Help needed in creating File Directory if not exist

hi, All
I am thinking about wite files to directories based on year, month, day. if the directory for that year or month or day exists already, do not create the directory, but write the file to that directory.
For example: 2003/02/22/file.txt --2003/02/22 exist, just write file.txt
If the directory does not exist, the program will create the direcotry and write the file into the right directory.
For example 2003/02/22/file.txt, ---2003/02/22/ does not exist, the program will create the directoies and write file file.txt
If anyone can provide any example or suggestion, I really appreciate!
Thanks
Steve

Hi!
Just have a look at the class "File"
and it's method "exists()".
Hope, that helps.

Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back

I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.

What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you !

Help Needed in Creating Java Class and Java Stored Procedures

Hi,
Can anyone tell how can i create Java Class, Java Source and Java Resource in Oracle Database.
I have seen the Documents. But i couldn't able to understand it correctly.
I will be helpful when i get some Examples for creating a Java Class, Java Source and Stored Procedures with Java with details.
Is that possible to Create a Java class in the oracle Database itself ?.
Where are the files located for the existing Java Class ?..
Help Needed Please.
Thanks,
Murali.v

Hi Murali,
Heres a thread which discussed uploading java source file instead of runnable code on to the database, which might be helpful :
Configure deployment to a database to upload the java file instead of class
The files for the java class you created in JDev project is located in the myworks folder in jdev, eg, <jdev_home>\jdev\mywork\Application1\Project1\src\project1
Hope this helps,
Sunil..

Help needed in splitting files using BPM

Hello experts,
I am working on an interface where i need to split files within BPM.
I know,i can achieve it in Message Mapping by mapping Recordset to Target structure and then using Interface Mapping within Transformation step.But i dont want to follow this.Is there an alternative way to achieve this within BPM.
I have an input file with multiple headers and i need to split for each header.My input file looks like this:
HXXXXXABCDVN01
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN02
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN03
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is there a way, where i can specify this condition within BPM , that split files for every H.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
have your target structure with occurence as 0...unbounded in the mapping and map the header filed to the root node (repeating parent node) of the target structure....this will create as many target messages as the header fileds....if you want to send these messages separately then use a block in BPM with ForEach option....
Splitting and Dynamic configuration can be applied in the same mapping.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Thanks

Ram,
I have had printing problems too a year and a half ago. I used all printing apis of java and I still find that it is something java lacks. Now basically you can try autosense. To check whether your printer is capable of printing the docflavor use this PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset); . If it lists the printer then he can print the document otherwise he can't. I guess that is why you get the error.

Help needed with creating Flash game

Hello,
I need to create Flash educational/quiz game for one of my clients. It would be based on concept like these ones for example:
Example 1
http://go.ucsusa.org/game/
Example 2

Note: when you open this link you will see two text boxs which you first must fill. On the left side text box "Upišite ime" means "Type your name" and right one "Upišite godinu svog rođenja" means "Year of birth"
What is interesting about this type of games is that they are classic games (for example game Labirint where you have to find way out), but during play pop-up questions starts to appear to test end user knowledge abot certain topic (in example 2 topic is about AIDS/HIV). In case of my client, topic is about Eco environment.
Here is where my trouble starts;) : I found many useful free tutorials how to create simple flash game (most interesting example I found is this one http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/index.php) BUT I dont know how make that system of popup questions appear during game similar to Example 1 and Example 2?
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for promt reply.
Greetings,

Update: I have just read all instructions in Snake tutorial which helped be better realize how Snake game works.
a) This is what I plan to realize for my client:
1. Snake game which end users will play and during play pop-up/quiz quesions will appear on topic Eco environment;
2. For example when end user earns 50 points he must answer some of the random questions like "Q:How many ton of waste are produced by US livestock each year" with three answers A1: "1 milion" A2: "1 bilion" A3: "2 bilion" and after user scores 100 points then another question pops up and so on. This is all true if all answers are correct but in case he answer some question wrong than game can start from begining or another solution could be he looses -50 or -100 points.
3. At the end, user which gains most points wins.
b) This is what I have done till now:
I have this file http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/snakeGameWithHighscore.zip which I partly understand how it works with my Flash knowladge.
All functions and main game engine is in layer code:
"// Snake Game by Strille, 2004, www.strille.net

Now what is left to do is somehow to iclude educational quiz in this game/code. First idea that came to me is same thing Ned suggested: to create some unique movie clip which would contain all data/questions lined up but main problem for me is how to "trigger" that movie clip to play only AFTER end user clicks on "Start game" or SPACE to restart? Not sure how to solve this issue?

