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 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 write a script that would change triangles to circles?

    I have an Excel file that plots a scatter-plot graph using a logarithmic scale. Since it is not possible to create a logarithmic graph in Illustrator, I imported the graph into Excel as a PDF. However, each data point is a triangle, and I would like to use circles that I created using OBJECT>GRAPH>DESIGN. Is there an easy way to replace the triangles with these circles?
    If you need to see the current AI file, just let me know how to attach it.
    Thanks.

    To elaborate on what Monika wrote select all the triangles with the direct select tool and the shift key and do not group them then go to effect>Convert Shape Ellipse choose Absolute and enter your dimensions you can then give it a transform effect to give it a visual centering as in the screenshot and turn that into a graphic style which can be saved for future use.
    However remember if you wish to change the size or offset the graphic style will record the convert shape and transform in the appearance panel and it can be changed you can do it to one or all of the converted triangles.

  • 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.

  • Is there a script that would allow unique disc names on double albums? (I don't want to put them in the album title or comments.)

    I have iTunes 11.2.2, and I've recently made use of iTunes' "disc x of y" feature, instead of entering the disc number in the album title like I used to. I made this change because putting disc numbers in the album-title field makes the two discs appear as two separate albums, with the artwork appearing twice, which I didn't want. The downside of using the "disc x of y" feature, however, is that for double albums where the two discs have unique titles, rather than the default "disc one" and "disc two" -- say, for example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' album Stadium Arcadium, where the discs are called "Jupiter" and "Mars" --  there is no way to label the disks with their unique titles and still keep them within one album entry. I don't want to put these titles in as a comment or anything like that either. What I'm really wondering is whether it is possible to write a script that would allow me to change where it reads "disc 1" to a unique title, at least within the album section of iTunes.

    Certain tags are limited as to format.  I am pretty sure the disc number field only allows numeric entries.  You can send feedback to Apple suggesting changes in iTunes but since this is a somewhat unusual feature I doubt it will be high priority.

  • 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!

  • Is it possible to write a script that samples an anchor points underlying color and applies it?

    I was wondering if anyone with scripting knowledge for Illustrator can think of a script that would sample the underlying color of anchor points in a selected gradient mesh and apply it to them? I was just thinking of ways to speed up the process of creating a vector drawing based on a picture so that all you would have to do is model your mesh and then let the script apply the colors.
    Thanks

    no can do, there's no access to mesh point with scripting, sorry about that.
    have you tried Mesh Tormentor? it is free!!!, but I don't know if it will help with your problem

  • 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

    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.

  • Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

    Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
    I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
    tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
    but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.
