Reading an entry form a txt file in unix from Forms50

Hello all,
In the windows version D2k there is a pll in the
demo.d2kwutil.pll, this pll can be used to read/writ from/to ini
files
and registry strings.
Can anybody tell me if there is a similar feature in the UNIX
version to read/write entries from/to a text file. Also Is there
a package for working with environment settings.
Thanks,
Sunder

It you want to read/write to the client side use text_io.
If you wnat to read/write to the server side use utl_file.

it is something like this ...i want to break it into readable format ...i have tried vector with is the following code.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class parseCastle {
public static Vector parseInfo(String str) {
int recordSize = 59;
Vector v = new Vector();
for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i+=recordSize) {
String str1 = str.substring(i, i+recordSize);
Vector vi = new Vector();
vi.addElement(str1.substring(0, 35));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(35, 41));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(41, 49));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(49, 59));
v.addElement(vi);
return v;
//constructor
parseCastle(){
try
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream("castle.txt");
File fprop = new File("castle.txt");
byte[] data = new byte[(int)fprop.length()];
int total = fin.read(data);
if (total != data.length) {
System.err.println("Error loading file");
return;
//System.out.println(data.length);
Vector v = parseInfo(new String(data));
for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++) {
Vector vi = (Vector)v.elementAt(i);
for (Enumeration e = vi.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();)
System.out.println(e.nextElement());
System.out.println();
//*** Alternative ***
//for (int k=0; k<vi.size(); k++)
// System.out.println(vi.elementAt(k));
catch (IOException e)
     System.out.println("Error: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
But it gave me error. like it exceeds array boundary...can someone expert help me out

You should be aware that these kind of effort always involves certain amount of risk because the proper record format is not hundred percent guaranteed. So, make sure to use properly formatted file, or genuine database instead.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class ParseCastle2{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
    String line, data;
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("castle.txt"));
    br.readLine(); //discard #Server Ready line
    line = br.readLine();
    Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("([ .A-Za-z]+)([/0-9:]+)");
    Matcher mat = pat.matcher(line);
    Pattern subPat = Pattern.compile("(\\d+):(\\d\\d:\\d\\d)(.+)");
    while (mat.find()){
      System.out.println(mat.group()); // if name only, use group(1) ... beware trailing space
      data = mat.group(2);
      Matcher subMat = subPat.matcher(data);
      while (subMat.find()){
        System.out.println(" cdID = " + subMat.group(1));
        System.out.println(" Time = " + subMat.group(2));
        System.out.println(" Date = " + subMat.group(3));

Why does Adobe reader on iPad lock unlocked pdf files on move from computer

I Have copied several pdf files, which I have made, from my laptop to my iPad. On my laptop they are unlocked and I can Add text etc. On the iPad they become locked and I cannot do this. Why? How do I stop this so that's can have u locked pdf files on my iPad.

Rbradford,
Did you add document restrictions or an "Open Password" protection to your PDF documents? When you add any of document security features to a PDF document, it will be encrypted.
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products do not support adding annotations to encrypted PDF documents or filling out encrypted PDF forms, for example.
To check whether your PDF document is encrypted
Open your PDF document in the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro.
Select File > Properties... from the menu. (Or press Command+D for Mac, Control+D for Windows.)
Select the Security Tab.
Click the Show Details... button (if enabled).
Check the last entry in the Document Security dialog.
If this is not the case, please send one of your PDF documents to [email protected] and include the link to this forum post (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1593031) in your email message for reference.
We will inspect the PDF document and diagnose the cause of the problem. Thank you.

