Match a data string in each record of two text files

What is the easiest way to match a string of characters in each record of File1.txt with the same string in File2.txt and write out those records that match from File1.txt to File3.txt? I don't want to buy an expensive application and I don't want to write a script from scratch.
Thanks

Take a look at the diff utility in the Terminal. A google search for it should provide enough info on how to use it. Basic is diff file1 file2
Or, type "info diff" in the command line.
Oops. I read too much into your request and got it backwards. Seems grep or awk would work for what you want.

Data from itab to be store in text file in desktop

hi
i am tyring to store the data from itab into a text file in desktop,but its now owrking.
i am using open dataset statment,but no where data is storing.My code:
TYPES : BEGIN OF ST_DEMO,
REG_NO(10) TYPE C,
NAME(20)   TYPE C,
ADDR(20)   TYPE C,
END OF ST_DEMO.
DATA : WA_DEMO TYPE ST_DEMO,
IT_DEMO TYPE TABLE OF ST_DEMO,
L_FNAME TYPE dxfile-filename .
PARAMETERS: P_FNAME(128) TYPE C DEFAULT '\usr\sap\put\vipin.txt' OBLIGATORY.
L_FNAME = P_FNAME.
WA_DEMO-REG_NO = '100001'.
WA_DEMO-NAME = 'ANAND'.
WA_DEMO-ADDR = 'NAGARKOVIL'.
APPEND WA_DEMO TO IT_DEMO.
OPEN DATASET L_FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
WRITE :5 'REG NUM',16 'NAME',37 'ADDRESS' .
LOOP AT IT_DEMO INTO WA_DEMO.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    TRANSFER WA_DEMO TO L_FNAME.
    WRITE :/5 WA_DEMO-REG_NO,16 WA_DEMO-NAME,37 WA_DEMO-ADDR.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
close DATASET L_FNAME.
please tell me where is the prob?I wan to schedule it for background job.

i know of line.split() but not actually sure how i would go about using it
Any help most appreciated

Recording data at particular iterations and writing to text file

Hi all,
this is my first time posting on the NI boards. I'm running into a couple problems I can't seem to figure out how to fix.
I'm collecting data using a LabJack U3-HV daq. I've taken one of the out-of-the-box streaming functions that comes with the LabJack and modified it for my purposes. I am attempting to simply save the recorded data to a text file in columns, one for each of my 4 analog strain gauge inputs, and one for time. For some reason when the 'write to measurement file.vi' executes it is puts everything in rows, and the data is unintelligible.
The 2nd issue I am facing, which is not currently visible in my vi, is that I am running my test for 60,000 cycles, which generates a ton of data. I'm measuring creep/fatigue with my strain gages so I don't need data for every cycle, probably for the first 1000, then the 2k, 4k, 6k, 8k, 10k, 20k, etc. More of an exponential curve. I tried using some max/min functions and then matching the 'write to measurement file.vi' with a case structure that only permitted it to write for particular iterations, but can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey carfreak,
I've attached a screenshot that shows three different ways of trying to keep track of incrementing data and/or time in a while loop. The top loop just shows a program that demonstrates how shift registers can be used to transfer data between loops. This code just writes the iteration value to the array using the Build Array function.
The first loop counts iterations in an extremely round-about way... the second shows that really you can just build the array directly using the iteration count (the blue "i" in the while loop is just an iteration counter).
The final loop shows how you can use a time stamp to actually keep track of the relative time when a loop executes.
Please note that these three should not actually be implemented together in one VI. I just built them in one BD for simplicity's sake for the screenshot. As described above, the producer-consumer architecture should be used when running parallel loops.
Does that answer your question?

How to trigger data recording to a text file for multiple channels for a certain voltage threshold?

I am working with 6 channels, from each of which I am obtaining voltage values ranging from 0.6-6 V. I am using the DAQ Assistant to acquire and write the data to a text file. However, I only want the data to be written to the text file when the difference in voltage (DeltaV) from one data point to another is greater than or equal to 0.04 V. I am acquiring the data at a sampling rate of 64 Hz. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I have attached my current VI.

