Simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y)

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y) of the layers to an seperate xml/txt file.

Your screen capture looks like it's from Photoshop.
In InDesign sub layers are page items, the containing layer has no dimension. So you could get all the page item's x, y, width, height. But you might have to consider groups and then the layering could be very complex. The stacking order could also get complex. Page items have an index, but it's relative to its parent container.

Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file

Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file?

I quite hate it when I receive the incorrect amount of yoctocandela per metre squared. Swarthy people
can't properly convert poundal feet to barleycorn; throws off the whole conversion! Aaah, you get what
you paid for.I recognize those figures; you've got your outsourced file sizes from Zanzibar; admit it! I always apply
the scientific approach when I've got file sizes back from Zanzibar: I simply divide those numbers by
pi (very scientific) and drop the eleven (ueber scientific, because 11 is prime even when looked upon
as a binary number) least significant bits. And remember: never compare two floating point numbers
for equality. (<--- that's a free tip)

I need a script that will find the computer a user last logged into.

I am still learning scripting, I need a script that will allow me to pull in usernames from a csv file. Find what computer they last logged into and output that to an csv file.
I have looked all over and can't find exactly what I need.

If you are querying by user "resultset size" will be of no use.
You also have functions that are never used and the body code doe snot look for users.

I need a logout script that will erase the standard user account data after logout.

I have a lab of 35 Macbook Pros and I am trying to make it where when the user logouts, it will erase the data after they logout.
I have found several articles about deleting user accounts when they login through AD, but this is not the case.
Any help would be much help!

Then when they are at those system they do not Login and if they do have to enter a password it is whatever it is for the Base user account that is setup. Right?
I'd look at the Mac KB system to see if you can restrict saving to the local HDD but yet allow saving to a thumb drive or not.
To do what you want the system would need to keep track of all files saved from time X to time Y, and those times would be every changing. Not sure you are going to get there from here.
Not sure what you mean by Lab machines. I've worked in and gone to school at a Graphic art school and they have hundreds of Lab Mac's that each student must log into with there own user account when in different classes and when saving any of there work it gets saved on the server so it can be retrieved by them when they log into another system someplace else throughout the school or when using their own computer and connected to the schools network.
I wish you the best of luck with this project.

Script that will show the character count of all carriage resturns

I have found a bug when exporting an indd to idml. If a a carriage return falls in a character count that is a multiple of 8000 + 1 it is converted to a paragraph separator (u2029). I am in the process of mass exporting around 3000 files to idml for a project. I am trying to come up with a way with a script to check the files to see if carriage returns exist in these locations. I am fairly new to scripting and don't know how this would be done. I know it is possible to get character counts but is it possible to check if a character exists in a certain character count from the beginning of a story? Any help on this would be appreciated.
Also has anyone else ran into this with exporting to idml? I have submitted a bug report. This is can be recreated across multiple computers, OS's and versions of InDesign.

@Blujely – about your initial question about showing a specific character at an n-th position in a story, you could use a simple GREP search in InDesign and restrict that search to a specific story (e.g. the story of a selected piece of text):
Search for the n-th position with the formular in dummy-syntax:
Positive look behind of any character in the exact length n-1 + character
E.g. if you want to look for a "carriage return", defined in GREP as \n at every 10th position, search for:
(?<=.{9})\n
In your case that would be:
(?<=.{8000})\n

I want to build an apple script that will parse the name of a file and sort it into folders.

This is for medical application, so I will do it as such: CLIN_FAM_PAT_FILE_DATE.EXT sorts into Folders: Family/Patient/Type/Date, either sorting into folders that already exist (and make them shared folders eventually for each patient) or creating new folders with names as indicated by the file name. The Prefix "CLIN" is an indication that the file is a clincial patient document and so needs to be filed. Files without that prefix would be ignored.
So the file format would be:
Family Folder
Family DocumentsDocument Type folders
Patient folders - for each person who is a member of that houshold unitDocument Type Folders (such as x-rays, lab reports, or insurance info)Within each document type, there would be separate folders based on the date (or at least the order of the docs would be by date)
For example:   A document called CLIN_JONES123_JAMES228_LAB_022614.PDF which is a lab summary for James Jones done on 2/26/14 would go here
JONES123 FolderJAMES228 FolderLab Results FolderFebruary 2014 Folder.
Makes sense? I am initially putting these files into a Filemaker Pro database and having it compile the files based on patient name, type, date, etc. But need to use Applescript to create the folders so things are organized in a way that I can easily share with patients.
Makes sense?

