Tab Delimited report using DelimitedData

Hi All,
While I try to generate a tab delimited report using DelimitedData, the first line appears as blank line. I can understand thats because I have removed the heading from XML Tag attribute for all the columns.
But how to stop this blank line from appearing?
Any help/idea will be highly appreciated.
TIA,
Gautam

Can you give more detail about what you are trying to achieve?
How have you determined that the tabs are not working?
Are you saving to a file and then opening the file and there are spaces instead of tabs? Or are there no spaces at all?
I created a simple report with the following SQL
select 'xxx'||chr(9)||'yyy'||chr(9)||'zzz' as tabbed_column
from dual
and get the output
tabbed_colulmn
xxx yyy zzz
What DESFORMAT are you using?

Tab Delimited File Using Receiver FCC

Hi Experts,
I need to generate a Tab Delimited File Using Receiver FCC. I have achieved the same by copying the tab length from a notepad and used the same in name.fieldSeparator parameter.
The other below mentioned values for name.fieldSeparator didnu2019t produce the expected result:
name.fieldSeparator=u2019htu2019
name.fieldSeparator=u2019\tu2019
name.fieldSeparator=u2019 0x09u2019
So just need to know if my approach for achieving this is fine or not.
Thanking you in advance.
Aditya.

Verma,
name.fieldSeparator=u2019 0x09u2019
I see a space after the first comma. Try removing it and give a try.
'0x09' with no spaces.

Acquire data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp

I am trying to import data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp. I have purchased the book by Thom Parker--All About PDF Stamps in Acrobat and Paperless Workflows and have been working through the examples in the appendix.
My problem is understanding how to bring the data into the dialog object from the file.
I don't want to plagiarize his book--so am electing at this time not to show my code. The script is reading the file, just not bringing in the records from the file so that I can select which line to import into the stamp.
I have typed in the code exactly how the book describes, but when the popup dialog object is selected, there is nothing in the drop-down. When I click OK, the first record is put on the stamp--except for the fields that I am wanting to appear in the dialog object popup box.
I have searched the forums, and also the JavaScript reference. There are examples of the popup dialog object, but none of them show how to import the data from a file--just for the items to be typed in as the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! i have been trying to work on this for several months now.

Thank you for getting back with me!
In answer to your questions:
1. Your trusted function is not a trusted function. Did you put this
function into a folder level script so that it will get executed at system
startup?--
yes--I saved the script as a .js file and put it in the following path (I have Acrobat XI Pro for Windows)
C:\Documents and Settings\tjohnson\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\11.0\JavaScripts\GetTabData.js
2. The script cannot find your tab delimited data file, or it cannot
extract the data. Did you add the data file in the correct location? The
location from the script in the book would be c:\mydata\Contacts.txt
Yes--the file is in the same path as the book.
Below is my code that references the file.
var cPath = "/c/mydata/Contacts.txt";
the slashes in the book go in the direction of the text above--should they go in the direction that you have in your question?
Also, the name and email address need to be separated by one Tab character.
They are.
3. The fields need to be named the same way as the columns in the data file (the two names are in the first line of the file).
My headings are RevByFromTab and EmailFromTab--which match the names of the two fields on the stamp.
So, check that you are not getting any errors in the JavaScript console
(Ctrl-J or Cmd-J), and verify that the tab delimited file is in the correct
location
When I run in the java script console--and I just run the script on the stamp,
it says
TypeError: event.source is null
17:Console:Exec
undefined
When I place the stamp on the page, the popup box is working, but when you click on the down arrow, there is nothing listed. When I click OK, the RevByFromTab is populated by the first item in the file, but the EmailFromTab field says undefined.
Thank you

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.

Infospoke - tab delimited file

Whether any one has tried generating tab delimited file using an infospoke.
If so please advise how to proceede?
There is SPRO setting to change the Delimiter . But not sure how can insert Tab delimiter

Parse tab delimited file after upload

I could use some advice. I have a requirement to parse and insert an uploaded, tab delimited file using APEX. Directly off of the file system, I would do this with an external table, but here I am uploading the file into a CLOB field. Does PL/SQL have any native functions to parse delimited files?
The user will not have access to the data load part of APEX, although I have seen numerous requests on this forum for that functionality to be added to the user GUI. Thoughts?

SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is working correctly in the report manager.
<Extension Name="TAB" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
 <OverrideNames>
 <Name Language="en-US">TAB delimited</Name>
 </OverrideNames>
 <Configuration>

 <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">	</FieldDelimiter>
 <Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
 <UseFormattedValues>False</UseFormattedValues>
 <NoHeader>False</NoHeader>
 <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
 </DeviceInfo>
 </Configuration>
 </Extension>

Hi Dave0323,
According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
file like below:
The result looks like below:
Reference:
CSV Device Information Settings
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi
I can't see any difference u're using the same table RESULT to transfer the data T_DOWNLOAD, so the program should have the same behavior.
Perhaps you should past all code for both cases.

Show/Hide tabs in a report using profiles

Hi,
   There is a need to show hide/show tabs based on User Profile or any other method.
   There are 1. Summary 2. Detailed Tab in report.
   For data analysts client want to show Detailed tab so that Analysts can work on Analysis. Managers shoud be able to see only Summary tab.
This is required to reduce no of modificatiosn required for reprots. This helsp to avoid prolifiration of reports as well.
Pleas help on techniques/ tools to get this requirement at the earliest.
Regards,
Nanda Kishore B

Hi Nanda,
I do not think this functionality is currently available in WebI.
However you could break these report tabs into two different reports and using access privilges make these two reports available to the concerned team.
You can log a request at https://ideas.sap.com to directly work with the product group to check if this exact functinality could be included or not.
Hope this helps.
