Concatenate sysdate with file name in shell script

Hi,
I have one shell script which i am using to transfer data(SFTP).
Now I have one requirment to use sysdate along with the file name as the file name for the data being transfered.
script is like this...
function connect
sftp $USER@$HOST <<END_SCRIPT
lcd $FILE_DIR
if [ $FILE="PO" ] then
quote site recfm=fb
quote site lrecl=230
pwd
put $FILE 'OPENPO'
fi
quit
END_SCRIPT
Can any one tell how i can concatenate sysdate with the file name (put $FILE 'OPENPO')?
Thanks in Advance,
RR

it gets even easier with the 'scp' command.
please try to use the "code" tags. it is very well possible the forum software did transform parts of your script.
to get into 'code mode': put { c o d e } on a line (without the spaces), then the code, then { c o d e } again to switch back to normal mode.

InDesign Script to find images w/ prefix code, place img on page along with file name.

Hello,
I'm looking for an InDesign script that will prompt me for a code/text, this code/text will be the prefix of images in the sever, and then return the images found with this prefix by placing them on the document page and also display their file names in a text box. Is there such a script out there that anyone recommends. Thank you for your help. I'm on a Mac, using InDesign CS6, Javascript or any other would do.

File locking and shell script

Hi,
with Mac OS X is there a file locking system to prevent file to be copyied or move to a folder B before they are completely copyied in folder A ?
Regards

The files in folder A are created by a program like
Pitstop
My question was : what can happen if a file in folder
A is not complitely created and the shell script
attempt to copy it ?
In general, if the shell script attempts to copy a file before the creator is finished writing to it, the shell script will copy the part of the file that's already present, so the copy will be incomplete. The creating application can prevent that (by writing to a temporary file and changing the name of the file only after it's finished writing, or by making the file readable only after it's done), but that's up to the application.

Getting base name using shell script

Im having a few issues using finder and would like to use the shell script "basename" to
do the work as opposed to finder.
How would I rewrite this :
tell application "Finder"
set anItem to FileToOpen
tell (info for anItem) to set {tName, tEx} to {name, name extension}
set baseName to text 1 thru ((get offset of "." & tEx in tName) - 1) of tName
end tell
to be used with this:
set baseName to do shell script "basename " & ???????"
Hope ive supplied enough info
Cheers
Budgie

set i to alias (the clipboard) -- Expects full path of file or folder, in HFS+ format. This line is for demonstration purpose only.
set baseName to do shell script ("basename -s ." & (name extension of (info for i)) & " " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of i)))
if (baseName contains return) then -- Process folder or file without an extension].
set {oAStid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set baseName to text item 2 of baseName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oAStid
end if
display dialog baseName buttons {"OK"} default button 1 -- Displays the folder name or file name less any extension. This line is for demonstration purpose only.

Applescript with Mail attachments and shell scripts (pdftk)

I'm trying to create a script that I can call using mail rules that will:
1. save an attached PDF file to a folder (folder name is 'PDFs_from_Mail:')
2. save each page of the PDF as a separate file
3. delete the old file
so far, i used the script below called from mail to save the attachments to the
-- script called from mail
using terms from application"Mail"
onperform mail action with messages theMessages
    tell application"Finder" to set ptd to (path to desktopfolder) as string
    tell application"Finder" to set pathToAttachments to(path to desktop folder as string) &"PDFs_from_Mail:"
    tell application"Mail"
       repeatwith theMessage in theMessages
            if theMessage's mailattachments is not {} then
                  repeatwith theAttachment in theMessage's mailattachments
                        settheFileName to pathToAttachments & theAttachment's name
                        try
                                 save theAttachment in theFileName
                          onerror errnum
                        endtry
                  endrepeat
            end if
         endrepeat

