Automatically conditionalizing a variable using a script? is this possible?

Hello all,
The TCS 3 documentation states that to suppress the FrameMaker Table Continuation variable from appearing in the online help, you need to conditionalize it and then hide that condition when generating the online help.
I have to convert quite a few books, and there will be thousands of instances of the Table Continuation variable.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use ExtendScript to search for the Table Continuation variable, and then to conditionalize it with a specific condition tag? How complicated would this be to do (for someone who has never used Extendscript)?
I'm posting this question here, because I suspect anyone who is using the FrameMaker integration feature and who also uses this common variable has probably run into this issue before me...
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried Find/Change across your book, where you
Copy the conditionalized TC variable to the clipboard
Find - Variable of Name: Table Continuation
Change - By Pasting

    You must upgrade to Snow Leopard, then Lion. There is no direct upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

  • How to load a variable using MATLAB Script?

    I need to load a selected variable from .mat file, using MATLAB script , and analyse it.
    the attched shows my vi, there are two inputs nodes 'file' contains the .mat file path, and 'varn' contains varibale name in that .mat file which can be selected by user. Using " load(file)" the whole .mat file is loaded in the workspace and become avaiable at output node, however I am not able to pass a selected variable name through string "varn" input, MATLAB script does not recognize the variable.
    any idea to reslove it is realy appreciated.

    Download the VI and .MAT file. Run the VI, and it'll plot the data inside of the .MAT file.

  • Create local variable using labview scripting

    I am trying to use labview scripting to create a control and a local variable for that control.  I want both the local variable and the control contained inside a case structure.  My problems are twofold:
    1. the local variable is left blank/unnamed
    2. the local variable is wired outside of the case structure, even though I set it's owner to be the same as the owner for the control (which is placed inside the case structure).
    The flat panel is there because I thought that my problem might be a result of the local var being created before the actual control, so this just forces the control to be created first.  The other thing I wonder about is the VI Object Class for the local variable.  I have tried 'Node' and Control->Boolean, but neither worked.
    I have attached a jpg of the code I'm talking about.  The picture on thetop is of the code in question.  The picture on the bottom is of the resulting code that's created....
    Can anyone offer any help?
    Thank you...

    The reason your locals aren't tied to a control, is because you didn't make a local variable from any control.  Use the Boolean reference wire and wire it to an Invoke Node and select the Create >> Local Variable method.

  • Using XML Datasource - is this possible

    Firstly, let me say I have searched the web, this forum and the tutorials etc to find something useful to point me in the right direction but had no luck thus far.
    I have some XML that looks like this;
    <StaffList>
        <Staff StaffId="1" Name="Fred Nerk" Mission="JMO">
            <SAC Code="001001"/>
            <SAC Code="001002"/>
            <SAC Code="001003"/>
        </Staff>
        <Staff StaffId="2" Name="John Doe" Mission="UKDEL">
            <SAC Code="001002"/>
        </Staff>
        <Staff StaffId="3" Name="Jane Citizen" Mission="UKREP">
            <SAC Code="001002"/>
        </Staff>
        <Staff StaffId="4" Name="Kim Hughes" Mission="JMO">
            <SAC Code="001002"/>
        </Staff>
    </StaffList>
    We have a dropdown list that contains the Name attribute of each staff element.  We have done that by using a Datasource and binding it to the XML.  Easy.
    Once a Staff member is selected in the dropdown list we would like to populate a control with the value of the "Code" attribute from the child SAC Code element(s) for the selected Staff member.  We would also like to populate a control with the "Mission" attribute for the selected Staff element.
    Is this possible using LC designer?  If so what tactic can we use to do it?  Any help appreciated.  Happy to reshape the XML if it makes it easier.

    Hi,
    I also think you will need some code but it wont be a lot.  In the change event of you dropdown list you will need something like;
    var  
    staffDataNode = $record.resolveNode("StaffList.Staff.(StaffId.value == " + this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) + ")" );SAC.clearItems();
    for   (var i=0; i<staffDataNode.SAC.all.length; i++ ){
         SAC.addItem(staffDataNode.SAC.all.item(i).Code.value);
    Mission.rawValue
    = staffDataNode.Mission.value;
    where SAC and Mission are the controls for the dependent values
    Attached is my form to test the above code.

  • SimpleText voice changes within the script, is this possible?

