Multiple text lines in spreadsheet

I have a a text file (tab delim) that contains text & numbers in it eg:
T800-12SC 0.003 10 0.125
T300-15XY 0.002 15 0.135
etc.
If I tried to read the row, the text field shows up as 0.
I found an example "Read Text Header from Spreadsheet File.vi) where you had to tell it your header size and then it reads it, only thing is that teh file reads the first row and rest of rows that contains text become 0!
I'm new to Labview & not too familiar with all the functionalities it has.
I'm attaching the two files that I found regarding this.
i would like also to write to the same file when I add new product line.
thanks in advance

Hi King,
Scan From String might be a nice way to approach this. You could simply read the entire txt file and convert it line by line (see example.)
... and, when it's time to append new records, use Format into string ( A... TS )

Wrapping multiple text lines

This may be difficult to explain, but I am not seeming to find the exact wording in my searches so I am going to ask here...
I have several lines of text boxes at the end of a form, and rather than making it all one big block of text and wrapping text within the box, there are several individual lines of text, and I would like to limit the length of each line to the display, and then wrap it to the next text line if it is too long.
Thanks for the help.

Yes, it is a form. the end of the form looks similar to:
Describe this thing: ________________________________________________
so in order to follow the lines (rather than a text block that wrapped and could be offset from the lines on the original application), each one became a new field. I am trying to figure a way, like in illustrator, to have two or more boxes linked together so when the user finishes the first line it automatically goes to the next, and so on till the end line where it just wont let them go on unless they tab to the next field.

Multiple text lines

Newbie to Numbers!
I'd like to have multiple lines of text in a single field - how do I create this?

If you look at the menu "Help > Shortcuts" , you will learn that option + return is your friend.

Multiple text fields on the same line

Hi
Is it possible to have multiple text boxes on the same form line? I'm trying to replicate a form I've created usng Acrobat X Pro but can't seem to figure how to do it with FormsCentral?
Apologise if I'm missing something obvious!

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Multiple Header line in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
I have an issue in Receiver File adapter with multiple header lines. I am able to get only 1 header lines in the receiver file but not multiple header lines with 'nl' since it is static in file mode
[CommunityTag:Header]
empNo,EmpName,Age
[CommunityTag]
I tried with the below in content conversion one as below with no luck
Root.addHeaderLine=1
Root.headerLine=[CommunityTag:Header] 'nl' empNo,EmpName,Age 'nl' [CommunityTag]
Root.fiedSeparator=,
Root.endSeparator='nl'
I am getting the Header line as same row as static text.
Can you advise this.

Hi Gabriel, I suggest to produce the header lines from additional nodes in the message payload. That means you need to modify the data type of the target message in order to generate an extra structure in the payload. Use constants in message mapping to generate the header column names, e.g.
<Header>
<H1>CommunityTag:Header</H1>
<H2>empNo,EmpName,Age</H2>
<H3>CommunityTag</H3>
</Header>
In content conversion you have to convert the Header row with
Header.endSeparator='nl'
You won't need parameter addHeaderLine anymore then.

RFFOAVIS_FPAYM: Is this print program will support multiple PO line items

Hi, I am using the print program:<b>RFFOAVIS_FPAYM</b> and customized layout of: <b>F110_IN_AVIS</b>. I am able to get multiple Document numbers but I am not getting the multiple PO line items for each Document no. I had called the perform statement in text element : <b>625</b> in Main window.
Can you suggest how to modify the standard print program to our requirement. Where we need to
[code][code][code]<b>declare the text element</b>
[/code][/code][/code], Where we will declare the <u><b>internal table for getting the PO line items.</b></u>
Thanks & Regards
Madhu

Amar,
You can create a PO with multiple line item, but you can not create the PO with multiple currency.

Multiple Text Boxes into One Text Box

I need multiple text boxes to populate into one text box. I've got it to work with....
a=a + "\n " + (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 1").value)
However, if the field is blank, it gives me a blank line.   What is the code if the box is "empty" to "skip" that text box?
Here is what I tried, but it takes everything away even if there is something in the textbox:
if (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 1").value !==null) {a=a + ""} else
a=a + "\n " + (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 6").value)
Any help?

From the sample forms supplied with the Acrobat distribution CD, you can use the "fillin" function that can process up to 3 fields at one time and automatically adjust for null value fields and add an option separator string;
The document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
     sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
     sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
     sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
     sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
     sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
     sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
Then a custom calculation field for a full business phone number consisting of 4 fields could be:
// Business telephone number w/country code and extension
function doFullBusinessTelephoneVoice() {
var cc = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.countrycode"); // country code;
var ac = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.areacode"); // area code;
var nu = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.number"); // exhchange and phone number;
var ex = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.extension"); // internal extension number;
event.value = fillin(cc.value, ac.value, nu.value, "-"); // first 3 fields;
event.value = fillin(event.value, ex.value, "", "-"); // combined 3 fields and internal extension;
doFullBusinessTelephoneVoice();
It looks like a lot of code, but it is easy to insert document level scripts into t pdf so the actual coding is not that much. And if one hase multiple fields that requrie multiple input fields, the coding task is even less compared to working out each field.

