Numbers AppleScript: paste the Clipboard as lines below

• How can I access my copy and paste the clipboard history to return a paragraph?

  I was on Facebook and I cut and paste a few answers to a friends post when Facebook, remove the previous cut and paste on the wall of the person.  How can I go back in the history of the Clipboard and access a previous cut and paste paragraph?

  Rather than write it all over again from memory, it would be much faster and easier if I could recover the previous cut and paste.

  Does make sense?

  Thanks for any help.

• AppleScript for the development of Documents of numbers

  Hello!

  I just finished my first 'Real' Applescript to do something that I thought was pretty simple.

  It took me 5 days to figure it out!

  In any case, I regularly create new documents of numbers whenever I make a deposit in cash for the accountant of campus

  (I am a teacher/middle school band Director and am constantly receive payments from children for t-shirts, uniform band, travel expenses, etc.)

  I tried for years to find a way to compile all deposit slips in a single document to keep track of who paid for what during the school year and I always ended up having to manually copy and paste the data of each doc in the main list (last year I had more than one hundred different deposits slip files in a folder on my desktop).

  Long story short, I discovered Automator and Applescript a couple weeks ago and have been playing with them. Who would have thought that these tools had been all the time on my mac!

  If someone (much more qualified than me) could take a look at the code, I am come with below to see if she is healthy, of if there is a more effective way to achieve this, I very much appreciate it!

  The code works for now, but if there is something or any weakness that could break it in a future update, I would like to know about it.

  CODE BELOW:

  -------------------------------------------------

  -It is my attempt to create an AppleScript to copy data from several numbers documents and compiling a database for use in a single master Document numbers.

  -The way it's Setup now, whenever a new document data is added to the source folder, I double click on an icon on the desktop that runs this script.

  game of sourceFolder to (POSIX file ' / users/my_name/library/2016-2017 Financial Documents TO BE ADDED / " as alias)

  -source folder for documents to add to the main list

  
  

  game of to targetFolder (POSIX file ' / users/my_name/library/2016-2017 Documents financial/DONE / " as alias)

  -Place for documents to go after they are added to the main list.

  
  

  game dittos to (Choose file with prompt "choose a numbers Document to copy in the type list." as text by default location sourceFolder)

  -The script will ask me to select a file out of the source folder to copy

  
  

  say application "Numbers".

  activate

  the value doc to Open dittos

  say table 1 of the sheet active of the doc

  the value thisRangeName to '03:37.

  -the range I want to copy

  the value the range selection for range thisRangeName

  -selects the range I want to copy

  end say

  end say

  say application 'System events' to hit 'c' with the command down

  -copy the selected to the Clipboard.

  property docTarget: "/ users/my_name/library/2016-2017 band Documents/2016-2017 student List.numbers.

  -The location of the master file

  property today: current date

  -variable to use when entering information in the master file. This helps to sort the objects added to the master file.

  
  

  say application "Numbers".

  Open docTarget

  say 1 of table sheet "Sums of MONEY RECOVERABLE" of front document

  Add the line below last line

  -creates a new line to receive new information.

  the value the value of the last first cell at (today's date) string a line

  -between the current date in the first column of the table

  set the selection go in last second cell line

  -moves the selected cell to the one who will receive the data from the Clipboard.

  say application 'System events' to hit 'v' with the command down

  -Paste the Clipboard data

  say application "System events" of typing "ESC".

  -Deletes the currently selected cells

  end say

  -We will now check for empty lines that have been pasted from the source document to clean our Master Document.

  say 1 of table sheet "Sums of MONEY RECOVERABLE" of front document

  Set rowCount to (each line of the selection between)

  -the number of rows to check? Number of rows is determined by the amount of the previous selection range.

  Repeat with I of 3 for the count of number of lines

  -ignore the first 2 rows, which are header lines, the County

  the value may be to (value of fifth cell in last line)

  -checks the value of the fifth column (reason for the activity) to see if it is empty.

  If perhaps missing value then set went to last row

  -from the last line of the document, if the fifth column is blank, it is marked for deletion.

  Remove gone

  -remove the empty line

  end Repeat

  the value is in (value of fifth cell in last line)

  -When the repeated destruction are complete, if there is an extra empty line remains, it will get.

  If done then delete last rank missing value

  -the if statement that will remove the last extra line

  end say

  end say

  quit smoking application "Numbers".

  -close all documents of numbers and quit the application

  say application 'Finder '.

  move File to the folder targetFolder Dittos

  -move the Source file out of the folder "TO BE ADDED" and in the "DONE" folder.

  end say

  Thanks for the help and advice of an Applescript Newbie!

