So I have this script on Powershell which generates a csv that is used on a Power BI template. When it is done with the csv it is supposed to open the template and show a report with the data updated but I still need to refresh it by hand.
Edit: Forget it. The template opens updated but I still don't know if I can generate the report with commands
I have thought about using a "refresh update" and upload the report to the Power BI server but I don't want it to be only avaliable online.
This is my script (very basic version since its long):
#lots of commands to make the csv
Invoke-Expression "file"
The commands generate a clean csv which can be used with a common import but in R they appear as empty fields - probably because idk how to use R properly.
Is there any way I can do what I want using this script without having to upload the report first?
Thanks for your answers!
Since nobody is going to answer me, I'll give my final solution which is pretty bad but I want to close this asap so if anyone's having the same problem they can find a fast temporal solution.
My script to make tests:
##This creates a table which is used on a Power BI template
$num=0
$numpro=Read-Host -Prompt "Enter number of products"
echo("Name,Amount,Price") > products.txt
DO {
$num=$num + 1
$product=Read-Host -Prompt "Name of the product: "
$amount=Read-Host -Prompt "Amount we have of the product: "
$price=Read-Host -Prompt "Price for each product unit: "
echo("$product,$amount,$price") >> products.txt
}while($numpro -gt $num)
import-csv products.txt -delimiter "," | Export-csv products.csv
##clean lines
cat products.csv | where { $_ -match "#"} > delete.txt
$erase=Get-Content delete.txt
cat products.csv | %{$_ -replace "$erase",""} > def.txt
GC def.txt | where{$_ -ne ""} > products.csv
rm products.txt
rm delete.txt
rm def.txt
Invoke-Expression "full path to our .pbit"
Just use the script a first time without using "Invoke-Expression" to create a first table that you will use to create the template.
After creating the template, just use it full.
Btw: You have to use absolute paths on Power BI so don't change the file that contains the table and, if you do that, be sure to change the source and save the template again.

I want to remove lots of temporary PS datasets with dataset name like MYTEST.**, but still can't find an easy way to handle the task.
I meant to use a Shell command below to remove them
cat "//'dataset.list'"| xargs -I '{}' tsocmd "delete '{}'"
However, first I have to save the dataset list into a PS dataset or Unix file. In Unix, we can redirect output of ls command into a text file: "ls MYTEST.* > dslist", but on TSO or ISPF panel, seems no simple command to do that.
Anyone has any clue on this? Your comment would be appreciated.
Rexx ISPF option is probably the easiest and can be used in the future, but options include:
Use the save command in ispf 3.4 to save to a file, then use a rexx program on the file created by the save command
listcat command, in particular
listcat lvl(MYTEST) ofile(ddname)
then write a rexx program to do the actual delete
Alternatively you can use the ISPF services LMDINIT, LMDLISTY & LMDFREE in a rexx program running under ISPF i.e.
/* Rexx ispf program to process datasets */
Address ispexec
"LMDINIT LISTID(lidv) LEVEL(MYTEST)"
"LMDLIST LISTID("lidv") OPTION(list) dataset(dsvar) stats(yes)"
do while rc = 0
/* Delete or whatever */
end
"LMDFREE LISTID("lidv")"
For all these methods you need to fully qualify the first High level qualifier.
Learning what Rexx / ISPF will serve you into the future. In the ISPF Editor, you can use the model command to get Templates / information for all the ISPF commands:
Command ====> Model LMDINIT
will add a template for the lmdinit command. There are templates for rexx, cobol, pl1, ISPF-panels, ISPF-skeletons messages etc.
Thanks Bruce for the comprehensive answer. According to Bruce's tips, I just worked out a one-line Shell command as below:
tsocmd "listcat lvl(MYTEST) " | grep -E "MYTEST(\..+)+" | cut -d' ' -f3 | xargs -I '{}' tsocmd "delete '{}'"
Above command works perfectly.
Update - The IDCAMS DELETE command has had the MASK operand for a while. You use it like:
DELETE 'MYTEST.**' MASK

