Using AppleScript to step through a txt file.

I am new to AppleScript but not programming.
I have a program in AppleScript that currently takes my integers
Ip, user, passwrd and uses the in terminal to gain access to our clients machines and do certain tasks.
I would like to have a txt file filled with the ip addresess so that I can simply step through the file.
I can read in from the txt file but it simply reads the entire thing and crashes out my program.
Can someone please help?
Thank You.

I can but I cannot.
Text file would be as follows
10.10.10.20
10.10.10.21
10.10.10.25
10.20.45.200
84.30.26.79
So on and so forth for all the IPs of our clients machines.
The script has the variables as follows.
set acct to "admin"
set pass to "password"
set addr to "10.10.10.10"
set rightServer to "Connected to " & addr & "? If not fix it!"
#Login Process
activate application "Terminal"
delay 1
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "ssh " & acct & "@" & addr
tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
delay 2
activate application "Terminal"
Then the script goes on from there to do some other things.
I need help with the login process.
I would like to set it to a txt file and watch as it steps through the file so its more automated.

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate. What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis. Does anyone know how to find out this information?

Tagging words through a .txt file

Hi all,
We have been looking all over the internet for a script that we can use/buy. But cannot find it anywhere.
We have a rather large document and an external word list in a .txt file. This list contains words that need to be in the index at the end of the document.
Instead of filling in a couple of hundred words and linking them by hand, it would be great if there is a script that can handle this.
We have looked in to Indexmatic2 (http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2011/07/indexmatic-2-public-release-and-user-s-guide ), but this script generates its own index list and does not create links to the original words in the document.
We have found a script that can create index links from colored words in the document.
So does anyone know if there is a script floating around that can load an external .txt wordlist and either color or add a character style to words in a document?
Or even a script that does what we need in 1 go?
Thanks

Thedesmodus,
there is a script by Martin Fischer at www.hilfdirselbst.ch (a swizz-german website) that could fit your needs. You can download it if you choose to be a premium member which requires a small fee. It's written for InDesign CS3 but it should run with CS4 or CS5. I tested it with a small list of words and it ran fine with InDesign CS5.

JMF Player: Stepping through an .mov file

I have an applet that plays an .mov file and I would like to step through the file one frame at a time on command. Does any body know how I could do so? I also need the ability to start at a certain frame and play from that location.
Any Ideas????
Thanks,
Andrew

I figured it out!! They actually have an example that I never noticed before that you can look at. If you are interested go to this address:

Using AppleScript to create folders and place files in them

Hi guys,
I've been reading through the forum for the better part of the last 6 hours wracking my brain trying to figure out how to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I've been playing around with Automator and also trying to decipher some Apple Script samples that were posted on here, but I'm really having no luck at all. I'm sure you've all been there where you feel like you're on an endless search to solve a problem and it feels like there's no hope. I've tried every single possible thing I can and I'm getting close, but it's never quite right.
Here's what I'm trying to do, and hopefully some kind soul will help me out. I'm deseperately trying to figure this out, and any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!
I have a bunch of PDF files that I scan, in the hundreds. After I've scanned them I'm left with something like this:
1234567_Elephant.pdf
1234567_Duck.pdf
1234567_Cat.pdf
1234567_Cat_01.pdf
1234567_Dog.pdf
3431233_Elephant.pdf
3431233_Dog.pdf
3431233_Dog_01.pdf
3431233_Duck.pdf
etc...
So they have a 7 digit ID, then the file name which is always one of the 4 options (I'm just using the animals as examples, but they would be other words).
What I'd want the script to do is categorize these into folders based on the ID number, and then based on the "animal" and then the files within them. Note, some files have an _01 or _02 etc... appended to them. I don't know if this makes a difference.
So after running the script I'd love to see
1234567 (Folder)
     Elephant (Subfolder)
          1234567_Elephant.pdf (File)
     Duck (Subfolder)
          1234567_Duck.pdf (File)
     Cat (Subfolder)
          1234567_Cat.pdf (File)
          1234567_Cat_01.pdf (File)
     Dog (Subfolder)
          1234567_Dog.pdf (File)
3431233
     Elephant
          3431233_Elephant.pdf
     Dog
          3431233_Dog.pdf
          3431233_Dog_01.pdf
     Duck
          3431233_Duck.pdf

well, using a couple of stock handlers I had lying around, and making the following assumptions:
that an underscore is always the delimiter used
that the file name is always a single word like 'dog' or 'cat' (if you have multiple word file names, the script needs to be modified some)
this should do what you ask:
set mainFolder to (choose folder) as text
tell application "System Events"
-- get all the unsorted files, and loop through
          set unsortedFiles to every file of folder mainFolder whose visible is true
          repeat with thisFile in unsortedFiles
-- split the file name on underscores and periods
                    set fileNameBits to my tid(name of thisFile, {"_", "."})
-- first item of list is id, make/get correct folder
                    set IDFolder to my checkForFolder(mainFolder, item 1 of fileNameBits)
-- second item of list is file name, make/get correct folder in id folder
                    set groupFolder to my checkForFolder(IDFolder, item 2 of fileNameBits)
-- move file
move thisFile to groupFolder
          end repeat
end tell
to checkForFolder(fParent, fName)
-- subroutine checks for folder, creating it if it doesn't exist
          tell application "System Events"
                    if not (exists folder fName of folder fParent) then
                              set output to path of (make new folder at end of folder fParent with properties {name:fName})
                    else
                              set output to (path of (folder fName of folder fParent))
                    end if
          end tell
          return output
end checkForFolder
on tid(input, delim)
-- subroutine for handling text item delimiters
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input

Using Applescript to play midi or mp3 files.

