A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

We have a script ( a batch file ) sett up on a computer that allows us to send mail from a command line to an email address.

My goal is to setup a webpage, so that from any computer I can go to this page, enter an email address, hit submit, and have the web server process the script and send out the email.

I know how to setup IIS on Windows server. I can most likely figure out how to create a simple web page that accepts input.

How do I pass along the input to the script and make it execute ?

Is there a ready made template that can be purchased ?

I'm building a form to do a quick search for real estate listings. There is something wrong with the formatting with the very last set of 'select options' however and i can't figure it out. I use WordPress so i'm new to forms anyway. I do know that the city values and property type values are correct. MLS ids are correct.

It's got to be something simple i just can't fix it.

I have a python script that will construct a list of futures contracts for a specified symbol, exchange, and year window. The script will download pricing information from Quandl for each contract in the strip. This script works properly.

import pandas as pd
from pandas import ExcelWriter
import quandl

symbol = 'ES'
exchange = 'CME/'

start_year = 2015
end_year = 2016

#Constructs a list of futures contract codes for a particular symbol
#and timeframe.
futures = []
months = 'HMUZ'
for y in range(start_year, end_year+1):
for m in months:
futures.append("%s%s%s%s" % (exchange, symbol, m, y))

#Download the data from Quandl.
for f in futures:
quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = "xxxx"
data = quandl.get(str(f))
data = data.drop(data.columns[[3, 4, 7]], axis=1)

I have another python script that will create a continuous futures contract from 2 consecutive contracts in the futures strip. It uses the perpetual method; identifying the roll date as the first day where volume of the far contract exceeds volume of near contract, and then adjusts the prices of the previous 4 sessions to roll date by weighting the near and far contracts in increments/decrements of 20%. This script works properly.

import pandas as pd
from pandas import ExcelWriter
import quandl

#Get quandl futures data
quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = "xxxx"
contract_near = quandl.get("CME/ESH2015")
contract_far = quandl.get("CME/ESM2015")

#Drop the columns …

Hello experts,

I am trying to call the ajax function only if there are values in 'stepname' and 'altmethod' else show and alert. When I include the following code, the else part gets executed all the time though there are no values. Could anyone kindly help me with this.

    e.preventDefault();
 var stepname = $('#stepname').val(); 
 var chosen_altmethod = $('#chosen_altmethod').val();
 var altmethod = $('#altmethodname').val();

 
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('stepname',stepname);
formData.append('altmethod',altmethod);
formData.append('chosen_altmethod',chosen_altmethod);
 formData.append('action','nextstep');

 console.log(stepname,"stepname");
console.log(altmethod, "altmethod");
console.log(chosen_altmethod,"chosen_altmethod");

if((stepname=="undefined") && (altmethodname=="undefined")){
  alert('please choose a step');
}else{
        $.ajax({
             type: 'POST',
            url: "<?= base_url() ?>index.php/variants/fetchstep1/",

We are migrating 100 users from Exchange 2010 to O365. I need to run a script that will export to CSV individual permissions there mau be assigned to user calendars, contacts, tasks or mailboxes. I do have a script that runs a high level permission report but not on the granular level to know that user X has read only access to user Y calendar or user A has full access to user B inbox

Hello,
I have in a shell script, a variable that uses xmllint like this:

Xpath_querry = $ (xmllint --shell $ {xmlfile} << EOF
Setrootns << EOF
Xpath count (// defaultns: $ {parse_tag /} / defaultns: $ {tag}))

This worked but now, I have an EOF error in the console at run time.
Would anyone know another way to rewrite this variable (that the variable is used later in the script)?

How to create a DSN file in VBA?

Hi Experts,

I found this code to create a DSN and except of the login and password, everything else seems to work.
Wondering if someone can help me figure out how to do the SQL Authentication mode login/pwd?

     Dim vAttributes As String
        vAttributes = "DSN=MyDSNName" & Chr(0)
        vAttributes = vAttributes & "Description=Self Explnatory" & Chr(0)
        vAttributes = vAttributes & "Trusted_Connection=Yes" & Chr(0)
        vAttributes = vAttributes & "Server=MyServerName\Instance" & Chr(0)
        vAttributes = vAttributes & "Database=DBName" & Chr(0)
        Attributes = Attributes & "LoginID=UserName" & Chr(0) & "pwd=MyPWD" & Chr(0)

        SQLConfigDataSource 0&, 1, "SQL Server", vAttributes

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me with a macro or some script that would search through an excel File called 'Content' and there is another Excel file called URL, with two columns, A has old URL, and column B are what the old URLs should be replaced with.

The problem is that 'Content' has many worksheets with many data, and Excel B contains thousands of links that need to be replaced.

I've attached the excel files.

EDIT:
For example, if "http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/acces/drugs-drogues/index-eng.php" occurs anywhere in the Content workbook, it should be replaced with "https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/special-access/drugs.html"

If it could be done in VBA, great, if not, then any scripting language really.

I currently login to the time from website using the following script.

browser.get("https://www.timeform.com/horse-racing/account/sign-in?returnUrl=%2Fhorse-racing%2F") 
time.sleep(3)
username = browser.find_element_by_id("EmailAddress")
password = browser.find_element_by_id("Password")
username.send_keys("usr")
password.send_keys("pass")
login_attempt = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='submit']")
time.sleep(3)
login_attempt.submit()

it works but I find using Chrome web driver is hammering my CPU. Is there an alternative code I could use that does not mean I need to physically load the page to sign in?

I'm wanting to have a neat and tidy package for multiple images (preferably png, or jpg if I must) that are used in an AutoIt GUI. I'll be sharing it uncompiled, and don't want the mess of a boatload of individual image files.
They will all be the same size (probably 512x512) that will be used at some smaller resolution.

I'm not aware of any way around an icon (.ico) file displaying only the different sizes. (use freeware Real World Icon Editor & Photoshop is avail)
If the best way is to create a .dll then I'll learn. Please give me a bit o guidance (ie visual studio and learn about it (here))
Are there other good approaches?

What is the best way to store a bunch of images?

Hi

I have a shared drive on a windows 2012 server called " Shared"
Within this drive , there is a folder called SCIENCE and within this folder there are sub folders.
Initially I copied this folder from another server through Robocopy. Now I would like to delete this SCIENCE folder.

When I delete I get and error that says Item Not found
Could not find this item
This is no longer located in E:\Shared. Verify the items location and try again.

Please let me know how to delete this SCIENCE Folder. Is there a way of deleting this through Robocopy
If so please post me the exact syntax and tutorials or if there is any other way.
Thanks
