Pulling text from fields based on criteria

So, I am somewhat new to Adobe LifeCycle designer. I am creating an order form that lists product with some prdouct information. Currently a customer can fill in a quantity under the quantity field and it will auto generate a subtotal and will add that value to the grandtotal.
The next thing that I have to do is create a final page that is the order form. This order form will be printed and mailed in. What I would like to do is automatically pull the products where the quantity is not equal to zero into those fields. I would like to pull the name, size, quantity and subtotal into a row in a table on the order form. So for each product that has a quantity it would have to start on a new line in the table.
ex. First row column one name is ItemNumber1, Second Row column one is ItemNumber2
I think i need a variable that will globally add a number every time one of the quantites is not blank and it uses a row in the table.
Anyone have any coding suggestions?

Check this example from Niall, it shows how you can loop through a table and copy data to another one.

Attach pdf to email and use text from field in body

I'm looking to create a fillable form with a 'submit' button at the bottom. Upon clicking the submit button, I would like an e-mail window to open with a pre-defined recipient, and the pdf attached. I've found code to accomplish this using this.mailDoc()
However:
I'm also hoping to get the text from the "Name" field of my form and use it in the body of the e-mail.
I've found the following code in another post, which appears to work for this:
var cClientName = this.getField("ClientName").value;
var cAddress = this.getField("Address").value;
var cBody = "Client Information:\n\n";
cBody += "Client Name: " + cClientName + "\n";
cBody += "Address: " + cAddress + "\n";
var myURL = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Client Info&body=";
myURL += cBody;
app.launchURL(myURL, true);
That will open an e-mail window with a body containing the data from AcroForm fields named "ClientName" and "Address".
The problem is, that this code will not attach the pdf.
How can I get the best of both worlds?
Thanks!

You don't need launchURL to achieve that. mailDoc is capable of setting the
subject line, email body, recipients lists, etc.
See this tutorial for a detailed explanation:

Pulling Text From A Picture

i have a website that i am redesigning. The website is made up of png images. unYaaaaY!!!!!
A friend said that there was a way that i could use illustrator to pull the text from the png and copy to pages for editing. He cant remember how it was done cause he watched his former boss do it. (he said)
How is this done?
I am decent with PS but novice at AI.

Illustrator cannot, but Acrobat can do OCR. Document >> OCR Text Recognition >> Recognize text using ocr.
Acrobat sometimes does a good job, but often messes up spaces and more.
I have not tried Ocrad, but it is free ocr software, or try ominipage.

Can I have Mail format the "From" field based on my Address book entries?

I have most of my contacts in my address book, but Mail still displays the "From" field in the message list pane with the normal email address header.
Here's an example:
User A emails me a message from this address:
"User A" <[email protected]>
In my Address Book, I have User A's info as this:
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Marley
Email Address: [email protected]
In Mail, though, the "From" field in the message list view still says ...
User A
... when I want it to say ...
Bob Marley
Does that make sense? How can I do this?

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

Getting Count from Sheet1 based on criteria Possibly use of COUNTIF

I have a workbook with two sheets.
Sheet1 has the data and Sheet2 is a summary sheet I am able to use CountIF to pull the car count based on model using =COUNTIF(Inventory!B:B,"NIssan" (col C sheet2). My challenge is populating col D, ColE, ColF and ColG. Hope someone can help me
with the correct fomula for these.

I'd create a helper column, for example in column Z on the Inventory sheet.
In Inventory!Z2: =(E2=G2)
Fill down to the end of the data.
On the Summary sheet:
In C2: =COUNTIF(Inventory!B:B,B2)
In D2: =COUNTIFS(Inventory!B:B,B2,Inventory!Z:Z,TRUE)
In E2: =COUNTIFS(Inventory!B:B,B2,Inventory!Z:Z,FALSE)
In F2: =COUNTIFS(Inventory!B:B,B2,Inventory!H:H,"CA")
In G2: =COUNTIFS(Inventory!B:B,B2,Inventory!H:H,"WA")
Select C2:G2 and fill down as far as needed.

