How to search text content of csv file

I am, unfortunately, new to Macs and Mac OS X. Please forgive my rudimentary terminology. I use .csv files in my work, and I need to be able to search through a directory of them for all that contain a particular bit of text. I have tried using the search box in Finder, and limiting my search to the particular folder containing the .csv files of interest. I also have limited the search by selecting the options next to the search folder, and selecting the search criterion of "Contents" and typing the term I am seeking in the "contains" box. This has not given me any results. Is there another way to find what I am seeking?

Hi Alfredo,
Thanks for reply..Will you please explain in brief what are the OCR program and workflow.
Will you please send me any docs on [email protected]
Thanks

How to search the content of TPL files?

Hi. I have a folder with hundreds of template "tpl" files that I'm needing to search the file contents of but using the regular search of that folder is unable to search the content of the tpl files, is it possible to do so?
Thanks!,
Wesley

I assume there's not a "scan all files" with Spotlight?
I don't think that would be possible in the specific case of content searches. Here's my understanding:
EasyFind searches the files themselves when it looks for content, which makes it slow but very flexible.
In contrast, Spotlight searches a pre-existing index when it looks for things - it can be instructed to search the index in various ways, but if the desired information is not in the index in the first place, it won't be found. Indexing the content of every file in the system is not feasible, so only the contents of certain file types get indexed. I found the following in [this Wikipedia article|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_%28software%29]:
Aside from basic information about each file like its name, size and timestamps, the mdimport daemon can also index the content of some files, when it has an Importer plug-in that tells it how the file content is formatted. Spotlight comes with importers for certain types of files, such as Microsoft Word, MP3, and PDF documents. Apple publishes APIs that allow developers to write Spotlight Importer plug-ins for their own file formats.[3]
So unless you'd care to write your own Spotlight Importer plug-in for tpl files, I think you are out of luck!

How to search the contents of emlx files in 10.7 Lion ?

Hi,
Since Apple Mail in 10.7 leaved some messages in a Mail Lost+Found folder it would be nice to find out which of those messages might also exist in the active mailboxes and since Apple Mail cannot import these Lost & Found mails (unless manually opened and sorted in Mail), it would be handy to do a quick search for text in these messages. Why does no Search options ever works when needed in Mac OS X ? EasyFind could not find anything either. Reindexing did not help. Raw content serach in the Finder does not help. Why cannot the Mac system be a little helpful when it comes to searching?

Yes, your conclusion seems logical, indeed, but I am copying text from an opened emlx file and even if I put it on my desktop and do a Finder search; a Spotlight search or a search via EasyFind, none of them actually find the file ... . Which may lead to the conclusion that I am doing something wrong, but I do not really think so ... .
I now even created a new folder on the desktop and dragged the emlx message from which I choose a word and try to search it with EasyFind with no success, but I eventually managed to find it through Spotlight now, but Spotlight does not find the file in the Mail Lost+Found folder. Which makes clear this is related to permissions of the files in my own home folder that Lion has given them. And, yes, the solution is that the folder where the emlx file is stored within the Mail Lost+Found folder has no read permissions for anyone but the owner.
Problem solved. Have to verify this on other computers (but the permissions were not handled correctly somewhere back through history or when converting the messages from 10.6.8 ...).

How to extract text from a PDF file?

Hello Suners,
i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
               FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
               BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
               String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:
how to get text from this array? i was thinking of :
    private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        PdfReader read;
        StringBuffer buff=new StringBuffer();
        try {
            read = new PdfReader("d:/getjobid2727.pdf");
            read.getMetaData();
            byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
            int i=0;
            while(i>-1){
                buff.append(data);
i++;
String str=buff.toString();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:/test.txt");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF8");
out.write(str);
out.close();
read.close();
} catch (Exception f) {
f.printStackTrace();
"D:/test.txt" hasn't been created!! when i ran the program,
is my steps right?

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

Finder/Spotlight does not seem to be searching the contents of docx files anymore. How do I re-enable this search function?

I used to be able to search the contents of .docx MS Word files in the past, but this feature suddenly stopped working.
Anyone else experiencing this as well and is there a fix?
Thanks.

Similar or same problem, with similar and same hardware/software. This is incredibly frustrating given that for the last ten years we've been told not to worry about organizing our files but instead rely on tags and meta-data.
.docx files are found when no file content is searched.
When some content is searched, recent .docx files (last 7 days) files may appear, but nothing older.
Just to be clear, when any content is searched for, no .docx files older than 7 days are present in search results.
However, .doc files with identical content are found, as are PDFs etc.
Reindexing changes nothing.

How To Fetch the Content of a File from Client's PC?

In my JSP I have this:
<input type="file" name="filename">for visitors of the web page to browse their PCs' directories to select a file to upload (when the Submit button is clicked).
What appears in the text field will be a file name. How do I get both the file name and the content of that file to be saved in the database?

From http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/input.html:
A form that includes a file INPUT must specify METHOD=post and ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in the <FORM> tag. CGI libraries such as CGI.pm allow simple handling of such forms.
Form-based file upload is unsupported by many currently deployed browsers. Authors should provide alternative methods of input where possible.
The following example allows the user to upload an HTML document for validation:
<FORM METHOD=post ACTION="/cgi-bin/validate.cgi" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<P>Select an HTML document to upload and validate. If your browser does not support form-based file upload, use one of our alternate methods of validation.</P>
<P><INPUT TYPE=file NAME="html_file" ACCEPT="text/html"></P>
<P><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Validate it!"></P>
</FORM>
Your servlet would then have to process whatever data is put into that parameter. You can look at O'Reilly's servlet utilities, or one of the other other links here:

How to read the contents of XML file from my java code

All,
I created an rtf report for one of my EBS reports. Now I want to email this report to several people. Using Tim's blog I implemented the email part. I am sending emails to myself based on the USERID logic.
However I want to email to different people other then me. My email addresses are in the XML file.
From the java program which sends the email, how can I read the fields from XML file. If any one has done this, Please point me to the right examples.
Please let me know if there are any exmaples/BLOG's which explain how to do this(basically read the contents of XML file in the Java program).
Thank You,
Padma

Ike,

How to store the contents of a file

Hi,
I'm using forms6i and database 10g.
Through forms if a user selects a filename , and clicks a button or something,
the contents of the file should be saved in the database.
The file can be of any type, like .doc,.pdf,.xml,.html etc...
and the contents filed will be of type varchar
Please help me do this..
Thanks

Do you really want to save the "Content" of a file or the file itself? If you try to save the contents of a .doc or .pdf in a column with a VARCHAR2 datatype, you are going to corrupt the contents of the file since these file types have binary data in them as well as text. I think you would have greater success storing the actual file in a BLOB column.
Here are a few Oracle Support documents that discuss how to store and retrieve files stored as BLOBs in the database.
Doc ID: 168277.1 - How to Upload Binary Documents Back to Database BLOB Column from Forms
Doc ID: 330146.1 - How to write BLOBs Stored Inside the Database Out to Files.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
