How to search for "Kind not equal to Folder"

I'm trying to set up a Smart Folder with criteria:
- Last Modifed within last 2 weeks AND
- Kind is not Folder
How do you set up Finder search criteria for Kind "doesn't equal" something? All I can find is Kind = All or one thing in particular?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You'll have to use the Raw Query in order to have boolean operators, such as "is not" or "or" and so on. So do your Command-F, choose Last Modified, then for second criterion select "Other" from the drop down menu and scroll to Raw Query and select it. In the Raw Query field copy and paste this:
kMDItemKind != "Folder"
That should do it. The booleans are:
== equal
!= not equal
< less than
<div class="jive-quote"> greater than
<= less than or equal to
<div class="jive-quote">= greater than or equal to

  • How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

    Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
    If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
    Platform: Windows 8 PC
    Version: Acrobat 8
    If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
    Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
    Thanks,

    Out the gate you've a problem.
    The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
    "End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
    The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
    The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
    Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
    With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
    Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
    May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
    The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
    The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
    Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
    Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
    Be well...

    -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.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Alexandre
    Do you want to see which database fields you have inserted in Crystal Reports and in which section you have inserted what fields?
    If yes then
    -open formula editor
    -In the right side pane expand Formatting Formulas.
    -Expand all the sections one by one and it will show you database fields,formulas and all the objects used in the sections.
    Hope this will clarify your doubts.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!!!

  • Search for a not numerical character

    Hello,
    is it possible to search for a not numerical character in a string?
    E.g. # 1237538, the characters '#', ' ' and '' should be deleted.
    The answer to this problem should be as fast as possible, because I have very many numbers to edit.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    <u><b>Finding Character Strings</b></u>
    To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
    SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
    The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
    The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
    <str> - Function
    <pattern> - Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
    .<pattern>. - Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
    *<pattern> - A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
    <pattern>* - Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
    Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
    <option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
      ABBREVIATED
    Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
      STARTING AT <n1>
    Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
      ENDING AT <n2>
    Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
      AND MARK
    If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
    Ex.
    DATA STRING(30) VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
    WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
    ULINE /1(26).
    SEARCH STRING FOR 'X'.
    WRITE: / 'X', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
    SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'
    SEARCH STRING FOR 'itt '.
    WRITE: / 'itt ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
    SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
    SEARCH STRING FOR '.e .'.
    WRITE: / '.e .', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
    SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
    SEARCH STRING FOR '*e'.
    WRITE: / '*e ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
    SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
    SEARCH STRING FOR 's*'.
    WRITE: / 's* ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
    SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
