Place multiple text files

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but often, when I want to place multiple Word files, it places the same text.
Even just now, I changed my preferences to link to the files so I can see the name of the file I was placing in the Links palette, and if I look at articles 35 and 37 for example, the link is to the right file but the text imported is exactly the same (text from article 35). Even article 39 has the text from 35. But others are fine and have the right text imported.
A while ago when I first experienced this, I realised that if I checked Show import options in the Place dialog box, it would actually import all the different texts, but it didn't seem to work this time. Maybe I clicked OK too fast at each of the Import options dialog boxes (quite annoying actually, I just don't see why it has to come up for every file, once is enough).
Any idea how to fix this?
The place multiple feature is great, but only if it works correctly.

A shortcut to perhaps the prolem is to go "around" the live-edit workflow and just focus on the .indd file.

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

Scheduling multiple tab BO XI3 report needs to save into multiple text file

Hi,
I have BO XI 3 Desktop Intelligence reports, those reports contains multiple tabs. Once after scheduling these reports the output needs to save as different text files (each tab as separate text file). Generally when select output as text file we will get the text file with the data of current tab, but in this scenario I want all the tabs data into different text files. I guess we can do this with macro. But I am not good in macro development, hope somebody can help me.
Could you please help out for the same!
Thanks,
Rama

Thanks Dan.. I made chenges in code as per your suggestion.. its working fine in DeskI -> local PC
But this is not working in InfoView level... when i scheduled the same report its not saving into multiple text files... can you please have look...
macro code as follows:-
Public Sub SaveAsText()
Dim StrTxtPath As String
Dim BusDoc As busobj.Document
Set BusDoc = ThisDocument
Dim BusRep As Report
Dim I As Integer
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
'StrTxtPath = "
xxxx.xxx.xxx.com\common\Reporting\"
StrTxtPath = "D:\Business Objects\Test_Macro\"
For I = 1 To BusDoc.Reports.Count
Set BusRep = BusDoc.Reports.Item(I)
BusRep.ExportAsText (StrTxtPath & BusRep.Name)
Next I
ErrHandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub
When i run this macro through DeskI.. its saving the report as multiple .txt files with respective number of tabs... but the same thing is not working when i tried in scheduling...
Can you please suggest me what are the changes needs to be done...
Thanks in Advance
Thanks,

Place multiple PDF files (or a folder of PDF files) into one InDesign document

Hi,
I know there are several scripts to place multipage Pdf's in InDesign.
Based on those scripts I made one myself which places a PDF file with multiple pages as an InLine graphic where the name of the PDF file is inserted as a heading.
Works great. But when I want to import 20 PDF files I have to run that script 20 times which isn't handy.
So I'm looking for a way to choose a folder in which are several PDF-files that will be placed inside 1 ID doc.
Any suggestions?

Use .selectDlg():
function getPDFs(){
    var f = someFolder.selectDlg ('Select a folder')
    if (f != null){
        return f.getFiles('*.pdf');
    return [];

Use splitter to create multiple text file

Hello I have one view as source and would like to create multiple target text files based on different condition. What I am doing is that I am using SPLITTER which contain one INGRP1 and three OUTGRP( nameley TR1, TR2 and TR3) and one default REMAINING_ROWS ( what is the purpose of the REMAINING_ROWS?). So I mapped view to INGRP1 of the splitter and then added the different SPLITT condition in the condition wizard, for example :
for TR1
COMMISSION_TYPE='P' and
rownum <= 65000
for TR2
COMMISSION_TYPE='P' and
rownum > 65000
and for TR3
COMMISSION_TYPE='A'
After this since I have to create 3 comma delimted text files, I have used 3 expression for each individual splitt condition. In the expression what I am doing is that I am just concating all the fileds and then output of each expression goes to three different text files.
When I am deploying the mapping, it is coming up several errors such as :
1): PLS-00201: identifier 'COMMISSION_TYPE' must be declared
(2): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
(3): PLS-00201: identifier 'COMMISSION_TYPE' must be declared

Why I am getting these errors, why OWB generated code could not identify COMMISSION_TYPE filed?
Please help me.

I am really very very sorry, its my fault. I was not mapping COMMISSION_TYPE from view to splitter.

How do I create multiple text files from a list in another file?

I have a text file with data in it:

I can't work ou how to do this, any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi mate, thanks for the suggestion. I saw that section in the user guide - but it is only for copying from one library to another - I want to copy from an FCP library to a file structure OUTSIDE FCP. I have had problems with FCP losing media when copying to another library so I just want the files in the Finder where I can see them...

Write data to multiple text files after specific size

Hello,
I wrote a code that contineously writes data to a text file. The problem is I am running this VI for long time and therefore this text file is being bigger in size e.g. more than 10MB. I want to split writing data in this text file after max 1MB size. Can anyone help ????
thanks in advance.