Your code does not do what you describe above..
I just want to make sure I understand your request...
Let's say you have the following signal:
0.00
0.01
0.00
0.03
0.02
0.01
0.03
0.04
0.07
0.05
0.08
0.03 < delta greater than 0.04, so start recording
0.11
0.21
0.45
0.93
2.87
5.85
5.86 < delta less than 0.04, so stop recording
5.87
5.89
6.00 < delta greater than 0.04, so start recording
5.85
5.86 < delta less than 0.04, so stop recording
etc..
Is the above what you are describing?
Right now, your code does this:
0.00
0.01
0.00
0.03
0.02
0.01
0.03
0.04
0.07
0.05
0.08
0.03
0.11
0.21
0.45
0.93
2.87 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.85 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.86 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.87 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.89 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
6.00 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.85 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
5.86 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
4.35 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
2.21 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
1.09 < threshold greater than 1 so reset timer
0.98
However, you did not provide a set start time to the Elapse Time (I never use Express VI's so I'm not sure what will happen..) However, something does not appear correct with the logic. I'd have to check.

To create 5 different files in target for each record in the sender file

Hi SapAll,
i have got a a requirement where pi need to create 5 different files with data of each record from the sender side.
Its an file to file scenario
suppose there are 5 rows in a file , then in target side i need to create 5 diff with each one record in it.
Can we do it without using 3 comm channels
Thanks&regards,
Sai

Hey,
As a more generic solution, can you try using MultiMapping. It is supposed to generate multiple instances of messages on receiver side.
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
You just need to put a simple logic in Message Mapping to generate new Node for every occurence of source field.
Thanks

Create single message in receiving side for each record in the sender file

Dear Experts,
My Interface is from FILE to MQ (JMS)..
I have a specific requirement in my project, I have multiple files in sender directory ( /tmp)
Ex: FILE_20090202.TXT
FILE_20090203.TXT
FILE_20090204.TXT
FILE_20090205.TXT
And each file has couple of records just shown below:
ABC   123     WER    SER
BCD   345     WEDR    SER
CDE   567     GHTE   DDGG u2026. Etc..
I have to process all the files at a time ( may be I can use file masking by FILE*.txt) , one message has to be created in MQ for each record of the file..
Ex:
Message 1: ABC   123     WER    SER
Message 2: BCD   345     WEDR    SER
Message 3: CDE   567     GHTE   DDGG
Valuable inputs are appiciated !!
Cheers,
Kumar

As already suggested, multi-mapping can be used
You need to set target root node occurrence to unbounded and map root node accordingly
you will have to use enhanced interface determinaion

I have searched this forum looking for a procedure that will write records from my database into certain col (positions) in a text file. Example:
1234 TONY TEST 84889922 Y 34 TORCHCOMP 34
5678 BOB JOHNS 43534534 N 56 SAFDWEERE 65
I am thinking I would like to setup variaables like:
Consumer_ID = Consumer(position 1,5)
Name = name(position 10,20)
Invoice_No = Invoice(position 30,40)
etc.
Any input will be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Hi,
That's a formatting issue.
Formatting is best done in the front end. For example, using SQL*Plus:
COLUMN     consumer_id     FORMAT 9999     HEADING     c_id
COLUMN     filler_6_9     FORMAT A4     HEADING     " "
COLUMN     name          FORMAT A11
COLUMN     filler_21_29     FORMAT A9     HEADING     " "
COLUMN     invoice_no     FORMAT 9999999999
SET     COLSEP          ""
SET     PAGESIZE     9999
SPOOL     x.dat
SELECT     consumer_id
,     ' '          AS filler_6_9
,     name
,     ' '          AS filler_21_29
,     invoice_no
FROM     table_x;
SPOOL     OFFIf you have to do it in the back end, use functions like TO_CHAR and RPAD to make each part exactly the right length, then concatenate them all into one big string:
SET     PAGESIZE     0
SPOOL     x.dat
SELECT     TO_CHAR ( consumer_id
          , 'fm99999'
          )          -- 1-5
||     '    '               -- 6-9
||     RPAD ( name
          , 11
          )               -- 10-20
||     '         '          -- 21-29
||     TO_CHAR ( invoice_no
          , 'fm9999999999'
          )          -- 30-40
FROM     table_x;

How to update and delete records in a text file?

