How to add list from text file to embed? - embedding

Hi I'm trying to embed some content from a .txt file as a list in to an embed however I'm having an issue to display it as a list on the command !changelog .
I get this error:
raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: BAD REQUEST (status code: 400): Invalid Form Body
Here is what I have got so far:
#commands.command(invoke_without_command=True, case_insensitive=True)
#checks.is_channel_mod()
async def changelog(self, ctx):
changelog = open("changelog.txt").readlines()
embed = discord.Embed(description=changelog, colour=discord.Color(random.randint(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF)))
embed.title = "Changelog"
embed.set_image(url='')
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
Your help would be appreciated.

Join the list with newlines:
embed = discord.Embed(description='\n'.join(changelog),
colour=discord.Color(random.randint(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF))
title='Changelog')
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
or just use read instead of readlines
with open("changelog.txt") as f:
changelog = f.read()
embed = discord.Embed(description=changelog,
colour=discord.Color(random.randint(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF))
title='Changelog')
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

How to parse EDIfact file containing multiple items using EDI.Net?

I am using EDI.Net from indice-co and i have a EDI file that contains multiple items, when i use the EdiGrammer.NewEdiFact and read the file using stream and deserialize it I get only 1 item from the file, the top most; how do i read the file using stream and deserialize it to a list?
Code Example:
var editFactParser = EdiGrammar.NewEdiFact();
var interchange = default(EdiModel.Interchange);
using (
var stream = File.Open("E:\\SomePath\\20191121020103.00000091.EDI", FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read))
{
interchange = new EdiSerializer().Deserialize<EdiModel.Interchange>(new StreamReader(stream),
editFactParser );
}

Thank you.

Open a libreoffice mail merged textdocument directly with swriter

I need help with opening the result of my mail merge operations directly in an new writer document.
Object mailMergeService = mcf.createInstanceWithContext(mailMergePackage, context);
XPropertySet mmProperties = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, mailMergeService);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("DocumentURL", templatePath);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("DataSourceName", dbName);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("CommandType", mmCommandType);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("Command", mmCommand);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("OutputType", mmOutputType);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("OutputURL", templateDirectory);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("FileNamePrefix", mmFileNamePrefix);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("SaveAsSingleFile", mmSaveAsSingleFile);
The mmOutputType is set as MailMergeType.SHELL
The LibreOffice API documentation says
"The output is a document shell.
The successful mail marge returns a XTextDocument based component."
So I've tried something like this
XJob job = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XJob.class, mailMergeService);
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
String url = "private:factory/swriter";
loader.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
XTextCursor cursor = mergedText.getText().createTextCursor();
cursor.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
I guess I have to pass the XTextDocument component to the url-argument of the loadComponentFromURL method but I didnt find the right way to do that.
When I change the OutputType to MailMergeType.FILE the result is generated in a given directory and I can open the file and see that the mail merge succeeded. But this is not what my application should do.
Does someone know how I can open the result of the mail merge directly in an new writer document without saving the result to the hard drive?

Hey guys I've found a simple way to open the result of my mail merge process directly.
The relevant snippets are these
XJob job = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XJob.class, mailMergeService);
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
mergedText.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindow().setVisible(true);
The last line of code made the window appear with the filled mail merge result.
I also don't need this line anymore
loader.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/swriter", "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
The document opens as a new instance of a swriter document. If you want to save the result as a file you can do this
mergedText.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindow().setVisible(true);
XStorable storeMM = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class, mergedText);
XModel modelMM = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class, mergedText);
storeMM.storeAsURL(outputDirectory + outputFilename, modelMM.getArgs());
Sincerly

