AppleScript - quotes from removal of cells

I need to remove the quotes of cells in number.

Currently, I have a script that imports data from Yahoo Finance in numbers in a range of cells (for example b2:j8).

Unfortunately, much of this data as of the dates & times that are imported are surrounded by double quotes ".» It is therefore impossible to manipulate the data in these cells (for example dates are imported in the format mm/dd/yy and I wish I could change it to the jj/mm/aa but because the format was imported as 'dd/mm/yy' column cannot be formatted into a date format).

Also other cells that can contain text have quotes. Fortunately the data that contains numbers have no quotes.

I've looked everywhere and can't find a script that would be able to remove the quotes of cells.

Help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

The script below will remove the first and last characters for the values in the cells 3 numbers.

To use:

  1. Copy-paste in the Script Editor (in Applications > utilities)
  2. Select the cells of numbers with dates
  3. With the selected cells, lick the button 'run '.

Because this changes the contents of the cells, best to test first on a copy of your data.

BTW, you don't specify what version of numbers that you use.  If you use numbers 2, some changes will be necessary.

And have you seen this thread on the use of API finance from Yahoo to retrieve data on stocks and place it in numbers?

SG

say application "Numbers".

say front document to tell the worksheet active

say ( class is worn) fromfirst table whose selection range

Repeat with ch in (get selection range) of cells

c the value of the value to the (c value as text)'s text 2 thru -2

end Repeat

end say

end say

end say

  • How to remove tabs, several spaces, quotes from data in the column.

    Hello

    How can we remove legs, several spaces, quotes from data in the column.

    Entry:

    H ope you 'are' Ingo w ell

    Output:

    H ope do you everything - there is a tab in hope and double-spaced in the well. This should be replaced by space. (Tab and multi spaces)

    I found myself with below:

    REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (Replace (col, Chr (9),' '), ' () {2,} ', ' '),'[' ""]', ")

    Can we do more efficiently, your contributions are appreciated.

    I tried

    REGEXP_REPLACE (col,'[^ [a - z, A - Z, 0-9, Chr (0) - Chr (127) [: Space:]]] *', ") but the tabs still exist and that my data have German characters I can't go along with this.

    Hello

    Thanks for your suggestion. In the above expression, we still missed to replace the double quotes.

    So thought we must use another regular expression instead of REPLACE.

    Select REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (' H ope you "are" d "Ingo ell w ',' [' |])) CHR (9) | + ',' '),'["" "]') twice;

    I suppose we must use at least 2 REGEXP to achieve and cannot get it with a single expression.

    Thank you

    Sorry, I removed single quotes, not double - quote.  (This shows one of the reasons why having a few lines of sample data is very useful).

    I think you don't need 2 separate functions.  I do not think that the two must be REGEXP_REPLACE; You can use TRANSLATE to remove both types of quotation marks in a single function call:

    TRANSLATE (REGEXP_REPLACE (col

    , '[ ' || CHR (9) | ']+'

    , ' '

    )

    , '?'''"',

    , '?'

    )

    Of course, you can use use REGEXP_REPLACE to remove the quotes, if you really want to.

    Powerful they are, regular expressions are basically only 1 thing, things not 2 or more different.  Sometimes, he can watch as they do several things, because they can operate on character classes, like the series containing the and the and a variable number of characters.  For example, the REGEXP_REPLACE function, I used above is simply changing expression expression x y, where x is 1 consecutive or more characters of a given set.  As we both demonstrated, we can have a separate function that changes from p to q, but I know not all built-in function which, in general, can change x to y at the time that it changes from p to q.  TRANSLATE comes close, but TRANSLATE only works if x, y, p and q are single (or NULL), characters not expressions.

  • How do disable you booting from removable devices on Satellite R830?

    Hi all

    Can someone help me find a way to disable booting from removable devices on a toshiba Satellite R830.

    Thank you?

    Hello

    You can't disable booting from a boot device.
    You can simply change the boot order in the BIOS.

    If you don t want to start, for example: USB, just put the HARD drive as first boot device.
    Now the laptop will boot first from the HARD drive. If it isn t HARD (because of missing systems) bootable disk, the BIOS will pass to the next device, IE: CD/DVD player

  • Personal Verizon has me download pictures from my old cell phone on my laptop. How now EXPORT from my laptop to my new phone and my Tablet?

    Personal Verizon has me download pictures from my old cell phone on my laptop.  How now EXPORT from my laptop to my new phone and my Tablet?

    This is largely dependent on what kind of new phone or tablet you have.

    An alternative could be to put the files in Microsoft OneDrive (online free player to store your files from Microsoft).  Then add the OneDrive app on your phone and Tablet so you can download the files.

    If you want to use more, OneDrive also has the ability to automatically add the photos you take on your phone in your folder OneDrive. If you have the OneDrive app on your portable computer, the photos you pull on your phone would immediately synchronize with your laptop, always.  Ideal for making them easy to reach and use and also a great backup Pack your phone breaks.  Good, end of announcement :)

  • Regex help: Remove "" quotes from the entry name

    I'm unable to get a program to remove the "" leave a string that is ready to a .csv file.  Basically, what happens is, sometimes, when a person registers a .csv using a spreadsheet, it adds the "" before and after each entry (so basically what should be data, database2, donnees3 comes out as "data", "data2", "data3").  How can I remove the "" of the variable so that my script properly accesses the data he needs?  I have an example of what I tried below to test it:

    for(i=0;i<bits.length;i++) {
         bits[i].replace(/"(?=[^\[]*\])/g, ''); //remove "" quotations
         alert(bits[i]);

  • Removal of cells for the OLAP CUBE

    Hello
    I want to remove the old CUBE cell (to keep the House)?

