Newby - problems for export non-standard characters. CSV or delimited by tabs

I'm trying to export data from a table where many fields contain non-standard characters such as double quotes * []] * or * labels *. If I * export to one. CSV file, embedded quotes foul invariably upward alignment of output columns and if I select one * export tabs-delimited *, built-in tabs do the same thing.

Is anyway that I can specify the text qualifier to use so that I can choose a character that is not used in the text (like, for example the tilde * [*] *)?

I use discoverer 3.1

Thanks in advance

Hello

With a requirement of export complicated like this, it is often better to create a named calculation that returns the fields in the required format, as a single column, for example

col1 | » ~'|| col2. » ~'|| COL3

Then, you can simply export the report to a text and get all the fields with the correct delimiters and the characters replaced.

    How create the CSV file delimited by tabs using ORACLE utl_file? Please provide the code sampl.

    This isn't a problem with Oracle, it is a problem with the way you open the data in Microsoft Excel.

    In Excel, you want (depending on your version may vary slightly)...

    Office 2010...

    1. go in the Ribbon "Data".

    2. click on 'text '.

    3. Locate and select your file, and then click "import."

    4 step 1 of the wizard - choose "Delimited", then click on "next >".

    5. step 2 of the wizard - choose "Tab" as the delimiter and click on "next >".

    6. step 3 of the wizard - define types of column as needed (if necessary) and click on "Finish".

    7. check where you want the data in the worksheet.

    Data is loading now in single cells as you expect.

    If you just double-click the CSV, Excel is apparently assuming that it will be separated by commas and does not recognize tabs as separators, unlike when you rename the file with a .xls extension where it examines the file, complains that it is not a content .xls and asks you to confirm that you want to continue loading and then intelligently recognizes the tabs and the format for you.

    As I said, not a problem with Oracle, just a problem with the MS Excel software.

  • Member for years non-standard in the dimension of the planning years

    We have a non-standard (planning) the dimension member years called 'No year '. In order to add it to the start, I had to go to the back end of the schedule (tables HSP_OBJECT and HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES) and edit the members there. It was version 9. The order of the years members was then FY95 through FY14, then came year no., then FY15. It worked for our years of start and end in the planning, as our school was FY09 and our end of the year was the year of no., allowing us to the regime through FY14 and entry year no data specific to year n on the forms. It also allowed us to omit 'Year No' of our scripts using a range of FY09:FY14 years (using substitution variables). Now that the year overturned (and, incidentally, we have upgraded to version 11) and our years of planning are FY10 thanks FY15, I would move no. year after FY15. However, I do not seem to be able to do in updating underlying tables above. I make the changes for the two tables, but it is not reflected in the schedule (they appear in the order), and if I try to change it or the other of the two members in the planning (year or FY15), it gives me an error indicating that the Member already exists. Anyone know how I can do to move the No. year Member? I need to not only this year, but to have a process my client can follow each year, moving from that Member within the outline to be directly after the last year of planning.

    Thank you

    Sabrina

    If you want to go on the tables of piracy and changing the order of 'No year '.

    If you run the SQL on your planning application

    Select * from hsp_object where type_objet = 38

    You can see the column in position and will have values like 1000000 = first place, 1000010 = Second Place and so on.

    To change the position you have to raise the value of position of 'No year' and 'FY15.

    setting a day of position set hsp_object = '1000070'
    where type_objet = 38 and object_name = 'No year '.

    setting a day of position set hsp_object = '1000080'
    where type_objet = 38 and object_name = 'FY14.

    Restart planning. Now all this is done at your own risk, and when you app goes boom don't blame me :)
    If 'No year' has been added in the right direction when you add the year, he must always remain as the last position.

    Planning rights object between adjustment ranges ID holders, the normal year (FY..) values are 50002 go
    No year is out of this range for example 50412
    When no. year is added correctly then planning will add a new to the normal range of values for the year (the year last value + 1) and then changes it the order of position

  • 10 PE problems for export for Samsung TV

    Hi forum.

    I bought a new video camera (Panasonic SC-V700), and I'm not used to the use of HD formats.

