How to find every 3rd Friday?

I have a column of consecutive dates that span multiple months. A second column list the day name for the date. How do I find every 3rd Friday of any month? I'd like to have it display some text in a 3rd column next to the particular Friday.
If the formula is generic enough, I'd like to find other types of days such as every 1st Friday, every 2nd Thursday, etc.

I'm assuming that by "every 3rd Friday of any month" you mean "the third Friday of each month," and that your meaning for "every second Tuesday" and "every first Friday" is similar.
The first occurrence of any particular weekday in a particular month will be on one of the first seven days in that month, the second occurrence in the second seven days, and the third occurrence in the third seven days.
The day number within a month is returned by the DAY(date) function.
First:      DAY(date)>0 AND DAY(date)<8
Second: DAY(date)>7 AND DAY(date)<15
Third:     DAY(date)>14 AND DAY(date)<22
Fourth:   DAY(date)>21 AND DAY(date)<29
A number corresponding to the day of the week is returned by the WEEKDAY(date) function. By default, the week starts on Sunday, which is assigned the WEEKDAY value 1.
So for a date to be the third Friday of a month, three things must be TRUE:
WEEKDAY(date) must be 6
DAY(date) must be greater than 14
DAY(date) must be less than 22.
Expressed as a formula, placed in the same row as the date, and with the dates listed in column A,
=IF(AND(WEEKDAY($A)=6,DAY($A)>14,DAY($A)<22),"Third Friday","")
will place "Third Friday" beside the third Friday of each month, and a null string in the other rows.
There should be enough information there to write the formulas for the other cases.

Barry

How to make applescript to select every 3rd file to move to new folder?

I have an interesting 'problem' I think.
As a result of a time-lapse experminent, I have a folder which holds several thousands of pictures from a fixed point, made over several days & nights.
But there is one issue: the camera made 3 different exposures every 5 seconds.
This resulted in every 3rd picture 'belonging' to each other. So these have to be selected for going in a seperate folder. Menaing: pictures 1 and 4 and 7 and 10 .... they must go in one folder. 2 and 4 and 8 and 11.. in the second folder. Finally 3 and 5 and 9 and 12 in a third folder.
How to do this with software (to avoid injury) because of the thousands of pics.
Is this do-able with applescript? How?
Tnx

Hello
You may try something like the following script.
Main part is written in shell script for performance sake. AppleScript is only used for user interface.
Please see comments in script for its usage and behaviour.
And please test the script first with small subset of your images.
(Since the script will scan the source folder tree for image files, it is good idea not to create destination folders in source folder tree.)
Minimally tested with OSX10.2 at hand but NO WARRANTIES of any kind.
Make sure you have full backup of your images before applying this script.
Hope this may help,
H
image file (jpg) sorter
v0.2
Script will let you choose two folders, i.e. -
a) source folder where images reside (directory tree under the chosen folder is scanned),
b) destination parent folder where three subfolders will be made (named '0', '1', '2').
The file number i is obtained by removing extension and non-digts from file name.
The file with number i (0-based) in source tree will be moved to (i mod 3)'th subfolder in destination.
e.g.,
IMG_1440.JPG -> '0' (i = 1440, i mod 3 = 0)
IMG_1441.JPG -> '1' (i = 1441, i mod 3 = 1)
IMG_1442.JPG -> '2' (i = 1442, i mod 3 = 2)
IMG_1443.JPG -> '0' ...
IMG_9997.JPG -> '1'
IMG_9998.JPG -> '2'
IMG_9999.JPG -> '0'
IMG_0001.JPG -> '1'
IMG_0002.JPG -> '2'
IMG_0003.JPG -> '0'
image file name convention : ZZZZ_9999.jpg
set src to choose folder with prompt "Choose source folder."
set src_ to (src's POSIX path's text 1 thru -2)'s quoted form
set dst to choose folder with prompt "Choose destination parent folder."
set dst_ to (dst's POSIX path's text 1 thru -2)'s quoted form
set sh to "
# source directory
srcdir=" & src_ & ";
# destination directories
dstdir=" & dst_ & ";
dest=("$dstdir"/{0,1,2});
# make destinations
mkdir -p "${dest[@]}";
# let k = number of destination directories
k=${#dest[@]};
# sort files to destinations such that -
# 1) number i is obtained by removing extension and non-digits from file name; and
# 2) file with number i is stored in (i % k)'th destination, where i is zero-based.
# e.g. Given xxxx_9999.jpg, k = 3;
# i = 9999 and the file is sorted to destination 0 (= 9999 mod 3)
find "$srcdir" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0 | while read -d $'\0' f;
do
leaf=${f##*/}; # get file name

