Apple Script should transfer text into a numbers table.
Hello together,
at first i want to appologize my english.
So at second i want to write an AppleScript, that starts with a display dialoge and ask me some things. Thats not the real problem i have started it so...
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
tell table 1
set DD1 to display dialog "Adresse" default answer "" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
set Strasse to text returned of DD1
set DD2 to display dialog "Datum" default answer "actal date" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
set Datum to text returned of DD2
set Schilder to display dialog "Gestellt oder abgeholt" buttons {"Gestellt", "Abgeholt"} default button 1
set ButtonReturned to button returned of Schilder
display dialog "Speichern?" buttons {"Abbruch", "Speichern und beenden", "Speichern und neu"} default button 3
if the button returned of the result is "Speichern und neu" then
-- action for 1st button goes here Repeat
else
-- action for 2nd button goes here End
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
Now i want that the script tells my current table in numbers the new variables.
I have no idea how to get this or where i can read something about this theme.
Thank you for helping.
Tim
Using the Cells Inspector, you can pre-format the cells before you input your data. That way you won't be surprised. Leaving the format set on Automatic sometimes leads to unexpected results. If you want your input to remain literally as you typed it, use the Text format. If you want a certain number of decimals to be displayed, select the Number format and set the number of digits to be displayed using the Inspector.

Script to drop text into Address Book "note" field?
I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this: I have about 6000 contacts and wanted to organize them by putting category descriptions of each contact into the notes field: ie, "friend," "architect," "designer," etc. Once done, they will be easy to keep organized via smart groups.
Could a script be written to do this? My contacts are already broken out into "dumb" groups, so could a script simply drop a note for all members of an existing group? Or all selected contacts?
The trick will be to add the text without wiping out any existing text. That way each contact could be assigned to more than one category.
This would be a very useful script, because Address Book does not presently have the "category" feature than other contact managers have, such as Entourage.
Any help greatly appreciated.Suggestion:
6000 contacts - That's a lot. Before you get too carried away, I would add delimiters such as:
[note]" & contentsof_existingnote & "[/note]" & return, AND
[category]" & _category & "[/category]" & return
You could then add other functions to your AddressBook note field. I do this regularly and have added;
[addressee2] to add a roomates, significant other, or spouse that wanted to keep her maiden name and want to formerly include on an invitation or xmas card.
Mr. John Smith
Dr. Karen Jones, M.D. [addressee2, roomate, significant other]
1234 W. 56th Street
Anytown, ST, Zip
[spouse] spouse; review your contact list and greet them with "How is your wife Karen?"
[xmasprefix] mainly to add "Mr. & Mrs." to your contacts
[xmasfamily] include a personal touch; "and family"
Others, [iphotolinks], [envelopegraphic], [envelopeAttn_]
All kinds of possibilities here.

A material (eg mat05) is maintained in a material master.
A purchase order text is maintained for that particular,in <b>STXH</b> table.The Text ID,Text Name,Object ID,Spras are stored along with the TDNAME ( the long text ).I know these data are stored into <b>STXH,STXL</b> tables and some cluster tables.Can someone help me informing about the <b>Cluster Tables</b>( Specially on PO text ).Hello Rajarshi,
There was a somewhat similar query sometime back which I shall point you to.
Re: BasicText for a Material
Besides, here's the code which would get you the purchase order texts for a given material -
parameters: p_matnr type matnr.
data: temp_text type table of tline with header line,
where_cond(20) type c.
data : begin of text_id ,
tdobject(10) value 'MATERIAL',
tdname(70),
tdid(4) ,
tdspras value 'E',
end of text_id.
start-of-selection.
concatenate '%'
p_matnr
into where_cond.
select tdname
tdid
from stxl
into (text_id-tdname , text_id-tdid)
where relid = 'TX' and
tdspras = 'E' and
tdname like where_cond.
import tline = temp_text[]
from database stxl(TX)
id text_id.
write: / sy-subrc.
loop at temp_text.
write : / temp_text-tdline.
endloop.

How to enter text into text box in Pages '09
When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.
I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Box 1"
keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
keystroke "Box 2"
keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
keystroke "Box 3"
keystroke tab & tab
-- and so on
end tell
end tell
The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor. -

Apple script is stuck working with Numbers
Hello, everyone
I need some help.
I wrote a script what was supposed to do perform following:
I receive a Numbers-format file imported to my Mac from iPad with iTunes
This file is a sort of daily journal. Every row includes info about one particular client. A name of the client is in column 2. The file name is always "Blank.numbers" and the table name is always "Blank". I need to copy this table in a new file and collect the data for each client in a different table . In other word i need to make new tables in a new file and copy client info in its own table.
The script is below. It seems to work right (it makes a new file, makes some tables, puts correct info into them) but one thing happens - it's stuck in a little while after run. Sure, I reloaded my Mac and not ones but nothing at all - zero effect, the same thing happened over again, after the script successfully worked it was stuck and i just could see "running". My test data file consists of just up to 40 rows, but I've never had this work completely done.
Not much scriptwriter of myself - it's just my very first experience in the subject and I have no clue about why it could be, so I'll appreciate for any suggestion

