Trying to Export Details Column as Text Files

In the bin, where all the information is columned regarding (on the right hand side) regarding duration/in/out... and all the other information...
Is there a way to export only that information as a text file of any sort? I have a feature film's length worth of footage, and I'm trying to create a list of all the available shots we have for the crew, what master tape they were captured from, their in and out points, and all that...
(As opposed to print screening the whole thing...)
Any help would be just fantastic and save me an incredible amount of time (or confirm I have to spend an incredible amount of time)
Thanks.

Export "batch list" will give you a tab delimited text file that can be imported in to a spread sheet. Hide or add columns in the browser for further control.

Labeling Columns in Text File

Still new to labview and learning - but having difficulty labeling the heading of the columns when writing to text file. I am trying to seperate 13 columns of text and tried a few solutions I have found on the boards, but not having any luck. All help is greatly appreciated.
I am also having problems where I have to delete the root directory address (C:/) before running the VI otherwise I get an error.

now what is your problem...format of the file? what is it that you want when you say headers? can you post a sample text file of what you want it to look like...this is your code and what it outputs, also put a wait(ms) function in your while loop (your using 100% of your cpu).

Data getting truncated while exporting report to a text file in crystal 10?

Hi All,
I am using crystal 10.When exporting report to a text file ,a dialog prompts asking for Character perinch with a default value 9.If I change the value from 9 to 16 i am getting the correct data(that means character per inch value is 16) and it update "CharPerInch" value in registry under following location to 16.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Text
The dialog asked for character per inch also has option to select not to prompt again and i also selected that in first go.
When i export the report again in text format it didn't prompt for number of character per inch but the data gets truncated.
What i believe is even though it updates entry in registry and reads, it is not using the same value for export. It never consider the value that is in registry, if the check box is not selected then it is using the value entered in the dialog and if the check box is selected then in the next run it uses the default value as 9.
Can anyone suggest me how to override this problem ? Is there any other setting place in registry where i can enter the number of character per inch.I don't want to crystal to prompt always for character per inch.

Hi Venkateswaran,
The other option to avoid truncation of the data could be
Right click the text filed
Click on Format Text to open the Format Editor
On Common tab check the text box for Can Grow.
This will prevent the data from truncating in preview as well as while exporting to text.
Otherwise you will have to set the characters per inch to 16 each time. I donu2019t see changing the registry value causing any difference here.

Export Screen to Flat Text file

Hello,
I'm very new in SAP and need to modify a little program.
I would like to export the current screen in a flat text file.
The file must be stored on the SAP server ( /usr/sap/data/bel) so not on my local harddrive.
I searched and found found functions like WS_download and GUI_download, but I'm not sure how to use them. Can somebody help me please?

How can we read a column from text file

hai,
the Text file contains :
m1 m2 m4 89
m1 m2 m4 89
m0 m4 m2 90
I need one array for each column
m[0]= m1,m1,m0 (first column from text file)
m[1]= m2,m2,m2 (second column from text file)
m[2]= 89,89,90 (third column from text file)
andvance thanks

If a 2D array is OK (instead of 4 separate arrays), try something like this
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
class FileReadColumns
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
    String line;
    ArrayList lines = new ArrayList();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("data.txt"));
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) lines.add(line);
    String bits[];
    bits = lines.get(0).toString().split(" ");
    String grid[][] = new String[bits.length][];
    for(int i=0;i<grid.length;i++)grid[i] = new String[lines.size()];
    for(int i = 0; i < lines.size(); i++)
      bits = lines.get(i).toString().split(" ");
      for(int ii = 0; ii < bits.length; ii++) grid[ii] = bits[ii];
for(int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++)
for(int ii=0;ii<grid[i].length;ii++)System.out.print(grid[i][ii]+" ");
System.out.println();
System.exit(0);

How to change "Details" column header text in AdvanceTable in AdvancedTable

Hi All,
i am using adavanced table in advanced table in OAF page to show the master and details ,
my requirement is to change the header text of "Details" to some other meaning ful text .
"Details' column will be visible at runtime ,no we cant change using process request ,
Please help me on this ,its urgent
Thanks & Regards
Maheswara Raju

You can get the handle to the Detail column by using the following:
UINode d = outerTable.getDetail();
However, as per OAF developer guide, it is not possible to change the label for the detail column. The devloper guide has the following:
"In accordance with BLAF guidelines, the Detail column header text for the detail disclosure column and the Show/Hide link texts within the cells of the detail disclosure column can not be modified."

