How to make terminal repeat sentences
In the terminal application, I use the "echo" command line a lot to get Terminal to repeat sentences that I input. I was wondering if it is possible to make the "Echo" command automatially repeat pre-set sentences. For example, I want Terminal to say "Good Morning" in the morning and "Good Night" at night. Is this possible? Thnaks in advance.
You question is vague so giving a specific solution is difficult.
What times exactly do you want the commands to run? Why do you need to do this in the Terminal?
The absolute easiest way to do this is to use Automator and create a calendar event. Have the workflow run a shell or Applescript that speaks the sentence you want.
For example
then schedule this to run when you want it to. Same for Good Night.
Thee are many other ways to schedule a job to run under OS X but launchd (see man page) is the prefered way but likely overkill for what you are asking.

How to make horizantal repeating table?
Hi All,
I just want to make horizantal repeating table in InfoPath form. In brief, if insert new item in repeating table it should add next to first table not one by one.
How to achieve this, thanks in advance!Hello,
It should work in IP 2013 as well. Also make sure that you are designing client form because it does not works in browser based form.

How to make multiple repeating pages for XML child nodes
I have a schema that has many levels, and I am trying to have some of the child data print on separate pages.

I want to place the data from A and B on page 1 (A is header fields and B is a table showing B1, B2 etc), and then per B, place data from C items on their own pages (repeat as necessary).
So the page output would be:
Page 1
A:1 (header items)
B table
B1
B2
Page 2
A:1 (header items)
B id: 1
C data for B1C1
Page 3
A:1 (header items)
B id: 1
C data for B1C2
Page 4
A:1 (header items)
B id: 1
C data for B1C3
Page 5
A:1 (header items)
B id: 2
C data for B2C1
Page 6
A:1 (header items)
B id: 2
C data for B2C2
Page 7
A:1 (header items)
B id: 2
C data for B2C3
Page 8
A:2 (header items)
etc.
I am hoping that with this quick sketch someone can tell me how to accomplish the placement of the C items.For the time being, I can only respond to Pages for iOS. OS X I'll need to check when I get home (or perhaps someone else will beat me to it). You may wish to post in the Pages for Mac forum for better exposure.
In Pages for iOS you are limited to a single header and footer. There is no Section structure so no way to do different headers/Footers for different pages (as you can do in MS word for example). To modify the Header and insert the text you want: Tap the Tools icon (wrench in upper right), then Document Set up. Tap in the header field, then tap and hold to use the menu to insert pages numbers, then type the text you need.
Quite possibly. Check the app store. Or you may be able to set this up in Pages for OS X and import it into Pages on the iPad. I'm not certain the sections will import however.
Also consider using a different app, such as word for iOS or any of the numerous other word processing apps available. -
How to make a repeating section by clicking on a 'button'
Hello,
I am creating a form and there is a secion for 'Add a Dependent'. The form only show enough fields for one dependent. I have created a button that says 'Add a Dependent'. When the user clicks on this button I would like the section to show up again, asking for the information for the new dependent. Also, there will be a cancel button so that if they click on 'add a dependent' too many times, they can cancel each one individually if needed.The purpose for this is because it will take up much less space in the form. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
NikHere is what I did for making the Subform repeat..
Selected the Dependants subform and went to the Binding tab, checked the cehckbox "Repeat Subform each Data Item"..
Placed the below code in the click event of the Add Dependant button.
Dependants.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
Placed the below code in the Click event of the "X" button:
if
(this.parent.index>0)
Registration.content.Dependants.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
Placed the below code in the Initialize event of the "X" button:
if(this.parent.index==0)
this.presence = "hidden";
Let me know if you have any issues..
Thanks

How do I make a repeat pattern in Photoshop CC?
I am trying to make a seamless repeat pattern in photoshop. I used to be able to do this in older versions of Photoshop by adjusting the position of my artboard in Filter -> Other -> Offset.
Now I can't seem to adjust the offset by adjusting the pixels according to the size of my artboard, but I have to choose a pixel number between -1182 and +1182 instead?
For instance, if my artboard is 100px I used to be able to set it to 50px so the artboard shifts halfway to the right. Now I have to set it at (1182 : 4=) 295px to get my artboard to that same position.
Plus, when I use 'wrap around' the objects in my artboard don't appear on the other side of the artboard as should be the case.
What is going on? Does anyone know how I can easily make a repeat pattern in Illustrator now? Is there something like 'Pattern maker" for Photoshop cc, like the one that used to be available for older versions of PS but is now disabled for Photoshop CC?
Thanks a bunch!https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS546US546&ion=1&espv= 2&ie=UTF-8&q=photoshop%20tutor…

Calendar event - how to make it to repeat it self?
Hi,
I was surprised to say that I added a calendar event and I can't make to repeat itself.
For example, I'm using this because I have to take some medicine every day in the morning and I always use reminder for this, to be sure that I take it So it is not a event reminder, which I would like o repeat itself.
I didn't found anything for this setting. Did anyone find such a thing?
