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 have a script that is rather simple, it boots up WinSCP and checks the directory for a file that starts with "TSA". If the file exists, it exits, if it does not exist, it transfers over a new file.
Its up and running on my Windows 7 machine, that is where i created it - but when i transfer it over to my server [windows server 2003] it never finds the file.
My script:
var FILEPATH = "../zfinance/TSA";
// Session to connect to
var SESSION = "someplace#somewhere.com";
// Path to winscp.com
var WINSCP = "c:\\program files\\winscp\\winscp.com";
var filesys = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var logfilepath = filesys.GetSpecialFolder(2) + "\\" + filesys.GetTempName() + ".xml";
var p = FILEPATH.lastIndexOf('/');
var path = FILEPATH.substring(0, p);
var filename = FILEPATH.substring(p + 1);
var exec;
// run winscp to check for file existence
exec = shell.Exec("\"" + WINSCP + "\" /log=\"" + logfilepath + "\"");
exec.StdIn.Write(
"option batch abort\n" +
"open \"" + SESSION + "\"\n" +
"ls \"" + path + "\"\n" +
"exit\n");
// wait until the script finishes
while (exec.Status == 0)
{
WScript.Sleep(100);
WScript.Echo(exec.StdOut.ReadAll());
}
if (exec.ExitCode != 0)
{
WScript.Echo("Error checking for file existence");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
// look for log file
var logfile = filesys.GetFile(logfilepath);
if (logfile == null)
{
WScript.Echo("Cannot find log file");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
// parse XML log file
var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
doc.async = false;
doc.load(logfilepath);
doc.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:w='http://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0'");
doc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
var nodes = doc.selectNodes("//w:file/w:filename[starts-with(#value, '" + filename + "')]");
if (nodes.length > 0)
{
WScript.Echo("File found");
WScript.Quit(0);
}
else
{
WScript.Echo("File not found");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
After much investigation, i think i've found the piece of code that does not function properly:
// parse XML log file
var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0");
doc.async = false;
doc.load(logfilepath);
doc.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:w='http://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0'");
The only problem is, i have no idea why. The log file at this point should be written over with the xml code, but this does not happen.
Thanks in advance for any help.
And the answer is........... WinSCP on Windows Server 2003 was WAY out of date. So out of date that the log was completely different from one version to the next. Updated and VIOLA! Problem solved. Thanks for your help.
Maybe you need to install MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc507436%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
If you open up regedit and look for "MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0" does it find it? If so maybe security settings for the script need to be set in order to be able to create an activeX object.
What can you see when you put some stuff in try catch?
try{
//stuff
}catch(e){
WScript.Echo(e.message);
}
I am building an installer in VS2010 and want a script to run after uninstall (to remove license files). I have found JScript as a scripting language for Windows 7 and have implemented a simple script to delete a directory (which works fine):
var wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var result = wshShell.Popup("Remove license?", 0, "Remove license?", 4);
if (result == 6) {
var license_dir = wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramData%");
license_dir += "\\<my product>";
var fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
if (fso.FolderExists(license_dir)) {
fso.DeleteFolder(license_dir, true);
} else {
WScript.Echo(license_dir + " didn't exist. Nothing removed.");
}
}
My question is, is this a valid and (more importantly) portable way of doing this?
I'm working on a Windows batch script that creates a directory/file listing of a complete hard disk for archival/cataloging purposes, using only command line-tools (and open-source/free tools). For each of the entries in the listing I wanted to list the filename, directory where it resides in, the filesize, date a,nd time of the file, and the md5 sum. I have been able to create somewhat a working starting point, but I'm hitting a wall since I'm not sure if it is even possible using the command-line tools in Windows. The command "dir /s /a:-d /o:-d /t:c" gives me a nice overview, but I would like this overview displayed (or saved to) a comma-delimited format. So my questions are:
Can I create a csv file with all the fields I mentioned above, with the standard command-line tools (and a m5 freeware tool for the md5 sums)
Do you know of a better way, or is there a dead simple disk cataloging command-line tool I missed?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
You can use dir /s /a:-d /o:-d /t:c > slam.txt
Then the content of this slam.txt, can be processed by WScript in windows, making a CSV file ...
If you need a WScript ex, I can provide one ?
I know this not an CSV example - but it should be complex enough for pattern inspiration :)
and remember this fil is saved as .js
var what2lookfor = '<rect ';
var forReading = 1, forWriting = 2, forAppending = 8, jx = 0, ix = 0;
var triStateUseDefault = -2, triStateTrue = -1, triStateFalse = 0;
var thisRecord="", validFileTypes="js,xml,txt,php,xsl,css,htm,html" , akkum = "";
var fileArray = [];
var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var objFiles = FSO.GetFolder("F:\\xps1710\\jscript\\");
var objFileControl = new Enumerator(objFiles.files);
for (; !objFileControl.atEnd(); objFileControl.moveNext()) {
objFile = FSO.GetFile(objFileControl.item());
var ext = objFile.Name.split(".");
if (validFileTypes.indexOf(ext[1]) > 1) {
fileArray[ix] = "F:\\xps1710\\jscript\\" + objFile.Name;
ix++;
}
}
for (zx = 0 ; zx < ix ; zx++ ) {
var file2Traverse = FSO.OpenTextFile(fileArray[zx], forReading, triStateUseDefault );
while (!file2Traverse.AtEndOfStream) {
thisRecord = file2Traverse.ReadLine();
if (thisRecord.indexOf(what2lookfor) > 1 ) {
akkum = akkum + fileArray[zx] + '::' + thisRecord + '\n';
break;
}
}
}
WScript.Echo(akkum);
In a Windows CMD.exe command line, how can I get the full DOS name/short name (a.k.a. 8.3 format) of the directory I am in?
For example, if I am in the directory C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22, I want to display it's short name C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0_2.
I know running dir /x will give me the short names of files/directories in the current directory but I haven't been able to find a way to display the full path of the current directory in short name format. I'm having to work my way through the path from the root, directory by directory, running dir /x in each.
I'm sure there is an easier way to do this?
for %I in (.) do echo %~sI
Any simpler way?
You could also enter the following into a CMD window:
dir <ParentDirectory> /X
Where <ParentDirectory> is replaced with the full path of the directory containing the item you would like the name for.
While the output is not a simple as Timbo's answer, it will list all the items in the specified directory with the actual name and (if different) the short name.
If you do use for %I in (.) do echo %~sI you can replace the . with the full path of the file/folder to get the short name of that file/folder (otherwise the short name of the current folder is returned).
Tested on Windows 7 x64.
In windows batch scripts, %~s1 expands path parameters to short names. Create this batch file:
#ECHO OFF
echo %~s1
I called mine shortNamePath.cmd and call it like this:
c:\>shortNamePath "c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk"
c:\PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~1
Edit: here's a version that uses the current directory if no parameter was supplied:
#ECHO OFF
if '%1'=='' (%0 .) else echo %~s1
Called without parameters:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk>shortNamePath
C:\PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~1

Then command.com will come up and display only short paths.

Kimbo's answer is perfect for normal files.
for %I in (.) do echo %~sI
For MsDos file names on HardLinks
The hard links created with mklink /H <link> <target> will not have an MsDos short file name.
In case you dir /X and you discover that missing short name you should expect the followings:
d:\personal\photos-tofix\2013-proposed1-bad>dir /X
Volume in drive D has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 7C7E-04BA
Directory of d:\personal\photos-tofix\2013-proposed1-bad
03/02/2015 15:15 <DIR> .

In this case

I've got what I expected

Hard link file
In this case
> for %I in ("2013-12-22--12-10-52------Bulevardul-Petrochimiștilor.jpg") do echo %~sI
I've got the normal MsDos path but the normal filename.
d:\personal\PH124E~1\2013-P~3\2013-12-22--12-10-52------Bulevardul-Petrochimiștilor.jpg`
A someone more direct answer is to fix the bug.
%SPARK_HOME%\bin\spark-class2.cmd; Line 54
Broken: set RUNNER="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"
Windows Style: set "RUNNER=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"
Otherwise, the RUNNER ends up with quotes, and the command
"%RUNNER%" -Xmx128m ...
ends up with double-quotes. The result is that the Program and File are treated as separate parameters.
similar to this answer but uses a sub-routine

PROGRA~2
Inspired by Dr. Scripto's answer
if via a batch file use:
set SHORT_DIR=%~dsp0%
you can use the echo command to check:
echo %SHORT_DIR%
Place this script somewhere in the windows path. I called mine getshort.bat and placed it in the System32 folder.
To use this you must pass a single path parameter after calling the scrip in cmd.exe window.
So open cmd.exe and type something like getshort.bat "C:\folder\file name with spaces.ext" You must double-quote paths with spaces otherwise not necessary.
The script will take the path you supplied and store the shortname in a temporary text file with two versions, version 1 has quotes around the short path, and the other version does not.
I use notepad++ to open txt files so if you do not use that program you need to change the line START "" /MAX NOTEPAD++ "%TMP%\Test.txt" and replace notepad++ with your editor's name.
