Changing file multiple file names and extensions

hi all
i have just converted a couple of files with some software, but it hasnt put the file extension on, does anyone know of a way to automatically change them, they are already mp4 files but missing the .mp4 on the name part, can anyone help me out to change it without having to manually type it into every single file as that will take me ages now, but i do know for next time when i use this software.

Just a warning: are you sure the extension is missing ? in some cases the extension is in the file name but it is hidden (it's used by the system and is exported but you don't see it in the finder).
In order to check it, in the Finder you can select the file icon, and use the Get Info command (cmd-I): when existing the extension can be read in the "Name and Extension" field, but if the Hide Extension option is set, that extension for that file will be hidden in the finder windows.

DMS - file name and extension

Hi everybody,
I will appreciate if somebody could tell me how to read the file name and extension of already uploaded to DMS document (a function module will be best but name of db table is ok too). Is this information stored in SAP DB at all?
Thanks

Name and extension network volume - problem

Hi all,
I am 10.7.5 and when I get my network volumes the system I added an extension to the volume name!
example:
volume name: Music
in name and extension: Music-2
Why am I adding -2??
and how to no longer be
Thank you for your help

All updates are installed regularly, so I am indeed at the newest version of all available software. I just haven't updated my signature here.
And the name of the attachment is mangled only when I use the client to send an attachment to any other Gmail account ( both Windows or Mac, accessed either through a client or directly at the receiving end). The same email cc'd to my school address shows the entire file name. And if I send the email through Gmail directly, then it is fine too, as I mentioned.

Search multiple folders for files with same name and create single file

I have a project where I need to search multiple folders for a file name and when found append data from each file to a single input file.
Example
root folder to start search
\\servera\sales
\\servera\it\salesa\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesb\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesc\cmmstr.txt
I need to create a a single cmmstr.txt on the root folder. I would like it to be able to run this with parms to pass in folders to search and file names to search and single file name to create. I'm going to have a least 10 differnt files to
search for and create output file for. The folders to search
will somewhat be static.
Thanks.

I tested this out on my own seat and I think it should work for you. I wrote it as a function, all you have to do is pass the root folders you want to search and the file your looking for. The function will then search that directory and all sub directories
for that file name. you will also have to provide it a file to append to, if the file dosen't exists the function will create it. If you run into an issues let me know and the links Mike
Laughlin posted are a great resource.
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations, $SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\Server1\c$\Temp", "\\Server1\c$\Test1" -SearchFor "Install.cmd" -AppendTo "C:\Temp\Search.log"

Get File by modified date and extension then copy to location

Hello,
Ill give a brief description of what I am trying to accomplish. We have a bunch of files that are sitting on a deduplication box (Exagrid), we want to try and copy certain files off of this dedup box, however, if we copy EVERYTHING this will fill up our
entire NAS Device. So, instead, I need to build a script that finds files by a modified date and extension type, then copy those to a specified folder.
Here is the code:
$logfile = "C:\CopyResults.log"
function LogWrite{
Param([string]$logstring)
Add-Content $logfile -Value $logstring
$date = get-date
$DateToCompare = (Get-Date).AddDays(-2)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".xlsx"}
foreach($File in $Files){
Write-Host "$File was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $File C:\test
logWrite "$File was copied to c:\test --- $date"
The file extension is of course just a test, as well as the destination of where these files are to be copied to. Ultimately I would like to build in the functionality that will check the date and delete the files after a certain amount of time has passed and
then copy new files. For now, though, I would be satisfied with just some insight on my own idea and know where I am going wrong or how to clean this up a little better. The overall issue I having is when I run this portion of the script I get this: Copy-Item
: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\<username>\<filename>.xlsx' because it does not exist.
At line:13 char:5
+ Copy-Item $File C:\test
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\<usern...al filename>.xlsx:String) [Copy-Item], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

