Insert File Path into Text Field

I am trying to create a text filed at the bottom of a form document that will automatically input the file path (e.g.. C\:Folder\File) of the document itself after the document is saved. I've looked at a few Scripts but nothing seems to be working. I'm assuming it will look something like this on the "postSave" option:
this.rawValue = event.target.path.replace(event.target.documentFileName, "");
I am a very novice programmer so I have no idea if this is even close to right.

Apparently some of my search parameters were off. This question has already been answered before. If anyone comes looking here, this is a link to the page with the answer.

Enjoy.
FYI: here is the code I used for the text field.
Inspection.TextPage.Bottom.End.Directions.File::preSave - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = event.target.path

Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

Hello,
search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
"script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
Thanks and best greetings
Wolfgang

This works in CS2:-
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
nameDescription = MenuElement.create("command", "AddName to Description", "at the beginning of Thumbnail");
nameDescription .onSelect = function () {
     nameToDescription();
function nameToDescription(){
var items = app.document.selections;
      for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
         var item = items[i];
var m = item.synchronousMetadata;
filenameToDesc(m, item.name.slice(0,-4));
function filenameToDesc(metadata, Description) {
var strTmpl = "name2Desc";
var strUser = Folder.userData.absoluteURI;
var filTmpl = new File(strUser + "/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates/" + strTmpl + ".xmp");
var fResult = false;
try
{ if (filTmpl.exists)
filTmpl.remove();
fResult = filTmpl.open("w");
if (fResult) {
filTmpl.writeln("<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x=\"adobe:ns:meta/\" x:xmptk=\"3.1.2-113\">");
filTmpl.writeln(" <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\">");
filTmpl.writeln(" <rdf:Description rdf:about=\"\" xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">");
filTmpl.writeln("<dc:description>");
filTmpl.writeln("<rdf:Alt>");
filTmpl.writeln("<rdf:li xml:lang=\"x-default\">"+Description+"</rdf:li>");
filTmpl.writeln("</rdf:Alt>");
filTmpl.writeln("</dc:description>");
filTmpl.writeln(" </rdf:Description>");
filTmpl.writeln(" </rdf:RDF>");
filTmpl.writeln("</x:xmpmeta>");
fResult = filTmpl.close();
metadata.applyMetadataTemplate(strTmpl, "replace");
filTmpl.remove();
catch(e)
{ fResult = false; }
return fResult;

Insert JQuery .html into text field nested inside of symbol

This is one of those, 'it should be so simple....so of course, it's not' question.
Got a nested symbol. Rather simple one. Inside the symbol is a background rectangle and a text field. When I click a button, it should insert the HTML I give it from the click event.
Now initially I did this by just using the text field by itself. No nesting. This is the code:
sym.$("copy").html("Edge Rocks!");
OK, success! The text loaded just fine.
Now let's insert that text field inside of a symbol. And let's call that symbol 'content'.
Now I try....
sym.$("content").$("copy").html("Some new text");
Result? Nothing.
Tried using stage instead of sym and even added a var stage = sym.getComposition().getStage() statement before that. Nope.
Yea, they don't make it easy. So what's the solution?
Here's my example file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n1ehhsp7r3rbt6/text.zip?m
BTW, ran this in Firebug's console. No errors.

Yes and no, Elaine. Kind of confusing but if the button is directly on the stage, that code works. However, if that button gets nested inside of its own symbol, the code no longer works and a JS error appears in console.
So in other words, the button and the text field are nested inside of symbols, but not the same symbol. So it's a question of the path being used.
I tried switching sym to Stage to no effect.
Redid the test file and uploaded it to Dropbox:

File name into text field

Is there a way to display the forms file name, into a text field?
Example: The form's file name is "MyForm.1.01.pdf"
I would like to display "MyForm.1.01" in a text field on the form.
If my form is saved and goes up a revision to say "MyForm.1.02"
"MyForm.1.02" is then displayed in the text field.
I was thinking, this could be on the pre open event, so that when the form is saved, it would display the new revision when the form is next opened?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following will get the file name:
this.rawValue = event.target.documentFileName;
I would put this in the docReady event, as this event fires only once, when the form opens.
There is a sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=ZnxO-dlXXFDS0GvYcQk2NQ
Hope that helps,

To assign it to a text box you couls use the following in the
onload
function
textbox.Text = DateTime.Now.toString;

Data type mismatch when inserting into text field

Hello all,
Using VB script and ASP.
I have a page that inserts into a field (casenum) in a table (clientsw) in a database. The field (casenum) in the table is data type TEXT :
I create a recordset and then an insert statement which the following is part of:
Code to insert the casenum into the field
rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue")
It inserts a number like 09E-1004500
I then have code that takes that string and passes it to the next page as a variable
Session("UserID")=rsClients("CASENUM")
response.redirect "done3.asp"
When it gets to the next page it is assigned as UserID
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
My information inserts into the database exactly as I want it, but when it gets to the next page I get an error that is displayed that says the following:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
/done3.asp, line 16
My code on the second page is as follows:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<%
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
<%
set rsClients = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsClients.ActiveConnection = MM_connNewdatabase_STRING
rsClients.Source = "SELECT * FROM CLIENTSW WHERE CASENUM=" + Replace(svuserid, "'", "''") + " ORDER BY CASENUM"
rsClients.CursorType = 0
rsClients.CursorLocation = 2
rsClients.LockType = 3
rsClients.Open()
rsClients_numRows = 0
%>
Line 16 is the one that says rsClients.Open()
If I take the concatenation out of rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue") and have only rsClients("Casenum")=rsCasenumber("countervalue") and change the table field to number, I don't get the "datatype mismatch error"
What do I change to enable me to leave the above statement concatenated and insert into the table correctly and complete the stuff on the next page?

