Help to make script

I would like to run this command:
sudo rsync -avzp --progress --delete --exclude=/root --exclude=/var/tmp/kde* --exclude=/proc --exclude=/home --exclude=/media --exclude=/var/cache/pacman --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/var/backup --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/usr/man --exclude=/var/abs --exclude=/sys / /media/extra/backup/archbackup
But make a script so it asks me what the destination ("/media/extra/backup/archbackup" above) will be. Any help appreciated, thanks

You could make a bash script called "backup" and call it using "backup <directory>" and use
sudo rsync -avzp --progress --delete --exclude=/root --exclude=/var/tmp/kde* --exclude=/proc --exclude=/home --exclude=/media --exclude=/var/cache/pacman --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/var/backup --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/usr/man --exclude=/var/abs --exclude=/sys / $1

Please help explain the error "Can't make «script» into type Unicode text"

i am writing an applescript for my eyetv installation that handles recorded shows. i have posted in their forums, without reply, so thought maybe i could get some understanding of the technicalities of the fault to try to fix myself!!
i have a sub-routine:
to deleteeyetvrecording(theRecordingID)
set theScriptLibrary to load script file "Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:ScriptLibraryv1.scpt"
tell application "EyeTV"
theScriptLibrary's log_event("RecordingDone", "Deleting EyeTV recording: " & (get title of theRecordingID), 2)
try
delete theRecordingID
on error theErrorMessage number theErrorNumber from theErrorObject
theScriptLibrary's log_event("RecordingDone", "deleteeyetvrecording: " & theErrorNumber & ": " & theErrorMessage & ". Object: " & theErrorObject, 2)
end try
end tell
end deleteeyetvrecording
even though the line above the error works fine and retrieves the Title property of the eyetv recording, the delete command on the next line outputs to the log file:
Sunday, October 26, 2008 09:50:51 [ 1 ] Error deleting file (4/4): -1700: Can’t make «script» into type Unicode text.
what does this error mean? what syntax changes are needed?
note this sub-routine worked in v1 of my script - i only copy and pasted it to the v2 script! go figure!
regards
jingo_man

Hello
Without knowing what theRecordingID is, how deleteeyetvrecording() is called and what the actual code of log_event() is, I can only guess.
The said error log is most likely not written by the code in the try block you provided, which should throw error by itself when theErrorObject cannot be coerced to string. I'd guess you have an enclosing try block where you call deleteeyetvrecording() and the said error log comes from there.
As far as I can tell, you should not assume that you can always coerce theErroObject (that is obtained from 'from' parameter of 'on error' statement) to text.
Too little information to go any further.

Need help in creating script for "Task Schedule" in Oracle E-Bussiness Suit

Hi,
I need some urgent help regarding the scripting of Oracle E-Business Suite application. I am new towards working on Oracle Applications. I have been using LoadRunner 11.0 and protocol oracle applications 11i for the scripting of the application. The problem is as follows:
Scenario- Schedule an incident to a resource.
1) Log in to the application.
2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
3) Enter the details of the incident number.
4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
6) Click on “schedule” Button.
7) Exit the oracle forms.
8) Logout from the application.
I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya Mukherjee

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Try displaying the message for te field you wish to within CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which will allow you to enter the data in the field even after the error message is displayed.
Caution: Mention all the field names in CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which you want to be open for enterin the values into it.

My MacBook (10.5.8) is very slow and has significant problems loading will Snow Leopard (10.6.3) help or make my computer slower?
Also why does my Macbook make so much noise (The noise concerns me because it is so loud it sounds like the laptop will break down or something at any point)?

It depends on your Macbook model how to open the bottom case.
Anyway you need to open up the buttom case or keyboard panel to access the CPU fan like following.

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style. I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
- in a chosen story;
- on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
- in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
If story...
You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
so:
Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
//==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
If other cases...
You would need to be more accurate.

Need help writing a script

I am trying to convert my prcess from DTS to SSIS. I am running this report out of SAP and then using Monarch to put into the correct form, then I am using the DTS to put it into the database on the SQL server. I am able to get all the other info to
move out having so much trouble here to get the plant number. The issuse is that it is on top on the page and it will change when a new plant is needed.
Thanks for any help
I need help wrting a script that will put that 7010 into a cloumn nnamed plant number.

To convert from DTS packages to SSIS you can just open the DTS package in a new SSIS project (depends on target SSIS version by using SSDT or BIDS).
The rest is mechanics how the iteration with SAP is done and may be beyond the scope of this forum.

     "Actual" = "Actual" + "Actual"->"Opening Inventory" / "Actual"->"Additions" * "Actual"->"Ending Inventory" ;
ENDFIXDon't focus on why you would never ever want to do the above with inventory, just look at the code.
The code does work.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum! You'll find that there are many qualified people (such as Tubby) willing to help you. Will you do what you can to help them? In order to simplify the query you posted,someone will first have to understand what it does, what the tables that it uses are like, and what tools you have to work with (that is, what version of Oracle, and any other software you are using). To actually test their ideas, people will need versions of your tables.
Many people, if they spent enough time, might be able to figure out roughly what you are doing, make some tables themselves and test a solution. You can help with all of that. I assume you already know what the appliction is, and what this particular query is supposed to do: you don't have to figure out any of that, you just have to say it. You know what all your tables are, what the datatypes of all the columns are, and what kinds of data are in the tables: you don't have to guess at any of that.
Describe what you're doing. Think about it: how do we know that
SELECT NULL
FROM dual;doesn't do what you want?
Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data.
Post the results that this query is supposed to produce from those results. (Is it producing the right output now? Then it should be easy to post the correct results.)
Describe, as well as you can, how the present query is doing it.
Format your existing code, so it's easy to see what the different branches of the UNION are, and what the main clauses are in each one.
When posting formatted text (code or results) type these 6 characters
\(all small letters, inside curly brackets) before and after each formatted section, to keep this site from compressing the spaces.
Say what versions of Oracle (e.g. 10.2.0.3.0) and any other relevant software you are using.
I know it's a lot of work, but it really helps. You can do it as well (probably better) than anyone else, and if you're unwilling to do it, why should anyone else be willing?

When extending my wifi network using an Extreme as my main and an Express to extend.. does it help to make sure that both devices are on the same channel or does it even make a difference if they are on different channels?

when extending my wifi network using an Extreme as my main and an Express to extend.. does it help to make sure that both devices are on the same channel or does it even make a difference if they are on different channels?

Have you even tried the process in which i have described in my previous post?
Yes, many times. If you are setup to "extend a wireless network, the screen looks like this:
If you click the Wireless Options button, the screen looks like this:
Where is it on this screen that you see a setting to adjust the channel? It sounds like you are confusing "create a wireless network"....which does allow you to adjust channels.....with "exend a wireless network" which does not.
Normally, when you extend a wireless network, AirPort Utility used to always assign the same channel to the extending device. That is no longer the case. It might be the same, or it might be different. You have no control over this, so you have to accept what AirPort Utility thinks is best.
