Is it possible to search multiple documents for text?
I have several hundred fake newspaper cuttings that I have generated in Photoshop CS4, in which there are multiple layers of text. I want to search for certain words within all those cuttings, similar to the way I can search for words in InDesign or PDF across multiple documents.
Is that possible, either from within PS or by using third-party software?
I’ve given it some thought and I think Scripting would be the best way after all.
I’ve asked about accessing the texts in a psd without actually opening it in Photoshop in the Scripting Forum, but I’ve been told it might be speedier to actually open the files in psd, so some BrigeTalk might be necessary.
Anyway I wonder if one should upon running the Script create text-files with all the psd-files’ collected texts so that subsequent searches wouldn’t necessitate repeated opening – of course that means risking searching obsolete lists (unless one institutes checks for relative change-dates or some such).
A way that aims much shorter would be to transfer all the textItem.contents to the File Info’s Description with a comparatively simple Script and search the Contents in the Finder.

Can i search multiple sheets in a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a
separate sheet?Thank you, Barry. That was helpful, and am hopeful that what I want to do is possible.
I am creating a spreadsheet that currently has 20 sheets, of which certain sheets have more than one table. I will be adding more sheets. I would like to return results for all occurences of the search string. Preferably into a seperate spreadsheet. It would be perfect if that seperate sheet updated whenever I update information in the first spreadsheet. To give an example:
Sheet: baskets
Tables: straw
wire
Sheet: barware
Tables: glasses
decanters
coasters
My tables all have the same titiels:
Vendor Description Cost Selling Price
Since I will have upwards of 100 sheets, with multiple tables, and most of my vendors will fit into multiple sheet categories, it would be helpful if I could also see what my order will be from each vendor, not just who I will be ordering each item from. How would I do that?
I hope I conveyed that properly.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Search multiple folders for files with same name and create single file
I have a project where I need to search multiple folders for a file name and when found append data from each file to a single input file.
Example
root folder to start search
\\servera\sales
\\servera\it\salesa\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesb\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesc\cmmstr.txt
I need to create a a single cmmstr.txt on the root folder. I would like it to be able to run this with parms to pass in folders to search and file names to search and single file name to create. I'm going to have a least 10 differnt files to
search for and create output file for. The folders to search
will somewhat be static.
Thanks.I tested this out on my own seat and I think it should work for you. I wrote it as a function, all you have to do is pass the root folders you want to search and the file your looking for. The function will then search that directory and all sub directories
for that file name. you will also have to provide it a file to append to, if the file dosen't exists the function will create it. If you run into an issues let me know and the links Mike
Laughlin posted are a great resource.
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations, $SearchFor, $AppendTo)

If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}

ON MAC OS, Adobe Reader unable to search a document for words
Hi,
I am using Adobe Reader on a Mac Os platform. All my software is up to date, including OS and Adobe Reader.
My issue is that when I try searching a particular document for a word, it may return one result, if any, although there are clearly more results in the document. I also tried this same operation on a windows os, windows 7 most updated os. The search returned all results that were there..
This must be a mac thing, I am wondering what fix there is for this?
If this helps, when I copy and past the highlighted text to msword, it comes back in wing dings or some symbols...although its clear it is readible text in the document....able to annotate andhighlight it..etc.
Thank you!I have a similar problem, but it has only occurred since my Adobe Reader was updated a few days ago.
Until then, the 'search' function (command-shift-F) would operate beautifully.
Since the update (to version 9.4.0, on Mac OS-X 10.6) the 'search' menu does not even show, regardless of whether I use the shortcut or the menu from the top. 'Find' still seems to work, but it is prety useless when there ae multiple occurrences of a word or phrase within a document.
If this canot be resilved, I would much rather go back to the old version - how do I do this? -
Multiple document for request correspondence FB12
Hello all,
currently i'm using version 4.7.
as known in std t-code FB12, we need to request which documents to generate correspondence.
steps are:-
1. enter company code
2. choose correspondence type
3. key in document number & fiscal year
as for item 3; is there a method that we can key in multiple document numbers & year in one shot?
currently doc number and year enter one by one.
pls give ideas anyone...really appreciate it.Hi,
i got what u meant. for my case, i want to print customer invoices (includes with or without tax).
is there any other std t-code to do it for multiple selection documents?
update:
i tested use t-code F.62 (internal doc) using my correspondence type. here i select multiple documents to request as you mentioned earlier.
but error msg prompted as 'Correspondence type ZAPS1 requires an individual text'.
then i check the setting for ZAPS1 (tcode OB77) and indicator 'indiv. text' maintained. for what purpose this is ticked?
further to that i check the program attached to ZAPS1 (t-code OB78), 'Text' field is maintained. what purpose this is maintain?
kindly help to explain to me as i'm in doubt of the setting. Thanks.

