Tab Delimited error

Trying to open with Numbers a file exported to Excel from a web financial application I get the message: "This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different".
The file opens fine with Excel. The file opened with numbers shows formatting text, such as:
<td width="60" align="center" valign="bottom">EPS Rtg</td>

What you passed doesn't resemble to an Excel document or a tab separated value one but to a file describing in text mode the data formatting, maybe DIF or SYLK.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

Page and Tab create error

I am getting PAGE_CREATE error while adding a new page. On create new page, after filling page name & description it displays the error message below.
I am runing iAS9\Portal 3.0.8.9 on Win NT4.

Any suggestions on how to fix this (other than re-installing portal).

Well ... this appears to be a serious problem with the Portal as it renders it incapable of adding pages and tabs. I've tried reinstalling it on 3 different servers, used another instance of Oracle database, and the result is still the same. No installation errors, and suddenly after 7-10 days this error starts appearing.
Am I the only one experiencing this type of error? ...and can anyone offer\suggest ways to fix it?

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.12 - value modification during export in tab delimited format

Hi all,
we have noticed unproper value modification during export in tab delimited format.
Please find example below:
The proper value is 24150170000011615 (it is state register number of enterprise).
The wrong value is 24150170000011600.
Correct value:
http://s12.postimg.org/v2gpqqzgd/obiee_1.png
How do we export data from obiee:
http://s23.postimg.org/6k7dwiezf/obiee_2.png
Wrong value after export:
http://s22.postimg.org/qdgqgogn5/obiee_3.png
What should we do to fix it?

The bigger picture is as follows:
I have a button on my report that essentially should download the output of report to tab delimited text file. This button is integrated with a custom built class which has a main method. When I click on the button, the logic written in the main method gets executed.
In this method I generate my internal table and pass to cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download method with parameters mention above.
I try debugging but every thing seems to be working correct when sy-subrc = 0 through executable program and it does not enter into the download method logic when i do it through main method, instead sy-subrc is straight set to 6 (unknown error).

Pankaj.

Opening a tab delimited file and replacing a space

Hi,
I am trying to open a tab delimited file with 4 columns and corresponding values under it. If no value under the column, 0 should be replaced. I used the StringTokenizer and the split methods, but this doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?
E.g
Title1 Title2 Title3
4 7
5 2
SHould be like this:
Title1 Title2 Title3
4 0 7
0 5 2
Thanks..

The answer, however, is no. Java is a strongly typed
language; there is no predefined manner in which a
String object can be casted to an Integer object
because a String is not an Integer.
However, if you'd like to create an Integer based on
the contents of a String, you can pass the String to
the Integer.parseInt(String) method. That method
will do one of two things: return the Integer object
representing the integer contained within the String
(if the String represents an Integer) or throw a
NumberFormatException (if the String is not an
Integer).Hi,
Thanks tvynr for your reply. Ok first things, sorry, I had written that post in a hurry. Yes i dont usually put capital letters for my fields. Also i did mean using the add method. Not the get..
And yes I have tried various different type castings. Just to see if one of them would work. And yes i did try Integer.parseInt() by passing in the string to get back its contents as an integer. *And yes the String content is an integer.
Heres a snippet of my code -
 List ArrScore1 = new ArrayList(); //List to store Score in one Array
 List ArrScore2 = new ArrayList(); //List to store same Scores in another Array. FOr comparisions
 List SCORES = new ArrayList();
 int dist1,dist2 = 0;
 float distance,percent;
 while ((record = br.readLine())!= null) //To read from a file line by line from first line
 recCount++;
 String rec = record;
 String [] ScoreScop = rec.split("\t");
 ArrScore1.add(ScoreScop[4]));
 ArrScore2.add(ScoreScop[4]);
 } //End of While loop
 System.out.println("Total Records: " + recCount);
 for (int i=0; i<ArrScore1.size(); i++)
 for (int j = i + 1; j < ArrScore2.size(); j++)
 dist1 = Integer.parseInt(ArrScore2.get(j)); //Error I get here is is Cannot resolve symbol. What does this mean exactly?
dist2 = Integer.parseInt(ArrScore1.get(i)); //Same error
distance = dist1/dist2;
percent = distance * 100;
SCORES.add(percent); //Again same error
} //End of j loop
} // End of i loop
I have included all the necessary packages as well. Including :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Export as Tab Delimited File

Is there any methodology whereby a file can be exported, or saved, as a Tab Delimited File?
Thanks

Select All
Copy
Paste in a Pages document
Export as text.
Other way (my preffered one) :
Select All
Copy
run this Script :
--[SCRIPT clipboard2textFile]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script :clipboard2textFile.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
Copiez la table à exporter dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
Le script créera un fichier TSV (valeurs séparées par TAB).
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script :clipboard2textFile.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
Copy the table to export into the clipboard
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
The script will create a TSV file (Tab separated values).
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Upload tab delimited file

ho do i upload a file that is tab delimited, if the file is comma separated we items "split at ',' . how do i split tab separated items

