I am actually converting all DDS files to use MSGID instead of plain text. I can now change the display language of the application just by choosing the right library with the MSGF in French, English, ...
But for the commands, it seems that CRTCMD needs a language file at compile time (with PMTFILE) and uses theses strings to generate the command. I could eventually delete the MSGF but the command will display the texts.
What I want to achieve is using the same *CMD object and be able to change the language when needed at run time.
**Edit: assuming a currently supported release, 6.1 or higher...
I think you want to use *DYNAMIC on the CRTCMD PMTFILE() parameter
*DYNAMIC
When the command is prompted, prompt text messages
will be dynamically retrieved from the message file
specified for this parameter using the message
identifiers stored in the *CMD object when the command
was created. The message identifier specified for the
PROMPT or CHOICE parameter on a CMD, PARM, QUAL, or
ELEM command definition statement must be found in the prompt text
message file when the command is being prompted.
So something like
CRTCMD CMD(MYLIB/MYCMD) PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM) SRCFILE(MYLIB/QCMDSRC)
SRCMBR(MYCMD) PMTFILE(*LIBL/MYMSGF *DYNAMIC)

I have just started learning the Forth programming language.
I'm using Gforth on Ubuntu. In Gforth interactive console, I want to do indentation but it requires changing line. Enter key didn't work, it executed code. For comparison, for example, when one tests JavaScript code in web browser console, shift+enter change line without executing code. I want something like that. What key should I press? Is there a way other than using text editors like vim?
Best.
Gforth doesn't support multiline editing (see the manual).
A workaround is to edit a file in your favorite editor in another window and reload this file in Gforth console as:
include /tmp/scratch.fs
An external file can be also edited in Gforth console via a command like:
"vim /tmp/scratch.fs" system
So a one-liner for that is:
"vim /tmp/scratch.fs" system "/tmp/scratch.fs" included
That can be wrapped into a definition as:
: scratch "vim /tmp/scratch.fs" system "/tmp/scratch.fs" included ;
So the word scratch will open an editor and than load the edited file.
NB: if you use a quite old build of Gforth, you have to use s" ccc" instead of "ccc" for string literals.
To conditionally include/exclude some parts in a file the words [defined] and [if] can be used; to erase the previous instance of the loaded definitions the word marker can be used as:
[defined] _clear [if] _clear [then]
marker _clear
\ some definitions
\ ...
Take into account that usual control-flow words can be used in definitions only.
I am using Sublime Text 3 and am trying to access the command palette using ctrl-shift-P. This shortcut is not working. I am running Ubuntu 16.04. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
The two main reasons for this sort of situation (regardless of the key sequence in question) are:
A user installed plugin or custom key binding is bound to the same key, which is taking precedence and stopping the action that you expect from happening
Some external process is eating the keystroke before Sublime even gets to see it.
In order to diagnose which it might be, you can open the Sublime console with View > Show Console or by pressing Ctrl+`, then enter the following commands:
sublime.log_commands(True)
sublime.log_input(True)
Once you've done that, press the key sequence in question and check the output in the console. In your specific case, you should see this:
key evt: shift+control+p
command: show_overlay {"overlay": "command_palette"}
Not seeing the command that you expect indicates that some other action is bound to the key in question, and usually the command will lead you to what's causing the problem.
Not seeing the key event means that some external process is eating the key. This could be some global program or it could be something in the OS doing it (in the case of Linux, the window manager).
It's also possible that you see a different key event entirely, which indicates that your keyboard layout is not what Sublime expects.
Depending on the situation you may be able to disable whatever is eating the key. Presuming you can't find what that is or otherwise don't want to disable it, or if the event shows that Sublime is seeing a different key, the solution is to change the key binding.
The procedure for this is to find the binding that's not working and copy it to your custom key bindings, changing the key as appropriate to something that Sublime can see.
For core Sublime key bindings, look in Preferences > Key Bindings to find the key in question. For packages, that's generally in Preferences > Package Settings > PACKAGENAME > Key Bindings.
In your case, the setting is a default key binding, so looking in the default key bindings yields the following binding, which you can put in your custom key bindings and change as needed:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+shift+p"],
"command": "show_overlay",
"args": {"overlay": "command_palette"}
},
Something that I found:
Weirdly my Sublime Text 3 doesn't recognise the command if I use LCTRL abd LSHIFT. Using RCTRL+RSHIFT+p opens the command palette, so try that.
In my case it was an app called https://noiz.io which had stolen this shortcut. It can take a bit of time as there isn't (AFAIK) a way to find the application which is bound to a shortcut.
In my case a Pomodoro app I just installed had a command for starting clock defined with the same shortcut and it was stealing the event from Sublime. Just removed the shortcut assignment and it works now.
I get the version number of the firefox from the applications.ini.
Then I hardcoded that between date #### and #### v35 is release. So now based on this and the current date and version from applications.ini I figure out the channel of other builds.
But now I want to get the localized name of the channel.
So for example I'm using beta channel and from this build I want to get the localized name of "Nightly" in chineese, so it has the chineese characters, and word for nightly in chineese. Can this also be obtained from the applications.ini? Is [App] -> Name localized in applications.ini?
This is the applications.ini method: https://ask.mozilla.org/question/705/detect-if-auroranightlybetanormal-and-get-paths/ (credits to #paa)
EDIT
i discovered this file: OS.Path.join(Services.dirsvc.get('XREExeF', Ci.nsIFile).parent.path, 'defaults', 'pref', 'channel-prefs.js')
its contents is the following:
//#line 2 "c:\builds\moz2_slave\rel-m-beta-w32_bld-00000000000\build\browser\app\profile\channel-prefs.js"
/* This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public