After migrate database from 4 to 9, I'm getting the problem. The problem is Prompt text in Form don't appear. So, how can we get the Prompt text by using the comment of the field in database which it related with that database text. Thank you.

Hello,
The table name is indicated in the query data source name property of the block
Get_Block_Property( 'bloc_name', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME ) ;
The column name is indicated in the column name item property
Get_Item_Property( 'blk.item_name', COLUMN_NAME ) ;
Comment is stored in the user_col_comments view
Here is the code that retrieves coments for all based items of the current block:
Declare
LC$Table    Varchar2(30);
LC$Column   Varchar2(30);
LC$Item     Varchar2(61);
LC$Comment USER_COL_COMMENTS.COMMENTS%Type ;

Pulling text from a .txt to a scroll pane or text area

Hi-
I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript.
Basically, my whole website's going to be in Flash, but I want to be able to update one page (sort of a news/blog page) without having to edit the Flash file every time. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this would be to set up either a scroll pane or a text box and pull the text in from a .txt file (if there's a better way, please let me know). That way I could continue to add on to the .txt file, and Flash would always pull in the current version.
So, my issues are:
1. I have no idea where to start with the code for something like that. Is it a LoadVar? Do I physically put a scroll pane or a text area in the frame and put the action on that, or do I put the action on the frame and have it call up a text area component?
2. Will the text scroll automatically, or is that something else I would have to add in? I plan on adding to this text file for awhile, so it could end up being a lot of text over time.
3. Would I be able to format the text in the .txt at all? For instance, if I hit enter to put in a paragraph break, would that register once it's pulled into Flash, or would I have to put in an html paragraph break or something? That may be a dumb question, but as I said, I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript (or any other programming language for that matter).
Any help is definitely appreciated!
Thanks!

I recommend you use an xml file rather than a text file for storing your content. The main reason being that it tends to make thing more easily organizable, as well as easier to differentiate things like titles, contents, links, images, etc.
You could start off using a TextArea component if you want, just to keep things simple. If you want to format things you can use the htmlText property rather than the text proiperty when assigning your content. That will allow you more control of the presentation.
If you want to take the xml approach, you should search Google for "AS# XML tutorial" where you substitute whatever version you plan to use for the "#". If you plan to use AS3, there is a good tutorial here: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=64

Is there a way to create a link within a document that will pull text from the document and open it up in a separate text box within the document?

I am trying to link sections of an form within a PDF back to instructions within the same PDF document. Instead of having this jump back to the page within the document I would like for it to pull up the identified text within a separate pop-up text box on the same page where the form lives. Is this possible?

Hi gwebster,
Instead of linking back to the instructions page, may be you can use tool tips or comments so that the instructions can be seen besides the text.

Remove garbage text from fields SQL server 2000

I have a SQL server db that just got hacked. I am using
CFQUERYPARAM in all my queries, but somehow still got hacked. It
corrupted data and I know I can do a restore, but I don't want to
lost anything. How can I, for example, remove all garbage
characters to the right of a valid file name?
For example: poppies.png"></title><script src="
http://sdo.1000m
Only poppies.png is valid - the rest I need to remove. How
can I do this with a ColdFusion query? The double quote marks keep
throwing off anything I attempt.

Hi There, To clean up your data, you can select the records
with text you don't want in your database. Then loop through the
tables infected and run update query like this one below :
<cfloop example condition>
<cfquery name="UpdCleanDB" datasource="#Request.DSN#"
username="#Request.user#" password="#Request.pass#">
UPDATE TableName
SET InfectedColumnName
= REPLACE(InfectedColumnName,'"></title><script
src="
http://sdo.1000m','')
WHERE InfectedColumnName like
'%"></title><script src="
http://sdo.1000m%'
</cfquery>
</cfloop>
Either run this T-SQL on Sql Query Analyzer to clean your
data. Remember to Secure your application by setting the code below
into your Application.CFM file:

<cfif FindNoCase("EXEC(", CGI.Query_String) OR
FindNoCase("EXEC(", CGI.Script_Name) OR FindNoCase("EXEC(",
CGI.Path_Info)>
<cfabort>
<cfelseif FindNoCase("CAST(", CGI.Query_String) OR
FindNoCase("CAST(", CGI.Script_Name) OR FindNoCase("CAST(",
CGI.Path_Info)>
<cfabort>
</cfif>
Hope that is well.

