Replace excel file and close

Does anyone know how to replace an existing excel file without having to open the excel program?
I want to write data into the excel without having to open the excel program.
Thank you

Bus,
You can also use the write to "spreadsheet file.vi" and set the append parameter to false. If you specify a file that already exists, a dialog box will appear asking if you want to overwrite. Saying yes will overwrite the file. This process will allow you to replace an excel file without ever having opened excel.

1)Add jxl jar folder in the lib folder of ur project.
2)Go to properties of ur project and add jar to ur project.
3)Using the File upload ui ,browse and upload the file.
4)Write the read file in to ur server location using fileoutput stream.
5)then using code u can read the excelfile from the server location itself.
Here is the code:
IWDAttributeInfo attInfo =wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("upload");
binaryType=IWDModifiableBinaryTypeattInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
fileuploaded = binaryType.getFileName();
byte b[] = wdContext.currentContextElement().getUpload();
File filename =new File("
<Server name>\<folde name>\" + fileuploaded);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
out.write(b);
out.close();
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
e.printStackTrace();

How to read from excel file and write it using implicit jsp out object

our code is as below:Please give us proper solution.
we are reading from Excel file and writing in dynamicaly generated Excel file.it is writing but not as original excel sheet.we are using response.setContentType and response.setHeader for generating pop up for saveing the original file in to dynamically generated Excel file.
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<%
 //String dLoadFile = (String)request.getParameter("jspname1");
 String dLoadFile = "c:/purge_trns_nav.xls" ;
 File f = new File(dLoadFile);
 //set the content type(can be excel/word/powerpoint etc..)
 response.setContentType ("application/msexcel");
 //get the file name
 String name = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf("/") + 1,f.getName().length());
 //set the header and also the Name by which user will be prompted to save
 response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+name);
 //OPen an input stream to the file and post the file contents thru the
 //servlet output stream to the client m/c
 FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
 //ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
 int bit = 10;
 int i = 0;
 try {
 while (bit >= 0) {
 bit = in.read();
 out.write(bit) ;
} catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(System.out); }
 out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();
%>

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
 * @param args [0] = source filename
 * args [1] = destination filename
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 if (args.length != 2) {
 System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
 System.exit(1);
 File in = new File(args[0]);
 long fileLength = in.length();
 long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
 FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
 FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
 fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
 fis.close();
 fos.close();
 t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
 NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
 System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
 if (t > 0) {
 System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");
}

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.

Hi
Use Fm : ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE.
L_INTERN : internal table with your fields .
make sure that the fields in the Excel should be formatted (as numeric , characher ) depending upon the data types .
LOOP AT L_INTERN INTO WA_LINTERN .
 MOVE WA_LINTERN-COL TO L_INDEX.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT L_INDEX OF STRUCTURE WA_INREC TO <FS> .
 IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
 MOVE WA_LINTERN-VALUE TO <FS>.
 ENDIF.
 AT END OF ROW . "#EC *
 APPEND WA_INREC TO IT_DATA. "
 CLEAR WA_INREC.
 ENDAT.
 ENDLOOP.

Searching for a string in an excel file and return true if found.

How can I search for a string in an excel file and return true if found, its location and also a value.

The problem with searching an excel file is that it contains a header. It would be easiest if you just read the file into a LabVIEW array and search the array. This way you can also get the index and the value of the location.

Upload excel file and display content in sapui5 table

hi:all
how to upload excel files and display its contents in the view of sapui5 table ,then 'create ' these data into the abap database using odataservice.
Do you have any solutions ? I appreciate for your help.

Two possible way come to mind.
1. ADF DI (desktop integration): sorry, don't know enough about it to give a how to :-(
2. POI (http://poi.apache.org/) : open source project to read and write excel file with java. Using POI you can open the .xsl file, read it's contents and display it as af:table. For this you need to read the xsl into a data structure (this can be a temporary db table or a list of POJOs) and build a data control out of it. This you can drop on a page as table.

Read an excel file and convert to a 1-D array of long, 32-bit integer?

My vi right now reads an column of numbers as a 1-D array, but I need to input the numbers manually, and for what I'm trying to do, there could be anywhere between 100 to 500 numbers to input. I want the vi to be able to read the excel file and use that column of numbers for the rest, which the data type is long (32-bit integer).
I have an example vi that is able to get excel values, but the output data type is double (64-bit real).
I need to either be able to convert double(64-bit real) data to long (32-bit integer), or find another way to get the values from the excel file.

Just to expand on what GerdW is saying. There are many programs that hold exclusive access to a file. So if a file is opened in Excel, the LabVIEW cannot access the file.
What is the exact error code? Different error codes will point to different issues.
Make sure the csv file is exactly where you think it is and LabVIEW is pointing to the right place. (I'm just going through stupid things I have done)
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Parsing .xls(excel) file and creating a .xdat(xml) file out of it

Hi All,
need some tips on a task i am trying accomplish for some days now.
I have a excel file, in which I have 10 columns with 40-50 rows of data.
I have a xml structure in mind, in which I want to put all these data from excel file. But till now I haven't understood exactly how I should go about it step by step.
Should I first parse the excel file and save each row (with the column names) in a list, and then read through each row and insert them in the xml format i have planned?
And how do I open a .xdat data and tell my program to insert the data in the sequence of sets I want them to be saved?
I know it's a pretty newbie question ... but will appreciate any help and tips provided. Would help me a lot to learn this new type of task.
Thank you.
with best regards,
Newbie

If you are using JAXB you unmarshall to read the xml. Then you marshall to write.
So what you do is:
1) Unmarshall your xml document. This means you now have your xml as Java objects.
2) Read through the Java objects using loops, etc making any changes to the values. I think here you want to add values, so you can set your values
3) Now in memory you have your new xml thats been updated, so you can marshall it (save it)
I'd recommend a JAXB tutorial. But the basic steps are:
1) Create an xml file and insure its valid
2) Use a free online utility (http://www.hitsw.com/xml_utilites/) to convert the xml into an xml schema (xsd)
3) Use xjc from the jaxb jar and run it over the xml schema (the command i use is xjc myxmlfile.xsd -p com.example
4) Step 3 above creates all the java classes for you to use so then you can unmarshall. Process. Then marshall
This is just a high level. I might have missed something, but the jaxb tutorial is really good and that's how I learned the process.
