I have two sources of data:
A folder filled with images (in order)
A tab delimited text file
I want to build a deck that has the image on the front and the text on the back. However, I have approximately 300 such cards to make and making them manually would be time-consuming.
I have tried to Import the text file but all it can do is fill one side of the cards with text and leave the other side blank.
Similarly if I use the Media Import add-on, one side will be populated with the image, the other with the image-file name (which is useless for my purposes).
To reiterate, I need the card to have the image on the front side and the text on the back. Strange thing is, I've done this before, but I just can't remember how I did it (was years ago).
Maybe you could give every card an individual number as tag (or you could use the ID Add-on) and also give the the picture just the number of the card, to which it should belong.
Then you could maybe reference in the note template this picture in a way like <img src="{{ID-number}}.jpg" >.
If it does not work this direct way (as I suppose), someone could maybe write some javascript that extracts the ID number from the card field, assign the value to a variable, and use that variable instead in the image reference, so <img src="[[variable]].jpg"> . Unfortunately, I don't know much about javascript and how to extract that number. Maybe someone else can help you with that? I hope I could help you with my answer...
I made a program which might help, though it's not exactly similar. In my case, it's using an image as the question and multiple images as the answer, but the import is performed using a CSV with HTML-formatted questions and answers.
Example excerpt (format is "question, answer"):
<img src='Anatomic Sciences -0.jpg'>,<img src='Anatomic Sciences -1.jpg'><img src='Anatomic Sciences -2.jpg'><img src='Anatomic Sciences -3.jpg'>
<img src='Anatomic Sciences -4.jpg'>,<img src='Anatomic Sciences -5.jpg'><img src='Anatomic Sciences -6.jpg'>
You could use the same pattern but include your text instead of an image reference in the CSV after the comma of each line.

I am familiar with EXIF Tags and how to get them as a dictionary for an image. There are abundant examples on that topic. What I get is a dictionary with many items pertaining to characteristics of an image, like focus, date and time, geo data and so on. What I DO NOT GET and want to be able to read are descriptions that I assigned to an image like: "Kindergarten, Birthday party, Sailing" or whatever. These are named "Description -> Tags" if you right-click on a picture in Windows and go to the Details tab. In Adobe Bridge they are named keywords.
How can I read them in Python?
I have not tested it but this says there is an EXIF tag named ImageDescription that might be what you're looking for.
PS: I'm not really sure about it so wanted to leave this as a comment...but reputation
I have some plain-text kinda-structured screenplays, formatted like the example at the end of this post. I would like to parse each into some format where:
It will be easy to pull up just stage directions that deal with a specific place.
It will be easy to pull up just dialogue belonging to a particular character.
The most obvious approach I can think of is using sed or perl or php to put div tags around each block, with classes representing character, location, and whether it's stage directions or dialogue. Then, open it up as a web-page and use jQuery to pull out whatever I'm interested in. But this sounds like a roundabout way to do it and maybe it only seems like a good idea because these are tools I'm accustomed to. But I'm sure this is a recurring problem that's been solved before, so can anybody recommend a more efficient workflow that can be used on a Linux box? Thanks.
Here is some sample input:
SOMEWHERE CORPORATION - OPTIONAL COMMENT
A guy named BOB is sitting at his computer.
BOB
Mmmm. Stackoverflow. I like.
Footsteps are heard approaching.
ALICE
Where's that report you said you'd have for me?
Closeup of clock ticking.
BOB (looking up)
Huh? What?
ALICE
Some more dialogue.
Some more stage directions.
Here is what sample output might look like:
<div class='scene somewhere_corporation'>
<div class='comment'>OPTIONAL COMMENT</div>
<div class='direction'>A guy named BOB is sitting at his computer.</div>
<div class='dialogue bob'>Mmmm. Stackoverflow. I like.</div>
<div class='direction'>Footsteps are heard approaching.</div>
<div class='dialogue alice'>Where's that report you said you'd have for me?</div>
<div class='direction'>Closeup of clock ticking.</div>
<div class='comment bob'>looking up</div>
<div class='dialogue bob'>Huh? What?</div>
<div class='dialogue alice'>Some more dialogue.</div>
<div class='direction'>Some more stage directions.</div>
</div>
I'm using DOM as an example, but again, only because that's something I understand. I'm open to whatever is considered a best practice for this type of text-processing task if, as I suspect, roll-your-own regexps and jQuery is not the best practice. Thanks.
You could use Celtx to import plain text scripts and export them to HTML (and RDF/XML for the metadata) (see this related thread and this blog post, which describes the file structure).
Other screenplay editors like Trelby might offer this feature, too.
There is also Fountain, a plain text markup language for screenwriting. They offer libraries which you might (I did not check if they offer something for importing and converting) use for your cause:
Fountain is free and open-source, with libraries that make it easy to add support in your apps.
Even if those projects can’t be used for your cause, you could at least reuse their format for your output.
