Save Appleworks Database as Text File

I'm trying to save an Appleworks 6 database as a text file so that I can import into Microsoft Access on my PC. When I go to file>save as in Appleworks it only lists Appleworks 6, 5 and ClarisWorks as file format options. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Any tips on how to convert this to PC Access database would be awesome as well. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The "has been deleted" error isn't actually related to saving. AppleWorks doesn't "understand" OS X well & can give some strange error messages. Although I've only gotten this message when I've had AppleWorks 6 open in both Classic & OS X at the same time on previous Macs, others get it like you with no specific cause. It usually is fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions and deleting the AppleWorks 6 preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences. Neither permissions or preferences are replaced or fixed with installation.
It would have been best for you to have started a new topic as your problem isn't not having the option to save as text, but not being able to save in any format.

Addressing a database or text file

Does anybody know what would be the soloution of addressing a database or text file and creating a folder for each entry - I work with 200 people who all need a folder to place work but obviously wanna sus a short cut!
Help!

Do you mean you want to extract a folder path from lines in a text file and create a folder from that path?
You would have to paste a few lines from the file.

How to make the Open/Save dialogue download the text file instead of JSP

I am currently coding on a JSP program, which searches the database and writes the resultset into a file on the server, and then allows the client to download this tab delimited text file onto their local machine. But I met a problem, when the default Open or Save dialogue appears, it shows that it's trying to download the running JSP file from my local host instead of the newly-created text file. Despite this, when I click OK to either Open or Save the file, a warning dialogue will appear saying: The explorer cann't download this file, it's unable to find this internet site or something like that. I get no error message from the server but I was always told that Javax.servlet.ServletException: getWriter() was already called. What does this mean?
I guess maybe this is caused by the mix use of outputStreams in my program. I don't know if there is a way to directly read the resultset from the database and then send it through outputStream to the client. My solution is: first create a file on the server to hold the resultset, and then output this file to the client. I did all these in one JSP program: Create file on the server, search database, and then read file and output the contents to client. Is this correct? I attached my code, please feel free to correct any of my mistake? Thanks!

Thanks. I believe something wrong with this statement
in my program:
You are correct there is something wrong with this statement. Seeing how you are doing this in a jsp, not really what they're made for but thats another topic, the output stream has already been called. When a jsp gets compiled it creates a few implicit objects, one of them being the outputstream out, and it does this by calling the response.getWriter(). getWriter or getOutputStream can only be called once, other wise you will get the exception you are experiencing. This is for both methods as well, seeing how the jsp compiles and calls getWriter means that you cannot call getOutputStream. Calling one makes the other throw the exception if called as well. As far as the filename problem in the browser goes I'm guessing that it's in IE. I've had some problems before when I had to send files to the browser through a servlet and remember having to set an inline attribute of some sort in the content-dis header inorder to get IE to see the real filename. The best way to solve this is to get the orielly file package and use that. It is very easy to use and understand and does all of this for you already. Plus it's free. Cant beat that.
ServletOutputStream outs =
response.getOutputStream();
because I put a lot of printout statement within my
code, and the program stops to print out exactly
before the above statement. And then I get the
following message, which repeats several times:
ServletExec: caught exception -
javax.servlet.ServletException: getWriter() was
already called.

Database or text file

Since I was able to get my first question answered so quicky (thanks again), I wonder if I could get an opinion from the experienced programmers here.
I am creating a computer forensics application to verify file signatures found in the header , to the extension. For example, a .pdf file has a hex file signature of 25 50 44 46, a .com file has a signature of 4d 5a, etc. Each file type has it's own file signature.
My question is two-fold. First, what would be considered an optimal means of storing and accessing the data for each file type? Second, what would be the optimal means for adding new data?
With my limited knowledge, I have two means avaialable. One would be to create a text file with the necessary information. Then all I would need to do is find the correct string, and parse the information necessary to make the correction. My other thought was to make an individual class for each type of file, and add classes as necessary. Since each type of file has a differnt signature, and it's found in different places in the header, and even sometimes skips spaces, essentially each type has to be handled a little differently. Then I would just need to constructors to access the proper class.
Any thoughts?

database seems as too much for your problem, serarching the
text file for each entry seems very resource/time consuming.
I would propouse making a Hashtable with the extension
as a key, and the signature as the value, and then having a
loadHashtable and a saveHashtable method so you would just have to
create the hashtable when you start your app and save it when you end it:
class FileHeader{
String extension,hex_signature;
public FileHeader(String ext,String hex_sig){
extension = ext;
hex_sig = hex_signature;
//other methods
public String getExtension(){
return extension;
public String getSignature(){
return hex_signature;
public class MyApp{
java.util.Hashtable files_hash;
public MyApp(){
files_hash=new java.util.Hashtable();
loadHashtable();
public void loadHashtable(){
//load the hashtable with FileHeader objects containing every filetype
public void saveHashtable(){
//save all the extension,signature pairs in a file
public boolean checkSignature(String extension,String proposed_signature){
FileHeader file = (FileHeader) files_hash.get(extension);
return file.getSignature().equals(proposed_signature);

How to save input from a text file in to array

I got this assignment, and almost have no clue, and my teacher doesn't even teaches us anything
This is what i am suppose to do
5. The program must store the following data about each student in this Talent Show:
* The student's name (store as a String)
* The student's average time score [only for the events they competed in] (store as a Double)
Note: Some of the data comes directly from the text file, and some of the data must be calculated from the data that is read from the file.
6. The program must search through all of the student's scores to find the student who has the minumum average time of all students.
7. You must calculate how many events each student played. Zero values are not counted.
8. You must then generate a report on the screen that prints out
* the total number of students in the competition,
* the winning student's ...
o name
o times
o average time (rounded to one decimal places)
Sample output
btw this is the data file

Save a report (or text file) in pdf format?

