How to Open Find/Change with menuAction

Hi,
Read the question carefully I'm asking how to open the Find/Change
dialog, not how to toggle it.
Toggling is easy enough:
app.menuActions.itemByName("$ID/Find/Change...").invoke();
But if it is open, this will close it, and vice versa.
I'm wondering if there's any way to specifically make sure it's opened?
Thanks,
Ariel

Hi Ariel,
This probably won't help but see https://forums.adobe.com/message/4413557#4413557
If you could perform some action that will fail if the panel is closed then you could use a try catch to determine its state.
I'll leave it to you to think of what that action would be.

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.
Clement
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

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.

HT201365 If my phone is stolen, how do I find it with find my find a phone activated?

If my IPhone is stolen how do I find it with my find a phone activated?

On another iOS device, you can use the Find My iPhone app and your iCloud login and password. Or, on a computer, you can use a web browser and log in to your iCloud account and use the app there to try to locate it.
Note that to be trackable, it must be powered on, and it must have an active data connection (wifi or cellular - either one but it needs to be connected to the internet).
If anyone tries to restore it, with iOS 7, they will be locked out without your iCloud login appleID and password.

How to use Find Change to add FC in front of all item numbers?

Hello,
I am using Indesign CS5 on iMac, running OS 10.8.3.
I designed a product catalog that has 148 pages. Now I need to save the same design and make a new catalog for our wholesalers. On the wholesalers catalog I need to change the item numbers and add FC in front of each item number. How can I use find change to find each item and change them with FC in front of the item numbers? The following are a few examples of the item numbers:
LED-4042 I want to change it to FCLED-4042
UA-42 I want to change it to FCUA-42
SC-110 change it to FCSC-110
KN-10 change it to FCKN-10
etc....
I am hoping there is a fast way to find and change these. I was looking in to GREP, but I could not figure how to do this.
Thanks,
Omar

One way would be to just run it and then *remove* any double FC's -- but GREP can do even more! One of its many functions is to scan ahead for the presence or absence of certain text, and only act when it is (or it is not) there. This is called "lookbehind" (before the text you want to match) and "lookahead" (after the text you want to match).
In this case, you want to find a phrase starting with capitals, but NOT the exact string "FC". That's a job for Negative Lookahead -- Only Match If Not.
Try this: search for
\b(?!FC)\u+-\d+\b
... the Replace With stays the same.

[JS CS3] How to load Find/Change dialog?

Hello,
Below is a script that uses GREP to find straight apostrophies and then change them to smart (curly) ones. The script invokes the Find/Change dialog so that the user can see what she or he is doing.
However, if the user last used the Find/Change dialog in the TEXT mode, that is the mode that appears. I want the script to go to the GREP mode. I see that there is code for app.loadFindChangeQuery(queryName, searchMode), but I have no idea what the "queryName" is and how to use it in this script.
Thanks for any help.
Tom
theGrepLoader("~'", "~]");
function theGrepLoader(grepFindIt, grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    app.menuActions.item("Find/Change...").invoke();
}//end theGrepLoader

Thanks, Peter!
I appreciate your help but I have found another solution. I am amazed at my own stupidity sometimes. You see, I do my scripting in a very lame sort of way because I have never used Javascript outside of InDesign. As such, I find myself at a disadvantage because the documentation that Adobe provides assumes that you are aware of many of the basics. Case in point: I have always had trouble manipulating strings because I NEVER KNEW that you could search and replace strings! I just could not find examples of this in the Adobe documentation. So here I was in some cases adding temporary textFrames so I could get to my strings as text contents and then removing the temporary textFrames at the end of the script. In this particular case I needed to merge several paragraphs into one paragraph. Now that I know how to search & replace strings, it is so simple to strip away all the paragraph returns (which are included in text contents). I am learning, albeit rather slowly. Thanks again.
Regards,
Len Swierski

How to open TXT file with excel 2007

How to open a file with a link ?

I am using servlets to design an application.
The application supports uploading and downloading of .DOC and .RTF files.
My problem is that I am opening an uploaded file via a link.
OPen File
The above is also working fine and opens the file in the IE browser.
But my problem is that I want to open the file with MS-Word...as is done on many resume-building websites.
1) How am I supposed to do that ?
2) Can I specify ContentType="application/msword" in a link ?
Please Help !!

I did the foll. w.r.t a docbase.
A docbase stores documents and assigns an unique id to each one. The foll. is a code snippet that opens a document's contents in a browser.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
Connection conn = null;
Statement stm;
ServletOutputStream sos = null;
ResultSet res;
// .... get id of document u want to open
query = "select id from .. where object_name = ' xx' .."
res= stm.executeQuery(query);
Blob blob = res.getBlob("_content"); // this will get content of document identified by id
int blobLen = (int)blob.length();
//the foll. is the part u need..
if (blobLen > 0) {
InputStream contents = blob.getBinaryStream();
response.setContentType("application/msword"); // MS Word
byte[] buf = new byte[blobLen];
int length = -1;
       while ((length = contents.read(buf)) != -1){
          sos = response.getOutputStream();
          sos.write(buf,0,blobLen);
sos.flush();
System.out.println("Doc Received");
contents.close();
res.close();
conn.close();
}
