Select by Note using Applescript

I want to know if it's possible using Applescript to select items based on the contents of the Note field of the Attibutes Panel. It's used to select objects within Actions, so it seems like it should be possible.
Unfortunately I'm not very good at scripting and can't seem to figure out the right syntax.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions...
Mike D.

Hey, Mike:
Yes, it's possible to select an item based on the contents of its Note.
every page item whose note contains "testing" -- This would return a list of page items who has "testing" in the note. This includes an item with the word "retesting" so remember to be specific. These are only computers after all… they're not very smart! ;^)
This is doable but remember you can name any and all items on a page and select them based on that parameter. Unless you have a particular reason to use the Note property I would use Name but either way can be worked out.
Cheers,

  • Why my select is not using the index

    Why it is not using the index on configuration_id and state.

    Possibility one: you didn't do an analyze statistics on the table and/or the index after index creation.
    Possibility two: The optimizer has determined that it can return the query result set with fewer I/Os if it does a FTS vs using the index (the optimizer is very keen on I/Os).

  • Time Machine backup disk - accidentally selected Do Not Use

    I had an issue I was trying to correct- I selected the backup volume, to which I had previously backed up to, and choose "Do Not Use." 
    Now, when I choose the "browse other backups" option from the Time Machine menu, it does not show the original back up volume at all.
    I deleted the Time Machine plist file - but, the volume is still not showing up.  It is a TM volume - etc.
    Does anyone know where that excluded volume information may be stored?

    SOLVED:
    I tried a number of things based on various posts.  This is what worked for me:
    On the iMac with the attached TM volume:
    Added the Time Machine volume as a shared folder in System Preferences - Sharing
    Changed permissions for Everyone to Read/Write - I think this would have worked by itself
    On the Macbook Air (whose drive I back up):
    Mounted the Time Machine via the Finder prior to attempting to select it (Note: I did not force mounting via “Connect to Server” - although I can)
    Selected the Time Machine volume from the TM preferences pane
    Backup is working very well - and very fast.  What I don’t know how to determine - which protocol is being used between the Air and iMac. It may be the new SMB version - it is unusually fast.
    Setup:
    TM Volume is on a new iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1
    On the iMac - File Sharing is turned on in System Prefs
    The iMac Sharing Options only has AFP checked - SMB is not checked - however, it shows one user connected - and one is connected under AFP
    The TM Volume is on on an attached Firewire Seagate 3 TB drive - connected via a Thunderbolt firewire adapter - and is daisy changed - it is the second drive - the first is a Seagate too
    The iMac host is connected via Ethernet to a central router
    The Mac Air is connected via Wifi to an Airport Extreme - which is connected to the central router
    The Mac Air is running 10.9.1
    Prior to the TM volume not showing up - this setup worked, at least once, after I updated both systems to 10.9.1
    What had no impact on the solution:
    Changing the iMac Computer Name to pure alphanumeric - no spaces - no special characters, etc.
    Mounting the TM Volume via Connect to Server
    The TM volume was already formatted per requirements - no changes made

  • Can select but not use iPhone 4 WiFi in iOS 4.3.4 & 4.3.5

    After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.4, I could select my WiFi-connection, but it would refuse to use it. The 3G or circle-icon showed instead of WiFi. In the settings, my home WiFi is slected, but it is not used. The 3G keeps showing instead. I tested it using YouTube and the browser and the speed is indeed 3G speed. I upgraded to 4.3.5: still the same problem.
    I went to the settings, chose to ignore my WiFi network. I then re-scanned, chose my WiFi, just to refresh everything. It still didn't work. I restarted my phone, which also didn't solve the problem. Whenever I go to the settings, it shows the selection of my WiFi with the checkmark on the left as if I am actually using it, but it doesn't.

    If you update to iOS 4.3.4 or iOS 4.3.5, you will need to power-off your WiFi-router, wait a couple of seconds and power it back on. Then, your WiFi-connection will work with the iPhone 4. If you don't do that, you will not be able to use WiFi on the iPhone 4.
    Rebooting the iPhone or re-selecting the WiFi-router (even after deleting the connection) will not get the job done. Only by powering off/on your router. Now, it works again.

