Removing New Line Character in Input file

Hi Experts,
I Have a question about "New Line Character". I searched in SDN before posting this thread, But I didn't get answer.
Question:
Let me say my Client requirement first. After loading the data(Millions of Records) into SAP through LSMW, they asked write a program for validation of those loaded records based on I/P file. I wrote a program and It is success full.
But, the problem is when file is in Application server in 'BIN' format, a new line character(#) is created. While comparing the last record of each line, it doesn't match. How to remove this new line character(#) in I/P file for each line of record? Please see the below records for example
PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1870|AR| #
PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1876|AR| #
BOX 7407 PRINCETON|   |085437407|US|NJ#
5756 2 A   CAPITAL FEDERAL|   |1431|AR|00#
Note: This New line character is not matching the string "#".
Please help me guys, so many objects are related with this concept. I appreciate quick response. Please.
Thanks
Sai

Hi Arun, Ravi,
I wrote the code like this, here 'fil_curre' is currency key.
IF <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre CS cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
          REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
                                        IN <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre WITH ''.
        ENDIF.
While executing the code, the cursor here, simply jumps to next step.
Any enhancements to this code or any new ideas?
Thanks
Sai

How to remove new line character from query output?

Hi,
How to remove new line character from query output?
have tried select replace(column_name, CHR(10), ' ') from table_name.
Edited by: GreenHorn on Sep 11, 2008 12:53 AM

Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13||chr(10) Unix uses only one character chr(10).
The new line character(s) may be OS-dependent.
You could consider both with:
replace(replace(column_name, CHR(13)||CHR(10), ' '),CHR(10),' ')

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks
static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
          BufferedWriter out = null;
          BufferedReader in = null;
          File fr = null;
          int get_count = 0;
          try     {
          if(new File(filepath).exists())

     else{
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filepath));
     out.write("0");
            out.close();
               }          //Reading of the row count file ended.
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               try{               if (in != null) {
                         in.close();
          if (out != null) {
                         out.close();
          catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          return get_count;
     }

You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "")

New-line Character for a file opened in BINARY mode for O/P

Can anybody please tell me how to put a new-line charcter for each record in a file opened in Binary mode for O/p. I cant use text mode for other reasons in my scenario.
DATA: l_outdata TYPE xstring.
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
Application logic to populate l_outdata
TRANSFER l_outdata TO file.
Any help, or attempt towards it will be duely rewarded,
Thanks in advance,
Sujit.

hi sujit,
1. how to put a new-line charcter for each record
but how will you decide, at which POSITION,
to put the new line character, if u have opened the file in binary mode.
2. However, if u know the exact positions(s),
u can use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF
to insert the new line character,

Removing new line character in jdk 1.2

I am currently using replaceAll("\n", "") to remove new line characters in an string. But this works only for 1.4 version, I know need to have this work on 1.2 and 1.3.
Is there an alternate method that I can use?

If the string come from a file that's in the native text format for that platform, then replaceAll(System.getProperty("line.separator", "") will work.
This won't work, however, if you, say, create a text file on windows and the read it on Unix without translating the EOL characters.
If you can't be certain that the file is in the format that matches the current platform, three options pop to mind:
* Run over the String, char by char, copying all chars to a new String except \r and \n.
* Use two replaceAll calls--one with \r and one with \n.
* Dump the String into a StringReader, then wrap the StringReader in a BufferedReader. Call readLine() on the BufferedReader in a loop, concatenating the results in a StringBuffer as you go.

New line character in File adapter

I am having a receiver file adapter which generates files with multiple lines.
My problem is when the target file is opened in notepad there is no line break and the lines comes as continous string with small rectangle as separator.This fails the target upload program.
When I remove those small squares in notepad and hit enter and then upload it gets uploaded successfully.
Is there any way to have line break so that new line will be generated each time (the documenation says the by-default it adds new line character then why in notepad it opens like a continous string?)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev

Hello
I know by default File Adapter value is line break. But if I open that generated file in notepad, the record does'nt appear on the new line. Instead at the end of each line there is special character added at the end of each record. When I hit enter and deletes that special character and then try to load that file it gets loaded successfully.
So my problem is how to generate the file will give record on the new line. I tried to give 'nl' as endSeparator.
How to give hexadecimal values? I tried giving '0xHH' but that gives error in File Adapter
"Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "HH"
Thanks in advance.

