Script to remove overrides

Does anyone know of a script that can remove paragraph overrides from text that is selected with the Type tool?
I have many paragraphs that have nested styles. InDesign does not implement the nested style untl I select the paragraph and Alt-click the style in the Paragraph Styles panel to remove the override. After that, the paragraph has the correct formatting.
This is hugely time-consuming because I have to place many such paragraphs in a very long document.
I don't want to remove overrides throughout the whole document, just those paragraphs that are selected. That way, I can place a bunch of text into InDesign, select the text and remove the overrides, before moving it into place on the layout.
If anyone can help, it would be a tremendous relief to me.

Harbs,
Got a chance to try out your script this evening. I'm using InDesign CS5. I saved the script as a plain text file with a .jsx file extention, and put the script into the User folder inside the Scripts folder.
It shows up in the InDesign Scripts panel. I tried using it by selecting a couple of paragraphs with overrides, and then clicking on the script in the Scripts panel. It didn't remove the overrides. These paragraphs have nested styles, so I thought that perhaps I need to remove the "OverrideType.PARAGRAPH_ONLY"
The revised script looks like this:
app.selection[0].clearOverrides;
However, that didn't work either.
What am I doing wrong that the script isn't working for me? I hope that you have a suggestion.

Update Symbol and Symbol Script without removing from Document library

Is there a way in fireworks CS5.1 to update a symbol and the corresponding symbol script without removing it from the document library like it suggests in the below article
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/fireworks/articles/frwcs3_richsymbol_print.html

I have done some more research on this question and there appears to be no way to update a symbol script without removing it from the document library, hopefully this bug will be patched in the near future

Import script to remove zeros in Account field

Dear FDM Experts,
The problem is our source system always extracts 10 characters but we use 7 characters in HFM.
Example, Account 0001201010 (10 characters) must be 1201010 (7 characters).
I want to write an Import Script to remove, if any, all zeros from the left side of the account value at the import stage. We have no Accounts beginning with 0.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Carsten

A simple script that removes older packages from cache dir

Hello all,
I wrote a small bash script that removes packages (from cachedir /var/cache/pacman/pkg), older than the ones available in repositories (eg. if the current version of pacman is 2.6.3, it will remove pacman-2.6.2 from cachedir). It implements the functionality of debian's 'apt-get autoclean'.
Get it from http://www.kegep.tuc.gr/~manolis/archlinux/cleanold.sh.

thanks a lot for sharing this

Problem with a script to remove graphics

Hello,
I have tried to build a javascript to remove all graphics whose extension is not ".EPS" (with "EPS" really in upper cases, as it is for Mathtype equations in Word import).
But It doesn't work and I can't understand why.
Here is the script:
//The script intend to remove all graphics whose extension is not ".EPS"
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myGraphics = myDoc.allGraphics
//Remove graphic if graphic extension is different from ".EPS"
for (var p = 0; p < myGraphics.length; p++) {
    var myImage = myGraphics[p]
    if (CheckExtEps(myImage) != 0){
    myImage.remove ()
//Compare graphic extension with ".EPS" and return myExtValue = 0 if it matches exactly
function CheckExtEps(myImage) {
    var myString = myImage.name
    myExt = myString.substr(myString.lastIndexOf( "." ))
    myExtValue = myExt.localeCompare(".EPS")
    return myExtValue
When I run this script, ALL the graphics are removed, ".EPS" included.
I do have ".EPS" graphics in my document and I expected them not to be removed.
So there is something wrong somewhere, but I don't know what to change.
Any ideas?
By the way, I have a more generic question as a beginner:
I am working with ExtendScript Toolkit. How can I do to check my script step by step?
For exemple, how can I display my variables values as "myString", "myExt", "myExtValue" at each step?
Actually, this script is a step for a bigger script I intend to build to deal with Mathtype equations in Word import.
After not-EPS graphics beeing removed, I wish to relink all remaining equation prewiews to eps in a selected folder, by consecutive order.
But this is a big piece of scripting to swallow for me, so I'm working slowly, step by step.
TIA
Best regards
Nicolas

Hello Ariel
Thank you very much for your help.
1. I added semicolons at the end of lines, but the script result is the same.
2. Running line by line, I could see in the Console where is the problem:
variable "myString" is always undefined.
Well, I have to get more inside my script...
Thank's again
Best regards
Nicolas

Well, I can't see any semicolons in your script. Maybe that's just the
email interface, but there should be semicolons at the ends of lines.
In the ESTK, you can step through a script a line at a time. Just click
on the downwards pointing arrow instead of the "play" arrow. Each time
you click, the script will advance one line. In the Console window
(Windw>Console) you can then type the name of the variable you wish to
examine.

Convenient script to remove missing assemblies/missing webparts and missing set up files

Hi All,
When try to run config wizard after any patch installation it fails to succeed beacuse of either missing assemblies or features or webparts or setup files.
For features, I am using FeatureAdmin tool but for others, does anyone have any working script to remove these orphaned objects?

Here's a technique... use at your own risk and ALWAYS try in DEV first and BACKUP before attempting.

