Help Please!! Script for table needed.

Hi,
I'am formating a table in Indesign with figure in the cell like for example $(123.45) and theres a lot if it. I need to separate or move the $ sign to previous column and the closing parenthesis to the next column. What I do is to insert new column before and after then copy and paste the $ to previous column and the parenthesis to the next. Is there anyone knows to automate this using script.
Thanks,
DennisM

If your tabel isn't too complicated you can use this workaround:
1) convert table to text with TAB separator
2) replace "^t$(" to "^t$^t("
3) replace ")" to "^t)"
4) convert text to table
But what with "(" ?
Do you want to have this:
$ | (123.45 | )
or
$( | 123.45 | )

Need help creating script for specific instance

I am having trouble coming up with a working script for this part of the pricing form I am editing. I am trying to get the calculation fields to the right to change and populate in the respective field based on the selection in the Material Type dropdown. Would it be less of a headache if I made another text field to calculate the LE versions separately instead of trying to merge them into one field? I have attached screenshots below to give you an example of what I'm working with. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
Script I'm tinkering with at the moment:
//Dropdown37 = Quantity Field
//Type of Door IB = Material Type dropdown
var x = this.getField("Type of Door IB").value;
if ( x = 1468 ) event.value = x * this.getField("Dropdown37").value;
if (x = 1202) event.value = x * this.getField("Dropdown37").value;
else event.value = 0;

The comparison operator in JS is "==", so change this line:
if ( x = 1468 )
To this:
if ( x == 1468 )
(as well as the other if-statement).

Need help writing script for Digital DAQ

Hello,
I am trying to write an aquisition program for digital input coming from a hall sensor. I will be passing a magnet over a hall sensor on a motor and want to record the number of rotations. I have pasted together a script based on various websites, but it isn't functioning the way I want. I would like to be able to collect data points indefinately, or fixed, and then print out the resulting count. I have attepted to use the ctypes wrapper in Python. The NI functions remain unchanged though, so if you don't know Python it shouldn't be a problem to read. I am using a NI PCI-6503.
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
The code:
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Analog In\Measure Voltage\Acq-Int Clk\Acq-IntClk.c
import ctypes
import numpy
nidaq = ctypes.windll.nicaiu # load the DLL
# Setup some typedefs and constants
# to correspond with values in
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\include\NIDAQmx.h
# the typedefs
int32 = ctypes.c_long
uInt32 = ctypes.c_ulong
uInt64 = ctypes.c_ulonglong
float64 = ctypes.c_double
TaskHandle = uInt32
# the constants
DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines = int32(0)
def CHK(err):
"""a simple error checking routine"""
if err < 0:
buf_size = 200
buf = ctypes.create_string_buffer('\000' * buf_size)
nidaq.DAQmxGetErrorString(err,ctypes.byref(buf),buf_size)
raise RuntimeError('nidaq call failed with error %d: %s'%(err,repr(buf.value)))
# initialize variables
taskHandle = TaskHandle(0)
max_num_samples = 1000
# array to gather points
data = numpy.zeros((max_num_samples,),dtype=numpy.float64)
# now, on with the program
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateTask("",ctypes.byref(taskHandle)))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateDIChan(taskHandle,'Dev1/port1/line1',"", DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle))
read = int32()
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxReadDigitalU32(taskHandle,int32(-1),float64(1),DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data.ctypes.data,max_num_samples,ctypes.byref(read),None))
print "Acquired %d points"%(read.value)
if taskHandle.value != 0:
nidaq.DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle)
nidaq.DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle)
print "End of program, press Enter key to quit"
raw_input()
This script returns "Acquired 1 points" immediately, regardless of how many times the hall sensor has been switched.
I apologize for the sloppy code, but I understand very little of the underlying principles of these DAQ functions, despite reading their documentation. Seeing as how the code does not return an error, I am hoping there is just a minor tweak or two that will be farily obvious to someone with more experience.
Thanks

Hey Daniel,
Most of this script is from http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Data_Acquisition_with_NIDAQmx.

Please help with script for right-mouse click on 3D objects

Hi!
I have PDF file with two simple 3d objects (for example with two cube).
I need to make script that when user right-click to first cube, a PDF file (c:\a.pdf) opening (or c:\b.pdf for second one) in new windows. How to make it? Thank you so much!

Hi,
please check SDK sample 22 Right-Click, there is everything you need.
First catch RightClickEvent, then create the menu entry when beforeAction = true, and when beforeAction = false you have to remove it again (otherwise you will receive an error when rightclicking again).

I am using it for application specific files.
Kind regards,
Pete.

following:
on open(the_file)
tell application "Finder"
set name of the_file to "Image"
end tell
end open
Save this script as an application.

this script compiled correctly; however when run it returned the following error "Can't set name of (the_file) to "Image.jpg"
I am also given the option of editing the script or just quitting.