end usingterms from

end tell
-- end of script called from mail
after the file is in the folder, i'd like to automatically call a script that splits it in to pages and saves each file. I found pdftk can do what I need. I got the following working, which uses a folder action script to process the file:
-- burst script
on addingfolder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
   tellapplication "Finder"
       set fold_name tothe name of this_folder
           try
               repeatwith i from 1 to number ofitems in added_items
                      set theFile toitem i of added_items
                      set oldDelimiters toAppleScript's text item delimiters
                      set AppleScript's textitem delimiters to {":"}
                      set theFolder to(((text items 1 thru ((count everytext item of (theFile asstring)) -1)) of (theFile asstring))) as string
                      set AppleScript's textitem delimiters to oldDelimiters
                            --get the file name
                               set theFileName to the name of theFile
                                                 do shell script"/usr/local/bin/pdftk " & (POSIX path oftheFile) & " burst output " & (POSIXpath of theFolder) & "/" & theFileName &"_%03d.pdf"
                                                  delete theFile
                                                endrepeat
                                    end try
                     endtell
end adding folder items to
-- end burst script
the shell script that is called is in the format:
pdftk myfile.pdf burst
the output parameter basically adds the page number to the end of the original filename for each file that is created
my idea was to attach the folder action script to the 'PDFs_from_Mail' folder, and when the first script is called, the file would be saved to that folder and trigger the folder action script burst the file. it works for individual messages, but when I try using it with the hundreds of messages that I have, all kinds of crazy things happen... the filenames are all wrong and it seems like it goes on infinitely.
My familiarity with applescript is somewhat limited (as you may have guessed) and I'm wondering if there is a better approach. perhaps if I incorporate the shell script into the script called from mail it may streamline everything.
my problem is that I am not sure what code I need to keep in each script.
can anyone take a quick look at this and give me some advice?
my goal is to have these individual pages in a folder so that I can use quick view to page through them. if the pdf is more than one page, then I have to get involved in scrolling up/down and it becomes difficult to find things efficiently.
thanks!

just a quick update and a general questions about applescripting with shell scripts...
i attached the above folder action burst script to a folder, and have been dragging pdf files into it, one at a time.
sometimes the script runs fine and the new files are created and the old pdf is deleted. other times, there is a long delay between when I drop a pdf file into the folder and when the new files are created. and sometimes nothing even happens at all (uaually if i dont wait for at least 30 seconds or so between dropping the files in the folder). I also noticed that the window title text (area showing the folder name at the top of the finder window) becomes grayed out when the script is running and sometimes it remains grayed out for a few minutes after the script has run.
could it be that the shell script just takes a really long time to work? i am afraid to drop more than one file at a time as the last time I tried that the output was all wrong and I had to force quit processes and shut down.

Importing text file (with file names) into Automator.. is it possible?

Hello all,
I have been working with Windows Batch files for my line of work. I have a couple of file names in a text file (a column), which I want to copy from one folder of one hdd to another folder on a different hdd. I have been trying to do this kind of work with a Mac. I already know how you copy and rename files in automator (which isn't difficult, of course) but you have to 'select' the files in the finder first (with get specified items).
But the only way i see that you can specify items is by selecting them... is there a way to import a text file with all the file names instead of selecting all the file names manually?
or is there an AppleScript alternative which I can use to import the text file (or just copy into applescript) and run before the query's of copying and renaming the files? I am kind of new to Apple programming.
The text file looks like this:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
etc..
so there has to be a command to: 'goto' a specific folder as well.
Thanks in advance!

You can import text files, but if they are just names you will need an additional action to add the source folder path. A *Run AppleScript* action can be used, for example:
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for Finder Items* {Type: files } -- choose the text file containing the names
2) *Combine Text Files* -- this gets the text file contents
3) *Filter Paragraphs* { return paragraphs that are not empty } -- skip blank lines
4) *Run AppleScript* -- copy and paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- add folder path
add the specified folder path to a list of file names
input: a list of text items (the file names)
output: a list of file paths (aliases)
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder containing the file names") as text -- this is the folder containing the names
repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each name in the input
try
set AnItem to SourceFolder & AnItem -- add the prefix
set the end of the output to (AnItem as alias) -- test
on error number ErrorNumber -- oops
set ErrorNumber to (" (" & ErrorNumber as text) & ")" -- add the specific error number
set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) & ErrorNumber
end try
end repeat
ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow
parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped
returns nothing
if SkippedItems is not {} then
set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
if TheCount is greater than 1 then
set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
else
set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
end if
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}

