How to Search for text in a word document and replace it

Hey All ,
I am able to open up a word document present locally using OLE2 Automation. Now i need to search for a text in that document
and replace it with another text. How do i achieve this?
And another issue is when i search for the particular pattern i need to store the pattern that comes after the pattern as i need it for further use before i replace it.
Thanks And Warm Regards,
Nischal

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.
INCLUDE OLE2INCL.
*Declaration Of OLE2_Object Variables.
DATA: WORD            TYPE OLE2_OBJECT,
      DOCUMENTS       TYPE OLE2_OBJECT,
      ACT_DOCUMENTS   TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.
*Declaration of variables
PARAMETERS PATH       TYPE string.
DATA:Relative_Path    TYPE string,
     Relative_Path_Save    TYPE string.
*Declaration of an internal table
CONCATENATE PATH '\Script.mts' INTO RELATIVE_PATH.
*Object Creation in order for us to open word
CREATE OBJECT WORD 'WORD.APPLICATION'.
PERFORM ERROR_HANDLE.
*Set visibility property of MS word.
SET property of WORD 'VISIBLE' = 1.
*Open A document
CALL METHOD OF WORD 'Documents' = DOCUMENTS.
PERFORM ERROR_HANDLE.
*CALL METHOD OF DOCUMENTS 'ADD' = ACT_DOCUMENTS.
CALL METHOD OF DOCUMENTS 'OPEN' EXPORTING #1 = RELATIVE_PATH.
PERFORM ERROR_HANDLE.
*GET PROPERTY OF WORD 'ActiveDocument' = ACT_DOCUMENTS.
*PERFORM ERROR_HANDLE.
**To save the script.mts to script .doc file in order to put it into an internal table
CONCATENATE PATH '\Script.doc' INTO RELATIVE_PATH_SAVE.
CALL METHOD OF WORD 'SaveAs' EXPORTING #1 = RELATIVE_PATH_SAVE.
PERFORM ERROR_HANDLE.
FREE OBJECT WORD.
The Save part of the code is giving me an OLE error = 2
Thanks And Kind Regards,
Nischal

Help! I've deleted most text in a Word document and pressed save!

Help! I've deleted most text in a Word document accidentally and pressed save - thus losing most of the last week's work! Is there likely to be a temp file anywhere from yesterday so that I can retrieve it?

I don't know which Mac you have, but if you have an intel, update to 10.7 and you can use the function called Versions, which autmatically saves a version of your text, and you can revert to it when needed.

Search for a string in word document using VBA

Hi,
I am new to VBA. My requirement is that VBA code should find the path in the word document., some of the paths are present in the word document.
search criteria should start with \\\\ and end with .doc. Could anyone please help me out on how to provide the search criteria and is there any predefined methods present.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,.

Apologies, the line
Do While .Execute(FindText:=.Text = "\\\\*.doc", MatchWildCards:=True)
should read
Do While .Execute(FindText:="\\\\*.doc", MatchWildCards:=True)
It will however only work for the document body. If the string is in a different story range you will have to loop through those story ranges e.g.
Sub FindIt()
Dim wdApp As Object
Dim wdDoc As Object
Dim oRng As Object
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
    On Error Resume Next
    Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    If Err Then
        Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        bStarted = True
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open("C:\Path\DocumentName.docx")
    i = 1
    For Each oRng In wdDoc.StoryRanges
        With oRng.Find
            .MatchWildcards = True
            Do While .Execute(FindText:="\\\\*.doc")
                Range("A" & i) = oRng.Text
                oRng.Collapse 0
                i = i + 1
            Loop
        End With
        If oRng.StoryType <> wdMainTextStory Then
            While Not (oRng.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
                Set oRng = oRng.NextStoryRange
                With oRng.Find
                    .MatchWildcards = True
                    Do While .Execute(FindText:="\\\\*.doc")
                        Range("A" & i) = oRng.Text
                        oRng.Collapse 0
                        i = i + 1
                    Loop
                End With
            Wend
        End If
    Next oRng
    wdDoc.Close 0
    If bStarted Then wdApp.Quit
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    Set wdApp = Nothing
End Sub

How to search for text in document

How do you search text within a document on the Samsung Galaxy 10.1? I click the search icon, enter the text to search and nothing happens. The only options I see are a circled "x" and "Cancel". The program does not automatically go to the entered search string and I cannot find anyway to cause the program to find the words. Thanks,

Once you have typed your search term in, you need to tap the "enter" key on the keyboard. Once you do, the keyboard should close, and you should see the first instance selected.
There will be two Arrow buttons in the bottom center of the screen to go back and forth through all of the instances of this word in the document.
If the word could not be found, then a message displaying "search term" not found will appear at the bottom of the screen above those buttons.

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.

Tim

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 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;
