Limit of prompt is 255 characters, or Photoshop crashes! Is there a better way?
I noticed today that the command 'prompt' seems to have a limit where it accepts no more than 255 characters. If you try to enter more, Photoshop crashes!
Photoshop CC v14.2.1 x 64
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
16 GB OF RAM
I tried the following:
var defaultTextString = ' 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678 90123456789.123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678 901234567890123456789.1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 | 12345. " | |
textString var = prompt ("enter the number:", defaultTextString); |
With 255 characters in the defaultTextString, the prompt works as expected. If you add an extra character to the defaultTextString, the dialog box appears as expected with the full text by default as expected. However, when you click the OK button, you get the error next to Windows and closed from Photoshop.

I'm relatively new to Photoshop scripting. Y at - it another command I should use for entering text greater than 255 characters?

Davide,
Thank you for taking the time to respond with the code example. I tried to copy and paste it in a new window in ExtendScript Toolkit, and I got an error on line 2. Unfortunately, I am not experienced enough yet to find the exact problem. However, you got me in the right direction, and I was able to learn a lot about windows!
For the benefit of third parties, there is called ScriptUI window for Photoshop code. I found a useful tutorial here: ScriptUI for Dummies | Peter Kahrel
What I found on the web, CS2 scripting guide contains the most complete documentation for ScriptUI (see Chapter 4): Adobe CS2 Photoshop JavaScript Scripting Reference - JavaScriptReferenceGuide.pdf

Is there a character limit for prompt()?
I came across a comment on another Web site to the effect that the method overall prompt() will crash PhotoShop if the user types more than 255 characters in the text field. From my brief experience today, I would say that the same limit applies as well to InCopy and InDesign. If anyone else has experienced this?
I guess that the next step would be to use ScriptUI to create a text input dialog box.
... Here's a quick version of a quicker dialogue. I just tested and could paste 29 721 characters in there. No idea where that limit.
text = largerPrompt ("Hello there!"); alert ("you entered "+text.length+" characters"); exit(); function largerPrompt (title) { var w = new Window("dialog", title); var textfield = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 500, 300], "", {multiline: true}); textfield.text = "Paste or type text in here\rUse Ctrl+Tab to insert a Tab, Ctrl+Enter to insert a Hard return"; textfield.active = true; with (w.add("group")) { orientation = "row"; add ("button", undefined, "OK"); add ("button", undefined, "Cancel"); } if (w.show()==2) return null; return textfield.text; }

OCR bed max 255 characters?
Hello!
I have LV 8.5.1 and NI Vision 8.5.1.
Function "IMAQ OCR Read Text 3" reads only first 255 characters in the string. My rope is 300 characters long and I put the return on investment to cover all 300 characters. Same thing happens in Vision Builder 3.5. Is this a bug? Or is it that I must resolve to read more than 255 characters?
Thank you
Andrej
It is not a bug, this is the maximum number of characters that can be read in one instance of this function.
If you wish to read a string over 255, simply use the same function more than once, with different areas of interest and ultimately, concatenate the resulting strings.

Limit the maximum number of characters per line in the TextField, help please
Hello Livecycle designers!
It would be great if you could help me with the following problem. I have a TextField with 5 lines (limit of the viewable area and the exact height) and I want to limit the maximum number of characters per line up to 10 (as well as the total in this field at 50, but I'm able to do with the option "time limit, max characters").
As far as I know can be done only by the script so if you change that I wrote:
lines of the var = xfa.event.newText.toString().split('\n');
i = Lines.Length,
maxChar = "10";If {(maxChar)
While (I--> 0) {}
If (rows [i] .length == maxChar) {}
XFA. Event.change = "\n";
}
}
}and actually who works very well when instead of '\n' in the 1st line, I put any character (e.g. ' |' and I won't pretend that ' |' is my new \n).
So the main problem is to split the text entered by the user in lines (the '\n' is unfortunately not working). So the solution to this problem would somehow split my Textbox in lines (in table) after the user presses ENTER.
I'd appreciate any help here, so if you have just 2 minutes of your time, please help me.
Hello
I have rebuild your idea... that is the result.
var Input = xfa.event.fullText;
var FullLength = Input.length;
var SplitLength = 10
var SplitParts = Math.ceil(FullLength / SplitLength)
var JoinString = "";
for (var i = 0; i)<= splitparts;="">=>
{
SplitString = Input.substring (0, SplitLength);
Entry = Input.replace (SplitString, "");
JoinString = JoinString + SplitString + "\u000a";
}
xfa.resolveNode("Textfield2").rawValue = JoinString;

