Two ways .....
1. Use Javascript E4X instead ...there are nice functions for getting children of parents.
2. Cycle through all of the form1.nodes and look for objects that have a className of "subform". For loops are useful for this task.
Make sense?

How to get only the first level of nodes for a subform?

How can we get only the first level of nodes of a subform?
For ex:
Form1
     SubForm1
          Text1
          Text2
          RadioButton1
     SubForm2
          Text1
          Text2
          RadioButton1
     SubForm3
          Text1
          Text2
               SubForm31
                    RadioButton1
In this heirarchy if we give Form1.nodes will refer to all nodes under the Form1 (SubForm1,Test1,Text2,RadioButton1,SubForm2,...SubForm31, RadioButton1 etc..)
But is there any way that we can access only the first level of nodes of Form1 ie can we get only (SubForm1,SubForm2,SubForm3) for Form1 in any Way..?
Thanks.

How to replace only the first specified character in a string and leave other occurrence of the character alone.

Hello my Friends:
I have a string that looks like this in a column:
Hello, World, Hello, Planet
I want to replace only the first occurrence so that the result looks like this:
Hello World, Hello, Planet
Working on some bad data source.
I need to replace the character regardless of it's location as long as it is the first.
I tried something like this, but I soon discovered that if the comma or character is missing the the string may get truncated or altered. If there are no characters in the string, then I want to simply leave it alone.
Here is where I am at:
DECLARE @MyValue NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'Hello, World, Hello, Planet';
SELECT MyString = STUFF('Hello, World', CHARINDEX(',', @MyValue, 0), 1, ' ');
Thanks my friends.

I have a string that looks like this in a column:
Hello, World, Hello, Planet
Why doesn't it say Hello Kitty?
Oh, sorry about that. Anyway:
SELECT MyString = CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',', @MyValue, 0) >= 1
   THEN STUFF(MyString, CHARINDEX(',', @MyValue, 0), 1, ' ')
   ELSE MyString
   END;

How to get only the selected layer data?

Hi All,
I'm using dissolve sample plugin. I added two layers in photoshop both of different dimensions, say 1000 * 1000 & 2000 * 2000. Now I select the layer with 1000 * 1000 dimension and click on Dissolve plugin. The preview image what is shown in dissolve plugin dialog is not just the selected layer, but also some extra pixels around the selected layer.
Do I need to set any flag for getting only selected layer data to display in preview?
Also I need to get only the selected area in a particular layer. When I checked FilterRecordPtr, haveMask flag is TRUE if the part of the layer is selected. But how do I get only the part of the layer that is selected for displaying preview image?
Please let me know if the description is not clear.
Thanks,
Dheeraj

Thanks Tom Ruark for the response.
That is exactly the same thing what I'm seeing.
1.Is there a direct way to know the bounds of the layer without the transparency grid so that I can show only the layer?
2. If I select an area of 50*50 within a layer(1000*1000) using Rectangular Marquee tool, then I want only that selected area to be shown in preview. For this there is a haveMask flag which indicates whether or not there is selection, but the selected bounds are not available. I'm currently calculating the bounds. I just wanted to know if Photoshop SDK has any field for getting the bounds?

How to get only the graphics path without graphics names?

Hi All,
I need to get only the graphics path without graphics names like 'd:\Images\' instead of 'd:\Images\abc.jpg' in JS.
Thanks,
Praveen

Something like this should get you close…
#target indesign
function main() {
     if (app.documents.length == 0) {
          alert('Please have an "Indesign" document before running this script.');
     return;
     docRef = app.activeDocument;
     with(docRef) {
          var x = rectangles[0].allGraphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
          var y = new File(x).parent.fsName;
          $.writeln(y);
main();

How to get only the date without the time in the footer of a printout?

Is there a way to get only the date without the time in the footer of a printout?

As far as I can tell, there's no built-in option to get the date printed without the time. It's hardcoded in a C++ file.
As a workaround, you can enter custom text for the footer, but it would need to be updated every time the date changed. I can think of a couple ways to automate that:
* An add-on (but I'm not aware of any add-on for this)
* External process to push a new date into prefs.js, a settings file that stores your header/footer preferences, among others (but Firefox should be closed when you update this file, and it will be read when you restart)
Not easy enough, I know.

How to get only the whole number omitting the decimals

Hi Experts,
I want to get only the whole number of a output field. For example i am getting an output as 8.766 , i need only the value 8 .
I checked by moving the values to integer field but i am getting the rounding value 9 .
I want only the whole value 8.
Please help me out..
thanks & Regards.
Reena..

