Using Excel 14.3.7 to create a text file, for saving as a .csv file. Problems with commas.
I have created a text file in Excel, to be saved as a .csv file and uploaded to an online database. The file is rejected. When I open it in textedit I can see that the empty cells ( of which there are several in each row, all in the same columns) contain commas. It looked to me as though this could be the result of tabbing across empty cells. So I created a dummy file with a couple of lines where I tabbed across the whole row including the empty cells, and a couple of lines where I clicked in each individual cell in which I wanted to enter text. Opened in textedit there is no difference between the two type of entry. What can I do to stop Excel or .csv format entering commas in blank cells? Suggestions in simple English appreciated.

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites? This is so I can keep my free ones for personal projects but also so they can pay for their own hosting. I am happy to set it all up for them but not sure what to do.
Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?
Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps! -
Creating Dynamic Text Field for Flash CS3 in Illustrator CS3
I've created a series of buttons in an illustration and made
them into movie clip symbols in Illustrator. I then created some
text fields for the button labels and assigned them as dynamic text
in the Flash Text panel in Illustrator.
When I import the illustration into Flash and test the movie,
I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.text::TextField@d18cef9 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at
flash.display::Sprite/flash.display:Sprite::constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite$iinit()
at flash.display::MovieClip$iinit()
at menu2_fla::MainTimeline$iinit()
It seems like Flash is misinterpreting the text fields
brought in from Illustrator as Movie Clips?Download the TinkSpark source from http://code.google.com/p/tink/source/checkout and add the package to your project:
Then write the following code:
import ws.tink.core.Library;
import ws.tink.events.LibraryEvent;
import ws.tink.managers.LibraryManager;
private function loadLibrary():void
var library:Library = LibraryManager.libraryManager.createLibrary( "assetsLibrary" );
library.addEventListener( LibraryEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, onAssetsLibraryLoadCompleteHandler, false, 0, true );
library.loadSWF("board.swf" ); //provide the path of board.swf, pls note board.swf is alos exported as AS3.0
private function onAssetsLibraryLoadCompleteHandler( event:LibraryEvent ):void
EventDispatcher( event.currentTarget ).removeEventListener( event.type, arguments.callee );
var library:Library = LibraryManager.libraryManager.getLibrary( "assetsLibrary" );
var AssetScore:Class = library.getDefinition( "Score" );
var score:* = new AssetScore() as Sprite;
score.scoreDisplay.text = "100";
addChild( score );

Hello! Can't open an IDML file. ID file was created in CC (10). It is a 100 page (50 spreads) doc that is one big table. It was created in CC (10) and saved as an IDML file. I have CS6 and when I try to open it, it shuts down ID almost instantly. The file was created on a MAC and I am trying to open it on a MAC. Any/all advice is greatly appreciated as I am up against a deadline with this unopened file! Many thanks in advance, Diane
There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.

Location/directory used by JRE, for saving the temporary Internet files
Hello sir,
I am working on a project( in JavaFX ) which takes the URL of a streaming FLV video( eg: http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_11810873001_09c01923-00.flv ) as input and plays it in Media Player component.
I have successfully played the streaming video, by taking the aid of sample project, Media Box( http://javafx.com/samples/MediaBox/ ).
Now I am interested in knowing the location/directory, where these temporary Internet files will be downloaded to. Please let me know, the location/directory used by JRE( on both Windows and Linux ) for saving the temporary Internet files. Also let me know, if there is any possibility of changing that location/directory.
Thanks for any help, in advance.
Edited by: prabhakar9885 on Aug 22, 2010 2:29 AMYou should avoid posting the same message multiple times...
By definition, streaming is supposed to play the received movie data on the fly, without intermediary file. Now, it depends on implementation, if that's real streaming, etc., so in practice there might be a temp file, or not.
But this temp location will be, obviously, highly dependent on the current system (even between WinXP and Win7, for example). You can find the answer experimentally, eg. on Windows by using Sysinternals' Process Monitor application (did that to find out where Storage files go), but it is brittle.
I doubt there is (an official) way to know that from within the JavaFX application... -
Writing to specific cells of existing Excel file and saving as a new file using LV 8.6
Hi all,
I am new to LV and am currently tasked to create a program that can open an existing excel file, input data in the program that will be written to a specific cell in the excel file and then saving the current edited file as a new file.
I have browsed through all the forums but I am unable to view the examples sent in them as I am using LV 8.6 which is why I am still having trouble visualizing how to create a program like this. Can anyone help me and mentor me how to write this program in this version of LV? I do not have a microsoft office toolkit hence another approach could be preferred. Thank you.
Aaron
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thank you for helping me on this. However I do not really understand how does ActiveEx work. I have created a Vi according to the picture that you provided but there was some error in running the file.
Below is my own VI that I am trying to create. It consists of multiple string inputs which I am trying to input each into an existing file. I have created a separate txt file which has the cell numbers. I am trying to allocate each string into each respective cell in an existing file. I am currently having the problem of doing this "allocation" of each string as I do not have the microsoft office tool kit. Is there any other way for me to do so?
Also, I would like to save the newly created file as a new file with the name as seen in my VI. How would I be able to do it?
Please help me as I am stuck here but do not know how to continue

