Update on importing csv file for drop down options

My search on this topic provided me with a suggestion for the capability to upload a csv file for drop down options. However, the discussion was from April 2011. Has any progress been made on this since?
Thanks.

Import-csv file for robocopy

I am using a powershell script which imports a csv file to copy directories.
Since the folders which I need to copy contain spaces I use double quotes in the csv file.
Although I don't get the right syntax when I use import-csv
Either there are too many quotes in the source and/or destination folder or too few quotes.
the robocopy command should work fine if there are quotes at the beginning and the end of each folder.
So I started with the following syntax in my csv file:
source;destination
"source folder";"destination folder"
If I run the import-csv command with the content listed above it only shows double quotes at the destination folder.
so I started adding additonal double quotes around the source folder, it seems toe be an easy thing, but I didn't find the correct amount of double quotes to get the source and destination folder both starting and ending with double quotes.
any suggestion how to fix this ?

I agree with jrv, do some reading to get a basic understanding of the concepts
The script I posted was just an example of how to enclose the data in quotes, since the quotes are removed when importing a csv, they are only there for the purpose of the data containing a comma (,). So now we need to put them back since, your paths contains
spaces and breaks your robocopy.
Import-Csv F:\Testing\test.csv -Delimiter ";" | Foreach {
"""$($_.Source)""" + " " + """$($_.destination)"""
After I import the csv file, I send it over to the Foreach-Object cmdlet, this takes pipeline data and processes it. the $_ is the current object on the pipe line, hence me doing $_.Source
With your script, you are doing
$CsvFile = ".\test.csv"
$srchome = "c:\source location"
$dsthome = "c:\destination location"
$Logfile = ".\copy.log"
$csv = Import-CSV $CsvFile -Delimiter ';'
foreach ($folder in $csv)
$srcdoc = $srchome +$folder.source
$dstdoc = $dsthome +$folder.destination
robocopy $srcdoc $dstdoc /z /e /np /MIR /COPY:DAT /r:10 /w:30 /log+:$LogFile
You are saving the results from Import-Csv to a variable $csv, then looping through the variable. So if you possible did the following it would work as my script showed
$srcdoc = """$($srchome$folder.source)"""
$dstdoc = """$($dsthome$folder.destination)"""
Now by looking at your script I am assuming that all the source and destination paths in your csv are \somepath\somepath\.... since the srchome and dsthome do not have a ending \??
You can clean up the script to be
$csvFile = ".\test.csv"
$srchome = "c:\source location"
$dsthome = "c:\destination location"
$logfile = ".\copy.log"
Import-Csv $csvFile -Delimiter ";" | ForEach-Object {
$srcDoc = """$($srcHome$_.Source)"""
$dstDoc = """$($dstHome$_.Destination)"""
RoboCopy $srcDoc $dstDoc /z /e /np /MIR /COPY:DAT /r:10 /w:40 /log+:$logFile

Looking for a Notes app that I can import CSV files into?

As the title says, I'm looking for a good notes application for my iPhone that I can import CSV files into. I have tried both Appigo and Notespark, but I can't easily scroll through them, as I have 2,000+ notes. Is there any app that I can import my notes into and also scroll through quickly? I'd like something that works similarly to how you scroll through songs on the iPhone/iTouch, with the column on the right where you can skip to songs (notes, in this case) that start with a certain letter.
Thanks!

Hi Tx Tar Heel,
I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
Hope this helps!

How to search a .csv file for data using its timestamp, then import to labview

Hi, I'm currently obtaining density, viscosity and temperature data from an instrument, adding a timestamp and writing it to a .csv file which I can view in Excel. This works fine (see attached code) but what I need to do now is to search that csv file for data which was obtained at a certain time, import the temperature, density & viscosity values at this time back into Labview to do some calculations with them, while the data acquisition process is still ongoing.
I've found various examples on how to import an entire csv file into labview, but none on how to extract data at a specific time. Also, whenever I try to do anything with the .csv file while my data acquistion VI is running, I receive error messages (presumably because I'm trying to write to and import data from the .csv file simultaneously). Is there some way around this, maybe using case structures?
If you need to know my skill level, I've been using Labview for a few weeks and prior to that have basically no experience of writing code, so any help would be great. Thanks!

