... reading text file to load data

Hi all.
we have a requirement, acc to which we need to read a few tab delimited text file into oracle tables on daily bases.
i was trying to read it through the utl_file procedure, but while working i found out that there is a limitation in utl_file ... you can only read a complete line, and i had no clue how to use the delimiter to read each column and insert into database.
Another option i have is to use External table, use these text file as external table and insert data into oracle tables.
There is one problem where i got stuck, probably due to inexperience.
One of the files we recieve is like .
SID, teacher1_Name, teacher1_age, teacher1_sex,teacher2_name,teacher2_age, teacher2_sex......
while the table structure is like
SID Teacher_name, age sex .... ............
Now how can i insert the values for teacher1_age into age column...
so that my db table will be filled like
S1 teacher1_name teacher1_age teacher1_sex
S1 teacher2_name teacher2_age teacher2_sex
Please also suggest that is my method correct for reading these file by making them external tables and then inserting into our db tables.
The reason i cant keep the files is that the data comes daily with changed values, so we need to read them daily and then delete or replace with the new one coming with same name and struture the next day..
Regards

The ticker symbol in above file is max of 19 bytes. The software I use cannot convert this data, as it has a restriction of 14 bytes for ticker field.
I want to reduce the ticker field to 14 bytes using below logic & rewrite the modified symbol in the same column/file.
GOOG140110P01165000 - Ticker explanation is as shown below
Symbol : GOOG ( 4 bytes)
Year : 14 ( 2 bytes)
Month : 01 ( 2 bytes)
Date : 10 ( 2 bytes)
Call/Put : C or P ( 1 byte)
Strike : 01165 ( 5 bytes )
Strike (Decimal) : 000 ( 3 bytes)
Since they total to 19 bytes,my requirement is to bring down the ticker field size to 14 bytes using below formula.
1) Reduce year field to 1 byte i.e. 14 can be kept as 4
2) Strike ( Decimal) can be reduced to 1 byte ( drop the ending 2 bytes)
3) Month column ( 2 bytes) & call/put ( 1 byte) can be reduced to 1 byte ( saving of 2 bytes) by replacing 01 & C combination with A , 01 & P combination with B so on as mentioned below.
Month( 2 bytes)
Call/Put ( 1 byte)
Replace with
01
C
A
01
P
B
02
C
C
02
P
D
03
C
E
03
P
F
04
C
G
04
P
H
05
C
I
05
P
J
06
C
K
06
P
L
07
C
M
07
P
N
08
C
O
08
P
P
09
C
Q
09
P
R
10
C
S
10
P
T
11
C
U
11
P
V
12
C
W
12
P
X
So the modified ticker will look like GOOG4B10011650
GOOG - symbol
4 - year which is 2014 in this case
B- 01 ( jan) & Put (P) is replaced with letter B
10 - Date
01165 - Strike price
0 - Decimal portion of strike price
The output file should look like below.
<name>,<ticker>,<date>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<vol>,<oi>
GOOG 10-Jan-2014 1165 Put,GOOG410B011650,20140114,32.9,32.9,32.9,32.9,0,0
Thank you for your inputs with this request.

Hi Neothwin,
Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate it. My file contains a header record.
I ran the conversion, it converts very fast.
I noticed the decimal portion of strike is lost in the conversion. AAL140110C00023500 must be converted as AAL4A1000235 but instead its showing as AAL4A10000230 ( last byte
should be 5 but it shows as 0)
Also I noticed it puts double quotes ('') in front of every column. I tried to drop ' in the code but it complains.
Also, instead of giving file name in the shell script , is it possible to go thru all files in a folder and convert them? I'm new to this scripting/programming sorry if I ask you the basic questions. Thank you so much for sparing your valuable time on this
request. Have a great day !

Read Text file and count occurences of certain string

Hello,
I have a text file with lines of data in it. I would like to read this text file and count how many lines match a certain string of text.
For example my text file has this data in it.
dog,blue,big
dog,red,small
dog,blue,big
cat,blue,big
If the certain string of text is "dog,blue,big" then the count would return "2".

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module? I can not create a text file and read it.
I attach my code here.
Attachments:
File_IO.vi ‏82 KB

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

How can FMS create a text file and write data into it in the Server application folders?

Recently, I writed a programe about creating a text file and writing data into it in the server application folder. My code is as following:
           var fileObj = new File("/MyApp/test.txt");
           if( fileObj != null)
                  if(fileObj.open( "text", "append"))
                        fileObj.write( "                                                      ———— Chat Info Backup ————\r\n" );
                        fileObj.close( );
                        trace("Chat info backup document :" + fileObj.name + " has been created successfully!");
But when I run it, FMS throw the error as following: File operation open failed ; TypeError: fileObj has no properties.
Can you help me ? Thanks in advance.
Supplement: The text file named test.txt doesn't exist before create the fileObj, an instance of File Class.

