Inserting automatic file name within text block

InDesign has a great feature where the filename can be inserted as variable text which will automatically update whenever the filename is changed. Is there a plug-in for Illustrator which can do the same thing?

You could use a script to update, each time you run the script.

When printing you can turn on page information.
To get that into the text box of your choice, the best advice I can offer, is to do a save as, copy the filename, don't save, and then paste your clipboard. Though what you ask for is really nice, and I would love that, and even an automated date and your username. With how many people do Illustrator slugs in the professional world, is disappointing that Adobe nor a 3rd party devleoper has not come up with this.

Inserting automatic file name, date and time in Illustrator CS3?

hello all,
is there an option in Illustrator where you could automatically insert inside your file the file name, date and time where it was last created or modified, etc.
I found this option to exist in InDesign, but could not find the same menu in Illustrator. I am using CS3.
help?
thanks a bunch.

Mario,
would you please be so kind to include a reference on your site about the script? As far as I can see, the PutDateandTime.js you are providing here is a copy or a slightly modified copy of the original script that Wolfgang Reszel has provided on our site for about four years.
It is okay that the script is available on your site, but please not without a reference. Thanks.

Allowable Characters in the file names within Oracle iFS

What characters are allowable in file names within Oracle iFS?
Are slashes (/ \) possible?
Thanks,
Sai Mummalaneni.

Be carefull with file and directory names in iFS. You might be able to create folders and add document to it through the web interface that the windows explorer interface might not be able to interpret. Like a directory named '.'.

How to insert the file name to the start and the end of a SQL file by a powershell script

I just began to learn powershell script and I have a problem that I cannot figure out. I have a lot of .sql files. I need to insert its file name to the beginning of the file (After USE statement) and the end of the file (before the last END statement). Is
there anybody knowing how to do this?
Thanks so much
Regards

Actually, I want to add a insert SQL statement to the beginning of the file and the end of the file. Only the file name is a variable and different among
different files. All the other sql statements are the same and can be hard coded. Hopefully it helps –
The problem I think is that I want to add the same thing (except the file name) to hundreds of sql files and only the file name is different. I do not want
to add it manually and want to use a script to add it –

Looping multiple excel files at a time in ssis and create a new column to insert the files names

Hi Friend,
i have one requirement.
I got around 200 excel files with date as file name like 120101.xls, 120102.xls (YYMMDD).
I am able to loop all the files and insert data but i am unable to load the files names using ssis.
Please can any one help to fix this using script task or any other code..
It is very urgent

Thank You Vaibhav,
I want to insert the file name along with the other columns of data from excel.
like this deriving a new column FILE_NAME
Your ForEach Loop task must be returning the entire file path, I suppose.
1. Get the file name from your file path.
New variable: FileName
Expression : RIGHT(@[User::FilePath],FINDSTRING(REVERSE(@[User::FilePath]),"\\",1)-1)
2. Inside Data flow, after Excel source use Dervied Column and use above @FileName
3. At your OLEDB destinition, use MyFileName.

Set file names to text

I'm looking for an action that will take files as input and output the file names as text. Does anyone know of an included or free action to do this?

You can use AppleScript's text item delimiters to add some text between the (text) items when converting the input list to text:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters} -- convert the input list to text using the specified delimiter
try
set tempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters -- save the current delimiter
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return -- change the delimiting text as desired
set the output to the input as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
on error errorMessage number errorNumber -- restore the original delimiter before passing on the error
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
error errMessage number errorNumber
end try
return the output
end run
</pre>

Automatic insertion of file name in Pages footer?

I'm considering using Pages instead of MS Word. One thing I can't figure out is if it is possible to use a function to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a page (or anywhere else for that matter)? Having the file name on printouts is great for finding old files, and Word has such a function that inserts it when the file is first saved. It is a real time saver when using a template (or old file) to create new files.

How can I insert the file name automatically on all pages?

I would like that on all pages of my keynote presentations the file name is inserted automatically in a footer as eg in EXCEL and Word.

Oh yeah! Very similar to that one is Print Window. I use it all the time.

It costs $20 if you want all the extra features the free version doesn't have. But I've always used the free version. Nothing in the paid version I need.