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple id
as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of. -
How can I load an Excel File to a pipe-delimited .csv File
In SSIS I am attempting to process a .xls File and I have a C# script that is reading the .xls File. My issue is this...I have some fields that have an embedded comma in them. Those fields are designated by a double quote though ". I have included my
C# Script. I'm just not sure if I have to indicate to it that there is a field delimeter. The " double-quote is only utilized when there is indeed an embedded comma...like "Company Name, Inc"...or "Main St., Apt. 101"

How to create a text tag that shows up in a file but not on the sceen.
I need some help, I'm a newbie with enough skill to be dangerous. If someone can point me in the right direction has to how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible
in a text editor but not the text file. That would be great. If you wish to show some code examples that's OK, but if not I can stumble through and learn while doing it from your directions on how to get it done.
I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do; using the old desktop pub program Ventura. They had (what I'm calling a tag) tags in from of ASCII text in a file to tell the program what it was and what to do with it, I. E.; "Title@this
is the title text" the next line could be "Body@this is body text". When loaded the "Title@" would not be there on the screen.
I'm trying to create some text that uses a similar concept but not for formatting of text like Ventura.
I want to be able to highlight some text in an editor and then have it place some sort of tag for the highlighted text so that I could use it to do something upon that text and only that text; in concept the text "Bob Brush was a painter." I would
highlight Bob Brush and somehow assign a tag that would be "name" and then highlight "painter" and be tagged with "job".
The text file would then have something in it to distinguish "Bob Brush" and "painter" as what each is name and job. (as a note I'm not trying to make a database or form just using this simplified concept to get my idea across
because I get to wordy).
Thanks in advance BK
blkHi bik,
>> how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible in a text editor but not the text file.
It is unclear to me. Like you mentioned F keys, how does it work for? And Could you show us some code with a simple sample or a capture? It could be better to help us understand more.
In addition, I found a related thread

I've searched around, and perhaps I've missed it, but I have a specific problem that just started today (4/1/2014). I have 3 PCs in a local home network and they all have been sharing things fine so far. PC1 is my main storage computer (Windows
7), another is a laptop (Windows 7) and a third is a laptop (Windows 8.1).
On the Windows 7 laptop, when I open Windows Explorer and navigate my way to a file I want to open (which is stored on PC1) and double click on the file to open it USED to just open using the right program (PowerPoint2007) which I have fully installed on
the Win 7 laptop. Note also that "Microsoft Office (2010)" came pseudo-loaded on the laptop, but I have set the default for all PPT and PPTX files to be opened using PowerPoint2007. I've had a few hiccups in the past where this undesired,
not-fully-loaded version tries to get in the way of me opening files with PowerPoint2007, but right now all files are set to open using PowerPoint2007.
So I'm not going on the internet, I'm not using IE, and this is only happening with PPT and PPTX files and only on my Win 7 laptop. DOC/DOCX and XLS/XLSX files open fine with the 2007 version of the Word and Excel respectively. All files, including
the PPT and PPTX files on PC1 are openable without trouble on the Win8 laptop with PowerPoint2007.
Any idea why this would suddenly start happening?Sorry, I should have said that I'm having this issue on Win7 Enterprise SP1 and not XP.
I'm having trouble understanding how cacheing is related to how windows resolves this security violation, and why changing the Internet's custom security settings makes the caching problem go away? You are correct in that running a mdb file from
the desktop does not produce the warning; however this is a database housed on a shared drive so that the database is accessable to other users...
unfortunately unblock is not presented as an option in the file properties, and even if it was that seems a bit impractical to do for every single zip file on a share drive which would accumulate more files as multiple users add to it.
Also: I have two computers with the same settings in both the trusted sites and the Launch apps, but one opens fine and the other does not. -

Edited by: user13267745 on Aug 19, 2010 12:37 AMHi Gregg,
You can create one transformation from the DataStore to itself. In the "Technical" rules group, set 0RECORDMODE = 'X' (before image) or 'R' (reverse). Therefore, when you execute its corresponding DTP, all existing records shouldl be set to zero.
Then, as a second step, you can execute the DTP which is related to the transformation between the DataStore and the DataSource, thus loading the new records.
I hope this helps you.
