Finding file with tomorrow's date in file name

I have a workflow where pdf files are going through a process and they could end up in an error folder.  The files all have the day's date embedded in their names.  I would like to set up a cron job looking for files that have dropped in an error folder with tomorrow's date on them.  Looking for today's date is trivial:
find . -name *_`date +%m%d`_*.pdf | grep "Error"
And I have a cron job that runs after midnight looking for files and it will send me an email.  But most of the time the files have been in the Error directory for hours/days before -- how do I look for tomorrow-dated files the night before so that I can deal with them before I go to bed?
-- edited to add:  I am running SL 10.6.8  I don't seem to have gnuDate which would let me do the --date="1 day" thingy -- or maybe it is there and I don't understand how to embed it in the find command...

Well, once again, a whole morning of diligent searching doesn't get the answer, but the minute I hit post on the question, I find it.
find . -name *_`date -v+1d +%m%d`_*.pdf | grep "Error"
Well, hope this helps somebody else!

  • Yosemite finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files

    Hello,
    under Yosemite  the Finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files.
    Is this just my problem? Help please.
    Thank you very much.
    Regards.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    That's interesting. The file date should match the system date. What's the system date? What version of InDesign? What operating system?

  • Read Document in FileUtilities  cannot search a file with french character in the file name

    Hi,
    I am trying to search a file with french character in the file name like 'captures écran.doc' in my unix server directory, and Write the file somewhere, say in a list of documents or, write on file system to another directory.
    I am using to Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation, but it cannot read the file due to french character in its name. Although it can find any other file name without these french characters.
    Tried renaming but that also cannot find the file with french character name.
    Please provide any idea to solve it using LC operation.
    Regards,
    Rohan Raj.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the post, but I have already found a solution to it a month ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.
    You just have to set the '-Djava.property.file.encoding=ISO8859-1' into JVM argument of your server startup, and bounce the server back to pick the new JVM arg set. And now the service Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation will read all french characters.
    ISO8859-1refers to "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout The Americas,Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages.
    regards,
    Rohan Raj.

  • Serving up files with Russian chars in the file name

    Anyone know how to get CF 8 to serve up CFM files with
    Russian characters in the file name? I can get IIS to server up
    .html files but .cfm files turn in to ?????????.cfm files.
    For example, this:
    новостииобновления.cfm
    becomes this ??????????????.cfm and throws a CF error (File Not
    Found) when clicking on the link. The strange thing is I can see
    the Russian characters in the status bar when I mouse over the link
    but CF can't handle it. And IIS will serve up the file and replace
    all the chars with their URL entity equivalent.
    Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else

  • How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

    How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

    Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
    For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

  • Is it possible to add pic/diagram to SP file with link to another SP file?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add a diagram, picture, or table to a SP file with link to another SP file?
    I know this is possible in, say, Word. For example, I can add a diagram and check a box to include a link to the source file - so that when the diagram in the source file updates, the diagram in my document also updates.
    This is also my goal in SP - instead of simply including a link to a document elsewhere in SP (or on the same site in SP), I would ideally like to display a diagram, picture, or table and include (behind the scenes if possible) to the source SP file
    so that, when the diagram/table in the source SP file updates, my SP file also updates accordingly.
    For example:
    Instead of:
           The diagram is located in:
           link
    I would ideally like:
           Diagram, picture, or table (with link associated with it) - users can click on the diagram or picture if they desire.
           The diagram or picture is updated whenever the source SP file containing the diagram or picture is updated (the source SP
           file will only contain a diagram, picture, or table)
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you very much.

  • Need example with write to DATA log file programmatically?

