Extract slides(jpgs?) from a pptx file
Can I extract the individual slides from a pptx file such that I can use them as inserts in an iMovie? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks
Hal
I'm not sure how it's done in Powerpoint, but in Apple's Keynote app (similar to Powerpoint), you can export the slides as individual JPEG files (or PNG or TIFF). These can then be imported to iMovie.
I think that the pptx files can be opened in Keynote (if you have it). The procedure in Keynote is as follows:
From the menu select Share > Images
From the drop-down panel, choose the desired format (JPEG, PNG or TIFF)
Click Next
Enter a "Save As" name and location to save to
Click Export
I assume that Powerpoint has a similar function. Look for a menu item such as Export.
If all else fails, another option is to use screenshots. With the image showing at its largest size on screen, click on the key combination Command>Shift>4 then click and drag the crosshair diagonally across the image, starting in one corner of the image. As you release the mouse button, the screenshot will be saved to the Desktop and should have the same resolution as the original.

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?
I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE memory (+ 68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA memory (+ 59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1

Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
# CSV spec
# - record separator is CRLF
# - field separator is comma
# - every field is quoted
# - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012); # CRLF
local $, = qq(,); # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
my $f = shift @ff; # file path
if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
next;
$f =~ s%^.*/%%og; # file name
@dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
$dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;

Extract thumbnail images from a cache file without originals?
After an external drive crash, I'm left with only the Bridge (CS2) cache files for a folder full of images. Does anyone know a way to extract the thumbnails from the cache as jpgs or some other standalone format when you *don't* have the original image files? They would be low-res, but better than nothing. Thanks in advance.
>>says that this export technique does not work, it produces a low res screen version of the file.
Are you certain the original files were any better?
My preferred method of doing this works well, but it takes a few extra steps. I'd make a high-res PDF out of the PM file, then pick apart the PDF to extract the graphics. Are the graphics raster or vector? If they're raster, you can use Acrobat's Touch-up Object tool to open them in Photoshop. If they're vector, you can open the PDF in Illustrator and save out the graphics from there.

Extracting specific data from multiple text files to single CSV
Hello,
Unfortunately my background is not scripting so I am struggling to piece together a powershell script to achieve the below. Hoping an experienced powershell scripter can provide the answer. Thanks in advance.
I have a folder containing approx. 2000 label type files that I need to extract certain information from to index a product catalog. Steps to be performed within the script as I see are:
1. Search folder for *.job file types
2. Search the files for certain criteria and where matched return into single CSV file
3. End result should be a single CSV with column headings:
a) DESCRIPTION
b) MODEL

