A good way to get lines into a line of text?

Hi:
I'm typing up a legal-style contract-like document for someone, and the text is chock full of things where I need to have straight lines among the characters, like this:
"…in consideration of _______________ Dollars."
Thus far, I've been using the workaround of hitting command-shift-U to get the underlined text and pressing the spacebar a bunch of times. This causes some problems when the text needs to be right-aligned. Also, there are a couple of cases where I have a line with a row of text underneath it saying something like "Chairman of the Committee." In this case, I can set a rule above the line. But then, a 1-point rule is slightly thicker than a bunch of spaces set for underline, and while 99% of people would never even notice that, it's bothering the heck out of me.
So, does anyone have a more elegant way to insert a 1-point line in a row of text than my using the Line Tool to draw a 1-point line and place it in the text manually? I figure, it there's a way to do it while remaining in the text tool, my justified text will look a lot better.
Thanks in advance for any input you can give me.
Best,
Gary
PS: I'm using CS4/ID 6.0.4

Excellent suggestion, Peter.
Tabbing proved to be a little dodgy, simply because my paragraphs are set to Justify with Last Line Aligned Left, and so depending on where I am in a line of text, I'd have to get really deep into tinkering with my tab settings. But just using the space bar and tweaking the character styles yielded fine results.
Thanks!
(Now if only ID6 would print correctly when duplexing on my HP 8100 on letter-sized paper…)

Is there a way to get several serial data lines to poll and respond quickly?

I have a PCI-485/8 card where I need to use all 8 ports. Attached is the vi that I�ve developed so far. It works well when there are only 1 or 2 ports. But it really slows down the calling vi when I get up to 8 ports. The Read Delay is intended to set the polling pace, which is used to set the data logging rate. The calling vi is a timed while loop where dt = 0. Due to constraints of the polled device, I cannot set the delay less than 1200 mSec, so it�s set to 1500 mSec as a safety margin.
The poll string is !!SS0n where n is the address number and must be followed by \r\n. Because the poll must be terminated with \r\n, the termination character (for the VISA Configure Serial Port function) cannot be A or D (hex). Otherwise it sees it�s own poll, terminates, and then ignores the responding string. (The polled devices works from RS-485, 2-wire.) As a secondary question, I�d like to know if there is a way to have it ignore its own poll string. But the bigger issue is that it�s dreadfully slow (i.e. around 10 seconds) with all 8 ports configured. The goal is to have this thing run at a consistent 1500 mSec.
Please note that I may be approaching the program from a wrong direction and I�m certainly open to use a better way. For example, it may be more appropriate to obtain the data continuously instead of using a polling scheme. The devices being polled is capable of sending data continuously. However, I choose to use the polling method for three reasons. 1) The device does not send data at a continuous rate. (They are slow and not particularly stable.) 2) The provided data string is not consitent. The string varies in length, which may be the cause of the first problem. 3) There is a project scheduled where I will need to poll at least two devices on each port. (I realize that will really slow things down, but I�ll cross that bridge when I get there.) In other words, I�m open to set the devices on the ports in continuous mode if that�s the only way to get a fast and consistent system.
The application is for an off-shore oil rig where they want to monitor and log data from 8 winches that operate the anchor lines. I�m using LV 7.1, Win2000, NI-Serial v1.6. Please advise�

Split this into 3 VIs. The first configures and opens the ports (everything to the left of the VISA Writes). This VI executes before the timed loop starts. The second is in the polling loop with the Error lines passed via shift registers. This includes the Writes, Bytes at Port, and Reads. The VISA Close and the analysis are in the third VI (outside the timed loop). This prevents the program from initializing and closing the ports repeatedly, which may take much longer than you think.
Also, I would put the Reads inside a Case structure that only calls the read if Bytes at Port > 0. Some devices do not like zero byte reads.
In the end product you amy want to analyze errors programmatically and attempt to close and re-open a port with an error rathe
r than having the Error Handler holler at the user.
With Bytes at Port do you really need the delay?

What is the easiest way to get music into itunes library?