    I bought PE10 (I desided to change the Corel) and export my video on my NAS (Synology 211 +) and play on my TV (Samsung c6005 46 '') via DLNA.

    BUT:

    Looking at my TV spec´s it supports (among others):

    Header 1 Header 2 Header 3 Header 4 Header 5 Heading 6 Heading 7

    Filtype

    Container

    Video codec

    Oplosning

    Billedhastighed

    (project of law. / sek.)

    Bithastighed

    (Mbps)

    LYD-codec

    *. JPS

    JPS

    H.264 BP / MP / HP

    1920 x 1080

    6 ~ 30

    25

    MP3 / ADPCM / AAC

    And when I export items that I use:

    MP4 H264 1920 1080 p 25

    But the file will not play.

    I tried a few other options, but still no luck.

    No one knows what the format to use to make it work?

    (There is no problem to play the file on my tablet from Samsung. And the connection to the TV is testet OK, since everything else works.)

    Cordially Settemand

    Maybe it's really more a question for Samsung or NAS. Looks like you have a file according to their recommended output specifications. It even works on your Samsung Tablet!

    So it may be necessary to contact Samsung to find out why .mp4s will not play on your TV.

    Also, could you get MP4s output in your Corel program to play on TV?

    When exporting to CR2 as JPEG files, I find that JPEG files exported in LR are not displayed my changes in the develop Module, that is, they are displayed as the original unmodified files. However, when I view the JPEGs via Explorer or any other Viewer I see the 'proper' image, i.e. with the changes.  I use 3.3. 64 bit. any ideas?

  • Help to import the data from the catalog to a text file (csv import, delimited by tabs, excel)

    Hi All-

    I was hitting my head on this one for a few days now. It seems that something that has probably been done before and should not be so difficult, but I found few cases of help in the documentation from Adobe (and researched a lot of google).

    I have a catalog of retail sale of 100 pages with approximately 1000 products in InDesign CS5. I have a spreadsheet excel with the names of products this year, prices and descriptions of update. Normally, we would go through one by one and cut and paste. This year, I thought I would try to skip this step. There are plugins that do this, but they are not cheap, and we are not big. Upgrade to CS5 of CS2 is a big investment in and of itself.

    ssp_temp_capture.jpg

    Here is an example of the data (I use a vertical bar as a separator character):

    28392779 | 3627 | Super top | Get a handle on the pleasure. Wrap the cord around the axis and s '. | 6½ "long
    | $10

    Then... standard excel file exported to a delimited format (I use OpenOffice to export in order to avoid the problem of excel citing darn close * everything *). In the InDesign file, we have a component of text for grouped each name, description, and price. The Group has a title of the product ID script and each field within the group is labelled accordingly (name, id, description). Thus, the Group: 3627, point: description (name or price).

    Pseudocode:

    Open the file

    Analyze the data in a table

    Scroll through the InDesign file group

    Check the script group label, look it up in the table, assign values to the fields

    Easy right?

    I'm not new to javascript, but it is not my tongue harder. With this effort, I had problems as simple as the syntax for the identification of the groups by their label. Anyway, here is the code (it is not pretty as the only way that I could not even run to scroll the table of data line by line and then scroll the entire InDesign file for each row of data. And, Yes, it takes about an hour to run--but it * is * run):

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    data var file = File("/Users/reddfoxx/Desktop/2010Sept8CatDesc.csv");
    DataFile.Open ("r");

    data var = datafile.read)

    data = data.split("\n");


    the data array is indexed from 0
    field 0 is the internal ID
    field 1 is the product ID
    field 2 is the name of the product
    zone 3 is the description
    field 4 are the dimensions
    zone 5 is the price

    for (x = 0; x < data.length; x ++) {}

    data [x] = data [x].split("|");


    for (var z = 0; z < myDocument.groups.count (); z ++) {}
    {If (myDocument.groups.item (z) .label == {data [x] [1])}
    myGroup = myDocument.groups.item (z);

    for (var y = 0; y < myGroup.textFrames.count (); y ++) {}
    If (myGroup.textFrames.item .label (y) == "name")
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [2];

    }



    If (myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .label = 'description')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [3];
    }

    If (myGroup.textFrames.item .label (y) == 'dimensions')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [4];
    }

    If (myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .label = 'price')
    {
    myGroup.textFrames.item (y) .silence = data [x] [5];
    }


    }
    }
    }
    }

    For someone who is not familiar with the groups and scripts, unfortunately, you cannot process blocks of text within a group without using the group. At least, that's what I understand.

