UDF Text or Regular

I'm new to B1 and I'm trying to add a UDF to inventory master. The type options include "Regular" & "Text". What is the difference and when should you use one vs the other?

I believe you are talking about Type Structure option. Regular is the default selection when you select Alphanumeric as Type option. If you select Text for the structure, this UDF can hold long text such as comments or remarks. The structure selection has Date, Time and other options. You probably don't need change default for most of UDF.
Thanks,
Gordon

Bullets (numbers) in bold type, text in regular...impossible?

I've searched high and low and could not find a solution to my problem:
How can I format a bullet (in my case, numbers) WITHOUT formatting the text next to it. I mean, bullet in bold and text in regular type.
Am I missing something or is this not possible in Keynote?
Any help is most welcome.
Dan

Option-click will select just the bullet

Find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation

Hi Friends
Is it possible to find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation using plugin

A plugin can use the PDWordFinder to get a list of the words on a page, and their location. That's all that the API offers for searching. Of course, you can use a regular expression library to work with that word list.

In UDF text paste.

Dear All,
I have an requirement in which I have made a UDF( type is alphanumeric and structure is text ) in the marketing document for Sales Quotation. Now the user will copy some text from an external document and would paste in this udf. The text from external document would be like eg - short technical details :
2-250 1/1 H4 V6/1.5 380-415/50
Optionen:
380 - 415 V CE,
Steuerleitung H4 (0,8 - 2,8 m )
now the problem is that if the user copies this text and paste in the udf only the first line is coming means - 2-250 1/1 H4 V6/1.5 380-415/50 but i want the whole text to be pasted.
Also I cannot use the Item details in the row level as in it I would paste the detailed technical description of the product.
Is it possible to create a udf with same properties of Item details wherein the additional screen would open and then I can paste the above short technical details.
Please let me know how to resolve this problem.
Regards,
Kamlesh

Hi Kamlesh,

I tested the same what you are mentioned but iam not face any problem the whole text
will be pasted propertly in my UDF.

UDF text box in bottom section

Can I add an UDF to fit 260 characters (I tested system only can fit 254) text box in the bottom area for "Remark" use not same comments?
How to populate UDF in SO or PO for this UDF not in Row or Title area?
Besides UDF "Remark" will need another Text Box to fit 440 characters in the bottom area as well. This is user's request for their business.

I added my text from GoTo>Opening and Closing Remarks that can fit enough characters. Very useful.

What's the functional difference between placeholder text and regular text?

When inserting text into a project template that I'm creating, what's the difference between inserting regular text (using the Caption tool) and inserting placeholder text?
There's an obvious difference between inserting an image and an image placeholder, but when I use a project template that I've created, placeholder text and caption text behave the same way: I see the text on the stage, and double-click it to edit. So why go through the extra step of inserting placeholder text?

Textbooks are educational books for use in schools and universities and the like. They are currently avaiable for purchase only in the USA. Textbooks have different contract clauses applied to them. Among them is an obligation on the publisher to offer textbooks that are sold in electronic form via other distributors in the iBookstore as well. Textbooks also have different (much lower) pricing tiers, and they must be made available via the bulk purchasing program. Textbooks must be authored with IBA (they cannot be ePub). I believe that textbooks also undergo a more stringent review process.
Normal eBooks (not in the textbook category) can currently be sold in 32 territories (US, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe), and their pricing tiers provide for much higher prices.
There is no difference in the widgets you can use in normal books and textbooks. The same widget set that is provided by IBA applies to both. In addition, a normal eBook can be published in ePub format and, therefore, authored with software other than IBA.
Books can contain audio and video and, yes, iBooks Author allows you to create such books.

Sales UDF text field

I created a udf field for users to put a description of why the client is returning products. I can access the field via view/user defined fields, but it doesn't let me type a description in it. I created the udf as type = alphanumeric, structure = text, with max characters of 100.

How i can validate a entered text against regular expressions ?

