Tab delimited file as target

I am using OWB to read data from a bunch of oracle tables and putting the results in a flat file. I've defined is as a tab delimited file and everything works fine except for one thing. What I need is to include double quotes for only those fields that are of character type. Currently, all the fields are being enclosed with double quotes. Where can I specify double quotes as enclosures for character fields only? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

the best option that i would suggest is:
create a staging table with columns datatype as varchar2 or have one single large column with carchar2(4000)
put all values from the source table to the staging table by concatenating all the columns
have a logic to add " " to the required fields, this can be easily done using expression builder by concatenating the "" before and end of the string
export the table as tab delimited so at the end of it you will ahve the required fields enclosed by strings.

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action

Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.

George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.

Hi PI Experts
 I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in Advance

I just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it.

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file

This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
"\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
"\t " : replace by a tab
I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
and of course...
"\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
For example, in a Notes column, the text:
"Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
<Note>
Escape sequence \n:
move the text to a new line
while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
</Note>
Thanks for reading...
Frédéric Denis

The developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Read Tab delimited File from Application server

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem while reading file from Application server.
File in Application server is stored as follows, The below file is a tab delimited file.

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...

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file

I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,
Owen

try it.

Hi Xler

Recordset structure = DT_PRY,*
DT_PRY.fieldnames = ID,empname,empno,country
DT_PRY.fieldSeparator = '0x09' (tab delimited)
DT_PRY.endSeparator = 'nl'

Formatting a tab delimited file

Hello All,
I am populating a tab delimited text file with data from a resultset and I'm having problems lining up the columns properly. I tried using tabs, but the variable length of some of the entries are messing up the positioning of the data. Is there a way to create tab delimited fixed length fields with column headers? or is there some better way to do this in general?
Thanks,
James

I got it working using StringBuffers. Where I missed it was that the formatting of the text of the report originally didn't work under the
code. It was being automatically formatted when it was passed as a message in an email under javamail. I had forgotten that Outlook will do that on it's own. When I tried to make the report an attachment, the defect in the formatting became apparent.
I also got it working (better solution) using POI. That way the attachment is an .xls file, rather than tab-delimited file.
FYI,
James

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?

Inserting a tab delimited file

Hi there,
I am inserting data into a database from text files. I can easily do this in sql with csv files but I need to be able to do it with tab delimited files. I know you can do this from the built in Oracle tool (I am using express edition) but I was wandering if anyone know how to write a script for it in sql.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you are using SQL Loader to load the data use below syntex
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'9'
The X'9' is Hexadecimal Format -> X
and Hex 9 is the ASCII code of the TAB character.
Check out the link for more details:

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.

Opening a tab-delimited file in numbers

Hello,
I have a tab-delimited file with the extension .srt to open in Numbers. I can do this easily in Microsoft Excel by going to the Open menu. It then gives me the option to say how the file is delimited and then it opens it. I can't seem to do this in Numbers... When I get to the Open menu and try to open the file, it is grayed out, so unaccessible... how does one do this in Mac?
Thanks

As was explained here many times, Numbers may open csv files if :
(1) the file name ends with ".csv"
(2) values are separated by commas if the decimal char in use on the machine is the period
values are separated by semi-colons if the decimal char in use on the machine is the comma.
(3) we have no way to change the values separator.
