Add Delete Characters to rename function

At times it is useful to remove characters from file names. This is not possible at present with the rename function. (As a work around, I wrote an AppleScript to that does it in the Finder.)
Add thge following options:
"Delete" -- box to enter number -- "characters from front of file name".
"Delete" -- box to enter number -- "characters from end of file name".
The extension should be preserved, unless change is requested with another change option.
Because the underscore character "_" is used in many file names, it would also be nice to have:
"Delete" -- box to enter number -- "characters before '_' ".
"Delete" -- box to enter number -- "characters after '_' ".
If for any reason the deletion of more characters after the '_' is requested than there are characters in a file name, only the existing characters should be deleted. File extensions should never be deleted or truncated.

Agree - refer to my request a couple of days ago

  • My add/delete row function is unselectable. How do I fix this?

    For no reason that I can guess I am unable to add or delete rows. That little circle icon with the two horizontal dashes is gone and when I click on a numbered row the 'add/delete row' choices are grayed out, unelectable. My spreadsheet needs are VERY basic so I'm at a loss for what has happened because I've been using this file. It WAS working like it should, but now it's not and I don't know if I clicked something OFF or what. I am not new to a Mac, so I'm not a newbie with this stuff. Any ideas??????

    Try deactivating any filter you have set on the table.

  • How to add/delete rows on the form without saving data

    I am new to apex
    I am working on project and need some help on creating a form
    my requirment is to save a request that has multiple questions.
    i have a request form with multiple regions
    On one of the region that takes questions, I want to create a tabular form such that i can add/delete/update row without hitting database and enter multiple questions
    each row is one question.
    Apex has the default functionality of having a tabular form linked to a table that onload shows the data from that table and also on click of add or delete hits the data base to save the data.
    However i want to load a form that does not show any data if its a new request and click of add/delete should not update the databse. It should just add/delete a row on the form
    so user logs in and can create a request that has multiple questions
    finally want to submit the form and save all the information of the form in multiple tables.
    As of now i a m able to have a simple form and a process that save 1 question per request.
    How do i achieve this. Please assist.

    Do that using collections like in this example:

    Once you are done, you may decide either to save that or to clean it up.

  • How to add/delete single role to/from CUA

    Hi All,
    I want to add/delete single role from CUA system. I found one FM to change roles i.e BAPI_USER_LOCACTGROUPS_ASSIGN , In function module documentation said that it will overwrites all existing roles with the roles in the table parameter.I dont want to do that. I need a FM to add/delete role to CUA system. Please help me with your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Suman

    I am not aware of another BAPI based way to do it. You will need to get the details of the Roles AND manual profiles assigned, and then re-assign the new set in the call.
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to add/delete music to my iPhone/iPad directly through Time Capsule?

    I understand it is a long shot, but I also feel like Apple technology isn't far off from having this function. Let me explain:
    My MacBook serves me one function: acting as an interface for adding/deleting/editing my music for my devices (iPhone & iPad). It is the only reason why I still have my MacBook, and quite frankly, I'm sick of using it.
    Have we reached a point where I can finally eliminate the need of having this MacBook?
    All of my 500+ GBs of music has already been organized in iTunes (my way). The files are stored in my current external hard drive. My library is visible from iTunes but you can't play songs unless my hard drive is connected. What I currently do in order to swap music, is light up the hard drive and my MacBook, plug in my device and add/delete through iTunes. It is such a grueling process that always takes way more time than I'd like it to.
    My main question: Can you access the contents of your Time Capsule from your iPhone/iPad?

    I understand this might go beyond your understanding but a little input would be great. This isn't really a question, more like an idea:
    Ideally, I would have all 500 GBs of my music on my device at all times. Realistically, this is impossible until iPhone15 is out... so how about in the meantime, there is an app you can download that works in conjunction with hardware you need to buy seperately. The hardware acts as an external hard drive that stores all your music, and the app acts as the interface. All you need to do is connect the devices, and drag and drop with your finger. It seems so incredibly simple. I don't understand why this technology doesn't exist.
    I assume you know more about limitations and things like that. I just wanted to get a discussion going.