Thank you for reading my post.
how i can validate an entered text to checkk its syntax to ensure that it is a domain name ?
I think i should use RE , but i do not know how i can do this.
Thank you

If you want to validate at client side, you need to create a javascript function (validation) and add it to the "onBlur" attribute of the TextField component In the propertysheet (Set it via JavaScrip->onBlur in the property sheet). To put the Actual Java Script, you need to edit the JSP page. If you need to do it server side, create a custom validator.

Texting to regular phone

how can I text to someone who has a standard phone.? is there an app for it.
Have a new iPad.
thank You

Yes this is possible , you need to use the VoIP to PSTN capability of the unit.
You have two option , SPA3000 has two lines, Line 1 and PSTN Line.
Option 1 , set Line 1 Call forward all destination to gw0, this means that all calling the Line 1 user-id will be directed to FXO
Option 2 , register PSTN line with vonage account , this way when you someone call the PSTN line user-id , a second dial tone will be provided (FXO) which will allow you to dial another number.

Find text by regular expression

I'm struggling with a problem. I have some files that contain a string like:
"name": "someName"
I can find these using egrep like so:
egrep -r '"name": "[^"]*"' /some/folder/path/
This works admirably, except that it returns more than I really want. It gives me something like this:
/path/to/Chrome/extension/manifest.json:   "name": "Extension Name"
What I really want is just the name itself, eg:
Extension Name
I don't care about anything else. I'm running these searches from an AppleScript, which already knows what folder it's looking in, and just needs to know 1) if a match was found, and if so, 2) what the name was.
How can I do this? Is there a way to do a search that only returns a particular portion of the results, or would I need to run the results through something else to filter it further?
Thanks in advance!

If I've guessed correctly at what you're doing
Heh... I imagine you have. I wasn't sure who might frequent this forum, so didn't want to make any assumptions.
You may or may not know that I have an EtreCheck-like script that I use in conjunction with my Adware Removal Tool. It has proven to be extremely helpful in locating new adware, but it still somewhat limited in getting information on Firefox and Chrome extensions. It has proven difficult to get names, especially for Chrome extensions. I'm working hard on trying to improve it.
An excerpt from a sample manifest.json file in a Chrome extension - modified slightly for clarity - looks like this:
   "manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Some extension name",
   "offline_enabled": true,
   "version": "6.3"
I'm using egrep to search for this "name" key so that I don't have to make too many assumptions about the internal structure of the extension folder. I know the manifest.json file is in there somewhere, and will have this key in it, so this is an easy way to find that name. To just display the name, the simple egrep I'm using is adequate, but in some cases there's special data in that name string that indicates where to find a localized name, so I need to be able to do something special in those cases, and need just the name string and nothing else.
The solution turns out to be a combination of several responses. The addition of the -o and -h flags gets me close to what I want, and passing it through cut with a double-quote as the delimiter works to trim it down perfectly. So now I can do:
egrep -roh '"name": "([^"]*)"' /path/to/folder/ | cut -d \" -f 4
The egrep will return:
"name": "Some extension name"
Passing it through cut with the above parameters gives exactly what I need... just:
Some extension name
Thanks to all for the advice!

How to regularly update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy for BW DEV?- Urgent

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me to understand how to update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy regularly for BW DEV.
Since all the new query developments are taking place in DEV, users are not finding the latest Masterdata/ Texts /Hierarchy in the DEV system.
I have searched in SDN and got a document "HOW TO DOWNLOAD A HIERARCHY TO A FLAT FILE". However, is there any other way to upload the master data automatically on periodical basis.
Please help urgently.
Advance Thanks,
BW USA

If you want to extract master data from PRD in order to load in DEV, i suggest to do this (its a tricky thing):
For example, you want to download 0EMPLOYEE
1-In PRD, transaction RSD1
2-Enter 0EMPLOYEE
3-Copy the Master table for 0EMPLOYEE (/BI0/MEMPLOYEE)
4-transaction SE16
5-Enter the table name /BI0/MEMPLOYEE
6-in the selection screen, go to "Options" Menu and select "User parameters", and now select "Standard List SE16"
7-Execute
8-Now its show's up the 0employee data, go to "System" menu - List - Save - Local File
9-After you have the flat file, only rest create Infopackae in DEV Env. and load it from the flat file.
Asigns points if useful.

