Replace comma (delimiter) by tab.

HI..
IN MY PROGRAM I HAVE COCATENATED ALL THE WERKS(PLANTS) FOR A GIVEN MATNR INTO A SINGLE STRING VARIABLE. I WANT TO REPLACE ALL MY COMMAS BY TAB, SO THAT WHEN I DOWNLOAD IT USING GUI DOWNLOAD I WOULD GET DIFFERENT COLOUMNS IN THE EXCEL SHEET.
IS THERE ANY FUNCTION MODULE FOR IT????
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DECIDE THE NUMBER OF COLOUMNS AND THIER TYPE DYNAMICALLY FOR AN INTERNAL TABLE???
REGARDS.
SIDDHESH.

Hi,
You have an option in the program itself, there is no need to call a Function module, Presds the Find button(Binacular) and there you have an option to replace, so give the replace option there.
For internal table, you need to create a Dynamic internal table, to know this, please search the forum, you will find lot of answers

Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

Hi mha007,
Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
Firefox is my preferred and default browser.
========
surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

SSIS importing comma delimited with double quote text qualifier - Works in VS - SQL Job ignores text qualifier and fails (truncation)

I've created an SSIS package to import a comma delimited file (csv) with double quotes for a text qualifier ("). Some of the fields contain the delimiter inside the qualified text. An example row is:
15,"Doe, John",IS2,Alabama
In SSIS I've specified the text qualifier as ". The sample output in the connection manager looks great. The package runs perfectly from VS and when manually executed on the SSIS server itself. The problem comes when I schedule the package to run via SQL
job. At this point the package ignores the text qualifier, and in doing so pushes half of a field into the next available column. But instead of having too many columns, it concatenates the last 2 columns ignoring the delimiter. For example (pipes are fields):
15|"Doe| John"|IS2,Alabama
So the failure happens when the last half of a field is too large to fit into the next available field. In the case above _John" is 6 characters where the IS2 field is char(3). This would cause a truncation failure, which is the error I receive from the
job history.
To further test this I created a failure flow in my data flow to capture the records failing to be pulled from the source csv. Out of ~5000 records, ~1200 are failing, and every one of the failures has a comma delimiter inside the quoted text with a 'split'
length greater than the next ordinal field. The ones without the comma were inserted as normal and records where the split fit into the next ordinal column where also imported, with the last field being concatenated w/delimiter. Example records when selected
from table:
25|"Allan Percone Trucking"|GI6|California --Imported as intended
36|"Renolds| J."|UI6,Colorado --Field position offset by 1 to right - Last field overloaded
To further ensure this is the problem, I changed the csv file and flat file connection manager to pipe delimited, and sure enough every record makes it in perfectly from the SQL job execution.
I've tried comma delimited on the following set ups. Each set up failed.
SSIS Server 2008 R2 RTM
DB Server 2008 RTM
DB Compat 80
SSIS Server 2008 R2 RTM
DB Server 2008 R2 RTM

Since a lot of our data comes in via comma delimited flat files, I really need a fix for this. If not I'll have to rebuild all my files when I import them to use pipe delimiters instaed of commas. I'd like to avoid the extra processing overhead if possible.
Also, is this a known bug? If so can someone point me to the posting of said bug?
Edit: I can't ask the vendor to change the format to pipe delimited because it comes from a federal government site.

Just wanted to share my experience of this for anyone else since I wasted a morning on it today.
I encountered the same problem where I could run the package fine on my machine but when I deployed to a server and ran the package via dtexec, the " delimeter was being replaced with _x0022_ and columns all slurped up together and overflowing columns/truncating
data etc.
Since I didn't want to manually hack the DTS XML and can't install updates, the solution I used was to set an expression on the textdelimiter field of the flat file connection with the value "\"" (a double quote). That way, even if the one stored in XML
gets bodged somewhere along the way, it is overridden with the correct value at run time. The package works fine everywhere now.

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.

Gui_download Comma delimited

Is there a way to create a comma delimited file using the GUI_Download. Its keeps coming out tab delimited.
Thanks

Sure, just declare a flat structure in your program.
data: itab type table of string.
data: xtab type string.
Then fill this internal table with data from another internal concatenating the fields .
loop at ianother.
   concatenate ianother-fld1
               ianother-fld2
               ianother-fld3
               ianother-fld4
                      into xtab separated by ','
append xtab to itab.
endloop.
Now just pass ITAB to the GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
Welcome to SDN.

