Reading data from a text (JS CS3) file tabs-delimited

Hi - I'm working on a script to read data from a text file and use in a dialog box. But I hit a wall.

I used a script from a previous post that defines a variable text document when the user script he chooses from a drop-down list.

var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Map",canCancel:true});)
{with (MyDialog)}

{with (dialogColumns.Add ())}
{with (borderPanels.Add ())}
staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "choose the location :"});})
{with (dialogColumns.Add ())}

var file = File("~/Desktop/myPlacesfile.txt");

leader. Open ("r");
var str = file.read ();
leader. Close();
var myPlaceList = str.split (/ [\r\n] + /);
var myPlaceMenu = dropdowns.add ({stringList:myPlaceList, selectedIndex:0});})
}
}}}
Ditto var = myDialog.show ();
if(myResult == true) {}
If (myPlaceMenu.selectedIndex == 0) {}
myPlace var = ' - undefined ";
} else {}
myPlace var = myPlaceList [myPlaceMenu.selectedIndex];
Alert (myPlace);
}

myDialog.destroy ();
}

That's what I do now:

The text file is in this format:

Value1 value2 [TAB]

Value1 value2 [TAB]

Value1 value2 [TAB]

I need to have the drop down dialog box show only the value 1, and after that the user selects, the script returns only the value 2. (The alert is just there to test - I'm doing something else with the variable).

Is there a way to view the first part of a tab-delimited line in the menu drop down and return the second half as a variable?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

One of the possibilities is that it. Create a table to the left of the values of the tab of the dialog box. Then create an object that you use it as a table of correspondence. Roughly as follows:

same thing as what you have

leader. Open ("r");
var str = file.read ();
leader. Close();
var array = str.split (/ [\r\n] + /);

'pairs' are the table of correspondence

pair of var = {};

as before, 'myPlaceList' will be used for the menu drop-down
var myPlaceList = [];

var v;
for (var i = 0; i)< array.length;="">
{
v = table [i] .split ('\t');
pairs [v [0]] = v [1];
myPlaceList.push (v [0]);
}

Add the drop-down list as before:

var myPlaceMenu = dropdowns.add ({stringList:myPlaceList, selectedIndex:0});})

the table of 'pairs' correspondence is used as follows: pairs ['value1'] returns 'value2 '.

so in your script that would be:

myPlace var pairs = [myPlaceList [myPlaceMenu.selectedIndex]];

  • Write and read data from the user's local file system

    Hello

    I write my first extension for dreamweaver. My extension should backup the data on the local file system of the user. I know that I can use DWfile.read () and DWfile.write () as described in Chapter 2 of the Dreamweaver API reference. I store the data using the XML format. What is the best way to read and parse the XML data in the file? What is the best way to write the XML data in the file?

    If you recommend one format other than XML, I'm open to suggestions. The data are only a few configuration information for the extension which should be persisted.

    Thank you

    mitzy_kitty

    How will the data be used? If it is used by JavaScript, use JSON format which includes js. If you use XML, then you will need to find an XML parser to read the data.

  • read data from xlsx file

    How to read data from an Excel 2010 worksheet with the .xlsx extension?  The data I want, it's on one of the 10 tabs in the file, I have to choose which programmatically.  I have the Report Generation Toolkit for LV2012, but all the screws that come with it seem to focus around writing data to a spreadsheet Excel and make charts and whatnot.  I want to * read * an Excel worksheet.  Seeking answers led to many 'Open it and save it as tab delimited text', which I can't do because I need data from different tabs, and because this file is quite dynamic with many users opening and adding several times.  In order to save the tab I want as a tab delimited text file per programming, I'm back a square, how to open it?

  • Can read data from xls using teststand 3.5?

    Hello

    I use 3.5 TestStand and LabVIEW 8.je know these are quite old versions now, but we must continue with this on a test bench.

    My question is how can I read data from the file xls using TestStand 3.5? I have already mentioned a few posts on this, and one response suggested that I should use "tGetExcel" using ActiveX adapter. I tried to run the test example related to "http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Write-or-read-to-Excel-from-TestStand/td-p/250439/highlight/tru...", but a run-time error. He says that "the tGetExcel type library information not found. Make sure that the server is registered in the system.

    TestStand 4.2, I could easily run excel at the base of operations by using the Office Excel Toolkit.

    I was wondering, is there another way, I can read just .xls file data by using Teststand 3.5?

    Thank you

    Niraj.

