Text Tab delimited file-Strcuture-validation

Hi Folks,
1.Is there a way to check whether the file is text tab delimited or not,programatically ?
2.can we check whether the data in the text tab delimited file is in line with the structure of the internal table into which it is going to be uploaded ?
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

hi try this
DO.
READ DATASET p_ufile INTO in_file.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
APPEND in_file.
CLEAR in_file.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_ufile.
LOOP AT in_file.
SPLIT in_file AT c_tab INTO

  • Issue related to Excel to Text tab delimited conversion

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue in converting an excel file to a text tab delimited file. I have an excel sheet which contains two columns:
    vendor         new_zip
    153357      99645-6340
    162642         99669-7631
    $209930-1   91320-1201
    $209989-1   91710-5766
    When i save this file as a text tab delimited file  this is how it turns into:
        vendor  new_zip
        153357  99645-6340
        162642  99669-7631
        $209930-1     91320-1201
        $209989-1     91710-5766
    i am using WS_UPLOAD since i am not using the enterprise version of SAP. In the above mentioned u can see that the zip values(first character) of the first two records and the vendor numbers(last character) of the last two records get in line with each other. so when i load this file it gives a "File open error" exception. if i move the zip codes of the first two records by one space so that they are not in line with the vendor numbers of the last two records the file uploading happens fine. but this is something which cant be done from the user point of view. so can anyone tell as to what can be done without changing the concept of using text tab delimited file and aviod this problem?
    thanks & regards,
    Bala.

    The following program uses alsm_convert_excel_to_internal_table.but i want to use split at tab delimiter.pls help.

  • 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.

    I am not exactly sure how to include this in my code.
    If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

  • HT2486 The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

    The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file.

    I guess your question is, "what's wrong with the file?"
    You're going to have to figure that out yourself, as we cannot see the file.
    Importing into Address book requires either a tab-delimited or a comma-delimited file. You can export out of most spreadsheets into a csv file. However, you need to make sure you clean up the file first.  If you have a field that has commas in the field, they will create new fields at the comma. So, some lines will have more fields than the others, causing issues like the error you saw.

  • 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

  • Discover Plus - Export to Text Tab delimited is not exporting all the rows

    Hi gurus,
    I am trying to export a large data report which has 1 million plus rows to text tab delimited. The export takes 9 plus hours to export and the data is not more than 100000.
    My question is
    1. How can I make the discoverer to export it quicker or rather faster to tab delimited.
    2. Where can I change the number of rows to be exported.
    Any help, suggestions is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    SAI

    Hi Rod,
    Yes. The text tab delimited export is taking lot of time. The total rows for this report are nearly 1 million. If I break down the report with condition and export it I was able to export it ( three files exported with 212000, 103000 and 687000 rows respectively).
    But I m still having problems exporting it in one shot. Is there any way I could resolve this? Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    SAI

    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...
    Regards

  • Text Tab delimited - using Numbers

    I have some Numbers files that I need to upload to a contact manager as Text Tab - Delimited. I cannot seem to find the correct way of doing it, since I am not able to get them done.

    If you need to export data from specific tables, you can try is selecting the cells, command-c to copy, and in a text editor, command-v to paste, and then save to file, which you should then be able to upload to the contact manager.
    Selecting cells and copying them places their values on the clipboard tab-delimited.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Download Tab Delimited file from spool!

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any way to download tab delimited txt file from spool?
    Spool is created for Statements and Invoices from Sap Script and Smartform which is in OTF format.
    I am able to download this in Text file but I need this file in tab delimited format.

    I don't understand what you want to do as it seems impossible : the spool contains miscellaneous data, not compatible with tab delimited files which are used to store 2-dimensional tables (columns, rows).

  • Create tab delimited file

    Hi,
    I must create a tab delimited output complex text file from a read on a database table. The file has multiple record lines in it. I have created the XSD from the sample output file and have each field terminated by a './T' . I must pass a tab for each field regardless of whether it is populated from my source data. I can not send a space in the field. How can I map a null value through the XSLT so that the output file has a tab? I've tried setting a default on the xsd but that seems to do nothing. Currently I am setting a fixed text through the mapper to space for all the fields that I do not use. I then go into the XSL and remove the space from the <xsl:text></xsl:text> element. This works, however when I go back into the mapper and change anything through the xslt, it wipes out all of my empty text elements.
    Any ideas on how to create a tab delimited file that has tabs for fields that have no data?
    Thank you much,
    Kevin Meyer
