Looking for AppleScript site

Hello all,
I've tried a couple Google searches to find some AppleScripts, but haven't had much luck. I thought it would be a pretty straightforward task that I'm trying to find a solution for: Open a browser window with the selected text as the URL.
I've yet to find anything helpful, and don't want to hack a solution over a couple days if I can find a ready-made one.
Does anyone know where such a script might be found?
Pointers appreciated,
Markie

Hello Markie,
I am not an expert at scripting enough to know how easy/possible it is to grab the "selected text", but there are built in scripts in the /Library/Scripts/URLs/ which are made to open a browser window with a URL.
If this functionality is all you need, you can use the "Open URL" in every application's Services menu which will do exactly what you are asking.
By the way, Apple's AppleScript Resources page shows several references and third-party websites. Perhaps going there will give you the answers you want.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
Thanks in and advance for suggestions

Hi,
I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.
For troubleshooting Windows updates, if needed:

Looking for Free Site Search

I'm looking for a Site Search script (hopefully free) for **
windows servers ** that works like ones I've used in UNIX.
One of the great features the UNIX program has is the ability
to define or restrict the files and folders to be gone through in
the search. (define to INCLUDE .htm, .html, .php, etc only...
EXCLUDE files and folders e.g. /stats, /cgi-bin folders, .js files,
etc.).
I'm new to windows servers and dreamweaver so I'm a bit in
the dark here.
Any good suggestion will be much appreciated.

Looking for a site to publish my dvds

I'm looking for a good self publishing website for my dvds. I tried Lulu and I really liked it, but they don't have custom spines for the Dvd cases. You can upload a picture for the front and back but the spine you can only type some text and choose the background/text color. And that really irritates me.
So I'm wondering if there are any other good sites kinda like Lulu for publishing dvds.

Try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try again.
Next, if necessary, continue with:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
Lastly:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Looking for web sites w/ advanced text search

A group of potential customers are looking for a powerful text search engine for a web-published database, and I proposed they use Oracle 9i and Oracle Text for this purpose.
They may be interested but they demand to "see it in action".
Can you help my find web sites which use advanced features of Oracle Text to produce near-natural language search ?
My potential customers' context is : They have a few hundreds of structured documents which they want to consolidate and web-enable.
The main audience might be people who rarely use Internet, so ideally the search engine should be capable of "natural language" search.
An expert thesaurus has been constructed by the customers already.
I think Oracle Text could be a good enough option if we can take advantage of the thesaurus and the documents being structured, but I don't know of any web site that use these features of Oracle Text.
Thanks a lot if you can help.

Try tahiti.oracle.com. A search engine for the Oracle documentation set using Oracle Text. Each documentation
release (e.g. 8.1.7) is about 300Mb of data (around 110,000 rows in the db).
There are commercial references for Oracle Text but I would prefer to have your email address so we can
follow up in a separate thread. Thanks.

Hi Hugh
Rather than attempting to find those files, I suggest you lock the Shared Object folder. This precludes any Flash cookie info from being written to your HD.
To do so, go to the Finder and navigate to the Macromedia folder - Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Continue drilling down to the Shared Objects folder. Now, simply move to the trash the contents of the Shared Objects folder. Once the folder is empty, click on the Shared Objects folder, Command/I to open its Info panel and click on the Locked option, then close the panel.
From here on out, no information will be written to that file. I did this awhile ago and have not had any adverse effect from locking the folder.

Every ID i add on here doesnt work...it keeps telling me that the ID in incorrect. What a pain in the rear. I will look for another site if they don't want my money.

Recalling, it definitely was a fake update notification because it had 3 things to install and Mozilla never sends that. The toolbar and some search engine and I don't recall the third, but that was the start of it all. Ever since I have been getting these update notifications. I took you guys advice and used a link provided and went to Fire Fox and downloaded an upgrade. I bookmarked that link and to be safe from now on I will only download it manually from there. It is too bad because for years Fire Fox has been automatically updating but it seems like these phony installers link to a computer and harass them. There was a Google redirect and even a G-mail interference. Next thing I have to do is use those malware and virus cleaners and try and remove any tag links that might be calling these fake update notices. Another one that I think caused trouble is an Adobe Flash Player update. Same thing, Adobe always updated automatically, then it started trying to add these things same as Fire Fox. Thanks everybody, at least I know better what to look out for.

Looking for AppleScript / Automator Help

I have a spreadsheet of 2000+ users which includes their user ID, email address and a temporary password. I need an automated way to individually e-mail each user their user ID and temporary password, along with a paragraph of login instructions. It doesn't seem too overly complex but I don't know where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

All due respect to Camelot, working with Excel is not so bad, you just need to work around its limitations. the following should work, without the need of creating a tab-delimited file:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
-- use the correct range for your data, obviously
          set theSpreadsheetPeople to value of range "A1:C2000" of worksheet 1 of document 1
end tell
repeat with thisPerson in theSpreadsheetPeople
          set {userid, email, pass} to items 1 thru 3 of thisPerson
          tell application "Mail"
                    set newMess to make new outgoing message at end of outgoing messages with properties {subject:"This is the Subject line", sender:"[email protected]", visible:true}
                    tell newMess
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:email}
                              set content to "Text string with email contents, including user id: " & userid & " and password: " & pass
                    end tell
-- uncomment the following line to send automatically
-- send newMess
          end tell
end repeat
test it a few times on a short list of data lines (say 4 or 5 lines) with the send command commented out, so that you can make sure that the email is being structured properly and looks the way you want it to. Once you're satisfied, you can uncomment the send line and use visible:false in the make new outgoing message line. that will let Mail create and send the emails invisibly. but again, make sure the emails are being created correctly before you uncomment that send line - nothing worse then sending out a bulk message with errors in it.

Looking for web sites

I seem to remember a while ago I found a link via the apple site which guided you to several web sites created on iweb andpublished on .mac.
The idea was to let you have a look at what sort of web sites people have created to let you try your own.
Where would I find this please?

New bee looking for applescript help with text edit app

I have a huge text files (20+) , I want to find a list of words like weather, farmers, ploughing. I want to find these words one at a time, as my text file is 250+ Mb in size.
I want applescript to count the how many times each word appears in the text.
Paste that occurrence of word into an spreadsheet file in a row named after text file , and in a column named weather, farmers, ploughing.
Please help.
Thanks much.
CF
PS so far I can open the text files with applescript, that is about the extent of my ability in programing.

For a file of that size, you would need to use some shell utilities to get decent performance. To count words, the following script breaks up the text into words, then counts the number of times the specified word is found (a dictionary file is used as an example, so the match is equivalent to 'contains'):
<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: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set theFile to "/usr/share/dict/web2" -- a 2.5MB list of words
set someWords to {¬
{theWord:"weather", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"farmers", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"ploughing", theCount:0}}
repeat with anItem in someWords
set aWord to quoted form of theWord of anItem
try -- break up into individual words, then search and count
set theCount of anItem to (do shell script "tr -cs '[:alpha:]' " & quoted form of linefeed & " < " & theFile & " | grep -ic " & aWord) as integer
end try
end repeat
someWords
</pre>
Is this related to your Automator post?
