Multiple replaces with JS

Is there anway to make multiple replaces in JS wihtout having to continually restore the results in a new variable? Currently this is the way I am doing it:
    var myContents = myContents.replace(/ +/g," ")
    var myContents = myContents.replace(/\|vertsb\|/g,"")
    var myContents = myContents.replace(/\|icrl\|/g,"")
    var myContents = myContents.replace(/\|wspon\|/g,"")
Is it possible without having to overwrite the old myContents variable? This is strictly a performance question. I am trying to make the script faster.

Ok, the results are in. Nothing made a significant difference either way, but both ideas actually consisntently took a fraction (I mean literally a fraction) longer.
I combined 18 searches into 1 using Harbs suggestion and it went (per document) from 120 to 132 milliseconds (just those 18 searches).
I combined 60 searches using tomaxxi's suggestion and it went from 210 to 212-215 milliseconds (just those 60 searches).
I used the JS date object to time it.
I think what I have learned from this is not to worry about overwriting a variable ;-).
Here is something more interesting though:
Before I transferred these searches into JS I was using InDesign's findGrep().
Here is the before and after in CS3 and CS4, this is for about 200 searches (in seconds):
CS3 using findGrep():   3.257
CS4 using findGrep():   20.025
CS5 using findGrep():   74.523
CS3 using JS:   0.461
CS4 using JS:   0.607
What happened that Grep searches are taking 7 times as long in CS4 vs. CS3? And CS5 is walking in the footsteps of its predecessor by taking over a minute for something that used to take 3 seconds in CS3. What is going on? This is important for searches that can't be done with JS, i.e. formatted text.
After further testing I see the problem is only if the text is *not* overset.

Multiple replacements with same problem

I cannot count how many replacement Motorola android RAZR HD I have had but its getting ridiculous. Must have been at least 4 in the last couple weeks. My wife has had her iPhone since we started our contract but I must be at 10+ droids by now. They all have their own issues but mostly all fail to charge properly. Thought I may be at fault so for this last one I went and bought brand new chargers at Verizon store. But nope, I have been using this phone 28 hours and I cannot get it to charge. Just over one day! If I am told that the fix for this is another droid, well that may be the end of Verizon for me. I live in a remote area with satellite internet and so for me to send my info to the cloud and pull it to new device costs me a lot each time. Don't even get me started w Verizon cloud issues. When I first asked how to transfer ally info to new phone I was told via Verizon cloud. I got none of my photos. They are in the cloud and I have to one by one download them. I didn't have to do that for my contacts but I do for photos, well that's not transferring ALL my stuff as I asked now is it. Anyways back to this garbage droid they keep sending me. Anyone w any ideas? cause if I can only swap for another garbage droid that will only cost me $ to put only my contacts on and then give same issue Tomorrow I would rather cancel our two phones and go w a company that understands I can only follow their rules for so long before I need someone to make a real world decision and get me a phone that I will not want to throw multiple times every day.

Hi Jasoninadks,
Oh no! 4 replacement devices in weeks is too many! Let's locate your missing charge. Are you purchasing chargers made by the manufacturer for this phone? Has there been any liquid or physical damage to this device? Where you able to get the pictures downloaded from the cloud http://vz.to/1pHC1Q6? Are you eligible for new equipment? Dial #UPG from your cellphone.
Thanks,

Replacing multiple "replaces" with a cleaner/shorter version

Hi,
I have a script to clean up the names of files in a directory, removing rubbish entries. It runs something like this.
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-abc"
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-def"
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-ghi"
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-jkl"
The so, a file called "test -abc.txt" becomes test.txt, and a file called "test2 -abc -def.txt" becomes test2.txt
However, I'm sure there's a shorter, more elegant way of doing this, (there always is with PS).
e.g. I'd like to set up some form of input and array, something like.
variable = "abc", "def", "ghi"
foreach $entry in $variable { $newfile = $newfile - replace $entry"}
Unless I can simply pipe multiple entries directly into the replace?
thanks everyone,
Gavin

