Help writing a search bash function

hi
i want to make me a bash function which executes find -iname '*[foo]*'
my try
function search {
find -iname '*$1*'
didn't work

Use double quotes, like jasonwryan suggested.
'man bash', section QUOTING has some info on this:
There are three quoting mechanisms: the escape character, single
quotes, and double quotes.
Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal value of
each character within the quotes.
The special parameters * and @ have special meaning when in double
quotes (see PARAMETERS below)

I just bought an iPhone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the screen to the left, the search box appears but when I type what I want to search for, there is no action. Please help.

I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

Try this...
You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

[solved] Need Help with bash function

I would like to have a bash function that lets me create tar.xz archives. I have the following in my bash now:
mktar() { tar cf "${1%%/}.tar" "${1%%/}/"; }
mktgz() { tar czf "${1%%/}.tar.gz" "${1%%/}/"; }
mktbz() { tar cjf "${1%%/}.tar.bz2" "${1%%/}/"; }
Any advice would be appreciated.

orphius1970 should learn some shell scripting.
$FILE is obviously the archive name and is $1 the first argument.
$* would be the rest of the arguments (only so after the shift command.
So, archive archive_name list of files to be archived.
Example: archive stuff.tar.gz stuff/

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

Hi Pradeep,
Please have a look into the below site which might be useful

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

Help with fuzzy search (doesn't work if change order of certain 2 letters)

Hi,
need some help with fuzzy search. It's pretty simple - we use fuzzy search on varchar2 columns that contain first name and last_name. The problem is that i don't really understand why it can't find name in some cases.
Say i want to search for 'Taekpaul'. Then
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TAEKPAUL)',1) > 0 - works
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TAEKPALU)',1) > 0 - works (changed order of the 2 last letters)
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TEAKPAUL)',1) > 0 - doesn't work, finds 'Tejpaul' that is completely unrelated (changed 2nd, 3rd order)
How can i make it find 'Taekpaul' even if i search for TEAKPAUL? Is it related to index? Like Text index should be created with some different parameters?
Thanks!

Thanks, adding '!' worked :)
Do you know where i can read more about '!' and other special characters? I think i didn't see anything like that here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/text.101/b10730/cqoper.htm#BABBJGFJ
I also started using JARO_WINKLER_SIMILARITY function that is actually better i think for what i do. But it's very buggy - sometimes Oracle crashes and kills connection when you try to use it.
Ahha, it's here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/text.102/b14218/cqspcl.htm

Need help writing host program using LabView.

Need help writing host program using LabView.
Hello,
I'm designing a HID device, and I want to write a host program using National Instrument's LabView. NI doesn't have any software support for USB, so I'm trying to write a few C dll files and link them to Call Library Functions. NI has some documentation on how to do this, but it's not exactly easy reading.
I've written a few C console programs (running Win 2K) using the PC host software example for a HID device from John Hyde's book "USB by design", and they run ok. From Hyde's example program, I've written a few functions that use a few API functions each. This makes the main program more streamlined. The functions are; GetHIDPath, OpenHID, GetHIDInfo, Writ
eHID, ReadHIC, and CloseHID. As I mentioned, my main program runs well with these functions.
My strategy is to make dll files from these functions and load them into LabView Call Library Functions. However, I'm having a number of subtle problems in trying to do this. The big problem I'm having now are build errors when I try to build to a dll.
I'm writing this post for a few reasons. First, I'm wondering if there are any LabView programmers who have already written USB HID host programs, and if they could give me some advice. Or, I would be grateful if a LabView or Visual C programmer could help me work out the programming problems that I'm having with my current program. If I get this LabView program working I would be happy to share it. I'm also wondering if there might already be any USB IHD LabView that I could download.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bank statement upload - change posting rule with search pattern function