Hi,
I like to save a kind of log file in a non changeable format like pdf.
I'm using the DSC module under LabVIEW are there some possibilities?
Or is there a chance to save text file into a postscript file?
Thanks for help,
martin

Hallo Martin,
to be able to write to a PDF file you need some extra software that is able to create those files.
Most of those programs are installing themselves as printer drivers, so if you want to wrate a table into a pdf file you will have to create a report and print it. LabVIEW insrtalls a couple of exaples regarding report generation, online I found an example for "printing" the frontpanel screen into a PDF.

Save tree structure to text file and load textfile to another tree control

I'm able to save the structure and data to a text file, thanks to the "save tree structure to textfile" info found on this msg board, but can't seem to load the complete tree structure data from the text file into another tree. I've only been able to load parent data but can't get the hierarchy of the tree with the indents and child data to work.
Thanks

Thanks Tanya,
However, I'm still stumped on how to copy (from text file) to other columns in the tree (from one tree to another). I can only get the first column to load.
I've attached my working VI and a textfile that I use to load into the "User list" tree.

Text file being overwrite when another info is save in he same text file

At first, the text file is use for saving user information but after that when i want to save more thing in the same text file, the user infomration is being overwite. How can prevent the original message from being overwite?

When you create the CFile/CNiFile object to write to the file, use the CFile::modeNoTruncate flag to indicate that you want to open the file as an existing file and that you don't want the file to be truncated to 0 length. For more information, see documentation for the CFile flags.

Then we will be glad to help you get you unstuck. If we just give you an answer, you will learn nothing.
As far as writing to a text file, look in the File I/O palette for the Write to Text File primitive. Also, if you go to Help->Find Examples... and do a search for "text file" you will get some examples of how to use it.

Nokia e63 save email attachment as text file

When I receive email with text document attached and select save, it is always saved in office notes. While this is probably a reasonable thing to do, the problem is that I cannot find the saved file using file manager. So this text document becomes unavailable for other installed programs. Answers to following questions would help mightily:
1. How to save email attachment to specified folder (any attachment)?
2. How to save note from Menu->Office->Notes to some specified folder?
3. Where Menu->Office->Notes stores the notes? (Active Notes stores them in folder called ActiveNotes in root folder)
4. Is it possible to remove this program, since its features are completely covered by Active notes?

The email client saves attachments to the folder Others if you choose 'save' from the menu. Notes cannot be individually accessed, they're a some kind of database hidden deep into your phone. To save your note to some folder the only thing you can do is copy and paste it to Quick Office and save it from there.
You can't remove the Notes program. I've moved all my notes to Active Notes and use the memory card to store them. As you said, Active Notes does all that Notes does, and more. Notes just starts up a few milliseconds faster

Can I save data to a text file without the browser?

Hello Everyone,
I have a stand alone application that would run without a
browser on desktop. I would like to write data to a text or
database (MYSQL/PHP). Would it be possible for me to extend this
functionality to a AS3 Stand Alone Application which would be
strictly running on desktop?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Look into AIR. It has more capabilities than Flash regarding

How do I save Appleworks databases and documents when I upgrade to Maverick?

I have a lot of databases and documents in Appleworks. How can I access them if I upgrade to Maverick?

As of Lion (10.7) the PowerPC compatibility "Rosetta" utility is no longer supported by Apple. So PowerPC programs such as AppleWorks no longer work.
You can run Snow Leopard (10.6) on an external drive or on a partition on your internal drive to continue running PowerPC programs under the Rosetta utility. Using the Startup Manager http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310 you would boot Snow Leopard to run the PowerPC applications and then reboot a newer OS (10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) to run normally.
If you will be using the PowerPC applications often and you want to run them on Snow Leopard at the same time you run a newer operating system, then you can use Parallels. You need to call Apple to order it. You need the Snow Leopard Server version to use it with Parallels.

Saving an AppleWorks database file as text

I could have sworn that I had success last week opening an AppleWorks database file, choosing "Save As..." and then saving my database as a text file. However, I am trying to do this right now, and "text" is not available as an option when I choose "Save As..." I'm starting to wonder if maybe I am mistaken and that I was never able to do this. I have read several forum posts where folks have made reference to "save your database as text," but I'm starting to doubt that this can be done. If an AppleWorks database CANNOT be saved as text, then I am stunned. I recently bought FileMaker Pro 8.5, and I would be absolutely bewildered if there was no way to move an AppleWorks database over to FileMaker. Converting to text isn't pretty, but at least that would work. But is it true that I am not able to save an AppleWorks database as text? Is there any other way to move data from an AppleWorks database file to FileMaker?

Hello
Saving as text is the only way to transfert AW6 data to FileMaker.
As you are unable to do that, I assumes that you moved AppleWorks out of its standard folder where it must stay with its companions folders:
Starting Points
AppleWorks Essentials
The translators are stored in "AppleWorks Essentials:Translators" folder.
If you moved the app, it would be unable to find (and use) these translators.
I wish to add that I don't like this formulae.
When I need to save a database as a text file, I activate a layout containing all the fields (at least all those which are not calculated ones.
I select Options > Show all records then, I copy all ans paste into a new WP documentwhich I save as an ASCII file.
Doing that,
-- I keep the contents of longtext fields (1004 characters)
-- I keep the comma which is used in france as decimal separator (it is replaced by a period when I save directly as a text file).
Now, Santa Claus is tired and leaves you to sleep;-)
