Read all Files from a Folder on Server

Hi,
Can anyone help me in finding if there's any way to read all files in a folder on the server?Any Function module or anything.
Thanks

On App server? Try this sample program.
report zrich_0001 .
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(1000) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(1000) type c.
data: p_file type localfile.
data: ifile type table of salfldir with header line.
parameters: p_path type salfile-longname
                    default '/usr/sap/TST/DVEBMGS01/data/'.
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
     exporting
          name           = p_path
     tables
          file_tbl       = ifile
     exceptions
          argument_error = 1
          not_found      = 2
          others         = 3.
loop at ifile.
format hotspot on.
write:/ ifile-name.
hide ifile-name.
format hotspot off.
endloop.
at line-selection.
concatenate p_path ifile-name into p_file.
clear itab. refresh itab.
open dataset p_file for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset p_file into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      itab-rec = wa.
      append itab.
    enddo.
endif.
close dataset p_file.
loop at itab.
    write:/ itab.
endloop.

How to Read all files inside resource Folder inside Jar?

I have a Jar file,,,, The program reads for resource files in the resource folder inside the Jar. I want my program to read all files inside this folder without knowing the names or the number of files in the folder.
I am using this to make an Applet easy to be updated with spicific files. I just want to add a file inside the resource folder and Jar the program and automatically the program reads what ever is in there!!
I used the File class to get all file names inside the resource folder. it works fine before Jarring the program. After I jar I recieve a URI not Herarichy Exception!!
File fold=new java.io.File(getClass().getResource(folder).toURI());
String[] files=fold.list();
I hope the question is clear!!

How to get the directory and jar file that you class resides in:
// returns path and jarfile (ex: /home/mydir/my.jar)
public String getJarfileName()
        // Get the location of the jar file and the jar file name
        java.net.URL outputURL = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
        String outputString = outputURL.toString();
        String[] parseString;
        int index1 = outputString.indexOf(":");
        int index2 = outputString.lastIndexOf(":");
        if (index1!=index2) // Windows/DOS uses C: naming convention
           parseString = outputString.split("file:/");
        else
           parseString = outputString.split("file:");
        String jarFilename = parseString[1];
       return jarFilename;
}If your my.jar was in /home/mydir, it will store "/home/mydir/my.jar" in jarFilename.
note: getLocation returns "file:/C:/home/mydir/my.jar" for Windows/DOS and "file:/home/mydir/my.jar" for windows, thus why I look for the first and last index of the colon so I can correctly split the string.
If you want to grab a file in the jar file and get an InputStream, do the following:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
// jar stuff
import java.util.jar.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
public class Jaris
   private JarFile jf;
   public Jaris(String jarFilename) throws Exception
       try
                       jf = new JarFile(jarFilename);
       catch (Exception e)
            jf=null;
            throw(e);
   public InputStream getInputStream(String matchString) throws Exception
       ZipEntry ze=null;
       try
          Enumeration resources = jf.entries();
          while ( resources.hasMoreElements() )
             JarEntry je = (JarEntry) resources.nextElement();
             // find a file that matches this string from anywhere in my jar file
             if ( je.getName().matches(".*\\"+matchString) )
                String filename=je.getName();
                ze=jf.getEntry(filename);
      catch (Exception e)
         throw(e);
      InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(ze);
      return is;
   // for testing the Jaris methods
   public static void main(String[] args)
      try
           String jarFilename=getJarfileName();
           Jaris jis = new Jaris(jarFilename); // this is the string we got from the other method listed above
           InputStream is=jis.getInputStream("myfile.txt"); // can be used for xml, xsl, etc
      catch (Exception e)
         // this is just a test, so we'll ignore the exception

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

Reading a file from a folder.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to modify my first java program.
The method below is used to read a file that is hard coded in the below method. What I would like it to do is to pick up files that are stored in a folder. The reason for this is that the file names will never be the same.
I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate some help from you.
Thanks in advance.

