Need to calculate the number of records in an XML file

I need to find out how many records I have in an XML file. The file resides on a unix server and before doing anything with, i need to insert the record count into a separate table. Is there any function or procedure that can achieve this?

does each record start with a new line? if it does a
simple wc -l can help you. If not, you can pre
process this XML file by first removing all the new
line characters using sed and then adding new line
characters after the end tag of the xml using sed and
finally doing a wc -l . this would be a simple shell
script. Not sure if you want to use Unix shell
scripting to achieve this.The sheer nature of XML means that it does not conform to any visual formatting. i.e. An xml file containing...
<employee><empno>3</empno></employee>
is identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>3</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>
3
</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee><empno>
3
</empno></employee>
etc.
You cannot rely on the number of CR's or CR/LF's in the file to count the records. Proper XML processing should be used for such a task.

Hi,
You can use calculated key figure with replacement path variable.
Follow This:
1) From the context menu of the Key Figure directory, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
2) From the context menu for the Formula Variable, choose New Variable.
3) Choose the Processing type as Replacement Path.
4) In the next screen, select the Characteristic Info Object based on which the number of documents is to be displayed in the report (For example: Document Number / Order Number).
5) Choose Next.
In the Replace Variable with drop down box, choose Attribute Value.
In the Attribute drop down, select Characteristic Reference (Constant 1).
6)Choose Next.
On the Save Variable page, an overview of the settings made for the variable will be displayed.
Confirm the entries and Choose Finish.
7) If the Formula variable is directly assigned to the Calculated Key Figure, a warning Calculated Key Figure is not defined correctly will be displayed while executing the Query.
8) Properties of Calculated Key Figure dialog box, assign a Technical name for the CKF.
9) set the Time of Calculation to After Aggregation.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers,

Hi,
In My SAP MDM DataManager I have a table called Location it contains 3 Fields. And Having 10000 Records in that.
When I am trying to make xml file through MDM Syndication Manager it is creating 10000 xml files.
I don't want to that much files and I need all the Records in a Single XML File, how can I do that in MDM Syndication server.
I have changed xsd:element attribute maxoccurs="unbound"
but there is no property like that.
I am using SAP MDM 5.5 with SP 4.
how can I see all my records in single XML file.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashok.

hi,
To syndicate all XML records in single XML file:
follow the steps:
1. u201CIn the Destination Items pane, click on the root ( for product repository - Product).
2. u201CIn the Properties pane, for the Repeatable XML Node field, uncheck its u201CInheritu201D flag and check its flag in the u201CValueu201D column as shown below. This will cause all records to be syndicated into one XML file.u201D
3. In the item mapping tab:

(Repost) CR 8.5 I need to count the number or records 0

- - Crystal Reports 8.5 - -
I have two fields.
Qty Shipped and Qty Backordered.
I want to calculate the percentage of orders shipped.
Something like:
Count ({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyShip}) > 0
Count ({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyBackorder}) > 0
But I know these aren't correct as they return the value of True...
Then I'll take those two fields and calculate the percentage shipped...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks

Try this
if count({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyShip})>0 then
((Count ({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyShip})-Count ({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyBackorder}))/Count ({CIT_PT_RO_Fulfillment;1.QtyShip})*100

How to calculate the number of days worked for a given period

I need to calculate the number of days worked by contractor employees for a time period to be entered by a user. I am building a query on an infoset which contains employee information including contract start date and contract end date for the employee.
Ideally I'd like the user to enter the time period which should be reported on e.g. 01.08.2009 to 31.08.2009
The report should then identify all the contractor employees which were working during this period and to work out how many days they worked during this period. Obviously the contract start and end dates could fall both inside and outside the reporting period.
Can this be done and if so, do you have any suggestions as to how to do it?
Thanks.

