What does <a:theme> mean in OpenXML? - openxml-sdk

I'm try to understand OpenXML spreadsheet inner file content.
IN some file I found this string . Other tags has same prefix.
Also tags may have prefixes p: w: etc.
Can you help me undestend the meaning of these prefixes in tags?

You can search for each tag and the full specification of Open XML at DII or download the PDF from the ISO site to read offline. All of these tags have a specific meaning in the construction of one or more formats for Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007/2010 documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
The one that you mentioned above, <a:theme> is the parent tag for the construction of different templated looks/feel documents, such as their fonts, font sizes, color schemas, etc. See here for a description.
If you're looking to get a little more familiar with the standard, there is a great eBook that can be downloaded and read: Open XML Markup Explained.

Apache Nutch title parsing issue for Language specific websites

I have configured apache Nutch 2.3.1 with Hadoop 2.7.5 and Hbase 0.98. I have to crawl some Urdu websites. I am using its default parsers i.e., html, tika. Some documents have title in Urdu that are ok but some documents have title in Urdu and their heading 1 i.e., h1 have the original title e.g. bbc-page. Similarly, there are some cases where meta tags have relvement title. Is there any builtin option (parser) that can handle this option so that it should select h1 for title if available.
Or if I have to do it, what are possible ways for this purpose.
Nutch will use the title tag if present found in the DOM tree (https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/bb2a7adddbc5c780151bb9957d68af52be7339ca/src/plugin/parse-tika/src/java/org/apache/nutch/parse/tika/DOMContentUtils.java#L251) for this you would need to write a custom logic in a parser plugin. But the real question would be how would you identify the "bad" title tag? Would be some specific content (like the URL).
In any case, you'll need to write your own plugin either in the parser or in an indexing plugin (like taking a field and copying it over to the title field in certain conditions).

RTF file to TXT/CSV file in objective-c?

I have RTF files containing that sort of content:
long_text_description_1 number1a number1b number1c
long_text_description_2 number2a number2b number2c
long_text_description_3 number3c
long_text_description_4 number4a number4b number4c
…
I need to extract the plain raw text without the colours, fonts and other formatting thing.
The only thing I need to keep are the most basic row/column information, ideally I would like a CSV file.
The file I get contain all the formatting:
{\cs18\lang1033\langfe1033\f0\b\i0\ul0\strike0\scaps0\fs15\afs15\charscalex100\expndtw0\cf1\dn0 number1a}
What is the best way to remove all rtf information while only keeping the row information?
Trying to figure out myself many many regular expressions sound dangerous unless there is a complete understanding of the RTF format.
What I could find on the Internet mostly focused on using Windows languages & libraries unavailable in iOS.
All rtf tags are in the form \xxx.
Try using a regular expression like "\\S+" and remove all matches or replace with nothing.
For your example, you'll end up with { number1a} This will remove any backslash followed by any characters.

CSV file with Italic values

Is there any way to create a csv file using c#, which can have/show few values in Italic format, when we open it in excel.
Its just not possible. Theres no markup in csv. Either export an xls(x) or rethink your problem/solution. Why csv? It's not really meant for people to read. Only to transfer data from one application to another.
A CSV file is a text file where Excel can only interpret the type of field content as best (text, numeric, date) but not within a field. So the short answer is no.
There are libraries available for the ASP.NET MVC environment which allow you to create true Excel files so you then have complete control over field formats etc. A quick Google will find these.
UPDATE
A possible solution, if you are using MVC, is to create an HTML 'file' and then download that:
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "Employees.xls");
this.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
return this.Content(sb.ToString());
I've never tried this but have seen that it might work.

