Find a name of a file

Hi
A webcam writes files with timestams in the filename. How can i find the name of the newest file to use it with <img source>. Thanks

@ bregent. I only know that it is possible to include javascripts into html. So i have only the "Hallo world" knowledge. It would be nice, if you could give more information. Thanks

How can I find the name of a file I downloaded four months ago?

I downloaded a file on either February 15th or 16th. Embarrassingly, I've lost the file, simply by forgetting its name. I need to be able to search my download history, by date. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I know that the history is kept that long, and that I haven't erased the history. Finding the date that I visited the website was easy using history and an approximate date, but download history is less intuitive.
And, no, revisiting the website doesn't help; the only way to find the name of the file there (it's an ebook) is to buy it again, which is NOT what I wish to do.
This was in Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, with FireFox v. 28.0 (yes, I know it's outdated; I haven't been using that computer much lately). I don't know what version of FireFox was installed at the time of the download -- whatever was most current at the time, as I usually make a practice of installing updates.

The downloads folder in the history manager? I'm not sure what you mean.
When I click on History, I see what I've put in the screenshot. Then it starts telling me where I've been today. Nothing about downloads, per se. I've been getting at those through Tools/Downloads.
I have FireFox set up to ask me where downloads should go, rather than automatically sending them to my Downloads folder in Windows, and even if it had automatically saved to Downloads, it wouldn't still be there now.
In a pinch, I suppose I could skip the first few in the downloads list, and then start right-clicking on individual downloads and selecting Go To Download Page, but I was hoping there might be some way to narrow it down, by getting at the date on downloads. That's fairly easy in History, but I don't see any way to do it in Tools/Downloads.

Change the Finder search default to Find by Name (search by file name) rather than Find by Content

I just discovered another way to set the finder Find option to default to "find by name" (search by file name). I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. I'm not sure if this works on other OS versions, but it probably does.
Here's a step by step:
#1: Open System Preferences
#2: Click on "Keyboard"
#3: Click on "Keyboard Shortcuts"
#4: Click on "Application Shortcuts" (on my system this was the last item located on the left-hand side window)
#5: Click the little "+" right below the right-hand side window
#6: Click on the "Application" menu and choose "finder.app"
#7: Click into the field "Menu Title:" and type "Find by Name..." (Type it exactly like that including the three dots. Don't type the quotes BTW.)
#8: Click into the field "Keyboard Shortcut:" and press the command-key and F at the same time. It should look like this ⌘F
#9: Close System Preferences
That's it. Basically what you are doing is remapping the command-F key (⌘F) to "Find By Name".
I tried to post this to other previous discussions asking this same question, but they were all locked.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Find object Names in a file and print all those objects Names

Hi All,
I am new to this forum.
I want to know how to read only objects names in txt file. In the text file i have sql queries, package names, Function Name. I need to read all the objects and display out put. The file contains around 20000 Lines.
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh.

want to read .rex File. The file contains combination of SQL code with table Names, Packages,Functions,There are three basic ways to read an external file.
You can use UTL_FILE and use standard/basic file I/O calls like fread() and fwrite() - common amongst most (if not all) programming languages.
You can define an external table for the file, and SQL*Load the contents of the file dynamically via a SQL SELECT statement.
You can load the file into a CLOB using DBMS_LOB and then process it - quite useful if the text file is XML as the XMLTYPE supports parsing a a CLOB containing XML.
I want to pick Each object name put in a separate file line by line.That in turn will need to use UTL_FILE to create an external file.
Keep in mind though that your in a database environment with PL/SQL. The very best place for data is inside the database in SQL tables. Not outside as external files. Thus you need to ask yourself whether dealing this way with external files is the best solution, and a robust and scalable one.
Granted, many times from the database side we need to deal with external files. The optimal method usually is to load that file's data into a database table as structured data - data that can be accessed via SQL and sorted, filtered, aggregated and analysed.
To provide a "file" as output - this should ideally be done directly from structured data (SQL tables). And can be done using HTTP (via a web enabled PL/SQL procedure that supplies the file content as a http Mime stream), using FTP (via <i>UTL_TCP</i>) or as a CLOB via a PL/SQL call interface. Using UTL_FILE is not necessarily the only option.

Name of the file in a directory

There is a file in a directory say C:\abcd
I want to find the name of the file in that directory.
There is only one file in that directory
How to proceed with this

Sarma,
That was a little abrupt and rude of you. Oracle_Friend was only asking if anyone knew of a way to detect the existence of a file in a directory, not exactly asking the world of us. And for all you know he probably has already searched in documentation, but probably isn't quite sure what to look for.
Remember : The manual has every damn thing that you want. We can only help you when you are stuck somewhere after having treid many options.a) sometimes people don't know what options to try so how can they have tried many options before posting on here.
b) The manual doesn't have every damn thing that you want. I want a lot of money and some lunch cos I'm getting hungry, but it doesn't have that. On a serious note though, the manuals do miss things and can't possibly cater for everybody's business requirements.
Chill out man, and help rather than hinder.

