Is it possible to run a vbscript file from an air app?
I haven't found any examples of this and am unsure if it's possible.
I have a vbscript that automates some printing from word, and wanted to make a front end for this is adobe air.
Many thanks
I believe you can try to achieve your goal using Native Process
Follow some example running a .exe file
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs.push("hello");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
public function onOutputData(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
var stdOut:ByteArray = process.standardOutput;
var data:String = stdOut.readUTFBytes(process.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
trace("Got: ", data);
}

I am using this code to download file from my bot.
this work in local but does'nt work in server.
i'm using webhook. please help me.
thanks
private async Task SaveFileAsync(Update update, TelegramBotClient bot)
{
string fs = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+ #"Uploads\";
var FileId = update.Message.Document.FileId;
var fileInfo = await bot.GetFileAsync(FileId);
var filename = fileInfo.FileId + "." + fileInfo.FilePath.Split('.').Last();
string strFilePath = fs + filename;
FileStream saveImageStream = System.IO.File.Open(strFilePath, System.IO.FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
await bot.DownloadFileAsync(fileInfo.FilePath, saveImageStream, CancellationToken.None);
saveImageStream.Dispose();
}
enter image description here
I solved the problem.
this method should be void and without async.
and then we must remove await before bot.DownloadFileAsync
I have read a lot of questions and answers, but are not really satisfied and successful
My Problem: write with Kotlin to a sdcard to a specific directory
Working is
var filenamex = "export.csv"
var patt = getExternalFilesDirs(null)
var path = patt[1]
//create fileOut object
var fileOut = File(path, filenamex)
//create a new file
fileOut.createNewFile()
with getExternalFIlesDirs() I get the external storage and the sdcard. With path = patt[1] i get the adress of my sd-card.
this is
"/storage/105E-XXXX/Android/data/com.example.myApp/files"
This works to write data in this directory.
But I would like to write into an other directory, for example
"/sdcard/myApp"
A lot of examples say, this should work, bit it does not.
So I tried to take
"/storage/105E-XXXX/myApp"
Why doesn't it work? Ist the same beginning of storage /storage/105E-XXXX/, so it is MY sd-card.?
As I mentioned, it works on the sd-card, so it is not a problem of write-permission to the sdcard?
Any idea?
(I also failed with FileOutputStream and other things)
Try Out this..
var filenamex = "export.csv"
var path = getExternalStorageDirectory() + "//your desired folder"
var fileOut = File(path, filenamex)
fileOut.createNewFile()
I got an assignment to see if I can make power app that will generate some PDF file for end user to see.
After through research on this topic I found out that this is not an easy to achieve :)
In order to make power app generate and download/show generated pdf I made these steps:
Created power app with just one button :) to call Azure function from step 2
Created Azure function that will generate and return pdf as StreamContent
Due to power app limitations (or I just could not find the way) there was no way for me to get pdf from response inside power app.
After this, I changed my Azure function to create new blob entry but know I have problem to get URL for that new entry inside Azure function in order to return this to power app and then use inside power app Download function
My Azure function code is below
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Aspose.Words;
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log, Stream outputBlob)
{
log.Info($"C# HTTP trigger function processed a request. RequestUri={req.RequestUri}");
var dataDir = #"D:/home";
var docFile = $"{dataDir}/word-templates/WordAutomationTest.docx";
var uid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "");
var pdfFile = $"{dataDir}/pdf-export/WordAutomationTest_{uid}.pdf";
var doc = new Document(docFile);
doc.Save(pdfFile);
var result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
var stream = new FileStream(pdfFile, FileMode.Open);
stream.CopyTo(outputBlob);
// result.Content = new StreamContent(stream);
// result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
// result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName = Path.GetFileName(pdfFile);
// result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
// result.Content.Headers.ContentLength = stream.Length;
return result;
}
I left old code (the one that streams pdf back under comments just as reference of what I tried)
Is there any way to get download URL for newly generated blob entry inside Azure function?
Is there any better way to make power app generate and download/show generated PDF?
P.S. I tried to use PDFViewer control inside power app, but this control is completely useless cause U can not set Document value via function
EDIT: Response from #mathewc helped me a lot to finally wrap this up. All details are below.
