How to use Automator to batch convert xls/xlsx files into tab OR pipe delimited text file.

If you have answer, please provide specific and detailed steps.
Situation 1:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT "Tab"
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to TAB-DELIMITED file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is TAB-DELIMITED
Situation 2:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT | (pipe, vertical bar)
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to |-delimited file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is "|"-delimited

If your post is addressed to my response then the answer is you have to write your own or search on-line to see if something exists to do what you want.
As you note there is no pre-built script for this.

This link Convert An Excel Spreadsheet To A Tab Delimited Text File seems to indicate that the function is in Excel already.

Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

You should have no trouble doing this in SSIS. Simply add a data flow with connection managers to an existing .xls file (excel connection manager) and a new .csv file (flat file). Add a source to the xls and destination to the csv, and set the destination
csv parameter "delay validation" to true. Use an expression to define the name of the new .csv file.
In the flat file connection manager, set the column delimiter to the pipe character.

How do I save/export as a TAB or SPACE delimited text file?

Just upgraded from Apple Works to iWorks. The only text exporting option I see is .csv. Comma separation really screws up my needs. Is there a way to export as plain text? TAB or SPACE delimited?

Why not using the good old
--[SCRIPT clipboard2textFile]
on run
set tsv to the clipboard as text
set nomDuFichier to (do shell script "date " & quote & "+P%Y%m%d-%H%M%S" & quote) & ".txt"
set p2d to path to documents folder as text
tell application "System Events"
make new file at end of folder p2d with properties {name:nomDuFichier, file type:"TEXT"}
end tell -- System Events
set leDoc to p2d & nomDuFichier
write tsv to file leDoc
end run
--[/SCRIPT]
I have it installed as:
<startupVolume>:Users:<my account>:Library:Scripts:clipboard2textFile.scpt
No need for an extra application.
Copy to clipboard,
trigger the script from the menu,
the text file is available on the desktop.

How can I use Automator to batch convert files of various formats into pdf files?

I am very much a novice. I need to convert approximately 10,000 documents into pdf format. (No, I'm not exaggerating.) I have searched and found various Applescripts that will do it for Word documents, but have even been unsuccessful using those. Each of my attempts ends up with some sort of error.
The documents are in mixed formats: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OpenOffice (.odt), and .jpeg, I even have some Clarisworks/Appleworks files, but those I'm happy to deal with separately if need be.

How to Use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE for Batch Split

Hi Experts, I have the follow delivery:
Item        Material   Deliv.Qty    Un
10     739911     2     PQT
And I want to obtain this:
Item        Material   Deliv.Qty    Un                            Batch
10     739911     0     PQT
900001     739911     1     PQT          ZZ00060
900002     739911     1     PQT          ZZ00061
But, after using the Bapi I obtained this:
Item        Material   Deliv.Qty    Un                            Batch
10     739911     1,372     PQT

900002     739911     0,314     PQT          ZZ00061
So as you can see the problem is with the "Deliv.Qty". I expected:
Item        Deliv.Qty
10            0
900001     1
900002     1
But I obtained:
Item        Deliv.Qty
10     1,372
900001     0,314
900002     0,314
The parameters that I am using in the Bapi are:

If you have Evernote, you could try quicktate. http://www.quicktate.com
I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
Open TextEdit on a new document
Enable Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
Press the fn-key twice
Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation. You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished.

How to get summary columns in delimited text file

How to get summary columns in delimited text file
I am trying to generate a delimited text file output with delimited_hdr = no.The report is a Group above report with summary columns at the bottom.In the text file the headers are not getting repeated & thats ok.The problem is the summary data is getting repeated for each row of data.Is there a way where i will get all the data & summary data will get displayed only once.I have to import the delimited text file in excel spreadsheet.

Sorry there were a typos :
When I used desformat=DELIMITEDDATA with desttype=FILE, I get error "unknown printer driver DELIMITEDDATA". When you look for help, DELIMITED is not even listed as one of the values for DESTFORMAT. But if you scroll down and look for DELIMITER it says , this works only in conjuction with DESTFORMAT=DELIMITED !!!!!!??!! This is in 9i.
Has this thing worked for anybody ? Can anyone please tell if they were able to suppress the sumary columns or the parent columns of a master-detail data for that matter ?

you can do that by using SQLCMD
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/03/05/sql-server-exporting-query-results-to-csv-using-sqlcmd/
you can also use BCP
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from tempdb.dbo.orders" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "exec usertest.dbo.proctest" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'

How to create a tab-delimited text file?

Hi,
I need to create a tab-delimited text file at presentation server getting content from an internal table. My file should also have a header - also tab-delimited. Data for a header is stored in some work area.
Any ideas how to add tab-delimiter into a text file? Or should I go for a HEX file and use
CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE x VALUE '09'.
and separate my data with this constant instead?
Any thoughts whould be appreciated.
TIA

How do I save a Number file to an delimited text file

I was trying to import all my conatct that I created from Number to iList, I kept on failing, after I did some reaserch, and found out I need to save to an delimited text file. Can anybody help me? Or if anyone can direct me from import an Number file into iList, it would be wonderful, please help.
Thank again

You have a couple of options to convert the data to a tab-delimited file. The easist may be to copy the table from Numbers & paste it into a Pages word processing document. From there you can export it as a plain text file which you can then import.
Jerry,
IList Data is a database app that may be a solution for those moving from AppleWorks. It's more than Bento & less than FileMaker.

