Find and Replace a Blank in Load Rules

<BR>Does anyone know if it is possible to find and replace a blank cell with a member name within Essbase Load Rules? My source data (a .txt file) has blanks within a single dimension that I need to replace with an Essbase member name so I can load it into the essbase cube. Until I add characters into the 'Find' window within Find and Replace, the option to add it in is greyed out. I am using Essbase 6.5.1<BR><BR>

From the DBag: Replacing an Empty Field with Text <BR><BR>You may want to replace empty fields in a column with text. If, for example, empty fields in the column represent default values, you could insert the default values to replace the empty ones or insert #MI to represent missing values. <BR><BR>Replacing an empty field with text requires several steps. To replace an empty field with text: <BR><BR>Select the column containing the empty fields you want to replace. <BR><BR>Choose Field > Create Using Text or click the Create Using Text button, . <BR><BR>Enter the text to put in the new field. Enter a dummy string that is not in the selected column, such as "temp." Click OK. <BR><BR>Join the new field with the column containing the fields to replace.

Click the Global Properties tab. <BR><BR>Enter the text string you want to replace in the Replace text box. This should be the dummy string you entered in step 3; for example, temp. Now enter the text to replace it with in the With text box. This should be the final value you want to put in the fields, for example, default. Select the Match Whole Word. <BR><BR>Click Add and then click OK. <BR><BR>Now replace the extra dummy strings in the column with nothing. Choose Field > Properties or click the Field Properties button, . Click the Global Properties tab. Enter the dummy string in the Replace text box; for example, temp.

  • How do I find and replace text in PHP files?

    How can I in CS3 make sitewide changes to the text in PHP pages without changing variable names etc that have the same name?
    For example if I have an installation of a PHP forum and I want to change every instance of the word 'forum' to 'message board'...
    If I used the 'inside tag' search with " as the tag, then if "" contained a variable called 'forum' it would also be changed and therefore corrupt the code....
    Is there a simple way around this?
    Thanks!
    I'm using CS3 on Windows Vista.

    It looks like you're trying to find and replace source code, so you may be able to look at the various places that are looked at when finding and uncheck the ones that don't apply.
    But, if it's all source code then that won't help.  One thing that may work is to expand the search option - for example if the work "forum" that you're wanting to change it preceded by another word, or character or something that sets it apart, then do you find on that. You can expand that search phrase as far out in either direction that you need to to make it different, if of course that is practical in your situation.
    The only other way I can think of is to somehow create an exception rule, but I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.

  • Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

    Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
    it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
    1) comes completely blank
    2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
    I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
    Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
    tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

  • How to use Microsoft Word's Find and Replace with HTML tags?

    Hello to all!
    I'm trying to figure out how to use the find and replace function in Word to replace html tags. I'd like to be able to change something like this:
    <span class="B01-K-ITAL">random text</span>
    To something like this:
    <em>random text</em>
    I want to replace the open and close tags without changing or interfering with the text between the tags. I'm pretty sure I should use wildcards, but I can't figure out how to use them properly.
    Anyone able to lend a hand?

    Here is my latest regular expression with Perl.   I think it matches the spirit of the request in the original post.
    Note, this isn't as easy as you think.  You need to code up the complete set of html rules in you implementation. You need to allow for a certain amount of mal-formed html.

  • Is there a way to find and replace prices in an Indesign document from a CSV file?

    Is there a way to find and replace prices in an Indesign document from a CSV file. Currenty I have a catalog with codes and prices in tables. I need to find a way to look up the code (and new price) in the CSV file and overwrite the price in the current table with the new price. Does anyone know of a script to run this quickly?

    Hi,
    Try this
    1) with all the images showing, got to Find -> By caption or Note
    2) enter the caption you are looking for Image Description and click on OK
    It should display all the ones with that caption
    3) select a few images as a test
    4) go to Edit -> Add caption to selected items
    5) if you want to blank out the captions just check the box to replace the caption and click on ok
    6) You will need to confirm the blank captions
    You could use a similar procedure to change the caption to something else.
    Good luck

  • Dreamweaver CS6 "Find and Replace" not working

    Since I've started working in DW CS6 I've noticed that the Find and Replace feature isn't working completely.
    E.g. If I select a block of code, then open Find and Replace, tell it to find "<br />" and replace it with "</li>" it only replaces the first instance. The rest of the <br />'s are still <br />'s.
    Is this happening to anyone else? I may have to switch back to CS5.

