Passing values to Javascripts/ write to text file

Hi,
I m new to InDesign Programming. I m using InDesign CS3 on MAC OS...
Is it possible to pass values to a javascript through plugin code?
I have a dialog with textboxes in it, On clicking ok button a script is called which uses these text box values for processing. Is this possible or is this the only way: to write them into a text file and read the textfile in script....
Someone Pls guide me...

Are you looking for this:<br /><br />in C++ :<br />Utils<IScriptArgs>()->Set(yourkeyStr ,yourvalueStr );<br /><br />in JavaScript: <br />if(app.scriptArgs.isDefined(yourkeyStr)) {<br /> var yourvalueStr = app.scriptArgs.get(yourkeyStr)<br />}<br /><br />HTH,<br />Kamran

Passing value from JavaScript window to form

Hi,
Coul'd You help me?
I have a test form. I open new JavaScript window from this form. I generate list of authors in this window by the procedure show_list. I want to pass value from JavaScript window back to test form, but
the command "window.opener.document.forms[idx_form].elements[idx_fld].value = val;"
don't pass value to test form. Where is mistake?
Thanks Vaclav

From PLSQL - Need to write a text file

Hello
I need to write a text file from data retrieved from many tables in PLSQL to the UNIX box.
Thanks

You can use package UTL_FILE to write out to a file. Your DBA has to make initialization changes to support this. They might already have it setup. Run this query:
SELECT value
FROM v$parameter
WHERE name = 'utl_file_dir';
To see whether it has been configured properly. The value is the directory where you can create and write files.

Write to Text File.vi Output file all but first line start with tab

The attached PNG shows the code used to build up concatenated strings into a string array for the first four lines, thence to a string Array, to Spreadsheet String.vi and, finally, the use of Write to Text File.vi
The lower right corner shows the result loaded into a spreadsheet. Note the 3 blank entries marked by a filled red rectangle. Examination of hidden characters shows there is a tab at the beginning of lines 2, 3 and 4.
There is no tab shown in the code. How do those tabs get there? How do I stop them?
I have tried with the option "Convert EOL" both on and off with no difference.
The Help states that an OS-dependent EOL character is appended to each line. I can't imagine the Windows EOL character includes a tab.
Solved!

I am still puzzled as to why those additional tabs were added by Array to Spreadsheet String. I'm holding in my hand a printout of an old LabVIEW 8 program with that construction, which is known to work properly.
Makes complete sense when you look at your code. You build a string, including an end-of-line character, and put that string into an array. Then, when you run it through Array to Spreadsheet String, it puts a tab after every array element, and new line at the end of each row in the array. The first element of your array contains a new line but Array to Spreadsheet String doesn't know about it; it still inserts a tab between that array element and the next one, giving you the tabs.

Write to text file problem

I have a write to 'text file' in a sub vi. It is a popup where user can change his program.
For some reason, only the first time it is called, it actually writes to the text file.
As long as the sub vi is in memory, and I call it again and press ok to write to text file, nothing happens.
I've tried 'close file', but that doesnt help. Deleting the files from the disk before again calling the sub vi doesnt help either, it wont write
to file again. Is this a bug or am I missing something?! Im on labview 2010

Post your VI (along with sub-VI's if any).

Write to text file qeustion

Hello all,
My first question about writing to text file is does the file need to be opened? i know you have the option to create, replace, open..., but does it need to be opened in order to properly write data to the file? Also if my application is running with a disk streaming file setup and i open the file that it is writing to will this cause an error or cause labview to lose control of the file and possibly stop writing to the file?
Thank you,
Matt

Feel free to experiment. Try writing to a file from multiple locations at once, and you'll see race conditions where data could be lost.
The reason for the Open, Write, Close type of software is because generally you are in a loop continually writing to a file, and the extra overhead of a Open and Close can be limited to when the software starts and closes, instead of having to open a new reference and close it every time you want to write to the file. Just open the reference once, work with it in a while loop, then close it once, must more efficient and better for applications that write many times to disk.
Is it necessary? No you can just use the Write to Text file giving it a path and data to write, but behind that function it will need to open and close the reference each time.

Write to text file. Append to existing file. Create file if file doesn't exist.

Hi folks,
up to LabVIEW 7 there was a wonderful "Write to Text File" vi which allowed the option "Append to File". Now, in LabVIEW 8, this old vi is not longer supported anymore. Instead, I am suggested to use a new "Write to Text File" vi. This vi does not offer the option "Append to File" anymore. Rather it is proposed in the online help that one should use the "Set File Position" in order to append text to the file. This much less straightforward than the old solution. Furthermore, I miss an option which would create the complete path if it doesn't exist yet.
To summarize: Isn't there really any smart "Write to Text File" vi available which offers both the options "Append" and "Create path if file does not yet exist". Of course, I could write such a file on my own but I am sure that it is of such general interest that it already exist. In any situation, when a log file shall be written, the wanted vi would be ideal.
Thanks a lot,
Peter

Ray,
I know that the old vi is still available. See the screenshot which I attach to this message. What I am missing is an option "Create file or even complete path if file or path do not yet exist.". Is there any reason why NI doesn't provide neither this option nor a simple "Append to file" functionality in the new "Write to Text File" vi?
Regards,
Peter

Write to text file returns no error even if the underlying file is deleted

Hi,
I'm using a CompactRIO and writing to a text file underneath the C drive.
I'm running into an unexpected situation when I am trying to error check my file handling. I assumed that if the underlying file being written to that was created by open/create/replace vi and written to with the "Write to Text File" vi, would return an error if I delete the file from underneath it in the file system., yet there is no reported error and the function carrys on seemingly successfully writing to a file that has been deleted.
Anyone know why this happens and how to potentiallly remedy?

