I want to search for two strings of text throughout numerous cells

I can get a formula to search an individual cell using this:
=IFERROR((IF((SEARCH(String1,SearchString,1)+SEARCH("String2",SearchString,1))>0 ,"Yes","No")),"No")
How can I search a bunch of cells at the same time?
Thanks.

What do you want to do? The solution depends on how you want to use the results that you find. You can also use the fund feature of the Number (<command> + "f") or the menu item "Edit > Find > Show Find"
or you can use the filter feature of the reorganize panel:
Not filtering:
Filtering
to open the reorganize panel... click the button in the tool bar OR
select the menu item "Table > Show Reorganize Panel"

How can I search for a string like a partial IP address in the global search

When searching for a string like "10.255." the global search finds messages containing "255" or "10" and both.
This happens no matter whether quotation is used or not.
When quotation is used it probably will match on the given order as well, but beeing in the timezone '+0100' the string "10" is always found first (in the email headers...).
Is there a way to tell the global search not to use '.' or any other character as whitespace?

Regular expressinos work just fine, especially when
searching for patterns. But they seem to be impying
it's a specific group of characters they're looking
for, and indexOf() is much faster than a regex.If he's reading from a file, the I/O time will likely swamp any performance hit that regex introduces. I think contains() (or indexOf() if he's not on 5.0 yet) is preferable to regex just because it's simpler. (And in the case of contains(), the name makes for a very clear, direct mapping between your intent and the code that realizes it.)

Searching for a string in an excel file and return true if found.

How can I search for a string in an excel file and return true if found, its location and also a value.

The problem with searching an excel file is that it contains a header. It would be easiest if you just read the file into a LabVIEW array and search the array. This way you can also get the index and the value of the location.

Search for a String in a list of files

Could anyone please send me a java sample code which searches for a string from a list of files and returns me the filename and the line in which the Search String was found ?
Thanks in advance
RR

Simple solution would be -
1. Traverse a directory for each file.
2. Read each file using Buffered Reader.
3. Use readLine() method to read a line.
4. Use String.indexOf to see if the data which you are looking for is there in the line or not.
5. If its there then store the line number and file name.
6. When the loop will end you will have list of file name and line number where the data which you are looking for is present.

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts using the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls tab. Has anyone a fix for this problem? If you want to try it out, do the following?
Dial a number from your iPhone Keypad. After cutting the call, try to save the number you just dialled to your contacts by choosing the new contact option. You will see that you will not be able to key in the name of your new contact.

Works fine for me.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Search for a String within a document (Word, txt, doc) using JSP, JAVA

Hi
I have created a little application that uses combination of JSP and HTML. Users of this application can upload documents which are then stored on the server. I need to develop functionality where I can allows users to search for a string within a document. More precisely, user would type in some string in a text box and application will search all uploaded documents for that string and return the downloadable links to those documents that contains that string. I have never done this before. I was wondering if someone could get me started on this or point me to some thread where this idea is already discussed. Any Jave code exists for searching through documents??
Thanks for your help

Search for a string in SAP Script

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to search for a string in all Z SAP scripts, like ABAP source scan?
Regards,
Hari.

Try using function module "READ_FORM" (you will have to write a simple z-program to find all SAPscripts in your system then use this function module to search the SAPScript Forms for a particular string).
All you have to do is supply the "FORM" name and it will return all of the Pages, Paragraphs, and Texts etc....
More specifically, try looping at the "FORM_LINES" internal table result and you will see the SAPScript text there....
Have fun !

Is Safari Find function flexible? (Search for inner strings of characters?)

I'm running 10.6.8 with Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). I see that when you search a web page using the Safari Find function, you can only search for the beginnings of words, not for character strings within the words. Is it possible to expand the Find function's capability to search for inner strings of characters?

use command F or the edit menus to make the page search box visible - click the magnify/arrow icon at the left side of it - choose "contains" or "starts with".

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.

Ian.

Help to search for a string value and return the index in the arraylist

Hello,
I just start java programming for the last three weeks and I cannot find a solution for this problem. I have the following List with string and integer value as shown below:
List<Empl> list= new ArrayList<Empl>();
     list.add(new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
     list.add(new Empl(3,"Bob", "Howards",2);
     list.add(new Empl(2,"Chris", "Hup",8);
I have no problem of sorting this arraylist either by firstname or lastname. However, I cannot think of a way to search for a firstname or lastname and returing the whole row. I do not want to use index since I am asking user to enter the name to search. Here is my code to search for an empl based on index.
System.out.print("Please enter index to search or (q)uit: ");
          String ans = sc.next();
          System.out.println();
          int ians = Integer(ans);
          if (ans.equalsIgnoreCase("q"))
                    choice = "n";
          else
          System.out.println("index " + list.get(ians)); //this will print out the whole row based on the index
Since the user will never seen the contents of the arraylist, is there a way that I can search by string last/first name and will get the index location in int if the result is met?
Please advice and thank you.
Bob.

Empl e = new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
list.add(e);
firstNames.add(e.firstName());As long as you always add them in the same order, the indexes will match, so you could do something like
ians = firstNames.indexOf(nameToFind);to return the index of the name, if it's there (if not, it will return -1).
I wouldn't recommend this as standard practise, but it should be OK for the level you're at.
NOTE: indexOf() returns the index of the FIRST matching item. You may want to think about what you want to do if there are more than 1.

How to: Search for a string in entire movie project?

I used a copyrighted name a few different places as I was creating a very long and complex game. I have since removed it from the game where it was previously showing up but when I search the exe, it's still there in a few places. Is there a way to search the entire movie project and all content, all scripts for a particular string? For instance "Microsoft".
If so, I cannot find a way and could use some direction, even if it's an xtra I need to install that adds this capability.
Thanks!!!!!

Scripts are easy. You open any script window and hit Ctrl + F and enter your search term in the Find box, ensuring the "All Casts" radio button is checked.
For text and field members you'll need to write a script that does the search for you. If you were clearer about what you want to happen when you find your search term in a text member then someon could help you with how to perform this. I know there is already code posted to the forum somewhere about how to examine every member of every castLib checking the member type - which would be a very good place to start.

Searching for literal strings in iTunes

Is this possible? Using double quotations marks will not do the trick and it is important for me to search for a literal string. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Are you sure??? If I put, for example "To Party" in the search box for my music library it brings back 41 tracks. If I use the little drop down arrow to match only on Song name it drops down to 15, but if I create a smart playlist with the rule *Name contains To Party* it matches just 7. Seems like a "literal" pattern match to me.
Anyway, for inspiration on writing AppleScripts look no further than http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ - not having a Mac I write mine in VBScript and the two systems are very different so I can't really offer any pointers.
