I was wondering if it's possible to receive information after each input (each line) in PowerShell.
I would like to use it afterwards for some custom functions.
If you don't think it's possible, perhaps it would be possible to create custom functions with asterisk (wild card)? E.g. type in computer's name (which always begins the same way) and receive ping to this computer as feedback.
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to save local Access db , my system locate is US English
I am tryign to save a db with Chinese characters.
Access gives me the following errors:
“microsoft Access cannot save the form or report,
because it displays characters from a language that cannot be saved in your current system locate,
switch your system locate to the language in the form or report， and try again”
Do I really need to switch my locate for this?
Thank you!
I think you might just be able to add the language type you're trying to use to the database. In Access Options > Language
I've never used it with Chinese, so I am unsure how your results will be, but it should work out.
I have a test in JMeter to update details which have many query parameters
I prefer sending them in path instead of create line for each parameter,
The problem that I have more than 256 characters overall (~450) which make Path field not displaying the text content:
Is there a max parameter I can change? Am I'm doing something wrong or it's a bug/limitation in JMeter/Swing component?
As per JMeter version 3.3 you can scroll "Path" with keyboard or mouse, if you don't see a part of your query string - don't worry, it's still there, you can verify it using View Results Tree listener.
Another option is investing into a higher-resolution display.
Third option is looking into UrlConfigGui class, there is a following line there:
path = new JLabeledTextField(JMeterUtils.getResString("path"), 80); //$NON-NLS-1$
You can try playing with this 80 number, however it will require recompiling JMeter and given the nature of your request I strongly doubt you're capable of this
Since JMeter 4.0 I don't have this issue, I can write in field any number of characters and it's still visible.
I didn't find specific change in version 4, but there were UX improvements that may fix this issue.
Sorry - I'm a total newbie with InstallShield. I've inherited an InstallShield 2013 project that presents the user with a dialog that let's the user select a SQL Server and based on their selection sets a value in a config file. That's not working, so I opened the project in IS and looked in the Text File Changes under System Configuration and there's nothing there that would do this. So how do I figure out where this is happening (or not happening in my case), and then how do I get it to work? I need to set both data source and initial catalog in a file called server.config.
So how do I determine what the user selected and then save that in this file? It looks like I can set up a Text File Change, but how do I access the values selected by the user? And how can I figure out where the "code" is that is supposed to be doing this?
Thanks,
Ben
I would try to track this from the dialog and controls in question, or by following the value through a verbose log. Since you say it doesn't work today, there will probably be an interruption in the flow I describe below, and since you don't know the full state of the installation project, it may be hard to identify. So search from what you know.
Top down: what gets configured
First, find the dialog that you fill out as a user making the selection. Then figure out the property that the particular control is associated with. Now you've got a thread; pull on it.
Search in the direct editor for references to the property. If the property is named MYCONFIG search for just that: MYCONFIG. You'll probably find some sort of use that looks like [MYCONFIG] instead, which is typically a format string specifying to use the value of MYCONFIG. You may also have to search all the files related to your project, as Custom Action implementations can be code stored outside of your InstallShield project.
The use may be in a ControlEvent, CustomAction, or some other table. If it's in a ControlEvent, it may be used to set another property. Ditto if it's in a CustomAction that sets properties (type 51) which may be easier to understand in the Custom Actions and Sequences view. In that case, also search for the property that gets set.
If you find it in a table like ISSearchReplace* or ISXml*, or IniFile, it's probably part of the Text Files Changes, XML File Changes, or INI File Changes, and that view should make it easier to understand.
Maybe that thread dead-ends somewhere. A property gets set, but never referenced. So try to search from the other end.
Bottom up: what gets written
If there are text file changes, xml file changes, ini file changes, or custom actions that reference the file you need updated, see where they get their information. Try to follow it back. If they're well written, you should be able to identify the property (noting that one called CustomActionData comes from a property matching the name of the custom action it's used in), and then trace that further back using the same ideas as above, but in the other direction.
Where's the problem?
If the threads don't connect, that's probably the problem. It's also possible that a custom action lacks permissions but doesn't reports a failure, or that the file name or path got misconfigured somewhere along the way. Look for small things like that if things look like they should work but don't.
It turns out that I misunderstood the problem and the project was never set up to change that value, so all I had to do was set up a Text File Change and it works perfectly. Thanks #Michael Urman for the thorough response - I really appreciate it!
Good evening,
I am currently developing a way to import machine created data from a csv sheet into a database.
The question I have is, is there a way to react to a change in a csv file with Lua.
The file gets a line in this format:
17162H,"801234500001",9/23/2016 12:33:30 PM,"INV"
Every time a scanner is finishing a scan process, added under the old lines, but there is no direct connection to the database, to trigger the script.
It doesn't matter if the change is detected via different file size, foldersize (of the folder that contains the file) or a change within the file information (like date of last opening), but I can't open and read in it permanently due performance reasons.
Also this is the first time I ask here, so sorry for my clunky way, I'll try to improve myself with that over time.
Take a look at linotify, it has lua bindings for inotify and looks like it should do the trick, using the "modify" event to trigger your script.
I use LibUV based variant in my spylog apllication
Usage:
file_monitor(path_to_file, {eol = '\r?\n'}, function(line)
...
end)
If you need to run this on Windows, you can use winapi library, which supports file watchers. Here is an example of how it's used in one of my projects; you'll need to call winapi.sleep() to allow time for the check to trigger.
I want to know if there is a way to check if a file has been edited. I looked for methods that can make it for me on Google Apps library, but I have found nothing about it. I don't know if I searched wrong.
Basically, I need to take a file, take a measurable data (something like size) of this file and store on a variable. Then, I need to take that measurable data again, store on another variable, and compare if there was a change. I need a boolean return.
Anyone?
You could do the following (pseudo with links to documentation):
Get the file you want to check using the DocList Class.
Get the ID of that File once you have it using File.getID()
Get the last edit timestamp using File.getLastUpdated()
Store this value in a Spreadsheet, or maybe Script or User Properties.
When you want to check to see if the File was updated, simply File.getFileById()
Repeat step 3.
Then compare the two last-edited timestamps with an operator like !=, or do more complex comparisons on the Dates if you want.
Depending on the result of step 7, return true or false.
Google's documentation is great, for all their services. You just need to read it a bit to understand what kind of power you have through scripting. Hopefully my pseudo-method helps in solving your problem!
Look at the file update date: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/drive/file#getLastUpdated() and for storing data look up the storing data section in the apps script help page.
You could also use the GAT General Audit Tool http://goo.gl/hzZ2yf... which reports when files were edited , viewed and much more.
