Text File Encoding used by TextEdit/OS X

Hi all folks,
does someone know the code page are used with the text file encoding "Western (EBCDIC US)"
available from the "Customize Encodings List" in the TextEdit "Plain Text File Encoding" Preferences.
The text file encoding "Western (EBCDIC Latin 1)" works well, but "EBCDIC US" does not,
the character set is very limited.
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

Yeah unfortunately they're all listed as 0kb files. I guess that means the faulty hard drive didn't transfer them properly, even though the Mac did the copy confirmation sound.
Hundreds of folio files... all gone. ;___;

How to only read the last line in the text file by using BufferedReader ?

Dear all,
Hello, I am new to Java. Do anybody know how to read the last line (this is the last record) in the text file.The method I am now using is reading from the first line until I reach the last line in the text file. Thank you!!
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\sdk1.4.1\\bin\\dbExport.txt"));
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\sdk1.4.1\\bin\\dbExport.txt"));
String input;
String firstinput;
String secondinput;
int count=90;
int year=1955;
while ((input = br.readLine()) != null) {
firstinput = input.substring(0, 10);
secondinput = input.substring(10);
String insertStore1 = ("INSERT INTO AUTHORS " +
"VALUES ('" + count + "', '" + firstinput + "', '" + secondinput + "', 1955)");
System.out.println(insertStore1);
int result = stmt.executeUpdate(insertStore1);

I suppose you could use a java.io.RandomAccessFile.

Hi all,
How to read the whole text file lines when error occured middle of the text file reading.

Yes there is you need to use the uniqueMessageSeparator property. Have a look at the following link for its implementation.

How to get applet to load text file and use it

The applet is loaded from my site and the short text file is updated by a perl script in my cgi-bin, which is called whenever someone loads the html that loads my applet.
The text file is just a counter string and I'd like to use it to display #.gif's at a certain place on the applet window (no problem there if I can get the text file into the applet).
How would I get the applet to load the text file into a string or array?
It has a running thread and I'd like it to update it periodically.

I believe you can do that with Class.getResourceAsStream.
Or you can do it explicitly with java.net.* stuff.

How to save the value in Cedit control into a text file bu using measurement studio c++?

Im using measurement studio c++ to create a application. How to save a randomly generated value which display in the CNumberEdit Control to a text file? how to do the coding part?

You can use the CNiFile class to write the value out to a file. For example, create a new Measurement Studio C++ project and follow these steps:
Add a CNiNumEdit to the dialog.
Add a member variable for the CNiNumEdit called m_numEdit.
Add a button to the dialog.
Double-click the button to add a message handler for the button's BN_CLICKED message.
Add the following code to the button's BN_CLICKED message handler:
CNiFile file("C:\\Values.log", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText);
file << m_numEdit.Value << endl;
file.Close();
Run the application, edit the CNiNumEdit's value, and click the button. The value should be written to the Values.log
file as specified in the code above.
Hope this helps.

How to Determine Text File Encoding is UNICODE

Hi Gurus,
How to determine whether the file is a UNICODE format or not?
I have the file stored as a BLOB column in a table
Thanks,
Sombit

That's a rather hard problem. You would, realistically, either have to make a bunch of simplifying assumptions based on the data or you would want to buy a commercial tool that does character set detection.
There are a number of different ways to encode Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, USC-2, etc.) and a number of different versions of the Unicode standard. UTF-8 is one of the more common ways to encode Unicode. But it is popular precisely because the first 127 characters (which is the majority of what you'd find in English text) are encoded identically to 7-bit ASCII. Depending on the size and contents of the document, it may not be possible to determine whether the data is encoded in 7-bit ASCII, UTF-8, or one of the various single-byte character sets that are built off of 7-bit ASCII (ISO 8859-15, Windows-1252, ISO 8859-1, etc).
Depending on how many different character sets you are trying to distinguish between, you'd have to look for binary values that are valid in one character set and not in another.

How can you add comments to a text file while using a Digital Waveform vi?

Hi. I'm very new to Labview. I have a txt file of 1's and 0's wired to a "read from text file" which is then wired to a "spreadsheet string to digital.vi" ("digital waveform") and lastly to a graph. I want to add notes to the txt file that will not be read in the digital waveform. i.e. Like how you use // or /* in a C++ program to show that you are writing a comment and not code.
Labview version: 8.5
Thank you

You will just need in your text file a line at a time. Search the string for the characters // or /*. If it finds them, then loop back and read another line. If it doesn't find them, you must have a good line of data and you can pass on to the next part of your cod.

How to print a text file contents using java.

        pjob.end();
// Utility method needed
   void printLongString (PrintJob pjob, Graphics pg, String s) {
     int pageNum = 1;
     int linesForThisPage = 0;

     // Note: String is immutable so won't change while printing.
     if (!(pg instanceof PrintGraphics)) {

     StringReader sr = new StringReader (s);
     LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader (sr);
     String nextLine = "       ";
     int pageHeight = pjob.getPageDimension().height;
     pageHeight -= 20;
     Font helv = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12);
     //have to set the font to get any output
     pg.setFont (helv);
     FontMetrics fm = pg.getFontMetrics(helv);
     int fontHeight = fm.getHeight();
     int fontDescent = fm.getDescent();
     int curHeight = 0;

My Code should have a button , when you click that button it should ask you to choose a txt file to open this file from a specific place. The Indicators of the front panel should show me the ID , Name and Date. The data;
100000000
1003ff001
1010013ff
1000003ff
1023fe001
102000000

the first 3 bits belong to X axis, the next 3 bits belong to Y and the rest 3 belongs to Z axis. I have to convert those values to Decimal system, and plot them in a graph, 10 times a second , which means after converting and plotting 10 values , one second is over.
I would aprriciate it very much if you could help me in this case....
Thanks in advance.

Some questions a teacher might ask:
What's the display setting for the "\n" string diagram constant? Why?
Is it better to read the file one line at a time or all at once?
What would you do to be able to stop the chart display before it runs out of data?
What would be different if we combine the two FOR loops into one?
How would you display the header as a multiline string instead of an array of strings?
Why is the scan format %03x instead of %3x? Would it make a difference?
What is the purpose of the two items of the property node?
What would you need to change to plot the data every 50ms? (change in two places!)
Why is the error output of the property node wired to the first FOR loop? (After all, the error value is not really used anywhere there!)
Instead of the two "array subset" operations, we could do it with one icon. Which one? (two possibilities!)
So... be prepared!

Does it compile? Does it do what you want when you run it?
If you have a problem, say what that problem is (cut and paste any
compiler error message).
One small point is that you could actually print the stack trace as this
