Create JVM from my own dll

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a JVM from within a windows dlln (vc++6) I'm writing. In the DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH method of my dll I call a method called createJavaVM, this method creates the virtual machine.
Using that method in a simple console application works ok, but using it in my dll it hangs and seems to wait forever. If I use -verbose:jni it shows 5 similar lines, all about [Dynamic linking native method java.lang.... JNI].
I'm using jdk1.5.0_04.
Can someone help me with this problem?

Can't create JVM from JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, (void**)&env, &vm_args);

I'm new in using JNI. When i compile the C program that invoke the JAVA program, everthing goes fine. I can obtain the the "exe" from the compilation.
But when i run the "exe" file it display "can't create Java VM". Here is the part of the code in C program:
........//other code
JNI_VERSION_1_2
JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;
JavaVMOption options[1];
options[0].optionString =
"-Djava.class.path=" USER_CLASSPATH;
vm_args.version = 0x00010002;
vm_args.options = options;
vm_args.nOptions = 1;
vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_TRUE;
/* Create the Java VM */
res = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, (void**)&env, &vm_args);
if (res < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't create Java VM\n");
exit(1);
.......//other code
I'm using JDK1.3, and windows ME.
Can anyone tell me the problem?

I think you need to get the address of the create function from the jvm.dll at runtime and call that: this works for me:
     HINSTANCE handle;
     JavaVMOption options[5];
     char JREHome[MAX_PATH];
     char JVMPath[MAX_PATH];
     char classpathOption[MAX_PATH];
     char librarypathOption[MAX_PATH];
     if(!GetPublicJREHome(JREHome, MAX_PATH))
          LogError("Could not locate JRE");
          abort();
     strcpy(JVMPath,JREHome);
     strcat(JVMPath,"\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll");
    if ((handle=LoadLibrary(JVMPath))==0)
          LogError("Error loading: %s", JVMPath);
          abort();
    CreateJavaVM_t pfnCreateJavaVM=(CreateJavaVM_t)GetProcAddress(handle,"JNI_CreateJavaVM");

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll?

Let me explain.
I have this java jar file that I can only have one instance of running at any given time. I'm using a shared data segment in a dll to store a bool indicating whether the program is already running or not. If it's already running, I have to not run the second instance and give focus to the current running instance.
The jar file calls a native method "canInstantiate()" on a dll to see if there's already an app running. If there isn't, the env and obj are stored in the shared data segment of the dll and we return true. If there is already an instance of the program running, I want canInstantiate call a function on the current instance of the jar (like a callback) to tell it to request focus. It's not working. Can someone tell me if my code is right?
The .h file
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <jni.h>
#include "CardServer.h"
#pragma data_seg("SHARED") // Begin the shared data segment.

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll
...The rest of your question merely expands on your title.
And the answer to that question is no.
When you call a method you are executing a "thread of execution." A thread of execution exists only in a single process. It can not exist in another process.
If the dll is doing some interesting things then you could call a method that sets a flag. Data can move between instances. But you would then have to have a thread in that different process monitoring that flag. And sharing data in a dll is not a normal process, so it would have to be coded appropriately.
If all you want to do is set the current focus to the existing application, then that can be done with existing windows functionality. You don't need to do anything special in your dll. You can probably search these forums to find the exact code. If not there are countless examples in windows repositories (like MSDN) on how to do that.

What happened to the feature enabling me to create a signature from my own files?

I have been able to sign my PDF forms from my own files now I cannot do this where or when did this feature disappear ??

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

Problem invoking JVM from Windows

Hi all,

Hey guys :)
I incorporated the changes suggested by David and "reberst" and then did the stuff told by "LathaDhamo".
Now I am able to invoke the VM without problems and my test program runs and displays windows and takes in input etc.. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
But now, I noticed that all this happens only when I am in debug mode in VC++ and step thru the program. When my external program loads the DLL I created automatically, I get the error message that the "JavaTest" class was not found. This will lead to errors when I deploy the DLL or package it for others. How do I ensure that the class is always found? What do I have to do?
I am sorry for being so amtuerish and asking so many questions. This is my first time using JNI from the native side.
Thank you,
vijai.

