Image conversion

2008-03-30 Thread FlexibleLearning
I have an embedded cd image. I want to know the GIF (or PNG or JPG,  don't 
mind which) value of it so it can be stored in base64-format for  another 
program. I suspect that the templateImage comes into play here, possibly  with 
converting the imageData using export.

How do I do this?

Somewhat [OT] : cgi, XML and Excel files

2008-03-30 Thread jbv
Hi folks,

I've just finished a Rev cgi script that outputs sophisticated
Excel files (with layout, styles and stuff) using the MS XML
format.
On my Mac and my PC everything works fine, but I'm using
openOffice instead of excel.
I've asked a few potential users to test it, and some of them
meet various problems, like the XML code being opened in
Word instead of excel, or excel displaying just crap...
As often, I don't have access to all kinds of potential users,
as they are spread all over the country, only through a few
managers who don't know a bit about technology and have
no idea what versions of excel and windoze end users may
have on their laptops...

So here's my question : does anyone have a clear idea of
which versions of excel support that MS XML format ?
The various infos I grabbed on the web aren't clear : it looks
like XML became available with Excel 2003, but is it ONLY
Excel 2003 or any version SINCE Excel 2003 ?
Any additional info will be apreciated too...

Thanks for your help.
Don't hesitate to reply off-list if you think this is OT...

Best,
JB

Re: Somewhat [OT] : cgi, XML and Excel files

2008-03-30 Thread Björnke von Gierke
There's two XML formats by Microsoft. one was introduced in Office  
2003, the other in 2007. Both are... sub optimal for third party  
implementation, and I don't know if 2007 supports the format  
introduced in 2003.


Maybe some day Microsoft will stop to be the one and all Office  
software owner, similar to what is currently happening with the  
browser market. Until then, I suggest you save the file in the older  
non-xml binary format, whenever possible. As far as I know, the 2003  
format is very similar to the older binary one anyway, and 2003 can't  
read the 2007 files (there's an add on ppl can install though).


have fun

If they will be working on a RevOnline bug anyway, can they also give this
one some attention?

http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=1962

Bug 1962 is about RevOnline, but also the Check for Updates fails for the
same reason.

Re: 2.9 - Pasting from Excel

2008-03-30 Thread Andre.Bisseret

Hi,
Here if I copy  (or cut) from an Excel file (multiple rows and  
columns) and then I paste in a Rev field (with  tab stops being  
defined)  I got the texts of the cells separared by tabs (and the rows  
by cr)


I am working on Mac OSX 10.5.2.
Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac
Rev 2.9.0 rc 3.

For a new stack I am developing, I am saving the Excel file in .txt  
(tab separator)

tab, carriage return as well are preserved.

I just tried with Excel file in .xls and I got the same expected result.

Actually, in my stack, I am using something like :
   open file suchFileName FOR read -- an excel file saved in .txt
 read from file suchFileName at 1 until EOF
   put it into fld thisField
   close file suchFileName

This works well;  tabs and crs are there

Best regards from Grenoble
André

Hi Folks,

This is likely to seem ridiculously simple. I use Excel a lot during  
the course of the day. Sometimes I need to cut and paste data from  
multiple rows and columns on an ad hoc basis and take it into Rev.


In prior versions of Rev the result was text not separated by tabs  
as you would expect and as you get if you paste into Notepad for  
example.


In fact for years that has been my workaround. Copy from Excel,  
paste into Notepad, then paste into Rev.


I had thought 2.9 might preserve the tabs but it does not. Am I  
missing something or is this the standard (and expected, and thus  
S.O.L) behavior?


Is there anything anyone can think of that could make this otherwise  
simple task, well, simple?


Thanks.

Has it been determined yet whether the delimiters are absent, or just

A few days ago I asked if you could access a Table Field and
find out what item and line were clicked on.

If you want to now you can.

I made a field that will allow you to do that and uploaded it to
Rev Online.

It is in the Programmers Section and named Dynamic Table Field.
It has only been tested on a Mac with OS X.

Re: Windows shell commands

2008-03-30 Thread Mark Smith
Mark, it's Windows XP under VMWare Fusion on Mac OS X, a standalone  
built with 2.9 rc-4, and the command is LAME - the mp3 encoder.


So I'm building the command string in a variable tLameStr, which  
will be like:
path to lame -v --nohist --brief path to input file path to  
output file


 and then

set the hideconsolewindows to true
get shell(tLameStr)

It's working, but the console pops up immediately, and then closes  
again when the command completes.

Re: Windows shell commands

2008-03-30 Thread Mark Schonewille

Mark,

Some time ago, I had a similar problem on WinXP. I didn't look into  
it any further, but if I remember correctly, I wanted to use chkdsk  
while hiding the consoles. I reported it as a bug and got as a reply  
that chkdsk is an interactive command and therefore shows a console  
even if the hideconsolewindows is set to true.


I am not sure that I can agree with that reply, but perhaps Lame is  
also an interactive command, e.g. a built-in feature that allows the  
user to cancel the process? I'm _only_guessing_ here, but it is a  
possibility.

Mark
