InDesign Script to find images w/ prefix code, place img on page along with file name.

Hello,
I'm looking for an InDesign script that will prompt me for a code/text, this code/text will be the prefix of images in the sever, and then return the images found with this prefix by placing them on the document page and also display their file names in a text box. Is there such a script out there that anyone recommends. Thank you for your help. I'm on a Mac, using InDesign CS6, Javascript or any other would do.

Poweshell script to parse a XML document to get all Leaf level nodes with Node names in CSV

Hi Experts,
I want to write a Powershell script to parse a XML document to get all Leaf level nodes with Node names in CSV
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Need to display this as
CD_Tiltle, CD_ARTIST, CD_COUNTRY, CD_COMPANY, CD_PRICE, CD_YEAR
Empire Burlesque, Bob Dylan,USA,Columbia,10.90,1985
and so on..
I do not want to hard code the tag names in the script.
current example is 2 level hierarchy XML can be many level till 10 max I assume
in that case the csv file field name will be like P1_P2_P3_NodeName as so on..
Thanks in advance

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE?

Huh? If you want something like your browser's "view source" command, simply use a URLConnection and read in the data from the URL in question. If the HTML page is instead locally on your machine, use a FileInputStream. There's no magic invovled either way.

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?
I am coding an application.one module of that application is given below:
The first part of the application is to connect our application to the existing HTML form.
This module would make a connection with the HTML page. The HTML page contains the coding for the Form with various elements. The form may be a simple form with one or two fields or a complex one like the form for registering for a new Bank Account or new email account.
The module will first connect through the HTML page and will fetch the HTML code into a Text File so that the code can be further processed.
Could any body provide coding hint for that

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese。eg： http://127.0.0.1:8134/hls-vod/你好.mp4.m3u8.
How does it support Chinese path?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Concatenate sysdate with file name in shell script

Hi,
I have one shell script which i am using to transfer data(SFTP).
Now I have one requirment to use sysdate along with the file name as the file name for the data being transfered.
script is like this...
function connect
sftp $USER@$HOST <<END_SCRIPT
lcd $FILE_DIR
if [ $FILE="PO" ] then
quote site recfm=fb
quote site lrecl=230
pwd
put $FILE 'OPENPO'
fi
quit
END_SCRIPT
Can any one tell how i can concatenate sysdate with the file name (put $FILE 'OPENPO')?
Thanks in Advance,
RR

it gets even easier with the 'scp' command.
please try to use the "code" tags. it is very well possible the forum software did transform parts of your script.
to get into 'code mode': put { c o d e } on a line (without the spaces), then the code, then { c o d e } again to switch back to normal mode.

Indesign script to find and replace from external excel file

I have been asked to update an existing price list (set up as lots of small tables) in Indesign (500+ pages). I have been given a new Excel spreadsheet with the product codes and new prices. I am looking for some assistance on finding or creating a script that can do such a thing if at all possible to speed up the process over just copying and pasting. Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction?

1. Your Excel conversion to FindChangeList format idea seems okay, apart from one thing: both findWhat and changeTo strings should have double quotes around them. As they are now,
grep {findWhat:lang1"} {changeTo:"lang2} {incl...(etc.)
the opening one after findWhat and the closing one after changeTo are missing.
2. Your first line contains 2 definitions. Each separate definition should be on a line of its own. (This might occur elsewhere as well, didn't check.)
3. Any double quotes inside strings will cause problems. Precede them with a backslash to 'escape' them and convert them to a literal character. I found this one:
"(for IC5/8"V)"
-- change to
"(for IC5/8\"V)"
4. Some of your strings start with double double quotes:
changeTo:""(MITM刀具见254页 ...
5. To prevent your problem with this order
grep {findWhat:Inserts"} ...
grep {findWhat:Inserts Ordering Code System"} ...
sort your Excel list alphabetically, case preserving, in reverse order.
You probably also want wholeWord:true, and caseSensitive:true.
Hope this helps!

Images added to page have wrong file name

I've been using iWeb ever since it came out and thought I knew everything I needed to know but am running into an unusual issue.
I have a folder of images I call my originals. I copy them and place them into another folder called large. I run an Automator action to scale the images down to 750, rename the images large-001aa.jpg and also create a corresponding thumbnail folder and files. When I drag and drop these images into iWeb, the older filenames are there. The filename in iWeb and the actual filename do not match. It's as if it's pulling up an older filename from when the image was first created. I have deleted the page, quit iWeb, etc. What's going on here? Is it pulling old metadata or is there a cache I need to clear? Thanks for any help.

Youtube video of the issue. It has audio but don't know why youtube isnt playing it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFU8XjWIkO4
Watch for when I add the image to iWeb. In finder it's small_001.jpg but after adding it to iWeb it's thumbnail...

HT2470 My finder does not have the option to search for everything, only file names.

Is there a place I have to change settings?

"Add folder ..." is in the File menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

Add file name script not working in CS3

I have this wonderful script (written by Brian Price) back in 2004 for PS7 that adds the file name to an image ( I use it for adding file names to small images to be used in a slideshow). It works great ion Photoshop CS, but when I try to use it as part of a batch action in CS3 it stalls on line 9. OIt works fine when run on just one image in CS3 . . . it just stalls when run as part of a batch action!

Obscure file name script advice

I have a CD full of images created on OS/X with file names like
R 519 (S 64).jpg
I have a list of these file names and the names to which I need to change.
In a sh srcipt I tried all of these variations
mv 'R 519 (S 64).jpg' x
mv "R 519 (S 64).jpg" x
mv "R\ 519\ $S 64$.jpg" x
The files show normally in Finder but there is thousands of them and I would like to do it in batch.
Could you please suggest a workable solution?

This thread is very difficult to follow (I'm not a native English speaker).
First of all, is the problem "Solved"? It seems your "problem" has changed a few times. Exactly what is you problem?
I have a CD full of ....
You can't rename files on CD (it's read only). I assume you have copied them to your hard drive.
mv 'R 519 (S 64).jpg' x
mv "R 519 (S 64).jpg" x
mv "R 519 (S 64).jpg" x
None of them works.
Very strange. As Mark writes, the first one (single quote) should work. The second one (double quote) should also work. What kind of error do you get?
the issue is renaming files whose names are in a text source file to arbitrary names in the same source file, like in:
oldname1 newnameI
som other name yet another new name
Is this your (current) problem?
If both oldname and newname contain spaces, then it is obviously impossible to figure out where oldname ends and newname starts. If it is guaranteed that *the newname does not contain any space*, then your task can be easily done by a simple shell script, for example
#!/bin/sh
while read -a line
do
n=${#line[*]} # number of words on this line
oldname="${line[*]: 0: $n - 1}"
newname="${line[$n - 1]}"
echo 'rename "'$oldname'" to "'$newname'"'
# mv "$oldname" "$newname"
done < thelist
Here "thelist" is the name of the file containing the list of "oldname newname" pair (a pair in each line). The "mv" command is commented out since it is rather dangerous. If you are satisfied with the output of echo, then uncomment the mv command.
If I correctly understood (or guessed) your problem, then this should solve it. But you write
The problem is in matching the names in left column with the names in OS/X file system
What do you mean by "matching the names"? You also write
I solved now as a bypass by obtaining the "real" file name through find, ...
What do you mean by "real file name"? You mean "R 519 (S 64).jpg" is not a real name? I feel I'm still missing your "real" problem.
