Using Underscore In OIDDAS Group Search Text Box

Hi Everyone,
I am using the 'Directory' tab within the Oracle Self Service Console to search for user Groups.
Most of my groups are of the form : PORT_xx_xxxx
I am trying to search for all groups beginning PORT_ but if I enter that as a search query the underscore is treated as a single character wildcard. In my case this means the search results display PORT_xx_xxxx groups as well as a load of PORTAL_xxxx groups
Is there a way to escape the underscore so that it is treated as a character and not a wildcard?
If this was SQL then there is plenty of info out there about escaping underscores but nothing in relation to normal search text boxes.
Matt

Hi Luis,
I tried PORT\_ but it still returns PORT_xx and PORTAL_xx results.
I've got a feeling the text box filters out the usual escape characters making escaping the underscore impossible. It a bit annoying because it isn't as if the underscore is an unusual character to have in a group name!

  • Search Text Box

    I have a deliverable to display text in the search text box of the Top Bar view. When the user clicks the box to enter a search term, the initial string should be cleared allowing the user to type their term and perform a successful search. Here is the code I've tried but it doesn't work. The first line correctly sets the text box value to "Search Entire Portal". The second line is to clear the value when the text box is onFocus but this never happens, the initial string is still visible. Can anyone help?
    textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal");
    textBox.SetOnFocus("textBox.SetValue('');");

    Hi Elyssa,
    There are two problems here, one on your side and one on ours. The first problem is that in your SetOnFocus call, you use "textBox.SetValue('');" as the JavaScript code to execute. At runtime, the JavaScript doesn't know what "textBox" or "SetValue" are - these are Plumtree objects that are used to create the HTML source. What you need to use are JavaScript/DHTML/DOM methods. Instead of referring to "textBox", you can identify the HTML on the page by using it's id attribute. And instead of using "SetValue", you can use the standard "value" method. In this case, the id was created for you when the textBox was created:
    HTMLInput textBox = new HTMLInput(HTMLInputTypes.TEXT, factory.GetInputBoxName(), "");
    Given the id of the HTMLElement, you could do the following:
    textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal"); textBox.SetOnFocus(factory.GetInputBoxName() + ".value='';");
    I mentioned that there were two problems, however. The second problem is that our implementation of SetOnFocus has a bug in which it is not being written out to HTML. There are some options around this. If SetOnClick is enough, this works:
    textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal"); textBox.SetOnClick(factory.GetInputBoxName() + ".value='';");
    If the onclick event doesn't suit your needs, there is one way around this, though it's not very elegent. You can get the DisplayString from the textBox, modify this string by adding the onfocus="inputXXX.value='';" attribute, and then creating an HTMLGenericElement from this new string. You would then add this HTMLGenericElement to your cell instead of the textBox element.
    Hope that helps!

  • Search Text Box on Output

    Hello all,
    Just wondering if anyone has experienced this one before, or
    has any suggestions on how to remedy it. One of my RoboHelp
    projects is autopopulating the following in the "Search" text-box
    on the end-users systems after the project is compiled and
    published:
    %%% WH_LNG_SearchPrompt %%%
    This auto text does not appear to have any effect on the
    actual functionality of the search function, however I have had a
    few users ask as to why it is there, any suggestions. I could not
    locate this text string within the project nor in any of the
    projects output files on my local drive?
    Thanks as usual,
    Dan

    Hello Dan,
    Did you able to find the fix for this issue pls? If so, Can you please provide the steps to fix this issue pls?

  • I'm having some trouble spacing groups of text boxes. Does anyone have an automated way to evenly distribute space between groups of two text boxes?

    There isn't much more to this question. My format works like this:
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    H2 Headline
    H3 Explanation
    I need to distribute these text boxes evenly down my page. It's a bit of a pain to do so manually. Since there are other objects on the page, the spacing guidelines get thrown out of whack. My most secure way is to create a box, line it up with the bottom of the first group and the top of the next. Then repeat all the way down the page.
    I thought about using just one text box but rejected it. I need to have content pulled from other portions of the site. That wouldn't be possible with only one text box. Plus, it's much easier to format the text box than individual text.
    If anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks.

    mitchging If I am understanding what you require, this might be what you're after.Assuming you want to have all the boxes equally spaced, you can use the Align panel. In the screen grab the four boxes are sets of two grouped text boxes, similar to your description. Select the first group object, then select the remaining three. Open the Align panel. First set the Align To method to Key Object. Now set the distribution spacing to the required value. When you click the Vertical Distribute Space button, they will all be spaced equally. You can then fine-tune it by changing the value and hitting the button again whilst they are still selected.
    I hope this helps.

