Help Needed - Embed File in Projector

Hi All - Hope someone can help.
I have a project where I need to create a catalogue. The end
projector will be downloaded and has to contain a pre formatted
exel spreadsheet which when the user clicks an order now button,
the spreadsheet will be launched externally in exel where he/she
can fill in their orders.
I have this working using Buddy API but this means having two
files to download and they have to be in the same location. To keep
things as simple as possible I have been asked to embed the file in
the projector.
I've been searching the web for a couple of days now but can
find no solution. I found Smart OLE Xtra which sounded like it
might be what I'm looking for, however, it appears to only
available for the PC and I'm using a Mac.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.

I also am using Jeode's VM, and faced with the same challenge of transferring files from a barcode scanner connected to the PC via a USB cradle.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to transfer the files directly to the PC using Java on the PDA device. The problem is that Java needs a network connection in order to transfer the files, which the USB cradle does not supply (uses a serial USB connection to communicate to the PC). Unless you can physically address the USB cradle from Java you cannot transfer the files. One way to possibly overcome this is to try addressing the USB cradle from the PC (maybe by Windows specific API calls using JNI) and 'pull' the files from the PDA in the cradle. Not a simple proposition.
What I ended up doing was utilizing ActiveSync on the PC and PDA. Part of the setup of the PDA was to specifically name the device with a known name, so that the ActiveSync shared folder could be referenced from both the PDA and PC. Copying files to the shared folder on the PDA automatically synchronized the files to the PC, and vice-versa.
Not very elegant, but the quickest way to move files back and forth...

Help needed for file processing using FTP

Hi All,
I am new to ODI tool and currently we are implementing one project in ODI. Could you please, any one help me on the following requirement... how to implement it?
Scenario:
i) I need to pick a file from remote host 'outbox' dir using FTP process, and place into local 'temp' dir. (I can do it with odiFTPGet tool)
ii) Change the file as per target business requirement.??? ( this step challenging me)
for ex:
if source file name : <project name>_<source ID>_<transaction name>_<unique id>.txt
target name should be : 1234_<transaction name>_<sysdate in yyyyMMddhhmmss>_<unique id>_2345.txt ( here 1234 and 2345 are hard coded values)
iii) Later move to local 'temp' to local 'outbox' dir. ( I can do it with odiFileMove tool)
iv) After successful process move the file from remote 'outbox' to remote 'archive' dir ??? (again this is challenging me).
For this my questions are:
1) How to get file name into a variable ( In one of the post , it says we need to create data model and data stores, and interface to get the file names into a file. apart from is there any easy way i can implement it in package it self?)
2) How to tokenize a long string ( i.e., need to tokenize the source file to get <unique id> and <transaction name> and map to target file name)
3) How to define implementation for Java in user function?? do we need to use class declarations and import statements?? I need a sample user function in Java.
4) How to move/rename a file in remote server?? ( need to move file from remote 'outbox' server to remote archive' dir)
5) If any step in package fails, How to get the error msg into a variable which i can use for sending mail and raise a ticket in remedy?? ( I will pass that variable to as content to mail and remedy ticket)
6) How to handle list type data (string list) by variables in ODI?? (As we can define single variable not as list.)
I am sorry to ask all my queries I a single post. But I need to solutions for all to implement this in my project.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate early response.

Help needed in FILE CC

Hi All,
I am trying to convert XML to CSV(Content conversion in Receiver File adapter).
1. Here is the XML
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Emp_MT xmlns:ns0="http://sdn.com/XML_TO_CSV_01">
<Record>
<Name>David</Name>
<Sal>100</Sal>
</Record>
<Record>
<Name>Michal</Name>
<Sal>200</Sal>
</Record>
<Trailer>
<Flag>END_END</Flag>
</Trailer>
</ns0:Emp_MT>
2. My output need to be
David|100|
Michal|200|
END_END|
3.Content conversion
Recordset Structure     = Record,*,Trailer,1
Record.endSeparator     |
Record.fieldSeparator     |
Trailer.endSeparator     |
Trailer.fieldSeparator     |
Record.addHeaderLine     0
I know I am doing wrong with CC. I went through the blog, but could not able to fix it. Can any one help me in fixing it.
Thank you
Ganges Leaves

