Auto replace text option?

Any way of auto replacing text?
I'm forever typing "form" instead of "from" and can't seem to train my mind out of it. Real pain when writing SQL since from is used quite a bit. Usually I set up an auto replace to correct this automatically as I type but doesn't seem to be any way to do this in SQL Developer.
I found this thread asking the same but it's closed now or I would have added to this:
https://community.oracle.com/message/3501554
I also tried playing with the SQL Editor Code Templates but they don't really to the same thing. They seem to be text you can add to the auto complete menu.
Any clever ideas to help me with my stupidity?
Thanks,
Barry

Any ideas????

Batch Rename: replace text option

Batch rename is great if one wants to add text, change extension, add a serial number, metadata etc. BUT! what about replacing text? I've gotta jump from Bridge to Finder and an Automator workflow action to replace text in file names or just trim part of a file name. This doesn't make for a good workflow.
Anybody else feel the frustration?

Auto replace text.

Hi,
I'm new working with Lifecycle and I'm trying to create a form where the client select a color from a drop down menu and a text on a filed will change.
This is a example of what I'm trying to do.
http://morfeodesigns.com/webSampleForm.pdf
My script is working fine to change the first field but the problem comes when the client add a second or more fields, the dropdaown menu is not changing the text on the new fields.
This is the code that I'm using.
var oldText = form.testPage.beltsOrder.regBelts.styleInfo.beltInfo.rawValue;
var newText = oldText.replace("[belt color]", this.rawValue);
form.testPage.beltsOrder.regBelts.styleInfo.beltInfo.rawValue = newText;
I tried many differen ways without any luck, please I'll appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Trouble with "add note to replace text" annotation

When I use "Add note to replace text" in Reader XI, the note acts as if it is locked even though it is not. The Locked box is not checked, but yet the options are grayed out; and I cannot delete the note, though I can edit the text box. "Strikethrough" and "Insert text at cursor" work fine.
I am using the latest update of XI and have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times; I've also tried various older versions of XI. It happens with documents I've created or documents others have created; it happens on docs created from Word or those created from InDesign; it happens on docs downloaded several years ago as well as ones from the past month.
I CAN delete these add-and-replace notes if I receive a file with them already put there by someone else--I just can't delete my own that I am adding right now. When I send the pdf to other people they have the same problem--in fact, someone told me that in her case ALL of my notes appear locked, not just the Add note to replace text one--yet when I send it to her, on my side, I have not locked any of them.
Also, I do seem to be able to delete my own annotations I put on documents fairly recently--I have files from Sept 9 and Sept 17 that I can do this. But if I try to add notes to those same docs now, they act just like all the other ones--I cannot delete those particular notes and they appear locked.
Help please!!

You could write an html-text file that revers to the image file
after that you could even convert this html-file to an rtfd file (which is a package after all) using textutil

Folder action to find and replace text and change line feeds

I want to use a folder action to find and replace text and change Mac carriage returns to DOS line feeds inside text files.
The text to be replaced is: "/Users/wim/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music" (without the quotes)
This text has to be removed (i.e. replaced by an empty string)
The text occurs many times within each file.
The files are playlists exported from iTunes in the M3U format (which are text files). They contain Mac carriage returns. These need to be changed to DOS line feeds.
I have found the following two perl commands to achieve this:
To find and replace text: perl -pi -w -e 's/THIS/THAT/g;' *.txt
To change carriage returns to line feeds: perl -i -pe 's/\015/\015\012/g' mac-file
I know that it's possible to make a folder action with Automator that executes a shell script.
What I want to do is drop the exported playlists in M3U format in a folder so that the folder action will remove the right text and change the carriage returns.
My questions are:
Is it possible to make a folder action that executes command line commands instead of shell scripts?
What is the correct syntax for the two commands when used in a folder action shell script? Especially, how do I escape the slashes (/) in the string to be removed?
Thanks for your help

Ok, I've include an applescript to run a shell command. The applesript command quoted form makes a string that will end up as a single string on the bash command line. Depending on what you want to do, you may need multiple string on the bash command lines. I've included some information on folder actions.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
    end try
end run
How to set up a folder action.
1) right click on folder. click on Enable folder actions
2) Place script in

Create a new folder on the desktop & try.
You can put multiple folder actions on a folder. There are other ways of doing this.

Auto Replace functionality similar to TOAD

I've played with Raptor 804 for a few hours now. Only a couple things keeping me from being able to move (comfortably) to Raptor from Toad at this point.
1) Bind Variables not remembering values if I run queries repetively. Other posts address that issue
2) The other is Toad's Auto Replace feature. I have huge library built where I can type in a few letters and when I hit the space bar (or other set characters) the characters are replaced with something else. ie...I type "srf" and I get "select a.*, a.rowid from" or I type "hca" and I get the table name "ar.hz_cust_accounts" etc....
Because I've got so many auto replace keystrokes saved I am able to type out ad-hoc queries in a hurry. I see Raptor has an Accelerators option under Preferences but that doesn't do quite what I want.
3) Other very nice to have (because of the way I work) is the Named Sql options that is available in Toad. Basically instead of having a bunch of standard queries that I use all the time saved into files, I've got them saved in my Named Sql's in Toad so I can quicly pop them up (with a shortcut keystroke Ctrl-N) and then click on the one similar to the Sql History window. In conjunction with the bind variable functionality listed in item 1, it helps me investigate things very quickly when researching issues.
Initial results on Raptor look good. I'm looking forward to it improving to the point where I can ditch Toad (which I've lost all faith in).

1) try the new build it's in there
2) This will have to wait till 1.1 however I agree for no other reason then fixing my select * form dual.
3) Would key shortcuts and the ability to manage the snippets work ( again in 1.1)

Keynote: Replace Text under Document Warnings Gone?