Launching a 64 bit jvm from a 32 bit jvm

I want to launch a 64 bit jvm from a 32 bit jvm. The current application works like this
1) The parent jvm A allows users to launch a child jvm B. Child jvm B inherits A's libraries (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and also A's classpath entries.
2) User can specify his/her own libraries that are to be passed to B (child jvm). These entries are prepended to the inherited entries (A.LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
3) User can specify his/her own classpath entries that are to be added to B. These entries are appended to the inherited entries (A.classapth).
The whole idea behind making the child jvm configurable is that the user can specify a suitable jvm for the child. But optionally the user might specify a different java home (pointing to a 64bit jre/jdk).
Questions :
1) Would simply changing the java for the child suffice? That is instead of
java -classpath=<inherited-entries:specified-entries> abc
we do
-user-specified-java -classpath=<inherited-entries:specified-entries> abc
I have seen that the jvm uses the java.home from the java provided while launching the jvm. Example
$java -version
1.5
$java abc
// will use default java's home as java home internally
$/usr/lib/java-64/jdk/bin/java -version
1.5 64bit
$/usr/lib/java-64/jdk/binjava abc
// will use /usr/lib/java-64/jdk as java home internally
2) How will the classpath entries and libraries interact/interfere with the newly spawned jvm?
Here if the user specifies new libraries for 64 bit jvm, how will they interact/interfere with the 32bit libs.
3) What about native(esp jni) libraries?
Bigger picture :
If A is running sun java jdk1.5_a (32bit) and user can specify B as
1) sun jdk 1.x_y (32bit) such that x_y != 5_a
2) sun jdk 64 bit
3) any other 32 bit java implementation (ibm, jrocket ...)
4) any other 64 bit java implementation (ibm, jrocket ...)

You cannot do it without creating a new process.
ProcessBuilder/Runtime.exec() create a new process. The new process can do anything.
You can set the environment using either.
Yes. The process B will be spawned either using ProcessBuilder or using Runtime. The question still remains,
Q: If I have a classpath defined already for a particular java implementation and the LD_LIBRARY path is all set, what will be effect of changing the default java.
Example :
If my classpath and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to use/work-with /usr/lib/javaA/ then
"/usr/lib/javaA/jre/bin/java -classpath $classpath abc" will work smoothly
But what will happen if I do classpath=$classpath:$new-javaB-classpath-entries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH_FOR_B:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
"/usr/lib/javaB/jre/bin/java -classpath $classpath abc"

Here if the user specifies new libraries for 64 bit jvm, how will they interact/interfere with the 32bit libs.
3) What about native(esp jni) libraries?
New process = new environment.
If there is a problem it is because of how you set it up or how they are used in the first place.I am more interested in the if. My question is can it happen and if yes whats the explanation and how to solve it.
>
As an example if an app needs a 64 bit library and there is only a 32 bit library then what happens depends entirely on the app that needs the 64 bit library. That question would be the same if you attempted to run the application from a console window.So here is another way of looking at it. Imagine you want to kick off a 64 bit java app from your console. Assume that you can only prepend to classpath. Also you can append to LD path. Now you have provided all that is needed for the app to run. But under the classpath constraints, what will be the behaviour?

Can not select from my own MV. Please help.

Hello Gurus,
I have created a MV with following clauses
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "OWNER_NAME1"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2 .... from table1,table2
where .....
I have logged in to DB with the 'owner_name1' schema itself which is the owner of the MV.
But, when I try to select from the above MV. It gives error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
I can see the same under 'user_objects' view as an object of owner_name1 schema.
Could you please help me in understanding where I have gone wrong?

1) I have 2 Database and their users as follows
bq. i) DB1 in local server - 'localUser'
bq. ii) DB2 in remote server - 'RemoteUser1' and 'RemoteUser2'
2) 'RemoteUser2' user in DB2 has 'select' privilage on table 'RemoteTable1' of 'RemoteUser1' ( both are remote DB's users ! )
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1; --works okay when logged into RemoteUser2. no synonyms are created hence using schema_name.table_name convention.
3) Logged in to 'localUser' in DB1.
4) Created a DB link 'local_to_remote2' in 'localUser' schema ( in DB1) to 'RemoteUser2' schema (in DB2)
i.e.
create database link local_to_remote2 connect to RemoteUser2 identified by password using 'connection_string';
DBLink was created successfully.
5) I could select from the tables of 'RemoteUser2' using DB Link. (by logging in to 'localUser')
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2 ; --- gives me expected output. no issues!
6) Now, I created below MV in 'localUser' ( no need to tell in 'DB1' )
the exact syntax I used is as follows,
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "localUser"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2
From RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2
where condition1
and condition2;
The MV was created successfully, and I could see it as an 'Valid' object of 'localUser' schema.
i.e. select * from user_objects where object_name ='MV_NAME1' and status ='VALID' --- tells that above create MV is an object of owner 'localUser'
But, when I try to select from the said MV. it gives me error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
i.e. select * from MV_Name1; ---- neither this
select * from localUser.MV_Name1; ---- nor this works :(
Even when I try to drop the same MV it gives me same error. :(
Could you please suggest me anything so that I will be able to select from MY OWN MV ?
Please help Gurus.