How to use automator to extract specific text from json txt file
I'm trying to set up an Automator folder action to extract certain data from json files. I'm pulling metadata from YouTube videos, and I want to extract the Title of the video, the URL for the video, and the date uploaded.
Sample json data excerpts:
"upload_date": "20130319"
"title": "[title of varying length]"
"webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video id]"
Based on this thread, seems I should be able to have Automator (or any means of using a shell script) find data and extract it into a .txt file, which I can then open as a space delimited file in Excel or Numbers. That answer assumes a static number of digits for the text to be extracted, though. Is there a way Automator can search through the json file and extract the text - however long - after "title" and "webpage_url"?
json files are all in the same folder, and all end in .info.json.
Any help greatly appreciated!Hello
You might try the following perl script, which will process every *.json file in current directory and yield out.csv.
* CSV currently uses space for field separator as you requested. Note that Numbers.app cannot import such CSV file correctly.
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - *.json > out.csv
use strict;
use JSON::Syck;
$JSON::Syck::ImplicitUnicode = 1;
# json node paths to extract
my @paths = ('/upload_date', '/title', '/webpage_url');
for (@ARGV) {
my $json;
open(IN, "<", $_) or die "$!";
local $/;
$json = <IN>;
close IN;
my $data = JSON::Syck::Load($json) or next;
my @values = map { &json_node_at_path($data, $_) } @paths;
# output CSV spec
# - field separator = SPACE
# - record separator = LF
# - every field is quoted
local $, = qq( );
local $\ = qq(\n);
print map { s/"/""/og; q(").$_.q("); } @values;
sub json_node_at_path ($$) {
# $ : (reference) json object
# $ : (string) node path
# E.g. Given node path = '/abc/0/def', it returns either
# $obj->{'abc'}->[0]->{'def'} if $obj->{'abc'} is ARRAY; or
# $obj->{'abc'}->{'0'}->{'def'} if $obj->{'abc'} is HASH.
my ($obj, $path) = @_;
my $r = $obj;
for ( map { /(^.+$)/ } split /\//, $path ) {
if ( /^[0-9]+$/ && ref($r) eq 'ARRAY' ) {
$r = $r->[$_];
else {
$r = $r->{$_};
return $r;
EOF
For Automator workflow, you may use Run Shell Script action as follows, which will receive json files and yield out_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.csv on desktop.
Run Shell Script action
- Shell = /bin/bash
- Pass input = as arguments
- Code = as follows
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - "$@" > ~/Desktop/out_"$(date '+%F_%H%M%S')".csv
use strict;
use JSON::Syck;
$JSON::Syck::ImplicitUnicode = 1;
# json node paths to extract
my @paths = ('/upload_date', '/title', '/webpage_url');
for (@ARGV) {
my $json;
open(IN, "<", $_) or die "$!";
local $/;
$json = <IN>;
close IN;
my $data = JSON::Syck::Load($json) or next;
my @values = map { &json_node_at_path($data, $_) } @paths;
# output CSV spec
# - field separator = SPACE
# - record separator = LF
# - every field is quoted
local $, = qq( );
local $\ = qq(\n);
print map { s/"/""/og; q(").$_.q("); } @values;
sub json_node_at_path ($$) {
# $ : (reference) json object
# $ : (string) node path
# E.g. Given node path = '/abc/0/def', it returns either
# $obj->{'abc'}->[0]->{'def'} if $obj->{'abc'} is ARRAY; or

my ($obj, $path) = @_;
my $r = $obj;
for ( map { /(^.+$)/ } split /\//, $path ) {
if ( /^[0-9]+$/ && ref($r) eq 'ARRAY' ) {
$r = $r->[$_];
else {
$r = $r->{$_};

Extract SQL history from 10046 trace files
Hi all,
I need to extract the complete sql history from sql trace files to "debug" a client application.
I know I can read the raw trc file and rebuild the sql history looking for the PARSING / EXEC / FETCH entries.
However, this is a very long and boring manual task: do you know if there is some free tool to automate this task?
thanks
Andreauser585511 wrote:
I agree that the 10046 trace captures everything. If I do read the raw trc file I see the DML.

I am not sure) so I am looking for an alternate tool to process 10046 trace files

How to extract Attribute Value from a DBC file with LabWindows and NI-XNET library
Hi all,
For my application, i would like to feed my LabWindows CVI Test program with data extracted from *.dbc file (created by another team under Vector CANdb++).
These files contains all CAN frame definition
and also some extra information added to :
Message level,
Signal level,
Network Level
These extra information are set by using specific ATTRIBUTE DEFINITIONS - FUNCTIONALITY under Vector CANdb++
The opening of the DataBase works under NI-XNET DataBase Editor as in LabWindows using: nxdbOpenDatabase ( ... )
No attribute seems be displayable under the NI-XNET DataBase Editor (it's not a problem for me)
Now, how, using the NI-XNET API and CVI, be able to extract these specially created attributes ?
Thanks in advance.
PS : In attached picture, a new attribute called Test_NI, connected to a message
Attachments:
EX1.jpg 36 KBHi Damien,
To answer your question on whether the XNET API on LabWindows/CVI allows you to gain access to the custom attributes in a DBC file, this is not a supported feature. The DBC format is proprietary from Vector. Also, custom attributes are different for all customers and manufacturers. Those two put together make it really difficult for NI to access them with an API that will be standard and reliable.
We do support common customer attributes for cyclic frames. This is from page 4-278 in the XNET Hardware and Software Manual :
"If you are using a CANdb (.dbc) database, this property is an optional attribute in the file. If NI-XNET finds an attribute named GenMsgSendType, that attribute is the default value of this property. If the GenMsgSendType attribute begins with cyclic, this property's default value is Cyclic Data; otherwise, it is Event Data. If the CANdb file does not use the GenMsgSendType attribute, this property uses a default value of Event Data, which you can change in your application. "
Link to the manual : http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/32FCF9A42CFD324E8625760E00625940
Could you explain us the goal of this attribute, and what you need it on your application.
Thanks,

