Uploading data to BW from a TEXT file , string fields show error

I am trying to upload a TEXT file to SAP BW:
City     Value   Date
City1    100.00   20060101
City2    200.00   20060102
City3    300.00   20060103
The text file has 3 fields:
City (CHAR -STRING)
Value (Numc)
Date   (Dats)
I have defined a file source system, the infosource and the datasource in order to upload the text file to BW.
When uploading the infopackage of the text file, an error appears for the infoobject of type CHAR (STRING).
The PSA is loading the record but it is in RED status showing that the characters are not allowed in the CITY field.
The upload is made right if i substitute the string with a number, then the upload shows the green light.
I need to upload string values to the CITY infoobject in my infocube, but the infopackage shows the red light when the text file includes characters like 'City1', it only permits numbers in the CHAR field.
Please help me in order to upload a text file with CHAR (string) values to BW.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
I am working with CSV files.

Hi Cempro,
Always remember, the input file should have upper case letters. In your case, you have given in lowercase , so please change to upper case and run the Infopackage again. This should go fine.
note: If the input file has lowercase letters, it need a different approach, meaning, you need to check few boxes. So, to avoid all thet, just change in your input file and just run the Infopackage.
Remember, to do an ENTER at the "input file" section in the "external data" tab in Infopackage screen. This way, you are instructing the Infopackage to use the newly changed file.
Thanks,
Raj

Import data into oracle from a text file?

hi guys,
How can we import data into oracle9i release 1 from a text file with comma seperated or tab seperated delimeters?
please help,

table is already created, just have to populate data into table through a dat or text file. As suggested, you would either:
1). use SQL*Loader to load the data into this table.
2). create external table on that data file and then do:
INSERT INTO your_real_table
SELECT * FROM that_external_table ;

How to remove noisy data points read from a text file

Reading data measurements taken in from a txt file. How do I get rid of noise aside from going into the text file and deciding point by point what to delete.

Well going in point by point and deleting is certainly one way of going about it. Of course that would defeat the entire purpose of having this great programming enviroment that is capable of doing that kind of thing for us.
Is your text file small enough to upload? Obviously you know what the criteria are for judging whether or not a data point is acceptable so it should be simple enough to program. Give us a bit more information and I can assure you there will be a race between LabVIEW experts to see who can post the cleanest, simplest, and fastest piece of code that will do what you need. My wager is on altenbach, but there are a few others here that are almost as impressive.

GUI_UPLOAD can't upload data in a tab-delimited text file

Hi.
I was trying to upload data in a tab-delimited textfile.
I could do it for a ASC textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'ASC'), but I couldn't do it for a tab-delimited textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'DAT').
Any help is appreciated.

hi kian,
If u r using DAT file then HAS_FIELD_SEPERATOR should contain X.
check the following code:
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename. " File Name.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 exporting
 filename = p_file " NAME of the file
 filetype = 'DAT'
 has_field_separator = 'X ' " X indicates Fields are separated by tabs.
 tables
 data_tab = t_file " Internal table that contains the file data
 exceptions
 file_open_error = 1
 file_read_error = 2
 no_batch = 3
 gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
 invalid_type = 5
 no_authority = 6
 unknown_error = 7
 bad_data_format = 8
 header_not_allowed = 9
 separator_not_allowed = 10
 header_too_long = 11
 unknown_dp_error = 12
 access_denied = 13
 dp_out_of_memory = 14
 disk_full = 15
 dp_timeout = 16
 others = 17.
IF the file type is DAT then following rules applies.
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the
table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be
separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
- I or N or P or F
 The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation
 defined in the user settings.
 - D
 The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the
 user settings.
 - T
 The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

How to import data into JTable from a text file?

thanks in advance!

My guess is you will have to read the data in from the file, parse it, populate some vectors or something and use those vectors to instantiate the JTable. You could use FileReader to read in the data:
FileReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));then use StringTokenizer to parse it.

How to save input from a text file in to array

I got this assignment, and almost have no clue, and my teacher doesn't even teaches us anything
This is what i am suppose to do
5. The program must store the following data about each student in this Talent Show:
* The student's name (store as a String)
* The student's average time score [only for the events they competed in] (store as a Double)
Note: Some of the data comes directly from the text file, and some of the data must be calculated from the data that is read from the file.
6. The program must search through all of the student's scores to find the student who has the minumum average time of all students.
7. You must calculate how many events each student played. Zero values are not counted.
8. You must then generate a report on the screen that prints out
* the total number of students in the competition,
* the winning student's ...
o name
o times
o average time (rounded to one decimal places)
Sample output
btw this is the data file

How to input data into an arraylist from a text file?

