Generate list of files

I've been looking into Automator for about a day, so I'm definitely a novice.
I was able to make a workflow that could rename files in a folder, and then move them to another folder.
Now what I'd like to do, either in a separate workflow or at the end of my current one, is to generate a list of the files in the new folder. Basically, to:
open a new a textedit document,
write the file names of all the re-named files into the textedit document
save the document into the same folder.
I'm not sure yet whether I'll need to strip the file path from the name or not (this file list goes into a MatLab program to tell it what files to look for).
Basically, is this doable in Automator, or should I try to do it in AppleScript (will need to learn this, so Automator would be preferable).

Hi Alan,
at the end of your workflow just add a new text file action...
The list of names will get passed on to it from the previous action.

Generate list of files /Items in a folder

Hi,
I have a folder lets say Root. This root folder may have several folders and files.
My target is to generate list of all items in this Root folder that list the all folders and items in that subsequent folders (showing path
The output may be an HTML table with item number, physical path etc.
Is it possible?
N.A.Malik

yes, it can be formatted. Simple content changes are easy:
Get-ChildItem c:\root -recurse | Select * | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File files.html
If you only want some of the values, replace the "*" with the column header names (in the order you want them).
More complex html reformatting will take some effort though.
Cheers,

Dtrace Script to Generate List of Files that Changed on NFS server?

Our Solaris NFS (v3/v4) fileserver serves filesystems with a huge number of files, a relatively few of which are modified daily. Is there a dtrace script I can run on the server which would generate a list of the files that were created or modified while it was running?

Well, write something based on the rwsnoop from dtracetoolkit
http://www.dtracebook.com/index.php/File_System:rwsnoop
Then i guess we should ask ourself if its a good idea for a long term monitoring.. probably not.

I think it does that for QuickTime if you don't define the lineStride value in the VideoFormat (lineStride = pixelStride * width).

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

How do you find out what application is generating a plist file in your preference folder?

I have had two similar warnings come up in Drive Genius 3, a program that I use to manage my drives. The warnings occur during a daily verification of preferences on my main drive, a 256GB SSD.
They state:
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.analogsolutions.Football.plist' may be corrupted."
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.machinedevelop.National.plist' may be corrupted."
Per Drive Genius' advisement, "Corrupted files can cause appplication crashes and should be moved to the Trash." I delete the files, however they are regenerated each day.
Q: How do you figure out what application is generating a preference file? And is there a way to tell if this is a OS generated preference file?
I have searched online and cannot find any information about either Analog Solutions or Machine Develop nor am I able to discern what these particular .plist files are for...
Q: Are these two .plist files truly potentially harmful?
Thanks for the Help!

Hi Everyone, sorry for the late response. I have been monitoring my Preferences Folder; every moment I am on my computer trying to catch what application/process generates these files. I was hoping to try your suggestions, but oddly enough the offensive .plist files have not returned since the last time I deleted them about a week ago.... strange...
In any case, I have responded to some of your suggestions and questions that I have information on:
X423424X wrote: Ok, can you double click the .plist file? If so it should attempt to launch the Property List Editor (in your Utilities folder). That way you can look at stuff in the plist. Maybe (hopefully) there's something in there that can shed some light on who is creating it. If Property List Editor cannot open the file (some apps create files that have the .plist extension but don't actually create the proper XML format -- probably what ProSoft was alluding to) then try opening it with a text editor.
The .plist file when opened in text editor contains a string of (what to me seems to be) an arbitrary list of numbers.
Linc Davis wrote: Those files have been given obfuscated names so you won't know what created them. They must contain encrypted registration data for some third-party commercial software that you use.
Yes, seems likely...
Linc Davis wrote: It should be fairly easy to find out what application is creating them, if you really care. Move the files to the Desktop, then log out. Log back in while holding the shift key as you click the "Log In" button. That will prevent your login items from loading, among other things. Open your account preferences and launch the login items one at a time by double-clicking them in the list. After each one, check to see whether the files have been recreated.
Ran through login, one by one, no luck in identifying the application(s).
X423424X wrote: Another thought, lock the plists on the hope that whatever is using them will "choke" and complain about it (no guarantee that will work but worth a try).
Thanks, the lock idea is the one I will try next if they ever reappear...
X423424X wrote: Also, I don't recall if I asked this but if those plists are deleted while logged in will they be recreated during that same login session. Or do they only appear after you deleted them and then and then logged out and back in? Or do you have to reboot to recreate them?
Unfortunately I do not know for certain. Though from all my login/startup/reboot tests I believe that they are not directly linked to starting up the machine or loging in either.
I'm not really certain why the .plist have not returned. I haven't uninstalled any programs, though I did run a couple updates for some widgets within the last week; however that was about 3 days after I deleted the last set of .plist files and usually they reappered everyday. In any case, given that they have not been regenerated I guess my problem is solved per se, at least I am no longer getting that annoying warning everyday. Still, it's a bit of a mystery
Thanks again for all the help!