SQL*Loader to insert data file name during load

I'd like to use a single control file to load data from different files (at different times) to the same table. I'd like this table to have a column to hold the name of the file the data came from. Is there a way for SQL*Loader to automatically do this? (I.e., as opposed to running an update query separately.) I can edit the control file before each load to set a CONSTANT to hold the new data file name, but I'd like it to pick this up automatically.
Thanks for any help.
-- Harvey

Hello Harvey.
I've previously attempted to store a value into a global/local OS variable and use this within a SQL*Loader control file (Unix OS and Oracle versions between 7.3.4 and 10g). I was unsuccessful in each attempt and approach I could imagine. It was very easy to use a sed script to make a copy of the control file, changing a string within it to do this however.
Do you really want to store a file name on each and every record? Perhaps an alternative would be to use a relational model. Create a file upload log table that would store the file name and an upload # and then have the SQL*Loader control file call a function that would read that table for the most recent upload #. You'll save some disk space too.
Hope this helps,
Luke

How can i add a file name(the text of the file name) as a child node to existing node in a treeView1 ?

bool exists = false;
TreeNode newNodeParsed = null;
TreeNode rootNode = treeViewMS1.Nodes[0];
TreeNode nextNode = rootNode;
string f = Path.GetFileName(txtUploadFile.Text);
TreeNode subnode = new TreeNode(txtDir.Text);
TreeNode filename = new TreeNode(f);
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
The rootNode is the root directory in the treeView1
subnode is a node inside the root. For example the subnode name is manuelisback
I'm checking if the subnode exist i want to add the file for example (lightning1.jpg) to be under subnode.
If the subnode is not existing add the subnode to the root and then add the file name lightning1.jpg under the subnode.
But the file name is never added under the subnode:
I added manualy the lightning1.jpg under test.
But the lightning1.jpg also should be added to be under manuelisback. There should be two lightning1.jpg here.
One under manuelisback and one under test. The one under test i added manualy from my ftp server.
But the one i want to be under manuelisback i'm trying to add from my program and it dosen't add it to there.
And when i'm using a breakpoint i see on subnode the text manuelisback and i see on f the text lightning1.jpg

If I understand your question correctly, you might want to try changing:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
to something like:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
subnode = node;
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
rootNode.Nodes.Add(f);

Get picture's file name to text

How can I set an InDesign template that to get a placed object's file name and write it down, without the extension, in a text box near it? I have to make a large list of people, all the jpg-s are named with their names, and I have to write down the names near. I was thinking of a template with a placeholder for the picture and a placeholder for the text, that gets the picture's name. Have any better ideea guys?

I've tried them out, but haven't manage yet to create a template of my own. Can i "convince" InDesign to pun only 3 images on a page, in specific locations? How can I make contact sheets work on different master pages? I mean arranging pictures on different layouts, in the same document.

Need to reference file name within the XML Output

Not sure if this is possible, as I'm new to the livecycle/XML world. But I need to be able to reference a file within the XML output from the PDF.
The Scenario is that a pdf form of a business card will be issued to 50 franchisees for them to type in their names and mobiles, click submit and the XML file to be sent to myself, and be imported in to InDesign populating their data ready for printing. Up to here I have it working perfectly.
However as each franchisee have a combination of up to 5 logos to place in the bottom corner to save having to have various templates with different combinations of logos and having to ensure the correct templates are used. I intend to reference each companies combination as an EPS and make the reference within the xml out and have it import directly in with the other data. I can type the code directly within the xml but I would like to have the form reference it directly in the xml output. Is this possible or am expecting to much of livecycle? Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

How to get JSP file name within a servlet?

I wonder is there any method that we could use to print out the JSP's file name which called a servlet within the servlet itself? For instance, A.jsp called B.class which is a servlet, and when the servlet is being invoked print out "A.jsp" or "A" in a dos screen.
Thanks for any reply.

The Referer is an optional HTTP header, and it only exists when a page is called from an hyperlink (i.e. from another web page). The general meaning of Referer is the "caller page". There at least two situations in which there will be no Referer header:
1. When the usuer types in the destination page address directly, or get it from a bookmark/favorite or similar. Since there is no caller page, there would be no Referer.
2. Althought browsers usually send the referal page when you choose a link, some privacy control programs (such as Norton Internet Security etc.) can intercept the request and strip out the Referer header, even when there is a caller page.

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,

How to insert the file name to column

When user upload the file, in order to avoid the double file name conflict, so I need to change the file name to something else, but I still need save the former file name to some column to download the file with correct file name, I know how to rename and upload file, but I don't know how to catch the file name and save it to some column when using addt insert transaction?

Hi,
As I said earlier, you have to maintain the list of filename's "itemdescr" in different temp file and load it an and when required table instead of checking for round robin functionality. If you are looking forward that oracle sqlldr can able to access the filename as one of the parameter then - it might not possible AFAIK.
else perform the direct insert on the table from sqlclient.
