Can't search contents of files only file names.

I am really stuck guys. It's been aggrevating me for days. I tried to download 3rd party programs for searching in files and it still doesn't work. I checked the forums here and people only have trouble searching for kinds of files. Even when I use search strings like "contents" or "description" it still will only look for file names not contents.
It's frustrating because I am typing up my own personal book and I am in the process of fixing all the mistakes which requires searching by contents in my folder where my files are stored!
Thanks in advance!

I've tried various file types.
I tried adding my HD to the list and literally waited 1 minuted but to no avail.
The next step is probably reinstalling Snow Leopard, right?
By the way, I mostly use Finder for searching, so how would I enable the indexing there? Or is it only spotlight that has this indexing thing?

How can I get iPhoto to display ONLY file numbers of pictures and not document titles when displayed as thumbnails?

I am a pro photographer and I've never used iPhoto. I use a combination of Adobe's Bridge, Lightroom & Photoshop programmes. I've sent a disk of images to a client and they cannot see the file numbers of the images. Their version of iPhoto only displays the document title that I have embedded in the metadata when importing the images into Bridge.
When I ran a test and imported the same images into my version of iPhoto(7.1.5, since you ask) some of the thumbnails displayed the file number while others displayed the document title. Why does this happen? Can I make it stop? How do I make iPhoto display just the file number in thumbnail mode and not the document title?
When I view the images in Bridge, all I see is the file number but I can't convince the client to use the programme even though they have it. Any help/guidance will be very gratefuly received.
Many thanks,
Adam.

In every version prior to iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File...
In iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original...

Can't print content in E-mail file links/templates

Links to files/templates rec'd via Hotmail/Outlook appear fine in Print Preview but the files when printed do not print the data specific to myself eg. Groupon voucher does not show my details, similar for holiday confirmation and flight information. I have an iMAC running OS X version 10.5.8 using Safari 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) interfacing via USB to EPSON STYLUS SX218. When my Hotmail 'moved' to Outlook.com everything printed OK until a few weeks ago - when logging into Hotmail a message from Outlook.com appears requesting I upgrade my web browser, also stating if I don't upgrade 'continue to your inbox. However, Skype calling, chatting in Messenger and instant actions might not work properly'. I have checked, via Software Update on iMAC, for new update software but this shows I am up to date. I know Apple applies software updates automatically, but if so why does my machine display the above version numbers which I believe updates exist for. I suspect my printing problem is software version related but don't know where to start - can anyone please advise?

Can I search for a LIST of version names?

I often have clients resent me with a list of photos they want. Sometimes this is over 100 photos from a couple thousand. Currently I just cut and paste one by one the name of the image into the search box and then mark that image as a select.
Is there ANY way (fingers crossed) to expedite this? I WISH I could past a list of file names into the search box and get the list in return. Can anyone offer better advice for how to make this process more efficient?

Say I have a project of 300 images and want to find say 10 images.
While I can do this visually one at a time and add them to an album, I will be doing this fairly regularly.
I'd like to give it a comma separated list of names and then click to create an album.
I don't think this is possible at this time..

Can you search based on how long Opportunity name is?

I want to get all Opportunities where name is longer than 40 characters. Below is my code in soapUI but it does not seem to work. Is this possible?
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:opp="urn:crmondemand/ws/ecbs/opportunity/" xmlns:quer="urn:/crmondemand/xml/Opportunity/Query">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<opp:OpportunityQueryPage_Input>
<quer:ListOfOpportunity>
<quer:Opportunity searchspec="Len(FieldValue([<OpportunityName>]))>40">
<quer:OpportunityName/>
</quer:Opportunity>
</quer:ListOfOpportunity>
</opp:OpportunityQueryPage_Input>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

In Address Book create a group of the contacts you want to search and export it as a vCard, or just export all of them as a vCard. This will create a vCard file in your Documents folder. A vCard file is formatted in a structured way, but is text readable.
Then use FilemarkMaker to convert the vCard file into a Bookmark in Safari. That way you will be able to access it in Safari on the iPhone as a bookmark any time you want.
Unfortunately Safari on the iPhone doesn't include a find in page feature. But fortunately you can add all kinds of functionality to Safari using Bookmarklets, including a Find in Page bookmarklet available at www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-iphone/.

