Preventing file extensions being added to variable text (File Name)-

…when one imports one INDD file (v5 or 6) into another. We have the variable text specifications set to exclude file extensions. The .indd does not publish in the originating document.
We use INDD import and the text variable "File Name" quite a lot.
TIA-
-Todd

I think he's saying that when you open an ID doc, the filename variabe inside can be set to report just the name, but when you import that same doc into another ID doc, the filename variable shows the ".indd" extension.
EDIT: Yes, that is (stupidly) how it seems to work. No idea how to fix it though. Suspect Adobe has to issue an update.

Fix variable text (File Name) when importing INDD into INDD

More of a fix request than a new feature:
Simply put, the variable text (File Name) shows the file extension when the document is imported into another INDD regardless of the variable text specifications in the originating document. This is unexpected and undesired.
Please see problem description in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/489492?tstart=0

Seconded. Currently, I don't use this variable in this way, but I can envisage future scenarios where it would be a problem.
And it seems a strange thing to miss out on ... (why would an INDD file behave different?)

Excel cannot open the file beacuse the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file [help]

Hi,
I have a excel file that I have been using since beginning of year.
Yesterday, I tried to open it but a message comes out "
Excel cannot open the file beacuse the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
After I click yes, the page is blank. The file is about 400kb in size.
I have try open and repair and third party repair program and not working also.
I would appreciate a lot if you can help me.
Thank you very much.

Per your post, this problem might be caused by malware on the affected machine.

In order to clean your machine, run Microsoft Safety Scanner (http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx) to kill the malware, and then repair Excel file itself.
If this is not the case, feel free to post back and let me know. Thanks.

Variable text files in CS 5.5 data merge

I have a document that I need to change the text in the document based on a variable in the data file that is being used for the data merge. For example if the are in group A the get letter from text document A, if they are in group B they get the letter from text document B.
Can the data merge in CS 5.5 do this?

not with text and not by itself, but a solution is workable.
indesign's data merge can't place text files as if they were merging pictures, but it can place pictures from jpg, eps, pdf... if the text which changed was a picture, say a PDF, then this would be fine.
as to telling data merge what is variable, indesign won't parse the data as such... it'll just put the data wherever the placeholders were. if you want if/else statements, these need to be done in the excel file first prior to saving as a text file for indesign.
so yes, what the OP wants is do-able, but not "off of the shelf" - some manipulation in excel is required.

Prevent attachments from being added to Meetings

Is there a way to block attachments from being added to meetings?

This won't block them all, but it will block any larger than 1 byte:
New-TransportRule -Name <meaningful name> -MessageTypeMatches 'Calendaring' -AttachmentSizeOver 1 -RejectMessageReasonText 'Attachments are not allowed on Meetings' -RejectMessageEnhancedStatusCode '5.7.1'
The -MessageTypeMatches and -AttachmentSizeOver are anded together so both need to be valid. I'd test this a few times before I put it into production, though.

Creating 2D Array with info from file and Saving it to a text file

what im trying to do is take my nice little data structure and put it into a 2D array which i can copy and paste as code into my compiler... it takes TDPoints(like Point2D except has z value) which are in Faces(an arraylist of points, each face also has a color value), which are in objects(arraylist of faces, + other attributes)
for my sake im only working with one object, here is my code:
     private void saveArrayToTXT(String name) throws IOException
          double X;
          double Y;
          double Z;
          FileOutputStream xos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3LE/MyProjects/ThreeDRemake/Files/" + name + ".txt");

     } i happen to know for a fact that there are no faces with more than 6 points, so i used this line:if((count == ((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().size()-1) && (count < 5))and everything that follows to write ditto information(the last point) over and over again to fill up the array(i could even write a null value here if i wanted)
the problem im having is i seem to be missing two right brackets("}") and with all the information thats going through these loops its impossible to trace where and what is going wrong. can anyone point out any possible flaws to help me figure out what im doing wrong??
Message was edited by:
sosleepy
also, though its not important, when i do:fos.writeChars("...")//(i used writeChars(); to save myself the hassle of typeing writeChar((int)'char').)it writes a blankspace(spacebar) between each string i write, how can i prevent this from happening?

nvm i just realized what i was doing wrong... fixed the error, but a reply on the spaces between writes would be nice

You asked this same question a couple of months ago: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Reading-Data-From-text-File/m-p/1756390#M612805
Well, you can use the Read Text file to read the file, and then just extract the lines... Ben64 showed you a method to use regular expressions. That's one way.
For Excel you can use the Report Generation Toolkit, or you can code it yourself using ActiveX. There's an example that ships with LabVIEW on writing a table to Excel.
For database operations you can use the Database Toolkit, or you can try to use LabSQL.

