LDC #73: Running in the Background Part 2 - Synchronizing Tasks

During my last blog I discussed using background scripts. This week I will elaborate more on synchronizing background scripts and their data. If you haven’t read the previous blog don’t worry, you will be able to follow along. However, this blog does require at least a basic understanding of threading. The first part used a single background thread to track user activity within the application. A background thread is used to allow the user to continue to work in parallel to our script. Another way to use background scripts is to take a task and process it in parallel. Our script this week is an example of this.

LDC #72: Get Crack'n - Working with URIs

The technical term for a web address is a Uniform Resource Identifier or URI. The contents of a URI can be very simple, such as ‘www.gofiler.online’, or very complex. A URL, the common name for a web page is actually a Uniform Resource Locator, which is a component of a larger URI. From within a Legato script one may find the need to either build a query or perhaps take one apart. In this post we will explore how URIs work and how to work with them within Legato.

SEC Issues Notice to Forms N-CEN and N-PORT Filers

On February 12th, the SEC released a notice to N-CEN and N-PORT filers to remind them of the temporary final rule which requires funds in larger fund groups (for example, fund groups with $1 billion or more in net assets) to maintain in their records the information that is mandated to be included in Form N-PORT in lieu of filing this form via EDGAR. The temporary final rule applies until April 1, 2019. Of key importance, the information the funds in larger fund groups maintain in their records will be subject to examination by the Commission. New Forms N-PORT and N-CEN were adopted by the SEC on October 13th, 2016 in an effort to enhance transparency and modernize reporting requirements for registered investment companies.

LDC #71: Validating With The XBRL Object

XBRL can be a challenging topic to tackle. There are a lot of rules to learn for it, and with 14,000+ elements in the US:GAAP taxonomy, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get simpler any time soon. Fortunately, using GoFiler and Legato, we can add some functionality to make things a little easier.

LDC #70: Removing All Selected Hyperlinks

This week we are going to take a look at another client request to be able to remove multiple hyperlinks at the same time. In GoFiler there is a Remove Hyperlink function that will find where the caret currently is and if it is within a hyperlink it will remove the link. If the caret is located before or within an anchor/bookmark tag, the function will remove the anchor instead. However, if you have any text selected the tool gives the user a popup box and does not remove anything. So today we’re going to look at a simple script to hook into the Remove Hyperlink function, check if the user has text highlighted, and if so, remove all hyperlinks and bookmarks that we find in the highlighted section.
