The reverse of the "findstr" command in a batch file.

Hi.
I hope I'm in the right place. I am trying to run a command/batch file on a really large text file to replace all lines of text with the exception of certain lines which contain a certain word. I know this can be done to 'delete' certain lines
and keep the others using the "findstr" command. What this command does is deletes all lines in a text file that contain specific words whilst keeping all other lines.
I want to do the exact opposite to this. I want to keep certain lines of text containing specific words whilst deleting all others.
Does anyone know what this command might be? Or is there a switch one can use with "findstr" command to do it?
All help appreciate
J

In general you could write:
(Get-Content.\inputfile.txt)
-match"keyword"|Out-File.\outputfile.txt-Encodingascii
Outputfile.txt would then contain all lines that contain "keyword".
This should work for files with a size <4GB.
I've just tried: The powershell.exe process didnt get more than 4GB RAM. :-)

Using a Variable to Substitute the path\filename of a Batch file in the Start_Process Command

I am trying to write a script that will execute a batch file on a remote Windows server.
This line below is basically what I'm trying to do and it works without error, however I would like to use a variable for the path\filename of the batch file.
invoke-command -computername QSC-A-ICE01 -scriptblock {Start-Process "\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat" }
If I try to use a variable as in this example below I receive the error below. The error seems to indicate it's it expecting a "FilePath" parameter. Is this true? How would I change this script to make it work when substituting a variable.
$MyProcess = "\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat"
Write-Host $MyProcess
invoke-command -computername QSC-A-ICE01 -scriptblock {Start-Process "$MyProcess"}
This is the error text I receive when using a variable:
PS C:\Windows\system32> D:\Test\ThisWorks.ps1
\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'FilePath'. The argument is null or empty. Supply an argument that is not null or
empty and then try the command again.

Mike,
Thanks for providing the link, it was very informative. The link described how to use the args in a ScriptBlock and provided me with an explaination as to why it works the way it does on a remote server. This is my 1st post to the forum and I don't know
how the points system works yet.
I would like to split the points , but I don't see that this is possible.
You're very welcome, I'm glad that the information was helpful.

What is the Unix command to concatenate two files and merget it in to one ?

Hi Experts,
I have three jobs and each job creates a file. I want to run one more job which clubs these three files and merges it in to one.
I know the process of opening each file and appending it in to the target file using DATASET concept.
Instead of that, I want any UNIX Shell command so that I can call that directly from ABAP and execute it
Any help on this would be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Babu Kilari

Hello Babu,
We can very well call an OS command from within ABAP, but in your case, I don't think that is really required. Please find below a logic that might be helpful to you.
You have three files, whose contents needs to be merged into a single file.
Read the contents of each file and store it into an internal table.
DATA: command LIKE rs37a-line.
DATA: BEGIN OF tabl OCCURS 0,
          line(2000),
      END OF tabl.
command = 'cat /tmp/file1.txt'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD command
              ID 'TAB'     FIELD tabl-*sys*.
Internal table 'tabl' will contain the contents of the file.
Accumulate all the contents into a single file and upload to the application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER DATASET and CLOSE DATASET.
Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation.
Regards
Sabu.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Post Author: Micha
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

Supressing the Java command window ???

Hi,
How do I get rid of the command window from where I start my Java Application ?
Even if there is a way what will happen to all the System.out.println() calls in my applicatio ?
Thanks in advance.

You can just not start the Java application from a command window or batch file. The easiest way to do this is to create an executable JAR file which a person (on Windows) can just double-click. Do a search on "executable JAR".

How to pass command-line options to app using the "open" command?

I am using jedit, and since I'm doing a lot of stuff in a shell, I'd really like to launch it from the command line as though I'd opened from finder, so I wrote a script that contains this:
open -a /Applications/Jedit.app "$@" &
This works well for everything except NEW files, where I get this error:
2007-02-16 19:29:48.072 open[1032] No such file: /Users/millerti/projects/ateon/new_file
Is there a way I can override this?
So, it occurred to me that I might try running jedit directly this way:
/Applications/Jedit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit -- "$@" &
The trouble is that this suffers all sorts of weird problems. For instance, if there's already a jedit running, it launches another one (despite the fact that -server is default). Moreover, the file it opens, existing or not, is not the one I specify. If I'm in ~/mydir and I open ./myfile, jedit opens instead /Applications/myfile.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help me figure out what open is doing internally so that I can launch jedit compatible with how open does it so that I can both open existing files and create new ones the same way from the command line?
BTW, I can make more complex script.
Also, if this isn't the right forum for this, can someone tell me where would be a better place to get the question answered?
And I'm not expecting to get jedit support here. This isn't a jedit problem because it's behaving correctly.
Thanks.

