Importing a text list of url's

I have a text based list of url's (thanks francine!) and I would like to import them in some ordered way into Safari.
I have them organized by category and ideally I would like to bring them all into one folder which holds a number of subfolders.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks

Hi Andy.
Always great to get some help.
So I gather you are saying I can just multiple select the urls in pages and drag them to a folder?
I see, on the second part you are just saying I can drag and drop from the results of that little script francine hooked me up with and skip the pages part entirely...?
<sigh> I feel like a kid in a candy store now that I am firmly back to the mac...
Thanks!

Automate combining PDF files based on a text list of URL's

I'm wondering how I could automate the combination of PDF files into one, using a list a URL's in a text file (one URL per line, each pointing to a PDF file).
I need to periodically rebuild a combination of PDF files, with the URL's staying the same, but the files behind getting updated. I'm not a Javascript developer, so I'm doing that "manually" by copying and pasting each URL into the "Combine Files" window, but it would be great if I could get Acrobat to read them off a text file.
Thanks!
Corrected typo

I have developed a script that can do just that, but with locally saved PDF
files:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2009/10/combine-pdf-files-from-text-list.html
It might be possible to adjust it to do what you describe. If you're
interested, contact me personally by PM or at try6767 at gmail dot com.

Dynamically update values in Text Lists for typed measures

Hi,
We have an alpha-numeric data column in our fact table. This is a data coulmn and we want to store its content as data value in one of the measures. The value in this column is highly dynamic and it is not restricted to a fixed set of values. To store the values we need to use typed measures, but is there way in which I can define the text list itself dynamically? Meaning, we will build the text list dynamically as and when the data comes in the fact table. Is this possible. We are using 11.1.2.1.
Regards,
Krishna

I don't think we have a MaxL (I can be worng) to update Text Lists. You can try creating .slt file dynamically and then manually import them before data load.
.slt will have entries like
#MISSING NoData
#OUTOFRANGE OutOfRange

How do I search a spreadsheet for a list of URL's | then search those URL's for keywords | save the output? (Oh yeah..., and schedule it)

Fist, I should mention I am not a programmer but am eagerly learning powershell!
I am looking for an automated solution to accomplish what I am currently doing manually. I need a script that would combine the following:
Reach out to a list of websites (probably a loop of some sort since the list will come out of a spreadsheet which could contain 1 or 100 different sites)
Search each page for a specific word or words (not contained in the spreadsheet though that may make it more scalable)
Save the URL of the site(s) that contained the keywords to one text file (versus the multiple .html files I am creating today)
Have the output contain which words it found on which site.
If not overly complicated, I would like to schedule this to recur once a week.
A working script would be ideal, but even the resources that show me how to incorporate each element would suffice.
I have had success pulling down the full content of the listed pages and saving them to a directory, which requires manual intervention.
So far this works, but it's not scalable:
     Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
     $web = New-Object Net.WebClient
     $web.DownloadString("http://sosomesite/54321.com") | Out-File "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html"
     $web.DownloadString("http://sosomesite/54321.com") | Out-File "C:\savestuffhere\65432.html"
     Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\savestuffhere\" -Include *.html -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "Keyword 1"
In otherwords, I have to manually replace the "http://sosomesite/54321.com" and "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html" when the URL changes to .\65432.com and the output name to match. That works fine when it's a couple sites, but again,
is not scalable.
Then, to see if any of the saved file's contain the keyword(s), I have to search the directory for the keyword which I am using:
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\savestuffhere\54321.html" -Include *.html -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "Keyword 1"

Hi Sure-man,
Sorry for the delay reply.
To automatically Reach out to all urls, you can list all urls in a txt file "d:\urls.txt" like this:
http://sosomesite/54321.com
http://sosomesite/65432.com
Then please try the script below to save the URL of the site(s) that contained the keywords to one text file "d:\outputurls.txt":
$urls = get-content d:\urls.txt
foreach($url in $urls){
$results = $web.DownloadString("$url")
$matches = $results | Select-String -Pattern "keyword1","keyword2"
#Extract the text of the messages, which are contained in segments that look like keyword1 or keyword2.
if ($matches.Matches){
$Object = New-Object PSObject
$Object | add-member Noteproperty keyword $matches.Matches.value
$Object | add-member Noteproperty URL $url
$output+=$Object}
$output|Out-File d:\outputurls.txt
If you want to schduled this script in Task Scheduler once a week, please save the script above as .ps1 file, and follow this article:
Weekend Scripter: Use the Windows Task Scheduler to Run a Windows PowerShell Script
If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.
I hope this helps.

