I have over 500 RDF reports files and i need to collect all them in 1 folder, read and find some code. I need to find out if the report contains a certain code. Each report has its own ID, after which I have to get which report contains a specific code
Well, if you installed Oracle Reports Builder (or Developer, depending on version), you'd be able to open those reports and easily see what they are doing.
Without it, as RDF files aren't actually text files, you can open them in any text editor (such as Notepad) and use its search capabilities to find what you want. That's most probably a SELECT statement.
How does it look like? Ugly; have a look at RDF excerpt (select begins at line #7):

begin
srw.get_report_name(report);

If you had JSP files instead (or along with RDFs), that would look prettier as JSPs are easily readable in a text editor.
However: as you said
I have to get which report contains a specific code
why wouldn't you just search through all those reports from your operating system? There are various tools that let you search through files (i.e. not only by their names, but their contents as well).
I use Agent Ransack (which is free for personal and commercial use): specify which files you want to search through (*.RDF), specify what you're looking for (e.g. "from adresa_slanja") and it'll return all files that contain that string.
I have recently resolved this for myself. What I ended up doing to resolve the issue is: I created a python script which uses rwconverter to convert all reports to XML, from there I used regex to look for the line and then replace it.
After that I used rwconverter to convert it back to RDF and that's it.
Beware: If you had problems with fonts, those fonts will disappear from reports.

