  • Need a little help. Script to export the single document for different types of files.

    Hey guys, I'm new to scripting. have looked everywhere but cannot find an answer to this, I'm sure it's pretty simple


    At work we export logos all the time in a few different formats for the clients.
    I looked in the script as a way to automate the process.

    So far, I thought a little script to export my Illustrator formats document... now I need to be able to export this document even outside as a res low and high PNG, low and high res JPEG, EPS, PDF and TIFF etc.
    I have scripts to do all these separately but just need to know how to put it all in a single script I can do all at once

    Here is an example of my two different scripts to export PNG. I just need to know how string together so I can add all of the formats without breaking it.

    function savePNG() {}
    var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select the folder to export the PNG files to :');")
    If {(destFolder)
    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}
    var Nomdoc = app.activeDocument.name.match(/^.*[^.ai]/i);
    var destFile = new file (destFolder + ' /' + Nomdoc + "-HR.png");
    if(destFile == null) {return ;}
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var artRect = doc.artboards [0] .artboardRect;
    var exportOptions = new ImageCaptureOptions;
    exportOptions.resolution = 300;
    exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
    exportOptions.transparency = true;
    doc.imageCapture (destFile, artRect, exportOptions);
    }
    }
    }
    savePNG();

    and here is the version low resolution

    function savePNG() {}
    var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select the folder to export the PNG files to :');")
    If {(destFolder)
    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}
    var Nomdoc = app.activeDocument.name.match(/^.*[^.ai]/i);
    var destFile = new file (destFolder + ' /' + Nomdoc + "-LR.png");
    if(destFile == null) {return ;}
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var artRect = doc.artboards [0] .artboardRect;
    var exportOptions = new ImageCaptureOptions;
    exportOptions.resolution = 72;
    exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
    exportOptions.transparency = true;
    doc.imageCapture (destFile, artRect, exportOptions);
    }
    }
    }
    savePNG();

    Thanks for any advice you can give!

    Oh, you want to perform two functions, one after another at the same time? then just name with different names and perform one function after another, if all files will be saved in the same folder, the argument selectDialog move method on each of your functions to don't do only once.

    function savePNG_HR(){
        var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder to export the PNG files to:');
        if (destFolder) {
            if(app.documents.length > 0){
                var docName = app.activeDocument.name.match(/^.*[^.ai]/i);
                var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + docName + " - HR.png");
                if(destFile == null){return;}
                var doc = app.activeDocument;
                var artRect = doc.artboards[0].artboardRect;
                var exportOptions = new ImageCaptureOptions;
                exportOptions.resolution = 300;
                exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
                exportOptions.transparency = true;
                doc.imageCapture(destFile, artRect, exportOptions);
            }
        }
    }

        var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder to export the PNG files to:');

  • Script to export the virtual disk information in a specific format

    Hi all

    First too all the Scripting Guys who I borrowed the code here, thank you!

    Now, I was able to get all the information I want vcenter but I have problems with two of the scripts I wrote.  It is with regard to obtaining information on the virtual disks associated with all virtual machines in the environment.

    I was able to export the data, but I get a line by VM that does not work for the way in which we want to use the data.

    What I am looking for is a csv export with one line per virtual machine that looks like:

    VM number 1, hard disk number 1 name number 1 datastore, path of vmdk number 1 hd, hd number 1 capactity, number 1 hd, hard drive controller number 2 name,... up to 7

    name of number 2 VM...

    Thank you!

    Alec

    OK, I see what happened.

    The 2nd block is to create empty properties in the object.

    The value should be $null like this

    $report = @()foreach($vm in Get-VM){  $row = New-Object PSObject -Property @{Name = $vm.Name}  $i = 1  Get-HardDisk -VM $vm | %{    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk #$($i) Name" -Value $_.Name -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk #$($i)" -Value $_.FileName.Split("/")[1] -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)path" -Value $_.FileName -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Capacity(MB)" -Value ($_.CapacityGB*1024) -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Controller" -Value ($_ | Get-ScsiController).Name -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Datastore" -Value $_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[') -MemberType NoteProperty    $i++  }  while($i -le 8){    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk #$($i) Name" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk #$($i)" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)path" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Capacity(MB)" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Controller" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $row | Add-Member -Name "Disk$($i)Datastore" -Value $null -MemberType NoteProperty    $i++  }  $report += $row}

  • Script to export the VC roles/Permissions/objects

    I need a script to the list of all the roles in VC, users/groups assigned to the role, and the role object is assigned to. I want only the list of objects that have a role assigned to them. I would also like to be able to export this info into a csv file if possible. If anyone has a pre-made script that can do it, it would be very useful. I was looking for some sort of get-permission or the cmdlet get-vmpermission to achieve this, but cant seem to find anything. Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Jason

    Get permissions is a filter I wrote, see the script in the use of role identifier.

    Again not in this thread.

    The line example I gave was just a new version of the last line of the script in the use of role ID to show how to export the result to a CSV file.

    The parameter - Useculture is new in PowerShell v2. Sorry should have left this.

    I use it because it solves the problem we had in PS v1 with the separator.

    By default, the separator is a comma, but in our locale, it is defined as the semicolon.

