[3.1] InfoView Search - Use of Wildcards in Search string

Hi,
Is it possible to use wildcards like % or ? or _ or ... in InfoView search?
Thanks for feedback!
Raf

what do you mean infoview search? are you searching for any document? or you have a report and you would like use wild card?
if it is first one, just type in the word in the search box and enter. it brings all objects with that name. no need to use wild cards.
if it is in the report, yes. in the where clause change the operator to matches pattern and in the operand type in the word and use the wild card.

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

    I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

    Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

  • Use of wildcards in searching

    Hi all
    I have an issue with a custom tool that has been developed, which is combined with poor data management on behalf of our Master Data team.
    When creating Info Records, they only use a plant code when the material is used in mutliple plants, otherwise they leave it blank (a practice I am looking to correct, it's just laziness)
    The problem I have is when trying to report on info records, I want to include both blank AND populated records.
    - Using * or ? only extracts records that have some kind of data
    - Leaving either the lower or upper limit blank either produces only blank results, only populated results, or no results at all
    What would be the syntax to search for all records, blank or not blank?
    Thanks, D.

    Dante,
    When creating Info Records, they only use a plant code when the material is used in multiple plants,
    There are legitimate business reasons to leave this field as blank.  This is why SAP supports this feature.  Your characterization of the department's motives as 'laziness' may be interpreted by someone else as 'lower cost ease of maintenance'.  I have worked under three types of business policies, all legitimate:1. The plant field must always be populated, 2. The plant field must never be populated, and, most common, 3. The plant field will be populated as necessary.  I will assume, then,  that you are speaking of your internal business policies and procedures, which are evidently that the plant field must always be populated.
    What would be the syntax to search for all records, blank or not blank?
    I believe you said that this was a custom tool.  We cannot know how the tool selects the records.  I suggest that you review your issue with the developer who created it.

  • Use of wildcard and case insensitive searches

    Used the "Create form from a table" option. Have a customized form for this table to query, insert, update, and delete rows. My question is how can I allow a user to 1) search using a wildcard (%) from this form and 2) how can I make the search case insensitive for my users.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Why not create a report to find the records and link to the form from the report.
    You can then set the where clause to be whatever you wish:
    where tablename.columnname like :parameter
    or even:
    where UPPER(tablename.columnname) like UPPER(:parameter)

  • Why does using Google in the search bar (and only Google) not let me open search results in the same tab?

    Hello,
    When I use Google in the search bar, I have to open the search results in a new tab. If I simply click on them to open in the current tab, I'm inevitably redirected right back to the main Google site. This has only started happening in the past month or two -- I'm considering switching to Chrome after 5 years with Firefox because of this. Please help! It's incredibly frustrating to consistently have to remind myself to open all search results in a new tab. It's quite a waste of time over the course of a day.
    Here are the basic steps:
    1) I do a search using Google in the search bar.
    2) As is supposed to happen, the search returns results in the current tab.
    3) When I click on a result link, I'm immediately sent back to www.google.com.
    4) If I hit back to try to return to the search results, I'm taken to the page that was loaded BEFORE I even did the search.
    5) If, and only if, I instead right-click or Mouse3 click on the search results and open them in a new tab, I can successfully go to the search result pages.
    --Thank you

  • Value Mapping Replication - XIVMService.execute() search using wildcards

    Hi, i'm replicating value mappings to IS' cache.
    Replication works fine. Using RWB i'm can list all the data in the Value Mapping Groups cache. I can also perform a loose search entering something like "12*" in the 'Value' field and the result contains all the mappings having 'Value' staring with "12".
    The problem arises when i try to do the same search with
    XIVMService.executeMapping
    because it just tries to do an exact search insluding the wildcard as the source value. Has anyone tried this? I need help urgently, otherwise i'm afraid i'll have to change my solution radically.
    Thanks in advance
    Nicolá

    >I can also perform a loose search entering something like "12*" in the 'Value' >field and the result contains all the mappings having 'Value' staring with "12".
    Are you doing this to manually search for the value in the RWB or is it in the Runtime.

    Where are you trying this search? What i mean to ask is in the runtime ? Are you using some UDF/ Java code to read the data from the value mapping table?
    If my answer/ question is completely off track , I would really like to know what you are trying here

  • How to use glob search with the wildcard in command find?

    How to use glob search with the wildcard in command find?
    I want to find any file its names begin with "readme" string using command find. Why the following command cannot work?
    $find /usr/share/doc -name readme*
    However, the following commands can work?
    $find /usr/share/doc -name readme\* or
    $find /usr/share/doc -name readme'*'
    I want to know: After using the “\” or ' ', why the wildcard do not become a character "*"?(still a metacharacter).
    Another question:
    I want to find any file its names begin with "readme*" string using the command find.What command should I use?

