Insert or replace last content

HI Forum,
I do need a little tweak on this script...
Thing is, i want to find the last paragraph, last line, last character and make it as full stop...
eg.
•   can do anything if you need; (";" to replace with ".").
it is doing that,,,
but if there is no ";" or ":" it is replacing the character d....
I want check the last character is ";" or ":" and to replace with "."
if there is no ";" or ":" just add "." at the end..
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.bulletsAndNumberingListType = ListType.BULLET_LIST;
var myResults = app.findGrep();
var oDoc = app.activeDocument;
for(n=0; n< myResults.length;n++){
var fnd = myResults[n].paragraphs.lastItem().lines.lastItem();
               if(fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents !== "."){
               fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents = "."
alert(fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents)
Many thanks...

Sorry Vam for the confusion...
this is what i mentioned....
for(n=0; n< myResults.length;n++){
var fnd = myResults[n].paragraphs.lastItem().lines.lastItem();
               if(fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents !== "."){ // if there is a paragraph below the bullet paragraph, it works fine... if not it replaces the last character with"."
               fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents = "."
alert(fnd.insertionPoints.itemByRange(-3,-2).contents)
eg. • vamitul;
      • vamitul;
      • vamitul;                      // now the semicolon of the last paragraph will be replaced with "." itemByRange(-3,-2).
Dummy text paragraph of this what when dummy text. (paragraph below the last bullet).
eg2. • vamitul;
        • vamitul;
        • vamitul;
        • vamitul;    // if there is no paragraph below... now character "l" is replaced with "." itemByRan(-3,-2) goes to l and change it......
Again sorry if im confusing..... vam..

Problem with "Insert" and "Overwrite Sequence Content"

I'm working with XDCAM footage. I like to take all the individual clips recorded on the XDCAM disc, and after getting them into FCP, taking them and putting them all in a sequence in FCP, then using that sequence as the source in the Viewer. This allows for quick scanning of all the clips, much as is it were a digitized tape.
I recently found the "Insert Sequence Content" and "Overwrite Sequence Content" commands in FCP, and like them in that they actually put the individual clips into my project timeline, and not just the combined sequence (which looks more or less like a nest when dropped into my project sequence).
Here's the problem: When I put IN and OUT points in the timeline, and "Insert or Overwrite Sequence Content" using the sequence containing all the clips, the video tends to be contained to between the IN and OUT points I set in the TIMELINE, but the audio tracks tend to expand past the OUT point I set in the TIMELINE, and I can't figure out why, or how to get around this.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you're inserting or overwriting, you're basically pasting the content that you've chosen. I wouldn't think the out point would be recognized, or even wanted. If you copied 5 minutes of clips and inserted it into a sequence with a 4 minute in/out point duration, do you want to only have the first 4 minutes inserted into the sequence? If you only place an in point, it will insert all the clips, starting at that point, and it will take up as much time as the clip content's duration.
Am I missing something here?

When i go to insert a arrow in my movie for a highlight film instead of saying picture in picture it only says insert or replace how do i get it to say picture in picture?

how do i get the picture in picture to show up instead of insert or replace.

Trying to sync new music i got on my mac which is my new computer to my iPhone and erase and sync is saying it will replace the contents of my phone. Does it mean Photos also or just Music and Videos?

I got a Mac and i downloaded new music on it and im trying to sync the music on this computer to my iPhone which is hooked up to another iTunes and iTunes is saying " An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes Library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library" does this mean that it will also erase my photos or just my music and videos ?? if it does is there another way to sync with out all my contents being deleted??

You can only sync one iTunes Library from Mac to iPhone.

Insert or Replace from Clipboard?

Is there a way to insert or replace a VI from the clipboard? Or maybe a quick drop plugin to do this?
Is it possible to do with a quick drop plugin?
I ran into a situation earlier where I needed to insert a simple VI to a number of wires in different cases. The VI was named in a way that made it a little tedious to find in quick drop over and over, but if I could have inserted it from the clipboard I could have knocked out the task in just a few seconds.
I just want to make sure I'm not over looking anything before I tackle writing my first QD plug in or suggesting it on the idea exchange.

