Reading String (Name-Value) from text file into XML

Hi,
I have a requirement for reading a text file and converting each entry of that text file into XML format. I have not came across such thing yet so looking for some ideas. I am using SQL Server 2005 and here is a sample entry from my source text file,
Jun 4 14:31:00 zzzz64x02 fff:
INPUT(ty=XYZ,Prefix=15063,dn=78787878787878,sgk=100.139.201.48,xxn=87878,ani=656565656565,ogrp=F7ZX05,ogtxt=NNNNN,ogx=NNNNN,oci=0xe00ac,ogi={NOA=INT,BC=1,SIG-TYPE=ZIP});
PROCESS(ty=0x100000,cu=32880,Name=XOXOXOX,pc=88017,pd=24,dd=880175,pk=880175,rd=115472,ca=BGD,reg=RW,cdp=1,ai=245359,grp=2648,sl=9);
OUTPUT(ty=XXXX,ret=0,rl=
{i=1,su=99999,rizID=61084,skid=06,truckgp=1084,dd=8801,dn=78787878787878}
I will get multiple entries like this in my source text file which I have to convert into XML (using TSQL).
Any help will be useful.
Regards.

And I'm telling you that this is a bad option. You would use the vaccum cleaner to wash the dishes, would you?
If you for some reason would do this task in SQL Server, you would implement it as a CLR stored procedure, but from what you have said I don't understand why you would do this server-side at all.
What's wrong with the current C# solution?

Got it. I was just looking for the available options, nothing wrong with my C# solution. And yes, I don't use vacuum cleaner to wash dishes.

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

Hi,
I am getting a short dump........saying number conversion dump (while reading a currency value into field in internal table from a fixed lenght flat file).........
Do I need to use a string variable to get the value from flat file or how ??
Please suggest.

Santosh,
Thanks for your inputs,
But my internal table type is of DEC (5,2) , I am getting that... it needs to be of type 'C'. Can you suggest.
Ex :
MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8) TO wa_item-QT_PERCENT
This didnt work
so i tried moving into a seperate variable
MOVE wa_temp-infile_string+106(8) TO v_percent.
and then write to
WRITE v_percent to wa_item-QT_PERCENT.

Read value from text file to JTextField

Hi,
I think this is the right place to post this. Although maybe it is not it could be classed as I/O issues?
I have a JFrame with a JTextField which requires the user to enter a value. When they click a JButton "OK". It writes the value to a text file and closes the frame using FileWriter. If they click clear button it writes the value "" to the file. What I want to do is when the frame opens it reads the value from the text file. I have been trying to use FileReader but have not been able to write the code correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

File f = yourfile;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
String value = br.readLine();Alex.

Transfer time stamp from text file into MS Access thru Labview

Hello everyone,
I am Cruz; Long time listener, First time caller.
I am currently monotoring data being collected by an oven. The data is stored in a text file. I am using Labview to take the data from the textfile and place it in an MS access DB for manipulation. The first three columns of the text file are the time stamp of data. When i transfer the data into Access i cant get the first three columns to display as a time stamp. Can have some pointers on what how to get the first three columns to display correctly.
Additional info:
the text file is a 1D array that gets overitten with every new mesurement tanken. the transfer to Acces is to not loos any of the information and to better manipulate the data into forms and such.
Running Labview 2010
attached is code and text file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your first mistake is reading the file as DBL. Your first three columns are obviously not numeric values. Did you ever look at the output array? Read it as strings. Second, you would need to combine those first three columns to create an actual time stamp before you write to the db. Unless of course you have one column for date, one column for time, and one column for AM/PM. I would not recomend that type of structure in the db.

How to get current month from filename and bulk insert from text file into table?