    Hi all,
    I would like to request for an example of writing a datalog (*.DAT) file which could do this.
    Datalog file.
    NAME: AGE: SEX: (header)
    john 16 M (data)
    marie 55 F
    Dolah 34 M
    The program can also let me to add in new data and then store in the same file.dat. The data (hopefully) can be written to the bottom of the last saved entry of data. (eg. after the row Dolah).
    I need to do this so that I can open and read back the datalog file and use the data for other purpose.
    Please help,

    You've got some examples in Fundamentals>File Input and Output but one of the easiest things to do is to modify Write Strings to Spreadsheet File.vi to write strings as detailed at the bottom of the diagram and then save it to a different place and with a different name.

  • Load one text file with 12 periods' data into 12 different periods at once?

    Hi guys,
    In one swoop, can we load one .txt file with 12 periods of data into 12 different periods?
    The scenario:
    Budget data is required for monthly comparative reporting with actuals, so we have 12 periods in our Budget version.
    From a non-SAP system we get one .txt file containing 12 periods worth of budget data,
    - it is in the correct format (and we don't want to create risk by opening and editing it) so it is loaded into each period and the other 11 periods of irrelevant data are obviously ignored.
    Some extra tasks (such as validation, cashflow calculations) are then performed per period.
    Because this has to be repeated 12 times, this can be a time consuming process
    We now have multiperiod monitor functionality (from EHP2) and I see how it works for the automatic tasks (very well).
    I'm aware that the guide says that manual tasks will be ignored during the automatic run, this is true.
    However, if I remember correctly EC-CS used to allow it with upoad files, so i was expecting it in BCS 6.02
    - is there anyway to load a file containing 12 periods worth of data into 12 individual periods in all at once?
    (NB we still have an improvement to the previous situation, the user can scroll between periods more quickly and load the file 12 times, then go back to the start and run all auto tasks at once)..
    One thought was to use a file server location with a hardcoded filename but his would require work beyond my expertise.
    All suggestions welcome

    Hi
    I wil suggest mapping the path based on a common location is the best way and then map the same logically in the Upload method
    If you are using Citrix then it becomes all the more easy to have a commmon location

  • Encoded picture file with included XMP data

    Hi folks,
    I'm all new to this forum because I can't find a solution to my problem for days now. I have these picture files which are used by a freeware design tool. I badly need to use one of the files in an other design project. But it seems like those files are somehow modified in there file header or encoded.
    Is anybody able to shed some light in the type of file used? I renamed already in .tif .zip .dng and so forth and opening it in an HEX-editor tells me that XMP technology has been used at least for tagging.
    I uploaded a file here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4N7OYDXR
    and the HEX-code is below.
    Thank you all very much!

    Hi Marc,
    the XMP states (obviously):
    dc:format = "image/jpeg"
    xap:CreatorTool = "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows!"
    According to the XMP it is a JPEG file. But your file is corrupted:
    Each JPEG file has to start with a "Start of Image" tag, which is 0xFF, 0xD8.

  • Lightroom export - original file with Lightroom modification data

    Hello, hello!
    I have imported a folder of, for arguments sake, some JPEGs, TIFFS, and DND photos into Lightroom, leaving the files in place, and just linking them to the Lightroom Catalogue's Library. I have then made a whole load of 'modifications' to the photos in Lightroom (the data for these modifications is stored in the Lightroom Catalogue file, right?).
    Can I now export some of the photos from Lightroom so that the file that comes out is in the same/different file format (e.g. JPEG/TIFF/DNG) and have the Lightroom modification data embedded (perhaps in the EXIF data) of the exported file? Can I then open this with a 'normal' program and have it show the original? Can I then open this with Lightroom/Photoshop (?) and it show the original with the modification data applied?
    Thanks a lot! :-))

    Can I now export some of the photos from Lightroom so that the file that comes out is in the same/different file format (e.g. JPEG/TIFF/DNG) and have the Lightroom modification data embedded (perhaps in the EXIF data) of the exported file?
    Yes, but you should not export. Just hit Ctrl/Cmd+S to Save Metadata. the metadata will be embedded into the files. Note that the actual image will not be altered. That is, if you view the jpeg in an external viewer you will not see the adjustments made in Lightroom. Only Adobe products can interpred those.
    Can I then open this with a 'normal' program and have it show the original?
    Yes.
    Can I then open this with Lightroom/Photoshop (?) and it show the original with the modification data applied?
    Yes. When you open in Photoshop and it's a non-RAW file (e.g. JPEG or TIFF), there's an option somewhere in Camera RAW to be used for opening non-RAWs. The point is, those have to pass through Camera RAW, rather than opened directly in Photoshop, for metadata to be interpreted properly.

