I have a shell script, in which it connects to db and extracts the data into .CSV file. but when i downloaded the file and opened in excel it is appending zeros to last three digits of a column, because the column has 18 digits, but excel can support only upto 15 for number, is there any way that I can change my logic in shell script so when opening in excel doesn't show last three digits as zeros
Thanks in Advance
A number that contains more than 15 digits in Excel, it changes any digits past the fifteenth place to zeros. You can cast the column values to string on export.
// Use customizeData
exportOptions: {
//--
},
customizeData: function (data) {
// This code is to find the column name's index which you want to cast.
var ind = data.header.indexOf("ColumnName");
for (var i = 0; i < data.body.length; i++) {
// will cast the number to string.
data.body[i][ind] = '\u200C' + data.body[i][ind];
}
}

If you need to look data in Excel, you must put number data in text format. So, Excel doesn't try to convert it to number. To do so, put numbers in CSV file as below
="123123123123123123123";="123123123123123123123"

I have a requirement, where the file is pipe "|" delimited.
The first row contains the headers, and the count of columns is 5.
I have to delete only the string in the 3rd column if it matches the pattern.
Also note the 3rd column can contain strings with commas ,, semicolon ; or colon : but it will never contain a pipe | (due to which we have chosen a pipe delimiter).
Input File:
COL1|COL2|COL3|COL4|COL5
1|CRIC|IPL|CRIC1:IPL_M1;IPL_M2;TEST_M1,CRIC2:ODI_M1;IPL_M3|C1|D1
2|CRIC|TEST|CRIC1:TEST_M2,CRIC2:ODI_M1;IPL_M1;TEST_M2;IPL_M3;T20_M1|C2|D2
Output should change only in COL3 no other columns should be changed, i.e. in COL3 the string which matches the pattern 'IPL_' should be present.
Any other strings like "TEST_M1","ODI_M1" should be made null.
And any unwanted semi colons should be removed.
eg
Question - CRIC1:IPL_M1;IPL_M2;TEST_M1,CRIC2:ODI_M1;IPL_M3
result - CRIC1:IPL_M1;IPL_M2,CRIC2:IPL_M3
Another scenario where if only strings that do not match "IPL_" are present then
Question - CRIC1:TEST_M1,CRIC2:ODI_M1
Result - CRIC1:,CRIC2:
Output File:
COL1|COL2|COL3|COL4|COL5
1|CRIC|IPL|CRIC1:IPL_M1;IPL_M2,CRIC2:IPL_M3|C1|D1
2|CRIC|TEST|CRIC1:,CRIC2:IPL_M1;IPL_M3|C2|D2
Basic requirement is to find and replace the string,
INPUT
COL1|COL2|COL3|COL4|COL5
1|A1|A12|A13|A14|A15
Replace A13 with B13 in column 3 (A13 can change, I mean we have to find any pattern like A13)
OUTPUT
COL1|COL2|COL3|COL4|COL5
1|A1|A12|B13|A14|A15
Thanks in advance.
Re formatting the scenario in simpler terms,by taking only 2 columns, where I need to search "IPL_" and keep only those strings and any other string like "ODI_M3;TEST_M5" should be deleted
{
I/P:
{
COL1|COL2
CRIC1|IPL_M1;IPL_M2;TEST_M1
CRIC2|ODI_M1;IPL_M3
CRIC3|ODI_M3;TEST_M5
CRIC4|IPL_M5;ODI_M5;IPL_M6
}
O/P:
{
COL1|COL2
CRIC1|IPL_M1;IPL_M2
CRIC2|IPL_M3
CRIC3|
CRIC4|IPL_M5;IPL_M6
}
Awaiting your precious suggestions.
Please help I'm new to this platform.

