Script for Automator rearrange text in files only

Hey

lets say I am totally new to MAC and I really need help.

I have thousands of files inside thousands of subfolders, they have a number ranging from words in the file names separated by spaces, different types (extensions), and almost all have a word consist of sex numbers (YYMMDD) in a different location, I would spend this number at the end of the file names in the half of the records , and another script to move these sex number to the third place in the other files if exist.

example, here is a hypothetical list, but imagine that they are thousands of files inside thousands of folders and subfolders, and I don't want that to rename files

my name is tomorrow 19 and future151204.doc

I love coffee 110705 but I hate tea.xls

I don't eat breakfast 151103 everyday.pdf

130405 on behalf of humanity, docx

I 140911 like milk but I don't drink it.jpg

I like coffee with milk.tiff

My first script I'd give to move issues of sex at the end like that, of course not will be not renamed the last file.

  • 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:

  • Manual definition of the value axis scaling to a script for two or more axes file

    Hi all

    I've been using tiara for only a few days so I apologize if it's something really easy to do, but I just can't understand it. I am trying to manually set the value of 'End' for the axis is scaling of a parcel in a "report". I figured out how to set this value to one of the axis value by using the following commands:

    Dim oMy2DYAxis

    Set oMy2DYAxis = Report.ActiveSheet.Objects.Item ("2DAxis1"). YAxis

    oMy2DYAxis.Scaling.End =

    However, I can not understand how to do the same, but the value that I have on the right side of the plot for the second axis. I'm sure it must be possible to do this for each y axis, but how can it be done?

    And for extra credit! How would I be able to do a map in the report other than the 'ActiveSheet '? Is there something similar to ' Report.Sheet ("Page 1"). ... "that could be used as opposed to" Report.ActiveSheet. " ...'?

    Thank you!

    Here is an example:

    Dim oCurrSheet, iLoop

    iLoop = 1 to oCurrSheet.YAxisList.Count
    MsgBox "Y axis" & iLoop & + "\n" & _

  • advice of script for a beginner please

    I am a beginner, trying to enter VMware (winding maze lost in corridors...)

    With vSphere Client I can manually create virtual machines on our 5 ESXi host, producing an OVA of our product for distribution file.
    I am obliged to describe the process.

    Can I set up and configure virtual machines using only the ESXi console?

    VCLI (free download) allows Windows to create virtual machines on an ESXi host?

    Outline of what needs of script:

    • create a VM (this is the only bit that I was able to do it, using the console for ESXi)
    • install CentOS Linux using anaconda with kickstart script
    • Configure the virtual machine and the export

    Advice, tips or pointers to get this done will be very appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    A few answers to your questions

    1. you will need to get an ISO of the CD of CentOS and store it somewhere on a data store.

    Once this is done, you can use the cmdlet Set-CDDrive with the IsoPath parameter.

    2. use the cmdlet New-VM , something like that.

    You get the default value of the bu NIC, just specify what portgroup to connect to

    $vm = New - VM - name MyVM - ID centosGuest - NumCpu 1 - MemoryMB (1 GB / 1 MB)-DiskMb (60 GB / 1 MB)-NetworkName MyPG

    3 see forces a VM to access BIOS screen on the next reboot

    4. use the Start-VM cmdlet

    Start-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

    5 once again with the cmdlet Set-CDDrive , but the use of the HostDevice parameter

    6 see specify bootable for a virtual machine devices

    7. do not apply. You change the boot order before starting the virtual machine

    8. who could perhaps be done with the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and the bash ScriptType parameter. But I have not tested with CentOS.

    9. it's a little tricky. The external vSphere unclear when a program inside a guest what OS is finished. There are ways to send some kind of semaphores, see, for example, waiting for the customization of the OS to complete

    10. There are a lot of the cmdlet Set-availabe, i.e. Whole-VM, Set-NetworkAdapter...

  • 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.

