How do you stream files with a '.' in them?

Hi all,
Im using Flash Media Server to stream MP3s for a completely
web enabled jukebox. The trouble is some of my MP3s have "." in
their filenames. For example I have a file called:
Music/O/One Minute Silence/Buy Now... Saved Later/12 - On
Deaf Ears
This will not play. I have tested with other files, as soon
as a . appears in the name it will not play. Ive tried escaping the
filename by replacing "." with "\." this also didn't work.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Spanner

I think you misunderstand. I am streaming by using
mp3:<filename> without the .mp3 extension. This works fine.
The trouble is if the filename contains a "."
Here is a proper example then:
mp3:mymp3hasa.init
Which would play a file called "mymp3hasa.init.mp3". This
doesn't work. Im not sure if I'm meant to escape the "." and if so
how to do it.
Ive been googling these for ages, and can't find anything!
Cheers
Spanner

How to move independent files with emails in them into Thunderbird

I am trying to fix things for my mother. For some reason emails and folders started disappearing in Oulook, so I ran all the scans. My bf then took over and he believes it's because she had a bunch of subfolders and Outlook as problems with that. Well we were able to save the emails and folders and I figured out that we could use undbx to get them back to a more normal state. Well now they are all sitting on the desktop in a file, but I can't figure out how to get them onto Mozilla Thunderbird, which we decided to switch to. If I copy the folder into the profile it sees the folders, but not the emails. I'm figuring that I need to find a way to get it into msf format, or find a program that's easier to put them on, then import to Thunderbird.

undbx as I understand it deals with outlook express DBX files by converting them into individual EMLs file one per email.
Based on that understanding install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ import export tools] add-on using the instructions [http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html here].
Note that F10 makes the menu bar visible so you can access the tools menu where the add-on installs.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I used to go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help.

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.

If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Noob question... How do you familiarize yourself with a library?

I'm very new to Java and programming in general. but I am currently reading some beginner books for Java. From what I've read, libraries are nothing more than prewritten code which you can call to use in your programs. My question is how do you familiarize yourself with the libraries? With so many different libraries, how do you find out what they are capable of? Is is simply diving in it and analyzing the code? Can you create your own libraries? If so, what is the advantage of creating a library instead of baking the code right into the program? Why advantage do you have with referencing an outside file for code over having a self contained program?

My question is how do you familiarize yourself with the libraries? Gradually.
With so many different libraries, how do you find out what they are capable of? The best way is by working through a good Java book.
Is is simply diving in it and analyzing the code? You can do that, too.
Can you create your own libraries?Yes.
If so, what is the advantage of creating a library instead of baking the code right into the program? 1. You can analyze it and test it separately.
2. You can reuse it separately.
Why advantage do you have with referencing an outside file for code over having a self contained program?Are you asking the same question, just with different wording?

How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

Can someone please help me with this query:
How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

Hi Amila1,
Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

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,
SB

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
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.
