Hi!

Can I open Microsoft Notepad from My Java
Application and make the changes/save the files?Yes you can, but I wouldn't recommend such an approach. Try using a properties file instead:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html
or if you have an other format (other than key-value based) for you configuration file, just use java's io package to manipulate the data:

Open text files & save as worksheets in excel with Automator?

hi,
i'm an Automator newbie and i'll admit upfront i don't know apple script. i have a bunch of text files that i'd like to open in excel. the basic actions would be to tell excel to look for 'all documents' and to open as space delimited. then i want to save the files as excel spreadsheets rather than txt files.
i assume i need to use some combination of applescript and automator to do this, but i don't even know where to start. it seems this is something simple someone might have already written a script/action for. is there a repository of such things anywhere? if not, does anyone want to help me through the process of creating such an action?
thanks,

jill,
Here is a solution.
Create an Automator workflow with the following actions:
1) Get Specified Finder Items (specify the folder containing your space delimited text files)
2) Get Folder Contents
3) Run AppleScript (delete all of the text in the action, click on the link below which will put the AppleScript into Script Editor, select the whole thing, copy it to the Clipboard, paste it into the action)
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
repeat with aTextFile in input
set theTextFilePath to aTextFile as string
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
open text file filename theTextFilePath data type delimited with space
set theWorkbook to last workbook
set thePath to path of last workbook
set theOriginalWorkbookName to name of last workbook
set theNewWorkbookName to ((characters 1 through -5 of theOriginalWorkbookName) as string) & ".xls"
set theNewFilePath to thePath & ":" & theNewWorkbookName
save workbook as theWorkbook filename theNewFilePath file format workbook normal file format
close theWorkbook saving no
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run</pre>
I am assuming that the text files are the only files in the folder. If they are not then some further filtering will be required likely through inserting a Filter Finder Items action after step 2).

Error in opening text file in JSF

Hello,
I am developing a Web application using JavaServer Faces Beta Version 1.0 and the Web application needs to open a text file. I used a Java class called by a backingbean class to open the text file.
The problem is that the system cannot find and read the text file.
The system shows the following errors.

I would like to ask how to open text file in the JSF framework.
Thank you in advance.

This is not a JavaServer Faces related issue. Anytime you try to open disk files in a web application, you need to use absolute pathnames. You have no control over what the current directory of our servlet container is set to.
If the file you're reading is actually inside your web application (say, "test.txt" is in a subdirectory "files" ), you can get access to an input stream for it, in a portable way, by calling the getResourceAsStream() method on ServletContext. From an event handler, that might look like this:
ServletContext sc = (ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
    getExternalContext().getContext();
InputStream stream = sc.getResourceAsStream("/files/test.txt");Craig McClanahan

Pages 5 in Mavericks no longer opens Text files?- need to open old Clarisworks files

My 90 year old uncle clung to ClarisWorks, Appleworks far too long
He still has Claris Works documents he needs to open.Some so old that even AppleWorks version 6x, the final version of AppleWorks could not open!)
In Mountain Lion, he could open the older Clarisworks- Appleworks documents in TextEdit , save as .TXT file and then open that file in Pages
Tonight, after installing OS 10.9 ( Mavericks)he finds this work around unrelable : Sometimes the new Pages cannot open the .TXT message
How do I help him convert his old documents?
( he saved names and addresses in to Claris Works documents instead of entering into his Contacts/Address Book so now he is panicky to retrieve the addresses as he starts working on his holiday greeting and gift mailings)

Will the old Pages run under Maverick?
IF so that will be something to try
Old Pages did not open up the old Clarisworks docs but Pages 09 DID respond when we changed the extension of the CW documents to "TXT".
So , Uncle can try using Pages 09
We also can try Libre
I can install Text Wrangler- there was some advice that it will open the old CW files.
My concern is that Uncle IS 90years of age. He is remarkable using a Mac but he needs, wants everything to be straightforward and resists, cannot handle any process requiring too many steps
The need to use an intermediary translation system (CW->TXT->Pages) is stressful for him.
Such a shame that Apple did not program a translator to open the files made by its previous proprietary software (ClarisWorks and Appleworks)
Thanks all

How to work on 2 open text files in one main program

SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
Issue
Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824 which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
I did the change as follows
Open Registry
Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
Set BrowserFlags value to a
After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
Questions
Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
[Environment]
My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
Thank you.