Is MyApp the name of the application directory, or is it a child of the application directory? If myApp is the app name, just use test.txt as the path flag in the file constructor.

To read text file using utl_file

I would like to read test_file_out.txt which is in c:\temp folder.
create or replace create or replace directory dir_temp as 'c:\temp';
grant read, write on directory dir_temp to system;
then when i execute the below code i get the error .
// to read text file using utl_file
DECLARE
FileIn UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_sql VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
FileIn := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('DIR_TEMP', 'test_file_out.txt', 'R');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE (FileIn, v_sql);
dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (FileIn);
END;
ERROR:
invalid file operation
i would like to use ult_file only and also can you let me know to read the text file and place its contents in tmp_emp table?

Are you trying to read the contents of the file into the local variable? Or write the contents of the local variable to the file?
Your text talks about reading the file. And you open the file in read mode. But then you call the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE method which, as SomeoneElse points out, attempts to write data to the file. Since the file is open in read-only mode, you cannot write to the file.
If the goal is really to read from the file, replace the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE calls with UTL_FILE.GET_LINE. If the goal is really to write to the file, you'll need to open the file in write mode ('W' rather than 'R' in the FOPEN call).

How to read text file efficiently?

I use CharBuffer to read text file:
private List<String> load() throws IOException {
        final String B = "<BODY>";
        final String E = "</BODY>";
        List<String> docs = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (File file : files) {
            FileReader reader = new FileReader(file);
            CharBuffer buffer = CharBuffer.allocate(BSIZE);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            while (reader.read(buffer) != -1) {
                char[] dst = new char[buffer.length()];
                buffer.get(dst);
                sb.append(dst);
                buffer.clear();
            String s = sb.toString();
            System.out.println(file + ": " + s.length());
            int start = 0;
            int i, j;
            while ((i = s.indexOf(B, start)) != -1) {
                j = s.indexOf(E, i + B.length());
                docs.add(s.substring(i + B.length(), j));
                start = j + E.length();
                //System.out.printf("%d %d %d%n", i, j, start);
        return docs;
    }The file size is 1324350, but the code say it is 772802.
What's wrong with this code?
I want to read text file as quickly as possible.
Is this code the right way to read file?
Should I use FileReader or nio Channel and ByteBuffer?
Any suggestions are welcome!

You are reading the file as if it were encoded in UTF-16. Each character uses two bytes so you have half the number of characters as you had bytes.
The following code reads an entire file in one hit.
    public static String readText(File file) throws IOException {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
        DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
        try {
            dis.readFully(bytes);
        } finally {
            dis.close();
        return new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); // or whatever your file encoding is.
    }But you can still have less characters than bytes if there are any non ASCII-7 characters.

Create a Object[][] data which can read text file.Then do that. Create the 2D array and store the data in it.
Also when posting code use code tags. Paste code, highlight it and click CODE button.

Reading text file to JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm trying to read text file to JEditorPane and it works but first line is always missing. Here is the code for reading:
try {
   in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePathIn));
   while ((lineIn = in.readLine()) != null) {
        editorPane.read(in, new Object());
} catch (IOException ie)...Any suggestions?

in.readLine is changing the input stream position.
Do this instead:
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filePathIn);
while (in.available() != 0)
    editorPane.read(in, new Object());

Hello Francois,
You have a solution for this problem?
I have a problem like this. While reading a text file, such as size of 7MB, long, between 15-30 minutes.
See...
declare
     arq client_text_io.file_type;
     linha varchar2(800);
     v_total number := 0;
     v_icms number := 0;
begin
:valor_total := 0;
:valor_icms := 0;
     arq := client_text_io.fopen(:arquivo,'r');
     loop
     client_text_io.get_line(arq,linha);
     if substr(linha,1,1) = '1' then
          v_total := v_total + (to_number(substr(linha,302,13))/100);
          v_icms := v_icms + (to_number(substr(linha,262,13))/100);
     end if;
     end loop;
     client_text_io.fclose(arq);
     exception
          when no_data_found then
          :valor_total := v_total;
          :valor_icms := v_icms;

Check the code below. This help you to know how to read the text file content line by line. You can display as you require.
IUser user = WPUMFactory.getServiceUserFactory().getServiceUser("cmadmin_service");
IResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(user);
String filePath = "/documents/....";
RID rid = RID.getRID(filePath);
IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid,resourceContext);
InputStream inputStream = resource.getContent().getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = reader.readLine();
while(line!=null) {
line = reader.readLine();
//You can append in string buffer to get file content as string object//

How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname?

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
<p>1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?
<p>2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)
<p>Please help!
<p>sorry for the bad english

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
The hostname is server, not file.
2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is
