Txt-reader (not really a database question)

Hello! I found this txt-reading class when googling for such a thing. http://www.kodejava.org/examples/28.html
I am able to use this class to read text from a file, however, the swedish characters ÅÄÖ are causing trouble in the output text. Is there any way to add support for these characters in this class?
I know very little about file management, I was simply looking for a finished class to do the job for me. since I am not capable of solving this problem by myself, I need your help!
is there a way to avoid the trouble I am having with the foreign characters, or is there a better way to display text from *.txt files? My quest is to display text in a JTextArea.

I tested replacing that line with the code you posted, but it got the same output as last time. UTF-8 should be fine since that is what I am using on my linux system.That's not a guarantee. Where did the file come from? That's what's important. I could make a text file with whatever character set I choose and send it to you; that doesn't mean that you using UTF-8 will be able to read it. I highly recommend reading [this article|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html].
Anyhow, how do I check if "åäöÅÄÖ" is included in UTF-8? Or might anything else be wrong?Those are surely included in UTF-8, as UTF-8 is a Unicode transformation format (UTF) and can represent (I believe) any Unicode code point. I would rather make sure that the font you're using to display the console (be it from Eclipse, from a terminal, etc) has support for those characters.

do the files need to be xp type.....for example if i have a win ME on one hard drive and xp home on the other...

Howdy...
If you have large amount of files.....let's say...in GIGBYTES....then create another partiton on your HD ...and move your important files to that partiton..and format other partiton...and then its up to you ..what you do next....You can leave those files on that partiton..so..you dont have to worry about them when you format your HD ...just dont format that partition......you know what i mean...
Its much faster...and safer ....(you dont have to worry about cd scratches...)
but if you need those files with you ..then use...Del UK ...example...

& nbsp; and pre Question: OT- Not Really a DW Thing

I posted a question on this a couple of weeks ago. The poet that I'm building this site for makes pictures with words and does so using spaces and returns. It means that depending on the editor she uses, we end up with awful looking code absolutely chocka with <br />, or <p>'s and these s. Anyway, the nett result from the discussion previously was to use the <pre> element which, handily is offered as an option in the wordpress post editor.
So now I have decided to go with <pre> as a container for the picotpoems, I'm still a little confused.
If the poet uses Notepad and cut's and pastes into the Wordpress editor she can introduce a million characters but if I reproduce the poem and strip all that out, and add the spaces in teh wordpress editor I don't see any characters and the code looks a lot cleaner. Incidentally, so far, I only see them using Firebug and the view source option in FF and IE8 don't show them.
Here's the poet using Notepad: http://www.pictopoetry.co.uk/2011/01/whip-lash-2/
Here's my version typed direct: http://www.pictopoetry.co.uk/2011/01/whip/
Both poems indicate adult content: They are not really Adult, just a bit er... suggestive.
Here are my questions:
Is either way better?
Am I losing sleep needlessly worrying about those s
Why does Firebug show them and Veiw>Source in the browser doesn't
Thanks

For a forgotten password: go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
For forgotten security questions log in at http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Password and Security' in the sidebar. There should be a link in the Security Questions section to send the answers to an email you have specified. Failing this, go to https://getsupport.apple.com click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'.

Error: Could not read Metadata from Portal Database !

Hi All!
My problem is when i am trying to open the portal page (Oracle 10G)

then i have an Error: Could not read Metadata from Portal Database.
And i do not know why because everything is up and running. I can connect and browse my database schema with portal user. I can connect to pls/orasso and where ever i want.

Hi Andreas,
I've changed the permissions to 775 and changed the ownership of /sapcd (volume name) to orasid:dba (including all files within the staging area /sapcd/ora-patch).
So the permissions and ownership seems to be fine.
I've also ran your suggested commands but the issue still exists.
I'm now liasing with our UNIX guy to check if there is any underlying permission issues on the volume (sapcd) that may be causing this problem.
In the mean time, let me know if you have any further thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris

Question about finding whether a reference number is NOT in the database?

Hello,
I use the following code to test whether the reference number is in the database
<ul><li>CURSOR cur_yellow</li></ul>
<ul><li>IS SELECT</li></ul>
<ul><li>REFERENCE_NO,</li></ul>
<ul><li>COMPANY_NAME</li></ul>

<ul><li> END IF;</li></ul>
<ul><li> END LOOP;</li></ul>
<ul><li> CLOSE cur_yellow;</li></ul>
Do you have any ideas for how to write code to test whether the reference number is NOT in the database.
Thanks

Hallo,
in general, yes, but I think , it will be better without cursor:
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select 1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = : ind_name) USING ''DOUGLASMYINDEX'
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;
Is it necessary to perform it in dynamic SQL ?
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
select 1 into v_1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = ''DOUGLASMYINDEX''')
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;

Why signed and get "access denied (java.io.FilePermission hello.txt read)"?