Comparing contents of two text files

I know that I can copy all contents of the two files into two strings, and then do str1.equals(str2). Any better way to do it?

What kind of comparison do you want to do?
- Exact - the files must have the same size, and have the same bytes, like "fc /b" in Windows
The exact comparison is very easy to do: open the files as FileInputStreams and read both using byte buffers. Compare the byte buffers.
If you can't open both files at the same time (for instance, one of the files is in a diskette and the other file is in another diskette, and you have only one diskette drive) you could try checking the digest of the files (java.security.MessageDigest). If the digest values match, probably the files are equal. If the digest values don't match, certainly the files are different.
- Textual - you want to find differences between the files, and pinpoint them, like the "diff" command in Unix, or the "fc" command in Windows.
Textual comparison is not easy to do (you'll need to keep lists of matching lines, and figure out if some sequence of lines was moved, changed etc.); but you can find the source code for it in several places.

Reading contents of uploaded excel file in web dynpro java

Hi All.
I am aware how to provide facility to upload files in web dynpro java. But my requirement is that on uploading a particular file (for eg. an excel file having 10 columns), I need to read the contents of that file and store it in a table in R/3.Can anyone suggest a way how I can read the contents of the uploaded file?
Thanks and Regards,
Saurabh.

Hi.
I am having the following requirement : I have a FileUpload UI element where user clicks Browse button, selects a file from the local system and presses a Upload button. Upon pressing Upload, the name of the selected file and the contents of the file should be shown.
In the View context, I have two value attributes: FileName of type String and FileResource of type binary.
This is the code that I have in the Upload button action handler :
public void onActionUpload(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionUpload(ServerEvent)
    IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(
             IPrivateReadExcelView.IContextElement.FILE_RESOURCE);
    IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)attributeInfo.
             getModifiableSimpleType();
    IPrivateReadExcelView.IContextElement element = wdContext.createContextElement();
    String fname = binaryType.getFileName();
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File selected - "+fname); //Statement 1
     try {
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Successful");    // Statement 2
          InputStream in = new FileInputStream(fname);
          HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(in);
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Successful");    //Statement 3
          int sheetsNo = wb.getNumberOfSheets();
          for (int i=0;i<sheetsNo;i++) {
               HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(i);
               Iterator rowsNo = sheet.rowIterator();
               while(rowsNo.hasNext()) {
                    HSSFRow rows = (HSSFRow)rowsNo.next();
                    Iterator colsNo = rows.cellIterator();
                    while(colsNo.hasNext()) {
                         HSSFCell cell = (HSSFCell)colsNo.next();
                         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File uploaded" +
                              "successfully");
                         if(cell.getCellType()==1) {
                              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("00000"+
                                   cell.getStringCellValue());
                         else if(cell.getCellType()==0) {
                              String str=""+cell.getNumericCellValue();
                              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("11111"+str);
     catch(Exception e) { wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
    //@@end
On pressing Upload button, name of selected file is being shown(Statement 1). I am also getting Statement 2 in the output. However I am not getting Statement 3 onwards.
Where am I going wrong? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Efficient searching in a large XML file for specific elements

Hi
How can I search in a large XML file for a specific element efficiently (fast and memory savvy?) I have a large (approximately 32MB with about 140,000 main elements) XML file and I have to search through it for specific elements. What stable and production-ready open source tools are available for such tasks? I think PDOM is a solution but I can't find any well-known and stable implementations on the web.
Thanks in advance,
Behrang Saeedzadeh.

