Script for automatic placement of several text files?
 
			 
An editor I work with is slowed by a change to their workflow. Maybe there's a whole script for help? I looked but can not find, so I post here.
Old workflow: Designers would be "automatic formatting" a single Word doc with all the preliminary pages (sometimes > 10 sections of diff.) and chapters and endnotes in a model book.
New workflow: The Word doc is now divided into 30-40 InCopy files, always destined to a single InDesign layout doc (The InCopy files were created from a Word doc marked by a different system, so that they are all new to the InDesign user.)
Y at - it a script which, according designers load a square slider with 30-40 (in the right order) files, which will allow them to simple-click on page 1, and InDesign will place one after the other files, autoflowing necessary? They still need them to be placed in individual InCopy files (so would not help concatenate Prime). I don't think that there is never a case of 2 stories being on the same page.
Thank you

Hey AnneMarie,
This script allows you to select a bunch of files and will try to place them, one by one, in your InDesign document. It will be auto-flux them according to the needs (but be careful because standing in excess of problems - because the script does not test for this).
I tested with a lot of property, but not with InCopy files because I did not. If they are adjustable as Word documents, the script must run end.
Let us know if everything works correctly for you.

Script for the use of rich text change
 
			 
I use the script below to add instructions for the use of Textfields. I would like to do the same thing with textfields in the rich text format, but this script no longer works when I put in the field to accept rich text. Can you tell me how to change the script, so it does not work in a ttext field that allows the user to enter rich text?

Hi Don,
Similar to your script above, but try this in the event enter:
if (this.rawValue === this.assist.toolTip.value) {
          this.rawValue = "";
}

and then exit on the event:
if (this.rawValue === null) {
          this.rawValue = this.assist.toolTip.value;
}

ALTER depending on the initialize event and formatting, etc.

See load test: ways to script for applications commands?
 
			 
Hello
I'm designing a simple tool for an environment of view and so far its goes pretty well load test.  With the help of command line arguments and some Powershell, I am capable of recursion through a list of users and connect multiple sessions on a display server and open office and a few RDS App sessions.  My question is: is there a built-in way to pass a script in the command line arguments run certain commands on this computer to office or RDS App session?  Nothing crazy, just type in Notepad, open a few programs, save a doc or two--the usual stuff to generate regular workloads.
I know that VMware and third party companies have tools for this, but they don't specifically meet my needs without extensive configuration and a lot of hooks in our systems.  I'm trying to keep the footprint of this test as small as possible, so a simple Powershell script is how I want to move forward.  I guess that Powershell has a method to do this, but I'm not guru script nor it is a PS forum, so I was hoping there was something that already exists when I call the view connection that I could use.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
			 
I can not completely solve your problem, but it can be a little simpler.
Q. for the "is there a built-in way to pass a script in the command line arguments run certain commands on this computer to office or RDS App session?
A. No, but you can use strategies Group (GPO) that can be activated when his connection to run a script.
BTW, for others who read this blog, "VMware View Planner" is the internal tool that can be used by customers too much for some areas of load test: VMware View Planner | United States
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
A loop through hyperlinks and add * at the end of the hyperlink source text?
 
			 
Hello
I'm sure it's very simple, but my javascript is a little rusty and a little short of time, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
I need a script that loops through all the hyperlinks in a document (no matter what styles are or are not applied). Please check the source text to see if it starts with "www" or "http".
If the source text starts with "www" or "http" then do nothing. OTHERWISE add an * at the end of the text. In other words if there is text in the document as "Click on this link" (and there had a hyperlink applied) it would be changed to "click on this link." If there is text in the document as "www.google.com" (and there had a hyperlink applied), it would remain unchanged. The hyperlinks themselves remain unchanged.
So I'm not sure what my If/else statement must be?
Links = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks;
for (i = 0; i < links.length; i ++)
{if
???
}
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Angèle
			 
How stupid. You are absolutely right. The names of hyperlink above, test script must test the hyperlink source texts. In the small sample, I have tested the script on, names of hyperlink and source texts were the same, that's why I had not spotted the questionable logic of the script. This scripts properly tests:
hlinks = app.documents[0].hyperlinks.everyItem().getElements();
re = /^(?:http|www)/;
for (i = hlinks.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
  if (hlinks[i].source.hasOwnProperty ('sourceText') && !re.test (hlinks[i].source.sourceText.contents)) {
    hlinks[i].source.sourceText.contents += '*';
  }
}

This would also explain the unexpected behavior of your / ^ j / test. (/ ^ j / tests whether a string starts with 'j' - no need to the * or the parentheses.)

Java script for counting the text boxes
 
			 
I have 10 text boxes. Y at - it somehow I can create a java script for an eleventh text box so whenever you type a number into one of the 10 text boxes it adds the value 1. By example, if you typed a number to 4 number 4 text boxes come in box 11. I googled everywhere and I just can't understand the sense. Any help would be appreciated.
			 
Of course, it is possible. Let's say the text fields are called "Text1" to "Text10" and the last of them is called "Text11"
Use this code as the custom Text11 computer code:
var total = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=10; i++) {
    if (this.getField("Text"+i).valueAsString!="") total++;
}
event.value = total;
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Is it possible to write a script for underlined text export to PDF?
 
