Can a field be made to pull the current date from computer or internet and display it?

Im making a form for someone and they want the current date of when the form is opened to be displayed at the top without having to type it in. Is this possible? I assume this has something to do with javascript but I dont know anything about that stuff

Hi,
I search something in the forum and found your message. If you need it once again, try this:
var f = this.getField("currentDate");
f.value = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy",new Date());
Or this one (helpful for Germans who want to display their date like this: 29. Juni 2010. If you take the first one in the dd. mmmm yyyy format, it shows you the month in English. 29. June 2010):
var f = this.getField("currentDate");
f.value = util.printd("date(de){DD. MMMM YYYY}", new Date(), true);

There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
Use of local variables to populate an array.
Cannot insert values into an empty array.
What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

How to get the current Date from the system?

How do I acquire the current date from the system? Also, if possible, can I assign the day, month and year separately into three variables and how? It would be thankful if some simple Example could be given. Thanx!

import java.util.*;
public class count {
public count() {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int month = now.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int dayyear = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
int year = now.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int a = 365;
int b = a - dayyear;
System.out.println("The day is the" + " " + day);
System.out.println("IT is the" + " " + month + " " + "month of the year");
System.out.println("The year is" + " " + year);
System.out.println("This many days till next year" + " " + b);

I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help

hey ppl
i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
how can this be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex...
thanks.....

It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/]
*Unless you write a bunch of JNI code to replicate what the java.io classes are doing.

The search engine ASK has been coming up ever since yesterday's update on Mozilla. I have made sure all the settings in my computer say Google and it still comes up. Did you do this purposely because it is really annoying?

My home page is igoogle and this works fine. But if I put a word in the search bar at the top (which says google) it immediately pulls up ASK.

Can I make a checkbox populate the current date?

I've been asked to make a form that has quite a few checkboxes. These checkboxes also need to be marked with a date when checked off.
Rather than have the person filling out the form type the date every time they check the box, they request that when the user clicks the checkbox that a current date show next to the checkbox.
I don't know if this can be done with a current date stamp or with having a text box that populates with the current date, etc.
The forms are also going to be used throughout multiple days, so I can't just call on a "current date" and show/hide that text box like I had originally thought to do.
I'm also really green to scripting so any help or guidance in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

The following Mouse Up script for a check box will set the associated text field to the current data when it's selected, and blank the field when not:
// Mouse Up script for check box
(function () {
    // Get a reference to the text field
    var f = getField("text1");
    // Set the value of the text field
    if (event.target.value !== "Off") {
        f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    } else {
        f.value = "";
Replace "text1" with the name of the associated text field.

How do I insert the current date to hidden field?

I have a form for updating personal information. There is a field in the table called "dateupdated" that I would like to have on the form as a hiddent field that will automatically get the latest date (now).
Any idea's how I can set the hiddden field to current date?
Thanks, Dennis

You don't need a hidden field to do that. Depending on the database you're using, you can either use a TIMESTAMP column (in MySQL) that is automatically updated, or you can use a SQL function to insert the current date.
For example, in PHP, you can use NOW() like this in a SQL query:
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO date_test (created, message) VALUES (NOW(), %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['message'], "text"));

How to get the current Date

With the following piece of code, I am able to get the current date in bpe forms, but not when I put it in any of the forms logged in using end user(not even in end user menu).
<Field name='request.submitDate'>
<Display class='Label'>
<Property name='value'>
<invoke name='dateToString' class='com.waveset.util.Util'>
<ref>java.util.Date</ref>
</invoke>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
The following error is getting displayed in the end user menu form.
XPRESS exception:
Can't call method dateToString on class com.waveset.util.Util ==> java.lang.NullPointerException: -------can anyone please help me out
or can anyone suggest a way for getting the current date
Regards
Gajendra Nagapurkar

The <ref> tag is used to refer to the value of some variable. The value of the variable java.util.Date in your example is NULL, because it doesn't exist!
If you remove that argument from your <invoke>, the call resolves to the method com.waveset.util.Util.dateToString() and will return something like "20050810 11:00:21".

Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

Hi All,
I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
void ReadTextFile()
                    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                     InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                     char[] buf=new char[1024];
                     isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                     fstr=new String(buf);
                     String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                     while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                      pcode1=st.nextToken();
                           pname1=st.nextToken();
          price1=st.nextToken();
                          sname1=st.nextToken();
     } //close of while loop
                } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.

If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
MyClassName.pcode1;
MyClassName.pname1;
MyClassName.price1;
MyClassName.sname1

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

There's Toast.

Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.

How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?
