• Search for names of file with Engine.SearchFiles?

  I posted my comment to a solved thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/searchfiles/td-p/2364238/page/2

  and I don't have a solution. If I post in a new thread now.

  Is it possible to search for substring in a file name using the Engine.SearchFiles method? I know, that there is a SearchOptions_RegExpr, but I couldn't know how to search for file names. I can find files that contain expressions, variables etc but not file names.

  So, is it still possible?

  SearchFiles is only for research purposes in the files. Take a look at the FindFiles sequence in:

  \Components\Tools\ForEach.SEQ

  This sequence search for all files in a directory tree by using direct calls to the WIN32 API. You could probably just call this sequence directly to do what you ask.

• 'Documents' folder (plain text) Foxpro. PRG files and cannot search for find in files

  I have 64 bit Win7 Pro.

  I have a C:\Users\Owner\Documents\PRG folder with a number of Foxpro. PRG (plain text) files.  I can't get Windows Search to search for files.  For example, several files have the command "TO PAINT" in them.  If I bring up an Explorer window and use PAINT, I just get 3 file names that have PAINT in them without a content search.  I've read other suggestions to use ' content: 'paint' ' but that no results me at all.  I tried another suggestion: a window withCMD searchFile-name: "*." ' * ' - content: "painting" and got an error that says'searchFile' is not recognized as internal or external, command an executable program or batch file.

  I have to install a UNIX client to get a search utility that can find things I need?  At this point, I'll take something that actually works.

  If you type a Search in the research area, scroll down to change the way Windows search. The first page allows you to change the folders that are included in the search.  Under the buttonAdvanced -> File Types , you can select which extensions are included in the search.  You can also add a new extension if it is not listed.

  See you soon,.

• Decompression of file created with UTL_COMPRESS

  Can we not use the UNIX 'gzip' tool to decompress a file 'gz' with UTL_COMPRESS. LZ_COMPRESS?

  gzip -d 2015-07-30_ccr_records_arc_purged.csv.gz
  
  gzip: 2015-07-30_ccr_records_arc_purged.csv.gz: not in gzip format
  
  

  We must use UTL_COMPRESS. LZ_UNCOMPRESS? That wouldn't make sense. We should be able to use gzip or gunzip.

  Here is the procedure to compress files "csv":

  PROCEDURE compress_files
  IS
    dir_path          VARCHAR2(1024)          ;
    src_file          BFILE                   ;
    l_content         BLOB                    ;
    l_blob_len        INTEGER                 ;
    l_file            utl_file.file_type      ;
    l_buffer          RAW(32767)              ;
    l_amount          BINARY_INTEGER := 32767 ;
    l_pos             INTEGER := 1            ;
    l_compress_rate   INTEGER := 6            ;
    l_csv             VARCHAR2(3) := 'csv'    ;
  BEGIN
    get_dir_info(dir_path) ;
     -- retrieve all *.csv files using DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.SEARCHFILES in ListDir pipe-lined function
     FOR file IN ( SELECT column_value FROM TABLE(ListDir(dir_path,l_csv)) )
     LOOP
         src_file := BFILENAME(cDIRNAME, file.column_value);
         dbms_lob.FILEOPEN(src_file, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
         l_content  := utl_compress.LZ_COMPRESS(src_file, l_compress_rate);
         l_blob_len := dbms_lob.GETLENGTH(l_content);
         l_file     := utl_file.FOPEN(cDIRNAME, file.column_value || '.gz','wb');
        
         WHILE ( l_pos < l_blob_len  )
         LOOP
             dbms_lob.READ(l_content, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
             utl_file.PUT_RAW(l_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
             l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
         END LOOP ;
        
         dbms_lob.FILECLOSE(src_file) ;
         utl_file.FCLOSE(l_file);
     END LOOP ;
     
     EXCEPTION
         WHEN   others
         THEN
             IF utl_file.is_open(l_file) 
             THEN
                utl_file.fclose(l_file);
             END IF;
                
             RAISE;
  END compress_files ;
  
  
  

  I had this problem. I forgot to put the variable 'l_pos' to the value 1 at the end of the loop.

• GET_SEARCH_RESULTS of handling service incase no documents found

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to get content information using service idc GET_SEARCH_RESULTS & using below code to perform this task. Incase document found, I get the correct results. But incase, if not found document, I do not get an error or an answer. The process is ended with code 0. I need to display a warning on demand when the user has requested is no document. How can I achieve that. Please help me.
  
