  • I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

    I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style.  I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
    - in a chosen story;
    - on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
    - in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
    If story...
    You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
    Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
    so:
    Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
    //==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
    If other cases...
    You would need to be more accurate.

  • Need help writing a script

    I am trying to convert my prcess from DTS to SSIS. I am running this report out of SAP and then using Monarch to put into the correct form, then I am using the DTS to put it into the database on the SQL server.  I am able to get all the other info to
    move out having so much trouble here to get the plant number. The issuse is that it is on top on the page and it will change when a new plant is needed.
    Thanks for any help
    I need help wrting a script that will put that 7010 into a cloumn nnamed plant number.

    To convert from DTS packages to SSIS you can just open the DTS package in a new SSIS project (depends on target SSIS version by using SSDT or BIDS).
    The rest is mechanics how the iteration with SAP is done and may be beyond the scope of this forum.

    1) Log in to the application.
    2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
    3) Enter the details of the incident number.
    4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
    5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
    6) Click on “schedule” Button.
    7) Exit the oracle forms.
    8) Logout from the application.
    I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
    Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
    When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
    However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
    In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
    I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
    Please help me solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Soumya Mukherjee

    This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site.  Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code.   But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours.  There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
    What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
    But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

  • Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

    I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
    1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
    2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
    3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
    Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
    I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried the "The field is the average of:"?

  • I need help modifying a script in IPCC

    I am running UCCX Premium 5.0(2)SR02_Build045. I have a script in place, but need to modify it. Basically a call comes into my main menu and gets distributed to a contact service queue. If no agents are available the call is queued and the caller is prompted to leave a voicemail after 2 mins. If the caller continues to hold they will stay in queue. I need to modify the script so that all callers are dequeued after 15mins. The call can be terminated or routed back to my operator (0). Any help appreciated I am a scripting newbie!
    By the red arrow is the QueueTransfersLoop. I need to modify this loop to terminate after 15mins.
    Thanks!!
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    You need to drop the get reporting statistic step in some place of the queue loop, in the get reporting statistic step properties you have to choose for the Report Object parameter the one that says "CSQ IPCC Express", in the Field parameter you have to choose "Current Wait Duration", the Row Identifier is a string variable that has the value of the CSQ name and finally Result Statistic is an integer variable that you have to set to 0.
    After that you need an if statement, in that step you have to compare the value of the Integer variable with some value, in this case the 15mins that you need (you have to compare the values in seconds). It's better to compare the value with a ".equals()" and also with a ">="  because it could be that the call has being queued a little bit more than 15 mins.
    Check the screenshot, that works for me.
    Gabriel.

  • Need Help on powershell Script to send mails in different languages

    Hello, Just wanted to use the script below to remind users of password expiry date (I got it from internet New-Passwordreminder.ps1). We have companies in many countries, so the email should be in the language of that country. So since our users are in different
    OU's according to countries, I thought some one could help me edit this script and say if the user is in AB ou then email in english will be sent, if in BC ou then the email will be in Russian....So in the script I will have all the languages I need
    to have written.

    Hi petro_jemes,
    Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
    I hope this helps.

  • Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

    Hi,
    I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
    I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
    I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
    The commands are
    1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
    2) delete files from x location
    3) run .exe app from y location
    4) close that running app 
    5) move files from z to y
    Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
    My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
    I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
    And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
    And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
    Thanks alot ahead!
    Jordan.

    hmm 2 questions:
    1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
    how do I get permission or something to fix that?
    2) on the "move" command..
    First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out.. 
    but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
    and all I see is ability to move a file..
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • Need help writing a script to delete a folder to run at startup

    I have no experience with this and need full assistance to set this up.
    I am hoping to write a script which can be run at startup on a single client machine which is giving me font trouble. Our client machines are network controlled by our server and have multiple users all in the Server user database.
    The fonts are behaving badly until we trash this folder HD>Library>Caches>com.apple.ATS
    On restart the fonts behave as expected.
    Can someone help me write a script or give me a command I can insert in a crontab with Cronnix to delete this folder at startup?
    Thanks

