Need to find a Path Name.

How to find the path name for the top down in Mac.  I'm use to using Windows.  Plus I'm new to Mac.

The easiest is select the file, then Finder -> File -> Get Info, and you will see the path specified under General -> Where: /somthing/or/other/filename
You can also enable the Finder -> View -> Show Path Bar, which will display the path for any selected file at the bottom of the Finder window.
If you have an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session running, you can drag any file from the Finder to a Terminal window and the full path to the file will be pasted into the Terminal window.
If you use Spotlight to find a file, you can hover the cursor over the file in the Spotlight list, and press the Command key.  The path to the file will appear at the bottom of the popup box that appears to the left of the Spotlight list.
If you download the 3rd party Control Panel "Secrets"
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets>
You can set System Preferences -> Secrets -> Finder -> Show Path in Title Bar
You will need to restart the Finder after making this change (Secrets has a button that will do this)
NOTE:  Do NOT got crazy with changing things with Secrets, as you may create a situation where you are not sure what you did or why Mac OS X does not behave like everyone else's
You can issue the following command from an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool true
killall Finder
which will also show the folder path in the Finder window title bar.  Change true to false if you wish to reverse the setting (or use Secrets).

  • I can't find the path in SPRO for a configuration table

    Dear all,
    I am currently doing some configuration in SPRO and I need to document it in an Excel file.
    My configuation is for Plant Maintenance (PM) and I need some help finding the path through SPRO in which I can find the table T370FLD_STN.
    I have already tried the simple stuff like:
    Control+F and tried to find the name of the table - No Results
    I also went through  SE16N and clicked F1 and then in the key symbol - No results.
    I really need help FINDING THE PATH IN SPRO. That's my goal.
    Thanks to you all,
    Manuel

    Hello
    I have just tested on my system and I got the following SPRO path:
    - Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
    - Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
    - Technical Objects
    - Settings for Fleet Management
    - Consumption-Relevant Counter Reading Update
    - Create Gas Station
    I can't tell why this procedure did not work on your system. Did you receive a popup to select the customizing project when you clicked the customizing button? I got a popup and I choose the option "continue w/o specifying a project".

  • How to find a column name in tables

    Is there any view that search for coulmns in a table. Please help.

    Questions about the dictionary are best answered by querying DICT.
    In this case
    select * from dict where table_name like '%COL%'
    Alternatively you can look in the Oracle reference manual for your version.
    The information is online, there is little need to ask around here.

  • How to find the API name from the Integrator

    I am looking in a WebADI build solution.
    1) I need to find the API name, which is used by the Custom integrator to validate and insert the data into custom table.
    Can we find the source where WebADI integrator stores the API name.
    Please help me out in this.

    Satya,
    You are right that we are not supposed to change the Oracle supplied files. But some times you really don't have any other option. Some times Oracle support them selves ask you to change their programs.
    Anyway the Concurrent program definition is stored in BNE_PARAM_LISTS_B, BNE_PARAM_LISTS_TL, BNE_PARAM_LIST_ITEMS and BNE_ATTRIBUTES table. For a concurrent program with out any parameter there will be 6 records in BNE_PARAM_LISTS_ITEMS and BNE_ATTRIBUTES table.
    These racords are
    Application, Program, Description, Run date , Sub Request , End of Concurrent Request Parameters and Rest of parameters default.
    Look at these tables and you will know how Oracle has defined these Concurrent programs.

  • Find path name

    Hello All,
    I am new to photoshop scripting and i am learning. I want to write a code to "find the particular path with a alert box whether its is available in the file or not" i was trying and confused. i used "else" method but i couldn't get it right.
    #target photoshop
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    if (app.activeDocumen.pathItems.length > 0) {
    app.activeDocument.pathItems[0].name = "Path 1"
    } else {
        alert ("There is no path name: Path 1", title, errorIcon)
    also tried this one
    #target photoshop
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    if ( doc.pathItems.length > 0 ) {
              app.activeDocument.pathItems.getByName('Path 1').select();
    } else {
        alert ("There is no path name: Path 1", title, errorIcon)
    pls help me!

    A single if statement would not work for this task. Because pathItem.getByName will thorw an error if that pathItem does not exists you can not use getByName in an if statement. I know that some think try/catch sould not be used and here is a way to test for a path by name without the try/catch.
    if( app.documents.length>0 && app.activeDocument.pathItems.length>0 ){
        for(var pathItemIndex = 0;pathItemIndex< app.activeDocument.pathItems.length; pathItemIndex++){
            if(app.activeDocument.pathItems[pathItemIndex].name == 'Path 1' ) {
                alert('Path found');
        alert('This document does not have a path with that name');
    }else{
        alert('Needs a document with pathItems');
    I used the try/catch because I think it is faster. With a try statement you need to have catch to handle the error or finally to run code regardles of an error. You can use both catch and finally if needed.
    The e part of catch(e) is the error object. If you want more details about the error you could do something like this.
    try{
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var myPath = myDoc.pathItems.getByName("Path 1");
        alert('The pathItem: '+myPath.name+' was found');
    }catch(errorObject){
        alert(errorObject.message+': '+errorObject.line);
    In this case the message would be the same if there is no document or pathItem with that name. But the line number is different. And most of the time the error message is more helpful than 'No such element'.
    I hope that explains why the difference between using if or try/catch to do something like this. Let me know if you have more questions.

