Duplicating files a number of times
I want to duplicate a file a certain number of times (a number that I determine each time the script is run) and then move those files to a different folder. Is this possible thru Automator?
Thanks
Use the following AppleScript action:
display dialog "How many times do you want the files to be duplicated?" default answer ""
set the_times to text returned of the result as number
set thenewfiles to {}
tell application "Finder"
repeat the_times times
set thenewfiles to thenewfiles & ((duplicate input) as alias)
end repeat
repeat with this_file in thenewfiles
move this_file to folder "destination folder"
end repeat
end tell
Place the folder's actual name between the last pair of quote marks, and set it up so that it receives the files from a previous action in the workflow.

I am constantly getting a message which says "iTunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled a number of times and re-booted but it only seems to last a short time. How do I fix it?
HI daddio,
Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health. -
how do i go about deleting a large number of files at the same time? where's the easiest place to do it?
A bit vague as to what you intend, but the simple answer is to select all the files you want to delete then either drag to the Trash or CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection and choose Move to Trash from the contextual menu.

I have an amazing number of duplicates - not photo - but other. How can I get rid of them? Virtually all kinds if data is duplicated often 20- to 50 times. The duplicates are bot restricted to any one kind of data.

Generate numbers in incremental order, the number of times condition met?
I have tried explaining my problem here also.
http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=31&t=007531&p=1
But trying to put in other words now.
I have a NO tag which appears many times in xml. and alwyas have some random numbers displaying.
output looks something similar to this
something......<NO>1</NO>
something......<NO>1</NO>
something......<NO>2</NO>
something......<NO>1</NO>
something......<NO>3</NO>
something......<NO>1</NO>
something......<NO>5</NO>
something......<NO>1</NO>
something......<NO>1</NO>
something...... & so on.
Now instead of these numbers coming in this order i prefer to display in final output file as
1 2 3 4 5 .................... n
Is it possible in any ways using xslt.
DO we need to ignore the values given in input file and then generate output values for same.
it can be like the number of times NO tag appears in xml, it should start from 1 and keep increasing value by 1, until NO tag finishes appearance.
But next time when other xml transforms it again should be able to start from 1 till n.
is there a possibility of using java code for this situation or xslt is capaable enough to handle this.
Thanks
VJI'm guessing you are looking for something like this. I used a pull approach but it could be done with a push (xsl:for-each).
Sample XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<NO>1</NO>
<NO>1</NO>
<NO>2</NO>
<NO>1</NO>
<NO>3</NO>
<NO>1</NO>
<NO>5</NO>
<NO>1</NO>
<NO>1</NO>
</root>
Sample XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="root">
<output>
<xsl:apply-templates select="NO"/>
</output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="NO">
<row>
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
</row>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Sample Output
<output>
<row>1</row>
<row>2</row>

File Sharing drops regularly, Time Machine Backups are delayed on OSX 10.7.3. Solution?
Hi there folks,
I'm having an issue with the new 10.7 server. We're running 10.7.3 Server on an Late 2006 XServe with 10GB RAM , connected to a Drobo Pro for Time Machine Backups of our 50+ users via our internal network.
Recently, Time Machine backups have been getting delayed, stating that they can't connect up to the backup drive (which is out Drobo Pro handling 16TB of space). The Drobo Pro hass not unmounted, and all the IP Addresses coming from and going to the Server handling the backups will still ping.
We've also be having trouble with Server resident drives and shared folders that people can mount using the ⌘+K shortcut or "Connect to Server" option in finder. People will choose the IP address, and finder will think for a few minutes then give an error stating that it cannot connect the the specified IP. The only way I can reestablish connection to the file sharing through a remote computer is to remote or physically login to the server, then go into System Preferences and turn "File Sharing" off, then on again. After that, the ⌘+K on a remote machine can find the drives again.
It's driving me crazy why this is ocurring. I don't know why, and people in the office are beginning to complain that they can't access certain files on the servers or are worried because their backups are not completeing.
It should also be known that a majority of the machines we have in the ofice are still running 10.6.8, with only a handful on 10.7, as we haven't had the time to make the major switchover yet.
I'm not the best when it comes to server software or Unix CLI managment (the office outsourced our Network Admin to the east coast), so I'm a bit stumped.
Does anyone have any suggestions to try? Is there a link between the number of Time Machine Users and the connection failures? Should I just tel the NetAdmin to create a script that will restart the File Sharing protocol on the server every couple of hours?
Hopefully someone will be able to help.
Thanks,
JYHASHI started having connectivity issues to my 10.6.8 server from my 10.7 client immediately after updating the client to 10.7.3. FWIW. Takes forever to connect, when it does. After just milliconds before.

Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
MadhusudhananMadhusudhanan,
A couple of observations. First; always list your exact Forms version (eg; 10.1.2.0.2 not 10g R2). In most cases, the solution is different depending on the Forms version. Second; why must you use Forms to kick off a SQL Loader process? This is a server-side process and should be initiated by a server side process. If you absolutely must use Forms to kick off the process, again we need your Forms version in order to offer any solutions. Based on your code sample, I can asusme you are at least using Forms 9i becuase you are using WebUtil.
Is your Database and Application Server the same physical computer? If they are not, this would explain why your HOST command isn't working because HOST runs against the Application Server not the Database server.
Third; have you considered using and External Table (if your RDBMS version supports them) for each of the files you are attempting to upload? In this instance, it would be helpful to know your RDBMS version as well. External Tables can be a little frustrating to set up the first time, but as with any new construct you use - it gets easier the more you use it.
Fourth; are you getting any errors in your log file(s)? If so, what are the errors? Please list the full error message if you have one.
Finally, with respects to your statement:

Is there a way to count the number of times an array moves from positive to negative?
I have an array of values, and I need to find the number of times that the array changes signs (from positive to negative, or vice versa). In other words from a graphical standpoint, how many times a certain line crosses the x-axis. Counting the number of times the array equals zero does not help however, because the array does not always equal exactly zero when it crosses the axis (ie, the points could move from .1 to -.1).
Thanks for you help. Feel free to email me at [email protected] I only have lv 5.1.1 so if you attach any files, they cannot be version 6.0.Attached is a VI showing the # of Pos and Neg numbers in an array, with 0 considered as non-Pos. It is easily modifiable to other parameters - including using the X-axis value as your compare point versus only Zero.
This is a modified VI from LV (Separate Array.vi)
Compare this with your other responses to find the best fit.

Reading from a file. How to ask the user for file name at run time????
I have the code to read from a file but my problem is how to prompt the user for the file name at run time.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FileRead {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner scan = null;
File file = new File("Results.txt");
String number;
try {
scan = new Scanner(file);
while (scan.hasNext()){
number = scan.next();
System.out.println(number);}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex1){
System.out.println("No such file");
catch (IllegalStateException ex2){
System.out.println("Did you close the read by mistake");
catch (InputMismatchException ex){
System.out.println("File structure incorrect");
finally{
scan.close();}
}Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanceI have read through some of the tutorials that you have directed me too and they are very useful, thank you. however there are still a few things that i am not clear about. I am using net beans 5.0 I have placed a text file named Results.txt into the project at the root so the program can view it.
When I use the code that you provided me with, does it matter where the file is, or will it look through everywhere on the hard drive to find a match?
This code compiles but at run time it comes up with this error
run-single:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NamedFile
Exception in thread "main"
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class NamedFileInput
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
int num, square;
// this Scanner is used to read what the user enters
Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );
String fileName;
System.out.print("File Name: ");
fileName = user.nextLine().trim();
File file = new File( fileName ); // create a File object
// this Scanner is used to read from the file
Scanner scan = new Scanner( file );
while( scan.hasNextInt() ) // is there more data to process?
num = scan.nextInt();
square = num * num ;
System.out.println("The square of " + num + " is " + square);
}his is the code that i used. It is the same as the code you posted for me (on chapter 23 I/O using Scanner and PrintStream) Sorry im just really stuck on this!! -
I have installed iCloud a number of times on my HP laptop running Windows 7.
I have installed iCloud a number of times on a high powered Windows 7 notebook computer.
It goes through the complete instalation WITHOUT EVER asking me to make an account for icloud with an ID and password for iCloud.
When I try to start icloud for the first time it asks me for my APPLE ID and password. I enter that, and it tells me that is a valid ID and password but it is not for iCloud and therefor refuses to open icloud on the computer for me!.
THERE ARE NO OPTIONS available on that iCloud startup except for the request to enter the Apple ID and password which is then
refused.
I have tried changing and updating the password ...it still refuses to open.It just keeps on telling that is a valid ID and password for Apple but not for the iCloud...I just do not understand what is going on!

Hi all,
I am writing a VI for measuring data and inserting it into a database. The measurements are controlled by a loop that runs once every minute. I want to give each measurement a unique id number and store this too in the database.
To do this, I want to add a counter to this loop so that I can count the number of times the loop has executed in total. This is, even if the VI, LabVIEW or even th PC is restarted, I want the counter to keep track of the number of executions. If say, the loope executes two times and then the VI is stopped and restarted, I want the following number on the counter to be three.
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? I am gratefule for any help!

Solved!
Go to Solution.Not allowed to give away code but I can describe one of my "Totalizers" used to keep track of how much stuff has passed through a fliter so we know when to change it.
THe Total izer is implemented as an Action Engine.
It has three actions (methods)
1) Init - Opens an ini file and reads the last values read and cahces these in shift registers. It also inits a timer so we now how long since the last file I/O.
2) Update - Uses the data passed by the caller to update the totals. It also checks how long since the last save and if more than one minute it writes to the ini file (forced write).
3) Read - returns the totals for display and evealuating if a an alarm should be triggered to change the filter.
Note:
THe pre-LV 8.6 version of the ini file exposed methods to allow writing to the file. The new ini functions do not expose that functionality and require closing the file.

Have to enter serial number very time I launch acrobat distiller
Hi all,
after using the program for a couple of years successfully, for some reason I now have to enter serial my number very time I launch acrobat distiller?, after entering the number it works fine,
do I have a corrupted file somewhere, anyone come across this before?

What is the easiest way to find duplicated files throughout the hard drive? I have just managed to eliminate 6 GB of files that had arisen because previously I had files and clones on 3 separate Hard Drives and had lost track at times. I am now consolidating to one HD and cleaning out the excess fat by laboriously going through several folders by hand. It takes a lot of time.
Is there a way of getting Spotlight to identify unnecessary duplicates systemwide? Or is there another method?I have seen reports of success using dupeGuru:

Is there any way to limit the number of times that a PDF can be opened?
I run a small publishing company and we want to provide exam copies of our books to professors. At present our exam copies have the words EXAM COPY as a water mark on every page and we've also made the files so that they can't be printed or easily copied. However, we'd like to also restrict these PDFs so that they can only be opened 5 times. I've read about FileOpen but that approach seems a bit more complex than needed. Is there any other way to restrict the number of times that a PDF file can be opened once it is downloaded? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
DRM soltions like FileOpen are your best bet for PDFs. Others include Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Managment, LockLizard, Armjisoft PDF Security OwnerGuard, etc.
They all work and are priced differently, but there's really nothing for what you want to do that is both simpler and secure.