>This is an access database, varchar is not an option for a datatype.
Sorry. In another thread I thought you mentioned using SQL Server
>I changed the + signed to ampersands instead and it doesn't make a difference.
I didn't think that was the problem. I was just pointing out that it's a bad practice. If you use the '+' on two strings that can evaluate as numeric, it will actually add rather than concat them.

Cannot insert Chinese character into nvarchar2 field

I have tested in two environments:
1. Database Character Set: ZHS16CGB231280
National Character Set: AL16UTF8
If the field type of datatable is varchar2 or nvarchar2, the provider can read and write Chinese correctly.
2. Database Character Set:WE8MSWIN1252
National Character Set: AL16UTF8
The provider can not read and write Chinese correctly even the field type of datatable is nvarchar2
I find that for the second one, both MS .NET Managed Provider for Oracle and Oracle Managed Data Provider cannot read and write NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 fields. The data inserted into these fields become question marks.
Even if I changed the NLS_LANG registry to SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16CGB231280, the result is the same.
For the second situation, only after I change the Database Character Set to ZHS16CGB231280 with ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET statement, can I insert Chinese correctly.
Does any know why I cannot insert Chinese characters into Unicode fields when the Database Character Set is WE8MSWIN1252? Thanks.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,
First of all, I am not familiar with MS .NET Managed Provider for Oracle or Oracle Managed Data Provider.
How did you insert these Simplified Chinese characters into the NVARCHAR2 column ? Are they hardcoded as string literals as part of the SQL INSERT statement ? If so, this could be because, all SQL statements are converted into the database character set before they are parsed by the SQL engine; hence these Chinese characters would be lost if your db character set was WE8MSWIN1252 but not when it was ZHS16CGB231280.
Two workarounds, both involved the removal of hardcoding chinese characters.
1. Rewrite your string literal using the SQL function UNISTR().
2. Use bind variables instead of text literals in the SQL.
Thanks
Nat

How to insert a value into a field of binary type?

I've been using Oracle for a while now but never dealt with BLOB
or long raw type before. Does anyone here know how to insert a
record into a field of either blob or long raw type?
Any suggestions would be very appreicated.
Thanks.

pls used the loadfromfile procedure which is in the DBMS_LOB
package to insert the data from external os file into blob data
type column.

File Path and Name field does not display correct path

We are using Crystal 2008 along with VS 2005. We embed the special "File Path and Name" field inside our report and it displays the correct path when viewed inside Crystal reports:
C:\Program Files\reports\Chart.rpt
When run through the web and viewed in the DHTML viewer, the file name and path appear as follows:
C:\Windows\TEMP\Chart {02152A43-3339-4C03-A50A-E281E1D391AF}.rpt
How can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This is a known issue tracked under ADAPT0000962216. At this time I do not know when this will be resolved, however Service Pack 2 for CR 2008 is targeted to be released by September and this may contain the fix.

"File Path and Name" field not displaying correctly

Post Author: DaveWoo
CA Forum: General
Hello,Here's my situation: I'm currently upgrading from Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have several reports (programmatically generated using VB.NET) that use the "File Path and Name" special field. Now, in the old version of Crystal Reports (2003), the field properly displayed the original file path and name; however, in the new version (2005), the field displays as "C:\DOCUME1\Username\LOCALS1\Temp\Filename{F2459406-3719-4C8B-917C-4A7055A18C76}.tmp" - in other words, the location of the temporary .rpt file.How do I get the "File Path and Name" field to correctly display the path & name of the original file, like it did in the prior version?- Dave

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Copy and paste file path into bridge

I use bridge a lot! One of the most annoying things about bridge is that I can't paste a file path into bridge to browse to that file, on a network server, for example. I work at a graphics company, all our files are stored on servers with hundreds of folder levels, which makes it a huge pain to browse to manually.
I'll usually get a file path link that i can quickly paste into windows explorer to either open the file or browse to the folder it's in. With bridge i have to manually click through to the network folder.
This change would make a huge difference in usability for me.

Paste your path into explorer then you can Right Click on the folder and select "Browse in Adobe Bridge CS5"
Edit:- you can paste the path directly into the top bar just click to the right of the path and it will allow you to paste your path in.

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

Yoga 13 MSIE10 can't type into text fields

New machine Feb 2013 used exclusively in laptop mode. Has been great overall but right out of the box I could not type text into any form fields using Internet Explorer 10. What an intro to Windows 8! Discovered I can type text in notepad, then copy and paste it into fields but cannot enter it directly. This was happening with the factory installed software so if it's a third party app conflict it's one that's original equipment. Thankfully Chrome works fine, but sometimes I need to use MSIE and am quickly reminded why I can't.
Google and Lenovo forums are mum on this subject. Some suggestions pointed to SFC /scannow, which came up with a litany of things it couldn't fix. Enhanced protected mode in MSIE also did not help. Didn't appear possible to reinstall MSIE (where's the DOJ when you need them?) What's next? Thank you all for your assistance.

hi dserdu,
Welcome to the Forums.
Are you having this issue on the desktop version of I.E. or the Metro version?
- if the issue only happens on the metro IE, try to open the Desktop I.E. > press ALT+T > choose Internet options. On the Internet Options, go to the Programs Tab, set I.E. to Always and check the box "Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop"
- Link to picture
Alternatively, if the issue is compatibility between the website and the I.E. versions, you can run I.E. 10 in compatibility mode or on a lower version (i.e. I.E. 9, I.E. 8., ...etc.). To do this:
1. Open the Desktop I.E. and press F12
2. On the developer tools, choose Browser Mode IE 10 and choose an I.E. version (i.e. IE 9)
- Link to picture
3. When dnoe, press F12 again and observe if you can now type into text fields.
Let me know your findings
Regards