  First of all, if the script works for you, then it's good enough

  Even experienced/veteran AppleScripters can spend a lot of time to 'perfect' scripts, so it is important to balance the how long it will take to arrive at a solution that is "perfect".

  If you're looking for pointers that might work "better", here are a few thoughts.

  First of all, your script depends on literally copy and paste the data from the source file for the master file. I'm never a fan of this approach. All works (clearly), it is prone to error and changes the State of the system - not sure if what was in the Clipboard the script at startup has been sought, and the operator (if it wasn't you) do not doubt that the execution of the script would change the contents of the Clipboard. In general, I think it's better to reference the data directly ("set data2Copy to (get the ranks 1 to 37 of table 1...)"), although it works for now.

  In addition, your script is depends somewhat on the specifics of the source and master files. There is no error checking that the source data is valid before you copy it.

  On the same topic, you have a significant amount of code to check if the column 5 is empty. I would consider doing this check at the front - in other words only copies the data you need, rather than copy more and must clean up afterwards. Once again, the details of this function a bit on the data.

  Finally, for the moment, the script runs on a single file at a time - opens the source file, opens the master file, copies the data, close the files and closes way unexpected numbers.

  What happens if there are multiple source files to process? You can consider a loop through the files, the copied data and closing/smoke right at the end. That would save some time.

• -Pasting from the Clipboard

  Let me preface this by saying I installed Snow Leopard, but I can't honestly remember if this problem started before or after the installation. I have not had any problems to do this before.

  My problem seems to stick my Clipboard from a source outside of Acrobat 9.1.3. I change the work of other artists done in Illustrator and introduced to me in Acrobat. I sometimes attracted an example of work in Illustrator, copy (usually using command/shift/4 then control/click-drag) to the Clipboard, then just order a v in Acrobat and all goes well. But lately, the work will not stick. What sticks is the text that was before the Clipboard of the work.

  I tried to use the snapshot tool with the same results. I can paste the Clipboard work in Illustrator very well - even MSWord, but not Acrobat. I tried copying and pasting from Acrobat, Acrobat and it won't work. I can copy of Acrobat, Illustrator successfully. Just not in Acrobat.

  With success, I can't copy / paste of text and lines and points and arrows in the markup menu in Acrobat. At I have accidentally trips a switch, that I'm not aware? Or is it a thing of Snow Leopard?

  My (not the best) solution is to save the Illustrator any example in PDF format page, then slide in after the page I am annotating in Acrobat. It works a little, but clumsy. As I said, everything was fine until recently. It has always worked fine before.

  Suggestions?

  No problem. I inherited this very particular character of my father. We might as well say or write something innocent for us and it means go, and he came to another sounding like they were insulting.

  It happens to the best of us.

• How can I stop Firefox to open a url in the Clipboard when I open Firefox?

  When I have a url copied to my Clipboard and I open Firefox, Firefox read the Clipboard and open the url instead of my default web page. How can I locate it?

• How do I paste the code to program

  I write about programming, and so I stick a lot of programming code in my articles. I wrote this code, because I test everything first.

  I'm trying to find out how to do this in the most simple in Dreamweaver. I found paste special, but it works so - so.

  I have this in my Perl script:

  If (a > 27 ") {}
  Print "looks like a is higher than 27 today\n;

  }

  So I want to take this piece of code and paste it into my HTML file, so that I get:

  < pre > if (a & gt; 27) {}
  print & quot; Looks like a is higher than 27 today\n & quot;

  } < / pre >

  If I use the text only, all line breaks are thrown away as I get everything on a single line:

  If (a > 27 ") {print" looks like a is higher than 27 today\n ";}}

  Which is useless. If I ask rather to keep the jumps of line and structure, and then select Preformatted before I go ahead, I get this:

  < pre > if (a & gt; 27) {< br >
  print & quot; Looks like a is higher than 27 today\n & quot; < br >

  } < / pre >

  Otherwise, the original line breaks are preserved and < BR > tags are added. At the same time the indentation is lost. Of course, I can go through the code to clean it upward, and everything by removing the tags < br > can be done with find/replace, restoring the indentation is more work.

  It should also be clear from the example, what made the collage in the Code view is not a good option.

  Am I missing something, or Dreamweaver offers no better alternative?

  I had the same problem. I write many pages of tutorial for C++ and c#, and this in DreamWeaver is a pain.

