how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

Easiest way to do it is the following:
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
- Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
- Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
- Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
- Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
- Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
- Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
- Select the edited XML file and import it.

How to find and replace any string between " "

Hi everyone,
Here my sample
String szTest;
szTest = "Yellow banana";
szTest = "Blue monkey";
szTest = "Red mango";
szTest is only needed when it's in testing progress. Now I want to put all of that in the /*comment*/ so the released program won't run those code any more (but still keep szTest so I can use it for future develop testing).
So Here what I want after using the Find and Replace Box:
//String szTest; //Manual
/*szTest = "Yellow banana";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Blue monkey";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Red mango";*/ //use find and replace
I think I can do this with Regular expressions or Wildcards. But I don't know how to find and replace any string between " and ".
Find: szTest = " ??Any string?? ";
Replace with: /*szTest = " ??Any string?? ";*/
Thanks for reading.

Hi Nathan.j.Smith,
Based on your issue, I suggest you can try the Joel's suggestion check your issue again. In addition, I find a MSDN document about how to use the Regex.Replace Method to match a regular expression pattern with a specified replacement string,
maybe you will get some useful message.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xwewhkd1(v=vs.110).aspx
If the above suggestion still could not provide you, could you please tell me what language you use to create the program for finding and replace any string using regular expression so that we will find the correct programming develop forum to support this
issue?

SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

Hi there,
Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
Thanks,

Hi，
Per my knowledge,
it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

How to find and replacing the path (url) given for data binding from type 'datasocket'

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to pose this question as my own knowledge is still very limited.
I have an assignment (bachelor level). We were asked to adjust a plc program in step7 so that multiple of an existing sequence could be run indepently.
The settings for that sequence are controlled by labview. Sensor data is also viewed in labview.
There is an existing labview VI that was made by someone else before us. It uses 'Datasocket' type for data binding. Because we would like to adjust this VI to be used with the other sequences, we would like to change the original path or URL quickly, as in a 'Find&Replace' solution. Yet the find and replace only works for objects or text, not entries in the properties.
Can someone please tell me if there is a way to do is, without having to use shared variables, as we are not at all known with this type.
Many thanks,
Niels

Dear Niels,
Please find the attached example. I placed 5 controls on the front panel, all with a data socket URL (control 1 = URL1, control 2 = URL2 etc). Through property nodes I did the following;
- I got a reference to the front panel
- with this reference we can get an array of references to the controls on this front panel
- one by one we will read the references and check the data socket URL from the control, we compare this with the URL we are searching
- if found, stop we will use the reference to write a new URL to the control.
Please notice the default values of the controls; it is set to search for URL3 and replace this with URL10, run the VI once and you will see that happening. I also included a sting indicator which will show you the label of the control which we find. Also a Boolean indicator in case we were not able to find the URL.
I downsaved the VI to 8.6, I'm not sure in which version you are working, if you have 8.6 or higher you are able to open it. Hope this brings you further,
Best regards,

You can't, not in Acrobat anyway.

[Forum FAQ] How to find and replace text strings in the shapes in Excel using Windows PowerShell

Windows PowerShell is a powerful command tool and we can use it for management and operations. In this article we introduce the detailed steps to use Windows PowerShell to find and replace test string in the
shapes in Excel Object.
Since the Excel.Application
is available for representing the entire Microsoft Excel application, we can invoke the relevant Properties and Methods to help us to
interact with Excel document.
The figure below is an excel file:
Figure 1.
You can use the PowerShell script below to list the text in the shapes and replace the text string to “text”:
$text = “text1”,”text2”,”text3”,”text3”
$Excel
= New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $true
$Workbook
= $Excel.workbooks.open("d:\shape.xlsx")
#Open the excel file
$Worksheet
= $Workbook.Worksheets.Item("shapes")
#Open the worksheet named "shapes"
$shape = $Worksheet.Shapes
# Get all the shapes
$i=0
# This number is used to replace the text in sequence as the variable “$text”
Foreach ($sh in $shape){
$sh.TextFrame.Characters().text
# Get the textbox in the shape
$sh.TextFrame.Characters().text =
$text[$i++]
#Change the value of the textbox in the shape one by one
$WorkBook.Save()
#Save workbook in excel
$WorkBook.Close()
#Close workbook in excel
[void]$excel.quit()
#Quit Excel
Before invoking the methods and properties, we can use the cmdlet “Get-Member” to list the available methods.
Besides, we can also find the documents about these methods and properties in MSDN:
Workbook.Worksheets Property (Excel):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff835542(v=office.15).aspx
Worksheet.Shapes Property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff821817(v=office.15).aspx
Shape.TextFrame Property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff839162(v=office.15).aspx
TextFrame.Characters Method (Excel):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff195027(v=office.15).aspx
Characters.Text Property (Excel):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff838596(v=office.15).aspx
After running the script above, we can see the changes in the figure below:
Figure 2.

Thank you for the information, but does this thread really need to be stuck to the top of the forum?
If there must be a sticky, I'd rather see a link to a page on the wiki that has links to all of these ForumFAQ posts.
EDIT: I see this is no longer stuck to the top of the forum, thank you.

