Good Day!
I am uploading some files in form as attachments and I am trying to filter the uploaded file extensions. But I am not getting the exact solution for this.
Is there any way to filter the extensions of the files being uploaded in file attachments?
Thank you so much for the help.
If you mean blocking file upload based on the extension you can do so in File Upload Preference Screen (SM202550):
If you mean the filter for the native open file dialog. It seems hardcoded for a handful of common web files and I don't think it can be changed easily.
If you mean the file upload dialog grid, unlike most grids in the system it is not filterable through the column headers:
Maybe the Search in Files page (SM202520) is what you're looking for. You can search files based on extension here:

I have a folder with a large amount of .doc and .docx files, I would like to develop a python script to edit the tags of each file so I can find a file in the folder using the tags - thus making my life a little easier.
I am unsure of how to even start and was hoping someone could point me to a library or provide some sample code to help me get started.
I am not sure if the file extenstion matters because this seems to be a windows property (right-click file > Properties > Details > Tags > type in tags) but if the extension matters I do can change all the files to be .docx
The python-docx package provides methods to access most of the metatdata in a word file. The class docx.opc.coreprops.CoreProperties in specific allows you to modify author, category, etc. I didn't see tags mentioned but if you do some more research i'm sure you can find it.
docx.opc.coreprops.CoreProperties.keywords can be used to update doc file tags.

I am a newbie in the NetSuite world. We are trying to integrate NetSuite with our ERP and I am doing some preliminary research to find out what would be the best option moving ahead. The primary objective of the first task is to download huge volume of data from NetSuite to our end and find alternatives approaches.
I did some research on SuiteScript/SuiteTalk/Analytics and some facts I have come to find and my questions are below:
Custom search can be created and save SuiteScript/SuiteTalk.
This saved search can be invoked via both SuiteScript as well as SuiteTalks
Well have a confusion, is the Saved Search the View, which SuiteAnalytics can access? (NOT MY MAIN QUESTION THOUGH!!).
Using SuiteScript, return of Saved Search execution can be saved on as a flat file, and that file can be moved to File Cabinet. Exposing a REST API using RESTlet, this file can be downloded. [But have not implemented this yet!!]
[MAIN QUESTION] IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THE SAME, CREATE A FLAT FILE AT NETSUITE END USING SUITTALK? AND ALSO HOW TO DO SAVE/MOVE THE FILE TO FILE CABINET AFTER THAT?
I have not researched more on the topic File Cabinet and how a created file or files here are indexed?
Or Is it better to load whole result set from the SOAP call?
Your comments are highly appreciated!
Thank you!
You can certainly execute a saved search via SuiteTalk. You can also loop through all the results of the saved search and do whatever you'd like with those results, such as create a text file.
The SuiteTalk API also allows for accessing the File Cabinet to create or retrieve files, with limitations on file size.
Suitetalk can be used to create File and move file from a folder to another by changing the folder internalId of the fileObject.
Since you are using the Suitetalk to create/load Saved Search; you are required to create and save the CSV at your end using the search result and then move the file to file cabinet.
Since your objective is to get huge data from NetSuite I would recommend below option:
Use Scheduled script/Map Reduce to build a file and place it in required folder of file cabinet
Using Suitetalk you can extract that file. (Note: You don't need REST do this job. You can get the fileContents and store the result at your end. You cannot directly store the file. You will have to store the filecontents)
Thanks #netsuite-guru and #suite-resources!
So doing some further research, and considering your recommendations, the server side(at NETSUITE) scripting can be done only using SuiteScript to achieve the goal of automating - READ from NetSuite and WRITE to File to FILECABINET!
Also found another good read thread as an option to MapReduce link
But would go with "Scheduled script/Map Reduce" at this time.
Suppose we are migrating a set of MS Office files from (say) a Shared drive to SharePoint (eg SharePoint Online). Limited to Office 2007 onwards, so file extensions like DOCX, XLSX.
We see that the size of the file changes when it is saved to SharePoint - as certain metadata is added.
(Though file sizes of non MS Office files such as PDF or JPEG do NOT change).
These MS Office files are "containers" in which are placed a number of component parts - this situation can be viewed crudely by changing the Extension of an XLSX file (say) to ZIP, and opening it with WinZip.
For good sound integrity reasons we want to assure ourselves that the "File Content" component part has not changed.
How can we identify the component parts within those containers which represent the Content?
Are such component parts Invariant when when saved to SharePoint as described?
If so, are there any utilities which could analyse a pair of such files and confirm that the content is the same, or if it has been changed? Is there perhaps some checksum we could generate from both files and compare.
If no such utility exists what sort of environment would be best for creating one? - could it be done in VB.NET and/or C# for instance?
Thanks.
This previous post related to same issue, but does not provide the sort of answer we need. C# - Hash contents of MS Office documents without metadata
Interesting topic.
How can we identify the component parts within those containers which represent the Content?
within the docx you will need to assess each of the content files. Please be aware that the files within a docx are compressed using deflate. So you will probably have to inflate them. This is not only the document.xml and the document.xml.rels file but also:
- the header xml files (can be more then 1)
- header .rels files
- footer xml files (againa multiple files)
- footer .rels files)
- the media files (containing images)
You even have to check the core.xml file if SharePoint property demotion alters a field like title.
To summarise, you cannot compare the docx files at the docx level. You will need to unpack them and compare (use e.g. CRC32 or MD5) each of the "content" files.
I am not aware of utilities providing this functionality.
Note: if you just need to upload the files to SharePoint for archiving then placing them into separate zip files might be an alternative. This is of course only an option if you just need to store the content and do not expect the users to make any changes.

I have written a bit of automated code that checks a SharePoint site and looks for a ZIP file (lets call it doc.zip). If doc.zip is found, it downloads it, and then checks for a file (say target.docx). doc.zip is about 300MB, and so I want to only download where necessary.
What I would like to know is that given SharePoint has some ZIP search capability, is it possible to write code using CSOM (c#) to find doc.zip, and then run some code to retrieve the contents of doc.zip without downloading it.
Just to re-iterate, I am comfortable with searching for files in a folder on SP, downloading the file, and unpacking zip entries. What I need is to retrieve a ZIP files content on SP without downloading it.
E.g. is there a SP command:
cxt.Load(SomeZipFileQuery);
cxt.ExecuteQuery();
Thanks in advance.
This capability is not available. I do like the idea. Having the ability to "parse" zip files on the server side and then download the relevant bits would be ideal. Perhaps raise this on uservoice to see if others also find this us https://sharepoint.uservoice.com
Ok, I have proven yet again that stubbornness will prevail.
I have figured out that if I use the /_api/search?query='myfile.zip' web REST API to search for my file, this search will also match ZIP files that contain the file I need. And it works perfectly.
Of course there is added (pain) of parsing an XML response, but it works very nicely for my code example.
At least if someone is looking for this solution here it is. I wont bore anyone with code, as the /_api/search has probably been done to death already on other threads.
I'm working on Struts2 framework. I need to upload an excel file to the buffer so that I can extract its informations and print them into a table in a jsp page. I followed this tutorial : http://www.roseindia.net/struts/struts2/struts-2-file-upload.shtml , and so I could upload any type of file. My question is then : how can restrict the type into .xls and .xlsx ? and how can I get the content of the rows existing in the excel file? I read somewhere that i can use the Apache POI API ... but I couldn't get much how to do. Thank you.
Have you seen the Struts 2 File Upload Tutorial ?
It shows how to restrict to certain mime types.
You need the mime types described here for excel.
There is an opensource library called jxl. After you haveuploaded your file to your server you can read it in and iterate through ght rows. Its very easy to do.