    Change the selection in the 'Search:' dropdown from the default 'Source:'  to 'Text' or 'Text (Advanced)' and you will get the desired result.
    bracdiver, your post may be useful in some examples, like the ones I posted above. However, this does not work in my intended example below (which is source code specific), where the actual source code needs to be replaced:
    Sample
         <p>These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.</p>
    <ol>
        <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen</li>
        <li>35% of people are going to school.</li>
        <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series.</li>
        <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"</li>
        <li>There is no blank under this question. <i>Answer beside this question instead.</i></li>
    </ol>
    Using these options
    Find in: Selected Text (first four list items)
    Search: Source code:
    Find: </li>
    Replace: <br />___________________</li>
    Options enabled: Match case
    Desired output:
    <p>These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.</p>
    <ol>
        <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen<br />___________________</li>
        <li>35% of people are going to school.<br />___________________</li>
        <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series.<br />___________________</li>
        <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"<br />___________________</li>
        <li>There is no blank under this question. <i>Answer beside this question instead.</i></li>
    </ol>
    CS6 DW output:
    <p>These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.</p>
    <ol>
        <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen<br />___________________</li>

        <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"</li>
        <li>There is no blank under this question. <i>Answer beside this question instead.</i></li>
    </ol>
    Using your workaround (with 'Inside Tag' option set to li), this will not work as does not change any text at all.

  • Reformatting files in Dreamweaver: Batch series of .dwr files (find and replace) consecutively

    I have to do complicated reformatting of an entire site. It's been simplified to a series of find and replace tasks for each file. Each find and replace string has been saved as a .dwr file. Currently I have to load and execute each .dwr file.
    How do you batch process or automate this task in Dreamweaver? In other words, queue up a series of .dwr files to be executed consecutively?

    OK here we go.
    This example, a simple Dreamweaver  Command Extension, will execute two Find and Replace commands in one go. (It can be any number of Find and Replace commands.)
    The first command replaces "the" and "this" with "phe" and "phis". The second command replaces <ul> ... </ul> with <ol> ... </ol>. (These of course can be any Find and Replace.)
    You need two files: a HTML file (for the  UI) and a Javascript file (for actions). I named them "Find and Replace Test.html" and "Find and Replace Test.js". (They can be any name.)
    Find and Replace Test.html
    <!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "-//Adobe//DWExtension layout-engine 10.0//dialog">
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <Title>Find and Replace Test</Title>
    <script src="Find and Replace Test.js"></script>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <form>
         <p>Are you sure?</p>
    </form>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    Find and Replace Test.js
    function canAcceptCommand() {
        return true;
    function commandButtons() {
        return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()");
    function doIt() {
        dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
            searchString: "th(e|is)",
            replaceString: "ph$1",
            searchWhat: "document",
            searchSource: true,
            useRegularExpressions: true
        dreamweaver.replaceAll();
        dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
            searchString: "<(/?)ul>",
            replaceString: "<$1ol>",
            searchWhat: "document",
            searchSource: true,
            useRegularExpressions: true
        dreamweaver.replaceAll();
        window.close();
    Basically you can call any number of this pair of functions in the script:
    dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace(findAndReplaceObject);
    dreamweaver.replaceAll();
    Place these HTML and JS files in this directory:
    Dreamweaver App Directory/Configuration/Commands/ 
    Then in Dreamweaver, open "Insert" window. (You need to have a HTML file open in order to make the Insert window active.) At the top of the Insert window there's a category dropdown menu  ("Common" etc.). Do alt + click (ctrl + click) - then you'll see an item "Reload Extenesions" at the bottom of the dropdown. This will load this extension to DW. (Alternatively you can restart DW to load the extension.)
    Now it's ready to run the Extension. Open a HTML document you want to modify. Go to "Commands" on the menu bar. At the bottom of the dropdown there should be an item "Find and Replace Test". Select and enjoy
    Notes
    This example is set to perform the Find and Replace on the current document. You can change the scope to the entire site, or the selected files, etc, just like in the Find and Replace dialogue box. The API doc is here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed a.html
    You can use dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace(xmlQueryString) command instead. xmlQueryString is basically <dwquery> ... </dwquery> in your .dwr files, you can copy from your .dwr files. However xmlQueryString needs to be one continuous string (no line breaks), which can be a pain The doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed 9.html

  • Question about Find and Replace PL/SQL option in Forms Builder

    Dear All
    I have a small question .
    I am using Find and Replace PLSQ/SQL in forms Builder ( Edit - Find and Replace PLSQL) to search any code in a form.
    Let say I am searching for EMP .
    Then all the places is coming where EMP is used as well as EMPloyee , EMPloyee_Desc tables also coming .
    So is there any way to serach only the EMP part .

    If you look closely to the right of the "Find What" field, you should see a button - "Expression". This allows you to add some logic to your search. Alternatively, depending on how you code, you could just look for spaces. For example, if you are looking for EMP and not EMPLOYEE, search for EMP with a blank space before and after it (assuming you code this way) or use something like this \bEMP\b This would work for me because I code the same way I write sentences - each work is separated by spaces.
    <blockquote> EMPLOYEE := EMP || ' - ID';</blockquote>
    In this example, seaching for EMP with a blank space after would find what I wanted. However, if you only search for a trailing blank, you may end up also finding words like tEMP. This is where have a blank space before each word is helpful.
    Other, more valuable expressions could be written to accomplish your task. Refer to the Forms Builder Online help for more information about using Expressions in the Find and Replace search window.

