Make a text file, xls or a doc in the names of layers in Illustrator

I make medical graphics.

The doctor sent a spreadsheet with 1000 points and I need to draw.

I would like to import its terms in layers, so I need to cut and paste 1 K things.

Y at - it an existing script that can do this?

(I have almost zero coding skills)

ImportFileNames.png

Thank you!

Ensure that:

function LayersFromColumns() {}

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var src = File.openDialog ("select a .txt file only column");

if(SRC == null) {}

return;

}

content of the var;

CBC. Open ('r');

content = src.read ();

CBC. Close();

var layerNames = contents.split(/\n/g);

var thisLayer;

for (var i = 0; i)

thisLayer = doc.layers.add ();

thisLayer.name = layerNames [i];

};

};

LayersFromColumns();

It is very basic, so you really need to remove the default layer in a new document, or all in force layers if you already had some - because this thing will simply add new layers.

  • Automator: using a text file to set several items from the finder?

    Hello

    what I would do:

    I have a text file that contains multiple entries for files and folders, each on a separate line. I want to dragndrop this file on an automator action, he should ask me a destination folder and then copy all the files and folders in this folder.

    I have my action, automator, set up like this:

    Elements of the open Finder

    Get the content of the TextEdit Document

    Copy to the Clipboard (I have not found another way to keep my text sort file values and let it not be crushed by the following, but it works)

    Quit the Application (TextEdit)

    Ask the Finder items (this requires a destination folder)

    Set the value of the Variable (Destination)

    Get the contents of the Clipboard

    Copies the items from the Finder (at Destination)

    It all works, but only when there is 1 entry in my text file. As soon as I have 2 lines of text, I get the following error message:

    The action "copy Finder items" has not provided with the required data.

    How can I make this work with multiple entries?

    The problem is that you only pass the only element to the copy action (you have copied text), instead of an element for each line (paragraph) in the text.  The solution is to use the action filter paragraphs to break up along the borders of paragraph text, which will give you a list of items.  In addition, you do not necessarily have to use TextEdit or the Clipboard - If you already have a file somewhere, you can simply use the action to combine text files to read the text.

    With the above modifications, your workflow should look like:

    Ask the Finder items  (ask for a destination folder)

    Set the value of the Variable  (Destination)

    Ask the Finder items  (Download text files) - set the action to ignore the entry

    Combine text files  (read the text files)

    Filter paragraphs  (paragraphs which are not empty return)

    Copy the items to the Finder  (at Destination)

  • Reading text file takes a long time after the first time

    Dear experts LabVIEW,

    I'm having a problem with playback of text file. I'm reading only each Nth line from a file to preview with this sub vi:

    I seems to work the first time I do it well. The loop takes almost no time to perform an iteration.

    Then when I load the same file with exactly the same parameters an iteration takes about 50ms.

    Subsequent attempts always seem to take longer execution time.

    Only when I restart the calling vi fast for a single file.

    When executing the sub vi alone it is still fast, but I don't see how the main vi (too complex to post here) could hinder the execution of the Sub vi.

    I have no one else to open the file in the main vi, I do not use too much memory...

    Just now I have not now where to look. Does anyone have an idea?

  • What happens in a batch file when you try to redirect the output of a command in a text file? How did it break the lot?

    I have a lot that downloads the files, and I want to redirect the output to a text file.  The lot is set up similar to the following:
    Set ftp = c:\ftp.txt
    hdir = Set / mydir
    Define ldir = c:\temp
    echo open monsite.org > ftp %
    echo user > ftp %
    echo pw > ftp %
    echo get myfile.txt > ftp %
    echo mget my*.dat > ftp %
    to echo bye > ftp %
    -I - s FTP: ftp % > "c:\temp\ftp.log."