What version of LO are you using? The SHELL constant has only been around since LO 4.4, and it is not supported by Apache OpenOffice yet, so it could be that it isn't fully implemented. However this code seems to show a working test.
If it is returning an XTextDocument, then normally I would assume the component is already open. However it sounds like you are not seeing a Writer window appear. Did you start LO in headless mode? If not, then maybe the process needs a few seconds before it can display.
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
Thread.sleep(10000);
Anyway to me it looks like your code has a mistake in it. These two lines would simply insert the text onto itself:
XTextCursor cursor = mergedText.getText().createTextCursor();
cursor.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
Probably you intended to write something like this instead:
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
String url = "private:factory/swriter";
XComponent xComponent = loader.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
XTextDocument xTextDocument = (XTextDocument)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, xComponent);
XText xText = (XText)xTextDocument.getText();
XTextRange xTextRange = xText.getEnd();
xTextRange.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
One more thought: getString() might just return an empty string if the entire document is in a table. If that is the case then you could use the view cursor or enumerate text content.
EDIT:
To preserve formatting including tables, you can do something like this (adapted from https://blog.oio.de/2010/10/27/copy-and-paste-without-clipboard-using-openoffice-org-api/):
// Select all.
XController xMergedTextController = mergedText.getCurrentController();
XTextViewCursorSupplier supTextViewCursor =
(XTextViewCursorSupplier) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextViewCursorSupplier.class, xMergedTextController);
XTextViewCursor oVC = supTextViewCursor.getViewCursor();
oVC.gotoStart(False) // This would not work if your document began with a table.
oVC.gotoEnd(True)
// Copy and paste.
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTransferableSupplier.class, xMergedTextController);
XTransferable transferable = xTransferableSupplier.getTransferable();
XController xController = xComponent.getCurrentController();
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier_newDoc = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTransferableSupplier.class, xController);
xTransferableSupplier_newDoc.insertTransferable(transferable);

pdf.js to display output of file created with tcpdf

I really hope you will be able to help me out on this one.
I am new to pdf.js so for the moment, I am playing around with the pre-built version to see if I can integrate this into my web app.
My problem:
I am using tcpdf to generate a pdf file which I would like to visualize using pdf.js without having to save it to a file on the server.
I have a php file (generate_document.php) that I use to generate the pdf. The file ends with the following:
$pdf->Output('test.pdf', 'I');
according to the tcpdf documentation, the second parameter can be used to generate the following formats:
I: send the file inline to the browser (default). The plug-in is used if available. The name given by name is used when one selects the "Save as" option on the link generating the PDF.
D: send to the browser and force a file download with the name given by name.
F: save to a local server file with the name given by name.
S: return the document as a string (name is ignored).
FI: equivalent to F + I option
FD: equivalent to F + D option
E: return the document as base64 mime multi-part email attachment (RFC 2045)
Then, I would like to view the pdf using pdf.js without creating a file on the server (= not using 'F' as a second parameter and passing the file name to pdf.js).
So, I thought I could simply create an iframe and call the pdf.js viewer pointing to the php file:
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="/pdf.js_folder/web/viewer.html?file=get_document.php"></iframe>
However, this is not working at all....do you have any idea what I am overlooking? Or is this option not available in pdf.js?
I have done some research and I have seen some posts here on converting a base64 stream to a typed array but I do not see how this would be a solution to this problem.
Many thanks for your help!!!
EDIT
#async, thanks for your anwer.
I got it figured out in the meantime, so I thought I'd share my solution with you guys.
1) In my get_document.php, I changed the output statement to convert it directly to base64 using
$pdf_output = base64_encode($pdf->Output('test_file.pdf', 'S'));
2) In viewer.js, I use an XHR to call the get_document.php and put the return in a variable (pdf_from_XHR)
3) Next, I convert what came in from the XHR request using the solution that was already mentioned in a few other posts (e.g. Pdf.js and viewer.js. Pass a stream or blob to the viewer)
pdf_converted = convertDataURIToBinary(pdf_from_XHR)
function convertDataURIToBinary(dataURI) {
var base64Index = dataURI.indexOf(BASE64_MARKER) + BASE64_MARKER.length;
var base64 = dataURI.substring(base64Index);
var raw = window.atob(base64);
var rawLength = raw.length;
var array = new Uint8Array(new ArrayBuffer(rawLength));
for (i = 0; i < rawLength; i++) {
array[i] = raw.charCodeAt(i);
}
return array;
}
et voilĂ  ;-)
Now i can inject what is coming from that function into the getDocument statement:
PDFJS.getDocument(pdf_converted).then(function (pdf) {
pdfDocument = pdf;
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
PDFView.load(pdfDocument, 1.5)
})

