I want to download a file from serena dimensions with script. I found from the manual that the command is FI
I am writing it like this
FI "" /USER_FILENAME="C:\path_to_my_file" /NOEXPAND /OVERWRITE
And i got this error:
PCM0005518E Error: Item not uniquely identified
Is there any way that with just the filename i can fetch the file?
Try something like this
FI /ROOT_PROJECT="PROD_NAME:PROJECT_NAME" /FILENAME="DIMENSION_PORJECT/PATH/FILENAME" - /USER_FILENAME="C:\path_local\set_filename.ext" /NOEXPAND /OVERWRITE
What is being done here is using ROOT_PROJECT we are limiting the search area to product and project. Then we are providing the full path of file in dimensions using the /FILENAME and then we are providing the local copy path in the /USER_FILENAME. This is where the file from the dimensions will be copied to.
In scenario your file in dimension has global scope or is in $GENRIC:$GLOBAL scope then you can get away by only the /FILENAME.

I'm creating a bash script that includes a function to compress a file to a new archive.
Basic example:
archive_path="/foo.7z"
target="/bar.txt"
7z a $archive_path $target
The problem I have is that I only ever want to create a new archive. If there are any existing archives at /foo.7z then bar.txt should not be added to it. Instead, either prompt the user to create a new name for the archive or just append a number on the end and create a new archive (e.g. /foo-1.7z).
I can't find anything in the documentation, on SO or a general internet search that explains how to do this natively with 7zip, which seems strange as I imagine it would be a very common requirement amongst users.
The only solution I can think of is to do this myself manually, something along the lines of:
archive_path="/foo.7z"
target="/bar.txt"
while [ -f $archive_path ]; do
read -p "'$archive_path' already exists. Enter new path for archive: " archive_path
done
7z a $archive_path $target
Is there any other way to do it natively with 7zip or do I need to handle this myself?
There doesn't seem to be any way of doing this with just 7z. While there is a "new archive" switch for the update flag, it will create both the new name and old one, plus you run into the problem of what happens when the new one exists as well. The best option is to do what you've done, or alternatively, something like this could work
arc='archive.7z'
new_arc=${arc}
target='file.txt'
while [[ -f ${new_arc} ]]; do
((i++))
new_arc=${arc%.*}${i}.${arc#*.}
done
7z a "${new_arc}" "${target}"
Which will rename the archive filename with an integer added before the extension (+1 each loop) until no file is found by that name. So you'll get archive.7z archive1.7z archive2.7z archive3.7z and so forth.
I use a streaming service (di.fm) that has many channels. Each channel has a playlist I stream from the CLI (using mpv). Each URL in each playlist stores the API KEY.
I want to store the API KEY outside of the individual playlists, so for example, if I change the API KEY, I don't have to change every playlist.
I'm on a Mac.
1) What is the best (safest) place to declare export DI_KEY=""? In .bashrc was my first thought, except I back it up to github. Any other better place to declare the env var that will be created each time I enter bash?
2) In the playlist file, how do I use the $DI_KEY in the URL?
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://prem4.di.fm:80/00sclubhits?$DI_KEY
Title1=DI.FM - 00s Club Hits
Length1=0
Version=2
Just referencing it directly doesn't work.
I'm sure this may be answered elsewhere, but in all my searching I couldn't find any helpful answers, particularly to questions 2.
Regarding setting env variables outside of .bashrc, you could create a separate file to define sensitive variables and source this from within your .bashrc.
For example, create a file ~.my-private-variables, add the filename to your .gitignore and add the line export DI_KEY="12345" to this file. Then add the following block in .bashrc:
if [ -f ~/.my-private-variables ]; then
. ~/.my-private-variables
fi
Regarding the playlist file, bash is not running the file, so the environment variable is not expanded.
You could dynamically generate the playlist when bash starts, something like this:
#!/bin/bash
filename=playlist-1.pls
baseurl=http://prem4.di.fm:80
cat << EOF > $filename
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=${baseurl}/00sclubhits?${DI_KEY}
Title1=DI.FM - 00s Club Hits
Length1=0
Version=2
EOF
This will expand the variable and write it to the file, in this case playlist-1.pls in the current working directory. You might add an absolute path to the filename variable that references your playlists directory.
To run this, you could create a script called playlist-generator and source this in .bashrc as described above. You could add as many playlists as you like here.