hi
So here you will first have to load the master data table employee in one internal table and read this table with the variables entries.
Your code in the reporting exit should look like that.
bye
data : wa_employee type /bi0/pemployee.
When 'ZDATE1'
if i_step = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZDATE2'.
clear l_s_range.
clear wa_employee
1- select the entries from table employees
select single employee dateto datefrom
from /bi0/pemployee
into corresponding fields of wa_employee
where dateto le loc_var_range-low
and datefrom ge loc_var_range-high.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'FIMA_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
   EXPORTING
       i_datum_von = wa_employee-datefrom
       i_kz_ult_von = 'X'
       i_datum_bis = wa_employee-dateto
       i_kz_ult_bis = 'X'
       i_szbmeth    = '1'
   IMPORTING
      e_tage       = no_days.
       l_s_range-low = no_days.
       l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
       l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
endloop.

Count the number of records between two key values (BTREE)

How can I count the number of keys between two values?
I'm using python driver, and BTREE access method.
====>
ideally what I want is to average a whole time-series data set (the intervals can change) to a given number of points. The keys are the time stamps and the values are the data that needs to be averaged. I need to count the number of records between two time stamps so that I can divide that number by the number of points i need, and average the data. What is the best way to do this? Or should I just keep the intervals for the time stamp constant and use RECNO access method?
Thank you
(first post btw.. and why aren't there many people in stackoverflow who answer Berkeley DB questions?)

BDB is an embedded db and it does not have any internal counters or statistics that you could grap to use for this. You will need to do it manually.
You can create a cursor, grap the records you want, each time you get the next record you bump a counter.
If you are using RECNO, you can use a cursor to get the record number of the record (DB_GET_RECNO), and if all you data is in
sequentail records with no missing records you can figure out the total count by take last rec # - initial rec # + 1 to get a total count.
If you switch over to the SQL API, you can issue a SQL query to give you a count. Select count(*) Where .......
Since you have to grab the data anyway, then best may be to count records as you go along.
thanks

Fastest way to count the number of occurences of string in file

I have an application that will process a number of records in a plain text file, and the processing takes a long time. Therefore, I'd like to first calculate the number of records in the file so that I can display a progress dialog to the user (e.g. " 1234 out of 5678 records processed"). The records are separated by the string "//" followed by a newline, so all I need to do to get the number of records is to count the number of times that '//' occurs in the file. What's the quickest way to do this? On a test file of ~1.5 Gb with ~500 000 records, grep manages under 5 seconds, whereas a naive Java approach:
BufferedReader bout = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (sourcefile));
               String ffline = null;
               int lcnt = 0;
               int searchCount = 0;
               while ((ffline = bout.readLine()) != null) {
                    lcnt++;
                    for(int searchIndex=0;searchIndex<ffline.length();) {
                         int index=ffline.indexOf(searchFor,searchIndex);
                         if(index!=-1) {
                              //System.out.println("Line number " + lcnt);
                              searchCount++;
                              searchIndex+=index+searchLength;
                         } else {
                              break;
               }takes about 10 times as long:
martin@martin-laptop:~$ time grep -c '//' Desktop/moresequences.gb
544064
real     0m4.449s
user     0m3.880s
sys     0m0.544s
martin@martin-laptop:~$ time java WordCounter Desktop/moresequences.gb
SearchCount = 544064
real     0m42.719s
user     0m40.843s
sys     0m1.232sI suspect that dealing with the file as a whole, rather than line-by-line, might be quicker, based on previous experience with Perl.

Reading lines is very slow. If your file has single byte character encoding then use something like the KMP algorithm on an BufferedInputStream to find the byte sequence of "//\n".getBytes(). If the file has a multi-byte encoding then use the KMP algorithm on a BufferedReader to find the chars "//\n".getCharacters() .
The basis for this can be found in reply #12 of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=769325&messageID=4386201 .

Count the number of comments in a PDF file automatically?

Hello O Experts,
My documentation team members use Acrobat and Reader 8, and frequently need to count the number of comments in a PDF file. Is it possible to count the number of comments automatically? We can't find this functionality anywhere, and have to resort to manual counting. Since our PDFs can contain thousands of comments, this is very time-consuming. I've tried searching the Web and these forums, but the words "count" and "comments" are too frequent in other contexts to find anything useful...
Thanks and best regards,
--M.T.

