Finder abbreviating file names with tilde ~

At work, one of our macs is abbreviating several file names on our server and using a tilde "~" at the end of the names. It seems to happen randomly, with short or long names, and only on this machine. All the macs have upgraded to SL and his is the only one with these issues. I have tried restarting, taking the com.apple.finder.plst and putting it on the desktop so a restart will replace the file, and repairing permissions. What do I do?

Still hapining. I Deleted all teh preferences and let it make new ones. It was fine, until about 10 min ago. Now its not only re-naming files (when you copy from the server a file it is displaying as shortened, it will be renamed on the mac) but now it wont let anyone copy to the server on this machine. I can make a new profile and it works fine for a day or two and the same thing happens there too.

Finding the file name with Regular Expression

Hello All,
I am having some requirment to find the file name for the input provided parameter.
In my program i am having an input parameter for file name. This contains both the file name and file stored location.
Example : C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xs234fs\Desktop\TEST_123_44.txt
From the above example string i need to find only the file name that is TEST_123_44.txt by using Regular expression.
Please let me know how to get this.
Thank you ver much in advance.
Thanks,
Feroz.

Hello,
If you have attached an F4 help to the filename input param, in that you can use the FM: GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
In this there is a return param FILENAME which contains the name of the file.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG'
       EXPORTING
         window_title            = TEXT-001
         default_extension       = p_extens
         default_file_name       = ls_deffile
         initial_directory       = ls_initdet
       IMPORTING
         filename                = ls_filename "This contains the filemame
         path                    = ls_path
         fullpath                = ls_fullpath
         user_action             = ls_usaction.
Else if you have hardcoded the filename in the input field you can use rthe FM: PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME to split the filenames into different components

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:

File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +

try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?
Thanks!

File name with symbols won't delete from trash.cache\trash\cache folder.

found this weird file name with symbols (squares nad the like) in the trash.cache\trash\cache folder. Can't seem to delete it from windows, can't get at from the dos prompt. Windows safe mode won't delete it.
Any suggestions as to what it is and how to get rid of it.
At present am trying reinstall of firefox and virus scan.
Thanks
Peter

I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when
I put in the disc that came with my mac and hold down
C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
fresh install.
At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
and for somereason the option to repair isnt
highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
can be repaired, but it wont let me.
You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

Shared photo-stream, makes long file names with 42 random characters

Windows icloud 3.1, in a shared photo-stream, makes file names with 42 random characters long. It didn't do this in iCloud 2. I have installed iCloud 3.1 on a windows 8.0 and 8.1 machine and two Windows 7 machines. They all do the same thing. It used to give me file names like "IMG_0001.jpg" now it gives me random file names like "01a9fc3363330464233a142486180f0c1622eb9fca.jpg" all the pictures are out order.
Does anyone have fix for this? Does any one else have this problem? I have posted this before and know one else that uses windows seams to have this problem exect me. I did call Apple and they did some research and bumped me up to senior techs and eventuality Apple told me this is working the way it was designed to. This is extremely stupid, I need the sequential file names so the pictures will sort correctly.

I have never found a solution for this.
I did find a Work Around. What I do when I receive a folder full of pictures from another ios iPhone user, I copy all the photos as a batch from the PhotoStream folder into a free Windows program called "FastStone Photo Resizer" from www.FastStone.org. This program allows you to resize the photos as a batch to what ever size you wish. In my case I resize them to 2560 x 1440 which fills my 27" monitor and reduces the file size of each picture from 2MB or 3MB down to about 450 KB without degrading the picture as far as what you see on the screen.
This program will also within the same batch operation, allow you to sort the pictures by "Date Taken" which is the Date and Time the picture was taken. It gets this information from the EXIF data in the jpg file. This program will then rename the files with different numbering format options including date, time, alphanumberic and with just simple numbers starting at what ever number you wish to start with. I can get files that look like this again "IMG_0001.jpg" and have all the pictures in the correct order that they were taken. At this point, I save the pictures directly to a folder on my PC. The cool thing about this is, all the EXIF data is preserved as well. I can process a 100 pictures in less that 60 seconds. I hope this helps. For me, I can now live with this iCloud numbering defect.