Hi Ganges,
you need to pass in content conversion the below parameters
Recordset Structure = Record,*,Trailer,1
Record.fieldNames   - Name,Sal
Record.fieldSeparator - |
Trailer.fieldNames - Flag
Trailer.fieldSeparator - |
Record.fromConfiguration - YES
If above solution is not working then your XML Structure need to change as per below
The expected XML structure contains the structure as nodes filled with any number of elements without additional subnodes.
The expected document structure usually looks like this:
<root>...
   <nameA>
         <value1>value</value1>
         <value2>value</value2>
         <value3>value</value3>
   </nameA>
   <nameB>
         <value4>value</value4>
   </nameB>
</root>...
You can use any element names you like. There can be any number of different substructures under the root element, which can be mapped to different CSV structures.

Help needed with File Formats (Save As...)

Somewhere upgrading versions of Photoshop (Mac), some old File Formats have remained. The result is that I cannot properly select a File Format to Save As... except the native PSD format. Others have to be selected by selecting a format below the one on the list, meaning that I cannot select TIFF because there are no formats below this one. (Accepted formats http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7758a.h tml#WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7754a)
I've looked in the Plugins folder and there are no strange file formats there. I checked Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins but nothing there. I've tried searching the entire hard drive for Compuserve GIF (one of the offending file formats) but nothing matches.
I give up trying to figure out where some of the problem plugins are located. As you can see from the image below, selecting Multi-Picture Format actually will save it as a jpg. From reading Adobe's formats, I think CompuServe GIF is causing part of the problem. I don't know what other one.
Or it may be that I just need to reset something so all formats are properly recognized. Can anyone help?

Curt,
That is great information. Unfortunately I've already checked the preferences and do not have an additional plugin folder specified.
Suppossedly, according to the information from Adobe, the only place plugins should be loaded is in the Photoshop > Plug-Ins folder, or possibly Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins (according to the link you provided). There is nothing there.
When I look at Photoshop > About Plug-ins I see that, for example, there are two (2) versions of CompuServe GIF format. Obviously one is old from a previous install/update, but I cannot find it anywhere. If I could find it, I could remove it. I suspect that is one of the conflicts causing my problem, but I see no way in Preferences to remove a plug-in. The link you gave says to move it outside the folder, but it presupposes you can even find the offending plug-in, which I cannot.

Some help needed regarding Files and URLs on a server

I don't get it - my applet works in a local directory, but not on a server. This has to do with the loading of files (I load an array of images to use, but when I attempt to use that array, it comes up with the error ArrayIndexOutOfBounds), but I can't understand what the problem is...
I have a code that loads files (using File objects) from the current directory (a .jar file) into the program. I do not simply type in the file names - I set it so that the program searches for them based on a prefix in the file name. This works fine on my computer, and I never navigate to files outside of the .jar file. Why might this have a problem on a server? Would URL objects be more appropriate?
Note: I alter the file base String in this way before loading it (this stands for the current directory)
fileBase = applet.codeBase.toString().replace('\\', '/');codeBase is simply the applet's codeBase() method put into a URL variable. The replace statement is there so that there are no backslashes. And this works perfectly on my computer. Any help? Would it work if I used a URL instead? If so, how do I perform a search function with a URL (so that all the filenames within a certain directory are returned as Strings)?

Thanks for the info, it helps a lot. You say there is no "practical" way to search for a file under a URL path. What I am trying to do is load a file that begins with a particular prefix. (eg. I wish to load a file called "funnyImage0011204924." However, the numbers after the prefix "funnyImage" are variable, and might require change in the future. Is it possible to load any file with the prefix "funnyImage," using URL methods? Would I need to create a new class? Is this impossible?)
Please remember that I do not plan to go outside the .jar file, so there is no point in trying to get around server permissions and all that if it is unnecessary.