  • Need to find out how to lock a point in a path that will not allow the rest of the path to rotate or move around it

    Hello,
    I am having some trouble with using shape layers and paths to create a solid, flat 'hair' effect in a cartoon animation.
    I have used a semicircle shape layer as the hair on the head itself and then a path with a stroke of the same width as the semi circle to be the long part of the hair.
    Unfortunately when I move/rotate the bottom point in the path it causes gaps to appear further up where the stroke is rotating around the point at which the stroke is supposed to "connect" to the semi circle.
    I have included a couple of screenshots of me rotating the hair opposite ways so you can see.
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    I need to find out if there is a way to lock the top point in place where it joins the semi circle blond hair which will stop this part from moving at all, even rotating around the point.
    But the bottom needs to move freely and obviously the part between the two points will move fairly naturally.
    If you can imagine how a girl with long hair has her hair attached to her head, it does not move at all, but the bottom moves freely. It needs to be like this.
    If you can provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That is perfect thank you so much!
    Can't believe I didn't think of that but you da real MVP!

    Apply trace on RAS and look for errors in the RAS logs at the same timestamp.
    These errors come for various errors and tracing RAS would give us a better idea.
    It might hapen that you observe these errors for reports which takes more than the RAS timeout to export the reports.
    Post getting the RAS logs you can try below steps if we see timeout errors in RAS logs.
    Copy clientSDKOptions.xml file from <BO install path>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib to the machine where your app is running Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000. Default value is 600000 (10 minutes)
    Specify the location of the clientSDKOptions.xml file at run-time. In your JSP or Java files, use the Java method setProperty from the System class. Set the system property indicated by the ras.config key to the specified directory as: system.setProperty("ras.config","c:\temp"). This function call specifies that the clientSDKOptions.xml file in c:\temp is to be used for locating RAS servers.
    Thanks,

    I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

  • How can I paste the full path name into the find file dialog?

    I've copied a full path name using CMD-C.
    Now I click on a link in some web page (does not matter which one) which lets me upload a file.
    The standard apple file selector dialog pops up (sorry don't know the official apple name for this dialog), to let me navigate and select the file.
    How can I paste the file name?  Or how can I tell the dialog popup to navigate to the file whose full path name is in the clipboard?

    Here is an image showing the file browser dialog I'm referring to.

  • How can I get the path name and rename it?

    I Hope someone who knows more about automator than I can help me out here. What I'm trying to do is get the path file name, while also changing part of it. Here is my example:
    I can get the path name with this "Get Path" script I found http://automatorworld.com/archives/get-path/all-comments/
    It does half the job so I just need to tweak it but know how. When I get the path this is what I'll get: /Volumes/Public/Creative Services/Campaigns/2010/NCDDiv-32CDV Upgrade/NCDDIV-32Versions.xls
    I need to remove the beginning part"/volumes" to "file://///nhmanmkt01"
    This is so I can send the path from our sever where we keep our files to my windows friends so they can open it.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    ok, make the following workflow.
    1. get selected finder items.
    2. run shell script
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    for f in "$@"
    do
    echo "$f"|sed 's%/Volumes%file://///nhmanmkt01%'
    done</pre>
    set the script to accept input as arguments
    3. copy to clipboard
    save it as a finder plugin.

  • How do I find the path to a TestStand sequence file using LabVIEW

    My LabVIEW application launches a bunch of teststand sequences, provided it has the complete path to each of them. I want to make it more flexible by providing it just the name of the TestStand sequence so that it will go and find the path to the sequence by searching a directory structure. TestStand has a neat FindFile() function that can do this, but I need to do this from within LabVIEW. Is there a way to do it?

    There are a few ways to do this depending on how you are getting the sequence files.  If you are calling the GetSequenceFileEx method, you can just pass the GetSeqFile_FindFile (0x20) flag in the SequenceFileFlags property.  If you are using the ApplicationMgr.OpenSequenceFile method, this is automatically done for you.
    If you want to use the FindFile function in general, you can use the Engine.FindFile method.

  • Getting the local full path name of a file from an item File Browser

    Hi all,
    I would like to get the local full path name, of a file selected from an item 'File browser'.
    I see in wwv_flow_files the column 'name', but actually it's a kind of id like 'F1542335/myFile.gif' for example.
    What i want is the local path of this file ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\....\myFile.gif").
    I hope this is possible??
    Anyway, thanks all for reading.
    Ludo

    Hello, thank you for the answer.
    Please understand that I searched before posting, and not ony 15 min.
    What i mean is that the value of a File Browser in an Apex applocation is something like 'F1542335/myFile.gif', but what I need is the local path location.
    And 'F1542335/' is not the local path location, i can't use it. Or maybe there is a way to convert it in a proper path name, such as "C:\Documents and Settings\....", but I don't think so.
    So my question is : how to get the local path name of a file in Apex?
    I'll answer if I find some good things.
    Thanks
