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 words in a string?

How to search for words in documents in Lion

Here's why I'm trying to ask.
Lately I have downloaded a lot of files from Google Drive, and I'm trying to sort a lot of documents (262 exactly) by finding a set of numbers and letters that only one kind of document has.
For example, I'm trying to find the documents that have "5R-ET1" to see which documents has those set of letters inside the documents to sort them in a diffrent folder.
Is there something in the Finder that can allow me to do this, or is there like this program which compares documents that fits my use?
By the way, most of the files are in .doc format, the rest are in .pages format.
Hope there is a way to fix this situation!

Open to correction here but I don't think Spotlight will do this for you, particulary if these are long documents. Spotlight does not index then entire document, just the first 2k approx unique terms within a document. If the string you're looking for isn't within that limit then it won't work.
Options:
1. You could import the documents to an app like DevonThink Pro or Circus Ponies Notebook that have a concordance feature.
2. You could convert the files to Text and search them with BBEdit or the grep command.

How to search for a word in a text editor

Hi,
I have created a custom container and added some text to it. Is there any method to search for words in this?

Lilan,
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.
Pls. Mark

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.

Need to search for words with similar meaning

HI,
I want to search for words which are similar in meaning,
for example, search with the keyword LIME should give LIME , LEMON etc.
Can it be done using the inbuilt thesaurus?

I don't know how similar the example that you provided is to your actual problem. Synonyms are not the only relations that you can set. You an also use related terms and hierarchies using broader and narrower terms. In the following example, I have created citrus as a broader term and created lemon, lime, and orange as narrower terms underneath citrus. I have them demonstrated how you can query to return all items from the same category that lemon is in, by first finding the broader term citrus above it, then searching for all narrower terms underneath that. I have included some intermediary results that you don't need to run, just for better understanding of how the query is formed.

Search for word/phrase by ctrl+shift+F

ctrl+shift+F
One can enter here the file/folder path the search for word/phrase should be made.
But length of this control element is really limited.
If the chosen path is very long, with lot of folder levels, longer than the control element is capable to show it,
the path string is truncated. Truncation in its middle part.
Nobody is able to see how exactly the path is, after it has been shortened.
And now, please imagine that there are several similar paths on the disc.
They differ by theirs middle section only.
Now assume the search needs 3 hours.
1. After 3 hours of search run user can't say which folder of all similar folders he has chosen for last search operation.
After search completes user is no able to check, which path the search ran in.
2. If new search in some other folder but in a folder located close to the previous one is aimed the user
has to follow the whole path from the disc root - job intensive task.
Adobe Reader should use the previous search path as start point of new search path selection.
The full-feature product Adobe Acrobat probably also affected.

Hi vmartin01,
I tried to check at my end and it works fine at my end.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.