New Azure function that works as expected
#r "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage"
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Aspose.Words;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob;
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log, CloudBlockBlob outputBlob)
{
log.Info($"C# HTTP trigger function processed a request. RequestUri={req.RequestUri}");
var dataDir = #"D:/home";
var docFile = $"{dataDir}/word-templates/WordAutomationTest.docx";
var uid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "");
var pdfFile = $"{dataDir}/pdf-export/WordAutomationTest_{uid}.pdf";
var doc = new Document(docFile);
doc.Save(pdfFile);
var result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
var stream = new FileStream(pdfFile, FileMode.Open);
outputBlob.UploadFromStream(stream);
return req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, outputBlob.Uri);
}
REMARKS:
Wee need to add "WindowsAzure.Storage" : "7.2.1" inside project.json. This package MUST be the same version as one with same name that is in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Azure.Functions.Cli
If you change your blob output binding type from Stream to CloudBlockBlob you will have access to CloudBlockBlob.Uri which is the blob path you require (documentation here). You can then return that Uri back to your Power App. You can use CloudBlockBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync to upload your PDF Stream to the blob.
Updated my MVC3/.Net 4.5/Azure solution to MVC4.
My code for uploading an image to blob storage appears to fail each time in the upgraded MVC4 solution. However, when I run my MVC3 solution works fine. Code that does the uploading, in a DLL, has not changed.
I’ve uploaded the same image file in the MVC3 and MVC4 solution. I’ve inspected in the stream and it appears to be fine. In both instance I am running the code locally on my machine and my connections point to blob storage in cloud.
Any pointers for debugging? Any known issues that I may not be aware of when upgrading to MVC4?
Here is my upload code:
public string AddImage(string pathName, string fileName, Stream image)
{
var client = _storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
client.RetryPolicy = RetryPolicies.Retry(3, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
var container = client.GetContainerReference(AzureStorageNames.ImagesBlobContainerName);
image.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
var blob = container.GetBlobReference(Path.Combine(pathName, fileName));
blob.Properties.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
blob.UploadFromStream(image);
return blob.Uri.ToString();
}
I managed to fix it. For some reason reading the stream directly from the HttpPostFileBase wasn't working. Simply copy it into a new memorystream solved it.
My code
public string StoreImage(string album, HttpPostedFileBase image)
{
var blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference("containerName");
if (container.CreateIfNotExist())
{
// configure container for public access
var permissions = container.GetPermissions();
permissions.PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Container;
container.SetPermissions(permissions);
}
string uniqueBlobName = string.Format("{0}{1}", Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), Path.GetExtension(image.FileName)).ToLowerInvariant();
CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(uniqueBlobName);
blob.Properties.ContentType = image.ContentType;
image.InputStream.Position = 0;
using (var imageStream = new MemoryStream())
{
image.InputStream.CopyTo(imageStream);
imageStream.Position = 0;
blob.UploadFromStream(imageStream);
}
return blob.Uri.ToString();
}
I'm trying to convert HTML stream to XML using SgmlReader for further parsing. This conversion is part of an APP i'm developing for Windows 8 Store. Below is the method that convert Html to XML:-
public static void ConvertToXml(string webResponse)
{
StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter();
XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(sWriter);
SgmlReader sgmlReader = new SgmlReader();
sgmlReader.DocType = "HTML";
sgmlReader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.All;
sgmlReader.CaseFolding = CaseFolding.ToLower;
sgmlReader.InputStream = new StringReader(webResponse);
sgmlReader.IgnoreDtd = true;
while (!sgmlReader.EOF)
{
xmlWriter.WriteNode(sgmlReader, true);
}
xmlWriter.Flush();
XmlString = sWriter.ToString();
}
The sgmlReader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.All; is the problem as Xml.WhitespaceHandling is not present. Is there anyother way to do this?
After alot of reading and testing/debugging just found that sgmlReader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.All is not needed atleast in my case, as sgmlReader.WhitespaceHandling is set to All by default. However i removed sgmlReader.IgnoreDtd = true; and now my Xml file look Normal ;)
Hope this will help someone
