Read ascii file

[phabio]

Hi all,
I'm tryng to read a ascii file from rsp page in javascript.

I'm not a javascript developer... just copy and paste.. :-)

I've find this funzction:

function readText(files){

	if(files){
		window.alert(files);
		var reader = new FileReader();
		reader.onload = function (e) {  
			var output=e.target.result;
					
			window.alert(output);
			
			var divTabella = document.getElementById("DivTabella");
			divTabella.innerHTML = output;
		
		};
		
		
		reader.readAsText(files);
	}
};

but if I call:
readText('../../library/file.html');

not work..

I've put the file in c:\lianja\library folder...

thank a lot
Fabio

You seem to misunderstand how a Webview works.

A Webview section in a desktop app is not connected to an http server.

You need to look at the Lianja system object and see what methods you can use to read text files in a desktop app.

Attempting to use a FileReader is only valid in a web browser client not a desktop app with an embedded Webview.

The desktop client has a web server running internally in port 8002. Go back and read the release notes for v2.0 where this is described.

Hi Barry,
thank for the reponse.
I've read the Josip post:
http://www.lianja.com/community/show...rs-Web-service

Your service may return a JSON encoded object (as shown above), an XML string, an HTML string or plain text.
If the result returned starts with "file:" then the file specified e.g. "file:mytempfile.txt" is read and the result is sent back to the client. This provides the ability to query large amounts of information not limited by internal string length.
If the result returned starts with "tempfile:" then the file specified e.g. "tempfile:mytempfile.txt" is read and the result is sent back to the client. The file mytempfile.txt is then deleted.

but I do not understand how use
result = getURL("http://localhost:8002/desktopwebservice/dws_getinfo?xxxxxxxxxxx")

to retrive a file..

I am very ignorant as to the web ..

can you help me?

from js I call a VFP function to write a file, then I need to read from the js caller..

thanks
Fabio
thanks

In which folder I've to put dws_getinfo.prg library?

thanks
Fabio

It is all described in the links.
http://www.lianja.com/community/show...rs-Web-service

Read that first...

[phabio]

It is what I reported myself, and I'm trying to put in place ..

If the result returned starts with "file:" then the file specified e.g. "file:mytempfile.txt" is read and the result is sent back to the client. This provides the ability to query large amounts of information not limited by internal string length.
If the result returned starts with "tempfile:" then the file specified e.g. "tempfile:mytempfile.txt" is read and the result is sent back to the client. The file mytempfile.txt is then deleted.

and I'm trying to implement this .. but without examples is not simple ..

function readText()
{
	window.alert("ReadText");
	result = Lianja.getUrl("http://localhost:8002/desktopwebservice/dws_getResultSearchTable");
	
	window.alert(result);
	var divTabella = document.getElementById("DivTabella");
	divTabella.innerHTML = result;
	
};

but not work...


in which folder I need to write getResultSearchTable.prg file?

thanks
Fabio

[phabio]

this my last rsp function:

function readText()
{
	window.alert("ReadText");
	result = Lianja.getUrl("http://localhost:8002/desktopwebservice/dws_getResultSearchTable");
	
	window.alert(result);
	
	var divTabella = document.getElementById("DivTabella");
	divTabella.innerHTML = result;
	
};

and the getResultSearchTable.prg

return "file:file.html"

getResultSearchTable.prg and file.html exists in Library folder, byt the "result" is every empty..

thanks
for any suggestion
Fabio

[phabio]

is there anything you do not understand ...
I also tried it from the command line:

? getUrl("http://localhost:8002/desktopwebservice/dws_getResultSearchTable")

dws_getResultSearchTable the script exists, and inside there is only:

? "Dws_getResultSearchTable"
return "file: file.html"

If command line write:
? dws_getResultSearchTable ()

it works

if I write:
a = getUrl("http://localhost:8002/desktopwebservice/dws_getResultSearchTable")
? a

No..

thanks for suggestion
desperately, Fabio

[barrymavin]

You should not return it as a string you should output the string using

?? "file:...."

[phabio]

No...
I've changed my dws_getResultSearchTable() prg to:
?? "file:file.html"

but not work..

the folder for this prg is:
c:\lianja\library
or
C:\lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\wwwroot\libra ry
or C:\lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\library ?

note:
the prg is not auto compiled..
to have the .dbo files I need to run from command line:
? dws_getResultSearchTable()
