Hello there,
I'm an Oracle APEX Developer and i'm having a problem calling a txt file from my Oracle directory (reads my server physical path) through APEX (i'm using version 4.2.1).
More specifically, i own a package including 2 procedures
- one for creating a string and inserting it on a table column
- and a second one that uses the UTL_FILE package for creating an ASCII file (something.txt) from the column above and storing it in my Directory.
Both procedures work just fine: The string is created, then inserted in the table and my ASCII txt file, has been stored in my Directory.
The part i have not yet developed, being the download of this txt file through an apex page. I cannot use the item 'File Browse' as it requires a blob column existence.
I have also tried the 'wpg_docload.download_file' function like but still not working:
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (l_mime_type, 'text/plain'), FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="MYDIR\something.txt"') ;
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength('MYDIR\something.txt')) ;
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file('MYDIR\something.txt');
Any suggestions to directly call my *.txt file??
Thanks in advance,
Sophie
