Save NI report generator files with new names

I was trying to save labview library files under new names so that I could adapt the code but the 'Save As' option is greyed out. In certain cases, when I try to copy and paste the code, I get broken wires and cannot get the VI's to work.
I have been using the report generator toolkit which is quite limited. I was trying to delete a row from an spreasheet but there is no function to do this. So, one workaround that was suggested to me was to use the 'Excel Insert Cells' VI and change the code to instruct it to 'clear' cells rather than 'insert' them. This works, but I wanted to save a copy of the amended file under a different name so that it was independent of the installed library files but I can't seem to do this. I tried to copy out the code but got broken wires even though I have been able to do this in other instances.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I had the same problem with a project and found the following workaround:
To ensure the original function of any library VI, it's not recommended to just change the VI to do something else.
Therefore I expanded the VI to do both, the original functionality and the special function I needed.
I made an extra Input to the VI, which is a boolean Input.
With that extra optional Input I can now choose the function I want to do.
I made the "False" case to be default. This case works like the original function.
The "True" case is built to do my special function.
This workaround is quite easy and not dangerous. For all projects, which would use the function in their normal use case it's working just as if the file was unchanged.
And for projects using special functionality I can add a "True" constant to my VI Input and the function works as I want..
Hope this workaround helps to fix your problem!
Kind regards

  • Oracle Apps RDF Report generates file with ^M (Carriage return) characters

    We are upgrading from 11i to r12 (also moving from HP unix to AIX on hardware side) and this rdf report generates a text file which is then eventually sent to a third party system for printing. Report works just fine in 11i as it generates a file without any ^M chars but in R12 environment, the same report generates file with ^M chars.
    Also want to understand how the Oracle Apps system hands over the output files to O/S which is saved.
    Pls advice
    Thanks

    What type of concurrent program are we talk about here?
    This is a Report type of Concurrent program
    How does the text file get generated?
    Report is generating a Text file on :desname, a custom folder. 
    Was the binary mode used to copy the files from the old server to the new one?
    I believe RDF Reports were copied over in Binary format but none of the text files generated from old server are copied over.

  • How do I save excel file with new name?

    Returning to using a Mac after 20 years - so not familiar with many things.
    I have an existing Excel file that I am using and making changes to... how do I save it as a new file name?
    I click on the 'disk' icon on the top ribbon but that just saves it as the same file-name with an updated time-stamp... that won't work for me.

  • In Pages how do I save a file with another name

    In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

    I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
    I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
    You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
    I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
    Saving a Copy of a Document
    If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
    To save a copy of a document: 
    Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
    The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

  • TextEdit: how save document with new name?

    I tryed in many ways to save modified document with new name with TextEdit but no one works for me.

    Use TextEdit > File > Duplicate.
    For this example, my original document is named Lorem.rtf. I open it with TextEdit, and then Duplicate it. A new TextEdit document window appears. Its default name is Untitled (Lorem copy). If you pass your pointer near the right parenthesis, a downward pointing triangle appears. Click that and the Name field has Lorem Copy preselected. Press the delete key to erase this name, and enter the new name — followed by a return to set it.

    This seems like a Photoshop error not an AppleScript one. Have you looked in the Photoshop dictionary to see if the command you are getting the error on exists and if it has those options?
    If all you want to do is resize image files and save the resized image file you might want to look at Automator. Specifically the Scale Image action under Photos.

  • Can't save any file with any name-InDesign CC

    can't save any file with any name-file DBTmp4376-863643269 is damaged (error code:0)
    InDesign CC, OS version 10.9.1
    I explored solutions to failure in background task alert which did not work. Been using adobe products since they came on the scene. Nothing like this. Please help.

    I'm using version 9.2.
    Yes, it started with a new file. Support gave me the solution to save it to my desktop which worked. When I put it back in the original folder and opened/save it would not save to that folder. Created a new folder and was able to open & save to the new folder. That seems to be a workable solution. How a folder can become corrupt is a bit scarey.
    In experimenting with solutions I received another error "failure in background task alert" and discovered CS5 problems with background task.
    However the solutions for CS5 did not work in my incidence.
    I sure would like to prevent this from happening again. If you have any insights please share them. Otherwise I will just accept the experience as another computer workaround and be thankful that I have it.
    Thanks for responding.

  • I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

    I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
    How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
    Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
    Who can help me?
    THX in advance

    Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
    NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
    Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
    Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
    - Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
    - Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
    - Nuova azione
    - Dare il nome e premere Registra
    Ora salva…
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
    - Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
    - Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
    - Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
    - Fermare la registrazione.
    A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
    Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
    ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
    - Duplicare il file,
    - Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
    - Lavorare sul file duplicato.
    mi riferisco a questo...
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
    Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
    Procedere così:
    - Chiudere Photoshop
    - Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
    fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += layerName;
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "";
    - salvare e uscire.
    - riavviare Photoshop
    - provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
    Domanda:
    Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
    Risposta:
    Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
    Semplice... no?
    English version
    Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
    First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
    I explain step by step what I did:
    - I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
    - I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
    - New action
    - Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
    Now save ...
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
    - Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
    - Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
    - Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
    - Stop recording.
    At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
    To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
    WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
    - Duplicate the file
    - Move the original folder to another
    - Work on the duplicate file.
    WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
    WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
    However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
    Proceed as follows:
    - Close Photoshop
    - Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = layerName ;
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "";
    - Save and exit.
    - Restart Photoshop
    - Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
    Question:
    Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
    Answer:
    Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
    Simple ... is not it?
    Sorry for my bad English...
    Thanks in advance for any hint.

