
    For an example, check out: Using an XML-driven SWF in Catalyst to create a slideshow.
    See entire discussion.

    You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
    The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
    Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
    For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
    For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
    Here is an example swf_control

  • Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

    Hi All,
    Oracle 9i
    I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
    Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
    Does anyone has any solution for the same.
    Umesh Goel

    Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
    but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
    then I think filler will not work
    If yes then plz let me know.

  • How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
    So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
    Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
    Thanks in advanced!
    Jane

    Thanks Tony for your quick response!
    We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
    I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
    Example Data File: loader2.dat
    This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
    Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
    Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
    But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
    for example:
    ,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
    Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
    I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
    then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
    1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
    but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
    Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
    Thanks!

  • MAPPING FLAT FILE TO ORACLE ERROR!! Please help

    hello all
    I am using OWB on Oracle9i.
    Trying to map flat file (file.txt) to oracle table,
    Validate: okey, some warning
    Generate/Deploy: successful.
    But when I check to the database sqlplus there is no rows existed. I verify that I connect to the right database.
    My question is:
    When doing a map from flat file to oracle table. Do I have to have some thing in the middle such as (filter, join) or I just can do a straight mapping if I don't have any condition to filter out.
    Please response if you know the answer.
    Your answer greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help
    Regards,

    If you are using an OWB version which is 9.0.3.x or earlier, to load a flat file into the database, you should generate SQL loader files and run them either manually or by using a scheduler.
    The new version (9.0.4) supports external tables, so you don't have to use SQL loader. Please refer to the user manual for more details.
    Regards:

  • Loading External Files From SWF Root

    Hi All,
    I do not know anything about flash.  I have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing.  These flash movies load an external xml file.
    This is failing.
    The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.
    For example, say my website is www.mywebsite.com/mysite.jsp and I have stored the flash in a directory similar to /mywebsite.com/flash/movie1/movie1.swf.
    When the movie goes to play, I am getting a 404 error in firebug because the flash movie is trying to load the external xml from /mywebsite.com/file.xml instead of /mywebsite.com/flash/movie1/file.xml.
    How can this be corrected?  Is there a way for the flash application to use the .swf root directory instead of the .jsp file root directory?
    I hope this made sense.  Good chance it doesn't. 

    When you load the Flash file into a web page, the web page becomes its frame of reference for loading other content.  So to fix this situation you should either relocate things to where the Flash file lives in the same directory as the web page that loads it, or retarget the files that the Flash file is loading as if it were in the web page's folder (using absolute paths should guarantee correct targeting).

  • Loading external swf and object error

    Hello Forum,
    I have two swf files, Flash CS3, action script 3.
    One file can be considered to be the parent container, it
    does have some objects on its stage.
    The other file is a file that I would like to load into the
    master file using the Loader object.
    The file that I would like to load, works fine (or so it
    seems) standalone. This file contains
    a timer object, a loader object (which loads images from an
    xml file), and XMLLoader feature,
    and a button that I have created from a class that i have
    created for a button. I can set the
    label for the button from the swf like a property. This swf
    is all Actionscript, using
    addchild to get the various things on the stage.
    I am using actionscript to load the objects on the stage in
    the external file - as opposed to having
    them on the timeline before hand.
    When I try to load this external swf file in to a parent swf
    file I get an error like this:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    at weekly_tasks_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
    This error happens whenever (in the external swf file) i add
    an object
    (like a button or a textfield) to the stage of the exteranl
    swf file.
    I am able to load other swf files ok (as long as I did not
    create them!).
    Confused Again,
    eholz1

    I sat typing into the quick reply, but this isn't sorry.
    The issue here is that when you roll over another object
    within the application it assumes that you have moved out of the
    current object even if the new object is within the container of
    the current object.
    Hope that makes sense upto now. I had the same problem and
    had to do this...
    On mouse Over pr Rollover on internal object I run the stop
    propogation and then restart the mouse over of the parent
    container.
    private function stopGadget(e:MouseEvent):void
    // Stops the current mouse over running the parent container
    mouse over. Then reloads the parent container for the gadget bar
    (BIT OF A HACK)
    e.stopPropagation();
    Application.application.showTheGadget(e);
    I think my comment sums it up a BIT of a Hack.

  • Load XML file to Oracle 10G XE

    The load xml wizard in Oracle XE asks for a table in the HR schema to load into.
    Well I create one using the 'Create Table' procedure with a script that runs and creates the table. Now I have a XML file that matches the table I created and try to load the file contents into the table. I get an error. Am I surprised? no, I am not. Nothing works the first time.
    Is there a preferred format for the xml file that supports loading into a table?
    There appears to be no help file, but then I may be mistaken.
    Could someone show me where to find this help file?

If this is the case try removing the minLength, maxLength as they are redundant, which is probably why we didn't catch this one in internal testing, it sort of falls into the "if it hurts please don't do it" category :). Also the fix for this bug appears to have been backported on top of 9.2.0.6.0 so upgrading to 9.2.0.7.0 or 9.2.0.8.0 or the later releases of 10.1 or 10.2 should fix the problem.
