The first character I type often ends up at the end of the word.

It's been going on since at least Snow Leopard, I'm on a clean Lion install now. It happens relentleslly in Safari. When I type in a search or fill a form on a webpage - even something simple as google, the first character I type often ends up at the end of the first word I type. Sometimes it ends up in the middle. If anyone esle has even observed it, i'd like to hear just to confirm I'm not mad.

Delay when typing in Safari, the first character is always missing.

Recently when I go to type in a address or text in the search window, the first first character is always gone. Resulting in me having to back space to the beginning to re-type the first character.
My father is a Mac user too and he experiences the same thing.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The problem you described sounds reminiscent of a problem many MacBook, MacBook Pro and even PowerBook G4 users have been experiencing. If you do a Discussions-wide search for the phrase "first key" in quotation marks, you'll get an idea of how wide-spread the problem is. Apple recently released a firmware update for the MacBook and MacBook Pros, but reports of first-key-unrecognition persists.
While I hope your problem isn't of this variety, the point I'm trying to illustrate is that if it is, Apple has yet to pin down a proper fix for it. Until they do though, perhaps some workarounds you can try are banging on a modifier key before typing anything, or clicking twice to ensure focus has been given to a window element and not just the window.

How can a variable display the first character that's on the page?

I'm creating a telephone directory and want each page to display the alphabet of the first listing on the page on the top - only one character.
Can you tell me how to do this?

Hmmmmm, seems I was wrong about the GREP styles. I just tried it and they don't get picked up. I consider that a bug, but it's probably "as designed."
That leaves you having to work with nested styles only, or Find/Change. I think what you'll need to do is redefine the Paragraph style so it has two nested styles that apply the correct style to whatever needs to be styled at the start of the paragraph, one for the first character and the second for the rest of the word(s) if you can figure out a trigger (can InData add an end nested style character or is thew some punctuation you can use?), then find/change to remove the applied character style. For that I'd serach for ^.+ with the find format set to the character style that InData applied and the chane format set to [None], which will only remove it from the beginning of your paragraphs. If this is done correctly there will be no change in appearance since the redefined paragraph style will do the formatting.
If that won't work, you can use find/change to apply a new style to the first characters. Search for ^. and set the change format to the new character style that you'll use in the variable. It needs to have the same attributes as the style applied by InData or the appearance will change.
The second method is probably easier since you don't need to redfine the paragraph style, but both methods require you to use find/change to alter the text, which means if more text is added you'll need to re-do the find/change. Not a big deal, but don't forget. I'd be tempted to wait until the last minute and just ignore the headers for the moment, if editing is ongoing. I'd also test this on a copy of the file for safety.

TestStand database logging problem: only the first character is put in the table.

I am using TestStand 2.0.1 and Microsoft SQL server database. There is a weird problem when I use database logging. At first, all the database logging ran good.
Then one day after I moved the test equipment to production line, TestStand only logs the first character of each string field in the tables! There is no error message.
I setup another SQL server running locally on the same machine as the TestStand is and move the database to the local server, database logging has no problem. Schemas in TestStand Dabasebase Options are the same.
I tried to run TestStand from another computer on the network. There was no problem before, too. But now, TestStand always shows a Run-time error message like this:
Details:
An exception occurred calling 'LogResults' in 'ITSDBLog' of 'DBLog 1.0 Type Library'
An error occurred executing a statement.
Schema: New.
Statement: STEP_RESULT.
Connection failureMultiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
Source: TSDBLog
Error Code:
-2147467259; User-defined error code.
Location:
Step 'Log Results to Database' of sequence 'Log To Database' in 'Database.seq'
I have checked that the connection is good and also the table UUT_RESULT has been logged correctly.
Anyone can help?
Thanks.