I set up some dynamic SQL to help my bulk copy data from a text file to a table. This works fine for files that come in every day; I get the previous day’s data, based on the file name that’s placed
in the folder. That’s why I’m using the ‘-1’. The dates will look like this: '20140131', so I'm using type 112.
declare @fullpath1 varchar(1000)
select @fullpath1 = '''\\system.local\ms\london\FTP\' + convert(varchar, getdate()-1, 112) + '_INDEXPRICES_EOM.SPC'''
declare @cmd1 nvarchar(1000)
print (@cmd1)
select @cmd1 = 'bulk insert [dbo].[SB_Monthly] from ' + @fullpath1 + ' with (FIELDTERMINATOR = ''\t'', FIRSTROW = 5, LASTROW = 675, ROWTERMINATOR=''0x0a'')'
print(@cmd1)
exec (@cmd1)
I think the syntax will be somewhat similar to this:
YEAR(date_column)=YEAR(getdate()) AND MONTH(date_column)=MONTH(getdate())
I’m not totally sure how to incorporate that into my current syntax.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

I tried a couple versions of this.
Declare @StartDate Date, @EndDate Date
Select @StartDate = convert(varchar, getdate()-28, 112), @EndDate = convert(varchar, getdate()-1, 112)
BEGIN
declare @fullpath1 varchar(1000)
select @fullpath1 = '''\\ms\london\FTP\' + ''' between ''' + Convert(Varchar(10), @StartDate, 101) + ''' and ''' + Convert(Varchar(10), @EndDate, 101) + '''_SP.SPC'''
declare @cmd1 nvarchar(1000)
print (@cmd1)
select @cmd1 = 'bulk insert [dbo].[SPBMI_Monthly] from ' + @fullpath1 + ' with (FIELDTERMINATOR = ''\t'', FIRSTROW = 5, LASTROW = 675, ROWTERMINATOR=''0x0a'')'
print(@cmd1)
exec (@cmd1)
END
Here’s the string:
bulk insert [dbo].[SPBMI_Monthly] from '\\ms\london\FTP\' between '02/03/2014' and '03/02/2014'_SP.SPC' with (FIELDTERMINATOR = '\t', FIRSTROW = 5, LASTROW = 675, ROWTERMINATOR='0x0a')
The error message I keep getting is:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'between'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
I feel like I’m already pushing this thing to the limit.
Maybe this last part isn’t possible.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Sample Applescript: scraping values from numbers files into a master file

Hi, I have programming experience in c and other languages, but am new to applescript and so am learning a lot from this forum.
My goal is to make a timesheet system for my Dad (for a bday present) where every time he helps a client, he fills out a newly created numbers file - and after a week or so, he can run a script that scrapes certain values from each numbers file and places it into a master numbers file. Then saving and closing the file.
Vince, it sounds like you've written a script that does this feature of looping through all numbers files in a folder and putting select values from each numbers file into a master numbers file (after clearing the previous values of the master file).
Specifically, I'm looking for a sample script that opens up a numbers file, clears its table, then fills this table by scraping one value from a particular cell in every numbers file in a folder.
If anyone has a similar script they would be willing to post or email to me, for me to use as a foundation and to learn from, I would be very very very grateful. My email is forman.jq at gmail dot com.

I guess that this script may be a good starting point.

Trying to load a javascript link from text file into a dynamic textfile

Can anyone help me with this problem? Im trying to load in a
newsfeed from freshcontent.net into my text field. If i put this
javascript link on an html page, the page shows correctly, which is
im supposed to get 3 dynamic links with news content headlines.
Please view the link to see what i mean:
http://www.freshcontent.net/directory/real-estate/real_estate.html
Now, i cannot get this same type of display behavior in my
text field if i just paste into my text file the javascript link
thats supposed to bring up the 3 headlines. It is my understanding,
that flash cannot do this without some sort of specific
actionscripting, that involves asfusion, and/or externalInterface.
Im not sure exactly how to go about setting this up to make this
work. My current code looks like this:
If anybody could tell me where im going wrong and what i
should change in order to get the desired result im going for, Id
very much appreciate it. Thanks

well sorry there fanmap - but I don't think you're going to
be able to get this to work. here's why: the link points to a php
file - which gathers dynamic info from a DB - the return from the
php is generating a string that is based on the DOM and
'constructs' a javascript method that in turn writes to the html
document. although we can embed html into a textField in Flash
there are a limited number of supported html tags - and JS methods
will not operate internally. in addition, (i'm not certain someone
correct this if i'm off) there's no way to 'change' the output of
the php call, therefore you will not be able to read the return
because it is designed to use the DOM and write solely to the
current document. Even if you were to access the JS method from the
swf file (which one can) it will still only write the content of
the php return to the html document - and the output is not
compatible with the textField class.