You can call this script from Applescript (just need to do some escaping of quotes):
This can be run in Applescript:
do shell script "
DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop
MONTHS=(January February March April May June July August September October November December)
for f in ~/Desktop/*
do
     if [[ $( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f1 ) == \"CLIN\" ]] ; then
          ff=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f2 )
          pd=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f3 )
          date=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f5 )
          date=${date%%.*}
          mo=${date:0:2}
          yr=20${date:4:2}
          Dir=$DestinantionFolder/$ff/$pd/${MONTHS[$mo-1]}\\ $yr/
          if [ ! -d \"$Dir\" ]; then
               mkdir -p \"$Dir\"
          fi
          mv \"$f\" \"$Dir\"
     fi
done"
...is there a way to trigger this whenever a new file is created to check and see if it needs to be moved
Yes, with Automator. When you Open Automator, choose Folder Action
I copied what you did and while the script ran successfully, I don't see any new folders created. Your shell script makes sense; I am not sure why it doesn't create folders.
The script as written only looks for files in the Desktop Folder
(edit by changing: DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop )
To test I created a file on my Desktop
touch ~/Desktop/CLIN_JONES123_JAMES228_LAB_022614.PDF
and Folders were created and the file moved.
(Note: I only tested that format. If the file has any other format, it will fail)

Need a powershell script that will modify the path of an existing Outlook 2010 OST file

For new users we have a GPO in place that creates the OST file in the correct location. The GPO also works on existing users who create a new Outlook Profile.
The problem I am trying to solve is modifying an existing Outlook Profile and changing the location that the OST file is written to.
I have to put the users OST file on the network. Yes, I do know that this is not supported by Microsoft, but I have zero clients (WYSE units) on non-persistent VMware virtual machines. This means they cannot keep the OST file on the PC.
Our email provider requires us to run in Cached-Mode so OST files are here to stay.
Forcing 3000 users to create new Outlook profiles would not have a good outcome.
I also have to relocate their PST files onto the network, which is also not supported. I have been able to connect PST's with powershell, but disconnecting them has been challenging (can't make it work even once) so if I could get some help with that
too that would be excellent.
Thanks

Hi,

Script that will help validate if there is any data loss after a DB restore

Hi,
I need to write a single script that will perform the following
operations:
1)return me the highy accessed tables across all databases.
2)List the count, Min and Max system date of the highy accessed tables returned from step 1.
The idea is to validate if there is any data loss to the highly transactional tables after a database restore operation has been performed.
Thanks.

Hello,
I would also like you to see nice blog by Aron,you can modify the script a bit to change according to your need

Please mark this reply as the answer or vote as helpful, as appropriate, to make it useful for other readers
Hello Shanky,
The post would not be helpful too much for OP's requirement. The post was talking about when was the database last accessed. DMLs are not capturing in the script and also there will be many variant forms that can be applied for DML. Hence, I do not think,
the script would help too much.
Or Am I missing something?
Latheesh as i mentioed OP has to modify the script little bit may be add User_seek,user_update,user_scans.Still IMO there is no *perfect* way to actually analyze this.So I pointed out point in my original post.Also unless he has some timestamp he cannot
see min time when it was accessed ,max time can be taken from last user seek,scan,lookup time. Motive was to lethim know what he was trying to achieve cannot be axactly obtained by using sys.dm_index_usage_stats.Below query will give most accessed table
: Source (Query)
SELECT
t.name AS 'Table',
SUM(i.user_seeks + i.user_scans + i.user_lookups)
AS 'Total accesses',
SUM(i.user_seeks) AS 'Seeks',
SUM(i.user_scans) AS 'Scans',
SUM(i.user_lookups) AS 'Lookups'
FROM
sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats i RIGHT OUTER JOIN
sys.tables t ON (t.object_id = i.object_id)
GROUP BY
i.object_id,
t.name
ORDER BY [Total accesses] DESC

