Ideas for processing a text file Excel spreadsheet or csv

Hi all

I see an app in APEX, which relies on the user to enter the values in a table. Because there may be up to 1000 new lines added, they would like to be able to download the data in bulk (be it via an Excel spreadsheet or a test (comma or a file delimited by tabs).) Any ideas how I could read a file csv in the apex of the file and then analysed in the destination table? I have seen example where files are downloaded as objects in a BLOB table in the schema of owners of APEX, but I don't know how I could get the content.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Next time, if a question is answered correctly, can award you points accordingly?

Thank you

  • A message for the downloaded text files

    I'm using the download / download the example of Mr. Kubicek who works very well. If the file is a jpg or xls or something it pulls a popup download but request if it
    is a text .txt file, it downloads it, but gives no message, some users keep clicking on download and 30 copies of the file on the hard drive to get there.
    If I could popup just a message to the downloaded text file then it would solve the problem.
    Thank you

    This really looks like a browser configuration issue... the browser that you use can be configured to accept files of that MIME type (text/text?) without presenting an open/save dialog box.

    What browser are you running that illustrates this behavior?

    I would also test other browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and/or the same browser on machines replacing, to see if you can find a pattern of behavior. (In other words, is this just happening on your machine, or just IE browsers, or...).

  • If I click on a hyperlink in text file, I want a download dialog box, not for firefox to try to open it (> 20MB).

    When I click on a hyperlink to a text file large, how I can change the default behavior of FireFox to open a "File-Save" dialog box directly?
    On the contrary, FireFox tries to open the file and for very large text files, 25 MB or more, which is excruciatingly slow. I use a program to treat these files in a few seconds, if only I could download them.

  • To load excel spreadsheet oracle table by combining the values of the columns

    Hi all
    I need to load some data from excellent spreadsheet to a table, but on one condition.

    For example: If there are four columns in my excel sheet, the three combined columns must be loaded as a single column in my table and the last column in a separate column.

    for example: if my excel sheet has emp_no, emp_val, emp_id, emp_date lines and its values are 1,1,1,29 / 07 / 2011, then he must be loaded in my employee table of database like 111, 07-29-2011... What should I do? Please help me

    First, export your Excel spreadsheet to CSV. It is much simpler to work with text delimited by a binary property. Place the CSV file in a directory accessible to the database.

    Second, create an external table to select the data in the CSV file. Outdoor tables are very neat, once you get your head around them: basically we can execute SQL queries against the OS files. Declare the external table with four columns, i.e. its projection corresponds to the structure of your file. Learn more about the outdoor tables.

    (You will need create a DIRECTORY object to do this, pointing to the OS directory where you put the CSV file).

    Now its to a cinch to insert data into your target table:

    insert into target_table (col1, cols)
    select c1 || c2 || c3, c4
    from external_table
    /

  • item switch to function index into a text file

    I'm having some difficulties here...

    What I want to do is replace/switch element to an index in an existing text file. When I read the data from the text file I use 'read worksheet file.vi' and read items as strings, so my idea is to use the "write to worksheet file.vi' when I want to update the text file.

    For example, a text file with elements; 1-1-1

    2-2-2

    3 3 3

    An example of what I want to do is to change the place of the first 1 to index (0,0) and the last 3 in index (2.2), which should give me the result in the text file; 3-1-1

    2-2-2

    3 3 1

    Anyone who got advice or ideas? Thank you...

    You should really look at the various functions of table available. And rather than use the function Rotate 1-d array , you can try using the first remove table , then insert into the Array function.

  • Writing data in the text file or excel spreadsheet

    Hello

    I have a silly question to ask questions about the writing of data in a text file or a spreadsheet. I have an example that simulates a sine-swept DAQmx. The output it provides is the (amplitude and phase) frequency response function that is plotted on a graph (see VI) attached. I like to use these data for further analysis by transmitting the data to a text file or a spreadsheet. I've tried a few things, but the thread is broken. I guess I use the sink badly - so I was wondering, can you please advise me on what sink should I use?

    Your help would be very appreciated,

    Thank you very much

    The wire is broken, because you cannot connect this type of data to one of these two functions. The data source type is a table 1 d of the clusters, where each cluster contains two tables. The text file write accepts strings, not clusters. Writing on a file action accepts dynamic data, and while you can convert dynamic data tables, there is no built-in mechanism to convert a table 1 d of the clusters of two matrices.

    What you need to do is to convert the data in a format which can be accepted by these functions. Since you want to have a "spreadsheet" file then you should use writing to the spreadsheet file that creates a delimited text file. Since the frequency data would be the same for the plot of the magnitude and phase diagrams, you can have 3 columns: frequency, amplitude, and phase. You can take off the items using Unbundle by name, and then create a table 2D of each element of the cluster. The real question is to know if you want to save the data at each iteration and if you simply add on the file. The attached figure shows write an initial header and then adding just streaming the data.

