Need to output the contents of a specific file

[ladduq]

Hi,

Need to output the contents of a specific file

[foxidrive]

We'd need to see a sample of the file, and also be told what format you want the output to look like.

Hi

we cant see the file contents

Hi,
Why don't you try to open the file with notepad or notepad ++ (if the file big)
if you can read the content and it's not strange symbols let us know and there will be
a possiblity but if it contain symbols then i guess there is no chance without using the original program

[abc0502]

In case that the file can be read from the notepad
try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
cls
::===> Settings
set file1=%userprofile%\desktop\source.fpr
set file2=%userprofile%\desktop\output.txt
::===> Code
clip < "%file1%"

>"%temp%\clipboard.vbs" (
   echo.Set objHTML = CreateObject("htmlfile"^)
   echo.ClipboardText = objHTML.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text"^)
   echo.path = "%file2%"
   echo.Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"^)
   echo.Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(path, 2, true^)
   echo.objFile.WriteLine ClipboardText
   echo.objFile.Close )>>"%temp%\clipboard.vbs"
"%temp%\clipboard.vbs"
ping localhost -n 2 >nul
del /F /Q %temp%\clipboard.vbs

This will copy the content to clipboard then make a file and copy the content to it.
Don't forget to change the setting part in the batch file.

:by the way if the notepad can open it and you can read it just change .fpr to .txt
and check this too http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3030

Maybe I can help but only if

We'd need to see a sample of the file, and also be told what format you want the output to look like.

Which OS you have, cause this code isn't universal.

Code: Select all

clip < "%file1%"

On top of that, it's simply wrong.

he came her for a batch file so the os must be windows and the out put is text
see the end of the code

sourceanalyzer -scan -b buildid -f reports.txt

and i have a question why

Code: Select all

clip < "%file1%"

is wrong i tested the batch on text file and exe file it will out put the content if it is just readable text so if his content isn't readable like exe files he will need the program that generate the fpr file to read it

My bad, I meant which version of windows you use
The clip command

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows XP [versie 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\PROFSYS\ADMIN>clip
clip wordt niet herkend als een interne
of externe opdracht, programma of batchbestand.

C:\PROFSYS\ADMIN>echo.%errorlevel%
9009

I guess you meant

Code: Select all

>"%temp%\clipboard.vbs" (
   echo.Set objHTML = CreateObject("htmlfile"^)
   echo.ClipboardText = objHTML.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text"^)
   echo.path = "%file2%"
   echo.Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"^)
   echo.Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(path, 2, true^)
   echo.objFile.WriteLine ClipboardText
   echo.objFile.Close
)
"%temp%\clipboard.vbs"

without the additional

Code: Select all

>>"%temp%\clipboard.vbs"

But it may still work, not on my XP though, that's why I ask which OS he use.
But maybe I'm just old-school

He's using that new fandangled Windows, maybe.

CLIP

Description:
    Redirects output of command line tools to the Windows clipboard.
    This text output can then be pasted into other programs.

Parameter List:
    /?                  Displays this help message.

Examples:
    DIR | CLIP          Places a copy of the current directory
                        listing into the Windows clipboard.

    CLIP < README.TXT   Places a copy of the text from readme.txt
                        on to the Windows clipboard.

Why didn't MS make the tool able to read the clipboard as well?? Maybe that will be the enhancement in Windows 9.

Hi, Ed Dyreen I use windows 7 , i didn't use clip before and the first time was on 7 so i thought it was on xp too
and now i understand why u said "this code isn't universal"

[abc0502]

hi ladduq u said that the command:

Code: Select all

sourceanalyzer -scan -b buildid -f reports.txt 

doesn't work for the big file, see page 59 & 60 in the guide it talking about "Java  Heap  Exhaustion" i don't know what is it exactly but the problem is about heap space the default is 600 mb so basicly u will need to give more space then out put the reports.txt and then post the file so we can help in getting the lines u need.

Hi .. again
the symbols are in the results.fpr ... right!

you can select the output formate using "-format <format>" option
the allowed formats is fpr,fvd1,text and auto
so the output can be a text format and you can't read it if you did't put the option "format"
the "auto" is set as default and the output will be fpr type even if you write "-f results.txt"
i guess the code must be:

Code: Select all

sourceanalyzer -scan -b buildid -format text -f reports.txt

or

Code: Select all

sourceanalyzer -scan -b buildid -format txt -f reports.txt 

(i'm not sure txt or text)
in guide page no#35 "output options"
then if you want to search for a text in that file it will be easy using batch but if still symbols i guess there is no chance.
good luck