CREATE SEQUENCE from a stored procedure

Hello,
Is it possible, to create a sequence object from an own written stored procedure? Can I reinitialize the actual value of a sequence object without recreating it from a stored procedure?
Thank you for recommendations,

EvaluatingTteststand 4.2.1: Null pointer access violation (error 17502) when attempting to use a mixed-mode std::map / boost shared_ptr class contained in a DLL through an interface from a different DLL

Hi there.
I have been working on a test system which will potentially have TestStand at its core, and downloaded/installed the 4.2.1 evaluation. Current details from the information dialog are:
TestStand Engine version 4.2.1 (4.2.1.83)
Sequence Editor Verison 4.2.1.83
The system will drive mobile radio devices using RS232 serial interfaces, usnig a variety of serial protocols (Hayes, and a couple of proprietary binary protocols for other work).
We already have in existence a soak tester, written in VS2005 with MFC unmanaged DLLs and also managed DLLs, which are mixed up together to provide different aspects of the functionality required for the binary protocols.
I have created:
1. a "master wrapper" DLL for the constellation of other DLLs - this offers up a simple C-API interface which I hope TestStand will use. It's called "SerialSessionMgr.dll""
2. a mixed managed / unmanaged "IJW" (it just works) DLL which wraps up the binary logging protocol control interfaces, which are entirely in managed C++/CLI: the "master wrapper" DLL calls into this through an unmanaged interface to create instances of the CLI-compiled class which interfaces to the underlying managed DLLs imlpementing the logging protocol. This is called "WinTseInterface.dll".
Before I started evaluating TestStand, I knocked up a test harness using CPPUnit / MFC, with which I was able to test SerialSessionMgr.dll and its' use of WinTseInterface.dll and verify they worked. The harness loads the DLL dynamically at run-time using AfxLoadLibrary() to try to emulate the way TestStand uses it.
When we open a
TSE session:
The SerialSessionManager makes a call to the
WinTseInterface.dll to "create" a logging instance. The instance is
created in a std::map which is held by the CWinApp derived class, this map
contains boost::shared_ptr of the class which works with a managed class. So we
have a call trace: Client
app->SerialSessionManager{TseStartSession()}->WinTseInterface{WINTSE_GetWinTseBridge()} - WINTSE_GetWinTseBridge()
just creates a new instance of the unmanaged class which interfaces through to
the managed CLI/C++ class beneath, and returns the address to the
SerialSessionManager, which stores it.
The SerialSessioManager actually initialises the WinTseBridge using a method of a C++ pure virtual interface class to the class in the std::map in the WinTseInterface DLL
implements. The initialise call passes miscellaneous details and actually calls
"gcnew" to create the managed class which interfaces to the
underlying managed DLLs which implement the logging protocol.
My logs of the DLL loading as seen in VS2005 debug output are attached this message as PDFs
While trying to fix this, I have tried:
Enhancing the WinTseInterface DLL so it manually loads all the other assemblies in the logging system, including the managed portion of WinTseInterface itself (no effect)
All the different options for the way the C DLL adapter loads and unloads the DLL in the DLL adapter steptype in TestStand
I've even tried calling directly into the WinTseInterface DLL before trying any SerialSessionManager DLL calls to try to load the WinTseInterface DLL completely beforehand
and I cannot stop this exception.
It seems like the object is created in the WinTseInterface DLL OK (I have debugged the creation step which runs for WINTSE_GetWinTseBridge() and the object is created OK) when the SerialSessionManager makes the call, but when it calls the first managed function, which creates the managed object, the DLL is reloaded as managed - I suspect this causes the object to be destroyed or overwritten, and thus the call to initialise bombs with null pointer violation.
Have I done something obviously wrong, and what other approaches can I take?
Does TestStand 4.2.1 have issues with driving DLLs which use managed/unmanaged DLLs beneath them?
My nuclear option is to throw the WinTseInterface DLL out completely and wrap up the managed C++ CLI code in a new interface, entirely managed, and use the TestStand ".Net" adaptor to drive that, creating my step library to run to that directly. This isn't ideal as I have some co-ordination of the protocols which is implemented in the SerialSessionMgr DLL.
I hope someone can help. This one's low level, dirty and a stumper to me.
Many thanks to the NI community. This is my first posting!
Solved!

