I have a script that:
creates a new folder
scans an InDesign document for images
formats the images and copies them to the new folder
When the script is done doing all of this I want it to bring to focus the new folder directory (in Windows).
As of now I am displaying the folder-path in an alert window, but I would rather it open the directory (if it isn't already) so the user can see the new files.
I wish I could just call one of these:
myNewFolder.bringToFront() : works only on program focus, i.e. -- BridgeTalk.bringToFront("photoshop")
myNewFolder.open() : seems to apply only to file I/O operations
myNewFolder.show() : seems to apply only to the Window object
...but none of these work.
EDIT: new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") does not work either...
You have to use the execute method.
myFolder.execute();

How can I enable tab completion in Julia with a function I wrote that loads a file outside of the working directory? Tab completion is super nice, but it only seems to work for files in my working directory. e.g. I store all of my files in a directory foo and I wrote a function to conveniently read these files.
const WHEREMUHFILES = "foo/"
function read_foo_file(filename::String)
readlines(WHEREMUHFILES * filename)
end
However, when I try read_foo_file("ba and hit Tab, tab completion doesn't work, in that it doesn't search the directory WHEREMUHFILES for bar.txt. Is there a way to enable this?
In reality, I have many different types of files organized in different directories, and the read_foo_file populates complex data structures after reading in the files, so a simple work around such as "put your files in your working directory!" is not what I'm looking for.
I'm using Veeva Vault for a project, and I'm unable to get the Related Shared Resource option to work. I'm basically uploading an HTML5 page, and I want to link to a global css file.
This is the Help Guide - http://vaulthelp2.vod309.com/wordpress/applications/promotional-materials-edition/using-clm-integration/
In Veeva, I have a binder presenation, which houses all of my key messages. The key message structure looks like this:
myfilename.zip
myfilename
myfilename.html
myfilename-full.jpg
myfilename-thumb.jpg
assets
css
img
js
I used the Veeva CRM App to get them to display on the iPad. This works fine. I can see my presentation and all of the slides (key messages).
I created a shared folder that looks like this:
[shared]
mysharedname.zip
mysharedname
mysharedname-full.jpg
mysharedname-thumb.jpg
css
img
js
The shared folder is created by Veeva (according to this - https://crmhelp.veeva.com/doc/Content/Print-only_topics/CLM%20Content%20Creation%20Guide.pdf - pg. 70). In Veeva, I added the files as a slide using these options:
Name
Type (Slide)
Country
CLM Properties (Yes)
Product
Renditions
The link to the shared folder in my HTML5 file looks like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../shared/css/main.css">
Once uploaded, I went to the myfilename slide, and checked the Related Shared Resource option, and selected the mysharedname slide. I performed a Force Full Refresh, and synced. The class I set in the mysharedname/css file does not display.
I've tried variations with folder names, added the shared file to the Binder, changed the path of the link to ../shared/mysharedname/css/main.css, etc. with no success.
I've used test.salesforce.com in the past to upload key messages and set shared files. However, I'm unfamiliar with how that's accomplished using Veeva Vault. I'm certain I'm either naming the files incorrectly, or not entering the key message correctly.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks.
It turns out there were two issues. For some unknown reason, the file didn't post properly. Tech support couldn't determine the reason, but suggesting creating a new shared file - which worked!
Also, in posting the new shared file, I noticed the Distribution Package (zip file) keep "disappearing" in the upload process. So, I just re-attached it (in Veeva Vault - INFORMATION > Renditions).
Oh, and the shared file should be outside of the binder.
To link a shared resource in veeva vault please follow the rules for example
./shared/css/base.css
Shared zip structure should be
shared.zip css
base.css
shared_folder_structure
and you need to add the shared resource to the main file perimeter

I want to make a batch file that will ask user for input, than write that input to a specific position in an already written txt file(called commands.txt which contains query) and call sqlite3 < commands.txt
I need this so inside the commands.txt where the query is, in LIKE 'userinput' i will add the users choice (parameter)
Although your question is not really specific enough and verging on the kind of inappropriate question that for stackoverflow (it does not include code), as hinted at by the comment, I'll take it at face value and assume there is much you need help with.
First let me deal with the question "I need to make a batch file"
A batch file is a simple text file with the extension .bat. You can create it with a text editor like notepad. We do not know what kind of system you have (Windows, linux, Mac etc) but lets assume Windows as you asked for a batch file. We do not know which version of windows (7 or 8 etc), So I'll try and be generic.
All windows machines come with a simpe text file editor called notepad. You can open this by typing notepad into the search box on windows 7 or 8. Lets start with a simple batch file:
:: This is a batch file
#echo off
echo Hello World
exit /b
Type (or paste) those 4 lines into notepad. Now select the file menu and select Save As, now in the Save As Type: selector choose All Files. In the File name: box type the desired name with the bat extension, such as doit.bat. Ensure you choose a suitable directory to place your new batch file. Leave the encoding as ASCII. Click Save. You have now made your first batch file.
