Mass extract part of a text file using Windows batch - batch-processing

I have thousands of txt files that are actually in JSON format.
Each file has the same string, with different values, namely:
"Name":"xxx","Email":"yyy#zzz.com"
I want to extract the values of these two strings from all the txt files that I put in the same folder.
I've found these lines of code:
Extract part of a text file using Windows batch
but it only applies to one txt file. Whereas what I need is, it can execute all files in one folder.

You can use the FORFILES command, to loop through each file,
Syntax
FORFILES [/p Path] [/m SrchMask] [/s] [/c Command] [/d [+ | -] {date | dd}]

Get file name from SAP Data service

I'm unable to read file name from data services which contain date_time format, I can read date but time can be variable, I've tried with *.csv on file name(s) property for flat file, but this for static file name.
Example: File_20180520_200003.csv, File_20180519_192503.csv, etc.
My script:
$Filename= 'File_'|| to_char(sysdate()-1, 'YYYYMMDD')|| '_'|| '*.csv';
I want to find a solution to read the 6 digits (any number) *.
Finally, I've found a solution by using
$Csv = word(exec('cmd','dir /b [$Filename]*.csv',8),2) ;
on the flat file (file name property), I've added $Csv
It works fine.

Sejda merging PDFs from CSV filelist names

I recently installed sedja-console for merging pdf files from command line.
The names of the input pdf files are in a CSV file named filelist-inputs.csv like this:
./Temp/source/046032.pdf,./Temp/source/048155.pdf
./Temp/source/049278.pdf,./Temp/source/050818.pdf,./Temp/source/052962.pdf
./Temp/source/052962.pdf,./Temp/source/054117.pdf
I need one output pdf file for the first line of the CSV filelist names, other output pdf file for the second line of the second line, other output for the third line, and so...
I tried a command line like this:
~$ sejda-console merge -l filelist-inputs.csv -o ./Temp/target/merged[FILENUMBER####].pdf
But it only creates a unique file named literally merged[FILENUMBER####].pdf, when I want 3 files:
merged0001.pdf
merged0002.pdf
merged0003.pdf
I've simplified the problem, because I need to merge more than 3500 pdf files in 700 output files.
Sejda takes all the values in the CSV and generates a single merged PDF, there isn't any option or setting in Sejda to achieve what you asked, you will need some scripting to loop through the CSV lines, create a CSV per line and feed it to Sejda.
The output file name merged[FILENUMBER####].pdf is literally used because the PDF merge task generates one output file and it expects an explicit output file name. Prefixes like [CURRENTPAGE] or [FILENUMBER] are valid when used as -p argument in tasks generating multiple output PDF files (split tasks etc).

Upload csv files with comma inside it

As per my requirement, I need to upload a .csv file into the application. I am trying to simulate this using loadrunner. The issue I am encoutering is that my csv file is in the below format
Header - AA,BB,CC
Data-xyz,"yyx,zzy",xxz
On using the below statement to upload the file, I am getting an error ""line 2 contains 4 columns instead of 3"
web_submit_data("upload",
"Action=xxx/upload",
"Method=POST",
"EncType=multipart/form-data",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=xxx",
"Snapshot=t86.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
ITEMDATA,
"Name=utf8", "Value=✓", ENDITEM,
"Name=token", "Value={token_1}", ENDITEM,
"Name=upload_file", "Value={NewParam_5}", "File=yes", "ContentType=text/csv", ENDITEM,
"Name=Button1", "Value=Upload", ENDITEM,
LAST);
AS per information provided in How to deal with a string with comma in it from a csv, when we have to read the data by using loadrunner? ,
I tried updating the .prm file to a new delimiter pipe, | but still i get the error.
[parameter:NewParam_5]
Delimiter="|"
ParamName="NewParam_5"
TableLocation="C:\temp"
ColumnName="Col 1"
I also notice that even though I set the delimiter to pipe, if I rightclick on the web_submit_data() and go to Parameter properties, i see a column delimiter option there as well and it is not set to pipe and is set to comma which indicates that this setting is taking higher precedence to the setting in .prm file.
Can someone please guide me the right way to set a new delimiter so that vugen recognizes and parses the csv file as I want it to.
I am using loadrunner 12.5
Thanks for your help.
Do you need to upload a file or a line of comma separated variables? Right now you appear to be reading a line of CSV variables, not a file as your parameter file would contain a list of filenames or a single file reference within the directory of the virtual user (extra files, transferred with the use) or created by the virtual user and then uploaded.

Regexpression for getting a file

I have to get a file through PDI based on the filename and i want to select file with name matching pattern eligible_for_push which has to be at the end.The file can be .txt or .csv
Please Help
Thanks
There are two part to your query:
1. Finding all files ending with "eligible_for_push":
You cannot use regex to find this sort of pattern (at least i am not aware of). So as an alternate do the following:
Search all the files in the path using "Get Filename" steps. Use modified Javascript to find out the file ending with the above pattern. Check the JS file below.
2. Files can be ".txt" or ".csv":
You can use the below regex/wildcard to find choose between either .txt or .csv
.*\.txt|.*\.csv
Note : Use this code once you have filtered out the files ending with "eligible_for_push". The above JS ignore all the file patterns. After that use the second step to sort out all the .txt or .csv files.
Hope it helps :)

Windows Batch File - Using Append with File Name that has spaces

I am creating a batch file to consolidate some hard coded text with a few of other existing text files.
for this I am using the below.
set "txtFile=.\text.txt"
call:Append "C:\test 123\test.txt" %textFile%
over here, when I execute it, it thros an error as it is not able to proceed with the path as it has spaces.
how should this be addressed.
I have no idea what your append batch file is doing, but you can simply use copy to concatenate two files.
It's not clear to me what the needs to be appended to what, but the following will append the contents of text.txt to C:\test 123\test.txt by writing everything to C:\test 123\test.txt.
set txtFile=.\text.txt
copy "C:\test 123\test.txt" /a + %txtFile% /a "C:\test 123\test.txt"
If you want a different output file, just change the last parameter.
Btw: it's better to not rely on a specific working directory
The following:
set txtFile=%~dp0text.txt
makes sure that the text.txt is used that is in the same directory as your batch file.
