Searching and Accessing Information of Files

I have Windows XP and I use NetBeans. I was wondering how I can access the information of a file.
I need my program to search for a file in my computer for a file that was Last Modified in a certain date... So... is there a way to access this feature of the file?
Basically:
1 How do I search files in my computer.
2 How do I access the information about the file (ie, date created, date modified, date accessed, read-only, description, etc)
Thanks,
Nitau

This tutorial will provide most of what you want:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
Then study the API documentation for the methods the File class makes available. This class allows you to access the most common directory and file information.

Script to search and relink linked image files that were moved?

Good afternoon
My indesign product catalog has links with a lot of different folders around in my hard disk, not a single folder. And to keep my catalog up to date I must package it.
When I move my linked files in my computer because I change the folder structure or do some cleaning, my indd loses track of its linked files. Currently I need to relink one by one.
Therefore I would like to find a script which would scan the hard disk with the all broken links in mind to detect their new location and relink. Yes I am a lazy person.
Thanks for any clue,

Thanks so much! I will try soonest.
How does your script react in the unlikely case of duplicates?

Subject: Script to search and relink linked image files that were moved?
At least your honest about your laziness.... Here's your reward:
Just a hint, don't select root of your volume, it will loop through every folder in existence, but key to this script is, if you know the general location, select into that folder hierarchy and the script will test for a relative path, otherwise, come back in a few days, and it will be finished.

Search and Replace text in file using PowerShell

I want to schedule a script in PowerShell to search a directory for an XML file for a particular text string and replace it with a different text string and then save the file with the same name, the name of the file
will change each time the script is run on a daily basis. There will only be one XML file in the location when the scheduled script is run.
I have never used PowerShell but am familiar with batch file commands, can anyone please help!!

Problems with classpath and accessing a specific file

I'm currently running an application using NetBeans (I know this is the Sun Forum but maybe someone can help). For those who aren't familiar with this IDE, whenever a project is created, a ProjectName folder is also created. Inside that folder are 5 new folders (*build*, dist, nbproject, src and test) as well as 2 new files (*build.xml*, manifest.mf). The dist folder contains the *.jar* file.
Seeing that this is an audio application, I am constantly working with audio files. In the ProjectName folder, I've created a sixth folder (*audiofiles*) were I load and save such audio files. To access a specific audio file, I do the following:
File audioExample = File("audiofiles" + File.separator + "audio.wav");When I run the project from the IDE there doesn't seem to be a problem. However, when I try to run the project by simply double-clicking the *.jar* file in the dist folder, the audio files can't be accessed. In order to be able to access them, I need to change the path:
File audioExample = File("C:\...\ProjectName\audiofiles\audio.wav");This seems to solve the problem temporarily, but if I decide to change to project folder location, I also need to change the path.
QUESTION:
What is the best way to access files so that they are not dependent on where the project folder is located? Do I need to modify the classpath or simply write the path in File(...) in a specific way? If I need to modify the classpath, how can I do so in Netbeans?
Thanks in advance.

DrClap,
Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:
Naturally that depends on where you DO want to load from. Are the files in the classpath? Are they in the current working directory?
Some other directory where you can ask the user to point to? On a different computer?The audio files are located in a created folder in the IDE project folder. I know you mentioned that I should stop thinking about this as an IDE project but I don't know any other way to think about it. I'm kinda new to Java, and the only way I've learned how everything is structured is through the IDE project structure. I'm realizing that this is probably not the best way to go about as it doesn't allow me to have a good understanding of the Java file structure. What changes do I need to make in the way I view my IDE project to make it more into a deployed version?
I'm also having a hard time understanding the classpath concept. I've been under the impression that the classpath was simply the location of the packages and classes of a specific application. How could I check if the audio files are in the classpath?
Thanks in advance.

Search and replace in Muse files

I have a lot of links to my own files in a given web page.
I will be relocating the files and want to know if I can run a search and replace the links with their new urls on the Muse files
I do not want to be manually replacing each link using the Muse add link button. That will take forever.
I will be using a separate search and replace program not anything within Muse
Clear?

Hi J KIrby,
You have the option of 'Find and Replace' in Muse under 'Edit' menu option.
Also, please refer to our release notes page to see what other features have been added to muse in the last update - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC

How to call a jsp file from an servlet and access the jsp file objects??