I am learning the Java tools and policy to create some local browser application for personal use. So I signed a jar file with jarsigner, keytool and policytool and still trying to figure out why my browser application cannot read a simple local text file.
My question are
1. Why use java policy tool (policytool.exe)? If I signed a .jar with keytool and jarsigner, do I really need java policytool to write a policy?
2. What is the maximum validity days? 365? or more? Do I need to sign again when validity expire?
3. I don't want any of my local browser application gets to internet but only work with local files (read, write, or execute). how do I do that?
4. how to use java security policy to grant access to the jar applet? where do I place and import the policy file so the hosting web browser and the applet can work?
My java applet is a simple class that read a text line from a local file in the same folder, and pass the result to a calling web browser Javascript.
Currently the result in the web page is the error message below, even though the jar is signed correctly.
access denied (java.io.FilePermission hello.txt read)
Someone please help and enlight the newbie!

.. So I signed a jar file with jarsigner, keytool and policytool and still trying to figure out why my browser application cannot read a simple local text file.
My question are
1. Why use java policy tool (policytool.exe)? If I signed a .jar with keytool and jarsigner, do I really need java policytool to write a policy?No. In fact, don't stuff around with policy files - they are a path to madness.
2. What is the maximum validity days? 365? or more?Keytool accepts an argument for the number of days to remain valid. I do not believe it has an upper limit, but it might be best to experiment with it and find out for yourself. Please report your findings back.
(2a) Do I need to sign again when validity expire?No, but the end user gets a huge warning that the certificate has expired. Further, if it was a certificate that was certified by a CA, the 'always trust' check box which used to default to true, would now default to false.
3. I don't want any of my local browser application gets to internet but only work with local files (read, write, or execute). how do I do that?I am not sure I understand, but if you only offer a JFileChooser for the applet to access resources, that should restrict it to resources off the local file-system. Of course, that would not restrict the end user from downloading something from the internet to their local disks, then accessing it using the applet.
4. how to use java security policy to grant access to the jar applet? where do I place and import the policy file so the hosting web browser and the applet can work?The only place it will work is in the JRE directories of the end-user's machine. Even if you find a way to install your local policy file, do not go messing with the end-user's policy files.
My java applet is a simple class that read a text line from a local file in the same folder,.. In the 'same folder' as what? (1)
..and pass the result to a calling web browser Javascript. That might be the problem. AFAIR, using JS with trusted applets causes the security to be tightened. Perhaps it could be fixed by calling System.setSecurityManager(null) on applet init(), but I have also seen references to using [AccessController.doPrivileged()|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/security/AccessController.html] to wrap the problematic code. I am hazy on the details of how/if that works.
Currently the result in the web page is the error message below, even though the jar is signed correctly.
access denied (java.io.FilePermission hello.txt read)
1) If the answer to my question is what I suspect, there may be better ways to access the resource that are usable even in a sand-boxed app.

Volume control not working , which database controls volume?

I have read this solution elsehwhere, but I came to the blackberry forums to see if you guys can help me up with this question.

1. Launch desktop manager
2. Synchronize with Outlook
3. Backup everything to a new database (not really needed, but just a precaution)
4. Restore old database (before volume got stuck at 0%)
5. Change synchronization conflict resolution options so that Outlook wins
6. Synchronize with Outlook
7. Change synchronization conflict resolution option back to "ask me what to do"
Voila. Now my media player volume is back to 50%, which is where it was when I did the last backup before accidentally ratcheting it down to 0%.
Whenever I restore a database, it always loses my Internet Browser. To get it back, go under Options / Advanced Options / Host Routing Table / Menu Key / Register Now / Ok. Unfortunately, I'm back to all the old bookmarks as they were in the old database, but I can always re-do those changes.
[quote]
Okay I Could restore an old database where the volume was at 50%, but the Desktop Media Manager also has an option to restore specific options that were previously backed up .
SO my question is, does anyone know what specific database controls the volume control? SO I won't have to do a FULL Database restore?
Thank You :smile:

Long shot, but...

