Using a text file to provide paths for copy-item

OK, please don't beat me over the head too much for this. I've been trying various methods all day and nothing seems to be working. I have a text file that has a list of folders (full paths including drive letters). I want to copy all of
the folders and their contents to another path. The destination path does not change (d:\temp\destination) but each of the folders in the text file should end up being subfolders of the destination
Sources:
d:\source1 (has file01.txt, file02.txt)
d:\source2 (has file03.txt, file04.txt)
Destination
d:\temp\destination
Should end up with something like
d:\temp\destination\source1\file01.txt
d:\temp\destination\source1\file02.txt
d:\temp\destination\source2\file03.txt
d:\temp\destination\source2\file04.txt
I've tried
Copy-Item -Path D:\Temp\paths.txt -Destination D:\Temp\attachments -recurse -Force
which just copies the file that contains my paths.
I've tried
foreach($line in (Get-Content -Path D:\Temp\paths.txt)){$dest_folder="D:\Temp\destination" | Copy-Item -path $line -destination $dest_folder -force -recurse}
I get an error that says
Copy-Item : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take
pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.
Would anyone mind helping me out here? If I need to create a file that has the source foldername as well as the destination path, I can do that, I just figured there has to be a way to specify a base directory and let powershell do its thing from there.

try
$SourcesFile = ".\sources.txt"
$Root = "d:\temp\destination"
foreach ($Source in (Get-Content -Path $SourcesFile)) {
$Destination = Join-Path -Path $Root -ChildPath (Split-Path -Path $Source -Leaf)
Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination $Destination -Recurse -Force

Hello Charles,
The SQL Syntax especially for DDL commands are different between MS SQL Server and Advantage Database, so you have to modify them to get them work.
As David already wrote we don't have a stored procedure "sp_CreateIndex90" in SQL Server, you may remove these commands, and we also don't have a data type "Logical", next could be "bit"

I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru eit

I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru either InDesign or via exporting it as a pdf it always has a white border. How can I eliminate this? I was on the phone with a tech for an hour and fifteen minutes. The answer I was given is that InDesign places white borders automatically. Need help, the white borders do not coincide with a mostly black background.

I am not certain you understood the technical support person from wherever you shought help.
ID will simply output what you tell it to. If you have designed a brochure that has a bleed and your PS file extends into the bleed, and you output a PDF with the correct settings, and send it to a service bureau (not certain about instyprint) that can print that size with bleeds, then trim it to size...phew. Seems like a run-on sentance there.
As for printing to the edge of a piece of paper on a local printer that supports it, you need to set up the printer to do so. At least that's how it has worked with the borderless printers I have used.
If you need an inexpensive brochure printed, try Quantum Digital. As long as you design it to their specs, it is a quick turn, the printing is fine for most inexpensive jobs, and they are pretty inexpensive. Offset quality they are not.
But your file better be constructed properly.
Take care, Mike

Using a text file to make a query

Hello and sorry to disturb.. but as a newbie I hope to find solution to my problem...
My users produce a text file that contains for each line an id (primary key).
My goal is to let them easily use that file as a part of a query that I define. e.g. they provide that list and the interface outputs the values related to those ids.
I read that is easy to import a file but I haven't understood how I can transform it's content in a query. Or maybe I can create a text field where the user can paste this list but I think that there's the limit of 30kb ...
Thanks in advance for any answer!
Simone

Thanks Vikas for your answer,
I already looked on the forum searching for all those sub-topics. The only thing that I'm not yet capable is to parse the blob content.. I'm lookin into the forum but I'm not finding what I need.. if you could gently give me the link to the right discussion I'd really apprecciate.
Thanks in advance

Problem in Using a Text file

Hello,
I want to read my text from a text file and it�s not a predetermined text, what i want to do is read the records in the form of text and i want to use "," as the delimiter between each Column in my Output file.
I was trying to do this but somehow am not Achieving anything meaningful till now.
Waiting for positive Reply�s from the Forum Memebers.

The solution has already been suggested on this thread.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=686118
If you didn't get it, here are the steps again:
1. Read the file using java io http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/
2. As you read each line, use StringTokenizer or String.split() to separate each value.
You do not need to have a predetermined text. The only predetermined thing is your delimiter.

          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.out.println("IO Exception " + ioe);
The problem with your code is that you should first check whether there are any tokens before doing nextToken().

Can you use an XML file to make Subclips for you?

Hi everyone,
I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but I am wondering if I can use an XML file(made after logging a few tapes, but before capture) to make subclips for me?
Basically I have a painful project with 2 tapes i had to capture separately as 1 long individual clip each due to time-code breaks, but as i did first Log & Capture as usual (only to later find it wouldn't batch capture) i didn't want my hard work to go to waste!
Hope I explained that clearly enough,
Adam
Message was edited by: Chocboy

I'm assuming you captured using the non-controllable device setting and have the clip including TC breaks and blank areas etc.
Try this:
Load the clip into the Viewer and play it. Press M to set markers wherever you want them.
If you want to give the marker a more decriptive name, press M a second time whilst the playhead is positioned on the marker. A dialog will open with text input fields. Or, click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.
Drag in the Browser to select all the markers or click the first one, then shift click the last one.
Choose Modify > Make Subclip. This will make all the subclips in one go and if you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone.

Exit labview (executables) after using large text files

Hello,
I am using LabView 6.0 and his aplication builder / runtime engine. I wrote some VI`s to convert large Tab delimited textfiles (up to 50 mb). When I am finished with the file it is staying in the memory somehow and is staggered with other (text)files in such a way the computer is slowing down.
When I want to exit the VI (program) it will take a very long time to get lost of the program (resetting LabView) and get my speed back.
How kan I solve this problem for these large files?
Martin.