It sounds as if you are going about this a little backwards writing to a data file and then extracting from the file but its the weekend so I can't think of an improved way to do it at the moment.
Searching for a specific time with those specific values is quite easy, or if you wanted to select any time then you could interpolate the values to find any value that you want (This is where the contiguous measurement comes in, as you have readings at discrete times you will have to interpolate the values if you want to get the 'measured value' at a time point that is not exactly one of your measured points).
If you can extract the TDMS time column and the T, D & V then simply thresholding and interpolating each of your array/data sets should allow readings at your desired times.

I want to save my Thunderbird contact list as csv file for importing to Verizon net mail

I can find abook.mab but verizon will only accept csv.

The old times way, is create a record in Verizon's address book. and export it to CSV.
Open in Notepad
Open you other CSV file in Notepad.
Compare the headings and make them the same in the import book as are present in the one you exported. There is no need for all fields/Headings to be included, but as the comma separates data as well as headings it is much easier to do in a spreadsheet as Wole columns must be manipilated as one.
I talks a little about it [http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html here] in relation to Thunderbird import of CSv. It almost always requires a manual tweak, as the standard has about half a dozen common implementations. they are not truly interchangeable and most web applications only support on or two of them. Opening in a spreadsheet as I do in my blog post is about the most universal way to open a CSV file. The spreadsheet authors have invested considerable time in the format as it is one of the oldest methods of interchanging data. It is also one of the least friendly for those who are used to clicking a button as it has roots on mainframes on the 1950s and 60s.

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

How to import csv-file in Numbers 3.2.2.

I start using Numbers in stead of Excel. I would like to import csv-files from my bank, but when I open the csv-file in Numbers, everything is imported in the same cell. I composed a testfile: 01/08/2014,”text”,”more text”,”even more text” in Pages, exported to a textfile and changed the extension from .txt in .csv. It did not help, everything was in the same cell. What must be changed to become successful in importing csv-files? I am using Numbers 3.2.2. and an iMac with 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory with OS X 10.9.4.
Thanks, Joan Voormolen

You can do this using Pages. Without using outside scripts or functions. The Pages Find/Replace function will let you change the delimiter on the data in your file.
Open the file in Pages. Click Show Invisibles. (this will show you the delimiter used in the file)
If you see a * as the delimiter, that is a space. Some data files are space delimited. This is a really poor way to delimit numerical data files.
If you see a fat arrow to the right, the file is Tab delimited
Obviously, a comma is not a hidden character. Some files are comma delimited
Whatever else might have been used as a delimiter (for example a semi colon is sometimes used) will be apparent.
The delimiter should be something that is not used anywhere else in the "data"... text, numbers, etc., you want to delimit. Numbers considers a comma as a valid delimiter for files with the suffix .csv . It considers a tab as a valid delimiter with files with the suffix .txt . It does not consider spaces a valid delimiter in with any file suffix. But some programs use odd delimiters (semi colon, colon, double spaces, etc) as delimiters.
Use the Find command, then Find/Replace as you need to create that delimiter numbers recognizes. Let's say a semi colon was used as a delimiter. Enter the current delimiter (semi colon) into the Find box. Pages should highlight all the instances of your entry. Enter a comma (to create comma delimited data file) in the Replace box. You should now see a comma as the delimiter.
Important Don't forget, any other comma used in the file will also be considered a delimiter. (a comma in 1,000 for example). So check the data. If you see a comma used another way you will want to eliminate that BEFORE you do the "comma as delimiter" replacement. If you have 1,000, do a find/replace with comma as the find, nothing as the replace, first. THEN do the replacement of the semi colon.
Now comes the "tricky" part from what I could see. You want to save this new file with a suffix of .csv. (Export the file) Numbers will only open a comma delimited file with separated data (by comma) if it's suffix is .csv. Pages only gives you limited export options and puts the file suffix on for you automatically. CSV is not one of the options!
Choose Text. Pages will name the file .txt. Quit Pages. Go to the file on your desktop (or wherever you saved it). Change the file suffiix from .txt to .csv.
That's it. Open the file with Numbers. Numbers will create a separate column for everything between the comma's.
You can use this same method to alter your data file before you import it into Numbers. For example, one file I wanted to import had time=xxx . I only wanted the actual time, not the text attached to it, in my spreadsheet. I did a find/replace with "time=" as the find. A comma as the replace. Even though "time=xxx" is one "word", Pages identified the "time=" within the word to allow the replacement.
Numbers does not provide a "choose delimiter" function when opening a file. Instead it automatically uses the standard delimiter based on the file suffix. CSV means Comma, so if the file is named .csv it will only look for and use a comma as the delimiter to put the data into separate columns. I believe .txt uses only a tab as the delimiter. In the above example you could find/replace to a Tab. Then Export to Text. And numbers will open the data into columns the way you want, without the extra step of renaming the file on your desktop.
While some files use a second space (ie two in a row) as a delimiter that's a nasty way to delimit. You always want a specific delimiter that is not used within the data element.
The above is to import numerical data into separate columns. You could use the same method to manipulate a file that contains text. Let's say you had a file with the suffix .txt. In the file are names and addresses. John Smith 246 Rose Road . You want Name in one column. Address in another. Look at all the spaces, which ones should be delimiters which not? Are there any delimiters in the file?
If you open with Pages and choose show invisibles you can see. You might see John Smith --> 246 Rose Road. (the --> will look like a fat arrow in Pages). Numbers will open this file, IF it has .txt as the suffix, based on the Tab, with name in one column, Address in another.
Or you might see John*Smith**246*Rose*Road. Even though the creator of this intended two spaces to be a delimiter Numbers does not recognize that. Numbers will put everything into one column. The fix? In Pages, put a tab between name and address. Find/replace two spaces with Tab. Export, as Text.
Based on what you see (with show invisible active) in Pages, you can use the Find/Replace function to create the specific delimiter you want (tab or comma). You can use that function to manipulate the file easily so the data you want shows up in separate columns. You may need to get clever to accomplish the unique delimiters. You might even need to do two passes with Find/Replace.
In the instance above if there was only one space between each element. (not two as a pseudo delimiter) You could replace all spaces with a tab in Pages. Export as Text. Numbers will open that file with a column for each word (one for John, one for Smith). Then "Merge" the two cells (columns) you want to put back together.

