Seeking a Guru to count number of tasks (apple script).

I came across a post that describes how to get a count of events in ical, and am wondering if there is a Guru who knows how to get the total for the number of reminders (tasks)? This is the code to get the events.
set myText to "Count of events in iCal's calendars." & return
tell application "iCal"
repeat with myCal in calendars
set myText to myText & return & (name of myCal) & ": " & (count events of myCal)
end repeat
end tell
display dialog myText

Hi,
I believe that is my script from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2466525 . I'm not sure why you didn't include the first line which would have confirmed this.
Try:
-- John Maisey -- www.nhoj.co.uk -- 13 August 2011
set myText to "Count of Todos in iCal's calendars." & return
tell application "iCal"
          repeat with myCal in calendars
                    set myText to myText & return & (name of myCal) & ": " & (count todos of myCal)
          end repeat
end tell
display dialog myText
Best wishes

How to count number of edges using PXIe-6363 Counters

Hello,
I am trying to count number of edges in a test signal in a 50 ms duration. I am using PXIe-6363 card and connecting the test signal to CTR 0 SRC (PFI 8). Is it a correct connection? What else do I need hardware-wise to make a correct set up for this application?
Thanks
Jeet
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jeet,
When you say interrupt signal, do you mean a pulse that will pause your counter task? If that is the case, and you want to pause your task with a digital pulse, you need to use the DAQmx Trigger Property Node and set that to Pause, Trigger Type. As you said, you can connect that signal coming from the chip to any PFI line and then set that line as the source of the property node.
There is an example that you can use that does exactly what I just described. This example is called Count Digital Events-Pause Trig.vi, and you can find it by going to Help>Find Examples..., then on the NI Example Finder window go to the Browse tab and navigate in the folders to Hardware Input and Outpout\DAQmx\Counter Measurements\Count Digital Events.

Submit submit a large number of task to a thread pool (more than 10,000)

i want to submit a large number of task to a thread pool (more than 10,000).
Since a thread pool take runnable as input i have to create as many objects of Runnable as the number of task, but since the number of task is very large it causes the memory overflow and my application crashes.
Can you suggest me some way to overcome this problem?

System.out.println("Cycle: " + i);
for(MyCustomRunnable runnable : runnables)Change the name of you Runnable as it clearly does much more than that. Typically a Runnable is executed once and does not create resources in its constructor nor have a cleanup method.
futures.addElement((Future<String>) pool.submit(runnable));Again, it unclear why you would use a vector rather than a list here.

try

catch (InterruptedException ex)

ex.printStackTrace();
catch (ExecutionException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();If you are generating a load test you may want to record this kind of failure. e.g. count them.
futures.clear();
try
Thread.sleep(60000);Why do you sleep even if you have been interrupted? For better timing, you should sleep, before check if you futures have finished.
catch(InterruptedException e)
searching = false;again does nothing.
System.out.println("Thread pool terminated..................");
//return;remove this comment. its dangerous.
break;why do you have two way of breaking the loop. why not interrupted = true here.
searching = false;
System.out.println("Shut downing pool");
pool.shutdownNow();
try
for(MyCustomRunnable runnable : runnables)
runnable.close(); //release resources associated with it.
catch(IOException e)put the try/catch inside the loop. You may want to ignore the exception but if one fails, the rest of the resources won't get cleaned up.
The above code serve the task infinitely untill it is terminated by user.
i had created a large number of runnables and future objects and they remain in memory until
user terminates the operation might be the cause of the memory overflow.It could be the size of the resources each runnable holds. Have you tried increasing your maximum memory? e.g. -Xmx512m

Counting number of people by image capturing

Hi!
i am an university student, recently i have received a image processing research project. my tutor ask me to count number of people by capturing the image. It is a huge task for me. Because human contour variation is huge, and difficult to have standard shape. i still have no idea in this field. Does anybody has ideas or resources for this??
Pls help!!!
Thanx alot

Hi iamcoconut,
You can use the pattern matching functions in IMAQ Vision to search for complex images, such as a set of eyes, etc. However, if you are going to have images of people from different angles, the best method to find the people is to use a Static Background type analysis. This analysis takes an image of the background without people in it and then acquires an image of the same background with people in it. Performing a simple subtract and then separating the images, removing particles, etc. isolates your people so that they may be "counted."

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?
Hi,
I am trying to count "Number of Completed Line Items in Purchase Order Document" for my Key Figure ZPO_CNT.
Purchase Order document = ZEBELN
Line Item = ZEBELP.
I need to find and count if the Line Item has been received in the past 6 months from today and similarly in the past 12 months.
I have "Delivery Completed" field, ELIKZ.
So, based on this would I be able to calculate it in Query Designer?
If so, Please let me know how

Hello Deva
If youe want to calculate the completed line item for last 6 or 12 month then i think u will be displaying the query data for these montrhs...create a customer exit to give you date range and restric it in filter area....
Now Choose any of the below option
1. I would suggest to implement an additional key figure "counter" in cube and fill values with one for which delivery is completed.
Now use calculated key figure in Query Designer based on logic
IF counter = 1 THEN counter ELSE 0
OR
2. create a formula variable based on ELIKZ and use replacement path variable, it will display you no. of docs for which delivery is completed....
Award points if it solves your problem
Revert back in case of further assistance...

how can I solve this problem ?

