Finder SEARCH help... how do I find only a certain file extension?

I have a big back up of my fonts, with layers and layers of nested folders, and I want to select all .otf, and then all .ttf fonts... only I'm having trouble getting FIND to do that.
I tried just putting ".otf" in the search field, but no results.
So, leaving the search field BLANK and selecting the correct FOLDER:
I chose "font format" from the "other" menu, and tried ".otf" and "open type", but again, nothing.
I even chose "extension is" from the "other" menu, and typed in ".otf".
And, well, I'm out of ideas. This wouldn't take me forever to do it manually, but I just need to FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS!!
What am I doing wrong?

Well, I may be stupid. I forgot to say that this is an internal HD, but not my main HD, and I had it EXLUDED from Spotlight in sysprefs because it's 1T, and I didn't want it mucking up my day-to-day Spotlight searches.
To that end, I knew it wouldn't be searhed if I used Spotlight, but I assumed if I used COMMAND-F, and targeted the exact folder, it WOULD search it. Is that not right? I mean, COMMAND-F finds stuff on DVDs and Flash Drives and stuff. Because I'm not getting ANY results for this one folder...
Apologies if this is a wild goose chase.

  • Search help dialog when there is only one entry

    Hi experts,
    I am developing a Webdynpro app and I can't find the way of skiping the search help dialog when there is only one entry on the result, just like in SE37 when you put the function name with * and it automatically puts the only ocurrence in the field with no dialog for selection. Right now my application is working correctly but it alwas show the dialog even when there is only one entry on the result.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,,
    Use OVS to  achieve this., when u press start search select the values from table into internal table (lt_object_list)
    n = lines( lt_object_list ).  " this gives the number of records in internal table..
    if n = 1.
    set_attribute(  ) .. to the input field.
    else.
    co phase 3.
    call popup window to display objects
    endif.
    hope this helps u.,

  • Dictionary Search Help - how to trigger an event after F4 help

    Hi,
    I been searching the web lately to find a way to trigger an event after using the F4 input help.
    Here is an example of what I would like to do:
    - I have a WD form with a inputfield in it.
    - The input field is bound to datalement "LIFNR".
    - In my context I have specified the Input Help Mode to "Dictionary Search Help"
    - And the Dictionay Search Help is set to "KRED"
    A user will the click on F4 to start the Search help, then pick a LIFNR and the WD inputfield wil be filled.
    What I want is to trigger an event when this is happening.
    Does anyone have som tips or guides for me regarding this problem?
    Thanks in advance! =)

    Hi Mathias Hagen
    Actually there is no straight way of doing this , but still you can trigger a event in F4 search help ...  below is very informative blog to trigger the F4 search help by chris

  • Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

    Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

    Hello,
    this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
    Just to show what's my problem:
    Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
    The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
    That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
    I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
    All this can be done modification free by appends.
    The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
    This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
    But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
    The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
    But I want avoid this modification.
    So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

  • Finder can not  find and display certain files. Why? Any fix,please?

    I've discovered to my surprise that Finder can not  find and display certain files. Computer is Mac book OS X (10.6.8)
    No matter what Finder settings I use, there are files which it can not detect and display.
    Here are just some examples of files sitting in the HD but Finder can not display them:
    Located in  preference panes :
    fibre channel 1.7
    Located in :    /Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring
    BRESINKx86Monitoring
    FxLicenseManager
    Located in    /Library/StartupItems/FxLicenseManager
    EAP8021X
    Located in    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework
    The questions:
    What to make of this inability of Finder to ,well, find? (again - I tried all possible settings of Finder!)
    Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks for any competent suggestion!

