Static lookup lists:read data from a Java *.properties file

Hi
i need to make static lookup lists i am using read data from a Java *.properties file
i am using the Class "PropertyFileBasedLookupViewObjectImpl" that wrote by Steve Muench in ToyStore.
but i need to use the default language for that i update the loadDataFromPropertiesFile()
method to find the correct properties file
String temp=Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
String propertyFile =
getViewDef().getFullName().replace('.', '/')+"_"+temp+ ".properties";
the problem:
For English(TEST_en.properties) it is good and working
For Arabic(TEST_ar.properties) read from correct file _ar.properties
but the dispaly character is wrong

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"
I have used the UTL_FILE API to extract the tab delimited data which can be opened in excel but it is not exactly an excel file as the worksheet name is same as the file name.
I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?
select * from v$version;
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi

end loop;
utl_file.fclose(f);
--utl_file.frename(dir, file_name, dir, replace(file_name, '.xls', '_')||to_char(sysdate, 'MMDDYY')||'.xls', false);
utl_file.fcopy(dir, file_name, dir, replace(file_name, '.xls', '_')||to_char(sysdate, 'MMDDYY')||'.xls');
end;Thanks

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.

How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI. I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template. It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data. So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs. But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I C.
Got it,
the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File
I learn something everyday

Saving data from loops to excel file.

Hello all,
Okay I am jammed up on this topic. What I have is two while loops in parallel and I need to save the data from each loop in the same spreed sheet but on different pages. I don't know if this is possible. If not then just one spreed sheet with the data saved in columns.
On the one page I would need the Interlock data (supply pressure, return pressure, flow rate, and change in pressure) an on the next page I would need the power supply info, (supply current, supply voltage, and voltage across the diode). I also have a date time stamp and an operator initials and diode serial number that I would like to have on each page but not 100% a must just need to save somewhere in the file.
I have the data going into table and table two respectivly, but don't need to view the tables. I just used them as a test to see if the data was being passed correctly.
Any help would be much appriciated, and If anyone has any question about the problem I would be more then happy to answer them. Thanks.
BTW I am using labview 7.0

As stated before in this thread the way you are currently doing it you are NOT using activeX and writing directly to Excel, you are just writing a tab delimited text file that you can open with excel or that you have set to open with Excel in windows. You will NOT be able be able to put your data on two seperate pages. You MUST use activeX with Excel to do this. Again have a look at the link posted above, search the forums for Excel, have a look at the activeX examples in LV. What you want to do is not hard you will just have to change your program to use activeX.
I could do an example for you but I only have 8.20. Maybe I'll do one later today and post it to the excel board and then someone could convert it to LV 7 for you.

Reg : export data from ALV to excel file

Hi All,
I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display the output. I have total 73 columns getting displayed in output but when i export the data to the excel file using (ctrlshiftF9) I am getting only first 43 columns in the first row and from 44th column on wards the data is populated in the 1st column of second row.
Please let me know is there any particular setting by which I can get all the 73 columns in a single row.
Thanks in advance.
VIJAY

Hi vijay,
You can try setting your line width to 255 in your abap program.
Otherwise, you can try an alternative:
1. Put a customize button on the ALV toolbar.
2. Go to se41 to create th buttons
2. do i_callback_program in ALV function. or SET PF_STATUS
3. Then in sy-ucomm, use 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to xls.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Reading data from Hashtable in another file

how do i read the data from Hashtable which is created in another file. The file which creates hashtable is continuously running , and i want to read the content of the hash table into another file. Both the file exist in same machine.
Help needed.
Ancitipated Thanks

Then you mean "class" or "object", not "file". Yes, you see the details of these classes in the source code files, and the compiled classes are kept in files, but programmers don't think of the files, they think of the objects running in the JVM. By calling them "files" you're causing confusion.
Anyway, multiple threads can access a hashtable, which is synchronized apparently. So that alone shouldn't be a problem. If you have one object adding to a hashtable while another is reading its contents via an iterator, that could cause ConcurrentModificationExceptions.

Best way to browse and read data from a lot of files?

Hi All,
I am trying to read tags from music files. Currently I'm listing all the files and then reading through the tags, as below:
List<File> result = new ArrayList<File>();
FilenameFilter mp3filter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".mp3");
FilenameFilter wmafilter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".wma");
FileFilter dirFilter = new FileFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File file) {
          return file.isDirectory();
File[] dirList = aStartingDir.listFiles(dirFilter);
File[] mp3files = aStartingDir.listFiles(mp3filter);
File[] wmafiles = aStartingDir.listFiles(wmafilter);
List<File> filesDirs = Arrays.asList(dirList);
List<File> filesMp3 = Arrays.asList(mp3files);
List<File> filesWma = Arrays.asList(wmafiles);
for (File file : filesMp3) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesWma) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesDirs) {
     List<File> deeperList = getFileListing(file);
     result.addAll(deeperList);
}and then read the files in a for loop through the list.
Is there a better way to do the same?

Well, you could optimize that just a little bit by only calling listFiles once with a filter that would accept directories, wmas, and mp3s all in one go. Then you could iterate through the results and separate them into the three categories after you had the complete recursive directory listing. That may be faster. But your OS will likely cache the results of the directory listing, thus minimizing the effort of your current approach. But honestly, no... you need the headers from every file, so you'll need to find each file and then check the headers.
If you want, you can cache the results somewhere for future reference. Are you concerned about performance or some such?

Hi,
Upload Excel file using File Upload UI
1)Add jxl jar folder in the lib folder of ur project.
2)Go to properties of ur project and add jar to ur project.
3)Using the File upload ui ,browse and upload the file.
4)Write the read file in to ur server location using fileoutput stream.
5)then using code u can read the excelfile from the server location itself.
Here is the code:
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo =wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("upload");
/** get the name of excel file and storing it in the server with the same name and extention****/
binaryType=IWDModifiableBinaryTypeattInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
fileuploaded = binaryType.getFileName();
byte b[] = wdContext.currentContextElement().getUpload();
File filename =new File("
<Server name>
<folde name>
" + fileuploaded);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
out.write(b);
out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
/**Readind from the server**/
int iRows = 0;
try {     Workbook wb = null;
     Sheet sheet = null;
     wb = Workbook.getWorkbook(filename);
     sheet = wb.getSheet(0);
     int iColumns = sheet.getColumns();
      iRows = sheet.getRows();
     int i = 0;
    //get Cell contents by (COLUMN, ROW);
    for (int r = 0; r < iRows; r++) {
   for (int c = 0; c < iColumns; c++) {
     Cell cell = sheet.getCell(c, r);
     characterarray<i> = cell.getContents();
//wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Row"r characterarray<i>);
i++;
wb.close();
Declare Globally
//@@begin others
String fileuploaded;
IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType;
String characterarray[] = new String[1000];

Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

Hi,
I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
//Load from txt or xml files
private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
.Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
.Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
.Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
try
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
//Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
return line;
catch (Exception ex)
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
The error it throws up is:
Error 1
'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return "";