OK, this may be a bit of a problem to track down, but let's start.
First, while your front panel looks great, your code is very hard to read. Overlapping elements, multiple nested structures and a liberal use of locals make this a problem. My first suggestion would be to with a massive cleanup operation. Make more room, make wires straight, make sure things are going left-to-right, make subVIs, place some documentation and so on. You won't believe the difference this makes.
After you did that, we can turn to find the problems. Some likely suspects are the local variables and the array functions. You use many local variables and perform resizing operations which are certain to generate copies. If you do this on arrays with dozens of MBs of data, this looks like the most likely source of the problem. Some suggestions to deal with this - if you have repeating code, make subVIs or move the code outside of the structures, so that it only has to be run once. Also, you seem to have some redundant code. For instance, you open the file only to see if you get an error. You should be able to do this with the VIs in the advanced palette without opening it (and you won't need to close it, either). Another example - you check the exit conditions in many places in your code. If your loop runs fast enough, there is no need for it. Some more suggestions - use shift registers instead of locals and avoid setting the same properties over and over again in the loop.
After you do these, it will probably be much easier to find the problem.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
And one last thing - having the VI run automatically and then use the Quit VI at the end is not very nice. Since you are building it, it will run automatically on its own and you can use the Application>>Kind property to quit only if it's an executable.
Try to take over the world!

How to create empty text file on target system for empty source text file

Hi All,
I have an issue in handling empty file in the Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario. Interface picks text file and delivers on target system as text file. I have used FCC in both sender and receiver CCs.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system. I have setup empty file handling options correctly on both CCs.
But when I tried with an empty file I am getting the error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!'.
Could you please suggest me what I need to do to create an empty text file on target system from empty source text file?
Thanks in Advance....

Sreeni

the problem is that when there is an empty file there is no XML for parsing available. Hence in case you are using a mapping it will fail.
What ideally you should do is to have a module that will check if the file is empty and if so write out an XML as you want with no values in the content/fields.
Or the next choice would be to have a java mapping to handle this requirement. I guess that on an empty file the java mapping will go to an exception which you can handle to write out your logic/processing

Search and replace data in excel using a text file

Hi Scripting Guy:
I was able to write a script based on all the examples in your blogs, but now I'm stuck:
I have a text file, which has Server Name, IP Address, Comments
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
I have a excel file which has Server Name, IP Address, Protocol, Port. Server Name, and IP Addreess can repeat itself more than once in entire spreadsheet at any location:
Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
My script search for the excel spreadsheet for a array that I have defined [Server1,Server2,Server3,...], once the first value matches in spreadsheet it replaces all values of Server1 with first value in text file i.e: ABCServer1 so my new excel sheet looks
this:
ABCserver1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
DEFserver2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
XYZserver3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
What I also want is, when I replaces the "Server1" value in spreadsheet, it will also replace the IP Address in next column. This is where I'm stuck I can replace the value of Server Name, but I can't replace the IP address for text file. Remember
"Server1" can be found at any place in spreadsheet but it will always have IP address column next to it.
So this is what script will do if runs correctly:
1) Read text file:
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, remote web server
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, remote app server
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, remote api server
2) Before script run on excel sheet
Server1, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server2, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
Server3, x.x.x.x, TCP, 80
3) After script run on excel sheet
ABCserver1, 1.1.1.1, TCP, 80
DEFserver2, 2.2.2.2, TCP, 80
XYZserver3, 3.3.3.3, TCP, 80
If you will see my script is able to replace "Server Name" in entire spreadsheet, but can't copy or replace the corespondent IP address in next column.
script:
$text = "Server1","Server2","Server3"
$replace=$replace = get-content C:\script\test.txt | foreach{ ($_.split(","))[0]}
$File = "C:\script\test.xlsx"
$now = [datetime]::now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
#$now = get-date -Format "MM-dd-yyyy_hh:mm:ss"
copy-Item C:\script\test.xlsx test_$now.xlsx
# Setup Excel, open $File and set the the first worksheet
$i=0
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $true
$Workbook = $Excel.workbooks.open($file)
$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets
$Worksheet = $Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
$Range = $Worksheet.UsedRange
Foreach($SearchString in $text){
if ($Range.find("$SearchString")) {
$Range.replace($SearchString,$replace[$i])
else {$i++}
$WorkBook.Save()
$WorkBook.Close()
[void]$excel.quit()
Really appreciate your help
Thanks

Hey, thanks for helping me out. I checked online and I had to call Cells this way:
$Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Cells.item($cell.Row,$cell.Column+1)=$test[$i].replace
one problem I'm having is if the $server value repeats itself in excel sheet again it doesn't replace all values for lets see server 1:
so thats how my excel sheet is:
server1
x
TCP
80
server2
x
TCP
80
server3
x
TCP
80
server1
x
TCP
80
when I run the script thats how results looks:
server1
x
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301A
10.1.1.2
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301B
10.1.1.3
TCP
80
REM88888SQL301
10.1.1.1
TCP
80
It skipped the line one on excel and changed value in line 4. As I mentioned above this can repeat $server can repeat itself anywhere in spreadsheet in multiple columns.
What can we do so it will replace all server name and IP address?
Thanks

How to save text file in same format for PC/Mac?

I have a text file on my Macbook. It doesn't have any special formatting. I save it to Dropbox and open it on my PC (Vista). All of the carriage returns are missing and text is a big run on. How do I get carriage returns to transfer to the PC?

Thanks Linc. Looks like I need to start using TextWrangler. I pasted from the TextEdit txt file into TextWrangler and carriage returns were missing. I formatted the file, saved with Windows CRLF format and it looks fine on Windows. Is that the correct format?