The problem with DOM parsers is that the whole document needs to be parsed!
So with large documents this uses up a lot of memory.
I suggest you look at sometthing like a pull parser (Piccolo or MPX1) which is a fast parser that is program driven and not event driven like SAX. This has the advantage of not needing to remember your state between events.
I have used Piccolo to extract events from large xml based log files.

Cannot apply keywords/metadata to old pics - says "read only" files

Hi, I'm new to Apple World. Got a new Intel iMac, latest version Leopard, Photoshop Elements 6 that came with Bridge. No problem working with new photos. But it will not let me apply new keywords or metadata to old pictures imported from disk because it says they are "read only." These old photos were copied to my Mac hard drive from DVDs that were incremental backups from my Photoshop Elements 4.0 catalog on my old Windows XP PC. They were all copied into folders that I named to correspond with the backup disks. Some of the keywords ("tags" on PC program) imported, but many didn't. So I'm going through the arduous task of manually inputting the data again. Tried it with a template first -- did let me add keywords. Then bringing up each picture individually it gives me the "can't apply metadata to read only files" message. I have hundreds of old photos in over 100 different categories (previously topical tags) to go through here. What is the solution? Please help! Thanks. Judy

Judy
can you be more specific about the 'Old Files'. Are they jpeg or tiff or something else. Do they have the proper extension jpeg: .jpg tiff: .tif etc..
And I don't know what copy from Elements catalog means, do you have the actual original files copied or just previews or other files that were set there by elements in the catalog?
Have you already checked if the files are not locked itself? select one in the finder, choose info and see if it is locked by itself ( there can also be a lock symbol in the bridge thumbnail that can be changed using Bridge menu.
Last, not many visitors of this forum use Elements, have you already tried this question in the Elements forum itself??

Search string in any type file of a specified folder(DW能查找任意类型文件中的源代码吗)

If search a string in a unfrequent type file,we can add this type in DW's MMDocumentTypes.xml.
But if a project has many many different unfrequent type files,I hope DW can support search string in any type file of a specified folder.
Can DW help me? I really love DW very very much.

hello shweta,
Here is a batch script that will do this for you:
batch file begin ********************************************
@ ECHO OFF
:READFILE
SET | FIND "SEARCH_STRING" source.txt > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO READFILE
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO END
sleep 5
GOTO READFILE
:END
batch file end ***********************************************
here, SEARCH_STRING is the string that will be searched in file source.txt. This SEARCH_STRING denotes the end of file (the file is ready to be transferred).
This batch file should be called from PI "Run OS command before processing of the message".
I tried this on my system and it worked for me.
Just check at your end. I hope this will solve your query.
Regards, Gaurav.

No need to delete contents of alertlog.

Can a search engine read the contents of a Library file embedded in a page?

Can a search engine read the contents of a Library file
embedded in a page? Or would SSI be the way to go. I'm creating a
large library of text-based information and links, and I want to
have much of it modular so I can add a link and all the many pages
on my site updates to reflect the change. A big concern is that
when a search engine visits my site, can it read the content
embedded in the library item, or is SSI a better method to help the
search engine read my content?
Thanks

Yes, search engines can read Dreamweaver library items. The
library only exists on your own hard drive. Once you add the
library item to your pages it's in there as regular HTML.
If you have more than 20 pages on your site, they say SSI is
better, because when you update you only update the SSI. If you
stick with library items each page has to be uploaded every time
the library is updated.

Can I do a find and replace on .cfm files only and not search .html or .txt?

Hi. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. I would like to do a find and replace through my site with Dreamweaver but I only want it to search through .cfm files. Currently it is searching through .html and .txt files along with .cfm. Is there a way to do a find and replace on just .cfm files?
- Tom

You can't do it on just one type of file. However, you can do find and replace in selected files. Ctrl-click to select the targeted files in the Files panel, and then choose Selected Files in Site from the Find In drop-down.

Can't search contents of files only file names.
