Is it possible to create a script that does this?

Hey there,
I can work my way around a Mac pretty well, but as for coding, I'm not as good. Hopefully someone will know how to do what I'm looking for:
I do a lot of school assignments on my computer, and I've recently utilized an online service that allows me to sync up my files on my computer with their servers (like MobileMe, but not). Anyway, this is great and all, but this service is virtually useless if I'm trying to access a Pages publication via my school's computers which run Windows and, consequently, Microsoft Word 2007. However, they ALSO run Adobe Reader. Is it possible to create a script that, every time I save a Pages publication, automatically creates a PDF export of that same file in the directory where I'm working? Also, when I update the Pages file, it'll automatically update the PDF file?

Saving a script as a Script, an Application or an Application bundle requires the use of the Script Editor as explained in the System (Finder) help.
step 1:
open the script in the Script Editor
step 2:
compile it clicking the "Compile" button
step 3:
Save the script from the "File > Save" menu:
To save as "script" select the "script" menu item
To save as "Application" select the "Application" menu item
To save as _"Application Bundle"_ select the _"Application Bundle"_ menu item
The files which I post are saved thru the "Text" menu item which attache the extension name ".applescript" telling that it's an _Applescript's text file._
All these infos are given in resources pointed by my late messages !
Now are infos which maybe you will not find in the Apple's resources
I use the text (.applescript" format because it embeds nothing related to my machine.
To work from the Scripts menu, my best choice is "Script" which appears to be the fastest one.
"Application" is slower and sometimes gives odd results on MacIntels.
"Application Bundle" behaves well on every machines but is slower than "Script".

Is it possible to create a script that will replace text?

I have created a template, and every day I change the text and the image source. Is it possible to make a script that read a file with the new text and the destination of the image and replace it?

Is it possible to create a script that would convert 1/1/2013 (m/d/yy) to 01/01/2013 (mm/dd/yyyy)?

Thanks in advance. Based on the feedback that I have received on my forms, I have found that users get frustated with the alert regarding the date not being formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Is there a way to convert their entry of m/d/yy to mm/dd/yyyy? Thanks for your input and advice.

Thanks for your response! I'm not exactly sure why this isn't working... The format string is "mm/dd/yyyy" with no validation, just format... When I enter a date as "5/1/2013", an alert appears "Invalid date/time: please ensure that the date/time exists. Field [xxxxxxxxxx] should match format mm/dd/yyyy". If I enter the date as "05/01/2013", no alert appears. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to write a script that changes swf export settings?

I want to be able to export a swf file that uses a different text anti-alias setting. Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?
It seems there isn't. A script cannot add basic functionality, only access it. In this case, you can't change the setting because there is no 'antialias text' setting in the SWF export settings.
However, all is not lost. Google turned up this helpful page; it might be possible to edit your SWF after exporting and then re-save it.

How would I create a simple script that does these specific things?

I am trying to create a script that does these few simple task but I can't seem to compile all the cmdlets together into one. I can pick one task out and have a command for it but I want one script to do it all. Here are the tasks I need it to do.
store the current location (as in C:\scripts)
test to see if a folder C:\output exists, if it does not, create it
prompt the visitor for a folder name (no C:\)
obtain a directory listing of that folder showing all .ps1 files only
place the results of this listing in a file named PS1_files_[folder name].txt in the c:\output folder
repeat this task as part of a loop until an empty string is entered
restore the present location (for example C:\scripts)

Creating a page that does not exist

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to create a page that does not exist based on the user input?
By does not exist I mean that it is not stored in your computer and JSP will generate the page based on the user input. For example, in forums the user can create a new topic and based on the options selected a page will be created and stored that was not present before. The same thing happens when a message has a large number of replies, in which a new page will be created and attached to the previous page. I hope that I am not misunderstanding the concept of creating pages in forums.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Basil Mahdi

Hi,
what happens in the forums is that you type in a message and that message is stored in a database. Along with your message the number of thread, forum number and message number is stored. Next time somebody wants to read your message, this message is taken from the db and shown to you by the jsp. The JSP ofcourse does more thant taht it shows also other messages and static HTML.

Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

Hi
Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
Thanks,
-Maurizio

Maurizio,
It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
"MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
Member Name
MDX Expression
Available (FTE)
([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
Work (FTE)
[Work]/[Capacity]
These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just how resources are being utilized.
One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
Hope this helps!

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Is it possible to create a variable that tells you which slides the user has visited?

Hi there.
I'm working on a project where I want a slide to show a continue button and hide 2 textboxes, but ONLY when the user has already visited 2 other slides. I can only find variables that tell you the slide the user previously visited.
Is it possible to set up a variable that does this?
I want to create the following advanced action:
If the user has visited slides 62 AND 87, show image_536 and hide text_caption_243 and text_caption_242
I don't want the action to happen if only 1 of the 2 slides have been visited - it has to happen when both have been visited.
Hope that makes sense.
I'm using Captivate 7.
Thanks.

You will need two variables, it can be booleans. I'll label them v_one and v_two with a default value of 0
Since I don't know how the slides are formatted, do you use a Next button or are all the slide frames visited? You'll need to have an event on those two slides to trigger an action:
Assign v_one with 1     on slide 62
And a similar action on the other slide to toggle v_two (do not use the toggle command, if the user visits a slide twice, it would be toggled back to 0).
You didn't specify where those text containers have to be (please, label your objects and slides)? But you'll need conditional advanced action triggered by another event somewhere:
   IF v_one is equal to 1   AND
       v_two is equal to 1
Show text1
Show text2

Create a script that can create entire schema with data when run

Hi,
I need to create a script that creates the entire schema on a database when the script is run. the need is that the script should be capable of creating all schema objects with grants and all, including the table data.
The same objective can be achived through export / import.But we don't want to deliver the dump files instead a script which will be executed on a database created with same database stucture of tablespaces etc.
I have serched the net but yet to achive the goal.
Is there any oracle utility / script file that can do this for me ?
Can Oracle import be used to create the same, the way it is used to create index File ?
Please suggest !!
Regards

You should look at the package dbms_metadata to be able to extract all ddl to recreate a schema. To load the data, you could write scripts that will generate insert statements and spool these to a file (sql generating sql), or you could write scripts that generates a delimited file and use sql loader to load the data into the target system. There are lots of little gotchas in either of these 2 solutions. The biggest 2 right away. 1 - picking a delimiter, 2 - dealing with carriage returns in text data. SQL Developer is able to do some extraction, so before you go writing this stuff yourself, I would check it out to see if it does what you are looking for before you reinvent the wheel.

Is it possible to create a bean that will generate (fill up) applet paramet

Hi all,
As a newbie I was asking myself is it possible to create a bean that will fill up applet parameter or directly generate the applet ??
And I can I create it ?
I mean : Having a jsp page that make reference to the bean, the bean shall generatehtml applet parameter values.
Some samples will be welcome or a template.
Thanks in advance
Shamann

Thanks a lot for your reply siv viv,
I've posted this thread because I'm a little bit disappointed with Applet and jsp according to lot of thread about this subject (it seems that communication between applet and jsp is not easy : bug reported).
The basic thing i want to do is to create a dynamic Pie Chart as applet or bean so i need to set applet parameter thanks to variables.
See the http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=80250 this one is putting me in the dark.

How can I download TV programmes from the BBC iplayer. Is there an app for ipad that does this?

I have an ipad 2. I have BBC iplayer. The programme stops and starts as the broadband cannot cope with the streming. The solution is to download the programme from the BBC iplayer and into the ipad 2 for viewing later without all that mucking about with the streaming bit.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download a programme from the BBC iplayer into an ipad 2? If there is an application that does this what is it?
Many thanks to you all.

There is no iPad app to do this - the BBC's television license agreement wouldn't allow it.
There are desktop programs which will download programmes from BBC iPlayer which you can then sync to the iPad via iTunes, but technically they also operate against the terms of the iPlayer license. Google will help you find them.