HI Willard
As you know, handling of files w.r.t presentation server and application server differs.
Presentation Server: We can use FM: GUI_UPLOAD for the same.
Application Server:
1. Declare a variable of long text.
Eg: data: l_data(1024) type c.
2. Declate a variable which identifies tab character;
data: l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
3. While reading the dataset, read into l_data.
4. Split l_data at l_tab into work area fields.
Eg:
data: l_text(1024) type c,
 l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilites=>horizontal_tab.
open dataset fname for input in text mode encoding default.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
 write:/ 'Error Opening File'.
else.
 do.
 read dataset fname into l_text.
 if sy-subrc ne 0.
 exit.
 else.
 split l_text at l_tab into wa-fld1 wa-fld2 ....
 append wa to itab.
 endif.
 enddo.
 close dataset fname.
endif.
Hope the above info gives you some idea.
Kind Regards

Tab delimited file, to populate JTable

Hey all
As Java is fairly new for me I have come into several problems.
First of all i have a program making a tab delimited file, for example like this:
Mig 12345 You
Gig 12345 DouNow i want to read the file and populate each line in the JTable.
But my problem is the transfer from file to object.. This is my code so far:
String[] kolonneNavne = {"Kursusnavn",
 "Kursusnummer",
 "Point",
 "Skemaplacering",
 "Liniefag",
 "Kursus taget"};
 Object[][] kdata ={{null,null,null,null,null,null}};
 try {
 BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("kurser.ini"));
 String linie = buff.readLine();
 StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(linie, "\t", false);
 String kursus[] = {null,null,null,null,null};
 int antalKurser = 0;
 while (linie != null){
 kursus[0] = t.nextToken();
 kursus[1] = t.nextToken();
 kursus[2] = t.nextToken();
 kursus[3] = t.nextToken();
 kursus[4] = t.nextToken();
 kdata[0][antalKurser] = kursus[0];
 kdata[1][antalKurser] = kursus[1];
 kdata[2][antalKurser] = kursus[2];
 kdata[3][antalKurser] = kursus[3];
 kdata[4][antalKurser] = kursus[4];
 kdata[5][antalKurser] = new Boolean(false);
 linie = buff.readLine();
 antalKurser++;
 catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){
 catch (IOException e){
 e.printStackTrace();
 }This should read every line in the file, and add the contents to kdata but it doesn't.
I've tried several things, reading the "How to Use tables" by java, and also looking at the Class "Scanner", but havn't got that working either.
I think that the error is in the assigning kursus[j] and kdata[][], but how do i do it? How kan i add contents to an array already having information:
Object[][] kdata;?
Is there a smarter way?
Afterwards i do the essential:
final JTable table = new JTable(kdata, kolonneNavne);

Thanks for the debugging thing, i actually didn't know what it did..
Well if i change the assigning from the file with split, it should look like this:
try {
 // For at l�se en linie af gangen
 BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("kurser.ini"));
 String linie = buff.readLine();
 //Scanner sc = new Scanner(linie);
 StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(linie, "\t", false);
 String kursus[] = {null,null,null,null,null};
 int antalKurser = 0;
 while (linie != null){
 kdata[antalKurser] = linie.split("\t",5); // Or should this be kdata[0][antalKurser] ???
 kdata[5][antalKurser] = new Boolean(false);
 linie = buff.readLine();
 antalKurser++;
 catch (IOException e){
 e.printStackTrace();
 }But i still get errors when running the code...
Do i assign the data correct? It seems to me that that is the problem... I have tried searching for "object assign data java" but, all that comes up is "Object oriented programming with java"... Which i s understandeble beacause of java being Object oriented...
Hmm.. Hope you could help me with assigning the data!
It comes with this error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 5

Tab delimited file not getting loaded properly in OWB

Hi,
I have create a flat file module and liked it to an external table in OWB, but out of 5000 records only 3000 are getting loaded into external table for tab delimited flat file.
Could any body has any idea how this is happening.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram
Best thing to do is to configure the external table to have a log file name, bad file name etc.. and see the errors reported when you query the external table. This will help you identify the records in issue. If you reconfigure external table, redeploy the external table and then query the external table....read the log files etc. to see what is up, may be a data conversion issue in some records, or something completely different.
Cheers
David

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?
--Dave

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

Broken AppleScript for tab delimited importing into AddressBook

I have a tab delimited file that is not quite ready to import into AddressBook - it needs some massaging first (field merging, context sensitive edits etc.). A book (OS X Missing Manual) referred me to some AppleScripts used by AddressBook which are located in:
/Library/Scripts/Address Book Scripts/Address Importers
So I modified the "Tab Delimited Text File.scpt" file contained in there to accommodate all of the field merging etc. that I needed to do, but when I run the script it doesn't do anything. In fact, ALL of the scripts in that place just bring up a dialog box describing their capabilities, and then just quit. The book says these scripts work great... Would some kind soul please let me know how to run these scripts so I can point them to a tab delimited text file and do the import. Note that I'm able to figure out how to do my local changes in the AppleScript code, but I'm a total novice in AppleScript itself (but I can program well in other languages). I figure that because none of the scripts in that directory run, the error isn't mine (yet).
Thanks,
Mick

Sorry for the late reply - I had already figured out that the scripts were subroutines, but also thought they might run solo (they didn't). Another surprise was that the parent routine (/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/Import Addresses.scpt) was hard coded to call the children scripts in the Mail directory instead of the Address Book directory. I'm not clear if that's a bug on Apple's side...
Anyway, I got it all working. The import procedure was excruciating slow - it took well over an hour! The next time I get an update of the database to import I'm coding something up in awk instead of an AppleScript.
Thanks again for your help.
