How do I locate the longest line in an InDesign document?

Is there a script that locates the longest line in an InDesign document?

Hi Duke;
The following is something quick and dirty that looks at the number of characters in a line only. This ignores what the others were saying in regards to 'physical space' which may include kerning, scaling, character widths etc, and it only looks at 1 text frame so you might have to expand on it if you want to do a whole document.
var myLines = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item(0).lines;
var myLongestLine = 0;
var myLongestLineGroup = "";
for (var i = 0; i < myLines.length; i++) {
    if (myLines[i].characters.length === myLongestLine) {
        myLongestLineGroup += "Line - " + i + "\u000D";
    else if (myLines[i].characters.length > myLongestLine) {
        myLongestLine = myLines[i].characters.length;
        myLongestLineGroup = "Line - " + i + "\u000D";
$.write("The longest lines are: \u000D" + myLongestLineGroup + "With " + myLongestLine + " characters including white spaces and breaks.\u000D");
If you were after the physical space of a line then another couple of steps would be required. This can be problematic thought especially if the text is not forced to a fixed word, letter and glyph scaling as these paragraph style values can dramatically change the outcome (the default paragraph style has a 80% minimum word spacing by the way so it might cause variations in the result).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

How Do I Configure the PFI Lines as input in PXI 6713 module

Hi,
I have PXI 6713 module in my PXI 1044 chassis. I have configured PXI 6713 module to geneate certain analogue signals to my board.
Board inturn process this analogue signal and responds back the status signals through a status register on the board. In my application,the status bits in status register of the board are mapped to the PFI 0:3 bits on PXI 6713 module ( pins 11,10 , 42 and 43).
My query is how do i configue the PFI lines as input in PXI 6713 module to read these status bits ??
May be below explanation could give you little bit more information w.r.to my query.
When i use NI USB - 6008 module to read the same bits , since this device has 12 digital I/O lines, i could able to read the status bits in to the last 4 digital lines by configuring the those digital lines as input.
In PXI 6713 module i have only 8 digital lines. These 8 digital lines i have used to send the digital signals to the board. I am left with no digital I/O lines. Hence i couldn't use these digital lines. I am left with only one option to use. Theya re PFI lines. Moreover the status bits in the pin out of board are mapped such that the bits can be read through the PFI lines.
I am wondering do we have any example code to use inorder to read these status bits on the board using the PFI lines.
Please let me know if you need additional information to help me out.
Thanks.
Solved!

Hello There,
When using the PFI pin as an input, you can individually configure each PFI for edge or level detection and for polarity selection. This PFI information can be referenced in the DAQ Analog Output Series Manual on page 6-1 (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370735e.pdf). Unfortunately, the PXI-6713 PFI lines are only capable of timing input and output signal for AI, AO, or counter/timer functions. The option of creating static DI from the PFI lines is not available for the PXI-6713. However, some cards have this capability. Newer National Instruments products with PFI lines have the option of setting PFI lines as:
Static Digital Input
Static Digital Output
Timing Input Signal for AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
Timing Output Signal from AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
(http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/14F20D79C649F8CD86256FBE005C2BC4)
When set as static DIO, the PFI lines are assigned to a different port (eg. PFI0-7 is Port1). More details about this can be referenced at:

How can I set the default line height?

Greetings,
I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn
    Happy
    Sad
    angry
There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
So the output would look like this:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn            (mild)
    Happy
    Sad                      (moderate)
    angry
The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field. I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines", however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally. So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Kevin

I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
If you have this...
Behavior Observed:     Severity:
Withdrawn          (mild)
Happy
Sad               (moderate)
angry
But want it to look like this...
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
{TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

it seems to be you are NEW to SDN. welcome. if you want to get solutions to your Questions, you have to post a NEW thread.dont use the existing thread to post your question.
any way i am giving you the solution for your question
LOOP AT ITAB WHERE F1 = <SOME VALUE>
F2 = <SOME VALUE>.
ENDLOOP.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ITAB WILL HAVE THE LAST RECORD which satisfying the given criteria in WHERE clause of LOOP.
write itab <--this ITAB will have the last record.
ENDIF.

How can i locate the resource file in the weblogic?

hello
in struts, i can leave some parameter in a resource file (such as "Application.properties")outside of my code,and get them in the "Action" class by the "getResource" method.
in my data access tier,i still want to use such a machanism but i can't use the "getResource()" method,for example,there is a ConnectionPool class,i want to read some parameters from a resource file ("param.properties") that is under the same directory as the ConnectionPool class,the following is the code snippet:
public static void init(DataSource ds){
myself=new ConnectionPool(ds);
java.util.Properties prop=new java.util.Properties();
try{
java.io.FileInputStream fin=new java.io.FileInputStream("./param.properties");
prop.load(fin);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(prop.get("help.create"));
the "ConnectionPool" class is in the "com.jhtop.task.forum.db.util" package,the "param.properties" is in the same package (com.jhtop.task.forum.db.util),
but when i execute the program,it tell me that it can't find the file.if i use the absolute path,it works.
i wonder how can i locate the file path in the weblogic,or what's my current path,or how may i setup my work directory?
in tomcat,my current directory is bin directory,how about weblogic?
who can help me?thank you!

How do I locate the dial up button on my IPad Air

You are mistaking a capability to connect to a cell data network (for connection to the Internet) with the ability to make phone calls. As stedman has said, the iPad is not a phone and cannot make phone calls directly. You would need to use one of the voice-over-IP solutions such as Viber, which Diavonex mentioned below, or Skype.

You can't. For a cc or bcc field you will have to use the regular Mail client. However, Mail does have some photo stationary if you like the fancy iPhoto presentation of photos in the emails:

How can i locate the properties files within a ejb container?

when i develop servlet+javabean structure application,in order to imploement decoupling,i
would like to write the config information in the properties files(key-value pair),in
servlet,i use "getResourceAsStream(String relativePath)" method to retrieve the
configuration information from the properties files(i even write the SQL clause
in the files),it alwsys works well.
now,i want to implement such function within the ejb container,that is to read
a properties file from session bean,but i don't know how can i locate the file
within the ejb container by using relative path,i wonder if there is the same
method within ejb container as "getResourceAsStream(.......)" method within servlet
container?
thanks for any helps!
the code snippet is appreciated!

In general, you should look at using environment entries (variables) in the
deployment descriptors (both the war and EJB jar rather than properties
files for configuring J2EE applications. The reasons for this are many:
1. This is the official way to do it according to the spec. Properties
files are the J2SE way of doing things
2. As you note, that it's not obvious how you would (legally) read a
properties file inside an EJB.
3. It's consistent between the web and EJB part of your code
4. the weblogic console and tools have good capabilities to edit these
fields.

How to keep unaltered the last line?

Hi I am doing some last corrections in a book which is going to be in the next days published and I am not allowed to change the form of the pages. (The indexes at the end of book are already done). Thus by correcting some footnotes (making them shorter) the main text above also changes (the first line of the next page appears in the page I corrected the footnotes) and I cannot keep the previous form of the pages. How can I keep the last line of the main text unaltered so that the pages turn exactly at the same point like before?

If I am understanding your issue correctly, it seems that you are trying to keep the length of each page's main content unaltered so that the index could refer back to the correct page. It sounds like the content in each page's frames are linked, so that they flow continuously. Adding a page break (or a frame break) may be what you're looking for. You'll find it under Type > Insert Break Character.
I hope this helps. And good luck with your book!

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.
