How can i use automator to change my browsers home page

Hello there,
I am a junior web developer currently using a macbook, i have wamp server installed on my machine for testing the code that i produce.
Currently i have 2 browsers on my machine firefox and safari. I would like to create a script that would change my homepage to localhost only when wamp server is running. I am guessing this can be done with automator but i just don't know how.
If anyone has any ideas that would be sweet!
Peace

If the files are in one folder, I'd change them with TextWrangler.
First, copy the folder with the 12-point files. Work on the copy folder.
Open TW
Search > Multi-File Search …
--Find: fs24 (i.e., an RTF code that indicates a 12-point font)
--Replace: fs48 (i.e., an RTF code that indicates a 24-point font)
--Search in: Other: (target the copy folder)
--Replace All
Follow the dialog to Find & Replace All Matches:
--Save to disk
(There's no need to use the options to Leave open, Confirm before saving, or Show results.)
--Proceed
Quick and dirty but ought to work unless you actually use the string "fs24" somewhere in a document--and if you do, you do still have the original 12-point files.

How can i use dsadm to change the ldap port?

I have a ldap with port 1389,I changed it to 389,now I can not start it because it is a non root user.
Now I want to change the port back to 1389,but I can not use dsconf because the server is not running.
How can i do now? How can i use dsadm to change the port?
Thank u very much.

My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude/impolite.
I just wanted to emphasize that in a situation where a Directory Server doesn't even start, you cannot interact with the live server to configure the new port (either talking LDAP or otherwise). All you can do in that case won't be related with the LDAP (that's just the name of the protocol): either assigning network privileges to the user, or changing the Directory Server configuration file.
The other thing I'd like to outline (and this could take a separate thread ;-) ), is that semantically, I'd prefer talking of a Directory Server instead of an LDAP Server because the former is 'something' providing Directory Services, whereas the latter is just the name of the protocol we use to interact with the server; but this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
that's all folks!

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE memory (+ 68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA memory (+ 59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
# CSV spec
# - record separator is CRLF
# - field separator is comma
# - every field is quoted
# - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012); # CRLF
local $, = qq(,); # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
 my $f = shift @ff; # file path
 if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
 warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
 next;
 $f =~ s%^.*/%%og; # file name
 @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
 while (<IN>) {
 chomp;
 $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
 ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
 ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;
 ($dd[4] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of XDATA\\s/o;
 ($dd[5] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of FARCODE\\s/o;
 last unless grep { /^$/ } @dd;
 close IN;
 print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
EOF

How Can I know about any change happened in the page??

........... I Use JDev 11g ........
How Can I know if any change happened in the page???
for example:
I have a page and I press a creation button that create a new row in view object I want when I press any button that will call another page the page ask a user Are you want to save changes? before leaving a page.
Or
I edit the value in a view object but not committed ( I didn't commit the data in database ) . When I want to leave the page I want to display a message say : Are you want to save changes?
How can I do that?
Thank You...
Sameh Nassar

Check out http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html Example 60. Do not go by the 'on page load' name... This approach will allow you to plug in your custom code at any 'phase' of your adf life cycle. You can capture any request coming from your page, and check for pending transaction states and act accordingly.. I realize that the reply is a little abstruse, but this is not a drag-drop-smile requirement.. :-)

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia

How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them. Finish by tapping the home button.

How can I use automator to import a .csv file into a an excel file

I would still like all the import settings that I get if I am using excel to do the process, i.e. going in with the text format instead of the general format. That way my dates don't change

You'll need to use Applescript in Automator.
Note: File extension cannot be CSV (Excel will assume that the file is comma separated), so add an action to copy or rename with extension TXT.
(You can rename back at end of Workflow is needed)
The Applescript Action is:
on run {input, parameters}
     repeat with f in input
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
          end tell
      end repeat
      eturn input
end run
NOTE: This is formating the 1st col to text
If you need to format the second, then you need to:
open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, general format}, {2, text format}} other char "|" with use other
(You'll need to list the 1st col, 2nd col, etc until you get to the col to format as text). Formats are (from the Applescript Excel Library):
[field info list] : A list contain parse information for the individual columns of data.
Formats are general format, text format, MDY format, DMY format, YMD format, MYD format, DYM format, YDM format, skip column.
Or you can skip using Automator and just use an Applescript App (this is a droplet, just drop the files on the icon, or click to choose files):
on run
     set fs to choose file with prompt "Select one or more files to open:" default location alias (the path to desktop folder as text) with multiple selections allowed
     proceed(fs)
end run
on open fs
     proceed(fs)
end open
on proceed(fs)
     repeat with f in fs
          tell application "Microsoft Excel"
               open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
           end tell
      end repeat
end proceed

You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

How can I use automator to open terminal change directory run a python script?

Hi all,
I dont really ever use automator - which may be my big problem - and I am trying to make an apllication that seems fairly simple in theroy. I want something that will lunch terminal, cd to the place where my python script lives and then run it. I have tried a number of suggested ways and can get the terminal to open and the directory to change but cant figure out how to run the script. This is my workflow if i did it manually each time
- open terminal
- type cd "the place where my file lives"
- type python uploadr.py -d
I can get terminal to open then cd to the right place but cant get the "python uploadr.py -d" to run without an error.
any help would be very appricated
thanks!!!

(i know this is a number place but I couldn't find any excel seciton sorry guys...)

now it only does one file at a time, whereas I would like to do multiple files simultaneously.
If you try a search for "loop Automator" and also "folder actions" you may find some usable pointers on how to do that. The first example on this page looks promising.

How can I use Automator to search only in folders whose name contains a certain word?

I'm very new to Automator. What I am trying to accomplish is this:
I am using Transmit as my FTP client. I have mounted a server as a disk to my desktop. I am using Automator to try and search this server and open files whose path contains the word "mobile", then open files with the name "order.php" with my HTML editor. There are hundreds other files on this server that have the name "order.php", so I just want to target the ones found in paths with the name "mobile" applied.
Where I get stuck is the "search only in paths that contain the word 'mobile' ".
Please advise.
Thanks.

How can i Use the symbols from the main html page?

Hello!
Im trying to find a solution for days!!
i need to use my symbols from the html page, for example to hide the symbol i want to use: sym.$( "sym1" ).hide(); or to make it draggable (with jquery UI) i wanna use: sym.$( "sym1" ).draggable(); but it doesn't work.
i know i can do the same from the edgeActions.js file and here is the working code:
 Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "document", "compositionReady", function(sym, e) {
 var ex1 = sym.$( "farmer" );
 //ex1.html( '<input type="text" />' );
 yepnope({
 both: [
 "libs/jquery-ui.min.js",
 "libs/jquery-ui.css",
 callback: function() {
 ( ex1 ).draggable();
but the main problem is that it's always include this file as the very last .js, so in case Im trying to use the symbols from the index.html page (For example: ( ex1 ).draggable(); ) the variables are undefined (because it read the html first)...
Please Help, Im desperate..
Thank you very much!!!

Hi, Eran-
You will want to use the AdobeEdge.* APIs, which should give you access from external JavaScript into your Edge Animation. The API document has information on that. However, you will need to wait until the runtime loads, so you should use the bootstrapping method that is outlined in Josh Hatwich's post on our blog:

Hope that helps!

How can I get Firefox to go directly to home page and not to how to syn page as I do not want to syn anything

whenever I now go to mozilla firefox, it opens the whats new, or how to syn ? I don't have anything to sync, just want to go to the Home page I selected

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

How can I create a working link from the home page to other pages?

Using iWeb, I created links on the Home page directed to other pages within my web site. The links are located in the main body of the Home page (on the right side) and are not included in the Navigation Menu. The links function correctly when I test them in iWeb, however, the links do not function at all after publishing to the internet.
Within the inspector, I have chosen, Link To: "One of my pages" and the appropriate page is selected.
The links within the gray rectangles do not function. The same links below the gray rectangle links go to a "Page Not Found" page.
See the home page at http://www.daleenstrom.com
How can I make these links function correctly?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've found that using the "One of my pages" often doesn't work. Since you've published the site go to each page, copy its URL and use it for the hyperlink. I've found that to me more reliable.
Are those two links inside the shapes or just on top? Both of those items are one large image file. If you inserted the link in the shape be sure you've selected the text (might take a few clicks to get inside and select it) to use for the hyperlink. Also make sure there are no other objects overlapping each of the shaped with the hyperlinked text.
Also it appears that the entire text box is an image. Turn on iWeb's preferences to display the text image indicator:
Click to view full size
and then you'll see the following on any object that will be converted to text once published:
Click to view full size
The two links below work for me. Be sure to clear your browsers cache (CommandOptionE for Safari) and reload the page.

How can I put Google Search on my default home page?

When I was using 3.6 because of the add-ons available that are not on 6 my beginning page always started with Google Search. Now that I've upgraded to 6.02 all I get is a blank page at startup! And I cannot seem to change that in the "Tools/General/Home page site!!!

What is the startup setting?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"
Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it that is used when the home page setting is blank. 
You can set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions.