    Any help would be appreciated. Even just to find how to approach a particular in the document, so that I don't have to scroll through the entire file and do a comparison for each element would be a big improvement.

    Thanks in advance.

    -Redd

    Hey!

    You have nice little problem here

    Well, unfortunately, InDesign CS5 is a bit heavy on the labels of script, there were some changes and other things. In CS4 and before, when you call pageItem.item (myItemName), you would get called from script, but in CS5, it has been changed, and now you get the element name that is in the layers palette. Now you can easily copy all the script tags, new place, and then it would be easy to access items by name of the element.

    This will copy all the labels current script name of the element:

    for(var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length; i++)
      app.activeDocument.allPageItems[i].name = app.activeDocument.allPageItems[i].label;
    

    Now, when you have all the names in place, you can access them like this:

    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("name").contents = data[x][2];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("description").contents = data[x][3];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("dimensions").contents = data[x][4];
    app.activeDocument.groups.item(data[x][1]).textFrames.item("price").contents = data[x][5];
    

    I hope that helps!

  • Only one Integrator for export csv to table and update the table?

    Hello
    I have a requirement where I need to create a single Integrator for export data in the CSV file into a custom oracle table and also use the same Integrator to download and update the custom table data. Is it possible to do this in a single Integrator.

    Thank you
    Kishore

    Yes you can do it.

    You must create a type of UPDATE metadata Integrator.

    First time:

    Custom table is empty.

    WEB ADI will download a blank Excel sheet. Copy the data from the CSV file and paste this Excel.Then download this file that will update the Integrator.

    A sample example is as follows:

    web_adi_pkg.main (param_1, param_2,... param_n)
    download_data;
    upload_data;

    Download data-> select query to download the data (select * from custom_table)
    Download the data-> insert into custom_table where NOT EXISTS (select 1 from custom_table where primary_key = primary_key_col_from_csv)
    update of custom_table where there are (select 1 from custom_table where primary_key = primary_key_col_from_csv)

    Please try above logic.

    Ciao

    Rather than to get the

    node, you can just go directly to the node since ' one that really interests you. Basically what it means to determine the elements of table how much you have, and it depends on if you have 1 or 2 knots . The rest is just of the child nodes and the next siblings. See attachment as a starting point. The attached XML file is a table 2D (change the .xml extension).

    Notes on the example:

    • I did not close properly references, so it's something you need to do.
    • It is limited to tables 1 d or 2D.
    • I suggest using a control path of the file to specify the input XML file and path of the file/folder control to specify the location of the output file.

  • Problems to export lists of addresses to CSV format (not all addresses are exportationdonnees, getting corrupted)

    I export a list of in my address book, but the data that are incompatible. Some of the names/emails export OK, but overall list, there are some documents that seem just crazy (I mean the data just wind in the fields hurt at random, some documents do not seem to export at all, etc.). I have a list of about 1 400 contacts, but only about 1,000 of them export in the correct fields.

    I brought the CSV file in Excel and tried to clean it, but I see that there still will do a lot of missing documents. I suspect that this is because there must be some long strings (or non-compliant characters) in some of the comments fields (which have been copied to a people of a completed form when they are added to my list). I'm trying to export it so that I can pass it to a commercial e-mail as MailChimp service.

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Then try an export of the difference, as delimited by tabs. Excel also opens easier than commas and it is unlikely that your file will be incorporated tabs. At least I hope so.

    In the future, you might want to clean up garbage on the web before you import it into Thunderbird, or any other program.

    BTW email me will get all information on the Mail Chimp. They cannot report on those who allow remote images, but light on detail, there are marketing information.

