I'm looking to have a embed code for people be as short as possible. I'm trying to figure out how to do this. So something like...

I fixed the issue by putting that it was an xml file in the header and was able to write it out into the xml file perfectly.

How can I print exactly what I want in between my quotes? I have xml that I want to echo exactly and it is not printing out the brackets and gets hung up at the "<?" and all that. Is there a way I...

Is there a way to bring the terminal script to the front? I am running this script through OMCEdit which is then running it through Terminal. I have some dialog boxes (using osascript) and the dialog...

Thanks guys. I went with Chris's solution. It is limited like you said Jim (you need to have exact syntax for it to work) but Jim your solution is way over my head for a beginner! For what I am doing...

I like to have the date in the 2008-09-01 format at the beginning of my filenames. I then hyphenate after that and then have my filename.

I have a script that creates this for me. However, I may...

Is there an equivalent of basedir in shell script? I have a file location and I want to lowercase just the filename not the path.

Thanks to the both of you. zouhair...the fire one (path one) echo'd the full path again...just an fyi.



THESE WORK:

1) filename - no path or extention ....so just....file

O.K. I solved the beach ball problem. I have OMCEdit which allows me to do the context menus and get the variables and that was running the script in silent mode(popen)...I changed it to do Shell...

I'm trying to the date in the proper format so I can put it as a variable.

The format is: 2008-08-01

What I want is to have this date variable(2008-08-01) then concatenate other stuff to make a...

It is a great thing to have a log file or else I never would have thought about that.

I have a variable that has an absolute path for a file on my computer. This dynamically changes. Is there a way I can assign two new variables from that one?

I think it works now but I'm totally confused as to why it is behaving this way. The script below works...or at least once the file has encoded completely the QT movie opens...about 15 seconds or so...

I need to find out if a file is currently begin written to. I have read that you can use Stat in terminal and you can compare the Access/Modify. How would I go about doing this? I want to put it in a...

Ya I put only one & and changed it to [ $? -eq 0 ] and QT pops up once the file is created but not when the file is complete. If you check the info of the file when converting it keeps adding to the...

I have simplified it to just open the file after conversion. I think the problem is the script thinks it is done when the file is created like 30 seconds into encoding or so. However, the file is not...

My shell script is not waiting. I right click on a file and say convert it to whatever and it runs this script. It converts it using Compressor but I want it to wait until it is 100% done before...

It still doesn't wait. I think the problem is it creates a flv file when it is encoding so there technically is a file there. Any suggestions around this?

I have a script that runs Compressor and converts the file then I want it to inject the file with Flvtool2. My script works fine but the flvtool2 is starting too early. I have tried to put it in the...

I'm trying to figure out how to get the full path of a file. I found that typing:
echo $0 THEN I DRAG THE FILE INTO THE TERMINAL

That gets the full path but I can't figure out how to put that...