  • Using cue points to change a text box

    Ok I asked a simlar question before but I am still having trouble getting it to work.
    I have a video with 11 Cue points and at each cuepint I want the Typebox to change it text at each cue point.
    When the video is playing I want a the textbox to change the text when cue point 1 is reached. This is the code I am using. But every always goes straight to the whatever the last functions text and skips all the other before it. Its bassically this code repeated with difffernt function name and string.
    import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
    flvplayer.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,section2Cue);
    function section2Cue(event:MetadataEvent):void{
        for(var String = "section2" in event.info){
            typebox.text = "Hello";                        }
    So basically I want to tell flash, when CuePoint1 is reached text = "hello world" and when CuePoint2 is reached I want the text ="Hello Again". I don't know what I am doing wrong or what is the best way to tell flash how to do this

    Ok, I tryed that code Basically I want to call upon each cue point individually and have an event for each one. So how i tell it to display this only when Cuepoint1 is reach and display that only when Cuepoint2 is reached.  What data would help ?
    Most of my code is just buttons to reach each cuepoint within the video. I got that to work fine.
    I'll supply it anyways

    As for data? This is all I know about my CuePoints
    Would the best way to acheive changing type is to change the way my movie clips are set up? Instead of telling it within the actionscript maybe telling it to go to next frame within a movieclip with the content? I don't know exactly how to word what I am trying to acheive but I'm trying!

  • Using a Substitution Variable in a text box when the member isn't used in a grid

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a footer in my report to display a substitution variable for the "Period" dimension. The Period dimension is not used in any of the rows or columns in my grid in my report in FR studio. It is left as a POV. I am trying to reference the substitution variable for CurrentMonth, which is independant of what the user selects for the Peiod POV.
    For example, the user runs the report and selects YearTotal for the Period dimension. I want to bring back the substitution variable of &CurrentMonth for Period even though it is not selected in the Grid for the report. Is there a way to do that?
    The workaround I am using is adding a second Grid and selecting the Substitution variable in the row and referencing the function from the second grid, which is hidden. This is bulky, and I'm hoping for a cleaner solution. The function I'm using from Grid 2 is below:
    <<MemberAlias("Grid2", 1, "Period")>>
    If I referenced Grid1 for Period, the function would display the user's POV selection, which is not what I want.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!!
    Tiffany

    Tiffany,
    I do the following which I think may fit you need:
    Add the "Period" dimension to the Columns section.
    Make the "Period" dimension the top most member of your column selections.
    Hide that row.
    Set the left most column to "Current Poinf of View for Period"
    Select "Same As Col A" (for example) for the remaining report columns.
    Add a column to the far right and use the &CurrentMonth substitution variable for the "Period" dimension. (The other dimensions in that column should be set, if possible, to retrieve as little data as possible.)
    Hide the new column.
    Change the function in the footer to <<MemberAlias(Grid1, A, "Period")>>
    This should allow your user to select their desired period without impacting the hidden column value of &CurrentMonth which will be displayed in your footer.

  • Use of text Boxes to programmatically update a PDF form

    Hello all;
    I am a very experienced programmer but I do not have much experience with
    PDFs , Acrobat, etc.
    I have come up with what I believe is my best solution based on what
    I have learned about PDFs and Acrobat.
    I am trying to do what seems , to me, like a very simple thing.
    Basic Programming Logic ....
    Develop a C# program that runs on a local client.
    Reads in an existing PDF file - which has been authored using Acrobat 9.0 Professional to have Text boxes that have meaningful names ... ie - recognizable names.
    Read some huge data file in EDI - or XML format - from some source or another.
    Update the "template" PDF file using this information by locating the appropriate text boxes named in the PDF file itself and print out as many pages of the PDF form as needed with the electronically received data.
    Basic Algorithm Logic
    I create a linked list in memory of all the internal segments of the PDF - carefully preserving all the necessary information and using the recognizable names of the text boxes - I re-write only the information that will appear in the text box and create a newly created and updated version of the PDF file and print it out. Repeating this for as many times as needed.
    This is my expected approach .
    Is there any reason why this should not be done or used ?
    Thank You , in advance, for your assistance.

