Is there a Search for Unused files??

Hi, I'm on DW CS3 and maybe I'm being lazy here, but is there
a way to search for Unused files in your site ? My site could use
some cleanup and it would be a major help to have something like
this rather than scouring through every file one by one.
If this is a dumb question, my apologies. Many Thanks for any
help,
Frank B.

Thanks for the tip Randy. I've done what you suggested, but
in the orphaned files, I see things that I need, like an XML file I
need for the flash portion of my site.
I guess I should just search the orphaned files manually and
at least DW helped to narrow down the search.
Let me know if there is anything I'm missing.
Many Thanks for helping,...Frank B.

  • Is there a way to search for a file within a site defined in Dreamweaver?

    I know you can search for phrases within a file's code, but
    what if I have defined an extremely large site in Dreamweaver with
    thousands of files in it and then I search for a file with the
    phrase "contact" in it? Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver or
    is there an extension that would add this functionality?

  • How to search for a file and copy it to somewhere else in terminal

    So basically how can I search for a file on my computer named "testingtesting.txt" and copy it to my desktop using terminal? I have very little experience in terminal, so I was going to try and use the mdfind command, then store that output as a variable, and use that variable as the source for the cp command, but I feel like there is probably a much simpler method. So basically how could I find a file named "testingtesting.txt", copy it, and paste it to my desktop using terminal.

    Is there any particular reason that you must use Terminal?
    You could just download the free EasyFind from the App Store and find the file quickly. Do whatever you wish with it.
    Good luck,

  • How to search for a file?

    Hi I am currently using the below code to detect a file automaticaly in a thumbdrive. So currently I have to state the path directory to detect the particular file. Is there a way to search for the file in the thumbdrive using Java?
    public class Detect {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    File f = new File("f:\\");
    while (! f.exists())
    try { Thread.sleep(500); }
    catch (InterruptedException e) {}
    System.out.println("drive inserted!");
    }

    You'll need to recursively search through a top directory and all its subdirectories for all files. Here is a link how to do this.
    http://www.javapractices.com/Topic68.cjp
    You can search for all drives A through Z for the file (using something like new File("F:") and catching the exception if not found (and dont do anything with the exception). But exclude C and D drive since they are usually hard drives and take forever to search through. Also, you may want to use File.separator instead of '/" or '\' in your code since windowsXP uses one while Unix uses the other and you would want your code to be able to run on either operating system.
    Are you building a web page with this? if so, it will not work since your search code would be running on the server and not on the client's machine. Even if you were able to run it on the client machine via his browser, you cant because of security reasons (end users dont want to give you access to thier drives). If its a web page, look into file upload html tag called <input type="file". This allows the end-user to navigate on his machine to where the file is and download it without you having to search for it.
    If you writing an application instead of a web page, I think there is an applet you can use that will do the same thing as <input type="file".
    Searching though a directory structure isn't good since it takes too long for users t wait.

  • Searching for a file in java

    What I am trying to do is not very uncommon. I want to open a file in it's default application (or at least in a common one.)
    Mainly I am currently thinking either HTML files or PDF's.
    What I was wondering is how to search for a file and get its directory path. For example I want to search for the file "Acrobat". In windows its directory is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
    But I know in MAC or Unix the path could be very different. Not only that, but what if they did not use the default installation directory. I just want to find the path of a file by invoking a search. Is there currently any way to do this?
    I know I can open a JFileChooser and make the user search and find the program they wish to run it in, but that certainly is not very user friendly. I'd rather the program just searched for the proper application(s) and then called the exec() method to run the file in the program.
    Any help is appreciated.

    java.io.File provides a listRoots() method that returns all file system roots. So for Windoze you'd get 'A:/', 'B:/' 'C:/' ... etc.
    Unix you'd get '/' and so on.
    Now you can use other File methods to recursively scan the roots.
    Here's some (untried) code to get you going that searches for all java.exe found on all roots.
    import java.io.File;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.io.FilenameFilter;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.io.IOException;
    public class FindIt {
      public FindIt () {
        File[] roots = File.listRoots();
        List list = new ArrayList();
        for (int i = 0; i < roots.length; i++) {
          scan(roots,list,new FilenameFilter(){
    public boolean accept(File file, String name) {
    return new File(file,name).isDirectory() ||
    name.equals("java.exe");
    public static void scan(File path,
    List list,
    FilenameFilter filter) throws IOException {
    // Get filtered files in the current path
    File[] files = path.listFiles(filter);
    // Process each filtered entry
    for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    // recurse if the entry is a directory
    if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
    scan(files[i],list,filter);
    else {
    // add the filtered file to the list
    list.add(files[i]);
    } // for
    } // scan
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new FindIt();
    You will run into problems with some roots as they will be removeable media (cd's diskettes) or network drives (potentially huge number of dirs to scan). So I do not recommend that you search on all roots, but a subset.

  • Searching for a file

    Is there an easy way to modify how it works when you try and "find file".
    Now when I do a search for a file (let's say the file's name is "GREEN"), the OS finds hundreds of files where the word "Green" might be included.
    But what do I do if I just want the FILES named "GREEN" or "GREEN.01", etc... to be included?
    Thanks!

    Hello! Click on the "name" and "contains" boxes etc and a popup menu comes up allowing you to refine your search to name is et. Tom

  • Searching for a file in client backups - Window's Home Server 2011

    Here is my problem:
    I have great backups on WHS2011, but only need to restore a couple of files.  I am looking for a file a non-standard program uses, and it is not in any of the normal places.  I can restore the file if I can find it, but is there a way I can search
    for a file in these .DAT files?

  • Searching for a file name?

    Hey Guys,
    Is there a way to fine the name of a text file? For example, I have 3 files 1235.txt, 2568.txt, and 2568.txt. I need to find one of these files and write user info into each one and then update the file with current user info.
    I was just wonder if there is anyway you could search for a file name?
    The reason I need to do this is because I want to store user details into seperate files, because I don't really want to use a random access file and using one file for all the users seems alot harder, when finding a file users info...
    Thanks Guys,
    The 31st Cook
    PS. I will post the code if required.... Thanks Again

    O yeah, I remember (google refresh my memory) this is what we were going to use in the first place except.. Because we must demo the program on completely locked down computers we can't install the drivers (that's what I was told) So, we can't use it...

  • Searching for missing files and damaged photo icon

    I am trying to view photos that I have viewed in this program numerous times before but now when I click on the photos, I get a message that says "searching for missing files". Sometimes, the photo appears with a red icon below it that resembles a wripped photo. Does this mean my photo has been damaged by the program?

    I too have been told to find them on my hard drive but still nothing comes up, I can find the picture name and then do a search, but nothing. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying seach for missing files not found. I can see my collection of pictures, but there blury and then when I try to click on them, it says searching for missing file and it gives me the file name, and then I've tried to go under my search and put that file name in and nothing comes up, I also got NO help from adobe and they want us to buy more products??? They could have warned us somehow on what happens if you move them or try and put them on disc, and that's what happen, I put some on disk or at least thought I did and then realized I didn't want to do that, so I hit the UNDUE and I guess it was so late or something, cuz I can see the pictues, just can't open them. I'm wandering if I need to have a expert see if he can get them off of Adobe, I really want the pictues I have graduation pictures on there and need them very much. Would love to have help from anybody. Please.
    Thank you

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Searching for shared files over a server network using a client computer

    I think spotlight can only be used to search for files on a local computer. Is there a way to search for shared files on a server from a logged in client computer?

    It should work on shared HFS volumes. You would have to start the search from the Finder, not from the Spotlight menu.
