How to search unknown file types?

Is it possible to get DW CS3 to search the contents of files
that it doesn't recognise?
I'm working on a C# .net 2 site (I prefer editing in DW than
VS), which includes .resx files. I have the files within a DW site,
yet searching for strings I know exist in selected files yields no
results. However, opening them in DW, and then searching content
does return a result. But this isn't very helpful when you don't
know what file you're looking for!
So, is it possible?
Thanks
Matt

I'm using 902.
The custom xml item type is something that was created by Oracle Netherlands. They based it on the File type. We input items of this type using XOpus, which is a javascript based XML editor that is embedded within the browser, so when we click on the portal link to edit the item, xopus renders the xml content, and we make changes or enter data and save it.
This shouldn't matter though. The XML items are definitely being added to the database, because they are accessible later, but these items never show up in the search results for items (whereas items of builtin types, file or text, do show up). Whether this is because they aren't being indexed, or for some other reason, I'm not sure.
thanks for your help...

~evbkreport~.PDF%20 Unknown File Type

Using BPC 5.0.502
Trying to save a document from BPC web. I encuonter the the file extention PDF%20 instead of PDF. I am able to save from BPC Web, and open using Acrobat. I must manually resave document as .pdf. Appset Parameters ALLOW_EXTENTIONS and DEFAULT_EXTENTIONS have PDF as a part of their respective settings. Any ideasas how to fix?
Thanks,
Greg

Looks like no one has the idea how pdf is showing pdf%20 instead. Maybe you need to convert the file to pdf using a pdf editing software. Read this article on [pdf unknown file type|http://www.pcperformancetools.com/how-to-repair-open-unknown-file-type-extensions.html] for more details, it also provides general insights on how to open unknown file types and repair file extension errors.

Unknown File Type for Adobe Classroom in a Book Fireworks

I am trying to open sand_river1.jpg cited on p. 74 of Adobe Fireworks Classroom in a Book and am getting a "Could not open file" and "unknown file type" despite the fact that the image is displaying as a thumbnail in the file browser. I get the message on both Windows and Mac Fireworks CS6. Is it possible these publication assets were not part of Adobe's QA regression? Anyway:
- I'd rather not try to fix this myself since it's an Adobe product and I can wait.
- has this problem been corrected?
- is there an errata site for the book? When I search on Google I am just sent to Amazon and bittorrent.
thanks

A quick Google search for that file name confirmed the issue here, and a fixed version for chapter 4 can be downloaded at http://www.jimbabbage.ca/_files/ch4files.zip

XML file considered "Unknown File Type"

Hi,
I have XML files that lack an XML declaration. Part of the import process, though, is an XSLT stylesheet that adds one through standard XSLT output (ie, omit-xml-declaration="no"). However, Frame still decides that it is an unknown file type and forces me to select "XML" in that dialog box.
When I run an XML file through the stylesheet manually (with another processor), I see the declaration added. Furthermore, the externally-transformed file imports without a hitch.
Any ideas why the declaration is not recognized when added by XSLT during the import process? More importantly, any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks,
Russ

Sylvia, I used the following function, which shows the parameters for F_ApiOpen(). Note that this worked for the one problem I was having with the "unknown file type" dialog box. There are a myriad of other XML errors that can occur which you may not be able to get around.

Unknown file type

I get an "unknown file type" message when I try to open photos someone emailed to me. I can open them with Windows Photo Viewer, but I cannot import them to my Photoshop Elements 13 organizer. Any ideas how I can get them to import? Thanks!

Hi,
What file type is it? - what is the extension?
Are there any extra "." in the file name - Photoshop Elements tends to assume that the extension (=type) occurs after the first ".".
this.that.jpg would be rejected
this_that.jpg would be OK
You may need to rename your files.

Hi,
I had a similar problem. Tried as per your suggestion but no luck unfortunately. The content of the generated file is listed below. The strange thing is if you save the generated file with extension .html it renders fine in the browser. Could it be that IE has a problem with .jsp files? I'm running IE 6 as well.

How to search .java files by Search tool in NWDS or any other tool?

Hi All,
I can easily search .JSP files by NWDS's Search tool, but I have a hard time to search Java files by this tool. Can anyone guide me how to search Java files which contain a specified string by using Search tool in NWDS? or any other tool?
Thanls. Jin

Hi Jin,
You can search Custom Java files with NWDS Search tool for specified string. But not standard Java files.
Suppose you have extend z_userR3 base on UserR3 and contains string some help then you can click on search in NWDS
Then click on File it will open Search box with 4 tag
1. File Search
2. Help Search
3. Java Search
4. Plug-in Search
Click on File Search tab and provide the text in Containing text input box and give java file name with wild characters like *.java
Select Workspace under Scope and hit search button. It will search string in your custom Java file. This method will not search string in Standard Java classes of SAP.
If you want to search in standard SAP java classes then you should know about what you are searching i.e. whether it is field, Method, Package, Constructor and Type select proper radio button under Search For box then tryo to select proper radio button under Limit To if you want to search everywhere then select All Occurrences. You should select Workspace under Scope.
Suppose nothing comes after selected Type then go for other option one by one Method, Field etc...
Expert people will give you more information.
I hope this will help you.
Regards.