Hi there Ray.
First - many thanks for engaging with this thorny problem. Love the avatar BTW.
I've been using the C/C++ DLL adapter: the original premise of the Serial Session Manager DLL was to provide a simple C type functional interface, using simple data types, so that TestStand would be able to drive the underlying functionality easily through a single DLL.
Seeing as you've been kind enough to respond, I should explain the makeup of the DLLs a little more, I think.
The SerialSessionManager (SSMgr) DLL uses C++ and MFC internally. This is the DLL which TestStand calls into directly through the C/C++ adapter. This DLL does have one odd feature though - because the it uses the Windows Multimedia Timer (implemented in WinMM.dll) I had to artificially create a scenario where it would load the .Net mscoree DLL _before_ it loads WinMM.dll - (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/329819/freelibrary-in-the-winmm-dlls-modu...), basically WinMM.dll's init code gets rather upset when .Net DLLs load, which causes the entire executable to be unloaded with subsequent crashes.
To work around this crash, the SSMgr has a single, completely empty, file which is compiled for CLR, effectively forcing a dependency into the DLL on the .Net subsystems and turning the DLL into a "IJW" binary. The resulting DLL doesn't actually have any executable managed .Net assemblies, but I'm guessing that it does contain enough .Net related stubs and information that when the DLL is loaded, mscoree.dll loads before WinMM.dll - and this means the system doesn't crash.
Now, on to the WinTseInterface DLL. My initial description of this little software system was done in something of a hurry.
This DLL is the C++/CLI "IJW" DLL which actually contains managed and unmanaged code. Underneath the WinTseInterface DLL is another system of (this time exclusively C++/CLI) DLL assemblies which implement the TSE protocol interpretation system.
When the SSMgr DLL needs to start a TSE protocol session, it calls a C-API function in the WinTseInterface which creates a new CWinTseBridge class. Here's the steps in a little more detail:
SSMgr DLL calls WINTSE_GetWinTseBridge(), passing in the name of the device which needs it (this is used to put the new WinTseBridge into a std::map in the WinTseInterface DLL) - this call runs just fine, and returns the address of the CWinTseBridge C++ object. This is stored in the SSMgr, because the CWinTseBridge class implements a pure virtual interface which is used by the SSMgr as a way of accessing the CWinTseBridge methods.
We now use the address from (1) to make a call to CWinTseBridge::Initialise(), passing some basic configuration details.
I've run VS2005 debug on the Sequence Editor when running the test, and done F11 step-throughs of the code loading each parameter in the Initialise() call onto the stack, and what appears to happen is that when the call is made, the whole lot steps off into oblivion (a reference to 0x00000000 is made, I think).
Do you think it's worth trying to get this approach to work? It would be useful to retain the control surface in the top of the SSMgr as there is co-ordination of the protocols within the logic of that component. If I move the Wintse control out into a separate managed DLL I may not have that co-ordination (this might be overcome with some design, as I've confirmed that it is possible to "reach into" the WinTseInterface DLL with TestStand and create and use managed objects from assemblies contained within).
Are there any known issues with this version of TestStand using C/C++ CLI IJW DLLs? I haven't found much out there on the web.

Error on running JVM from a C program

Hello there!!
I'm using Open Watcom as a C compiler on Windows XP. I'm trying to run a JVM from a C program.
I have specified the following as a library file :
C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\lib\jvm.lib
The code compiles very well, but I'm getting an error when running it.
Windows tells me the following :
"The entry point of the function ??_7VM_GetCurrentLocation@@6B@ can't be found in jvm.dll dynamic linking library"
The code I've been trying to run is the following one :
#include <jni.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void main()
JavaVMOption options[3];
JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;
JavaVM *jvm;
JNIEnv *jenv;
long result;
jmethodID mid;
jfieldID fid;
jobject jobj;
jclass cls;
int asize;
printf("coucou\n");
getchar();
options[0].optionString = ".";

I already did PATH.
Open a console window.
Explicitly set PATH to point ONLY to the appropriate java directory (where the dll is and executable) using something like the following
set PATH=C:\xxx\yyy
Then run your app again in the console window - no where else.