How to find and replace the text present in the url

I have a column of type NCLOB with some text having url's in between as shown below:
========================================================================
This text is for testign purpose.This text is for testign purpose.
<A PL/SQL <U PL/SQL </U> </A>
Thsi text is also for testign purpose.This text is for testign purpose.

========================================================================
Requirement:
========
Requirement is to implement the find and replace functionality.
I just need to check whether the search text is present in the url or not?
Suppose if search for orcale.com, since its part of the url so the search should be successful otherwise search should be unsuccessful.
Here I can give you the hint like, always the url lies between the anchor tags *(<A </A>).*
Tahnks in Advance.

I had I think a similiar question the other day thay I Frank and Michaels answered for me.
not sure if I totally have what you want but.
WITH t
        AS (SELECT '<A PL/SQL <U PL/SQL Thsi text is also for testign purpose.This text is for testign purpose.

                      txt
              FROM DUAL)
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '(.*<A)|(</A>.*)'), 'oracle.com')
FROM tthe first part the regexp replace part gets the text between a start and end point you mentioned that would be <A and </A>
the regexp substr just looks for the phrase oracle.com in the text between those two points.

How to find and replace with sequential values?

im building a website. it contains 12 main images per page and luckily according to my design the source code per page contains 12 <img> tags only (rest is background and stuff). now for many pages i keep using a particular page as template and then change each and every image by browsing and clicking. Now i want to make my work easy.
the images that i want to add in every page are sequentially file named. 001.jpg , 002.jpg .......... and so on.
So is there some way that i can use find and replace , to find the <img> tags and fill them all with values sequentially that is the first <img> tag containts 001.jpg and the second containts 002,jpg and so on .
the pages are many thats why i want to make this easy
thanks very much for help

Will they ever do this? I just wish Adobe would purchase TextPad and integrate it into Dreamweaver. In TextPad, from the manual:
Other TextPad options in the replacement string:
\i Generate a sequence number.
\i(N,M) Ditto, starting at N and incrementing by M.
So beautifully simple.

SharePoint Calc Column - How to Find and Replace ANY & ALL Values with Something Else

Haven't found a solution on this even though it seems like it should be cut and dry.
I have a column containing characters "-" (e.g., XXX123-123-fjhrh-sdafsdfsd). I want to find every "-" and replace it with "@". Seems easy but so far haven't found a solution. My calc column always seems to stop at the first
occurence of "-" and only replace that one. Seems every forumula wants you to tell SharePoint where to start (position). You can't simply tell SharePoint, Find this "-" ALL OCCURENCES and replace with this "@" ALL OCCURENCES.
I don't have the option of saying start at this position because my data is not the same in every cell/field (e.g., number of characters).
Closest I've gotten is this:
=REPLACE([IN THIS COLUMN],FIND("-",[IN THIS COLUMN]),LEN("-","@")
RESULTS:
XXX@123-XXX-123

Hi JJSHAREP,
The formula only works when there are only three "-" in the column value, and the formula will fail if there are more than or less than three "-" in the column value.
I recommend to use Jquery code to replace the characters in the column called IN THIS COLUMN in the UI:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var Index=0;
$(".ms-listviewtable tr th").each(function(i){
if($(this).find("div").attr("name")=="IN_x0020_THIS_x0020_COLUMN"){
Index=i;
$(".ms-listviewtable tr").each(function(i){
if(i>0){
var value=$(this).find("td").eq(Index).text();
var value1=value.replace(/\-/g, '@');
$(this).find("td").eq(titleIndex).text(value1);
</script>
Best regards.
Thanks

Anyone know how to find and replace a hard drive cable fo an HP Pavilion zv5160us laptop?

I received message that my hard drive had failed. I ordered an identical drive and replaced it. I now get error message:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: exiting PXE ROM
The recovery disks will not reformat the drive. What does the cable look like. Can it be replaced? Where could I find one?
Thanks for any help as I have bought new hard drive, more memory and recovery disks. Hate to lose my investment completely. Should have just bought a new laptop!

How to find and replace a URL in content

See this page:
http://democraticpartyofgeorgia.org/events/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Week&sm=9&sd=9&sy=2007
It's pushing the margins way out because some people are
typing in long URLs in their event description (See the meeting on
September 10). I'd like to be able to parse the event descrip and
replace that long url with a hyperlink where the long url is in the
href, but what is linked is something link "see link". Is there any
way to do that? I can search for the instance of "
http://" of course, but can't seem to figure out
a way to tell where the link ends....

Look at the ActivateURL udf at
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm/activateurl
It's really more of a question on wrapping a really long
word. The URL isn't wrapping and that is what is pushing out your
margin. You need the column to wrap so that your column is a little
more liquid.
Use the CF wrap() function.
You can also go the CSS route, but the best solution I've
found only works in IE.

How to find and replace the main logic board on HP4600N Laser Printer.

Can anyone let me know how to replace the main logic board on my HP Laser 4600 N. My printer was freezing up and in calling customer service, they informed me that the main logic board is going bad. Now I have the part but no instructions on how to replace or where to find it on the printer.

A Google search may turn up a downloadable service manual for the Laserjet 4600.
