Using a script to get specific itens from a dvd

How can I get specific itens from a dvd using a list of archives.
for example: I have a list exel ou text containing the files I'd like to extract from this dvd ...Is it possible? put this list working to copy these files?
thank you very much.....

If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

Please edit my script to get specific measurements?

Please edit my script to get specific measurements?
Hi Guys,
I do have script, which gives specific measurements of selected objects. This is working great. But I need the following requirements.
· Size should come exactly. That means the selected object is 10.4mm. But this script is measuring as 10mm, which is not correct exactly.
· Color should be following.
o Measurement line color with ‘XYZ’ PMS
o Measurement text color with ‘ABC’ PMS
Here is the script of that.
Thanks in advance...
Kind Regards
HARI

Here is the script of that..

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How to get specific rows from the vo or Iterator in the backing bean?

Hi,
I have to get the specific number of rows from iterator in the backing bean. means i want to get the records from the VO or Iterator only from 5 th record to 10th record its like rownum in SQL.
We can use rownum in VO sql query. but there would be a performance issue with that ...
SO i am trying to get the rows from ADF Iterator once we fetch from DB.
Is it possible to do that ?
Do we have any way to set the pointer to the VO/Iterator like setFirst() and after that setMaxResult to retrun the rows between first and maxresult..
Thanks

If this is for pagination, then af:table offers pagination by design when you set accessmode=RangePaging or RangePagingIncremental in VO. Paginated queries are fired when scroll down in the table. Explore this option before you try out any custom solution
To answer the question,
Note: same logic i have implpemented ADF with EJB ..In EJB Query class we have setFirst(int) and setMaxResult(int) methods...simply i did setFirst(30) and setMaxResult(10)..It worked fine...Theoretically speaking the same can be achieved by setting setRangeStart() on the viewobject(which in turn sets to the default rowset) and by setting max fetch size on VO + accessmode=RangePaging. However when you use table with ADF binding, these will be overridden by the binding layer. If you are not using ADF binding, then the above is same as what you did for JPA entity. Other option is, you build expert mode VO with rownum for this special case, which will work if you dont need to set accessmode=RangePaging for VO.

Getting specific values From a database in Java

Hey,
I'm using XE and building an application in Java to do basic CRUD operations on the database.
One of these operations is searching for a customer by last name (which runs fine) and the result of the query (a customer ID, a first name, and a last name) is displayed in a JTable. I want to be able to click on the record I need and use the customer ID to do an insert on another table CUSTOMER_PURCHASES which maps purchases to customers.
How do I go about doing this knowing that customer ID is an auto-incremented number (using a SEQUENCE)?
I thought about creating a variable in Java of type String called customerID and initialize it like this: String customerID = "CUSTOMER_SEQUENCE.nextval"
But by doing this, I suspect that I'll be getting the next available customerID, not the one from the record I selected.
Can anybody suggest a workaround or lead me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance for the help and sorry about the long post, but I'm a newvbie to this field.

As per raychen's advice, I was able to get the image from the database and bring it over into JavaFX.
In my java class I retrieved the image as follows:
        BufferedImage image = null; //Buffered image coming from database
        InputStream fis = null; //Inputstream
        try{
            ResultSet databaseResults; //Returned results from DB
            stmt = conn.createStatement(); //Create the SQL statement
            databaseResults= stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mydb.`user` WHERE userID = 'username';"); //Execute query
            fis = blah.getBinaryStream(3); //It happens that the 3rd column in my database is where the image is stored (a BLOB)
            image = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(fis); //create the BufferedImaged
        } catch (Exception e){
                 //print error if caught
       return image //My function returns a BufferedImage objectSo in JavaFX, depending on how you have it set up, you essentially get the returned BufferedImage and create the image as follows:
var bufferedImage : BufferedImage = theJavaFunctionThatReturnsABufferedImage();
var newImage : Image = javafx.ext.swing.SwingUtils.toFXImage(bufferedImage); //BufferedImageCheers and Happy New Year.