Importing Arabic text from an XML file

Importing text from an XML file to appear as text in Flash
works in English, however if the text I want to import is in
Arabic, when I test the movie there is no text at all.
Is there some particular syntax to preface the Arabic text?
I'll want to import text from XML in other languages too.
(French)
I'd cut and pasted some Arabic text into the XML file that
displays pictures and text in the "slideshow.fla" (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/jpeg_slideshow_xml03.ht ml)
Substituting Arabic text for English text, editing the XML
file with Dreamweaver.
Any ideas as to how I might achieve my objective of importing
Arabic text into Fash?
I'd started developing my prototpe in Macromedia Director 7,
and then Director MX, but I have not found a suitable Arabic font
that I can embed that will allow me to display Arabic fonts in
Adobe Director. I have the Arabic text in a Word document.
I've dicovered that my Flash MX Pro and Dreamweaver both
support Arabic fonts, but I want to import text from an XML file.
I'd prefer using cast libraries and cast members, but I don't
know of an equivalent in Flash to what I'm comfortable with in
Director.

Oh so many questions. You probably aren't going to like the
answers. I have Flash MX04 pro (aka Flash 7) and things made a big
jump between MX (aka 6) and MX04. If you only have MX, there might
not be a way to do this. All my advice is based upon MX04 or
higher.
It is possible to do complex languages in Flash. My
experience is with Hindi and I've helped a few folks here with
Arabic.
You won't be able to use text from Microsoft Word – at
least I don't think so. The XML file will need to be saved in the
UTF-8 format. I think Word uses its own scheme and won't work. But
I'm not a Word expert. Something like Text Edit (Mac) or WordPad
(PC) should be able to save a UTF-8 file.
The next problem is you mention "suitable Arabic font that I
can embed." AFAIK, you can't embed any of the complex scripts in
Flash. You just have to rely on the end user having appropriate
fonts installed and enabled. Most operating systems from 2000 on do
have this – although some folks like to remove them to save
space.
Next issue will be line composing. I've found that when using
anything above the normal Latin range that Flash suddenly forgets
how to make a line fit into a text area. It will just break things
in the middle of words and not even notice the spaces between
words. I've written a little snippet of code that "composes" the
lines. It works well with Hindi and folks here have used it with
Arabic and not come back saying that it doesn't work. Search the
forums (both the Flash and Actionscript) if you can't find it I'll
dig it out when I get home.
So here is the checklist:
Make sure the XML is saved in UTF-8
Import the XML file
In Testing environment go Debug–>List variables.
Does it show up correctly there?
Does it show at all in a text field?
Use the "composer" to make the lines break.

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Hello,
I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
It would be great if someone could help me out with this!

To help figure out what's wrong, you can use an absolute path to your SWF files. (Such as "C:/Program Files/My Project/MySWF.swf") If the error goes away, then the filename is correct and there is simply some confusion as to where the local path is. Remember that the parent project (your main.swf) should be in the exact same directory as the SWFs being loaded)

Text List Highlights Area of an Image

Hi All,
I have an image of a printed circuit board with many components. I would like to help people find those components by having a text list to the right of the image, then if you click or hover over the text, the component is highlighted in the circuit board image.
Another way of looking at it: I have a map of the United States with an alphabetic list of states to the right. When you click or hover on a states name, the state is highlighted on the image.
What is important to note is that I'm not hovering over the image. I'm string help people locate something on the image by having an alphabetical list that will highlight something on an image so they can find it.
How would I do this? What CS6 product do I even start with. I assume dreamweaver? Can I do this with a CSS rather than JS?
Thanks!
Mike

This image is basically this except with a few more components (about 100).
http://www.hairballaudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Elements_PCB.jpg
I actually found exactly what I want to do here:
Demonstration of boundList feature - JSFiddle
Seems like I can create the image map in Dreamwever then control and make a list with the script.

Bulk Import into contact list error.

