How to search a doc within XMLType

Hello,
I know how I use SQL with XMLType to get the first hit of firstname,
but how do I "adress" my self to the second one...
Se me example doc,
I would like to get the value "Cina"...
Best regards
Anders Gunnare
Frontec
Sweden
<doc>
<name order="1">
<firstname>Anders</firstname>
</name>
<name order="2">
<firstame>Cina</firstname>
</name>
</doc>

If your using xpath search then you can simply reference the 2nd element of name. For your example if i just wanted to get the value "Cina" then i could query like this(assuming i had a table called xmlfiles with a column xmldoc as a XMLType):
select x.xmldoc.extract('///name[2]/firstname/text()').getstringval() name
from xmlfiles x;
This would bring back the result:
SQL> /
NAME
Cina
Not sure if this is what you mean.

How to search for file within compressed file

I hope i can explain this correctly, I apologize in advance.
What is the command to search for a file that may/may not exist within another compressed file?
Situation is that I have a cron job that compresses the files in a folder on a scheduled date. I now need to search for a file that may exists in one of the several compressed files, which was a result of the cron job.
Thanks in advance

There's an open source utility called zgrep. You can probably get it from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ .

How to programmatically order docs within a Portfolio?

I have added documents to a portfolio using c# & calling the jsobject to invoke the javascript importDataObject() method. Now I am trying to work out how to order the documents that I have inserted.   It seems to insert each new document at the beginning of the portfolio.
I am also wondering how to get the inserted doc name to display instead of the original file name.
thanks, Linda

I will have to test with JS only. See entirety of code below. I am pulling the name & fullFilePath out of another c# class..   I have stepped through all in debug & it is definitely passing a name..    ty, linda
// takes a collection drawing element that contains a sublist of all
        // items with matching name/cage code..

A small change to roopa_sree's code, this code fails if there are multiple occurences of the search string in the same line. Make this small change to correct it,import java.io.File;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class WordCounter {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          if(args.length != 1) {

How to search a special string in txt file and return it's position in txt file?

I just posted a solution for a similar question here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=362699#M362699
The top portion can search for the location of a string, while the bottom portion is to locate the position of a character. Both can search for a character.
The position of the character within the file is displayed in the indicator(s).

How to search text in the table?

Suppose, I've selected some fragment in my document, and I need to find and replace some text in it. Everything is ok, untill I select a part of a table with this text. Does anyone has idea, how to search through the selected cells in the table? Or, just how to iterate them?
Thanks!

var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var tbl = doc.SelectedTbl;
// Navigate to the first selected row.
var row = tbl.FirstRowInTbl;
while (row.ObjectValid() === 1) {
    if (row.id === tbl.TopRowSelection.id) {
        break;
    row = row.NextRowInTbl;
// Process the selected rows.
while (row.ObjectValid() ===1) {
    cell = row.FirstCellInRow;
    while (cell.ObjectValid() === 1) {
        if ((cell.CellColNum >= tbl.LeftColNum) && (cell.CellColNum <= tbl.RightColNum)) {
            // Do something here...
        cell = cell.NextCellInRow;
    if (row.id === tbl.BottomRowSelection.id) {
        break;
    row = row.NextRowInTbl;
This should do what you want.

How to search for a dashboard widget

Can someone tell me how to search the Dashboard site for a specific widget?
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/
The ridiculous thing is, I think I asked this same question within the past year and someone answered it. But I'll be damned if I can find the search button again. It just is not intuitive. And when a friend asks me how to do something and I need to tell them I have to ask on the Apple website it's sort of embarrassing.

Type in Dashboard or widget as well as the name or description of that widget into the text field at the top right of the page. Press Enter.

How to search for files using wildcards * and ?.

Hi All,
I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours now and have been unable to find a good example of how to search a directory (Windows OS) for a file using wildcards * and/or ?. Does anyone out there have a good example that they can share with me?
Thanks

Hi All,
First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my question. All of your responses where greatly appreciated.
I took the example code that was posted by rkconner, thanks rkconner, and modified it to allow me to search for files in a directory that contain * and/or ?. Yes, I said and/or! Meaning that you can use them both in the same file name, example: r??d*.t* would find readme.txt.
I've posed my complete and thoroughly document code below. I hope it is very helpful to other as I have searched many forums and spent many hours today trying to resolve this problem.
Enjoy
* File Name: WildcardSearch.java
* Date: Jan 9, 2004
* This class will search all files in a directory using the
* asterisk (*) and/or question mark (?) as wildcards which may be
* used together in the same file name. A File [] is returned containing
* an array of all files found that match the wildcard specifications.
* Command line example:
* c:\>java WildcardSearch c:\windows s??t*.ini
* New sWild: s.{1}.{1}t.*.ini
* system.ini
* Command line break down: Java Program = java WildcardSearch
*                          Search Directory (arg[0]) = C:\Windows
*                          Files To Search (arg[1]) = s??t*.ini
* Note: Some commands will not work from the command line for arg[1]
*        such as *.*, however, this will work if you if it is passed
*        within Java (hard coded)

How to search for password policy

Hello,
Using DS 5.2:
I've created a test policy, dn: cn=Test Policy,ou=People, o=xxx, o=isp. I can apply the policy, I can see the policy in my backup ldifs, but I can't figure out how to search for and display it (and eventually, delete it) either from the command line using ldapsearch or form within the admin gui. Any help?

What I would like to do is query my 8i instance for the current password policy
Can anyone provide a query to retrieve this info?connect as sys
in Oracle 8i and issue the command;
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%PASS%';
and
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%POLICY%';
I think , i'm not sure these policies would be transfered to 10g through migration except -if any- some of them are obsolete to 10g!!!!!
Regards,
Simon

How to search for upper/lower case using string using JAVA!!!?

-I am trying to write a program that will examine each letter in the string and count how many time the upper-case letter 'E' appears, and how many times the lower-case letter 'e' appears.
-I also have to use a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() to tell the user how many upper and lower case e's were in the string.
-This will be repeated until the user types the word "Stop".
please help if you can
what i have so far:
[code]
public class Project0 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] uppercase = {'E'};
String[] lowercase = {'e'};
String isOrIsNot, inputWord;
while (true) {
   // This line asks the user for input by popping out a single window
   // with text input
   inputWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a sentence");
   if ( inputWord.equals("stop") )
    System.exit(0);
   // if the inputWord is contained within uppercase or
   // lowercase return true
   if (wordIsThere(inputWord, lowercase))
    isOrIsNot = "Number of lower case e's: ";
   if (wordIsThere(inputword, uppercase))
     isOrIsNot = "number of upper case e's: ";
   // Output to a JOptionPane window whether the word is on the list or not
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The word " + inputWord + " " + isOrIsNot + " on the list.");
} //main
public static boolean wordIsThere(String findMe, String[] theList) {
for (int i=0; i<theList.length; ++i) {
   if (findMe.equals(theList[i])) return true;
return false;
} // wordIsThere
} // class Lab4Program1
[/code]

So what is your question? Do you get any errors? If so, post them. What doesn't work?

In a very long Document such as SO or PO how to search for say an ITEM?

Hi Forum,
Sometimes documents such as quotations, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders could be very long over say over 300 items.
How can we search for something within that document while staying in the document - For example specific item in the document, or specific any field in the document.
I thought the column title should have had FILTER option at least. I don't seem to find one. Is there any other way of searching for something within a large document?
Thank you.

Hi,
There is no built-in function for this. You have few options:
1. By Drag & Relate. This may not work well.
2. By query report. Using query is the fastest and reliable way to reach your goal.
Thanks,
Gordon