    I want to know: After using the “\” or ' ', why the
    wildcard do not become a character "*"?(still a
    metacharacter). The backslash is known as an escape character. It means 'use the character value of the next character, not the special meaning' It is used in a lot of places such as command line, global regular expression patterns, and editors such as vi.
    In a typical shell, the splat (*) expands to all file names before passing the file names to the current command. So a \* sequence tells the shell to pass a *, not a list of file names, to the command.
    Demo - OpenSuSE Linux 10.3
    - I have a bunch of files. Let's list those that end in grid. Create one called *grid, and list again
    pops@fuzzyVM:~/pops> ls 
    a  b  c  startgrid  stopgrid
    pops@fuzzyVM:~> ls *grid
    startgrid  stopgrid
    pops@fuzzyVM:~> ls \*grid
    ls: cannot access *grid: No such file or directory
    pops@fuzzyVM:~> touch '*grid'
    pops@fuzzyVM:~/pops> ls
    a  b  c  *grid  startgrid  stopgrid
    pops@fuzzyVM:~/pops> ls *grid
    *grid  startgrid  stopgrid
    pops@fuzzyVM:~/pops> ls \*grid
    *grid
    pops@fuzzyVM:~/pops>In the above, how would I remove the file *grid, and only that file?
    Another question:
    I want to find any file its names begin with
    "readme*" string using the command find.What command
    should I use?What were the results of the two versions you tried? And why?

  • Exchange Online Quarantine Search Using Wildcards

    Hey There,
    This page http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn567976%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx states at the bottom you can use wildcards to search quarantined messages in EOP but I can't get the commandlet to work. I know the brackets are wrong but even are rectifying
    that issue the code still doesn't work.
    Is it possible to  use wildcards with get-quarantinemessage?
    Hibs Ya Bass!

    Please read full text most carefully.
    Q. Are wildcards supported when searching for quarantined messages? Can I search for quarantined messages for a specific domain?
    A. Wildcards are not supported
    when specifying search criteria in the Exchange admin center. For example, when searching for a sender, you must specify the full email address.
    "Not" usually means "not". if this is not the case please notify.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Is this the sarcasm forum then?
    It also states that wildcards are not supported when using the Exchange Admin Center. I'm not using the admin center I'm trying to use the powershell code that Microsoft themselves have recommended directly below!
    Hibs Ya Bass!
    No.  The documentation clearly states wildcards re not supported.  Reqd the full text.
    Your issue appears to be a missing character.  Fix that and try again/
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    So you're saying that wildcards aren't supported then go on to tell me the there's a missing character in the code that clearly uses a wildcard. Which is it?
    Hibs Ya Bass!

  • Searching using Oracle Text instead of LIKE '%'

    Hello all,
    I hope you help me in this:
    I have a table looks like this
    create table subscribers (
    id numer(10),
    first_name varchar2(30),
    father_name varchar2(30),
    grandfather_name varchar2(30),
    last_name varchar2(30))
    The application is built using Oracle Forms. Many times, the end users are not so sure of the spelling of the name, therefore they use the "%" wildcard with name fields. This will be reflected to the queries the application will send them to the Oracle Server.
    We have the following queries
    1) select *
    from subscribers
    where last_name like '%family_name%';
    2) select *
    from subscribers
    where last_name like 'family_name%';
    3) select *
    from subscribers
    where last_name like '%family_name%' and first_name like '%first_name%';
    4) select *
    from subscribers
    where last_name like 'family_name%' and first_name like 'first_name%';
    As well as searching on the father_name and grandfather_name fields. But most of the search are on the first_name and the last_name.
    These queries are killing the server since we have millions of records. BTree indexes will not help here because of the LIKE and the "%"
    I am thinking to use Oracle Text here, but I am not sure whether I have to go for a CONTEXT index on each individual column, or I can use the MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE indexing.
    Any idea will be appreciated

    The ctxcat index and catsearch operator are generally intended for usage with one text column and one or more columns of structured data. You would have to pick just one of your columns as the text column and the others as structured columns. I would be more inclined to use the multi_column_datastore with a context index and contains operator, so that you can search all of your columns as text columns.

  • File search using * (global)

    I am trying to search files using the DOS global search (*) in labview, could some body show me how to do that

    Hi dweldai,
    In your block diagram, go to the Functions Palette and select File I/O, and Advanced File Functions.
    Select the List Directory vi.
    Us the "pattern" to filter your search. The pattern matching in this function is similar to the matching used in matching wildcards in Windows and UNIX filenames and is not like the regular expression matching performed by the Match Pattern function. If you specify characters other than the question mark character (?) or the asterisk character (*), the function displays only files or directories that contain those characters. You can use the question mark character (?) to match any single character. You can use the asterisk character (*) to match any sequence of one or more characters.
    If pattern is an empty
    string, the VI returns all files and directories.

