Universally replace one character with another and then change font

Hello,
I have a geologic map file where there are hundreds of labels like Cc, Cz, Cwu, etc... all in the Arial font. I need to change all of the capital C's with a character from the StratagemAge font. That is to say, I need to find all instances of one character in my file and then replace them with another character and then change the font of that selected character.
I've been trying to figure out how to write an action to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do this easily already.
Any suggestions?
Jeremy

> how do you turn off the dialog for the Find/Replace in action palette?
At the left of each Action step is a square field. Mouse over it and the tooltip will read "Toggle Dialog On/Off".
> I got an action that I wrote to work, but it takes a button click for each instance in my file that I want to change. Would yours have that same drawback as that?
Yes, you would have to click each time to run the Action (or, you could assign a function key), but there would be no dialog to dismiss.
But you can pile several iterations of the same steps in the Action; so that one execution of the Action does ten replacements with one click, for example.
This would not be a particularly difficult thing to Javascript, but you are correct that scripting has a learning curve. This task is not something I would think often needed. Doing a few hundred replacements in a file, using an Action would not seem overly burdensome to me. But if it is a recurring need for you, it might be worth writing a script.

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to sum?

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to summer?

OK.
Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
Repeat for object B
Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

How to replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

Stepping through a query result set, replacing one string with another.

I want to write a function that replaces the occurance of a string with another different string. I need it to be a CF fuction that is callable from another CF function. I want to "hand" this function an SQL statement (a string) like this:   (Please note, don't bother commenting that "there are eaiser ways to write this SQL..., I've made this simple example to get to the point where I need help. I have to use a "sub_optimal" SQL syntax just to demonstrate the situation)
Here is the string I want to pass to the function:
SELECT
[VERYLONGTABLENAME].FIRST_NAME,
[VERYLONGTABLENAME].LAST_NAME,
[VERYLONGTABLENAME].ADDRESSS
FROM
LONGTABLENAME [VERYLONGTABLENAME]
Here is the contents of the ABRV table:
TBL_NM, ABRV    
VERYLONGTABLENAME, VLTN
SOMEWHATLONGTALBENAME, SLTN
MYTABLENAME, MTN
ATABLENAME, ATN
The function will return the original string, but with the abreviations in place of the long table names, example:
SELECT
VLTN.FIRST_NAME,
VLTN.LAST_NAME,
VLTN.ADDRESSS
FROM
LONGTABLENAME VLTN
Notice that only the table names surrounded by brackets and that match a value in the ABRV table have been replaced. The LONGTABLENAME immediately following the FROM is left as is.
Now, here is my dum amatuer attempt at writing said function: Please look at the comment lines for where I need help.
      <cffunction name="AbrvTblNms" output="false" access="remote" returntype="string" >
        <cfargument name="txt" type="string" required="true" />
        <cfset var qAbrvs=""> 
        <cfset var output_str="#txt#"> 
        <cfquery name="qAbrvs" datasource="cfBAA_odbc" result="rsltAbrvs">
            SELECT TBL_NM, ABRV FROM BAA_TBL_ABRV ORDER BY 1
        </cfquery>
     
    <cfloop index="idx_str" list="#qAbrvs#">      
    <cfset output_str = Replace(output_str, "#idx_str#", ) 
    </cfloop>               
        
    <cfreturn output_txt>
    </cffunction>
I'm mainly struggling with syntax here. I know what I want to happen, I know how to make it happen in another programming language, just not CF9. Thanks for any help you can provide.

One:
<cfset var output_str="#txt#"> 
No you do not need to create a local variable that is a copy of the arguments variable as the arguments scope is already local to the function, but you do not properly reference the arguments scope, so you leave yourself open to using a 'txt' variable in another scope. Thus the better practice would be to reference "arguments.txt" where you need to.
Two:
I know what I want to happen, I know how to make it happen in another programming language, just not CF9.
Then a better start would be to descirbe what you want to happen and give a simple example in the other programming language. Most of us are muti-lingual and can parse out clear and clean code in just about any syntax.
Three:
<cfloop index="idx_str" list="#qAbrvs#">      
I think you want to be looping over your "qAbrvs" record set returned by your earlier query, maybe.
<cfloop query="qAbrvs">
Four:
<cfset output_str = Replace(output_str, "#idx_str#", ) 
Continuing on that assumption I would guess you want to replace each instance of the long string with the short string form that record set.
<cfset output_str = Replace(output_str,qAbrs.TBLNM,qAbrs.ABRV,"ALL")>
Five:
</cfloop>               
If this is true, then you are looping over the record set of tablenames and abreviations that you want to replace in the string.

