How to find specific text WITHIN iTunes lyrics?

I've been trying to figure out how to search within existing iTunes song lyrics for specific words or phrases, for the purpose of making specific playlists of all songs that contain the specified text.
As an example, I'd like to find all the songs (out of a couple thousand or so) that contain the word "Instrumental" and place them in a list.  Perhaps from there, I'd change all of those songs' Comments to show "[Instrumental]" or some such to make it easier to use some of iTunes built-in tools, or your own excellent ones.
Or maybe I could look for songs that have the word "Notice" in them, so I can examine their lyrics to spot those which only had partial lyrics auto-loaded to them, so I could do a more thorough manual search.
Thanks,
  Ed

I think I'm on the good way with this:
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "CAR67765756";
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "bhbdbds"
    found = app.activeDocument.findText (true);
    if(found.length>0)
        for (j = 0; j < found.length; j++)
            found[j].select();
            alert("true");
            app.documents.item(0).changeText();   
    else
        alert("false");
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

                                             }else if (s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                                              }What is wrong with it because I tried to find "every Tuesday" in
    myfile.txt: "Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday"
    There is big problem with split statement because it takes each word not more than a word.
    I need to have "every Tuesday" not "Tuesday". How to make it correct codes?

    I am going to give you a picture of how the output will look.
    Here are two sentences from myfile.txt:
    Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday
    Meet with research students on Thursday
    I need to read from myfile.txt and to find specific words in each sentences like this output:
    Every Tuesday : Go fishing
    Every Wednesday : Go fishing
    Thursday : Meet with research students
    Ok. make sense? Now I am trying to figure out how to find specific words in each sentence from myfile.txt.
    That is why I have difficult with the splits statement and loops. Like this:
           public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
                String result = "";
                String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
              for (String s1: s){
                   for (String s2: days){
                        if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                             if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                             }else if(s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                             }else if(s2.matches("Thursday")){
                             }else{
                                  System.out.println("That sentence is not working");
                return result;
      }So look at the "Thursday" it is working the output because I have split statement to give me only one word not more than
    a word in sentence. So there is big problem with more than a word in sentence like this "every Tuesday" and it won't work at all because of split. Could you please help me how to do that? I appreciated for that help. Thanks.

    Hi Amit,
    In application area FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING , go for node LINE ITEM. Here create a step & maintain the prerequisite as per your requirement & in the check you can mention the code or you can direct it to a custom program like ZFI_RGGBR000.
    Here while maintaining the check you will get structures BKPF & BSEG in which you will get the desired field you are looking for.
    Just try to explore in your system how the other validations are maintained.
    After you are done with all your code, you have to run the regeneration program RGUGBR00.
    Here utmost care should be taken while running regeneration program, you should select all the checkboxes in the selection screen except  GENERATE SETS, GEN SUBSTN ROUTNS IN ALL CLNTS  & TRACE PROG. GENERATE CALLS .
    Hope this make your doubt clear.
    Regards

    We also found there was a "COL TEXT A80" in our glogin.sql. I don't know whether we put it there or whether it was installed by default.

  • Using CTRL + F not working to find any text within the query result

    Hi friends,
    I am trying to use find option to find any text within the result section of a query but when I do CTRL+F  the find window appears and I can input the text that I wanted. But when I press Enter it is not giving me any result though the entered text
    is in the query result. I am using Sql Server 2012 Management studio. Any Body please help me. There is a job that I have to search certain things after running a script and now I am doing copy paste to excel and doing searching from there. 

    Prashant,
    Looks like you are trying to do in SSMS, and it is because the result set is in Grid view , if you want to use CTL + F then your result should be in Text format, try to do using CTL + T ( To get result in Text) and then use CTL + F to find any
    text.

  • How to find referenced photos within the Photos app

    Problem:
    Upon instructing Photos to use iCloud Photo Library, the app informed me:
    "104 referenced files in your library will not upload to iCloud Photo Library. Select referenced files in your library and choose 'Consolidate' from the File menu to copy the original files into the library."
    I do not know which 104 images in my library are referenced, and therefore cannot use "Consolidate" to import the masters into the library.
    Can anyone tell me how to find referenced files, within the active library in the Photos app?
    I am not asking how to use the "Show Referenced File in Finder" menu command. I need to identify a file as referenced first, hence this post!

    Gotcha - came up with a workaround... since the photos were living in the Photo Library packaged itself, and not simply in another regular folder, I right clicked on the library and said show packaged content, then search for what folders the files lived in, then copied the files out of the packaged library into a folder. Then I was able to give the Photos Library access to the new folder with the files.
    With all my files now references, I enabled iCloud Photo Library and am uploading now.
    Hopefully my new local Photo Library will be smart enough to optimize local images and shrink to give me more space.
    Thanks.

  • Spotlight can't find song text in iTunes

    In iTunes you can type the text of a song in the field: Text - but Spotlight can't find this information.
    But if you copy the same text in Info - and the box: comments - Voila - Here we go!
    It would be a good thing if Spotlight can find all the information you have about your songs - like text from a Dashboard widget - (this text file IS FOUND!)
    Is it possibel for Spotlight to find this information?
    Thanks

    Hi, flemminglimar.
    There's no "Text" field in the Get Info window for any song I have in iTunes. I'm running iTunes 6.0.2.
    If I launch iTunes, Control-Click a song, select Get Info from the resulting context menu, then click the Info tab, there's no Text field therein.
    Have you installed some tool like ID3X for adding lyrics to sounds?
    iTunes now includes a Lyrics tab into which one can type or paste song lyrics. This seems to be a relatively recent addition to iTunes. Adding content to the Lyrics tab of a song file actually writes them inside the song file itself, but Spotlight does not find them. It appears that the Spotlight plug-in for Audio has not been updated since Tiger was released and does not index the lyrics, hence it cannot find songs based on their lyrics.
    Good luck!