My cousin isn't recieving my text messages. We never text through imessage because she is never connected to WIFI. Now, when I text her, it is sending through imessage but she isn't recieving them.

My cousin recently got an Ipad. Ever since then, when we text through our iphones, our thread is through imessage, and when I send her a text, it says delivered, but she isn't recieving them. She insists she has imessage turned off on both devices. She doesn't use imessage because she is never connected to wifi and doesn't want to use her data, so that is why we text through regular texting (green and white). I don't know if this has anything to do with her setting up her ipad, but my texts to her started sending through imessage only right after she set up the new device. My texts are being delivered somewhere because after I text her, it says "delivered" I can also recieve texts from her, she just can't see mine. Again, she said imessage is not activated on either of her devices, so I have no idea what the problem is. She is able to text other people with iphones just fine. We both have an iphone 5S, and she just got a used ipad mini. PLEASE HELP!!

It is no wonder she is not receiving your messages if she has iMessage turned off in her iPad.
For her to receive iMessages on the iPad, she needs to turn iMessage ON in her iPad and then she needs to be connected to the internet in order to receive them. This connection can go through WiFi or through cellular data if her iPad has this functionality, but those two requirements are a must.
1. iMessages ON
2. iPad connected to Wifi or cellular data.

Create a new page in Text Edit?

I know Text Edit has limited functionality but I havent been able to find any tutorials or basic information on Text Edit and eventually I may get Pages or Word for Mac, but for right now, I dont really need anything fancy so I'm hoping Text Edit will work. Im thinking there's no reason you couldn't do a resume even on here - although I think Pages has pre-done layouts which would make it look a lot prettier.
Anyway, simple Text Edit question: Is there just a way to create a new page - basically a page break like you did in Microsoft Word on a PC where you would hit control+enter. Im assuming there should be as that seems like a pretty basic function.
Also if anyone uses Text Edit regularly, can you tell me what are the basic things it can and cannot do...what do you need Pages (Or word for mac) for and for what will Text Edit suffice. (I assume, for example, that Text Edit is not going to allow you to automatically do page numbers while Pages will)

Regular expressions in ActionScript??

I have been looking at the Adobe publication Programming Action Script (pdf) and it
specifies ECMA-262 3rd edition specification. But the specification don't seem to
state exactly what type of regular expression engine and version is used.
Is it POSIX, or PERL compatible regular expressions (or both)?
I have read and used the classic O'Reilly text Mastering Regular Expressions
and coded regular expressions in javascript/php/etc (anywhere regular expressions
could be use, Apache configuration file, other server config files, etc etc etc)
There is a difference in the type of engine used, where as performance is
concerned, as well as the range of syntax valid in a particular implementation.
Thank You

Regular expressions in Format Definition add-on

Hello experts,
I have a question about regular expressions. I am a newbie in regular expressions and I could use some help on this one. I tried some 6 hours, but I can't get solve it myself.
Summary of my problem:
In SAP Business One (patch level 42) it is possible to use bank statement processing. A file (full of regular expressions) is to be selected, so it can match certain criteria to the bank statement file. The bank statement file consists of a certain pattern (look at the attached code snippet).

- I am in search of the right type of regular expression that is used by the Format Definition add-on (javascript, .NET, perl, JAVA, python, etc.)
Besides that I need the regular expressions below, so the Format Definition will match the right lines from my bankfile.
- a regular expression that selects lines starting with :61: and line :86: including next lines (if available), so in fact it has to select everything from :86: till :61: again.
- a regular expression that selects the bank account number (position 5-14) from lines starting with :86:
- a regular expression that selects all other info from lines starting with :86: (and following if any), so all positions that follow after the bank account number
I am looking forward to the right solutions, I can give more info if you need any.