# echo "$i $f ${dest[i % k]}"; # for testing

How to make every folder in finder snap to grid

Hi, does anyone know how to make every folder in finder snap to grid? Without having to go one by one into the view options?
Thanks!

Open a folder, CMD+J, set it up as you want it, and click on the Use as Defaults button. That will set it for all unopened folders. For those previously opened and having other settings, you'll have to reapply it to each.

                                          }What is wrong with it because I tried to find "every Tuesday" in
myfile.txt: "Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday"
There is big problem with split statement because it takes each word not more than a word.
I need to have "every Tuesday" not "Tuesday". How to make it correct codes?

I am going to give you a picture of how the output will look.
Here are two sentences from myfile.txt:
Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday
Meet with research students on Thursday
I need to read from myfile.txt and to find specific words in each sentences like this output:
Every Tuesday : Go fishing
Every Wednesday : Go fishing
Thursday : Meet with research students
Ok. make sense? Now I am trying to figure out how to find specific words in each sentence from myfile.txt.
That is why I have difficult with the splits statement and loops. Like this:
     public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
          String result = "";
          String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
          for (String s1: s){
               for (String s2: days){
                    if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                         if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("Thursday")){
                         }else{
                              System.out.println("That sentence is not working");
          return result;
}So look at the "Thursday" it is working the output because I have split statement to give me only one word not more than
a word in sentence. So there is big problem with more than a word in sentence like this "every Tuesday" and it won't work at all because of split. Could you please help me how to do that? I appreciated for that help. Thanks.

This has come up a few times, so I tweaked one of my Automator actions a while back to do this. I thought I had uploaded it before, but the latest version of my *Trim Input Items* action is available on my iDisk here. It keeps or trims the input list to the selected number of items from the beginning, end, interval, or random locations. You may need to sort the input file list to get them into the desired order, since the action just works with the items in the list, and doesn't care what they are.
I haven't tested it with large file lists, but an example workflow using my action would be:
1) *Get Specified Finder Items* (or however you want to get the file items)
2) *Set Value of Variable* { Variable: _File List_ }
3) *Trim Input Items* { Keep Interval 3 items, starting from item 1 }
4) *Move Finder Items* { To: _First Location_ } -- move first batch
5) *Get Value of Variable* { Variable: _File List_ } (Ignore Input)
6) *Trim Input Items* { Keep Interval 3 items, starting from item 2 }
7) *Move Finder Items* { To: _Second Location_ } -- move second batch
8) *Get Value of Variable* { Variable: _File List_ } (Ignore Input)
9) *Trim Input Items* { Keep Interval 3 items, starting from item 3 }
10) *Move Finder Items* { To: _Third Location_ } -- move third batch

How to find a specific word in sentence in each line?

How to find a specific word in sentence in each line and output will show start from the beginning from specific word plus with small description from each sentence?
For example: I need to find a "+Wednesday+" and "+Thursday+" word in each sentence by line by line from "myfile.txt".
Go ballet class next Wednesday.
On the Wednesday is going to swim class.
We have a meeting on Thursday at Panda's.
Then it will show the output:
Wednesday : ballet class
Wednesday : swim class
Thursday: meeting at Panda's
I am going to figure out in Java console to read from a file for specific word from each line and how to make it output in correct way. I know already to make input/file codes.

