Yes, I know. In fact, I need to rename them, and that's what makes the way this works a problem. I have to rename them using a list of values gathered from another source. I gather these other data values into an array, numerically indexed, starting with 1. These values are ordered to match...

I'm exporting a Crystal Report to HTML and am experiencing two problems that are really bugging me, and I'm hoping that maybe someone here has some solutions. First, when I export the report directly from within Crystal, it creates a set of files that are numbered, 1...n, starting with the...

I've tried that and it still doesn't work. I've even tried separate procedures. The only thing that really works is to run the two things in completely separate runs, i.e. as two separate scripts. I've done some more noodling and determined that the mere act of setting the oChart object is...

Thanks. Unfortunately, it didn't resolve the original problem. Bummer.

Mmm, seems easier said than done. If I add this line,... oChart.AutoScaling = False ...I get a run time error, "Method of 'AutoScaling' of object '_Chart' failed". Am I not trying to set this property correctly?

I'm working with Powerpoint 2003, running on WinXP. I have Presentations that contain slides with multiple embedded Charts on the slides. I'm trying to automate formatting certain aspects of the charts and the shapes that contain them. I've written the following procedure to make the changes...

Thanks. The sed command worked.

I'm trying to copy a text file into a table. The copy command fails on the first record and I believe it's because it's trying to copy the \r\n characters at the end of each line. Is there a way to copy the file and exclude these special characters? To strip them out of the file itself?

register_globals is set to off on our server Henry

I'm using the PDF-PHP class from ROS to stream a PDF file to the browser. The user fills in a form and clicks a submit button, which opens a second php page, which streams the PDF output to the browser. I'm experiencing some weird behavior on some PCs, however. They will stream the PDF...

It's Linux Redhat 9 server. Thanks for your responses. I was actually trying to write a perl script to do this because my attempt to use the find -exec in cron failed. I just figured out this morning it was because I was using two slashes before the semi-colon. That works on AIX...

I need to delete files and the directories that contain them when they, the files (and directories; they'll be of the same date), are older than a specified number of days. I'm using the following code... #!/usr/bin/perl -w # cleandumps.ps -clean pgsql...

Awesome script. Really gives me a leg up on the mechanics of the process anyway. Thank you, Leland.

Thanks for your response, Leland. I have read Roycrom's FAQ and it may come in handy when I get around to actually scripting my dump processes. It doesn't really answer my question, though. My questions in fact, revolve somewhat around the options for pg_dump. In all the posts I've read at...

We run PostgreSQL 7.3 on a Redhat 9 server. I wonder if people would be willing to share a bit with me about their backup approaches. I'm not looking so much for details, e.g. the text of scripts, but rather, I'd like to know how you think about it and what your strategy is. Do you back up...
