About converting a text member to a list

Hi there everyone!
I'm trying to convert a prepared text member to a property
list.
the text cast member:
[#boxes:[#b0: [#rect: rect(61, 392, 695,
465)],#b1:[#rect:rect(501,358,688,460)],#b3:[#rect:rect(99,415,199,493)]],#points:[#p0:[# loc:point(677,428)],#p1:[#loc:point(92,397)]]
the code I tried:
a = member("walkable").text
dWalkable = value(a)
put dWalkable
but the result is always : <VOID>
how can I convert the text cast member to a property list?

The reason you are getting void is because after converting
it from a
string, what you have left is not a properly formatted list.
I think
you just need to add a closing square bracket at the end and
then it
should work.

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

Convert a text file to PDF format

Hi,
How can I convert a text(.txt) to a excel file using Powershell commands ?
At the moment I am doing the conversion with VBA, but time consuming, as its a very big file.
Kindly help.
MIG.

There are other ways around the txt to pdf. Without seeing how the txt file looks it makes it a little hard to help but below is a great link that talks about how you can use the com objects.
http://wiki.coolorange.com/display/powerjobs/Convert+office+documents+to+Pdf
If the log file is something you need in excel I would first work on converting the file to CSV and then you can use excel or if its something you can use word with I would rename the file to docx so the com object picks it up. If you can share one of the
files it would be a big help.
There is also a dll you can use that is great with working with pdf files below is the link. I you are okay with downloading a third party dll this is a great tool.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/
Searching The Forum I found the below link that is exactly what your looking for using the itextsharp dll to create pdf file from text files.

Converting a text file into a String

I need to convert a text file (in whatever format, in my case it would be xml and xsl files) in a String.
I made this methods:
public static String createStringFromFile(File f) {
        StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
        try {
            FileInputStream fInp = new FileInputStream(f);
            byte[] byteArray = new byte[fInp.available()];
            int bLetti = fInp.read(byteArray);
            if (bLetti == fInp.available()) {
                for (int i=0; i<fInp.available(); i++)
                    buf.append(Byte.toString(byteArray));
else
throw (new IOException("Errore nella lettura del file"));
fInp.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
ErrorManager.getError(e);
return (buf.toString());
public static String createStringFromFile(String fileName) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
try {
FileInputStream fInp = new FileInputStream(fileName);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fInp.available()];
int bLetti = fInp.read(byteArray);
if (bLetti == fInp.available()) {
for (int i=0; i<fInp.available(); i++)
buf.append(Byte.toString(byteArray[i]));
else
throw (new IOException("Errore nella lettura del file"));
fInp.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
ErrorManager.getError(e);
return (buf.toString());
There are no compilation or runtime errors, but the result string is empty. Not null, empty. What should I do? :)

Do you really want to use bytes and so on when java does it all for you?
Here's how I did it, hope it's useful.
public String getFileAsString(String fileName){
     StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
     try{
     BufferedReader bRead = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
     String str = "";
     while( (str = bRead.readLine()) != null ){
          buffer.append(str);
     }//end while
     bRead.close();
     }catch(Exception e){
     System.err.println("in getFileAsString(): " + e.toString());
     }//end try
     return buffer.toString();
}//end getAsString()

Find Line Number in Text Member

I would like to drop in a line of text after a specific phrase in a text member. To find the right place to drop the text, I must first determine the line number the specific phrase text is located. Now, I can use a REPEAT to walk through each line until it is found, but there must be a more elegant way. The code "Offset" is great for finding the first character number of the specific phrase, but I don't know how to glean the line number from that.
Currently this is how I do it...
repeat with xLineCount = 1 to 100
    if textDoc.line[xLineCount] contains "<specific text phrase>" then
      put RETURN & RETURN & "<new text pasted>" after textDoc.line[xLineCount]
      exit repeat
    end if
end repeat
Can anyone give me a more elegant approach this?

A more elegant approach might be to use a regular expression, but I'm not sure I understand your requirements well enough to make a sensible recommendation.
You could try the following JavaScript handler and invoke it like:
tMember.text = jsReplace(tMember.text, "<specific text phrase>", "<specific text phrase>" & RETURN & RETURN & "<new text pasted>")
function jsReplace(inStr, strFind, strReplace){
// error check input
if(typeof(inStr)      != "string") { return inStr; }
if(typeof(strFind)    != "string") { return inStr; }
if(typeof(strReplace) != "string") { return inStr; }
// search-and-replace
re = new RegExp(strFind, "g");
return inStr.replace(re, strReplace);
However, this will place the pasted text immediately after the search phrase and not at the end of the line. It is possible to do this with a regular expression, but I'd have to dust off my copy of Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions" to craft it for you and I don't have either the time or inclination at present.

How do I create a series of text frames from a list of files?

And I'm back again.
This time, I'm wondering how I can use JavaScript to place a series of text frames from a list of files, preferably with the ability to specify criteria before running the script.
Here's the details: I work for a newspaper and I lay out stories for the pages (in addition to the other part of my job, laying out ad spaces, as detailed in a previous thread, for which I requested another script, thanks Andreas and Jongware ). The file names for the stories are labeled for the section they go in, like L- for Life, C- for Comment, S- for Sports, etc.
I'd like to create a script that asks for a criteria in a text box (where I can type L-, C-, S- or whatever else I need) and then places all of the stories, in a specified directory, whose file names match what was typed in the box, one text frame for each.
I can't rightly tell if this is a simpler or more difficult script to write out, but I plan on putting research into it as usual so I can develop it myself. However, I figured it would be more efficient to ask first, then research, so that while I'm researching, I can refer to the opinions of my fellow forumites, and/or the mods.
Thanks again for any assistance offered.

Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc

What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

About updating long text in the document item with bdc of fb02

HI,
I have a question about updating long text in the document item of sap:
Can I directly updating the long text information with the fuction save_text?
The long text is in :
tcode: fb02 -->input document no ... --> Document overview --> select one document
long text --> updating the value.
Becaust I want to update some items in a G/L Account with bdc or other technique, but I found I can't choose the items in the G/L Account with bdc automatically .That means I can't get the selected items and update them.So I try to update them with the function save_text directly (I know the doc no，bukrs,fiscal year ,item no which will decide the long text item).
Who can help me ?Or is there any way to solve the problem? Thanks very much.

Yes, you can update directly using SAVE_TEXT.
Check this for the same.

How to justify the text of a bulleted list

Does anyone know if it is possible to justify the text of a bulleted list in the same way as for a paragraph? I can do it in Microsoft Word but I can't seem to do it in Illustrator.
When I justify the text of a paragraph in Illustrator it works perfectly fine. But when I do it for bulleted text, it gets all weird. Can anyone offer any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it!

The only solution I'm seeing is this older post from CS3 that directs you to use the inDesign text engine.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/467763
Typographically having a bullet list aligned other then flush left rag right seems unnatural. I would like if you could post a screen shot of the Word doc that is aligned the way you envision your text aligning in Illustrator.

How do I convert a text, word or photo to a pdf coc for E-Mail?

Install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).

Use the installed Adobe PDF virtual printer to "print" a PDF from any application that can print to an installed printer.

How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

Hi,
I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
regards,
Dipankar.

You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.

Chandra