Numbers error msg: "Unable to open ' .' Unknown file type."

I last updated this doc 4 days ago, saving it every time I update it. I use it to track my children's school hours throughout the year. I have since restarted my Mac. I went to open this file today, and am getting the error message, "Unable to open ' (name of file)' Unknown file type.
When I search for the doc under the spotlight, the name of it appears & it is listed as a Numbers doc, but I can't open it.
Any ideas for a work around? I haven't backed it up in several weeks, so I'll be very sad if I can't retrieve it at all!
Thanks for your help.

Rwservlet "unknown file type"

Hi,
I'm trying to run one of our standard reports on IE7 on one our company PCs using the standard URL produce PDF output....
http://your_web_server:port_num/rwservlet?server=server_name&report=myreport.rdf etc etc....
Now, bearing in mind that this runs fine on every other PC in the building fine and runs perfectly ok on Firefox on the same pc, can someone pls tell me why I am getting the following pop up..
rwservlet "unknown file type"
It then tries to get me to download rwservlet onto the PC and thats it! No report run after that.
What is going on? Can someone enlighten me or even point me to an answer. I've tried searching but no joy.
Thanks

At a guess you are trying to generate an excel spreadsheet, and thats not opening in ie7, but is in firefox?
Thats when I encountered this problem.
Try this on a machine, then run again after.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
In the Windows environment:
1) Start -> Run -> Regedit (to open the registry)
2) Locate the following key path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
FEATURE_ZONE_ELEVATION\iexplore.exe
3) Change the value from '1' to '0'
4) Ensure that the following settings for the .xls & .html file types are unchecked:
a) Open Windows Explorer
b) Goto Tools/Folder Options/File Types tab
c) Select the Extension 'XLS' (or HTML) and Click on the Advanced button
d) Un-check the option 'Confirm Open after Download' & 'Browse in same window'
5) Select 'OK', then 'Apply'

Ld: fatal: unknown file type

I am trying to link against a shared object which is created earlier in the build, and am getting the following error:
ld: fatal: file /export/home/torpey/MXLib.sunws/lib/libWkr.so: unknown file type
The error is not documented anywhere that I can find. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
(P.S. Similar code & makefiles work OK w/gcc3.2)
Build step looks like this (condensed):

In your elfdump output, e_type is ET_EXEC which tells me it is
an executable. For dynamic library, it should be ET_DYN.
How did you build the libWkr.so? Did you use
CC -G ? Was there any error ( either linker error or system-related
error ) while building libWkr.so? If linker thinks it is an executable,
the final linking will not work.

Fireworks CS4: could not open the file. Unknown file type

Hello, this is the second file created with Fireworks CS4 that can't be opened. I'm using the same Fireworks installation that created the file. The file is a 1.2 MB file containing the pages of a draft for a new website.
When I click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it, Fireworks tries to open it, but it can't. Instead, an alert pops up with this message: "Adobe Fireworks CS4 Could not open the file. Unknown file type"
Working with Windows Vista Business, Adobe Web Premium CS4 suite
I already tried opening the file, to no avail, with:
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and the same Fireworks version
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks CS3
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks MX 2004
Please help.

I tried to find a solution for you by using:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=error%20opening%20file&cat=su pport&product=fireworks
but I couldn't find anything. You may want to give it a go :-)
Can you open the file in another program, maybe an earlier version of FWs, or Photoshop or even Illustrator if you have it?
Not sure if there's a configuration folder that needs to be renamed and when FWs restarts it re-writes the config file... that's something to has to be done with DW when 'funny stuff' happens.
That's the best advice I have, I'm sorry :-(

My download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened

my download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened

Sounds like the file extension was dropped when you saved your converted document. Make sure that the .docx (Word) or .xlsx (Excel) extension appears after your file name when saving your document.
You should be able to rename the document you already converted by adding the appropriate extension. The file should then open as expected.
Let us know how it goes!

[CS3][JS] How to get the file type of current document

Hi,
How to get the file type of current opening document (e.g., tif, jpeg, png) using JavaScript with Photoshop CS3.
I am using file object the open the files one by one in the folder (the files sometimes don't have the extensions).
If the current document is in tiff format then I need to convert to 8-bit, if its an Jpg image then needs to ignore the file.
Regards,
Karthik

Do you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore

iOS apps can be added to an iTunes library and thereafter transferred to an iOS device. They cannot be opened directly on a PC.
epub files can be added to an iTunes library, and thereafter transferred to an iOS device where they can be read with the iBooks application. Files protected with Apple's DRM cannot be opened directly on a PC, though there are programs such as Kindle and Calibre that will open non-protected epub files.
