Copying data from a web page into Numbers

I frequently use a Keyword Density Analysis Tool on the web that displays three columns and perhaps 50 to 100 rows of data. There is no export or save to csv, so I just highlight the three columns, copy and paste into a blank Excel spreadsheet - and hey presto, I get three columns of data. that I can sort and analyse. When I do the same with Numbers I get three columns but all the data ends up in three rows - please see attached. Is there a simple way around this because I am trying to stop using Excel? Thanks./Volumes/garyloch/Public/Screenshots/Picture 2.png

The only way I was able to reproduce what you described is to run the script after copying a picture.
Here is a refined version.
It make two attempts to grab text items from the clipboard.
If both failed, it send an error message.
--[SCRIPT table2text]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : table2text.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Applications.
Copiez vos données dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > table2text
Le presse-papiers sera alimenté par le composant Text ou utf8 du contenu initial.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: table2text.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy your block of datas to the Clipboard.
menu Scripts > table2text
The Clipboard will be filled with the text or the utf8 component of its original contents.

How do I add dates from a web page into iCal?

Hello. I would love to find a way to input dates from a web page, into iCal as an event. Right now, if there is a conference or whatever that is on such and such a date, I have to keep the web page open that has the dates and time, and then open iCal, and create a new event on that date, etc. Is there a way to highlight said dates on a web page, run some automation, and voila, it is a new event in iCal?

Don't double tap. Just try pressing on the text. That should highlight it.

Get xml data from a web service into Forms?

Hello folks! I am reading active directory info from a web service into forms via imported java classes. I can read from functions that return strings just fine, but I have to get the output from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument. How do I read this in and parse it in Forms?
I will be grateful if y'all could point me to an example.
Thank you,
Gary
P.S. Here is a snippet of how I get the full name by passing an ID:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := ADSoapClient.new;
rv := ADSoapClient.getUserName(jo, 'user_ID');
:block3.fullname := rv;

Hello,
Since you are already dealing with server-side JAVA, I would suggest you create a method that would do the parsing server-side and what your PL/SQL will be dealing with is just the return string.
Here is a method I use to read an XML file (actually, it is an Oracle Reports file converted to XML) and from the string version, I will do search, replace and other things.
So, from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument, you can adapt this method to get your data server-side and let the form module read the output data.
<blockquote>
private String processFileXml(String fileName, int iFile) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException,
IOException, XPathExpressionException{
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);
StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
serializer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(stw));
return stw.toString();
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(0);
return "OK";

Let me know if this is of nay help.
Thanks.

Possible to read data from a web browser into java?

Is it possible to read data from a web browser such as IE or Mozilla into a java applet for use and manipulation? If it is, could someone please post some documentation I could look at or a snip-it of code I could use? Thanks.

This will read the content from a site:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class Test {
     public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
          URL u = new URL("http://www.google.com");
          URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
          String text;
          while( (text = br.readLine()) != null ) {
               System.out.println(text);
}

I'm composing an e-mail, and I copy/paste from a web page.

Let's suppose I copy / paste from a web document. For the sake of argument I'm using Mail. A black box appears around the pasted part (with a "X" in the corner).
But, if I do a second paste, the new text is always inside the old box, therefore screwing up the indent.
I can't get the curser to start outside the box. How can I get rid of the box while composing?
Yes, the box disappears when I click outside it, but re-appears if I go for a new line below it.
Here's an example of how it looks.
#1. The fox.
The quick brown fox jumped over the i-mac.
#2. I'm frustrated that I can't paste or type where the first line started, indent wise.
Once the curser is after the word i-mac, and I try to move it down, the next line always goes to the indent of "The" and not #1.

I take you are trying to write an email within Safari, try this open Safari and click on the Safari menu and select reset Safari.

