• Data from the XML file

  Hello

  The attached xml file contains data that I would like to extract. The value of the data has the label (ubchild? name /) of ' means ".". " This can happen a number of times in the file for the names of different children.  for example

  SENS0710:10951:IntSolIrr has the value that

  742.320755

  and

  SMBAU008:154000347:m_S0 kWh has the value that

  227.458679

  and so on...

  The attached vi is very very simple and uses the vi JKI EasyXML to parse the file to a data type of labview.

  This is the point at which I need advice as to the way forward. I have reflected on the variant data, clusters, etc., but can't seem to get anything close to work.

  Someone would be kind enough to give me some tips or tricks to extract these values in a table.

  Thankl you

  Hi rayclout,

  I don't have parser Xml JKI vi... But I used the default XML functions and can read the average tag. Please find the screenshot of it.

  OK, in this case the best option is to store the answer in a binary table of XMLType (may be a temporary table if you want to) and run the query from there:

  CREATE TABLE tmp_xml OF XMLType
  XMLType STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML -- default storage in your version
  ;
  

  INSERT INTO tmp_xml VALUES(XMLType(response));
  

  SELECT b.entity_id,

• How to display records from the xml file

  Hi all
  I created a region his area of research in reality
  with 5 elements and array of result area
  
  I want to search records based on the 5 elements and want to view output table
  
  
  I have the table name as hr_api_transactions, which contains many columns
  
  
  
  and also, this table contains a column
  name TRANSACTION_DOCUMENT of type CLOB()
  that files xml columns for each record
  I want to extract data from this xml file and want to display.

  Instance of the view - put the name of VO with which you are extracting data

  Discover the attribute and the attribute of file View - could see attribute by which you found the content of the file

  File name substitution - is not mandatory, let him

  The MIME type of the file: do not place anything, need to better manage programmatically through. Put the code in the below processRequest() method

  OADataBoundValueViewObject contentBoundValue = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(downloadBean,
    "FileContentType"); // here "downloadBean" is bean of message Download item
  downloadBean.setAttributeValue(FILE_CONTENT_TYPE, contentBoundValue);

  What I meant is that if you load the XML e4x, you have to analyze in a table to use it. You can retrieve the syntax of e4x XMLList and use it directly in your code. You can treat the XMLList almost as you treat any array using a for each loop for example.

  Take the code below as an example and adapt it to your needs:

  var mainMenu:XMLList = this.testXML.menu;

  for each {var menu: XML (in mainMenu)}

  trace ("Menu:" + menu.@txt);

  You can use your logic to create menu main point here

  var mynavItem:Navitem = new Navitem (0, spatie * i, GlobalVarContainer.my_array [i] [0], [i, 0], false, true);

  this.holder.addChild (mynavItem); ABLE TO VIEW THE MAIN MENU

  var items: XMLList = menu.children ();

  If (items.length () > 0) {}

  for each {var point: XML (in the points)}

  trace ("point:" + item.@txt);

  Logic of creation of subitem here

  var mySubnavItem:Navitem = new Navitem (dash, spatie * (i + 1 + j), GlobalVarContainer.my_array [i] [2], [i, j], true);

  this.holder.addChild (mySubnavItem);        DISPLAYS ONLY THE LAST ENTRY IN THE SUBMENU

  }

  }

• Impossible to analyze data from an xml file

  I try to get the strings from an xml file:

  I tried the following:

  var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("blog.xml");

  var xml;
  var rss:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  RSS. Load (URL);
  rss.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, readRss);

  function readRss(e:Event):void {}
  XML = XML (rss.data);
  txt_field. Text = XML. Entry [1]. Author.Name;

  }

  but no result. TypeError: Error #1010:...

  I tried tracing xml and worked well.

  The xml structure seems to be too complex

  var blogList:XMLList = xml.children (); Returns a xml structure more simple but always unsuccessfully in the analysis of the parts of xml as a "title" or "author."

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("blog.xml");

• How to insert data in the XML file?

  Hi guys,.

  How to insert information into an XML file. I tell you, I have a CFM file with some questions to the user

  How can insert this information in the XML file?

  When I don't have a DB?

  Thank you

  You must

  1. Read in the XML file
  2. Analyze the document in an XML (just one big struct) object
  3. Insert your XML code of the object where you need
  4. rewrite the XML file with your data now included

• The data in the XML file validation

  Hi gang...

  Just got a project (not) I have to analyze and validate an xml document... the work is as follows:

  1. gather xml

  2 analyze the data

  3. validate the data

  4 insert data into db

  5 send the message to the browser

  I don't know what is the best way to go about this problem in a productive way, using everything that's out there.

  Any help would be appreciated.  (the xml file is included)

  Netpagino

  I don't know exactly what you mean by "validation of the data in an XML file.  At first glance, I interpreted your request that means you have to check that the XML file is well-formed,... that is to say, according to the DTD or schema.  But on re-reading your post, I'm not sure.

  Of course, you want to use full construction CF XML processing and querying capabilities.  (You want to use an XPath search to find the nodes, for example...)  As for the later task then check the data contained in these nodes against various business rules, well, who would take more thought.  But remember (a) that it is very much ground (so "do not re-invent the wheel"), and (b) you have all Java at your disposal if you need it.

• VI data on average compared to the data from the Excel file on average .lvm

  I am trying to build a .VI to measure voltages on a channel of a transducer of pressure for a period of 3 minutes.  I would like the .VI to write all the samples of blood to a file .lvm with another .lvm file that comes from the average voltage over the period of 3 minutes.  I built a .VI making everything above so I think that... The problem I'm running into is when I opened the file .lvm of all samples of blood in MS Excel and take the average of them using the built-in Excel function (= AVERAGE(B23:B5022) for example) averaged and compare it to the .lvm file, which has just 3 minute average .VI voltage, they do not correspond to the top.

  This makes me wonder if I use VI with an average of function correctly or if maybe VI averages data different voltage than what is written in the .lvm file.

  Does anyone know why the two averages are different and how I can match.

  I have attached a picture of my functional schema with the file .VI for clarity.

  The Type of dynamic data of LabVIEW you use is a special data type that can take many forms.  It therefore requires the use "Of DDT" and "DDT" for the conbert to and from other data types.  These special conversion functions can be configured by double-clicking them and specifying the format you are converting from.  You can find the functions on the pallet handling Express-Signal.

  I've attached a screenshot of the modification of the code using the "DDT" and the average is very good.

  Please mark this as accepted such solution and/or give Kudos if it works for you.  We appreciate the sides for our answers.

  Thank you

• Backup utility Windows 7 application ' are you sure you want to remove the most recent data from the backup file "even if I'm trying to remove the backup set is not the most recent.

  I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
  Manage space > view backups...

  I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
  01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
  12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
  23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011

  I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.

  However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.

  Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.

  In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.

  Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?

  Any help much appreciated - thank you.

  Update: I checked on other PCs in the office and the situation is the same - is not only something strange on a PC.
