How to get the file name from downloads folder with the applescript??

Hi All..
I am downloading an application to downloads folder, I need to install the same application after downloading programatically.
So how do I get the filename in runtime while downloading or after downloading from downloads folder with Applescript or Java?
Also my download URL link doesnot contain full name of the download file.
Pls suggest.

Hi,
The best method is to use curl.
Other methods are not reliable, but can work, it depends on several factors (what the script does, what the user does).
Here is an example with the curl command:
set tUrl to "http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.4/macosx/vlc-2.0.4.dmg/download?ac cel_key=60%3A1350656196%3Ahttp%253A//www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html%3 A7233e4e9%245818d66f39b0576e1e9c4a0f3b46b1991180bfdd&click_id=976a88ee-19f7-11e2 -9a21-0200ac1d1d8e&source=accel"
set dFolder to path to downloads folder
tell application "Finder" to set newFolder to (make new folder at dFolder) as string
set f to quoted form of POSIX path of newFolder
do shell script "cd " & f & " && curl -L " & tUrl & " -o 'vlc.dmg'" -- download  to file "vlc.dmg"
set downloadedFile to newFolder & "vlc.dmg" --<-- HFS path
--do something with the downloadedFile

  • SSIS - creating part of the file name from an id in the database

    I am trying to figure out how to pull an "id" from my data source to include in the file name. Right now the file name created looks like customer_002_timestamp.txt. I need to add the id to the file name and I need to grab it at the time I get
    the data, so then the file name becomes customer_002_id_timestamp.txt.
    My data source is Oracle and I am using Attunity, so I do not have the capability of using the resultset found in the SQL Task because I have to use the data task.
    Has anyone ever extracted an id from a query against Oracle using the Attunity connector to add as part of the file name? If so, how would I add that to my control flow task?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Is it a static id value you want
    Then you can just use a SSIS variable to hold value from resultset in execute sql task
    Then inside your data flow you can use an expression for setting value of another variable which can be used for setting filename in your destination task. The expression will include logic to concatenate id variable also which we populated in the previous
    step.

  • How can I remove my name from being associated with the GB file I export?

    I am using Garage Band '11, 6.0.5.
    I am editing an audio recording for a friend.
    When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
    I searched and found "My info" (in "Preferences") and deleted my information from ALL name, album, artist fields, but it still exported the file with my name as the artist (but it did not list it as from my album this time)?
    Does anyone know how/where/what I need to do to remove all references of my name associated with this file I'm editing?
    And also, can I change who is associated with a GB file, from file to file (i.e. if editing my audio, use my name & info, if editing for a friend or colleague, theirs?  or is the name associated with my GB account universally embedded into every file, no matter if I want it to be mine or not)?
    Thank you for your support!
    Joe

    When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
    The problem is, that this information is stored with the GarageBand project, when you first create the project.  You have to edit the Preferences, before you create the project.
    If the project already exists, you can change this option by turning the project into a podcast. Add a Podcast track (Track menu, Show Podcast Track), select the podcast track, and open the Info panel. Then edit the artist field in the Info panel, before you save the song to disk.
    (added: I saw the workaround with the Podcast track first in a post by Edgar).

  • File Adapter - how to get the file count from a folder

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that have to poll a directory when the file count is reached to number N (ex:number of files avilable in folder is 5) otherwise it should wait and not pick any of the files. Is it possible to get the file count from a folder using file adapter ?? otherwise please suggest me an approach to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Hi Sarath,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Go with the list files operation of file adapter it will gives you the number of files in the specified folder as you given. . - this step is already done.
    When the number of files reaches your count startup your webservice that which can polls the files. . . - how can i acheive this?? Have to poll the directory and process the number files - please let me know, what could be added to the webservice which is being invoked after cheking file count from parent process.
    The reason for the above question is - we cannot use ReadFile operation in second webservice because it will be automatically triggered when the file is avilable. Also SyncRead operation supports reading one file in b/w bpel process. Kindly explain me the implementation steps.
    Thanks,
    JJ

  • Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

    I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
    So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
    Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
    Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.

  • How to get Sequence File Name ?

    Hello everybody !!
    I'm using TestStand 3.1 and i would like to get sequence file name. I've tried to use NameOf() function, but without success.
    Of course, I've searched previous posts about the same question, but nothing works.
    Is there someone able to tell me how to get sequence file name ?
    Thanks a lot.
    MrOrange

    MrOrange,
    first of all, the solution i will present only works for saved sequence files.
    you got all information you need within TestStand itself, just browse for RunState.SequenceFile.Path. here you can find the filename. but the path of the file is also included in the string, so this is a part you have to get rid off.
    you can use statements to extract the filename from the path. just search the string for the last occurence of "\\" (searchinreverse!) and then you can retrieve the right() part of the path. beware that right() needs the number of characters you want to extract, not the startindex!!
    hope this helps,

  • Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
    action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
    way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
    written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

    Hi Paras,
    Based on your description, it is not the VS IDE issue, if it is related to the SSIS, I suggest you post the issue in this forum here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlintegrationservices

    does the time stamp with the ":" a part of your output file?
    else use a replaceAll function in your mapping and replace the : with empty string then use the value in the variable substitution
    Another option is use the normal BPM for 1: N message flow. The use a simple java mapping that will introduce a dynamic configuration and you can create the file name as you want. the java mapping will be used in the flow of messages from BPM to target system.

  • How to store the File Name from a Unix Directory into a ODI variable?

    Hi,
    I have built a ODI package with the following steps:
    1. ODI is polling for a flat file in a Unix directory. I have used OdiFileWait tool for this purpose. Here the file name is not fixed, so I am using wild character (*) to poll for file. Example: DF*ABC1*.DAT where the first wild character denotes 1 letter and the second wild character denotes 2 digits.
    2. In the second step, if the file is found, I am moving the file to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file). Here I have used ODIFileMove tool.
    3. Then I am using an ODI Interface to Load the file data into a Oracle database table.
    4. I am using a Process log table to keep the log for each step I am executing in ODI that is ODIFileWait, ODIFileMove, Interface etc. for each file. In this table a row needs to be inserted after ODIFileWait tool gets the file, with the File Name and File Date. Later on this row will be updated as the consequent steps are executed.
    Here is my concern, I need to get the exact File Name of the file after ODIFileWait gets the file and I need to insert that in the Process Log table after the ODIFileWait step gets a file. So if I can store the File Name in a ODI Variable, I can insert it into the Process log table at this point. This I am not able to do.
    The files are coming in a different directory (not in ODI file server path), So after getting the file it is moved to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file)
    The Files which I am processing are fixed length format. Also, the File name and File Date is stored in the 1st Record(Header record) of the files.
    Kindly provide me suggestions to implement this in my code.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anik

    Look at this link -http://odiexperts.com/getting-one-or-several-unknown-files-from-a-directory
    change the command to fetch the ls command and write into File and then using either java or jython break the data and fetch the file name and date and insert into log table.
    (or)
    you can use the os.system command and get the complete ls command into string and then process and insert it.
    Let us know if you need any other help.