Auto-Copying data from a web browser

if this can be done , please direct me somwhere to read and find out , or anything that would help me in finishing this one !
thnx in adnvace

If the webpage has to be shown, I've used JDIC WebBrowser, and used its executeScript. with stuff like myObject.value="boo"; to do this. It worked quite well.
If it does not, use URL and build the URL.

How do I copy text from a web page in Safari?

I've searched up and down and can't find the answer to this simple question.
There is a UI element that I want to copy to the clipboard and then paste into Excel. The UI element is:
static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
The contents of this static text on the web page is "$1,000.00"
How can I copy this to the clipboard?
I've tried:
select static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
keystroke "c" using command down
keystroke "l" using command down
keystroke "v" using command down
but it doesn't work. "Select" doesn't actually seem to select anything. However, when I run this from within Script Editor, in the Results Window I get:
{static text "$1000.00" of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari" of application "System Events"}
... I'm confused as to what this is telling me. All I want is to copy this value to the clipboard. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Jeff

Try this:
set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))

The data from my web page insert in SQL table as question marks

I use Farsi language in my web page for inserting customer data. The data that is inserted in webpage and submitted, showed as ???? in SQL table. A lot of developers say that I should use N' before the Unicode character, but I don't know how I can use it
in my code. I attached the code. Can someone say me where I should insert the N in my code?
protected void cmdInsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Checking the validation of required fields
if (cboCustomerType.Text == "" || cboTitle.Text == "" || SearchableName.Text == "" ||
FinalName.Text == "" || NationalID.Text == "" || BusinessID.Text == "" || MobilePhone.Text == "")
lblStatus.Text = "لطفا فیلدهای اجباری را حتما پر کنید";
return;
//define ADO.NET objects.
string insertSQL;
insertSQL = "INSERT INTO Customers(";
insertSQL += "CustomerType,CustomerTitle,CustomerFirstName,CustomerLastName,CompanyType,";
insertSQL += "CompanyName,SearchableName,FinalName,NationalCode,BusinessID,City,Address,PostalCode,";
insertSQL += "Zone,MobileNumber,WorkPhone1,WorkPhone2,HomePhone,FaxNumber,Email,Website,Note)";
insertSQL += "VALUES('";
insertSQL += cboCustomerType.Text + "','";
insertSQL += cboTitle.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CustomerFirstName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CustomerLastName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += cboCompanyType.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CompanyName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += SearchableName.Text + "','";

insertSQL += FaxNumber.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Email.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Website.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Note.Text + "')";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertSQL, con);
//try to open the database and execute the insert
int added = 0;
try
con.Open();
added = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
lblStatus.Text = added.ToString() + "اضافه شد";
catch (Exception err)
lblStatus.Text = "Error inserting record.";
lblStatus.Text += err.Message;
finally
con.Close();
//If the insert succeed, refresh the customer list.
if (added > 0)
FillCustomerList();
Regards,

Because you're composing the SQL statement with string concatenation, you would put the "N" before the single quote,
VALUES(N'";
insertSQL += cboCustomerType.Text + "',N'";
insertSQL += cboTitle.Text + "',N'"; // ...etc
However, composing SQL statements with string concatenation is not a suggested practice because it's open to SQL injection (see:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953(v=sql.105).aspx). A safer way to do this is to use command parameters to represent the values (see SqlCommand.Parameters
property). If you use parameters, you can specify parameter data type as SqlDbType.NVarchar, which will ensure your text values are passed in as Unicode. Also ensure that the columns in question are defined in the database table definition as Unicode (NVARCHAR
rather than VARCHAR).
Hope this helps, Bob

Automated process to pull data from a web page without using VS and PS.

Hello,
I'm looking at finding a solution to pull data from an external web page and creating a list. I'm looking for a NON-POWERSHELL AND NON-VISUAL STUDIO solution. I am open to using InfoPath Designer.
There exists a custom, non-SharePoint page built for us which has raw data. We've already created a custom list to match the data and now need to come up with a solution to automatically update the data. In this particular scenario, power shell and visual
studio cannot be used.
Thanks in advance.

