• Script to rename work with layer names plans

  I want to create a script to rename lots a number of work plans.

  -J' have 100 named layer.

  -J' have 100 work plans.

  -I would like to rename work plans to match the layer names.

  -Layers are organized in the same descent orderas work plans (ignoring the names real artboard *).

  -The plan of work in the foreground (1 in the list) would be renamed "Journal", the second plan of work would be renamed "typewriter", the third work plan would be renamed "books", etc..

  * in the example below, the artboard named 'Graphic Board 7' is actually the 6th work plan in the list.

  

  Any help would be wonderful.

  Hi sensibleworld, welcome to the forum.

  For your case, it should be fairly simple. The following excerpt from script bit renames work plans to match the corresponding layer names that you described in your first post above. It only works if the number of layers and work plans correspond to such indicated and talked about in your above description of requirements.

  if (app.documents.length == 0) {
      alert("No Open / Active Document Found");
  } else {
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      if (doc.artboards.length == doc.layers.length && doc.layers.length == doc.artboards.length) {
          for (var i = 0, l = doc.artboards.length; i < l; i++) {
              var ab = doc.artboards[i];
              ab.name = doc.layers[i].name;
          }
          alert("Finished:\nRenaming of Artboards to match Layer names is complete");
      } else {
          alert("Opps: This wont work!\n The number of Layers and Artboards do not match");
      }
  }
  

  I hope that this is useful for your efforts and your requirements. Welcome back to the forum.

• How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

  How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

  You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

  One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

• Activity FTP - mget several files with dynamic names

  Hi all
  
  Hope everything goes well.
  
  I was wondering if there was a way to configure the FTP activity to transfer several files with dynamic names to location of the source on a daily basis.
  
  For example, my source files are set with date values (source_filename_ < MMDDYYYY > _ < hh > .txt):
  source_filename_12252009_00.txt
  source_filename_12252009_06.txt
  source_filename_12252009_12.txt
  source_filename_12252009_18.txt
  
  I would like my process flow to do would be to download just the 4 day files based on a script ftp dynamic as follows:
  
  Open ${Remote.Host}
  ${Remote.User}
  ${Remote.Password}
  CD ${Remote.RootPath}
  invites to the wide
  mget?
  quit smoking
  
  In the script of DOS commands, you would have with a wildcard as mget command:
  mget source_filename_%DATE:~0,2%%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~4,4%*.txt
  
  How should be done on the implementation of this in OWB? It requires a user-defined substitution varilable any?
  
  FYI, I use version 10 gr 2.
  
  
  See you soon.

  Hello

  If you are able to achieve your goal of a script of DOS commands, then you can call this script for a user defined, OWB process flow activity.
  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

• Number of folders in my files with strange names

  I have installed 11 items, imported images, now have thousands of files with strange names.

  Still for delete.

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall items, but the foders were still there.

  How bulk can remove these files, or manually uninstall so that I can remove all items?

  

  I seem to have solved the problem.

  I deleted "My catalog", after making a new catalog (required).

  On importing for the first time, I selected 'images' of file import.

  This time, instead, I chose all files from inside 'images' & the right file names are given, and none of the thousand of false records appear.

  Also may be a factor? I have my mac os x "photos" folder on a 2nd drive internal alias the original position of the OS disk.

• Two patterns with similar name

  I am facing a strange problem, when you dump import two schemas with the very similar name were created. Apparently, the names are name but actually not. I want to drop the username by user_id = 122. How I can do this.
  

  SQL> select username,user_id,account_status from dba_users where username='SECURITY';
  
  USERNAME                 USER_ID ACCOUNT_STATUS
  ------------------------------ ---------- --------------------------------
  SECURITY                     129 OPEN

  SQL>  select username,user_id,account_status from dba_users where username like 'SECURITY%';
  
  USERNAME                 USER_ID ACCOUNT_STATUS
  ------------------------------ ---------- --------------------------------
  SECURITY                     129 OPEN
  SECURITY                     122 OPEN

  Apparently, you need find the extra white space.
  The trick to show them that I always use is to concatenate a character printable or unused to column_name, so I can see the white space.
  If the name is actually 'SECURITY', you must use

  Drop user 'SECURITY ';

  One more step.

  I just need to remove the extension .indd.