Address Book NOT accepting csv.txt file as import from EARTHLINK web mail

Greetings. Unsuccessful thus far in importing e-addresses from Earthlink Web Mail to MAC Address Book. Found preferences and saved Earthlink addresses as csv.txt file but AB rejected as not true csv. Apple suggested conversion to V cards but could not find that option in Earthlink-ville. Perused Allan's post on synching with Total Access but fear accidentally installing stuff on my MACbook Pro from that application that is unneccessary or will screw up my new MAC world. Although in the long run, having Web mail back up my MAC makes sense. (Work and husband remain PC/ XP.)
Any solutions you can offer will be much appreciated.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks again. Okay, I pasted a portion of the csv file . I might be mistaken here, but I don't think these are V card format and perhaps converting them to V cards is what I'd have to do. But I would need pretty explicit directions.
Regards,
Andrea

Invalid charater in Excel when input .txt file that run from Oracle discove

Hi All,
I ran a report from oracle discover and saved as txt file, then open it with excel, the chinese will be shown as invalid character.
The problem is that Chinese characters can't be displayed well if I download the report (in csv ) from discover desktop version on my computer and open it with excel.
Pls. help to resolve the problem.
Thanks.

Hello
I'm afraid that I don't have much experience of working with Chinese characters and can see nothing in my notes that might help. Give it a couple of days for others to reply and if you don't get anywhere I recommend raising this as a service request with Oracle Support.

How to Read the Timestamp of a File on Unix from Form?

If you have a file located on UNIX operating, what is the best way to read the time stamp (the date that file has been created) of that file from Oracle SQL, SQL*plus, or Developer Forms 6i/9i/10g?

Thanks Robin for the reply! Your suggestion seems to be good!
However, We found a solution now! I would like to share with you the way we did, in case anyone out there need the solution:
In SQL*Plus, we created a Java Source below:
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "FileDate"
AS
import java.io.File;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class FileDate {
public static String GetDate(String strFilePath) {
String ReturnValue = null;
if (strFilePath == null || strFilePath.length()==0)
// do nothing
else
File aFile = new File(strFilePath);
if (aFile.exists())
long lngTime = aFile.lastModified();
Date aDate = new Date(lngTime);
SimpleDateFormat fmtDate =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
ReturnValue = fmtDate.format(aDate);
fmtDate = null;
aDate = null;
aFile = null;
return ReturnValue;
-- Then we created a wrapper to call the Compiled Java above:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION FileDate_GetDate(FilePath IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
-- Then we created a database package:
-- Package Spec:
PACKAGE sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2 (s1 varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
END sap_dnld;
-- Package Body:
PACKAGE BODY sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2( s1 VARCHAR2 )
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
END sap_dnld;
-- Then we tested the whole thing in SQL*Plus:
set serveroutput on;
declare
x varchar2(2000);
begin
x := sap_dnld.get_file_date2;
dbms_output.put_line(x);
end;
-- Then we called the function from the package using a procedure from the form:
PROCEDURE Find_date IS
BEGIN
:control.file_date := sap_dnld.get_file_date2('directory1/subdirectory/filename.txt');
END;

How to run .ksh file in unix from .jsp files

Hi frnd,
How to connect unix servers from .jsp file & I want to run unix scripts .ksh files from .jsp files
Thanku
bhupathipawan

It is usually a bad idea to do any major processing directly within a JSP. It is better to create a helper class and invoke methods on that. This helper class can then be tested outside of the inhospitable JSP environment.
To run the '.ksh' file you will need to use either Runtime.exec() or the more modern ProcessBuilder. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you read thoroughly the 4 sections of http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html and then implement the recommendations.
Note - although the 'traps' article is written around the use of Runtime.exec(), it's content is equally applicable to ProcessBuilder.

Printing a URL pdf file on Unix from a URL

Has anyone, managed to print a pdf file from a URL to UNIX via "lp" without first saving the file and then printing from the saved file via Runtime.getRuntime().exec().
Welcome suggestions on alternatives if not possible ?

One simple option which doesn't explicitly require a '.exec' would be to write a Java program which writes the PDF data from the URL to the console, and pipe the output to lp from the shell.
% java PDFURLWriter | lp
Good luck,

How to use certain entries from a txt file as metadata?