			 
When I make changes in the financial document, I must emphasize this purpose to show what I edit, these underscore was called "markup". And then print (paper version) and gen (PDF) of the amendment, which means I have to print and gen text underlined (or called markup text) after modification.
sample PIC:
If:
Customer requires a new version of the markup, which means I have to change the last beacon color (color of the underline to the last amendments) in 'back' and then make new 'red' as this markup:
What I want:
is it possible to write a script for printing and gen only markup in the document text all open
and I want two versions
(1) all text markup gen no matter the color of the underline
(2) the red color of the markup text gen
Thank you!
			 
Hi HarveyLiu,
Why, you ask? It will export the pages who pointed out the text.
var doc = app.documents;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.underline = true;
for(var i=0;i

Need help to create a Script for the labelling of Finder of Indesign files
 
			 
Try to find a way to have a script run in InDesign CS4, who tagged a RED text file once it's been imported into InDesign.
Import multiple text files in an InDesign template. Since there are several text files in the same folder, it must somehow 'delineate' that we have imported this file and move to the next import. I created a 'service' with a keyboard shortcut Automator to label the Red file in the finder, but it would be great if we could have this occurs automatically after we imported in InDesign.
If import us the text wrong by accident and it gets missed in fermentation, it costs us a lot of money with the printer.
Thanks for all the ideas.
Jim
			 
At its heart, it's what you want to do.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
     set placeFile to choose file
     tell active document
          tell selection
               --Assumes you have preselected the picture or textbox to place file in
               place placeFile
          end tell
     end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder"
     set label index of placeFile to 2
end tell

You can expand on it pretty easily. The script for InDesign dictionary must be in the Library palette in the Applescript editor and the docs for Applescript are all online.
If you need further assistance, you may wish to ask someone to write a complete script for you to spec for real moneyz.
Best o ' luck!

Scripts for data cleansing Perf
 
			 
Hello
We currently use BB 4.4 with the new features enabled PERF. Someone at - it scripts for cleaning or truncate the Perf Data collected? 4.5 is supposed to have the function programmed in. We run the BB server on unix.
Perf Data under the $BBHOME / bbvar / perf
The files are in plain text with lines like this:
			 
Here is a not so elegant way to truncate your files in perl. You will need to set the time as a unix timestamp.
#Purge $BBPERF
@files = "grep - Rl. $BBPERF / *';"
$file (@files) {} foreach
chomp ($file);
Print "$file\n";
@data ='cat $file | AWK ' {if (\$4 > = $startTime) {print \$0}} ";
If (!) () open (FILE, "> $file"))) {print "cannot open $file: $!"} \n » ; print LOGFILE "cannot open $file: $! \n » ; next ;}
foreach $line (@data) {print FILE $line ;}
Close the FILE;

What is the limit of memory for applications Webworks? Our application does not have to charge 50% of the time.
 
			 
* This question is memory of the Z10 device only Webworks *.
We have looked EVERYWHERE and can not find an answer updated this! Also went through all the documentation.
We have created several games using HTML5 which has great sound and special effects.  Only problem, is that we have heard that some people have had memory problems with applications Webworks.
The game that we were about to publish has a 12 MB download size, but uses a 32 MB total memory. The script JS itself is only 800ko but are resources which are both loaded into memory to 12 MB, but an another 20 MB are generated on the plan procedural as the user through the levels.
It worked fine in the Simulator about 3 / 6 times, with the other 3 times drawing a blank screen. We have not tested on a device yet. The game is flowing on the desktop browser 100% of the time.  We assume that failures of loading in the card sim is due to problems of memory?
What is the total maximum memory allowed use for applications webworks? I heard that it's much lower than native applications.  We have a great game that has been in high demand for awhile now and it is very good for Blackberry players who pay for games - but unfortuntaely I'm not sure if we can publish now.
			 
There are 10 BlackBerry applications that exceed 1 GB in size and a very high memory usage. based on your numbers I do not plan to be a problem.
As a general rule, if an application causes the operating system to run out of memory, the operating system will start cleaning things upwards (starting with the offending application) to free up resources. This will result in the application of closing; not a white screen.
As a general rule, if you see a white screen on startup, it means that there was an error in the JavaScript code when loading.
Did you by chance has created a debug version and connected Web Inspector to monitor for errors when starting?
You use frames? BBUI.js, etc. ? If Yes, can you confirm that you expect for the event the window.load event * before * trying to access the document or WebWorks APIs?

Hello
That's how oracle has solved this problem.
We had rules of /HFM of calc scripts in calculation for this HFM application manager.
If oracle has asked us to remove references by running as a result of the SQL on the schema from table binaryfiles HFM hfm
delete ABC_binaryfiles where label like '% CalcRules % ';
After execution of this statement, we could open our HFM application successfully without any problem!

This handy subtitles AE script for Mac works on PC?
 
			 
Hello
Here is also after effects script, I used on the Mac for a while now (credits in header information), it generates subtitles to layer markers using a text file. It's great to burn in your subs and you do not have to enter timecode, just hit * where you want the line to appear/disappear. I hope you find it useful. My hidden agenda for the display is however if javascript there assistants can identify how to run on a pc (I searched for the original script for some time). Thanks in advance
{
Subtitle generator by! Rocky
/ / change by Colin Harman ( http://colinharman.com/ ) to work on a Mac
//
Save this code as

Create a text file with your subtitles.
Each line of text is the on-screen line.
To have several lines on the screen at the same time
just separated by the vertical bar (|) character.
for example ' character talks 1 | 2 breaks in character.
//
Create a new layer of text in your publication, adjust its position.

I think that Mac have a sequence of different transport control. Try replacing this line:
Subtext textLines [line] = replace ("|", "\x0d\x0a");
with the more generic:
Subtext textLines [line] = replace ("|", "\r");
