I did the merging multiple documents into one singe document (Test.docx) with FeedData and it works fine.
When I open the merged document Test.docx with WinZip, content looks like this:
File1.docx, File2.docx, File3.docx, where all merged documents are being stored like external files into Test.docx file.
Now wondering if there are possibility to be created one single document Test.docx with whole content inside instead of multiple files to be stored as it noted above, this will helps me a lot when I'm making Search / Replace content since like this, we opening file by file procedure?
Note: If I open the Test.docx via MS Word and press "Save", MS Word do the job but I would like to produce the same result via code?
Thank you in advance.

Take a look at this article, and see if this is what you're looking for:

Another way to merge multiple Open XML DOCX files into a single file is using the DocumentBuilder module that is part of Open-Xml-PowerTools, which is an open source lib on github.

more info about DocumentBuilder: http://openxmldeveloper.org/wiki/w/wiki/documentbuilder.aspx
Given that you want to do search and replace, check out OpenXmlRegex, also part of Open-Xml-PowerTools:

I need to extract the "Content Created" date out of thousands of files, but haven't been able to find a way to do this using PowerShell / other Command Line utility.
Does someone out there know a way to obtain this metadata? If so, please can you advise me. Thanks.
I've looked at various resources online, including this site, but haven't been successful thus far.
Here's a screenshot explaining what I'm trying to do.
I've been unable to find a native powershell cmdlet which does what you want. However, I found this article: Use PowerShell to Find Metadata from Photograph Files and the script it used: get file meta data function.
The article talks about image files, but the function is not specific for image files.
I tested it out on a folder containing a Word and an Excel file and the returned Metadata from the Word file contains the Content Created date. The Excel file does not contain/return that value. This is not unexpected as the Details tab of properties for the Excel file does not contain a Content Created value so it seems to be specific for Word files, and maybe some other file or document types.
Update:
You write that you need to extract this info from thousands of files, but if those files are anything but Word-files you probably won't be able to do that.
As far as I can tell this should work with the file types exposing the type of metadata you want. However, it seems that the ContentCreated property is unique to Word. I tried adding a text file (.txt), Acrobat PDF (.pdf), MS Access (.mdb), Excel (.xlxs) and a Word doc (.docx) file to my test folder and the only one that has/returns that metadata property is the Word file.
You should also be aware that the script seems to return metadata localized, so for me to programatically get the info i wanted I had to pipe the output of the script to Select-Object -Property Name,'Innehåll skapat' (which is the Swedish name for Content created). So if you're running on a non-english system you may need to check what the output looks like before creating your Select-Object statement.
PowerQuery in Excel 2013 or later (data tab). Connect to data> Folder.
How to find or replace a word in the documents in the given folder
Is there is a tool or any script is available to do that?
Thanks.
Finding text is straightforward. There are several ways to do it, including using the Windows search utility. Here's an article with several methods: Search through the content of multiple Word documents
To find and replace, you can use a free text editor like Notepad++. It has a very good Find in Files utility. There are many other utilities that can do this, some paid and some free.
Finally, you can write a VBA macro that will find and replace all documents in a folder. Here's a page with a macro listing that does that: How to Find and Replace Contents in Multiple Word Documents
Like in MS Excel one csv file may contain more than one sheet, Like this what I have to do is I want to keep all the theory in one word file and the programs in another word file. But I want to attach these both file with each other as a single DOC file.
Like a single DOC file contain theory as well as programs, which is open as two separate content/file.
Something close to what you want to do is the following:
In new Word Document Select your "View" Tab and then Select "Outline View".
Then Select "Show Document". The "Insert Button will now be visible.
You can now insert various documents in this document.
Unfortunately as far as I know this will have links into the original Documents which you can then open, edit and access from the new document.
Try it out and let me know!
Also, you can maybe try Microsoft One Note, I think this is probably what you looking for. See partial screen shot below for an idea.
I am trying to write a script that will allow me to download numerous (1000s) of data files from a data server (e.g, http://hydro1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/thredds/catalog/GLDAS_NOAH10SUBP_3H/2011/345/). Unfortunately, the names of the files in each directory are not formatted in a similar way (the time that they were created were appended to the end of the file name). I need to be able to specify the file name to subset the data (I have a special tool for these data types) and download it. I cannot find a function in matlab that will extract the file names.
I have looked at URLREAD, but it downloads everything including html code.
Thanks for your help!
You can easily parse the link.
x=urlread(url)
links=regexp(x,'<a href=''([^>]+)''>','tokens')
Reads every link, you have to filter all unwanted links.
For example this gets all grb files:
a=regexp(x,'<a href=''([^>]+.grb)''>','tokens')
So, in my project I have 10 languages, and 10 Localizable.strings files.
I just created Localizable.strings files, a file for each language. Now they contain "key" = "value" pairs, and both keys and values are in English (default language).
My languages are all translated and stay in Excel files.
The question is, how can I insert all my languages in those files faster than just copying each word manually or writing a script for that?
Maybe there is a existing tool for this already?
Thanks.
I found an easy way to compose localizable.strings files from Excel documents.
In the Excel document, in specific columns I insert " " = " " symbols. It's easy to do for all the words by dragging Excel cell down from the corner, so that it copies stuff from that cell to all the cells you drag it to. (sorry for messy explanation)
Thus the document contains the same symbols and words as localizable.strings does.
Than I just copy everything to the text file, remove tabs, change extension to .strings.
(no comments saved unfortunately).
EDIT:
You can copy the stuff from Excel to Sublime Text, then Find & Replace tabs if any. Copy resulted stuff into proper Xcode .string file.
One application that will really save you a lot of time by automating and streamlining localization procedure is Localization Suite. I do not know if they support importing from excel (to save you time transferring your string pairs) but it's free and seems like a complete solution.
I had an internal script at work for doing that tasks in iOS and Android, and I've just opensourced it as a Gem. You can take a look at it here: http://github.com/mrmans0n/localio
It can open spreadsheets from Google Drive and local Excel files as well, like requested.
You just would have to install the gem
gem install localio
And have a custom DSL file in your project directory, called Locfile, with the info referring to your project and the localization files. An example in your case, where an Excel file is used, could be as simple as:
platform :ios
source :xls, :path => 'YourExcelFileGoesInHere.xls'
output_path 'Resources/Localizables/'
The .xls file should have a certain format, that probably is very similar to what you have right now. You just have to clone the contents of this one and fill it with your translations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmX_w4-5HkOgdFFoZ19iSUlRSERnQTJ4NVZiblo2UXc
Hope this helps.
Here are the steps i followed:
change the extension of .strings to .txt on windows
open excel and go to File > Open
Choose the file to open. This should present an import wizard
Follow the steps and specify the delimiting character as =
You're done
