How to search for NOT something?

I want to make a copy of every sub-folder on a particular drive EXCEPT those which include a specific word ("[ToNY]") in the title -
should I use the finder or spotlight?
how do I tell either one of them to give me a list of every sub-folder that does NOT include the keyword ("[ToNY]") -
thanks!

Hi, R C-R
You wrote: "From this, I suspected the problem is that a raw 'match' search on the root level only searches at that level but does not continue into any subfolders it contains.I had suspected that too at one point, but look at the results from your previous attempt, where you wrote:"In another test, I used "Library" as the search word (kMDItemFSName == "Library"w). In this case, searching at the root level returned /Library, /System/Library, & ~/Library for each user account, as it should."Obviously, /System/Library and ~/Library are in subfolders of the root level.
In your test, did you omit "Kind: Folders"? In running the following test with Find:
Search location: Macintosh HD
Kind: Folders
Raw Query: kMDItemFSName == "Library"w
I receive different results:
- /System/Library is not returned — as it should not be — since it's a system folder.
- What appears to be the Home > Library folder of other accounts on the Mac show up as hits for "Library" but without icons. This is interesting since they should not appear in search results since I don't have permission to access those folders. Using the Get Info contextual menu choice on these does not show the path.
If I omit "Kind: Folders" from that search, i.e.
Search location: Macintosh HD
Raw Query: kMDItemFSName == "Library"w
then /System/Library is returned in the search results, as expected, since the Raw Query is searching what is known as file system metadata, which is actually a search of the disk's directory, not the Spotlight metadata store. If you use Find where the only search criterion is a Raw Query against a kMDItemFS* attribute, i.e. a file system metadata attribute, the search is performed against the disk's directory: the Spotlight metadata store does not replicate data saved in the disk's directory.
If you combine a Raw Query against a file system metadata attribute with one of the Spotlight criteria, e.g. "Kind: Folders", then the results are the intersection of the sets of results from "Kind: Folders" (performed against the metadata store, which excludes System folders by default) and the Raw Query (performed against the disk's directory).
In my test where Find returned no hits at the root level, I was searching my PM G5's second internal hard drive for:
Search location: my PM G5's second internal hard drive
Kind: Folders
Raw Query: kMDItemFSName == "Buick"w
There are two folders that match should match this search:
1965 Buick Riviera
1997 Buick Riviera
These folders are several levels down from the root level in the folder hierarchy. I'm Owner with Access of "Read & Write" on both.
A Find at the root level, as above, does not find them: in fact, it returns no hits. If I change the search location to the folder that contains both these subfolders, they're found.
I get the same anomalous results using mdfind:
[PMG5:~] doc% mdfind -onlyin /Volumes/Our\ Work/ "(kMDItemFSName == 'Buick'w) && (kMDItemContentTypeTree == 'public.folder')"
[PMG5:~] doc%
The search returns to the Terminal prompt without output, meaning no hits. However:
[PMG5:~] doc% mdfind -onlyin /Volumes/Our\ Work/Doc\'s\ Files "(kMDItemFSName == 'Buick'w) && (kMDItemContentTypeTree == 'public.folder')"
/Volumes/Our Work/Doc's Files/Images/1965 Buick Riviera
/Volumes/Our Work/Doc's Files/Documents/1997 Buick Riviera
finds the two folders.
Bottom line, there's a Spotlight bug here. I rebuilt the Spotlight metadata stores as well to rule out problems there. Just another of the many anomalies I've found in testing Spotlight: I've documented a slew of additional anomalies in the "Spotlight" chapter and related appendices of my book.
Good luck!

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!!!!!

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

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.

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.
