How can I generate a text list of the library?

I'd like to know how to generate a simple
Artist - Album
text list of my iTunes library.
I'm curious why this hasn't already been added as a feature?
The export library command is not what I'm looking for. I just want something that generates a .txt without all the XML mumbo jumbo.
Thanks for the help.

I like that!
And if you want tab delimiters and column headings, you can do this:
tell application "iTunes"
     set the_output to "TITLE" & tab & "ARTIST" & tab & "ALBUM" & return & return
     --set counter to 0
     repeat with this_track in every track of playlist "Music"
          --set counter to counter + 1
          --if counter = 50 then exit repeat
          tell this_track
               set the_output to the_output & name & tab & artist & tab & album & return
          end tell
     end repeat
     return the_output
end tell
If the library is big, it takes forever to collect the text, but you can try it out on just the first 50 tracks by un-commenting (or deleting) all the "counter" lines I added.
It would be nice to have it write directly to an untitled TextEdit document (especially if there's a lot of text to copy/paste), but I'm a beginner with AppleScript so I don't know how or if it's even possible.

I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?
I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.

Hello Kencrews,
When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.

How can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

how can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

Oscar, keep in mind that my suggestion could not be the best one.
I have a copy of Nokia suite on my Windows XP partition on my Mac, just to test it.
The second icon on the upper row explains as a syncronisation with Outlook.
Try to do it and later you should use the iClod manager from Apple and Sync Outlook to ìiClod and to any iPhone iPod and so on.

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

How can I get a printable list of the web sites in a tab showing both the name of the site and it's location?

I use tab groups for specific projects and would like to print/save a list of the websites used on each project. Using the list function on a tab group produces a list of the web-sites which can be printed/saved via PrtSc and Word. How can the web-site addresses be included? With this list available I would then close the tabs.

Someone might have created an add-on for this, although I didn't find one in a search.
Could I suggest this workaround for now:
(1) Use the Bookmark All Tabs feature (right-click a tab when your tab group is displayed) to save all tabs to a new folder on the bookmarks menu. Some tips in the "How do I bookmark all of my open tabs?" section of this article: [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]].
(2) Export bookmarks to an HTML file. Unfortunately, this will be all bookmarks, not just the ones you want, but hang in there. This article has the steps: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]].
(3) Open the exported HTML file in Firefox or your favorite WP program. Now you can either:
(A) Copy/paste the live links for your tab group into your preferred form of archival storage. Or
(B) Print (e.g., select the relevant bookmarks and use the Print Selection feature). However, in order to show the URLs, you need to hack the page a little bit.
(i) In Firefox, you can run a little script in the Web Console on the bookmarks page. Press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console. Copy the following line of script, then paste it next to the caret (">") in the web console and press Enter. The URLs should appear after the links.
for(var i=0; i<document.links.length; i++) {document.links[i].parentNode.appendChild(document.createTextNode(' ['+document.links[i].href+']'))}
(ii) In Word, there probably is a macro to split the hyperlink fields into the display text and URL. If Word is your preferred tool, I'll see whether I can write one.

How Can I generate 2 different WaveForm in the same time

Hello,
I use a NI 6733 card and measurement studio 8 with MFC class.
I would like to generate 2 different waveform in the same time on 2 diffrent analog output channel.
I would like to know how can i do that bescause I succeed to generate one wafeform on one channel but not the second.
I would like to create 2 task one per analog output channel and waveform and launch the task in the same time.
I use the buffer FIFO and I think I have a probleme to share the buffer between the to different channel.
thank you for your attention.

Hello,
This corresponds of the third case detailed in this KnowledgeBase. You have to use one task with two channel, and feed it with your two independant waveforms (at the same sampling rate).
Cordially,
.mrLeft{float:left} .mrInfo{border-left:solid 1px #989898;font-size:x-small;color:#989898}

How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
Thanks

Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

How can I generate a reusable list of hyperlinks to apply to new documents?