Too many commas in my comma delimited list

I'm trying to merge several pdf files into one by using the cfpdf tag (action="merge"). In the source attribute, you can enter a comma delimited list of file paths to merge the pdf files together. I'm thinking that Adobe could have picked a better delimiter though because it breaks if there is a comma any one of the file names. I've tried using replace() to replace the commas in my filenames with chr(44) before passing it to the cfpdf tag, but it still breaks. Any ideas on how to accommodate this? I'm trying to prevent having to copy hundreds of files to a temp directory, then use the directory attribute instead, then delete the temp directory. That just seems like such a waste of resources...
Thanks!

cfpdfparam is a WIN! Thanks for the heads up, i had no idea that you could use the tag like that.
<cfpdf
action = "merge"
destination = "C:\Inetpub\mydir\secure\test\output_merge.pdf"
overwrite = "yes">
<cfpdfparam source = "C:\Inetpub\mydir\secure\test\0003. A-001 - Restaurant, Floor Plan.pdf">
<cfpdfparam source = "#expandPath('/secure/test/0001. G-001 - General.pdf')#">
<cfpdfparam source = "#expandPath('/secure/test/0002. G-101 - General Information.pdf')#"></cfpdf>
Works Great, Thanks!

Reading a comma delimited data stream

I need a clean, preferably simple way, to parse a comma delimited string that enters a local variable once a minute. The variable buffer needs to be cleared before the new string comes in. If you can help and have more questions about this I can send a detailed explanation. thanks in advance.
[email protected]

I placed my code inside a loop and have attached it. The data in the array is replaced every time that the function is called. You can see where I also added a step to reset the string. I am not clear what you mean by "clear what is not overwritten". Do you mean that the string length changes and you want to only display that amount of data? This example should do that. I added a random string length to show that behavior.
I feel like I am missing something about what you want. Do you have an example that shows what you are doing and you can point to where you wnat something different.

Comma Delimited Flat File

I have a comma delimited flat file. For example - "This,is,a,test" I want to read each word and perform something with the word in Business Logic Services. What is the best way to accomplish this?

In Business Logic, expand the XML Functions tab.
At the bottom you will see an action called: String List To Xml Parse
Use that action to parse the comma seperated items and then perform any logic required on the individual items.
What this action does is it places all the items in a Rowset/Row, Row, Row type format common to xMII.
Enjoy!

IPTC Keywords are not comma delimited?

I like the fact that I can now export my photos and get the keywords added to the IPTC keywords field in the JPG.
But! Why are the keywords not comma delimited? When I have used other programs (like Photoshop Elements 3) to add keywords, they are stored as comma delimited. But iPhoto just puts spaces between the keywords, and when I upload them to Flickr, they get treated as one multi-word tag instead of individual tags.
The IPTC specification I found says:
+2:25 Keywords+
+Repeatable, maximum 64 octets, consisting of graphic characters plus spaces.+
+Used to indicate specific information retrieval words.+
+Each keyword uses a single Keywords DataSet. Multiple keywords use multiple Keywords DataSets.+
Can this be fixed?

Brenda:
You'll have to request that at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Comma delimited report script

Hi All,
Is there an "unofficial" way to export a report script with comma as the delimiter?
We are trying to load data from Analytic Services 9.2 into Enterprise and need to automate the process. However this is proving difficult since the only delimiter seems to be a tab and we need a comma delimited file.
Thanks for your help.

Validating comma-delimited list for numeric entries

Hi!
I need to validate a comma-delimited list to make sure all the list items are numeric. I could do a cfloop to loop through the list, then an IsValid() to check each entry, but that seems cumbersome, so I was wondering if there was a better way.
Thanks!

I had the idea to just do a replace() to get rid of all the commas and treat the value as one big number. It seems to work.
True. That is a creative test. But what if the list begins with 0 or contains negative or decimal numbers?
If you must include those such eventualities, then you could extend the test to something like
<cftry>
<cfset myList="0,1,2,x">
<cfset maxNo=arrayMax(listToArray(myList))>

<cfcatch type="expression">
<cfoutput>#cfcatch.Detail#</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

Well if you want to spool query results to a file the first thing you need to do is write a query that actually works.
Why do you think a query like this is valid?
SELECT 'this, is, my, giant, string, of, columns, with, commas, in, between, each, word'
GROUP BY this, is, my, giant, stringYou only have one column in the result set but you are trying to group by three columns and none of them are even in the result set.
What's up with that?
You can only group by columns that are actually IN the result set.

Replace comma (delimiter) by tab.
