How do I managing files with Automator?

Hello!
I looked around in many websites, but didn't found one solution that works for me.
I tried to do one workflow by myself but even so it didn't work.
Maybe this is a simple problem for someone who knows how to work with automotor. But for me it's been a hard task.
I have one "folder A” with files and subfolders, and a "folder B” also files and subfolders (some are the same).
The “folder A”is managed by one software program.
I need when a file is added to "folder A" this will be excluded/deleted from "folder B”.
This will prevent duplicating files.
Someone could help me with this?
Thank you in advance.

How do you attach the pdf to the citation?
Inside the program exist one space to attach the file.
Is it done from within the program (what program BTW?) or is it done from outside the program.
The program is the "Endnote".
Is there some way to tell the program to move the PDF file rather then copying it?
I suppose not.
If not is there some way to have the program output a list of the PDF files?
I don't know, I suppose not.
Thanks

How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

How to View/manage Files on Internal Storage?

Does anyone know how to view/manage files on the Droid Mini? I did find a list of 'Misc. Files' in 'Settings' under 'Storage'. But it only gives the option to delete. My old phone had a 'Files' app (that came on the phone) where I could view/manage all files. I'm sure I could just plug into my laptop, but I would like to have file access on my phone. Is that even possible? Is there a *good* App I could upload perhaps? Any suggestions?
Thanks =)

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

I want to share files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

@AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
Peace,

Renaming files with Automator & Apple Spript

Hi there!
I need the help of an expert in Automator & Apple Spript....
I've got to rename 500 files with the following names:
001-001 firstfilename.jpg
104-095a otherfilename.jpg
Any idea on how to get rid of the second number (that is 3 or 4 characters long, but always followed by a space) so to have something like:
001 firstfilename.jpg
104 otherfilename.jpg
Thanks in advance & Ciao!

The following script should work.
IMPORTANT:
1) The files whose names you want to change must all be in the same folder. That folder must be open, and it must be the front finder window.
(Also, no other files should be in that folder)
2) Make a back-up of the files before you do this (just in case there is a problem. I hope the files are not too large)
3) This should work if the file names are consistent. I have presumed that there is always a hyphen and a space ( ) and that you wish to keep the characters before the hyphen and after the space.
4) Copy the script below into the script editor. When you have prepared 1 & 2 above then run the script. Good luck
--Start of Script
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to every file of the front window
repeat with Cfile in myFiles
set WholeName to the name of Cfile
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "-"
set WNlist to every text item of WholeName
set WNpart1 to first item of WNlist
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set WNlist2 to every text item of WholeName
set WNpart2 to last item of WNlist2
set NewName to WNpart1 & " " & WNpart2
set name of Cfile to NewName
end repeat
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
--End of Script

Move Files with Automator or Applescript

I am a newbie to Applescript and Automator and I'm afraid I'm in way over my head. I need to move a bunch of files in a single folder to several different folders based on the file name. Is this possible?
Specifically, several files with names "word1 word2 word3 word4.pdf" are placed in a folder then they will be moved to different folders based on word4.
Ideally, if possible, I would then have to append to things to the file name. At the beginning of the file name a three digit code based on word4 (or the folder) and then at the end of the file name a date stamp. The date stamp should be in the form of four digit year, two digit month, and two digit day with no spaces in between. Where, year is the year of current month -1, month is current month -1, and day is the last day of current month -1.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

your description is still underspecified, so this script probably won't work out-of-the-box, but it will get you close.

How can I do this with automator, shouldent be to hard right?

I am not new to the programming world but new to apple, however, i wanted to know if this was possible or not ;
Id like to run a script that will ultimatly do this
1)Run Safari
2) Open brokerage website
3) Log In (using key chain or by apple script inputing the user name and password or asking me for dialog box
4)click a certain link somewhere on the page that will pop up the streaming quotes section
5) minimize all safari windows expect the one that is streaming the quotes
6) keep clicking a link that refreshes every half hour the account page so it dosent log me out
should be doable right? Any tips for a first time user for apple script? I read some of what it can do and how its done, (iv programmed with C++ and visual basic) and apple script seems to be really simple, however I dont want to under or over estimate its abbilites.
Any input MUCH appricated.