  • Webhelp forcefully generating files with lowercase filepath

    Hi,
    I have a list of APIs in the TOC that has the folder names in Sentence case;
    The TOC is somewhat like this:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    -Product APIs
    ---xyz
    ------API documentation
    ---------foo
    ------------foo API1
    ------------foo API2
    ------------foo API2
    ------Webservices API documentation
    ---------Foo
    ------------FooAPI1
    ------------FooAPI2
    ------------FooAPI2
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The path to an API in Foo in the auto-generated files, such as in whdata, should be: /product_apis/xyz/webservices/Foo.
    However, the path in the the auto-generated files changes to /product_apis/xyz/webservices/foo/
    (note 'Foo' changes to 'foo')
    Since Linux is case-sensitive, these API links do not work in Linux.
    I have replaced all such instances by using a search and replace tool.
    But this is only temporary.
    How do I make sure the files maintain the correct case of the filepath or foldernames
    Thanks and regards,
    PT

    Okay, got it.
    Thanks Rick!!
    I could figure out why the links are breaking by knowing that the filapaths are being generated in all lowercase; I got to know about this by examining the auto-generated files. That's about it.
    Thanks again

    Hello again In RoboHelp 7 if you examine the properties of your Single Source Layout recipe, look near the top of the first page of the dialog. There is where you see the option for lower case file names.  http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-3942922-84647/318-346/tmp1.PNG  Actually, this option is intended to PREVENT things from going haywire when you publish. When it's enabled, the process of generating WebHelp ensures all file names are lower case. But it also ensures all links are amended to lower case so it will prevent broken links from occurring. I'm confused as to your mention of what's inside the whdata, whgdata and whxdata files. These are auto generated by RoboHelp and there should never be a need to muck about with any of them. If you are, perhaps that's part of the issue?   Cheers...

    I lost my iPad in Oct-2012. It appears that it was wiped out since it disappeared from Find My iPad list within 15 min of the incident.

    Any hope to retrieve it. What should I do?

I thought if I turned it off and back on then the popup blocker should disappear, but I couldn't even access the power off slider. I never knew how to reset the iPad.. I did what you said and it worked.. yay. My iPad is back in business thanks to you lol... I saved $20 for a simple tech repair lol, I am a happy lady right now.

  • Pick the file with dynamic name

    Dear All
    My scenario is file to idoc.
    legacy system generates file with a file name as current date.txt which keeps on changing
    eg:   on 9th july file name is 09072009.txt and
           on 10thjuly filename would be 10072009.txt
    How do i pick such file and process it?

    Please help me in resolving this issue
    Thanks

    Hello Baskar Raj,
        Your requierement can be acheived by using the combination of UDF and ASMA(AdapterSpecifieMessageAttriburrtes) which helps us greatly in meeting dynamic filename rquirements.
    1.You have to enable either FIlename,Time stamp or all the he ASMA in the sender side communication channel .
    2.Write the UDF that gets the file name (CURRENT DATE.txt)during runtime that is available from enabling ASMA in sender communication channel .
    3.change it to the name u want to modify (Replace with the new file name by getting time stamp from the ASMA attributes.
    4. Map the UDF output to any of the target nodes(can be messagetype node MT_ur msg type name).
    5.Enable ASMA on the target side also in that chek same file name.
    Code to be writen in UDF is mentioned by sunilchandra in the below thread u jus need to avoid filename in that and use only date format it will acheive ur requrement.
    Re: Regarding Target File name
    Thanks,

    You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
    Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Live view putting a file with no name

    So i have a problem (don't know if it's a problem really, but at least an annoyance) with the Live View and Preview in browser features.
    When use them, the file transfer window pops up (even if i have told it to stay "hidden") showing the following:
    Started: 29.5.2013 15.47
    index.php - same - not transferred
    Connections:Raspberrypi.php - same - not transferred
    styles:common.css - same - not transferred
    - error occurred - Access denied.  The file may not exist locally,  may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem.
    File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
    Files skipped: 3
    Files with errors: 1
    Finished: 29.5.2013 15.47
    So the weird lines are those marked with red. It looks like its trying to put a file with no name or extensions at all - and i don't think i have such files on my site. Also the permissions are correct on both the server and my Mac.
    My web browser opens up and shows the site perfectly, and if I'm using the Live View, the site shows up well too. The thing is every time I hit F5 to refresh, i have to close the file transfer window. Annoying.
    I don't know if it matters but I'm using a Raspberry Pi as my home web server. It has Apache2, PHP 5, MySQL and vsftpd running, and I have been able to use them with no problem earlier.
    Hopefully someone knows what I am doing wrong here...
    Thanks in adnvance!

    Have you enabled Automatic Upload on SAVE?  I never FTP files on Save.  Way too much risk of error and it takes focus away from my work which is very distracting.  See screenshot.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot find moved files or files with edited names

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1 cannot find recent files or files with edited names.
    For instance, if a PDF file is moved in the hard disk from one foder to another, Acrobat cannot find it when trying to open it via "File - Open Recent File".
    Likewise, if the name of the file is changed in the Finder.
    Similarly, if a PDF file is open, it is marked with the yellow fluorescent marker of Acrobat, its name is then changed in the Finder and later on you try to save it, Acrobat says that it cannot find such file.
    Yet, applications like Microsoft Word do not have any of the above problems. It would be great if Adobe could fix these serious productivity issues, which have plagued Acrobat for many years now.
    How to send such feedback to Adobe?