Custom URL format for news in Expression Engine

Our site is migrating from MovableType to ExpressionEngine, and there is one small issue we are having. MT uses a date based URL structure, e.g. www.site.com/2012/03/post-title.html, while EE uses a category based structure, e.g. www.site.com/index.php/news/comments/post-title. The issue is that our MT page used Disqus for comments, and as such comments are tied to a specific URL, meaning that we'd lose all of our comments if we were to migrate. I am wondering if there's a way to change the URL structure in EE to match MT's, thus allowing us to keep the comments. Thanks in advance.
Correction: EE uses a Template Group/Template based structure for URLs, not categories - just to clarify.
You've got a couple of options here.
One is to create an .htaccess rule which internally redirects all requests matching YYYY/MM/ to your EE template which displays your posts (say, /news/entry/). I don't know exactly what those rewrite rules would look like off the top of my head, my mod_rewrite-fu is pretty shallow. But it could definitely work.
Another is to export all of your comments from Disqus via their XML export tool, then do a grep-based find and replace using something like BBEdit, replacing all /YYYY/MM/ strings in that file with /news/entry/; delete all of your existing comments on Disqus; then import your newly-modifed XML file.

what are the other setting need to see a html table into excel sheet format in open office org?

I have generated a html table from my web application and save the table into .xls format(in a single word i am generating a .xls sheet from my web application ).
What other setting I have to show it in table form.
You are not producing an XLS file, you are producing a mal-formed HTML file with a name that ends in .xls.
Indeed, you aren't even doing that since there aren't files on the web (there are streams that may or may not end up in files).
Different versions of Open Office, with different settings, will differ in terms of how they deal with stuff that is wrong. The version on one of the machines you are doing is saying "eh, this isn't XLS, oh! it's HTML with a table, I know what to do", while the other is getting as far as "eh, this isn't XLS, it's a bunch of text with strange less-than and greater-than characters all over the place, what do I do".
What you want to do is to produce an actual stream that Open Office and other spreadsheets can deal with. XLS is possible, but pretty hard. Go for CSV instead.
If your table was going to be:
<table>
<tr>
<th>1 heading</th><th>2 & last heading</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1st cell</td><td>This is the "ultimate" cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
Then it sould become:
"1 heading","2 & last heading"
"1st cell","This is the ""ultimate"" cell"
In otherwords newlines to indicate rows, commas to indicate cells, no HTML encoding, quotes around everything and quotes in your actual content doubled-up. (You don't need to always have quotes on your content, but it's never wrong so that's simpler than working out when you do need them).
Now, make your content type "text/csv".
You are now outputting a CSV stream that can be saved as a CSV file. Your spreadsheet software will have a much better idea about what to do with this (it may still ask about character ecodings on opening, but the preview will show you a spreadsheet of data, not a bunch of HTML source all over the place.
It's not really saving as a .xls file -- it appears to be saving as the HTML, but with a .xls extension. How are you generating the .xls? On the server-side, you can provide a button to generate .xls directly (different methods depending on your server platform -- using perl there is the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module that writes .xls directly, using Java there is JExcel (http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/ and POI (http://poi.apache.org/)), other platforms will have their methods.
Okay Subodh, If you want to generate .xls or .csv files, You can't just change the extension of the file and have it open up correctly in that program.
2 Options you have at this point, both involve creating the file with the data on the server and then sending it to the user to download it.
.csv
CSV files are easier to generate from the server side. In a very basic way you can think of them as regular text files with commas(not necessarily only commas) separating individual cells that can be read by spreadsheet programs. For PHP there is an article Here that explains how to generate CSV files.
.xls
xls files are not as simple as simple to generate as CSV files. On the server-side you will need a solution to generate these. For PHP there is a resource Here.
Using xls over CSV has obvious advantage that you can specify formatting and can control visual representation of your data.
Edit :
Upon closely looking at the image you posted, I can see what you are trying to do. If you just want to get that file to open correctly in a spreadsheet program, then don't save it either as CSV or xls
hello.html
<table>
<tr><td>Hi</td><td>Hi</td><td>Hi</td><td>Hi</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>2</td><td>131</td><td>11312</td></tr>
</table>
Saved as an HTML file will open up correctly(as a proper table) in any spreadsheet program.
To narrow down the problem:
1) Are you opening the same .xls file on both machines?
- what version of OpenOffice is on Machine 1?
- what version of OpenOffice is on Machine 2?
2) How are you creating your .xls file?
- are you just using the response object to change the content-type, or some proprietary software?
- can you include a code sample?
3) Have you tried a pure HTML format?