    Well, guys,
    Interesting suggestions but the problem remains -Finder (aka Spotlight) is not capable to find certain files.Period.
    I consider it as a fault of the system because in comparison, a search facility of a plain Windows based machine is capable to dig out and display any file, no matter now deeply hidden...
    As far as the suggestion above by softwater  goes , well, I've used the additional foptions  extensively and nothing produced the result needed -that's why I created this discussion.
    If someone still believes that using Finder with all its options is good enough, here is a test for you to perform on your own Mac:
    -Open  /Library/StartupItems/ and have a look inside - most likely you have a bunch of items. Write down the names of one or two of them. For this test I've chosen
    FxLicenseManager  located in    /Library/StartupItems/. You can use any file you want grom this location...
    - Then go to  Finder and set it to display everything in Library of the HD. Remember - for this test you pretend you don't know any file name in this folders.
    If the Finder works properly it shall display  folders  of Library >Startup items with all stuff inside, including the FxLicenseManager file I used for this test.
    Finder displayed nothing. It is obvious that for Finder, certain locations are off limits. That's why I consider Finder as a faulty.
    Of course if someone can set the Finder's  options to do the above search and succeed, I'll be glad to try ...:-)
    At this point, what I gather from this discussion is that :
    1. Finder (Spotlight) feature is not to be trusted,despite number of fancy but rather useless options.
    2. If you need to really find everything usually not displayed by Finder you better get real  searching software.

  • Applying filters to F4 Search help - how so with many entries?

    Hello all,
    I have a problem that I have to filter a search help for employees. We use a DB view that unions infotypes 1, 2 and 105. Now I need to restrict potential employees to a given company code BUKRS.
    I now invoke search help in REQUEST ON-VALUE REQUEST within a DynPro screen and call function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST which I am passing the restricted internal table.
    Fine, that works - however, in the DynPro (which is actually used as an EWT within our portal), the entire internal table is sent to the frontent instead of, say, 250 or so.
    The search help dialog offers the possibility to manually restrict for first and last name - is it perhaps possible, that this search only applies on the server (ITAB) and just returns the results according to the user input?
    Otherwise, sending all potential employees to the frontend is consuming too much resources (time and traffic).
    In function group SDHI there is an "example" module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE which tries to explain how to use callbacks but from my point of view I understand very few (it misses the big picture).
    Do you know an alternative, e.g. using the other module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST and to apply a filter to BUKRS using a callback mechanism? There are module parameters indicating that possibility (passing some report?). Perhaps one of you has some sample code, because I am much more trained in BAPI and web stuff only...
    Any hints? Thank you in Advance!
    Regards,
    Timo

    Hi,
    if I can understand you, you tell me that you search information in the view and all found records (let´s say 300) are saved in the internal table, which in time you pass to function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for display. Now, you think it is too much to display 300 records because of time and traffic.

  • Search help - how to further restrict its values

    Hi,
    I have a question here regarding search helps and I hope you all could provide me with some useful pointers.
    There is a select-option of the type bkpf-blart (document type) in the selection screen. I have a problem with retrieving the data properly from the table bkpf for the search help values bkpf-blart so that it will only return 3 values, kr, re and zb values. How may I achieve this properly using a select statement and then using the function module f4if_int_table_value_request?
    (I am referring to a tutorial from the SAP technical website as a guide to use the function module f4if_int_table_value_request.)
    Appreciate any inputs here, as I am still learning the ropes in abap.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Help--How can I open only one java program at one time?

    How can I open only one java program(same program) in Windows at one time?

    In Java 1.5, you can use the JVM's own monitoring APIs to examine what other JVMs are running on the system, and what applications they're running.
    It's general and powerful, but complex. The socket/file/whatever approach is cleaner, and probably more suited to your usage.
    Don't bother trying to use the Windows task manager for this sort of thing. You have to write messy native code, and it isn't reliable after all that anyway.

  • How to allow access only from certain IPs?

    I have Portal Server 6.0 on Sun ONE Web Server and want to allow access to it only from certain IPs, i.e. if my IP differs from predefined, then access is denied (no page is opened).
    How can I implement this with minimal efforts?
    Thanks in advance!

    Where did you set the ACLs?
    When webclients connect direct to the portal/ids this is pretty straight forward using htttpacl files. When SRAP GW's are used for Internet portal access the web or app-server never sees the client IP thus those ACLs don't get applied.
    Am I missing something (won't be the first time... or the last:-)