I want to cancel one iTunes store account, and then change the email associated with my other account to the deleted email. Will it work?

Hi,
I have two itunes accounts. One account has all my store purchases and is associated with my school email address, which I will eventually lose. The OTHER account has NO purchases on it, and is associated with my gmail account.
What I want is for my itunes account with all my purchases, to be associated my permanent gmail email account. However, if I try to change it, Apple of course tells me that the particular email address is already associated with another account. And, as others have said on the forums, you can't merge two accounts.
So, would it be possible to delete the gmail account entirely? And then, after that is done, change the email on my other account to my gmail address? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks!

How to replace one symbol with another?

I have a symbol with some very basic animations. I would like to set conditions upon which one symbol is swapped out for a symbol in a library. Each symbol is the same size, but so far I can't seem to get this right. I've attempted createChildSymbol but nothing really works. I've got it set up as:
My Stage:
container0container (rectangle)
container1container (rectangle)
container2container (rectangle)
button1
button2
My library symbols:
Symbol_1
Symbol_2
Symbol_3
Symbol_4
Symbol_5
I want to be able to click button 1, and replace the container1>container with container1>Symbol2 and then play the animation associated with container1
Can anyone advise me on this?

Not sure if it is what you want but try this:
sym.$('down_btn').click(function(){
var firstS = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_1", "container1");
sym.play('down1');
sym.$('up_btn').click(function(){
var firstS = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_2", "container1");
sym.play('up1');

How do I replace one table with another

In my swing application I go out over the network and retrieve information, and then present that info in a table. Problem is this button can be pressed more than once, so in this case the old table needs to be replaced. Looking through the API their does not seem ot be a remove to compliment add. Right now when I hit the button multiple times another table just gets added to the right of the previous table.
So how do I get rid of the first table?
m

Im not that advanced yet -- although I have looked over the literature and understand what you mean. Seems to me tables are more complicated than other swing elements. In any case, the container class DOES have a remove method, which is being used succesfully. Thanx for replying.

Replace one view with another with animation

Hello:
I'm clearly not following some basic principle here so I'd appreciate some guidance.
My intentions is to create a (quiz type) app with several screens (I'm assuming each of them will be a view that I will create in the Interface builder). The goal is to let user advance from screen 1 to screen 2 then to screen 3, etc. by answering multiple choice questions (presented as buttons). So when one button is clicked the current screen would slide to the left and the next screen would slide in. This animation is very much similar to the default Navigation-type app behavior, but in my case I do not need the navigation bar on top (since user should not be able to go back). By studying the latter example, I was able to find the following code that slides view controlers one over another:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
SecondPage *secondViewController = [[SecondPage alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondPage" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];
[secondViewController release];
but in my project, that doesn't seem to work, as, I'm assuming, I do not have the navigationController member.
What am I doing wrong here?

The issue I have now is how to change the initial UITableView to my own view (that I can design in the interface builder)?
Looks like you've made a lot of progress since your original question, so I'll skip the response I might have written earlier, unless you think it would be helpful to go back there. To your current question, I guess I should first ask "What initial UITableView?". My best guess is that you've found the Navigation-based Xcode template, which includes an instance of UITableViewController as the root view controller. Based on that guess, I take it you now want to replace the table view controller with a vanilla UIViewController so the root view needn't be a table view. Are these assumptions correct?
If so, here's how to make the replacement:
1) In RootViewController.h, change the super class from UITableViewController to UIViewController;
2) In RootViewController.m, remove all the lines from (and including) "#pragma mark Table view methods" upto -(void)dealloc;
3) Open RootViewController.xib, and select Window->Document from the top menu to make sure the "RootViewController.xib" window is open. This is the window that displays icons, not the editor window which displays the view. Delete the Table View icon (select it, then Edit->Delete). Then drag a UIView object into that window from the Library, then Ctrl-drag from File's Owner to the View icon to connect the 'view' outlet of File's Owner to the View object;
4) Double-click on the newly added View icon to open the IB editor window and populate that window with the subviews you want, returning to RootViewController.h and .m to add IBOutlet properties and IBAction methods as needed. Once RootViewController.h is saved you can make the required connections to File's Owner in IB.
Here's an example of how to hide the nav bar and transition to the next view from an action method:
// RootViewController.m
#import "RootViewController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
@implementation RootViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
- (IBAction)nextView {
SecondViewController *vc2 = [[SecondViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc2 animated:YES];
[vc2 release];
PS. It "suks" to go from being a pro on one platform to a complete noob on another
Many of us at this forum jumped from platforms such as Windows to iOS without any prior Cocoa experience, so you're among friends who understand the transition. In my case, after the first few weeks, I never wanted to see another dev environment again. So hang in there! It will be fun soon.