Hi,
We are testing out the bulk import into contact list feature and we are getting an error that we can't resolve. We followed the directions from the documentation http://topliners.eloqua.com/docs/DOC-6918

Importing Styled Text from Word

For a publication, writers submit stories in Word format, with the Normal paragraph style set to Times New Roman. Within the paragraphs are numerous instances of Italic and Bold.
My InDesign file has the Normal style set to ITC Garamond Light. When importing, the ID style definition for normal replaces that of Word, and the Times New Roman Bold comes in as ITC Garamond Bold. But the TNR Italic produces the Missing Fonts warning, because, of course, there is no ITC Garamond Italic. My solution has been to then run Find Font to replace the one Italic with the other.
But I've been wondering if there might be a more seamless way to replace the font automatically?

When you are importing the text, click "show import options" then click "Customize Style import" and then press "style mapping". A dialog box will come up that let's you map the Word style to your ID style. If there is a style in the list that isn't in your ID file, you can go backwards, and create that style the way you want it. Then, go back to theh import options and map theh styles accordingly.

Using automator to download list of URLs

I have a list of URLs that I want to use automator to download. The URLs link to PDF files on a website.
I am using the following workflow:
"Get Specified Text (putting the list of URLs in here)" -> "Filter paragraphs (filtering out paragraphs beginning http://)" -> "Download URLs".
The URLs are getting passed and filtered correctly but the files that are downloaded are generic html files (no specific name, just a number) and not the PDFs. I can paste each URL into the browser individually and it will download the PDF so I know the URLs are correct. How do I get it to download the PDFs instead of these html files?
Message was edited by: bercg

Is there something else on the web page, such as javascript or formatting around the PDF? You might try getting the links directly with something like:
1) *Get Specified URLs*
2) *Get Link URLs from Webpages*
3) *Filter URLs* -- filter for just the PDF file links
4) *Download URLs*

Select list with URL redirect - not showing the same display value selected

Hi
I have several select lists with URL direct on my page similar to this
for p6_queries item the LOV is
select QUERY_NAME display_value, 'f?p='
|| :APP_ID
|| ':'
|| 6
|| ':'
|| :APP_SESSION
|| '::::p6_queries:'||QUERY_ID||'#qtables' return_value from .....
I am assigning a return value to the item p6_queries. But when the page is redirected, I dont see the selected value as selected in the list. Instead it goes to the null display text. Can any one help me on this?

The problem is that your setting the item value to value of query_id. But your select list has the value of each item as the URL so it will never match and show you what you selected.
The best thing to do may be to change your select list from a "redirect to URL" to "submit page", make it a normal query:
select QUERY_NAME display_value, QUERY_ID return_value ...
Then create an "On Submit: Before Computation" branch:
Target Type: URL
URL Target: f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P6_QUERIES:&P6_QUERIES.#testing
Condition Type: Request = Expression 1
Expression 1: P6_QUERIES

Log and Transfer : any way to import a batch list?

HI
Anyone know if it's possible to import a Batch list of In/Out points (ie a txt file from Excel) to automatically populate the Log and Transfer window? (as can be done in the Log and Capture Window)
It would help reduce the amount of data produced when converting from AVHHD.
There's a great little app called ProxyMill that generates small QT Versions of AVCHD file with Timecode Burned In ... so offline style capture lists are certainly possible, if only I could import the resultant data!
Thanks in advance
Lee

Importing a Batch List
You can import a batch list into Final Cut Pro and use it to capture clips to edit or to create a sequence originally done on another editing system. The frame rate of the batch list is determined by the currently selected sequence preset in the Audio/Video Settings window.
Note: A batch list must be a text file. In some cases, you may need to add the .txt file extension to your filename to ensure that Final Cut Pro can import your file.
To import a batch list
In the Browser, open an existing bin, or create a new bin to store the offline clips and open it.
For more information, see “Organizing Footage in the Browser.”
Choose File > Import > Batch List.
Note: The frame rate of the current sequence preset appears in the Import Batch List command name. For example, if a DV NTSC preset is selected, the command is named Import Batch List at 29.97 fps.
Locate the batch list, select it, then click Choose.
The logged clips appear in the Browser as offline clips that you need to capture.
You can capture the clips all at one time by doing a batch capture. For more information, see “Batch Capturing Clips.”
Note: Make sure you have all the source tapes associated with the batch list before starting the capture process.
If you’re having a problem importing a batch capture list, check the format of the text file. Final Cut Pro does not support importing RTF (Rich Text Format) text files. If you have an RTF file you need to import, open it in a text editing application such as TextEdit and save it as a plain text document first.