Ouch, this obviously isn't ideal but is probably down to the filesystem on the CompactRIO.
I would consider putting in a check - doing something like getting the file position from the file might return an error if the file no longer exists.

The same goes for "read from text file

Hello!
Look at the following examples shipped with LabVIEW Professional and LabVIEW Full. Event structure example is not installed with Base package.
Open up 'Example Finder', click on the 'Search' tab, enter keyword 'events' and you fill find several examples. The ones of interest for you is 'New Event Handler.VI" and 'Old Event Handler.VI', where the first uses the event structure and the other uses the standard state machine architecture.

Write to Text File - unflatten channel string

Hi all,
This is my first post on the forums! It's been very helpful for me but I have not been able to find a solution to my (simple) problem.
Operating system: Windows 7 (64-bit)
Labview 2012 Full Development
I'm using the DAQmx unflatten channel string to get the names of the channels, and when I Write to Text File, I get the names of channels to be displayed vertically, ie a new row for each channel in a column. I'd like to "transpose" this, but obviously you cannot transpose a 1d array. Any ideas on how I can do this?
Any and all ideas are appreciate, thank you in advance,
-AK
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Show us how you are doing this.
My guess is that once you get the data, you have linefeed characters separating the channel names rather than some other delimiter such as a comma or a tab.
Depedning on how you are going from the channel names to the file (a string, an array of strings, Write to Spreadsheet File, Write to Text file, ....) will determine the best way to fix the problem for you.

Write to text file while scrolling table issue

Hi all,
I have a LabVIEW application that logs data using 'write to text file' every second. This is a bckground task in a sub-VI. On the main screen I have several tables that have scrollbars. Every time the file is written the scrolling of a table is effectivley canceled. It is then necessary to click on the scrollbar again to re-start scrolling the table. I guess this is an issue with the OS but not sure yet. I have not tested other operating systems yet. I thought I would try the forum first. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have tried using list boxes instead of tables but the same issue exists.
I'm using windows 7 and LabVIEW 2011.
Thank you.
Certified LabVIEW Architect

Hi Steve, thanks for offering to help. Right now I'm on a machine with LabVIEW 2010 and XP and the issue does not exist. But I have created a little test VI that should demonstrate the issue once running on LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and Windows 7. I can't confirm this VI will demonstrate the issue until later today when I can test it on the problem system myself. Feel free to give it a go and let us know what you find, or wait until I confirm the attached VI will demonsrate the issue (10 to 12 hrs time).
Thank again.

How to populate column titles for y values when using Write to Measurement File Express VI with a tab delimited text-based .lvm file?

The .lvm file generated by the Write to Measurement File Express VI includes column heading titles for the y values, but they are a default value of "untitled". See attached example of a sample file when opened in Excel, the values in question are highlighted. Is there a way to specify the column titles when the file is written?
This is a similar question to this posting, which received a work around response to use the Write to Spreadsheet File.vi, rather than a solution when using this VI.

Sorry for the late reply. I was out of the office Friday.
You can do it, but the code can get rather ugly. Under the hood, the dynamic data type (the dark blue wire) is an array of waveforms. In your case, the scalar values you convert to a dynamic data type are being converted to an array of waveforms, each waveform having one element. You have two options.
Explicitly convert your scalars to one-element waveforms (t0=0, dt=1) and add the title before conversion to a dynamic data type.
Convert your dynamic data type to an array of waveforms and loop through them to add the column labels. The conversion blocks are in the Signal Manipulation Express palette.
I would recommend 2, since it is the easiest to add. It is also the easiest to run only on the first iteration. Just put a case selector around the loop, wire the selection to the While loop iterator, and set the case containing the label code to 0. The default case simply passes through the dynamic data.
My apologies for not including a screen shot. I am in the process of upgrading my machine and can't run LabVIEW. If you need one, let me know and I can post one tomorrow.

How to write a text file in Acrobat Javascript?

I am using acrobat XI I have tried output a text file like this
var cMyC = "abc"; var doc = this.createDataObject({cName: "test.txt", cValue: cMyC}); this.exportDataObject({cName: "test.txt", nLaunch:0});
This is working , but I would like to provided a fixed path and no dialog is popup to request the user choose a saving path
Are there any way to fix the problem? thanks

Actually, what I am doing is :
There is action wizard which apply some javascript effect and modify the file one by one in a specific folder,
And currently I am using PHP to execute command line to run task scheduler, the scheduler runs a batch program that run the action wizard (named sequence?) so the PDF file is modifed one by one
Since the batch runs only one time for a folder instead of run each time for a file, I would like to detect whether a file is success or not , so I think of create a text file as detect signal to determine whether the operation is success.
So , simply, are there any way to check whether a file is success in a batch sequence operation? thanks