    I see - <br />Isn't there an exisitng plug-in or other facility within the current Acrobat reader to read XML data ? <br /><br />I just tried saving off saving off an exsting PDF file as xml<br />using Acrobat 9.0 professional using <file><Save As Xml> and it worked - the output was realistically XML data - with a schema , etc. and recognizable heirarchical relationships, etc. <br />but it was not readable ....  <br />Isn't there an existing Adobe facility which allows it to read in the xml format that it creates ?<br /> <br />This is quite close to what I am trying to implement.<br />I'll bet that the developers have this little item at their disposal and the marketing department isnt even aware of the market potential - <br />If not , then I would like to suggest a new, inexpensive (add-on , plug-in, etc)  enhancement to the Acrobat reader -  <br />A utility that will read in the XML data format that Acrobat Professional generates ... <br /><br />I am being quite serious - there is a great need for this and it would serve the needs of your already existing clientelle - quite nicely .   (namely --- me) :)<br />I hope that you can either - pass this along to the marketing groups -- (I volunteer to Beta the software) <br />or pass me along to the required Third Part you have alreeady mentioned ... (I am hoping for Beta status ) <br />Thanks for the help <br /><br />Cheers

  • Grouping text boxes

    Hi
    Is it possible to group text boxes in pages for iPad?

    Yes, it is possible to group text boxes.
    When you first create a text box, it is set to move with the text on the page. In this mode, you can't group the text boxes.
    Select the first box and while holding it, tap the next text box to select them both. Then tap the Style Menu (brush)> Arrange > Wrap > Move With Text > OFF
    Now tap one of the two boxes again and the option to Group should appear. Tap Group and the boxes are now grouped and can even be set to move with text again at this point, if you desire, or not, if that is your choice.
    This is explained more in the Pages Help (under the Tools Menu (wrench)) under "Select, group, layer, and copy objects"
    Good Luck.

  • Text box tool remains "on" after use

    Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (antique)
    QUESTION: How to resolve failure of text-box tool to inactivate after use.  Instead, creates numerous undesired text boxes.
    I am using Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on a Mac with OS 10.6.8 (ancient).  Under the Comment tab, the second set of tools has eleven "Drawing Markups." Typically, when a user has completed the use of one of the markup tools, the tool is no longer highlighted.  In the recent past, the "Text Box" tool remains highlighted after creating a text box with keyed in text.  The next click anywhere on the document creates ANOTHER undesired text box.  Sometimes, when clicking within an existing text box to supplement/edit the text, two or more NEW text boxes are created within the original (i.e., because of a click at the location of desired text editing). Simply as a test, I examined the behavior of each of the eleven markup tools, and found that all but the pencil tool "inactivate" (un-highlight) after the drawing (e.g. a circle/oval or square/rectangle or arrow) is complete.  QUESTION:  Has anyone else observed that one or more "Drawing Markup" icons remain in the "active" status AFTER the mark-up drawing has been completed? If YES, did you find a fix for the annoying problem?

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

    I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

    This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
    I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

  • How to change a value of input text box into uppercase?

    Hi all,

    hi user,
    before asking any question.
    right place to search anything is google (the ocean).
    so the way. chris showed.
    if i understood correctly means,
    if you want change any input text into uppercase means :
    use some skinning : -
    <af:inputtext>
    contentStyle = "text-transform:uppercase;"
    </af:inputtext>
    Or
    else
    are you looking for

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend
    (Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.

  • How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

    I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

    Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
    If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
    Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
    When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

  • Resizing text boxes in Pages 5.2

    Looking for some pretty simple help here:
    At this point I merely want to resize a text box and the edges of the box refuses to be active for me to pull it to change the shape!    Why is this so hard now?
    (Below is my mini gripe session about Page 5.2)
    I'm using Pages 5.2 and the text boxes are suddenly very difficult to manage and it is very frustrating.  When working with the boxes they are covered with too much graphics with the top and side bars, and when using multi boxes on one pages the control graphics make a big visual tangle.  Adding rows, columns, deleting the same, even moving a box on the page is a struggle now because you have to find the little cross icon that appears on only one little place in the corner when before you could just drag the box from anywhere within the box!  Very unpleasant changes......

    Okay:  I see part of the problem:  I'm confusing tables with text boxes.  I'd rather work with text boxes.  Is there a way for a text box to have a solid, visible outline?  That would make it much easier!