If your input is not too noisy, i.e. if you can trust some regularities like the indentation which is larger for dialogs as opposed to comments, I would use a simple Context Free Grammar. You have good implementations in all languages and you'll find lot of information on SO.
If your input varies a lot, then take the machine learning route, but you'll need to have a big number of inputs with human-validated output for training, which might be a hassle.
In any case, I would never, ever use regular expressions for problems like that.
<div id="temp_1333021214801">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
$browser.text_field(:xpath,".//*[#id='temp_1333018770709']/input").set("apple")
I am getting error "unable to locate element", because the ID changes dynamically.
Please help me to set the text in the text field.
It seems like your dynamic id is temp_ so this should do it given information above:
browser.div(:id, /temp_\d+/).text_field.set 'something'
Issues with my solution is that it assumes id will always be temp_ regex matching any number set consecutively, which seems to be the case with your sample above. Also, it assumes there is no other div(:id, /temp_\d+/) combination in the DOM of that page, most likely should not be an issue.
If you have dynamic IDs I can suggest the following:
Code to object counts. For example
$browser.text_field(:index => 2)
gives the third text_field on the page.
Code to what is around the thing you're trying to find.
$browser.div(:name => 'mydiv').text_field(:index=>2)
gives the third text field in the div called 'mydiv'.
HOWEVER
If your front-end is less-than-testable in this way I highly suggest you put time into thinking over your commitment to automated testing in the first place. Any minor change to the software is going to have you working until 9pm pulling your hair out and rocking back and forth as you update all your scripts, so unless code maintenance is your weekend hobby think about semi-automation or exploratory testing or manual scripts. Talk to development (whomever that might be. It might be you!) or the higher-ups (unless that's you too) to see if it can be made more testable. Also don't use xpaths unless you take some deviant pleasure in it.
Hope that was helpful, I can't do anything specific without the source HTML.
Unfortunately I am having trouble summing up this question in one phrase/line, thus I am forced to initially hint as to what my understanding is before asking the question in fear of me asking a question based on wrong facts or assumptions. As I understand “and please correct me if am wrong”, as I understand captchas work like so:
Have numerous images, and associate each image name/source to its displayed characters value.
Display image, then have user input what they see.
Match user's input against the character value which is associated with that image's name/source.
Assuming my understanding is correct: Given an unlimited amount of time,
Can't one associate image
names/sources with the displayed
characters increasing the chance of
cracking the captcha as they gather
more associations?
In that case, wouldn't the security strength of captchas be parallel the size of the image database?
NOTICE: As i suspected my question was based on wrong understanding.
Short answer! These are dynamic images and they are not stored anywhere. You wont even find them in the source code..
Wikipedia has good explanation about this. Alternatively check out the related questions in SO.
Edit: Goto this page where you can see an example of a captcha. Use firebug to see the HTML code for this image and you will see something like this.
<img height="57" width="300" src="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/image?c=03AHJ_VutaG4ahxWuQv0e6edYypp_FM8QuFIZkG75AnAm8iu3WRmwQ41jqcvojmKmbSKXxkf_s9fk61-axEp77_omKZZEYliE35BND_hXNh3Jac6ZUAeD08wOMZPj4W2s-A39vAI84eim5q-z9kFnmoSmon1jG2LmmFw" style="display: block;">
Did you notice the source? It does not point to an image file.
You can copy this url and generate the image (just open it in a browser). So you can develop an application which can download this image and then scan for color change in pixels and try to match for alphabets and numbers but if you notice almost all the alphabets and numbers are connected and closer so it is difficult to seperate different alphabets.
Even if you manage to seperate most of the alphabtes are not perfect. example :

I want to create visuals along the lines of CNN's "red-state, blue-state" shadings of the states in the U.S. for my project. I'm planning to do something fancier than just shading the state's shape in a color. Are there open source libraries of state shapes/polygons (or - if not open source - others) that I can import into Word, Excel, etc. that I can use to show complicated graphs based on states?
I have Map Point, but haven't been able to figure out how to shade the states in a complex way.
you could try google charts, it looks like http://www.woot.com is doing something similar to what you need
Here is a good example using google maps... I've used code like that before.. perhaps from this exact example.
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states2.htm
EDIT: you might want to consider converting the states.xml into JSON... it'll be smaller (136k of XML right now!) and should load faster in most browsers.
There might be a couple parts to the question you are asking, but to address the first part "Are there open source libraries of state shapes/polygons...", here's a resource to check out:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_maps_of_the_United_States
It's a list of various SVG(scalable vector graphics) files which can be imported into a number of applications. Basically a giant xml representation of lines and endpoints. This can be directly converted to XAML, if you're into a more programmatic way of charting(ie, C# w/ Silverlight).
However, to address the second part regarding MS Office, Visio can import SVG files for manipulation as well. I'm unsure what type of graphs you were looking for, but I hope this can assist in some small way on your path to awesomeness ;)
