Adobe 8.x Pro Removing Part of File Name

As SOP, I name files by what they are preceded by the date. For example, a letter from John today would be "2008 0519 Ltr from John". When combining files, Adobe is dropping the numbers and booking the file as "Ltr from John". Of course, that is messing up the chronological order of my files. Is there a way to grab the entire file name?
Many thanks.

Spaces and other non-standard characters in file names is one of the results of the long file names that MS introduced. The names can be useful at times, but special characters and spaces should be avoided. As Geo indicated, spaces are commonly represented by an underscore. It is interesting that many web sites have also fallen prey to the MS names with spaces. Other browsers (not IE) try to replace such spaces with %20 for use. MS tends to ignore industry standards and causes a lot of problems as a result.
This is all likely part of your problem. Good luck in resolving it. Geo's advice it probably about as sound as you will get.

Removing date from file name

Hello,
Is there any way to move all the file from one location to another and remove the datepart from filename.
for eg:- if file name is abc_20150411.xls change to abc.xls. if file name does not contain date part then ignore it.
Can any one suggest if its possible.
Thank You

Remove background picture file name from my macbook pro

I have a 17" macbook pro with MAC OS 10.7.5 and was trying to access the desktop pictures to copy the images. I entered a command that I thought would reveal the hidden picture folder and instead my dispaly now not only shows the image but also its file name across the middle of the screen (e.g. Library/Desktop/Images/Andromeda Galaxy.JPG). It doesn't matter if I select another image, the new path name displays right along with the new image. I don't recall the command I entered but can someone help me undo this? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It's actully the path name I need to delete whichs show now in both my desktop and my dashboard. The history of my terminal commands in reverse chronological order is as follows:
Library/Desktop/Pictures
open/ Library
admin$ defaults write com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text -bool TRUE;killall Dock
Thanks so much!

Comparing files in two folders to find duplicates using part of file name

I'm not sure if this is something Automator or perhaps Terminal can do, hoping someone might be able to offer guidance or suggestions.
I have two folders filled with files of photographs.
First folder has approx 15,000 files.
Second folder has approx 1,200 files.
I need to compare the files in the two folders and remove duplicates from the First folder. In other words, the 1,200 files in the Second folder are also in the First folder and they need to be removed from the First folder, leaving 15,000 - 1,200 = 13,800 files in the First folder.
To add a wrinkle to the comparison (nothing is ever that easy), the file names are consistent between folders for the first 17 characters (files follow the format of my name_6 digit date_4 digit # sequence, ie nickB0904087110.jpg) but in the Second folder, the files will have an additional tag added to the file name (ie nickB090408_7110Final.jpg).
Any suggestions or help much appreciated!

Old post, sorry, but for the sake of trying to answer it:
The method described here can accomplish the goal, as I understand it.
http://texo.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/comparing-large-directories-fast-in-osx-or- linux/
rsync -rvn --delete /FirstDirectory /SecondDirectory
(He describes: The 'n' flag is a 'dry-run'; remove it and the files will be copied. And '--delete' deletes any files NOT in the FirstDirectory.)
I found I needed to put slashes at the end of the directory name too. ... /Directory1/ /Directory2/
That way it seems to compare those actual folders. Without the slashes, it just put a copy of Directory1 into Directory2. I'm sure there's something I don't understand about rsync though.

Bursting with username as part of file name

I'd like to do something like this, using :xdo_user_name as part of a bursted file name:
bursting code:
select distinct
Geography.Region KEY,
'Blue' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'C:\Bursting' PARAMETER1,
Geography.Region || :xdo_user_name || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
from Retro.Locales Geography
This works perfectly fine if I omit the || :xdo_user_name from the column definition of parameter2. It fails with this error when I include it:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: oracle.apps.xdo.XDOException: java.io.IOException: prepare query failed
[nQSError: 42032] Parameters are not supported in the select list.
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2116)
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.execute(XDOJob.java:358)
     at org.quartz.core.JobRunShell.run(JobRunShell.java:195)
     at org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:520)
Is the inclusion of a user name possible possible in the bursting code?

Hey Reed, thanks for responding.
I have a Cf utility that parses logs, so I modifed it to print out the ASCII codes for each character. They look normal, as far as I can tell. The question mark has a code of 63 which is correct, and no non-alphabetic characters precede or follow.
One interesting thing is that the stem being called is an index.cfm file, and the query string argument happens to be a template name, and it ends in .cfm. That's why it is making it all the way to CF, which chokes on it, instead of IIS logging a 404 error.
Often an identifiable bot is requesting these bad URLs, though I have spotted another request with agent 'Mozilla/4.0.' I suspect that is some kind of automated scan. (I also see other requests with the same agent name, though a different IP, that look like errononeously URL-encoded requests. These get filtered by URLScan.)
I don't know for sure is whether the specific clients that make these bad calls always make them them wrong way. They appear to. Most clients that access the site do so normally.
I wonder if there could be something in the request header, perhaps that instructs IIS to expect a different charset than what is actually used, or something like that.