Create URL Document for text only string (Not XML)
I want to query a http page that return only a string of text. The response is not formatted with XML. Is it possible to read the value of “parameter1” containing “4321” from the Contact Center Express script?
Response (pure text):
parameter1=4321¶meter2=1234Getting the response body of an HTTP GET request is as easy as:
Set my_string = URL[http://my-server.local/]
Now, if the response body is formatted as a query string: key1=value1&key2=value2, you will need to further process your results.
You can feel free to search the web for "java query string" to see if there's code out there you like, otherwise, here's one way to do it in UCCX.
/* This Set step makes the HTTP GET request to the web server and stores the response body in the String */
Set my_string = URL[http://my-server.local/]
/* This Do step takes any size query parameter and turns it into a HashMap */
/* E.g., From this: key1=value1&key2=value2; to this: map[key1] = value1, map[key2] = value2 */
Do {
String[] pairs = my_string.split("&");
int i = 0;
int j = pairs.length;
for (; i < j; i++) {
my_map.put(pairs[i].split("=")[0], pairs[i].split("=")[1]);
}/* This If step checks the existance of a specific key, and if it exists, we get the value for use in our script */If (my_map.containsKey("key1")) True /* The specified key is in the map, set account_number to its value */ Set account_number = (String) my_map.get("key1"); False /* The specified key is not in the map */
I hope that makes sense and helps you. Ask questions if you need more help. Good luck.

Is it possible to search the client for a file in WebDynpro?
Hi,
I need to check inside a WebDynpro application wether a
file exists on a client or not, befor showing or listing it.
I have a UNC-Name for the location (e.g.
servername\dirname\filename.extension).
Another task would be to browse this directory for all other existing files and dirs and list them.
Is this at all possible with WebDynpro?
Or would this only be possible by using the filesystem of
the applicationserver (e.g. mount the dir on the filesys)?
Is it possible to launch a client-located script (like VB-Script or such) in WebDynpro?
(e.g. to search the dir, create a text-file and read this text-file).
Or are these concepts totally against the security-policies
of web-based applications?
Thanks in advance.
AlfHi Alfred,
generally web applications run in a sandbox on the client.
That means that they have no access to the file system.
To get access you need to install a certificate on the client:
You create a key with the Java-Tool "Keytool" and sign the application (or the applet) with the Java-Tool "Jarsigner".
That generates a *.cert file wich you now have to export from the parent system and import onto the client (with Keytool).
You will find many detilled instructions for this procedure in the internet.
Unfortunately I don`t know how it works with Web Dynpro.

How do I search a document for hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro XI?
Running Windows 7 Enterprise -- It seems neither the advanced nor simple search option includes a check box for hyperlinks in a search. What am I missing?
That method has worked for me before with external URL's; however, I am attempting to enumerate links to sections, figures and tables within a large document. Another way to do it (for this particular document, as it happens) is by adding tags via the Accessibility tool, but this process is tedious and the accessibility problems Acrobat found are mostly spurious, found just by luck.
All I want is a wildcard regular expression search and a check box to include all links in my search, like how the search function worked in previous versions of Acrobat. -
BPS Web Interface don't show multiple documents for each cell
Hi gurus,
I have an issue... we are trying use text documents from BPS on the WEB interface. Everything works fine, I can input text documents on each cell on the web, and from Query as well.
I saved several other documents from the query for the very same cell, and I can see these other documents from BPS itself or from the Query by clicking on the title... but on BPS WEB interface, it shows only the last text document saved.
Is there anything wrong on the configuration, or is it possible for the WEB interface to show the titles so that the user can choose which document he wants to open?
Thanks in advance,