Idoc types that generate the log files

Hi All,
Can anybody provide me the list of IDOC types that generated application log files.
As I found that material master IDOCs generate log files. Is there IDOC types other
than material master that generate log files.
Regards,
Azra.

Hi Azra,
You can tell whether an IDOC does create the application log from the function module it uses.
Go to SE37, and type in IDOC_INPUT_<message_type> for inbound or IDOC_OUTPUT_<message_type> for outbound, and search for any function module which start with 'BAL_'. If you can find it, then it creates application log files.

Read and List the Files from Remote Webserver Path

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to Read and List the files from a Folder of Remote webserver path using JAVA.
Remote webserver is within the network only...No Firewall and also Access is given to Read the folder. No Issues on this.
Folder will just contain some PDF files...
I just need to display the PDF file names available in the Folder..
No need to read the PDF File...Only required to read the folder to list the file names in it.
Looking forward some workaround to this.
Thanks and Regards.

I need to read the folder from a webserver path of different machine...
File dir = new File( prop.getProperty("inputPath"));
File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
final String match=siteName;
     final String type=reportType;
     Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
     c1.add(Calendar.MONTH, - Integer.parseInt(prop.getProperty("filterMonths"))); //Filters reportes generated in last X months (X picked from config file)
     final long filterDate = c1.getTime().getTime();
     FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File file) {
     long fileLastModiDate = file.lastModified();
     if((fileLastModiDate >= filterDate) && (file.getName().toLowerCase().startsWith(match)) && ( (type.equals("M") && file.getName().indexOf("WIP")==-1) || ((!type.equals("M") && file.getName().indexOf("WIP")!=-1)) ) ) {
          return true;
     }else {
          return false;
Here it works fine if the input path is local machine..
But i need to know how to give the input path as WEBSERVER PATH of different machine??

Generating list in "Create a Segment" returns whole customer list.

Hi.
In obiee marketing (Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4), we are trying to generate a marketing list.
We have created a list format ( customer nr,email, firstname,lastname). We have no filter on the format list.
We have then created a segment and connected the segment to a list format.
Our segment returns a part of our customer set. When we check the count, it returns 500 customers out of our total stock of 5,000, and this is the number that we are expecting.
However, when click on "generate lists", the list includes all 5000 customers. It seems to be ignoring the segment and just returns what was in the format list.
Why is this happening?
We have read that when creating a list format you can check the “Re-qualify list results against original segment criteria”. But we are missing this check box in the Create list format section. Why are we missing this check box and does it have anything to do with our problem.
Best Regards
Joel

Hi.
We found the problem. In the Oracle BI Administration Tool, Marketing Manager, we didn't have Qualifying Keys set in our List Catalog.
After setting the Qualifed List Item to our customer nr column, the “Re-qualify list results against original segment criteria” checkbox showed
up when creating a format list.
After this, when clicking on "generating lists" in the segment tool, our file contained the correct number of customers, instead of the whole customer population.

Lists of file names in a book

Does anyone know how to generate a list of file names in a book?

