How to search for brackets in wildcards?

Is there any way to search for ALL characters (including punctuation, dashes, and spaces) that are within brackets [ ], including the brackets? For example, after wildcard searching, I would like ALL of [test1123 abc 7.77] or [aaa 3_1 abc 7.77] to be highlighted (including the brackets) so that I could make them as conditional text.
What is the proper wildcard search string that I should enter? Thanks.

zeedale,
There is no simple, one-shot solution from within FrameMaker. The Wildcard option does not give you a full-fledged regular expression search engine, although that would be nice. The official explanation of wildcard character options is here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7862b-7ff6 .html
One thing could be more precise in the docs: * is for one or more word characters, like | stands for one or more non-word characters.
To achieve your goal I would suggest to do as follows:
To find all one-word instances, search for \[*\] - you have to use \[ for each literal [ because the brackerts are special characters as soon as the Wildcard option is selected
To find two-word instances, search for \[*|*\], etc.

How to search for files using wildcards * and ?.

Hi All,
I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours now and have been unable to find a good example of how to search a directory (Windows OS) for a file using wildcards * and/or ?. Does anyone out there have a good example that they can share with me?
Thanks

Hi All,
First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my question. All of your responses where greatly appreciated.
I took the example code that was posted by rkconner, thanks rkconner, and modified it to allow me to search for files in a directory that contain * and/or ?. Yes, I said and/or! Meaning that you can use them both in the same file name, example: r??d*.t* would find readme.txt.
I've posed my complete and thoroughly document code below. I hope it is very helpful to other as I have searched many forums and spent many hours today trying to resolve this problem.
Enjoy
* File Name: WildcardSearch.java
* Date: Jan 9, 2004
* This class will search all files in a directory using the
* asterisk (*) and/or question mark (?) as wildcards which may be
* used together in the same file name. A File [] is returned containing
* an array of all files found that match the wildcard specifications.
* Command line example:
* c:\>java WildcardSearch c:\windows s??t*.ini
* New sWild: s.{1}.{1}t.*.ini
* system.ini
* Command line break down: Java Program = java WildcardSearch
*                          Search Directory (arg[0]) = C:\Windows
*                          Files To Search (arg[1]) = s??t*.ini
* Note: Some commands will not work from the command line for arg[1]
*        such as *.*, however, this will work if you if it is passed
*        within Java (hard coded)
* @author kmportner

How to search for a BADI in a transaction

Hi All,
Please let me know the steps to find a BADI for a transaction.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

check this.
u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
/people/alwin.vandeput2/blog/2006/04/13/how-to-search-for-badis-trace-it
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

Well, thank you. I am only using Find dialog box. By "name", I'd like to give an example. The background is FM 11 structured. I have an element "xref" which is used to make cross reference. Now In Chapter 1, there is a sentence like "This is an ODU for ...". I made a cross ref of the word "ODU" to its full name "outdoor unit" in Chapter 2 (in the same book). After this, the word "ODU" in the sentence in Chapter 1 will no longer be a plain text. So I no longer can use the find dialog box to search for "ODU" because it is already an xref rather than text. I am not if it's clear.

How to search for password policy

Hello,
Using DS 5.2:
I've created a test policy, dn: cn=Test Policy,ou=People, o=xxx, o=isp. I can apply the policy, I can see the policy in my backup ldifs, but I can't figure out how to search for and display it (and eventually, delete it) either from the command line using ldapsearch or form within the admin gui. Any help?

What I would like to do is query my 8i instance for the current password policy
Can anyone provide a query to retrieve this info?connect as sys
in Oracle 8i and issue the command;
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%PASS%';
and
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%POLICY%';
I think , i'm not sure these policies would be transfered to 10g through migration except -if any- some of them are obsolete to 10g!!!!!
Regards,
Simon

How to search for upper/lower case using string using JAVA!!!?

-I am trying to write a program that will examine each letter in the string and count how many time the upper-case letter 'E' appears, and how many times the lower-case letter 'e' appears.
-I also have to use a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() to tell the user how many upper and lower case e's were in the string.
-This will be repeated until the user types the word "Stop".
please help if you can
what i have so far:
[code]
public class Project0 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] uppercase = {'E'};
String[] lowercase = {'e'};
String isOrIsNot, inputWord;
while (true) {
   // This line asks the user for input by popping out a single window
   // with text input
   inputWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a sentence");
   if ( inputWord.equals("stop") )
    System.exit(0);
   // if the inputWord is contained within uppercase or
   // lowercase return true
   if (wordIsThere(inputWord, lowercase))
    isOrIsNot = "Number of lower case e's: ";
   if (wordIsThere(inputword, uppercase))
     isOrIsNot = "number of upper case e's: ";
   // Output to a JOptionPane window whether the word is on the list or not
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The word " + inputWord + " " + isOrIsNot + " on the list.");
} //main
public static boolean wordIsThere(String findMe, String[] theList) {
for (int i=0; i<theList.length; ++i) {
   if (findMe.equals(theList[i])) return true;
return false;
} // wordIsThere
