Need script edit advice

Daring Fireball showed the script below that does a word count, in conjunction with ThisService. I want to edit it, so it counts characters. Can anyone tell me what to substitute for what? Thanks in advance!
on process(_str)
tell application "System Events"
set _appname to name of first process whose frontmost is true
end tell
tell application _appname
display alert "Word count: " & (count words of _str)
end tell
end process

Hello
Why not try to use
display alert "Character count: " & (count characters of _str)

  • What is the most cost effective program to "view" only "ai" files, no need to edit

    I would like to know what is the most inexpensive program to view only vector "ai" files.  I receive artwork from artists and need to view, but have no need to edit the work.  I find Illustrator to be very expensive for this view only option.  Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried a few programs on the web such as softusolve and they opened everything but "ai" despite saying it opens these file extensions.
    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    You didn't say what operating system you are using but if all you are doing is looking at the file and you are on a Mac, then try Art View: http://www.code-line.com/artview/
    It provides Quick Look for Illustrator, InDesign, EPS, ASE, and even FreeHand files. Shows what fonts and colors are used in the file and If the AI file has multiple artboards, you can scroll through all of them in the preview. Shows date created and modifed.
    Cost $25.

  • Need an expert advice in Implementing continuous delivery across environments

    Hi All,
    I need an expert advice/solution in implementing continuous delivery in our project. (PF Screenshot)
    Deployment goes like this.. 
    Dev checks in -> TFS Builds - > RM Invokes -> using PS/DSC -> Copies the binaries to DIT environemnt's IIS virtual dir -> Manual replacement of Web.config files (since we have many environments)- > App runs
    PS/DSC does following things : Copies binaries using X copy , Uploads SP excel reports , Executing Dacpac scripts etc ..
    Now the chanllenge earlier faced was wrt Web.Config files was, for every DIT environment many configurations, conn strings would change. In order to overcome this , Implemented Web.config transformations( like Web.DIT1.Config .... Web.DIT6.config in my solution
    explorer. 
    Added a custom MSBuild script in my .csproj file and before triggerig the build defination I 'd change in Process tab- > Basic - > Configuration = DIT1 (based on requirement) and triggers . )
    It perfectly deploys to the DIT 1 without manually replacing WEb.config files. 
    1) Now the blocker for me, Can we achieve this without Web.config transformations ? Since I don't want to expose the sensitive date in config files is there any way to implementing the same ?
    2) I wanted to have continuous deployments from DIT to SIT and from SIT to UAT etc , How can we achevive the same ?
       I m planning to implement the same with web.config tokenizing in RM?
    Looking for some expert advice in achieving the same?
    Many Thanks ,
    Abraham Dhanyaraj

    HI Abraham,
    Instead of having web config transformations to set config values for each environment do the following.
    1. Have one transformation config say for example web.release.config which will contain tokens understood by RM (starting and ending with double underscore) for each config value.
    <log4net>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
    <file value="__log4netLogFile__" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
    </appender>
    </log4net>
    <ClientsSection>
    <Clients xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add Id="__ClientId1__" Secret="__SecretCode1__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl1__"></add>
    <add Id="__ClientId2__" Secret="__SecretCode2__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl2__"></add>
    </Clients>
    </ClientsSection>
    <appSettings xdt:Transform="Replace">
    <add key="MinCaps" value="2" />
    <add key="MinSymbols" value="1" />
    <add key="MinNumerics" value="1" />
    <add key="MinLength" value="6" />
    <add key="MaxLength" value="" />
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="WebPortalName" value="__WebPortalName__" />
    <add key="TimeZoneFrom" value="Pacific Standard Time"/>
    <add key="TimeZoneTo" value="Mountain Standard Time"/>
    </appSettings>
    The TFS builds can generate output with above formatted configs with web config transformation.
    2. Then in RM server templates change the config files to have values depending on the environment. You can do this using a custom deployment component or default xcopy deployment component to set parameters.
    3. Then in the release template set the config values.
    Cheers!

    Hi Dhiravia,
    It's been a while. How is it going? If the suggestion provided by ThmsRynr doesn't help, for scripting questions, in order to get better help, it's recommended that we ask for advice in the following scripting forum.

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

  • Using CS5 - need to edit and save pdf

    I have a pdf file that is a sales flyer.  I need to edit just the first page of the 50 page pdf file.  I can open and edit page 1 no problem.  I need to know how to save it back into the complete pdf file as page 1.  Right now all I can figure out is how to save that individual page.
    Thanks for your help.

    You cannot. You still need Acrobat or InDesign somewhere in there to merge your edited page back with the others. That being said, the whole thing could still explode in your face as PDFs are simply not meant to be editable work files...

  • I need to edit text in a jpeg file.  How do I do that?

    I need to edit text in a jpeg file.  How do I do that?

    Unfortunately you can't. A JPEG is a flat raster (pixel-based) image file which has no awareness of "text" inside it. You could try to erase the text and graphic under it and then recreate the text, but it's best to do so using a mastering format such as PSD (Photoshop) or PXM (Pixelmator), so that you can export as JPEG but keep your layered master for later editing.

    I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

    In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
    select "get info".
    go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
    click "OK".
    Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
    The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
    Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different  start/stop time.
    Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
    To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

    Hi,
    Please let me know the exact workflow you are following.
    Does it occur with all files?
    Are you trying to convert from within Reader or from Browser.
    If from Reader then make sure you are signed in within Reader
    Also try updating Reader to the latest v11.0.09 and check.

  • Do I need Enterprise Edition license for Grid Control

    We are planning on installing Oracle 10g Grid Control onto a server that does not currently have Oracle on at all. It is a 2 processor server. Using this we will be monitoring Oracle databases on 2 other servers, each of which also have 2 processors.
    My question is do I need Enterprise Edition or will Standard Edition be ok? We will be using the diagnostics pack in Grid Control, and also rman on the same server. Do I definitely need Enterprise Edition?
    Many thanks,
    Paula.

    Licence questions should be always addressed to an authorized Oracle sales representative, no one in this forum can give you an official and committed answer, you can rely on.
    At least documentation shows all Management Packs require the Enterprise Edition:
