Script making text binary

have an Automator script that is doing something funky and I was wondering if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. What the script does, is:
1. Filters an IRC chat log so that it is broken into 3 hours (2PM, 3PM, 4PM)
2. It then combines the three hour logs into a single text file
3. Next it renames the file to chat_today's date.zip
4. Then it zips the file as archive.zip
5. Next it renames it to chat_today's date.zip
6. It then uploads the zip to an FTP server
7. Then the IRC chat as a whole (all hours) is zipped and archived
8. Original "whole" chat log is then moved to the trash as is the individual hour text files and the uploaded zip
My problem is that when you download the zip file and view the text on a Mac it looks fine, however, if you view the same file on a PC it puts in extra binary spaces and wants to use the "big endian" format if viewed in Word.
Here is an example of what I mean: http://leoville.tv/chatlogs/chat_20060430.zip
PDF of the script: http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/1004769~239f9bacc1353186425116afaae3c6e5/V ersion%202--Get%20KFI%20Chat%20Logs.zip

Michael,
if you look at the log file with a HEX Editor, you will see the following:
FE FF 02 DB 02 C7 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 70 ...
This means that the file was originally Unicode (UTF-16) but was interpreted as MacRoman and then converted to Unicode, resulting in everything being duplicated:
• FE FF is the Unicode byte-order mark which was added in the conversion - this is fine
• 02 DB is the UTF-16 equivalent of the character FE in MacRoman, 02 C7 is the equivalent of FF - which means you had a Unicode byte-order mark before but it got interpreted as MacRoman and converted to Unicode again
• 00 00 00 41 is the Unicode equivalent of 00 41 (which is Unicode already and denotes the character "A") interpreted as MacRoman
Looking at the work flow and playing around in Automator a little, it seems as if it does not allow you the flexibility to specify file encodings so you might have to use an AppleScript or shell script within your workflow - you could use AppleScript to extract the paragraph from the original file and write to a new file and then zip that new file or use a little shell script which does it all (use "sed" to extract everything between the date and the next new paragraph and then pipe the output to "zip")

Problem with making text 3D

Making text a 3d repousse object is easy enough, but if I add filters to the text, select it and then try to make a repousse object FROM the selection, the text gets rendered in 3d, but
there is no hole between letters like O and P and A. Is there anyway I can cut holes into these letters? If not then how else can I make 3d text with filters on them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Help Making Text Picture Frames

I came across this neat design feature, and I am not too sure how to go about creating this element because I am new to Illustrator. Still, I figure this is either a PS or an Illustrator feature. Whatever the case, how can I go about making text that incorporates picture frames as seen in the words "Road Trip" (and if there are any videos out there that would be great).

I think what you are asking is how to make images appear through type.
If you want to make a single image appear through a word, all you need to do is to position the (live) type on top of the image, select type and image and hit Cmd/Ctrl+7. This makes the type into a clipping mask.
Alternatively, if you want each letter to contain a separate image, outline the type, ungroup (preferably) and make each letter into a clipping mask over its own image.
There are other ways but this is the easiest.
Here are two examples:
The top one is live type masking a single image.
The bottom one is outlined type masking two images. In this case you will need to make compound paths, one for each set of letters, WES and TMAN ISLANDS. Each compound path masks its own image.

