Saving the text in text editor changes text line format

I am not preety sure why on saving teh typed text it chnages to this format.
I would like to have my program save it as is typed. Is this possible to do so
and how?
Thanks.

Hi Aarav,
Check the internal table used to store the text is having line length 100. Change that to 200 or more . You can see the difference . If still the problem persists, enter each line in the text editor and conclude each line with a carriage return( ENTER )
key press.
Hope this will help you.

How to Change Width of Rich Text Editor

We are attempting to use a rich text editor. By default, the span for the RTE gets a width of 760px. This is much wider than we'd like.
The id attribute of the span control gets set to cke_<PAGE_ITEM_NAME_HERE>, so this jQeury selector should obtain a reference to the control and allow us to change or remove the width attibute
span#cke_P3_DESCRIPTION_2However, what we've notice is that the control does not exist until after the page has been loaded. In other words, if we do this in the "Execute when Page Loads" section, nothing happens
$('span#cke_P3_DESCRIPTION_2').css('width','');We can confirm this by popping up an alert. In the page load section, this yields "0" but, in a button on the page, that gets clicked after the page is open, it yields "1"
alert($('span#cke_P3_DESCRIPTION_2').length);So, since the control isn't actually there at load time, what's the best way to do this?
-Joe

Thanks for this tip, VC! Worked like a charm.
I was having a problem with a rich text field in a modal region in one of the new responsive themes (theme 25). The page dutifully alters the spacing and layout of the page regions as the browser window is made wider or narrower, and the modal region also resizes appropriately. But the CKEditor window within the modal region stubbornly stayed at whatever value it defaults to (30 characters, which I guess translates to the number of pixels mentioned by the OP).
I slightly modified your code below to set the width property to 100% instead of a fixed value and now the editor window expands to fill the available modal region width. Perfect!

Make changes to the rich text-editor toolbar

I need to add and remove some functionality of the rich text-editor toolbar. Based on the documentation: "Oracle Portal 10g release 2 - enhanced rich text editor", I can modified the Rich Text Editor (RTE) by modifying a file located in http://<host>:<port>/images/buildUIembed.html. To remove or rearrange a button within the RTE toolbar, I need to modify the drawEditor() function. I was able to do this; however, now I need to add one functionality: add the header format. I want to add the functionality of having "h1", "h2", and "h3" in some type of combo box. I know how to remove, but I am not sure how to go ahead and add this functionality. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcelo

I need exactly this feature too...
Have you find some information?
I plan to change to other rich editors (as TinyMCE) but I have no documentation about how to do it...

Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
Any ideas?

CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

Folder action to find and replace text and change line feeds

I want to use a folder action to find and replace text and change Mac carriage returns to DOS line feeds inside text files.
The text to be replaced is: "/Users/wim/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music" (without the quotes)
This text has to be removed (i.e. replaced by an empty string)
The text occurs many times within each file.
The files are playlists exported from iTunes in the M3U format (which are text files). They contain Mac carriage returns. These need to be changed to DOS line feeds.
I have found the following two perl commands to achieve this:
To find and replace text: perl -pi -w -e 's/THIS/THAT/g;' *.txt
To change carriage returns to line feeds: perl -i -pe 's/\015/\015\012/g' mac-file
I know that it's possible to make a folder action with Automator that executes a shell script.
What I want to do is drop the exported playlists in M3U format in a folder so that the folder action will remove the right text and change the carriage returns.
My questions are:
Is it possible to make a folder action that executes command line commands instead of shell scripts?
What is the correct syntax for the two commands when used in a folder action shell script? Especially, how do I escape the slashes (/) in the string to be removed?
Thanks for your help

Ok, I've include an applescript to run a shell command. The applesript command quoted form makes a string that will end up as a single string on the bash command line. Depending on what you want to do, you may need multiple string on the bash command lines. I've included some information on folder actions.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.

    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix

How to drag global data in text editor in smart forms

Please help me friends.

