Reading one and one value from either excel or text file

Hello
We are some students working on a schoolproject where we want to control some motor outputs. We want to create a set of input-values that are being red into our program either excel or text file.
For example we want a input to read value "1" then the program runs its course and we get a result of the input "1", after that read the next value "2" and the program runs its course and so on.
We have searched for clues and answeres, but i guess were really bad at that. Anyone here that could help us out?
Under you can see one of our programs, its designed to control 3 fans depending on the input (CO ppm). We want to replace the "Numeric Controller" (CO ppm) into "something else" that gives us one and one input from a list of values.
Kindly regards
Weary students

Hi Guys!
Nice to see that you are using this for your school project! Below I included two Knowledge bases with the information that you need. You can learn from it and try to see if you can read something and display it, to start with. Then try looking for specific data.

  • From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    Hi,
    Use NVL or COALESCE:
    NVL (col_a, col_b)
    Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
    Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
    For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

  • How to get one value from multiple duplication for a key figure field

    Hi expert,
          I have a infoprovider, with following format:
            employee     hourly_rate   action_type  count of action
         there are multiple rows for each employee, I want to create query as follows:
            employee     hourly_rate   action_type  count of action
         in which hourly_rate is constant , only retriving one value from multiple rows for one employee, count of action should be summarized. 
    how to get this hourly_rate.
    Many Thanks,

    Hi,
    put the employee in rows panel -> reaming object put it in free char panel.
    suppress the all result rows for the all object except employee .
    select the object -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select suppress.
    select the employee -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select always display. - now it will give employee wise hourly rate summarize data.
    Thanks,
    Phani.

  • Reading one line from a text file into an array

    i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
    public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
         InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);

    this section calls it:

    it gives me an array index out of bounds error

    oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
    They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

  • Fetching more than one row from a table after selecting one value from the dropdown

    Hi Experts,
    How can we fetch more than one row from a table after selecting one value from the dropdown.
    The scenario is that I have some entries in the dropdown like below
      A               B               C        
    11256          VID          911256  
    11256          VID          811256
    11256          SONY      11256
    The 'B' values are there in the dropdown. I have removed the duplicate entries from the dropdown so now the dropdownlist has only two values.for eg- 'VID' and'SONY'. So now, after selecting 'VID' from the dropdown I should get all the 'C' values. After this the "C' values are to be passed to other methods to fetch some data from other tables.
    Request your help on this.
    Thanks,
    Preeetam Narkhede.

    Hi Preetam!
    I hope I understand your request proberly, since this is more about Java and less about WebDynpro, but if I'm wrong, just follow up on this.
    Supposed you have some collection of your original table data stored in variable "origin". Populate a Hashtable using the values from column "B" (let's assume it's Strings) as keys and an ArrayList of whatever "C" is (let's assume String instances, too) as value (there's a lot of ways to iterate over whatever your datasource is, and since we do not know what your datasource is, maybe you'll have to follow another approach to get b and c vaues,but the principle should remain the same):
    // Declare a private variable for your Data at the appropriate place in your code
    private Hashtable temp = new Hashtable<String, ArrayList<String>>();
    // Then, in the method you use to retrieve backend data and populate the dropdown,
    // populate the Hashtable, too
    Iterator<TableData> a = origin.iterator();
    while (a.hasNext()) {
         TableData current = a.next();
         String b = current.getB();
         String c = current.getC();
         ArrayList<String> values = this.temp.get(b);
         if (values == null) {
              values = new ArrayList<String>();
         values.add(c);
         this.temp.put(b, values);
    So after this, you'll have a Hashtable with the B values als keys and collections of C values of this particular B as value:
    VID --> (911256, 811256)
    SONY --> (11256)
    Use
    temp.keySet()
    to populate your dropdown.
    After the user selects an entry from the dropdown (let's say stored in variable selectedB), you will be able to retrieve the collection of c's from your Hashtable
    // In the metod you handle the selection event with, get the c value collection
    //and use it to select from your other table
    ArrayList<String> selectedCs = this.temp.get(selectedB);
    // now iterate over the selectedCs items and use each of these
    //to continue retrieving whatever data you need...
    for (String oneC : selectedCs) {
         // Select Data from backend using oneC in the where-Clause or whatever...
    Hope that helps

    Sorry this is not something that we currently support. You have to enter your items manually. Once you created you field though you can copy in paste to other forms so you only have to create it once.

  • Recording measured voltage and current values from LCR 4284A

    Hello,
    I want to use the labview VI to record the measured voltage and current values from LCR 4284A. These are shown as Vm and Im on the instrument screen. Is it possible to record these values using a VI?
    I have looked through the drivers that are available through the "Instrument driver network" (Link) for 4284A but none of the VIs give any option to monitor Vm and Im. If you know how this can be done then I would really appreciate a reply.
    Thanks
    Mansoor

    I haven't used the instrument but there are functions to enable/read voltage level and current level monitors. Are those different than what you are asking for? What does the manual say about Vm and Im and programatically getting them? If you can find the command in the manual, you can just open the VI Tree and do a text search for the command.