Extract BPEL process from the JAR file deployed to BPEL Server
Hello All-
We have a BPEL process deployed in our production environment but unfortunately we do not have a back-up copy in our test environment.
I got the BPEL deployment JAR file from the production server but I am unable to extract the BPEL Process as well as the XSL file.
I used WINRAR to extract but it was showing that the JAR file is not a valid archive. We need the prod deployed version of the XSL as well as the BPEL process for a change and we are unable to proceed.
If anybody has faced similar kind of issue, please let me know how can it be resolved. Also please let me know if there are any tools which can extract the files.
PLease note that we are on BPEL 10.1.2.0.2
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.
Thanks,
DibyaHi Dibya
jar -xvf <filename> will work as others said.
However, please make sure you have another TEST/DEV Environment running in par with PROD.
Always, suggested to test first on the TEST/DEV Env for applying any new patches/config changes...then appropriately migrate to actual PROD Environments.
Also, always take a complete backup before you do some R&D on the SOA server.

Extracting a subtitle from a VOB file
OK, as much time as I have spent looking for the way to do this, I could have just watched the darn DVD while editing, BUT...
I'm remastering an old public domain movie in FCP. The titles... (this is a silent film, so the "titles" in this usage are the printed words on the screen that the actors are 'saying'. I'll use the word "intertitles" from now on.) are in French and I am producing this for English speakers.
I have a DVD of the same movie with English subtitles (from the actual DVD subtitle track) and I am using FCP to replace the French intertitle cards with English intertitle cards. (Is this clear as mud?)
Instead of having to watch the DVD in real time to get to the next intertitle card, it would be nice to extract the English subtitle track from the DVD and simply have it as either a text or image file that I could have up on my computer monitor, and just page or scroll to the next title.
I've looked at every freeware that claims to do this but nothing seems to work. (DSubtitler seems like it wants to, but the output file looks like this:
1
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:00,250
2
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:12,710

3
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:18,989

4
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:22,969

5
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:39,570

ffmpegX wants me to re-encode the entire film in order to give me a subtitle, and even then, I'm not sure it would be what I'm looking for.
Even a quicktime file with a screen burn of the subtitle would suffice.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!
Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)yes, clear as mud...
honestly, unless you're doing this sort of job routinely, the fastest bet would be to open the english subtitled movie in dvd player, set your fast-foward speed to 16x, and just scrub thru the whole movie and jot the titles down in textedit when they pop up.
it just seems like you're trying to do more work than you have to.
i realize that's not exactly what you're looking for, but i hope it helped.

How Do I Extract All Pages From A Pdf File and Turn Them All Into Separate Files
Hi i have downloaded 100 reports into a single pdf, that must be extracted into 100 seperate pdfs. A prety straightforward question, that i was not able to find a straighforward answer to.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Matti have Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 10, would that work?
Mind you, I want to take the 100 pages and turn them into 100 pdf files, avoiding of course going through the process of doing it one page at a time, one page at a time, one hundred times lol

My Mic isn't working, even though I didn't do anything to it
My iPod microphone stopped working. The only way you can get sound into the Mic is of you speak directly to it, like mouth on the Mic and you still have to be loud. I've never dropped it in water and it's never been wet. I guard it with my life. I've