Hi everybody
I have an jsp file where it contains a vector object with some data and I have a servlet that needs to access this vector object . How can my servlet call for this jsp page and get the vector object. ?
then an applet will be calling this servlet to get some other object created with the data contained within this vector object...so each time Applet ask the servlet for the object the servlet need to call for this jsp page somehow
My main question is the communication servlet-jsp
please if u have any clue I will appreciate it
thanks

Hi
There are several ways to share objects between JSPs/Servlets.
You can share objects by putting them in the request-in which case the objects lifetime is limited by that of the request, Another way is to store them in the session, againg the lifetime is limited by the lifetime of the session. To have objects that have to persistent over the application life-span use the servletContext to store the objects.
Any good tutorial should help you get started. Please see the link below for a tutorial on Servlets/JSPs
Note: Local variables in the JSP cannot be shared with other components as their scope is limited to that particular Page/Servlet.

How do i save and access a csv file on my ipad when filling in a smartform. Currently only option goes to photos

Trying to save a csv file on my ipad so I can auto populate into a SmartForm. It will only allow me to access photos when I hit the import button

search the app store for PDF Writer. I've found a lot that will convert documents to PDF, but none yet that will write within the PDF. One thing you want to avoid are cloud based apps. Any of them that talk about editing on the cloud, etc, aren't going to be as standalone as you want.
It's possible, if you can take your template PDF, turn it into a word document that you can edit, you can then convert that to PDF...kinda a workaround way to do what you want. And apps that convert to PDF are much easier to find

File Server - File size\type search and save results to file

I already have a vb script to do what I want on our file server, but it is very inefficient and slow. I was thinking that a powershell script may be more suitable now but I don't know anything about scripting in PS. So far the vb code that I
have works, and I am not the one who wrote it but I can manipulate it to do what I want it to. The only problem is, when I scan the shared network locations it stops on some files that are password protected and I don't know how to get around it. If
someone else knows of a PS script to go through the file system and get all files of a certain type or size (right now, preferably size) and save the file name, size, path, owner and dates created\modified please point me to it and I can work with that. If
not, could I get some help with the current script that I have to somehow get around the password protected files? They belong in a users' HOME directory so I can't do anything with them. Here is my code:

Accessing Excel through automation is bvery slow no matter what tool you use. Scanning a disk is very slow for all tools.
Since Vista all system have a search service that catalogues all major file itmes like size, extension, name and other attributes. A search of a 1+Tb volume can return in less that a second if you query the search service.
You can easily batch the result into Excel by writ4ing to a CSV and opening in Excel. Use a template to apply formats.
Example. See how fast this returns results.
#The following will find all log files in a system that are larger than 10Mb
$query="SELECT System.ItemName, system.ItemPathDisplay, System.ItemTypeText,System.Size,System.ItemType FROM SystemIndex where system.itemtype='.log' AND system.size > $(10Mb)"
$conn=New-Object -ComObject adodb.connection
$conn.open('Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows";')
$rs=New-Object -ComObject adodb.recordset
$rs.open($query, $conn)
do{
$p=[ordered]@{
Name = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ItemName').Value
Type = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ITemType').Value
Size = $rs.Fields.Item('System.Size').Value
New-Object PsObject -Property $p
$rs.MoveNext()
}Until($rs.EOF)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unix drive mounting and accessing with Receiver File(NFS) Adapter

Hi gurus,
Is it possible to access a mounted directory between a storage(unix) server and PI server, by using the File Adapter in NFS mode to write files to it?
Regards,
Gökhan

Hi,
>>Is it possible to access a mounted directory between a storage(unix) server and PI
why not?
in case your PI is on windows and storage on unix you just need
to have samba installed on your unix machine and you can access
unix with //server/folder/ from PI

I can't check your script right now since I'm not on Mac. I recommend you to use FindChangeByList script for CS4 instead (it works with CS3): http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2080627-12695/FindChangeByListCS4.zip together with Martin Fisher's: http://www.kasyan.ho.com.ua/downloads/RecordFindChange_CS3_Kas.zip
Use this script to record settings from Text and GREP tabs, then copy and paste them into FindChandgeList.txt file.
Or, optionally you can use this script: http://www.kasyan.ho.com.ua/find_change_by_queries.html.

Searching and impotring files

Hi,
Bought an ipod last week and have music files allover my computer, when i first installed itunes it gave me the option to search and import all music files already on my pc but i had to stop the process half way through, is it possible to start it up again?
Thanks

but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails.
If you want to search for a specific word you should use the Find command under the Edit menu and select the proper main folder and choose client approved and equals. Be sure to have also include non indexed files and including subfolders selected. Bridge needs time to index all the files so the first time you use 'include non indexed files' it may take a while.
You could choose to create keywords or labels for approved files, it makes it easier to find and select.
Also be aware that Bridge is not designed to work over a network and/or using a server so this might also causing some problems.

How to create and access a Virtual Host on the J2EE WAS?