Query string read as part of file name, throwing not found errors

Hi all, I host a number of Web sites under a CF7 installation, Win2003.
One site in particular is throwing not-found errors in response to certain search bot requests.
In the IIS log, I noticed that for these requests, the query part of the URL is part of cs-uri-stem field value, but is not in the cs-uri-query field where it belongs:
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm?template=24hour5.cfm
cs-uri-query=<blank>
instead of
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm
cs-uri-query=template=24hour5.cfm
Evidently something somewhere is interpreting the entire URL as a filename, instead of a file name and a query string. When CF tries to locate the file it is throwing a not-found error.
Maybe there is something weird about the question mark, but it looks normal to me.
I can't seem to stop this error, since it is occuring at the OS, IIS, CF or jrun layer. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, and what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Regex: Remove Date from File Names Sitewide

I'm trying to avoid hundreds of 301 redirects across my site. I have two kinds of links that need a regex search string which will simply remove numbers that precede text within html files.
The existing .html files are named with text only (e.g., name.html), whereas the .jpg files have the date and text (e.g., 130415name.jpg). But the new html engine I am using creates files named like the .jpg files (e.g., 130415name.html).
I can strip the numbers out of file names in Name Munger (Strip Characters > Characters: 0123456789).
Now I need a regex search string that will strip the same characters within the html files.
The changes would look like this:
1.
Before:
<ul>
<li class="previous"> <a class="paginationLinks detailText" href="../content/090914name.html">Previous</a> </li>
<li class="index"> <a href="../index_4.html" class="detailLinks detailText">Index</a> </li>
<li class="next"> <a class="paginationLinks detailText" href="../content/090125name.html">Next</a> </li>
</ul>
After:
<ul>
<li class="previous"> <a class="paginationLinks detailText" href="../content/name.html">Previous</a> </li>
<li class="index"> <a href="../index_4.html" class="detailLinks detailText">Index</a> </li>
<li class="next"> <a class="paginationLinks detailText" href="../content/name.html">Next</a> </li>
</ul>
2.
Before:
onclick="window.location.href='content/020922name.html'"
After:
onclick="window.location.href='content/name.html'"
What is the regex search string for these examples (any numbers preceding any letters preceding .html)?

Set the Search option to Source Code
In the Find field:
(content/)\d{6}(\w+\.html)
In the Replace field:
$1$2
Select the "Use regular expression" checkbox.

[solved]remove backslashes from file names?

Hi!
I have a lot of files that contain backslashes in file name, spread over many many folders.
How do I remove that character from all file names? The approaches / scripts / programs I usually work with can't handle the invalid file names (e.g. loose the '\' and then 'cant stat()' -.-").
Thanks!
edit: Argh... now I've got copies of half of the files without the "\" in the same folders, because copying did work on most but deleting only on some... also multiple \\\ because I messed up one sed line. and "echo" failed to warn me about the result, just dropping a few \ while mv didn't... or something. So confused.

Don't know what exactly I've been doing wrong, but it seems not to happen any more since I try to do stuff with "while, read, ${}" instead of "for, $(), echo, sed"

Yes, I know, that was the problem. That's why those stupid things always keep either disappearing or multiplying - I guess I just suck at keeping track of what program handles them which way and depending on what.

Premiere Pro CC creates duplicate file names for recorded VO's

When I add a voice over (VO) to my project using the audio mixed it creates an audio file in the form of Audio 2-xx.wav and it automaticly increments the xx for each new recording. Now using the CC version of Premiere, and after trying the link to Audition CC, it starts over with duplicate file names. The file names look the same as existing files, but the new ones have an extra space betwee the "Audio" and the "2". How can I control the file names that Premiere assigns to new Vo recordings?

Copy the latest file (only a part of file name and extension is known) from source to destination (VB)

Hi,
I need to copy a file (latest) that is present in Temp folder to AppData/Roaming folder. But I know that the file name starts with "MSI" and the file extension is ".log" (like MSI*.log where * is a random hexadecimal number). Also, I need
to get the path for Temp and AppData/Roaming programmatically. After copying to the destination, I need to rename the file as well. I am very new to VB Script. How can I do this? Can you please give me some examples?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Prasad

Can you post your script? What have you done so far.
I recommend a little research in how to use default folders although they will help onl;y the logged in user.
Why do you thing you need to do this: You can always tell the installer to place the log file in a place other than temp.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there a way to relink to folder and only use a selected part of file name

I would like to be able to choose to use just the first 3 places of the file name to relink my graghics files. ie: 001, 002, 003 and have it ignore the rest of the file name, we can now change the extender, could this feature be expanded to enclude more options. Or is there a plugin that will aready do this?

Deleting part of file names

The question relates to about 500 of my files. Years ago, I gave each file name a prefix such as (H), ((C), etc. I now want to delete all prefixes. Can I delete all prefixes simultaneously?

Have a look at this: http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/
or http://www.mrrsoftware.com/MRRSoftware/NameChanger.html
or you may be able to do it in Automator:

I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro why do some files open automatically and other do not.

when I save a file as a pdf. and go to the folder the file only opens if I select it. When I download a file as a pdf it opens automatically in the same folder. How do I get all files to open automatically.

The options on the save are typically either in the printer properties (if printing to the Adobe PDF printer) or in the Acrobat preferences if using PDF Maker in such programs as WORD. The button is included to allow opening on creation. If it is opening on download, that is typically based on how your browser is set up to call software for the file types being downloaded.