Wart wrote:
That doesn't handle inserting it into existing wires though. Or replacing existing VIs with the one on the clipboard. For the sake of completion I use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V with VIs all the time
Something I just discovered as a reasonable workaround is to copy and paste the VI name from the Quick Drop dialog box.. Then I can Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+I to insert. I'd like to eliminate a key stroke combo, but that's at least reasonable. I could follow the same process with Ctrl+P at the end to replace an existing VI.
Have you used the Findand Replace? It will search and replace VIs for you. Yes, the Ctrl-V does not replace an existing VI or insert it into existing wires.
BTW, you might want to kudo this idea.

My hard drive was replaced last week on my macbook pro. The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive. They reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes. When I opened I tunes, i had some but not all my songs listed. All my playlists and purchases were missing. I attempted to sync my iPod so my playlist and information would be reinstalled but iTunes does not recognize the iPod to allow it to sync.

I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer and it wiped out his iTunes account replacing his content with the content of my iTunes account. Any idea how to fix this?

I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer not knowing that it would wipe out his iTunes account and replace his content with mine. Obviously, not good. Any ideas on how to fix this??

Syncing an iphone should have no effect at all on the content of the computer.
Are you saying the the itunes library on the computer was effected?

Replace Attributes Content ?

Is there a FCPX equivelant to Replace Attributes > Content?
I have several plaeholder clips with all atributes set on my timeline. Now I need to replace them with different media, but want to retain cropping, timing, in and outs, etc.
I know I can copy atributes and paste them into a new clip, but this doesn't transfer the in and out points. Any ideas?

Not as selective as the old Final Cut, but you can select a clip and copy it, then go to:
Edit > Paste Attributes (or similar - FCP X is shut down at the moment).
As I say, you get the lot, but it's better than nothing.

Replace last delimeter with "and" in a string in SSRS

Hi,
I want to replace last delimeter (comma) with and
in a string in SSRS 2008 R2.
if there are more than one unit, and the Area of the units are different, then the area of each must must be listed separated by commas and ‘and’ before the last one.
i.e.,
Input string- Hi,Hello,HRU,
Desired output- Hi,Hello and
HRU..
how can I achieve this (and
before last word) ?
(suggest in SSRS or even in SQL)
Rgds/-

Your example seems to indicate you wish to substitute "and" for the second to last delimiter and ".." for the last. Is that the ask? Will there actually be a trailing delimiter on the input string?
This can be done several ways: In the dataset, in an expression, using custom code.
The approach for the dataset and expression are similar, just the language is different. Dataset will usually deliver better performance since the source is often a more powerful server (in the case of a SQL dataset).
In an SSRS expression it might look like this:
=Left(Fields!InputString.Value,InStrRev(Fields!InputString.Value,",")-1)+" and "+Right(Fields!InputString.Value,Len(Fields!InputString.Value)-InStrRev(Fields!InputString.Value,","))
This assumes the input string is actually a field from your dataset but it could be anything. The Left piece gets the string that occurs before the last comma without the comma, then append " and ", then the Right expression gets everything after the last
comma and appends it. If you will have a trailing delimiter, you could substitute the following formula anywhere you see Fields!InputString.Value:
=Replace(Trim(Replace(Fields!InputString.Value,","," "))," ",",")
Because Trim in an SSRS expression only trims leading and trailing spaces, the delimiters must be converted to a space. So this only works if there are no spaces in the original string. If the input is "Hi,Hello,How are you," the result of this formula will
be "Hi,Hello,How,are,you" because the spaces between How, are and you will get replaced by ",". To handle embedded spaces makes the expression more complex. Assuming the input string is "Hi,Hello,How are you,":
=Replace(Replace(Trim(Replace(Replace(Fields!InputString.Value," ","|"),","," "))," ",","),"|"," ")
This expression uses 2 more replace statements. The innermost statement substitues "|" for the embedded spaces so they don't get replace with ",". You should use a character that you are sure will not appear in the string otherwise. Or use a sequence of
characters like "|^|" that you are sure won't appear if any one character may possibly appear. The outermost Replace restores the "|" characters back to spaces.
A code solution may be easier. Just wrap the below in a simple function:
return str.Trim(",".ToCharArray()).Substring(0, str.Trim(",".ToCharArray()).LastIndexOf(",") - 1) + " and " + str.Trim(",".ToCharArray()).Substring(str.Trim(",".ToCharArray()).LastIndexOf(",") + 1);
This is the VB.Net equivalent of the expressions above.