How to export structure DB to text file

I want to export structure DB to text file for report to my manager.
example: any objects(tables, indexs, constraints) and He need DDL command ("create table" command etc.)
How to do this?

Varies by database version.
I would investigate DBMS_METADATA as described in the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference manual and demoed in the Utilities guide at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=3

Exporting historical data to text file with MAX misses columns of data?

I am using Labview 7.1 with DSC module 7.1 and wants to export data to either excel format or .txt.
I have tried this with the historical data export in MAX, and also programmatically with the "write traces to spreadsheet file.vi" available in the DSC module. All my tags in my tag engine file (*.scf) are defined to log data and events. Both the update tag engine deadband and the update database are set to 0 %.
My exported excel or text file seems reasonalbe except that some columns of data are missing. I dont understand
why data from these tags are not in the exported files since they have the same setup in the (.scf) as other tags which are okay exported?
All defined tags can be seen using the NI hypertrend or MAX. Also the ones that are not correctly exported to file.
Appreciate comments on this.
Best regards,
Ingvald Bardsen

I am using LV and DSC 7.1 with PCI-6251 and max 4.2. In fact, just one column of values does not make sense. In attachment, follows the excel exported file. The last of column called ...V-002 that is the problem. I put probes for checking values but them shows correct. When the file is exported that to show values wrong.
The problem of missing values in column i solved putting 0% in field of deadband.
thank you for your help

Add time stamp array into first column of text file

I am writing daq output to a file by using array to spreadsheet string vi then write that to a file but I would like to add a time stamp array into the first column of the text file. How do I do this?

When you use a DAQmx Read, you have the option of returning a waveform data type. This includes time data. If you were to use this and either Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File or Write Measurement File, this would included. To stick with the regular Write to Spreadsheet File, you would have to create an array of timestamps yourself based on a start time and the sample rate of the DAQ. Then you would convert this and the data array to strings and use the string array type of Write to Spreadsheet instead of the DBL type.

Data management - Export Data on a text file and work on Excel/Acces

Hello,
When i use the Data Export tool in order to retreive all Accounts data, the CRM creates a txt file with more than 255 columns (number of record type by account). Then I can't import them in a new Access database because Access import tool do not accepts too many columns. So, i try to open it in Excel by import text file. However, some Accounts have a comment in a large text field and, when Excel converted the text file, datas are shifted compared with the column headers because of this specific "comments" record type.
Is someone knows whether it's possible to reduce the number of record type exported by selecting specific ones or knows a process to import on Excel/Access which resolved this problem of position ?
Regards,
Guillaume

Guillaume, you can create a historical account report and specify the fields you want and then download to Excel. Also, if you use the export utility which provides a CSV file format with more than 255 columns, delete the columns you do not want to get it under 255 and then convert to Excel.

Export table data in text file

hi,
i am using oracle 8.0.7 , i want to export a table data in to text file, thanks in advance
Noman ul haq

2 options:
1) Spool the query results into a file using SQL*PLUS
2) If you can use the Oracle Server, look at the UTL_FILE package. This writes files, but ONLY to the Oracle server. It will NOT write out to your client machine. Your DBA will need to add an entry to allow for the UTL_FILE package to write out to the directory you choose.
Hope that helps - the documentation should have detailed usage of UTL_FILE package. Or search on this site b/c this is a common question - see it at least 3 times a week.

How to export waveform data into text file

Hi..
I am trying to export my waveform graph data into write spreadsheet file. When running the proram, I am getting graph values (values in a matrix) when checking with the probe. But once I save it to a text file, the values recorded are just zeros. I have attached the text file along with this. Could anyone please tell me why the graph data is not recorded in the spreadsheet? I have extracted the Y component of the graph and then wired it to the write to spreadsheet function. It seems like the labview is getting the data.. but now the problem is how to get the data out of labview?