Creates a new Numbers document from Blank.template

end repeat

end tell -- theApp
return n
end makeAnNumbersDocHello
Then I have no idea why the script hangs after it has done the job.
Some thoughts.
• Is it the same in different user account?
• If you force quit the script, is the resulting new document fine? In other words, is the problem limited to the termination of the script? You can quit a running script by means of i) pressing command + period, which will signal to cancel the execution of the script or ii) killing the process (editor or applet) by Activity Monitor.
Anyway, I have done some clean up and optimization of your script as listed below although I can see no reason for these changes to solve the current issue. It is just for my testing and liking for low energy consumption.
Script is revised so that -
a) it gets the template path indepent of the location of Numbers.app;
b) it reduces the number of AppleEvents to send for retrieving data from table by means of range reference form (e.g., rows i thru j) and whose filter reference (e.g., rows whose cell i's value = x);
c) its GetTable() handler now returns 2d arary of values instead of cell references so that it can reduce the number of AppleEvents for dereferencing the cell reference later;
d) it introduces _main() handler to localise the implicit global variables in run handler (as already explained);
e) in _main() handler, code is encapsulated in an script object and the script object is executed by "run script" command, which is a known technique to speed up the execution of script when saved as applet. (Actually this only makes the applet run as fast as compiled script run in editor. Without this, applet runs remarkably slower than run in editor.)
Hope this may be of some help.
Good luck,
H

I use Adobe Photoshop CS4_Bridge _Photo Downloader to import images from CF Cards into my 11" Mac Book Air. I have an issue with the Text files
that seem to accompany each and every image that I do not need. How do I stop Apple Script (which I assume is the culprit in this case) from interferring with this process.Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

I'm trying to work in numbers on an Excel spreadsheet that I e-mailed to it. Numbers moves the graphs and charts around. How do I get it to transfer cleanly into numbers?
If you really need to work in excel and you need to collaborate with others in excel you should avoid the frustration and use excel. I would only recommend using Numbers if you are using it to open a file you do not intend to open in excel again OR if the document is very simple. If you paycheck or grade depends on Numbers importing or exports from/to excel you should use excel directly.

I have spent hours trying to figure this out, automator is the hardest thing to figure out. All I want to do is emulate me doing this
-Open terminal
-type wine
-drag and drop the location of an .exe file
-hit enter
Now this should be easy as all I have to do is do run shell script, insert argument and done, BUT IT DOESNT RECOGNIZE WINE!?!?! Pleas help me.
Let me clarify.
If I make an automator application that that runs the command "wine" and then inserts text into the space after that Then i will be set. But no matter what I do nothing works. If i set the shell to perl and pass input as argument....It doesnt work the $f and $@ stuff doesnt work.
Wine is likely not recognized because is is pearl based so I set it to pearl, but how do i pass and argument over to it?Try
/opt/local/bin/wine "$@"
The "..." will protect the white space, but still allow $variable subsitutions.
The $@ will substitute all the files you drag as a group to your Automator app.
The notation "$@" does the substitution with each file properly quoted to protect the white space in the file path, but provide each file as its own quoted argument to the 'wine' command line.
If you need to invoke 'wine' once for each file of a group of files you drag on to your automator app, then use
for f in "$@"
do
/opt/local/bin/wine "$f"
done
This will loop through each file of a group of files you drag onto your automator app, and invoke 'wine' once for each file in the group. -

Transfer text of VBKD-BSTKD_E into a item text category when creating order
Hi,
when creating an order a text should be entered manually in the field 'VBKD-BSTKD_E' . Because the order is a third-party-order and we want to have this information of field 'VBKD-BSTKD_E' also in the MM-purchase requisition to this order, the manual entered text of 'VBKD-BSTKD_E' should be transfered into a special item-text-category in the sales order (We made already the customizing that this special item-text-category goes automatically into the MM-purchase requisition when saving the SD-order). Now we have tried already to solve this issue with the function module 'change_text' and 'create_text' in the SD-user-Exits (1. Try: userexit_move_field_to_vbap and 2.Try: ZXVVAU05). We were able to change or create the text with these function modules but, although we used afterwards additionaly function module 'Save_text' to save the text, the text wasn't saved by the system.
Has anybody an idea how this could work?
Regards
StephanRead the header lever text using READ_TEXT, and use the SAVE_TEXT to save the text at the item level. Obviously you have to change the TDOBJECT field before saving it.