    Without the parameter - Useculture the Export-Csv cmdlet always uses a comma, with this setting, need the separator defined in the regional settings.

    Your last question, Yes, you can limit the scope of the Get-Onventory cmdlet with the - Location parameter.

    If, for example, only wanted a report for a specific data center, you can do

    Get-Inventory -Location (Get-Datacenter ) | Get-Permissions | Export-Csv -Path "C:\permissions.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    
  • Script to export the names of swatch as a text delimited by tabs?

    Howdy!

    I run the screen printing Department at a large shipping company, and as we grow, we are trying to integrate & computerize our workflow. 95% of the creations that we have on file are built like spot color in Illustrator.

    We are trying to automate some functions here at the Department, producing of the screen, as a computerized inventory of the screens at hand. When we have a screen of images, you will get a barcode label and then we can * beep * in the inventory. When get us a screen we can * beep * out of the inventory. My thought is that it would be a metric ton faster than to wander around the store looking for screens when clients placed reorders.

    To do this, I learned to generate a worksheet with the name of each color in the drawing in its own field of a spreadsheet, so that they can be used to fill our inventory system and are they assigned SKU.

    I can do it manually, but it'll take some time. What I was hoping somehow without enthusiasm for a was a way to export the names of all shades spots used in a design in the form of text, if all goes well delimited by tabs so that it can be copy / pasted into a spreadsheet.

    Am I crazy?

    Chris, sorry the above is NO AppleScript that goes into app Apple's Script Editor. ExtendScript is, what to do to use it is caillet & in ExtendScript Toolkit. This should be installed with CS and is expected to be in you "Adobe Utilities" folder / utilities. Open this app make new document paste the above and save the file with what you want to call it with the file suffix/extension ".jsx. Quit Illustrator pop this file in the folder "Scripts" illustrators "Presets" relaunch Illustrator, he should be here. It requires in fact any Illustrator.

    Let me know how you go.

  • Export the result to an Excel file

    I use the attached script to export the inventory then as excel file. I used LucDtechnical of this post to store information in a CSV temp and later, save them to a XLS file. I need to perform a certain formatting in the report, as to change the size of the font of the header, adding some background colors.

    Do not the formatting as I am exporting to a CSV file. Is there another way to achieve the formatting?

  • How to export the virtual machines in the top 10 of the questions?

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a way to script and export the TOP 10 virtual machines that had problems (cpu, memory, disks)

    and if there is a way to export each number to another worksheet or a different line.

    Thanks in advance!

    A slightly different approach, we use the group object to create an object for each virtual computer with the highest CPU usage.

    Of those that we have, then take the 10 with the highest value.

    $cpuWatermak = 90 $vms = Get-VM $metric = "cpu.usage.average" $start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
    
    $stats = Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Stat $metric -Start $start -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $stats | where {$_.Instance -eq "" -and $_.Value -ge $cpuWatermark} |Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Entity.Name}},Timestamp,Value |Group-Object VM | %{
      $_.Group | Sort-Object -Property Value -Descending | Select -First 1} |
    Sort-Object -Property Value -Descending |Select -First 10
    

    Note that we use only records where the Instance is empty, these are averages aggregated over all hearts.

  • Export the coordinates of line endpoint?

    Hello

    I'm in desperate need of a script to export the coordinates of lines, or paths, it does not really matter in a text document.

    I have configured my sovereign so the value 0.0 is at the center of the image, because I need to 0.0 and - 0, -0 to work for what I have in mind, essentially using a document such as a great Cartesian grid, which you can then extract coordinated "edges" or endpoints of the lines.

    A little history on why I need, for anyone curious. I found a way to build new worlds/cards for a game that generates the from field of the "borders", which are drawn on, on a 2d plane, but I need the coordinates to map these limits correctly. I could do it manually, where I would spend my mouse on each edge or end point of the line, but it would save a LOT of time.

    I would be incredibly grateful if someone can help out me. I tried looking for scripts or other software, but have failed at all for what I really need.

    The way I have my document setup is, 1 pixel per cm, 16384x16384cm. It's big enough, so most of the "Graphic" software do not work for her. The grid itself works well enough, I just need a decent way to export contact information.

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit:

    Here, I made an example of a rectangle for you guys give the idea of what coordinates I would need:

    var dataFile = new File('~/desktop/exportData.txt');
    var doc = app.activeDocument;

  • Script that returns the name of the user

    Hello, I have a fairly complex script that exports the text of an InCopy document. Is InCopy CS3 and is running on a Windows 2003 platform. It would be useful as this script to find out who is the user, that is who runs the export. Has anyone written a script that removed the username and group ads, the OS, or in fact InCopy. The solution, I think, perhaps by calling an external script that queries the operating system and returns this kind of data. Any thoughts on this topic would be appreciated. Thks, Wil

    On Windows, you can get the name of the user like this:

    Alert ($.getenv ("username"));

    or

    alert ((Folder.temp + "") .slice (12, -14));

    1 export the two pages in format PDF separated two - so NOT a single PDF file with two pages but two PDF files

    2. the first PDF file must have the same name as the document - for example .indd13ESW110020216TC0-> ESW110020216TC013.pdf