Now you need to execute that batch file. Using the Windows File Explorer find the folder where you saved that batch file. While viewing the folder, hold down the shift key on the keyboard and then right click in the background of the folder and select Open Command window here. You will now have a command prompt window. You can now execute your new batch file by typing its name doit. It will display:
Hello World
OK - Now you have created your first working batch file.
Now for the next part; Asking the user for input. This is done with the set /p command. Add this to your batch file (before the exit line):
Set /P Like="Give me your input: "
echo Your input was: %Like%
That has solved the second part. Now the third part, edit the commands.txt file. If you do an internet search for a similar problem (editing files in batch files) you might find this help page: http://www.ousob.com/ng/edlin/ng96d9.php. This shows a generic way of changing any text string to any other in a file using EDLIN from a batch file; unfortunately EDLIN (and EDIT) are no longer included in windows so these batch files are not much help.
A search of stackoverflow finds similar queries which contain an answer for you.
So now you have all the parts of the answer:
How to make a batch file
How to prompt the user for input
How to replace lines of text in the commands.txt
You should be able to put it together and get it to work....
Is there a way to open vim in a new shell window or tab? I'm used to doing $ mate file, which opens the file in a new window.
I prefer having one 'central shell' where I issue commands and edit files in other windows or tabs, as necessary. How do people normally open vim files locally?
from inside vim, use one of the following
open a new window below the current one:
:new filename.ext
open a new window beside the current one:
:vert new filename.ext
You can do so from within vim, using its own windows or tabs.
One way to go is to utilize the built-in file explorer; activate it via :Explore, or :Texplore for a tabbed interface (which I find most comfortable).
:Texplore (and :Sexplore) will also guard you from accidentally exiting the current buffer (editor) on :q once you're inside the explorer.
To toggle between open tabs, use gt or gT (next tab and previous tab, respectively).
See also Using tab pages on the vim wiki.
I use this subtle alias:
alias vim='gnome-terminal -- vim'
-x is deprecated now. We need to use -- instead
If you don't mind using gVim, you can launch a single instance, so that when a new file is opened with it it's automatically opened in a new tab in the currently running instance.
to do this you can write: gVim --remote-tab-silent file
You could always make an alias to this command so that you don't have to type so many words.
For example I use linux and bash and in my ~/.bashrc file I have:
alias g='gvim --remote-tab-silent'
so instead of doing $ mate file I do: $ g file
I'm using the following, though it's hardcoded for gnome-terminal. It also changes the CWD and buffer for vim to be the same as your current buffer and it's directory.
:silent execute '!gnome-terminal -- zsh -i -c "cd ' shellescape(expand("%:h")) '; vim' shellescape(expand("%:p")) '; zsh -i"' <cr>
Check out gVim. You can launch that in its own window.
gVim makes it really easy to manage multiple open buffers graphically.
You can also do the usual :e to open a new file, CTRL+^ to toggle between buffers, etc...
Another cool feature lets you open a popup window that lists all the buffers you've worked on.
This allows you to switch between open buffers with a single click.
To do this, click on the Buffers menu at the top and click the dotted line with the scissors.
Otherwise you can just open a new tab from your terminal session and launch vi from there.
You can usually open a new tab from terminal with CTRL+T or CTRL+ALT+T
Once vi is launched, it's easy to open new files and switch between them.
I've createad a rule to transform any file to PDF and copy this one to another folder.
So i can add a file named: "test.rtf" and then the rule create a test.pdf into folder "PDF"..
Till here its ok. If i add a file through alfresco (add content button) it works perfectly...
By the way, on the system that i've developed when i try to add a file then i get my file .rtf correctly in the folder, but the pdf file converted and copied goes without any content...
If i send a rtf file with a table with 10 rows and into the rows i right "testing" then the pdf created goes with the table, and with 10 empty rows...
Someone knows the reason for that?
Im not sure, but maybe when i send the file by the system alfresco starts to convert and copy before completing to create the rtf... someone already got some problem like this one?
The problem you're getting in is that Alfresco first creates an empty file with all the meta-data and then updates the file with the associated content.
So you can do 2 things:
1: create a rule which is triggered on update, instead on create/inbound
2: create a rule which triggers a Javascript file, which will do the transformation and will check on the content size.
Hence it's better to create a rule which checks the content on size.
Create a JavaScript file in Data Dictionary/Scripts.
Check the JavaScript API
Something like this:
if (document != null && document.size > 0){
document.transformDocument("application/rtf");
}
