XML files are being read as PBEM game file format!!

Hello,
I am trying to edit some .xml files in Script Editor but everytime I try to open them I am told :
'Script Editor cannot open files in the "PBEM game file" format'
(Double clicking the .xml file opens up the Big Bang game)
Does anyone know how to get round this? also is Script Editor the best application to use? I want to use an editor that has colours.
Many thanks, rob

Script Editor has one purpose - editing and compiling AppleScript.
I can't account for the wording of the error message, but for sure I wouldn't expect it to handle XML files directly.
You could use AppleScript to manipulate the XML data, but that's probably not ideal either.
What you need is a text editor. BBEdit would be my first choice, or its cheaper (read: free) sibling TextWrangler.
Both can handle any type of text file, including syntax highlighting for many structured files including programming source code.

How to check if a file is being read by another program?

Hey all,
I just have a few question for a project I am doing:
How do I check if a file is being read by another program?
How do I check how many lines it read?
How do I get Keyboard input from the user when he is using another program other than mine? Ex: Pressing Ctrl-G to take a screenshot.
How can I halt another program from reading a file when it already opened it? Ex: The other program opened a file and began reading. Now it is at line 2 and I want to make it skip 10 lines and contontinue.
Thanks,

How do I check if a file is being read by another
program?This is about the only partially sensible question you asked. But the answer is that unless you use some native code, you can't.
How do I check how many lines it read?It doesn't even make sense to ask this question. First of all, what's a "line" anyway? Files are just sequences of bytes. A "line" is only in the interpretation of those bytes, such as if it contains <cr><lf> sequences an application may choose to render the contents of those bytes as logical "lines" of string sequences. Second of all, why the heck would it matter to you how many bytes have already been read by some other process(es)?
How do I get Keyboard input from the user when he is
using another program other than mine? Ex: Pressing
Ctrl-G to take a screenshot.You want to spy on other applications? Shame on you, Mr. Spyware creator.

File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS. When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file. We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux. We
can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted. We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
Thanks
Peter

All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones. The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard. If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

Communication Channel marked all files as being read on FTP

The Mailbox FTP has all the files flagged as being read when a single file is read through a communication channel. I manually unflagged the status field so all files had a status of N so none were pulled. I had 14 files for this test flagged as N.   I turned off all our CCu2019s. I activated one that was pulling the last file in the list based on the Service Ref# which is unique file name. I refreshed the dir of the FTP several times as the CC was running. One by one as the flag was changed to Y (file read) from top to bottom. It only took a second for each one until it got to three very large files and the status stopped while it was reading the file. After a minute it continued to change the flag until it read the last one.   All 14 files on the ftp now had the status flag changed to Y. It appears it actually read the file content one by one and set the flag until it was done. Do you have any ideas why it would do this? From a dos prompt I donu2019t have any of these issues so Iu2019m guessing itu2019s something unique in the SAP FTP adapter that is doing it?
From a dos prompt I can successfully do a get 003520827870964903 c:data.txt and it will only update that ST flag for that one file as being read. I can also do a get %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 c:data.txt and it will only flag the four files as being read that have that Mailbox/APRF value. Now I'm trying to get my CC to do the same but no matter what I try it marks all six files as being read.   I have in my source directory %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 and * for a file name and this will mark all files as being read when activated.   I have entered 003520827870964903 for a file name to further qualify and it still marks all files as being read. It seems to be getting the file I want cause when I view the communication channel monitor it shows the right data in the payload but it always refers to another file for the archive / delete / test option from the processing tab. There are no problems having a CC write a file out using similar parms for Mailbox/APRF, but trying to read a single file using the Service Ref # or a collection of files using a Mailbox/APRF mask seem to update the status for all files as being read. Any suggestions are welcome.

Have you installed any apps that auto display the emails when they come in? If so the auto read feature may be triggering this, I had a app at one time that showed my emails in the preview window and it made the emails be listed as read... I would check your apps and make sure you are not using something like this unknowingly.

Special characters being read from the unicode file for greek language

Hi All,
I have a report which would upload a unicode file and then update the vendor master data accordingly.
The file contains greek characters too.
when the file is being read in the code, some special characters are being added up to the vendor number which is the first entry. The special characters are not included in the file , but are added up only to the first vendor number and not any other vendor numbers.
The logic that is being used is as follows :

My CR2 files are being saved as PNG and not PSD

When I import files into Elements 12 Organizer, I want to use the Instant Fix Smart Fix option. The CR2 files are being exported to the PNG format, and I want them to be PSD files, I don't have a way to return to the options of how to save my files by using the Instant Fix button. I really would appreciate some help on this. I can't seem to get any tech support by navigating the Adobe Web site - I always land in the Forums.

In PSE12, whenever I want to use the smart fix option in the organizer for a raw file, I get a dialog with various format options and the possibility to check one of those formats by default. If I check the checkbox to always use that format and not to display the menu, I find myself in the same situation as yours.
I don't know of a way to get the menu back... Deleting the organizer preferences should help, unless other users have a better idea.

AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
Ideas? Help please.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

HT1339 My nano won't restore, it says it can't because "files are being used" Please help me get the "chipmunk's and Beiber" off my ipod!!!

I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???

First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start up to where it is ready to use.
Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring.

Flash player in Firefox acts as if keyboard buttons are being held down during games

I am running Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 for Firefox. While playing flash games online, I often notice that the game thinks that a button is being held down on the keyboard. I have not noticed a patten as to which games are affected or which buttons are being "pressed", but a game that is affected will always act as if the same button is being pressed. For example, one game will always be pressing "Left" (the A key), even when I shut down all processes or restart the browser or computer. Another game will always behave as if the Pause button is being pressed, causing the pause menu to constantly appear and disappear. I have opened these games in Internet Explorer and did not have the same problem. Anyone else having these problems, or have any suggestions?

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
THAT'S a full offline installer.
Save it.
CLose your browser.
Run it.
You're good to go.

Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. Thanks

I get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

Recording which articles are being read

I want to create a cloud tag of popular topics
What i need to work out
1. How to record which articles are being read
2. How to display these in a tag cloud
3. Then when a user clicks on a tag - all the articles which
similar
tag are displayed
What i have done so far (how am i going?)
Db called tags
Tables
tag, article title, article url, article description
# each article has a few different tags
e.g
article for preventing std has the following tags
std, sex, safe sex, HIV
# the article itself doesnt exist in the database as i read
this
wasn't good for SEO. so the article itself exists on a static
page.
I have close to 100 medicla articles and add about 4 or 5 a
month
so i would love to get this working to save me time and
effort.

Have been using this code from the pete frei tutorial - cloud
tags -. It is working fine.
In the case of my database, each article has 3 tags
associated.
So there are 3 fields as opposed to 1 from which to count the
tags.
How could I adjust the code to take accountfor this?
Also I am a begineer so if you had the time to provide a
short explanation that would also be great.

New user- all my files are now read only -

I am using a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with Windows XP and my husband has a Dell Dimesion 4600 desktop. Two weeks ago I installed a Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB adapter on his computer and then installed a WRT54G v.6 wireless router. All is working fine for internet connection. Today I discovered all my files are now read only and even when I uncheck the read only box and click apply, then close the file, on re-opening it it is again read only. Even the files on my external hard drive are now read only.
I am backtracking to see where a change was made that was unintended and the wireless router was the last thing I installed. Is there a connection? And if so, can someone help me make the necessary changes or tell me where to find out?
I read through a lot of messages but did not immediately see this situation addressed.
Sandra

seems to be an OS issue , because there is nothing on the router setting that could change the configuration on the computer....try System Restore....can't think of anything else at this point...