CMW.. wrote:
You could use the "File/Directory Info Function" in the Advanced File VIs and Function palette to check the size. If the file is too big. close it and create a new one.
I would use the Get File Position since this won't cause Windows to have to do so much. Assuming you are just writing and not setting the file position manually, this will return the size of the file in bytes (file position will always be at the end of the file).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Looping Multiple Text files in SSIS

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have 100 text files having one row each in it. Now i need to load Each row of data into a SQL table using SSIS and i dont want to stop the package even though it fails for any reason ( like inapporiate Data something like
that ). How can i configure the SSIS package with error handling.. Please guide me on this..!
Thanking you in advance..!
Balaji - BI Developer

If you have pre-2014 SSIS, you have to loop through all the files in a folder.

http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2874/loop-through-flat-files-in-sql-server-integration-services/
Now, in 2014, you can do this same thing, and do it even easier than what's mentioned in the links above.

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.

Load multiple text files

Hey!
Does anybody can help me to make an Excel VBA macro code in order to import data from text files into one Excel spread sheet? I want to create User Form with dropdown list where user can select start and end date of interest and macro code
will import bunch of text files depending on user demands... I am thinking to omit time tail (meaning that user can only specify date and I will add filename tail in macro code).
My text files are named: 20130619004948DataLog.txt (meaning: yyyy mm dd hh mm ss). Text file contains recordings for each 15 seconds... It would be great to omit time tail (meaning that user can only specify date) and make additional macro to add the time
tail to the file name, since it does not change from day to day. Text files for one day of interest (I have text files covering whole year):
20130619004948DataLog.txt
20130619014948DataLog.txt
20130619024948DataLog.txt

I am pretty sure this same question was asked about 2 weeks ago, and that one never got an answer. How about this?
Sub Read_Text_Files()
Dim sPath As String
Dim oPath, oFile, oFSO As Object
Dim r, iRow As Long
Dim wbImportFile As Workbook
Dim wsDestination As Worksheet
'Files location
sPath = "C:\Test\"
Set wsDestination = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
r = 8
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oPath = oFSO.GetFolder(sPath)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each oFile In oPath.Files
If LCase(Right(oFile.Name, 4)) = ".txt" Then
'open file to impor
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=oFile.Path, Origin:=65001, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, FieldInfo:=Array(1, 1), _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Set wbImportFile = ActiveWorkbook
For iRow = 1 To wbImportFile.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows.Count
wbImportFile.Sheets(1).Rows(iRow).Copy wsDestination.Rows(r)
r = r + 1
Next iRow
wbImportFile.Close False
Set wbImportFile = Nothing
End If
Next oFile
End Sub
Or, this.
Sub TxtImporter()
Dim f As String, flPath As String
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
flPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator
i = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
j = Application.Workbooks.Count
f = Dir(flPath & "*.txt")
Do Until f = ""
Workbooks.OpenText flPath & f, _
StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, _
Space:=False, Other:=False, TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Workbooks(j + 1).Worksheets(1).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i + 1).Name = Left(f, Len(f) - 4)
Workbooks(j + 1).Close SaveChanges:=False
i = i + 1
f = Dir
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
That's just a generic sample. So, basically, I'd modify the code like this.
Sub TxtImporter()
Dim f As String, flPath As String
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'flPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator
flPath = "C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\Dates\"
i = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
j = Application.Workbooks.Count
f = Dir(flPath & "*.txt")
VAL1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value
VAL2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 2).Value
f = Left(f, 8)
If f = VAL1 And f = VAL2 Then
Do Until f = ""
Workbooks.OpenText flPath & f, _
StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, _
Space:=False, Other:=False, TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Workbooks(j + 1).Worksheets(1).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i + 1).Name = Left(f, Len(f) - 4)
Workbooks(j + 1).Close SaveChanges:=False
i = i + 1
f = Dir
Loop
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
That will NOT work, because I don't know how you want to handle the time and 'DataLog.txt' part of the file name. Just decide what you want to do with that part of it, and modify the code appropriately.
Also, I'm assuming the dates (without times) are in A1 and B1 in Sheet1.
I think this gets you 99% of the way there. Post back if you have specific questions.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

I haven't looked closely, but my spidey sense tingles at this:
new FileOutputStream(MPath)This will clobber (erase) the previous contents of the file. Open in append mode:
new FileOutputStream(MPath, true)Of course, if the file exists before you run this code, you will end up append to the original contents. If that is not wanted, consider using File's delete method first.

Average Data from multiple text files

I am new to labVIEW hence a little help is appreciated:
I have a 100 txt files with two columns (tab separated) for X and Y value.
I need to average the Y values to generate one single txt file and generate X versus Y graph.
So how do I read the data from these text files? (without having to select each one of them individually) and how to average the data and create a XY graph from it?
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use X-Y Graph.
You were able to get two arrays of X and Y points from text file right?
