How to Handle Files With No Extension

Many open source softwares come with some text files named "README" or "TODO" with no extension.
All my txt files are opened with MacVim, but these files without extensions are open with TextEdit.app by default .
The question is HOW do I change  it so that thay're NOT open with TextEdit.app but open with MacVim.app when being double-clicked .
Thank you, And sorry for my pool English.

Click on the file and do a Get-Info. command-I. In the Open with drop down menu click on the drop down and if your MacVim appears select it. If it doesn't select other and navigate to where MacVim is located. Select it and then select open all.

    I am trying to find out how to assign files with particular extensions to the appropriate software. At the moment when I create a file using Word it is apparently given the extension .docx but Word doesn't recognise its own files. How do I allocate the extension .docx to Word? There used to be a way of doing it, I think under "Preferences" but I can't seem to find it.

    Hello,
    From what I understand through your problem is that you are updating the database tables with the values obtained from the *.msg file, which may also include Asian characters. If you debug and check your internal table I'm certain you would find your Asian characters as they are. But once you upload them on to the database they get distorted. The problem is probably arising because your system is not unicode enabled, Please confirm with your basis person whether the system is Unicode enabled.
    Regards,
    Manish.

  • How do I add a filter in JFileChooser for files with no extension?

    Is it possible to have a filter with that filters out files with no extension in a JFileChooser?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Shankar

    When you override accept(File), get the filename from the File object, and parse out the extension. I don't remember there being an easy way to get the extension besides looking for a dot and parsing. If there's no extension, accept it.

  • How to output a postscript file with .ps extension name in jsp?

    Hi,
    I could use a servlet to output a postscript file with .ps file extension name. But I tried to do the same with jsp, for some reason, jsp always outputs a file with .jsp extension name though the content is postscript. Could anyone help me on this? Here is my jsp code:

    corresv.setCorresId(corresId);
    PrintWriter output = response.getWriter();
    output = corresv.getResult(output);
    output.flush();
    %>
    In the bean corresv:

    public void setCorresId(String s) {
    this.corresId = s;
    public PrintWriter getResult(PrintWriter output) {

  • How can u open a file with .exe extension after it was unpacked?

    Thank you Linc Davis for THE ARCHIVER, I was able to unpacked the program. However, after it was unpacked, I clicked the file wtih .exe extension and I got a message that this file will not be extract with this program. Is there another way to open file with .exe extension after it was unpacked by THE ARCHIVER...??? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

    .exe files are Windows executables and do not run in OS X.  You would have to install Windows to use it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    6. Last is Q.  Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs.  It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Files with .a extension using ftp transport

    Hi.
    Am using ftp adapter in osb to read .txt files(e.g. abcd.txt) from ftp location, process the body/text() in OSB and then place the incoming file to an outbound folder.
    the flow is like ftp-> Proxy Service->Business Service->outbound ftp
    the service works fine where then is less load or the no. of incoming files is less.
    However,sometimes the outbound folder contains the files with .a extension at the end.(e.g. abcd.txt.a)
    Can someone tell me the rootcause of these .a file creation and the scenarios in which the .a files are created.
    Also,please tell me what are these .a files meant for?
    How,can I eliminate this while configuring the services using ftp transport.
    Thanks in adavance

    I had this recently with a variety of FTP servers, FileZilla, Microsoft etc.
    For me, it happened when the file already exists in the destination and I was expecting the destination file to be overwritten. My application would generate the same filename, say FileA.txt and expect that to be overwritten, but with OSB 10gR3 I would get files with .a stuck on the end.
    This functionality changed between ALSB and OSB and I had a patch developed to restore the ALSB functionality.
    I spent ages looking at it, and debugging FTP commands and going from memory, I'm pretty certain that the FTP adapter doesn't implement the correct FTP spec for the RNFR command according to the RFC in the case where a file already exists - it doesn't handle overwrite.
    Hope that may help.

  • Receiving multiple files with dual extension using file adapter

    Hi,
    The scenario where I am implementing requires multiple files of different names to be picked(ABC.txt) and dropped at destination(ABC.txt.pgp) up by my File Sender and Receiver adapters.  Any idea on about how the configuration for receiving multiple files with dual extension for receiver adapter is to be done?
    Note:- currently, The scenario is working fine without dual extension. i.e Its picking all files which starts with ABC and creating at destination as it is. even I configured as ABC.txt.pgp, but its not creating the second extension.
    Thanks in Advance
    Manmadha

    Hi,
    Try to concatenate '.pgp ' to the source file name to create the target file name for the receiver file adapter, by accessing the Adapter Specific Attributes using Java user defined function. This might work.