SQL Loader fails to process the string columns longer than 255 characters
Hi all
I use the LKM sqlldr (oracle) file to load data from flat file to oracle. I am aware that if you do not specify the length of the input of character data, sqlldr defaults to 255 characters. But, in my store of data source, I've specified the length of the column to be 1000, but sqlldr does not always treat records with more than 255 characters.
No idea how to change this behavior in sqlldr?
Receive your answer.
HeyYou can change the step "to generate a CTL file."
and replace the section:
} else { // The source column is a STRING => no options to add format = ""; };
with
} else { // The source column is a STRING => add char(length) for length greater than 255 taille = new Integer(colPrecision).intValue(); if (taille > 254) format = "CHAR("+colPrecision+")"; else format =""; };

Photoshop crashes when I try to print
Photoshop CS6 and Windows 8.1. CS6 is transferred to a new computer and photoshop crashes every time I try to print. I can print from Illustrator and Lightroom.
This is a long thread to it. Suggestions are to search the drivers updated or uninstall/reinstall your drivers.
I would start with reset preferences:
Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt from the cold Photoshop start. If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.
And look st this thread for other ideas: Photoshop: CS6 crashes when printing is selected
You can even ask to in there.

I have a Creative cloud photography Plan (CC of Photoshop Lightroom). There a serial number for registration? Because I have received no series by mail, but it works well! And he never asks me to activate with a serial number. I just pay monthly Plan.
I ask this question because I have to change the computer and I didn't have trouble disattivate App and put it on the new pc!
Can I turn off just from the creative cloud by disconnection of the account application, uninstall the application and then install on the new pc?
The CC has not need any number of series, it is based on an Adobe ID.
In the case where you are prompted for the serial number then you can refer to.

During a photo this morning montage, photoshop crashed and restarted ten windows. He did whenever I opened it. I had to uninstall lightroom and photoshop to stop the problem. I had this problem with another laptop. I'm think he had back problems. Now, I have the same problem on this news. I don't know what to do, but it drives me crazy.
Applications can have all of the computer of BSOD, stop, restart, or gel.
The only things that can cause that are bugs in the operating system, bug in the drivers at the low level and the defective material.
If you have a Nvidia GPUS with Nvidia to see if you can use their beta driver or if you need an older driver to correct their recent driver bug that causes errors in kernel_security_check.

Hello!
The Creative cloud program does not. When you open the file in Photoshop says that there are not many fonts, use Typekit. Typekit itself turned off. All programs downloaded and saved, but Photoshop doesn't see Typekit. What should do?
Also says that I have no access to this service. For access, please contact your COMPUTER administrator or connect using the ID
Hello
Greetings!
Is Typekit on?

Hi there from Hamburg/Germany. Since the last two updates of the CC, Photoshop crashes 95% when I work with masks. This gets really annoying when you know that I have about 120 photos to retouch to a customer. Any ideas what's happening here? Never had this problem before. Now, every time I create a layer mask, or try to work on a Photoshop freezes completely, forcing me to restart and (most of the time unless I have record EACH step) start of a scratch. Which is pretty much annoying... any suggestions?

Nobody knows... including Adobe why Photoshop crashes when you try to print. I had Adobe take on my computer, they put it is good, and then as soon as I download an update off he goes again. ADOBE when are you going to fix this problem it is we makes everyone crazy.