Oracle's sqlldr defaults to a .dat extension. That I want to override. I don't like to rename the file. When googled get to know few answers to use . like data='fileName.' which is not working. Share your ideas, please.
Error message is fileName.dat is not found.
Sqlloder has default extension for all input files data,log,control...
data= .dat
log= .log
control = .ctl
bad =.bad
PARFILE = .par
But you have to pass filename without apostrophe and dot
sqlloder pass/user#db control=control data=data
sqloader will add extension. control.ctl data.dat
Nevertheless i do not understand why you do not want to specify extension?
You can't, at least in Unix/Linux environments. In Windows you can use the trailing period trick, specifying either INFILE 'filename.' in the control file or DATA=filename. on the command line. WIndows file name handling allows that; you can for instance do DIR filename. at a command prompt and it will list the file with no extension (as will DIR filename). But you can't do that with *nix, from a shell prompt or anywhere else.
You said you don't want to copy or rename the file. Temporarily renaming it might be the simplest solution, but as you may have a reason not to do that even briefly you could instead create a hard or soft link to the file which does have an extension, and use that link as the target instead. You could wrap that in a shell script that takes the file name argument:
# set variable from correct positional parameter; if you pass in the control
# file name or other options, this might not be $1 so adjust as needed
# if the tmeproary file won't be int he same directory, need to be full path
filename=$1
# optionally check file exists, is readable, etc. but overkill for demo
# can also check temporary file does not already exist - stop or remove
# create soft link somewhere it won't impact any other processes
ln -s ${filename} /tmp/${filename##*/}.dat
# run SQL*Loader with soft link as target
sqlldr user/password#db control=file.ctl data=/tmp/${filename##*/}.dat
# clean up
rm -f /tmp/${filename##*/}.dat
You can then call that as:
./scriptfile.sh /path/to/filename
If you can create the link in the same directory then you only need to pass the file, but if it's somewhere else - which may be necessary depending on why renaming isn't an option, and desirable either way - then you need to pass the full path of the data file so the link works. (If the temporary file will be int he same filesystem you could use a hard link, and you wouldn't have to pass the full path then either, but it's still cleaner to do so).
As you haven't shown your current command line options you may have to adjust that to take into account anything else you currently specify there rather than in the control file, particularly which positional argument is actually the data file path.
I have the same issue. I get a monthly download of reference data used in medical application and the 485 downloaded files don't have file extensions (#2gb). Unless I can load without file extensions I have to copy the files with .dat and load from there.
I am receiving an input from the user which looks like follows:
echo +++Your input:+++
read USER_INPUT
The way I should use it is to retrieve the full name of a folder which starts with that input, but that contains other stuffs right after. All I know is that the folder is unique.
For example:
User input
123456
Target folder
/somepath/someotherpath/123456-111-222
What I need
MYNEED=123456-111-222
I was thinking to retrieve this with an MYNEED=$(ls /somepath/someotherpath/$USER_INPUT*), but if I do this I will get instead all the content of /somepath/someotherpath/123456-111-222 because that's the only folder existing with that name so the ls command directly goes to the next step.
May I have your idea to retrieve the value 123456-111-222 into a variable that I will need to use after?
basename extracts the filename from the whole path so this will do it:
MYNEED=$(basename /somepath/someotherpath/123456*)
So I'm making a game with Ruby/Gosu and the lines to load all the images look like this:
#image_name = Gosu::Image.new(self, 'C:\Users\Carlos\Desktop\gamefolder\assets\bg.jpg', false)
I want to refer to them based on their location relative to the referring file. The file which includes the above line is in C:\Users\Carlos\Desktop\gamefolder\, so I would think I could just change the above to '\assets\bg.jpg' or 'assets\bg.jpg', but this doesn't work.
The specific error is "Could not load image assets/bg.jpg using either GDI+ or FreeImage: Unknown Error (Runtime Error)."
If you want to get the current directory (of your execution context, not necessarily the file you're 'in'), just use Dir.pwd. Output this to console to check that your current directory is actually gamefolder.
To get the current directory of your actual ruby file (relative to Dir.pwd), use __FILE__, e.g.
File.dirname(__FILE__)
Pass that to File.expand_path to get a fully-qualified path. You can do a little sanity check by making sure File.exists?("#{File.expand_path File.dirname __FILE__}/assets/bg.jpg") returns true.
(Try File.expand_path('assets/bg.jpg')...that might be all you need here.)