Unable to find file error while loading data from text file to Oracle

Hi,
I am having a interface where i am loading a data of Text file to Oracle.
But when i am trying to do this i am getting following error.
ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source FILE connection SAPMM.

SAPMM is connection name.
I am using get_filename to get the filename and it is fetching correct value as the this variable refreshes in previous step of this interface.
KM used for loading is File to SQL
What would be cause of this error?
Thanks,

When I download files, firefox is adding " .part " to the file name and the file won't open, but if i back the .part out, it opens fine.

Firefox seems to be adding " .part " to the file names of files I downoad. Here's an example:
YuT9iNv8.pdf.part
I cannot open this file because it can't find an application.
If I back out the .part, I get a box asking if I want to change the extension to .pdf I check yes, and everything works fine. It doesn't happen with other browsers (Safai).

I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space.
How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?

Can the file extension be removed when using the File Special Field?

I placed a Special Field on the top of my topics that gives
me the filename for that specific topic. I used the Insert >
Field > Special Field > File and the File Name is inserted
where I want it. The problem is that i don't want the file
extension to show, just the name. I can't figure out how to do
this...Any suggestions....anyone? Maybe a Script or an applet? Any
input will be greatly appreciated...

Thank you for your response. I did try something similar to
what you suggested but the problem is that whatever I modify it
automatically puts it back like it was as soon as I try to save it.
This is probably because I used the Insert Special Field commands
from the Menu. It automatically places this on the code:
017.htm
Where 017.htm is the actual name of the file for the specific
topic. This means that it's apparently doing this on the background
somewhere I can't see and inserting the value on the code for the
topic...
I hope that made sense! Again, I thank you in advance for any
suggestions...

Would like emails from a particular sender to automatically get exported to a text file or appended to an existing text file on my hard drive

Emails from a particular sender I would like to get appended to a single or to multiple csv or text files.
I think I've read that Mozilla can use filters to get all emails from a particular sender put in a particular folder.
That might be useful but does not get me all the way to goal.
I've also read about 3rd party plugins that give you export options through additional menu options
However, I need something that just automatically exports (without me having to be there and does not require any mouse commands) whenever an email from a particular sender shows up. And that exports to a csv or txt file.
thanks for any time you spend on this question.
Chris

ok I answered my own question on this one.
According to Filtaquilla online documentation:
''(Beginning in Filtaquilla version 1.3.0): By default, the message is saved with the default Thunderbird extension .eml The filter will use a different extension if you append to the file spec a | followed by the extension. So for example if the filespec is C:\temp\saveas\ for the default extension type, change this to C:\temp\saveas\|txt and the extension will be “txt”.''
I was able to verify this works in my test.

I haven't looked closely, but my spidey sense tingles at this:
new FileOutputStream(MPath)This will clobber (erase) the previous contents of the file. Open in append mode:
new FileOutputStream(MPath, true)Of course, if the file exists before you run this code, you will end up append to the original contents. If that is not wanted, consider using File's delete method first.

How to use Automator to batch convert xls/xlsx files into tab OR pipe delimited text file.

If you have answer, please provide specific and detailed steps.
Situation 1:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT "Tab"
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to TAB-DELIMITED file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is TAB-DELIMITED
Situation 2:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT | (pipe, vertical bar)
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to |-delimited file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is "|"-delimited

If your post is addressed to my response then the answer is you have to write your own or search on-line to see if something exists to do what you want.
As you note there is no pre-built script for this.

