Script to find name of swatch pattern of selected item

I'm confused on the code to find the name of swatch pattern of selected item. As an example, the following code works to find the name of a selected item.
var newItem;
var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
for ( i = 0; i < docSelected.length; i++ ) {
var swatchRefName=docSelected[i].name;
alert(swatchRefName);
else {
alert( "Please select one or more art objects" );
To find the swatch name, my idea would be to change
var swatchRefName=docSelected[i].swatch.name;
obviously this doesn't work or many other versions I've tried, Can any one help? Thank You.

Hi Basva,
There might be an easier way, but this should work:
foreach($item in $list.Items)
$minor = 0
$major = 0
foreach($version in $item.Versions)
if($version.Level -eq "Draft")
$minor += 1
else #Assume Level must be Published
$major += 1
#The variables $minor and $major will now hold
#the correct number of versions for this item

A script to create a new folder and place selected items into it?

I'd like to select a few items and have either an Apple script / contextual menu automatically create a new folder and place the selected items inside it.
I have many, many to do—which is why I wanted to know if there is a script or automator or contextual menu thing available. Or if not, how can I create one?
Can that be done? Thank you!

Thank you for your help. Now I just want to expand on this a bit. To use the Applescript you have supplied me, how do I tell it to name the folder other than by date, and where to put it?
Let me say, preferably, is it possible to make an action like this right-clickable? Instead of having to pick a script. Anything that slows this process down means I might as well do it all by hand. What I'd really love to do is this:
Select a number of items. Right click to an action saying "create a new folder and put this items in it. Name the folder with the first item's name". Very simple and quick.
Could this be accomplished? Through Automator? or something that can appear in the contextual menu? Folder actions?
I'm just getting started with using these tools.

A Script to Find and Replace Layer Names

Are there any scripts to find and replace layer names?
There is an excellent script available for Photoshop which allows you to not only replace words in layer names, but also insert words as Prefixes, Suffixes and Sequential Numbers.
The illustrator version of this script only allows sequential numbering: It doesn't offer find and replacing of words.
Ideally, it would be great if there was something that could do multiple find and replaces in one go:
(e.g.
You have layers like this Car, Dog, Bat
You enter: car(Option1), dog(Option2), Bat(Option3)
Your layers then become: Option1, Option2, Option3).

big_smile, that's a very good start! Step 1 of Learning How To Script is indeed, adjusting an existing simple script to make it do more complicated things. (And usually then "break something", which is also a required part of the process.)
You are correct in your observation this is repetitive stuff. For one or two different items that wouldn't be a problem, but in longer lists you soon get lost.
The usual way of working with find-change lists is to build an array:
var layernames = [
[ 'FHairBowlBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy1' ],
[ 'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy2' ],
[ 'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy3' ],
The general idea is to loop over all names, check if the current layer name is "layernames[i][0]" (the left column) and if so, rename it to "layernames[i][1]" (the right column). If you know how to write a loop in Javascript, then you can implement this right away.
However ..
A more advanced way to do this doesn't even need loop to over all layernames -- instead you can immediately "get" the correct name per layer! It's magic! Almost!
The trick is to use a Javascript object instead of an array. Javascript objects are nothing special; Illustrator's 'layers' is an array of objects, and each object "layer" has a property "name", whose value you can read and set. What I do here is create a new object, where the "name" part is the original layer name and its value is the new layer name. All you need to check for per each layer is if there is a property 'object.originalLayerName', and if so, assign its value to that layer name.
This looks a bit like the array above, except that (1) you use {..} instead of [..] to create an object, and (2) you add "name:value" pairs instead of "value" only (actually, the 'name' of a value in an array is simply its number).
So this is what it looks like:
// JavaScript Document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// name indexed object
var layernames = {
'FHairBowlBoy *Hair':'Hairboy1',
'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair':'Hairboy2',
'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair':'Hairboy3'
// loop through all layers
for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++)
//Set up Variable to access layer name
var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
if (layernames[currentLayer.name])
currentLayer.name = layernames[currentLayer.name];
Enjoy!

Script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Looking for script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Are you just looking to find if any two files underneath a folder have the same name?
If you just want to know that a file named "whatever" exists in two folders, that's not too difficult, but you probably want to know the full path names.
Here's one attempt:
$ perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(\&w, "."); while (($n,$p)=each %file) {if(@{$p}>1){print join(" ",@{$p})}} sub w{push @{$file{$_}},$File::Find::name;}'That will print the pathnames on the same line of any files with the same name that appear anywhere underneath your current directory.
It's a bit long for a "one-liner", but functional.

