Write to two text files

Hello Everyone,
I would like for my VI to write to two different text files. I have it now where I can write the two different types of data to one text file. When I adjusted it to write to two different files, it makes me open the two files where I would like to save the data but it doesn't record anything.
Thank you,
Corina

Could you please post either an image of your code or the VI itself? I think that it will be easier to tell what is going on with a visual aid. Thanks.

I think this code can solve your problem.

        BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
            new FileInputStream(file2)));
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
            new FileOutputStream(file3)));

Compare two text files in Powershell and if a name is found in both files output content from file 2 to a 3rd text file

Is it possible using PowerShell to compare the contents of two text files line by line and if a line is found output that line to a third text file?
Lets say hypothetically someone asks us to search a text file named names1.txt and when a name is found in names1.txt we then pair that with the same name in the second text file called names2.txt
lets say the names shown below are in names1.txt
Bob
Mike
George
Lets say the names and contents shown below are in names2.txt
Lisa
Jordan
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
Don
Joe
Lets say we want names3.txt to contain the data shown below
Mike 1112222
Bob 8675309
In vbscript I used search and replace commands to get part of the way there like this
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForReading)
strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "Mike ", "Mike 1112222")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("testing.txt", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close
That script works great when you know the name you are looking for and the correct values. Lets say someone gives you a list of 1000 employees and says import these names into a list in the correct format and one sheet has the correct names only and
the other sheet has lots of extra names say 200000 and you only need the 1000 you are looking for in the format from names2.txt.

Sure,
Here's a simple one:
$names1 = "C:\names1.txt"
$names2 = "C:\names2.txt"
$names3 = "C:\names3.txt"
Get-Content $names1 | ForEach-Object {
$names1_Line = $_
Get-Content $names2 | Where-Object {$_.Contains($names1_Line)} | Out-File -FilePath $names3 -Append
This basically just reads $names1 file, line by line, and then read $names2 file line by line as well.
If the line being evaluated from $names2 file contains the line being evaluated from $names1 file, then the line from $names2 file gets output to $names3 file, appending to what's already there.
This might need a few more tinkering to get it to perform faster etc depending on your requirements. For example:
- If either $names1 or $names2 contain a lot of entries (in the region of hundreds) then it will be faster to load the whole content of $names2 into memory rather than opening the file, reading line by line, closing and then doing the same for every single
line in $names1 (which is how it is currently works)
- Make sure that your comparison is behaving as expected. The .Contains method always does a case sensitive comparison, this might not be what you are after.
- You might want to put a condition to ignore blank lines or lines with spaces, else they'll also be brought over to $names3
Hopefully this will get you started though and ask if you have further questions.

Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008.

Why are Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008?
--- The Administrators already have full control so how do I fix this? ---
Example: On a Windows Server 2008 (SP1): user A (who belongs to the Administrators group) logs in and creates a directory C:\foo and creates a file readme.txt in the foo directory. User B (also a member of the Administrators group) logs in and opens C:\foo\readme.txt in notepad. User B types something and tries to save the file. User B cannot save the file…an option to save as some other file name is presented. The security permissions of C:\foo\readme.txt show that Administrators have full control.
Work around 1: Explicitly add user B to have full control over the foo directory. The problem is that all the all other Administrators still need to be added (current and future).
Work around 2: Change the Users security permission to be full control on the foo directory. (this seems dangerous!)
It is interesting to not that this same procedure is not a problem in Windows Vista. (Any insight about the difference?)
Sincerely,
Ian

so there is no way to change this without literally shutting down the UAC?
I have files that I need to modify all the time, and it is very annoying to have to save as to my desktop modify and then copy and paste the file again.
I would also rather not give myself permissions to the entire C:\ Drive even specified Folders or documents, etc......
You can change these settings without bringing down the UAC

1.    Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
2.    Expand Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.

3.    Double-click “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” on the right pane.
a.    Choose “Elevate without prompting” and click OK.
b.    Double-Click “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account”, Click Enable, Apply and then OK
c.     Double-Click “User Account Control: Run all users, including administrators, as standard users”,Click Enable, Apply and then OK
Then reboot the Server. You should now have the ability to modify any document, etc....

Hi,
I want to write a table of data(2D) to a text file. I acquire 1D array(6 lakh rows) of data & want to write that in text file as column 0. And next 1D array to the same text file as column 2. Is it possible todo that?
I don't want to accumulate 2D array and write at last since it consumes more memory & Labview Hangs.
Kindly share your ideas.....

Merging of two text files

HI All,,
I have a text file A with four fields and text file B with two fields. I wanted to club these two text files to a single text file with certain condition and that to be uploaded to a standard table through BDC.
am I clear??
Please suggest me how can I proceed for this.
thanks,
anil.

Hi
If you want to do this using a program
Then use Function Module
GUI_UPLOAD
to load the two text files into two internal tables
say itab1 for one with 4 fields
and itab2 for the one with 2 fields
Then you can join the two tables based on a key between the two into a final internal table with six fields
use the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the internal tab with six fields and you have the final file which you would need to upload for the BDC.
Here also you can use GUI_UPLOAD to load the text file for the BDC program

Comparing two text files in a UNIX using shell programming

Hi All,
Sorry for posting a UNIX shell query on Database forums.
I want to compare two text files using shell programming. The two text files are actually Business Objects output extracted in a text format. The two output files are not in a tabular format and are no way similar in looking. I want to take one file e.g. file1 as an input file and compare each line of file1 with the other file e.g. file2. During comparison I want to extract the differences found in another file and if possible the similar data as well.
Below is how the files will look like
File 1:

As you can see above the file are not at all matching except for one record UHL1, but its just an example. As an output I would like to have a third file containing all these records, highlighting the differences, and a fourth file where in only the matched records should get populated.
Please post any useful scripts related to the above scenario.
Many Thanks.

