[fusionpro] Help Creating an Exception Rule
A client recently supplied 4 completly different layouts, and one master database file which contains roughly 250 entries. The first field is "Version Code" which has either an A, B, C, or D for their values. I then have 4 PDFs created, named with their respected labels (A-D). I want to figure out a simple script that says to only return certain entries. For example, there are only about 25 D's. So for the D layout, I should only end with 25 pages, not 250. I know I can go in and create 4 different database files, but I'd like to figure out a script for this instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. The easiest way is to the use a tag with the "textwidth" type. For instance: Here is my text. You could also use a tag after the tag to scale the glyphs. However, the setwidth will automatically be reset to match the font size on the next tag. Dan +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Calling all FP Web Users!

[fusionpro] RE: address line help
Hi Shane,
You have two main problems here: One is to split off the "number" part
of the address from the street name. The other is to convert
abbreviations of street suffixes such as St., Ave., and Blvd. into their
non-abbreviated equivalents. Each of these problems poses its own set
of challenges.
For splitting off the number, you face some issues of
non-standardization, similar to the problems I mentioned in the thread
about name capitalization. The "number" part of the address is not
always just numbers, since some addresses can look like "34W56 Main St."
So you can't just remove the number from the beginning. And sometimes
the number part is more than one word, such as "24 1/2 Crowded Lane."
As for expanding the street suffix abbreviations, that's also not quite
straightforward. For one thing, the comprehensive list of official USPS
street suffix abbreviations is very large:
http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/usps_abbreviations.html#suffix
Or: http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/abbr_suffix.txt
This list may not include other informal abbreviations, and other
conventions outside the U.S.
Also, the address in your data may not include the street suffix at all,
such as "17 N. Main," which can make it difficult, if not impossible, to
determine whether or not the last word is indeed a suffix designation,
let alone what the correct suffix should be if it's not specified.
Furthermore, some addresses on rural routes and such may not have a
suffix at all, and which may include a number at the end, such as "5566
Rural Route 34" or "9368 State Highway 20".
In other cases, there may even be no number, street, or suffix at all,
such as addresses in large buildings with their own ZIP codes, such as
the Merchandise Mart here in Chicago. The address "Suite 470, The
Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL 60654" is perfectly valid.
And of course, you may have addresses in your data which are simply P.O.
boxes, in which case there is neither a street name nor a suffix, but
the address is still obviously valid.
In addition, if you're trying to "un-abbreviate" everything, you may
also want to expand direction abbreviations (N, S, E, W, etc.)
As you can see, this type of thing can be very complicated, and there
are some fairly expensive solutions for just this kind of address
validation and conversion on the market.
That said, if you want to try to tackle this, you can make some
assumptions that will cover *most* of the possibilities. For the
number, you can assume that the first word which starts with a letter,
and not a numeric digit, represents the street name. For the street
suffix, you can just create a table of abbreviations and their
replacements and assume that if you don't get a match, you can append
the word "Street." And you can strip off any trailing period that's
part of the abbreviation. Something like:
var Address = "123 1/2 N. Main St.";
var StreetNamePos = Address.search(/\b[A-Z]/gi);
var StreetName = Address.substring(StreetNamePos);
var StreetSuffixAbbrMap =
{
"St" : "Street",
"Ave" : "Avenue",
"Blvd" : "Boulevard",
// Add ALL of the abbreviations from this page:
// http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/abbr_suffix.txt
};
var foundSuffix = false;
for (var i in StreetSuffixAbbrMap)
{
var re = RegExp("\\b" + i + "\\b", "gi");
if (StreetName.search(re) > -1)
foundSuffix = true;
StreetName = StreetName.replace(re, StreetSuffixAbbrMap[i]);
}
StreetName = StreetName.replace(/\.$/, "");
if (!foundSuffix)
StreetName += " Street";
return StreetName;
Note the comment that you would need to add all of the possible street
suffix abbreviations to be comprehensive. You may still run into some
of the problems I listed above as well. But this should be a workable
"poor man's" solution.

