Like in the Ping Status (section - 1), I'd like all the cell having text "Not Pinging" should be in RED color.
Also I am facing an issue in the (Section - 4). When the value of $Results is not null I am getting the desired output but when the value is null the text ""There were no Replication Errors"" is not getting displayed in
the HTML body. Instead it comes as "*32" (32 is the number of letters in the text).
Please help me in fixing this ....

How to tail log files from particular string

Hello,
We would like to tail several log files "live" in powershell for particular string. We have tried to use "get-content" command but without luck because everytime as a result we received only results from one file. I assume that it was
caused by "-wait" parameter. If there is any other way to tail multiple files ?
Our sample script below
dir d:\test\*.txt -include *.txt | Get-Content -Wait | select-string "windows" |ForEach-Object {Write-EventLog -LogName Application -Source "Application error" -EntryType information -EventId 999 -Message $_}
Any help will be appreciated.
Mac

Because we want to capture particular string from that files. Application writes some string time to time and when the string appears we want to catch it and send an eventy to application log, after it our Nagios system will raise alarm.
Mac
Alright, this is my answer, but I think you won't like it.
Run this PowerShell code in PowerShell ISE:
$file1='C:\Temp\TFile1.txt'
'' > $file1
$file2='C:\Temp\TFile2.txt'
'' > $file2
$special='windowswodniw'
$exit='exit'
$sb1={
gc $using:file1 -Wait | %{
if($_-eq$using:exit){
exit
}else{
sls $using:special -InputObject $_ -SimpleMatch
} | %{
Write-Host '(1) found special string: ' $_
$sb2={
gc $using:file2 -Wait | %{
if($_-eq$using:exit){
exit
}else{
sls $using:special -InputObject $_ -SimpleMatch
} | %{
Write-Host '(2) found special string: ' $_
sajb $sb1
sajb $sb2
In this code, $file1 and 2 are the files being waited for.
As I understood you, you care only for the special string, which is in the variable $special.
All other variables, will be discarded.
Also, whenever a string equals to $exit is written to the file, the start job corresponding to that file will be terminated, automatically! (simple, right?)
In the example above, I use only 2 files (being watched) but you can extend it, easily, to any number (as long as you understand the code).
If you are following my instructions, at this point you have PowerShell ISE running, with 2 background jobs,
waiting for data being inputed to $file1 and 2.
Now, it's time to send data to $file1 and 2.
Start PowerShell Console to send data to those files.
From its command line, execute these commands:
$file1 = 'C:\Temp\TFile1.txt'
$file2='C:\Temp\TFile2.txt'
$exit='exit'
Notice that $file1 and 2 are exactly the same as those defined in P
OWERSHELL ISE, and that I've defined the string that will terminate the background jobs.
Command these commands in PowerShell Console:
'more' >> $file1
'less' >> $file1
'more' >> $file2
'less' >> $file2
These commands will provoke no consequences, because these strings will be discarded (they do not contain the special string).
Now, command these commands in PowerShell Console:
'windowswodniw' >> $file1
'1 windowswodniw 2' >> $file1
'more windowswodniw less' >> $file1
'windowswodniw' >> $file2
'1 windowswodniw 2' >> $file2
'more windowswodniw less' >> $file2
All these will be caugth by the (my) code, because they contain the special
string.
Now, let's finish the background jobs with these commands:
$exit >> $file1
$exit >> $file2
The test I'm explaining, now is DONE, TERMINATED, FINISHED, COMPLETED, ...
Time to get back to PowerShell ISE.
You'll notice that it printed out this (right at the beginning):
Id Name PSJobTypeName State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 BackgroundJob Running True localhost ...
2 Job2 BackgroundJob Running True localhost ...
At PowerShell ISE's console, type this:
gjb
And you'll see the ouput like:
Id Name PSJobTypeName State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 BackgroundJob Completed True localhost ...
2 Job2 BackgroundJob Completed True localhost ...
( They are completed! )
Which means the background jobs are completed.
See the background jobs' outputs, commanding this:
gjb | rcjb
The output, will be something like this:
(1) found special string: windowswodniw
(1) found special string: 1 windowswodniw 2
(1) found special string: more windowswodniw less
(2) found special string: windowswodniw
(2) found special string: 1 windowswodniw 2
(2) found special string: more windowswodniw less
I hope you are able to understand all this (the rubbishell coders, surely, are not).
In my examples, the strings caught are written to host's console, but you can change it to do anything you want.
P.S.: I'm using PowerShell, but I'm pretty sure you can use older PowerShell ( version 3 ). Anything less, is not PowerShell anymore. We can call it RubbiShell.