    This lot works perfectly if I redirect the output of the ftp command, but, when I redirect the output, I get a logfile with 3 lines as follows:
    no connection
    mget my*.dat
    Good bye

    I tried the commands different redirect, with undesired results
    > & (which causes only the batch to close by anything in the logs)

    Why is - what this redirect would break the batch and the ftp script in particular?

    This is now fixed; was a simple mistake really, but thanks for all the help anyway.

  • Update the text file app/native/assets/data/in the workspace?

    I'm having a problem with updting a compressed file that is updated via a Web service.

    It is pretty simple what I'm doing. first wait for the answer

    QNetworkReply * response = qobject_cast(sender());

    check the data, etc.

    location of the file is "app/native/assets/data/somefilename.txt".

    QFile file (type);
    If (file.exists ()) {}

    leader. Open(QIODevice::WriteOnly |) QIODevice::Text);
    QTextStream out (&file);)
    off<>

    leader. Close();

    }

    It works fine on my local machine when I run it on my Z30 by momentics.

    But once I have add to my BES server and pull down on my workspace, the file is not updated. I can see the file updated in the application is correct the only thing is that the file not updated text.  From what I see the "app/native/assets/data / ' is read-only.

    My question is how update you text files that were packaged in the instalation of the app "app/native/assets/data / '?

    Thanks in advance

    It is not possible, assets / is read only when the application is deployed to the device, it is only readwrite on Simulator. data / folder can be used instead.

    Optionally, the file may initially active resident / and can be manually copied to data / on the first start of the application. After that it can be updated in the data / folder.

  • After playback of MP3 files, random symbols will then show the name of file in XP

    Basically I'm on Xp, service pack 3 and for a while now, from time to time when I played usually a mp3 or other similar in windows media player, 10 minutes later it will pick a random file from my music folder and add a Japanese symbol at random at the end of the file name.

    Like "be the one" is played, 10 minutes later "be [a]" will now be the file name, only it never appears as the actual symbol, just a square, until you see the name on the windows media playlist where she will be written correctly
    So random, files are defined in the standard. Any help

    Hello again once, yes I ran the scanner.

    My avg updates automatically and I manually ran the update function, and it IS up to date
    I also managed to clear Media Player cache by entering the file manually.

  • Create New FLA files - why does always: Hummingbird after the name of the file?

    I just bought Adobe CS Web Premium 5.5. I am a newbie. One of my first experiences was me trying to animate a picture I took of a hummingbird. I called the Hummingbird.fla FLA. Now, when I create new FLA files, and keep it as Flowers.fla says, it always adds: Hummingbird in the title of the project. Can someone explain it to me?

    Thank you

    David

    Looks like you have opened a project in Flash. And now, each new file is added to the project. There is no net effect on the Flash file that you are working. The only advantage is that if you need to share external files with different movies. I'm guessing you won't need to do it.

    If you go back the information of the project in Flash, you should be able to find the folder the project root. You can just trash this folder and you will not have the project reference more.

  • How to make a vector file of Adobe CC draw on the IPAD in Adobe Illustrator CC on the PC?

    As the title says.

    I designed a sticker on Adobe draw CC and I need to upload it to a website like CMYK, 300 DPI and a specific size in inches.

    To save the file, I need to transfer it to the PC first because the CC draw Adobe does not allows you to select the features to save a file.

    I can 'send to adobe illustrator' or 'send to adobe photoshop' option on the ipad, but it seems that it is not a vector when file sent.

    Any ideas?

    If you send the illustrator of the draw, it will automatically convert to vector illustrations.

    1. make sure that you are connected to the PC and the CreativeCloud iPad with the same subscription that you use to launch Adobe Illustrator.

    2. with Internet on iPad, simply click: send to Illustrator.

    You even don't need to have Adobe Illustrator running, it should appear on your PC automatically.  If it is already running, the image will transfer as vector illustrations.

    If you have layers in the draw, they will appear as layers in Adobe Illustrator as well.

    You can then continue your design in Illustrator.