[fusionpro] Re: Can Callbacks be Nested?
David, Thank you! The "second thought" sounds very promising... we'll give it a try. As I mentioned, I already have an ExternalDataFileEx creating a summery sheet with all the relevant data for our xerox/bindery/ mailing departments. And I've already created a rule to recognize the chuck/group change from current record to previous record. It would just be so darn simple to be able to nest the OnNewOutputFile callback into the OnRecordStart (or OnRecordEnd) callback. Either way... I'll post our success... or failure.

[fusionpro] RE: Mc - De - Mac - La - Mac
There's no rule you can write which will cover every possible case like
this. Such is the folly in relying on computerized algorithms for
spelling and grammar issues which do not always follow a set of logical
rules, especially for things such as proper names. There are a lot of
assumptions that we Westerners tend to make about proper names that
others may not like.
Some names, or parts of names, are not meant to be capitalized at all,
such as Mies van der Rohe, and there are almost a limitless number of
other exceptions to first-letter capitalization, such as Sam O'Neil,
Jenny McCarthy, Beverly d'Angelo, Leonardo di Caprio, Don Alejandro de
la Vega, and Werner von Braun, to name a few. Other names may have
capitalization that's seemingly random, like "JosePhine" or "JimBob",
which may not make sense to you or me, but the only person who can truly
dictate the proper spelling and capitalization of a name is the owner.
Capitalization becomes even more arbitrary with names of things that are
not people, like for instance, the names JavaScript and FusionPro.
The only thing you can really do is to follow the mantra, Know Thy Data.
My best advice is to rework your job to not change the capitalizations
of proper nouns at all.
Keeping that huge caveat in mind, if you really must capitalize
everything, you can *try* a couple of algorithms which will reduce the
number of egregious problems.
I posted a similar solution for exceptions to the ToTitleCase algorithm
a couple of weeks ago:
var text = "hi there CEO of the big corp.";
var result = ToTitleCase(text);
var Exceptions = [ "CEO", "CFO", "VP", "and", "the", "of", "to" ];
for (var i in Exceptions)
{
var re = RegExp("\\b" + Exceptions[i] + "\\b", "gi");
result = result.replace(re, Exceptions[i]);
}
return result;
But that deals with entire words. This would replace prefixes like the
type you describe:
var text = "joe mcdonald macmillan laplace landry";
var result = ToTitleCase(text);
var Prefixes = [ "Mc", "Mac", "De", "La" ];
for (var i in Prefixes)
{
var re = RegExp("\\b" + Prefixes[i] + "\\w", "g");
result = result.replace(re,
function(w){return w.substring(0, w.length-1) +
w.substring(w.length-1).toUpperCase()});
}
return result;
But that's still for "title case," and you're looking for exceptions to
"all caps." So something like this would work:
var text = "joe mcdonald macmillan laplace landry";
var result = ToUpper(text);
var Prefixes = [ "Mc", "Mac", "De", "La" ];
for (var i in Prefixes)
{
var re = RegExp("\\b" + Prefixes[i] + "\\w", "gi");
result = result.replace(re, function(w){return Prefixes[i] +
w.substring(w.length-1)});
}
return result;
But, note that those last two algorithms will catch all names starting
with one of the prefixes, and will erroneously uncapitalize letters in a
name like "Landry" or "Macintosh." I think the best logic for what
you're describing is to look for words which already have a capital
letter that's not at the first position in the original string, like so:
var text = "Joe McDonald MacMillan LaPlace Landry";
var result = ToUpper(text);
var Prefixes = [ "Mc", "Mac", "De", "La" ];
for (var i in Prefixes)
{
var re = RegExp("\\b" + Prefixes[i] + "[A-Z]", "g");
var pos = -1;
var matches;
while (matches = re.exec(text))
result = result.substring(0, matches.index) +
matches[0] + result.substring(re.lastIndex);
}
return result;
This, of course, assumes that the capitalization is correct in the
original name. And it's hardly a universal solution, since it's limited
to the number of prefixes you give it. And it still will not properly
handle stand-alone uncapitalized words in names such as "van" or "de",
but those could be handled with an exception list as in the first
example above. You still won't ever get every possible case right,
however. Again, my best advice is to leave proper nouns and names in
their original format. Otherwise, no matter how many exceptions you
add, you'll forever be getting complaints from a client that a name is
not right.
Here is an online article which attempts to solve this kind of problem:
http://freejava.info/capitalize-english-names/
Note that it's in Java, which is a different language than JavaScript,
but the general ideas are the same.