Help needed making SWF file loop

Hello Everyone-
I have been researching this topic and am really struggling.
I'm not much of a HTML guy and I think I'll need to do some to
resolve my issues. I have searched and searched but I'm not having
any luck.
I create an animation in Apple Motion, exported it as a MOV
and imported it as video into Flash CS3. It was encoded using
Progressive download from server it creates a FLV file a SWF file
and an HTML file. My provider is 1and1. I then use Adobe GoLive to
create my webpage and upload to the web. I need my SWF file to loop
and I cannot get it to loop.
In flash. Everything plays fine. When I do a publish preview
however, the swf file does not loop. I've got the loop option
checked in my publish preview settings and even in the inspector in
GoLive but it does nothing.
Here is the link to the page. And the source code. If anyone
can help me that would be genius.
PS there is actually two SWF that I need to loop. Neither of
them are looping.

The problem you are encountering is that you are telling the
SWF to loop, when in fact you need to tell the FLV to loop.
Unfortunately, you need to code a few lines of Actionscript
to get this to work, you would think that it would be as simple as
just checking an option.
I don't know if you have an AS2 or AS3 project, so I'm going
to give you both for the code.
Actionscript 2:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage.
2. In the Actions panel, enter the following:
on(complete){
this.autoRewind = true;
this.play();
Actionscript 3:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage, and give it
an instance name by entering some text in the properties panel.
(Upper left corner of the panel, right under where it says
"Component" there is a text input box. This is where you input it.)
Names are commonly things like "myFLVPlayback" or "myVideo" etc.
2. Deselect everything.
3. In the actions panel, enter the following (replacing
"myVideo" with the instance name you chose):
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,doLoop);
function doLoop(evt:VideoEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.play();
Either of those blocks of code should work for you. Simply
add them to your flash project and re-export the SWF.

Help re: Flash Output File Structure

I need to create an easily clickable "Start Presentation" button for a client off a thumb drive/usb drive. I have outputted my DVD content as Flash and everything works as originally exported....however, my client is never going to know to click on the "index.html" file to begin the presentation. Apparently if I try to move the index.html file outside of the same folder as the XML and SWF, the whole thing no longer works. Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this problem? Ideally, I would like the client to be able to click on the drive and see a Start Presentation button (an alias, an html file, etc) and a Files folder that contains everything else but I haven't been able to either successfully edit the index.html file, or create an alias for macs and shortcut for pcs and have them still work after sharing with another machine.
Please can anyone help?

I'll try to take a look at this later.
Not really an Encore question beyond confirming that you have to keep the index.html file in the folder with the other stuff.
But your problem is getting any page to open from the thumbdrive insertion/root.
Worst case: put a web page named "DoubleClick This To Access video.htm" which gives them a button to the index.htm page

Help need to create a query

I need to fetch records from a table. Please help me to create a query
The Tablename is Employee. It has the following records
Department Empname Gender
Finance Tom Male
Finance Rick Male
Finance Stacy Female
Corporate Tom Male
Corporate Rob Male
I want to select the value of the Gender field from the Employee table corresponding to a Department
If all the values in the Gender field are 'MALE' corresponding to 'finance' in the Department field, the value should be 'MALE'
If there is a value 'FEMALE', the gender corresponding to the Empname 'TOM' should be considered as the gender

Tables have rows - not records.
Your question is a basic SQL language question - which means you do not know the SQL language. This forum is not a classroom for teaching you the SQL language.
Use the following as the basic outline of how your SQL language statement need to look like for selecting the required from the table:
SELECT
<<sql projection goes here>>
FROM <<table name goes here>>
WHERE <<filter conditions go here>>
{code}
The SQL projection specifies the list of columns the SQL need to return to the caller.
The filter condition is basic predicates and AND and OR can be used for multiple predicates.
Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and look for the +SQL Reference Guide+ for the Oracle version you are using. The +SELECT+ statement syntax is covered in detail and sample statements are provided.
And please do not expect this forum to be used as a classroom, or expect this forum to do your homework for a class.