Recording Action for Swatch Pattern creation

Hi !
I'd like to record an action in Illustrator CS6 for adding a swatch pattern but I have a problem for specifying options.
Here is what I do :
Open a document containing (for instance) a rectangle filled with what will become my new swatch pattern.
Go in Window > Actions. Add new action, name it and start record.
Select All
In Action window menu, select "Insert menu Item"
Go to Object > Pattern > Make
This is all fine at that point. The swatch is created and I can find it in the swatches window. The problem is I'd like to record a change in the "Pattern Options" window (changing default Copies from 5x5 to 1x1).
I can't record this last action.
Would anybody have an idea on how to do this ? If it's not possible via actions, is it possible via js scripting ?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Intrestingly enough when I record the Action in CC the Action looks like this:
Then I quit Illustrator CC and launch again and the Action no longer works. Here is what the Action looks like in the Actions Panel after quiting Illustrator and launching it again:
The Select All Unused goes away. Curiouser and curiouser.

Script to find duplicate index and how can we tell if an index is REALLY a duplicate?

Does any one have script to find duplicate index? and how can we tell if an index is REALLY a duplicate?
Rahul

One more written by Itzik Ben-Gan
The first query finds exact matches. The indexes must have
the same key columns in the same order, and the same included columns but in any order.
These indexes are sure targets for elimination. The only caution would be to check for index hints.
-- exact duplicates
with indexcols as
select object_id as id, index_id as indid, name,
(select case keyno when 0 then NULL else colid end as [data()]
from sys.sysindexkeys as k
where k.id = i.object_id
and k.indid = i.index_id
order by keyno, colid
for xml path('')) as cols,
(select case keyno when 0 then colid else NULL end as [data()]
from sys.sysindexkeys as k
where k.id = i.object_id
and k.indid = i.index_id
order by colid
for xml path('')) as inc
from sys.indexes as i
select
object_schema_name(c1.id) + '.' + object_name(c1.id) as 'table',
c1.name as 'index',
c2.name as 'exactduplicate'
from indexcols as c1
join indexcols as c2
on c1.id = c2.id
and c1.indid < c2.indid
and c1.cols = c2.cols
and c1.inc = c2.inc;
The second variation of this query finds partial, or duplicate, indexes
that share leading key columns, e.g. Ix1(col1, col2, col3) and Ix2(col1, col2)
would be considered duplicate indexes. This query only examines key columns and does not consider included columns.
These types of indexes are probable dead indexes walking.
-- Overlapping indxes
with indexcols as
select object_id as id, index_id as indid, name,
(select case keyno when 0 then NULL else colid end as [data()]
from sys.sysindexkeys as k
where k.id = i.object_id
and k.indid = i.index_id
order by keyno, colid
for xml path('')) as cols
from sys.indexes as i
select
object_schema_name(c1.id) + '.' + object_name(c1.id) as 'table',
c1.name as 'index',
c2.name as 'partialduplicate'
from indexcols as c1
join indexcols as c2
on c1.id = c2.id
and c1.indid < c2.indid
and (c1.cols like c2.cols + '%'
or c2.cols like c1.cols + '%') ;
Be careful when dropping a partial duplicate index if the two indexes differ greatly in width.
For example, if Ix1 is a very wide index with 12 columns, and Ix2 is a narrow two-column index
that shares the first two columns, you may want to leave Ix2 as a faster, tighter, narrower index.

PS Script to find the list of users and the groups in a Workgroup server

Hi There, could you please explain on how to get a complete list of local users and local groups in a "Workgroup" server to which they belong to using Powershell. I'm able to get the users list but couldn't find any help in finding
the script to find to which localgroup the user belong to. Anticipating your response. Also let me know the cmdlet for Win2k3 servers to find the same.

Here's some code from David Pham (don't remember wher I fund this code):

Script to find out that users do not have inheritable permission checked

Hi all,
I just check our AD (windows 2003 R2) and some users have "allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects. include these with entries expilitly defined here" checked if I open active directory
users and computers console and highlight this user and go to properties and select security and click advanced). some users do not have ""allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects. " checked.
Is there a way to script to find out which users do not have "allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects. .." checked?
Thank you for your help.

