How can I use Automator in illustrator?

The short answer is this is not possible.
The long answer is Photoshop & Illustrator use print fonts installed on your system (True Type, Open Type, Post Script).
Web fonts (ie: Google, TypeKit, Edge, etc...) need a web browser to display them because they use file types that are not recognized by other applications.
EOT Compressed
EOT Lite (uncompressed)
TTF (raw TrueType Fonts for screen)
SVG (xml version)
SVGZ (gzipped version)
WOFF (gzipped, web only, cross-browser font)

How can I use automator to import a .csv file into a an excel file

I would still like all the import settings that I get if I am using excel to do the process, i.e. going in with the text format instead of the general format. That way my dates don't change

You'll need to use Applescript in Automator.
Note: File extension cannot be CSV (Excel will assume that the file is comma separated), so add an action to copy or rename with extension TXT.
(You can rename back at end of Workflow is needed)
The Applescript Action is:
on run {input, parameters}
     repeat with f in input
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
          end tell
      end repeat
      eturn input
end run
NOTE: This is formating the 1st col to text
If you need to format the second, then you need to:
open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, general format}, {2, text format}} other char "|" with use other
(You'll need to list the 1st col, 2nd col, etc until you get to the col to format as text). Formats are (from the Applescript Excel Library):
[field info list] : A list contain parse information for the individual columns of data.
Formats are general format, text format, MDY format, DMY format, YMD format, MYD format, DYM format, YDM format, skip column.
Or you can skip using Automator and just use an Applescript App (this is a droplet, just drop the files on the icon, or click to choose files):
on run
     set fs to choose file with prompt "Select one or more files to open:" default location alias (the path to desktop folder as text) with multiple selections allowed
     proceed(fs)
end run
on open fs
     proceed(fs)
end open
on proceed(fs)
     repeat with f in fs
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
           end tell
      end repeat
end proceed

Can I use automator to type text?

I am looking for a way to fill in my email address in various types of online forms by using a shortcut. Can I use automator to insert an email address? If so, how? Is there a better way to do this, like an autocomple function? I am tired of typing my rather long email address everytime I need to insert it somewhere.

Hello Pierre L.
The bundle identifier is safer than name because application's executable name is not necessarily equal to the package name minus extension. E.g. Firefox.app => firefox.
--SCRIPT
tell application "System Events" to get bundle identifier of process 1 whose frontmost is true
tell application id result to activate
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "hello"
--END OF SCRIPT
The code works fine under 10.5.8 as well.
I guess the compatibility issue is due to the different implementations of Script menu and the different behaviours of AppleScript Runner (post-10.5) or System Events (pre-10.5) per OSes.
All the best,
H
P.S. The script below (saved as application bundle) works fine under 10.4.11.
--SCRIPT 2
    Save this as application bundle or application
    and invoke it from Script menu
delay 0.1
tell application "System Events"
    tell (process 1 whose frontmost is true) to set visible to false
end tell
delay 0.1
tell application "System Events"
    tell (process 1 whose frontmost is true) to keystroke "hello"
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT 2

IPhone 4 I can't use my Safari app. Every time I try to open it, the LAST app that I had used (and closed out of) opens instead of Safari. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry! I didn't realize that a message window opened up, so am not sure if my entire question showed up. I can't use my Safari app at all. Every time I try to open it, the app I used (and closed) previously opens instead. It doesn't matter what app it is, it is just the previous app used. Settings: 4.2.6 (8E200). Model MC676LL. Please help...Thanks!

How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

Since Google has not added watch support to the gmail app, you don't. You should be able to get notifications, but at this time, there is no gmail app for the watch.

How can I use my eprint app on my iPad ?

How can I use my eprint app on my iPad ?

Hello Bulbuljan,
If you want to use an app to print to your printer on your iPad you need to make sure you have downloaded the HP ePrint home & biz app. There are numerous ePrint apps available, but this is the best one for printing to an HP printer that is ePrint enabled.
Here is more information about the App and how to use it:

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;
    $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
    @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
    while (<IN>) {
        chomp;
        $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
        ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
        ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;

Can not use all these apps

Creative Cloud is a terrific service, but, I can't use all these apps because I either don't need or want them, or, I can't understand how to do things with them. The only app I am able to make any use of is the Premiere program with Encoder and Encore.
Is it possible to subscribe only to Premiere for a much reduced monthly payment ??????
steve

Actually, I was just doing some simple math.
SO - what happens if I drop to just the one PP CS6 app – or cancel the service now and switch to upgrade instead ? Do I have to pay some sort of cancellation fee ?
Re: the simple math I just worked out:
Let's see, full Cloud access to all 17 apps $ 34.64 including taxes and exchange rate - number of apps 17 - only 1 of which I vaguely understand how to use and want
for a total cost this first year's subscription of $ 415.44 - which then doubles for the 2nd year.
Arguably --- $ 34.64 divided by 17 = $ 2.04 per app
but apparently I would have to pay about $ 23.08 for just the one premiere pro CS6 app ?
That's $ 276.96 for the 1st year, then the 2nd year doubles in cost from that.
I can upgrade from PP CS5.5 to PP CS6 for $ 172.06 and save a tonne of money I don't have.
Ok - Creative Cloud does NOT work for me -- the way they price it --- really really really really really really really really really really really sucks
The Creative Cloud services would be terrific IF I could understand and use all those apps, but, for just the one and only app I can vaguely understand and use - the cost really sucks.
but i gotta give them credit for figuring all that out so they're the big winners no matter what we do nor how bad their programs are.

I lost my phone. Can I use a location app to find my company's iphone?

If the iPhone had your iCloud account set up on it, and in the settings for that account you had enabled "find my iPhone" then you can log in to your iCloud account in a computer's web browser (www.iCloud.com) and try to track it from your account.
If you did not enable find my iphone, then no, you cannot remotely track it.