So during my plugin development I stumbled on a problem.
I have created a txt file for each picture telling me who's in the photos. So the first column in the file shows all the names that appear in the photo.
I want to add those names into LR for each photo. I thought using them as metadata would be a good idea. Then I could let the user enter a name of some person and create a smart collection having all photos with that person in them.
But putting it into practice isn't that easy.
So I started with the classic metadata definition:
metadataFieldsForPhotos = {
id = 'Person',
title = 'Person'
dataType = 'string',
searchable = true,
browsable = true,
Now I don't know how to actually read only the column entries of the txt file and displaying all the names appearing in it. Another problem is that each photo has its own txt file in "nameofphoto.jpg.txt" So LR must know which txt file belongs to a photo.
I know my question isn't very specific but it would be great if someone could help...

Thank you for the reply. Reading the file how I wanted worked fine and I chose to use keywords, as you suggested.
So now I tried to add the keywords to the pictures and I get:
"LrCatalog:withWriteAccessDo: could not execute action 'keywordProvider'. It was blocked by another write access call, and no timeout parameters were provided."
There's my function so far:
function Finder.findPerson(smartCollectionName)
     local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog()
     local photos = catalog:getMultipleSelectedOrAllPhotos()
       LrTasks.startAsyncTask( function()
            for i=1,#photos do
                 local photo = photos[i]
                 local photopath = photo:getRawMetadata("path")
                 local photoname = photo:getFormattedMetadata("fileName")
                 local folderpath = string.sub(photopath, 1, string.len(photopath) - string.len(photoname))
                 local metadataPath = folderpath .. "\.metaface\\" .. photoname .. ".txt"
                 local text = LrFileUtils.readFile(metadataPath)
                 local metadataValues = stringSplit(text)
                 for i = 0, #metadataValues do
                      catalog:withWriteAccessDo( "keywordProvider", function()
                           local keywords = catalog:createKeyword(metadataValues[i])
                           photos:addKeyword(keywords)
                      end)
                 end
           end
      end)
end
So what am I doing wrong?

Read a txt file & pass it to AppleScript

I was originally going to try to do this purely with AppleScript, but someone (who knows a lot more than me) told me it would be better to do it with a shell script.
What I want to do is read the contents of a txt file, which would contain a single URL. It would then pass the contents of that text file (the URL) on to be run by AppleScript, via osascript. Here's the AppleScript that should be run via osascript:
tell application "Safari"
add reading list item fileContents
end tell
So basically it would grab the URL from the text file and add it to Safari's Reading List. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Here's the thing...
It's almost impossible to get a shell script to interact with Safari - not quite, but bizarrely difficult.
AppleScript, on the other hand, is designed with the explicit goal of facilitating inter-process communication - one process telling another process to do something.
To do it all via the shell would likely either mean directly manipulating Safari's preference files to include the data you want, or invoking AppleScript (via osascript) to tell Safari what you want it to do.
The former is a nightmare proposition, which leaves the latter, and if you're going to resort to using AppleScript (even via osascript) then why not do the whole thing in AppleScript and be happy.
At the end of the day it's about using the right tool for the job. AppleScript was designed for this kind of thing. It's hard to see a better way of doing it.
I suspect your 'someone' doesn't really know as much as you think (or they think )

How to open and edit "*.txt" file with "Notepad"

Hello guys!
I'm facing problem with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and got no clue how to solve it.
What I want to do is to open "*.txt" (which is placed to "Documents Library") in "Notepad", so I could edit it and save (publish) directly to SharePoint from "Notepad".
If I upload any Microsoft office File, such as "*.docx", "*.xls", etc - it works as it should - document opens in appropriate application and everybody is happy.
But, when I create documents library, put some "*.txt" file there and click on it - it opens in new browser's tab as text, so I cannot edit the file.
What I tried to do is to activate feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" - not happy.
Edit "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML" - I've modified "txt" entry as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocIcons>
    <ByProgID>
    </ByProgID>
    <ByExtension>
<Mapping Key="txt" Value="ictxt.gif" EditText="Notepad" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    </ByExtension>
    <Default>
        <Mapping Value="icgen.gif"/>
    </Default>
</DocIcons>
Still not happy.
So, how do I make this stuff work?

Found this link which has more information on this scenario:
