How can I Create an individual MD5 file for each folder in a main directory?

The specs for a file delivery I'm making require an individual MD5 file per folder, with the contents of that folder being inside the MD5 file. Such as:
DAY_01 (MAIN FOLDER)
A01
-(files 1-1000)
-md5 for files 1-1000
A02
-files 1001-2000
-md5 for files 1001-2000
And so on. Is there a script or program that can make those MD5 files automatically or do I hace to go and do each one individually? Thanks

I don't know of any pre-existing solution to your question, but it isn't hard to write one:
set theFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "System Events"
          set subfolders to every folder of theFolder
          repeat with eachFolder in subfolders
                    set fPath to (POSIX path of eachFolder)
                    set fName to name of eachFolder
                    set md5Filename to quoted form of (fName & ".md5")
                    do shell script "cd " & quoted form of fPath & "; /sbin/md5 * > " & md5Filename
          end repeat
end tell
The idea here is that it asks for a folder to process. It then grabs a list of all the folders inside that folder (subfolders), then for each subfolder it extracts its POSIX path and the folder name, then it builds a shell command that actually goes to each folder, runs the md5 command (passing in all files), writing the output to a .md5 file named according to the folder.

Create a Blank Text file if it does not exist in a Given Directory

Hi,
I would like to check if text file in a given folder exists or not if not then create a blank text file in a given directory. I was checking File system task, it has options to create directory and move files, copy files but not creating files.
How can I create a blank text file in a given directory in SSIS using script task or any other way.
Many thanks.

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module? I can not create a text file and read it.
I attach my code here.

File_IO.vi ‏82 KB

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

please tell me how and where to use it..How? -- See the IO Tutorials on Sun for the FileReader (and I assume you know how to call setText and append in the JTextArea).
Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.

HOW CAN I CREATE A TEMPORARY .TXT FILE

Use the Forms 6i Help to check out the TEXT_IO package. There are examples that will easily guide you to what you need.
I've used this package extensively and it works as advertised.

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

How do I create an after effects file with an interchangeable image

Hey,
hope someone can help me, I'm using after effects to create a mp4 file, it contains a photo which has a animation super imposed ontop of it.
When the projects finished the base photo that the animation is created around could change up three times a day.
What I'm trying to work out is a way for a non technical user to just be able to upload the new photo to somewhere and for the animation to be created and returned somehow to him so that the animator doesn't have to re open and edit the affect effect project each time a new photo comes in.
Is there a way to do this built into after effects does any one know?
Thanks for any help

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs? Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community? The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable.. I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
Thank you.
Sherrie

Hi Sherrie L,
Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
Best,
Sara

In Adobe 8 how do you create a bates log file?

I love this feature in Adobe 9 where one can select "output options" and change the way the bates stamped PDF is saved, to create a log file of bates numbers per document, etc. Are these same output options and bates log file options available in Adobe 8? Basically, how do I create a bates log file in Adobe 8?

This is a great utility---thanks for sharing it! The Javascripts folder can be hard to find--here's what worked for me:
For Macbook Pro users using Acrobat Pro X with OS X version 10 or greater, you’ll want to copy the unzipped “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” file into the JavaScripts folder located in this path:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts
*** IMPORTANT: To be able to see the Contents folder, you must Right-Click (Ctrl-Click if you don't have a right button) on the filename "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app", then select Show Package Contents from the pop-down menu. The Contents folder will appear in a new window and you can navigate to Contents/Resources/JavaScripts, and put the “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” into the JavaScripts folder.
Once you've done that, restart Acrobat Pro and you'll find the "Flatten" option in your Edit menu. VERY handy! Tip: might want to save your original PDF file as a different version just to be safe---once you flatten the PDF, it can't be undone, so either just print and don't save, or save as different version if need be.

How do your create an xml glossary file?

Everyone talks about importing the glossary from an xml file , even from one created from Excel. I have browsed until my fingers bleed and watched the tutorials and seached the Captivate files to try and find a glossary root file to work with.
Please excuse my Newb question but how to I create an xml file, specially using Excel (the easiest way for me to set up a Glossary)? Is there an example I can work off? How do I paste the import xml tags as offered in the widgit to such a file.
This glosary file will be imported and used in to approximately 40 modules so obviously I want just one file to work with.
Again sorry for the newb question.

Hi Jeremia,
From one newb to another ;o)
I ditched the whole thing as soon as I figured it out because putting the glossary in to the captivate slides was really clunky and not a neat solution. Instead we are using our custom written background database and having a glossary link in the main navigation menu, a luxury many captivate scorm projects would not have.
However the spreadsheet is a way of writing all the tags needed for the xml code (fill down). Just highlight ALL the cells with all the tags as per the screen shot, copy and then paste in the open dreamweaver page. However, make sure the dreamweaver page is an xml page. You can then use the xml dreamwever page as the import in to captivate.
Because you are copying from a spreadsheet the paste action in dreamweaver will insert tabs between the data of the cell. You get rid of this by doing a search and replace...search for the tab and replace with nothing, effectively deleting the unwanted tabs.
It is highly inelegant but it works.
Hope this helps and does not confuse it further.

Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported.
These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.