    (If you use Photoshop, it will stay in a layer, raster format)

    }

    Please help someone!

    Hello

    You may need this resolved at this point, but here are a few tips.

    An example of a loop in a dynamic array is here: Re: how to make invisible/visible or hidden columns with checkbox?

    You are usually not necessary to resolve the nodes, especially when the script object is in the same table as the target objects.

    For example if the table was not static your script could be simplified:

    if (this.rawValue == "1")  // this object is in Row2
    {
         Row4.ComplianceCheck_L1_1.mandatory= "error";
    ...
    }
    

    However because you will be to loop through all the rows in the table repeatable instances / then you need to resolve the nodes. Take a look at the example above.

    In your script, you have to Row8 Row4. I don't know if this is repeatable or just some of them. If we take Row4 as being repetitive, then you can apply the following to all repeatable lines.

    var vRow4 = Table48._Row4.count;
    console.println("Row4: " + vRow4); // You can delete this or comment it out after testing
    
    if (this.rawValue == "1")  // this object is in Row2
    {
         for (var i=0; i
    

    I have not tested, but it should be close to work.

    Good luck

  • make reference to a movieclip with a variable containing the name of the instance?

    There are a few occurrences of clip on the scene (not dynamically created at run time). Now, I want to do this:

    Use a variable to hold an instance name when running. then use this variable to point it to the reference clip.

    Problem: Assume that this variable is named "mc_ref". He is unable to use "_root.mc_ref" to designate the clip under the name of this mc_ref contains. It seems in this case takes flash 'mc_ref' as the instance name, and so looking for any child of that name. given that mc_ref itself is not a name, it will not work.

    is there something like MovieClipbyInstanceName function for this? Any thoughts? Thank you!

    you are confused. name of the variable and the movieclip should not be the same.

    Here are the correct ways to reference movieclips in flash:

  • Odd number of columns in the text file

    Hello everyone

    From an Excel (.xls) file, I saved (tabs-delimited text) file and open in Labview. The file has only 2 columns (apparently), but my VI says he has 12! I tried to find any character 'lost' in the file but it's all in the first two columns.

    However, if I open the .xls file, save the text file delimited tab, open this tab delimited text file using excel, hit save and then open in my VI, the VI will tell me that the file has only 2 columns. Strange.

    Enclosed please find my VI (I tried two different methods to load the file and got the same results).

    Well, your code is not still valid in the first place.

    There is no function called "tank", the real function is "chr".

    The character for a new line character is Chr (10) rather than Chr (13).

    In unix operating systems, the line break is just Chr (10).

    Operating systems windows/dos line break is Chr (13) | Chr (10), although some windows applications such as Word/Wordpad will understand * nix style chr (10) is like the newlines too, however, things like Notepad will not and will eventually display all data on a single line.

    When you transfer a text file of a unix operating system to an operating system of windows that it is usually performed using FTP and you need to make sure you put the software FTP in ASCII mode so that the new line characters get converted correctly...

    FTP > CSA

    200 type set to A.

    (for binary files, you ensure that the FTP is set to binary mode so that no byte in the file is corrupted by such a conversion).

    By transferring your file using FTP ASCII mode, from unix to windows, the characters Chr (10) in the file will be converted to Chr (13) | the pairs of characters Chr (10), then the file will be displayed correctly in Notepad.  If you transfer from windows to unix in ASCII Chr (13) | Chr (10) pairs are converted back to just chr (10) for unix.

    As an alternative, there's also a Unix utility called "unix2dos" which converts a text file from unix style returns to the line of back style line breaks, then you simply transfer the file in binary mode, so no other conversion takes place.

    Create a variable (alphanumeric) and refresh it against your RDBMS to get the current timestamp in the format you want, IE. Select to_char (sysdate, 'YYYYMMDDHHMISS') of double;
    Set this variable in a package and choose mode = Refresh, before running your step of SQLUnload.
