[CS3, VB] How to find text and store as a string

Dear all,
I'm stymied again with what seems a simple thing. But you hear that a lot.
I want to find a reference number in a document and then use that to create a filename later on.
I've got this far, adapting code from another topic:
myString = "Release No. ^9^9^9^9"
Set myFileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
myInDesign.FindTextPreferences = idNothingEnum.idNothing
myInDesign.FindTextPreferences.FindWhat = myString
set myFounded = myDocument.findText()
call myInDesign.select(myFounded.item(1))
I know I shouldn't have to select it as such, but anyway, I'm stuck converting the found text into a string. And then I want to just grab the four digits.
Also, could you provide the code to put that into a if/then statement in case it doesn't find anything?
Thanks
Nigel

Perhaps we need some clarification.
Can you post one -> Good Data
one -> Bad Data
And, the required output - i mean the way you want to display those bad data. And, also post your exact oracle version by this way ->
select * from v$version;Regards.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

If you moved them to your iPad then they will have been removed from your Mac.

How to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch

Hi
Can you please tell me how to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch?
Thanks
Regards,
RJ.

1. What is a latch?
Latches are low level serialization mechanisms used to protect shared
data structures in the SGA. The implementation of latches is operating
system dependent, particularly in regard to whether a process will wait
for a latch and for how long.
A latch is a type of a lock that can be very quickly acquired and freed.
Latches are typically used to prevent more than one process from
executing the same piece of code at a given time. Associated with each
latch is a cleanup procedure that will be called if a process dies while
holding the latch. Latches have an associated level that is used to
prevent deadlocks. Once a process acquires a latch at a certain level it
cannot subsequently acquire a latch at a level that is equal to or less
than that level (unless it acquires it nowait).
2. Latches vs Enqueues
Enqueues are another type of locking mechanism used in Oracle.
An enqueue is a more sophisticated mechanism which permits several concurrent
processes to have varying degree of sharing of "known" resources. Any object
which can be concurrently used, can be protected with enqueues. A good example
is of locks on tables. We allow varying levels of sharing on tables e.g.
two processes can lock a table in share mode or in share update mode etc.
One difference is that the enqueue is obtained using an OS specific
locking mechanism. An enqueue allows the user to store a value in the lock,
i.e the mode in which we are requesting it. The OS lock manager keeps track
of the resources locked. If a process cannot be granted the lock because it
is incompatible with the mode requested and the lock is requested with wait,
the OS puts the requesting process on a wait queue which is serviced in FIFO.
Another difference between latches and enqueues is that
in latches there is no ordered queue of waiters like in enqueues. Latch
waiters may either use timers to wakeup and retry or spin (only in
multiprocessors). Since all waiters are concurrently retrying (depending on
the scheduler), anyone might get the latch and conceivably the first one to
try might be the last one to get.
3. When do we need to obtain a latch?
A process acquires a latch when working with a structure in the SGA
(System Global Area). It continues to hold the latch for the period
of time it works with the structure. The latch is dropped when the
process is finished with the structure. Each latch protects a different
set of data, identified by the name of the latch.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like "test and set" for operating on latches.
Processes waiting to execute a part of code for which a latch has
already been obtained by some other process will wait until the
latch is released. Examples are redo allocation latches, copy
latches, archive control latch etc. The basic idea is to block concurrent
access to shared data structures. Since the instructions to
set and free latches are atomic, the OS guarantees that only one process gets
it. Since it is only one instruction, it is quite fast. Latches are held
for short periods of time and provide a mechanism for cleanup in case
a holder dies abnormally while holding it. This cleaning is done using
the services of PMON.
4. Latches request modes?
Latches request can be made in two modes: "willing-to-wait" or "no wait". Normally,
latches will be requested in "willing-to-wait" mode. A request in "willing-to-wait" mode
will loop, wait, and request again until the latch is obtained. In "no wait" mode the process
request the latch. If one is not available, instead of waiting, another one is requested. Only
when all fail does the server process have to wait.
Examples of "willing-to-wait" latches are: shared pool and library cache latches
A example of "no wait" latches is the redo copy latch.
5. What causes latch contention?
If a required latch is busy, the process requesting it spins, tries again
and if still not available, spins again. The loop is repeated up to a maximum
number of times determined by the initialization parameter SPINCOUNT.
If after this entire loop, the latch is still not available, the process must yield
the CPU and go to sleep. Initially is sleeps for one centisecond. This time is
doubled in every subsequent sleep.
This causes a slowdown to occur and results in additional CPU usage,
until a latch is available. The CPU usage is a consequence of the
"spinning" of the process. "Spinning" means that the process continues to
look for the availability of the latch after certain intervals of time,
during which it sleeps.
6. How to identify contention for internal latches?
Relevant data dictionary views to query
V$LATCH
V$LATCHHOLDER
V$LATCHNAME
Each row in the V$LATCH table contains statistics for a different type
of latch. The columns of the table reflect activity for different types
of latch requests. The distinction between these types of requests is
whether the requesting process continues to request a latch if it
is unavailable:
willing-to-wait If the latch requested with a willing-to-wait
request is not available, the requesting process
waits a short time and requests the latch again.
The process continues waiting and requesting until
the latch is available.
no wait If the latch requested with an immediate request is
not available, the requesting process does not
wait, but continues processing.
V$LATCHNAME key information:
GETS Number of successful willing-to-wait requests for
a latch.
MISSES Number of times an initial willing-to-wait request
was unsuccessful.
SLEEPS Number of times a process waited a requested a latch
after an initial wiling-to-wait request.
IMMEDIATE_GETS Number of successful immediate requests for each latch.
IMMEDIATE_MISSES Number of unsuccessful immediate requests for each latch.
Calculating latch hit ratio
To get the Hit ratio for latches apply the following formula:
"willing-to-wait" Hit Ratio=(GETS-MISSES)/GETS
"no wait" Hit Ratio=(IMMEDIATE_GETS-IMMEDIATE_MISSES)/IMMEDIATE_GETS
This number should be close to 1. If not, tune according to the latch name
7. Useful SQL scripts to get latch information
** Display System-wide latch statistics.
column name format A32 truncate heading "LATCH NAME"
column pid heading "HOLDER PID"
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+)
and a.latch# = c.latch#
order by a.latch#;
** Given a latch address, find out the latch name.
column name format a64 heading 'Name'
select a.name from v$latchname a, v$latch b
where b.addr = '&addr'
and b.latch#=a.latch#;
** Display latch statistics by latch name.
column name format a32 heading 'LATCH NAME'
column pid heading 'HOLDER PID'
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+) and a.latch# = c.latch#
and c.name like '&latch_name%' order by a.latch#;
8. List of all the latches
Oracle versions might differ in the latch# assigned to the existing latches.
The following query will help you to identify all latches and the number assigned.
column name format a40 heading 'LATCH NAME'
select latch#, name from v$latchname;

3. If more than one row is returned, then run the following script and only
refer to the row that contains the OPERATING_UNIT_NAME that equals the
operating unit name tied to the responsibility used when the Purchase Order was
discovered as being stuck in process.
     SELECT SUBSTR(WF_ITEM_TYPE,1,12) "WF_ITEM_TYPE",
     SUBSTR(WF_ITEM_KEY,1,15) "WF_ITEM_KEY",
     SUBSTR(NAME,1,35) "OPERATING_UNIT_NAME"
