UTL_FILE put data in csv file

The problem is that I have line break characters in my varchar column. And when I write them in the .csv file, it does not come in a single cell. Instead, it divides into several lines, wherever it finds the new line character. How should I solve this? I want the result in a single cell. Help, please.

I changed the code to search the columns date separately. Thanks for the solutions. I'm fine now.

  • Conversion of hundreds of data in CSV files. Script on command prompt?

    Hi, so I think I have a unique problem with an easy solution. I have more than 1400 files which are actually (roughly acsii) RAW data files that I need to parse CSV files converted. They are all in the same folder, and I know there are scripts there to take all the files in the folder and the list of people in the CSV format. I just want to convert all the files in the CSV file. I could use Excel and manually convert all 1400 of them, but there must be a better way. Also, it would be great if everything was annexed to 1 VERY large CSV file.

    I'm relatively new to the windows command prompt window, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    Check this: copy command to allow adding files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX2SXdR9yfw

    You can use it to combine all the files, then open them only once, and convert the whole thing to a CSV file in a single step.

    can someone help me find the method to import and select the client machine file?

    THX.

    You want to import the contents of the file or the file itself? I assume that you want to import the contents of the file. For this, there are really only two options to make an Excel (.csv) file and import into shapes; WebUtil or a JavaBean. Some examples of both:

    What I have to do is create a VI in LabVIEW to visualize these data.

    I did it as below:

    It seems correct, but the x axis is the axis of time and 16:46:59 it's just to show 16, I know that I have not done something to handle this.

    But I'm not able to find what I can do in this case.

    Please suggest how to get exact values full time on the x-axis.

    Code of your VI contains a bit of 'orphan' reading of the worksheet"which has wired the file path.  Diagram-disable (or remove) this superfluous code and your VI will work very well with Temp.txt in control of the path of the file.

  • Problem importing specific data from .csv file

    Hello!

    I use JDev 11.1.3.0 with JSF ui and I followed the excellent example on the importation of values separated by commas of a file .csv, M. Bors, but I have a specific problem...

    (1) when I try to import a value date (format dd/mm/yyyy) to a date field in my table of the adf, the date will not be accepted and it is not shown (I use Row.setAttribute ('field', text) for this purpose). I guess I have to enter in a specific format, but do not know how!
    (2) the same with double values. I tried showing 1.50 and it's on the table of the adf 0.02. Tried of 1.50 (with a different text separator) and he throws me an error and doesn't show anything on the table (again I use Row.setAttribute ('field', text) for that one too)...

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you

    Published by: Nikolas Saridakis on 6 Νοε 2010 11:10 πμ

    I don't know, but it the seam that you set the type inappropriate at the table of the adf. I guess you read the CSV as string data. When you use

    row.setAttribute("filed_name", value);
    

    You must pass an object of the appropriate type of the attribute defined in the table. Therefore, convert the string containing the date to a Date object before asking in the previous row. Even with the double, you must convert the string "1.50' to a dual purpose."

  • UTL_FILE import csv file

    Hello

    I am writing a procdeure use the utl_file.get_line to read csv files and then proceed to a treatment before inserting data into a table.

    The csv file has four columns. The third column data have a newline when reading the file I get an error value.

    The procedure cannot detect the length of the 3rd field, it cannot detect the 3rd decimal point because this column has a line break.

    To differentiate the length of the column between each ',' part of the code I use is below.

    BEGIN

    Starts: = UTL_FILE. FOPEN ("D:\TEST','CT. CSV', 'R', 32765);

    loop

    UTL_FILE. GET_LINE (starts, input_String);

    delChar varchar2 (1): = ', ';

    -first field
    v_Pos: = instr (input_String, delChar, 1, 1);
    v_lenString: = v_Pos - 1;
    v_compname: = substr(input_String,1,v_lenString);

    v_startPos: = v_Pos + 1;

    -This will get the second field
    v_Pos: = instr (input_String, delChar, 1, 2);
    v_lenString: = v_Pos - v_startPos;
    v_comptype: = substr (input_String, v_startPos, v_lenString);

    v_startPos: = v_Pos + 1;

    -3rd field
    v_Pos: = instr (input_String, delChar, 1, 3);

    v_lenString: = v_Pos - v_startPos;
    v_notes: = substr (input_String, v_startPos, v_lenString);


    v_startPos: = v_Pos + 1;
    -the last land - there is no delimiter for last field
    v_Pos: = length (input_String) + 1;
    v_lenString: = v_Pos - v_startPos;
    v_comptypemodel: = substr (input_String, v_StartPos, v_lenString);

    OK, my apologies, I don't see the real problem you're trying to solve in the first post (it helps us if you format code / data using a font courier etc. in the Advanced Editor)

    Here is the response from Tom Kyte...

    https://asktom.Oracle.com/pls/Apex/f?p=100:11:0:P11_QUESTION_ID:2818047000346046084

    While there is an option in 11 GR 2 from an external preprocessor allows to process the file (which can be useful for files of decompression etc - see pretreatment: preprocess external Tables) it will probably not help in your case, because you will not easily be able to determine what 'new line' characters to substitute something else for you to make the difference when loading the data.

    Creating the CSV data can be modified to replace the line break characters in text by something else?  or use a different delimiter to the end of line?  That would be the ideal solution.

  • Error importing CSV files with "hidden" characters using the external Table

    Hi people

    Bit of a strange here.

    Well, we are accustomed to the use of the external Table method to load data from CSV files in the database, but a recent event presented us a problem.

    We have received some CSV files that "look like" regular CSV files, but Oracle will not load them.

    When we looked at the CSV using VIM on a UNIX machine, we saw the following characters 'hidden' between each regular character in the file.
    ^@
    If a string that looks like this when opened in Excel/Wordpad etc.
    "TEST","TEXT"
    Looks like this when exmained with VIM
    ^@"^@T^@E^@S^@T^@"^@,^@"^@T^@E^@X^@T^@"
    Has anyone encountered this before?

    Thank you very much

    Simon Gadd
    Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

    Hi Simon,.

    ^ @ represents the ZERO character (0x00).
    So, most likely, you have a file encoded in Unicode.

    You need to specify the character set in the record specification (and if necessary the byte order mark), for example:

    CREATE TABLE ext_table
    (
      col1 VARCHAR2(10),
      col2 VARCHAR2(10)
    )
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    (
      TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
      DEFAULT DIRECTORY dump_dir
      ACCESS PARAMETERS
      (
       RECORDS DELIMITED BY '
    ' CHARACTERSET 'UTF16'
      FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
      )
      LOCATION ('dump.csv')
    )
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
