Playing a imacro loop from VBS script - imacros

i am trying to execute an iMacro script using a VBS script. I am using play() method. but it seems play() doesn't support the loop functionality. I searched through the iMacros wiki and Google and unable to find an answer.
Here is the code
Set iim1 = CreateObject ("IMacros")
i = iim1.iimInit()
i = iim1.iimPlay("amazon_search")
i = iim1.iimExit()
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

//Scripts by Talon
var nameoffile = "my100.csv"
var numberOfUrls = 101
for(var i=1;i<numberOfUrls;i++){
//sets basic requirements
//do what you want here
var macro = "CODE: "
macro+= "SET !ERRORIGNORE YES"+"\n"
macro+= "SET !REPLAYSPEED fast"+"\n"
macro+= "SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 1"+"\n"
macro+= "SET !DATASOURCE "+nameoffile+"\n"
macro+= "SET !LOOP "+i+"\n"
macro+= "SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}"+"\n"
macro+= "URL GOTO={{!COL1}}"+"\n"
//Add what you want to do at each site here if using macro format
iimPlay(macro)
Or add your new iimPlay code here , or add more jscript
}
The above code uses jscript to call imacros script, in this example I'm first calling a file named my100.csv. my 100 has 100 urls, or website that I go to to pull different information, or to set different information.
the numberOfUrls variable tells my code how many times to run my code.
I then dimension the variable "macro" and build the imacros script, one line at a time, setting the predefined builtin variables how I want them.
Once everything is set I call my first url, and manipulate the data how I want.
NOTE: you do not have to use Urls in you .csv file, you could place your data in the .csv file and go to a site them run your information whatever way you want.

Is it possible to format the colour of parts of my git branch name inside the prompt?

In my .zshrc file I have the following lines that parse my current git branch and display it in the terminal, the .zshrc file looks like this:
# Load version control information
autoload -Uz vcs_info
precmd() { vcs_info }
# Set up the prompt (with git branch name)
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT='%n in ${PWD/#$HOME/~} ${vcs_info_msg_0_} > '
# Format the vcs_info_msg_0_ variable
zstyle ':vcs_info:git:*' formats '(%b)'
So my terminal ends up looking like this:
me in ~/repos/myrepo (feat/MYISSUE-123/fix-the-broken-stuff) >
I would like to modify the script above so MYISSUE-123 has a different colour to the rest of the branch name.
How can I do that?
Try this ... change precmd to:
precmd() {
vcs_info
psvar=(${(s:/:)vcs_info_msg_0_})
# in case there are more than three components:
psvar[3]=${(j:/:)psvar[3,-1]}
}
Make sure precmd() is being called prior to each prompt display by adding it to the hook:
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook precmd precmd
And change PROMPT to:
PROMPT='%n in ${PWD/#$HOME/~} %1v/%F{red}%2v%f/%3v > '
There are some notes about psvar in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64094551/9307265.
The (s) and (j) parameter expansion flags are documented in the zshexpn man page.
Please let me know if there are any issues.

How i can display pdf file into region oracle apex?

i want display PDF file into region , i tried that by call application process using below code but always same file open.( plsql dynamic content region)
DECLARE
V_URL VARCHAR2(2500);
BEGIN
V_URL :='f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=display_emp_blob:::FILE_ID:' ||:P6_ID;
Sys.htp.p('<p align="center">');
sys.htp.p('<iframe src="'||V_URL||'"width="99%" height="1000">');
sys.htp.p('</iframe>');
sys.htp.p('</p>');
END;
and the application process code in below
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE OPEN_FILE (P_ID NUMBER)
IS
vBlob blob;
vmimetype varchar2(50);
BEGIN
SELECT ORG_FILES.FILE_CONTENT,MIME_TYPE INTO vBlob, vmimetype
FROM ORG_FILES
WHERE ID =P_ID ;
sys.HTP.init;
owa_util.mime_header(vmimetype,false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(vBlob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(vBlob);
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
exception
when no_data_found then
null;
END;
How i can open different PDF file into region based a value in ITEM (P6_ID) .
I think the problem you have is that the browser caches the file.
You can specify the time the browser caches with the "Cache-control" header option. Below, you have the code that I use (I have this code in the application process, not in the database):
sys.htp.init;
sys.owa_util.mime_header( 'application/pdf', FALSE );
sys.htp.p('Content-length: ' || sys.dbms_lob.getlength( v_blob));
sys.htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'|| v_filename || '"' ); -- "attachment" for download, "inline" for display
sys.htp.p('Cache-Control: max-age=3600'); -- in seconds. Tell the browser to cache for one hour, adjust as necessary
sys.owa_util.http_header_close;
sys.wpg_docload.download_file( v_blob );
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
You can also try some lazy load, which is the way I access my files (It may be that the way to access your file is also part of the problem). This way you make the page load without waiting for the user and then it loads and shows the file. I don't use the iframe tag but the embed tag. The way to do it is as follows:
Create a region with static content with this html
<div id="view_pdf"></div>
creates a dynamic action when the page loads, which executes javascript and add the following code
$('#view_pdf').html('');
var url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=display_emp_blob:::FILE_ID:' + apex.item('P6_ID').getValue();
var preview = document.createElement('embed');
preview.type = "application/pdf";
preview.width="100%";
preview.height="625px";
preview.src = url;
$("#view_pdf").append(preview);
You can modify the values depending on what you need. The embed tag uses the default way to view pdf files from browsers.
Also if what you want is to change the pdf without reloading the page you must use the previous javacript in a dynamic action when you change the value of the item.
I hope you find it useful.
My apologies, on the rare occasion I use this region type, I always think it can be refreshed.
https://spendolini.blogspot.com/2015/11/refreshing-plsql-regions-in-apex.html
The solution is to create a classic report that calls a PL/SQL function that returns your HTML.
SELECT package_name.function_name(p_item => :P1_ITEM) result FROM dual

