I need to create an api where user will provide indesign file and I need to extract text from it.
Basically it can be done this way:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
app = Dispatch('InDesign.Application.CS6')
doc = app.Open(r"d:\text.indd")
contents = ""
for story in doc.stories: contents += story.contents + "\n"
f = open(r"d:\text.txt", "w", encoding="utf8")
f.write(contents)
f.close()
doc.Close()
But perhaps there can be glitches with special symbols. I believe it makes sense to use the native Javascript Extendscript for this task. Something like this:
var doc = app.open(File("d:/text.indd"));
var stories = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
var contents = "";
for (var i=0; i<stories.length; i++) contents += stories[i].contents + "\n";
var file = File("d:/text.txt");
file.open("w");
file.write(contents);
file.close();
doc.close();

Does anyone know of or can help me figure out how to create a script for InDesign to do the Split Screen command, this is found under menu selection Window > Arrange > Split Window. Thank you!
Basically this should work:
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Split Window").invoke()
But actually it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I can't tell why.
It works more or less stable as a toggle split/unsplit this way:
try {
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Split Window").invoke()
} catch(e) {
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Unsplit Window").invoke()
}
Probably there is some property, which you can read and run split command only if the window is not splitted already. I don't know.
Update
The list of 'menuActions' you can get with this script:
var list = "ID\tName\tArea\n";
var i = 0;
for (var i=0; i<app.menuActions.length; i++) {
var m = app.menuActions[i];
list += m.id + "\t" + m.name + "\t" + m.area + "\n";
}
f = File("menu_actions.txt");
f.encoding = "UTF-8";
f.open("w");
f.write(list);
f.close();
f.execute(); // to open the txt file immediately
\\ alert(i + " actions wese saved to " + f.fsName);

I have a scenario where after reading the file, it needs the value inside that file to be replaced.
We have this script from our JMeter where we based our script from. (Please refer to the code below)
def file = new File('C:/Peak2020/China/${__time(YMMdd)}-085644-336_000101-plant 8956.xml')
def newConfig = file.text.replace('596791365558876095', '000101')
file.text = newConfig
def newConfig2 = file.text.replace('C6D-CN-NBB2829A', 'C7D-CN-NBB$4568792B')
file.text = newConfig2
def sku = file.text.replace('323094-01', '45903-01')
file.text = sku
I tried doing it in the Neoload, using the replace() but it's not working. It does copy the file from sourcefolder to destinationfolder but the value was not changed. (Please refer to the code below)
var file = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.FileReader("C:\\Peak2020\\China\\testSource1.xml"));
var line = file.readLine();
var id = line.replace(new RegExp("596791365558876095", "12345678"), "");
var destFile = line;
var writer = new java.io.FileWriter("C:\\Peak2020\\Teemp\\TestDestination3.xml",true);
writer.write(destFile);
writer.close();
Does anyone knows what right javascript code to use? Thank you.
String is immutable in Javascript and Java you are replacing it in
var id = line.replace(new RegExp("596791365558876095", "12345678"), "");
but then you use the var line again for the new variable.
var destFile = line;
it should be
var destFile = id;
because replace will return a new string with the replaced value.
I Have requirement to export Crosstable data along with Header in Spotfire.
1) First i tried direct excel export with location from temp folder or direct location like C:\Export\Text.xls. these are working perfect in Spotfire client. But in webplayer it is not working. It is throwing Access issue to the folder.
2) Secondly i tried, With help of other forums i developed a code to convert Crosstable to text area through Iron python script and HTML to excel through JAVA script. This is working perfect in webplayer chrome browser. But the issue here is it is working perfectly for the small data. but i have to export around 10 MB. so it hung in both client and webplayer.
Can anyone help me to fix this.
Script 1: Cross table to HTML and then to javascript for download. This script hangs due to size of the data. When i use small data it works perfect in chrome.

writer = StreamWriter(tempFilename)
tp.ExportText(writer)
tempFilename.Seek(0,SeekOrigin.Begin);
#Build the table
sb = StringBuilder()
#Open the temp file for reading
f = open(tempFilename)
#add some scripting magic from CDN
html = ""
#build the html table

For your first query (downloading to C:\Export\Text.xls); when this script runs on the web player, the files will be generated on the node manager machine (since this is where the IP script is executed).
You could output the files to a network/ shared drive, perhaps? You would need to add the network drive path to the allowed path section of Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Host.exe.config and ensure it can be accessed by the node manager.
Im new Firefox addon programming.
I want set default file browse location with firefox addon sdk.
Thank you so much.
open scratchpad copy and paste this:
const nsIFilePicker = Components.interfaces.nsIFilePicker;
var fp = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/filepicker;1"]
.createInstance(nsIFilePicker);
var startDir = FileUtils.File('C:\\');
fp.displayDirectory = startDir;
fp.init(window, "Dialog Title", nsIFilePicker.modeOpen);
fp.appendFilters(nsIFilePicker.filterAll | nsIFilePicker.filterText);
var rv = fp.show();
if (rv == nsIFilePicker.returnOK || rv == nsIFilePicker.returnReplace) {
var file = fp.file;
// Get the path as string. Note that you usually won't
// need to work with the string paths.
var path = fp.file.path;
// work with returned nsILocalFile...
}
if thats what you want let me know, then ill put it in a default location
I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook to extract e-mail attachments:
var MAPI = new Application().GetNamespace("MAPI");
var ExampleFolder = MAPI.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)
foreach (dynamic i in ExampleFolder.Items)
if (i.Attachments.Count > 0)
; // DoSomething();
Unfortunately this is extremely slow.
Is there any faster way to check for attachments?
Is it possible to filter/sort e-mails by date: loop through the last n items only?
sure, you can sort the collection using Items.Sort.
You can also use Items.Find/FindNext or Items.Restrict to look for items with attachments only. The property you need is PR_HASATTACH (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0E1B000B)
#Kiquenet (I can't add a comment below yours), here is the code to get items with attachments from Items.Restrict:
//fanti's code
var MAPI = new Application().GetNamespace("MAPI");
var ExampleFolder = MAPI.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)
Urn way (tested, ok -> source https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/b6fef244-756c-4ab0-a22b-78137cfb4349/datereceived-filter-nor-happeinig?forum=outlookdev):
var itemsWithAttachment = ExampleFolder.Items.Restrict("#SQL= urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment = True");
DASL way (tested, ko -> 'should work' source https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/pia/how-to-filter-and-efficiently-enumerate-items-in-a-folder):
const string PR_HAS_ATTACH = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0E1B000B";
var itemsWithAttachment = ExampleFolder.Items.Restrict("#SQL=\"" + PR_HAS_ATTACH + "\" = 1");
To filter by a date, just add "AND"s or "OR"s like this (Urn way):
var itemsWithAttachmentAndDate = ExampleFolder.Items.Restrict("#SQL= urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment = True"
+ " AND urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived <= '" + DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-3) + "'");
To loop through the last n items only:
int n = 3;
for (int i = itemsWithAttachmentAndDate.Count - 1; i > n; i--)
{
//current item: itemsWithAttachmentAndDate[i] //Beware: "dynamic" typed!
; //DoSomething();
}