  • Tips for the TCP wait of asynchronous Messages with non-standard expression tanks

    Hi all

    I have a PITA instrument that I need to communicate with in a system of greater control.  This instrument communicates via RS232 to a server running on the PC OEM application.  In order to communicate with the instrument, I have to use the TCP protocol on a specific port on Localhost - So far so good as long the protcol is answer command.

    The problem is that the instrument sends several messages asynchronously of different sizes with a double newline as a tank of termination (there are many CR/LFS all these messages so that they cannot be a MOE) and I am struggling to find a way to manage receive asynchronous messages of variable length with a cusom CHARACTER term. without having simply a fast dedicated for TCP loop reads trying to catch these asynchronous status messages.

    I wish the functions VISA TCP has worked with the local host, given that the properties that can be set to change the chariot of non-standard term.

    Open to suggestions-

    Thank you

    Ronin

    Yes, I'll be streaming in my own string buffer and then to choose the messages out of the buffer when you find the stop character.

    A technique to improve performance, rather than reading a single byte at a time is to use the "immediate" on reading TCP mode and use a high value for the "bytes read" - in this way, it will return all of the data that is there without waiting for all the specified bytes or the time-out. He will wait only the full timeout if 0 bytes are received (which you can ignore) - set to a low value such as 100ms.

  • When I try to send an email to multiple recipients, I get this message: "there are non-ASCII characters in the local part of the address of the recipient. This is not

    I bought a new computer. When I try to send an e-mail to multiple recipients, now, I get this message: "there are non-ASCII characters in the local part of the address of the recipient. It is not yet supported. If please change this address and try again. "I don't know what are the non-ASCII characters, so I don't know what to do. I never had this problem on my old computer. Please explain in simple language.

    The 'local' part in the context of email addresses, the part to the left of the symbol @. The warning is a bit of a surprise, because in general the owner of a mail server is relatively free to specify the address format. There is a movement to allow the games to other characters to be used in the fields, so I'm a little disappointed to see that, apparently, e-mail does not support the latter in the local part yet or it can be your SMTP server that generates this message.

    ASCII characters ("American Standard Code for Information Interchange") are, on the whole, the English alphabet, uppercase and lowercase, as well as figures, common punctuation and case of things like the asterisks, obliques and media bars, but not of accented characters. But even apparently simple things like spaces and dashes have cousins who, at first glance, appear to be identical, but are not represented in the ASCII system. I am thinking especially nonbreaking spaces, dash and half-quadratin.

    But I don't know why your new computer must have caused these warnings.

  • Color with a non-standard lens correction

    Hey community!

    I was invited to correct the colors of photos about 1,500 scientific for my wife's work. All these pictures are taken in the same lighting conditions. All are JPEG directly from the camera. Not VINTAGE. And each of them a color target - unfortunately, a non standard. This is a crop of an image of the sample:

    fish-bad-target.jpg

    If the target was a ColorChecker or similar, I would have done a profile using Adobe DNG Converter to make a custom profile. However, I don't know the values of the target company. Yet.

    I have have access to the camera and the target as well. My question is, how you guys would get a reasonable color of these photos without too much effort?

    Is there a way to correct the colors, specific values? As a profile so I know that the correct values in this graph - analog to the DNG workflow?

    How would try to solve this task?

    Your recommendations are welcome!

    Sebastian

    I had a similar problem, as seen in the two samples in the top row. (The difference in yellow is more immediately apparent). Try this:

    After the shooting at the current target with Passport, creating the corrected version (Fig 1) (and convert to jpg to accompany the rest of your files), put the lower than corrected uncorrected version and hide the version corrected, as shown in the lower left image. The result may look like the image below on the right. I found as a black & white adjustment layer (set to luminosity) has established an acceptable match. Is not perfect. In my case, close enough even if only your level has been adjusted. You can choose a different adjustment related to the color balance, for example layer. This adjustment layer, you drag over each of your files should make the correction you want.

    Something more: it may be necessary to use curves to match the gray scales before starting to process colors.