I got it and understand much better. Thank you very much. There is a problem with it because I knew how to make
a specific word in sentence but how I should make Output for specific word and some words from sentence.
For example:
Input:
+"On Thursday go to ballet class"+
+"Swim class on Friday one time a month at 2 p.m."+
I used the codes for that:
class FindSchedule{
     String firstline = "On Thursday go to ballet class ";
     String secondline = "Swim class on Friday one time a month ";
     FindSchedule(){
          System.out.println(firstline + findTheIndex("Thursday", firstline));
          System.out.println(secondline + findTheIndex("Friday", secondline));
     public int findTheIndex(String word, String sentence){
          int index;
          index = sentence.indexOf(word);
          return index;
     public static void main (String[] args){
          new FindSchedule();
}The output will be:
Thursday: ballet class
Friday: 14:00 swim class one time a week
Notice that time is changing in output complete different from input.
I need to find out how to extract some words from each sentence for output. Do you know how to do it?

How to find the number of links in a website

hi every body
can any one clear my doubt
my doubt is that
in a website how to find the number of links the hole website contains
is there any navigation tool to find that
plz help me yar
i am waiting for the reply

If you're talking about commercial sites (sites you don't have the source code for) I'm not sure.
If you want to count the links in site that you have the source code for, it should be relatively easy to write a Java application to do it. All you really need to do is have a list of the files you want to count links in, read each file line by line and check for the existance of the <a> tag in each line. Anywhere their is an <a> tag there is a link.
Hope this helps.

How to find the number of references created for a given object ??

How to find the number of references created for a given object in a big application environment.
That means, if i give any object name (of my application) as input, then how can i find the[b] number of references created for that particular object ??

Please do not post the same question multiple times.
As for your original question, there is no direct way to do it.
Especially not the way you phrased it,
since objects don't have "names".
Applications also don't have "names".
They have classes and instances.
Also, there are 2 related issues, and I'm not sure which one is the one you asked.
#1. Finding the number of references to the same object.
Eg.
Map<String,String> a = new HashMap<String,String>();
Map<String,String> b = new HashMap<String,String>();
Map<String,String> c = a;In this case, there are only 2 objects.
The first object has (at least) 2 references pointing to it.
The second object has (at least) 1 reference pointing to it.
(There may be more, if the HashMap library keeps
references to these things, or if the HashMap object has
some internal cyclic references...)
If you're asking this, then it can't be done.
It's an active research topic in universities
and software research labs, called "alias analysis".
Type it in google, and you'll see people are working hard
and having little success so far.
#2. Finding the number of instances created from a class.
In this case, what you have to do is to add a counter to
the constructor of the class. Every time an object is constructed,
you increment the counter. Like this:
   class MyClass
       public static int counter = 0;
       public MyClass( ) { counter++; }
    // Then later in your program, you can do this:
    MyClass a = new MyClass();
    MyClass b = new MyClass();
    System.out.println(MyClass.counter); // It should show 2Note: you won't be able to do this to every class in the system.
For every class you care about, you have to modify its constructor.
Also: when an object is deleted, you won't always know it
(and thus you won't always be able to decrement the counter).
Finalizers cannot always work (read Joshua Bloch's
"Effective Java" book if you don't believe me), but basically
(1) finalizers will not always be called, and
(2) finalizers can sometimes cause objects to not be deleted,
and thus the JVM will run out of memory and crash

How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO

Hi,
How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO.
I have a scenario where I fetch data into an internal table T_CDHDR(It has PO and other details). For each and every entry(PO) in that internal table I have to see whether an Invoice is been posted or not. They told to use <b>EKBE(Purchasing document history)</b> table. But, I don't know which field to check for and based on what conditions.
Can someone help me with sample code or some valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

HI,
TABLE IS RIGHT.
IN THAT TABLE FOR THE FIELD BEWTP CHECK WHETHER ENTRY IS "Q".
Q STANDS FOR IR-L THAT MEANS INVOICE IS DONE.
ON THE SELECTION SCREEN OF EKBE TABLE ENTER THE PO NUMBER.
THEN CHECK WHETHER IT HAS ENTRY FOR BEWTP 'Q'.
YOU CAN CROSS-CHECK THIS DATA FROM TABLE WITH THAT IN ACTUAL PO IN T.CODE - ME23N.
ENTER PO NUMBER ,THEN IN ITEM DETAILS , IN HISTORY TAB SEE FOR THAT INVOICE NO.
