Loading from text file unable to display certain letters such as w and ?

I downloaded a flash template that includes a text file that it uses to load the content. So, I opened the text file and started to make changes to certain text and when I view the changes I noticed that certain letters and characters are not being displayed such as the letter w and the question mark ? and other letetrs.
I am a newbie to all this, please help
here is an example of the text I included in the text file:
&privacy_title1=Privacy Policy
&privacy_txt1= what information do we collect?

And here is what it shows when I run the flash template:
As you can see the w is missing and the question mark and some other letters.

I am not sure what all that is, I know nothing about flash and that is why I got the template so I can just change the text and get what I want. Can you please tell me exactly how to do what you suggested?
Thank you

Loading from text file using Sql Loader

I need to load data from a text file into Oracle table. The file has long strings of text in the following format:
12342||||||Lots and lots of text with all kinds of characters including
^&*!#%#^@ etc.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyytrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurtgggggggggggggggg.||||||||
45356|||||||||||again lots and lots of text.uuuuuudccccccccccccccccccccd
gyhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllnmmmmmmmmmmmmnaaa|||||||.
There are pipes within the text as well. On the above example, the line starting with 12342 is an entire record that needs to be loaded into a CLOB column. The next record would be the 45356 one. Therefore, all records have a bunch of pipes at the end, so the only way to know where a new record starts is to see where the next number is after all the ending pipes. The only other thing I know is that there are a fixed number of pipes in each record.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can load the data into the table either using sql loader or any other utility? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Loading a text file from a relative location in shockwave

Hi all
I'm REALLY sorry I have to post about such an inane problem.
I've googled this and looked in forums and found several
suggestions but none of them are working for me. I want to load a
text file from the same directory as my movie. I can get this
working in authoring mode, in a projector, and in a shockwave movie
on the local machine (using getNetText("/text.txt")).
But when i put the shockwave movie on a server, it does NOT
work. The macromedia documentation says that getNetText works with
relative URLs. But when I put in the full URL, it does work, so
obviously the shockwave movie is having a problem finding the text
file which IS in the same directory as it.
Any suggestions / ideas? All i want to do is access a text
file :)
Sorry again for such a lame problem
Mike

thanks - this worked. I also had to not use a repeat loop to
wait for netDone() to return true.
Thanks again
MIke

CO-PA load data from text file

Hello
At present, in our company, we load data from Excel files to CO-PA. Is there any way to load those data to CO-PA from text files ?
I will be grateful for any suggestions.

You can create a structure using KEFA, assign the Value fields in KEFB and then use KEFC to upload data against that structure.
You have various file format options, but I don't think Excel is one of them... you have have to save the file as txt and upload.
Play around with those transactions and come back if you need additional help.
Cheers.

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file. I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x. Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.

Read from Text File Detailed Help need Clean-up

This is probably well known and nobody has bothered fixing it but the detailed Help of the "Read from Text File" function is sort of ambiguous:
- statement 1: refnum out is the refnum of the file that the function read. You can wire this output to another file function, depending on what you want to do with the file. The default is to close the file if it is referenced by a file path or selected from the file dialog box. If file is a refnum or if you wire refnum out to another function, LabVIEW assumes that the file is still in use until you close it.
- statement 2: If you wire a path to file, the function opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards.
I have found statement 1 to be correct, which makes statement 2 incomplete (and sort of tautological in the sense that 1) you expect LabVIEW to open the file before reading from it if you provide a path instead of a refnum... and 2) if you use a path input to file AND use the refnum out for some other function, the file is NOT closed, as correctly stated in statement 1).
Just sayin' ...

X,
It deeply concerns me that you would take my response to mean indifference. I certainly had no intention to belittle what you had to say. On the contrary, I took this up with the concerned team, and had a small discussion. If you say that what someone says on this forum is of lesser or no value to National Instruments, you could not be more wrong. It defeats the whole purpose of this public forum.
My point was not that it is not an issue, it certainly seems to be. Please be rest assured that even if it does not look like it from the outside, each comment however big or small is taken back to our workplaces and some thoughts poured over it.
On the whole, I recognise that I had a role to play in this misunderstanding of tone, and I sincerely apologise.
Warm Regards,

How to load a text file?

I'm trying to load a text file and I've run into a wall. So
far, I've loaded swf files, image files and XML files without
problems. But the text files just don't seem to load.
It's not a tough situation. The files are in the same
directory as the application. When I run it, I see no sign that the
file has loaded, but haven't found the error trapping to tell me
what is (not) going on.
The code below was culled from examples on the web, they seem
fairly consistent, and they are copied pretty much exactly. and I
put them both into a single action to test them.
Any clues as to what is not happening? I need to read an old
txt data file that was used with AS2, with pairs of names and
variables. The first example just reads a couple of variables. The
second just reads some random text. I'm just trying to see what
works here, so I can incorporate working code into the real
program.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Joergen,
I put in the changes you suggested and still no sign that the
files are even being opened., but it's very good to have the
feedback. Just the fact that someone is getting them to run gives
me confidence in the basic code. I'll hack on it more and let you
know what the answer turns out to be for me.
Thanks.

How to load a text file int JEditorPane and highlight some words (Urgent !)

I want to load a text file into a JEditorPane and then highlights some keywords such as while,if and else.I am using an EditorKit in order to style the JEditorPane. I have no difficulty while giving the input through the keyboard but lots of exceptions are thrown if i try to load the string from a file.

Hi,
I think the setCharacterAttributes(int offset, int length, AttributeSet s, boolean replace) will solve the problem.
You can create your own Styled Document and set it to the Editor Pane.

Error loading a text file during creation of data load rule

Hi,
I am trying to load this text file but whenever I open File -> Open Data File and then click on the file, it says "Invalid Blank Character in name". I tried changing the name of the file and everything but I do not understand what it really means. Can anyone help me out please? This seems like a simple error but I am unable to figure it out. Thanks.
-- Adi

As Glenn said, there should not be any space in the path that causes the error.For instance if you have ur file in the desktop(C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop), there would be space in between Documents and Settings. To avoid this, you could directly save in your local disk drive(C:\, D:, E:\).

Loading Multiple Text files

Hi! I've got several archived text files - 040107.txt,
040207.txt, 040307.txt, for example - and I want to be able to
build a dynamic link which loads whichever file is selected into
the Flash movie. This list needs to be able to build itself as I
write new files every day and add the old ones to the archive. I'm
stumped. How can I do this?

If you are using XML to load data, then use the CDATA to wrap
the html text.
If you are using LoadVars to load data, be sure you do not
have any & in the text content. If you do convert to hex.
Bottom line is you need to trace the text you load to see
what you are getting.
Flash should show HTML if you have the
TextField.htmll
property set to true which is also done in IDE with "Render Text as
HTML". But you must use the
TextField.htmlText
property to set the text.
Finally malformed HTML in Flash TextFields generally dies
like you describe.
You should be able to test the display of data in dynamic
TextFields with a simple Flash movie containing the TextField and
the text stored in a variable and then loaded into the htmlText
property. If it is not working there then you have to look at the
data.