  • How to do this find and replace?

    I have been trying to figure out the regex for this find and replace (I thought it would be easy!), but my frustration is getting the better of me and any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm trying to do two find and replaces:
    1) In the first, I'd like to find:
    </script>
    XXXX
    </head>
    where XXXX are always four letters (uppercase) and I want to store the four letters as a variable ($1) to use in the replace
    I'd like to replace this with a bunch of javascript and in the middle of the script, I'd place the variable referencing these four letters (<script type="text/javascript">var blah = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("http://$1.com"blahblah</script></head>
    2) The second find is similar:
    </html>
    XXXXXXXX
    where once again X are 8 letters in uppercase following the close of the html tag (this has resulted from previous find and replaces and now I'm trying to correct things)
    I simply want to delete these letters in this case (so will leave the replace blank).
    Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thank you

    Having 46 people view a post without replying is not unusual. Some people look at a question to see if it's something they'd like to know the answer to, and then come back  when it has eventually been answered.
    I'm not sure if you need to escape forward slashes in Dreamweaver's Find and Replace dialog box, but I normally do because both JavaScript and PHP normally use forward slashes as delimiters to mark the beginning and end of the regex like this:
    var pattern = /[A-Z]{4}/; // JavaScript
    $pattern = '/[A-Z]{4}/';   // PHP
    When a forward slash appears inside the regex, you need to escape it with a backslash to avoid confusion with the closing delimiter.
    As you have worked out, a capturing group is created by wrapping part of the regex in parentheses.
    If you want to match exactly 38 characters, you can use [\S\s]{38}. That includes spaces, newline characters, symbols, everything.
    If you're trying to find everything between two tags, you can do this:
    (<\/tag_name>)([^<]+)
    The closing tag is captured as $1 and everything up to the next opening tag is captured as $2.
    Learning regular expressions is not easy. I don't claim to be an expert, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to solve them. If you're interested in regular expressions, there are several books published by O'Reilly. "Mastering Regular Expressions" is the ultimate authority, but it's a difficult read (not because it's badly written, but because of the complexity of the subject). "Regular Expressions Cookbook" is very good. There's also a new "Introducing Regular Expressions", but I haven't read it.

  • Find and Replace Lines

    I am running ID CS2. I have a document with several hundred lines, all the same size and justified left. I would like to do a find and replace and have the same lines replaced but centered. Every time I copy a centered line and do a replace, it replaces but not centered. Is there a way to do this?

    However, Find/Change SHOULD be able to handle this. Make sure that you've pressed the "more options" button to show the formatting options.
    Paste enough of the text into the find field to be sure it finds the right thing, then open the "find" format dialog and select the current alignment (remember, left aligned is not the same as left justified, which is justified text up to the last line, and then left align the last line). Leave the change field blank, and enter the new alignment option in the change options dialog.
    If you haven't already set up styles, this would be a good time to do it. You can use Find/change to apply the style instead of just changing the alignment.

  • Prevent Find and Replace from closing after clicking "Replace All"

    With the latest release of Dreamweaver CC (2014.1.1), there's been a minor change to the way Find and Replace works. I use Find and Replace a lot to clean up and delete code, so I might do many searches in a row to get things tidy. With the new version however, the Find and Replace window always closes after clicking "Replace All", which is very cumbersome. I need to open it up again, and it doesn't remember the text I entered to use as a replacement.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this window from closing after doing a Replace All? The previous version of Dreamweaver would keep it open and remember the text either until I changed it or I closed Find and Replace myself.
    Any pointers that would get me a little closer to the previous version's functionality would be appreciated!

    You need to do a find/change for each code individually, but it should be scriptable to take the .csv file and use it to load the find and change values. I'd try asking this over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting

  • Find and replace smart quotes with straight quotes?

    I understand I can turn off smart quotes so that I can type straight quotes, but I need to replace hundreds of curly smart quotes with straight quotes, is there a feature that will let me do this? I am using FM8.
    Thanx,
    Willian

    I am using FM9....so I don't know if the same shortcuts apply, but this is what I found out last week.
    Use the Find and Replace tool:
    With smart quotes turned off and the Num Lock key turned on:
    Alt0147 will give you beginning quotation marks
    Alt0148 will give you ending quotation marks
    In the Find box use ALT0147 or ALT0148 for the beginning or ending quotes. When you click in the box and type
    one of the shortcuts the correct quote will be shown in the box.
    In the replace box type the regular straight quotes on your keyboard.
    I was thrilled that it would work!...course you do have to do them separately and be careful not to replace the curly quotes
    that you want to leave in your document.
    Hope this helps using FM8....
