How to search for a pattern string in entire registry and delete all the keys and subkeys that contain the pattern (C# or VB)?

I want to search for a pattern string in the entire registry and need to delete all the keys and sub-keys that contain the pattern. How can I implement this in VB Script or C#? Appreciate if you can give some sample examples. Now every time, I am manually
searching for the pattern in registry and deleting one by one.
Thanks Prasad

There is no built in way to do this. You'll end up having to enumerate all keys and values in the entire registry and comparing each one for a pattern using Regex or similar. This is going to be really slow but there isn't much else you can do about
it (other than parallelize the enumeration). Also note that you won't have permissions to all keys for read and/or write access so you'll need to skip over those using exception handling.

How to search for subset of string

Hi,
I'm trying to implement Oracle text in 8i and 9i to search for a given string or a subset of string.
For example, if the given string="Database Technology", I would like intermedia to first search for the exact string - "Database Technology",
if not found, then search for either "Database" or "Technology".
I'm only able to search for the exact string ("Database Technology") so far by using the contain clause. I'm not able to get Oracle Text to return me any records that also contains "Database" or "Technology" if the exact match "Database Technology" cannot be located.
Any help is very much appreciated.
thanks.

You need to use the ACCUM operator. It raises the score based on the the frequencies of more than one word. Here are the contents of my TEXT1 test table:
TEXT
database
server
database server
database blah blah database
database blah blah server
select score(1), text1.* from text1 where contains(text,'database ACCUM server ACCUM database server',1) > 0 order by score(1) desc;
and here are the results:
SCORE(1) TEXT
68 database server
34 database blah blah server
2 database blah blah database
1 server
1 database
You may want to put a multiplier on the "database server" phrase's score to increase the score on when the complete phrase is found. That looks like this, for example:
select score(1), text1.text from text1 where contains(text,'database ACCUM server ACCUM database server*3',1) > 0 order by score(1) desc

Hi all,
I would like to search a word and its corresponding page number in my PDF document. The word may be occur in many of the pages and i have to collect all the page numbers and need to create bookmark for all of them.
Eg: The word "Chennai" can be found in the pages 5, 6, 7 and10. Then I need to create bookmarks Chennai1 - Page 5, Chennai2 - Page 6 and so on...
I have tried this with Acrobat 7.0 professional and it was working fine. But in 6.0 Professional i am not able to collect all the pages. Below I have given the code that i have used.
Dim objFind As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc
Set objFind = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Do While objFind.FindText("MyText", 0, 1, False)
                Dim objPageView As Acrobat.CAcroAVPageView
                Set objPageView = objFind.GetAVPageView
                strPageNo = objPageView.GetPageNum + 1
                If strPageNo = strPrevPageNo Then
                    intIncremental = intIncremental + 1
                Else
                    intIncremental = 0
                End If

                    Exit Do
                End If
                If Val(strPageNo) < Val(strPrevPageNo) Then
                    Exit Do
                End If

How to search and replace a string in Excel Shape (textbox) using Powershell.

I have been asked to write a PS script to search/replace a string when found in Excel Shapes when they are textboxes. I have seen lots of simplistic PS scripts and even I can do a "foreach" loop through all the Shapes on a Sheet and display the
Name of each Shape. But I have not found a property or method to expose the actual text in a textbox let alone change it.
I have seen vba script that does this as:
Set xWs = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(I)
For Each shp In xWs.Shapes
xValue = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text
shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = VBA.Replace(xValue, xFindStr, xReplace, 1)
Next
In Powershell, shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text is ignored and returns nothing. It would be nice to know if this is possible in PS and if so, know how to do it and/or get an example to work from. I would have thought that
PS and VB would use the same Excel object model but apparently they do not.
I am using Excel 14.0 and PS 3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Michael

This didn't work for me. I have the shape object and it shows the textframe property:
PS C:\> $shape | gm
TypeName: System.__ComObject#{00024439-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
Name MemberType Definition
Apply Method void Apply ()
CanvasCropBottom Method void CanvasCropBottom (float)
SoftEdge Property SoftEdgeFormat SoftEdge () {get}
TextEffect Property TextEffectFormat TextEffect () {get}
TextFrame Property TextFrame TextFrame () {get}
TextFrame2 Property TextFrame2 TextFrame2 () {get}
ThreeD Property ThreeDFormat ThreeD () {get}
But trying to access it gives an error:
PS C:\> $shape.textframe | gm
gm : You must specify an object for the Get-Member cmdlet.
At line:1 char:20
+ $shape.textframe | gm
+ ~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Get-Member], InvalidOperationException