  My file name is now

  myDocument.indd - 01 - title.jpg

  If (app.documents.length! = 0) {}

  myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  MakeJPEGfile();

  }

  else {}

  Alert ("Please open a document and try again.");

  }

  function MakeJPEGfile() {}

  for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter< mydoc.pages.length;="" mycounter++)="">

  If (. appliedSection.name myDoc.pages.item (myCounter)! = "") {}

  myDoc.pages.item (myCounter).appliedSection.name = "";

  }

  var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item (myCounter) .name;

  var myJpegPrefix = "";

  var isStyleExist = true;

  Audit of the existing paragraph style (filename)

  try {}

  myDoc.paragraphStyles.item ("title");

  }

  {} catch (MonErreur)

  isStyleExist = false;

  }

  If (isStyleExist)

  myJpegPrefix = getParagraphContent (myDoc.paragraphStyles.item ("title"), myDoc.pages.item (myCounter)) + '-0 "+ myPageName;

  app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high; low medium high maximum

  app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 72;

  app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;

  app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = myPageName;

  var CheminMonFichier = "" ~/-client/JOYS - just organize your Stuff Art / /-art-book-kindle / "+" / "+ myDoc.name +"-"+ myJpegPrefix +".jpg";

  var myFile = new File (myFilePath);

  myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.jpg, myFile, false);

  }

  }

  The new feature, but it will add filename rules checking.

  function getParagraphContent (paragraphStyle, currentPage)

  {

  var paragraphContent = null;

  for (var c = 0; c)< currentpage.textframes.length;="">

  {

  for (var i = 0; i)< currentpage.textframes.item(c).paragraphs.length;="">

  {

  If (currentPage.textFrames.item (c).paragraphs.item (i) .appliedParagraphStyle is paragraphStyle)

  {

  paragraphContent = currentPage.textFrames.item (c).paragraphs.item (i) .silence;

  Remove the spaces and returns at the end:

  paragraphContent = paragraphContent.replace (/ \s+$ /, ");

  Replace the remaining spaces with hyphen:

  paragraphContent = paragraphContent.replace (/ \s + / g, '-');

  Make lowercase:

  paragraphContent = paragraphContent.toLowerCase ();

  Return paragraphContent;

  }

  }

  }

  Return paragraphContent;

  }

• Problem with rename file with applescript

  It seems very stupid to ask, but I am VERY new to the apple scripts and trying to learn it.

  I get an error with the following script. I'm setting up of automator to take a file placed in a folder with folder actions implemented. But I get an "unknown error".

  It should take the file and rename it to the content of the text in the Clipboard and preserve the extension.

  tell application "Finder" to activate
  tell application "Finder"
     set theExt to name extension of theFile
     set the clipboard to «class ktxt» of ((the clipboard as text) as record) # remove styles from the clipboard
     set theNewname to the clipboard
     set name of theFile to theNewname
     set name extension of theFile to theExt
  end tell
  

  You don't need to activate the Finder unless you want to come to the fore and, as you are already down a file in a folder, I think it's already there!

  I don't really understand your workflow to understand what you put into the Clipboard, so it would need to be a tweak if this script does not work for you.  While you can set the name explicitly extension, I just built the new name, including the extension in the newName variable.

  NOTE: I put a test in preventing the name change goes forward.  If you don't want that, remove the otherwise.  As always, make sure that you have a backup!

  say application 'Finder '.

  the value theExtension for name extension of dittos

  oldName put to the name of dittos

  set newName to (Clipboard) & "." & theExtension

  display the dialog box 'Are you sure you want to rename' oldName & "to" & newName buttons {"Yes", "No"}--delete this line and two others below if you do not want to check

  If the button returned of the result is 'Yes' then - delete

  the value name of dittos to newName

  end If - remove

  end say

• batch rename files with wildcards

  How can I batch rename 100 files so that I change only the first four characters of a name of fifty character where the last 30 characters are different for each file name?  To BACK the rename command would work with wildcards, but my files names are too long for BACK.  I tried the select all, press F2 and change the first, but all the characters changed instead of just the characters that I have edited.

• Creation of stand-alone executable file with similar library files without errors of link

  I have an Executive Test that is run on two different test systems. Each stand has another card ARINC429. The old card use 429dll32.lib, while the most recent map use pci429.lib. Test Exec code only loads a single library file (using LoadExternalModule) depending on what the test bench has the card, but since there are many similar functions in both, ICB does not test Exec be built as a stand-alone executable.

  In CVI 5.0.1 I opens the "Create stand-alone executable file" and select "add files to the executable. I check the 429dll32.lib and the pci429.lib to include in the creation of executable, and then click 'OK '. When I click 'OK' to create the executable I have several link errors, one for each function both .lib files have in common.

  Is it possible for each of these .lib files to be included in the compilation without having to create two separate executables?

  eatmontr:

  If you use LoadExternalModule(), you need not include the .lib files in the Executive test project.  Refer to the CVI for LoadExternalModule help.

  Here's the info on the help:

  LoadExternalModule loads an external object module file. You need not list the file in your project or loaded as a module of an instrument.

  The file may be an object (.obj) file, a library file (.lib) or a library (.lib) import DLL.

  Here are a few articles to OR who can help.

• Reading files with dynamic names

  Hello
  
  In a graphic Integrator, is it possible to set up a component of reading to read a file whose name is dynamic as a variable? Or lets say using the Clover.bat script, can I pass the file name to the curve?
  
  Thank you

  Yes. I suggest to create a parameter for the name of the file (for example ${filename}) and then passing to your chart when you call to run.