Hello, I have searched through the Forums and help.sap.com and found a lot of information on how to set up a Virtual Host on the J2EE server but am having issues with it working.
The goal is to provide a simple virtual host on the J2EE Portal server to host some static image and HTML files. Previously I had stored these files in the standard publicly accessible SAP J2EE folder location /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/serverx/apps/sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples/servlet_jsp/_default/root/. This location is resolved to when using the URL <host>:50000 for example.
The main issue here is that during Portal support pack applications this folder gets wiped out and we have to remember to save off any custom files and folders in this location and replace them.
I would like to create a virtual host to store these static files (i.e., branding-image.jpg, etc...).
I have run through the process of creating the virtual host both using Visual Administrator and <host>:50000/nwa but am not able to get the virtual host name to resolve properly.
The following are the steps that I have taken. Let's assume the standard SAP portal (i.e., xSS, etc...) is running properly on <host>:50000.
1. create virtual host via Visual Administrator/NWA called 'sapwebserver1' by using the Create Host option (takes on the attributes of the 'default' standard virtual host)
2. change the root directory for this virtual server to a custom folder at E:/tmp/mimes (where E:/usr is where the J2EE files are all installed), no start files were set up and nothing else was changed in the new virtual host record, no permissions were changed on the /tmp/mimes folder from whatever the default Windows user permissions are normally set, I am using a local Windows administrator account but I have not seen any reference in the help files or the examples that indicate that any specific permissions updates need to be made on the virtual host root folder
3. restarted the J2EE server as well as the HTTP Provider service
4. before updating the company DNS, I wanted to test this locally on the server and so have updated the server's local HOSTS file with a <host IP address> sapwebserver1 entry
5. from that server I can ping the sapwebserver1 virtual host name and it resolves properly to the machine's physical IP address
According to all of the documentation and examples I have seen I should now be able to (from that server) launch a browser and access the static files in the virtual host by referring to http://sapwebserver1:50000/branding-image.jpg for example. This is not working and the browser just brings up a Cannot display the web page error in IE. By referring to the virtual host name sapwebserver1:50000 it's supposed to hit the J2EE server and based on the host name sapwebserver1 realize that it should resolve to the root directory E:/tmp/mimes. This is not happening. Just as a test I have created a copy of the 'default' virtual host and called it sapwebserver2, updated the local HOSTS file for this entry, and tried to see if that would work like the 'default' host. My expectation was that http://sapwebserver2:50000 would behave the same was as http://<host>:50000 but it too fails to resolve just like the sapwebserver1 virtual host refernce.
Would anyone happen to have any pointers on what to do next? I just want a simple virtual host to be able to serve up some static images and files.
Thanks for any insight or assistance you might be able to provide here.
Graham

This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

GUI Based tool for search and replace using regular expression

Hi,
I have developed this small tool which can be used for search and replace in multiple files using reqular expressions.
Features:
1. Full regular expression
2. GUI based with Highlighted results
3. Preview for replace available
4. Pure Java based.
5. Its like unix sed and grep
Please visit below site for download/more information :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/regexsearchrepl/
Thanks,
Hitesh Viseria

I agree with you, it cannot compete grep/sed/awk combination. I couldnt find anything even close to grep/sed for windows which will also have a preview and most important, free. That is what made me write this tool. I am trying to
improve its performance and more features like history etc.
Any suggestions on additional features are most welcome.

Accessing Excel 2007-file from BO Explorer App

Hello all,
I have a problem when trying to access excel 2007-files in an InfoSpace ( XI 3.1 SP2) from the iPad with the BO Explorer App.
Accessing this file from the Browser is no problem and accessing the same file saved as excel 2003 is also no problem from the IPad.
Anybody an idea what could be the problem? I have to save some files with excel 2007 because number of rows.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christian
Additional hint: Always the following error message appears:
It is not possible to retrieve the facets within the Explore tab.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:Character reference "&#26" is an invalid XML character.
Any idea? Thanks!

I do now see that you are correct: there is a difference between Excel 2007 and Excel 2010. Your particular usage is somewhat unusual and there probably isn't anything you can do, except to recognise that you are a beneficiary
of it (although others may be less fortunate).
The type of protection that you are applying protects the workbook against certain types of change; it does not prevent people opening it, and they do not need a password to open it, so, in a sense, it does not need to be
encrypted. In Excel 2007 (and Excel 2003 before it), the workbook was, nonetheless, encrypted, and in Excel 2010 it isn't.
This change means that someone can remove the protection outside Excel (just by deleting that single line of XML), something that couldn't be done before so it is a loss of security.
I'm a Word person, rather than Excel, and I don't know all the details of the different types of 'protection' that can be applied to Workbooks and Sheets.
I have, however, not seen anything about this before and will ask some Excel friends if they know anything. Beyond that I don't think I can help any more.
Enjoy,
Tony