Can I make a auto copy paste program to make my table-
Sl. Phone. Name. Salary

2. .......
Like this? Suggest me the best suitable platform to compile this.. Its best for me, if a bat file can do the job.. I know bit odd question.. And I should not ask the entire program,rather a section of it..Bt still....... actually I don't know from where to start..
Rather than use a wget which will only retrieve the document, what you want is a way of parsing the results of the web content and writing into an output file.
After searching the web, I could only come across
lynx which
is a text based browser and you can parse the -dump parameter to
output the text into file which you can then write a script to do
the final bit.
Also take a look at this
link
for more info on switches you can use most especially if the desired
text has links in it (-nolist)
elinks which is an advanced text based browser
I have problem with Chinese characters when I export them from Oracle forms 10g to Excel on Windows 7. Although they look like Chinese but they are not Chinese characters. Take this into consideration that I have already changed the language of my computer to Chinese and restarted my computer. I use owa_sylk utility and call the excel report like:
v_url := 'http://....../excel_reports.rep?sqlString=' ||
v_last_query ||
'&font_name=' ||
'Arial Unicode MS'||
'&show_null_as=' ||
' ' ;
web.show_document(v_url,'_self');
Here you can see what it looks like:
Interestingly, when I change the language of my computer to English, this column is empty. Besides, I realized that if I open the file with a text editor then it has the right Chinese word, but when we open it with Excel we have problem.
Does anyone has a clue?
Thanks
Yes, the problem comes from different encodings. If DB uses UTF-8 and you need to send ASCII to Excel, you can convert data right inside the owa_sylk. Use function convert.
For ex. in function owa_sylk.print_rows change
p( line );
on
p(convert(line, 'ZHS32GB18030','AL32UTF8'));
Where 'ZHS32GB18030' is one of Chinese ASCII and 'AL32UTF8' - UTF-8.
To choose encoding parameters use Appendix A
You can also do
*SELECT * FROM V$NLS_VALID_VALUES WHERE parameter = 'CHARACTERSET'*
to see all the supported encodings.
This is a character encoding issue. What you need to make sure is that all tools in the whole chain (database, web service, Excel, text editor and web browser) use the same character encoding.
Changing your language can help here but a better approach is to nail the encoding down for each part of the chain.
The web browser, for example, will prefer the encoding supplied by the web server over the OS's language settings.
See this question how to set UTF-8 encoding (which can properly display Chinese in any form) for Oracle: export utf-8 data to text file with oracle sql developer
I'm not sure how to set the encoding for owa_sylk, you will have to check the documentation (couldn't find any, though). If you can't find anything, ask a question here or use a different tool.
So you need to find out who executes excel_reports.rep and configure that correctly. Use a developer tool of your web browser and check the "charset" or "encoding" of the page.
The problems in Excel are based on the file format which you feed into it. Excel (.xls and .xlsx files) files are Unicode safe, .csv isn't. So if you can read the file in your text editor, chances are that this is a non-Excel file format which Excel can parse but it doesn't contain the necessary encoding information.
If you were able to generate a UTF-8 encoded file with the steps above, you can load the file by using "Choose 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) from the drop-down list that appears next to File origin." in the "Text Import Wizard" (source)
Motivation: I am rewriting a doc -- text files to be processed later. The new sources now use UTF-8. Large portions of the sources are the same. I need to find differences.
Details: The old doc sources use the cp1250 encoding, the new sources use the UTF-8. Both new and old sources use the same line endings (CR+LF). I am using the Unicode version of the WinMerge application (WinMergeU.exe), version 2.12.4.0.
It almost works, but... When the lines differ, they are initially marked as block by the dark yellow, and the different portions are marked using the lighter colour. When moving the red block cursor there, the panes below show the different part.
However, the block of text is marked by the dark yellow also in cases when (the Unicode representation of) the text is the same. The red block moves also to those portions of the files. In such case, the two panes below (that show the differences) containt the same text and nothing is marked as different. See the picture below:
The very first line differs -- this is OK. But the second line has visually the same content. The only character outside of the ASCII range is Ú there. It has a different representation in the encoded sources. This causes the line marked as different, but the panes below does not mark anyting at the line as different.
See also the following paragraphs that are exactly the same (only the encoding in the sources differ, the same line ending is used).
It looks as if the initial comparison were based on binary representation of the lines. Is there any setting to tell WinMerge that the comparison (I mean the block marking) should be based on Unicode content?
I tried hard, but no luck, yet.
Update: The above question was for the latest stable 2.12.4. The beta version 2.13.22 works just perfectly for me. See my answer below.
This doesn't really answer your question about WinMerge, but have you considered using another diff program? One of my favorites is kdiff - http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/
When I do a compare on KDiff using one UTF8 file and another Unicode file, I get the following:
Here is the compare screen - note that the encodings on the files are different, but the files are considered to be equal from a text standpoint:
I think it really should not be the task of a merge tool to allow the merging of files stored in different encodings.
An encoding is a function that maps bytes (stored on the disk or in memory) to characters (displayed on screen). Unfortunately, by default the encoding of a file is not stored together with the file. Therefore, any program that wants to open the file and display its contents needs to guess the encoding. While this sometimes works, it is also an error prone procedure.
Now, the character sets of different encodings do not overlap in general. So what is the merge tool supposed to do if you merge a character C from file A in encoding X into a file B in encoding Y, if character C is not part of the character set of encoding Y?
Thus, I think the task of a merge tool should be to merge the binary content. Anything else is a dirty hack and damned to fail at some level. (A merge tool maker may decide to provide character level merging, which also might work most of the time. But there is some guesswork involved.)
Therefore, I'd also recommend you first translate the old files to UTF-8 and then merge those with the new versions.
Just for your information. The question was for the latest stable 2.12.4. I have tried the beta version 2.13.22, and it works just perfectly for me. See the difference for exactly the same files -- only the first lines in the files were removed. (My big thanks to authors.)
Edit -> Options
Select 'Compare' from categories pane on left.
Check box 'Ignore carriage return differences' (UNIX, Windows, Mac)
I would recommend converting the files to the same encoding before diffing.
If you are working with a version control system I'd recommend the following:
Create a fresh checkout of the files
Convert all files to UTF-8
Commit the files
Copy your new files over
Use WinMerge
That way you end up with two commits in the history - one for the encoding change and another for the content changes and WinMerge will work as expected.
What about option File -> File Encoding... in WinMerge? It allows to set encoding for files independently.
I have compiled a list of db object names, one name per line, in a text file. I want to know for each names, where it is being used. The target search is a group of folders containing sub-folders of source codes.
Before I give up looking for a tool to do this and start creating my own, perhaps you can help to point to me an existing one.
Ideally, it should be a Windows desktop application. I have not used grep before.
use grep (there are tons of port of this command to windows, search the web).
eventually, use AgentRansack.
See our Source Code Search Engine. It indexes a large code base according to the atoms (tokens) of the language(s) of interest, and then uses that index to quickly execute structured queries stated in terms of language elememnts. It is a kind of super-grep, but it isn't fooled by comments or string literals, and it automatically ignores whitespace. This means you get a lot fewer false positive hits than you get with grep.
If you had an identifier "foo", the following query would find all mentions:
I=foo
For C and Java, you can constrain the types of identifier accesses to Use, Read, Write or Defines.
D=bar*
would find only declarations of identifiers which started with the letters "bar".
You can write more complex queries using sequences of language tokens:
'int' I=*baz* '['
for C, would find declarations of any variable name that contained the letters "baz" and apparantly declared an array.
You can see the hits in a GUI, and one-click navigate to a source code view of any hit.
It is a Windows application. It handles a wide variety of languages: C#, C++, Java, ... and many more.
I had created an SSIS package to load my 500+ source code files that is distributed into some depth of folders belongs to several projects, into a table, with 1 row as 1 line from the files (total is 10K+ lines).
I then made a select statement against it, by cross-applying the table that keeps the list of 5K+ keywords of db objects, with the help of RegEx for MS-SQL, http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql-programming/clr-assembly-regex-functions-for-sql-server-by-example/. The query took almost 1.5 hr to complete.
I know it's a long winded, but this is exactly what I need. I thank you for your efforts in guiding me. I would be happy to explain the details further, should anyone gets interested using my method.
insert
dbo.DbObjectUsage
select
do.Id as DbObjectId,

where
dbo.RegExIsMatch('\b' + do.name + '\b', fl.Line, 0) != 0
I use real basic for programming and I want to export some data to a word file that can be opened with "Open Office" or any other word processing software that can work on MAC OSX, any advise?
You didn't indicate what sort of data you're dealing with so I'll just assume text. Take a look at the StyledText class since it can read/write RTF which can be read by most word processors. http://docs.realsoftware.com/index.php/StyledText The drawback is that they only support a subset of RTF and don't support images.
If you have images and want a little more control I would recommend the Formatted Text Control from True North Software. http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/formattedtextcontrol/ It's a little pricey, but it's well worth it. True RTF support as well as a lot of XML options. You can create a very nice looking export via code.
You can always just create a plain old text file using the TextOutputStream which any word processor can open and read. http://docs.realsoftware.com/index.php/TextOutputStream
If you're on Windows, you can export directly to Word using the WordApplication class. http://docs.realsoftware.com/index.php/WordApplication That's not a cross-platform solution though.
TextOutputStream in itself only outputs characters, but if the text is rtfdata and you give it a fileending of .rtf it is interpreted as an RTF-file.
You can actually give the file a .doc, and it will be opended in Word as default (assuming word is default for .doc files)