Update a text field based on a SelectOneChoice field

Hi,
I have a set of Create, Confirm and Thankyou screens. These screens are bound to a global view object. The create screen has a SelectOneChoice element which allows the user to pick an employee. When the selection is made, I need to display the employee's department in a read only text field below the dropdown. The Employees list(SelectOneChoice) is associated to the read only view object and this view object also has the employee's department information. Im dont know how to set the department name in the text field and refresh the screen. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

Frank, thanks for you time. Please see my answers below.
Hi,
can you help me creating a reproducable testcase
based on the HR schema where we have a Departments
and Employees tables. To understand your usecase I
have some questions:
Im not too familiar with HR Schema.
>
First of all however, what is a "global view object",
and is it safe to assume you are using ADF Business
Components?
Its the "Globals View Object" as described in the SRDemo for creating a new Service Request and yes I am using ADF Business Components.
>
Which version of Oracle JDeveloper do you use ?
10.1.3
>
The usecase I understand is that you have a
selectOneChoiceList that whenever you select a new
name should update a read-only text field with the
department name. Is this correct ? Or is there more
in it ?
Heres the complete description. There are 4 fields on the screen
1. Program Name (text input field, - required field)
2. Program Category (SelectOneChoice field - required field)
3. Employee Name (SelectOneChoice field - required field)
4. Employee Department (Text output field - based on 3 above)
What you have described above is working for me now, but everytime I select a value for 3, it does the required fields check and gives a message like "1 & 2 are required and a value must be entered", this validation should only occur when my continue button is clicked.
>
The department name should be displayed only (read
only), or is it also bound to what you call "global
view"?
Yes its read only but I need to bind to the Globals view as I need to display it in the confirmation screen.
>
Also, just to be sure, is the department name part of
the VO or is it the departmentId?
The screen is bound to the Globals View, the selectOneChoice values are displayed from another view(EmployeeList view) which has the department name.

Defaulting the email address in From field.

Hi ,
I am working on requirement to default the email address in from field and populate the eligible emails ID 's as drop down in from field based on some condition. So I need to overwrite the standard emails data that are already coming in from field.Please see the attachment for your reference.
I did below analysis.
Component:CRMCMP_CCS_EML
View:Email header
Method: DO_PREPRRE_OUTPUT.
I achieved populating the drop down values..by populating the values in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses.
But my requirement is to default one email based on some condition. So I populated the default value as first entry in the drop down list box so that it will automatically default.
It's working as expected if we have personalizing setting for Drop down list as 'Default'.Please see the attachment for your reference. But it's not working if we have settings like 'By Value' and 'By Key'.
Ex: If I have two emails in GT_DEFAULT_FROM_ADDRESS like .[email protected],CC(First entry Default)[email protected](Second entry). if I use the settings 'Default' it's default with [email protected] if i use other setting it's defaulting with [email protected]
Could any one has any idea how to handle this..and options that we have in this case.
Or is there any other field I can default for From Field. (This should work for New ,Reply and Reply all )
I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
SaraSAP.

Hi Sara,
I believe that selection is controlled by attribute typed_context->mail->GV_SELECTION_FROM.
So, when you populate the possible entries in typed_context->mail->gt_default_from_addresses, just try to fill your desired default value in mentioned attribute and check if that works.
Kind regards,
Garcia

Default address in "from" field?

I have 4 e-mail accounts that Mail checks. When I write an e-mail (that is not an answer) I want the "from" address to be my Mac account. Mail does not remember this.
If I LOOK in another mailbox, then Mail changes the "From" to be from that mail box account. How do I set the default to always be my Mac account??