    Is there any process for that?

    Thank you very much
    Alexandre Martins

    If your build script contains a CLEAR sequence, then the cube will automatically synchronize with the fact table. Consider the following sequence of actions.

    (1) insert a line in fact with (prod = "P1", time = 'T1')
    (2) load the cube. The cell (prod = "P1", time = 'T1') will now be in the cube.
    (3) remove the line from the fact
    (4) load the cube again.

    Will be the cell (prod = "P1", time = 'T1') still be in the cube at the end of all this? The answer is YES, if the script is (LOAD, SOLVE) and SO if the script is (CLEAR, LOAD, SOLVE). The AWM default script is LOAD, SOLVE.

  • How can I download pix from computer to cell phone?

    I am trying to download pix from my computer... on my cell phone.  How can I do this?  Thank you!

    I'll assume that you have installed in your computer and Bluetooth phone.

    Computer: Control Panel, Bluetooth devices, Bluetooth settings,

    Discovery, select Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer (should be disabled when not in use by you if someone else cannot access your computer).

    Connections, check both: Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer and warn me when a Bluetooth device wants to connect.

    Click on apply, OK, close the other window.

    Now you need to pair your phone with your computer. The prosess is slightly different for each phone.

    Find and activate Bluetooth on your phone.

    Click search and your phone is your computer. You will be asked to pair your phone by entering a code to match of your choice or some phones have this printed on the back. Once you enter this code, your computer will display a popup and ask also for the same code.

    Your phone and your computer should now be paired. You should see an icon for your computer.

    If this does not work, see the documentation provided with your phone or your phone manufacturer's Web site.

    To download photos you've taken with your phone go to your image files, click a picture, and click on send and click Bluetooth.

    Click the icon for your computer and your phone send it in your BluetoothExchange folder.

    A popup appears on your computer request permission, choose the settings you want and click OK.

    The first time, to do this, your computer will create a Bluetooth Exchange folder in your Documents and your photos will be there.

    When you want to access these images enable Bluetooth and you should see an icon for your computer. Click the icon and choose Browse files. Files in your Bluetooth Exchange folder will appear on your phone.

    Open a folder and click an image (or click on a single image that is not in a folder).

    A popup appears on your computer request permission, choose the settings you want and click OK.

    The image will be sent to your image file in your phone.

    Finally, to upload photos from your computer photo files just copy or move to the Bluetooth Exchange folder. You can also create a folder in the Bluetooth Exchange folder for your photos to the computer.

  • Windows 7 tells me I need permission from remove me a file

    I'm trying to remove the Program Files folder and the Windows folder from a hard disk which I have not started.  I do this from a Windows 7 machine.  The I'm trying to delete files come from the hdd to boot a Vista where I want to delete all the folders and copy backup it from a I have before inserting the disc newly restored in the Vista machine.  Win7 denies my request to delete these files.  I took possession of containers under folders and files.  I changed the permissions so that I have total control.  I even changed owner to anyone and has kept everyone full control.  Even after doing all this Win7 still tells me:

    You need permission to perform this action
    You need permission to everyone to make changes to this file
    Program Files
    Creation date: 11/02/2006-11:18

    And gives me the option to retry or cancel

    It is extremely frustrating and probably a huge bug in Windows.  If I try again I get just repeated the same message.

    I am an administrator still this OS will not let me run!

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I need to keep intact boot sector - everything that I want to do is to copy a backup of my system files on this drive so that I can start my computer Vista again.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Here you mentioned the hard drive and if you think it's the hard drive, then my first suggestion would be to show the hidden files and folders.

    Here's how to display the hidden files and folders.

    a. open the Options folder by clicking on the button start the picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

    b. click on the view tab.

    c. under Advanced settings, click Show files, folders and drives, and then click OK.

    See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Show-hidden-files

    Now, perform the following steps:

    Step 1:

    Delete files using Disk Cleanup

    Step 2:

    a. click windows orb
    b. type cmd in the search box
    c. right-click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
    d. command windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
    e. go to c:\ do what type cd... until you reach c:\
    f. navigate to the directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
    g. type rd/s (directory name)
    h. will get quickly delete y/n type y and press enter

    After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

    Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

    Currently, the handheld is fixed to delete on the mailbox & Pocket that removes a message from your handheld when it is deleted in Outlook and vice versa. What the user wants, it's when it deletes an e-mail message in Outlook, removes it from your handheld as well, but when she removes an email on the handheld, it remains on Outlook. Is it possible to do this? It does not appear that the options remove on cover that then it would be not possible.

    on blackberry:
    Choose the option delete on "device".

    ==> When you delete a message on the device, it stays in Outlook.

    on Outlook:
    don't shift + delete
    Just delete the message so that the message is placed in the "deleted items".

    Then you must be between 1 and 15 minutes before the device is aware of this movement.
    ==> When it is updated, it will delete the messages on the device.
    Then, you can empty the 'deleted items' in Outlook.

    You can force this new awareness, on the device, when you are in the list of messages:
