Exporting past search entries

Let's say you frequently visit a webpage, such as an online dictionary. You type the unknown word in a textbox, get the translation, and forget it immediately :-)
After a few days you decide to create a list from the unknown words you've searched recently. You go to that webpage, and click the 'suggestions' (previous search queries) one by one in the dropdown list.
Now, is there a way to do this less painful? Like a tool, addon, whatever to export past search entries from a particular text field. It would really be helpful.

Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

Export thousands of entries to separate files

I don't know scripting. But I would sure like to find a script to do this little thing for me!
Some background is necessary:
Years ago, I was a dedicated HyperCard user. (If you know what I mean then you know my pain). I had a rolodex phone book with thousands of entries. As OSX came along, I ran HyperCard in classic. Now that I'm on an Intel Mac, classic is no longer supported. My clever solution was to export my stack entries to text and bring them into InDesign.
I'm limping along pretty well. Search in InD is very fast. And I've formatted the text using InD search and replace functions, I've made clear separations between entries. Each entry is one Paragraph, and between each entry is a spacer paragraph which carries a particular paragraph style called "Card Spacer". See the screenshot below.
My goal now is to move the data to a more useful platform - Notebook, Yojimbo come to mind. I'm thinking that what I need to do is EXPORT each entry as a separate text file to my hard drive. Then I can import the entries into the new database and each entry will be separate.
I'm hoping that a kind member with the scripting skills to do this will help me out.
With appreciation,

Hey Peter!
Thanks so much! The script worked, it created over 4,000 text files in the folder where the file sat. It took about 5 seconds! I think this will solve my problem.
Before I close this thread (with a "Yes, answered" click), there's one minor hiccup I'd like to show you. The script is creating files both for my entry paragraphs and also for the spacer paragraphs. So I get one spacer text file for each "record" file.
I thought it would be easy to simply delete all the odd or all the even numbered files, but for some reason, the odd/eveness of the record files is not the same throughout the 4000 files. Probably there is an errant extra Hard Return character occasionally, causing the alternation of odd/even to switch.
Can the script be modified to skip the card spacers? Can you test for the paragraph style and skip paragraphs that are styled with "Card Spacer"? Of course, I can insert any other character into the spacer paragraphs if you'd rather filter for something else.
I don't know if, or how, I would get rid of the extra records if I import them into the new program.
Peter, this is not the first time I've used one of your scripts. Looking in my scripts folder, I saw another with your name: KahrelBatchExport.js. Thanks again for your help.

Script request for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP

Do anyone has the scripts for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP server? Thanks for help.

you can use ldapsearch utility to generate ldif files. Perform a search on the node you want to export and specify the output to be in LDIF format ( -L - this is a ldapsearch option). Once you have the ldif file, you can import it to any LDAPv3 complaint server such as OID. for OID, use ldapadd/ldapmodify utility to import the data.
These utilities are present under IAS_HOME/bin or ORACLE_HOME/bin.

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

Search Suggestions and Past Searches are not prolific as it is used to be.

In the latest version of Firefox, the search suggestions and the search history are only a few items. There used to be a scroll bar and also a separator to distinguish between our past searches and google search suggestions. There seems to be a change in the search box. Is this permanent - and any nice search box or a toolbar to replace it?

Hi - Yes, that returned the old search bar, thank you. But when I enter a keyword again, the past search tips and keyword suggestions are not as much as it used to be - there is no scroll bar and a few keywords (around 10). Is there any reason for this? I guess this is irreversible as that changed in the new version of the Firefox?

Export PCUI search result to Excel over Context Menu / right mousebutton

Hello
I am using CRM 5.0 and PCUI
I want to export the search result into Excel, on Servicetickets (BUS2000116). When i press the right mousebutton on the searchresult, I get the option Export to Microsoft Excel.
When i choose this option, Excel opens and i get the error message "Unable to open ......./mainDH.do. The Internet site reports that a connection was established but the data is not available."
and the cell A1 says ExternalData_1.
In Thread Export PCUI search result to Excel, Manuel Rodriguez told "Standard Export to excel is avaible in PCUI 5.0 and dont works in PCUI 4.0.". But I still can't make it work.
Anybody an Idea how I can do it work ???
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
you should not use the right click and Export to Excel. I think this is a functionality of Internet Explorer for HTML Tabes. Using that functionality you will only get the actual table exported. Do you see the Button "Download" in the Toolbar? That's the export to Excel functionality introduced in CRM 5.0.

IPhon 4: After recently updating to version 7.1.2, all my past calendar entries disappeared and I cannot add new entries.

After recently updating to 7.1.2, all of my past calendar entries for 22014 disappeared and I cannot add new entries??

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

Export multiple response entries to combine PDF.

Is it possible to export multiple response entries into a singe multi-page (combined PDF? This can be done externally using Adobe Acrobat Pro, but it would be extremely useful for distributing responses to clients especially since some cannot access the responses through mobile devices such as IPAD.

Sorry, we currently don't support this. You have to export them one at a time.

I do not want a search entry remain/re-appear. How do I delete or set-up this to not to show

When I enter an item on Google search, I do not want it remembered. I do not want previous search entries to re-appear when I start entering a new search item in the google search box. How can I set-up up this not to happen or how do I delete a previous entry if I really do not want it to automatically pop-up as I enter a new search?

In addition to the reply by TonyE, if you want the search bar to auto clear as soon as you hit Enter, try the

Does TREX keep a log of all search entries?

I would like to see what my users have tried to search for. Does TREX keep a log of all search entries?

Hi Eric
Take a look at note 937055, I believe the described approach meets your requirements.
Also search the forum for "search statistics" eg. before posting. A search can often give you the solution right away. In this case a search for "search statistics" yielded this result: Need to report Search Statistics from TREX which might also be interesting for your future needs.
Kind regards,
Martin

Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

Can I use applescript to export PDF search results from "preview"?

My question is about "Preview". I have a very large PDF document that I am using preview to view. After doing a search for a specific word, preview has returned 1200 results. The results panel shows the page number the result is found on and the line of text on which the searched-for-word is found.
My question is this: Is there a way to export this information from preview to something like an excel file? The end result would look like a table with two columns. One with the page numbers and one with the line of text in which the word appears.
Is this something that can be done with applescript? I don't know if the system even stores that kind of information... /sigh. Any help is appreciated.

Using Preview.app, I have done a search for the word “AppleScript” in the PDF version of the AppleScript Language Guide. Then, I have used the following script to retrieve the information displayed in the results panel.
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
return value of text field 1 of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1

Backspace Key Clears Google Search Entry

I've noticed something very strange happening with my phone. For some reason when I come back to my Google Search field in Safari to edit a search and press the backspace key, it clears the entire entry. Sometimes I may just want to revise just one word and not the whole search, but pressing backspace just clears the whole field. Does anyone know whether this is a feature or just a bug in the OS?

I've seen this too. Maddening. Not consistent, but it happens often enough.
I usually press on the data entry field till the magnifying glass shows up and position the cursor that way, which seems to lessen the likelihood that the backspace (X) key will clobber everything.
