Learning script

Hi
All can any onemimic this as a script logic and explain to me how the script in association works with this logic below, so i can learn writing scripts
customer3
           customer d
                customer d1
                      baselevelcust
this is the hierarchy
when country = 3
   select plncustomer(parent)   //customer3
       when brand1 is adjusted or changed
        allocate to all bas(customer3)
       endwhen
endwhen
that means whenever the changes are done for a particular brand for a particular month in that year
they should be allocated for that year as the above logic to all customers in the base level
thanks ur help is appreciated
and it will teach me basically how a script can be built
thisis my learning curve
thanks
lakshmi

Hi
Guys
Is this the way
*when country
*is %country%
*SELECT(PLNCUST,ID,CALC=Y)
*DIM ACCOUNTS WHAT= BAS(PLANBRAND) WHERE = BAS(PLANBRAND);
USING = BAS(PLNCUST); TOTAL= <<<
*endwhen
thanks

Learning to script Adobe products - Javascript or ExtendScript?

Hi there,
I know that ExtendScript is a dialect of Javascript, so if I want to learn scripting, should I first study Javascript or just plough straight into ExtendScript?
Regards,
David

I just plowed into extend script and got a reference book of javascript. Trying to learn javascript first might be confusing in that most if not all the references for it are for web application.

How do I start learning InDesign Scripting?

Hello Everyone!
I just cut down my workflow from 40 hours per document to less than 20 using scripts! So exciting!
Can anyone suggest a good recent book or online resource to start learning scripting for Indesign?
I'm loving what we can do with scripts, but I want to start understanding what exactly I'm doing, not just how to do it.
Thanks a bunch!
Amy

Hi, Amy!
A good start would be the following books:
Grant Gamble
InDesign CS5 Automation – Using XML & JavaScript
Peter Kahrel
Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript
Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript - O'Reilly Media
And the DOM (Document Object Model) documentation here (especially the chm files):
Indesign JavaScript Help

Script troubles

Hello!
Learning scripting and I am running into a wall, I have gathered some stuff from the interwebs and put it together. My main goal is to run a script that gathers my Application, Security (with Event Ids) and System logs with Error, Critical and warning
levels. When the log is ran it will export everything to a excel file in my directory of choice. it seem I am unable to gather more than one even level and more than one log at a time. I would like all three exported to the excel document.
$opt3 = Read-Host "Would you like to export the details to csv file (Y/N)?"
$server14 = Read-Host "Enter the server name"
[int]$n = Read-Host "Last how many hours events need to be grabbed?"
$event = Read-host "Application / Security / System / Others (Specify the name)?"
$start1 = (Get-Date).addHours(-[int]$n)
$start2 = (Get-Date)
$strdat = (get-date).ToString()
if ($opt3 -eq 'Y') {
If ($event -eq 'Security') {
$entry2 = Read-Host "FailureAudit / SuccessAudit ?"
$location1 = Read-Host "Enter a drive location for the report"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry2 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Export-csv -Force -Path "$location1\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry2-$server14.csv"
Invoke-Item "$location1\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry2-$server14.csv"
else {
$entry0 = Read-Host "Information / Warning / Error ?"
$location2 = Read-Host "Enter a drive location for the report"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry0 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Export-csv -Force -Path "$location2\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry0-$server14.csv"
Invoke-Item "$location2\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry0-$server14.csv"
else {
If ($event -eq 'Security') {
$entry3 = Read-Host "FailureAudit / SuccessAudit ?"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry3 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Out-GridView
else {
$entry1 = Read-Host "Information / Warning / Error ?"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry1 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Out-GridView
any help would be appreciated!

Use the new and better event log utility. Get-EventLog is for pre Vista systems.
$filter=@{
Logname=@('System','Security')
ID=@(20,1014,3095)
Level=@(2,3)
Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable $filter

Need a script

We switched over to a new print server and started using a new naming scheme for the printers and I'm
kind of in need of a script.
Something along these lines
Part 1:
And something about looking at whether their current default printer is a local one or not, if not local
the look at their current default printer (before the script starts) and then after the script is done with part 2 make the new matching printer their default
Part 2:
If network printer X found install network printer X1, if not ignore line
If network printer Y found install network printer Y1, if not ignore line
etc
etc
Also if this could be a logon script it would be nice, even if the machine isn't logged into until 30 days
after the script was pushed.

Hi,
Yes I would appreciate that, don't have time to learn scripting right now.
You should read this then:

I need a script that will find the computer a user last logged into.