One of the most critical features I use in Keynote 5.3 on nearly a daily basis is VIEW > SHOW DOCUMENT WARNINGS > REPLACE TEXT for missing fonts.
Is this feature gone?
I'm in the process of testing out Keynote 6.1 to compile a list of all the bugs and missing features. So far it looks like when I open a file with missing fonts, I get a vague warning note that "some of the fonts are missing / might not appear correctly" but there doesn't appear to be any detail, or any option to replace them with other fonts.
I hope I have overlooked something. Can anyone else weigh in on this, please?

Try this repair for Keynote 6.2, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update,
          its a freeware application
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility;
          click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
          Please report back to let us know if this helped.

Auto-replace two minus signs with a proper dash

I wish Keynote would offer to do this! I've been cutting-and-pasting them into K06. K08 now offers a space to enter personal auto-replace 'requests', but putting "--" into the first column and a cut-and-paste dash (from--hold your breath--MS Word) doesn't work.
Any hints, please?
Thanks

I'm really happy to have learned the "Option + -" dash: as that produces exactly what I'm looking for and it takes no more keystrokes than "--" to produce, this is solved without fussing with auto-correct.
Thank you!

Adding replacement text for acronyms using the SDK

All
I have an existing C++ plugin for Acrobat Pro that walks through documents page by page doing different things (e.g. changing annotations) on each page.
As part of an effort to make out PDF files "accessible" I have an issue.
One of things that I have been asked to do is to look at creating PDF "replacement text" for a list of acronyms as they occur in a document. I believe the optimal outcome would be to somehow make the acronyms as "marked-content" and created "replacement text" for the marked-content (The marked-content being an acronym).
I have been looking at the core API, PDFEdit, and PDSEdit. It looks like PDFEdit would be the set of tools that might be able to do this, but I don't think it will. It doesn't seem like there is a way to "mark content" using PDFEdit. If I was able to cerate the correct marked content, it looks like the there isn't a way to add "replacement text" for that marked content.
We are creating structured PDF files, so I looked at PDSEdit. It appears that it pretty easy to created alternate text for an element. However, the elements are usually entire paragraphs so I would have to create "alternate text" for the entire paragraph just to have replacement for an acronym in the paragraph.
Playing with the "content streams" is something new to me, so I am wondering if it looks like I have considered all of the options?
Thanks

Leonard
Looking at PDSEdit, it appears that I have to create replacement text for entire element. Our elements are entire paragraphs for the most part. I was thinking that I couldn't just provide replacement text for a single word in the paragraph and I would have to provide replacement text for the entire paragraph since there is only 1 replacement text per element.
Maybe I didn't think about this enough (I shouldn't be allowed to talk out loud on Fridays). If I could split an existing element into 3 elements (before acronym, acronym, after acronym), I could avoid building replacement text for the entire paragraph. Or maybe I can created marked content with PDSEdit as a separate structure element? Not sure I can do that.
Do you think I can do what I want to do with PDSEdit?
I guess I am struggling a little to understand how the content streams relate to the items in the basic PDF structure (e.g. replacement text for marked content) and the document structure.
Sorry about rambling..
Thanks

Text options

Hi all,
i had a question regarding when writing something with the text option in photoshop, you then have the option of making it smooth, strong, sharp, crisp.
What do these options do to the text? i cant really notice the difference, is there a recommended option for print or web that i should be using?

Depends on a number of factors:
how you want the type to look
resolution
file format (eg: gif or jpeg)
Font attributes: weight, serif thickness, webfont
so the answer would be very long. But thismakes an important differecne for low resoltuon digital graphics, and not so much for print.
None - Applies no anti-aliasing
Sharp - Type appears at its sharpest
Crisp - Type appears somewhat sharp
Strong - Type appears heavier
Smooth - Type appears smoother

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

How do I get more text options in photoshop??

How do I get more text options in Photoshop? I have the basic package, but I would like more script options.
Thank you,

I don't suppose you have a full CC subscription? It comes with a feature called Typekit which I love. Along with an ever increasing range of top quality fonts, it has the best font manager I have used, and excellent search facility.
The web is full of additional font sites like dafont

Change Locale / UI Text Options of Photoshop CS4

Sorry to bug you all but I've searched the answer to this for two days and can't find anything.
I recently installed CS4 Design Premium on a PC running Windows 7. When I resize an image (Image>Image Size), the dialog window always displays the Document Size in centimeters. Unfortunately I'm in the U.S. and haven't yet converted to the metric system and it's a royal pain to change the drop-down to inches each time.
In my "Locales" folder the only subdirectory that exists is, "en_GB". In Edit>Preferences>Interface:UI Text Options:UI Language there is only one option available which is "English: UK". I'm pretty sure that during the initial install of the suite I selected "United States" as my Locale. And is there any reason to have a drop-down with only one choice and no means of adding others (no need to answer this one, I'm just thinking out loud)?
Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
Many Thanks

Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
The locale for the main program is defined by the serial, not necessarily by your language selection. Shared components derive their locale from this as well and/or in part from the system setting. That issue with installs wrongly using en_GB is quite common, though. It usually occurs when other Adobe software with shared components already was on the system and coerced the installer into using the wrong language. However, short of reinstalling everything Adobe after having sweeped clean with uninstalls and the CS4 Clean Script, there is no way to resolve this.

Saving preferred Shadow Text options in powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm trying to save my powerpoint format shape text options for shadow text, I see there are presets, but I am wondering would I be able to save a custom setting as a reset?
This is under Format, Text effects, shadow, shadow options.

maybe you can create a customized template to store shadow text.