How can I create a simple app that will automatically add folder script

Hi! I hope I can get a little help on this. I tried searching online and haven't found anything.
Is there away I can make a simple "application" that will automatically add a folder script to a users folder?
Basically I need a folder script to run but I don't want to explaint o a user how they'd have to do it in automator.
I'd like to be able to create an application they double click. The app tells them to select a folder then automatically runs the script.
Does anyone have any ideas of how'd I'd do this?

Oh I get it. Yeah I read you post on one of the other pages and didn't quite understand, but not that you say that your're makeing this for another user, it makes sence.
So what you want to do is have the computer automatically install a script on a customer's computer, right?
(I'm using "custumer" loosly; i.e. just another user)
If that's what you'd like to do, then you'll probably have to write an actual program in Xcode, since I imagine automiticlly installing folder action scrips will be highly discuraged by Apple because it would cause a huge security hole in the OS. (You wouldn't want some random person sending you a folder action installer disgused as a regular app LOL.)
But I will actually suggest the following, which I think will work great for your users:
Make a regular Automator app, and drag it to your Dock. Now, have the user click and drag a bunch of photos to the application icon, and it will run the app automatically on those files.
You could try a work flow like this:
ask the user Are you sure?
convert pictures
save pictures to ConvertedPics folder
pop up a confirmation message saying that everything was resized
Hope this helps

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

Script that will warn users after 9 minutes of idle

If i have a group policy to lock screen set for 10 minutes. what would be the best way to have a pop up or notification that will appear when the workstation is about to lock in 20 seconds
in order to help the users?
From what i can tell i can not implement the message part in group policy. I'm thinking some type of script that literally warns the user after 9 minutes and 40 seconds of idle time. Seems like the easiest way to do it would be in a log on script.
How should i go about doing this? Please advise

Basically: Yes. It's just a matter of HOW you create the task :)

IDCS6(MAC) 10.9.4 - a script that will make an anchored object and paste in clipboard contents

I'm trying to create a script that will create an anchored object that will paste in clipboard contents.
So far I have:
var frameRef = app.selection[0];
var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add();
And this works fine, creating an inline object, that can further be defined (with anchor point settings etc).
However, it is when I go to use app.paste() or app.pasteInto() that all hell breaks loose.
The line of code I added was:
anchorFrame.content = app.pasteInto();
and the error I get is:
What am I doing incorrectly?
Colin

@Colin – For the paste command you like to use, you have to:
1. First select an object, in your case the added rectangle object
2. Then use the pasteInto() method from the app object
3. There is no content property for a rectangle object
Watch out what is selected after you added the rectangle.
What you have is a selection of the text frame when you start your code in line one.
Adding a rectangle will not change that selection.
The following code will do the job.
However, if you use pasteInto() the pasted objects could be only partly visible inside the frame.
Depends on the size and position of the added rectangle relative to the original copied page items.
Make sure that you give the rectangle a proper size after or while you are adding it:
var frameRef = app.selection[0];
var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
//Will add a rectangle sized 40 x 40 mm
var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0,0,"40mm","40mm"]});
app.select(null); //Optional
app.select(anchorFrame);
app.pasteInto();

Script that deletes all the data in the DB

Somebody has or know a script that delete all the data (but not the tables) of the database???? I have dummy data and know I need the tables clean of data.
How can I delete it???????? Thank you for you help
Javier

You could truncate all the tables with the following commandTRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>;This will delete all the data in the table while keeping the table structure, contraints, indexes, triggers, etc. intact so they wont have to be rebuilt. All foreign keys must be disabled to use the TRUNCATE command.
