How can I repeat a command?

I am using Ai3.
I am doing a lot of "path simplify" and every time I have to go to "object" then "path" then "path simplify".
I have been searching if there is like in autocad a key to press to do "repeat las action" but I only found 2 things that I dont really understand:
- Ctrl + D (must be for st else)
- somethnig called "actions", if I understand correctly it is to create a group of commands, this could be interesting but it should be next to the "pathfinder" screen but there I have nothing...
strange,
somebody to help?
Thanks, Danke

Make a feature request.
Illustrator and in general many Adobe products are lacking considerably with repeated tasks. The number of hotkeys available is limited to using Function keys and a lot of them are already assigned by default to frequently used tasks. Also, often users need to repeat a task frequently in one or a few sessions but not every day on a regular bases which doesn't justify creating an action and occupying a hotkey that is easy to forget if not used daily. Nowadays production programs are brimming with features and there are a lot of excellent solutions already invented and used by may programs but unfortunately Illustrator is not one of them. Here are some examples of excellent solutions:
a hotkey for the last menu command selected
a hotkey for the previous tool selected (for example while using the Sheer Tool on existing objects, you want to draw a box and quickly go back to the Sheer Tool)
list of recently used menu commands panel
tearoff menus similar to the existing tearoff toolbars (imagine it was possible when you go to Object > Paths be able to tear off the Paths submenu so it remains like a panel and you can click on any of the commands of this submenu without digging through the menus again and again)

How can I repeat a for loop, once it's terms has been fulfilled???

Well.. I've posted 2 different exceptions about this game today, but I managed to fix them all by myself, but now I'm facing another problem, which is NOT an error, but just a regular question.. HOW CAN I REPEAT A FOR LOOP ONCE IT HAS FULFILLED IT'S TERMS OF RUNNING?!
I've been trying many different things, AND, the 'continue' statement too, and I honestly think that what it takes IS a continue statement, BUT I don't know how to use it so that it does what I want it too.. -.-'
Anyway.. Enought chit-chat. I have a nice functional game running that maximum allows 3 apples in the air in the same time.. But now my question is: How can I make it create 3 more appels once the 3 first onces has either been catched or fallen out the screen..?
Here's my COMPLETE sourcecode, so if you know just a little bit of Java you should be able to figure it out, and hopefully you'll be able to tell me what to do now, to make it repeat my for loop:

How can I repeat my flash animation (my frames)?

Hi Flash forum members
Can you help me somebody: How can I repeat my flash animation (my frames) many times?
I will be looking forward to hearing from you,
Sultan

It depends on what you mean and how your design is done.
You can copy and paste frames as many times along a timeline as you, though creating a movieclip of one set and placing that to extend the full length of the timeline would produce the same result.
If the problem is that your animation stops when it is done, you need to be sure to not have any code in place that will stop it.

How can I repeat the same program automatically with a time-plan?

Hello Everyone,
I have a question here.
I want to start the same program more time, but I would like to define the number of repetitions and time delay between each repetition with a dialog windows.How can I do that?
e.g. I want to repeated the same program for 4 times, first time this program will be started by press "Start", second time it will be started in 10 seconds after the first start, the third time it will be started in 16 seconds after the first start and last time ist in 30 seconds after the first start.
With which node can I do that?

How can i call shell command in JSP?

can i call shell command , such as gcc or setup,
If yes, how can i? Would you give a source example?
Thank you!

Hi,
I did this simple class to launch a process and after the cose there is an example to use it:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ProcessExec {
private String[] command;
private StreamGobbler errorGobbler;
private StreamGobbler outputGobbler;
public ProcessExec() {
public ProcessExec ( String[] command) {
this.command = command;
this.errorGobbler = null;
this.outputGobbler = null;
public String[] getCommand() {
return ( this.command );
public void setCommand( String[] command ) {
this.command = command;
public void exec() {
try{
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(this.command);
// any error message?
errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
}catch (Throwable t){
t.printStackTrace();
}//catch
public String getErrorMessage() {
while ( this.errorGobbler.isAlive() ) {;}
return ( this.errorGobbler.getResult().toString() );
public String getOutputMessage() {
while ( this.outputGobbler.isAlive() ) {;}
return ( this.outputGobbler.getResult().toString() );
} // ProcessExec
Example to use it:
try {
ProcessExec pe = new ProcessExec( command );
pe.exec();
errorMessage = pe.getErrorMessage();
outputMessage = pe.getOutputMessage();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.out.println (e);
As you can guess the string "command" must be the command you have to launch and errorMessage and outputMessage will contain the error and the output that the process will generate.
Try it; i hope this will help you.
Cheers.

Please help How can i run Os commands thru Java programs

Hey,
I want to stop and restart the linux server thru java program.Is it possible to run the os commands thru java program.
I had it thru Runtime.getRuntime().exec("*.exe");
it only runs the exe files.How can run files other than exe files like .bat,com ans shell commands..Any body knows please help with the code..or mail to this address
[email protected]
thankyou,
regards,
j.mouli

What about "start command.com /C execute.bat", or using the overload that takes a String[] as argument?
What if you use the the full path of execute.bat?
What error code do you get?
And what comes th linux, I'm not sure... you'll need a shell interpreter there too, me thinks. (never had to run anything with runtime.exec on linux). Check the man pages if csh, bash, ksh, or what ever shell you like.

How do I repeat a command in numbers?

Excel has the capability to repeat and undo a command. It appears Numbers can only undo a command (CMD-z). Does Numbers have the capbility to repeat a command?

Undo applies to (almost) any action, not just commands.
Its opposite, Re-do (shift-command-Z) applies only to something that has been Undone.
Numbers has no equivalent to Excel's Repeat feature.
Feature enhancement request may be made via Provide Numbers Feedback, found in the Numbers menu.

Barry

How can I repeat the order?

I have a form with some options which the user must choose. That done, he must repeat the process "as a kind of basket button", how can I do this?

Formscentral doesn't support dynamically repeating fields, therefore you need to create the repeated field as many times as you think the users will need during the form design process. You can then set up skip logic to allow them to skip all of the repeated fields they don't need. If dynamically repeated fields are a requirement for your application you would be better off looking into Adobe Livecycle for a solution.

Please, how can i repeat?

Dear Apple users,
i have an important and urgent question about arrange audio with video (Final Cut Pro) in Soundtrack.
1) I have created a sequence in Final Cut HD and i have sent sequence >> to Soundtrack Pro, ok? It's correct this workflow?
2) In SoundTrack Pro (like Avid) i wan't to repeate a little bit of an audio track (like a drum in end of a song) smoothly (expanding track, repeating a little part of this audio with no simple and orrible cut and paste?
3) Can i return back to Final Cut with a project arrange in Soundtrack Pro?
How can i do or what do you suggest to me?

Does that happen when you use the Back button? If so, don't use the Back button, right-click or click-hold that Back button and use the Back / Forward history menu that appears to load the previous page from that menu. That should avoid the appearance of that security warning message, which can't be turned off. If that is happening on web pages that don't involve financial transactions, that website really should be fixed so that security message doesn't appear.

How can I use unix commands from oracle report

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.