  • Need Sample JPG Files with Valid XMP data

    Greetings,
    I Have downloaded and built the XADumper and would like to "dump" on a JPG file with some VALID XMP data.
    However, I have no application to sutff the data and no sample file that I know has something readable.
    Does anyone have some they could post?
    Even better, anybody have something working to stuff some valid data that can be used to create files -- or better use as a further code example?
    Thanks Much,

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?

  • Pickup the file based on the date in file name

    Dear all,
    I have requirement like this.
    EX:
    I have file name called ABC_20110721.txt , i have to pickup that file today and should not delete it and should not mark as 'Read only'. We have to keep that file as is in FTP.
    I will have another file tomorrow like ABC_20110722.txt , i have to pickup this file alone.
    So that means date in the file name is dynamic based on the system date( current date interface runs on )
    Please let me know how can we do this?
    Regards

    Hi ,
        You have not specified your operating system on which PI is running.  You need scripts to achieve this for you. In case you are using UNIX/Solaris/Linux server the following script "filename.sh" should run fine
    lines=`expr 0 + 0`
    maxlines=`expr 0 + 100`
    while [ 1 -le 5 ] ; do
         d=`date +%G%m%d`
         count=`ls -1 | grep $d |wc -l`
         c=`expr $count + 0`
         while [ $c -gt 0 ]; do
              file=`ls -1 | grep $d |tail -$c |head -1`
              searchFile=`grep $file temp | head -1 | wc -l`
              searchFile=`expr $searchFile + 0`
              if [  $searchFile -eq 0 ]; then
                   cp $file /home/anghosh0/sdn/f
                   echo $file >>temp
                   lines=`expr $lines + 1`
              fi
              c=`expr $c - 1`
         done     
         if [ $lines -gt $maxlines ]; then
                k=`date +%G%m`
              grep $k temp > t
              mv -f t temp
              lines=`expr 0 + 0`
         fi     
    done
    Say you are poutting the source files say ABC_20110721.txt,ABC_20110722.txt,ABC_20110725.txt  in a directory. Say the name of the directory is    "/usr/home/dx7" . You have to put this scipt "filename.sh" in  "usr/home/dx7".  Set the permission bits of this script to "777" or you can use command "chmod 777 filename.sh". This script will choose only the files for todays date as per server time. This script is running in an infinite loop. Thus whenever there is a new file in the directory it checks the file name, and if the name contains todays date, it puts the file in "home/anghosh0/sdn/f" directory from where PI server picks it up for reading. Please change the folder name according to your convinience. Now in the folder "/usr/home/dx7" you need to keep a file called "temp" this file will conatin only one word or any symbol say "hi". The use of temp is to collect all file names that the script has already transferred to PI folder. Thus if script has transferred file say "ABC_20110725.txt " and "DEF_20110725.txt ", then "temp" will have contents
    hi
    ABC_20110725.txt
    DEF_20110725.txt
    This prevents same file being put to PI source directory twice. Once temp reaches a maximum of 100 lines, this script clears the contents of temp automatically, except for the lines which belong to current year and current month. You can alter this value by altering the line "maxlines=`expr 0 + 100`" in the script shown above.
    This is because the file grows in length over time.Please take help of you BASIS team to put this file in correct folder and run it. It is working fine in our Linux server. Please run this as a background process with this command "filename.sh &".
    I think this will solve your problem. In case your operating system is windows then Please let me know I need to write batch file for the same.