Why would you cripple yourself and restrict PowerShell at the very least which has perfect functionality for doing exactly that.
I doubt you could use the InfoPath data sources to pull the raw data in, re-map it and save to SharePoint without resorting to some sort of coding within InfoPath.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response. This helps people in future when searching and helps prevent the same questions being asked multiple times.

How get data from another web page?

I have my own interface..after i key In a keyword and click search, method post will post the data to server and server will response.write a HTML page that display the result based on the keyword i Key In. The problem is i want the result display on my own page. So how can i read the search result from the HTML page and display on my own design page? I use JSP to built my page. thanks

I dont know the following solution would solve ur problem, atleast u will get basic idea.
1st method
Create an inline frame (IE-IFrame etc), On pressing submit button, Post the data to required page (it might be some page on another server)and specify post target is ur inline frame.
if u want filter the result data and want to display in ur own way then send ur POST request to ur own JSP and use Http classes to read resend those data to other page (another server) and capture the results implement ur own logic to get desired data and resend to the requested browser
I hope it would solve ur problem
Cheers

FF crashes everytime I try to "copy" anything from any web page.

I recently updated Firefox and Windows. Since then everytime I try to copy a word or sentence on any web page, Firefox crashes as soon as I hit copy

I checked all add ons by disabling each one and testing. Still not allowing copy. Finally backed up profile and reinstalled firefox. Working OK so far.

Applescript to copy cells from excel and paste into numbers

Hi  community! I find myself needing your assistance once again. I'm new to applescript and it's my first scripting language. I'm trying to create a script that will copy a block of cells in an excel spreadsheet with multiple sheets and paste that info (preferably with a keystroke) into a numbers template. I've written a successful script to activate Excel, go to the sheet with the info, copy it, then open a Numbers template from My Templates. The problem I can't solve on my own is how to select the right cell on the right table on the right sheet and Paste and Match Style.
Some helpful info:
-I've changed my [Command+V] keystroke in Numbers to "Paste and Match Style" because this is a very common action for me
-The Numbers template is pretty big, but does open on the correct sheet for the paste
Here's what I have so far: (sorry for the center justification, but it wasn't displaying correctly)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate
set myActiveWook to "OG3.9.xls"
select worksheet "Blank1"
select range "E8:E32" of worksheet "Blank1"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
select worksheet "Inputs"
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set the templatenames to the name of every template
set thistemplatename to "PQ10a" as string
make new document with properties ¬
{document template:template "PQ10a"}
end tell
end tell
From here I was trying this, but couldn't get it to work. it would paste the data the first time into the script editor, then in the middle of the template if run a second time.
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set the templatenames to the name of every template
set thistemplatename to "PQ10a" as string
make new document with properties ¬
{document template:template "PQ10a"}
tell table "10" of sheet "INPUTS" of document 1
set selectrange to cell "B2"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
end tell
+
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hey Priya,
The best way to do this would be by utilising the Excel Import Wizard. These help files provide a thorough explanation into their use:

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370859J-01/gfsexcel/gfsexcel/dlgexcimp2_dialog/
If you're interested in doing this programatically, this knowledge base article goes through that as well:

Pasting from a web page into a File-Save dialog no longer works; causes a freeze-up

When I place an order on Amazon, I copy the order number, then print the invoice to .pdf. When the file save dialog comes up, I paste in the order number as part of the file name. I used to, that is. At some point the pasting part no longer worked: nothing (visible anyway) is pasted, but something is happening, as the file save process hangs, and I have to use task manager to kill it. Then, the print process is trashed - if you try to print again, you get an error - and I have to restart Firefox to clear that.
This copy/paste procedure works fine in IE & Chrome.

The only way I was able to reproduce what you described is to run the script after copying a picture.
Here is a refined version.
It make two attempts to grab text items from the clipboard.
If both failed, it send an error message.
