Does Unix support wildcard searches like DOS?

I need to make my program (which takes arguments) to be able to support a wildcard char. when I first started testing this out, i found that DOS automatically takes care of the wildcard for me:
ie: java myProgram c:/Alpha/*.txt
there will be all the text files in that folder as my args array. Does Unix do this for me as well, or will I need to write code to handle this?

It is well recognized that the common UNIX command-line shells eclipse the Windows command prompt in power. Regardless, we must use the Windows command line to invoke the jre for our Windows users. A good developer cheerfully overcomes OS and hardware constraints.
Wildcards are useful as startup arguments to classes and for specifying JAR files on the classpath (-cp) option. My experiments and this forum seem to conclude that Java on Windows will glob its command-line arguments transparently to the developer. This is a helpful feature.
Java on Solaris presumably do this too (after all, why not). Of course, it would not need to: the UNIX shells by default do this on every command. The Windows Console does not do this, rather, the executables themselves must glob.
Can someone reference Sun documentation that confirms this? I don't know what to search for in order to find this. Without documentation, it is one of those undocumented features that might not be supported in future releases.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Does ISE support wildcard certificates?

    Hello guys,
    My customer doesnt have a CA, but instead has wildcard certificates.
    I will implement ISE in 3 different locations (each location independent and with all ise services). Havent look in dept about wildcard certs, but does ISE support this type of certificates? The certs i need is only for corporate users not to be shown with the ssl cert error when accesing ise portals.
    If wild certificates supported, then will every independent site need to create a separate CSR for each one of them?
    Thanks!
    Emilio

    Support for Universal Certificates:
    Cisco ISE, Release 1.2 supports the use of wildcard server certificates for HTTPS (web-based services)
    and EAP protocols that use SSL/TLS tunneling. With the use of universal certificates, you no longer have
    to generate a unique certificate for each Cisco ISE node. Also, you no longer have to populate the SAN
    field with multiple FQDN values to prevent certificate warnings. Using an asterisk (*) in the SAN field
    allows you to share a single certificate across multiple nodes in a deployment and helps prevent
    certificate-name mismatch warnings.
    For more information, refer to the Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide, Release 1.2. Kindly find the attached PDF for your clarification ISE 1.2 supports wildcard certificates. Even I had highlighted the same on page 14.

  • Does Automator Support Wildcards?

    I have a workflow already in Automator and all I want to do is rename a group of PDFs but ask it to ignore 3 characters, ie. ipagexxx090929 - the 3 x's being where I want the numbers ignored. I though Automator would support 'wildcards' but am having no luck.
    Any help appreciated.

    Not sure if this would come under wildcards, but a *Run AppleScript* action can be used to swap parts of text around. Are there multiple divider characters, or are you just looking for the first one?
    You should post your specific questions to a new topic so that it doesn't get lost in an existing one - I almost missed your question here since this topic is answered. Tiger's Automator is also a bit different than the Leopard ones, if your profile is correct.

  • Does FlasCC support compile SIMD like sse2, sse3, sse4  for better performance?

    as title, does the FlasCC's gcc compiler support SIMD instructions?

    Crossbridge code is compiled to AS3 not machine code, so any processor specific instruction set won't be used. Exactly like emscripten compile to javascript (asm.js).
    Behind the scene the AS3 VM might use them, but you don't have control over that.

  • Acrobat support wildcard search?

    I am a proofreader through the acrobat 7 professional and I always search some author name or other special characters (esp letter with a accent) in pdf file, can we use the wildcard in acrobat search? you know it's difficult to input the accent on the letter when searching, or there are any better means to that?
    Another case, I want to make sure whether the author name (e.g. "Jackson R. Peter") in contributor list is to match the name in article opener, so I copy the name and open the search box to search, it can speed up the proofread and increase the quality. But sometimes the name in contributor list is abbreviated but which is full-spelled in article opener, how to match each other, vice versa.

    It depends on:
    a) text in the source document
    b) how the source application prints/emits out it's content
    c) the application used to generate PDF from the source application
    Depending on how these interplay, spaces will or will not appear when you copy content. What you get here is " - ". Search typically ignores white spaces, so "David Morales-Morales" should give same results as "David Morales - Morales"

  • Does MAC support Virtual Desktop like Linux?

    I was a Windows user, it's very easy to address a Window in XP on the taslbar. With MAC, I have difficulty. F9 is cool, but still not as easy as hover mouse over taksbar.
    I wonder if MAC will do Virtual Desktop thing like Linux, so at least I can send different windows to different desktop for easy use.

    There are a number of apps available on http://www.versiontracker.com that allow you to create and manage virtual desktops. I haven't used any, but a quick search brought up about 4 or 5.

  • Wildcard search support in XPath

    Hi all,
    I am using XPath in querying XML file. My application uses an XML file as a database. I am having a search portal in which user can give wildcard search like name = "M*" etc. As I am using internally XPath to read a particular NodeList from XML, I need to do a wild card search using XPath. When I saw the XPath document it only gives //* etc but not like //M*. So I want to know a way by which I can do this wild card search using XPath.
    To be more clear of my requirement consider the below xml:-
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <bookstore>
    <book>
    <title lang="eng">Harry Potter</title>
    <price>29.99</price>
    </book>
    <book>
    <title lang="eng">Learning XML</title>
    <price>39.95</price>
    </book>
    <book>
    <title lang="eng">Learning VSS</title>
    <price>39.95</price>
    </book>
    </bookstore>
    I want the XPath query to return all the books having title that starts with "Learning" string.
    Thx in advance
    MK.