Building index from multiple tables for text search
Hallo,
I had a look at how to build a index table to optimize search with Oracle text.
At the moment we are using a JOIN of tables to search for a text in several fields located in different tables.
My question is:
Is it possible to create that index table from several tables?
If yes, can you point me out to any links or give me an example.
So far, all the examples I read were about 1 table only.
Thanks
ElisabethThe following is an extension of the original example. It uses ctx_ddl.sync_index to synchronize the index and shows the changes in one of the index tables and shows that the query finds the newly synchronized data. It also shows how this only happens when the column that the index is on is updated. In this example, the index is on the dummy column. The first update does not update the dummy column, so the ctx_ddl.sync_index command does not synchronize the new data. The second update does update the related dummy column, so ctx_ddl.sync_index does synchronize the new data. Lastly, I showed what happens to one of the index tables when you rebuild the index. Notice the reduction in rows in the index table after the rebuild process. You could also rebuild online or drop and recreate the index.

Possible to have multiple views for one scene?
Away3D allows multiple Views to be created for one Scene, allowing different camera positions for the same geometry.
Can Proscenium support this? I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a while now...
JoeHi Kopaacabana,
(I feel like I'm in one of those post-apocalyptic scenes where the last two humans left on earth finally meet.....)
Thanks for answering!
Yes, I've actually got two cameras quite happily working in the scene, the problem is that I need to re-use the geometry for the scene in two windows, or at least, two separate parts of one window simultaneously. Away3D can do it very easily, where one sets up a 'View', which has a 'Scene' it views. With Proscenium it seems that the whole thing is tied up with an Instance3D, which is fine for one camera, but the scene nodes seem tied up as children of some root scene node. I've tried assigning the scene data as a child of two instances of BasicScene (hacking the stage3ds[number] to be different for each), but that causes an exception.
Just changing the activeCamera changes the view to the new camera, where I actually need to be able to render to two windows/screen areas from one set of geometry.
I would have hoped that the paradigm would have been 'here is some geometry, lights, etc., now do with it what you will'
Adobe, are you there to help us out, like, anyone at all? Are we wasting our time with this?

Is it possible to have multiple lines of text show for an event in monthly view?
as an example, have a few lines of flight info show up without double clicking on event and it would be nice to have the entire event in a monthly printout too. Thank you.
Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for your reply and I apologize for getting back to this so late. I started using your suggestions today and I did have some success! The "shadow" button is very clever. Now, I think my lack of javascript syntax knowledge is keeping me from getting it all correct. I experimented with one field, a date field and I created the shadow button as you suggested and it worked perfectly!. The successful code I used for the click event for the gray button (see image below), was:
form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.SubmitRIFToFinalHrShadowButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.Approver2RIFDate.rawValue == null) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please fill in all required fields");
else form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.SubmitRIFToFinalHrButton.execEvent("click");
However, I have not yet had luck getting the other fields in that row to work like the date field has though. I don't think I'm coding the "or' part correctly when I begin to add the fields (the next one I'm trying to add after the "or" is the "Name" dropdown list box, but maybet the dropdown list doesn't count as a "null" value like the Date field does?
My attempt at adding the name field so that two items are being checked is something like this but it does not work:
form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.SubmitRIFToFinalHrShadowButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.Approver2RIFDate.rawValue == null){
or
(form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.Approver2RIFName.rawValue == null)
xfa.host.messageBox("Please fill in all required fields");
else form1.SSA.SF_Approver2RIF.SubmitRIFToFinalHrButton.execEvent("click");
Thank you so much for any additional insights you or the other members may have. I really appreciate it!

T is possible to create Multiple services for PM order
Hi,
Is it possible to take multi-service in a single maintenance order,so that cost will book on that equipment only and at cost center accordingly.At present the equipment and functional location field are disabled in the system.
ThanksAs I mentioned, do the config in Define Notification & Order Integration in IMG.
Then give the equipments in Object List. Then select the equipment & click the button Assignments at the bottom.
Then you can find the operations. Select the operation which should be assigned to the selected equipment.
So that, in Operation details screen, you can find that equipment.
You cant edit the equipment / FL field in operation details screen.