There are several ways to use ADO in a VBScript program. The alternative below uses an ADO command object, so we can specify a "Page Size". This overcomes the 1000 (or 1500) limit on records returned, as it turns on paging. I have also modified
the script for comma delimited output. This script should be run at a command prompt so the output can be redirected to a text file. For example:
cscript //nologo FindUsers.vbs > report.csv
The modified script follows:
Option Explicit
Dim adoCommand, adoConnection, strBase, strFilter, strAttributes
Dim objRootDSE, strDNSDomain, strQuery, adoRecordset, strNTName, strDN
Dim objUser, objSecurityDescriptor, intNTSecDescCntrl, strInheritable
Const SE_DACL_PROTECTED = &H1000
' Setup ADO objects.
Set adoCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set adoConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
adoConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set adoCommand.ActiveConnection = adoConnection
' Search entire Active Directory domain.
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
strBase = "<LDAP://" & strDNSDomain & ">"
' Filter on user objects.
strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))"
' Comma delimited list of attribute values to retrieve.
strAttributes = "distinguishedName,sAMAccountName"
' Construct the LDAP syntax query.
strQuery = strBase & ";" & strFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree"
adoCommand.CommandText = strQuery
adoCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 500
adoCommand.Properties("Timeout") = 30
adoCommand.Properties("Cache Results") = False
' Run the query.
Set adoRecordset = adoCommand.Execute
' Enumerate the resulting recordset.
' Write a header line.
Wscript.Echo """NT Name"",""Distinguished Name"",""Allow inheritable permissions"""
Do Until adoRecordset.EOF
' Retrieve values.
strNTName = adoRecordset.Fields("sAMAccountName").Value
strDN = adoRecordset.Fields("distinguishedName").Value
strDN = Replace(strDN, "/", "\/")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN)
Set objSecurityDescriptor = objUser.Get("ntSecurityDescriptor")
intNtSecDescCntrl = objSecurityDescriptor.Control
If (intNtSecDescCntrl And SE_DACL_PROTECTED) <> 0 Then
strInheritable = "Disabled"
Else
strInheritable = "Enabled"
End If
Wscript.Echo """" & strNTName & """,""" & strDN & """," & strInheritable
' Move to the next record in the recordset.
adoRecordset.MoveNext
Loop
' Clean up.
adoRecordset.Close

Script to find all mailboxes a user can access

I am looking for a script to find all mailboxes to which one user has access to. I have used:
get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | get-folderpermission -user username > file.csv
The problem with this is the amount of mailboxes, powershell returns:
Sending data to a remote command failed with the following error message: The total data received from the remote clien
t exceeded allowed maximum. Allowed maximum is 524288000. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting
The problem is the amount of data. Is there a way to do this by database, by servers, skimmed down, etc?
Thanks

Hi,
The following command can list all mailboxes which the specific user Bob has full access permissions, please try it:
Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database01" -ResultSize unlimited | Foreach {Get-MailboxPermission -Identity $_.Name -User Bob}

Script with find and ex

i want to run a utility from the terminal for all the files in a directory. The utility has an input file name and output file name as parameters. The filenames have spaces and the utility is not taking the names. Can someone help me with a script where i can do the following
find . -name *.opus
for each of the files found above I need to run this command
opusdec "name of the file form above find" "name of the file from above find with an extention wav"
I wrote this script but it is not working
ListOfFiles=`find . -name *.opus
for i in $ListOfFiles
do
    optfile="${i}.wav"
    ./opusdec $i outfile
done
thanks for your help.

Looks like you're missing a backtick
     Change ListOfFiles=`find . -name *.opus to ListOfFiles=`find . -name *.opus`
$() is preferred. Try
     ListOfFiles=$(find . -name *.opus)

How to find name of report if I know name of instance and location of instance in Output File Store

Hello all,
can somebody help me to find name of the report if I know name of report instance and also location of instance in Output File Store. It should be done via Query Builder.
It is ...rpt file as output from Crystal Reports. I tried few commands in Query Builder but usually they finished with timeout error.
Could you help me and send specific command? Or way how to change timeout of Query Builder?
Thanks.
matus

Hello all,
We finally found solution.
We knew that file is located on path .../Output/a_145/009/002/133521/~ce10c.....9332.rtf
This file has more than 2 GB. We tried to find which report is related and provide necessary actions.
As I mentioned we still failed due to timeout error - There was an error retrieving data from the server: CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes.
So we tried to use our testing environment. We started there QueryBuilder and there we successfully tested that we found details about files from FileStore /like Name of the report in Launch Pad, CUID, ...
SELECT SI_NAME, SI_CUID, SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/a_148/020/000/5268/'
or
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/ a_148/020/000/5268/'

Find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs

Hi All, I have researched this subject, i.e., to find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs, but found no solution. Could someone suggest a solution to this? Thanks.

Hi,
Certainly! The Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW includes set of LabVIEW libraries (llb) with VIs that make calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface (API) for managing and controlling windows (minimize, maximize, move, resize, rename, close, and so on) including task list with names of windows application running. The Readme.doc contains information on running these VIs.
Attached below is a zipped file with a VI that list the names of all opened windows.

Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?
For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.
Inside this hard drive has folders named as below
1-1000
1001-2000
2001-3000
3001-4000
If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.