New to bash scripting; making script to change laptop CPU governor

I've got an old laptop and I like to be able to change the governor between performance and ondemand depending on whether or not I've got the laptop plugged in. I'd really like to be able to do this from a shortcut on the desktop, so I decided to try making a bash script that used Zenity dialogs to accomplish this.
I think it turned out pretty much how I'd like, however the error handling on getting the root password authenticated is pretty broken. I'm not sure how exactly I should go about it.. I think that the long timeout that occurs when you enter a wrong password for su is causing problems. Is there a better way of doing this? I don't use sudo, and I'd really prefer to avoid it and stick to using su if at all possible.
#!/bin/bash
#This script will supply a Zenity dialog with the option to change the laptop's governor.
#It will use a Zenity dialog to acquire the root password from user for autorization to change the governor.
#Set up some variables we will use.
optionPerformance="FALSE"
optionOndemand="FALSE"
#Read the current state of the governor.
currentGovernor=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
#Change the variables we previously set up to reflect current state of governor. This will be used to determine which option is pre-selected in the Zenity dialog we will create.
if [ $currentGovernor = 'performance' ]
then optionPerformance="TRUE"
fi
if [ $currentGovernor = 'ondemand' ]
then opitonOndemand="TRUE"
fi
#Set up Zenity dialog which allows user to select the governor they want active. The currently active governor will be selected by default.
#User's input will go to the wantedGovernor variable for future use.
wantedGovernor=$(zenity --list --text "Select which governor you want to make active:" --radiolist --column "" --column "Options" $optionPerformance "performance" $optionOndemand "ondemand")
#Check to see if user clicked Cancel button.
if [ $? = 1 ]
then exit 0
fi
#Did user select the already active profile? If so, simply report that and exit.
if [ $wantedGovernor = $currentGovernor ]
then
newGovernor=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
zenity --info --text "Governor is already set to $newGovernor.\n\nNo changes were made."
exit 0
fi
#Now that we know what the user wants, let's do it.
#We will use cpupower to change the governor. This will require root privileges, so we will use Zenity to get the root password from user and pipe it into su. (Is this the best way?)
zenity --title "Password for root:" --password | su -c "cpupower frequency-set -g $wantedGovernor"
#Check to see if user clicked Cancel button.
if [ ${PIPESTATUS[0]} = 1 ]
then exit 0
fi
#Check to see if user entered incorrect root password.
if [ ${PIPESTATUS[1]} = 1 ]
then
zenity --error --text "Incorrect root password.";
exit 1
fi
#Now that we've made the change, let's check the current state of the governor again so that we can report it to the user and they can verify success.
newGovernor=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
zenity --info --text "Governor is now set to $newGovernor."

Thanks for the advice, Awebb. I looked into gksu but I didn't like how it offered to save the root password in gnome-keyring. I found an alternative, ktsuss, and decided to go with that instead.
I'll post the finished script here, for anyone who is ever interested in such a thing:
#!/bin/bash
#This script will supply a Zenity dialog with the option to change the laptop's governor.
#It will use a Zenity dialog to acquire the root password from user for autorization to change the governor.
#Set up some variables we will use.
optionPerformance="FALSE"
optionOndemand="FALSE"
#Read the current state of the governor.
currentGovernor=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
#Change the variables we previously set up to reflect current state of governor. This will be used to determine which option is pre-selected in the Zenity dialog we will create.
if [ $currentGovernor = 'performance' ]
then
optionPerformance="TRUE"
fi
if [ $currentGovernor = 'ondemand' ]
then optionOndemand="TRUE"
fi
#Set up Zenity dialog which allows user to select the governor they want active. The currently active governor will be selected by default.
#User's input will go to the wantedGovernor variable for future use.
wantedGovernor=$(zenity --list --text "Select which governor you want to make active:" --radiolist --column "" --column "Options" $optionPerformance "performance" $optionOndemand "ondemand")
#Check to see if user clicked Cancel button.
if [ $? = 1 ]
then exit 0
fi
#Did user select the already active profile? If so, simply report that and exit.
if [ $wantedGovernor = $currentGovernor ]
then
newGovernor=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
zenity --info --text "Governor is already set to $newGovernor.\n\nNo changes were made."
exit 0
fi
#Now that we know what the user wants, let's do it.
#We will use cpupower to change the governor. This will require root privileges, so we will use ktsuss to get that.
ktsuss cpupower frequency-set -g $wantedGovernor
#Now that we've made the change, let's check the current state of the governor again so that we can report it to the user and they can verify success.

SAP SCRIPT Header text and Item text not printing in customized PO

Hello Experts,
                      I have copied the standard MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK and customized the form according to the requirement.
I want to print the header text and Item text in my form.
For Header text I have used :
/: INCLUDE &EKKO-EBELN& OBJECT EKKO ID F01
Problem 1: The text what I enter in header text is flowing only when I hit on print preview without saving the form. Once I save the SAP SCRIPT and click on print preview the field is appearing blank. I also tried to print the form, but the field is appearing blank even on the print out.
Problem 2: For item text the field is concatenation of EBELN & EBELP. Can anyone suggest me how to concatenate and fetch the text in item text.

Hi,
Data is li_lines internal table. 1st you have to read the text form the internal table line by sy-tabix.
At last you have to concatenate these variable into the out tab value.
you can use the following code
ORM fetch_table_data TABLES in_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
                             out_tab STRUCTURE itcsy.
TABLES EKKO.

SAP Script: Include text in MAIN window prints outside MAIN window margins

Hi,
We're facing a peculiar issue. We call a text element in the MAIN window of an SAP Script form using FM WRITE_FORM.
The element has 2 includes.
The problem is that when the content of any of the 2 includes is large enough, the include text prints overflows outside the MAIN window margins on the first page and into the area of the footer window of the same page. It does not automatically flow to the next page MAIN window.
We have checked that the MAIN window and FOOTER window margins do not overlap. Infact they are quite far from each other.
We have tried stuff like using a forced PROTECT, change the para format etc, but nothing solves the problem.
Does anyone have any idea?

