How to search for a text node with a particular value in an xml document with labview

supposing i have the following xml document:
<head>
<book>
<bookname>zio</bookname>
<author>dan</author>
</book>
<book>
<bookname>the spear warrior</bookname>
<author>britney</author>
</book>
<book>
<bookname>the beard</bookname>
<author>derrick</author>
</book>
</head>
i want to search for the author of the book "the beard" using for example the V.I Get first match of labview to access the the node with value "the beard" and then use Get next sibling V.I and Get node text content to get get the author of this book..so my question is how do i write the xpath expression for Get first match so as to access the node with bookname "the beard" instantyly? am trying to minimise the use of loops because they increase the time duration,..thank you (NB:i dont want to use Get all Matched V.I because it obliges me to use a loop in order to access the name derrick and this increases the time duration for my v.i)

Since it's all text, why not use a real quick Match Pattern (or Regular Expression, but you don't need that much power here), see attached.

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 text in a word document and replace it

Hey Chen,
Well before i do the search and edit , I am actually opening a .mts file in word which is happening successfully.
The issue that i am facing now is I am unable to save it as .doc file through the 'SaveAs' method.
Here is my code. Can u please tell me what i need to do in order to correct this.
After i do this conversion i intend to pass the data from the .doc file to an internal table and then do the required change.
But First i need to save it to .doc type.
REPORT MAIN_PROGRAM_2.

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

How to search for a BADI in a transaction

Hi All,
Please let me know the steps to find a BADI for a transaction.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

check this.
u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
/people/alwin.vandeput2/blog/2006/04/13/how-to-search-for-badis-trace-it
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

Well, thank you. I am only using Find dialog box. By "name", I'd like to give an example. The background is FM 11 structured. I have an element "xref" which is used to make cross reference. Now In Chapter 1, there is a sentence like "This is an ODU for ...". I made a cross ref of the word "ODU" to its full name "outdoor unit" in Chapter 2 (in the same book). After this, the word "ODU" in the sentence in Chapter 1 will no longer be a plain text. So I no longer can use the find dialog box to search for "ODU" because it is already an xref rather than text. I am not if it's clear.

Crystal Report Viewer Closes the application after showing "The text cannot be found in the report" when searching for a text in a multipage report

Post Author: Farooque
CA Forum: Other
Hi,
I am using Crystal report viewer (Crviewer.dll) version 11.0.0.1282 to show crystal reports in my VB6 application. When we search for any text in a multipage report after the last find system shows a message "Crystal Report Viewer" "Text cannot be found in the report" and trows an unhandled error and closes the application. How can I fix this?
Please help
Thanks in advance.

Enter the following:

into the search box in the top right corner. You should get a number of hits (Kbases and articles) that should point you to a solution.

AMs and PMs - how to search for small-caps?

In my book I'm proofreading I have a mixture of (because I was undecided when I was putting it together):
i 7.00 a.m.
i 7.00 am
i 7.00am
I ran these three options past about twenty people this morning, 6 voted for the first, 8 voted for the second, 3 voted for the third, and 1 person and myself voted for the option I can't show properly here: small-caps: 7.00 AM. Then of course there was the wag who told me: "Why don't you just say '7 o'clock in the morning' "? And the complete ratbag who suggested, in the interests of avoiding confusion: "7.00 am o'clock in the morning before lunch at 0700 hours."
Before I make them all the same format, which will very likely be small-caps, I want to make sure I can easily search for them so I can replace with an alternative style if I change my mind again later on.
QUES: How do I search for "AM" and "PM" (spaces before and after) if they are formatted in small-caps? I can't use paragraph styles because the AMs and PMs appear in a variety of styles already.

Thanks for all the hints. I'm going to try some of them to see how they work. I should make it clear though (my original post may have been unclear about this) that I was asking how to search for AM in small caps AFTER I had changed all time-formats to that form.
As for why I asked for input: I treat my book a bit like a democracy and give people a chance to vote on certain aspects and make comments just in case they have a good idea that I hadn't thought of; but yes, I'm the boss, and in terms of votes mine counts for 95%. In this case, someone suggested using a colon -- which I have taken on board. So I will be using the time format 7:30 AM to see how it looks. But if I don't like it, I want to be able to find all the small-cap AMs and change them to something else in one go.
My interest in time-formats has stirred some interest locally. My partner proof reads a walking club magazine and she received the latest edition lat night. She has never concerned about time formats before, but after my foray into different options, she came up with the following variety (the club has lots of reports that include times when walking trips start and end), even though she thought she had done a thorough job of proof reading:
9 am
9.00am
9:00 am
9:00am
9.am
9 AM
9.00a.m.
9.00 a.m.

Please answer. how to search for files

Hi,
We need an integration with SAP. They send us files in the format: yyyymmddhhmiss.atv
For example we receive following files:
20050503101115.atv
20050504101115.atv
20050505101115.atv
So, we dont know how to search for all files with extensions ".atv" in the directory.
We are using PLSQL. Is there some way to resolve with UTL_FILE?
Any other suggestion?

A possibility:
In sqlplus, issue a HOST command to list the files to a file:
ls *.atv > atv_dir.txt
Then use utl_file to read atv_dir.txt and parse it for the file names.
You could put the filenames in a pl/sql table and use that as loop control.

I read that an older version of Pages allowed users to enter special characters in the search/replace fields, but this did not work for me.
Here: http://www.macworld.com/article/1156533/pagesspecialcharacters.html
I still am looking for a way to do this.

Search for any text in column filter on adf table

Hi,
I have column filter on adf table where I can search for any text starting with by default.
For e.g. you have data my name is sam you can search on table column filter by my and you get the results my name is sam
but I want to search by any word let's say sam and I want to display same result.
Thank you,

You probably can use wildcards (% and _ )
for example %my%

Searching for exact text

Hi - I've a problem when looking for exact text, eg:
SetStatusBarMessage AND "C#"
This matches any words beginning with C - how can I specifically look for the phrase C# ??

No. There is nobody here who works for Apple, the forum us strictly user-to-user.
I wouldn't say it's "strictly user-to-user". As terms & conditions states:
Apple involvement. Apple does not formally provide technical support on the Site. However, any information that is provided by Apple or Apple employees is offered on an "AS IS" basis without warranties of any kind.
Thanks for the suggestion. Although, the problem is not really to get rid of the message (as you can dismiss it quite easily) but to understand why it appears there in the first place. Is it a malware? is it a bug?
So thanks for that. Although as you mentioned, it wasn't very enlightening.
(The 2000 views were probably a couple of years ago. Look at the dates on the posts.)
I did. Half the people who posted had this issue in 2011, and the other half (including me) posted in the last couple of months. So it might be a recurring thing.
I have no idea when 2000 users googled "Tap Continue and sign in to purchase a gift" and viewed this post. Could have been 2 years ago or in the last couple of months.