You can specify multiple patterns inside a single regular expression, if this is going to just be hard-coded. If you want to do this dynamically, then your approach of looping over an array also has potential.
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-(abc|def|ghi|jkl)"
that's great!
and what about if I want to delete brackets... it doesn't seem to quite work when I do the following.
INPUT:
$dir = dir | where {!$_.psiscontainer}
$dir.fullname
foreach ($file in $dir)
$newfile = $file.basename -replace '[.]', " "
$newfile = $newfile -replace "-(abc|def|ghi|jkl|(|))"
"renaming "+$file.BaseName + " into $newfile"
rename-item $file.name $newfile
OUTPUT:
T:\Downloads\Test1 (-abc).txt
T:\Downloads\test2-abc ().txt
T:\Downloads\testbase.txt
T:\Downloads\testc-abc.txt
renaming Test1 (-abc) into Test1 ()
renaming test2-abc () into test2 ()
renaming testbase into testbase
renaming testc-abc into testc

Find and replace with multiple files and with a watch folder

I am trying to create a watch folder that uses red_menace script to:
1. Have a folder that receives multiple xml files that run the script one by one.
2. then move the files to an output folder.
I tried modifying the set TheFIle to choose file -- the original text file to:
with multiple selections allowed
But that doesn't seem to work. I know i'm missing a step. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
The way i'd like to setup things is having an input folder on the desktop (or just have the application on the desktop and I can drag the files onto it), and let it do it's thing. Once it's done have it export the xml files into an output folder.

Replacing multiple spaces with another character

i need to replace multiple spaces with another char in a string
my code is
Dim text as String="a bit much a little much" Dim arr As String() = text.Split({" "c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)Dim newtext As String = String.Join(" ", arr) MsgBox(newtext)
it returns to "a bit much a little much "
But i want to replace only long spaces with "=" as "a bit much =a little much"
How can i do that?

This version uses two spaces to split the string and then trims any additional single spaces. It returns "a bit much = a little much".
Dim text As String = "a bit much a little much "
Dim parts() As String = text.Split({" "}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Dim newText As String
If parts.Length = 2 Then
newText = parts(0).Trim & " = " & parts(1).Trim
End If

[SOLVED] Share Multiple Directories With Samba On Arch Linux and XP

Hello,
I have had the worst luck so far with Samba, which is far more likely because of an error on my part than on Samba's.
I can only seem to share one directory regardless of how I setup my smb.conf. And worse yet, if I mess with Samba, smb.conf, after the first time I set it up it doesn't work again until I reinstall my OS. Now I'm sure that reinstalling isn't the only option, but I haven't figured out how to make it work again any other way. I've tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cache, deleting /etc/samba and so on, still can't connect to it from XP when I reinstall it.
I'm running Arch64 and I want to share some directories with a laptop running Windows XP.
I want to share my home folder, but have it accessible from XP only by me, share my mother's home folder, and have it accessible on XP only by her (well actually I guess it needs to be accessible by both, since i'm the admin), share my media-server (a collection of five hard drives where I store movies and such), and have it read/write by both of us. And finally share /srv so I can work on that from the XP computer as well. I think that's all. And I would like to share printers between the two computers. I would also like to access XP files from here.
I've always been able to get the media-server to share, but that's it, nothing else. And it doesn't always work right. It doesn't seem to want to follow sym links, but like I say if I mess with it it will stop working all together. So I'm not sure what to do.
A thought was to instead make a /media/samba-share directory and share that, and inside it have symlinks to my home, media-server, etc. However, that will only work if samba will follow symlinks for me.
Here is the smb.conf I am planning to use at the moment:
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Any good guide on this matter would be appreciated, I have looked at several, but more can't hurt . Networking isn't my thing so to speak, so please be specific in any explanations. Thanks again.

Well it seems that my trouble all started when I began using the 'printable = yes' option for shares. Since I removed that the troubles seem to have left me.
Does anyone know why that is listed as on option in smb.conf here:
# A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
# the "staff" group
;[public]
; comment = Public Stuff
; path = /home/samba
; public = yes
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @staff
As well as in a few other examples if it doesn't work? I seen the example and assumed that option was needed to print from those shared directories.
Also, it seems that the comma is not needed between the 'valid users' names.
Also, I guess it wasn't Windows XP's fault either but rather my own ignorance. I like the idea of blaming Windows better though.....
I hope this servers to help others to aviod my mistakes.

