How to find all Hypercard documents in Leopard?

When I upgraded to a Mac Pro from a G4, I lost my ability to work with Hypercard (I do use Sheepshaver occasionally, but it crashes frequently). I recently purchased Supercard, in order to be able to continue to work in a Hypercard-like environment (and it works great), but I have to convert my Hypercard projects and stacks to Supercard format.
I have several old Hypercard documents scattered throughout my mac's hard drives, and want to be able to find them all using Leopard's find abilities. However, I have discovered that (unlike in Tiger), Leopard cannot search by Creator Code or file Type Code, only by "Kind". When I try to search by "Kind" for "HyperCard" or "Hypercard Document" (Leopard displays the latter in the Get Info box for a Hypercard stack), I get no results. It works for "Microsoft Excel", but not for Hypercard.
None of content, size or date help work; there is a wide range of stack sizes and date (I was working on various projects from the late 1980s through last year). Content varies widely as well.
Any ideas on how I can find all Hypercard stacks on my drives? Perhaps there is a 3rd party tool that allows me to do this (I've searched with no luck on this front yet).
Thanks!

I tried this and it works as you describe, but not all Hypercard documents appear to have the same content type, as described by Terminal.
The first Hypercard stack I tried came up with the content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8xe6u
The search only found the one result with this type (the same stack).
Then I tried using the Hypercard "Home" stack (a pretty central stack to Hypercard's functioning), and it had a content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8zgzcbmq
(note the type is longer with a different ending; only the first 14 characters are identical to the first stack).
This search found 317 items, which is likely most of my Hypercard documents, so this is some progress.
Unfortunately I know that since the first stack I tried had a different content type, there may be other Hypercard stacks on my hard drive with yet a different content type, not caught by these searches.
I then tried a wildcard, thinking that if only the first 14 characters of the content type are identical, I focus my search on those characters only, using asterisk as a wildcard at the end. So I searched for:
dyn.ah62d4rv4g*
The result was 526 hits, including many documents that are not Hypercard. So this doesn't help.
It appears that the content type is not exactly specific to a the File Type or Creator Code, so while I can find many of a particular document, this method cannot find all of one type of document.
I tried searching using raw query by the Terminal-reported File Type Code (kMDItemFSTypeCode= "STAK"), but this revealed no items.
Perhaps I should suggest this to Apple as a bug fix for Leopard, to restore the ability to search by Type Code or Creator Code as a choice in the OS Find service? I know these codes are no longer relied on as much as they used to be, since now the OS uses extension as much as anything else, but there is lots of older software that still run in Leopard that use Type and Creator codes. And Apple still recommends registering the creator code of any new software.
Thank you!

  • How to find all bookmarked PDF documents in Preview in Mavericks?

    Hi there,
      the problem is that before upgrading to Mavericks I could view all my bookmarked PDF documents just via menu bar in Preview, but now in Mavericks I have no idea how to manage this bookmarked documents - I can see bookmarks only after opening these PDF files which have been bookmarked. Just imagine that you have thousands of documents of which only a couple have been bookmarked for later reading - as I can see the only way to find these documents in Maverick is to open documents one by one and see whether they have bookmarks or not... Is there any way to bypass this painful procedure?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,

  • How to find all JMX ports on a server?

    How to find all jmx ports on particular server (say localhost) on windows
    I have multiple JVM's running on my local server, and there is extensive use of JXM mbeans by the applications running on each server. So I want to connect to all these JMX servers and to instrument the MBeans using Jconsole(Jconsole localhost:<port>). But I don't know the port numbers, and its not logged by the application.
    How do I find all the ports jmx servers connected?
    Note : In my case I can not instrument using the PID.
    thanks,
    bala K

    Hi kajbj,
    I tried stop/start the application, but couldn't find any difference in the netstat command. I know it should show the JMX port (I am able to see on a test application), but this application's JMX port usage is missing.
    netstat -ano --> Do i need to use any other commands?
    I just injected few lines of code ( to list the MBeanServers programatically), to this application (did some usual tweaks to let this code execute at some time) and its listing couple of MBeanServers and lot of MBeans.
    MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(null); and so on.....
    Is there a way to get the port using the Management API's?
    thanks,

  • How to find all the tables associated for a particular transaction

    Hi-
    May I know how to find all the tables, related(foreign key) tables for a transaction within SAP GUI?
    Up to my technical knowledge, this can be achieved by looking database diagrams from DB level. But that would be for entire database as a whole. What I'm expecting is to see transaction level relative tables that too from SAP GUI. Please share the possibilities if any.

    Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
    Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
    So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

  • How to find all solutions for reordering of vector

    hello everyone
    -I have problem in finding all possible solutions for reordering of vector.
    -I have vector named (vect_temp) and I want to find all possible reordering of this vector.
    -I have function named Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) works as follows : I should gave it an element (next_point) in the vector (vect_temp) and it must generate the vector (vect_diff) that contains all possible elements next elements.
    -The function nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) works as follows : I should gave it an element (next_point) in the vector (vect_temp) and it must generate the vector (vect_min) that contains all possible elements next elements.
    -reordering critriea:
    -Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) and (next_point) in this first iteration is equal to any selected element in the (vect_temp). after calling the functions, if element in the (vect_diff) is equal to the element in ( vect_min) then add this element into the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and call functions Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point) and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) again , next_point now is the equal to the element that we have been added in the previous step into the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and repeat this process until all elements in (vect_temp) are ordered according to this criteria.
    - I'm able to do reordering according to the cirtira above and find one solution. but the problem is that if (vect_diff) contains many elements that equal to many elements in ( vect_min), in this case I need to do reordering for the first equal element and this will be one solution and then find reordering for the next equal element and so on.
    let's consider this example:
    - let (vect_temp) contains element [5,9,7,3,1]
    - for the firs iteration let the next_point equal to 7
    - after calling function Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point), then (vect_diff) will contain [ 5,9,3]
    - after calling function nex_min(vect_temp,next_point), then ( vect_min) will contain [ 5,9]
    so for now (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) will have two equal elements.
    - the first solution must be that fist take the first equal element and do reordering such that ordered set [ vec_ordering] will equal to [7,5] then call functions Min_diff(vect_temp,next_point), and nex_min(vect_temp,next_point) again. the( next_point) in this iteration is qual to 5, these funtions will find next elements, let's consider that (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) will have equal element [3] then add this element to the ordered set [ vec_ordering] and repeat calling functions util all elments in (vect_temp) are added to the ordered set [ vec_ordering]. This will be one solution. now the second solution will be is to take second equal elment [9] instead of [5] and continue calling functions and finding ordered list.
    so that each time vect_diff and vect_min will have many equal elements, then do reordering for first equal element this is one solution and then do reordering for the second equal element and so on.
    -my code that can only find one solution that takes only first equal element in (vect_diff) and ( vect_min) and continue ordering is below
    for (int y = 0; y < vect_temp.size(); y++) {
         Min_diff(vect_temp);
         nex_min(vect_temp, next_point);
        for (int i = 0; i < vect_diff.size(); i++) {
         String element_min = vect_diff.get(i).toString();
         if (vect_min.contains(element_min)) {
           vec_ordering.add(element_min);
         _2nd_min_element = element_min;
          vec_temp.removeElement(next_point);
          next_point = _2nd_min_element;
          i = vect_diff.size();
         }// end if condition
        } // end for (i)loop
    }// end for (y) loop
    I hope that someone can answer me how to find all posssible reordering set it is urgent pleasssssse

    Is it possible to check if this serial number is allready in use in any document ?

    Hi Mengelkemier,
    I think you're posting in the wrong forum.  This forum is intended to be used to discuss virtualizing Exchange Server on the the vSphere platform.  The question you're asking seems to be a mobile device specific question.
    You would probably get better visibility posting on a forum dedicated to your particular device.  And for what it's worth, some devices will let you sync all of your email and others will only let you sync a certain amount.  It's dependent on the device you're using.
    Good luck in finding your answer.

  • I cant find all my documents since the update it is totally different how do I get them back?

    Since my Adobe Reader updated I can't find some of my documents. It was so easy before "recent documents" were ones I had just downloaded then I  could go to "all documents " where I could rename them. This is all done on my android phone as I don't have my computer at the moment.  My question is "how do I get them back to the way it was or how do I retrieve my documents?

    I have the same question. I have hundreds of downloads in my tablet and now can't work with them. They  keep duplicating and this cloud thing won't let me delete or edit them without paying afee. I just want to open and read what I already have downloaded. I have hundreds of hours of time in my downloads and now they are worthless. If I delete DC and go back to old version will I lose all my
