The file is also locked with winzip and I cant remember the name or directory, I hid it in a very obscure directory. Could be in the windows system files could be in a program directory file. I did a search for all .CSV files I have 4-5K to go through. Any suggestions on how this could be done?
I was opening up files in batches by highlighting a bunch that pressing edit with notepad plus plus. Than going through each one. I know once the file is opened in notepad plus it will not show any words. It is pictures. I own an eCommerce site and I have my master copies that I bought $X,XXX and did not want to take any chances in them be found and resold by other people on my network. Any suggestions?
Opening any zip file in a hex editor suggests that every zip file starts with a data of PK. We can use it in our favour. :)
Download this software: EditPad Pro
What this software does is, it recurses through the whole filesystem starting from a specified base folder to search for any string residing in any of the child files, they maybe Text or Binary, it treats them the same, thus giving accurate results.
In our case, it's a regex: ^PK
When you'll execute this search, the software will return all the files that start with data PK, make sure you do a casesensitive search.

Disclaimer: I'm new to using Rumba to access IBM Mainframe.
I have currently set up a library for personal use and I have some code that I want to store in a member of this library, how can I copy/paste from a .txt file on my desktop into this program??? As of right now I can successfully copy/paste one line at a time from documents outside of Rumba.
There are various ways. The best one will depend upon the size of the file/amount of data to be transferred.
If it's only a few lines, block copy and paste should work, but you might have to play with Rumba's 'paste' edit settings such as how to handle new lines, etc.
Bigger files can be transferred with the TSO file transfer program ind£file (maybe ind$file on your system) which essentially copies a file to the screen and then Rumba 'scrapes' the screen for data to put into a file (this is for a mainframe-to-PC transfer; for going the other way the operation is reversed). This can be surprisingly quick.
Lastly there's FTP - either from the command line or via a program such as WinSCP.
Edit:
Based on your comment that the files are about 300 lines long, I'd look into using Rumba's file-transfer option using the ind$file utility. Once you have the files on one system, speak to your mainframe tech support team about the best way to get them to the other systems.
If you need help uploading the files, then the tech support team should be your first point of call.
What mainframe editor are you running? TSO/ISPF?
I copy and and paste from ".txt" files into ISPS all the time with no problem.
Select the text you want to copy (in the ".txt" file)
Press CTRL-C
Open the mainframe file using ISPF Edit (option 2).
Enter line command "Inn" at the line where where you want the copy to start.
(This inserts "nn" empty lines to receive the copied data. Personally, I usually use "nn"=20)
Position your cursor at the first character of the first empty line.
Press CTRL-V
I get a report from the companies servers (of which I have no control) in the form of grep txt dumps. I need to process them to get the info in a sane manner, which I use excel, and it works great.
Problem is, sometimes there are a few txt files that are broken, and cannot be processed with excel. Funny thing is, if I open them in notepad or something, copy all the data, create a new txt file, paste it all and there and process the new file, it works perfectly. Another curious thing is that when I do this, the new file which works, is a few kb's larger than the "broken" original.
My question is, is there a program, script or macro that I could use to
Open the text files in a folder
Copy the text of a file
Paste it in a new text file
Save that file with the same name as the original, in a different
folder
Rinse and repeat for each file in a folder
Any idea is a great help, I have thousands of files to sift through each month, and it really is quite a pain.
Turns out the files were in Unix format rather than windows one. I ran todos.exe and it fixed my problems.
Good day,
I am a CNC program not a computer programer. I am using CAM software to make cutting programs for our CNC router. The router is a bit old and can only take files 200-300 kb big. We are doing carvings that require 1-2 megs text files. I am using a program called GSplit ( http://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/ ) to divvy up the text file. It generates 10-25+ files with a custom header that our machine can read. All the files are great and it works, but I have to manually add the closing lines/footer to each file. The files that are created and used are normal .txt files but with a specific extension, .ANC.
Is there any way to automate this process of opening each individual file, scrolling to the end and copy/pasting the same 1-2 lines of code? The files are NAME[number].ANC in a contained folder. Would it be possible to just direct to a folder and say "add this 'text' to every file in this folder"?
Thanks for your time.
What OS are you using? Using Unix you can do a simple script on command line. If you are in the directory with the specific files simply execute:
for file in *; do echo "APPEND THIS" >> $file; done
If you are running Windows you should be able to do the same using cygwin (probably you could also use the power shell, but I don't know anything about the that)
I found a program Notepad++ (apparently the last person to find it...). USed the find/replace files option. A regular expression(note sure exactly what these are but I'm sure you guys do) "\s+\z" as to what to look for. It finds the last space or whatever at the end of all the files and then adds the code I need. Easy, free, and I don't need to write any computer code. Thanks for the attempt to help me Dirkk! :)
Can anyone help with the following :
How to measure the sizes of the different files inside an .xlsx file while it is open for write in my excel?
As you already noted with your [zip] tag, .xlsx is actually a zip file. Therefore, even if the file is opened you still access it read-only and get the information you want.
I usually use the great Total Commander (the shareware is fully functional): navigate to the file and press Ctrl-Shift-ArrowUp and in the opposite window a new tab will open. In this tab, you can browse the .xlsx (or any other MS Office ZIP for that matter) as a normal folder, i.e. seeing it contents/file sizes/etc.
Is there a tool to convert a large number of excel files into tab delimted files automatically?
I just through this together, its not pretty but should do what you need. Tested on WindowsXP / Office2007.
download from: http://stembro.byethost17.com/utility_scripts/xl2tab/xl2tab.html
Extract the xl2tab.vbs file to the directory containing the excel files and double-click to run. It will place the converted files into a new directory called "output." The original directory-structure remains intact within the output folder.
I don't think there are any good free tools to do so right now, but you could look into using the Open Office API to write something,
[http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=7657&highlight=convert+xls+csv+command+line][1]
Or for a quick and dirty solution, you could record and Open Office Calc macro that would do it, and launch that macro from the command line.

convert to csv, and maybe replace , with tabs?