Help needed to create Quik Time VR movies, step by step

Hello,
thank you for your attenction.
I need to create Quick time vr movies, and I need to know the exact sequance of steeps to do it, and if the starting point I use is correct.
1) I shooted a sequence of photos with my digital camera (for example: www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/still-photo.jpg).
2) Then, with photoshop (CS4) I choose: Automate/photomerge and I select all them to joint them in a bigger 360° panoramic one (www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/pan.jpg). If, untill here, all is correct, the first question: in photoshop Photomerge layout option, do I have to choose one voice "auto, perspective, cylindrical, spherical, etc..." rather than anoter one of these?
3) from here, I really need your help.
First of all: the great doubt:
My photos can not cover a spherical panorama, they're only a "ring" around a center (and not a spherical texture). To cover all the surface (or almost all, ok...) of my ambient, do I have to use a wider lens on my camera or there is a different solution (for ex a vertical photomerge?).
4) Done this, I think I shuold buy a software like Cubic converter, to set and export the QTVR movie. Right?
Thanks a lot guys,
all the best!
Stefano

You can call your local apple store(find one on the home page of apple.com) and they will give you instructions how to convert DVD to iPod. That is what they told me, but from what I heard, you may need more than Quicktime Pro. Just call and ask them, because if you make a manual of how to do it, it could help me a lot.
(I'm looking for a good DVD converter, already know some, beside the internet download ones)

I was told to change Data VBRK/VBRP to 003 One Invoice which I did in both of these item cat. and yes they worked perfectly but at time of creating the invoice for service material the qty that showed was 11. Note: In sales order it is 1 qty. So I went back into the config of item cat TAD and changed copying requirement to 023 instead of 002 but nothing changed. Seems a qty of 10 is referencing something else which I have no idea what or where it is picking this up from. Just to see or test things I went into the sales order and tried changing the service material qty then a weird popup appears and says service order 12344456 has been blocked. (Seriously I have no idea why this would happen or should be existing at all.) Even if for some reason it is being referenced the service order that is existing is qty 1.
I really really do need help and if someone can help me that would be god sent.

You did not mention what value is maintained in the field billing quantity in the copy control->Item settings. Check for the service item, what value is assigned. Put value A and re-test.
Note that whenever you change any settings in configuration side, you need to create a new documents to test the results of the settings. You should not use the existing documents.
When you say the document is blocked, then check the status of the sales order to find the reason for blocking (like credit block, approval etc)..

Help needed to create a CSS 'style-switcher' button.

Hi,
I need some help please in creating alternate style sheets for each page on a site I'm creating to enable users to change text size (i.e. small, normal and large options - sometimes, symbolized as a letter 'A' in varying sizes). The site has been built in basic format so far but I would like to add these features for the sake of usability. There are no actual problems with the site as it currently works fine, it's just this one thing I need help with.
Is this possible using post-processing methods, (which I have no problem doing) and if so could someone kindly point me in the right direction? I've searched the iWeb forum using keywords most relevant to this question and have found nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Matt

Thanks varkgirl,
This works (partially): this is the page:

The first paragraph is not responding and at larger sizes line spacing is not in proportion to the size of the text (and is squashed), what am I doing wrong?
Hope you can assist.

Hi, I'm new to Mac and need my photo file structure to resemble what it was on my PC

I uploaded all my new photos from my PC, which then fed into iphoto.
However when I look into the iphoto library they have automatically created folder and file names, rather than what they were names in my PC. In the iphoto ap they appear fine there.
How do I get the library structure to resemble the folder names given in the iphoto ap or on my old pc?
It is the latest operating structure and iphoto ap running.

Just tp highlight a couple of major issues with a referenced library
Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library
This preference is turned on by default. When you import photos from a hard disk, iPhoto copies(duplicates) the photos to the iPhoto library and uses the copies. The original photos remain untouched in their current locations.
If you have an extensive collection of photos on your computer and you want to keep your current file organization, you can have iPhoto point to your original photo files instead of importing them into your iPhoto library. To have iPhoto access your photos from their current locations on your hard disk (rather than making copies of them), deselect this checkbox. Note that if you edit one of these images in iPhoto, the edited version is saved in the iPhoto library and the original file remains untouched.
If you turn off this preference, be sure not to move the photos from the location from which they were imported. If you move the files, your iPhoto library won’t work correctly.
So you still have not reporduced the PC structure since you only have that structure for the original photos - no edits appear in that structure
Importing is more compicated
Deleting ai more complicated since you have to delete form iPhoto nand then from yoru own managed file structure
and most critically you can not more the photos - so replacing defective hardware or upgrading to a larger hard drive or to a new computer is not possible
Plus there is no gain from a referenced library - so I suggest you do not recommend it since it does not work for hardly anyone