    They both work fine (read that as: it can be added into either place) While that message in crontab seems to intimate that Apple will do something drastic like disable or make it hard to run cron I cannot see how, cron has been in all *nix's since the beginning so to remove it would anger quite a few people...
    Having said that, If you want to make a launchd item you would put the below into /Library/LaunchDaemons/ create a file (call it someting memorable like 'Delete_com.apple.ATS') put this into it:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>Delete com.apple.ATS</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>rm</string>
    <string>-rf</string>
    <string>/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    and finally load it...

  • Need help in Shell Scripts

    Hi,
    I have a requirement need a help.
    Requirement states like this:
    I need to write a shell script through which I need to search a huge lines code and to find out following information :
    1. Total No of lines of the code
    2. No of DML statements (select,update,insert, delete) used like how many SELECT, How many UPDATE etc used in it.
    3. No of base apps tables referenced like How many tables starting with "CMF_" is present.
    4. No of procedure calls like how many procedures starting with "PROC_" used.
    Can anyone help me in this ? I need to script.
    My Unix version is :
    $ uname -a
    SunOS appsnet 5.6 Generic_105181-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
    Thanks in advance
    [email protected]

    What you need here is a AWK script. This script will read the input as the source file (as command line
    argument or as standard input), and process each like of the file read to look for the different patterns
    in that line (looking for example if the line contans "SELECT " or "INSERT " etc...) and increment its
    corresponding count. At the end of the script in the END section you can get the number of lines with the
    NR awk inbuilt variable.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need help in Indesign scripting - Javascript

    Hi
    I have few questions during the indesign scripting.

    How to target Illustrator engine when the javascripts is running in indesign engine.
    2. Creating text in textframe

    4. Access method
    How to access methods defined in start up script from the our own cript folder.
    Thanks
    Karthik B

    1. I have No Idea what you mean. Do you want an InDesign script "target" illustrator? Try Brigdetalk.
    2. Described in the Javascript Tools guide.
    3. No amount of scripting will make #3 possible. [*] If you "desperately" need this, write a plugin for it.
    4. I'm not sure, but as far as I know nothing special is needed for that. At least, not if your own script shares the same engine. If it doesn't, then there is no way because that's how it is supposed to work, and no amount of scripting can work around that.
    [*] Apart from writing a complete PDF engine in Javascript, that is. Based on your other questions, it's a fair bet that's not going to happen any time soon.

  • Need help with shell scripting and Patching

    Hello all,
    I am a very new Oracle DBA and I just have an interview where i have been ask two questions that i have no idea of what it is
    1/ What is shell scripting and how do you do shell scripting?
    2/ What is Patching and how do you do patching?
    Can some one help to have a very good understanding of these tow questions?
    Thanks a lot

    1/ What is shell scripting and how do you do shell scripting?shell accept command from you (via keyboard) and execute them. But if you use command one by one (sequence of 'n' number of commands) , the you can store this sequence of command to text file and tell the shell to execute this text file instead of entering the commands. This is know as shell script.
    Shell script defined as:
    "Shell Script is series of command written in plain text file. Shell script is just like batch file in MS-DOS
    for example:- for taking backup, health check and doing some task Operating system level or Oracle database level we can create shell script and schedule a cron job
    2/ What is Patching and how do you do patching?for example ,in windows while using sometimes you might face an issue/error and it gives pop up error message would like to send/report this error to microsoft? microsoft will send you a fix for that. lot of fixes for errors/bugs are released as patches.( n number of patches with newer features are releases as new version)
    likewise in oracle for resolving bugs we should have to apply patch.
    patch is basically a fix for a bug/bugs. we need to use opatch utility to apply the paches.
    hope, this helps you
