Thank you.

What you are asking for is indeed possible, but it may not be the most efficient way to achieve what I believe are your actual goals, and here is why:
When you publish data to a website, you usually have to insert a lot of formatting code, which means that the actual content becomes mixed with what, from InDesign's point of view, is garbage, which means that you have to spend a lot of effort to clean it up.
If, as I presume it true for a blog, the content is stored in a database, it is much, much better to retrieve the raw content, without the formatting "garbage", directly from the server. How to do that depends on your blog backend, but usually it involves making calls to some kind of API, or a server-side script that pulls the requested data.
Once you have the data it is simply a matter of putting it into InDesign. If you are lucky enough to get the data as XML, then it is simply a matter of importing and styling, possibly with some xsl transformations.
If you are really lucky, your blog backend may allow you to publish the content as XML/XHTM/RSS/ATOM etc, in which case there is no need for any specific server-side work, as you simple can pull the content directly through a regular http request.
The point I am trying to make is that you should pick up the content before it is littered with "garbage", instead of trying to clean it up afterwards. That is what you do if you have to do it by hand, but you really should try not to replicate your manual workflow, but instead go for what is a good automated solution

Small business needing help with additional license for CC for 3 months

(I was prompted to ask a question as a first time user of the forum but it seems to have disappeared which is a little frustrating. So here I go again, hope this time it works...)
I'm a small business with a single user license for Creative Cloud which I've been subscribing to for about a year now. I have a foreign student coming to do training and get experience with us for 3 months - as his area of learning is Adobe design he will need access to Adobe CC.
I can't afford to buy a year's subscription for him but I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a 3 month's student license for Adobe CC. He starts on the 3rd of March so this is quite urgent...
I couldn't find a contact number to talk to a sales person in Ireland so I hope some one can help me before the 3rd of March.
Thanks,
Niamh
(Adobe user since 1999)

No pre-paid cards in Ireland it seems. And my only option for month-to-month is to create a new Adobe ID and get Adobe Apps at €25/app/month. I'd love to up-grade to the Team subscription but it seems I can't get out of my one-year subscription in time to take advantage of the offer that goes out of date by the end of Feb. My renewal happens in June which means if I cancelled I'd have to pay 50% of the remaining months on top of paying for the new team sub... Why is it so hard to just get my student covered for 3 months - Adobe doesn't like small businesses, I guess we're not worth the hassle... Frustrating.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

How to continuously generate a pulse train with variable frequency

Dear all,
I am trying to use NI-USB 6259(BNC) to send Pulse signals to conduct position control of a servo motor with labview. The position control of servo motor follows these rules:
The number of the pulse train determines how many degrees the motor rotate ;( e.g. the angular position of motor)
The frequency of pulses determines how fast the motor rotate; (e.g. the speed of motor rotating)
The digital determines the direction of rotation of motor (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise)
My question comes when I need to continuously generate a finite plus train signal in a period of time. Below is a sample:
Time(s)
Number of pulses
Direction of rotation
(1 is clockwise, 0 is counterclockwise)
Frequency
0-1
923
1
923hz
1-2
3540
0
3540hz
2-3
1751
1
1751hz
3-4
2663
0
2663hz
4-5
353
0
353hz
5-6
1017
1
1017hz
6-7
3436
1
3436hz
7-8
302
0
302hz
8-9
1513
1
1513hz
9-10
570
1
570hz
Here is the explanation of this table, the motor keeps rotating in clockwise direction during 0~1s. When the time reaches 1s, the motor just complete the rotation of 923 pulse signals. And then the motor starts to rotate in counterclockwise direction during 1s~2s. When the time reaches 2s, the motor just complete the rotation of 3540 pulse signals. So we can see that the rotating speed of motor in 0~1s is different from the speed in 1s~2s. Namely, the frequency of pulse signal in 0~1s is different from the frequency in 1s~2s.
I have already use the counter output of DAQmx, it just can generate pulse signal with certain numbers and certain frequency in one time. The attachment is the vi which can generate a finite digital pulse train from a counter output channel and the frequency, duty cycle, Initial delay, and Idle state are all configurable.
How can I continuously generate a series of pulse train with varying numbers and frequencies during a certain period of time.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi aacuna,
Thank you for your reply!
I already checked that article. The frequency in that Vi can change dynamically, but the method of adjusting the frequency is ‘manual’ .Below is the front panel of that Vi. When the Vi is running we can change the frequency by press the button.
Time(s)
Frequency
0-1
923hz
1-2
3540hz
2-3
1751hz
3-4
2663hz
4-5
353hz
5-6
1017hz
6-7
3436hz
7-8
302hz
8-9
1513hz
9-10
570hz
Thank you！

