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.

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.

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

Dynamic Text in Pages using Numbers file as input

I was wondering if it is possible to have cells or text boxes in Pages that are dynamic and are filled
in automatically using a source cell from a linked Numbers file as the input.
I have proposals to write that always use a specific Numbers file to crunch the math, but I want
to present certain parts of the Numbers file in a formal written proposal and don't want to redo
everything by hand when I make small changes to the projects financials.
Thanks!!! So glad I switched!

There is no feature allowing us to link two different documents.
You may try to achieve your goal creating the Text document in a Numbers sheet using text boxes.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Excel to Tab delimited .text

At work i have to deal with a lot of excels in which i have to save the file as .txt and then .xls, I will then upload the .txt file to SAP
In the txt files, the numbers are being saved with "." (dot) and not with a ","(Comma) in the decimals, even though then numbers in excel are formated in number with 2 decimals and with comma separator.
So I'm having problems with this, I've tried the different formats (number, text, general) but nothing seems to work. If I save manually in Tab delimited .txt the files is always saved with a comma in the decimals, but if i run the excel macro the .txt always save with a dot. I've also tried changing the file format in my VBA (TextWindows, TextMSDOS, Currentplatformtext) without sucess.
Can anyone give me some help with this? I've been looking the internet for a solution but found none. The number of files i have to upload is huge, so i'd like to program my macro to do all this saving automatically.
Thank you..
PS:The VBA code I am using now is this:
Sub Save()
    Dim NomeFicheiro As String
    Dim PathGrav As String
    NomeFicheiro = InputBox("Nome do Ficheiro?")
    PathGrav = "H:\Starflows\" & NomeFicheiro
    If NomeFicheiro = "" Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=PathGrav, FileFormat:=xlTextWindows, CreateBackup:=False
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=PathGrav, FileFormat:=xlNormal, CreateBackup:=False
    ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub

I thought it might me the regional settings, mine are in Portuguese and by default we have the comma as decimal separator, so this should be ok.
I tried changing to the English (US) format using both the comma and the dot as separator, but the problem remains, the macro is always saved with dot instead of comma, even so if I save the file manually as tab delimited text.
What I also did was, I configured dot as decimal separator in the regional settings and putted commas in the numbers in my excel, I think it recognizes the numbers as text, in this case, when i run the macro the numbers in the text are saved with quotes like this but with commas, for example "12,56". But in this case SAP does not accept the file because of the quotes.
I remembered something that might be the reason for this happening. when I manually save as tab delimited .txt, excel asks me 2 questions, which i answer yes and which could be important.
1. Excel tells me that the selected file type does not support workbooks that contain multiple sheets and to save only the active sheet click ok. This does not look like the problem but i changed the code to:
ActiveSheet.SaveAs Filename:=PathGrav, FileFormat:=xlTextWindows, CreateBackup:=False
I executed it but the dot and not comma remains.
2. 123.txt may contain features that are not compatible with Text (Tab delimited). Do you want to keep the workbook in this format?
*To keep this format, which leaves out any incompatible features, click Yes.
*To preserve the features, click No. then save a copy in the latest Excel format
I press yes and the file is saved as comma delimited.
Could it be that i need to add something to my VBA code, as when the macro runs I am not prompted any of these questions.
Thanks

Application Server Download - Tab Delimited Text File

You can call a transaction and pass it a BDC table that tells it where you want it to go. You have to work out for yourself what to put into the BDC table. The code below works for tcode CATSSHOW.

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 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
Yvan KOENIG (Vallauris, FRANCE)
le 10 octobre 2008
property needLF : true
(* true = replace Returns by LineFeeds
false = replace LineFeeds by Returns *)
property maybeSemicolon : true
(* true = use semiColons if decimal separator is comma
false = always uses commas *)
--=====
try
set |données| to the clipboard as text
on error
error "the clipboard doesn't contain text datas !"
end try
set line_feed to ASCII character 10
if |données| contains tab then

GUI_UPLOAD can't upload data in a tab-delimited text file

Hi.
I was trying to upload data in a tab-delimited textfile.
I could do it for a ASC textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'ASC'), but I couldn't do it for a tab-delimited textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'DAT').
Any help is appreciated.

hi kian,
If u r using DAT file then HAS_FIELD_SEPERATOR should contain X.
check the following code:
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename. " File Name.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 exporting
 filename = p_file " NAME of the file
 filetype = 'DAT'
 has_field_separator = 'X ' " X indicates Fields are separated by tabs.
 tables
 data_tab = t_file " Internal table that contains the file data
 exceptions
 file_open_error = 1
 file_read_error = 2
 no_batch = 3
 gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
 invalid_type = 5
 no_authority = 6
 unknown_error = 7
 bad_data_format = 8
 header_not_allowed = 9
 separator_not_allowed = 10
 header_too_long = 11
 unknown_dp_error = 12
 access_denied = 13
 dp_out_of_memory = 14
 disk_full = 15
 dp_timeout = 16
 others = 17.
IF the file type is DAT then following rules applies.
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the
table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be
separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
- I or N or P or F
 The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation
 defined in the user settings.
 - D
 The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the
 user settings.
 - T
 The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

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.

Receiver File Adapter - Tab delimited Text file

I am using receiver file adapter to convert message created by ABAP PROXY to convert tab delimited text file format.
XML message is in following format.
- <DT_R3_ROLES_OUTBOUND_REC>
<LIST_CATEGORY>SAP_HR</LIST_CATEGORY>
<USRID>MRUDULAP</USRID>
<EMAIL>[email protected]</EMAIL>
<NAME>MRUDULA PATEL</NAME>
</DT_R3_ROLES_OUTBOUND_REC>
- <DT_R3_ROLES_OUTBOUND_REC>
<LIST_CATEGORY>SAP_HR</LIST_CATEGORY>
<USRID>HCHD</USRID>
<EMAIL>[email protected]</EMAIL>
<NAME>H CHD</NAME>
</DT_R3_ROLES_OUTBOUND_REC>
I have used file content conversion in the adapter configuration.
Recordset structure = DT_LISTSERV_INBOUND_REC
DT_LISTSERV_INBOUND_REC.addHeaderLine = 0
DT_LISTSERV_INBOUND_REC.fieldSeparator = ','
How to use Tab as the delimiter in the fieldSeparator field?
Now the output in the file is as follows :
[email protected]'MRUDULA PATEL
[email protected]'H CHD
What I need to do to make the file as the tab delimited file?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mruddula,
Use fieldSeparator: '0x09' for horizontal tab
DT_LISTSERV_INBOUND_REC.fieldSeparator: '0x09'

How do you import multiple sets of tab delimited text into your form?

Is there an easy way to bring in form data from a text file of data values(tab delimited) with multiple instances of each variable? In my current project, I would like to bring name, address, phone, etc data from the text file for a couple hundred people into a PDF form which I create and format to my given specs. I know I can import the text and select which instance of the variable I want to populate the similarly named fields, but I was wondering if I could appropriately name or create the various fields in the form so that it would auto populate each subsequent instance of the variables with the next line of data?. In this case, I want to end up with a nicely formatted address book.
Thanks!

It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.