How to set Multi Byte Character Set ( MBCS ) to Particular String In MFC VC++

I Use Unicode Character Set in my MFC Application ( VC++) .
now i get the output ठ桔湡⁫潹⁵潦⁲獵 (like this )character and i want to convert this character in english language (means MBCS),
But i need Unicode to My Applicatiion. when i change the Multi-Byte Character set It give Correct output in English but other Objects ( TreeCtrl Selection ) will perform wrongly . so i need to convert the particular String to MBCS
how can i do that ? In MFC

I assume your string read from your hardware device is an plains "C" string (ANSI string). This type of string has one byte per character. Unicode has two bytes per character.
From the situation you explained I'd convert the string returned by the hardware to an Unicode string using i.e. MultibyteTowideChar with CP_ACP. You may also use mbstowcs or some similar functions to convert your string to an Unicode string.

I have an iPhone5. I updated to iOS7. Now I cannot edit my messages. I have to delete the whole message string like in iPhone 1. What has gone wrong?

Thanks it resloved my question, but Apple has made it more complicated it was so much easier to just press the edit button and select messages to be deleted. Now its cumbersome to delete several messages. Apple should give us back the edit button.

Prevent Resource Accounts been Deleted from a Particular Resource

Hi Everybody,
We have a situation where we want to prevent resource accounts been deleted from a particular resource when the user is deleted from IAM. All other accounts to other resources can be deleted as normal.
We are currently using version 5. Has anyone got any ideas on how to do this?
I tried modifying the target list in the Delete Users workflow but had no success so far.
Thanking you in advanced.

In rev.6 we did that simply by disabling Delete action on the resource definition.

How to delete and edit particular line in a file and save it in same file ?

Hi,
I want to delete and edit text at particular line in a file.
But edit and delete should reflect in same file.
I have done googling for this but it results with using another file, that i dont want as i need to save changes in same file.
How can i do this?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: vj_victor on May 24, 2010 3:33 PM

I just want to make sure, this is the only way to do what i mentioned ? or it could be done another way !a) write the data to a new file
b) delete the old file
c) write the data to a newer file
d) delete the new file
e) rename the newer file to the old file name.

How to search for particular string in array?

I am struggling to figure out how to search array contents for a string and then delete the entry from the array if it is found.
The code for a program that allows the user to enter up to 20 inventory items (tools) is posted below; I apologize in advance for it as I am also not having much success grasping the concept of OOP and I am certain it is does not conform although it all compiles.
Anyway, if you can provide some assistance as to how to go about searching the array I would be most grateful. Many thanks in advance..

Ok, so you have an array of Strings. And if the string you are searching for is in the array, you need to remove it from the array.
Is that right?
Can you use an ArrayList<String> instead of a String[ ]?
To find it, you would just do:
for (String item : myArray){
   if (item.equals(searchString){
      // remove the element. Not trivial for arrays, very easy for ArrayList
}Heck, with an arraylist you might be able to do the following:
arrayList.remove(arrayList.indexOf(searchString));[edit]
the above assumes you are using 1.5
uses generics and for each loop
[edit2]
and kinda won't work it you have to use an array since you will need the array index to be able to remove it. See the previous post for that, then set the value in that array index to null.

Deletion of Characters in String

Hi I having a problem. Below shows
String s = "Hello";
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
if (s.charAt(i) != 'e' && s.charAt(i) != 'o') {
System.out.print(s.charAt(i));
If I want to let user to key in the string and the program will be able to delete the 'e' and the 'o'. How do I do that?

If I want to let user to key in the string Look at the Scanner class to see how you can
get user-input (through the console):
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scan
ner.html
and the program will be able to delete the 'e' andthe 'o'.
How do I do that?Look at String's replace(...) method:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Stri
ng.htmlPossible to type it out? Or complete the coding? Cos dont quite get it.
Thanks.