pref("app.update.channel", "beta");
Is this a reliable check? Does this channel-prefs.js file exist for all builds as soon as they are installed?
Is this a reliable check?
Not really. There used to be channel switcher add-ons, and in theory the user can change this pref (although at the moment this is not sufficient to really switch the channel I think).
Does this channel-prefs.js file exist for all builds as soon as they are installed?
Yes, for now. But this is an implementation detail. There is no guarantee that the file won't be moved or renamed later, or merged with another file.
Can this also be obtained from the applications.ini?
The localized name? I didn't even know there was one... I thought it was called e.g. "Nightly" in all locales like it was a (product) name. But yeah, it is theoretically possible to localize that string. It is not available from the ini file, though.
I wouldn't poke in application.ini anyway, and instead just use Services.appinfo.defaultUpdateChannel
But now I want to get the localized name of the channel.
Since you're in a running Firefox instance already (judging from your OS.File code), you should use the string bundle service to load chrome://branding/locale/brand.properties and get the brandShortName or brandFullName string from there.
I have a spss syntax file that I need to run on multiple files each in a different directory with the same name as the file, and I am trying to too do this automatically. So far I have tried doing it with syntax code and am trying to avoid doing python is spss, but all I have been able to get is the code bellow which does not work.
VECTOR v = key.
LOOP #i = 1 to 41.
GET
FILE=CONCAT('C:\Users\myDir\otherDir\anotherDir\output\',v(#i),'\',v(#i),'.sav').
DATASET NAME Data#i WINDOW=FRONT.
*Do stuff to the opened file
END LOOP.
EXE.
key is the only column in a file that contains all the names of the files.
I am having trouble debugging since I don't know how to print to the screen if it is possible. So my question is: is there a way to get the code above to work, or another option that accomplishes the same thing?
You can't use an expression like that on a GET command. There are two choices. Use the macro language to put this together (see DEFINE in the Command Syntax Reference via the Help menu) or use the SPSSINC PROCESS FILES extension command or your own Python code to select the files with a wildcard.
The extension command or a Python program require the free Python Essentials available from the SPSS Community website or available with your Statistics version.
I am building a Windows Service which will be deployed on four servers. My user wants to have the service read a configuration file from a common location, and load it OnStart.
I want the installation to prompt the user for the file path and file name to the configuration file when the service is installed, and then save that data in My.Settings.
I have figured out how to set the EDITA1 and EDITA2 variables in the Deployment project's UI, so that the user will be prompted for path and file name, but I don't know how to get those values out and into the settings of the service.
Help, please.

Did you try passing it to the custom action using CustomActionData Property in the Custom Action property window. syntax is /param=[EDITA1]
Context.Parameters will contain a dictionary with 1 entry key being "param" (in my example above that's the key I gave it).
I'm having a problem with passing in parameters which contain spaces. the guidelines say:
For custom actions that are installation components (ProjectInstaller
classes), the CustomActionData property takes a format of /name=value.
Multiple values must be separated by a single space: /name1=value1
/name2=value2.
If the value has a space in it, it must be surrounded by
quotes: /name="a value".
Windows Installer properties can be passed using the bracketed syntax:
/name=[PROPERTYNAME].
For Windows Installer properties such as [TARGETDIR]
that return a directory, in addition to the brackets you must include quotes
and a trailing backslash: /name="[TARGETDIR]\".
When I try the "[EDITA1]\" for the file path I need.. I get the 'FileNotFound' error for "C..\Microsoft..." while my path didn't have Microsoft