    // It will add text frames as needed, within the margins of the page.

  • 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!

  • 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:

    back markup.jpg

    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:

    red markup.jpg

    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

  • How to create a script for the name of the channel to take and insert text on profile in CS5

    I am a silkscreen and I print my Photoshop starts. I regularly work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional color channels. I created actions to place check marks, resize images, etc. to be ready to print manually but I create for each display text labels, if they are absent from the original work.


    The files I work with have named pipes as "basic white, red, green, blue 284" etc. which indicates the color of the ink. I want to be able to do is create a script that copies the text of the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels to the top of the file, so that when I print every positive there is a label corresponding to the color of the ink.


    I don't know if this is even possible, and I am limited in my knowledge when it comes stock and no experience with scripting and have had pretty good luck in the past for actions to do what I want without unnecessary steps.


    On my target action registration, it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combined in a separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all channels of ink and fill with black to make them appear, I am happy with the steps that must be that it is not too complicated and if it could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.


    Thanks in advance!

    Something like that?

    // the color used for the text
    var black = new SolidColor();
    black.rgb.hexValue = '000000';
    // set this to space the labels
    var horizontalOffest = new UnitValue(20,'pt');

    var currentLayer = doc.activeLayer;
    var textLayer = doc.artLayers.add();
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    // font requires the postscript name of the font
    textLayer.font = "ArialMT";
    textLayer.textItem.size = new UnitValue(9,'pt');
    textLayer.textItem.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
    // set the position for the text. this sets to top right corner of the channel
    // here it is set so the text baseline ends  40pts from the right edge, 15pts down
    textLayer.textItem.position = [new UnitValue(doc.width.as('pt')-50,'pt'),new UnitValue(15,'pt')];

    (a) right click the program.

    (b) select run as administrator.

    Method 2
    a. click the Start button, type cmd. In the result of the research with the right button on cmd and select run as administrator.
    b. type cd %windir%\system 32 (Note: there is a space between the system and 32) and press ENTER.
    c. type regsvr32 vbscript.dll in the command prompt, and then press ENTER.
    d. type regsvr32 jscript.dll in command prompt, and then press ENTER.

    If the registration was successful, you should now see the following message is displayed:
    DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll successful.
    e. now right-click on the Setup file of windows cleanup utility and select run as administrator.

    Method 2

  • Automated ' Save as ' Option for the treatment of batch files?

    Hi all

    I use a batch process to watermark all my images coming out on my site Web etc and social networks.

    I ran this process in PS CS6 and this would automatically save the files with predefined file (save as .jpg) as planned options. I would not intervene at all, just let it run in the background. However after the 2015.5 of CC PS, it is prompting me to "save under" after that each individual picture is a watermark. Is not really viable as I can sometimes be the treatment of hundreds of photos at once. I save the picture watermark to a new location and do not want to use the names of existing files, I do not know I do something wrong, but I don't particularly want to do a new action to save to a new location for each specific set of photo, I'll take. Any suggestions?

    -Roger

    Simply record the action for the watermark in your image with no. save step.  Then use the Image or the Image Processor plugin Pro processor script.  Set the script to save as many image files and file types that you need size and save where you want and have the script includes your action processing of image files from source to watermark your images...

    Hello experts,

    I use Adobe Forms in SAP.

    My question is, is there a any restriction for additem keyword in JavaScript?

    I mean, even if I use the keyword additem to add the name and value of a drop-down list, it adds up to 10000 files only.

    Please sugest

    A drop-down list is the bad INTERFACE design where an element can contain more than 100 entries. It is very good in tests, but absolutely unacceptable if the form must be used by a person busy doing their work. The choice of Acrobat forms are limited, but consider a list box. Despite this, there may be limits imposed by the system or the implementation.

    Better would be

    (a) stop filling after awhile the list and add an entry saying several elements not shown, running report or use better filter

    (b) be available for all filtering of course lists
