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

Hi, Did you get solution for this? Please let me know as I'm looking for the same solution. The Bank requirement is to generate a Tab delimited file but the RFFOGB_T with Format GB_BACS issues the output as below...

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

Tab delimited file on app server. How to do that?

Hello,
When i transfer a tab delimited file from pre. server(windows) to app. server(windows) using CG3Z , the tab delimitation is not working.
for eg : the file with below layout
01.04.2007     31.03.2008     1     120

01.04.2007#31.03.2008#1#120
01.05.2007#31.07.2008#2#140
All i need is a tab delimited file in app server also . Wats that i need to do for this ? Also how can i write a tab delimited file on app server through my program using open dataset.
Thanks for ur time.

Hi..
Check this code: you will find the solution:
Using the Static Attribute <b>CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB</b>
Example:
This is the Simple way you can download the ITAB with Tab delimiter:
DATA : V_REC(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
Concatenate WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2
         INTO V_REC
         SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
TRANSFER V_REC TO P_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
Note: if there are any Numeric fields ( Type I, P, F) In your ITAB then before CONCATENATE you have to Move them to Char fields ..
Reward if Helpful.
Example:
DATA: V_RECORD(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_Record at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
                            INTO WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2.
APPEND WA TO ITAB.
ENDDO.

Importing data from tab delimited file

Hi everyone,
This is my first question on here so I hope I am doing the right thing.
I've searched online as much as I can to find an answer or a way to fix my problem but I have not been able to find a resolution.
My issue is I'm trying to import name and contact information from a excel file, that I have saved as a tab delimited file, into a fillable PDF file. I'm able select the text file through the import option and it shows the correct information as different rows that I can import but when I select one and click on to finish the import of the data I get an error message advising that some of the text could not be imported. The issue is nothing is being imported at all.
I've made sure that all the relevant fields are the same name as what the form has but still cannot get anything to import.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may not be working? Also I basically have no ability to write JavaScript to import the information otherwise I would look at travelling down that path.
Please let me know if I need to be any more specific.
Regards,
Adam

Ok I can share the form itself and will need to quickly create some data itself to go along with it

Here is the tab delimited file I am trying to use (well the format anyway).

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.

Importing a .xls tab delimited file into number

Hi there... I downloaded a .xls document from the internet and attempted to open it in Numbers. The following import problem presented itself:
Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
Indeed the data does look different- all of the formatting is visible, and the document is essentially unusable. Is there a way to convert this sort of document into something that can be used in Numbers?
Thanks

I opened the document in Text Edit, but was unable to convert tab to commas... here is a clip from the original document when it is opened in both TextEdit and Numbers

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Import tab delimited file into pdfs

I have a tab delimited file with 1000's of rows. I want to complete a form and save it for each row. Rather than using the importData() function by itself and manually going through each record I would like to automate this so it will fill out a form for each row and save a copy of each. I have a little experience in acrobat javascript, but some knowledge of building the form and adding javascript.

You can use the doc.importTextData method to import a row of data into the form and then use the doc.extractPages method to save to a new file, clear the form, and repeat the process for each row.
importTextData: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.502.html
extractPages: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.465.html
Note that the return codes for importTextData in the documentation are wrong. The positive values should be negative and vice versa.

Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file

This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
"\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
"\t " : replace by a tab
I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
and of course...
"\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
For example, in a Notes column, the text:
"Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
<Note>
Escape sequence \n:
move the text to a new line
while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
</Note>
Thanks for reading...

The developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.

Is there a way to import/export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

It seems like Pages is starting to get funtionality that might help wean me off of Excel. In this vein, is it possible to import or export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

I had some success in Pages 1, but I've only tried a couple of times so far in Pages 2 without success. The trick was to make sure the table is the exact number of columns wide. It's very "klunky" but I've ended up converting the tab-delimited text to a table in AppleWorks, saving the AppleWorks file with the table as a "floating" object (fixed objects don't translate) & opening the file in Pages. It's quicker & easier for most of what I do to just drag & drop in Pages.

Attaching a tab delimited file to mail

Hi,
I have to attach a tab delimited file to a mail and sent it using Function Module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.
I have filled in the following details but i am not sure about what should be given for 'lt_packing_list-doc_type'. Should it be a 'TXT 'or any other file format. Some one has suggested me a 'CSV' but i guess for that the data should be separated by a comma and i need a tab delimited file.
Please suggest me what needs to be done.
Thank you,
Taher

Which table you populate your data to (CONTENTS_BIN,CONTENTS_TXT,CONTENTS_HEX) ?.

and use this constant in concatenate statement to generate a tab character.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hi,
I am trying to download tab delimited file using F.M GUI_DOWNLOAD.We have

Hi,
i think it is because tou need to uncomment:
     FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
try it.
Best regards.