I need Help with a website I've created

I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768.

How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

I need help with a VB Application

I need help with building an application and I am on a tight deadline. Below I have included the specifics for what I need the application to do as well as the code that I have completed so far. I am having trouble getting the data input into
the text fields to save to a .txt file. Also, I need validation to ensure that the values entered into the text fields coincide with the field type. I am new to VB so please be gentle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx
•I need to use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog in my application.
•Also, I need to use a structure.
1. The application needs to prompt the user to enter the file name on Form_Load.
2. Also, the app needs to use the AppendText method to write the Employee Data to the text file. My project should allow me to write multiple Employee Data to the same text file. The data should be written to the text file in the following format (comma
delimited)
FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, EmployeeNumber, Department, Telephone, Extension, Email
3. The Department dropdown menu DropDownStyle property should be set so that the user cannot enter inputs that are not in the menu.

Need Help with my Imessage

i need help with my imessage i am using a Iphone 4 ios 6.1.3 but when i go to settings>message>send and reecieve. i only get the options Apple ID: and You can be reached by iMessage at: my current email and add another email. my question is how do i get it to where imessage uses my cell phone number instead of my Email i have looked all over the web and no luck......

The hidden text should be sent for you automatically by the phone. From personal experience, this is automatic, but something has obviously tripped up somewhere on your phone.
It appears from reading the documentation, I would first try signing out of your Apple ID by going to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive then press your Apple ID, and press Sign Out. Then sign back in. This should hopefully trigger a re-activation of your mobile number. Your mobile number should be assigned to your Apple ID on first sign-in so hopefully this signing in and out should trigger an automatic re-activation.
Failing that, others have posted a reset of the phone, as does the support page I quoted. It appears this could be a last resort as a reset can be a bit of a pain (although if you Back your phone up via iTunes, you should be able to restore it to how it is currently). I would try the signing in and out method. Hopefully, fingers crossed, it should kick your phone back into action.

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month

(via: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html)
anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
(yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
From system profile:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213
Amperage (mA): -1205
Voltage (mV): 11557
Cycle Count: 140
I went to an apple authorized retailer and they said nothing I can do if it is out of warranty.. is this true?

Need help with installation

I recently received a laptop from school to access my online classes. When I tried to use Adobe Reader I received the following message: Adobe Reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried tech support at school and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. During the installation process I received the following error: Error 1321 The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/Onix32dll. I need this program for school. Can some one please help me.

Hello again, Michael,
Was unable to do the UAC changes. Buttons where not highlighted. I just went ahead and uninstalled Adobe and downloaded Foxitsoftware and it works. Thanks for all your help Michael you have made my online school experience better.
Sincerely,
Sherri Lee

