GREP - search for anything except one character

Trying to figure out if I can say this in GREP or not....
I want to search for any character that's in a Superscript character style except for registration-mark symbols. Is there a way to exclude one character from a search?
Thanks, Phyllis

Absolutely. Remember the '^' character that indicates 'start of paragraph'? Well ... apparently whoever devised GREP ran out of useful characters, because it's used again in the "exclude" group. It works like this:
[0-9fuzzy]
looks for a single character out of the set '0' to '9' (inclusive), 'f', 'u', 'z', or 'y'. Throwing in the hat reverses the query:
[^0-9fuzzy]
looks for any old single character except those in the set.
The Registered mark has a shortcut of its own in the regular Find -- ^r -- so presumably it's "~r" in GREP mode. If not, copy-and-paste one from your text. So your GREP search should be (with Superscript formatting)
[^~r]
This marks only the next non-registered character; to find longer strings you can safely use
[^~r]+
-- which translates into "any string in superscript, one character or longer, and not containing the Registered mark". Yes, the short version is a bit easier to type.

My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox.

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 this Internet criminal 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 has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Find files that match with given string, except one character in a fixed position

Hi,
I want to find files in a directory with a given string (ss-20140129-process-000*.sdx), where only one character will be mismatched, so have to use wildcard for that character. This means I am looking for filenames where everything needs to be matched except
one character in position of "*". For the samples given below: 1st 3 files matched with the given string, but last 3 files have not matched, so first 3 files will be counted.
ss-20140129-process-0001.sdx
ss-20140129-process-0004.sdx
ss-20140129-process-0009.sdx
zx-20140129-process-0001.sdx
bt-20140129-process-0002.sdx
zx-20140129-process-0001.sdx
I can use the command like (GCI -path $folder -filter ss-20140129-process-000?.sdx), BUT problem is i am building a string for the filter (code given below), where i DO NOT know how to use "?" within the string to make a character exception.
Code:
$datevalue = [datetime]::parseexact($trandate,"MMddyy",$null)
$yyyymmdd = $datevalue.tostring('yyyyMMdd')
$FileToCheck = ("ss-"+$yyyymmdd+"-process-000?.sdx")
GCI -path $folder -filter $FileToCheck
But it's definitely NOT working for syntax problem.
Any help?

I don't think it's a syntax issue in the filter. This works fine for me:
$yyyymmdd = '20140129'
$FileToCheck = ("ss-"+$yyyymmdd+"-process-000?.sdx")
Get-ChildItem -Path . -Filter $FileToCheck
<#
Output:
Directory: C:\source\Temp\sdxtext
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
-a--- 1/30/2014 10:16 AM 0 ss-20140129-process-0001.sdx
-a--- 1/30/2014 10:16 AM 0 ss-20140129-process-0004.sdx
-a--- 1/30/2014 10:16 AM 0 ss-20140129-process-0009.sdx
#>
You can try adding some debug output right before the call to Get-ChildItem. Check the values of $Folder and $FileToCheck, make sure they're correct. You can also fiddle with the values and call Get-ChildItem manually until it works, which would then tell you
how the code needs to be changed.

Search for a not numerical character

Hello,
is it possible to search for a not numerical character in a string?
E.g. # 1237538, the characters '#', ' ' and '' should be deleted.
The answer to this problem should be as fast as possible, because I have very many numbers to edit.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
<u><b>Finding Character Strings</b></u>
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str> - Function
<pattern> - Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>. - Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern> - A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>* - Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Ex.
DATA STRING(30) VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
ULINE /1(26).
SEARCH STRING FOR 'X'.
WRITE: / 'X', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'
SEARCH STRING FOR 'itt '.
WRITE: / 'itt ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '.e .'.
WRITE: / '.e .', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '*e'.
WRITE: / '*e ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR 's*'.
WRITE: / 's* ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. Any suggestions?

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility. Any suggestions?

Is the computer in you equipment line:
Dual Core Intel Xenon
(which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
Mac Pro
and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

After the update why can't I search for anything?

I did all updates the system says I need now I can't search for anything. Every search result has a pop up window "itunes store not available. try again later". been trying for hours.
after reading the other problems on here I'm afraid to connect my Ipod touch
what is going on?????

I updated my iTunes to 10.2.2 this morning and have had various odd things happening. Including strange things with the iTunes Store, and also my Home Sharing bombing out on me. It just occurred to me that I haven't restarted my MackBook in a while, and then I remembered that Software Update didn't ask for a restart after updating iTunes when normally it does.
Anyway, I retstarted my Macbook, and my iTunes now appears to be behaving itself. The Store is fine and I have Home Sharing back on my iDevices too.
I'm sure you've probably done a restart, but maybe like me, you haven't, as to be quite frank, I rarely have to as nothing really goes wrong.

Spotlight is not indexing my hard drive? Mail won't search for anything.

Ok, So I tried the command prompt: "sudo mdutil -E /" and it just tells me that indexing is disabled. I've tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? I can't find a way for spotlight to re-index my hard drive. Also, when I search for anything in mail, nothing will come up. And I have it set to search for everything. Any ideas with that? Help with either problem would be appreciated! thanks.