11gR2 Install Error, Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it

Hi all,
I'm currently studying towards my OCA, I've passed 1z0-051 (SQL Fundementals I), and now I'm moving onto 1z0-052 (Admin 1).
Im really having trouble creating a database in Oracle 11g R2 Enterprise Edition. I install the software no problem. Then I create a database, and during the creation I have to createsa listener which uses TCP (default port:1521) and IPC. whilst creating the database I get the following error
'Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it. Start the Listener and register database service and run EM configuration Assistant again.'
Now, before you lynch me, I have searched this forum for answer to this for a day and a half. I've also tried google, i just can't find a answer that sorts out my problem. please assist me.

SOLVED!
OK all solved now, thanks to the link to Ed Stevens website that Baris posted (mucho respect )
Seems that like Barus said I was not using Dynamic Registration, which means that I would need to manua
ly update the listerner.ora file. On top of that it seems that for some my tnsnames.ora wasn't resolving mt database name so the tnsping wasfailing.
What I did to solve the name resolution problem
1. Opened the
Network Configuration Assistant and saw that my listener didnt have my DB registered with it. So I added it. What this horrible GUI tool does is update the tnsnames and listener.ora files for you. So once that was done I went to the command prompt and did ;'tnsping <dn name> and hey presto it was getting a nice response.
Then I re-ran my DB Configuration Assistant and tried to reconfigure my database. However it aing failed and gave me the same message that I was originally getting about the DB Service not being registered etc..the lister status still said that same thing:
Services Summary...
Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
the 'unknown' means that the DB didnt tell the listener that it was there but instead the listener is in manual mode and will just use the configuration in the listener.ora to know where the DB is.
So then I followed the steps on the ED Stevens website (follow the link). He has steps which show how to enable Dynanmic registration so that your DB regusters itself with the listener. In a nutshell, he states that he listener actually doesnt need the listerner.ora if using dynamic registration. I shutdown the DB, stopped the listener then I renamed the lsitener.ora to listerner.old, then started the lietener and checked the status and it said 'the listener supports no service' I then started the DB and, then resched teh listener status, it then read 'status: READY'... hooray!, the DB had dynamically registered itself with the listener. I then was able to successfully start up and run Enterprise Manager.
Thanks for all your help Baris, and Ed Steven website.
I know more now than when I started so I'm happy.
Thanks.

Files disappeared from library, "missing" files not really missing

I had a folder with 3 files in different formats for each image. These were imported several days ago, grouped into stacks, captioned, tagged, etc. and synced to the files. They continued to exist in the library some time afterward, but today when I opened lightroom all of the jpg versions of all of the images and all 3 formats of one image in particular had vanished from the library. It did not claim that it could not find them on disk (and in fact the files *do* still exist on disk right where they should), they just didn't show up. I was able to re-import all of the jpg images without trouble, but for the other two formats of the one missing image, importing one of them fails because it "already exists in the library," and the other one is willing to import but then doesn't show up in the folder or the recently imported files list. When I try to synchronize the folder, it suggests that I import that file, but it never actually does. Since importing the jpgs, it also suggests that I remove 53 "missing" files, the number of jpgs imported. When I view the missing files in the library, it shows only 2 of the jpgs, one of which belongs with the files that will not import and neither of which is actually missing--they can both be synchronized just fine by clicking the little synchronize icon on the actual photo.
Does anyone know what's going on here and how I might be able to get the files that won't import back into the library? And how to be sure that files won't just go away on their own again?
Edit: to be clear, missing versions of files were definitely not stacked with the other ones and the "don't import duplicates" box was not checked when re-importing the ones that won't re-import

I managed to get the photos that wouldn't import back in by deleting them directly out of the database and then reimporting them into lightroom. I'm a little concerned that they disappeared in the library view in the first place, though. Does this sort of thing happen often, and under what circumstances? I'm still in the free trial period and was very close to buying the program, but now I'm not so sure. If I'm using an application to manage my photos, I want to know that it's actually managing all of the photos I put into it and not randomly forgetting about them.
I'm still having the not-really-missing files problem, though. I think it may actually be because they got associated as "sidecar" files somehow and are now in there twice, once as the sidecar file and another time as a separate jpg image. I'm not really sure why only one of them shows up in the missing images view, I think it might be because I edited that one so it's in a slightly different state from the others? If there are any tips on how to resolve that state, I'm all ears, I'd like it to stop telling me I have 53 missing files when I don't.