You do not need to use the subroutine READ_ORDER_TEXT to get another text name because you already have it: TMP_TXNAM2 .
Pass this value back to your SAPscript, and it is okay.
Or you can even check the text object is empty or not, if no text is found, print 2 empty lines:
still use your subroutine to read the text, if no line is found, set TMP_TXNAM2 to empty, otherwise, no change,
In SAPscript, check the value is empty or not, then print 2 empty line or the text object...

Script making Flash 9 running slow Error

Hey guys i have a site that manage uploads for our content
providers, but when you run the flash movie and you start uploading
a file, somewhere is the middle of the upload, a message pops
saying that a script in the movie is making the flash player to run
slow, and thta you computer may turn unresponive, after googling
for this error i find out that my script may have a infinitive loop
or function, i've been tryint to find the error on my scrip but
with no luck, here is the code, if anyone have a chance to take a
look will be appreciate it. thanks in advance.

Can you repost your code so that it is displayed line by line
rather than one long line?

SAP Script absolute text positions

HI everyone,
I am kind of new to SAP Script and I have some trouble defining correct positions of text.
The point is the following:
I got a lot of boxes, frames and so on with fixed positions.
Every of these boxes and frames create a kind of table with a fixed amount of lines (for instance 5 lines each table).
For instance
Box1
Customer
cust1
cust2
Box2
discount
dis1
dis2
I create the boxes by using variable windows fix on the page. The text needs to be written at the main window as I do not know the exact amount of lines (max 5, but can be less). For example, if I can only receive 1 instead of 5 customers, the text for discounts will not be placed at the dicount table correctly. How can I solve this problem? I can not write multiple lines of text in variable windows by using a loop. If I am writing the text at the main window the start of these texts will not be static and absolute?
Greetings from Berlin
Robert
Edited by: RQuade on Nov 29, 2010 11:13 PM

You can both write text lines and draw boxes within the MAIN window processing. Check the help files for the BOX and POSITION commands for the box positioning. You may want to google the SAPScript Made Easy Guide and download it as well.

Sap Script - Printing text

Hi Experts,
In a classical ABAP report we make use of
write:/20 'Text'.
to print text from the 20th column. Can we do something similar in a SAP Script Page Window. I have a box and lines drawn. Now I want the text to start exactly after the vertical line(column). Is there a way to do in SAP Script.
Regards
Abdullah.

Hi
You can do one thing. you can straight away write the field
&BSEG-SGTXT&
in two lines straight with offset.
in the first line T1 &BSEG-SGTXT+0(25)&
In second line T1 &BSEG-SGTXT+25(25)&
first write like this and see, is it printing or not.

Hello. I have a few simple things that I want to know how to do in Illustrator with Java script so that I can easily automate it. I have looked at examples of scripts but most are too large and doing too many things for me to understand. If you can answer any one of these please do so.
1) How to determine the font size of text without having text selected? All fonts in my files should be the same size so this may require just testing the first text found, possibly by just scrolling through all of the objects until text is found. I would like to have the font size to be set to a variable that I can use it later.
2) How to set all text in document to a given font size and type? Let's say Helvetica, 6pt.
3) How to convert all text to black? I have some files that begin with gray text but I would like to take a whole document, scroll through each text and convert them all to black.
2) How to select everything and transform-scale? I would like to know how to scale with and without strokes and effects in script.
4) How to select everything and center it both horizontally and vertically?
6) How to insert the file name without extension and put into bottom right corner?
7) How to embed an unopened file and put into bottom left corner?
8) How to add a stroke of 1 px to inside edge of document?
Thanks for any help you can give.

This is probably NOT the fastest of methods of dealing with text but should be the easiest to understand… Should get you started.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
// Get a swatches color object by name
var myColor = swatches.getByName('Black').color;
// Get a text font object by name
var myFont = textFonts.getByName('Helvetica');
// Loop thru stories
for (var i = 0; i < stories.length; i++) {
// Then loop thru characters
for (var j = 0; j < stories[i].characters.length; j++) {
// Change character Attributes
stories[i].characters[j].characterAttributes.size = 6;
stories[i].characters[j].characterAttributes.fillColor = myColor;
stories[i].characters[j].characterAttributes.textFont = myFont;