Hello again, Sherri:
It's my pleasure to provide assistance when I can :•) Having just recently graduated after 7 years of effort just to get a 2-year degree, I can relate to needing software to get class work accomplished. I will do everything I can to make it happen for you today.
Since you didn't mention, the UAC setting, I'd like you to disable it for me if it isn't already:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Under User Account and Family settings, click on the "Add or remove user account"
3. Click on any user account
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5. Under "Make changes to your user account", click on the "Change security settings" link
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer - do so when ready
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Reader after the reboot in order for the problem to go away, but that part I am not certain of. Try to duplicate the issue prior to taking that step.
If you are unable to resolve issues with Adobe Reader, I recommend using a different reader that has much less bloat and is updated regularly:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
FoxIT is a FREE alternative to using Adobe's Reader. Support for free Adobe products is limited forums such as this. The same holds true for open source alternatives except the manufacturer usually helps support their forums while Adobe doesn't monitor this forum or any like it. I know how important it is for you to focus on your classes so don't beat your head against a wall just because Reader won't work when a viable solution exists.
Best of success in your pursuit of knowledge!
Michael

Need Help with external display...

First, let me explain what is happening. I'm using an external 19" Gateway LCD display with my Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz. Via DVI-D input. Everthing from connection to correct resolution is working fine. But the moment I change the refresh rate from 75Hz to 60Hz, the monitor starts to jitter or seems to have a nervous condition. The problem corrects itself only after a restart but I can change from 60Hz to 75Hz with no problem.
Now, from my understanding refresh rate has no bearing on LCD monitors, is this correct? and why would the monitors manual say that the native refresh rate is 60Hz. So, I'm concerned if running the monitor at 75Hz will degrade or hurt it. And once again why does the monitor image shake when going from 75Hz to 60Hz but not vice versa.
Any and all response with your experience is greatly appreciated.
David

You shouldn't need to adjust the refresh rate on an LCD display. Just leave it at it's default.

Need help with effect!

I need help with the following:
I am currently making a Harry Potter short film and I'm doing a spell that hits my friend and my friend needs to be blown backwards (if you know what I mean, he needs to like kinda fly backwards because of the force from the spell).
Can you in anyway help me with this or give me an idea on how to proceed?
I've been thinking of setting a green screen up where the person jumps backwards on a mattress or similar.
Thank you so much, I really hope you can help me.
I have been searching the web for a long long time and didn't find any answer.

Be careful here. Someone yanking on another person rigged with a professional harness can suffer permanent spinal injury. I have a home and a family and I wouldn't attempt even a simple version of this kind of stunt without a rider on my liability policy, a professional and therefore bondable stunt coordinator, and a trained stunt person. No offence Todd but I'd never yank someone backward by a wire or cord attached to their torso.
You can do this very gently by having the actor just throw out their arms and jump backwards a bit then do the majority of the move in AE. Having the camera on a simple slider would also help. As the actor jumps back dolly the camera back on a slider.
I've been shooting and producing films for more than 40 years when not one injury on the set except for me. Fractured my L2 and L3 vertebrae on a fall with a SetadyCam in 1975 because we didn't do a thorough enough safety briefing. Don't just try and do something you think you have seen on YouTube without some serious planning. There's no need for anyone to get hurt on a set.

Need help with a Spreadsheet style app

I was just wanting some help in working with developing an app for my iphone... i had previous experience in microsoft visual basic but i don't quite understand this code....
I am in flight school and trying to develop an app that reflects the weight an balance forms we do... I am stuck on how to do basic multiplication and division with xcode, i have viewed several videos and tutorials but they each do things differently and i can't seem to bring it together into this app.
So in the picture below.... what i need help with is how to do the following
from
aircraft weight * arm = Moment outbound
front seats * arm = Moment outbound
to fuel @ landing
"0" fuel weight = aircraft weight + front seats + rear seats+ Baggage 1 + baggage 2
If anyone has any ideas or can lend me some tip or places that deal with stuff like this that would be great

A character class [...] robs some otherwise special codes from their magic. The +, for instance, is interpreted as a plus, not as "repeat ad nauseum" anymore.
So your try [\d+] will simply match either a single digit or a single plus. The solution is to move the + outside of the character class
[\d]+
.. and in that case there is no reason anymore to create a class for just digits, as you got it already.
The period *needs* to be escaped, because otherwise it will match *any* character.
Try this for a change:
