Merging of two text files

HI All,,
I have a text file A with four fields and text file B with two fields. I wanted to club these two text files to a single text file with certain condition and that to be uploaded to a standard table through BDC.
am I clear??
Please suggest me how can I proceed for this.
thanks,
anil.

Hi
If you want to do this using a program
Then use Function Module
GUI_UPLOAD
to load the two text files into two internal tables
say itab1 for one with 4 fields
and itab2 for the one with 2 fields
Then you can join the two tables based on a key between the two into a final internal table with six fields
use the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the internal tab with six fields and you have the final file which you would need to upload for the BDC.
Here also you can use GUI_UPLOAD to load the text file for the BDC program

Compare two text files in Powershell and if a name is found in both files output content from file 2 to a 3rd text file

Is it possible using PowerShell to compare the contents of two text files line by line and if a line is found output that line to a third text file?
Lets say hypothetically someone asks us to search a text file named names1.txt and when a name is found in names1.txt we then pair that with the same name in the second text file called names2.txt
lets say the names shown below are in names1.txt
Bob
Mike
George
Lets say the names and contents shown below are in names2.txt
Lisa
Jordan
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
Don
Joe
Lets say we want names3.txt to contain the data shown below
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
In vbscript I used search and replace commands to get part of the way there like this
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForReading)
strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "Mike ", "Mike 1112222")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close
That script works great when you know the name you are looking for and the correct values. Lets say someone gives you a list of 1000 employees and says import these names into a list in the correct format and one sheet has the correct names only and
the other sheet has lots of extra names say 200000 and you only need the 1000 you are looking for in the format from names2.txt.

Sure,
Here's a simple one:
$names1 = "C:\names1.txt"
$names2 = "C:\names2.txt"
$names3 = "C:\names3.txt"
Get-Content $names1 | ForEach-Object {
$names1_Line = $_
Get-Content $names2 | Where-Object {$_.Contains($names1_Line)} | Out-File -FilePath $names3 -Append
This basically just reads $names1 file, line by line, and then read $names2 file line by line as well.
If the line being evaluated from $names2 file contains the line being evaluated from $names1 file, then the line from $names2 file gets output to $names3 file, appending to what's already there.
This might need a few more tinkering to get it to perform faster etc depending on your requirements. For example:
- If either $names1 or $names2 contain a lot of entries (in the region of hundreds) then it will be faster to load the whole content of $names2 into memory rather than opening the file, reading line by line, closing and then doing the same for every single
line in $names1 (which is how it is currently works)
- Make sure that your comparison is behaving as expected. The .Contains method always does a case sensitive comparison, this might not be what you are after.
- You might want to put a condition to ignore blank lines or lines with spaces, else they'll also be brought over to $names3
Hopefully this will get you started though and ask if you have further questions.

Comparing two text files in a UNIX using shell programming

Hi All,
Sorry for posting a UNIX shell query on Database forums.
I want to compare two text files using shell programming. The two text files are actually Business Objects output extracted in a text format. The two output files are not in a tabular format and are no way similar in looking. I want to take one file e.g. file1 as an input file and compare each line of file1 with the other file e.g. file2. During comparison I want to extract the differences found in another file and if possible the similar data as well.
Below is how the files will look like

As you can see above the file are not at all matching except for one record UHL1, but its just an example. As an output I would like to have a third file containing all these records, highlighting the differences, and a fourth file where in only the matched records should get populated.
Please post any useful scripts related to the above scenario.
Many Thanks.

Merge two text files

Need your help with merging two text source files into single table. Each text file is single column containing names. Let's say that file one is list of members in DEPARTMENT A and second file members of DEPARTMENT B. Text files look
something as follows:
Filename: DEPARTMENT_A
NAME (header)
Steve
Joe
Mary
Filename: DEPARTMENT_B
NAME (header)
Ron
Joe
Susie
Ultimately, I need the resultant table data to look like this:
NAME     DEPARTMENTS
Steve     A
Joe        A, B
Mary      A
Ron        B
etc.
I think the solution involves derived columns, pivot, coalesce, but can't figure out how to put them together. What do you recommend? Thanks.

You need a data flow task
Inside that have two flat file sources connecting to both files. Following that have a derived column task to add department information (A,B). use a union all transform to merge both the inputs and finally use OLEDB destination to dump the result into table
with two columns Name and Department.
Then add a execute sql task to do update as below
UPDATE t
SET Department = Department + ', B'
FROM Table t
WHERE Department = 'A'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM Table
WHERE Name = t.Name
AND Department = 'B'
DELETE t
FROM Table t
WHERE Department = 'B'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM Table
WHERE Name = t.Name
AND Department = 'A, B'

Can I combine two text files into ine with ZEN

I have to append a really long character string onto an existing txt file.
I tried to modify the file in ZEN but the app blows up when it runs. Is
there a way I could concatenate these two txt files together with ZEN
instead?

