Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
Sub NumChars1()
MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
End Sub
Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
Sub NumChars2()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
End With
End Sub
The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
Sub NumChars3()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
End With
End Sub

Regions display name number of characters

I would like to increase the number of characters currently available in the Region Display Name, currently I am limited to 40. How do I change the number of characters avaialble to me?

Hi,
Do you talk about Apex region?
If so , create hidden item Px_ITEM and set it value with your long region name.
Then use item on region title like &Px_ITEM.Br, Jari

How to limit the number of characters a label displays?

Can someone please tell me how I can limit the number of characters a label displays from the text property?

Ok. What I am trying to do is display a number with the format
x.yy
I need the display to show all characters all the time. For example let me show you what I currently get and what I require.
Current     Require
0               0.00
0.1            0.10
etc
To me its like the label is truncating the number appropriately and I dont want it to do that. I need a fixed 4 character format.
Hope this clears it up.

Possible to use process substitution a variable number of times?

Hello Archers,
I have a script like so:
#! /bin/bash
( readlink /proc/$$/fd/0 | grep -q "^pipe:" ) || ( file $(readlink /proc/$$/fd/0) | grep -q "character special" )
cat | tee >(awk 'NR % 2 == 0') >(awk '(NR+1) % 2 == 0')
Well, it's pretty trivial at the moment, but the underlying goal is to split the input, so it can be processed in parallel on multiple cores. If I understand correctly, the above code will split the input across exactly two cores. Does there exist some way to put the process substitution (i.e. ">(awk ' ... ')") in a loop?
Before trying to increase the number of cores, I first tried to see whether I could loop just two times with,
cat | tee $(for i in 1 2; do >(awk -vn="$i" '(NR + $n) % 2 == 0'); done)
but that didn't work.
It also occurred to me that maybe I'm presenting an X-Y problem. I did also consider using the split command, but as far as I can tell, it will only dump its output to files; it's no good for piping or process substitution. Any other ideas that would avoid needing to tee across a variable number of process substitutions?
Naturally, I tried a little Googlemancy, but only came up with answers to newbie questions, or tutorials aimed at newbies.
Thank you for your consideration.

Or if you want to avoid named pipes, since during development they tend to create lots of files, and the script has to clean them up afterwards, take a look at the 'coproc' feature bash has since version 4
Though, remember that 'man bash' under BUGS says, there may only be one active coproc at a time.
According to this it's not really such a big deal though.
And it won't kill the started coprocesses or anything if you start another process...
Here's a sample session: (the spaces are important btw. )
wry:~/ $ bash [19:02:43]
wry@blubmb:~$ coproc c1 ( cat )
[1] 4129
wry@blubmb:~$ coproc c2 ( cat )
bash: warning: execute_coproc: coproc [4129:c1] still exists
[2] 4130
wry@blubmb:~$ echo $c1_PID $c2_PID -- ${c1[@]} ${c2[@]}
4129 4130 -- 63 60 62 58
wry@blubmb:~$ echo aaac1 >&${c1[1]}
wry@blubmb:~$ echo bbbc2 >&${c2[1]}
wry@blubmb:~$ read -u ${c1[0]} line1
wry@blubmb:~$ read -u ${c2[0]} line2
wry@blubmb:~$ echo $line1 and $line2
aaac1 and bbbc2
wry@blubmb:~$ kill $c1_PID $c2_PID
wry@blubmb:~$
[1]- Terminated coproc c1 ( cat )
[2]+ Terminated coproc c2 ( cat )
wry@blubmb:~$ exit
exit
Just keep in mind that the filedescriptors you get for a coproc won't be available in subshells you execute with &
Eg. you cannot do
coproc X
( use X ) &

HT5463 Is it possible to use DND on a single number and will this apply to messages as well?

Can you use DND on a single phone number?

What do you mean by "use DND"? Do you mean you want to block a single user? Or let only a single user through. The latter would be fairly simple. Just make that person the only "Favorite" and set DND to allow only favorites through. Blocking only one person can be simply accomplished by assigning them customer ring and text tones of silence.

Is it possible to use "Delay Values" to create a frequency signal from digital "Count Edges" -task? (= are the results I'm getting correct?)

Hello.
I have a digital encoder from which I need freaquency information (to ultimately get rpm -infromation). The problem is that this task is inside a loop with 2 other DAQmx -tasks that are using "one sample on demand"-aquisition mode and if I configure this new counter task to be a freaquency task, it only updates once in ~ second which makes the whole loop lag.
I thus created an "artificial" freaquency signal by using "Count Edges" -aquicition mode and the "Delay Values" -block so that I substract the delayed signal from original "Count Edges" -signal. There is a 0,01s delay in the loop and I figured out that if the history of the "Delay Values" -block is 100 samples I would thus get the real edge-freaquency.
I tested this configuration and the results seem to be at least really close to correct but I have no idea if this idea is in any way correct...
This explanation was probably quite confusing so please see the picture attached.
Thanks a lot in advance!

