Read and Modify NTUser.DAT file

Hello All,
I've to perform the uninstall operations of activesetup in a console application based in C#.
The tasks is to mount the NTUser.Dat file of all the users of system and search the HKLM and HKCU hives of each user and remove corresponding registry entries related to activesetup.
I've found the RegLoadKey method but couldn't found the read and modify methods to treat NTUser.dat for my requirement.
I've found one link:-
https://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/108278/load-registry-hive
But even this doesn't perform the required operations.
Please share some suggestions or Code examples to perform this operation?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
TechIT_Ashish,
The Ntuser.dat file is a registry file. Each user's Ntuser.dat file contains the registry settings for their individual account. The Windows registry, as described by Microsoft, is a "central hierarchical database" that contains information about
the software, hardware and user profiles contained on a computer.
So about read that file, the.NET Framework supports a lot and in C# the RegistryKey class.
You can use the
RegLoadKey P/Invoke.
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int RegLoadKey(uint hKey,string lpSubKey, string lpFile);
//API'used
// Loading a Hive "C:\NTUSER.DAT"
RegLoadKey(HKEY_USERS,"NTUSER.DAT",@"C:\NTUSER.DAT");)
You can get some hints from Load registry hive from C# fails
Modify NTUser.DAT file, I am afraid there is no some build-in method in .Net Framework, after some research, I've found use Script to modify ntuser.dat.

Read and write a .CSV file contains cirillic characters issue

Hi guys,
I am a developer of a web application project which uses Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies. We use JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0 as development IDE.
I have a requirement to get a .csv file from WLS to application running machine. I used a downloadActinLinsener in front end .jspx in order to do that.
I use OpenCSV library to read and write .csv files.
Here is my code for read and write the .csv file,
public void dwdFile(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream out) {
System.out.println("started");
String [] nextLine;
try {
FileInputStream fstream1 = new FileInputStream("Downloads/filetoberead.CSV");
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream1);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF-8"));
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(br,'\n');
//CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader("Downloads/ACTIVITY_LOG_22-JAN-13.csv"),'\n');
List<String> list=new ArrayList();
while ((nextLine = reader.readNext()) != null) {
if(nextLine !=null){
for(String s:nextLine){
list.add(s);
System.out.println("list size ; "+list.size());
OutputStreamWriter w = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8");
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(w, ',','\u0000');
for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++){
System.out.println("list items"+list.get(i));
String[] entries = list.get(i).split(",");
writer.writeNext(entries);
//System.out.println("list items : "+list.get(i));
writer.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
say the filetoberead.CSV contains following data,
0,22012013,E,E,ASG,,O-0000,O,0000,100
1,111211,LI,0,TABO,B,M002500003593,,,К /БЭ60072715/,КАРТЕНБАЙ

2,07,Balance Free,161
It reads and writes the numbers and english characters correct. All cirillic characters it prints "?" as follows,
0,22012013,E,E,ASG,,O-0000,O,0000,100
1,111211,LI,0,TABO,B,M002500003593,,,? /??60072715/,?????????
2,07,Balance Free,3
1,383708,LI,0,BDSC,B,??63041374,,,? /??63041374/,???????????
2,07,Balance Free,161
can somone please help me to resolve this problem?
Regards !
Sameera

Are you sure that the input file (e.g. "Downloads/filetoberead.CSV") is in UTF-8 character set? You can also check it using some text editor having a view in hex mode. If each Cyrillic character in your input file occupies a single byte (instead of two), then the file is not in UTF-8. Most probably it is in Cyrillic for Windows (CP1251).
If this is the case, you should modify the line
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF-8"));toBufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,"windows-1251"));Dimitar

Reading and writing from a file

I am trying to read and write to a file so that I may store an array of string and a double in my application, but I have come upon a couple of problems; first when I put my file path into the path constant it will say that the file is not there ever though it is (so I have to force the issue and when the application asks for a file I have to browse and add the files), secondly when I run the program and it reads from the file it does not display the strings or doubles immediately instead I have to hit the submit button and than they finally come up, thirdly when I reset my values in the .txt files and put in my string and double and hit submit the array jumps one spot and starts at the index of 1 (array[1]) if anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.
here is my code:

I don't see that behavior at all about forcing the issue. Why are you using Not a Path constants? Why not turn those constants into controls you put on your front panel?
secondly when I run the program and it reads from the file it does not display the strings or doubles immediately instead I have to hit the submit button and than they finally come up,
Put your array indicators before your event structure rather than after. Think dataflow. The code pauses at the event structure waiting for an even to fire. Only when it does (such as hitting the submit button) does the data get written to the array indicators.
thirdly when I reset my values in the .txt files and put in my string and double and hit submit the array jumps one spot and starts at the index of 1 (array[1]) if anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.
I don't see this behavior either. How come your double.txt file has names in it, and your string.txt file has doubles in it?