  • Java FX Script, how to dynamically loadm add, delete document objects ?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to programmatically load the object Hierarchy of a java FX document, to add, delete, update objects proporties or to call function and operations.
    Is it possible to assign 'id' or 'name' to objects, to have later have references on them in the java FX script.
    exemple of object tree to parse :
    -Canvas

  • Adding/Deleting T codes to roles. Finding the correct roles to add/delete T

    Hi Folks
    I would like solutions to 3 questions.
    1) How do you Add/Delete transaction codes to roles (ECC6)
    2) How do you find the correct roles to Add/Delete these T codes
    3) Has anyone any documentation and or screenshots on Versa, the Compliance Calibrator.
    We are using single roles within composite roles.
    Useful answers will be rewarded.
    Thank you very much
    Mark W

    Hi Mark,
    Typically the functional team or organisational design team will specify the roles required and the transaction assignment to those roles.  By working with them, you can understand what part of the business processes the roles represent and get an idea about which transactions go in what roles.  They will also be able to advise if a new role is required id a transaction is missing.
    The allocation of tx to roles should only be approved by role owners or appropriate responsible resource, and they should stipulate exactly which roles those tcodes go into.  If you have not been involved in the role design then it is not appropriate for them to expect you to make those kind of decisions.
    All of the recent compliance calibrator docs are on the service marketplace, I'm sure that the basis team on your current project will either give you their OSS ID to let you download them, or alternatively will download the docs for you if they have concerns about sharing the ID.  From memory, if you have security certification, you should be able to get an individual OSS ID from SAP.
    There is some high level info available from www.sap.com/grc and a brief overview of an install of CC5.1 here: http://www.*********************/sox_sod/sox_sod.htm
    Hope that helps
    Cheers

  • Wish to add / delete auto-programmed channels on model 24L4200U

    I wish to add / delete auto-programmed channels on my Toshiba model 24L4200U so that only my favorite programs scroll via the up-down toggle on the remote. This function is usually part of the set-up, but I cannot find it after scrolling through all menus. The instructions packed with the TV don't cover this topic, nor is there a manual available online for this model (too new?).
    This seems like a simple task, but I am stumped ... hope there is a simple answer. Thanks!

    I had a hard time too.  Go into the Setup menu, then Installation, then Channel Options.   Check the first column for channels you wish to skip.
    Found that answer in the manual here:

  • While I delete characters in firefox, it deletes two characters

    Hello there! I have been using Mozilla Firefox for a long time. Now I have problems. While I delete characters in firefox, it deletes two characters at once and the arrows (forward, upward, etc.) do not work at all. The forward delete is not working. Please help me. Thanks!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Using Java, How can I Update, Add, Delete nodes in XML Files.

    Hi,
    I want to store the student record (like Name, Age, school name, total mark etc.,) as nodes in the XMLfile. Also I should able to Update, Add, Delete any nodes (student record) in the XML file. How can I achieve this...using Java
    I am able to read the content of the xml file using xml-parser. But my problem is
    updating the xml file.
    pls suggest some solutions or links with " example source code"
    Thanks :-)

    There are 2 kinds of XML parsers : SAX and DOM. DOM seems to suit your need. You can use JAXP APIs to add, delete or change nodes or attributes.
    http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/TOC.html provides contents that would satisfy most of the needs.
    To save a DOM modified XML file use java IO APIs to write to the same file from which it was read using a Document object ( doc.getNodeValue() ).

  • Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

    Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
    There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
    And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

  • Need to add special characters in sap scripts

    Hi All,
       I need to add special characters in sap script.
    I have used them as it is my script,but in the print preview i am able to see '#' instead of those special characters.Can anybody please tell me the way in which we can add special characters in the scripts.
    eg. 'Shlesha' i.e. name in inverted colons.
    Thanks

    Hi
    If # is coming means, that is the problem with the printer. I think u might have used your local printer to see the print preview.
    Don't use LOCL or LP01. Our local printer won't recognize those characters.
    Just change the printer name to client printer name. It will work.