Writing Records in a Text File to Specific Columns in the Text File

Help Please! I am a noooooooooobbbbbb!
I have searched this forum looking for a procedure that will write records from my database into certain col (positions) in a text file. Example:
1234 TONY TEST 84889922 Y 34 TORCHCOMP 34
5678 BOB JOHNS 43534534 N 56 SAFDWEERE 65
I am thinking I would like to setup variaables like:
Consumer_ID = Consumer(position 1,5)
Name = name(position 10,20)
Invoice_No = Invoice(position 30,40)
etc.
Any input will be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Hi,
That's a formatting issue.
Formatting is best done in the front end. For example, using SQL*Plus:
COLUMN     consumer_id     FORMAT 9999     HEADING     c_id
COLUMN     filler_6_9     FORMAT A4     HEADING     " "
COLUMN     name          FORMAT A11
COLUMN     filler_21_29     FORMAT A9     HEADING     " "
COLUMN     invoice_no     FORMAT 9999999999
SET     COLSEP          ""
SET     PAGESIZE     9999
SPOOL     x.dat
SELECT     consumer_id
,     ' '          AS filler_6_9
,     name
,     ' '          AS filler_21_29
,     invoice_no
FROM     table_x;
SPOOL     OFFIf you have to do it in the back end, use functions like TO_CHAR and RPAD to make each part exactly the right length, then concatenate them all into one big string:
SET     PAGESIZE     0
SPOOL     x.dat
SELECT     TO_CHAR ( consumer_id
          , 'fm99999'
          )          -- 1-5
||     '    '               -- 6-9
||     RPAD ( name
          , 11
          )               -- 10-20
||     '         '          -- 21-29
||     TO_CHAR ( invoice_no
          , 'fm9999999999'

WebLogic writes to a text file and an applet reads the text file

Hi there,
I need some help here!
I have an applet that needs to read from a text file:
final URL prtDataURL = new URL("http://" + getCodeBase().getHost() + ":" + getCodeBase().getPort() + "/ESTC/lib/prtDataFile.txt");
            final URLConnection urlConn = prtDataURL.openConnection();
            urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
            urlConn.setDoInput(true);
            urlConn.setDoOutput(false);
            final InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream());
            final BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(is);
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
                String[] tmp = inputLine.split("§");
                this.dateTime = tmp[0];
                this.quanTot = Integer.parseInt(tmp[1]);
                this.quanSco = Integer.parseInt(tmp[2]);
                this.quanSef = Integer.parseInt(tmp[3]);
                this.valTot = Double.parseDouble(tmp[4]);
                this.valSco = Double.parseDouble(tmp[5]);
                this.valSef = Double.parseDouble(tmp[6]);
            in.close();
            is.close();and this is ok.
Now I have the web server (WebLogic) that must write, at regular time intervals, to that file (prtDataFile.txt). The web application writes to the file (which belongs to the application).
I've tried open the file with the File object but since the war file is unexploded I can't get the real path!
I've tried open an url connection,
final URL url = new URL("http://10.191.33.249:16801/ESTC/lib/prtDataFile.txt");
final URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setDoInput(false);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
out.write(currentDate + "§" + quantTot + "§" + quantSco + "§" + quantSef + "§" + valTot + "§" + valSco + "§" + valSef);;
out.flush();
out.close();which seems a little stupid since I'm opening an URLConnection to the same place where the application is. Anyway it doesn't work, i.e., it doesn't write to the file but it doesn't gives me any errors or exceptions.
Is there another way to get this two pieces communicating?
Thanks in advance

I have almost the exact same problem, and I am in the same situation as you are with respects to the language.
I am simply trying to create a file and output some garbage to it but my applet always spits back a security violation. I've tried eliminating the restrictions on the applet runner I use but I still get the error.
My method:
debug = new Label() ;
debug.setLocation( 20, 20 ) ;
debug.setSize( 500, 15 ) ;
add( debug ) ;
// output
try
     OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream( new File( "" + getCodeBase() + "output.txt" ) ) ;
     byte[] buffer = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ;
     file.write( buffer ) ;
     file.close() ;
} catch( Exception e )
     debug.setText( e.toString() ) ;
     Can anyone tell why this isnt working?