Scripting problem replacing layer contents.

This is a follow up to the discussion in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480444?tstart=0.
I've virtually completed the script, I attached it as a .txt file rather than .jsx , In a brief nutshell it does the following:
Gets a text file name.
opens the psd identified in that document
walks the layers in that file
     if the layer is a text file and there is replacement text for that name in the input file, replace the text
     if the layer is an image (NORMAL) and there is an input file with a name (.jpg or .psd) matching the layer name then
           the layer is turned into a smart object and it's contents replaced with the contents of the relevant file.
Saves the modified psd file as the name indicated in the input file and close the original file.
If the input file indicates the file should be left open, reopen the modified file name.
Almost everything works well except ...
1. Sometimes the modified file loses it's layering and winds up with only a "background" layer whereas other times it retains it's layering. I'm sure this is due to some characteristic of the input template .psd, but with limited understanding of photoshop itself I've no idea what characteristic to look for.
Any suggestions as to what might be the source of this problem?
2. It appears that sometimes when creating the 1 layer file that will replace an image layer as a .jpg it losses the background transparency. This doesn't seem to happen if saved as a .psd, but the user wants to work with jpgs.
Any ideas why?
3. When replacing an image layer from another replacement file, the resulting new image in the modified file doesn't seem to be properly aligned. Incidentally, the same behaviour occurs if I do the steps of creating a smart layer and replacing manually in photoshop. I tried to attached the .psd files but the forum would not allow it.
Again any ideas why it might be misaligned or a code change that will fix it?
Any suggestions would be most thankfully accepted.

When a file is placed, you set the size and position in the layer. When you replace the contents the same transform values are used. If the file used to replace is not the same size as the first, it will not be the same size and location in the layer. I don't know of any way to determine the transform or reset it. The script could resize but that would require opening the file, resizing, and saving before the replace.
I created the .psd file with which to replace the image layer from the image layer of the original by changing the image and saving it. I then checked the image size, canvas size, and transform values of both and they matched. When I ran the program the replaced image was misplaced, too high in the new psd. I then editing the replacing file and changing the y transform value until it resulted in the right place when placed by the script. For it to work properly the y transform value of the replacing layer was approximately 100 more than the replaced layer (I assume this particular value will vary with the particulars of the files). This is what confuses me, when they were identical it didn't work properly.

HT4527 How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.

How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.

for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library

Replace last occurrence of a word in string

Hi,
I need to replace a last occurrence of a word in string. Form example:
'I like fruits and also like vegetables' need to replace last occurrence of "like" which is just before vegetables and not the "like" before the fruits.

One of the solution to use the last occurrence dynamically
applicable to prior version of 11g
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (str, 'like', 'hate', INSTR (str, 'like', -1))
FROM (SELECT 'I like fruits and also like vegetables also like mango' str FROM DUAL)
applicable to 11g
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (str, 'like', 'hate', 1, REGEXP_COUNT (str, 'like'), 'i') data_col
FROM (SELECT 'I like fruits and also like vegetables also like mango' str FROM DUAL)

TOC. Insert page. TOC contents is on page 1. Upon export it is last page ??

Hi again,
I am using a set of tutorials that outline how to create my ePub TOC.
I used this method successfully for my last ebook.
This time, I am subdividing my TOC.
The TOC links are NOT Chronologically based by the chapter sequence
but based upon a Subject.
A fictional TOC example follows.
Locations
    Alaska
    Hawaii
    California
    Maine
Time periods
    1700s
    1800s
    1900s
    2000s
PROBLEM.
I needed to add or rather insert a page at the very beginning of my document (page 2) so that I could physically type in the TOC Contents as above.
Layout > pages > insert pages > insert after page 2.
When I export this....
The TOC Contents is the very last page of the ePub.
But in my inDesign Document it is on page 1.
QUESTION 1.
Can someone explain this please ?
Thanks again.
I have the Indesign 800+ page PDF but there is not anything on TOC.
Thanks again.

It probably has something to do with how your text boxes are connected in InDesign. You need to put the table of contents in the "flow" of the book.