I have a list of hyperlinks I add to a document each month. I apply advertisers web addresses to their ads in a monthly magazine and the position of the ads vary. I need an easy way to reuse and apply these hyperlinks to frames containing the imported ad every month. I don't want to retype them each new issue. If it would be better achieved in Acrobat that would work, too. I currently do it in Acrobat and draw a border around each add, typing in the hyperlink anew each month. There has got to be an easier way!
thanks!

the other thing I should mention is that we use a publishing plugin that
inserts the pages with the linked ads on them every month. So the frames
with the ads imported into them are created anew each month. Otherwise, I
could use the same document month to month and just relink the ads & resize
them when necessary, keeping the hyperlinks intact.

How can I get an Infoprovider list via the BI XML/A SOAP interface?

I have a followup question for this as well. Currently with xMII we are using the XML/A SOAP interface to query against remote enabled queries in BI. Is it possible through this interface to request a list of InfoProviders? I know that through MDXTEST in SAP GUI there is a list of providers there but is that available through the XMLA interface? The BAPI that I found that will do this is BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_CUBES with the CAT_NAME value set to $INFOCUBE. This name/description value set is what I am looking for.

Sorry about that. I had the link ready to paste but neglected to do so: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/getting-external-data-into-acrobat-x-javascript
The idea is that you can read in data from an external or attached file, but it will need to be a different format such as XML, tab-delimited text, or CSV, which can all be exported from a spreadsheet.

How can I align a text object by the visible text and NOT by its bounding box?

Illustrator CS4.
I am trying to align some text to the center of the artboard. The bounding box is bigger than the text, so when I try to align it to the artboard it doesn't actually center align the artwork as I need it to. The text is needing to be aligned with another text object, so I can't just center align the text and then align to the artboard (which would eliminate the bounding box problem, I think). To make matters worse, the text I want to align has a stroke.
The only way I know to currently align the text properly is to convert it to outlines. This is what I've done, but I need something better. I want to be able to have my illustrator file that has all editable text and then be able to make a separate identical file with all text converted to outlined paths. The only thing holding me back right now is that I can't get the exact alignment while everything is still as text.

The solution is to simple to believe and probably why you over looked it.
You make two text frames to exactly the height and width of the text. You position the text in the relative location and then group the text frames then center that group on the artboard.
Like such:
If you ever want to add text that should be no problem but you have to re center.

How can I read a text file inside the .xsjs?

I need to read line by line of a text file just like FileReader and BufferedReader in Java. It contains a script SQL to insert data in my DB. Can I use some API?

There is no API that allows you to access the file system of the server in XSJS. You would need to upload the file from the client side and it will appear as a array buffer in the request object. From there you can convert the array buffer to a string and process however you like.
For example:
var content = "";
    content = $.request.body.asArrayBuffer();
    var array = new Uint8Array(content);
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null,array),
         decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(encodedString));
        content = decodedString;
    var lines = content.split(/\r\n|\n/);

How can I add applications not listed in the root Applications folder?

I'm running in a non-administrative (i.e. not the first) user account, I have my own Applications folder with apps that I have downloaded and installed myself. Is it possible to add these apps to the list in Automator?

I believe he was answering what you were implying by implying that Automator would automatically be aware of the actions once you've used the application.
If it doesn't have any actions, then the app won't show up in Automator. If you've downloaded actions for an app separate from it, you can add the actions using an option in Automator's File menu. More about that here.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Automator/1.0/en/ensm1010.html
Just to be clear, it shouldn't matter where the app is installed, just make sure you've used the app so the system will know about more about the app. The same thing goes for Spotlight, file types, services (application menu > Services), and so on. It shouldn't matter where the app is located, the system will discover what the app has available when you open that app.
If you believe an app should have Automator actions, then review the website of the developer of that app for info about what the actions are and whether they made them separate from the app for some reason. Another possibility is the actions might be available only in certain versions of the app you've installed. Definitely check the the app's developer's website for info about its actions.