I'm trying to work out how to write an Applescript program to help me with music. My idea is to have Applescript play me - lets say the first two notes of a midi song and me type the answer to what it is.
Is this a difficult task - ive done some scripting but only with microsoft word and not with sound.
Is there a set command to play a midi file from within applescript, and is there a way to set the command to play only the first few notes of a midi file (say the first 5 notes).
Any help would be really appreciated here.
Thanks
Mark

This is a more accurate idea of what Im looking to do.

Is this a difficult task - ive done some scripting but only with microsoft word and not with sound. Ive got filemaker pro and office 2008 so would look to use either of these programs to build a database. I've got abletron as well but if there is an easier way to record midi melodies with an external usb keyboard i'd like to know.
Is there a set command to play a midi file from within applescript, and is there a way to set the command to play only the first few notes of a midi file (say the first 2-3 notes).
Any help would be really appreciated here. Ive just downloaded play sound - but am more interested in seeing if I can play a certain selection of notes, and im not sure i can do this with PS.
Id ultimately like to build up a database of melodies - using filemaker pro, and associate each midi melody with a database record i.e. author of melody, date written etc.

AppleScript puts control characters in txt file, inflating it enormously

Hi all,
I've come across a strange problem. I have an AppleScript file that puts up a dialog box at regular intervals asking me to write down what I am doing (to create an activity log). The file is saved to my Documents folder. This has been working just fine for several months (years), and now, all of a sudden, AppleScript fails on me. The reason is, the log file is inflated out of proportions because it contains hidden control characters (gremlins) between each letter and zillions of them between words and lines. Opening one of these files makes TextEdit go crazy ('Application not responding'). I discovered these gremlins when I opened the document in Classic mode with Word 5 (the best application ever to have been produced by MS, which allows me to remove them and make the file palatable to TextEdit again).
But that doesn't solve the problem: Every entry continues to be inserted with another load of gremlins, and I can't understand why. I deleted preferences both for TextEdit and AppleScript, and I performed regular disk maintenance.
TextEdit is set to save plain text files, end-of-line is Macintosh style, character set is Western Mac OS Roman. It's always been like this before when it worked ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

The solution to my problem can be found in the AppleScript forum here:

Using spotlight to search through stored media files

i have an xserve that will only be used to store media files such as .dv and .mxf. I add spotlight comments to the media files before storing them in the xserve, however, when i use spotlight to search the server it does not work. Is it because it is a security issue or do i have to turn spotlight on in the server?

Using Spotlight to search a server is something that's coming with Leopard. To avoid the TOS gestapo for slamming me for posting about future products, I will link to Apple's page for "Leopard Server sneak peek" that talks about this very fact:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/spotlightserver.html
Your options right now for searching a server are to use Apple Remote Desktop, as Tiger does not include the ability to search machines across the network via Spotlight.

How to read the second line in a .txt file with bufferedReader?

hi,
i am not the best in speaking english and programming java :)
so, just try to make sense of my question:
Im using a BufferedReader to read a .txt file.
the .txt file has 5+ different lines, and each line has 6 tokens (separated with ; )
My java file has 6 textFields and each textfield is filled with one of the 6 different tokens.
and my problem is:
I want my buffered reader to read the next line (with 6 new different tokens) by pressing a button.
if somethings not understandable, just ask :)

maybe its easier to help me, when i publish my code, so here it is:

As you can see the code specifies the header row separately and appends it in int_head.
What if I have 76 fields or more? I cant be specifying each like that.
Is there any other way to do this? To move the 76 field headers into int_head?
Pls help.
Thanks!

I want to open a txt file and output data through an AO-using DAQmx for PXI

I have a PXI running a 8145RT CPU. I have a PX6040E Multifunction DAQ card installed in the PXI. I want to program an application where I open a txt file (existing in one of the the RT machines' folders), read the first row, and output its data through an AO channel. The drivers I should use is DAQmx v7.1, and the Labview RT v.7
Any idea?

What exactly are you having problems with? Reading a text file can be done a number of ways. Look at the File I/O palette and check out Read Lines From File or Read Characters From File. There are string to number conversion functions on the string palette (i.e. Scan From String). There are also numberous shipping examples on using DAQmx for analog out. If you have a specific problem or question, please post back with additional details.

Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
~EDIT~
The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
Load vs Displ - Displ (inches) Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)
3.736323 273.751906
Also, for some reason it won't let me attach my project file. It's a .seproj extension but the forum thinks it's 1k in size and "empty"

Want to use old research program that worked through firefox chrome folder via modification of installed-chrome.txt file

there is a program (ESP, the Experience Sampling Program) that allows easy development and installation of research protocols via palm pilots. The program runs in mozilla-based browsers--Mozilla or Firefox. After the program is installed, it is accessed by hitting the URL chrome://espdesktop/content/desktop.xul. Previously, this required editing the file "installed-chrome.txt" file which was located into the chrome subfolder. The newest versions of firefox have done away with this subfolder. Not being a programmer, I am having trouble figuring out how to access the program now.

First thing I noticed is you are running on an outdated/older version of Firefox & not the current version. Download it from here:
* At the top of the Firefox window click the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select About Firefox. For Windows XP: Go to the Help menu and select About Firefox.
* The About Firefox window will open and Firefox will begin checking for updates. If updates are available, they will begin downloading automatically. If Firefox is already up to date, just close the About Firefox window.
* When the updates are downloaded and ready to be installed, click Restart to Update. Firefox will be restarted and the updates will be installed.