Help needed with File.canRead()

I'm having trouble getting File.canRead() to return true when I think it should be.
On my Solaris 8 system there should be an empty directory called:
/h/data/local/ME
In order to check if it exists, I have my program create the path to the directory like this:
String pathString = makeUrlFormat(File.separator + "h" + File.separator + "data" + File.separator + "local" + File.separator + "ME" + File.separator);
File tempFile = new File(pathString);
if (tempFile.canRead() == false)
//error
} //end ifThe problem I'm having is that the directory does exist, and has universal read/write privileges, yet I keep getting an "AccessControlException:access denied" exception.
Does anyone have any idea what might be preventing my program from reading from this directory?

You need to actually create the file first -String pathString = makeUrlFormat(File.separator + "h" + File.separator + "data" + File.separator + "local" + File.separator + "ME" + File.separator);
File tempFile = new File(pathString);
// ADD THIS ///////////////
tempFile.createNewFile();
if (tempFile.canRead() == false){
//error
} //end if

Help Needed With File/Image Size

I need a quick way to find an images _dimensions and size in kb_ on a safari webpage without having to download the image.
What I'd really like is to be able to right click on an image and have the dimensions and size in kb displayed. Either that, or use an app to do it.
Right now I am using the Inspect Element tool in the right click menu to find an images dimensions, but it doesn't show size in kb anywhere that I can see, and it's kind of a pain working with all the drop down menus.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Help needed - Missing Files in Aperture

Hi All:
A quick question: I initially imported RAW files in to a new project. During some time I was doing adjustment to these files, a subset of these files disappeared from the browser (I checked under "all image library" and the project). I can't remember if I inadvertantly deleted them from the Library.
However, the strange thing is that I still have these files in the Aperture Library (I have checked and confirmed that they are physically in the Library and they are not referenced files).
How would I bring these files back to be shown in Aperture ?
Thanks,
Ed
mbp 17" 2.16 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2G 100G@7200

I wanted to ask anyone (close to this issue) if they've had the problem I've had after upgrading to ver. 1.5.3. Once this upgrade was done, and I opened Aperture, I noticed that lots of photos seems to be missing. specificly from July of 2006 to current. These photos were stored in several projects that I created simply listed as months (ie. 0701-Photos) meaning Jan of 2007 photos, etc.
These projects and their photos are not to be seen now. I'm hoping there're on my hard drive somewhere. I've tried to rebuild library but no luck.
Help please from anyone?? Thanks!

Some help needed getting file path

I had some help earlier attaching a file to mail via a dialog. That worked great.
Now I am trying to get a particular file to attach.
The following works but if i try to dynamically define the path ie comment out line 1 and bring into the script lines 2 and 3 it only adds the folder (line one). Any ideas?
tell application "Finder" to set the_files to {alias "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"} --------------line 1
--set the_path to "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:" as alias ---------line 2
--set attach_file to "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf" -------line 3
tell application "Finder" to set the_files to the_path & attach_file
tell application "Mail" to tell (make new outgoing message) to set visible to true
tell application "Mail"
tell front outgoing message
repeat with a_file in the_files
make new attachment with properties {file name:a_file} at after the last paragraph
end repeat
set visible to true
end tell
end tell

Your problem is in the line:
<pre class=command>tell application "Finder" to set the_files to the_path & attach_file</pre>
where the_path is an alias and attach_file is a string representing the file name.
When you use the concatenate operator ( & ) with two different object classes (in this case an alias and a string), you get a list as the result, so after this line runs the_files equates to a list containing two items:
<pre class=command>{alias "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:", "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"}</pre>
There's no way that Mail.app can translate that into something that can be attached to an email message.
Instead, what you want to do is NOT define the_path as an alias, leave it as a string. Now the above line would result in one long string of the form:
<pre class=command>"Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"</pre>
which can easily be coerced to an alias suitable for Mail.app:
<pre class=command>set the_path to "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:"
set attach_file to "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"
tell application "Finder" to set the_files to alias (the_path & attach_file)</pre>

Help needed parsing file contents.