    Please check this example for charger of property:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\TestStand 3.5\Examples\LoadingLimits

    This shows the limits of excel file loading.

    But you can load the values of the variables-consult the help file / Reference manual for this type of step.

    Also in the loader type forum search property - you can find more information.

    I hope this helps.

  • Read data from table of $ E and insert in the staging table

    Hi all

    I'm new on ODI. I need your help to understand how to read data from a table ' E$ "and insert in an intermediate table.

    Scenario:

    The name of two columns, in a flat file, the employee and the employee id must be loaded into a data EMPstore +. A check constraint is added so that the data with the employee names in capital letters only to load in the data store. Check the command is set to the static movement . Right-click on the data store, select control , then check. The lines that have violated the check constraint are kept in E$ _EMP+ table.

    Problem:

    Problem is I want to read the data in the table E$ _EMP+ and transform in capital letters in the name of the employee and move the corrected data of E$ _EMP+ EMP+. Please advise me on how to automatically manage the 'soft' exceptions in ODI.

    Thank you

    If I understand, you want to change the columns in the tables of $ E and then load into the target.

    Now, if you notice how ODI recycles the error, there is an incremental update to the target using the E table $ after he filled the I$ table.

    I think you can do the same thing by creating an interface using the table of $ E as source and implement the business logic in this interface to fill the target.

  • export data from the table in xml files

    Hello

    This thread to get your opinion on how export data tables in a file xml containing the data and another (xsd) that contains a structure of the table.
    For example, I have a datamart with 3 dimensions and a fact table. The idea is to have an xml file with data from the fact table, a file xsd with the structure of the fact table, an xml file that contains the data of the 3 dimensions and an xsd file that contains the definition of all the 3 dimensions. So a xml file fact table, a single file xml combining all of the dimension, the fact table in the file a xsd and an xsd file combining all of the dimension.

    I never have an idea on how to do it, but I would like to have for your advise on how you would.

    Thank you in advance.

    You are more or less in the same situation as me, I guess, about the "ORA-01426 digital infinity. I tried to export through UTL_FILE, content of the relational table with 998 columns. You get very quickly in this case in these ORA-errors, even if you work with solutions CLOB, while trying to concatinate the column into a CSV string data. Oracle has the nasty habbit in some of its packages / code to "assume" intelligent solutions and converts data types implicitly temporarily while trying to concatinate these data in the column to 1 string.

    The second part in the Kingdom of PL/SQL, it is he's trying to put everything in a buffer, which has a maximum of 65 k or 32 k, so break things up. In the end I just solved it via see all as a BLOB and writing to file as such. I'm guessing that the ORA-error is related to these problems of conversion/datatype buffer / implicit in the official packages of Oracle DBMS.

    Fun here is that this table 998 column came from XML source (aka "how SOA can make things very complicated and non-performing"). I have now 2 different solutions 'write data to CSV' in my packages, I use this situation to 998 column (but no idea if ever I get this performance, for example, using table collections in this scenario will explode the PGA in this case). The only solution that would work in my case is a better physical design of the environment, but currently I wonder not, engaged, as an architect so do not have a position to impose it.

  • Read data from APEX_ITEM

    Hi all

    I searched the forums, and unfortunately I have no idea on how to go on the following.

    I have the following SQL report created with APEX_ITEM. SELECT_LIST-

    > select id, questions, APEX_ITEM. SELECT_LIST (p_idx = > 1, p_value = > '- Select Rating-', p_list_values = > 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5', p_attributes is > "style =" "color: Black;"', p_show_null = > 'YES', p_null_value = > NULL, p_null_text = > '- Select Rating-', p_item_id = > ' the ROWNUM # f01_ #', p_item_label = > ' label for ROWNUM f01_ # #', p_show_extra = > 'NO') 'Rating' of the sqa_customer_questions by id order

    Query runs as you like, but I don't know how to accept the values of the rows. I would like to insert the values of the selection list and their respective ID for all the entries in another table. I'm not able to find out how I could read data from these APEX_ITEMs and reach my goal.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Jean-Pierre

    Nope,

    Can you put the app on apex.oracle.com

    In any case if you have a report like this

    SELECT id,
                    something
    FROM table
    

    You can do it for the

     SELECT id||APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(2,id) id,
                    something
    FROM table
    

    And then reference it as APEX_APPLICATION. G_F02 (the first parameter provided to apex_item determine the number) in your process.

    See you soon