ABAP code help to replace one field with another

Hi All,
I have one DSO which is holding data for fields WBS(Old) and Company Code(Old).
and I have one table which holds the information for Ols WBS and Ols Comp Code along with their New WBS and New Comp code.
for eg:
In DSO :
Old WBS , Old Comp.Code
abc        , 001
xyz        , 002
In Table:
Old WBS , Old Comp.Code , New WBS , New Comp.Code
abc,           001,                    ABC,            001-04
xyz,           002,                    XYZ,            002-04
Now my requirement is ,
search record by record from DSO and look into the table .
If abc record in DSO matches with abc record in table, then in DSO it should replace with new WBS and Com.Codes.
after the code, data in DSO shuld be lik this.
WBS , Comp.Code
ABC , 001-04
XYZ,   002-04.
Thanks in advance,
Sai Chand.S

Hi
If these fields are key fields dont think its possible to overwrite. Else plz write the following Code in End Routine it will overwrite the existing values in DSO.
Select * from DSO into it_dso_temp. "U can even select only key fields WBS and CC fields.
If sy_subrc=0.
Sort it_dso_temp by WBS CC.
endif.
Select old WBS
           old CC
           new WBS
           new CC
from Table
into it_table
for all entries in it_dso_temp
where old WBS = WBS and old CC = CC.
if sy_subrc=0.
sort it_table by old WBS, old CC.
endif.
Loop at it_dso_temp assigning result_fields.
Read it_table into wa_table with key old WBS = fs_dso_temp-WBS
                                                           old CC = fs_dso_temp-CC Binary SEarch.
If sy_subrc = 0.
result_fields-WBS = wa_table-new WBS.
result_fields-CC = wa_table-new CC.
endif.
Endloop.
Refresh result_package.
result_package[] = it_dso_temp[].
Also if incoming data has only old values u can loop at result package instead of it_dso_temp. let me know in case of issues.
hope this helps !

How do you replace one image with another

I have a page that displays the results of a search for information about a club. One of the items is the club's logo. It is displayed using the following code
<img src="<?php echo $row_clubedit['club_logo_url']; ?>" alt="The Club's Logo" class="logo" title="The Club's Logo">
This works fine, except when no club has been selected, in which case it shows the default question mark in a blue box.
It would be nice if I could display the Federation Logo, to which all the clubs belong, until a club is picked.
Is there a simple way to set a default image that would be replaced from a data set.
$row_clubedit['club_logo_url'] holds the url to the log in the format http://www.club.org/clublogo.png
<img src="<?php echo ( 'federation_logo_url'); ?>" alt="The Club's Logo" class="logo" title="The Club'c Logo">
The logic I suppose would be
if club_logo_url does not exist,
then print the federation logo,
else print the club logo.
How do you code that in php?
I'm only a beginner at PHP.

<img src="<?php echo $row_clubedit['club_logo_url'] == "" ? "http://www.club.org/clublogo.png" : $row_clubedit['club_logo_url']; ?>" alt="The Club's Logo" class="logo" title="The Club's Logo">
should do it

Hi,
You don't need a UDF to do this. Follow this...
1. Edit the Message Type Result XML Namespace as urn:target_namespace from urn:source_namespace.
2. Save this and activate it.
3. In the Message Mapping go to edit and reload this new Message Type, save the changes and activate it.

Replacing multiple spaces with another character

i need to replace multiple spaces with another char in a string
my code is
Dim text as String="a bit much a little much" Dim arr As String() = text.Split({" "c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)Dim newtext As String = String.Join(" ", arr) MsgBox(newtext)
it returns to "a bit much a little much "
But i want to replace only long spaces with "=" as "a bit much =a little much"
How can i do that?

This version uses two spaces to split the string and then trims any additional single spaces. It returns "a bit much = a little much".
Dim text As String = "a bit much a little much "
Dim parts() As String = text.Split({" "}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Dim newText As String
If parts.Length = 2 Then
newText = parts(0).Trim & " = " & parts(1).Trim
End If