    There are ways to do what you want, but they will require some effort to convert the user's wildcard specification into something that works with XPath.
    You can have a search like
    /book[starts-with( title, 'L')]
    should find the Lerning XML and Learning VSS books.

  • How to do wildcard search?

    Does anyone know I can do wildcard search like *.jpg or my**.jpg? And yes, don't tell me to use the Terminal and copy and paste path.

    Spotlight searches are pretty much wildcard searches, you just don't need the wildcards.
    However, if you want to do it, look at a Raw Query. This post shows some of its capabilities using the Terminal command mdfind, but you can use a Raw Query in the Finder and he talks about how to select that from the criteria menu.
    http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/07/25/advanced-spotlight-queries-in-the-mac-gui/
    With a Raw Query, you don't use the mdfind command, but the rest of the search is entered into the Find window.
    Also, see here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/carbon/conceptual/spotligh tquery/concepts/queryformat.html

  • Problem with: wildcard search in Endeca with Russian language, or adding custom stemming dictionary

    Hi endeca-gurus. I need your assist in typeahead functionality to implement it with endeca (also we should able to search within * from search input-field). So, per documentation, OLT doesn't support wild card search, but latin-1 does it. So,  I tried to switch to Latin-1, but it doesn’t work…maybe I performed some mistakes :
    1.created file stemming file named ru_word _ forms _collection.xml and added it to the MDEX..\conf\stemming\custom directory:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE WORD_FORMS_COLLECTION SYSTEM "word_forms_collection.dtd">
    <WORD_FORMS_COLLECTION>
      <WORD_FORMS>
        <WORD_FORM>ноу</WORD_FORM>
        <WORD_FORM>ноут</WORD_FORM>
        <WORD_FORM>ноутб</WORD_FORM>
        <WORD_FORM>ноутбу</WORD_FORM>

        <WORD_FORM>smart</WORD_FORM>
      </WORD_FORMS>
    </WORD_FORMS_COLLECTION>
    2. set USE _STATIC _WORDFORMS="TRUE" in <appname>.stemming.xml;
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE STEMMING SYSTEM "stemming.dtd">
    <STEMMING>
    <STEM_RU ENABLE="TRUE" USE_STATIC_WORDFORMS="TRUE"/>
    </STEMMING>
    3. run baseline_update script
    4. try to search with params in endeca_jspref:
    N=0&Ntk=All&Ntt=ноут*&Nty=1&D=ноут*&Ntx=mode+matchall&Dx=mode+matchall
    And search result is zero.. ((
    What the encoding should be for the edited files? any other suggestions for doing it?
    and, common question : willl endeca support wildcard search for russian in close future??

    Did you enable the dimension for wildcard search?  In dev studio, in the dimension pane there is a button called configure search, click it and check the wildcard search checkbox in the dialog.  I think you may have the stemming entry right but as OLT is fairly new I have not had a chance to test changing the default analyzer as yet. If my suggestion does not work or you have already applied the wildcard flag then I will dig a little deeper.
    best

  • Oracle BI Publisher - Passing multiple wildcard search to a bind variable

    Hi,
    Please help me in resolving the below mentioned issue:
    I have developed a report in oracle BI Publisher with a SQL query.
    While scheduling the report to run I used to pass mutilple parameters like CGAMSVC08,RLCSVC51
    If the pass the parameter with wildcard search like C% it works.
    When I pass two or more parameter values with wildcard search like C%,R% its not working.
    Could you please let me know how should I give the bind variable in the SQL query. Currently I'm paramater like the one shown below for passing multiple paramaters:
    Where (',' || :PRMRETRID || ',' like '%,'||RL.RETROFIT_ID|| ',%')
    Edited by: user1101445 on May 23, 2012 2:02 AM

    HI Tyler.
    Well, here's the latest.
    I found this little gem in the BIEE 10.1.3.3.3 Release Notes Documentation...
    This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, and 10.1.3.3.3.
    Reports that use the BI Publisher data template as the data model may fail with the
    following error: "Data not defined."
    This error will occur if you defined a parameter in your data template but you do not
    pass a value to it via the user interface. If you do not specify this parameter in the "Parameters" section of the report definition that you created using the BI Publisher Edit Report interface, then you will receive the error.
    To work around this issue, either define the parameter in the Edit Report interface or remove the parameter from the data template.
    That bit is now working.
    Having set this up and using your guide it works if my SOAP parameters declaration passes a single value like this...
    <parameterNameValues>
    <item>
    <name>P_INVOICE_ID</name>
    <multiValuesAllowed>true</multiValuesAllowed>
    <values>
    <item>16641</item>
    </values>
    </item>
    </parameterNameValues>
    But if I try and pass two or more like this...
    <parameterNameValues>
    <item>
    <name>P_INVOICE_ID</name>
    <multiValuesAllowed>true</multiValuesAllowed>
    <values>
    <item>16641,18421</item>
    </values>
    </item>
    </parameterNameValues>
    BIP states "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number"
    My SQL where clause is..
    <sqlStatement name="Q1">
    <![CDATA[select * from vw_invoice_summary
                   where invoice_summary_id IN (:P_INVOICE_ID)]]>
    </sqlStatement>
    And the BIP error records the parameter value as P_INVOICE_ID 16641,18421 (which are legit invoice IDs)
    In summary, works if I pass one invoice ID, fails if I pass two or more.
    Any ideas? Or do you reckon this is now a post for the BIP forum?
    Kind regards.
    Simon
