CD File Searching

This will sound like a duplicate to a question I asked yesterday and I apologize for that. I think I left out a small detail and because it's been almost 24 hours, perhaps it is an unreasonable request. I had asked if there was a way to search an archive of email that was burned to a CD. I left out that I want to search for certain words (keyword) within the files on the CD. I've tried Spotlight and Finder searches without success. I'm still getting used to Mac OS after working with Windows for 25+ years and find that I am sometimes using the Mac system like Windows which is cumbersome and I am sure Mac OS has an easier, less complicated way. So if there is a way to effect a search for keywords on a CD, I'd like to know how to do that and if it is not possible, I would also like to know. Thanks for any help; I've learned a lot from you in this community.

carol357,
Try putting in the CD, right (control) click on it, from the contextual menu click on "Folder Actions Setup".
From what pops up click Attach, the click Show folder.
In the search pane (upper right) type in a keyword (something you know is there) then click on the name of the disk and see if that helps find it. (I've not dealt w/CD's for a while, but maybe this will help) see screen shot.
I don't know if will help you or if this is in the "ballpark" of what your looking for, hope it helps, you can delete the folder from the folder actions after if you wish by highlighting it and clicking the minus button.

Open PDF's in new window in document library when using "Find a file" search

I need to be able to open PDF's in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search built into the document library "All documents" view. I currently have the following javascript on the page:
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("setTargetBlank()");
function setTargetBlank()
{ $("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target", "_blank");
This works great when going to the document library and navigating through the folders then clicking on a link.
The problem is when someone goes to the document library then uses the "Find a file" search and then they click on a link. The "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore my javascript to find the PDF links
and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I have read the following article but this does not seem to offer a solution that will work in this situation for SharePoint 2013 (Office 365): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/7ad3224c-3165-47ae-95bc-4f3928e2f9a8/opening-document-library-pdf-in-a-new-window-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointgeneral
I suppose the idea solution would be to somehow tap into the event that is fired when using "Find a file" search to run my javascript and update the links for the search results.
Can anyone offer any solutions to this issue?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open PDF files in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search.
As you said, the "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore JavaScript to find the PDF links and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I recommend to use JS link to achieve the goal. Create a JavaScript override file and upload the JavaScript file to the Master Page Gallery, and then set the JS Link property of the document library web part to point to the JavaScript file.
Here are some links about the JS link in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:

Bug in Multi-File Search and Replace in RH6?

I'm using the 6.0 trial, and one thing I want to be able to
do is to replace the variables I put in using JavaScript with the
new feature variables in 6.0. So, I went in to multi-file search
and replace, and searched for:
<script
language=JavaScript>document.write(varProduct)</script>
I copied this code directly from a topic, and pasted it into
the Search tool.
I don't even care whether I can successfully copy the code
from my new variable for use as the replacement text; I'd be happy
if the multi-file search would simply find all occurrences of my
original code so I don't miss any during conversion to 6.0.
It keeps coming up as not found, and this concerns me
greatly. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known bug? Does
anyone have a workaround?
Thanks!

Hi robowriter
I'm assuming you are using the wondrous little applet known
as Multi-File Find and Replace.
Unfortunately, this little beastie is like a cat. It
frequently has a fussy tummy and loves to hork up furballs. Well,
not exactly. Really what it does is fail to properly handle
anything with a line break. So you need a tool that does do this.
Fortunately, one exists! It is called FAR (Find And Replace). Oddly
enough, it was also written by a fellow Microsoft Help MVP named
Rob Chandler. (Rob lives in Australia)
You can download a trial version of FAR from the FAR page.

Server 2008r2 and windows 7 pro slow to no networkshare file searching and file access (green progress bar)

we are running a windows server 2008r2 sp1 domain controller and a 3com gigabit switch to which 7 windows 7 pro computers are connected. We are only using the windows server to distribute a few printers and as a network share (z drive).
we are storing all files (word documents only) centrally on the server (z share), and files are accessed and written to the z share.
Problem is that file access from the z share on the windows 7 client computers is at best buggy. we are able to browse the z-share, but as soon as we want to search the z-share for files (f.i. use file explorer with "content: memorandum") the green
progress bar shows and no search is performed. something like alphabetically sorting a directory on map/file name on the z-share also shows a green bar with no sorting. manually going to the files works.
One thing i noticed, sometimes not all files that one user created and stored on the server is visible and can be found by another user. I prefer to disable all offline file caching setting, because that feature is not used. no files should be made accessible
offline. i don't know where to change that on the server side.
I am reluctant to experiment on the server end (2008r2 sp1), so i tried a few suggested solutions on the client end (windows 7 client)
I tried disabling offline file caching
i tried properties (z share) ==> advanced and map optimizing and several options there
i tried disabling the smbv2 protocol and disabling the smbv1 protocol (using
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi command etc. posted by microsoft)
i tried disabling windows defender
i tried accessing the z share via ip and server name (the share is mapped via its servername, e.g. dennis-dc1\share). still the same
file searching on the clients c drive ('own harddrive') works much better, file searching on the server also works.
any suggestions or solutions that i can test on the client side, as mentioned i am reluctant to change something on the server side. if a solutions works, i prefer to change it on the server side.