Hi,
I had a text file in which contains records line by line with ',' as delimiter as I use stringtokenizer and vector to read the data.
The format in the text file likes: Name, Sex, Age.
I want to add 2 functions:
(1) update the record by name, sex or age;
(2) delete the whole line of record;
Do I need to open a temp text file to do it?
And, what is the algorithm can be suggested?
For both of them, I want to firstly read the total line numbers. Then, the line number + Name, Sex, Age will be displayed on the console window. User can choose which line of record to update or delete.
Or, user can search name in order to do that.
But, what is the backend algorithm to handle it? If I have 10 lines of record, I want to delete 7th line, the 7th line of the text file will be blanked. How can I move 8th, 9th and 10th lines of records up by one line in order to fill the blank line?
Do I need to copy the first 6 lines to a temp text file and copy the last 3 lines of records to the same temp file first? and then copy all the content of that temp file back to the original text file? If so, how can I copy the same format of the original file (with '\n') to the temp file? I need the same data structure likes Name, Sex, Age.
However, when I add records, I need to append the text in the original text file, not override it's current content.
Any advice?
Thanks

If your file is not designed to be amazingly large, then you don't need to use a temporary file -- you can just read the data into memory and manipulate it there. (Like, into a Document object or something.)
But if you are dealing with really large files, you might want to consider using a database back end instead of a text file, which is a completely different approach I know but... well, that's why databases were invented.

Java write/append to each line of a text file

I have spent numerous hours trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. If anyone more experienced could tell me what is wrong with my code.
I have a very simple text file with 5 lines:
line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
All I am trying to do is append some string to the end of each of those lines. Everytime I run my code, it erases all content but does not write/append anything to the file. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! I am about to throw this monitor out the window!!
package Chapter6;
import java.io.*;
public class fileNavigation2 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          File dir = new File("C:\\testing");
          System.out.println(dir.isDirectory());
          try {
               File file = new File(dir, "Test.txt");
               FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
               FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
               BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
               String s = "Add1,";
               String s2 = "Add2\n";
               String str;
               while((str = br.readLine()) != null) {
               StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(str);
               sb.append(s + s2);
               String y = sb.toString();
               System.out.println(sb);
               System.out.println("Appending");
               bw.write(y);
               bw.close();
               System.out.println("Done");
          }catch(IOException e) {}
}

First, thanks a lot for your feedback. The code makes a lot of sense but it does not update the content of my Test.txt file.
I only edited the line of code that creates the new file so that it could find the location of the file.
Scanner file = new Scanner(new File("C:\\testing",fileName));==============================
The code now looks like:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
    static void appendTo(String fileName, String[] newLines) throws IOException {
        List<String> allLines = getLinesFrom(fileName);
        for(String line : newLines) {
            allLines.add(line);
        writeLinesTo(fileName, allLines);
    static List<String> getLinesFrom(String fileName) throws IOException {
        List<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner file = new Scanner(new File("C:\\testing",fileName));
        while(file.hasNextLine()) {
            lines.add(file.nextLine());
        file.close();
        System.out.println(lines);
        return lines;
    static void writeLinesTo(String fileName, List<String> lines) throws IOException {
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
        for(String line : lines) {
            out.write(line);
            out.write(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        out.close();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "Test.txt";
        String[] extraLines = {
                "a new line",
                "and yet another new line"
        try {
            appendTo(fileName, extraLines);
            System.out.println("Done.");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
}Again, thanks for the help.

Program to read only specific words in each Line in a text file

Hi
I have a question
I need to write a program where the program must read only specific words in each line
I will give you an example...
PSAPPSRV.21201 1-42 13.35.54 238.360 Cur#1.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT VERSION FROM PSVERSION WHERE OBJECTTYPENAME = 'SYS'
PSAPPSRV.21201 1-43 13.35.54 0.040 Cur#2.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT STYLESHEETNAME FROM PSOPTIONS
These are two lines in my text file...now I need to read only the SQL statements present that is both SELECT statements.. Can you please suggest a method.......

My first reaction to the question is why would you want such thing, but may be I am unknown :)
Assuming you have the text as string, I mean
String str = "PSAPPSRV.21201 1-42 13.35.54 238.360 Cur#1.HDEV RC=0 Dur=0.000 COM Stmt=SELECT VERSION FROM PSVERSION WHERE OBJECTTYPENAME = \'SYS\'";you can obtain the sql statement using substring method like
String result = str.substring(str.indexOf("SELECT")); Again I assume there is no word SELECT preceding and the word SELECT is all caps.

Select first word in each line of a text file to do something.

How do I select the first word in each line to do something newer from a text file in Powershell?
Example:
GBL Primary File
local Primary File
localhost Primary File
Opstest Primary File
TrustAnchors Primary File
99upgrade

Hi 99,
here's an example on how to do it:
$lines = Get-Content "C:\ExampleFolder\Example.txt"
foreach ($line in $lines)
Write-Host ($line.Split(" "))[0]
Just replace the Write-Host line in the loop with what you actually want to do with the first word in the line.
Cheers,
Fred