Does webstorm have some shortcut for console.log or console.info?

Just tired of typing console.log again and again, and do not find a way like Sysout + Control + Space in Eclipse will create System.out.println().
There's a predefined Postfix template that allows you to type .log after a JavaScript expression or string and hit Tab to transform it to console.log().
You can also create a Live template (see Preferences | Editor | Live templates) that would expand into a code snippet once you type the selected abbreviation and hit Tab.
Update: there's now also a plugin that allows you to add console.log with a shortcut: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10986-console-log
Yes it does,
<anything>.log and press Tab key. This will result in console.log(<anything>);
ie,
<anything>.log + Tab => console.log(<anything>);
eg1: variable
let my_var = 'Hello, World!';
my_var.log + Tab => console.log(my_var);
eg2: string
'hello'.log + Tab => console.log('hello');
eg3: string and variable
'hello', my_var.log + Tab => console.log('hello', my_var);
[UPDATE 2020]
Typing log + Enter autocompletes to console.log()
I made my own template that seems to work.
It may be useful for somebody.
Abbreviation: ll
Template text:
console.log('$NAME$ ', $VALUE$);
$END$
Variables: (just select the given field values by clicking drop down box)
NAME - jsDefineParameter()
VALUE - jsSuggestVariableName
I'm including what I find to be the most efficient, which I added via live templates -> javascript -> applicable to "Everything". Hopefully someone finds it useful.
console.log('L$LINE$ $MYSTRING$ ===', $MYVAR$);$END$
What it does:
When I type cl and press tab, it creates the log and the first thing you type fills both MYSTRING and MYVAR variables. If you tab again, it selects MYVAR where you can rewrite/delete as desired. The third time you hit tab will take you to the end of the line at $END.
This snippet also prints the line number like L123 but you can easily remove that if it isn't helpful because obviously most browsers show line number anyway.
You also have to set the variables' behaviour as seen in the image below:
Edit variables setup
use Macros!
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/using-macros-in-the-editor.html
I recorded a macro that takes the name my cursor is on and create
console.log("#### name = ", name);
on the next line.
and assigned a keyboard shortcut to it :)
super easy, and couldn't get Live Template to get the same result with 1 action.
to create a new macro: Edit -> Macros -> Start Macro Recording. then record your next moves and create the desired result.
this is mine:
This is my solution, it somewhat mimics a turbo-console approach and gives you certain freedoms to build on it.
Step 1: Go to Editor > General > Postfix Completion;
Step 2: Click on JavaScript, click the + button, select JavaScript and TypeScript;
Step 3: In the Key input, type a alias for your command, I choose 'cl' for mine;
Step 4: In the 'Minimum language level' select your desired preference, I choose ECMAScript 6+;
Step 5: In the bellow text area, add your logic, for me it is console.log('$EXPR$', $EXPR$, '$END$');
Step 6: Customize however you like.
So what does all of this do?
Lets consider the following:
const willNeedToBeLogged = 'some value you want to check';
All you need to do for a console long is type
willNeedToBeLogged.cl + press (Tab, Enter or Spance)
And you will get this
console.log('willNeedToBeLogged', willNeedToBeLogged, '');
With your cursor being on the $END$ variable, where you could write, a line, or anything you like.
Have fun!
I made a custom template. This can help you.
Abbreviation: clog
Template code:
console.log("\n\n--------------------------------");
console.log($END$);
console.log("--------------------------------\n\n");
Simplest live template text:
console.log($END$);
Maybe it is a recent addition but you can write log and hit tab and console.log() will appear with the caret in between the braces.
The answer from Ekaterina Prigara (https://stackoverflow.com/a/32975087/5653914) was very useful to me but if you want to log a string like "Test" this method is quicker.
Try a logit plugin. It provides the next logging pattern by default:
const data = 'data';
console.log('-> data', data);
You can configure it.
Try Dot Log (vscode extension), It can automatically transfer aaa.log to console.log('aaa', aaa )

Excel VBA script or macro for linking to new Excel document using a template in it

I have a small family-operated shop and, in the process of speeding things up and/or automating them, I need help on the following matter (will try to explain as well as possible, since I am at a novice level on this kind of stuff.)
So, in my shop we offer a certain service (taking specific measurements of body dimensions along with weight/sugar levels etc etc). I have created an .xlsx document that contains all required fields and saved it as a template for future use. What I need to do is this:
I want to have a "master" Excel file with the names of our customers. From there, each name when clicked should open a new Excel file, using the aforementioned template, which would eventually be saved as each customer's record. I've tried a script for linking to the template but opening it as a new file (with the template in it) but, the problem is that each time I click on the name on the master file it opens a new document altogether, while I need it to open a new document named after the name in the original cell, with the template in it. As far as I can think, this is the best "automation" I can accomplish. Is it plausible? If so, how can I do it?
edit: this is the code, as i found it elsewhere:
'File:
' OfficeTemplate.vbs
'
'Problem:
' A hyperlink from an Office application to an Office template opens the template,
' instead of creating a new file.
' The proposed solution
' support.microsoft.com/kb/278627
' did not work.
'
'Solution:
' Create a hyperlink to a VBS file that starts the process.
'
'Instructions:
' Copy this VBScript into the same directory of your template.
' Rename it so that the VBS file name has the name of the template file in front.
' Example:
' Template name: test.dotx
' VBScript name: test.dotx.vbs
' Create the hyperlink to the VBS file.
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Get the name of the template
OurName = fso.GetBaseName(WScript.ScriptName)
'Find all files in our directory
For Each File In fso.GetFolder(fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)).Files
'Did we found the template?
If StrComp(OurName, File.Name, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
'Invoke the default verb
CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace(0).ParseName(File.Path).InvokeVerb
'Wait a second to let the application start
WScript.Sleep 1000
'Done
Exit For
End If
Next
this is my template:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc55/psyclone_tread/templ.jpg
this is the master file, just a column with names and one with phone numbers, i want the names to link to each customer's individual file.
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc55/psyclone_tread/master.jpg
Let me give you a very simple answer for this. Use VBA instead of VBS, and write code inside your master excel as per following illustration.
When you click on the cell with the name,
If File.Exists ("YourFolder\" & ActiveCell.Value & ".xlsx") Then
Workbooks.Open("YourFolder\" & ActiveCell.Value & ".xlsx")
Else
WorkBooks.Add(YourTemplate)
Fill in the details already present in the master sheet to new workbook if needed
NewWorkbook.Save("YourFolder\" & ActiveCell.Value & ".xlsx")
End If

Get full directory contents with AppleScript

I need to get the entire (visible) contents of a folder and its subfolders as a list. Is this possible?
see how easy this can be
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to entire contents of (choose folder with prompt "Please select directory.")
end tell
if you want a list of file names then you could do this
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to name of every file of entire contents of (choose folder with prompt "Please select directory.")
end tell
Yes, entire contents does exactly what you say -- but it easily chokes on
large folders, and takes forever. It's OK for
small things, like extracting all the files of one kind out of a folder you
know will only contain a small number of files.
The recursive method also works well -- but it's using "list folder", and
the dictionary listing for it says it's deprecated and we shouldn't use it
any more.
I'm sure there is a shell command that can do this faster, but here is one way in pure Applescript that gives you total control over formatting what info you would like displayed.
property kFileList : {}
tell application "Finder"
set source_folder to choose folder with prompt "Please select directory."
my createList(source_folder)
end tell
on createList(item_list)
set the the_items to list folder item_list without invisibles
set item_list to item_list as string
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
set the_item to item i of the the_items
set the_item to (item_list & the_item) as alias
set this_info to info for the_item
set file_name to name of this_info
set end of kFileList to file_name
if folder of this_info is true then
my createList(the_item)
end if
end repeat
end createList
On a side note, there are also a number file listing applications that can do this faster than Applescript.
UPDATE: As a result of this discussion, here is the function again, but this time using the updated API. This could probably could use some cleaning up, but it works cataloging my Desktop handily enough (and that's a deep, deep folder for me):
property kFileList : {}
tell application "Finder"
set source_folder to choose folder with prompt "Please select directory."
my createList(source_folder)
end tell
return kFileList
on createList(mSource_folder)
set item_list to ""
tell application "System Events"
set item_list to get the name of every disk item of mSource_folder
end tell
set item_count to (get count of items in item_list)
repeat with i from 1 to item_count
set the_properties to ""
set the_item to item i of the item_list
set the_item to ((mSource_folder & the_item) as string) as alias
tell application "System Events"
set file_info to get info for the_item
end tell
if visible of file_info is true then
set file_name to displayed name of file_info
set end of kFileList to file_name
if folder of file_info is true then
my createList(the_item)
end if
end if
end repeat
end createList
Wow this is quite late but I checked and it works.
tell application "Finder" to set folder_root to (choose folder with prompt "Please select directory.")
set fl to {}
dump_folder(folder_root)
on dump_folder(f)
global fl
tell application "System Events" to set end of fl to (get the POSIX path of f)
tell application "Finder" to set nfl to (the items of the contents of f)
repeat with nf in nfl
dump_folder(nf as alias)
end repeat
end dump_folder
fl
