Hello,
What we want to do is remove extra text, IE (PO12345.195) We would want to remove the .195 from the end of that data so that the groupings will group them correctly. How can I accomplish this. The defaul trim commands seem to only elimnate white space, I want to elimnate text up to a certain point. thanks
Ralph

You want to do an INSTR to locate the period, then a LEFT to only show the data before it. Something like:
IF INSTR({table.field},".") > 0 THEN LEFT({table.field},(INSTR({table.field},".") )-1) ELSE {table.field}
I subtracted 1 because in your example above the period is in position 8 and you want the first 7 characters.

Gain control freezes after a certain point (cannot get highlights to 100) with colorwheel mode

I just purchased Adobe CC, (Switching from FCP 7, did not want to upgrade to FCP X). Really loving SpeedGrade (was an Apple color user)
I am using a standard iMAC keyboard and magic mouse (iMAC 27")
In colorwheel mode: After setting the blacks to 0 with the offset wheel, I try to move the gain wheel to the right, to get my highlights to 100. Even when holding shift, I have to click and drag several times to move the pointer. I cannot move it in one motion. Even then, the pointer will literally stop or "freeze" at about the 3 o'clock position. In order to get my highlights to 100, I have to switch to the Editbox mode and scroll the numbers up manually. I cannont do it with the colorwheel mode.
Very frustrating. Any advice?

Thank you so much for your prompt response. After I posted my question, I looked online and found some users had the exact same issue and found the solution. It is in the way you move the mouse:
When clicking on the indicator for a color wheel, my impulse was to move the mouse in a downward circular motion, to mimic the round path of the wheel. This appears to not work and makes the indicator "freeze" after a certain point.
When clicking on the indicator and then moving the mouse laterally, directly to the left or right on a mouse pad (or desk), it moves the color wheel indicator all the way down to either end. When moving the mouse this way, it seems to work. I hope I’m explaining this clearly.
To answer your question, yes the issue was with the Offset and Gamma wheels as well. But since the particular adjustment for these was not as much, I didn't realize it. But the gain adjustment I was doing was more severe, which is why I thought it was just the gain wheel adjustment.
So it appears it was the way you move the mouse to adjust the color wheel - which should be left and right.
I really am enjoying Speedgrade much more than Color. I was a huge Color fan as well and very upset when Apple discontinued it. I am very happy I found SpeedGrade and look forward to learning it more in depth. My next challenge is to find out how to use the SG color wheel controls to mimic curve adjustments.

Removing characters from string after a certain point

Im very new to java programming, so if this is a realy stupid question, please forgive me
I want to remove all the characters in my string that are after a certain character, such as a backslash. eg: if i have string called "myString" and it contains this:
109072\We Are The Champions\GEMINI
205305\We Are The Champions\Queen
4416\We Are The Champions\A Knight's Tale
a00022723\We Are The Champions\GREEN DAYi would like to remove all the characters after the first slash (109072*\*We...) leaving the string as "109072"
the main problem is that the number of characters before and after is not the always the same, and there is often letters in the string i want, so it cant be separated by removing all letters and leaving the numbers
Is there any way that this can be done?
Thanks in advance for all help.

You must learn to use the Javadoc for the standard classes. You can download it or reference it on line. For example [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html].

Removing Extra Space after Crop?

I have tried to find a solution for this problem and haven't found an answer so maybe someone can help me.
I am editing some videos and I want to crop out a large section of them. When I use the crop tool it removes the part of the video no problem -- but then I am left with a small section of video and a huge black area (where what I removed used to be). I can resize the video but it doesn't let me actually remove the black area for some reason -- also I can't seem to move the new video at all (its in the upper left hand corner of the cross hairs and the entire rest is black). Is there any way to remove the excess or export my newly cropped video (and not the blank space)?
Thanks for all of your help

Park the playhead in the Timeline at a suitable reference point for your cropping/enlarging.
In the Canvas, select Image + Wireframe in the box at the top center of the window.
Select the clip to load it into the viewer.
Use the crop tool to adjust the image to your liking. You can also drag the copped image around the Canvas window while the cursor displays as four-direction arrows.
Now go to the Motion tab in the Viewer and scale up the image as needed, using the Scale settings in the Basic Motion section.
Be aware that the more you enlarge, the more pixelated the image will become.

