  • Planning to create PDF files in Ruby on Rails

    - by deau
    Hi there, A Ruby on Rails app will have access to a number of images and fonts. The images are components of a visual layout which will be stored separately as a set of rules. The rules specify document dimensions along with which images are used and where. The app needs to take these rules, fetch the images, and generate a PDF that is ready for local printing or emailing. The fonts will also be important. The user needs to customize the layout by inputting text which will be included in the PDF. The PDF must therefore also contain the desired font so that the document renders identically across different machines. Each PDF may have many pages. Each page may have different dimensions but this is not essential. Either way, the ability to manipulate the dimensions and margins given by the PDF is essential. The only thing that needs to be regularly changed is the text. If this is takes too much development then the app can store the layouts in 3rd party PDFs and edit the textual content directly. Eventually though, this will prove too restrictive on the apps intended functionality so I would prefer the app to generate the PDF's itself. I have never worked with PDFs before and, for the most part, I've never had to output anything to the user outside their monitor. A printed medium could require a very different approach to get the best results. If anyone has any advice on how to model the PDF format this it would be really appreciated. The technical aspects of printing such as bleed, resolution and colour have already been factored in to the layouts and images. I am aware that PDF is a proprietary file format and I want to use free or open source software. I have seen a number of Ruby libraries for generating PDF files but because I am new on this scene I have no way to reliably compare them and too little time to implement and test them all. I also have the option of using C to handle this feature and if this is process intensive then that might be preferred. What should I be thinking about and how should I be planning to implement this?

  • Bash Script (Cygwin) to grep a logfile for multiple phrases and output a new file for each phrase.

    - by Chris
    Each logfile is titled based on the date it was created in the format YYYY-MM-DD.txt. I need to search each file for five different keywords and output five files prepended with the specific keyword and then the original logfile name. Example: Test-YYYY-MM-DD.txt grep -i -w 'keyword1' YYYY-MM-DD.txt Keyword1-YYYY-MM-DD.txt If it's also possible to email each new file to a different person, that would be helpful as well.

  • Btrieve Date Integer

    - by nmiranda
    Hi everyone, this is my question: I'm migrating data from a Btrieve file (.dat) through Pervasive Control Center and there is field type which is defined as integer but is a date and for example the date '31/12/2009' (seen in the legacy system) is view it as the number 733772 when I export it. The legacy system shows the date correctly but I can't export it in the same format or at least I can't convert it. Does anybody know how to convert this number through Excel or something?

  • How to autodoc .Net Google code projects?

    - by Remus Rusanu
    I know how to generate html documentation using Sandcastle and similar tools. But if I want to host the project on Google code, how can I easily publish the documentation straight into the Google project Wiki pages? I can see the SVN repository has a wiki folder which I assume maps to the project Wiki pages and I guess I can make a build step to build the documentation from the autodoc tags. But is there some tool that generates wiki compatible format from the code documentation tags?

  • How to print source code lines in python logger

    - by anon
    Is there some relatively simple way to programmatically include source code lines to python logger report. For example... import logging def main(): something_is_not_right = True logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=('%(filename)s: ' '%(levelname)s: ' '%(funcName)s(): ' '%(lineno)d:\t' '%(message)s') ) if something_is_not_right == True: logging.debug('some way to get previous line of source code here?') So that output would look like this. example.py: DEBUG: main(): 14: if something_is_not_right == True:

    I'm working on a small application in Java that takes a directory structure and renames the files according to a certain format, after parsing the original name. What is the best Java class / methodology to use in order to facilitate these file operations?

    - by Pranav
    Hey guys, I am working on a Natural Language parser which examines a sentence in english and extracts some information like name, date etc. for example: "Lets meet next tuesday at 5 PM at the beach." So the output will be something like : "Lets meet 15/09/2009 at 1700 hr at the beach" So basically, what i want to know is that is there any framework or library available for JAVA to do these kind of operations like parsing dates from a sentence and give a output with some specified format.

    - by Ugochukwutubelum Chiemenam
    The program is basically about reading from a text file, storing the current data into an ArrayList, then writing data (from user input) into the same text file. Kindly let me know where I am going wrong in this sub-part? The data inside the text file is as follows: abc t1 1900 xyz t2 1700 The compiler is showing an error at the line output.format("%s%s%s%n", public class justTesting { private Scanner input; private Formatter output; private ArrayList<Student> tk = new ArrayList<Student>(); public static void main(String[] args) { justTesting app = new justTesting(); app.create(); app.writeToFile(); } public void create() { Text entry = new Text(); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.printf("%s\n", "Please enter your name, ID, and year: "); while (input.hasNext()) { try { entry.setName(input.next()); entry.setTelNumber(input.next()); entry.setDOB(input.next()); for (int i = 0; i < tk.size(); i++) { output.format("%s%s%s%n", tk.get(i).getName(), tk.get(i) .getTelNumber(), tk.get(i).getDOB()); } } catch (FormatterClosedException fce) { System.err.println("Error writing to file."); return; } catch (NoSuchElementException nsee) { System.err.println("Invalid input.