  • Trouble selecting menu item using AppleScript

    Now that iWork Numbers 3.2 has added the ability to hide columns and rows via the menubar, I'm trying to make it work in an Applescript using system Events and the click menu item command, but no dice.  Any ideas?
    tell application id "com.apple.iWork.Numbers"
      activate
              tell table 1 of the active sheet of document 1
                        --select the range
                        set thisRangeName to "A:B"
                        set the selection range to range thisRangeName
                        --hide the cells
                        tell application "System Events"
                                  tell application process "Numbers"
                                       --this causes an error
                                      click menu item "Hide 2 Columns" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Table" of menu bar 1
                                       --this doesn't seem to do anything
                                       click menu item 18 of menu 1 of menu bar item "Table" of menu bar 1
                                  end tell
                        end tell
              end tell
    end tell

    I finally settled on this solution:
    tell application id "com.apple.iWork.Numbers"
         activate
         tell table 1 of the active sheet of document 1
              set thisRangeName to "A:B"
              set the selection range to range thisRangeName
         end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Numbers"
         click menu bar item "Table" of menu bar 1
         keystroke "Hi"
         delay 0.5
         keystroke return
    end tell
    I would be curious to know if anyone has found a more elegant solution.

  • Select is not using the Index

    Hi,
    I have a Z-Table. The Primary key is:
    EQUNR and LFDNR
    I created now a new index with the field: EQUNR BSTNK .
    Now I entered 3 equnrs and bstnk like 07* in SE16n
    Normally what I thought should happen is that it uses the index to read the three equipments and than checks the field bstnk.
    Instead it does a sequentiel read of the hole table that contains 12mio entries!
    When I enter the bstnk more qualified like 0712354* the search is fast (1sec). Why is SAP bypassing the index and does a sequentiel read instead?!

    Hi I checked,
    ST05 the fast run was using an Index, the second didn't!
    Thanks to  John. After I started a runstat on this table it worked.
    But  the weird thing is when I use a inner join between my Z-Table and the EQUI table it doesn't use the index.
    When I first select all equnrs in EQUI and then select the data from my z-Table with for all entries it uses my new index!
    Example:
    EQUNR has Index on field SERNR
    Z-Table has Index on EQUNR + BSTNK
    in sernrs I have ~5 full qualified sernos
    in bstnk I have something like 07*
    3 of these serialnumbers are in a bstnk that begins with 07.
              select *
                into corresponding fields of table search_result
                from equi as a
                inner join z-table as b on b~equnr = a~equnr
                where   a~sernr     in sernrs
                  and   b~bstnk     in bstnks
    After 5 min I have to kill the process. in SM50 I can see sequential read...
    When I do this:
            select equnr
              from equi
              into corresponding fields of table lt_search_result
              where sernr in sernrs.
              select *
                from z_table
                into corresponding fields of table lt_search_result
                for all entries in lt_search_result
                where equnr = lt_search_result-equnr
                  and bstnk in bstnks.
    It takes 2sec and I got the result.

  • My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

    My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc  has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

    <Edited by Host>

    I am soooooooooooo confused now.  Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
    1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
    2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
    Neither of the above are Apple's products.

  • Bind variables are not used in select statement

    Hello all of you,
    I have two parameters in Report 6i.
    1) Department
    2) Section
    There are many section in a single department. Both parameters are selected from list. The list for department name is as follows -
    select deptname from department_master order by deptname
    It works very well. The value is stored in :p_dept_name.
    I want to display section of selected department only using following code :-
    select sectname from section_master a, department_master b where a.deptcode = b.deptcode and b.deptname = :p_dept_name
    The value is stored in :p_sect_name.
    But it does not work. bind variables are not allowed in select statement, then how can I do this???
    Please suggest me.
    Thanx,

  • HT201493 How do you change the settings for find my friends to use my contacts. When I signed in I selected do not allow iPhone to use my contacts and now all the names are in e mail format.

    When I opened the app I selected do not allow, to use my contacts, but now realise I should have allowed it. I have uninstalled and reloaded it, but it will not ask me to use my contacts again. Any ideas as now I see e mail names and not just the persons name.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.