    I have just wet myself laughing at the "voice" reading my written text in SimpleText - Bruce and Fred etc. Now would like to have two different voices reading my text as if there were actors. Is it possible to change the voices with the text?
    example:
    [Fred voice] hello I'm the fred voice
    [Bruce] and I'm the sound fo bruce
    [Fred] yes and now back to me
    I'm running and old PPC 4400 and OS9
    I would imagine it is, either by using a particular app or by adding some script. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the details.
    I debugged the process and can see this line is providing the text on the tab. However, the method is making a low-level call to get the details from some message class/table, but I can't identify what this message class/table is.
    But it looks like it's the sotr_edit transaction, as you mentioned, that controls this. I'm not that familiar with this OTR process though and the transaction is not that intuitive. I assume that I just need to somehow add new entry, with my own Z package.
    Many thanks for the advice though, I knew nothing about that transaction. I also have to create another Online factsheet as well, and it looks like I can control it this way as well.
    I had already modified table CRMV_PRN_CONTROL via sm30 and had changed the values for the Fom name and class/interface from CRM_ACC_ACCOUNT_OVERVIEW_PRN to ZCRM_ACC_ACCOUNT_OVERVIEW_PRN for the form name and from CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT to ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT for the class/interface against all the roles.
    However, I know want to add another form name and class/interface as I have TWO user PDF Factsheets to use, depending on which item the user chooses from the Tab.
    Any idea how I can control this?.
    Best regards

  • CSS custom script - is this possible?

    Hi, I'm trying to determine if it's posible to write a script that will retrieve an html page, return some user credentials (login) to the server, and upon successful authentication, download a small text file. The service will be declared active if these three steps are successful
    I have seen that it's not recommended to use disk I/O operations in scripts, which is something I will take into consideration, but is the scripting language capapble of performing these three functions within one script?
    Many Thanks in advance

    With NTLM this is not possible.
    Because the server sends some kind of challenge that is different each time.
    The response of the client will depend on the challenge and again it will also be different.
    So, you first would need to know the NTLM protocol which is Microsoft proprietary so it's hard to find info, and implementing this in a script will be even harder.
    So, the answer is no way.

  • I have to keep an old version of Firefox for work but would like to download the current version to use personally. Is this possible?

    My work requires I use an old version of Firefox. This means I really can't use it for other things. I would like to install the new version but also keep the old version. Is that possible?

    Yes, you can download the newest version in a portable package so the newer version and the old version you need will keep their files separated from each other.

  • How to pass a shell variable to rman scripts

    I want to backup datafile to different directory
    depending on the current time,and I can do this to
    pass a shell variable to rman scripts,and this
    variable will used as part of format ,like this:
    backup incremental level=0
    tag rman_inc0_bck
    filesperset 5
    format '$(DIR)/rman_fulldb_%u_%s_%p_%d'
    (database include current controlfile)
    and $(DIR) is shell variable ,but rman will not
    recognize this ,how to achieve this?

    You could send your script to rman thru a pipe | or <<
    echo "backup incremental level=0
    tag rman_inc0_bck
    filesperset 5
    format '$(DIR)/rman_fulldb_%u_%s_%p_%d'
    (database include current controlfile);" | rman target /You could also create a "temp script" and then use it from rman with cmdfile
    sed "s,XXXDIR,$(DIR)," yourtemplate > /tmp/rmanscript.$$
    rman target / cmdfile /tmp/rmanscript.$$
    rm /tmp/rmanscript.$$

  • How to deploy jar file in WLS using ant script

    Hi,
    Im trying to deploy a jar file in weblogic 10.3 using ant script and am running into the below error.
    +[wldeploy] weblogic.management.DeploymentException: [J2EE:160177]The application at "/u01//RSJBObjects.jar" was not recognized as a valid application type. If this is an EAR file, please ensure the META-INF/application.xml exists. EJB-JARs should have a META-INF/ejb-jar.xml or corresponding annotations exist. If this is an exploded WAR, the name of directory must be end with ".war". RARs require a META-INF/ra.xml. A JMS deployment should be an XML file whose name ends with "-jms.xml". A JDBC deployment should be an XML file whose name ends with "-jdbc.xml". For other application types, please consult the WebLogic Server documentation.+
    When i try to deploy the same manually from the console, i get a warning stating that WLS thought this as a library and hence proceeding to deploy as a library. After this warning the deployment continues and completes.
    Problem is when i try to deploy using ant, it breaks at this point.
    Is there any means that we can deploy a jar to WLS using ant script. This has to be deployed as a library as other apps would be using this jar.
    Im unable to create a ear file for this single jar file.
    If there is any suggestion on can this be done, please share.
    Thanks,
    Vijay.

    Hi Sunil,
    Thanks for the reply, it worked.
    Another doubt on the same lines. Now that the jar has been deployed as a library in WLS, when i try to deploy a WAR which refers to this deployed jar library, im unable to. I run into and error stating that the library is inaccessible.
    I have to bounce the server and before doing that, i have to manually copy the library.jar from <WLS_domain>/servers/AdminServer/upload/ directory to <WLS_domain>/lib/ directory, once copied i then try to deploy the WAR, then the deployment goes fine.
    Is there any means that this deployed library jar be made available soon after deployment and also to avoid copying the file.
    Thanks,
    Vijay.