How can I return multiple values with PL/SQL Web Services

Hi,
I'm new to developping Web Services. I'm doing some tests with JDeveloper and OC4J on my local machine with a Web Services based on a PL/SQL function within a package. Right now that function only returns one value. So the xml response only has one output.
I'd like to know how can I return multiple values with my PL/SQL Web Service. For example, if I want to return an employee's name and id? And that the xml contains two output : <employee>, <empid>?
Reginald
ps : I have searched the forum and I couldn't find an answer to this question, if that has been discussed AND answered before, can you please post the link? Thanks

Alright, I actually found my answer. Since this was asked I think as a followup somewhere else I'll give my answer.
It is very simple, all you have to do is create an Object Type and then Return that object type. After that, JDeveloper will take care of everything and you will have an xml response with multiple values. Here
{color:#ff0000}
create or replace TYPE person AS OBJECT
( id_interv number,
first_name VARCHAR2(50),
last_name VARCHAR2(50),
date_birth date
);{color}
Then your function used in your Web Service should look something like this :
{color:#ff0000}
function info_emp (p_empno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN person AS
l_emp person := person(-1,'','','');
BEGIN
SELECT first_name
,last_name
,emp_no
INTO l_emp.first_name
,l_emp.last_name
,l_emp.emp_no
FROM emp
WHERE upper(emp_no) = upper (emp_no);
{color}
{color:#ff0000}
RETURN l_emp;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
l_emp := person (-1,'n/a','n/a','n/a');
RETURN l_emp ;
END info_emp;{color}
{color:#ff0000}{color:#000000}After that, this is what the xml response looks like :{color}{color}
<first_name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</first_name>
<last_name xsi:type="xsd:string">Doe</last_name>
<emp_no xsi:type="xsd:string">0250193</emp_no>

Multiple devices with the same GUID

Hi,
According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
Registers the device in a Management Zone.
You can use the following options:
g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

Hi Craig,
OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
I then also tested:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
and also:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
Is there any way to achieve this?

The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

Multiple Orders with Different reasons on a Single day

Hi,
I am recently learning Device Management of IS-U Electricity. Now I have a problem with meter reading orders generated at the time of periodic meter reading with reason 01 and different system generated orders with reasons like 22, 21 , 16 and 11 which are the orders get created internally based on device replacement and modification.
If the scheduled meter reading date lies on the day or the day before of device replacement or modification, the meter reading for the periodic order is getting prorated based on the meter reading entered at the time of replacement or modification. This is what I dont want.
Is it possible to have multiple orders with different reasons on the same date? Any configuration changes are welcome.
- Arghya

Hi,
You can acheive this using following config changes.
SAP Utilities --> Device Managment -->Meter Reading --> Meter Reading Order -->Order Creation --> Define Automatic Interpolation for Meter Reading Reason.
Uncheck the 'Auto Interpolation' flag for Meter Reading reason 01.
This will not use the Replacement or Modifiaction read.
Let me know if anything more is reuiqred.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit Thakur.

Multiple replacements in properties file

I have an entry in a properties file in which I wish to make two replacements, e.g.
TEST_TEXT=Here is first text {0}. Here is second text {1}
How can I do the multiple replacements in an ADF outputText? I know the syntax for a single replacement...
<af:outputText value="#{nls['TEST_TEXT:blah']}" />
Thanks,
Gavin

Hi,
I'm sorry but appareantly there is an internal problem with the getStringArray method. I didn't realize that, I was only going through the docs.
- You can extend the ResourceBundle class and override the handleGetObject method
- You can use the ListResourceBundle class
- Or you can use a regular Properties object and split the string with the StringTokenizer
I'm sorry for this inconvenience.
Regards,
Kurt.