  {} public void searchFile (String docTitle)
  try {}
  IdcClientManager Manager = new IdcClientManager();
  IdcClient idcClient = manager.createClient ("http://localhost:16200/cs/idcplg"); ")
  UserContext IdcContext = new IdcContext("weblogic","welcome1");
  
  DataBinder dataBinder = idcClient.createBinder ();
  dataBinder.putLocal ("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");
  dataBinder.putLocal ("QueryText", "xInvoiceId < match >" "+ docTitle +"'");
  dataBinder.putLocal ("ResultCount", "1");
  
  ServiceResponse = response (userContext, dataBinder) idcClient.sendRequest;
  DataBinder responseData = response.getResponseAsBinder ();
  ResultSet DataResultSet = responseData.getResultSet ("SearchResults");
  
  {for (DataObject dataObject: {resultSet.getRows ())}
  System.out.println ("Doc UCM name:" + dataObject.get ("dDocName"));
  System.out.println ("Doc UCM ID:" + dataObject.get ("dID"));
  }
  }
  } catch {} (IdcClientException co.)
  System.out.println ("IDC customer Exception occurred. Exception message: "+ ice.getMessage ());
  } catch (IOException ioe) {}
  System.out.println ("IO Exception has occurred. Failed to retrieve the file. Message: "+ ioe.getMessage ());
  } catch (Exception ex) {}
  System.out.println ("Exception message:" + ex.getMessage ());
  }
  }
  
  Thank you.

  You need to get some sort of response (if an error or other). In the DataBinder response, you can check in the LocalData TotalRows. If it is 0, then there are no results. You can also determine this trying to extract SearchResults ResultSet and checking if it is empty.

• List of files stored in a directory object

  Hello
  
  I looked on Google, Oracle DB docs and here to find a way to practice for the list of files stored in a DIRECTORY for the batch of loading into a table with PL/SQL. But no luck, UTL_FILE does not have a method of directory listing. I seen examples with a workaround like putting the list of files in a text file before loading. The directory is powered by other network services and process, so I don't know the list of the files that I need to import, and then remove. I do not have access to the server console, and it is impossible for me to throw a kind of "dir" result in a text file. I've seen other examples of using Java, but it seems that I have too much access to Java on the server side.
  
  Is there a simple way to do so only in PL/SQL?
  Otherwise, I'll ask the ADMINISTRATOR the rights necessary to compile/run java on the server side...
  
  Versions of target DB for this requirement are 10g and 11g (mainly) on Windows environment.
  
  Thank you
  Bruno

  As far as I'm concerned, obviously, but it is up to you to answer all the undocumented features is caveat emptor.

  DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE is the PL/SQL package that only RMAN backups.
  DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE is not documented in the Guide of packages provided (or whatever we call it) but has detailed comments in the package header in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. This is unlike some packages where Oracle have even wrapped the header. There are dozens of notes on Metalink describing certain circumstances where the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE call yourself is OK.

  SEARCHFILES procedure is called by RMAN when you manually catalog archives that start with a string.
  XUTL_FINDFILES exposes only and only the part of the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.
  The disadvantage of XUTL_FINDFILES is that it must be installed in the SYS schema due to the inevitable dependence on a table of $ fixed x.
  So the only privileged required to install XUTL_FINDFILES is you must be logged in as SYS. After its creation, you would run on XUTL_FINDFILES than that you wanted, then, as the security is controlled by directory objects. So it would be OK to grant execute on XUTL_FINDFILES to the public, because without privileges on a directory object, the package will not do anything.
  Some administrators will not like the fact that the package must be installed in the SYS. All I can say is try it on a development database and see what happens.

• Conditional loop

  Hello
  
  I thought it was a simple conditional loop to search for every occurrence of a string of serach in a variable. Basically by train to find the occurrence, he notes, then go. If findnocase isn't an accident, it should return 0, to end the loop:
  
  < cfset findvar = 1 >
  
  < Cfloop condition = "findvar GT 0" >
  < cfoutput >
  < cfset findvar = #findnocase("#form.searchterm#","#searchfile#",#findvar#) # >
  Position in the file: #findvar # < br >
  
  < / cfoutput >
  < / cfloop >
  
  This does not at all. Everything rotates forever and never returns a result.
  
  ... help? Thank you!

• The list of all the names of files in a directory

  Hello everyone,
  
  I need to write a script in PL/SQL (oracle 10g) that lists all the names of files in a specific directory on a client computer and import the files into the database (xml files). After you import the file, they must be removed.
  
  I was looking for a solution for this because I've never met a challenge like this.
  What I found was that I could use the procedure dbms_backup_restore.searchfiles of the SYS schema.
  Now, I need to know how this procedure works. There is very little documentation available.
  Can I give the procedure to a folder name on my customer's computer that contains xml files and let the procedure from the list of these files?
  
  Can anyone help me please with this. I have no idea.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  Kind regards
  Mariane

  Stored procedures generally are running on the database server, so they can access only files that are visible on the database server. Unless you have a rather unconventional configuration where your server has mounted the directory of the client in question, no code that runs on the database server will be able to access the files on your client system.

  Is there a client application that runs on the computer client connection to the database server? If Yes, this client application could handle some file manipulation is necessary?