Any way I can set the default "from" field based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

Replace text from external source expression from AE CS6 not working in AE CC

We have used some expressions in an AE CS6 project to fill text from an external file. Here's an example:
try{
/* "mypath" must be absolute to data file */
myPath = "file:////nynfile1/Production/Egg/Marque/data.txt";
$.evalFile(myPath);
/* Use [0,1,2] for array offset value(Name, Date, Time)*/
eval(thisComp.name)[0];
}catch(err){
/* Display if data error found*/
"text not found";
It works fine in CS6. When we open the file in AE CC, the expressions can't find the data.txt file to pull text from. All we get is the "text not found" error. We stepped through debug and the data.txt file doesn't open/isn't found.
What up with that?

This was just for setting up, but here's the file's contents:
var banner01 = ["Name01", "Date01", "Time01"];
var banner02 = ["Name02", "Date02", "Time02"];
var banner03 = ["Name03", "Date03", "Time03"];
var banner04 = ["Name04", "Date04", "Time04"];
var banner05 = ["Name05", "Date05", "Time05"];
var banner06 = ["Name06", "Date06", "Time06"];
var banner07 = ["Name07", "Date07", "Time07"];
var banner08 = ["Name08", "Date08", "Time08"];
var banner11 = ["Name11", "Date11", "Time11"];
var banner12 = ["Name12", "Date12", "Time12"];
var banner13 = ["Name13", "Date13", "Time13"];
var banner14 = ["Name14", "Date14", "Time14"];
var banner15 = ["Name15", "Date15", "Time15"];
var banner16 = ["Name16", "Date16", "Time16"];
var banner17 = ["Name17", "Date17", "Time17"];
var banner18 = ["Name18", "Date18", "Time18"];

Microsoft Word 2007 Text Form Fields: Cannot limit characters

Hi there,
Thank you very much for taking the time to check this post out.
I know that someone had already put a similar question up (a few years ago) and it got resolved, but there was no information as to how the fix was applied or what went wrong with the document, so that is why I am posting this problem now :)
On page 2 of the document (Sample file
) under the headings of:
Identified Hazards
Control Method
Review Responsibility
the form field will not limit the number of characters although it has been stipulated in the Text From Field Options , the result being, when I put the template under protection
for data input, the spacings change or I get to the end of the line and some of the previous typed text disappears.
Surely there should be some fix out there, or an explanation of why it doesn't work (? corrupted document?).
I'd be most grateful for any assistance you provide.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Thank you to all for your responses :)
I also tried changing the font type .... as I found this article, which really made me understand how the different font types have different character widths within the same font and how that impacts on the number of character you want to limit to.
The link is
Word Tips by Allen Wyatt and there he advises that one of the most
Extract:
"For instance, if you don't want your field to wrap to the next line, then you need to set a maximum length guaranteed to fit on a single line. Calculating such a length can be difficult, particularly if you are using a proportional font. For this reason,
some people like to set the font of their fields to a monospace font, such as Courier; it makes calculating field lengths easier."
Also from Wikipedia,
Monospaced fonts which explains how 'size' actually matters :).
I just thought I'd share what I have found as this appears to have resolved my problem. (It just took some time to discover it ) ...
Cheers,

Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Require data from field: STATUS belonging to structure: MEREQ3330

Gurus,
I am MM consultant, so please excuse me if its a simple question,
I need to pull data from field: STATUS belonging to structure: MEREQ3330.
Data element: MMPUR_PR_EXTSOURCE_STATUS_TY
This field belongs to Purchase Requisition.
Can you please explain in simple english, how can I extract data of the
above mentioned field from structure.
I read the forum threads, but most of them are talking for programming or pulling
data of FM. I dont understand, what to do there.
Edited by: Afshad Irani on Jun 4, 2010 7:44 PM

Thank you Vaas, your answer was very close, I could not find my DATA Element, but I was getting closer results through this
Data Element: MEREQ_PROC_STATUS.
Can anyone, Please tell me whether to find field data belonging to any other structure, I can view the table the same way as mentioned by Vaas e.g. for structure of PO, I can check EKKO_tech or EKPO_TECH.
Your answers are appreciated.