Another option would be to create two environment variables each holding
1/2 the string. Then use the Text file section to write the two strings
to the one file.

Write to two text files

Hello Everyone,
I would like for my VI to write to two different text files. I have it now where I can write the two different types of data to one text file. When I adjusted it to write to two different files, it makes me open the two files where I would like to save the data but it doesn't record anything.
Thank you,
Corina

Could you please post either an image of your code or the VI itself? I think that it will be easier to tell what is going on with a visual aid. Thanks.

I want to insert two text files in to oracle.

Ex :
text1.txt contains data as
1 a
2 b
3 c
text2.txt contains data as
4 d
5 e
6 f
I want to load both text file into oracle as
1 a 4 d
2 b 5 e
3 c 6 f
for these how to create *.ctl file*

I wouldn't use SQL*Loader for this.
Here's an example based on your simplified example, but it should get you going.
I used an external table, so you can load both files at the same time, by adding the filenames to the location.
By using the PIVOT technique, you can insert the data in the destination table as desired:

Compare two text files

Guys I have two .txt files like the one below
00001
00002
00003
00004
00005
00006
Some elements are missing from one to the other one...
I need to compare these two and find the different elements of each file...
I been reading the old post but I cant figure anything out of them
Any ideas???

Hi Darin,
I am doing more or less same sort of thing but its between the two folder number of files to be compared and then copying the missing files lets say from folder A to folder B. The first part is not a problem to read the content and then compare them but what I am stuck in is that, I want to see while the VI is running that how much data is being copying and how much is remaining my be in percentage on some status bar or may be time or may be out of 55 files 20 files copyied 35 remaining etc. Can you please guide me through this how to do it any idea. It will be great help.

I am find difficulty in combining them to sort string bu string
pls help me in this
thanks

hi
i am implementing the following logic
1) textfile1--------->string to array
2)textfile 2--------->string to array
3) compare the elements (substring) of one array to other using for loop
4)append the match to an array every time you find a match betwwen two arrays
5)wriitng the result in new file
i am strugulling in with 3) i have finshed 1,2,4and 5 th part
problelms are with indexing and loop conditions for me...
anyways i am trying and feeling like i will finish and post that soon....

Comparing contents of two text files

I know that I can copy all contents of the two files into two strings, and then do str1.equals(str2). Any better way to do it?

What kind of comparison do you want to do?
- Exact - the files must have the same size, and have the same bytes, like "fc /b" in Windows
The exact comparison is very easy to do: open the files as FileInputStreams and read both using byte buffers. Compare the byte buffers.
If you can't open both files at the same time (for instance, one of the files is in a diskette and the other file is in another diskette, and you have only one diskette drive) you could try checking the digest of the files (java.security.MessageDigest). If the digest values match, probably the files are equal. If the digest values don't match, certainly the files are different.
- Textual - you want to find differences between the files, and pinpoint them, like the "diff" command in Unix, or the "fc" command in Windows.
Textual comparison is not easy to do (you'll need to keep lists of matching lines, and figure out if some sequence of lines was moved, changed etc.); but you can find the source code for it in several places.

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.

Merge text file with condition

I have two text files (report1.txt and report2.txt) that I want to merge with conditions:
- Matching rows that have same "ID" and same "TranVal", will keep only one instance
- Mismatching rows that have same "ID" both rows from 2 file, but column "TranVal" has different value, then the row from report2.txt will replace row in report1.txt
- Any "ID" that exists in one textfile but not the other one, will be copied to the final merged file
report1.txt:
TranDate,ID,TranVal,Comment
061211,9840,40,done
061211,9841,30,done
061211,9842,28,done
report2.txt:
TranDate,ID,TranVal,Comment
061211,9840,40,done
061211,9841,89,done
061211,9843,25,done
Final result should be:
merge.txt:
TranDate,ID,TranVal,Comment
061211,9840,40,done
061211,9841,89,done
061211,9842,28,done

Hi,
I just checked Import-Csv option. I will be able to manage this problem if i can get it in CSV format and work with objects, BUT the problem is in my real file
the file-format is different which is not comma-separated, instead have "-" as seperator. To simplify the problem i used comma in my question.
TranDate,ID,TranVal,Comment
061211-9840-40-done
Could
you suggest me if there is any way to convert "-" separators to CSV?
