Textedit automation question

I like to use Times New Roman font in textedit for readability but I often have to enter passwords in my notes and like those passwords to be in Courier so I can better differentiate 0/O, 1/l, etc.
What is the best way for me to create a keybinding where I can have the highlighted word be converted to Courier (size 14)?
Applescript? Something else?
Thanks!!

Peruse the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies and the Automator forum under Leopard.

  • Automation Question: How do I work with an open 'upload file' dialog?

    Preamble:
    Was a very experienced VBS automation guy, this is my first emersion into the wonderful world of C# automation. Using Selenium WebDiver, I have successfully logged into a web page, filled out a few web forms, clicked on the 'add image' button and am
    now faced with an open 'upload file' dialog. Pretty sure the namespace I need is system.windows.forms.OpenFileDialog so added the reference to my project.
    Question:
    All the examples on the web seem to relate to app development and not test automation. But, I need to automate this web application and all that's left is the image upload. What do I do when faced with an
    already opened 'upload file' dialog? I know the image and path, how do I automate the process of placing the full path into the dialog and clicking the OK button or alternately, enter key?
    Thank you!

    I doubt that you need System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog, the browser isn't written using WinForms and that dialog is a Win32 native dialog.
    Maybe you should post this in the Selenium Users
    group? It has little to do with C#, it's more about how Selenium interacts with the browser.

  • TextEdit attachment question [to PC users]

    I added TextEdit to my mothers Dock on her older iMac that runs Panther. I told her to use it if she wants to type something up quickly. I should have also told her that it is to type something up quickly and then quickly print. I should have further told her if it's something she wants to email, to highlight & copy what she typed and then post it into an email.
    Regardless, she used TextEdit to type some text that she wanted PC using people to read. She saved the TextEdit file on her Mac and then proceeded to email them the TextEdit file as an attachment. I told her to go back and open the file and copy and paste it into another email to them because I wasn't sure if PC users could open a Mac TextEdit file attachment (which she did).
    My question then is: Can PC users open and view a TextEdit file [in an email sent to them] ?

    No problems with what she did. 
    TextEdit saves in either .txt (plain text) or the default .rtf (rich text format) which are very widely compatible.
    Text Edit and RTF.

  • Automation Question

    Hi All,
    I am using Logic Pro 7.1 on a G5/dual 2.0/4GB RAM/numerous HD's/OSX 10.3.9.
    I have a question in regards to setting up a MIDI track for automation. When I set midi track 1 to "write" for example, all of my midi tracks then change to write. If I set it to "touch", all turn to touch, etc.
    I do not have the tracks grouped together.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
    I appreciate your help!
    Frank

    Thanks for your reply!
    If I'm understanding your reply correctly, it is already set up as you indicated.
    Each separate midi track is using a different midi/channel number. For example, Midi track 1/channel 1, midi track 2/channel 2, etc.
    I have 3 separate environments and it is happening across all environments and corresponding midi tracks.
    Thanks,
    Frank

  • Automation Question-I am losing my mind! Please help

    Hello, folks, I am a composer who just switched from PC using Cubase and Pro Tools to a brand new MacBook Pro using Logic Pro 9. I am trying not to get frustrated using Logic as I feel its missing a tool which is used by most other DAWs.
    So, while automating, the only two tools available are a pencil tool and a curve tool but Logic does not have options in automation shapes such as Free Hand, Rectangular, Square, Round, Random Shaping and triangular shaping. For those using Pro Tools, these are easily available in the Pencil Tool option when you hold that button down.
    I hope I didn't make my question too complicated. I have looked EVERYWHERE for the answer, the manual, google, Youtube and even called Apple support and the guy had no clue what I was asking about.
    Can any experts help? Do you know if Logic Pro 9 has any bug issues since it just came out?

    HardBeatz has given you the answer but it seems you are not understanding what HardBeatZ is trying to tell you so, I will try to explain it:
    Your Device was designed to support the use of Expansion Cards up to 4gb only.
    Your Device failing to recognise an Expansion Card over 4gb is normal behavior, it does not mean there is something wrong with the Device or the Expansion Card.
    Trying tricks and workarounds to get your Device to do something it was not designed to do will probably result in more problems and possible loss of valuable data.
    The only real and reliable solution is to get a 4gb Expansion Card or two.
    All the best, woz of oz

  • Adcfgclone automation question

    R12.1.3 running on RH Linux 5.8.
    I have my rapid clone configuration almost automated but I run into a problem when running adcfgclone on the appsTier.
    I can pass in the apps password but I don't want it to start the services when done so is there a way to pass "N' to adcfgclone.pl while also passing in the apps password?
    Example I use now is as shown below but it then sits waiting for Y/N to startup services:
    echo ${appspwd} | perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier $CONTEXT_FILE

    I believe I have what I need now via 'expect'.
    I was assisted by this post http://mohamedelazab.blogspot.ca/2013/07/nice-notes-for-automating-cloning-11i.html
    And for anybody else who stumbles on this thread here is what I run now.
    When it comes to the adcfgclone step in my bash script I have:
    /usr/bin/expect adcfgclone.exp  >$LOG_FILE_HOME/adcfgclone.log
    Where the contents of the file are:
    ================================================================================
    #!/usr/bin/expect -f
    set force_conservative 0  ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
                              ;# script wasn't run conservatively originally
    if {$force_conservative} {
            set send_slow {1 .1}
            proc send {ignore arg} {
                    sleep .1
                    exp_send -s -- $arg
    set timeout -1
    spawn perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier /app/oracle/ebsxxx/inst/apps/EBSXXX_yyy/appl/admin/EBSXXX_yyy.xml
    match_max 100000
    expect -exact "\r
    Enter the APPS password : "
    send -- "myappspwd\r"
    expect -exact "\r
    Do you want to startup the Application Services for EBSXXX? (y/n) \[y\] : "
    send -- "n\r"
    expect eof
    ==================================================================================
    Then I run adautocfg and finally adstrtal.
    I hope this post is not premature as I have yet to tun the whole thing together and via cron but on the cmd line works.

  • Html automation question

    I have a bunch of images on a server, and want to create a webpage where they are all available as thumbnails and ca be downloaded. I know how to do this in HTML, but I was wondering if there's an automated way to create such an html-page. It's really tedious to go through hundreds of images manually... Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot! That seems to do the trick. It's the first one I tried that I can actually run. The installation was kinda weird though. I'm not good with the whole sed-awk thing so I couldn't write a proper PKGBUILD for it...

  • More Automation questions.....

    Ok guys,
    My "Quick Access Automation" controller just stopped working ...out of the blue?????!!!!!!
    So I have set up my mod-wheel to be my quick-access controller.......So whatever automation is showing, will be controlled by mod-wheel......
    I have a key-command set up to toggle my mod-wheel between being a normal midi-modwheel and my quick access controller....
    quick access is broke...
    funny thing is when I go to re-learn it under automation-settings ....it says learned.
    Don't get it...
    please help
    SvK

    sorry mate i as much in the dark as you are. all i can do is suggest ways of chasing it down if it were me.
    last resort first - save your prefs to the desktop then initalize your key commands. see if you can get it to learn then.
    but first - restart computer and create a fresh song. even restart the controller.
    next, i'd put up a monitor and check that the mod wheel info is right (midi channel 1 or something).
    then i'd probably starting yelling...

  • Fine automation question

    Hello everybody
    I'm in some trouble trying to set an automation parameter.
    I need to shift a frequency parameter from a 60Hz value to exact 233 Hz, to get an accurate sweep, but the automation curve snaps automatically from 231 to 244.
    It has always happened with volume parameter but I did't care because I never needed to be so precise before.
    Is there any preference I have to set to allow this kind of accurate value setting?
    I searched for similar posts but i didn't find any.
    Does anyone know how to manage this thing?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

    p.s.

  • Simple Automation question

    OK, I can't imagine that this is something that Logic missed out, probably just an oversight on my part, but Ive dedicatad some time to this and still no answer, so here goes:
    I use Logic 8.0, Ive noticed that with the exception of volume level automation, NONE of logic's strip channel controllers get automated, including pan, busses, etc... In other words, I set up logic for Touch/Latch mode, I press play, if I move the volume level it will write nodes as it goes along, but if I try and manipulate any other controller, via the channel strip or external control surface I get nothing, the only thing i get is the OVERALL value of the specific controller Im trying to manipulate will move, but it wont "create nodes" as I go along, even when in touch/latch/write modes.
    what am i doing wrong??
    I also have problems when I try to assign an "other..." controller number in Hyper Draw, sometimes it freezes, and sometimes it just wont select a different controller, but simply stay on Bank MSB.
    Can anyone here please shed some light into this matter?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    As long as you shed some light as to what controller you're using...
    I'm with a MC Control and MC Mix, and all the automation gets nodes on my machine, since 8.0.2, when I bought these units. I have not really used LP9 too much yet, so I cannot opine on that version's operation.

  • Latch/Read automation question...

    Is there any way to get the automation mode to "snap" back from Latch to Read after you've stopped the playhead (without having to use a key command)? Similar to how you can set the "Write" mode to change in Preferences.
    Thanks

    I agree that it´s really annoying when I forget to switch back to Read; the risk is pretty big that I start writing automation all over the place.
    However, the Key Command ShiftCtrl+CommandR takes less than a second to use! It changes all tracks to Read. Handy, if you remember to use it...

  • Gate Automation question

    There's a gate automation technique I've heard of, and I'm not exactly sure how to pull it off, but here's what it involves: Creating a rhythm in the Matrix Editor, busing it to the gate, receiving the bused rhythm within the gate, and then somehow causing that rhythm to automate the the opening and closing of the gate in order to create a rhythmic effect that is specific to the rhythm you bussed to the gate. Does anyone know exactly how to do this? And if so, can you give me a rundown of it? Thanks greatly!

    Which gate plugin is this exactly? I've checked through all my gates and see no sidechain function in the upper right hand side. or anywhere else for that matter. Maybe I'm just slightly dense today. Once again, any help would be appreciated. : )

  • Automation question 2

    Hi again - I would like to cut out two short passages in my score .......... but after reading what Edgar wrote about the Cut/Insert time idea, it seems that if I do this it could mess things up.
    My question is: since his tutorial was written in 2006, has Logic changed this since then ?
    Thanks again, Kay.

    Using cut/insert only gets dicey if you're using varying meters. Just be sure to have the time signature included in the arrange window when you select the cycle region to be cut. Sometimes the only way to accurately cut is manually, and then rebuild the time signature. If you're using standard time, it's simple.