I am still learning scripting, I need a script that will allow me to pull in usernames from a csv file. Find what computer they last logged into and output that to an csv file.
I have looked all over and can't find exactly what I need.
I found the following script but I need to add the resuitsize unlimited but can not figure out where to put it we have a large environment. Also I need to be able to grab username from a csv file. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.
## Find out what computers a user is logged into on your domain by running the script
## and entering in the requested logon id for the user.
## This script requires the free Quest ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory

# is not blank and that it exists in Active Directory
Function Get-Username {
$Global:Username = Read-Host "Enter username you want to search for"
if ($Username -eq $null){
Write-Host "Username cannot be blank, please re-enter username!!!!!"
Get-Username}
$UserCheck = Get-QADUser -SamAccountName $Username
if ($UserCheck -eq $null){
Write-Host "Invalid username, please verify this is the logon id for the account"
Get-Username}
get-username resultsize unlimited
$computers = Get-QADComputer | where {$_.accountisdisabled -eq $false}
foreach ($comp in $computers)
$Computer = $comp.Name
$ping = new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$Reply = $null
$Reply = $ping.send($Computer)
if($Reply.status -like 'Success'){
#Get explorer.exe processes
$proc = gwmi win32_process -computer $Computer -Filter "Name = 'explorer.exe'"
#Search collection of processes for username
ForEach ($p in $proc) {
$temp = ($p.GetOwner()).User
if ($temp -eq $Username){
write-host "$Username is logged on $Computer"

If you are querying by user "resultset size" will be of no use.
You also have functions that are never used and the body code doe snot look for users.
Here is what you scrip looks like if printed well. It is just a jumble of pasted together and unrelated items.

I suggest finding the original code then use the learning link at the top of this page to help you understand how it works in Powershell.

You are much better off getting spamtrainer and let it do this for you.
However, for general education purposes read on

This tells you what the bayes db has beend fed with so far. Whether this happend automatically or manually is a different issue.
sa-learn will not run automatically unless you told it to by means of a startup item, cron job, .... If you did you should know which logs to check.

A few questions about indesign CS3 scripting

1.     I often do one thing that pressing a Ctrl + ~, followed by a Ctrl + Shift + E. So I have spent one day trying to write a script today but failed to. I am going to be insane sooner or later.
I have tried this line "app.menus[0].menuElements[10].menuElements[1].shortcutKey" for "Ctrl + Shift + E". This line is the farthest point I can get. It doesn't work.
2.     if (app.menuActions.item (5262).name == "Stop BlackLining" || app.menuActions.item (5262).name == "Start BlackLining")
is not equal to
if (app.menuActions.item (5262).name == ("Stop BlackLining" || "Start BlackLining"))
why?
3.     I try this line "app.menuActions.item (5262).name" in ESTK. JavaScript Console reads "Start BlackLining".
When I select and click the menu "Start BlackLining", the menu's contents changes to "Stop BlackLining". See below.
Then I try the line refered above. JavaScript Console reads "Start BlackLining" again. As you can see, I consider that it should be "Stop BlackLining". The two different menus use the same index in Indesign.
But when I only click their parent menu "BlackLining" once and then try the line, JavaScript Console reads "Stop BlackLining". That's normal. But how come? Do I click their parent menu to refresh all the menus to make it normal?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tips. When I write a script, I will open all the Help Document, Object Model Viewer, Core JavaScript Classes and ScriptUI Classes.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}There are some reasons to avoid dealing with selections in scripts, but perhaps in this case it is correct to do so. Then you would use app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);
After reading instruction in OMV, I can't figure it out what exactly "app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);" does.
As the "Ctrl+Shift+E" is a shortcut customized for starting or stopping the function of the Plug-In "BlackLining" (The Plug-In's name is BlackLining).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}In JavaScript you should use === and !== instead of == and !=, unless you want to be tripped up by weird type coercion problems.
But anyhow, hwy would you think these would be equivalent?
First, let's write out your first case parenthesized according to the JS precedence rules, so there is no ambiguity:
((app.menuActions.item(5262).name=="Stop BlackLining") || (app.menuActions.item(5262.name == "Start BlackLining"))
Hopefully that's what you expect. Let's suppose it is the start case. Then that will evaluate to:
((false) || (true))
which evaluates to true.
But your second case is nothing like that.:
(app.menuActions.item (5262).name == ("Stop BlackLining" || "Start BlackLining"))
So first the interpreter evaluates ("Stop BlackLining" || "Start Blacklining"), that is, it takes the logical OR of two strings. This is not a very useful thing to do. It will always return the first one. That is ("a" || "b") always evalutes to "a". So then you have:
(app.menuActions.item (5262).name == "Stop BlackLining")
and if we're in the start case, then it is: false.
I think there is no way to make it short, right?
In fact, it's hard for me to find material of learning script t just execpt serveral PDFs (about basic of script) was added when the software was installed. I learned the C Language before. I try to remember the similar usage in C Language. Maybe I am wrong.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}As for your third question, well, the language is a bit confused, but menus can change their appearance when they are clicked on. That's a good reason not to use menu names or positions in scripts. Doesn't this blacklining extension (whatever it is) define a stopBlackLining() function somewhere in the DOM? Or someting like that?
BTW, "BlackLining" is a Plug-In. Is Plug-In equal to extension in English? And DOM is short for document object model? It seems there are a lot more for me to learn.
I want to tell you what kind of script I want to write. Make it simple. Forgiving my poor English.
Let's get it started.
I have to open many documents at the same time and then shut down the plug-in "BlackLining". So I have to press the shortcut "Ctrl+~", which means selecting the next document, and then press the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+E", which is set by me and means starting or stopping the plug-in.
When I finished some operions, which can't be proceeding while the plug-in "BlackLining" is on, I have to press the shortcut "Ctrl+~", and then press shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+E" to start "BlackLining".
I have to do it over and over again day after day. I am almost insane. (Problem one)
So, I want to write a script, let the computer do it for me. Further more, the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+E" is used for both starting and stoping "BlackLining". Can't be set separately.
At the same time, I don't know whether the "BlackLining" is on or not. What if it's off? Maybe old documents are on, some subsequent are off. See below:
So I have to check the state before I press "Ctrl+Shift+E". (Problem two and three)
Can you help me out? Thanks.
If you need "BlackLining", you can download demo at http://www.blacklining.com/.

