Tuff Question: How to create an XML file of Finder items (files & folders)

if you have an ideas on how i can do this please let me know. The goal is have an XML file that has an <item> list for all files and folders in the finder (even the hidden ones) that looks something like this:
<Item>
<kind>Folder</kind>
<name>Applications</name>
<size>800 MB </size>
<where></where>
</item>
<item>
<kind>Folder</kind>
<name>Utilities</name
<size>195.5 MB<size>
<where>/Applications<where>
</item>
thanks

If you are any good at Vim, you can rip and kill this fairly quickly using Terminal and some shell commands.

How to create an xml from xsd in abap

HI Experts,
i want to create an xml file from xsd and i want to validate an xml file against an xds.is this possible in abap.if it is possible can any one give me an sample code

any suggestions will be appriciated
thanks in advance
With Regards

HI
GOOD
IT IS POSSIBLE IN ABAP
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.
XSD->
XML Schemas express shared vocabularies and allow machines to carry out rules made by people. They provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents. in more detail.
XDS->
XDS can process data images from CCD-, imaging-plate, and multiwire-detectors in a variety of formats. Detector specific Input file templates greatly simplify the use of XDS; they are provided as part of the documentation.
XDS runs under Unix or Linux on a single server or a grid of up to 99 machines of the same type managed by the MOSIX system; in addition, by using OpenMP, it can be executed in parallel on up to 32 processors at each node that share the same address space.

How to create an XML document from a String.

Can anyone help,
     In the Microsoft XML Document DOM there is a load function load(string) which will create an XML document, but now we are switching to Java and I do not know how to create and XML document from a string, this string �xml document� is passed to my program from a webservice and I need to read several xml elements form it in a web server.
This string is a well formatted XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Countries NumberOfRecords="1" LanguageID="en-us">
     <Country>
          <CountryCode>AU</CountryCode>
          <CountryName>AUSTRALIA</CountryName>
     </Country>
</Countries>

Thanks PC!
I made it work using:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
factory.setIgnoringComments(true); // We want to ignore comments
// Now use the factory to create a DOM parser
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
//TransformThisStringBuffer is a string buffer wich contain the 'XML document (String)'
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(TransformThisStringBuffer.toString().getBytes());
// Parse the InputStream and build the document
Document document = parser.parse(in);
But which one is faster InputSource or InputStream, were would you put the "new InputSource(new StringReader(yourString))" in the above code?

How to Create an XML using Abap Objects

Hi there,
who has an example how to create an XML Document from an internal table using abap objects
e.g. Class CL_XML_DOCUMENT_BASE ?
any feedback is welcome.
thanks
Johann

Hi Johann,
You don't need a class to do the job if you are on a 6.10 or higher system. Use command CALL TRANSFORMATION to create an XML from an internal table.

How to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD struct

how to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD structure.Could anyone send me a sample code for this.

You'll need to associate an XSLT transformation with your XSQL page that transforms the canonical result into your DTD-valid format.
For example, given an XSQL page like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl" ?>
<xsql:query max-rows="3" connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
select title,id,description,url,to_char(timestamp,'Mon DD') timestamp
from site_entry
order by id desc
</xsql:query>and an "rss.xsl" stylesheet that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" doctype-system="rss-0.91.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title>Do You XML?</title>
<link>http://xml.us.oracle.com</link>
<description>Oracle XML Website Demo</description>
<language>en-us</language>
<xsl:for-each select="ITEM">
<item>
<title><xsl:value-of select="TITLE"/></title>
<link><xsl:value-of select="URL"/></link>
<description><xsl:value-of select="DESCRIPTION"/></description>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
</channel>
</rss>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>You produce DTD-valid output against the rss-0.91.dtd DTD that looks like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE rss SYSTEM "rss-0.91.dtd">
<rss version="0.91">

<title>Do You XML?</title>

How to create menu function for link to open file

Hi,
I need help how to create menu function for link to access file and allow user to save the file when click on it.
The file will keep inside server.
Thank you.
Regards,
Wilson

I need help how to create menu function for link to access file and allow user to save the file when click on it.
The file will keep inside server.AFAIK, you have to write a custom code to achieve this and Oracle does not provide this functionality.
If you want to store the file as an attachment, please see (How to Store Image/PDF Attachments on the File System in 11i and R12 (like Attachment File Directory) [ID 294525.1]).

Prabhu.
I didn't question you about points at all - I was making the point that you have been on SDN a long time and have a lot of points. Therefore you should know better than to simply cut and paste standard SAP help. If you don't copy and paste for sake of points, what do you do it for? It serves no purpose other than to fill up the servers here on SDN. The original poster appears to have access to a SAP system and SE37 and wants to know how to call a BAPI - they can easily go to SE37 and read the documentation themselves. Posting it here just adds noise and makes searching harder, as well as taking up more and more space on SDN servers.

How to Create a Cross Reference of an item in an E-Business Suite

Hi ,
I need Help ,how to Create a cross reference of an item in an E-Business Suite
Regards
Srini

Hello Srini,
Prerequisite to create a cross reference for an item in eBusiness suite is that the item should be created in the master organization and assigned to your organization.
Navigate to screen Inventory > Items > Cross references. Enter a name for your cross reference.
Then, click on Assign : a screen is opened. In this screen, you can enter Item and Cross reference value. Note that a cross reference can be defined for an organization or common to all organizations.
Another kind of cross reference you can create is Customer item (it defines how a customer designates your item). It can be defined through screen
Inventory > Customer item > Customer Item and Customer item cross references.
Please refer to Inventory user guide for more detail about this functionalities.

How to create hard links in the Finder?

Does OS X provide any way to create hard links for files, or is using the Terminal and the "ln" command the only way to do so?

You can create an alias in the Finder using File -> Make Alias or by command-option-dragging a file. An alias is similar to a hard link. If you're already aware of this and specifically want to make a hard link and not an alias, that's something you'll have to do in the Terminal.

How to create multiple BOM of same parent item?

Hi All,
Please guide me, How to create multiple BOM of same parent item? I tried but system throws a message as same Parent Item already exist in the table. I am afraid if system supports this functionality or not?

Hi,
You are welcome.......
Well the exact process would be as I mentioned in my previous post.
1. Create the BOM for an item
2. Choose this item in the Production Order
3. Then in this Production order you can change/ delete/ add whichever item you want .
OR
If all the child items are completely different from the original BOM then you can use the Special Type BOM in which you can always create the BOM while creating the Production Order itself. There is no standard BOM here.

How to create an activity when system finds duplicate record!!

Hi CRM Experts,
I am working on CRM 5.0. We are uploading contact details to CRM through ELM.
Here My queries are:
1) How to create An Activity when system finds duplicate record?
2) By using ELM we can create BP with Activities and BP with Leads. But Here, my scenario is we have to Create BP with leads and Acivities. can any one help me on these areas?
Thank in Advance.
Sree

Hi Sree,
I can help you with your first query.
When the system finds a duplicate record then either the system stops working further or proceeds with the error free record.
So once the duplicate entry is found only the first record will be considered and not the second or the duplicate record.

Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.
(Windows) Start->Programs->Oracle BI Publisher Desktop->Demos
Invoice Demo - good one for those with E-Business Suite