  • How to read a text file that is longer than 65536 lines and write the data to a spreadsheet Excel and the data to write in a new column, once exhausted 65536 cells in a column?

    I have data to the basic generic text file format that must be converted into Excel spreadsheet format.  The data are much longer than 65536 rows and in my code, I was not able to find a way to see the data in the next column.  Currently, the conversion is done manually and generates an Excel file which has a total of 30-40 complete columns of data.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it possible to get the details of the file (for example the subject and comments) off the screen and to an Excel file or a text file without having to retype this information

    * original title - file details *.

    Hello

    Could you explain what is exactly? What do you mean by off the screen?

    According to my way of thinking, you want to export the file details of all your files on your HARD drive to an excel file or a txt file. If I'm right in this case, it is not possible to export the details of each & every file in the excel sheet.

  • Deploy multiple virtual machines from one model to the help of customization of the OS and a text file for hostname and IP

    Hi all

    Not sure if this has already been answered, I did a search on the forums, but couldn't find an answer to what I'm looking for.

    I want to fully automate the deployment of multiple VMs of a model using a customization file, but also to retrieve the host names and IP addresses from a text file / spreadsheet.

    for example:

    I need to deploy a test environment of 30 virtual machines using the template file and customizing TestVM. I have a spreadsheet with the VM host names and IP addresses. The process now is to manually enter the host name and IP when the customization file invites to do while deploying them in each virtual machine. The customization file takes care of the rest (license key, admin password, add to the domain etc.) can I automate entry of the name of host and IP addresses in reading from a text file?

    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I generate a data merge that includes a barcode in excel spreadsheet for InDesign?

    Can you please indicate whether the following process is possible in InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).

    We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The fusion of data concerns several thousand records.

    We have a customer supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, which is a number which ultimately must print a barcode when we do the data to merge in InDesign.

    As you expected, the classic six data fields merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the code barcode printed properly within the data merge.

    We looked at several possible solutions without success.

    Some of the solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel convert the number to a code bar while still in the spreadsheet - but this does not come across properly when import us the CSV file in the InDesign data merge.

    We studied some third party software applications, but neither gives the complete solution that we need. Some, for example, seem to create the bar code in the Excel worksheet but do not produce the barcode correctly when us data merge in InDesign; and some we will create a unique bar code in InDesign, but have no automated way to recover thousands of numbers in Excel and turn them into bar codes.

    We have you met also possible solutions "police" but have had no success with these either.

    Previous employment, only to produce us entrusted to a specialist mailing company, who assured us that they have produced all the work (very quickly) in InDesign. They, understandably, don't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they have produced work for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.

    Can you please specify?

    We decide to map the Description2 FDM fields with the text in the cell in the source file, as in an event (such as aftFileImport) script, to play the field in the table and add text to a field Memo in MDF.
    FDM provide a method to do this: API. ArchiveMgr.fMemoAddItem

    With this method, the memo will be export to HFM as a TxtCase (you must enable in the settings of integration).

  • A value of reading either excel or a text file

    Hello

    We are students working on a schoolproject where we want to control some output engines. We want to create a set of input values are in red in our program either excel or a text file.

    For example, we want an entry to read the value '1' then the program runs its course and we get a result from the entry '1', after read the next value '2' and the program runs its course and so on.

    We looked for clues and answers, but I suppose were really wrong with that. Someone here who could help us?

    Less you can see one of our programs, its designed to control 3 fans depending on the input (ppm of CO). We want to replace the 'digital controller"(ppm of CO) in another 'thing' that gives us an entry in a list of values.

  • Vista does not recognize the previous Windows forms (2003) and Excel spreadsheets. Is there any solution for this?

    Vista does not accept Windows 2003 documents and spreadsheets - is there a solution?

    Hi wavedave,.

    By 2003 documents and spreadsheets are you referring to Microsoft Office 2003? Vista is not a copy of Microsoft Office as part of the operating system; You can buy a copy of Microsoft Office. However, if it is simply a case of you is not not able to read (to create, you will need a copy of Microsoft Office) there is still rlevant application "Viewer Office." You need a viewer for each application, but, basically, it allows you to 'see' the documents word, excel etc. documents without having a copy of Microsoft Office on your system. As I said, you can "show" them if you need to change or create excel spreadsheets or word documents, you must purchase a copy of office.

    See this link for more information on the viewers of rleevant: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/office-online-file-converters-and-viewers-HA001044981.aspx