Hello Hendri,
Q1:I am in search of the right type of regular expression that is used by the Format Definition add-on (javascript, .NET, perl, JAVA, pythonetc.)
Answer: Format Definition uses .Net regular expression.
You may refer the following examples. If necessary, I can send you a guide about how to use regular expression in Format Defnition. Thanks.
Example 6
Description:
To match a field with an optional field in front. For example, u201C:61:0711211121C216,08N051NONREFu201D or u201C:61:071121C216,08N051NONREFu201D, which comprises of a record identification u201C:61:u201D, a date in the form of YYMMDD, anther optional date MMDD, one or two characters to signify the direction of money flow, a numeric amount value and some other information. The target to be matched is the numeric amount value.
Regular expression:
(?<=:61:\d(\d)?[a-zA-Z]{1,2})((\d(,\d*)?)|(,\d))
Text:
:61:0711211121C216,08N051NONREF
Matches:
1
Tips:
1.     All the fields in front of the target field are described in the look behind assertion embraced by (?<= and ). Especially, the optional field is embraced by parentheses and then a u201C?u201D (question mark). The sub expression for amount is copied from example 1. You can compose your own regular expression for such cases in the form of (?<=REGEX_FOR_FIELDS_IN_FRONT)(REGEX_FOR_TARGET_FIELD), in which REGEX_FOR_FIELDS_IN_FRONT and REGEX_FOR_TARGET_FIELD are respectively the regular expression for the fields in front and the target field. Keep the parentheses therein.
Example 7
Description:
Find all numbers in the free text description, which are possibly document identifications, e.g. for invoices
Regular expression:
(?<=\b)(?<!\.)\d+(?=\b)(?!\.)
Text:
:86:GIRO 6890316
ENERGETICA NATURA BENELU
AFRIKAWEG 14
HULST
3187-A1176
TRANSACTIEDATUM* 03-07-2007
Matches:
6
Tips:
1.     The regular expression given finds all digits between word boundaries except those with a prior dot or following dot; u201C.u201D (dot) is escaped as \.
2.     It may find out some inaccurate matches, like the date in text. If you want to exclude u201C-u201D (hyphen) as prior or following character, resemble the case for u201C.u201D (dot), the regular expression becomes (?<=\b)(?<!\.)(?<!-)\d+(?=\b)(?!\.)(?!-). The matches will be:
:86:GIRO 6890316
ENERGETICA NATURA BENELU
AFRIKAWEG 14
HULST
3187-A1176
TRANSACTIEDATUM* 03-07-2007
You may lose some real values like u201C3187u201D before the u201C-u201D.
Example 8
Description:
Find BP account number in 9 digits with a prior u201CPu201D or u201C0u201D in the first position of free text description
Regular expression:
(?<=^(P|0))\d
Text:
0000006681 FORTIS ASR BETALINGSCENTRUM BV
Matches:
1
Tips:
1.     Use positive look behind assertion (?<=PRIOR_KEYWORD) to express the prior keyword.
2.     u201C^u201D stands for that match starts from the beginning of the text. If the text includes the record identification, you may include it also in the look behind assertion. For example,
:86:0000006681 FORTIS ASR BETALINGSCENTRUM BV
The regular expression becomes
(?<=:86:(P|0))\d
Example 9
Description:
Following example 8, to find the possible BP name after BP account number, which is composed of letter, dot or space.
Regular expression:
(?<=^(P|0)\d)[a-zA-Z. ]*
Text:
0000006681 FORTIS ASR BETALINGSCENTRUM BV
Matches:
1
Tips:
1.     In this case, put BP account number regular expression into the look behind assertion.
Example 10
Description:
Find the possible document identifications in a sub-record of :86: record. Sub-record is like u201C?00u201D, u201C?10u201D etc. A possible document identification sub-record is made up of the following parts:
u2022     keyword u201CREu201D, u201CRGu201D, u201CRu201D, u201CINVu201D, u201CNRu201D, u201CNOu201D, u201CRECHNu201D or u201CRECHNUNGu201D, and
u2022     an optional group made up of following:
     a separator of either a dot, hyphen or slash, and
     an optional space, and
     an optional string starting with keyword u201CNRu201D or u201CNOu201D followed by a separator of either a dot, hyphen or slash, and
     an optional space
u2022     and finally document identification in digits
Regular expression:
(?<=\?\d(RE|RG|R|INV|NR|NO|RECHN|RECHNUNG)((\.|-|/)\s?((NR|NO)(\.|-|/))?\s?)?)\d+