Cannot create mysites from powershell: Original XSLT List View Web Part not found

I have a bizarre problem in my SharePoint 2013 farm. This does not occur in my test farm, only in the farm we were going to go live with.
I'm on windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 SP1, SharePoint 2013 April CU. 1 appserver/centraladmin server, 2 web servers.
When I log into our mysitehost and click newsfeed, it will create a mysite (even though first it displays "we are sorry there was a problem creating your site")
But from powershell, whether I use $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite() or New-SPSite, I get the following error:
Original XSLT List View Web Part not found
So far I've only found one other person with this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2503e42c-e114-4e89-8e00-89fe70f0b154/cannot-create-sharepoint-mysite-programmatically
This is a brand new farm, created with the same scripts I created my test farm with, and same version of SharePoint. Only the service accounts are different. (Farm account has admin on the servers right now since I was setting up profile service).
Some other errors from the same correlation ID that look related:
It can't seem to find the listemplate 101
And something looks wrong with the MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
I have tried the following:
1. run psconfig.exe on each server
2. install-spfeature -AllExistingFeatures
3. looped through the directory under Features and for each called Install-SPFeature $dirname -Force
4. uninstalled and reinstalled MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
5. blew away the whole farm (removed all servers from farm, deleted all databases) and recreated it.
6. tried creating the UPA from the CentralAdmin gui.
The only real difference I can think of between the working farm and non working farm is, I installed the working farm using RTM, then as they came out added the March PU and April CU. For this farm I installed RTM and March and April, and then ran my build
farm script.
I am at a loss. What do I need to do, re-install the binaries? That's all I can think of. What I love is that our test / POC system worked fine, and now 2 weeks before go-live I'm seeing errors on the production servers I've never seen before. Using the
same scripts no less.

I've had other problems in this farm: the bug where when you add Administrators to a Search Service via the Manage Service Applications page, it removes the SPSearchDBAdmin role from the search service process account. That one did not happen in the other farm.
At least other people have that one and I could just use the farm admin instead (still troublng of course).

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

Automator: Create folder from suffix of filename and put file names with same suffix into folder

I've been using a script to use automator to create a folder from the filename and put that file into it the folder just created.
I have a bunch of files that have similar names to them, but I don't want every file to be put into its own folder, instead I want all files with the same suffix (001) to go into the same folder. I would also like the folder name to just be named the same as the suffix (001) instead of the full file name.
For example all of these files names that end with the same integer (001) should be dumped into the same folder named "001":
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_3840x2160_24p_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_3840x2160_24p_RAW_Audio_001
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_002
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_005
Boston_ProRes422_1920x1080_24p_Audio_010
Any help at all would be incredible!!
Thanks!
Here's the script I'm using right now:
on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
try
set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
tell application "Finder"
move anItem to destination
set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
end tell
on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
log errorMessage
# handle errors if desired - just skip for now
end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
set theContainer to the path of the container
set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
set theName to text 1 thru -((count theExtension) + 2) of theName -- just the name part
set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
set theParent to theParent as text
if theParent begins with "/" then set theParent to theParent as POSIX file as text
try
return (theParent & theChild) as alias
on error errorMessage -- no folder
log errorMessage
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at theParent with properties {name:theChild}
return the result as alias
end try
end makeNewFolder

Thanks Neil for the response! That script didn't work, but I did get it to work with my old script by changing "set TheName to" numbers different. Here's my final script which creates folders named "001", "002", and so forth and dumps in the files that end in that same suffix in the matching folder.
on run {input, parameters} -- create folders from file names and move
set output to {} -- this will be a list of the moved files
repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
set {theContainer, theName, theExtension} to (getTheNames from anItem)
try
set destination to (makeNewFolder for theName at theContainer)
tell application "Finder"
move anItem to destination
set the end of the output to the result as alias -- success
end tell
on error errorMessage -- duplicate name, permissions, etc
log errorMessage
# handle errors if desired - just skip for now
end try
end repeat
return the output -- pass on the results to following actions
end run
to getTheNames from someItem -- get a container, name, and extension from a file item
tell application "System Events" to tell disk item (someItem as text)
set theContainer to the path of the container
set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension}
end tell
if theExtension is not "" then
set theName to text -5 thru -((count theExtension) + 4) of theName -- just the name part
set theExtension to "." & theExtension
end if
return {theContainer, theName, theExtension}
end getTheNames
to makeNewFolder for theChild at theParent -- make a new child folder at the parent location if it doesn't already exist