To generate a list of filenames you could create a new paragraph format, e. g. #Filename. Then insert a #Filename paragraph that contains only FM's filename variable. Repeat this for every chapter of your book.
Finally generate a list of paragraphs for the book, which lists all #Filename paragraphs.You may want to remove <$pagenum> from the LOP reference page so that it doesn't appear in the output.
If you have that generated list, you can either include it as part of the book or save as text to get a list of files externally. If you are just after the filenames, Arnis' suggestion is probably easier.

Edit the database that RH10 uses to generate the CPD file

Is it possible to edit the database that RH10 uses to generate the CPD file? I've got one weird entry in the topics list in the Project Manager pod. I've deleted the CPD file and let RH10 rebuild it but the entry is still there. My team leader would like me to get rid of the entry before we send the project to translation. Thanks.

Dang, I saw that same problem occur with a project I was trying to fix but eventually I had to start over on a fresh copy of the broken project and did not create the problem again.
If you are using an agency that translates and uses RoboHelp, the last thing I would have done is delete the snippet. They would have translated that once instead of everywhere it is used thus keeping costs down. That is an aside though.
Do you have a backup of the project so that you can recreate the Snippet in the hope that the project is good with that in and you can then delete again to check you used the right option?

How To: Sort Numbers in Ascending Order in a Generated List

Greetings! How do I set up a Generated List of Paragraphs so that it sorts in true ascending order? What I want is:
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4
1.5
1.6
1.7
1.8
1.9
1.10
I have tried every trick I can think of with the sort order listed on the reference page. But all I can get is something that sorts by individual number (ignoring the numeric value) like:
1.1
1.10
1.11
1.2
1.20
1.21
1.3
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello there, Michael! Thanks so much for looking at my post! Alas, the LOP will not work. I should have explained more, but it was so complicated I thought folks would give up reading.
Here's the best I can render it without getting permission to share a good example document. I do not blame anyone if it's too cumbersome or convoluted to wade through...
This is a requirements document which has sort of a "legal" tinge to it--as the document evolves we must maintain traceability for individual requirements. This means, for example:
Version 1 - I have requirements 1 and 2.
Version 2 - I need to add a new requirement, which should appear before requirement 1 in the document. Even though it comes before requirement 1 in the document, numerically it will be requirement 3 and requirement 1 will remain requirement 1.
Version 3 - I need to remove requirement 2. Even though I now have only 2 requirements, their numbers will not change (they remain requirements 1 and 3, appearing in reverse order).
Version 4 - I need to move requirement 3 to be after requirement 1. Again, the requirements keep their original number, even though their position has changed and there is no longer a "requirement 2" number in use.
Originally, I told the team (I'm doing this for a different dept), that they would have to hand-number requirements, which they did for a while. But that was getting very cumbersome, and the scenarios above are limited to one or two occurrences per document. So I created an auto-number sequence for them to use in the initial version and added a little smoke-and-mirrors work process to take care of changes in later versions. The last bit of chicanery I cannot get to work is the index...
Even if there are no changes to the requirements after the initial version, the index still does not sort in ascending numeric order. It was working with the hand-numbered requirements because they were using leading zeros. But without being able to include leading zeros in the auto-numbering formats (I tried the "use a zero as a tab leader" solution and like to have thrown my new monitor out of the window), I cannot find a solution.
Or rather, I think the solution is "you have to hand-number requirements".
For anyone who has made it this far, I truly appreciate your time and patience!

Now We want to provide the user with a list of files to pick from for downloading..,Dat is he should be shown the list of files which is available from dat he has to select one file to downlaod ???
can u plz tell me how to do it....
anoo

Hi Anoo,
Create a report using the following SQL statement:
SELECT ID,
FILENAME,
CREATED_ON
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
ORDER BY CREATED_ON DESCThere are other fields available from the table, but the above gives you a start.
Then edit the report's Report Attributes.
Edit the CREATED_ON column and pick a Number/Date Format to use for the display and Apply Changes
Edit the ID column. In the Column Link section, enter:
Link Text: <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#download.gif" alt="Download">
Target: URL
URL: p?n=#ID#
Apply Changes and run your report
