May ID isolate tables from plain text in a file?

In a big Word file it seems necessary to isolate the tables from the rest of paragraphs.
Unfortunately the body style applied to both is the same style.
Have tables some formatting element to get only them?

Yes, a new thread...
Just we have a huge file with text and tables and need to place the tables at the end of the book. Just the tables. Plain text at the beginning.
Import options for text surely allows to place only text (unchecking graphs) but it is not an option to place only graphics, as far as we tried in the menu.*
Thank you.
*Furthermore, the Word brings the same style applied to tables and text... Book has to be managed in two parts.

Getting the data into a temporary table may make sense in SQL Server ... but not in Oracle.

How to copy a table from one text frame to another...

Is there a way to copy a table from one text frame to another? I'm using JavaScript. The following will move a table from one text frame to another, but I need to copy.
var srcFrame = document.textFrames.item("section-template");
var dstFrame = document.textFrames.item("test");
srcFrame.characters[0].move(LocationOptions.before, dstFrame.insertionPoints[0]);
Thanks,

Hi Bhupinder,
According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.

Plain text ASCII format file

This may be slightly off-topic, but I'm hoping maybe someone knows the answer:
I received a license for the Messiah animation suite as part of a one-time offer, and it says to paste the License text "into a text file... (this file must be a plain text ASCII format file, NOT Rich Text or doc)."
I have Microsoft Office 2008. It has a Plain Text (.txt) format, but googling there seems to be some uncertainty if in Mac it is plain text ASCII format. The TextEdit app I'm not sure of either I'm pretty sure isn't.
Anyone got a solution?
Thanks!

The problem is whether that version of .txt or the MS Office 2008 is actually ASCII format or unicode.
I don't think that is the issue, since ascii and unicode are identical for the usual 26 letters and 10 digits that are probably in the license text. The point is that it be .txt and not .doc or .rtf or .html, which has all kinds of other junk added to the real content. I would use TextEdit set to Plain text.

Generating html links from plain text

How can I scan a text (a String) and add links when a word is an URL?
I tried the following which works but it's too slow:
String text = rs.getString("text");
                text2scan=text.split("[\n ]")
                for(int i = 0; i < text2scan.length; i++){
                    String replacement = null;
                    String word = text2scan;
log.info(word);
if(word.indexOf(".com")!=-1){
replacement="<a href=\""+word+"\">"+word+"</a>";
text=text.replaceAll(word, replacement);
text=text.replaceAll("www","http://www");
text=text.replaceAll("http://http://","http://");
text=text.replaceAll(">http://",">");
Isn't this already implemented somewhere?
Thanks
Niklas

Because I was semi interested by this issue, and how best to solve it, heres a quick and dirty example program.
It does a very basic job, but should be pretty much equivalent to what you had originally.

And a test file makeHyperlinkTest.txt
This file just contains plain text with hyperlinks to places like www.google.com and http://www.yahoo.com.
The program I have written will convert these links like www.google.com into hyperlinks for displaying as html.
Make sure you visit http://www.java.sun.com and read all about Java.
And if I already have an <a href="www.google.com">Hyperlink</a> in this file it should leave it alone right?

Loading table from Access, Excel or CSV file

Hi,
I would like to know the mechanism of loading a table from an external source such as Access table, Excel sheet, text file containing comma/tab delimited values.
Can you please indicate me the basic steps to prepare the extraction of the source data and next how to load this data into a target Oracle table?
Thanks very much in advance.

If you are using a windows based Oracle server you can locate your files on the server and set them up as external databases using Oracles Heterogeneous Services (HS)... e.g. with Excel workbook...
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP
With MS Access you are already dealing with a database so the structure is not a problem. If you treat Excel workbooks as a database then they have to conform to a certain layout e.g. each worksheet is in effect a table with the name of the table taken from the worksheet name (be aware that Excel allows 32 characters for sheet names, but Oracle requires no more than 30), on each sheet the first row must contain the column names and all subsequent rows contain the data.

Password displayed in plain text in sql file

Hi all,
I have a shell script that calls another sql file to connect to the database and do some queries. The username and password used to connect to the databse are in plain text in the sql file. My question is how can I hide these parameters in the sql file and be able to connect to the database.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle have something to do such thing : Secure External Password Store
Laurent Schneider posted an example of usage on his blog : sqlnet.wallet_override=true
Or you have an external tool : Oracle Password Repository which seems easy to use.

Convert an internal table from ABAP to an xml file on the Unix server

You can combine the code given by Mahalakshmi with something like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

        parameter_1      = l_file_name_xml

    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      TRY.
        OPEN DATASET l_file_server FOR OUTPUT. "<IN TEXT MODE> <ENCODING DEFAULT>.
      ENDTRY.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
      LOOP AT lt_xml INTO ls_xml.
        TRANSFER ls_xml TO l_file_server.
      ENDLOOP.
      CLOSE DATASET l_file_server.

You need to have the server path defined (look at the paths with tcode AL11) and the file logical name with tcode FILE

How do create an analog signal from a text or binary file?

I'm trying to output an analog signal from a file on an NI-DAQ 6251 card using labview 8.5. I've found the examples on building a waveform, but I'm stuck at how to read a text file and make a 1-D array to input my amplitudes into the buildwaveform.vi and I can't find any information on how to do so. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If all that you want in the file is the Y values, then a text file with a value on each line could be read. The Read From Spreadsheet File can be used. It will return a 2D that you can then use the index array function to get a column or if you select Transpose, the returned 1D array would be used.
If you want to create an example, use a 1D array constant in a VI and pass it to the Write to Spreadsheet File.

Update the z table from the header text of VF01 on save

Hi All,
I have a Z table 'ZEXIM_LICDETAILS'. Whenever a billing doc. of type 'ZEXP' is created with tcode VF01, the Z table fields should also be updated. I have learned that we cannot include tabs in Billing Doc, so the licence number is put in the header text of the VF01.
Is there any way that I can update my Z table from header text, when we save the VF01.
Waiting for your repy in anticipation.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Anu