Batch Printing with File Names in Photoshop CS5

How can I batch print hundreds of images with the file name on each of the print? I also need them to be printed at their original dimensions, which mean they should not be scaled when printed to papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Noel. However, the images to be printed at their actual dimensions and resolution (300ppi). This is so that we can see how their qualities are going to be when they are printed the actual publication, which is at 300ppi.
What I used to be able to do in CS3 is creating an action in Photoshop that contains a print command with "label" or file name option on. Then I ran the script through the batch command in Bridge. However, in CS5, when I tried to same method, all of the images are printed at 1/2 an inch while they are actually 3-5 inches at 300ppi. Therefore, I am trying to another method that would give me the same result.

How to import MP3 with file name into library, rather than tag?

I've been given a CD with about 200 MP3s of lectures. They are to be listened to in order, and the file names reflect the order number, like "lecture 1", "lecture 2", etc. However, when I drag them all into iTunes, the names in the iTunes library don't include the file names - they are simply "lecture", which I guess must come from a tag in the MP3 file. So iTunes is ignoring the file name and thus I end up with 200 entries in my iTunes library that can't be ordered properly. How can I get it to use the file name when importing?
Mike

If you have your iTunes preferences set to keep your iTunes Music folder organized, it's possible that even the file names have changed according to the files' tags. In that case, you'll need to (at least temporarily) disable this option and import the files from your CD again.
Once you're sure the files have been successfully added to your iTunes library and the file names kept intact, you can use the Filenames to Song Names script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes.
This should get everything sorted out.

Fill array with file names

What am I missing? I've got alerts that should pop up if it works and if it fails but instead it does nothing, I'm sure its possible to create an array that is made up of all the file names of a folder. In the past I've had to enter all the values one a time and some of these folders have 200+ files in it.
#target illustrator
filltotesTempArr
function filltotesTempArr()
var toteTemparray = new Array(toteTemps)
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var allFiles = artPath.getFiles(order);
var toteTemps
if (allFiles.length > 0)
    for (i=0;i<allFiles.length;i++)
            toteTemps = toteTemps + app.open(allFiles[i] )
          }//end for
      alert("Your array has the current values:" + toteTemps);
    }//end if
    else
    alert("Script to fill Totes Templates Array has failed");

I need to take all the files inside of a folder, and put their file names in an array like this;
var totesarr1= new Array ("A165331","A165332","A165333","A165334","A165337","A165338","A165344","A165348", "A165349",

var toteTemparray = new Array(toteTemps)
var order = new RegExp(input);
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var totetempnames = toteTempPath.getFiles();
var totetemps = new Array ()
var allFiles = toteTempPath.getFiles();
if (allFiles.length > 0)
    for (i=0;i<allFiles.length;i++)
            toteTemps = toteTemps + "," + app.open(allFiles[i])
          }//end for
      alert("Your array has the current values:" + toteTemps);
    }//end if
    else
    alert("Script to fill Totes Templates Array has failed");
alert ("Script is Done")
but even this dosn't work like it should
#target Illustrator
GetTempNames;
function GetTempNames ()
var toteTempPath = Folder ("S:/Illustrator JS Palette/Direct Template Calls/Totes");
var toteTempNames = toteTempPath.getFiles()
var totetemparr = new Array ( toteTempNames )
alert ("script is done get ready");
    alert ("Here " + totetemparr);
so now I'm at a loss

Upgraded ROX filer not executing shell scripts

Hi all,
I run ICEWM+ROX filer as my lite desktop but after a recent upgrade, ROX does not execute shell scripts on mouse click. It appears that filetype detection has changed so that all scripts are shown with the shellscript icon, whereas before those without a .sh extension where shown with the kde type "cogwheel".
Any tips much appreciated.
My thanks in advance!

I've found a lot of things I don't like about the latest ROX upgrade... too much caching nowadays in my opinion.

Concatenate sysdate with file name in shell script