FileUtilsService Write String New Line Character

Hi All,
SITUATION:
Writing a custom log file using the Write String service operation.
Everytime an event occurs, i want to insert a new line, with date time stamp, details etc.
PROBLEM:
In the "value" property of the "write string" service operation... im inputting my relevant data but dont know how to indicate a new line
WHAT I TRIED:
I've tried every form of new line character i know: \n, \r, <BR>, \u0000a, \u0000d, ACSII, CRLF, etc, etc... none of them works.
WHAT I FEAR:
the exact same situation as http://forums.adobe.com/message/2780658#2780658 ... with a fairly definite answer
I'm hoping i dont have to go this LONG ugly scary route.
WAY FORWARD:
Your thoughts, answers, suggestions....
Thanking you all in advance.

if going the "executeScript" way....
this code worked for me:
===========================
import java.lang.String;
String vLogEntry = patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/@logEntry");
String vLogEntry = vLogEntry + " \r\n";
patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/@logEntry", vLogEntry);

New-line character in stacked message pop-up

I have run into a brick wall with this situation--
Our clients are running Client/Server Forms 6i, and Web Forms 6i using Patch 10. They are about to upgrade web forms to the latest version 9.0.4.1.0 (10g).
We have a few PLL routines that use the stacked message method: Message('text here'); Message(' ',no_acknowledge);to display important error messages to the user. It is especially useful to display the multiple ORA- errors when an unexpected server error occurs.
Throughout all versions of Client/Server forms, and even in our old version of Web forms, I can use chr(10) or another character to start each error message on a new line.
Somewhere after Patch 10, Oracle has removed that capability. Instead, pop-up stacked messages word-wrap into a multi-line message, and display the new-line character as a box indicating an unprintable character. Our nicely formatted messages are a mess!
I have been told I should use an alert, which supports chr(10) as the new line. However, this is a PLL routine, and I would have to create an alert in hundreds of forms just to accommodate this short-sightedness. The changes and subsequent testing and release issues make this an unworkable solution.
I am clueless as to why this feature would be removed. Oracle support is treating it as an enhancement request. Any ideas?

Steve,
If you really have hundreeds of forms ... create one more - to display your messages. Make it modal and nice looking. Call it through the library. Design it to work both as [OK] message and as an users responce [Yes]/[No]/[Cancel].
And honestly - I don't think message(); message() is the best way to display messages. Whoever designed the application should've think about alerts with standartized naming convention, so they can be handled easily through the PLL.

New line character and carriage return in XML, please help, thanks

In XML, "
" is only the new line character. I have tried that. If you put that in your XML, for example:
<tag>line1
line2
line3</tag>
You will get the output as follow:
line1
____line2
________line3
(where ___ represents space)
The output that I want is actually like:
line1
line2
line3
So I would like to ask how I can do this.
Thanks,
Jackie

while parsing your XML file you can directly suppress these newline and similar things in characters() method of SAX parser.
you can opt to do nothing when you encounter them else if it is normal character then use it to print it.

Need help in how to print new line character in unix using java

Hi All,
I use the printstream class to print some line in a text using java.
here is the code:
   FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
        PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                p.print("\t");
                p.print(date);
                p.print("\t\t");
                p.print(RecCount);
                p.println("\n");when i use this and output of this character in windows is
date RecCount
22-07-2007 23456
when i use the same code in unix it shows the following output:
date RecCount[]22-07-2007
it wont accept the new line character could any one give me an idea to solve this problem.

PrintStream has a println() method. Use that. Or System.getProperty("line.separator").
Because a newline char doesn't necessarily specify a line break. It's system-dependent.

ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

Hi Everyone,
Im using Jdev 11G.
i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
Thank you.

Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as & To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

The problem was another process that automatically was replacing "\r\n" form "\n" and I don�t know it.
All works fine.