Hi Manisha,

1. First activate your smart form after declaring the variable in Global definition. Then try to drag n drop from Field list
2. Or else click on Editor tab of Text node, Then Goto-> change editor (You will get a editor same as Sapscripts)
put the variable like that:
HT : &W_TOTAL-MASSG&
Try this. Best luck...

Newbie help with sample Studio app. "Plain Text Editor"

I'm trying to make the jump from AppleScript to AppleScript Studio, and because I want to eventually write a document producing application I thought I'd start with the textbook example "Plain Text Editor" included with Xcode. I think I see how menu items are connected to "Target/Actions," and I was able to build and run it without difficulty. It's remarkable how little AppleScript had to be written to produce a rudamentary text editor. But in playing with the built application, I noticed that the Revert menu item does not work exactly as expected.
If you create a text document, and then make some change to it, and then click the Revert menu item, you get the expected little dialog asking if you want to revert to the most recently saved version, but if you then click the Revert button, the text displayed in the text view object does not revert to the original. However, something is happening, because whatever code is behind the Save, Close, and Quit menu items does seem to be "aware" that the Revert item has been invoked: because if you click one of these after Revert, the "do you want to save changes?" warning doesn't appear, just as one might expect.
The Revert menu item seems to be connected to a "Target/Action" called "revertDocumentToSaved:" which sounds perfectly reasonable. But does the fact that Revert doesn't cause the displayed editing text to revert mean that (a) there is a bug in the code behind this Target/Action, or (b) that the writer of this textbook example just didn't bother to do everything needed for the Revert item to work in an intuitive manner?
Whichever the answer, what would I do to make it work properely?
It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the text view object in the editing window, and the Close, Save, Quit suite of menu items, because the behavior of these is dependant on whether or not there are unsaved changes in the text view object. But looking through the Inspector for this object, I don't see any, neither AppleScripts, nor Outlets, nor Target/Actions. Where and for what should I be looking?
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think -- and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong -- that this is a place where AppleScript Studio's implementation just isn't done right. Either they intended to add a "revert" handler somewhere and forgot, or else they meant to have it send an existing message and didn't.
I haven't done any document-based applications -- heck, I've only dabbled slightly in AppleScript Studio -- so there may be a "deeper" answer to this, but you might consider just hooking the menu item up to send its "choose menu item" handler to your document script, and have it react accordingly.

Max characters in a Rich Text Editor?

Is there a "hard limit" on the number of characters I can enter into a Rich Text Editor?
My testing suggests that you can only have 4000 characters. If i submit more than 4000 i.e. 4001, I get the following error message:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
The data type I am trying to insert into is of type CLOB (which if memory serves can store upto 4 GIG).
We are using Oracle Application Server (Apache and MOD_PLSQL) so I imaging that there is possible a limit here as well with how much data can be posted.
Thanks for any help.
Duncs

Hi Duncs,
I tried to reproduce your problem on our internal development system but was not able to do so. What did I do?
1) Created a new table with the following statement
CREATE TABLE DEPT_WITH_CLOB
   (     "DEPTNO" NUMBER(2,0),
     "DNAME" VARCHAR2(14),
     "LOC" VARCHAR2(13),
     "MORE_TEXT" CLOB,
      PRIMARY KEY ("DEPTNO") ENABLE
   ) ;2) Created a new application with a "Report and Form" based on the DEPT_WITH_CLOB table.
3) Modified P2_MORE_TEXT to use Rich Text Editor as item type.
4) Executed the page and entered a text which was more than 18,000 char long
5) Clicked apply changes and everything was stored without a problem.
Can you provide more information about your system?
1) APEX version
2) Database Version
3) Do you use database links in your apps or do other applications use database links?
4) If yes, which database version are those databases?
5) If you are able to reproduce the problem on apex.oracle.com that would also be of great help.

Using Text Editor control in Visual Compose

Hello,
I have added Text Editor control in a input form with certain dimensions, but when I preview the form the text edit field has different height than my layout view.
Do you know what am I doing wrong?
Marcelo

Hello marcelo,
When you check the configuration panel (on the upper- right side). There's an option in layout "fit content" this might be on auto, you could change it to actual size.
Regards