I solved the issue. Here is the full script:
net use \\netpath\filename /user:<Username> <Password>
$logfile = "C:\CopyResults.log"
function LogWrite{
Param([string]$logstring)
Add-Content $logfile -Value $logstring
$date = get-date
$DateToCompare = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
$VBMs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vbm"}
$VBKs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vbk"}
$VIBs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vib"}
foreach($VBM in $VBMs){
Write-Host "$VBM was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VBM.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VBM was copied to c:\test --- $date"
foreach($VBK in $VBKs){
Write-Host "$VBK was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VBK.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VBK was copied to c:\test --- $date"
foreach($VIB in $VIBs){
Write-Host "$VIB was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VIB.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VIB was copied to c:\test --- $date"
"In this case you are handing a System.IO.FileSystemInfo.FileInfo object to the Copy-Item cmdlet. I think the cmdlet is probably defaulting to using the .Name property and that is not enough information for the copy to work. When you explicitly give the
.FullName property to the cmdlet, it now has the information that it needs."
I found this on Stack Overflow buried in the forums and it resolved all my issues. I have tried using that tool and it works very well, however, Powershell is what I am using for everything and I would like to keep it that way.
Thank you all for your time and help.

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

How do I change my administrator's name and elimnate the photo icon?

All I want to do is make it Upper Case instead of all lower case and delete the picture.

First, BACKUP!!! (in case you mess something up)
Here are the steps: (you should disable auto-log in and file vault before continuing, then LOG OUT of the account you want to modify -DON'T just use fast user switching. LOG IN TO A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT FROM THE ONE YOU ARE MODIFYING)
1. Click >System Preferences...>Accounts.
2. Unlock the lock, if necessary.
3. Control click your user's name, and click "Advanced options".
4. In the "advanced" pane, highlight the "Short name" field, and replace it with the desired new short name.
5. In the Home Directory field, change /Users/oldusername to /Users/newusername, where oldusername is your original short username and newusername is your new short username. Write down the original and new paths.
6. Click OK and quit system preferences.
7. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
8. Copy the blue text, and press enter, but REPLACE '/Users/oldusername' and '/Users/newusername' with the correct paths, which you wrote down in step 5.: sudo mv /Users/oldusername /Users/newusername
9. Press enter, and type your password. When the prompt comes back, restart your mac.
Good luck!

Is possible to change the order of name and last n...

After to have installed: "Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3 ita", I have noticed that the names in the Contacts folder, come lists to you with the following order: "name for first and last name for second". I have tried to change this order, opening Nokia Contacts Editor, selecting Options > Order names > Last name for first, rebboting Nokia Phone Browser and Nokia Contacts Editor in order to render effective the modifications, but nothing
to make. Why in the previous versions of PC Suite, it was possible to change this order (Name for first or Last name for first), and instead in the version "Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3" it is not possible? Someone of You have the same problem? How I could resolve it? Thanks in
advance!!

vCard file is in plain text. you can edit it using text editor - find field like:
N:han;abrash
the first name and last name is seperated by ';' there. and you can reorder it to:
N:abrash:han

LSMW Specify files--multiple files

Hi ,
I have the data in two files.
how can i specify these two files . i know we have to use the option wildchar in hte step "specify files"
can anyone give me the exact procedure to do the same.
Thanks in advance

Hi Kiran,
U don't always need to use wildcards - if u have 2 files and u know their full names then there's no need for wildcards. It depends on how many source structures u defined in "Maintain Source Structures" step.
If u have 2 source struc. and 2 files (1 file for each source) then it's very simple:
In "Specify Files" step, create the 1st file. Then click on "Legacy Data" again and click create again. Enter the data (name etc.) and confirm. Now u will see 2 files (on both u have to choose "Data for one source structure" radio button). Save and go to the next step "Assign Files": here assign to each source struc. its own file and u're done.
If u have 2 files for 1 source u can simply create a new file and copy both files into it one after the other.
If it's another case describe it so i can answer.
Usually the use of wildcards is done only when u have a long list of files and it's to much work to create them all or a part of the file name is not constant.
Pls reward if helps.
Igal