Reading and printing from a file

I have a method that reads temperatures from a data file and prints them to the monitor. I use a while loop to read each line of the file, but for some reason it doesnt skip the loop when readLine returns null. My question is how do i get the method to stop reading before it returns null...
   public static void printFile(String textFile) throws IOException
        String inputString="";
        BufferedReader inputDataFile=
        new BufferedReader(new FileReader(CENTIGRADE_DATA_FILE));
        while(inputString!=null)
            inputString= inputDataFile.readLine();
            System.out.println(inputString);
        inputDataFile.close();


ok cool thanks for pointing that out guys i appreciate it...now i need to take those temps and convert them from Strings to doubles so they can be converted i tried this but im getting a NumberFormatException error...
public static void buildReport() throws IOException
        double centigradeTemp=0.00;
        String inputTemp="";
        //Open centigrade temps to be read and converted
        BufferedReader inputDataFile=
        new BufferedReader(new FileReader(CENTIGRADE_DATA_FILE));
        //Open file writer to write report
        PrintWriter outFile=new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("TempReport.txt"));
        //While loop to read a temp, convert it, and write it in the report
        while((inputTemp= inputDataFile.readLine())!=null)
            centigradeTemp=Integer.parseInt(inputTemp);
            outFile.println(fahrenheit(centigradeTemp));
        outFile.close();
    public static double fahrenheit(double centigrade)
        double fahrenTemp=0.00;
        fahrenTemp=(9/5)*centigrade + 32;
        return fahrenTemp;

Programmatically reading and processing a spool file

Hello,
I would like to read and process a spool file generated by a background job in my ABAP program.
Can anyone advise if this is possible in SAP and if so, the best way to do this?
The only information I will have in my program is the job name and the date on which the job was run. I then need to find the corresponding spool and read this into an internal table.
Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Does Aperture read and display XMP data generated by LR?

Does anyone know if Aperture reads and displays XMP data generated by LR? I am not interested particularly in keywords.

Thanks for the quick reply, William.
I would suggest to David Schloss and AUPN that this would be a feature worth supporting. Although, hopefully both new software and improving skills in using them make me less concerned about preserving a static conversion or interpretation of an image, I think that whatever software we use to read/exchange keywords and other IPTC data is a constant.

Can I read and search a PDF file on my IPAD

Can I read and search a PDF file on my IPAD??

Several apps will allow you to work with PDFs. iBooks will handle them, but there have been a few issues reported about using it for that purpose. My guess is it depends on the size and complexity of the file. Adobe has a reader in teh app store (free). Goodreader is an option, and provides functionality for searches.

Canwe create new vendors and modify vendor data (Transaction: MK01, MK02).

Hi ABAPER's,
This is Sekhar. I have a idea can we creat and modify vendor data using transactions MK01, MK02 by using BDC.
Kindly send me an option.
waiting for ur responce.
bey

Hi,
Using MK01 and MK02, you can create and change vendors only for the general and purchase org view. You wont be able to create vendors in company code view. If this suits your requriement you can go ahead with MK01 and MK02 . If you have to create even for company code view, you can use the generic transactions XK01 and XK02

What is the best way to read and manipulate large data in excel files and show them in Sharepoint

Hi ,
I have a large excel file that has 700,000 records in it. The excel file has a few columns that change every day.
What is the best way to read the data form the excel file in fastest and most efficient way.
2 nd Problem,
I have one excel file that has many rows each row contain some data that has certain keywords.
What I want is to segregate the data of rows into respective sheets(tabs ) in the workbook.
for example in rows have following data
1. Alfa
2beta
3 gama
4beta
5gama
6gama
7alfa
in excel
I want there to be 3 tabs now with each of the key words alfa beta and gamma.

Hi,
I don't really see any better options for SharePoint. SharePoint use other production called 'Office Web App' to allow users to view/edit Microsoft Office documents (word, excel etc.). But the web version of excel doesn't support that much records as well
as there's size limitations (probably the default max size is 10MB).
Regarding second problem, I think you need some custom solutions (like a SharePoint timer job/webpart ) to read and present data.
However, if you can reduce the excel file records to something near 16k (which is supported rows in web version of excel) then you can use SharePoint Excel service to refresh data automatically in the excel file in SharePoint from some external sources.
