I am quite new to Excel Macros; I am used to using Word Macros to manipulate tables, and it seems Excel is quite different. I am trying to 'cut' the last part of the text in a cell and paste it into the adjacent cell, but cannot find much help on this anywhere. It seems to be a fairly basic...

Sorry, meant APC, not UPS.

Hey, I'm trying to get some info on UPS's above mentioned power controller. The model number is AP9210, but I cannot find it anywhere on UPC's web Site. I cannot figure out how to interface with it - I've got it running into a Mac via network cable. I guess what I need to do is assign it an...

I am looking to automate a video capture using quicktime, but am not sure which tool to use. Automator has the ability to create an application that will create a new capture and start and stop it. This can be used with Ical to schedule when this happens. The problem is that Automator has no...

I am using Flex (basically just another way to design flash applications) and I'm trying to pass in some GET data from the parent document (a PHP file) into the embedded SWF. Is there a simple way to either retrieve the data from within Flash, or to pass it in and then use it within the Flash...

I have several large DV avi files (10+ gigs) which I captured using a third-party program, and I am trying to import them into Premier, but Premier only seems to import the first 5 minutes correctly. After that, it will only display the frame at the 5 minute mark. I tried setting an in and out...

It depends on whether you want to go back to DVD or keep it as a video file (avi). If you want to end up with a compressed AVI file, I would recommend this route: 1. Rip the vobs with a ripper like DVD-decrypter or Smartripper. You can't just copy them over from the DVD. 2. Convert the vobs...

The only thing I can think of (if you're exporting from premier correctly) is that some media players have a "minimum" window size (this is so that there is room for the menu, navigation controls, etc) so if your video is smaller than this, it would just put a black border to fill the extra...

K, thanks for all your great replies. I got a couple more questions now. I tried turning my PHP document into Unicode (notepad supports this, just go to 'save as'), but when I ran the PHP file on my server, it just showed the code and didn't run at all. Did I want to change the XML document...

Also, if anybody can point me to a tutorial on either domxml or xmlparser, that would be fantastic. Thx Natwod

I was trying to use the domxml extension for PHP to read in an XML file, then run through the nodes (tags, attributes, text, everything) and then I'm going to map that data to a MySQL database. But I just discovered the built in xmlparser functions, and I was wondering if they would be a...

I always hand code. The best editor I've seen is Homesite, formerly owned by Allaire, but bought by Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com). It handles just about any text-based Web file type. Natwod

I got it to work! I simply used the URL (not the local path) on my network of the file. Any ideas of why http://natwod/test.xml worked, but not test.xml? I'm using my comp as a test server, and I'm going to be actually using the script on another server, so it would be nice if I could get a...

Yeah, they're in the same directory.

I have Apache and PHP installed on my comp, and I recently added the domxml extension, however, when I try to use the domxml_open_file() function, I get the following errors: Warning: domxml_open_file(): warning: in d:\httpserver\xmlreader.php on line 3 Warning: domxml_open_file(): failed to...
