Select a range of files to delete

How can I select a range of files to delete? I have ten files I want to delete. Do I have to select each one individually?

If it is in Finder and they are listed one after the other in a continuous fashion, select the first file, hold the shift key and select the last file. Then delete.
If on the Desktop you can choose them by using your mouse pointer to draw a square around them, that will selct all.

1) Select a range of files in Finder; and 2) Cut files!

Two questions:
1) Why is it not possible to select a range of files in Thumbnail view in the Finder while pressing Shift...works fine in the List view? Makes no sense at all!
2) Why is it not possible to cut files in the finder using "CMD X" or "Cut" ... I can only copy or drag an drop? That ***** bigtime!

1) Not really, what I want to do is select the first file then press shift and then select the last file of the range. Usually this should select all the files between the first and the last in the range (and that actually happens in the list view) ...but NOT in the stupid Thumbnail view (which I need to organize my pictures).

Keyboard won't select range of files, except...

Some time ago, I discovered a problem: When I highlight a file in Finder, then highlight another file while holding down the Shift key, none of the files in between are highlighted. In other words, I can't select a range of files for deleting or modifying.
I THINK I used to be able to do this, though I can't remember for sure. But my hunch is that this problem started after I upgraded to Leopard, which is otherwise working great.
Here's where it gets strange: If I type a word into Spotlight, click "Show All," then use the Shift key to select a range of files in the "Searching this Mac" window that opens, it DOES work. I've tried it with both the keyboard built into my MacBook Pro and the Kensington keyboard I generally use, with the same results.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how I can troubleshoot it? Thanks.

Paul,
"I wonder why the documentation suggests the shift-click method."
It does work in the timeline and clip viewer though.
I don't know what to say about the documentation, but the behavior in the clip pane does make more sense if you think of clips there as being more like icons on your desktop.
They're not necessarily in any particular order or sequence. Sure, if you've just imported from your camera, they will be, but after a while I find my clip pane becomes sort of a random jumble of things, not unlike icons strewn about on the desktop.

Selecting a range of data from a file

Is it possible to only display a selected range of data from a binary file? I can read in my binary files but I would like to only send data within a user defineable range to the data portal for viewing. This range may be over multiple binary files also. I can concatenate these files already but I need to select a range to insert into the data portal.
Thanks,
AJL

OK AJL,
This sounds good. It's convenient to have the start and stop time of each segment file in the name of that file. By the way, you want to check that in the DataPlugin and "Call RaiseError()" if the data file is not named that way, otherwise you will try to read DIAdem *.DAT files with your custom DataPlugin. DIAdem will try each DataPlugin that is registered with the file's extension (i.e. *.DAT) one after the other, until one of them does not give an error. So you should always check for some identifying characteristic in your data file and "Call RaiseError()" if you don't find it, in order to abort DIAdem using that DataPlugin for files it was never intended for.
Now to your point. How do you know which series of segment files to read from? Does your VBScript ask the user to select a particular directory that contains all these segment files? I'm going to assume so. My recommendation is that your VBScript also create a time slice configuration file in that directory that contains the information about the time slice you want to read in (start and stop times). Then your DataPlugin can look for that file name in the directory passed to it-- if it finds none it will just load the file path it was passed outright, but if it does find the time slice file it will load any and all *.DAT files in that same directory which correspond to that time slice. This includes loading only parts of one or more of the existing binary files.
It is straightforward enough to pick out the section of the binary file you want to load with the DataPlugin, once you know the time slice information inside the DataPlugin's callback. Use the File.Position property to move the file cursor to the position of the first data point in the time slice, and use the Block.BlockLength property to specify the number of values to read in each of the channels from that starting point (to exclude the values after the desired time slice). I assume that your binary data is stored interleaved and that you are using DirectAccessChannels to read the values in your DataPlugin.
Finally, for time slices that span multiple segment files, you will need to load these to separate groups in the Data Portal with the DataPlugin. Then the VBScript can consolidate these channels into long concatenated channels in a new group and delete the temporary segmented groups. In a future version of DIAdem the DataPlugin API will have the ability to do this mapping for you, but not yet. I also have VBScripts that do this concatenation already-- you can download them from www.ni.com/support/diasupp. They're designed for concatenating channels from multiple ASCII/Excel/DAT files.
Let me know what else you need,

File Count with selected date range

Hi,
Our requirement is to get the file count with selected date by the user from two sharepoint date time controls i.e. dtp1 and dtp2 into the data table. I am able to get the file count of specific folder from Pages library through below code. Now need to get
the selected date range from two date time picker controls and check with the item created by is within the date range. If yes I need to get the file count.
So please share your ideas/thoughts to do the same.
SPList list =
wikiweb.Lists["Pages"];
                    SPFolderCollection oFolders
= list.RootFolder.SubFolders["foldername"].SubFolders;
                    DataTable dt
= new DataTable();
                    dt.Columns.Add("Column1");
                    DataRow dr;
                    if (oFolders.Count
> 0)
                        foreach (SPFolder oFolder in oFolders)
if (!oFolder.Name.Equals("Forms"))
                                dr
= dt.NewRow();
dr["Column1"] = oFolder.ItemCount.ToString();
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
Regards,
Sudheer
Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

Hi,
I have modified the code as below
if((DateTime)(oFolder.Item.File.TimeCreated>dtFromDate.SelectedDate)&&(DateTime)(oFolder.Item.File.TimeCreated<dtToDate.SelectedDate))
But still it is throwing the error.
Please share your ideas on the same.

