how to fetch a data from one file location and to run using tcl code - testing

In tcl how to get the data from one file location and to run that data using TCL code .
for example
In the folder 1 there is config file ,i want to get the informations of config file and i want to execute the information that is present or not,

If the configuration file contains Tcl code, it's just:
# Put the filename in quotes if you want, or in a variable, or ...
source /the/path/to/the/file.tcl
If the file contains Tcl code but you don't trust it, you can use a “safe interpreter” context. This disables many commands, giving a much more restricted set of capabilities that you can then add specific exceptions to (with interp alias):
# Make the context
set i [interp create -safe]
# Set up a way for the context to let the master find out about what to
# really set
interp alias $i configure {} recordConfiguration
proc recordConfiguration args {
puts "configured with $args"
}
# Evaluate the script (note that [source] is hidden by default) in the context
$i invokehidden source /the/path/to/the/file.tcl
# Dispose the context
interp delete $i
If the file isn't Tcl code, you have to parse it. That's a substantially more complex matter, so much so that we'll need to know the format of the file before we can answer.

If you are trying to read data (like text strings) from a file then you'll have to open a channel for that particular file like this:
set fileid [open "path/to/your/file.txt" r]
Read open manual page.
Then you can use gets command to read data from the file through the channel fileid .

Check if Windows batch variable starts with a specific string

How can I find out (with Windows a batch command), if, for example, a variable starts with ABC?
I know that I can search for variables if I know the whole content (if "%variable%"=="abc"), but I want that it only looks after the beginning.
I also need it to find out where the batch file is located, so if there is a other command that reveals the file's location, please let me know.
Use the variable substring syntax:
IF "%variable:~0,3%"=="ABC" [...]
If you need the path to the batch file without the batch file name, you can use the variable:
%~dp0
Syntax for this is explained in the help for the for command, although this variable syntax extends beyond just the for command syntax.
to find batch file location use %0 (gives full patch to current batch file) or %CD% variable which gives local directory

Using a variable in a batch script for SQLLDR

Hi i am trying to set a variable in my .bat file and i want to use the variable in sqlldr code to state the file (infile)
This is what i have in my bat file for the variable:
set directroy_name= D:\Folder\Folder\Folder\File.csv
Then in my command file i have
load data
infile '%directory_name%'
When ever i try to run the .bat file from the command prompt i just receive the SQL_Loader_500: unable to ope file (%directory_name%.dat
I know the files in the correct location?
any ideas why its doing this?
No, you can't do that - you're expecting the Oracle executable to understand Windows environment variable syntax. If it did that it would have to deal with $ variables in Unix, etc.
You can just pass the file name on the command line instead. In your control file omit the INFILE altogether, then when you call SQL*Loader add a a DATA command-line argument:
sqlldr user/password CONTROL=your.ctl DATA=%directory_name% ...
Assuming your variable is just oddly named and does have a full file path as you've shown.
If it's present, the INFILE argument will be overridden by the command-line argument, so you could include a default fixed value if you wanted to, I suppose.
You also appear to have a typo; you set directroy_name, but then use directory_name, which will have no value. You need to change that to:
set directory_name= D:\Folder\Folder\Folder\File.csv

In Lua, how to print the console output into a file (piping) instead of using the standard output?

I workin' with Torch7 and Lua programming languages. I need a command that redirects the output of my console to a file, instead of printing it into my shell.
For example, in Linux, when you type:
$ ls > dir.txt
The system will print the output of the command "ls" to the file dir.txt, instead of printing it to the default output console.
I need a similar command for Lua. Does anyone know it?
[EDIT] An user suggests to me that this operation is called piping. So, the question should be: "How to make piping in Lua?"
[EDIT2] I would use this # command to do:
$ torch 'my_program' # printed_output.txt
Have a look here -> http://www.lua.org/pil/21.1.html
io.write seems to be what you are looking for.
Lua has no default function to create a file from the console output.
If your applications logs its output -which you're probably trying to do-, it will only be possible to do this by modifying the Lua C++ source code.
If your internal system has access to the output of the console, you could do something similar to this (and set it on a timer, so it runs every 25ms or so):
dumpoutput = function()
local file = io.write([path to file dump here], "w+")
for i, line in ipairs ([console output function]) do
file:write("\n"..line);
end
end
Note that the console output function has to store the output of the console in a table.
To clear the console at the end, just do os.execute( "cls" ).

How to force STORE (overwrite) to HDFS in Pig?

When developing Pig scripts that use the STORE command I have to delete the output directory for every run or the script stops and offers:
2012-06-19 19:22:49,680 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 6000: Output Location Validation Failed for: 'hdfs://[server]/user/[user]/foo/bar More info to follow:
Output directory hdfs://[server]/user/[user]/foo/bar already exists
So I'm searching for an in-Pig solution to automatically remove the directory, also one that doesn't choke if the directory is non-existent at call time.
In the Pig Latin Reference I found the shell command invoker fs. Unfortunately the Pig script breaks whenever anything produces an error. So I can't use
fs -rmr foo/bar
(i. e. remove recursively) since it breaks if the directory doesn't exist. For a moment I thought I may use
fs -test -e foo/bar
which is a test and shouldn't break or so I thought. However, Pig again interpretes test's return code on a non-existing directory as a failure code and breaks.
There is a JIRA ticket for the Pig project addressing my problem and suggesting an optional parameter OVERWRITE or FORCE_WRITE for the STORE command. Anyway, I'm using Pig 0.8.1 out of necessity and there is no such parameter.
At last I found a solution on grokbase. Since finding the solution took too long I will reproduce it here and add to it.
Suppose you want to store your output using the statement
STORE Relation INTO 'foo/bar';
Then, in order to delete the directory, you can call at the start of the script
rmf foo/bar
No ";" or quotations required since it is a shell command.
I cannot reproduce it now but at some point in time I got an error message (something about missing files) where I can only assume that rmf interfered with map/reduce. So I recommend putting the call before any relation declaration. After SETs, REGISTERs and defaults should be fine.
Example:
SET mapred.fairscheduler.pool 'inhouse';
REGISTER /usr/lib/pig/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar;
%default name 'foobar'
rmf foo/bar
Rel = LOAD 'something.tsv';
STORE Rel INTO 'foo/bar';
Once you use the fs command, there a lot of ways to do this. For an individual file, I wound up adding this to the beginning of my scripts:
-- Delete file (won't work for output, which will be a directory
-- but will work for a file that gets copied or moved during the
-- the script.)
fs -touchz top_100
rm top_100
For a directory
-- Delete dir
fs -rm -r out

batch scripting: how to get parent dir name without full path?

I'm working on a script that processes a folder and there is always one file in it I need to rename. The new name should be the parent directory name. How do I get this in a batch file? The full path to the dir is known.
It is not very clear how the script is supposed to become acquainted with the path in question, but the following example should at least give you an idea of how to proceed:
FOR %%D IN ("%CD%") DO SET "DirName=%%~nxD"
ECHO %DirName%
This script gets the path from the CD variable and extracts the name only from it to DirName.
You can use basename command:
FULLPATH=/the/full/path/is/known
JUSTTHENAME=$(basename "$FULLPATH")
You can use built-in bash tricks:
FULLPATH=/the/full/path/is/known
JUSTTHENAME=${FULLPATH##*/}
Explanations:
first # means 'remove the pattern from the begining'
second # means 'remove the longer possible pattern'
*/ is the pattern
Using built-in bash avoid to call an external command (i.e. basename) therefore this optimises you script. However the script is less portable.