I could not compile your code. But if you wanted to get all .txt files from a folder then you could do something like this
class EndsWith implements FilenameFilter {
     String ext;
     public EndsWith(String ext) {
          this.ext = "." + ext;
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(ext);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          String srcDir="C:/temp/";
          try {
               File srcFiles = new File(srcDir);
              FilenameFilter filteredFiles = new EndsWith("txt");
              String sourceDir[]=srcFiles.list(filteredFiles);
              for(int i=0;i<sourceDir.length;i++)
                   String fileName = srcDir+sourceDir;
          System.out.println(fileName);
          FileReader file = new FileReader(fileName);
          //..your code here
          }catch(IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
NOTE: I haven't tested this code. You can give a try.

How to read all files under a folder directory in FTP site

Hi Experts,
I use this SQL to read data from a file in FTP site. utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
But this need to fixed file name in a directory. However, client generate output file with auto finename.
SO do we have any way to read all file by utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
We need to read all file info. because client claim for security issue and does not to overwirte output file name,
we must find a way to read all file in output directory.
Thanks for help!!!
Jim

If you use Chris Poole's XUTL_FTL package, I believe that contains functions that allows you to query the directory contents.

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

Hello,
I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
have all of the files they are used to having....
Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
would it be this:
move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
This is the coding I have so far....

In Windows we would do this using Group Policy. There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to. Once set it will automatically do this for you.
You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder. The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running. It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed. This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
Use GP folder redirection to do this. For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum.
All of this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc786749.aspx
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Reading all files froma folder

Hi ,
Does anyone know how to read the data from all text files in a given folder?
I mean does text_io recongnises a certain sintax to do this?
Thanks,
Sandu

Well
I'm having problems initializing a java.lang.String as ora_java.jobject.
I was able to import in forms my class ,(wich works ok when tested like standalone java class,it returns all the filenames from a folder),a package was generated on the form for it.
But,I've got to pass it the folder name as a String.
I've imported java.lang.String as ora_java.jobject,and a package was generated on the form.
When I try to call string.new('c:\work');
it won't compile,it says invalid reference to variable String.
What should I do?Is there any predefined Type in ora_java package for java.lang.String?
Thanks,
Sandu

LR4 Import won't import all files from a folder

Have just installed Windows LR4 trial, told it to Import files from my photo collection in a folder + subfolders on a network attached storage (NAS) unit. Windows Explorer tells me that there are 10,308 files in 408 folders in the main folder, totalling 38.8gb but on scanning the folder prior to import LR4 tells me that there are only 9,612 photos.
My photo collection folder contains only photos and no other file types.
Why is there this discrepancy ? I've searched around to see whether there is some hidden filter that is excluding certain photo files but cannot find anything of that nature.

Thanks again for this lead. After initially getting nowhere with it it, and after investing a lot of time, it turned out that I was getting nowhere because Windows Explorer wasn't revealing all the files in the Photo folder of my network drive (despite my going through all the settings to Reveal Hidden Files, etc). When, in the search for the "missing" 600+ files that LR didn't find, I trawled the Photo folder with WinDirStat instead of Windows Explorer it revealed 167 files with the suffix .xmp and 369 files with the suffix.db (plus a smaller number of .bmp .jpeg, .pia, etc.). I don't know what the .db files are (possibly debris from previous photo indexing software) but presume that LR doesn't need them.. The .xmp files, I see, are an Adobe format and I don't know (yet; I'm reading the manual) whether LR uses them.
Again, thanks for your help.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of downloading all the files from an application server directory to a local pc.
I know how to download a single file from an application server at a time provided the file name is known.
But my requirement is to download all the files in that particulary directory, because I dont know how many files were created in that directory and what are their names.
Please kindly provide the solution.
Thanks,
Kalikonda.

Nelson,
Here is the function module that I have used to get all the application server files.
appl_dir_name is the path of the directory i.e. '/outbound/PD1/Applnserverfiles/'
it_appl_srv_fls is the internal table where all the files gets stored in.
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
   EXPORTING
     dir_name                     = appl_dir_name
FILE_MASK                    = ' '
IMPORTING
DIR_NAME                     =
FILE_COUNTER                 =
ERROR_COUNTER                =
   TABLES
     dir_list                     = it_appl_srv_fls
EXCEPTIONS
invalid_eps_subdir           = 1
sapgparam_failed             = 2
build_directory_failed       = 3
no_authorization             = 4
read_directory_failed        = 5
too_many_read_errors         = 6
empty_directory_list         = 7
OTHERS                       = 8
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
hope this solves your problem.