Batch Rename Multiple files with different names

Hi,
Is there any way to batch rename multiple files with individual names? I.e
IMG_123 changed to RSP45AS
IMG_124 changed to MOL157A
IMG_125 changed to AGKH135
IMG_126 changed to MNOLH13
IMG_127 changed to ASFBLUG
Etc.
Are they any programs or scripts or plug ins that would do that job?
Thanks

HI there Onemorewave,
It looks like there is a batch remname feature included in OS X 10.10 Yosimte if you are planing on updating.

Replace With feature error in Adobe XI Pro

Hi,
I get the following error when trying to use the Replace With feature: "Unable to highlight text across multiple text boxes."
I'm attempting to replace one term with another throughout a 38-page text document.
I'm new to XI Pro, so maybe there's a setting I need to make, but I'm not sure. As a copy editor, the main reason I wanted to use XI was for this search and replace feature. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Bill,
I don't think you have the XI version or have read about its latest features. The replace feature is one of the things Adobe touts with the XI version for the very purpose of editing. For example, I just lifted this from Adobe's main page (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/editing-pdf-documents.html) on XI:
NEW Find and replace text
In one step, you can find and update every instance of a word or phrase throughout an entire PDF.
Editing PDFs has been one of the things missing in the past and from the Adobe site, it seems they are trying to improve on that with XI as stated on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-editor-pdf-files.html.
Thanks.

'replace with after effects composition'

hey guys, so when editing this one video in pr, I decided to color correct a couple clips in AE so I just right clicked them and chose replace with after effects composition, so it would nicely replace in the pr timeline with the corrected footage.
except when I finished the third one I looked back and realized the first two clips were replaced with the thrird clip! so that clip appeared 3 times in my video! I was trying to import the ae comps separately and everything but it kept thinking that they were the same clip, the ae projects were all named clip 1, clip 2 and clip 3, I could open them up in ae and they were fine, just not when bringing them to ae.
why is this? thats not supposed to be right? I should be able to 'replace with after effects comp' for multiple clips if I want right?

Grant, I did figure it out (and felt rather silly when I did). You have to select all your files from the Project portion of AE and drag them into the Render segment - bottom left corner of your AfterEffects screen - in order for them to play. I guess I should have come back to the forum and reported once I got it working, so everyone would know that there's nothing wrong with Adobe. Once you do that, there are all sorts of super-cool things you can do with a slide show for video presentation. I did decide to put it into Windows Media Play and convert to MPEG before uploading to the internet, however, because it reduced the size to roughly 15% of AVI. I preserved AVI for DVD because of quality, which is far better.
There's an awesome video tutorial - thank you, Andrew Kramer!! - on creating slideshows at: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/slideshows/video-tutorial.php - now that you (hopefully) know what you're doing wrong in AE.

How to send notifications to multiple person with same role and with result

How to send notifications to multiple people with resultout as approve/reject?
We are looping the notification by attaching a cursor query to find the different emp nos to send for approval.
I cannot associate a role because these emp nos are sub-set of a role which I have created and i am getting thru the cursor query.
For FYI notification there is no problem, but for approval notification, I am not unable to send approval notifications to all the people.It stops at the first person in the loop.Pls suggest alternate way. Thanks in advance.

Manju,
I would use the cursor to populate the API for creating an ad-hoc role within the workflow process as a function. Then set your notification performer as the ad-hoc role.
Here is an example function:
create or replace procedure sample_emp_fill(itemtype in varchar2,
itemkey in varchar2,
actid in number,
funcmode in varchar2,
resultout in out varchar2) as
cursor get_name is
select ename from scott.emp where mgr = 7839 and empno != 7566;
role_name varchar2(50);
names varchar2(500);
begin
if (funcmode = 'RUN') then
role_name := 'ad_hoc_role_'|| itemkey;
for row in get_name loop
names := names || row.ename || ' ';
end loop;
WF_DIRECTORY.CreateAdHocRole( role_name=>role_name,
role_display_name=>role_name,
language=>'AMERICAN',
territory=>'AMERICA',
role_description=>role_name,
notification_preference=>'QUERY',
role_users=>names,
email_address=>' ',
fax=>'',
status=>'ACTIVE',
expiration_date=>'');
resultout := wf_engine.eng_completed||':'||wf_engine.eng_null;
return;
end if;
end;