Hi Reena,
Unfortunately when you assign a packed number to a character, numeric or even a packed no without a decimal value SAP does a internal conversion of rounding these value. So direct assignment would won't work for your case.
You can use the following logic instead for getting the whole number.
DATA : LV_VAR1 TYPE STRING,
            LV_VAR2 type p DECIMALS 3 value '8.766'.
LV_VAR1 = lV_VAR2.   " LV_VAR1 would contain 8.766 without rounding.
write : LV_VAR1(1).   " LV_VAR1(1) contains 8 which you can assign to any target variable.
I think there is no addition so as to avoid this internal rounding.
Try and let me know if it works for you..
Cheers

Hi Raj,
My inp structure is:
<header>
<inp1>123</inp1>
<inp2>hello</inp1>
</header>
<header>
<inp1>456</inp1>
<inp2>hello</inp1>
</header>
This has to me mapped to the output structure
<result>
</op1>
</result>
After Mapping inp1 to op1 my structure should appear as
<result>
<op1>123</op1>
</result>
<result>
<op1>123</op1>
</result>
where <Header> node is mapped to </result>.As <result> has to appear as many times as Header appears.But the <op1> value has to be same as that of the <inp1> of the first <Header>

How to remove only the first .Period in a file name using CL.

Hello!
So, I've used code similar to this before to remove special characters. It works for a period . as well, but, of course removes ALL periods.

How do get a reult that only remove the first period . and leaves the rest?
Thanks!!

How to get ONLY the data shown in the plot area (Chart)

My chart history length are 120000, often I don't need to save the whole
buffer, just the data shown in the plot area?
Richard Pettersen

Hi Richard,
you haven't said which version of LabVIEW you're using, so I've assumed 6.1, although this should be fine for older versions too.
I put down a chart with a scrollbar, so I could go through the old data, and put an indicator attached to the x-scale->Range->minimum and x-scale->Range->maximum. These followed the displayed elements in the chart as I scrolled through the data. You can therefore link in the chart history (history data property of the chart) with a array subset to retrieve the appropriate portion.
Be aware though. The minimum and maximum that the chart is showing on the x-scale may not be a part of the history data. E.g. if I set the history length to 1000 points, and produce on the first run, 1000 points, then my minimum and maximum are a
t say 899 and 999. I then produce a second set of data, 1000 points long, and my min and max move to 1899 and 1999. As my history data is only 1000 long, I can scroll back to 1000 OK, but my min and max used as indexes don't relate anymore. The array of data is from 0 to 999, but my indexes can run from 1000 to 1999. So I have to add in a check that sees how much data is available before attempting to index, and then it's down to the flow of the program to try to work out where the data actually is (I'll leave that one to you - you'll need to keep track of the history data compared to the maximum (shown just after a point is added though this then makes a mess of your data! - possible to keep a track of new minimum when adding new data : the maximum (which will show once new data goes on) minus the history length gives the minimum that can be scrolled to - subtract this from all max's and min's to get real offset into the data - history length can be got from the history data and an a
rray size sub .vi)
Obviously there's no problem if you're clearing the graph everytime you either plot new data, or reach maximum capacity on the history data as the indexes return to zero.
Hope that helps

How to get only the latest record in a folder

Hi all,
We have an OA SIT that is not a "standard" SIT in that it does not have the traditional Begin and End date. It only has an Effective date. Is there some way I can filter this table to only give me the latest record in the series? I know how to do this in SQL, but don't see how it would be possible in the EUL.
We're trying to avoid creating database views, but at this point, I'm thinking it may be the easiest way to address this. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Jewell

Jewell.
Of course I'm not going to mention that I have no idea what a 'standard' SIT is compared to your basic 'non-standard' SIT ... and I have to watch my spelling of such ... but however ...
As you're most likely aware, in SQL you would get all the 'standard' SIT records first by going through the table. Then you'd go back through them all and find the most recent one.
Because of this 2 table pass, I agree that just putting the SQL code in a custom folder (as you're not using views) would make the most sense.

XML parsing - NodeList : how to get only the desired childs

Hi
my question is about parsing XML files. I use "getChildNodes()" method (from org.w3c.dom.Node class) to get in a NodeList all childs of node. Is there a method to get only desired child nodes? For example I want to get only node elements wtih tag "coordinate". Or alternatively, is there a method to exclude text node to be added to the NodeList? My problem is that depending on the xml is formatted, text node could be recognized and added from parser, and this causes problems with my parsing..
thanks to all

If you want to select nodes based on changing criteria, you should use XPath.
If you have relatively fixed criteria, iterate over the nodes and pick out the ones that you want. For example:
public static List<Element> getChildren(Element parent, String tagname) {
    List<Element> result = new ArrayList<Element>();
    NodeList children = parent.getChildNodes();
    for (int ii = 0 ; ii < children.getLength() ; ii++) {
      Node child = children.item(ii);
      if ((child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) && tagname.equals(child.getNodeName()) {
        result.add((Element)child);
    return result;
}

HELP: How to get only the text of an element Node

Use this method to get the text in Java
public String getTextContents ( Node node )
NodeList childNodes;
StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
childNodes = node.getChildNodes();
for(int i=0; i < childNodes.getLength(); i++ )
if( childNodes.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE )
contents.append(childNodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
return contents.toString();