Script to remove row if a cell is blank

Hello,
Im trying to find a script that will remove a row (shifting subsequent rows up) if one of the cells in the row (there are 2 columns) is blank.
Im creating table based docs using datamerge and there are rows with dataheadings (in column 2) and the datavalues (in column 1) for the rows are imported via the merge. Not every heading has a value so I want a script to remove the rows where no value is present.
I have found scripts that work however due to the end text # markers that are left after the merge I think they see the cell as being populated.
Thanks for you help

@Angus – do you need the markers?
If not, do a TEXT Search/Replace and remove them (replace by nothing).
The code you should enter for the search would be:
<FEFF>
Then run your script.

DB script to remove organization

If you have a db script that removes organization and its references and could share I would appreciate it very much. (assuming all users are removed from the organization)
I know this is not recommended.....
Thank you

Perhaps you have a corrupted file?
Try running this and inspecting the output:
Get-Content \\homedir\operator\FLASTNAMEDeviceNames.txt |
ForEach-Object {
Write-Host $_ -fore
$id="na.xx.llp/Users/City/Lastname, Firstname A./ExchangeActiveSyncDevices/$_"
Write-Host $id -fore green -back white
Remove-ActiveSyncDevice -Identity $id -Confirm: $false
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you! Yes, the txt file containing the device name appears to have had some corruption in the form of a hidden character. The "A" wasn't visible but it was there. I'm just glad my script wasn't incorrect.

Script to remove all printers

I'm trying to find a script to remove all current and stale printers on some TS sessions. I've tried a couple of scripts but they all seem to error one way or another. Firstly I've tried
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Printer Where Network = True")
For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
objPrinter.Delete_
Next
But I get an invalid parameters on Line 6 with code 80041008 and source SWbemObjectEx. I've also tried
'Define Variables and Objects.
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Const NETWORK = 22
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer")
For Each objPrinter in colPrinters
If objPrinter.Attributes And NETWORK Then
strPrinter = objPrinter.Name
objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection strPrinter
End If
Next
'Note: Gpupdate command has to be run twice as the ECHO command can't answer more than one question.
'Refresh the USER policies and also answer no to logoff if asked.
Result = WshShell.Run("cmd /c echo n | gpupdate /target:user /force",0,true)
'Refresh the Computer policies and answer no to reboot.
Result = WshShell.Run("cmd /c echo n | gpupdate /target:computer /force",0,true)
'Hand back the errorlevel
Wscript.Quit(Result)
But with this one I get an error on line 16 with 'This network connection does not exist' and code 800708CA and source WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive.
Only solution at the moment I can think of is to just remove them all from the registry but would rather do it user based via script.

hmmmm. The ones set by GPO are fine as they are the ones that are meant to stay it's just that there are a lot of rubbish printers sat on peoples user profiles that are old and non-existent so we just want to wipe all the old and just keep the new

Looking for Help with Active Directory Script to Remove a User from msExchDelegateListLink

I'm struggling to put together an Active Directory Powershell script that will remove a specific user from the msExchDelegateListLink.
It looks like Set-AdUser would do the trick. I would want to remove a user in the format of
{CN=Wood\, Sandy,OU=Networking,OU=IT,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com}
Has anyone succeeded in doing this before?
Orange County District Attorney

I use this:
$user = '<user name>'
$userDN = Get-ADUser $user | select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName
$delegates = Get-ADUser $user -Properties msExchDelegateListBL |
select -ExpandProperty msExchDelegateListBL
foreach ($delegate in $delegates)
Set-ADUser $delegate -Remove @{msExchDelegateListLink = "$UserDN"}
Never quite got around to putting it into a function.

Is there a way to run a script to remove a digital signature and unlock the fields it locked?

I'm creating a sectioned checklist (In LiveCycle Designer ES2 on a Windows 7 OS) covering a process with four sections to be completed/signed by different individuals. The final section is for a separate party that, if he/she approves the completed work, he/she signs the form and locks it down completely, however, if one particular item is wrong, he/she must return the form to the signer of Section 3.
I've worked with not locking the fields in Section 3 when Signer #3 signs the form and using visible and invisible signature forms (If Signer #4 selects a particular option, I reset the related fields in Section 3, hide the original signature, and show a new, empty signature field), however, if the form has to be returned numerous times, this is not a viable option.
I could include instructions for my end users to remove their own signatures, but some may not be very computer-literate, and this could be difficult. Is there a script I could either connect to a button or some way to reset just one section of the form? Or does anyone have a better idea?
Many thanks in advance!
Caroline

Bob,
you could put a virtualizer such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop on the external drive, and install Windows and Windows apps in the virtualizer.

Need a Script for Removing User Profiles in Windows 7

I am in need of a script that will allow me to remotely delete user profiles from multiple computers. I am an IT Admin over around 15-20 computers that are publicly used by many different people each day, and at least once a month we have to go into each
computer individually..my computer, properties, profiles and delete them one by one. This is growing very tedious due to manpower and the number of computers we have to do this on.
I have absolutely zero knowledge in the scripting department so could somebody point me in the right direction on this? I would like to have a script that i can just run once a month or so and say "delete all profiles from computers x y and z that are
over a few months old." Is this possible? Thanks in advance!
