AppleScript for recover data from Spotlight

Here's a challenge for you all...

Projector in El Capitan can provide much more information, i.e. weather, sports scores and so on. Now, I already have an AppleScript script that allows the user to enter something, and then it will call Spotlight and stick to what they entered. I want to be able to do is read the data Spotlight returned. For example, if the user types in "weather" and Spotlight said she's currently 61 °, I want to be able to transmit the data back in the script. How this could be achieved? If there is no conventional way you know, perhaps via some GUI scripts?

Thank you.

Yosemite... no time.  I tried 3 + 2 and saw 5 in the input area.  The following code did not the addition.  We can assume that Apple has some type of skimming preprocessor outside the soluble substance before transmitting the data to the mdfind.

How do you pass the data to highlight?

"Things that do not work. (tm) »

Well, running a unix since applescript command returns data to a variable if you code.

mdfind-name of pumpkin

(*

It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on.  Here is an example.

    Author: rccharles

    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
  
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html

*)

on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "

    set quotedUnix to quoted form of "Pumpkin"
    log "quoted form" & quotedUnix
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "mdfind -name " & quotedUnix
        display dialog "mdfind -name " & quotedUnix & return & "returns the following files " & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "error..." & errMsg
    end try

end run

  • Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

    How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

    I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

    I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

  • I am recovering data from 720 KB diskettes.

    About 14 years ago I saved about 150 paint files (all illustrations) on 25 Dysan double face, double pre-formatted density 720 KB 3-1/2 "floppy disks.  I am their opening and copy of Windows XP.  Everything works fine, except for two 2 discs.  The program tells me that the disks are not formatted, and I want to format it now?  I said 'no' because I didn't want to erase all data.  It does the same thing at first to a single disc, which later, I was able to copy.  Do anyone knows how I can get back safely the work of these 2 diskettes, or I won't be able to recover this data?  Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    It's not pretty, and if you need to have a GUI for doing things on the computer (with 14 years of experience, I'm sure you did a little work on the command line!) this is not the tool for you.

  • problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

    I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

    Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

    You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
    You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

    If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:

  • Recovering data from hard drives of laptop data

    1. laptop computer work with a hard drive to work (I know that this is the case if you insert the disc of the laptop, it works, it loads windows xp, you can use the laptop according to the normal without errors / problems etc.)

    We have a disk external drive kit (again I know works as I use to connect to a multitude of other hard drives via the USB port of a desktop PC) and I have another kit to different hard drive for the first USB SATA hard drive recovery kit and it does the same thing when you try to access the data on the hard drive for laptops

    If I connect the laptop hard drive to my desktop PC it won't appear in my computer even if you right-click my computer--> manage--> disk management

    The drive appears here as not initialized and will fail if you try to initialize the disk indicating there CRC errors and it will not assign a drive letter.

    Is there a quick way to access the data on the disk?

    As much as I know readers are not encrypted as when loading after the bios POST, you get not all blue / violet loading gauges, this is Windows XP SP 3 so do not use bit locker or something like that.

    What should I do to get access to data as quickly as possible without making too many steps or waiting for utils recovering data, etc..

    Also, what do Lenovo for the drives causing headaches as much?

    Am confused with your part external kits...

    In any case, I assume you have a computer laptop lenovo work and office work. You try to connect lenovo's HARD drive in a USB drive kit and extract data from the desktop.

    (1) is the disc encrpted HARD lenovo? Check the Bios and also if lenovo security software are installed.

    (2) the fastest way I'm doing it today is to connect laptops and office to a network. Share the disk, and then extract the data from the laptop or desktop. A second option is remote laptop and retrieves the data.

    (3) another possibility is that your laptop is XP, IE the formatting isn't AHCI (check the bios under sata), it is in compatibility mode. The Office use Vista or Windows 7?

  • Fixing and recover data from my kMyBoss to and from file real *.indd

    Hi all

    The question is this.

    I need to store some data in the document and when I close the document, my technical data should be saved to the indd file, so that when I open this document I would be able to recover my data.

    I found an interesting interface IBlackBoxData in REF API, but there are no samples or examples

    Maybe someone has some experience in the resolution of these problems?

    In short - there is advice on how to tie my kMyBoss data to the actual indd file and then restore the data from file to my kMyBoss?

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    I found my mistake.

    Before you define local variables, which must be registered to the use of the PreDirty() method documents.

    For Boolean data, it will be something like this:

    void CMyBoolDataImpl::Set (bool16 b)

    {

    If (m_data! = b) {}

    PreDirty();

    m_Data = b;

    }

    }

    and that's all

    There is an additional command that is added at the end of the url of Youtube. You need to add & = t * m * s at the end of the url. Where the asterisks are, replace you them with numbers. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb7gTeLmpHs & t = 3m24s

    The m is s for seconds and minutes.

    You can also find this information by loading a video from Youtube, by dragging the time slider to the time you want to pause the video, and then right-click on the video and choose:

  • How to recover data from multiple data sources in a single destination using ODI 11 g

    Hello

    We have about 20 sql server instance. We need extract data from these systems in a system of dataware house. I don't want to create 23 connections in the physical topology. As every year, we have a few additions/deletions in the forums. So I would like whether it's generic, for example, I'll save the jdbc connection in a table and add/remove as and when necessary details. The structure of the tables in the bodies of 20 are the same. We do not want to implement using contexts.

    Can you please let me know the procedure to get the same thing.
