How can I get the exact pathname for a file on my computer?

I need to enter a command in Terminal that contains the pathname of an application. I know what the path is but Terminal does not recognize it. How do I make sure the pathname is in the correct form?

Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app

  • How can i get the exact Range of  codePoints of every UnicodeScript(Block)?

    hello dear all,
    this problem has puzzled me for a long time.
    how can i get the exact Range of codePoints of every UnicodeScript(Latin,Han,.....) or UnicodeBlock(Basic_Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Linear B,......)?
    so that i can do some iterations to display the Unicode Mapping (like the Windows Unicode Mapping tool in Start\all Programs\Accesories\System tools\Unicode Mapping.)
    i only know that the property(Script, Block, Age....whatever) of a codePoint can be known through the methods:
    UScript.getScript(0x21) ........==>Latin
    but how can i get the Range of Latin as follows:
    0041..005A    ; Latin # L&  [26] LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A..LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z
    0061..007A    ; Latin # L&  [26] LATIN SMALL LETTER A..LATIN SMALL LETTER Z

    does anyone know?
    thanks in advance

    Core Java APIs don't have the ability to give your a code point range for a specific UnicodeBlock. You can, however, iterate through code points to generate the range...not particularly efficient. However, you'd only have to do this once. Alternatively, you can parse the Unicode file that defines the blocks. I can also imagine a very simple class that you could provide yourself. I think that providing the range seems like a reasonable enhancement to the core apis...you might consider submitting an Request for Enhancement (RFE).

  • How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session

    Hi ,
    How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session?
    Example - I have a report based on the procedure ,when the user execute that it takes say 3 min. to return rows.
    Is there any possible way to capture this session info. for this particular execution of query along with it's execution elapse time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
    1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
    v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    2/ Run you procedure...
    3/ Get end-time with :
    v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
    v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
    This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
    Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I get the serial number for Premiere 11?

  • How can I get the serial number for registration and instalation?

    Hello ,How can I get the serial number for registration and instalation?

    contact your local sales representative.
    You don't need a serial number to install LabVIEW.
    Registration is optional.
    Activation is needed after the evaluation period.
    Install it without number and it will work for a limited time (30days?) in evaluation mode, giving you plenty of time to decide if you want to buy it.
    Check the license manager to see the activation status of everything installed.

    How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.