WebLogic writes to a text file and an applet reads the text file

Hi there,
I need some help here!
I have an applet that needs to read from a text file:
final URL prtDataURL = new URL("http://" + getCodeBase().getHost() + ":" + getCodeBase().getPort() + "/ESTC/lib/prtDataFile.txt");
            final URLConnection urlConn = prtDataURL.openConnection();
            urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
            urlConn.setDoInput(true);
            urlConn.setDoOutput(false);
            final InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream());
            final BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(is);
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
                String[] tmp = inputLine.split("§");
                this.dateTime = tmp[0];
                this.quanTot = Integer.parseInt(tmp[1]);
                this.quanSco = Integer.parseInt(tmp[2]);
                this.quanSef = Integer.parseInt(tmp[3]);
                this.valTot = Double.parseDouble(tmp[4]);
                this.valSco = Double.parseDouble(tmp[5]);
                this.valSef = Double.parseDouble(tmp[6]);
            in.close();
            is.close();and this is ok.
Now I have the web server (WebLogic) that must write, at regular time intervals, to that file (prtDataFile.txt). The web application writes to the file (which belongs to the application).
I've tried open the file with the File object but since the war file is unexploded I can't get the real path!
I've tried open an url connection,
final URL url = new URL("http://10.191.33.249:16801/ESTC/lib/prtDataFile.txt");
final URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setDoInput(false);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
out.write(currentDate + "§" + quantTot + "§" + quantSco + "§" + quantSef + "§" + valTot + "§" + valSco + "§" + valSef);;
out.flush();
out.close();which seems a little stupid since I'm opening an URLConnection to the same place where the application is. Anyway it doesn't work, i.e., it doesn't write to the file but it doesn't gives me any errors or exceptions.
Is there another way to get this two pieces communicating?
Thanks in advance

I have almost the exact same problem, and I am in the same situation as you are with respects to the language.
I am simply trying to create a file and output some garbage to it but my applet always spits back a security violation. I've tried eliminating the restrictions on the applet runner I use but I still get the error.
My method:
debug = new Label() ;
debug.setLocation( 20, 20 ) ;
debug.setSize( 500, 15 ) ;
add( debug ) ;
// output
try
     OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream( new File( "" + getCodeBase() + "output.txt" ) ) ;
     byte[] buffer = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ;
     file.write( buffer ) ;
     file.close() ;
} catch( Exception e )
     debug.setText( e.toString() ) ;
     Can anyone tell why this isnt working?

Can I combine two text files into ine with ZEN

I have to append a really long character string onto an existing txt file.
I tried to modify the file in ZEN but the app blows up when it runs. Is
there a way I could concatenate these two txt files together with ZEN
instead?

Another option would be to create two environment variables each holding
1/2 the string. Then use the Text file section to write the two strings
to the one file.

How to write '\n' in text file instead of newline

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to write 'C:\DOCUME~1\nXXX\LOCALS~1\Temp' in a bat file using client_text_io but *'\n'* in the path is taken as a new line character and the path is broken into two lines and written to the file. Hence my bat file doesnt work. I would need to write '\n' in the file as there are many reports which has '\n' in the output. Please provide a solution for writing '\n' in the file without getting it converted to a new line.
DECLARE
out_file client_text_io.file_type;
BEGIN
:GLOBAL.TEMPDRIVE :=client_win_api_environment.get_environment_string('TEMP'); --output is 'C:\DOCUME~1\nXXX\LOCALS~1\Temp'
out_file := client_Text_IO.fopen(:GLOBAL.TEMPDRIVE||'\chkdirz.bat', 'w');
client_Text_IO.PutF(out_file,'chdir '||:GLOBAL.TEMPDRIVE||'\ \n');
client_Text_IO.PutF(out_file,'if EXIST '||:GLOBAL.TEMPDRIVE||'\EXFOL\ null goto batend \n');
client_Text_IO.PutF(out_file,'mkdir '||:GLOBAL.TEMPDRIVE||'\EXFOL \n');
client_Text_IO.PutF(out_file,':batend \n');
client_Text_IO.fclose(out_file);
synchronize;

Can I write to a text file on local HDD from forms appl?

Hi All,
We have 8i database being accessed by 6i forms application using web-based arch. Clients are on windowsNT/window2000. Is it possible to dump some data in a text file from forms application (by pressing a button) on local hard disk? User is looking something similar to sqlplus spool in forms 6i. Is this possible? User is specific about file being created in local machine and not on server(utl_file/dbms_pipe). Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can find explanation and a quick start guide on PJCs on the Forms Upgrade Center at:
I think the following code can give you a starting point for a PJC (based on text_item) that will do it.
Also you will need to sign this JAR because you want to access the client machine - see the sigining paper on OTN.
To activate this PJC you will use something like SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY ('text_item1', 1, 'WRITE', :text_item1);
In your form.
import oracle.forms.ui.VTextField;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
public class textio extends VTextField
public final static ID WRITE = ID.registerProperty("WRITE");
String a = "hello";
public textio()
public boolean setProperty(ID p0, Object p1)
if (p0==WRITE)
try
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\textio.txt");
fileOut.write(p1.toString().getBytes());
fileOut.close();
} catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();

Dear Sanket,
I think you are need use TO_CHAR() function
to_char(test_write_rec.EMPNO) ,
to_char(test_write_rec.HIREDATE,'DD.MM.YYYY')
to_char(test_write_rec.SAL)

Write to two text files
