I want to use the send-to option inside a MOSS document library to move the file to a folder in the same document library. If I select the url to the folder and then try the send-to option, it tells me the folder name is too long.
All the best
The resulting URL to the new file cannot exceed 260 characters.

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.

How can I use 'search in path' for Eclipse Mars 2.0 to find a string pattern in either the name of a file and also find a string pattern in the name of a folder?
I have a folder named 'Personal Finance' in a git repo that I primarily use Eclipse to work with. When I search in file for 'Finance' the only search results that show up are in files themselves. Is there a way in Eclipse to search file names and folder names simultaneously?
Do not use Search dialog(Ctrl+H) for this. It searches inside the file content.
Use open resource dialog(Ctrl+Shift+R).
In the input pattern text box enter
<Folder/File NamePatter>/
For example:
*handler/
This will list all files which has handler string in their names and present under the folders which has handler string in their names.
*handler/*nature
This will list all files which has nature string in their names and present under the folders which has handler string in their names.
See this post for more details When typing in Open Resource dialog, is there a way to find files by directory instead of just the file name? also look into this bug and read all comments.
This may not interest to you but have a look on it:
In this blog you can find the details of a plugin which filters resource in package explorer view by name patterns. But now its limited to filter only projects. Go through this bug and this bug
After the upload the a sapui5 application on the SAP system has a strange structure. The files are not in the same structure as they were on my machine and the filenames are hashed, except MIMEs. So I am not able to find e.g. a specific "controller.js". The application is still fully working.
In this specific case the SAP Program "/UI5/UI5_REPOSITORY_LOAD" was used to upload the application. The upload protocol looks fine, no hint about renaming or similar. So I am not sure if the problem is with the system or the program.
All the hash files name should be normal naming and should be in sub-folders components. Even the "index.html" file has a hash, this cases a problem when click on "test application", because it opens the hash in the URL. The hash, which is the path and the filename cannot be opened, but if I replace the hash with the original path -> it works

A work colleague found the issue in the sap system. It seems it is not allowed to have path + filename longer than 70 characters. If it is longer it hashes the path and filename to place it under the project root folder.
The german comment seems very strange, though ... "Name length should not be a
problem. Do we have anyhow a max length?"
It also creates a file containing the mapping from filepath + filename to hash.
You should not use file names longer than 70 characters.
Also you should not use '-' in your file names.
As far as I know the only allowed characters for valid BSP paths are:
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789./_"
I want to create a script that automatically unzips music albums and creates a new directory for them on Windows 7.
I'd also want the script to compare file metadata to data pulled from a certain music site to ensure the ID3 tags are filled with accurate data.
Would something like Powershell be sufficient? I'd just love a finger pointed in the right direction.
DotNetZip will allow you to do this from PowerShell. It is not a one-liner, but the library will allow you to write the PowerShell script you need.
Tag lib wille allow you to play with ID3Tag. Example :
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom( (Resolve-Path ".\taglib-sharp.dll") )
$media = [TagLib.File]::Create("C:\Users\Joel\Music\Audity\The Language I Think In-Music of My Heart.ogg")
# Write out the current album name
$media.Tag.Album
# Set the album name to the name of the directory
$media.Tag.Album = ([IO.FileInfo]$media.Name).Directory.Name
# Save the new album name into the file
$media.Save()
You could download 7zip for your unzipping purposes.
The following command can be used to unzip the album:
7z.exe x -oOutputDir AlbumArchive(.zip, .rar, .7z, etc)
I'm not too familiar with the ID3 checkers and whatnot, so I'll defer to another for that part of your question.
Upon numerous searches, I am here to see if someone has any idea on how I should go about tackling this issue.
I have a folder with sub-folders. The sub-folder containers each has files of different file types e.g. pdf, png, jpeg, tiff, avi and word documents.
My goal is to write a code in C# that will go into the subfolder, and combined all the files into one pdf using the name of the folder. The only exception is that a file such as avi will not be pdf'ed in which case I want a nudge as to which folder it is and possibly file name. I am trying to use the form approach, so that you can copy in the folder pathname and also destination of the created pdf.
Thanks.
to start, create a FolderBrowserDialog to get the root folder. Alternatively just make a textbox in which you paste the folder name ( less preferred since the first method gives you nicer error-handling straight out of the box )
In order to iterate through, see How to: Iterate Through a Directory Tree
To find the filetype, check System.IO.FileInfo.Extension for each file you iterate through. Add those to list with the data you need. ( hint, create a list of objects in which your object reflects the data you need such as path, type etc,... ). If its an avi don't toss it in the list but flash a warning (messagebox?) instead.
From here the original question gets fuzzy. What exactly do you need in the pdf. Just the filenames and locations or do you actually want to throw the actual contents of the file in pdf?