If I'm reading this correctly (and I'm not entirely sure I am; I'm going mostly by the provided examples), then this could be done relatively sanely with Perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(<>) {
if($. > 1) {
local #F = split /\|/;
$F[3] = join(",", map {
local #H = split /:/;
$H[1] = join(";", grep(/IPL_/, split(";", $H[1])));
join ":", #H;
} split(/,/, $F[3]));
$_ = join "|", #F;
}
print;
}
Put this code into a file, say foo.pl, then if your data is in a file data.txt you can run
perl -f foo.pl data.txt
This works as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Read lines from input (in our case: data.txt)
while(<>) {
# In all except the first line (the header line):
if($. > 1) {
# Apply the transformation. To do this, first split the line into fields
local #F = split /\|/;
# Then edit the third field. This has to be read right-to-left at the top
# level, which is to say: first the field is split along commas, then the
# tokens are mapped according to the code in the inner block, then they
# are joined with commas between them again.
$F[3] = join(",", map {
# the map block does a similar thing. The inner tokens (e.g.,
# "CRIC1:IPL_M1;IPL_M2") are split at the colon into the CRIC# part
# (which is to be unchanged) and the value list we want to edit.
local #H = split /:/;
# This value list is again split along semicolons, filtered so that
# only those elements that match /IPL_/ remain, and then joined with
# semicolons again.
$H[1] = join(";", grep(/IPL_/, split(";", $H[1])));
# The map result is the CRIC# part joined to the edited list with a colon.
join ":", #H;
} split(/,/, $F[3]));
# When all is done, rejoin the outermost fields with pipe characters
$_ = join "|", #F;
}
# and print the result.
print;
}
I want to create an object in R, which will contain one string, with a few variables (in my case it is file path). When I try to use paste to concatenate the file paths I can see only one last variable instead of all variables in one string. I use next code:
for(i in seq_len(nrow(samples))) {
lib = samples$conditions[i]
txtFile = file.path(lib, "hits.txt")
testfiles = paste(txtFile, sep = ',')
}
print(testfiles)
and get something like
cond/hits.txt,
instead of
cond/hits.txt,cond1/hits.txt,cond2/hits.txt and so on
Thank you very much for help
I am trying to read and parse and excel and some unclear things come into play as usual for me.
Here is what i have:
while (true)
{
comVariantCell1 = cells.item(row, 1).value().variantType();
comVariantCell2 = cells.item(row, 2).value().variantType();
//if an empty cell is found, processing will stop and user will get an error message in order to solve the inconsistency.
if (comVariantCell1 != COMVariantType::VT_EMPTY && comVariantCell2 != COMVariantType::VT_EMPTY)
{
//both cells have values, check their types.
importedLine = conNull();
progress1.setText(strfmt("Importing row %1", row));
if (cells.item(row, 1).value().variantType() == COMVariantType::VT_BSTR)
{
importedLine += cells.item(row, 1).value().bStr();
}
else
{
importedLine += cells.item(row, 1).value().double();
}
importedLine += cells.item(row, 2).value().double();
importedLinesCollection += [importedLine]; //conIns(importedLinesCollection, row - 1, (importedLine));
row++;
}
else
{
info (strFmt("Empty cell found at line %1 - import will not continue and no records were saved.", row));
break;
}
}
Excel format:
Item number Transfer Qty
a100 50.5
a101 10
a102 25
This worked well to check if the cell type is string: COMVariantType::VT_BSTR
but what should i use to check for a real or integer value ?
I am pretty sure in this case, the quantity will be not contain real values but anyway, it could be useful in the future to make the difference between these two types.
I have to mention that, even if i have an int value and I use cells.item(row, 1).value().int() it won't work. I can't see why.
Why do i want to make the difference? Because if it's forbidden to have real values in the quantity column ( at least in my case ), i want to check that and give the user the opportunity to put a correct value in that place and maybe further investigate why that happened to be there.
Take a look on how it is done in \Classes\SysDataExcelCOM\readRow.
It is basically using switch to test the type. This is really boring!
Also take a look on ExcelIO, a class I made some years ago. It reads Excel and returns each row as a container. This is a more high-level approach.
As a last resort you could save the Excel as a tab separated file. Then use TextIO to read the content. This will be at least 10 times faster than using Excel!
I have read this article and tested, it works but my problem is that there are one wide empty column (column A) and one wide empty row (row 1) in every sheet (in excel file). I know that this is the setting of PrintingBase class. But how can i remove those first empty column and row ?
i have found the answer to my own question:
var compositeLink = new CompositeLinkBase();
var link1 = new PrintableComponentLinkBase();
// this is the margins in sheet1
link1.Margins.Left = 0;
link1.MinMargins.Left = 0;
link1.Component = DG1;
compositeLink.Links.Add(link1);
// then export to excel :)
I have a dropdownlist that has the value of two columns in it... One column is a number ranging from 5 characters long to 8 characters long then a space then the '|' character and another space, followed by a Description for the set of numbers.
An example:
12345678 | Description of Product
In order to pull the items for the dropdownlist into my database I need a to utilize a substring to pull the sequence of numbers out only.
Is it possible to write a substring to pull multiple character lengths? (Sometimes it may be 6 numbers, sometimes 5 numbers, sometimes 8, it would depend on what the user selected from the dropdownlist.)
Use a regular expression for this.
Assuming the number is at the start of the string, you can use the following:
^[0-9]+
Usage:
var theNumbers = RegEx.Match(myDropdownValue, "^[0-9]+").Value;
You could also use string.Split to get the parts separated by | if you know the first part is what you need and will always be numeric:
var theNumbers = myDropdownValue.Split("| ".ToCharArray(),
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0];
Either of these approaches will result in a string. You can use int.Parse on the result in order to get an integer from it.
This is how I would do it
string str = "12345678 | Description of Product";
int delimiter;
delimiter = str.IndexOf("|") - 1;
string ID =str.substring(0, delimiter);
string desc = str.substring(delimiter + 1, str.length - 1);
Try using a regex to pull out the first match of a sequence of numbers of any length. The regex will look something like "^\d+" - starts with any number of decimal digits.
Instead of using substring, you should use Split function.
var words = phrase.Split(new string[] {" | "},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var number = word[0];
