I have hundreds of documents sealed with Oracle IRM.
As we are using another Sealing Software in future I have to unseal the files.
The problem is that I have to handle each file manually.
I need to rightclick, click on Unseal and hit Enter to Save
Is there a way to do this automatically for all the files? All of them are in the same folder.
I have Autohotkey available but never done anything with it.
Powershell is always available.
Thanks

I solved it with Autohotkey.
Rightclick, move down 10 times, enter, enter
And then repeat for all
It worked.

I log on to the remote server using SAS/Emacs. On the server, there is this space where I can save files for about a week. Unless I refresh or 'touch' those files again, they will get deleted after a week. Is there a macro or a code that I can execute whenever I open SAS/EMACS so that these files stay updated?
So far, I have used SSH to go on to the server and type 'touch /*' to keep it 'touched', but I am hoping there is a better/more efficient way to keep those files touched.
Assuming you're using EMacs Speaks Statistics to connect to SAS, then you have a couple of different options.
One is to modify ess-sas-submit-command to point to a script that first does your "touch" command and then starts SAS.
Another is to create an autoexec for SAS to do that for you, assuming you have rights to do so; you can add that to various locations in Unix or to the command line itself (depending on how you're launching SAS).
Even if you're not using ESS, the Autoexec method may work for you.
Note that, of course, your system administrator may not appreciate doing this, so do make sure this is permissible (unless that sysadmin is you!).
My father can't seem to shutdown his computer, ever, so I'm using Task Scheduler to have it automatically power off every night. Thing is, he also can't seem to save his documents, so I need to make sure every open document has it's changes saved when it shuts down. Is it possible to do this using AutoHotkey, VBA, or with some MS Word feature I'm not aware of?
I'm aware of the AutoRecover feature. But, as I understand it, that just saves a copy in another folder that gets thrown away when the document is opened again. It's not as reliable as a manual save.
Any help on this is appreciated. It physically hurts to watch tech-illiterates abuse their PCs.
I am trying to updating a software that is company wide. When the update is applied to the server, the client machines recognize they need an update and ask if you wish to update or not. To update, the user would need to run as admin, which is'nt an option in this case.
We would like to automate this process using powershell, using the Invoke-Command feature. For the most part, the only thing that the update does is copy new files to the programs folder, which we have achieved with robocopy. However, there is one registry key that needs to be added in multiple locations. There is a setup file that does this, but requires a user (with admin privileges) click a couple buttons, and we want this to be completely automated.
So I guess the short version of my question is, what is the best way to handle the registry changes that setup.exe does? It would be nice if there was a way to invoke the script that the executable does.
As for my question, I solved the problem with a slightly diferent approach. (One that should have been tried initially)
When (ProgramName).exe is run, if it sees that it needs updated, it runs a program called (ProgramName).setup.exe with the parameters :
Client="Local folder" server="server location"
These parameters did NOT work from the command line, however, and so I ended up using a powershell script to make a scheduled task that ran (ProgramName).setup.exe with said parameters.
Another huge advantage to this was the fact that I could create an icon that allowed a regular user to run the scheduled task with admin privileges. I couldn't setup a shortcut directly, however, I wrote an AUTO-it Executable that would run the task as admin.
I hope someone can get some level of help out of this post!
I'm using Practically Macros, but maybe there is some better Eclipse macro player for this task?
I run some commands on huge amount of files.
How do you open all files from a folder - one at a time - recursive, then do some commands on them?
Also is there some better fix for using the save command if there were no changes made? Like only save if changes where made. Now it generates an error so I write an character and then remove it to always be able to save.
I know how to do the file editing, but I first must open the files manually and it takes alot of time because if I select multiple I can't use the open with (Progress OpenEdge AppBuilder (OpenEdge UI Designer) is default and I don't want that but thats not the point here).
Practically Macro example:
*file editing, many commands*
Insert string: -
Delete previous character
Save
Close
Play last macro
This edit all the currently opened files like I want them (beautify).
This generates an error when there is no more files to close. How to fix?
So my macro/progress questions where:
Is there a better macro player for eclipse than Practically Macro?
Is there a way to use the save command only when needed?
Is there a way to not get errors when all files are closed? Or a way to detect when the recursive loop should end.
Is there a way to open multiple files with in Progress Developer Studio in text mode?
Is there a way to recursive open all the files in a folder (one at a time and open with OpenEdge ABL Editor) with macro?
This version of Practically Macro had semi-usable Eclipse macro support for my current version of Eclipse (Mars). Another option that seems to take a more official approach, but hasn't seemed to get much traction yet, is EASE.
If you do these kinds of tasks regularly, you could script things externally, in perl or Node.js or any other of the dozens of high-quality scripting languages out there.
WARNING: there appear to be two older versions of Practically Macro you might stumble upon. One is also on the Eclipse Marketplace but not marked with the trailing "-0". There is also another older one on SourceForge.
I am looking to add a new item in a right click context menu for a certain file type. I suppose it would be easiest to run a batch file with the full path of the file as an argument. I need to rename the file, unzip it, then rezip it, then rename it. I suppose winzip command line would be appropriate tool to help with that, unless someone else has a suggestion.
My questions are:
- How can I add a custom context menu item based on file type
- How can I pass the file name as an argument to the batch file from the context menu
- Finally this may go out to 2-3 people, and it might be easier to simply have an installer that sets this up for them. Anyone know of any free installers that could do this?
Some details about why I am trying to do this:
I have a tool that is zipping things correctly, the program that is reading the zip files is not unzipping to standards it seems. It unzips in winzip legacy mode or something. Rather than fix a working program/investing time or attempt to do some ultra-fancy, crazy fix on a linux server for zipping into winzip legacy format a workaround seemed appropriate for now. These processes only really occur internally, but they are still painful/annoying to do.
7zip is free, you might want to use that if you need to bundle the zip utility