Hi
Instead of using counter in a loop use describe statement.
Describe it_sflight.
the no of rows will get populated in the system variable sy-tfill.
DATA: it_sflight TYPE TABLE OF Sflight WITH HEADER LINE .
DATA counter TYPE i VALUE 0.
start-of-SELECTION.
SELECT-OPTIONS: carID for it_sflight-carrid.
SELECT-OPTIONS: connID for it_sflight-connid.
SELECT * FROM Sflight INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_sflight
WHERE carrid IN carID and connID IN connid.
DESCRIBE TABLE it_sflight.
loop at it_sflight .
counter = counter + 1 .
write: /5 it_sflight-carrid,sy-vline,
           30 it_sflight-connid,sy-vline,

How to count number of ones in table

Hello,
i created one table 16x32 each cell is updating 1 byte of data,how to count number of one in all cell,and is it right way to calculate check sum??
thank you

The simplest way is to call GetTableCellRangeValues with VAL_ENTIRE_TABLE as the range, next summing array elements.
But I don't understand your comment on checksum, so this may not be the more correct method for your actual needs: can you explain what do you mean?

URGENT HELP NEEDED: counting number of particles from image

this image on the left is showing particles
hello i want to create a small VI that can count number of particles from a image that i load up. please see the attached image of particles and the VI printshot.
I have used the tutorial "counting number of particles" but still the above VI does not work. it shows the number of particles = 1.. I do not know why it is doing so??
I am not an expert in Labview so please can someone tell me where the problem is. sorry i could not attach the VI file itself but i have given an image of it..
after anyone has solved this problem, i have to create a live system that will get live images from the camera - four frames every sec and the above VI has to count the
number of particles for each frame and output to the user?? is this possible can anyone do it for me???
p.s. in the above VI i read the image from file and count the number of particles. i do not do it to the binary image becuase the binary image is only a black screen
when i run it
thankyou

Hi Farhan,
Vision Assistant would be the best option to create some steps which you can then export to LabVIEW. You should try using the IMAQ Find Circles.vi. The attached image helps you find the number of circles of an image acquired from a camera. I have used the IMAQdx VIs in this example.

What is a best practice for counting number of payments in Payroll Run?

I'm trying to get a feel for what people are using as a means for counting number of payments being created during a payroll run. I would like to get a total number of checks, direct deposits, wires and zero net checks. My initial thought is to use the Pre-DME number "Selected and Evaluated Persons". This number seems to always match the number of persons "Selected" and "Evaluated" in posting to FI/CO.
Since many companies are restricting use of SE16 and access to many of the BT tables is locked down, I would like to use something that the end user has access to and can easily use. I don't believe the spools from RFFOUS_C and T are appropriate since it would have overflow pages (2 page REM Statements) in that number and thus would not be an accurate reflection of total number of payments.
I would appreciate your insight and thoughts on this topic.
Thanks!

Hello Jennie,
This is what we do every payroll:
1. After running live payroll and before exiting our users run wage type reporter /559 to get the payroll net pay. They also run Postings to FICO simulation run to check payroll net pay GL account. This match all the time. So this is the first pass.
2. They finish all subsequent activities in PRD run upto RFFOUS_T.
3. We have developed a custom report which almost looks like REGUH which gives the net pay details by every payment method and amount to be deposited or paid. We match this report from the output we received from step 1.
4. Run postings to FICO live and check the payroll net pay GL account for final validation.
The steps might sound tedious but of a great use.

displays the no of records in tha internal table
or if u want to write logic.
data:

loop at itab.
w_count = w_count + 1.
endloop.
write: / w_count.
displays the no of records.

How to count number of rows in table

can I get number of row in table except Count(*) in pl/sql
is there any other way

Also posted and answered here
how to count number of rows in table
count(*) will be the fastest way. It is only slow if the table has a vast number of rows, in which case why do you need to know the tables has 73552436467721 rows and not 73552436467737 rows. It doesn't seem to be much use. Either that or you are counting them a lot, which again seems rather pointless.

Count number of rows in table

Hi!
1. How can you through ABAP and select statements count the number of rows in one table?
2. I want to read all rows from one table to an internal table. Can this be done dynamically or do I first have to count the number of rows in the table and then declare an internal table with the number of rows counted.
regards
Baran

HI,
No you don't have to count number of rows first, Internal table size will increase dynamically. you have to declare this with initial size like this.
<b>data: itab type standard table of bkpf initial size 0.
SELECT * FROM bkpf into table itab.</b>
All values from bkpf will be inserted into table internal table itab.