File name with Dateand time stamp.

Hi All,
I want to generate a file with a date and time stamp.
For that in File Receiver adaptor i am using option "Add Time Stamp" in File Construction mode. however it is generationg file name as: FileName_20082104_121211_645.txt . In this I don't know what these last three characters "_645" are? And In the File name i only want a file name with datetime stamp . I don't require underscore in between. for eg: FileName_20082104121211.txt (FileName_dateTime.txt)
Can anybody suggest me the way to achive this?
Thanks,
Atul

@FileName_20082104_121211_645
The date time stamp in XI's file adapter will be in that format. This is to avoid over writing of files created simultaneously at the same time. So the last 3 digits is a form of an unique id to distinguish between the same.
In case you want the format as FileName_20082104_121211, use the dynamic configuration and create the file name inside the mapping itself and pass it across.
To get an idea about the same, ref:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 - an usage of the same.

MimeBodyPart.getFileName() returns file name with directory path.

Hi
The documentation says getFileName() returns filename ,not including directory components. But it is returning
path like Eserv generic/mails/a.html. Can it return a full path in some mail servers?
Please respond.
Thanks

The documentation says getFileName() returns filename ,not including directory components.I think you must be misinterpreting the documentation. Where did you read that?
The getFileName method returns whatever the sender sent as a file name. The send should
send only a simple file name, with no directory components, but they can send anything, and
you should protect against abuse before using such a file name.

Using the regex to match the file name with date time

Hello all,
currently I had problem to match the following file name with the date time. Of course I can use this regex like ""(\\\\w+|.+).(zip)" to match it. However in the current application i need to parse the file name and get the current date time to check if it is matched. Does anyone have good idea?
{code}
testfile10-08-09-2008-08-21-04-24-0443.zip
testfile11-08-09-2008-08-22-04-24-0441.zip
{code}
thanks in advanced!

- with "\\\\w" you probably meant "\\w";
- "\\w+|.+" doesn't make sense: you can simply do ".+" in that case;
- ".(zip)" will also match the string "%zip" or "Ezip".
However in the current application i need to parse the file name and get the current date time to check if it is matched. I don't know what you mean by that.

Encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43

Hi!
I've tried everything but still, after about 20 hours of encoding DVD Studio Pro just stoppes, saying "encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43". The movie is in DV PAL format and made in Final Cut Pro version 5. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4.0. The movie is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long and I'm trying to put it on a double layer DVD. I've tried to shorten it (it was nearly 2 hours before), but that didn't help. I also tried to shorten it even more and put it on a single layer DVD, but still the same message.
So if somebody has any idea of how I can solve this problem, please let me know as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Error -43 means "File not found." If you are compressing from a reference movie, make sure that all referenced movie clips are present on the disk and that permission settings are not preventing DVD Studio Pro from accessing them.
Error -1309 means "Out of bounds." This means that the source file is pretending to be bigger than it actually is.
So it sounds like there are issues with your source movie.
P.S. Compressor has a much better MPEG-2 encoder and I would recommend using that instead.

When I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

when I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.

Problems with replace file name with starting and ending Bates number

When applying Bates numbers to a set of Acrobat pdf files I am unable to replace file names with the starting and ending Bates number. This is important
for me in a legal application.
The Bates numbers are applied to each page of each of file without any problem as required.
The Bates log file indicates that the files have been renamed as I wanted.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 with the update to 9.1.9 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last or current service pack)
In all other respects Adobe Acrobat 9 is running to my satisfaction.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
HRKExon

Thanks for asking the question, I hadn't heard of Bates numbers before and this gave me a chance to look up something new.
When I googled for ' bates number legal index ' I found this document:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/batesnumbering9.pdf
Maybe that will help.
