How to open renamed files?
Hi
I rename selected files and after that want to open them.
For my purpose renaming works well like this:
tell application "Finder"
set FilesToRENAME to selection
display dialog "Change what?" default answer ""
set ChangeFROM to text returned of the result
display dialog "Change to?" default answer ""
set ChangeTO to text returned of the result
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {ChangeFROM}
set theCount to count of FilesToRENAME
repeat with x from 1 to theCount
try
set theName to name of item x of FilesToRENAME
set FirstNamePart to first text item of theName
set LastNamePart to second text item of theName
set newName to FirstNamePart & ChangeTO & LastNamePart
set name of item x of FilesToRENAME to newName
on error errStr number theNumber
activate
display dialog "Error in changing the Name " & theNumber & return & errStr ¬
& return & "Step " & x
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
end tell
Now newly renamed files don't belong anymore to FilesToRENAME. So how to point to those files now (how to make a new list from those renamed files)? I was thinking to get a path to each file inside the repeat loop and replace the name, but couldn't do it.
Thank you for any help.

Pierre's method is pretty clever, but if you don't happen to be using a Finder selection (choose file for example), you can also use the interesting fact that an alias keeps track of an item even if it is moved or renamed.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- tell application "Finder" to set filesToRename to selection as alias list
set filesToRename to (choose file with multiple selections allowed)
set changeFrom to text returned of (display dialog "Change what?" default answer "")
set changeTo to text returned of (display dialog "Change to?" default answer "")
set renamedFiles to {} -- this will be the renamed files
repeat with aFile in filesToRename
set aFile to the contents of aFile
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of aFile
try
set tempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {changeFrom}
set firstNamePart to first text item of theName
set lastNamePart to second text item of theName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
set newName to firstNamePart & changeTo & lastNamePart
tell application "Finder"
set name of aFile to newName -- aFile points to the original file
update aFile -- give Finder a chance to catch up
set the end of renamedFiles to aFile -- aFile now points to the renamed file
end tell
on error errStr number theNumber
activate me
display alert "Error " & theNumber & " in changing the Name" message errStr
end try
end repeat
renamedFiles --> aliases to the renamed files
</pre>

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh JainOne way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.

How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10
Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?
Hi,
The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
Which operating system are you running on?

How to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I
just bought Nikon's Coolpix P7800. It says you can shoot in Raw. Now I want to open these files in LR, just like I'm used to with my SLR's. But Nikon uses the NRW-format for Raw and LR says it doesn't recognise the files. Does someone know if there's a way to convert and work with these files in LR 4?
Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3
Kind regardsEut van Berkum

How to open aspx. files in OS 10.8?
is this the right place to ask how to open aspx. files in OS 10.8.2?
Unfortunately aspx is a generic extender - it is a report generated by a server running Windows .net - it isn't an extender that actually tells what kind of file it is or what kind of data it holds. That's something you either have to know before hand so you can force the proper program to open it (or change the aspx extender to its real extender) or you have to find out what the file is.
At work our system's report generator gives everything an aspx extender. When I generate a report I decide whether it should be a PDF, Excel file, etc. After downloading the file I change its extender appropriately. -

How to open TIF files in iPad
The Mail ap can handle TIFF files for viewing purposes. They can be saved to the Photos app (from Mail, or other apps such as DropBox), but I beleive they get converted to JPG in the process. There are also a number of third party apps that can at least view TIFF files.
If you could describe exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish, someone may be able to provide more detailed assistancce. -

How to open windat files which come along with E mails from microsoft users ?
That is priceless, "you can ignore winmail.dat...." No I can't. They are often a drawing or purchase order I require for a job.
I am running outlook on my mac and I still can't open them. All my other devices open these attachments no problem (none of them are apple). The people sending me these attachments are using macs. The only thing that has changed since I started encountering this problem is my hardware. I still use outlook, I have the same email address. The PDF attachments are being sent by the same people in the same way. When I had an iphone they opened on there too. Why do all the people on this forum keep blaming microsoft. Why can't macs read microsoft RTF, much like gmail or yahoo manage to do.
I cannot go asking busy project managers to send me attachments in a different format simply because I bought what I thought to be a decent computer.