How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

Hi sarika,
Welcome to SDN.
1. first of all, such display of text,
   is not automatic.
   (it appears to be automatic)
2. At design time,
   a) take one extra field for text
     and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
3. Then in PBO coding,
    call some module, and in that module
    write code
4. The code should be to
   select from TEXT Table
   into the work area.
EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
T510A-FIELDNAME.
CLEAR t510a.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
5. This will take care of
   displaying the text value of that field.

amit m.

How do I remove extra space after an image in an ePub created with InDesign?

I've designed more than a dozen ebooks with InDesign and have recently been having problems with the spacing after images, both images that are anchored in the text or stand-alone and exported through the Articles Panel. Following are a few details:
• In the Object Export Settings, I have the vertical spacing set to 0 both before and after the images and no breaks added.
• In the Export panel, I do not have any vertical spacing applied to images.
• I do not have any Object Style settings applied.
• It doesn't seem to matter if I anchor the image into the text or have it as a stand-alone image in the Articles Panel with the caption after it in a separate text box, also in the Articles Panel.
• I broke down the ePub into an html file and did not see any div or span classes that were different between images that are showing correctly vs. incorrectly.
• Extra space appears in both iBooks on my computer, as well as on my iPad.
• I converted to a mobi file for the Kindle and the space wasn't there.
See attached screen shot. There shouldn't be that big gap between the image and the orange caption.
Any help or suggestions anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I've tried everything I can think of with the same results over and over!

Yes. That is the technique I traditionally use to drop an image into text. I even cut and pasted again as you suggested with the same result. Trust me, this is driving me nuts. I'm not doing anything different than before, but my results are different, even within the same document. I'll attach a few examples, all from this same document.
How the space after my in-line image is supposed to look:

How old are you? If 1998 is the year you were born, it's entirely possible your parents have subscribed to a 'smart limits' service, which will disable your data connection, text messaging, etc. during hours they choose.

Cross tab does not read data after a certain point

Post Author: tatiana88
CA Forum: General
I am using CR10 and have created a simple table that reports hours by month - Jan thru Dec. The report displays data for the months of Jan thru April, but the data for May and onwards is not being read (it shows as 0 for these months). I have updated my registry to ensure that the timeout is disabled (value is 0) and that the MaxNBrowseValues is as large enough to cover the numer of records. The only anomalie is that there is actually a range of records with 0 values exactly at the point where the reporting gets weird, but towards the end, the records in the database actually do have non-zero values, but they are not being picked up by Crystal for some reason. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Post Author: tatiana88
CA Forum: General
I have checked the select statement, and there is nothing odd: the date range is a parameter entered selected by the user, and it includes 5/2007 and 6/2007 - and it seems that this range parameter is being taken by Crystal since the columns May and June both appear. This is strange in that if the values were truly 0 for May and June, the columns themselves would not appear. Both May and June have data posted in the database. All other months (Jan through April) show accurately on the Crystal Report.

Writing PDF files - Crashes after a certain point

Post Author: virtitel
CA Forum: .NET
I have a 2003 .NET project that iterates through a recordset to write pdf files out into personalized directories.
The process works fine on my work computer but on my laptop, it crashes after about 110 reports written (out of up to 900).
I crashes on the export. What gives? Is there a resource limit of some kind? I can't find anything on it.
Would LOVE some help with this.
Thanks!

Hi there
Have you tried using the preloader? My guess as to what is happening is that perhaps things are simply taking some time to load up. I suppose you might somewhat confirm that by trying the playback again. If my suspicions are correct, you should see that they either play fully the second time through with no issues or that they play longer than they did on the previous try without pausing.
Cheers... Rick

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