Trouble printing selected page range as handout

I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I have this issue with my printer also
my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.

How do I select a range of rows from an internal table in the debugger?

Hi,
I have a case where I wanted to delete a range of rows (several thousand) from an internal table using the debugger.
It seems that rows can only be selected one at a time by selecting (clicking) on the far left side of the row.
This is cumbersome, if not impossible when wishing to delete several thousand rows.
Other tools, such as Excel for example, allow for selecting a range of rows by selecting the first row and then holding the SHIFT key and selecting the last row and all rows in between will be selected.
I can't seem to find the combination of keys that will allow this in the table (or structure) tab of the debugger.
Is it possible to select a range of rows without having to select each row one at a time?
Thanks for your help,
Andy

While it's a Table Control and should/could have a button to select all fields (or visible fields)...I don't think we can do it right now...I know it's a pain to select each row one at a time...but I don't we have any more options...
Greetings,

Is it possible to read/write to text file without deleting it?

I know how to read from a text file and how to write to a text file. The problem that i have is i need to use a text file to store data for my application to read and also for my application to write. I would like it if i could write two programs really, one reads, the other is used to update the text file. This file is a list of verbs. I thought about using databases but i couldn't get them to work. I downloaded MySQL server 5.0 and installed it. I then downloaded the driver from http://www.mysql.com/products/driver and ran the auto installer. it said everything worked out perfectly but when i try these lines:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
I get a SQLException that says no suitible driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
( I thought this driver came with the JDK but i guess not, i just read about it in a java book)
I get a ClassNotFoundException
that just says sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
So yeah, SQL is pretty much not working. I need a solution to my problem, either by using text files, or a different type of database. I heard you could use excel to create a database but i have no idea how and i hear microsoft access could also do this, however i don't have microsoft access and i don't intend on paying for it. So, here are my questions:
1st, is there a tutorial on using excel databases in java programs
(if not)
2nd is there a way to read/write/update a text file without deleting it?
(if not)
3rd is there a way to get SQL working, i have windows vista this could be the problem
(if not)
4th what could i do to store information on the hd for reading and modifying later?
thanks, lateralus

A database might be overkill just for a list of words.
Thoughts:
<ul>
<li>What is the extent of your "file updating"? If you are just appending to the file, opening it in append mode will keep the file from being clobbered.</li>
<li>Otherwise, why not create new files instead of editting them? The file names could include a version number or timestamp, allowing the reader to select the newest one.
</li>
</ul>

Issue with .cp file being deleted automatically!

My content team has complained about entire .cp files being
deleted without them deleting it and not being in their recycle
folder etc (3 different complaints). They couldn’t find them
anywhere, including the recent project list in the captivate
dashboard when you first open it. I was skeptical when they told me
this until this evening when it happened to me. This is a HUGE
issue, especially considering I have spent 10hrs on this file and
just published it to production and now it needs to be redone.
I checked with my developers to confirm it was the same
circumstances as mine and it is. It seems to occur if you are
closing a project and while it is closing, if you happen to be in
Windows Explorer with the closing .cp file name highlighted in the
folder. It disappears! I watched it with my own eyes. I checked my
recycle bin and it is not there. I checked the recent project pane
and it is not available for me to select.
Has anyone else seen this? If you haven’t, make sure
you do not do the above to make it happen!

I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore from backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup. Will it go back if I restore?

No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

My G-drive slim is full and is deleting oldest files. How can I choose which files to delete?

My g-drive slim is full and deleting old files. How can I select files to delete?
What about deleting from "new" on the desk-top, which I assume is the hard drive.

Select a range of cells?

How do I select a range of cells to, say, copy and paste? In Excel I highlighted the cell and at the bottom right corner I clicked on a dark cross and dragged it to the last cell I wanted to highlight. How do I do this in Numbers.? I am in the process of convertin MS Word and Excel files to Pages and Numbers. All comments welcome.

Select a range of data

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how to do to select a range of data (for example on a force/time graph during a jump landing (parable), from a certain value to another) to register it on a special file? I tried the module "separate" or "cut out" but I don't think they will be useful when you don't know when will appear the specifical value you're looking for...
Is it also possible in Dasylab to know the director coefficient of this type of curve (quite linear...)?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Perhaps...
Select the values in a block (y values) at given positions (y values).
Calculate the differences, and calculate the quotient.