Hi again sypark,
That is a great idea, and it works!
I would actually search on a more unique phrase - for instance, "Subject:" - that definitively occurs a single time per comment. The reason is:
There are many types of comments, not just sticky notes... you have highlights, text deletions, text insertions, replacement text, attachments, callouts, and so on. But each of them has a "Subject:" in the summary.
It's best to avoid searching for the comment names because they differ by language (an important issue when you work with colleagues in multiple countries). For example, the name of the "Highlight" comment type in French is "Texte surligné" - so you'd have to search for the latter term to get an accurate count.
In any case, your method is flexible and allows for easy customization of comment counts. Many thanks for your effective help!
Cheers,
--Michael

Count the number of lines in a txt file

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file, but I can't do it using readLine(). This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns null even if it is not the end of the file. thanks for the help

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file,
but I can't do it using readLine(). Then just compare each single byte or char to the newline (code 10).
This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns
null even if it is not the end of the file.Errm what? What do you mean by "double spaced"? Method readLine() should only return null if there's nothing more to read.

How to limit the number of records in WebI Report

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to display the WebI Report data only if the number if record is less than 65k.
Incase if the records are more than 65k then the report should be blank and a text message needs to be displayed.
The client dont want to set the number of records either in universe or at the edit query at the report. They want to limit once the report is executed.
Please let me know if its possible to do it at the report level.
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards

Optional prompts are not a problem.
Assuming you first query uses the following SQL statement
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The query for checking the number of rows should use the following SQL code
select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)
The original query should be modified as follows
select a,b,c from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...) AND (select count(*) from t where x=y and z=@prompt(...)) < 65000

Limit the number of record to download to excel from a report

I am just wondering if there is a way to limit the number of rows that I want to download to excel from a report in apex, right now when I click download to excel it downloads all records. If I am displaying 15 records on report page I want the ability to download only those records.
Any help with that would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sofia.

Sofia,
The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.

How to calculate the number of sent/received emails of a certain domain

Thank you for what you have helped me with!
How to calculate the number of sent/received emails of a certain domain in a certain period? It is Messaging Server 5.2, Directory Server 4.2. Is there a log option for this?
Thank you.

Not sure where you find, "LOG_MESSSAGE_ADD". I don't actually find this option in the documentation.
The domains that mails are coming from and being sent to are certainly logged in the normal mail.log, so why mess with additional logging options? If you're talking about "LOG_CONNECTION", I actually see no additional data that is useful to you.
If you decide to change the option.dat, you do indeed need to
imsimta cnbuild (note, it's not cnrebuild)
imsimta restart
If I were facing the same issue, I'd be looking at the log parsing perl script, and simply modifying it to do what I wanted.

How to get the number of records of a streaming result set

Hi guys.
So if it wasn't a streaming result set, I would have done this:
{noformat}myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.last();
{color:navy}*int*{color} numResults = </code>myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.getRow();
</code>myResultSet<code class="jive-code jive-java">.beforeFirst();
</code>{noformat}
but being a streaming result set, beforeFirst() throws an exception...
So how do you get the number of records in that result set? I wanna avoid an extra count(*) query, so I would appreciate other solutions than that.

If you get an exception, then you surely have a stack trace. That should tell you what happens, or at least where.com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkForOutstandingStreamingData(MysqlIO.java:2066)
Why do you need to know the number of elements beforehand, anyway?I need to know the number of elements because the incoming data goes into a table. Now of course, I could use ArrayList<String[]> or something, but wouldn't that require more memory resources than Object[][] ?
No one can tell you that, at least not without more information (say, the stack trace for example).Here's the exception message:
java.sql.SQLException: Streaming result set com.mysql.jdbc.RowDataDynamic@10c0ef2 is still active. Only one streaming result set may be open and in use per-connection. Ensure that you have called .close() on any active result sets before attempting more queries.