Script for table & column

Gurus,
I am looking for the scipt which should find the name of table in the current and other schemas .. i.e if I give a table name, may be as parameter to the procedure, it should search for that table name in my current schema or other schemas in my database.
Likewise, if I provide table name, the script should find the name of the column name which I have provided exists in that table or in any other tables.
Can anyone help me with the scripts
Regards

Help please: Action for arbitrary image rotation: 300 different files, each at a different angle

Hi everyone,
I have some 300 images, all handheld shots done in an on-location studio set. They all need varying amounts of image rotation since they're handheld. There's a beaded curtain in the background, so manually I use the ruler tool, draw a line along a strand of beads, and then image/rotate/arbitrary.
I need to create an action that will (1) do the arbitrary rotation and then (2) save and close the file.
However, when I record this, the value of the rotation of the sample file I'm working is what gets recorded (not surprising). In other words, if image A needs 0.28 degrees of rotation, that's not what I want for image B which might need -0.15 degrees instead. The action recorded 0.28.
Is there a way to create an action that will simply rotate according to the ruler once I've drawn it?
Thanks!
Jerry

True - and I am a keyboard shortcut dude. But got it working (I was impressed that using the mouse to unclick the last step in the history worked...), and things are doing what I needed.
And I'm hoping that my suggestion of the last-step undo will make CS5 on par with CS6 in this one small aspect, and perhaps help someone else...
Many thanks to you!!!
BTW - all in the FWIW - you can see what our work as photographers looks like here:

If you are at all into music/rock 'n roll, you'll probably have fun on our music/stage gallery. Groups like YES, Heart, Thomas Dolby, etc. use a bit of our work - just a bit of fun...

Help with script for "Import AD users from CSV with checks first"

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me if i am on the right track here?
I want to be able to provide a CSV with users and import into a new AD domain/forest. But i know there already are some AD accounts so i need to run some checks. For now i am checking only on Name and Email.
The issue i have is is with "write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user.". It outputs this 19 times which is the same amount of times as there are users in AD in this OU.
Not sure if my method is right.
$allImportedUsers=@()
$allUsersArray=@()
$searchbase="OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$path = "OU=Users,OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$allImportedUsers = Import-CSV polandusers_edited.csv
$allUsersArray = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "objectClass=User" -SearchBase $searchbase -Properties * | select *
$allImportedUsers | ForEach-Object {
$Firstname = $_.givenname
$Lastname = $_.surname
$UserMail = $_.EmailAddress
$UserFullName = $Firstname+" "+$Lastname
$importUserSAM = $_.Samaccountname
$allUsersArray | ForEach-Object {
$currUserFirstname = $_.givenName
$currUserLastname = $_.sn
$currUserMail = $_.mail
$currUserFullName = $_.name
$currUserSAM = $_.samaccountname
$currUserDN = $_.DistinguishedName
if($currUserFullName -eq $UserFullName) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on name"
$userMatched=1
if($currUserMail -eq $UserMail -AND $userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on email"
$userMatched=1
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
If only i had a cool signature!! ;)

Move below to outside the inner for-each loop:
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
so the bottom should look like
}if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0

Help Please! Chemo patient needs to walk and iPod not working

iPod Nano (4th or 5th gen) operates perfectly and battery is fully charged when plugged into the Mac, but as soon as I disconnect, can't get it to turn on. Is not in hold position and also tried reset. Any ideas? Thanks much!

It sounds like the battery is dead and in need of replacement. You can have this done by Apple for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair service center for a little less. The choice is yours.
Google "iPod battery replacement."

Help please with adf table select one

Greetings:
I have a table made from a "data control" an af:tableSelectOne. I put an af:CommandButton on the same page. When I click this button I want to set the current record to the selected row, then I forward to a page where the user is asked to confirm deletion of the selected record. My problem is that no matter what I select the first row is always returned.
What I tried to do was binding setCurrentRowWithKey to that button, this made no difference in the behavior. The delete page always comes up with the first row selected.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
troy

Is your button inside the <af:tableSelectOne> area?
This should work by default if you drag the data-control to create a table with a select option and a submit button. Then you can drag the delete button next to the submit button, or even bind the delete operation to the existing submit button.

Help please Mail for Exchange 2.5.5 - 6124 - Excha...

If anyone could help me I'd be very grateful. I have searched the web for hours to try and find a solution to my problem and have an ongoing support call with Nokia support but they haven't been able to help me.
My problem is that when I try a manual sync of mail for exchange 2.5.5 (or 2.5.3) on a Nokia 6124 I get the following error:

Hi,
The Server Name should be "mail.domainname.co.uk". I'm not telling you to drop the .com/co.uk from the Server Name! Just drop the '/exchange' from the Server Name.
Try accessing this via the IE. I mean the whole qualified name "http://mail.domainname.co.uk/exchange". It should prompt u for a User ID and Password? The try logging in by prefixing the User ID with the domainname\UserID and then a valid password.
What is the domain name that you require? Keep this as the Domain name in the MFE.
E.g You logged in as hello-dom\robstoves and then a valid password, then the Domain Name in MFE would be simply "hello-dom"
Hope this hasn't confused u even further
Give it a try.

You probably want to wrap your code samples with a tag. It looks like some of the script text is not showing up.