Make "Find by Name" a default?

Finding the name of a file in Tiger is quite annoying (unless I'm annoying myself by doing it the hard way)
The way that I've been looking for filenames is command-f, change pull-down menu to "Name".
The pull-down menu is set to "Kind" - is there a way to make it default to "Name"?
I don't think it's just a case of not wanting to learn a new technique - I've always loved the "Hit Command-f and type the filename and hit enter" method of finding something quick. Sure beats Windows!
(BTW - anyone know how to actually type the command-key? I couldn't find it in the Special Characters menu)

You have to change a file that Find consults to make it do what you (and pretty much everyone else) want as the default behavior. I changed mine so that the two default fields are Name and Raw Query, and the view is List view rather than Groups. I used the MacOSXHints article as the basis for my modifications:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050501162147222
If you want to use my default_smart.plist it is here:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/default_smart.plist.zip
You unzip it, then replace the original (you'll need to give authorization first, and make sure to keep a copy of the original or rename the original to defaultsmartold to keep it where it is).
"/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/default_smart.plist"
After you've done this you'll want to run repair permissions then restart.

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

Find out the name of parameter file while oracle is running

can any one please tell me how can i find the name of oracle parameter file while oracle is running, i mean is there any parameter that specifies this thing, or is there any data dictionary view
second thing i want to change the default database i mean istead of starting the default database at startup the oracle should start the database that i specify,
i would be greatfull if any one could answer my questions

Ok, so you're running with SPFILE in default location. The file you speak about is used during the database create phase.
Just having a look at the file:
c:\oracle\admin\orcl\pfile\init.ora.1142006183316I can say that:
. The SID is ORCL
. You used DBCA to create the database
. DBCA started creating the database: Saturday 11 of February 2006 at 18:33
This file is used by the DBCA because when you create a database, you must have a parameter file in order to start the instance. This file is easily created as a text file (PFILE) first, then the instance is started. Once the database creation is over, the SPFILE is created from this PFILE. If you check the database create logs (in the %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\ORCL\* directory) you'll see a "CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE" is ran after the database creation, or before, it depends, and the instance restarted in order for it to use the newly created SPFILE. After that, this file is useless.
HTH,
Yoann.

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

When I download something from the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but the window remains blank. Before it used to at least show the name of the file and I could open the file from the "Downloads" window. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Find & Replace text in html files

This is my first real attempt at using Automator, and it has become increasingly frustrating for me. I love the idea of Automator, nice interface, and it appears to be so easy to use. But, I can't get it to actually DO anything and I don't understand why.
Here is my goal:
to batch process multiple html files to remove certain characters and words (or replace them with empty space).
I currently open these files in Pages and do 6 separate Find & Replace commands for each file before I continue with my other processing tasks. This is very tedious and I believe the computer should be able to find & replace multiple items at one time. (I have used other utilities to do batch renaming and trimming file names before.)
All I want to do is select a group of files (usually 25 at a time) and have Automator get rid of all the unwanted words and characters before I open each file for final processing in Pages. I found a set of Automator actions for TextEdit which includes a Find & Replace action, but I've wasted over an hour so far trying to get it to work.
When I run the workflow, it acts like it's doing something, but the files remain unchanged. I have tried using actions such as Read Text File, Get Contents of TextEdit Document, Set Contents of TextEdit Document, along with 6 instances of Find & Replace, but I cannot get it to work.
I'm at a point today where I cannot afford to mess around with this anymore. I have to do it the long way in Pages or else I'll never get it done, but I want to get these Automator workflows to work before I have to repeat this task. (I do this at least once a week right now.)
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried reading in the help menus and support pages, but perhaps I'm just not understanding something here.

Any ideas or suggestions?
You might be interested in using TextWrangler. It can perform batch find-and-replace changes across multiple selected files.
Good luck!

Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

Hi everybody,
I am a professional translator.
One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
Thanks for your help.

I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.

How do I determine the name of a file from a watched folder

I would like to generate a log to track the names and outcomes of files processed from a watched folder. I don't see a way to access the name of the file from within the process. I have a variable "inPDF" which is data type "document" and "outResult" which is type "xml" but I don't see a way to access the file name (or path) of the "inPDF" "document" object. Is there a way to access the file name and path?

Thank you, this sounds promising.
Where can I find documentation describing the attributes that can be retrieved using the getDocumentAttribute function? Also, where can I find a complete reference on the Document object?
Best Regards,
Noam