Csv files for OBIA procurement and spend analytics

hi,
which csv files we need to configure in order to install OBIA 7.9.6.3 procurement and spend analytic for EBS R12 1 3 as source?
In documentation, oracle given set of files for 11i & R12? do we need to configure csv files for both version ???
As per documentation,counter files for , CSV files req for source as 11i are not there in R12???
please guide???

Hi,
To be safe, configure all of the domain value files documented in the section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19039/configsupplychain.htm#CACIEBBH
Do this regardless of whether they state 11i or R12 in the filename. Some of the files have not changed from 11i adapters, so the filenames have not been updated e.g. domainValues_Employee_Expense_Type_ora11i.csv
Please mark if helpful / correct,

Importing CSV file and parsing it

First of all I am very new to writing powershell code. Therefore, my question could be very rudimentary, but I cannot find an answer, so please help.
I'm trying to read a CSV file and parse it. I cannot figure out how to access nth element without hardcoding its name.
$data = Import-Csv $file #import CSV file
# read column headers (manually read the first row of the data file, or import it from other source, or ...)
$file_dump = Get-Content $file #OK, I'm sure there is another way to get just the first line, but that's not relevant
$name_list = $file_dump[0].split(",")
# access element
$temp = $data[$i].Name # works - but that's HARDCODING the column name into the script - what if someone changes it?
#but what I want to do is
$temp = $data[$i].$name_list[0]
How do I do this in PowerShell?

So you're asking how to get the first data point from the first column, no matter what the header is?
Why won't you know what your input file looks like?
You can always drop the first line of the file to remove the existing headers and then use the -Header parameter of Import-Csv to give yourself known headers to reference (this will only work if you know how many columns to expect, etc etc etc).

Mav Contacts does not import csv file

Trying to import my Outlook exchange contacts to Mavericks Contacts. Exported from outlook to excel. Saved excel file to csv format. Tried to import csv file to Mavericks Contacts: Error message says the csv file is not compatible. Also imported the csv file to Numbers and saved again as another csv file. Same error message. Suggestions?

The following was copied from the Contacts Help.
Import contact information saved or exported from other apps. The files can be in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) or text format (tab-delimited or comma-separated value (CSV)).
If you’re importing a tab-delimited or CSV file, make sure it’s formatted correctly using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information.
Make sure that fields in a tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after tabs.
Make sure that fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.
In Contacts, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels.
If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made to all cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select “Ignore first card.”
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

Hello Experts. Documentation say that there is sample CSV files for modules that come with delivered BI content. I am planning to work with the demo content which i have already installed. I then need to populate the objects with the relevant demo data that is said to be in the CSV files that come with the demo content. Please let me know from where i can get these CSV files. Good day.

Hi Huggins,
There are sample csv data in AL11 in the work directory. You may want to look through here to see if the csv files you require are there.
