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?

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 specific element in a MultiGraph?

    Hi there
    Im trying to implement a Multigraph ADT in Java. Multigraph is a graph that has multible edges connecting a node. I assume you all know what a Graph ADT looks like.
    So i think ive got all the basic methods functions of a normal graph/mulitgraph and now i want to search for a element in it
    The question is how will i so that?
    Do i use a breadth first search?
    But i thought a BFS traverses all the elements in a graph? And how can i use a BFS to search for a specific element in a graph?
    Thanks

    Hey there
    thanks for your reply but i still some query.
    I thought of doing that but i want to remember the nodes i revisted to get to the target (not all - but the quickest route to that node)
    My design so far is:
    have 3 Interface namely Graph, Node & Edge.
    Classes will inherit those interface to provide the actual implementation as i want the details/coding to be abstract meaning i can give many different way of implementations.
    The graph class will add nodes & edges where when adding edges, edge will store 2 nodes in it respectively source & destination nodes.
    Both Node & Edges will be stored in graph using some data structures atm (arrayList i presume)
    My Design is that i want to (my aim of the task of searching) search for a node in the multigraph by inputting (maybe 2 nodes) into method - start node target node! The method should return a list of nodes to get to the target node.+
    So so far i have this wee algorithm in mind:
    +1. Input start + target node as parameters+
    +2. Use BFS to search the graph+
    +3. When reached target node - halt+
    +4. return the list of nodes that visited to get there (but not all - only the precise & fastest)+
    So will that work?
    If so how do i go about doing implementation?
    Thanks

  • 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

  • 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 :(

  • Is there a way to search for a specific keyword within the sites to which the bookmarks are linked? I need to search all linked sites in the bookmark folder without having to open each page and "find" manually.

    Currently, I must browse through 50 or so bookmarked pages to see if a specific topic is covered. I would like to be able to search all bookmarked pages at once for a specific keyword. For example, if I have 50 news sites bookmarked and I would like to see which pages have the word "tuna" in them, I would need to open each page individually and do a "find". If I could search all of those pages at once, then I would save an immense amount of time. I have looked on the add-ons and found nothing...

    1. Create a smart album and in the drop down in the top right corner select file status
    2. Check mark the file status box and select 'Offline'
    Now you should have all your 'Offline' (Yellow Exclamation and/or Red Slash) files.
    To reconnect..
    1. Select the missing files.
    2. Go to File and scroll to Manage Referenced Files
    The dialog box will have one of the photos selected
    3. Select the drive and folder that contains the referenced file and select it
    4. Click 'Reconnect All'
    This might not reconnect all of them, but the dialog box will still be open and you can reconnect the ones left.

  • How to search for a particular element within a XML variable using studio?

    All,
    I am using studio 7.0 to develop a webbased application. In this, i need to access
    an oracle db using a WLAI Application View from my Workflow. I get some data back
    from Oracle as an XML variable and then apply an XPath statement to access the
    individual columns returned.
    My problem arises when there are no records in the db matching my criteria and
    an empty XML variable is returned to me from the app view. In these cases my
    XPath statement fails in studio causing an improper exit.
    Does anybody know how to check for content in a XML varaible using studio? So
    that if there is content i can proceed with XPath and if there is no content,
    then i will take a different route.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sri

    If I remember correctly, the adapter will return an XML document that contains
    XML elements for each row. You can just simply check the count of these elements
    with an XPath statement: ie. count(response/row)

  • Search for a specific string in web.config file

    Hi
    Is there a way we can search a specific word in web.config using powershell.
    I have an entry of "user name" in the connection string. I want to find what the user name is and whether its a correct user name or not based on the criteria set in the script.
    i believe its a simple matter of if statement but due to connection string i am unable to do this.
    this is my connection string from web.config
        <connectionStrings>
        <add name="Membership" connectionString="Data Source=testdb;Initial Catalog=test;user   
        name=testUser;password=123456;MultipleActiveResultSets=true" 
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
        </connectionStrings>
    My criteria is. if user name -eq testUser write-host "correct user name" else "user name is incorrect"
    This is the script which i am using
        $webConfig = 'C:\Users\test\web.config'
        $cfg = [xml](gc $webConfig)
    Not sure how the if statement will work in searching the document and applying critera

    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

    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

  • How do I search for songs and artists within playlists?

    In the Itunes music app on the Ipod touch there are several views (Songs, Playlists, Genius, Artists, etc.) In song view if you swipe down it reveals the search bar. However when you go to Playlist view and choose a specific playlist there is no search bar or option anywhere to search for a specific song, artist, genre etc.
    So how the heck do we search within playlists, where is the search bar or where is the option to search in a specific playlist?

    Is there any way to search for the text string exactly as I enter it? Like 'exact search' in the OSS notes?
    For example, I'm trying to find the forum posts regarding the Excel 2007 file format XLSX. By XLSX the search finds hundreds of entries, but most of them are not even close. For example, this was one of the top results: /thread/1078918 [original link is broken]
    Why is it getting picked up when 'xlsx' doesn't even appear there? We are frequently complaining about the users who don't use search before posting, but, frankly, if it works like this, I can't blame them...

    I regularly use this to (re)find threads where I remembered a specific comment or even spelling mistake.
    Perhaps a better option in your case would be to use an AND between individual terms.
    I generally tend to edit the search string parameters directly, as it seems to cache previous results and do a search within a search. That might be an option for you as well though.