m_oody,
Good, and I can see that we are thinking along the same lines with regards to other applications for it.
I am a little confused as to why you had to comment out the "on run". I set this script up so that you can already run it as an AppleScript or an Automator action. The "on run" and "end run" pairing are assumed in simple AppleScripts that only have a single routine but, in my opinion, should really be included for good programming style.
Run as AppleScript
Compile, save and run as it is without commenting out anything. You can add further calls to activities, like you mentioned, in the main "on run" routine, and the required GUI commands with other subroutines.
Within the main "on run" routine is where you could call subroutines that would open up other windows or tabs with other sites using Safari, other browsers, and other net applications such as RSS readers, Internet radio, etc.
Run as Automator action
You are right that there are currently a limited selection of actions available with which to build a workflow. However, Apple did leave enough flexibility through actions with calls to AppleScript ("Run AppleScript"), a Unix Shell script ("Run Shell Script"), run other Automator workflows ("Run Workflow")and, Web Services ("Run Web Service") to provide extensibility to the application. Of course there is also a tremendous flexibility within Unix itself with all the scripting and full programming languages that can be run through the Shell.
Long winded today!
Here is what needs to be done to run this as an Automator action.
1) Open Automator and look for an action called "Run AppleScript" which is within the "Automator" category of actions.
2) Drag it over to the workflow assembly line. You will notice it contains the core of an AppleScript main routine.
3) Normally when you are building these routines you build them within this environment and test them there and only replace the text labelled "(* Your script goes here *)". However, in our case it was build in the AppleScript Script Editor environment and because the Properties section must go at the top we need to modify its structure for it to run properly and fit into a workflow that consists of more than this one action. So here is what you need to do:
a) Go to Script Editor and either delete the line entirely or comment out the line by putting the "--" characters in front of the "on run {}" line. I usually just comment the line out so that if I need to work with it in AppleScript again it is easy to do.
b) Remove the comment characters from "on run {input,parameters}" and "return input". These lines are required to accept and pass on info within the workflow.
c) Select all of the text in the script and copy it to the clipboard.
d) Move over to Automator, select all of the text in the "Run AppleScript" action, and paste in the new script.
It should now compile if you press the hammer icon and run if you press either the green arrow icon on the action or the overall workflow run icon.
You now have the option of saving it as:
1) Basic Workflow, requiring Automator to be running
2) Application, free of Automator running
3) Various plug-ins including one for iCal alarms which you could use for your automated morning download. Search for plug-ins in the Help of Automator for more information.
Once it is saved as an alarm you just need to set up a schedule for running it in iCal, attach the alarm by using the "Open File" alarm, and watch the action.
The AppleScript can also be run with an alarm in iCal. In that case you attach the alarm using the "Run Script" alarm.

How to recognize midi files with iTunes 10.6 ?

iTunes 9.0 recognizes midi files and can it be easily converted into mp3 files.
For the interfacing with iPad2 I must use iTunes 10.6 and it seems this version is not recognizing midi files.
How should I do to manage midi files with iTunes 10.6 ?
Is there in App Store any application with this feature ?
Really it's a pity that a new iTunes version loses fatures instead of gaining !!

The MIDI files in my library still work perfectly. It may be that you simply need to install QuickTime which is no longer installed as part of iTunes.

Unlocking files with Automator

I have an external drive containing folders and files which were loaded from CD's. All the files are locked. Is there a way I could use automator to unlock all the files in a particular folder?

A few different ways.
You could select all of them in the Finder and unlock (or lock) them in the Inspector, a variation of the Info window. Usually you would choose "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu. However, if you hold down the Option key, the "Get Info" changes to "Show Inspector". It's actually the same thing except you don't get a separate window for each file, but instead a single panel. (The panel will stay in view above everything else in the Finder, and will show info about whatever is currently selected.) Within that, in the General area near the top (below the Spotlight comments), there is a checkbox for locking the files. Just uncheck that to unlock.
Another option is to use AppleScript, perhaps inside a "Run AppleScript" action in an Automator workflow. You'd probably have one of the Finder's actions first, such as "Get Selected Finder Items" for anything you currently have selected in the Finder, or perhaps "Get Specified Finder Items". You'd then add Automator's "Run AppleScript" with the following:
<pre style='border:2px inset #99f;overflow:auto;width:500px;padding:.5em;color:#000;background:#ccf';>on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theItem in input
set locked of theItem to false as boolean
end repeat
end tell
-- pass the items to the next action
return input
end run</pre>
(The line beginning with "--" is just a comment, so it's ignored and you don't really need it.)
On the other hand the above code is directly from the Automator action I made to unlock files and folders, which isn't much different than the other action I made to lock them. If you'd like to install the actions, you can download them from the Mac OS X Downloads page here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/lockandunlockfilesandfolders.htm l
Besides being a Universal build, I've included example workflows for locking (or unlocking) items in the Finder. They are meant to be saved as Finder plug-ins so you can right-click on an item (or group of items) and choose to lock/unlock from the Automator submenu in the Finder's contextual menu.
The Finder's contextual menu is also available with Control-click, or with the action button (a gear on it) in the toolbar of Finder windows. If I remember correctly, I've included instructions with the download on how to install the actions and how to save Finder plug-ins, if you aren't familiar with that already. Simply put, you install actions with Automator by choosing in the File menu "Import Actions...".
(There's also a bonus workflow I named " Edit Menu..." for easily accessing the workflows in the Automator submenu. It opens a Finder window with the location of the Finder plug-ins so you can rename them or open them for editing. Though, Spotlight can be just as good for locating them. )
So, there you go. Three different ways. Hopefully one of those will be appropriate.

How to send multiple files with it's original name over HTTPS using one CC?

I am working on a File to HTTPs scenario. It is in production and working fine. Currently we send only one file and I have hard coded the name in the communication channel in the header fields. Now we have to send more files with different names and I want to use only one receiver channel instead of many. We need to send the files with their original names.
I used the ASMA in the sender File Adapter and I see the FileName in the dynamic configuration under http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File name="FileName".
I know we can use a UDF in message mapping and get the value and put it in HEADERFIELDONE. But we don't want to use mapping as the files are huge and we don't want to insert XML tags in the payload.
So how do I put the Filename from the DynamicConfiguration to the HTTP header field as FileName without using mapping? Are there any settings?
Can I put something in the PROLOG or can I use any other module in the File Sender Adapter or is there any other option?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sai

See my blog:
/people/stefan.grube/blog/2009/06/19/unknown-use-case-of-dynamicconfigurationbean-store-file-name-to-jms-header-without-mapping
You have to put the configuration in sender channel, as HTTP adapter does not allow modules.
For the second module, put values related to HTTP adapter.