Get specific Strings from File

Good morning to every one.
I 've got a text file which contains a customer number and an order number, coded as we see in the picture below:
I am trying to develop a tool in Visual Studio, which it reads the file line-by-line and fills a listbox, with the order_number and the customer number. From the file above, I know that the order number are the digits on the first 'column' after the leading-zeros,
until '/', and the customer number are the digits without zeros in the 'third' column before 'CUSTOMER_NUMBER'. My form looks like:
The problem is, that the number of before the fields in file, are not equal in every line.
So, my question is how I can retrieve the 'order number' and 'customer number' from the text file and copy the results to list box, after clicking on 'Get Strings' button, like:
359962656 2238914

Use XMLP to pull only specific pages from larger PDF template?

We need to be able to pull specific pages or a range of pages out of a larger template to use to merge data into and return to users or the selected delivery method. I've seen a lot of information about how to add page numbers to PDF templates / documents, but nothing about how I can pull out specific pages. We know this can be done using iText or some other technology, but does anyone know if this can be done using XML Publisher at all? This is a big issue for us and could determine whether we end up using XMLP at all or go with something else. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi
Publisher is not currently capable of pulling out specific pages from a given PDF,.

Getting an image from a DVD/Quicktime member

Has anyone worked out how to grab a frame still from a DVD or Quicktime member (from within Director, directly or otherwise)
I need to do this on both PC and Mac, but the mac one is more important to me at the moment.
When I try and access the image property of such a member (DVD/Quicktime) it says 3 parameters wanted, which i guess is its way of saying 'no can do'
DVD is hard wired DTS so I'm guessing its just not possible from within director. Does anyone know of a command line utility that could output an image from a DVD?
QT - ???

As you've noted, it's not possible with a DVD from within Director.
With a QuickTime file you can open a MIAW, place a sprite on-stage whose member.directToStage = 0 and grab window.image. You don't need to explicitly open() the window to get its image, or you can open it but somewhere offscreen - assuming you need to do this at runtime and don't want your suers to see this happening.

How to get slideshow pictures from a DVD onto Mac

Hi
I am not sure if I am in the right forum, however I need help with transferring pictures from a dvd slideshow onto my mac iPhoto.
When I see the files on the dvd, they do not seem to want to open as pictures, they are ifo, bup & vob files.
The DVD would have been created on Pinnacle, but as I now have a Mac, I want them to be included with my other photos.
Any help would be appreciated (please use simple terms as I have limited knowledge of how to do things)
Thank you

they are ifo, bup & vob files.
Those are constituent parts of an mpeg2 video file. Doubtful if you can 'reverse engineer' those to single photo files, so I would suggest you take screen shots instead.

Get specific eventId from sensor using browser

Is there a way I can use just a browser (no java) to request only a specific eventId (alarm) from a sensor? XML results are fine. Thanks,
Matt

RDEP uses HTTP. I can, for example, pull a range events from a sensor using a normal browser with the following URL:
https:///cgi-bin/event-server?startTime=0077590400314257&events=evAlert+evError&maxNbrOfEvents=100&alertSeverities=medium&errorSeverities=error&mustHaveAlarmTraits=3,10-15&mustNotHaveAlarmTraits=2
this much is all nicely documented by Cisco in their CIDEE,RDEP, and SDEE specifications. The question though is can I pull a SINGLE known event from a sensor using an event Id?

Hi There I am Facing Some issues in Using OTM with Open Script Please get all information from following detail.

Hi There,
I have created a new Open Script in following way
File-> New-> Functional-> Oracle EBS Forms
I have written some code and tried to link the script with OTM. That time OTM is showing script in Directory while linking. It is properly Linked and working correctly.
Then I have created new script again but Now I have enabled Datatable plugin of script from (Script->Properties->Module->Datatable).
This time when the Script is "NOT Visible" in OTM direcotry when I try to link.
I have wasted my 4 to 5 days to find solution on this .
Please show me some way. Thanks in advance.

Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script. Yeah, it's complicated. The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it. So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc. One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file. Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with. This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image. However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images. Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
var document = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
 // Stepping through each item on the layer.

This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem: Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray". It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.