I am trying to take data from a text file and put that data into an arraylist. First here is the text file:
[item1, 10, 125.0, item2, 10, 12.0, item3, 20, 158.0]
3
4530.0
[item5, 65, 555.5, item4, 29, 689.0]
2
56088.5
[item7, 84, 34.5, item6, 103, 0.5, item8, 85, 1.36]
3
3065.1The text between the [ ] is the output from my arraylists. I have three arraylists. The first [ ] belongs to arraylist A, the second to arraylist B, and the third to arraylist C. The format of the arraylists is this:
<item name>,<# in stock>,<value of one item>
The first number below the arraylists in the text file represents the number of items in the list. The second number below the arraylists represents the total value of the items in the arraylists.
Here is the class file I have (yes, it does everything):

}Right now I am stuck on this and I cannot progress any further until I figure out how to input the data in the text file back into a arraylist.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks but I figured it out. Heres a sample of the code i used to solve my problem:
try
 //Warehouse A BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader inA = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseA));
 //Warehouse B BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader inB = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseB));
 //Warehouse C BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader inC = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseC));
 //Warehouse details BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader inDetails = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileDetails));
 //Will hold values in warehouse arraylists.
 String lineA = null;
 String lineB = null;
 String lineC = null;
 //Will hold the details of each warehouse.
 String line1 = null;
 String line2 = null;
 String line3 = null;
 String line4 = null;
 String line5 = null;
 String line6 = null;
 //Get the item count and total value for each warehouse.
 while(inDetails.readLine() != null)
 line1 = inDetails.readLine();

How do you read data from a text file into a JTextArea?

I'm working on a blogging program and I need to add data from a text file named messages.txt into a JTextArea named messages. How do I go about doing this?

Student_Coder wrote:
1) Read the file messages.txt into a String
2) Initialize messages with the String as the textSwing text components are designed to use Unix-style linefeeds (\n) as line separators. If the text file happens to use a different style, like DOS's carriage-return+linefeed (\r\n), it needs to be converted. The read() method does that, and it saves the info about the line separator style in the Document so the write() method can re-convert it.

Neither of those methods applies to JTextAreas.

HI Martin,
i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
so what you can do:
write all the values in an array.
the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
the other option is to use the history function of the graphes

How to parse data from a text file with no convenient delimiters?

I need to read data from a text file. This file contains one line of data with the repeating pattern "time 00 ADVar2: ___ Height: ____ time 01 ADVar2: ___ Height: ___ ..." I need LabView to parse out the "time" and "height" values, build an array with the values, and graph the correlation on an X&Y plot. Does Labview have an automated way to read to the input data file and parse out the correct values, even without convenient delimiters? Thank you.

You actually do have a convenient delimiter: "time". Thus, you can make an array using that as the delimiter. Only caveat is that the first array element will be empty. Then you can conveniently use the Scan From String function in a for-loop. Something like this:

Read data from a text file, one line at a time.

I need to read data from a text file, and display each line in a String Indicator on Front Panel. It displays each line, but I get Error 4, End Of Line, unless I enter an extra line of data in the file that I don't need. I tried Read From Text File.vi, made by Nat Instr, and it gave the same error.

The Read from Text File.vi reads data from a text file line by line until the user stops the VI manually with the Stop button on the front panel, or until an error (such as "Error 4, End of file") occurs. If an error occurs, the Simple Error Handler.vi pops up a dialog that tells you which error occurred.
The Read from Text File.vi uses a while loop, but if you knew how many lines you wanted to read, you could replace the while loop with a for loop set to read that many lines from the file.
If you need something more dynamic because the number of lines in your files vary, then you could change the code of the Read from Text File.vi to the expect "Error 4, End of file" and handle it appropriately. This would require unbundling the error cluster that comes fro
m the Read File function with the Unbundle By Name function, so that you can expose the individual error "status" and error "code" values stored in the cluster. If the value of the error "code" is 4, then you can change the error "status" from true to false, and you can rebundle the cluster with the Bundle by Name function. Setting the error "status" to false instructs the Simple Error Handler to ignore the error. Otherwise, pass the original error cluster to the Simple Error Handler.vi, so that you can see what the error is.
Of course, if you're not interested in what the errors are, you could just remove the Simple Error Handler.vi, but then you wouldn't see any error messages.
Best of Luck,

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE memory (+ 68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA memory (+ 59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
# CSV spec
# - record separator is CRLF
# - field separator is comma
# - every field is quoted
# - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012); # CRLF
local $, = qq(,); # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
 my $f = shift @ff; # file path
 if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
 warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
 next;
 $f =~ s%^.*/%%og; # file name
 @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
 while (<IN>) {
 chomp;
 $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
 ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
 ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;
 ($dd[4] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of XDATA\\s/o;
 ($dd[5] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of FARCODE\\s/o;
 last unless grep { /^$/ } @dd;
 close IN;
 print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
EOF
Hope this may help,

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.
