Problems with CSV File

I've got a form that collects addresses, and then puts them
in a .csv file.
One of the problems I'm having is that some of the addresses
are longer and pieces of them end up going in different columns.
Is there a way around this ? Making max lengths, or putting
them in a DB instead of a csv file?
Your help is appreciated

Have a read of this:

And this:

They explain how to compose a CSV properly.

Problem with CSV file and Ostermiller library

Hello, I'm using Ostermiller library to generate file with csv format.
The problem is that this library seems to have a bug when it comes to data including the character carriage return.
For example I try to record a file with the following data:
Field1 = Text1
Field2 = This is
a long text including
carriage return
characters
Theoritically the file should looks like this:
Text1,"This is
a long text including
carriage return
characters"
But the library creates the following:
Text1, This is\ra long text including\rcarriage return\rcharacters
The \r you can see in not 0x0D but 0x5C 0x72 !!!!!!
This is not a correct CSV format and then I cannot reopen the file correctly with Excel.
Did you already see this problem with this library?
Any idea?

Even when i use ExcelCSVPrinter the text appears as -
5,1,First aid course,234,,"Boeing Everett Plant \nRoom No 108",2007-11-26,02:15:00,,04:15:00,Scheduler S.,Resourcing,,hiii abc
when I open this text in notepad. It formats properly when I open in excel as follows
5,1,First aid course,234,,"Boeing Everett Plant
Room No 108",2007-11-26,02:15:00,,04:15:00,Scheduler S.,Resourcing,,hiii abc
IS there something else that I need to do?

I have received a .xlsx (excel) file. It is also ziped and I can not open it. I also have the same problem with .csv files. I can not open them either. How do I get them open. Thanks.

I have recived via an email attachment a .xlsx (Exel) file which is also zipped. I can not open it. I also can never get .csv files open. How do I overcome these two problems?
Thanks,

drag it to the Desktop. double-click it to unzip it.

Problem with .csv file

Hi,
I need to download the contents of my internal table in .csv format file.
So, I am separating the contents of the internal table with ',' (comma) and storing it in another internal table t_download.
DATA: BEGIN OF t_download OCCURS 100,
rec(800),
END OF t_download.
Now I download the contents using the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The file should contain 19 records, but it downloads only 13.
If I separate the columns with '|' and then download, I get all 19 records downloaded.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Regards.

Another problem with CSV FILE

Hi
I have a field called payee1 which has to be 40 In length.
Now I have added blanks/space after i get the field to make it 40 before I call the 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT'. but then my temp table itab1 shows the same filed with no space and I end up with the exact field length in the csv and also I have payee2 which most of the time don't have any records but my csv should show it with 40 character space right. it doesn't.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

it's non possible to treat binary data as String!
Image files must be sent as byte[] NOT as String ......

Hi all,
There is an old form , which was not in use from many days.
Now when we tried to run the form, i got the error saying "FRM-40734:Internal Error:Pl/SQL error occured.", in the login form.
When i tried to open the fmb file in Oracle Forms Builder 6i, i got the following error:

Because i commented the above line & compiled, so it is not giving any error now.
So please tell me what win_api_environment.read_registry does??
it's read windows registry value. So, no problem if you comment it.

Doublechecking, roy. After making the preferences change, are you leaving the General tab by clicking the OK button down the bottom-right-hand corner of the tab?

please help me

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Send mails with csv file as an attachment through oracle(SQL SCripts / Stor

Hello Everybody,

Can somebody suggest me with a suitable code for the same?
Would be of great help..!!