First of all, thank you for quick reply. Unfortunately I don't have the acces to the vi. until tomorrow.
And yes, I think you understood correctly: essentially this arragement measures how many edges have been counted during one iteration. This is how I figured out that this could then be used as a frequency measurement:
1. From the "Edges - Delayed Edges" I get the information on how many edges have been counted during last iteration.
2. I "know" (really I don't?) that one iteration lasts ~0,01s because of the delay in the loop.
3. There is 2048 edges in one round of the encoder so I get the rpm as follows: rpm = (edges - delayed edges)/204,8*60(s)
(If I was using history size of one as you suggested it would be: rpm = (edges-delayed edges)/2048 * 60) However using history size of 10 and taking it account in the multiplication smoothens the response nicely.
But doesn't this arragement count on the fact that the vi runs smoothly and there is no additional lag?
I quess using another loop and notifiers for a dedicated freaquency measurement as you suggested could be worth trying. I just have to first learn how to use them.
If I do use them will the main loop run smoothly and not wait for every update of the notifier? This would be essential since the freaquency output refresses only about once in a second if I use the continious aquisition mode.

All you can do is create an account to use on another iOS device of Mac running OS X 10.7.2 or higher, if you have one. If you don't, perhaps a friend with one would do this for you. Or, as a long shot, you could try going to the genius bar at a nearby Apple store to see if they would allow you to do this on one of their devices.

Can I use a thunderbolt display with an hdmi converter to a PC?

I bought a Thunderbolt display, and have seen a ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port to hdmi converter.
Is it possible to use a ThunderBolt display as PC display if I use this converter?
thanks!

Probably not. Unlikely. The ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port-to-hdmi converters are intended for connecting the thunderbolt port on an Mac to an HDMI input on a display or TV. You can't assume these converters work backwards and without knowing exactly what converter you are talking about, and what video out your pc has ... it's impossible to say.
I would add that one should think long & hard about risking a $1000 Apple thunderbolt display by connecting it to something it wasn't designed for.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] using begin childName Display method

Oops. Sorry about that, Craig. I didn't realize I might leave that impression.
I'm sure the tiled
views work since you have so many examples of these and it's a relatively
simple concept, isn't it?
Not to mention a necessary one. I didn't have time to debug my code and find
out what I was doing
wrong where the tiled views are concerned. I decide to just try to implement
tiled views later and
just stick with one of everything for now and get that working.
Yes, I have reviewed your comments and am taking them into consideration. I am
able to save and
retrieve values with my model at this point.
Thanks.

Belinda,
He may also be binding the models, howerver, he needs to change the way
the value appears before it is displayed which is why you would use the
display events.
Your null value issue is a completely different issue and has nothing to
do with it being a tiled view. I don't want anyone getting the idea
that the tiledView binding is broken. It does work. You issue should
have something to do with the inconsistent way in which you are getting
your model. At least from what I could tell in your source code that you
sent me.
Have you reviewed my comments I sent to you in your source code?

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] using begin<childName>Display method
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I want to be able to conditionally show/hide data as well as format
it for display without touching the model. I found the
begin<childName>Display and end<childName>Display methods that
provide the hooks to do this, but I have been unsuccessful in getting
these method to execute. I added the fireChildDisplayEvents="true"
attribute to the jato:useViewBean tag, but this has not helped. I
also added some debug to the ContainerViewBase class in the public
boolean beginChildDisplay(ChildDisplayEvent event) method to see what
was happening. The displayMethodMap was returning null for the child
display methods that were in the view bean. I covered all the bases
(compiling, redeploying, etc.) and nothing has worked. Is there
anything I am missing or is there some working example of this?

Seems like there is a small bug in the code generating this tag.

To answer your question - it should work as you described. Some of the JatoSample make use of the defaultCommandChild. Can you try

Method to use to display (n) number of strings

hi,
I have a list of strings stored in an array, I need to be able to show these on screen after pressing a button. I am not sure what to use to display these, I setup an action listener on the button to create new JLabel for every string in the array which are created using a while loop, as the number cant be predefined. however by adding a new label to the panel it will only update after having left the screen and come back to it, is there another method I could use as this is obviously no good, maybe I should not use labels to display the strings. However I cannot create a preset number of labels, as the number required is unkown.
any ideas?

If you want the really cheap way to do it, you can use a label with multiple lines by putting <html>...</html> tags around the text and <br> between the lines. :-)
The way we do it here though is to use a JTextArea which is formatted to look like a label.
JLists are another way to do it, but JTextArea can wrap the lines, which JList cannot.

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?