Importing and flowing multiple text docs into InDesign CS3

I have multiple plain text files where each runs several pages long that I want to import into one document in ID CS3. I want to import them and have them flow in a single threaded text frame one after another over multiple pages. With a single multi-page text doc all I have to do is select Place and hold down the shift key and InDesign will add the necessary pages and flow the copy until the end of the doc. However, if I shift select the docs and try import them into a text frame by holding down the shift key, it will just flow the first doc in the group with no indication of overset text. I have tried placing multiple text docs holding down the shift and command key and that brings in all my docs on the first page but in separate text boxes with overset text for each doc. Is there a way to do this in InDesign or perhaps a plugin that can do this?
Thanks
Randy

I tried to find this. It was posted 4/21/08 by Peter Kahrel (I can tell, because I can see my side of the discussion in my Sent folder) in response to a post I made entitled "Multiple Files".

In any case, I'm sure at this point that Peter posted this for public consumption, so I don't think he's going to mind if I post it again:

Copy and paste everything between the hyphen lines (not including the hyphen lines) into a text editor and save with a .js extension and put it in your scripts folder. Should be something like:
D:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CS3\Adobe InDesign CS3\Scripts\Scripts Panel
After alphabetizing your files and putting them in their own folder, copy the path and run the script. It will make a new folder and place all your files in one continuous story. I don't know how it will work with .txt files.

Read multiple text files and sort them

I am trying to read multiple text files and store the data from the file in vector.
but for days. I am with no luck. anyone can help me out with it? any idea of how to sort them will be appreciated.

Text Line Spacing Question

Hi, I am creating a book in aperture 2.0 and am having some trouble adjusting the line spacing in a newly created text box. The default text book in the template has a line space of +5. I have created my own text box for another page and the line spacing is +1.
How do i change this to +5 to match the default. I cant find the option anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
PS. I find version 2 much nippier than 1.5.6.
Message was edited by: Big Al Uk

Bruce:
Thank you for your reply. I generally set all the default margins to "0". I'll adjust the margins for paragraph indentations.
I'm not sure how to describe the problem better than in my original posting, but I'll try.
Suppose a form which looks like a contract with headings, single unchanging sentences and dynamic paragraphs.
Suppose you create a Text Field object, and you use the Concat function. Suppose that you created multiple very long sentences using Concat in that same Text Field. You could use the paragraph window to set the line spacing at 1, 1.5 or 2.
Set the line spacing at 2.
Suppose you create a Text object that was either a heading or a sentence or two in length.
Suppose there are both multiple Text Field and Text objects throughout the document.
My is issue is lining up the line spacing so it is consistent double spaced throughout the document where there are multiple Text and Text Field objects. If I just look at it, my line spacing is close but far from consistent.
I set my Text Objects and Text Fields at .25in throughout the whole document and that gets me an approximation of 1.5 line spacing, but that is still only close.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.
Best,

Select multiple separate lines in Indesign

I would like to know how to select multiple separate lines of text? For example, selecting the a few words of the first and last line of a paragraph and applying a style? I am trying to apply the same function as cmd+mouse would do in Microsoft Office WORD. Thank you for your help!!

InDesign's nested line style feature can apply character styles to designated lines within a paragraph. So you could specify a character style to automatically apply to the first line of any paragraph. However, because there's no option to specify the last line, you'd need to create paragraph styles with line styles that apply the character style None to a number of lines after the first, then repeat the line style. In other words, you'd need one paragraph with a line style for two-line, three-line, four-line, etc. paragraphs.
If your text doesn't reflow often, you could define a nested style that applies a character style up to an End Nested Style character that you insert manually at the end of the first line, and at the end of the line before the last line, and define the character style to run up to the first End Nested Style character, then None up to the next (last) End Nested Style character, then apply the desired last-line character style through the end of the paragraph.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign end nested style line style" and similar terms without quotes for more info.

Text lines in the BW query variables screen

Hi gurus.
The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
The text lines are saved in a custom table.
The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
Any new idea or solution?
Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
Thanks fo any help.
S.

Hi,
to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.

Multiple text fields in Print Module

Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

Editing Multiple Text layers in Photoshop CC

Hi,
I have a problem when tyring ot edit multiple text layers and it's really a big problem as it crops up with virtually every design I do (websites, games apps...)
In previous versions of PS, you could select multiple text layers and edit them in bulk, so for exmaple, select a number of text layers, then change their font size (to say 20pt)... done.
However, with CC, there seems to be some odd 'ratio' editing goign on - if I select multiple text layers of different size and edit them (to all be 20pt, for example), it seems to just 'add' 20pt to what ever font size the individual layers were
It's a real issue/pain for me (and I suspect many others)
Please is there a fix or a way to switch off this 'feature'?
So to clarrify, I want to edit multiple (often different) text layers in one go to be the same font size... like I used to be able to.
Thanks.

The last few times we saw this, it was due to a bug in a video card driver.