Loading data from text file into ListBox

I have data in a text file that I want to load into a
listbox... I have fully mastered handling strings and arrays so I'm
going to need some help...
I was wondering how do I get flash to load a text file that
contains the data below.. and display it line for line like I want
it to list down the component
"Launch;7.1.7.6"
"Engine;7.1.7.6"
"OSX;7.0.0.2" (or something close to that)
and I was wondering how do i just get it to take it fromt he
file.. line for line from where it says exeversion in the file and
list it in the listbox...
I'm really thankful to anybody that helps.
Data in text file:
quote:
exeversion=Launch;7.1.7.6;
exeversion=Engine;7.1.7.6;
exeversion=LinuxX86;7.0.0.2;

exeversion=Config;7.1.7.6;
exeversion=UI;7.1.7.7;

nobody cna help me? i really need to know or have a tutorial
or something so i can learn from it... i really appreciate anyone

Read and write Values from Configuration File in BizTalk

There is a requirement where Biz talk orchestration read the value dynamically from Config Store.After some process updating the value in config store.
I though to use SQL Server and create one table with single column.Biztalk will call the Storeproc to get the value and similary for update system will call another SP.
Instead of using SQL Server DB is there option to implement this requirement like app.config,BTSsvcxxexe.config ,SSO Config store etc.
If multi-users access the value from Config store and try to update ,how to handle lock mechanism.

Hi BizQ,
Refrain from using BTSConfig file or any custom config file if you have a requirement to update the data. Modifying a
configuration file at runtime can cause some nasty, unexpected behavior inside your application if it's not managed properly.
I would suggest you to use Custom DB or SSO Database in this case.
Both have their Pros and Cons.
SSO Database:
You get out of the box encryption
It is a central store which will service all BizTalk servers within your group
SSO implements a caching mechanism internally for the data
Custom DB:
By storing the configuration in the database you don’t have to worry about consistency of data across servers like you would with a config file.
Cache needs to be implemented by program to avoid delays in reading from physical file.
In your case I recommend to go with SSO DB as in terms of storing custom configuration data in SSO for End Point/Application
specific information and credentials and potentially configuration information which you also need to write and update at runtime from your code or via an administrator.
You can use Richard Seroter's tool to store values as "Config Store" in SSO database and then write a .net helper
utility to retrieve it using SSOConfigStore class. It has method GetConfigInfo and you need to pass application name with other parameters. It returns ConfigurationPropertyBag from where you can read property name and values.

Problem in reading Sql server data from text file.

I am selecting record from sql server 2005 and save the result in text file.
The text file contains , delimiter.
I am reading same txt file from java & insert into database.
But it shows "��S and box like characters along with original text.
Regards
Joe

I also tried a lot for this. And didn't want to do copy paste for all .sql files. Finally the files could be read as is the clue is to read the file using UTF-16 format like
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis,Charset.forName("UTF-16")));
I guess it would help and save work to copy paste text to other files and resaving it!

Problem reading external HTML format from text file

I have a text file containing html formatted text which I try to get into a textfield.
All works fine locally and even on my localhost test server, but when uploading to the real server - I get a blank.
Anyone have any ideas? THANKS
The text file :
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Some text here</TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">One more line</TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">And more text here</TEXTFORMAT>
and the AS code in the movie:
viewData.onPress = function() {
//get text
loadText()
var tz
function loadText() {
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//trace(this.toString())
mytext.htmlText= this.t2;
} else {
//trace("Error loading/parsing LoadVars.");
my_lv.load("myfile.txt");

Thanks kglad, I did it and it made me find the real problem:
The text file is generated by PHP script that gets an html formated text from flash (it is an online editing part of an application):
the AS code to call the php:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.t1 = "&t2="+editor.t1.htmlText+"&";
send_lv.sendAndLoad("write.php", res_lv, "POST");
the PHP:
<?php
$mydata = $_POST["t1"];
$myFile = "recipe.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $mydata);
fclose($fh);
print "&done=done";
?>
From some reason the online server adds \ before any " , but WAMP doesn't.
here is the text generated on localhost (WAMP)
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">local text</TEXTFORMAT>&
online server:
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=\"2\">online text</TEXTFORMAT>&
I know its not a Flash problem now, but do you have any idea?
Thanks