Applications rarely take command line arguments. I don't know anything about Jedit, whether that is an exception, but you are not sending an argument to Jedit with the open command. The file name on your command line is an argument to the open command. The open command says "open this file with the specified application". The application doesn't see the argument. It sees the file exactly as if it were opened from the Finder. That's why naming a non-existent file doesn't work.
What if you open Jedit with no file, create a new document in the application. (Again, I am not familiar with Jedit.)

Webutil command into batch file

Hello,
We have a 10gR2 environment, with webutil.
I get a weird behaviour with CLIENT_HOST.
When I use this command
myCommand := 'cmd /c COPY c:\file1.txt c:\toto.sql ';
CLIENT_HOST(myCommand);
There is no problem.When I use put the COPY command into a .bat file, in order to execute the .bat file with CLIENT_HOST ... the command doesn't make the job.
There is no special information in the jInitiator console...
But here is the code I'd like to write :
myFile CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
myCommand VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
myFile := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN('c:\myBatch.bat', 'W');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUTF(myFile, 'COPY c:\file1.txt c:\toto.sql \n');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myFile);
myCommand := 'cmd /c c:\myBatch.bat ';
CLIENT_HOST(myCommand);
END;
Also, when I doubleClick on the myBatch.bat file under Windows, the command works fine !
My problem is that I need to have a .bat file that gathers many commands. (this is not only about copying a file)
What puzzles me, is that I don't have such problem with our 8i environment !
That's why I was thinking about any special privilege/setup missing in our 10g environment / configuration...
Any idea or advice?
Thanks,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
The problem is that the operative system hasn’t written the file yet, even though the fclose command as been executed.
I used this type of code to check if the file is closed in the file system.
loop
l_counter := l_counter + 1;
if webutil_file.file_size('c:\myBatch.bat') > 0 then
CLIENT_HOST(myCommand);
exit;
end if;
if l_counter > 100 then
SET_ALERT_PROPERTY('UI_ERROR',alert_message_text,'Timeout. Copy can not be completed, due to file not being released by file system.' );
l_button := show_alert('UI_ERROR');
exit;
end if;
end loop;
Hope this will help you solve the problem
Cheers

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

How do I use the a command from a .dll with labview?

I want to use for example the M8784Open() command to control an M8784
photon counter. I know how to place a call library function node
but don't know where to go there. The user manual for the photon
counter has the following explanation of the M8784Open() command but I
don't know how to use their advice in labview!
7-3-1 M8784Open( )
Declaration HANDLE M8784Open( BYTE Board );
Parameter
BYTE Board
Specify the board to be used: M8784_MASTER or M8784_SLAVE. Specify both
when making 2-channel measurements simultaneously. It is not possible
to specify M8784_SLAVE only.
Return value A handle for the M8784 is returned when the function has succeeded..
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is returned if the function has failed..
Explanation Calls a handle to allow the M8784API.dll to use the M8784.sys driver.
Hereafter, specify this API’s return value (handle) when using other APIs.
When quitting M8784 operation, call up M8784Close( ) to cancel the driver.

You need to find out the equivalent number of the parameter. Somewhere in your documentation, or inside a file (for example, a header .h file in C/C++) you will find the definitions of each parameter.
For example, M8784_MASTER may have the value 1 and M8784_SLAVE the value of 2. You already know that it is a BYTE, so it will be a number of type U8 in LabVIEW. You need to find the exact values.
Probably, by value "A" it means the hex number "A", which is 10 in decimal. You need to find that in your documentation.
You also need to find the type HANDLE. It can be a BYTE, etc. Once you know that, find the value of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, so you can test for the error.
Most of this information can be found in the document Using External Code in LabVIEW. Check your help file, or check this link.

Enrique

While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.

Report with two Command is empty if one of the two commands returns no data

Hi all,
I have a report with two Commands not linked together.
If ONLY one of the two Commands returns no data, the full report is empty (although the other Command returns data).
I'm using Crystal Report 2008 and the CRJ 12.2.205
Have an idea?

Hi Ted,
how can I solve the problem, please? It is important.
If I can help yourself, the problem is appeared in many reports since I updated the library (the old library version 11.8.4.1094 works fine with all). I'm waiting for your answer, please.
Thank you very much.

The pipe "|" does not work in the Windows command console.

This is a very weird problem. I am using 64-bit Windows VISTA command window for very long time and it just suddenly do not work with the pipe character anymore. I have checked the PATH and PATHEXT in Administrator mode and they look OK.