So now because of the action builder in Acrobat X and LC 9, is scripting still necessary?

Dont bash me for this, im a n00b and dont know anything about scripting. But it seems that I can do a lot of what I wanted to do when I didnt know how to write Java but now using the action builder I can do it.

The action builder in LiveCycle Designer is handy for beginners to get a form to behave as they want. It generates the code that you can then look at, learn from, and further modify to suit your needs. Some of the more advanced things require customized code, so you'll need to learn scripting to move beyond the basics.

What programming language should i learn first?

Hi, i'm Francis, from Rome. As you can see, i have a MacBook White with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Yesterday i downloaded *Xcode with iPhone SDK (version 3.1)*. I want to create Mac and iPhone/iPod/iPad applications.
I read that there are several programming languages: Java, Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, C, C++, Objective C, Objective C++, Carbon, Classic, BSD, etc...
What should i begin with? +I think Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, C and Objective C, but i'm not sure!+
Can you help me? Thanks!

Java, C, C++, Objective-C are languages. Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, Carbon, and Classic are what are known as APIs - resources you can use in your programs but not languages in their own right. BSD is short for BSD UNIX, and it's an operating system (that's the foundation for OS X). HTML is a document format more than a language.
What language(s) to learn depends on your objectives or needs. OS X comes with Python, Ruby, PERL, AppleScript, and PHP languages (and JavaScript in the web browser). Current versions also include Java. If you install the OS X development tools, it adds C, C++, and Objective-C along with the XCode development environment.
Each of the languages has it's strengths and weaknesses. From a purely educational standpoint, C is a high-level language that will teach you about low-level programming. Java teaches very strong object-oriented programming.
Objective-C would permit you to develop using the iOS toolkits for iPhone and iPad, and also application programming for OS X.
PERL, Python, and Ruby are all simple to learn scripting languages and very powerful for all sorts of automation tasks, text processing, and CGI scripting.

Script to select all overflow text frames and fit them to content?

I have a document with several text frames that have overset text, due to replacing a font. I was looking for a script that would:
1. find all the text frames that have overset text
2. apply "fit frame to content" command for each of these
Can anyone please help me here? I'm trying to learn scripting but some of these things still confuse me. Thanks.

hi,
give a try to this js code:
var _d = app.documents[0];
var _allStories = _d.stories;
for(var n=_allStories.length-1;n>=0;n--){
var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories[n].textContainers;
for(var m=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;m>=0;m--){
_storyAllTextFrames[m].select();
            //Fit Frame to Content:
            try{
            app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(11291).invoke();
                }catch(e){};
           try{
           app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(278).invoke();
                }catch(e){};

I'm NOT a scripter. Sorry, don't remember exact origin of this code, but it works...

Indesign Script to import Library asset beneath all graphic frames

Hi all,
I wonder if anybody could help me with a problem? (I'm learning scripting but some things are still a bit tricky)
I have managed a script to place a Library Asset onto a page.
What I need however is a script to place multiple instances of this Library asset directly beneath every graphic frame that exists in my whole document. If it can be done, I preferably need the asset to snap to the bottom left of the frames, top of the asset touching the bottom of the graphic frame.
This is from Library 'Library' and the asset is 'Test'
Has anybody a script or something similar? Thank you.

AFAIK, you’re wasting your time. If you want those options you’ll need to use file>place. It is worth noting that many of those options are sticky so if you need the same option all the time just place one file and choose the appropriate options.
