How to open a URL with a "#" in Automator?

I am trying to open a url in Automator using the "Display Webpages" action. The URL I need to open has a hash within it -- e.g. http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|testing. Automator URL encodes the # to %23. I can't figure out how to prevent it from escaping the anchor charater. FWIW, the terminal command...
/usr/bin/open "http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|Text"
does the exact same thing. Anyone know how to stop the # from being encoded?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem but I don't have a bar. I'm trying to use this URL "http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/" but the script changes the # to %23. Any ideas? Thanks
Edit:
OK, that's starting to get weird. I tried using this URL instead "http://translate.google.com/#auto%7Cen%7C". When I put it directly in the browser it works which means that it is correct. When I use it through Automator it keeps changing the # to %23. Now the weird part. If I put #fr like the original poster it doesn't change it. It only change it with #auto. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

How to open an URL with PLSQL FUNCTION?

Hi friends,
I want to know if EBS has a package to open an URL like this xxpck.openhtml("http://www.oracle.com")

Hi Ricky,
So your question is more about discoverer calling a PL/SQL package to create data in temp table which is then reported on?
There are a couple of posts on this issue already, where the solution is something like having two worksheets in the workbook, the first that executes the "setup" calling a PL/SQL function through calculation or similar logic, this function includes loading the tables (and could include parameters) the second that reports on the data.
Rod West has posted solutions around this, check out posts like:
Re: CALL PL/SQL Procedure in Discoverer 4i
Re: Passing Parameters to a discoverer folder using Note 282249.1
If you are not talking about this, but viewing some output from a concurrent program in the Oracle Apps Web Forms session, then you could create a page that submits a request, waits for it, then displays the output, but this is not recommended due to the concurrent manager queueing functionality.
With regards to calling a web page in an OAF (or forms) page, then the responsibility lies with the OAF page or Forms page not a backend PL/SQL function (although you could code PL/SQL to get the page and pass back as a clob or something, but not or efficient).

How to open PDF URL with highlighting search term ?

Hello
I am trying to open a PDF URL in a browser and would like the PDF to open at the page coataining the first hit of a specific term and at the same time highlighting all occurences found in the document.
Apparently one way to do it is to add this #search=termsearched to the URL such as in http://thePdfUrl#search=termsearched
However this seems to work in some cases but not all the time. Kind of issues I am seeing are:
1 - Once you open the PDF the search string does not get highlighted in some cases and the left nave (search window) does not come in focus as a default view.)
2 - Another issues identified it is striping the 1st and last chars from the keyword.
3- Initial search doesn't seem to always work...Only if you open the pdf a second time the find funcionality seems to work as expected.
Is there a better way to do this and to avoid these inconsistencies and have a more robust behaviour ?
Thanks

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov

How to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?

Hi Any idea how to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?
I forgot to add and set the condition of the type for this program.
If the program is an application, it would close straight away.
If it is still labview work, it will go straight to editing program without closing.
So I need to recover, open it and make some changes.

Put the VI in a project and open it from there, then it shouldn't autorun. You can use App.kind property of application to decide whether to close or not.

How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

Hi All,
If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
Thanks,
Venkat

You can do it one of two ways:
1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
=CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
Format that as a number.

You get a file not found. Is this possible?

How to open iCloud documents with ios8

hi,
i recently updated my iPad to ios8. and when it asked me to install iCloud drive i said yes.
Now when i open pages on my iPad, there are no documents.
when i go to iCloud.com on my mac i can see those documents, so they still exist.
how can i open my 'iCloud' documents on pages on my iPad?
most forums say i need to install the beta version of os yosemite, whom installation is not working those days.
the only thing i can do was to open a document on iCloud.com on my mac and send it to me via email. from my iPad i could read that email and open the document in pages. But this work only with small documents, a document bigger than 20 Mo, cannot be sent via email ( i'm using gmail)

You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

How to open a URL that begins with news://

Hi, everyone!
It seems a silly question, but how to open it?
URL is here: news://news.gmane.org:119/gmane.editors.lyx.general

That's a URL for a usenet group. Those aren't used very much anymore (except by some true diehards), and it's likely your ISP doesn't even provide the service directly, though there are ways to access them via the web. In your case, click here.
If you wanted to configure your browser to handle them, well, it would help to know what browser you're using. For Firefox, you could try the instructions here, but I'd guess it wasn't worth it, unless you had to deal with such links often.

How to open text URL in the new tab

Hi guys,
We know that when we click on a hyperlink it will directly open the linked web site, e.g.
www.bing.com
But sometimes we may find some URL in plain text that we couldn't click on it, e.g. www.bing.com
I'll have to select the URL and copy&paste it to a new tab to open it, this is time wasting.
The time IE 9 came out, I found a wonderful add-on, Open URL in New Tab (with Preview)
This will do the trick to open the text URL in the new tab by right click on it.
http://www.iegallery.com/us/addons/detail.aspx?id=3614
But I don't like two things of it.
1st, it will try to preview the web site when I using it which is undesired.
2nd, it will open the link through another site and then jump back to the link I need to open. But I'd like to open the link directly. Which will open the link more quickly also save my time.
Questions:
Is there any other way to open the plain text URL directly? I mean without copy and past it to another page.
It would be great if I can open the URL by dragging it like the other...

Is there any other way to open the plain text URL directly? I mean without copy and past it to another page.
In these forums? If you are using the NNTP Bridge you could view your message in your News reader's Plain text mode and then see that your two examples worked equivalently.   <eg>
Otherwise, in general, I agree there are some pretty obvious "accelerators" which could have been provided.
I suspect much of the problem will be due to "security".   E.g. Windows used to have a functionality called text scraps, where you could select some text and drag and drop it just about anywhere to create a scrap file.   That's
not working for me any more either.   If it were we could at least drag it to the Address bar and press Enter...

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.
Cheers... Rick