Hey everyone, what is the easiest way to get my songs into itunes without importing them one by one. For example, if you download several songs with Limewire is there a way to make them automatically download into Itunes or do you have to add file or import them manually. I tried to be slick and change the folder that the limewire was saving songs into to make it the same as the itunes library folder. I didn't do something right apparently cause I still have to either add file or import to get the songs. I wish there was a way to just auto download them into the itunes or scan the computer for new songs.

Does this software do what you want?

How to adjust splitted lines into one line in Text file?

Hi Guys,
I have a text file with 3 fields(comma separated): GLCode (Number), Desc1 (Char), Desc2(Char) and need to load it into BW.
My Text file looks like:
1011.00,"Mejor PC Infrastructure","This line is ok."
1012.00,"Telephone Equipment $","This line ends in next line.
1)Need to change the equipment immediately.
2)Take immediate action"
1013.00,"V1 Computer Server Infrastructure # Equip","For purchases
of components that make up the company's network, such as servers, hubs, routers etc."
1014.00,"Flash Drive","Need to provide all IT Developer"
This is how file looks like. Now I need the followings:
1. Need to remove the space and need to adjust the splitted line into one. Say here
line/record 2 is splitted into 3 lines and need to adjust in 1 line.
2. In Line 5 (Record 3) data splitted into 2 lines and need to make 1 line.
3. Need to remove bad characters.
Could someone help me please how to proceed ?
Regards,

Not quite correct by my testing. Try:
$i=0
Get-Content .\test.txt | ForEach {
If ($i%2){
("$Keep $($_)").Trim()
}Else{
$keep=$_
}$i++
Good catch!

Legacy Trial Balance - best way to get totals into SAP

Hi Folks,
I have a query relating to the data migration of Finance items.
What is the best process for updating the new SAP system with the legacy trial balance?
Do you journal in the Opening Trial Balance posting sub ledger items to a Data Load account?
Load the AR / AP sub ledger items via the standard load routine RFBIBL00 which will in the case of customers Debit the customer account and Credit the Data Load Account / Vendors Credit the Vendor and Debit the Data Load Account.
Could anyone please give me a step by step guide as to how to go about this?
Thanks

Hi,
The upload of GL Balances have to split into several steps:
1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
5. Further, material values are also to be updated - Material wise and this should tie with the GL Balance.
In addition, one more point to be noted is the use of Dummy / Conversion accounts for bringing in data from legacy to SAP. It is better to create five or six conversion accounts like for Assets, Liabilities, Revenue, Expenses, Materials etc. The sum of all these conversion accounts should be ZERO after completing the conversion. This way the reconciliation will become easy.
Thanks

What's the easiest way to get PDFs into iPad?

A friend has a jail broken iPad. He can drag-and-drop PDF files right into his iPad with the same ease that we can when copying a PDF file from one Mac to another (Does not use, or need iTunes).
I do NOT want to jailbreak my iPad. Is there some similar way to transfer PDFs to iPad without going through iTunes (which I find to be a hassle).

You can either use iTunes (which you've already said that you don;t want to do)
I find transferring files using iTunes difficult and tedious (compared to the drag-and-drop methods used by jail broken iPads). I put in several hours trying to transfer PDF files using iTunes and never could get it to work. Perhaps I did not have the right App on my iPad.
use a PDF app on the iPad that supports wifi transfer
Can you suggest an App that does this?
I did view the DropBox video. (The video urges one to simply download it, and never discloses the cost prior.) Also, I would never put my personal files on the cloud where they can be hacked. I want something I can simply transfer on my own network without using the Internet.

Best way to get DVD into Front Row?

I have a some non-copyrighted DVD's that I would like to get into Front Row without losing the image quality.
Any suggestions?

I just found a used hi8 camcorder locally with a dv connection so would I be better off
1)transferring 8mm cassettes into imovie as dv
or
2) transferring 8 mm cassettes to my standalone dvd recorder and then ripping them on mac, i have done this with one and takes about 2 hours to rip and encode however when dragging the mov file after dvd conversion into imovie I am getting a reading that it will take up to a day to import into imovie.
I know doing dv to mac is easier then #2 but this will cost me money since I would have to buy this 8mm recorder with a dv connection, will there be a difference of quality.
My goal in the end is to have these 15 home movies that are on 8mm tapes on an ext hd edited and as big as possible or good as possible in quality, then I would probably do more serious edits to them and save as smaller files for viewing either via front row or maybe even burning to dvds.