Hi,
To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

DW won't open PNG file to edit in Fireworks

I have a complex Fireworks file inserted as part of my html page. I'm trying to edit and update it from Dreamweaver, but it will not open the file in Fireworks.
It's a png file that has been updated from an older version of Fireworks, but I've done a save-as and re-exported the slices and html, then re-inserted it into the page. It still will not open the file in Fireworks.
As a test, I created a new png file, exported it, inserted it into the html page, then tried to edit it in Fireworks. And that does allow me to edit, click done, and then the changes show up on the html page. So it's something with my original file, but I can't figure out what it might be.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you open images normally in Photoshop Elements? I would recommend including this information as well as which verson of iPhoto and Mac OS you are using to the Photoshop Elements forum. It might also possibly be a problem with iPhoto but the users in the Photoshop Elements forum should better be able to determine where the problem lies.

Can't open iphoto file to edit in Elements 10 even though external editor is set

Right clicking on iphoto file, selecting "edit in external editor" resullts in spinning beach ball. Each attempt at opening a file initiates a reopening of Elements even though it is already opened.

Cannot open VI file in edit mode.

I cannot open a VI project that I was working on. Every time I try to open the file it gives me a message that "not enough memory to complete this operation".
This is a large project and I need to be able to access the block diagram.
This happens when I try to open it in edit mode.
Thanks.

Minguccio,
I've done some poking around and may have found some useful information. This error will ocurr if you have too many (and I mean a ton) of controls on the front panel. I haven't heard of this error since LabVIEW 5.1 though and we've upgraded the number of controls you can have on your front panel since then. However, try deleting some controls from your front panel to see if this helps out.
My investigation also lead me to tcp errors. Are you using tcp\ip anywhere in your programming? I found this discussion that may help out if that's the case.
Let us know what you find.

How to open sharepoint files in edit mode using associated link?

Hi All,
We are trying to use the URL links available through SSM to open documents we hold on SharePoint. These will be the action plans for the risks we are entering as KPIs. The aim is to established a one-to-one link between the risk KPI and the risk action plan as this is a fundamental reason behind using SSM for Risk.
However, when we enter the SharePoint URL into the SSM admin screen, clicking the link from SSM UI opens up the file as an internet explorer page which can not be edited and saved back to SharePoint. We did find a way to get through My Network Places to over write the file, but this only works if you have previously opened and edited and saved the file from SharePoint and requires lots of navigation by the user and is therefore not an appropriate solution.
Is there any way we this can be achieve? Appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
David

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. What I meant was when we put the UNC into SSM as a link in the URL box, SSM does not use the address it is given, instead it adds a http:// back in front and once again fails when opening the file in sharepoint.
For example:
SharePoint folder view used in test:
http://wccportal/resources/performance/risk/Risk%20Action%20Plans/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fresources%2fperformance%2frisk%2fRisk%20Action%20Plans%2fDOR&FolderCTID=&View=%7b84123F22%2d74F2%2d41B9%2d918C%2dFF23DAE35EB3%7d
Excel UNC link to folder
wccportal\resources\performance\risk\riskactionplans\DOR
SSM UNC Link - SSM changes the address to include http:// and also removes other \ breaks and adds in numbers and symbols.
Is there a way to stop SSM converting the local address back into a web address?
Thanks,
David

If I make work in Premiere CC but lose access to CC, do I lose the ability to open the file and edit my work?

I'm currently using Premiere CS6. Premiere CC looks appealing in terms of the updates, but not the payment model. If I can't pay for CC for a while, or switch to another program one day, will I lose the ability to open any of my Premiere CC files? It's shocking how often I go back to an old project that was made in an ancient program that I no longer use, but because I forever own that software, I'm always able to open the file up and make whatever changes necessary so I can bring the file into a more current program. Is this workflow lost if I lose access to CC? If this is the case, I may have to stick to CS6 just because I have the disks and know I'll always be able to install the programs and access my files.

New PROJECT files, and SOME data files (such as InDesign ???) will not open in earlier programs... industry standard files (such as JPG) will open in any program
For more information about a specific program, you will need to ask in that program's forum

Can't Open ANY files to edit in Photoshop Elements 10

I have used Photoshop Elements 10 for about two years and had no problems. Suddenly today it won't open ANY files. Not from the desktop, and not even a blank file to start with. It acts like it is going to, I can choose the sizing for a blank file, but then nothing happens. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Quit the editor then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