I believe that you might need to use the following original post from Dan
Korn and a later re-post from David Sweet .

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to do some investigation on
this one. The answer is that, yes, it's possible. There are several steps
involved:
First, check the "Output to multiple files" box on the Output tab of the
Composition Settings dialog and set the number of records to 1. Then,
create the OnNewOutputFile callback rule and, in it, set the
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName (or
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileFullPathName) property, like so:
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName =
Field("AccountHolder") + ".pdf";
Change the field name as appropriate for your data. If you compose
thusly, you will see that you get one output file for each account
holder.
However, you'll only get one record's worth of data in each output file.
So we need to compile data from multiple records to create a single
output file for all the records pertaining to each account holder. This
is where you can use an ExternalDataFileEx object to look ahead for data
from other records. You can see an example of this under "How to return
multiple records in the same output file" in the FusionPro Rules Editor
Reference Guide.
If you really want to have separate output pages within each
account-holder specific output file for each input record, then you will
need to do something a little bit different than in the example. My advice
is to create a routine in OnJobStart to read in the original data file and
create a new one with record "chunks" of specific sizes, which you can
then use as your input file for the composition. In other words, you'll
create, say, a hundred records for each account-holder, but only the
number of actual records from your original input file will contain data,
and the rest will be empty. You can then put some logic into OnRecordStart
to set FusionPro.Composition.composeThisRecord = false for the extra empty
records in each output file chunk. Set the number of records per output
file in the Composition Settings to the same number of records you're
creating for each account-holder, including the empty records.
We are looking into adding the ability to start a new output file at any
given time through JavaScript, without having to rework your input file,
in a future version. But you'll have to use a strategy like the one
outlined above for now.

The second part of this response deals more with your request. Take a look
at your data, and figure out the largest output "group" that you would
have. Then adjust the ExternalDataFileEx file Dan refers to earlier in
this posting, and allow for an even amount more than that record size.
Take a look at the example in the KnowledgeBase for "repeat a Given Record
a Number of Times" to give you a good example of how to create an External
data file.
In your OnRecordStart during composition, you would have something like..
if (Field("field_name") == "")
FusionPro.Composition.composeThisRecord = false;
This will skip any of your blank records.
In your OnNewOutputFile you would set the name of that output file..
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = Field("field_name") + ".pdf";

What used for mine was one OnNewOutput File rule and an OnRecordStart
rule.
//OnNewOutput File
//You can use a CurrentRecordNumber function or get a specific field value
//CurRec = CurrentRecordNumber();
Data = new ExternalDataFileEx("CAData.csv", ",");
Name = Data.GetFieldValue(2, "0");
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = "Group" + Name + ".pdf";
//OnRecordStart
// say you only want the group "GroupA" on your database to compose and
skip the other records
if (Field("GroupName") != "GroupA")
FusionPro.Composition.composeThisRecord = false;
I may be going about this the wrong way but it seemed to work for me.

[fusionpro] Can Callbacks be Nested?
Is it possible for either an OnJobStart or OnRecordStart callback trigger an OnNewOutputFile callback? I'm "trying" to split the quantity of records from the main database into each sub-group during composition... automatically (i.e. all "Group A" records are composed and saved in "Group A" output file). Each sub-group does NOT have the same quantity of records. I have researched the forum at length and can't seem to find a clean solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[fusionpro] Determine height and width of a graphic
I would like to be able to read in a graphic variable (to be later used as an inline graphic), have fusionpro determine if it is a landscape or a portrait graphic (length greater than width or not) so I can place it in a proper sized box with text below it. Is there any way of determining the actual "point-size" length or width dimension of a graphic during composition? David A.