Please find the attched image of the whole program. I tried running the program after removing the array to matrix but still I am not able to export the graph values to spreadsheet. The program as a whole is working as I am able to display the oscilloscope graph into the waveform graph but I am not able to export the values. When I tried using probes, I am getting differnet matrix values till the end of the connection given to 'write to spreadsheet' but not able to export the values. The second image shows the write to spreadsheet file inside the while loop as i thought it will reduce the memory.. but it is still not working...

Exporting table data into text files

I got a request to export the data from about 85 tables into 85 text files. I assume that they will want a header row and some delimiter character. This is a process that must run every night by a sql job.
Obviously I want it to be flexible. Tables could be addede and removed and columns could be added and removed. There will probably be a control table that has the list of tables to export.
Looked at bcp - but seems that it is command line only?
SSIS package?
What other options are there?

Wanted to post my solution. Ended up using bcp in a PowerShell Script. I was unable to use bcp in SQL because it requires xp_cmdshell and that is not allowed at many of our client sites. So wrote a Powershell script that executes bcp. The ps script
loops through a table that contains a row for each table/view to export along with many values and switches for the table/view export: export path, include column headers, enclose each field in double quotes, double up embedded double quotes, how to format
dates, what to return for NULL integers - basically the stuff that is not flexible in bcp. To get this flexibility I created a SQL proc that takes these values as input and creates a view. Then the PS bcp does a SELECT on the view. Many of my tables are
very wide and bcp has a limit of 4000/8000. Some of my SELECT statements ended up being GT 35k in length. So using a view got around this size limitation.
Anyway, the view creation and bcp download is really fast. It can download about 4 gb of data in 20 minutes. It can download it faster the 7z can zip it.
Below is the SQL proc to format the SELECT statement to create the view for bcp (or some other utility like SQLCMD, Invoke-SQLCMD) or SQL query by "SELECT * from v_ExportData". the proc can be used from SQL or PS, or anything that can call a SQL
Proc and then read a SQL view.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
ExportTablesCreateView
Description:
Read in a tablename or viewname with parameters and create a view v_ExportTable of the
data. The view will typically be read by bcp to download SQL table data to flat files.
bcp does not have the options to include column headers, include fields in double quotes,
format dates or use '0' for integer NULLS. Also, bcp has a limit of varhar 4000 and
wider tables could not be directly called by bcp. So create the v_ExportTable and have
bcp SELECT v_ExportTable instead of the original table or view.
Parameters:
@pTableName VARCHAR(128) - table or view to create v_ExportTable from
@pColumnHeader INT =1 - include column headers in the first row
@pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1 - put double quotes " around all column values including column headers
@pDouble_EmbeddedDoubleQuotes INT = 1 - This is usually used with @pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1. 'ab"c"d would be 'ab""c""d.
@pNumNULLValue VARCHAR(1) = '0' - NULL number data types will export this value instead of bcp default of ''
@pDateTimeFormat INT = 121 - DateTime data types will use this format value
Example:
EXEC ExportTablesCreateView 'custname', 1, 1, 1, '0', 121
@pTableName VARCHAR(128),
@pColumnHeader INT = 1,
@pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1,
@pDouble_EmbeddedDoubleQuotes INT = 1,
@pNumNULLValue VARCHAR(1) = '0',
@pDateTimeFormat INT = 121

How do I export Address Book to text file?

I want to create a separate database for my professional contacts using Excel or Filemaker. Right now I have them all in Address Book. If I could just export my database as a tab-delimited text file.

The AB file
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
is a SQLite3 database. You can extract data with
http://menial.co.uk/software/base/
or Firefox SQLite manager

Export address book group text file?

Hi,
I need to get a group of addresses to a friend who can not use the vcard format. I need to do it in a text file format, but don't see any way in address book to do that.
Can you help?
Meg

The vcards are actually text files - you can read them with BBEdit or Text Editor.
One way to achieve what you want is clumsy but may be workable, depending on the number in the group and what your friend plans to do with them. In Address Book, select the group and go to File/Print. Choose the List style, select the fields to be included and then click the PDF button and save the group as a PDF. Send the PDF to your friend. Friend can open it, click the "Select Text" tool, select the data and copy it off to whatever is to receive it.
Another more standard way would be to run applescript to pull the data you need into a comma-separated or tab-separated data file which can be imported into spreadsheet or address book programs. Several versions of such scripts have been posted here recently, or there are various importer/exporter scripts available on the internet.