I have a list of files with their full path in a single text file. I would like to open them all at once in Windows. The file extension will tell Windows what programme to use. Can I do this straight from the command line or would I need to make a batch file? Tips on how to write the batch file appreciated.
My text file looks like the following:
J:/630/630A/SZ299_2013-04-19_19_36_52_M01240.WAV
J:/630/630A/SZ299_2013-04-19_20_15_39_M02312.WAV
J:/630/630A/SZ299_2013-04-19_21_48_07_M04876.WAV
etc
The .WAV extension is associated with Adobe Audition, which is a sound editing programme. When each path is hyperlinked in an Excel column, they can be opened with one click. Clicking on the first link will open both Audition and the hyperlinked file in it. Clicking another hyperlink will open the next file in the same instance of the programme. But this is too slow for hundreds of paths. If I open many files straight from R, e.g.
shell("J:/630/630A/SZ299_2013-04-19_19_36_52_M01240.WAV", intern=TRUE)
shell("J:/630/630A/SZ299_2013-04-19_20_15_39_M02312.WAV", intern=TRUE)
etc
each file will be opened in a new instance of the programme, which is nasty. So batch seems preferable.
for /f "delims=" %%a in (yourtextflename) do "%%a"
should do this as a batch line.
You could run this directly from the prompt if you like, but you'd need to replace each %% with % to do so.
It's a lot easier to put the code into a batch:
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%1) do "%%a"
then you'd just need to enter
thisbatchfilename yourtextfilename
and yourtextfilename will be substituted for %1. MUSCH easier to type - and that's what batch is all about - repetitive tasks.
Following on from this post, which uses the identify function in R to create a subset selection of rows (from a larger dataset called "testfile") by clicking on coordinates in a scatterplot. One of the columns contains the list of Windows paths to original acoustic datafiles. The last line below will open all files in the listed paths in only one instance of the programme linked to the Windows file extension.
selected_rows = with(testfile, identify(xvalue, yvalue))
SEL <-testfile[selected_rows,]
for (f in 1:nrow(SEL)){system2("open",toString(SEL[f,]$path))}
Im going to build a Silex/Symfony2 project and I have been looking around for a method to generate XLIFF/PO/YAML translation files based on texts-to-be-translated inside the project but not found any instruction or documentation on it.
My question is: Is there an automated way to generate translation file(s) in specific format for a Symfony2/Silex project?
If yes, please tell me how to generate the file then update the translation after that.
If no, please tell me how to create translation file(s) then adding up more text for my project? I am looking for an editor desktop based or web-based instead of using normal editor such as Transifex, GetLocalization (but they dont have option to create a new file or add more text)
After a long time searching the internet, I found a good one:
https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSTranslationBundle
I see you've found a converter, but to answer your first question about generating your initial translation file -
If you have Gettext installed on your system you could generate a PO file from your "texts-to-be-translated inside the project". The command line program xgettext will scan the source files looking for whatever function you're using.
Example:
To scan PHP files for instances of the trans method call as shown here you could use the following command -
find . -name "*.php" | xargs xgettext --language=PHP --keyword=trans --output=messages.pot
To your question about editors:
You could use any PO editor, such as POEdit, to manage your translations, but as you say you eventually need to convert the PO file to either an XLIFF or YAML language pack for Symfony.
I see you've already found a converter tool. You may also like to try the one I wrote for Loco. It supports PO to YAML, and PO to XLIFF
Workaround for busy people (UNIX)
You can run the following command in the Terminal:
$ grep -rEo --no-filename "'.+'\|\btrans\b" templates/ > output.txt
This will output the list of messages to translate:
'Please provide your email'|trans
'Phone'|trans
'Please provide your phone number'|trans
...
I mean almost.. But you can usually do some work from here...
Obviously you must tweak the command to your liking (transchoice, double-quotes instead of single...).
Not ideal but can help!
grep options
grep -R, -r, --recursive: Read all files under each directory, recursively this is equivalent to the -d recurse option.
grep -E, --extended-regexp: Interpret PATTERN as an extended regular expression.
grep -o, --only-matching: Show only the part of a matching line that matches PATTERN.
grep -h, --no-filename: Suppress the prefixing of filenames on output when multiple files are searched.

For a website I'm working on I want to be able to automatically update the "This page was last modified:" section in the footer as I'm doing my nightly git commit. Essentially I plan on writing a shell script to run at midnight each night which will do all of my general server maintenance. Most of these tasks I already know how to automate, but I have a file (footer.php) which is included in every page and displays the date the site was last updated. I want to be able to recursively look through my website and check the timestamp on every file, then if any of these were edited after the date in footer.php I want to update this date.
All I need is a UNIX command that will recursively iterate through my files and return ONLY the date of the last modification. I don't need file names or what changes were made, I just need to know a single day (and hopefully time) that the most recently updated file was changed.
I know using "ls -l" and "cut" I could iterate through every folder to do this, but I was hoping for a quicker-running and easier command. Preferably a single-line shell command (possibly with a -R parameter)
The find outputs all the access times in Unix format, then sort and take the biggest.
Converting into whatever date format is wanted is left as an exercise for the reader:
find /path -type f -iname "*.php" -printf "%T#" | sort -n | tail -1
GNU find
find /path -type -f -iname "*.php" -printf "%T+"
check the find man page to play with other -printf specifiers.
You might want to look at a inotify script that updates the footer every time any other file is modified, instead of looking all through the file system for new updates.
I'm trying to use the Unix command paste, which is like a column-appending form of cat, and came across a puzzle I've never known how to solve in Unix.
How can you use the outputs of two different programs as the input for another program (without using temporary files)?
Ideally, I'd do this (without using temporary files):
./progA > tmpA;
./progB > tmpB; paste tmpA tmpB
This seems to come up relatively frequently for me, but I can't figure out how to use the output from two different programs (progA and progB) as input to another without using temporary files (tmpA and tmpB).
For commands like paste, simply using paste $(./progA) $(./progB) (in bash notation) won't do the trick, because it can read from files or stdin.
The reason I'm wary of the temporary files is that I don't want to have jobs running in parallel to cause problems by using the same file; ensuring a unique file name is sometimes difficult.
I'm currently using bash, but would be curious to see solutions for any Unix shell.
And most importantly, am I even approaching the problem in the correct way?
Cheers!
You do not need temp files under bash, try this:
paste <(./progA) <(./progB)
See "Process Substitution" in the Bash manual.
Use named pipes (FIFOs) like this:
mkfifo fA
mkfifo fB
progA > fA &
progB > fB &
paste fA fB
rm fA fB
The process substitution for Bash does a similar thing transparently, so use this only if you have a different shell.
Holy moly, I recent found out that in some instances, you can get your process substitution to work if you set the following inside of a bash script (should you need to):
set +o posix
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/shell-process-redirection
From link:
"Process substitution is not a POSIX compliant feature and so it may have to be enabled via: set +o posix"
I was stuck for many hours, until I had done this. Here's hoping that this additional tidbit will help.
Works in all shells.