Hi Experts,
I am trying to set up electronic bank statement. When clearing customer accounts I have some cases where the posting rule should be changed.
I have for example the following text somewhere in the reference field:
CASHPOOL.
If found, I would like the posting rule changed so only GL-area is posted and not a clearing on customer account required.
I set this up in the search pattern
C > G
A > L
S > 0
H > 1
P
O
O
L
GL01 is the posting rule, that only posts area 1.
I have assigned this pattern to the specific external code and also activated it. In the simulation function in the definition of the pattern I get the result (2 hits).
However, when reading the statement (FF_5) nothing is changed and also in simulation transaction FEBSTS or in statement post-processing I do not see anything.
Does anyone know whether I could get around this with the search pattern functionality here? What and how would I need to set it up to cover those case as above?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks + Regards
Hein

Hi Shannon,
we have assigned the search string as well as the external transaction in global EBS settings to 031 algorithm`(customer from document nubmer), as in normal cases customer invoices are to be cleared here and this is working fine.
For this search pattern here with GL01 we would like to change the rule.
However, my tests with statement does not work for that. The rule stays as is.
So, from your words I read that I need to have here a second rule that changes the algorithm? Is this possible, what would I need to set so the original use is still working out (that customer items are cleared).
Tanks + Regards
Hein

Implementation of F4 value help for a search field which is an EEWB field

Hi...
I am trying to create a F4 value help for a search field which is an eewb field.The f4 value help jus need to be a pop up containing the values of the field existing in the system.Since this is a search field the GET_V method cannot be used. I tried implementing it by creating a search help and then using it in the GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS method.But the problem when u use the search help is that all the values including the null values and duplicate entries will be populated when f4 is clicked.Is there any way to filter the values that get populated when f4 is clicked?If any other method can be used to implement the functionality please let me know..Thanks in advance....

Hi,
the GET_V methods worked for me most of the time. Even in advanced searchs. Only time they do not is if there is a different aproach considered in the GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS.
As the GET_V_ you created obviously was called I suppose you found the correct place to Populate it to be used in the search.
I do not know what the problem with the NULL values and duplicate entries is you talked about, but it sounds to me the creation of your valuehelp class is flawed. Not the integration into the UI.
Maybe have a look at SAPs' standard implementations of Search Components. You should get a feeling for how search helps work. See. BT111S_OPPT, BP_HEAD_SEARCH

Need Help Writing Server side to submit form via API

Hey
I need help writing a serverside application to submit
information via API to a separate server.
I have a client that uses constant contact for email
campaigns. We want to add to her website a form taht submits the
information needed to subscribe to her email list, to constant
contact via API.
FORM.asp :: (i got this one under control)
name
email
and submits to serverside.asp
SERVERSIDE.ASP
In serverside.asp i need to have
the API URL
(https://api.constantcontact.com/0.1/API_AddSiteVisitor.jsp)
username (of the constant contact account)
password (of the constant contact account)
name (submited from form.asp)
email (submitted from form.asp)
redirect URL (confirm.asp)
Can anyone help get me going in the right direction?
i have tried several things i found on the net and just cant
get anyone to work correctly.
One main issue i keep having is that if i get it to submit to
the API url correctly - i get a success code, it doesnt redirect to
the page i am trying to redirect to.
ASP or ASP.NET code would be find.
THANKS
sam

> This does require server side programming.

If you are submitting a form to a script on a remote server,
and letting
that script load content to the browser, YOU have no control
over what it
loads UNLESS there is some command you can send it that it
will understand.
No amount of ASP on your server is going to change what the
remote script
does.
http://www.constantcontact.com/services/api/index.jsp
they only allow their customers to see the instructions for
the API so i
can't search to see IF there is a redirect you can send with
the form info.
But posts on their support board say that there is.

How to use search/find function in a whole book?

Hi,
New to indesign... working on a book file which comprises 25 chapters.
I'd like to do a final proof to ensure all double spaces have gone, all quote marks are right etc
Instead of opening each chapter and using "search/find" through each chapter, can i tell the "search/find" function through the whole book?
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks heaps

Apparently Adobe thought that would be more appreciated than a book-wide Search/Replace.
You can read all about CS5's new features, and their selection procedure, on http://indesignsecrets.com/michael-ninness-answers-indesign-cs5-critics.php. The "Book" feature doesn't even get mentioned under "Sorry, we didn't change that at all." Also make sure to read the comments -- it seems lots of people really want more book features.
If you're one of them (so it seems), you might want to pay a visit to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