I have a program that opens a file reads the contents a line at a time and tries to extract the contents after a tag into some variables.
The format of the file is always:
</Title>
</Version>
</WelcomeText>
</Logo>
</TimeDelaySec>
</Buttons>
</ButtonLabel1>
</ButtonLabel2>
</End>
Title, Version and Welcome must have something after them. Welcome can be multi-line and include Tabs and newlines.
Time Delay and Buttons will always have a couple of characters of text after the tags. End never has anything after it is optional whether anything follows on from the all the other tags.
Now I try and read these into strings for each tag. I don't require the tag only the information that follows it but things get a bit mixed up depending on whether things are included or not and whether the Welcome contains newlines.
Can anyone suggest a good way to extract these details and possibly give an example. Many thanks.
Mark.

Help needed: renumbering files

I need an Applescript to renumber files in a large set of nested folders. For each of the nested folders, I would like the script to change the name of each TIFF file to X01, X02, X03, etc. Other types of files should be unaffected.
For example. Let's say I have Folder A containing three TIFFs and Folder B. Folder B also contains three TIFFs. The script would renumber the TIFFs in Folder A to X01, X02, X03 and would also renumber the TIFFs in Folder B to X01, X02, X03.
The numerical equence of the file names should be maintained. So file "70.tif" would become "X01.tif", file "74.tif" would become "X02.tif", and file "243.tif" would become "X03.tif".
Currently there are no file names which start with "X" and so I don't think I need to worry about name conflicts.
I've been using Macs since the 80's, but this is my first time posting.

Help needed in file tx from MBP with blacked out screen to ext. HDD

just got off the phone with Apple .... seems like I might have a cursed NVIDIA graphics card in my Macbook Pro 2007 model (2.4GHz core2duo)
had basically kept my MBP ('07 model) in sleep mode when I went to office. When i came back, the white light in the front wasn't pulsing anymore and it was replaced by a bright constant white light - proceeded to open the lid... and the screen was totally dark ... tried a few key combinations in random to get it up and running but to no avail .. then checked a few forums on this issue... seems like lots of ppl have the issue but a lot of them also managed to get the screen back on by resetting the SMC and PRAM (which I proceeded to try) ... unfortunately hasn't worked for me despite multipe resets of the SMC and PRAM. Gave Apple a call and all things point to the graphics card having conked out ... this ***** big time!! ...
The worst thing is that after switching on my machine, I can still load software by doing the keyboard shortcut for spotlight and typing the application ... e.g. itunes is working and I'm still managing to play songs through myh machine.. only issue is that the display is totally dark...
Now.. my big issue before I send it across to the service centre is backing up my "Downloads" folder....
Can someone help me with how I can go about doing this through terminal ? I think I just might be able to pull it off with the keyboard if I get sufficient and specific help!!!!
basically I'm looking for transfer of all contents from "Downloads" folder to an external hard disk with the name "Active" ...
help would be greatly appreciated!
Any suggestions on methods of backing up my data would be great!!...
Also, are there any precautions I should be taking/ things I ought to be wary of when sending my machine in to an authorized service centre?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does your hard drive spin up? And do you have access to another MAC?
If so, you could see if you could mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop using FireWire Target Disk mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Also mount an external drive equal or larger than your internal drive on the host Mac. Then use a cloning utility like Super Duper on the host Mac to clone your internal drive onto the external drive. This will give you a backup of everything that is on your internal drive--it will be an exact copy. This would take some time, but would likely be the best way to back up everything on your drive.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
It is especially important to back up everything on your drive, because when your Mac goes in for repair, sometimes the drive is erased and the OS reinstalled in the process of troubleshooting. Also, they will likely elect to thoroughly test the machine and do any repairs that are necessary, which could possibly include replacing the hard drive. If you have any sensitive data on the drive, you may even want to erase it before sending it in just on general principles.
Good luck!

Help Needed on File Adpater & DB Adapter

Hi,
I use FileAdapter for Reading,Parsing ,Transforming & Routing the content to DB Adapter.
Basically I read a flat file and specify the xml message format(using last step in FileAdapter wizard) .Then I Use DB adapter for inserting this XML into a table (using Routing Service).
All of these are working fine.My Problem is the Insert rate . I am getting only 18 inserts per second. I am not sure whether the FileAdapter is the reason for this or DB Adapter insertion rate is not good enough.It would be great if any one of you could give some information on Insertion rates (of DB Adapter).
Thanks