Might give a try with Spotless...

How can I remove this awful "Search for anything you want" screen that keeps preventing me from returning to my launcher's home screen?

I'm a long-time user of Firefox for Android. I love it. However, something very frustrating has been going on recently.
I have a Galaxy S5 Active ( Physical home button ) and lately, nearly every time I press the home button, I get this extremely irritating screen which displays "Search quickly for anything you want". Sometimes I press the home button over and over and it won't go away. I will press home after reading an SMS, and there it is. It is driving me insane, and there have been times where I have really wanted my phone to work "right now" and that screen pops up and gets in my way.
This didn't used to exist for me. I really, REALLY don't want to switch to a different browser, but I can't find any info on how to deal with / suppress this new search screen.
Any way to do this? Or can this issue be addressed if not? I wondered if it had something to do with having an actual home button, as opposed to a capacitive one.
Thanks for reading.

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
This never happened before version 35.

Windows 8 hangs or freezes whenever search for anything

Rebuild the Index
Whenever you try to search for something in windows, its indexing which find the things quickly and brings that to you.If indexing is disabled or corrupt computer won't be able to search and will not present the search results.Windows uses the index to perform very fast searches on your computer.
The index requires almost no maintenance. However, if the index can't find a file that you know exists in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches might be incomplete until the index is fully rebuilt.
Go to Control panel and open Indexing Options.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Indexing Options window. This displays a new window titled Advanced Options.
Click the Index Settings tab if it isn’t selected already.
Click the Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the file index.
Click OK to confirm.
For more information on Advance indexing option you can read article on microsoft's website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-advanced-indexing-options
Step 2 will always fix this issue but just in case its not helpful try the next Step 3.
3.Check the Registry Value
Manual Fix 1
1. Press Windows Key + R to get the run dialogue box.
2. Type "regedit.exe" in the box and hit enter.
3. Using the box on the left, navigate to the following directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
4. We need to change a registry called "Start_SearchFiles" to a value of 2. If you are like me, yours is already 2. We need to reset this so what we are going to do it change it to 0, then back to 2.
5. Double-click Start_SearchFiles or right-click and select "Modify" to get the edit box. Change the number under "Value data" to 0 then click "Ok".
6. Repeat step 5, changing the value back to 2.
7. Restart your computer.

Hi,
Regarding current information we can't say that it related to this exe file.
We need to use Clean boot mode and Safe mode to test the results:
Please first restart the Windows in Clean boot and see if the issue still persists after reboot:
How to perform a clean boot
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists in Clean boot mode, please test in Safe mode.
Let me know the results in Safe mode.
If we cannot identify this issue in Clean boot and safe mode, please help to collect the boot trace and let's see what cause this issue:

Is there a way to Search (List search) for more then one field text from a column for Bulk uploading?

I've been trying to find more information on this and I apologies if this has already been answered. I just don't know the correct way to ask this. We have a SharePoint List at the company that we have people input information into different columns. The
problem is most of those information are very repetitive. Is there a way for me to search more then one field text in the column and just input that same information in?
ex:
Column 1
Column 2
Date:
883851
MidWest
User input
8831518
MidWest
User input
On the search field in the SharePoint List, I would need to search for 883851, 8831518 etc, would view those requested numbers, then I would click edit and change dates to those rows. Does that make sense? I'm sorry I'm fairly new at sharepoint.

I think what you're asking is about having repetitive options in a list, show up easily for new items being created.
This can be done by setting the columns that contain repetitive information to Choice fields. In the configuration of the Choice field, check the box for "Allow custom values". Now as users are entering data into the list, the dropdown of options
for a given field grows and users can quickly see and select previously entered and thus repetitive values for the given fields.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Can you search for more than one person in a photo

Let's say you named all the faces in iphoto and now you want to search for a photo that contains two particular people, for example I want iphoto to find all the pictures that have Bob and Mary in that shot.
Is there a way to do this. I tried and it finds Bobs and Mary's pictures but not the ones where they are together? Maybe there is a way by writing Bob + Mary and then iphoto will find all those pictures?
Thanks

It will work with any of the smart album criteria - file menu ==> new smart album
The easiest way to see is to take a look at what is available there - and make a smart album or two - if you don't like them just drag them to the iPhoto trash and do another one

Search for more words one time

Goodmorning, as long someone could help me with the other issue http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1057325?tstart=0 I have another question for you.
I need to search for a specific list of words but I want to search only one time... So for example if I'm searching 3 different words HELLO - GOODBYE - CIAO I want that acrobat perform the searches in the same time and let me see how many times the words are repeated.
I try with the advanced search but I can only search one word at time... I see there is a command under tools>protection>find and remove text (hope I have translate right from Italian software) to search for different words in the same time but the problem is that it can't report how many times thw words are repeated. As you see I need a mix of the two tools
Do you have some suggestions?
Hope to read you soon. Thanks,
Luca
PS: I know I can do that with the boolean expression but in this way acrobat doesn't separate the rusults.