I restored my software on phone and now I can't get anything. The screen just has an emergency call feature and when I call it , it doesn't ring. Any idea how I can get back into the line?

How do I get the phone to work again? It has no apps on it and the only thing I can do is make an emergency call and when I call it from another line I just get voicemail. Before restoring I backed up the info but don't know how to get it restored on the phone.

Panasonic HMC150-Best Way To Get Footage Into FCS2, etc.

I've just ordered a new Panasonic AG-HMC150, to replace a Sony V1U.
A couple of questions while I'm waiting for it to get here: First, for anyone using this camera with FCS2, what's the best way to import footage? Should I connect the camera with the SDHC card mounted to the Mac via USB, and then use Log and Transfer? Or, is it better to use a separate SDHC card reader? Also, is it better to copy the files off of the card to an external HD first, and then use Log and Transfer?
Finally, in another forum I read that shooting in 720p (30 or 60?) yields better looking SD DVDs after using Compressor than 1080i; does anyone have any experience with this?
My current workflow is to shoot in 1080i with my V1U, capture to Pro Res, edit, and export with Compressor. For a 1 hour SD DVD, around 12-15 hours in Compressor (using the frame controls)
would be required.
I'm not concerned about any speed increases; my goal is just to have the best looking letterboxed SD DVDs I can get. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone might have. And to Shane, David S., and others: thanks for helping me choose a new camera--it seems to be highly recommended everywhere.

1. My practice is to copy the intact SDHC card to my media drive, and L/T from there. I copy is by write protecting the SDHC card first, and then mounting it with a SDHC compatible card reader.
2. 720 is the sweet spot for this cam. I shot 720/60 and usually encoded from there.
Hope this helps.
Note: Always format the card in the cam first. ALWAYS

Is there a way to get photos into iMovie 11 without using iPhoto?

I use PSE9 to organize my photos and don't want to use iPhoto. When I click on the little camera in iMovie, it only gives me the option of going to iPhoto. Thanks for any help.

If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

Best way to get .mp4 into FCP

My camera captures in an mp4 format that is unreadable by final cut pro. These clips are in 720p. I have played around with visualhub, ffmpegx, and mpeg streamclip trying to find the best setting to convert these clips to a usable format.
Converting to DV downscales the video, but is fairly quick.
Converting to xvid diminshes the quality, but is failry quick.
Converting to quicktime takes forever and produces enormous files.
Converting to mpeg2 or mpeg4 with h.264 works okay, but FCP has a hard time handling these files quickly (ie I can't even use the jog dial)
I have yet to find a setting or format that retains quality, is relatively quick to convert, and plays nicely with FCP. Anyone have any ideas?

mpeg and h264 are delivery formats so that is why they don't work well in FCP. They were never designed to be used that way even though it happens. You best bet is to convert to ProRes. Excellent quality even over a couple of generations, decent bandwidth and file size requirement considering today's cheap and large hard drives. But if you still thing it's too large or too time consuming then I would say welcome to HD video. It's not as quick and easy as DV. If ProRes is too much then try DVCPRO HD. Smaller files, less bandwidth.

[Solved] Good way to get ${pkg}-${ver} from the AUR?

I'm working on a script and was wondering if someone has thought of a better way to do this. I'm working on a script that will re-install packages from my local cache (i.e. AUR packages) and would like to compare them to the online version. If the online version matches the one in the cache then install the cached version. I believe it should work but gotten a bit too complex last night. To this point so was wondering if there might be a better way to do it. Here's the relevant snippet:
pkgandver="${pkg}-$(packer -Si $pkg | grep Version | awk '{ printf $3 }')"
Guess it's not that ugly but thought there might be a better way to do it, or should I just leave it be?

How about not using packer...

local_version() {