Hi,
The issue could be due to windows indexing service taking long time in sorting and searching in mapped drives. Please try the steps belwo to disable windows indexing service or search service on the windows 7 client to resolve the issue.
You can click on Start and select Control Panel, click on
Programs and Features, go into the Turn Windows Features on or off section Scroll down the list and uncheck the box next to Indexing Service or Windows Search.

Mandy

File search problems in Leopard

I MUCH preferred the older (pre-leopard) finder file search application(NOT spotlight). I was able to type what I was looking for and manually select the drives and servers I wanted searched in the finder window. The results came in, broken down by kind (image, document, pdf, folder) in icon driven sub-categories. Spotlight and the clumsy new search application are a MAJOR setback for me. This is the first bad move I have had to call Apple on.

You can only select the whole computer, or ONE and only one specific location to search (this is a reduction in functionality from the implementation of Spotlight in Tiger). Thus if I wanted to search my Data drive only, not my startup or backup drive, I would navigate in the Finder to the Data drive, then hit Command-F, then click on "Data" rather than the default "This Mac" (which is always selected, which is ridiculous--when you bring up search with a Command-F you want to search in that place, if you wanted to search everywhere you would use the Spotlight menu bar function). The nearest you can come to grouping things is to put the results window into List view (Command-2 or select from List from the View option in the Finder window's toolbar), then click the Kind column. You might find my little essay on Leopard's Spotlight helpful:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html
You might also wish to tell Apple about how you feel:

The more complaints they receive, the more likely things will improve.

How to do complex file search for "word" unknown characters "word" .file extension?

How to do complex file search for "word" unknown characters "word" .file extension?

Using spotlight in Finder helps. Do you know how to search for files in Finder?

File Search Error

Every time I do a file search (on the working set or the workspace) for a string, I get some results,
but the search seems to terminate early when it hits certain files it thinks are "out of sync."
I have checked such files and they have not been modified. The error I get is a mostly empty dialog
that says "File Search (Error: problems encountered during text search.) If I click on the message
(in the "example" application in this case), I get:
Problems encountered during text search.
Resource is out of sync with the file system: /example/WEB-INF/database.xml
Resource is out of sync with the file system: /example/WEB-INF/.nitrox.hotdeploy
All I want is the assurance that when I do a search, the results will be complete. How do I
fix this? I am running the standalone preview-329 under Windows XP with no additional plugins
to the eclipse 3.0.0 that ships with the release.
Ben

Thanks Omar Alonso
I will go through it.

ITunes xml file search/ access {on user's computer} ~ step 1

Building a RichMediaAnnotaion (RMA) JukeBox.
This will be hosted in a PDF.
Tools: Flash CS5.5 & Acrobat X Pro
The Juke Box will read the User's iTunes Library.xml file
(once JavaScript affirms it is present, i.e. User uses iTunes).
Of many steps, I am researching a JavaScript to locate (gain access) to
said iTunes Library.xml files (both PC / MAC).
In this file-search objective the four (4) locations are known; iTunes Library.xml (see below).
Thanks in advance for your help...
This is Step 1... the current goal;
How to construct a full script to address all known locations (4).
1) enable search when PDF page is entered
2) search for the appropriate iTunes Library.xml file
3) if found pass path to "JukeBox" script (in development, future Step)
4) else... stop
iTunes Library.xml locations;
Mac OS X:     /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml
Windows XP     \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.xml
Windows Vista     \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.xml
Windows 7     \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.xml
That is the current task at hand......
Thanks for your feedback!
~ ~
As a reference, further researching Steps are noted below:
display Artist list
          drill down to said Artist songs
Display Album Artwork / when available, else JukeBox images.png(s)
Play music
Any an All insight is greatly appreciated.

JavaScript embedded in a PDF cannot read arbitrary files from a local hard drive, neither can a SWF.

File Search won't search root level

Our company rolled out an application that went to the root level of the HD. I was hoping to use File search on ARD 3.2.1 to find this .app, and delete it from a few users. However, file search doesn't want to show me any Apps in the root level. Is there a way around this?

I am having the same problem, the file search option won't locate apps or even files on the desktop... Any ideas?

Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching

Hello,
I'm using Oracle on Win 2000, I have lately found out that the option "Compress drive to save disk space"
is not supported in Oracle.
When I've opened the drive specifications on the properties dialog, I found also another option called "Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching".
My question are;
1. Should I turn it off?
2. Same question when the indexed directories does not include Oracle files?
3. Same question, when the indexing service is set to off?
Thanks,
Tal Olier ([email protected])

If this is a production machine, I'd definitely turn this off. Hopefully, no one is going to be searching for particular files on a production server-- they'll know where to go. You probably don't want any unnecessary background processes using up CPU or RAM either.
If this is a development machine, the developer may be searching for files with some frequency. If that's the case, it may be worth it to keep this service enabled.
I'm not aware of any Oracle issues when this service is running, but I'm paranoid enough not to trust it on a production box. If you're running on a dev box, you shouldn't have problems, particularly if you're not indexing Oracle files.

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help?

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help? It keeps telling me 'Audio file not found', and seems to be different tracks in the same project each time too.

I also have this problem using Garageband in a school network situation when students open their project on one station, save it to their network drive, and later open it at a different station. 90% of the time there will be no issue, but sometimes audio files are lost. (Garageband '11, iMacs)
That sounds like it might be a failure of the students to perform a Save As and check Archive Project when they do. This asks GB to pull all the files it needs into the associated .band document rather than point to them externally (and then risk not having them be there).

Can someone tell me if there's a problem with my recursive file search?

I've been trying to get a recursive file search working. I wanted to go through each directory and add every file to a database so I can use extremely fast, advanced file searches through my program. I wrote up this code
<CODE>
package myrecursive;
import java.io.*;
public class MyRecursive {
public static void main(String[] args) {
recursiveSearch("D:/");
private static void recursiveSearch(String x) {
String tempFile="";
File dir = new File(x);
File[] curDir = dir.listFiles();
for (int a=0;a<curDir.length;a++) {
if (curDir[a].isDirectory()==false) System.out.println(curDir[a]);
else {
tempFile=curDir[a].toString();
recursiveSearch(tempFile);
</CODE>
The code was simple but I didn't think I could write it like this without killing my resources or getting a buffer overload. I ran it and it worked. However, I am running a high end box with 512MB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machine. I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true? How would I avoid it? Should I keep it this way? Any recommendations?
NOTE: I ran the code through JBuilder. JBuilder has a console built into the IDE and will return a noise and the error code whenever it hits an error. Although my app kept shooting out files it found out I heard a noise a few times. Does this mean anything?

First the formatting tags should be "[ ]" not "< >".
I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true?Recursion is a valid programming technique and in fact makes many algorithms much easier to code.
so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machineIt may be a little slower but it will still work. Recursion only causes a problem with resources when you have many levels of recursion. On my system I have:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
In this case there is only 4 levels of recursion. This is not going to cause a problem. You would generally only have problems if your recusion routine is not working correctly and you get in an infinite loop which will lead to resource problems and an abend.
In your particular case you aren't even using many resources at all since all you are doing is printing the file name.
This [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=435487&start=3&range=1]post shows a recursive routine that list all files for a directory and displays them in a table. In this cause you might have a problem with resources depending on the number of files in the directory. But the resource problem is because of the memory to hold the filenames in the table, not because a recursive routine was used to get the filename.

ARD 3 doesn't find a file that exists in Report...File Search

I am trying to gather files with the Report...File Search tool. The files exist on the computers but ARD doesn't find them. I can search for another file in the same folder as the one I am actually looking for, and ARD finds it. If I use the Finder's search on the remote computer, the file is found.
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your help.

The file search cache must be up to date for this to work properly. Usually this cache is only updated once a day depending on your cache settings.
If the machines are Tiger machines, use the spotlight search instead.

About Flex Builder3 File Search.

1.In Flex Builder3 's menu -- Search , I only can see two
items: declarations and references.
But when I press Ctrl+Shift+F, then pop File Search window.
Forget menu ??
2.In File Search window, press Search button, then
perspective change to DataBase Development perspective.
Is this a bug?

Hi,
There is a menu entry for this dialog, under the Edit main
menu item. And it has the shortcut key combination that you
mentioned.
As for the second problem, my only guess is that you have
installed another plugin after Flex Builder and it associated the
search dialog with its own specific perspective. If you can provide
a list of installed plugins, and in which order they were installed
we will try and duplicate this issue. (tight now it doesn't happen
for me).
Thanks,
Cristian

File Search ARD 3.1

Running OSX 4.9 on all clients and admin.
From a computer list I am trying to do a File Search for Portfolio 8. I have one computer that I know has the software on it but when I do the search nothing comes up. I have 35 Stations that I did this search on and they all reported back the correct information except for one. Did the usual, repair permissions, diskwarrior still no luck. I even shorted the search just looking for Portfolio. I know that when searching that it probably uses the spotlight index. If I go to the computer and perform a search for Portfolio it finds it. When doing the search the qualifiers were:
Name Contains
Parent Path
Kind
I'm stumped as to why ARD admin is not showing it.
Thanks for any help, Wayne.

Did you try setting ARD to rebuild the data for the report?