Thank you very much, Santiago.
Yes, I have a customized schema, but it is based on the pre-existing schema. I tried the schema:TS 1.x Access/SQL (NI), which came with TestStand, the results were the same.
I have tried to run different sequences. On one computer, I always get only the first character of each string entry logged in the remote database, however for the local server, everything is fine. On the other computer, there is no local SQL server, I always get similar error message as I mentioned in my post. The sequence step reports error is "Log Results to Database".
Any more suggestion?
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Jaso

[CS2/CS3 JS] Finding the first character of each paragraph

Hi,
Can anybody help with my script below:
for (h=0; myParaCount>h; h++){
myChars = myStory.paragraphs.item(h).contents;
if (myChars.characters.item(0) == "l" && myChars.characters.item(0).appliedCharacterStyle == CharStyleWin){
myStory.paragraphs.item(h).appliedParagraphStyle = "L-B";
This script is supposed to test if the first character is an "l" with my character style "Wingdings" applied to it. I could not test whether the character style is "Wingdings" or not. What could be wrong with my script. Thanks.

// You need to have a textFrame selected
var myFrame = app.selection[0];
var myParaCount = myFrame.paragraphs.length;
// There must exist a paragraphStyle name L-B
var myApplyStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("L-B")
for (h=0; h < myParaCount; h++){
var myChar = myFrame.paragraphs.item(h).characters.firstItem();
// check if first char is "l" and if its applied charstyle name is CharStyleWin
if (myChar.contents == "l" && myChar.appliedCharacterStyle.name == "CharStyleWin"){
myFrame.paragraphs.item(h).appliedParagraphStyle = myApplyStyle;

The first character in a string

I need to return the first character of a string, convert it to an integer, and compare it with another integer to see if they're the same. Sounds simple, even for me, but it won't work!!!
// First question >
Object userValue1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Blah Blah Blah", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, options1, options1[0]);
Variables.placeholder = (int) userValue1.charAt(0);This is the error I get
C:\Documents and Settings\imholt\My Documents\OOPAttempt\21_Questions\Engine.java:170: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method charAt (int)
location: class java.lang.Object
Variables.placeholder = (int) userValue1.charAt(0);
^
1 error
I have a sneaky suspicion that once I find out what the problem was, I will ask myself why I didn't see it before...

Try this
Object userValue1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Blah Blah Blah", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, options1, options1[0]);
String str = userValue1.toString();
Variables.placeholder = (int) str.charAt(0);

Keyboard is missing the first letter I type

From time to time (several times in an hour), when I start typing on the keyboard of my brand new MacBook, the first character is missing.
Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Other's have noted the problem as well. There is a longer thread at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3659519&#3659519
As far as I know, the problem is unresolved.

Getting zero to display as the first character

I know this should be simple, but I'm trying to get a zero to display as the first character in a field when necessary. For example last 4 of SSN. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
You can achieve this in the Patterns dialog. Select the object and go to the Object > Field palette. There you can click the Patterns button and edit the Display Pattern.
For example, this would display a number without leading zeros: 12
num{zzz9}
Whereas if you use 9 it will display leading zeros: 0012
num{9999}
Hope that helps,
Niall

Can not run the calc scripts by mxl, if the first character is Number

I found that if you create the calc scrpt like 1abc.csc. You can not run it by mxl. I tried for times but do not know the reason for that. I found that you can use number in the name of the calc scripts(like abc1.csc, a1bc.csc), but not for the first character(like 1abc.csc).
Below is my mxl scripts:
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
login admin identified by password on localhost;
spool on to 'C:\abc.log' ;
execute calculation sample.basic.1abc;
spool off;
logout;
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I write a bat file below:
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essmsh C:\abc.mxl
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I can run the scripts if I change the name "1abc" to "abc1"or "a1bc".
Of course I can run this calc in EAS, no matter the name is "1abc" or "abc1".
Anybody find the same problem with me?

I agree, if ever there was a "best practice" to developing scripts (especially when using variables) it is to enclose in single quotes. I actually use double quote, single quote.
execute calculation "'$4'"."'$5'"."'$6'";

Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

Great, first post, sorry for the title. But to repeat it:
I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
All of this you can do with FTP

The first character I type often ends up at the end of the word.