  So, I wrote this: http://www.cse.msu.edu/~cbowen/CodeTools.zip

  When you unpack, you will see a CodeTools.zxp file. I use CS6, and you should be able to install this using the Extensions Manager. I add a new menu Code to insert with two options pane. It will paste the Clipboard between

   and 

  with the <,>, and & translated into the appropriate HTML code. The second does the same thing except it sticks between

   and 

  . Since I have a standard style I use to code, assigns it automatically. Now, it is much faster than what I was doing in Expression Web.

• Copy to the Clipboard, method (Table) copy an extra empty column more than expected

  Hello

  I use the copy to the Clipboard method for a Table, for example copy 4 rows with 3 columns. When I paste in Excel I get 4 rows with 3 columns and an additional column, which is empty, then the actual size is 4 x 4.

  Is it a mistake to Labview or can someone there explain to me why this is happening? Or better yet, how can I fix it?

  I've isolated the problem to an additional vi so that you can reproduce the error. Just let the vi run once and then paste the Clipboard to Microsoft Excel.

  My Labview Version is 11.0 32-bit, Microsoft Office 2010, WinXP SP3

• The dashed lines in my Illustrator file deform when I copy/paste the in Excel. Otherwise, the image is fine. What I am doing wrong?

  The dashed lines in my Illustrator file deform when I copy/paste the in Excel. Otherwise, the image is fine. What I am doing wrong?

  The lines end up looking much bigger than they were initially.

  I am using the paste special option in Excel and it works fine for all parts of the image, but this.

  Someone suggested I try to use the Mode plotted, but who has not made a difference when I tried.

  The map view wouldn't make any difference, so more clarification is needed on your workflow.

  Why it's not working for you save the image as a png image in Illustrator and then insert it correctly as a picture in Excel?

  What are you trying to make to it after that's in Excel? If the PNG workflow does not work for you, then explain your workflow. It might help to know if you're Mac or Windows and the version numbers and maybe screenshots.

• Script to examine the Clipboard before pasting

  I had some success using an beforePaste() event listener to help users avoid pasting text formatted in places where they should not. This script could be a lot smarter if it would first make the contents of the Clipboard. Even a simple count of paragraphs would be a great help.

  Crew on this forum, it is clear that the more current idea to check the contents of the Clipboard in the JS is to create a temporary text box, paste in and then to get the content of the temporary image. But I think remember that AppleScript was directly access the contents of the Clipboard and having read VBscript might as well.

  So: someone at - it a code snippet that shows how to use VBscript to get the content of the Clipboard and send it to javascript?

  The following works on Mac and theoretically should work on Windows, but I don't have an easy way to test at the moment.

  alert(GetClipboard());
  function GetClipboard(){
      var clipboard;
      if(File.fs == "Macintosh"){
          var script = 'tell application "Finder"\nset clip to the clipboard\nend tell\nreturn clip';
          clipboard = app.doScript (script,ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);
      } else {
          var script = 'Set objHTML = CreateObject("htmlfile")\r'+
          'returnValue = objHTML.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text")';
          clipboard = app.doScript(script,ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC);
      }
      return clipboard;

Therefore, every time that I type and press the Enter key it continues paste the sentence throughout my document.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

  The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeMode

  When in Safe Mode...

  • The State of plugins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a character.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The layout of the default toolbar is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.
  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 15.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• help sites Web copy to the Clipboard, and then paste it on Facebook

  Hello...

  How can I copy and paste all the web pages I want to paste it into Facebook. In my Touchpad.

  When I click on the address of the Web site, at the top of the page, it, correctly, highlights the entire address, however, in the drop down menu, on the left, there is no option exemplary editing past etc.

  In addition, the only other way I found, is to try to send the link, then try to copy the link in the email send, however, that e-mail is the name of the web page text, providing a link to the page. So I can not stick to Facebook from the email.

  Am I mistaken.

  can I ask function to copy the web address to the Clipboard.

  Also is there an easy way to copy the web address on the Clipboard so you can paste facebook.

  Thank you. :-)

  Here's how:

  Press and hold on the link.  Depending on how long you hold that it can produce two results - for me, this usually points to the whole link then keyboard appears and the cursor go to the link.  Not a problem, now tap and hold your finger there until the bubble 'Select Select all stick them' opens.  Tap "select all" and the link has been copied to the Clipboard.  To where you want that it stuck and just hold your finger on the screen until the bubble even opens.  Choose 'Paste' and the link.

  From time to time, it works as it should - press and hold the link, it becomes yellow, tap again and the 'Copy' option bubble will appear.  I think that it depends on to know if the keyboard is displayed when you press the link.  Keyboard upwards and you touch & hold = "cut copy paste" dialog, keyboard facing downwards = the dialog box "select Select all paste them.