How to search for a specific String within an ArrayList

I am creating an inherited class, CD, that has a field of "tracks". I am wondering how you would search through the ArrayList and list the track number that correlates with a search term. For instance, if I have a track called "Radar Love" and it is track number 2, how would I create the search function to find out what track number "Radar Love" is?

trojansc82 wrote:
int index = 0;
boolean found = false;
while(index < tracks.size() && !found){
String track = tracks.get(index);
if(track.contains(searchString)){
found =true;
else{
index++;
return index;It's still the same code. I attempted putting in a return statement with tracks.get(index), but it didn't work.Edited by: Edward_Kimber on Nov 15, 2008 2:57 PM

How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

How to search for words in binaries (jpg,bmp,tif,...) ??

Hello,
is it possible to index words from images with tenable effort ?
We are developing a document-management-system and it would be nice
when search includes images.
I would appreciate very much any suggestions, links or solutions.
regards,
Tim

>
Do you mean words in images in the sense of an image
comment (which is not visible when the image is
displayed, but some image editors can detect and
expose as an image property), or as text displayed as
part of the image, like this:
http://developer.java.sun.com/images/v4_java_sun_com.gi
If the latter, forget it.Hello,
first thanks for answers, I was looking for a possibility to search for text in images in order to save it in a database.
So its the latter :(
I thought it could be possible to use any scanner-drivers for this purpose:

But I'm not sure how to achieve this.

How to search for words in documents in Lion

Here's why I'm trying to ask.
Lately I have downloaded a lot of files from Google Drive, and I'm trying to sort a lot of documents (262 exactly) by finding a set of numbers and letters that only one kind of document has.
For example, I'm trying to find the documents that have "5R-ET1" to see which documents has those set of letters inside the documents to sort them in a diffrent folder.
Is there something in the Finder that can allow me to do this, or is there like this program which compares documents that fits my use?
By the way, most of the files are in .doc format, the rest are in .pages format.
Hope there is a way to fix this situation!

Open to correction here but I don't think Spotlight will do this for you, particulary if these are long documents. Spotlight does not index then entire document, just the first 2k approx unique terms within a document. If the string you're looking for isn't within that limit then it won't work.
Options:
1. You could import the documents to an app like DevonThink Pro or Circus Ponies Notebook that have a concordance feature.
2. You could convert the files to Text and search them with BBEdit or the grep command.

How to search for a matching string

<cfcatch>
<CFMAIL to="[email protected]" From="[email protected]"
Subject="Error message" Type="HTML">
#cfcatch.message#
</CFMAIL>
</cfcatch>
I need to create a condition based on the string in the
message, if #cfcatch.message# is "The element at position 12 of
dimension 3 can not be found" I need to deliver certain message
through email BUT if #cfcatch.message# is matching other
sentence I need to deliver a different message.
I used the following condition (see below) but it somehow did
not work, even when I know for sure the error message is saying the
right think, for example, "The element at position 12...etc"
Is there a way to do this differently or have I done it wrong
somewhere?
<cfif #cfcatch.message# EQ "The element at position 12 of
dimension 3 can not be found">
Deliver message 1
cfelse>
Deliver message 2
</cfif>

Why not catch a specific error type?
<cftry>
<cfthrow type="foo.bar.custom" message="anything you want
to say!">
<cfcatch type="foo.bar.custom">
Do something special here!
</cfcatch>
<cfcatch type="Any">
An Unknown error has occured!
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
If you're not sure of the error that is being thrown, dump
the cfcatch and grab the first part of the stack trace and then
recode using that error type in your cfcatch block.
Here's an example of catching an invalid file format upload
with cffile.
<cftry>
<cffile action="upload" destination="#pathInfo#"
fileField="imagefile" nameconflict="makeunique" accept="image/jpg,
image/jpeg, image/png, image/eps, image/tif, image/gif,
application/pdf" >
<cfcatch
type="coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag$InvalidUploadTypeException">
Invalid File Type
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