  • Search&Replace with wildcard?

    I always use search and replace with Homesite but I wonder if
    there is a way of using a wildcard? I often want to replace text at
    the beginning and end of variable text. I mean, if I have this:
    <h3>First text</h3>
    <h3>Second text here</h3>
    What I'd like is, using the * as a wildcard, is to use
    something like this:
    Replace <h3>*</h3> with <h2>*</h2>
    Any ideas? Thanks

    you can use the extended search/replace with regular
    expressions to do this.
    So for example. Bring up the Extended Replace (Ctrl + Shift +
    R)
    And in the Find box, put:
    <h2>(.*)</h2>
    in the Replace with box, put:
    <h3>\1</h3>
    note: \1 is the first match returned by the regular
    expression

  • Help !!! - Search using english base alphabet for French diacritic/accent

    Hello -
    I am searching using wild card in Oracle 9i database, as follows -
    select * from test
    where Upper(name) like 'A%'.
    It returns all the names upper and lower beginning with 'A'.
    We do have french data and few of the names begin with Á,Ä and à.
    In order to fetch all of the rows based on the base letter ,ignoring diacritic in the above same query,
    I have tried couple of settings as follows before executing the query -
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT='FRENCH';
    Or
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=ANSI;
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=GENERIC_BASELETTER;
    It didnot work. After reading the documentation, I have tried the query, for equality (=) search with some test data and seems to be working...
    So my guess is these settings are only useful if you have same exact name(data) for french as well english. Wildcard search '%' 'like' cases donot work.
    It would be really great if someone knows work-around for the query I have mentioned -
    select * from test
    where Upper(name) like 'A%'.
    to do get all the rows based on generic base letter ignoring those accents/diacritic.
    Or is there any other way we can implement this.
    I need to implement the generic solution for all english alphabets search in our application.
    ANY HELP would be REALLY APPRECIATED....
    Thank you so much....
    Rama...

    Hi Rama,
    For all current versions of the Oracle database, NLS_COMP=ANSI affects the following SQL operators only:
    WHERE =,WHERE >,WHERE <, START WITH, IN/OUT, BETWEEN, CASE WHEN, HAVING, ORDER BY.
    All other operators, such as LIKE, perform comparisons in binary mode only. They do not honor the NLS_SORT value. I hope that explains why you are seeing the behaviour that you described.
    This will be enhanced in 10gR2, where all SQL functions and operators will be able to honor the NLS_SORT value.
    You may be able to use the workaround below, if all your LIKE operations place the '%' at the end.
    e.g.
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=GENERIC_BASELETTER;
    SELECT * FROM test
    WHERE NLSSORT (name,1,1) = NLSSORT('A');
    name
    Älex

  • SOA 11g Bundled EM - search instances with wildcard?

    Hello~
    My apologies if this isn't the right place for this post... it's on a bit of a grey line between SOA and EM.
    Anyway, in the EM that comes bundled with SOA Suite 11g, under:Farm > SOA > soa-infra > [partition name] > [composite name] > Instances (tab) the user can search the audit trail entries for instance details that are still in the database.
    My question is, if I am searching by Name (which is a field that can be set by calling setInstanceTitle() in a Mediator/BPEL object), is it possible to do that search with a wildcard?
    I've tried: myquery% and myquery* but neither give the expected results (all instances with a Name that starts with "myquery").
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    - Nathan

    Hi, Damien~
    Thanks for the feedback. I'll go ahead and mark your answer correct and the question as answered.
    ...though, if Oracle happens to be listening, it seems to me that the ability to search instances from EM using wildcards would be a great feature to add to SOA 11g.

  • Using a Wildcard in a parameter

    I have a report with a lastname parameter and a firstname parameter that will prompt user to enter last name and first name.
    The firstname field could have multiple characters such as "Mary Jane".  When I enter the firstname as such, CR could not find the record. It appears that the parameter does not take multiple characters as input.
    Can anyone share a sample on how to create a parameter for this scenario? Can we use a wildcard on the parameters that look something like this:
    Last Name Prompt: lastname
    First Name Prompt: firstname*
    Thanks in advance

    I found out that it's the way the data was entered into the database. Because there is more than 1 space between the 2 characters (ex: Mary   Jane), unless I  enter it exactly like that in the prompt, it won't be able to find the record.
    The challenge is I can not predict how the names look like in the database. Is there a way to use wildcard for a partial search such as Mary*  so that all instances of Mary will return?
    I was able to setup wildcard for the firstname field so that ALL records will return but this is not a viable solution as there could be too many rows.