Set view content directly instead of using a template

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to set the content of a view without using a template in Zend Framework 2. I have users creating emails in ckeditor, storing in text files, then grabbing the file contents and trying to produce a pdf for printing. Here's what is going on in the controller:
$emails = $this -> email() -> getEmails();
//Render the display
$viewRender = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('ViewRenderer');
$view->setTemplate('module/controller/template.phtml');
$html = $viewRender->render($view);
//Create the HTML to PDF class instance & set the bin path
$wkpdf = new WkHtmlToPdf(array('bin'=>'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\wkhtmltopdf\\wkhtmltopdf'));
//Add it to the PDF
$wkpdf->addPage($html);
//Send it to the client
$wkpdf->send();
I want to replace the setTemplate() method with something that will directly set the view's content with the html string I have retrieved from the email files. Any thoughts?
This is what I came up with:
$emails = $this -> email() -> getEmails();
$email = $emails->$email_name;
//Create the HTML to PDF class instance & set the bin path
$wkpdf = new \WkHtmlToPdf(array('bin'=>$this->settings()->getSettings()->wkhtmltopdf_path));
//Add the email to the PDF
$wkpdf->addPage("<html>".$email."</html>");
//Send it to the client
$wkpdf->send();
All I needed to do was wrap the string with html tags for WkHtmlToPdf to process it.
In your action, before returning content to your view file,
$result = new ViewModel(array('view_contant_variable' => $content_to_assign));
$result->setTerminal(true);
return $result;
I hope this, may help to you to display your view file without template contents.

Create and download word file from template in MVC

I have kept a word document (.docx) in one of the project folders which I want to use as a template.
This template contains custom header and footer lines for user. I want to facilitate user to download his own data in word format. For this, I want to write a function which will accept user data and referring the template it will create a new word file replacing the place-holders in the template and then return the new file for download (without saving it to server). That means the template needs to be intact as template.
Following is what I am trying. I was able to replace the placeholder. However, I am not aware of how to give the created content as downloadable file to user. I do not want to save the new content again in the server as another word file.
public void GenerateWord(string userData)
{
string templateDoc = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Template.docx");
// Open the new Package
Package pkg = Package.Open(templateDoc, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
// Specify the URI of the part to be read
Uri uri = new Uri("/word/document.xml", UriKind.Relative);
PackagePart part = pkg.GetPart(uri);
XmlDocument xmlMainXMLDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlMainXMLDoc.Load(part.GetStream(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
xmlMainXMLDoc.InnerXml = ReplacePlaceHoldersInTemplate(userData, xmlMainXMLDoc.InnerXml);
// Open the stream to write document
StreamWriter partWrt = new StreamWriter(part.GetStream(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write));
xmlMainXMLDoc.Save(partWrt);
partWrt.Flush();
partWrt.Close();
pkg.Close();
}
private string ReplacePlaceHoldersInTemplate(string toReplace, string templateBody)
{
templateBody = templateBody.Replace("#myPlaceHolder#", toReplace);
return templateBody;
}
I believe that the below line is saving the contents in the template file itself, which I don't want.
xmlMainXMLDoc.Save(partWrt);
How should I modify this code which can return the new content as downloadable word file to user?
I found the solution Here!
This code allows me to read the template file and modify it as I want and then to send response as downloadable attachment.