Using Automator to Batch Create PDFs

I've been trying to find a way to make an Automator workflow that will take the name of a folder and combine it's files into a PDF with as little manual input as possible and have finally figured out how to do so. I've seen others ask how to do this for a while so I wanted to share how I did it.
Why would you want to create PDFs? If you have scanned books, photos, documents or anything else on your Mac, you can create PDFs out of them. You can then store these in iTunes and either read them using Preview on your Mac or iBooks on your iOS device.
What this workflow will do:
Take a folder with images, get the folder's name, and create a PDF of the images with it's name.
On the next pass of the workflow, it will send the previous folder to the trash.
Create/have a backup of your files!
Create a folder somewhere that you can drop your folders in. Name it Automator Dropbox. You can create one wherever you want, but this workflow was created with Automator Dropbox in mind so you'll need to change it as necessary.
Open Automator and create a new workflow.
Find Finder Items
- Search Automator Dropbox
- [All] of the following are true:
- [Label] is [Red]
This will search for any folders that were done before.
Move Finder Items to Trash
This will move the previous folder/files to the trash.
Ask for Finder Items
- Prompt: [Choose a Folder]
- Start at: Automator Dropbox
- Type: [Folders]
This will ask you to choose the next item to convert to PDF.
Set Value of Variable
- Variable: pdfvariable
This will take the name of the folder you just selected and use it to to rename your PDF.
Label Finder Items
- [Red]
This will mark the folder you're working on for deletion the next time the workflow is ran.
Get Folder Contents
This will grab all the image files within the folder so that it can create a PDF out of them.
Scale Images
- To size (pixels): 1600
This will scale the maximum dimension of your image down (or up) to 1600px. I find this to be the sweet spot for performance on the iPad 3, and it looks just fine. If the maximum dimension of your image is lower than 1600px, I'd create a duplicate workflow of this and leave out this step; otherwise you will be upscaling and your image won't look as good. You can also leave this step out if you want your original image size kept, but on the iPad 3 and below there will be a delay going from page to page.
New PDF From Images
- Save Output to: [Desktop]
- Output File Name: tempname
This will save your finalized PDF to the Desktop. You can change this to whatever you want; I would suggest the Automatically Add to iTunes folder located in [Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Automatically Add to iTunes]. You will find your PDF in the Books category in iTunes.
Rename Finder Items
- [Replace Text]
- Find: tempname in [Full Name]. Ignore Case checked.
- Replace: [pdfvariable] (Drag pdfvariable from the variables window into the text field for "Replace". If you don't see the variables, go to "View > Variables."
You can't just drag the variable into the PDF name field in the step above, so this extra step is necessary. It will rename your PDF with the name of the folder it was created from. It will also add the full file path, which will be taken care of in the next step.
Rename Finder Items

This will delete the name of the path from the name of your PDF. If your working folder is not Documents/Automator Dropbox, change it to whatever that is.
If you're running this workflow on a bunch of folders, you can simply keep your cursor over the workflow's play button and press the right arrow + enter to select the next item in queue. This workflow was made for using a little human interaction as possible, so if anyone has suggestions on how to improve on it please post below.
One last thing - if you're seeing a red folder when you run the workflow to choose a folder, it's because spotlight hasn't indexed it yet and the workflow could not find it to delete it. Just go on to the next item.

Someone (not me) has created an automator workflow that does this, using a shell script that runs the "pstopdf" unix command. I just downloaded it and tested it on 10 .eps files. You will need to edit the first automator action in the workflow to find the eps files you want (by default it looks for all eps files on your computer), but once you do that, it works like a charm! Converted my eps files to pdf's. Of course, once they are pdf files, you can use automator to convert them to whatever format you want.

How to use applescript photoshop batch

Hello, good afternoon.
     I'm trying to make an applescript that will run a batch procedure in photoshop and I don't know how to wirte its code. Let me show my script :
set pasta_evento to choose folder with prompt "Select folder of the event: "
set pasta_tratadas to (pasta_evento as string) & "Tratadas:" as alias
set arq_log to (pasta_evento as string) & "Log_Erros.txt"
tell application "Finder"
          if not (exists file arq_log) then
make new file at pasta_evento with properties {name:"Log_Erros.txt"}
          end if
end tell
set Fotos to files of pasta_evento as alias list
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6"
activate
                              set display dialogs to never
                              batch "13 x 19 + sharpen" from files Fotos from "My Actions" with options {destination:folder, destination folder:pasta_tratadas, error file:alias arq_log}
end tell
I think I have two problems. I realized that if I change the instruction as below, it works. So, there's something wrong with the variable Fotos and with the batch options (I tried to read the photoshop applescript ref, but I don't know what's wrong.
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6"
activate
                              set display dialogs to never
                              batch "13 x 19 + sharpen" from files {"Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0002.JPG", "Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0025.JPG"} from "My Actions"
Could anybody help me correct this code ? I'm not definetively an expert!
Tks !

Hi Muppet, tks for the help !
     I tried to feed it strings by many ways friend, but I as I told you I'm not an expert and couldn't make it work... So sad ...
     When I run :
batch "13 x 19 + sharpen" from files Fotos from "My Actions"
In the results it comes :
batch "13 x 19 + sharpen" from files {alias "Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0002.JPG", alias "Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0025.JPG"} from "My Actions"
And it doesn't work, Photoshop opens a dialog informing : There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop.
When I write the alias list manually it starts the batch command.
batch "13 x 19 + sharpen" from files {"Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0002.JPG", "Disk:Users:Me:Pictures:Macros:Tratadas:0025.JPG"} from "My Actions"
In the Applescript Photoshop Ref:

When I try to use the batch options Photoshop it says the batch command is invalid or not supported.

I'm loosing my hopes ...
