Is there any "Search and Replace" option in Crystal Reports?

Is there any option to search and replace in Crystal Reports. Since i am using a name in many of the formulas in crystal reports. I need to replace with the desired name on the go.
Could anyone help me on this....

Search & Replace across formulas is not available in CR XI but is available in CR 2008.  Here is an excerpt from the CR 2008 Users Guide:
Searching for formula text
You can use the Find dialog box to carry out a number of different activities:
u2022 Search for text or characters in the Field, Function, or Operator trees.
u2022 Search for text or characters that you want to mark or replace in the
formula, Custom Function, or SQL Expression that you have open.
u2022 Search for text or characters across all SQL Expressions in a report.
u2022 Search for text or characters across all formulas and Custom Functions
in a report.
When you search for text across all formulas, the results appear in a pane
at the bottom of the Formula Workshop. (You can dock the results pane in
other locations). When you click an item in the results pane, Crystal Reports
opens the appropriate formula and highlights the matching text.
Tip: You can open the Formula Workshop to search across all formulas
from the Field Explorer and from the body of a report. To do this, select a
formula field, right-click it, and choose the "Find in Formulas" option.

  • Does the labview 8.5 project have a search and replace option that appies to all vi's in the project?

    In 8.2, the only thing the project has to let you search for a vi is "Find vi's on disk", which is redundant since I can do that in windows explorer.  What I want is a way to search for vi's in my application the way the search and replace function works, except I want it to apply to all vi's in a project instead of just the vi's currently loaded in memory.  Do we have this in 8.5?
    -Devin
    I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.

    I'll give an example of what I was trying to do yesterday in 8.2.  I tried to build a source distribution of a large instrument driver.  Since its an instrument driver there is no single top-level vi that contains all vi's - there are different categories of vi's to do different functions on my instrument.  When I'm doing the source distribution I have to do it in several stages since 8.2 doesn't do source distributions right - but thats not really what this post is about.  Anyway, every time I do the distribution I get an error saying CnvrtArrayIntoBitPattern.vi is password protected (and another engineer wrote it and I don't have the password).  So the build fails.  Now I don't know the password, I'll find it out later, but I at least want to know where in the hierarchy this vi is even being called.  I don't know where it is on disk, I don't know what is calling it, it isn't in the project explicitly, it's a dependency.
    If I had a top-level vi that loaded everything, I could just do a search and replace on that vi and find exactly where it is being called in seconds.  But since I am in a project and have no idea where to start looking, there is no way I can find this vi.  Ideally, in 8.5 there would be a search and replace menu option that searches all vi's in a project to find any calls to this vi.  I want to look for all instances of a vi in my project.  It sounds like you still can't really do that in 8.5.
    What I ended up doing is writing a vi that opens all vi's in a folder hierarchy on disk.  I don't know where this vi is, but all vi's in my project are in the same root folder.  So I run my program to open every single project vi.  Then since I know every single vi is open and loaded simultaneously I used the search and replace function on one of them to find all instances of CnvrtArrayIntoBitPattern.vi.  But that is a painstaking process to create a simple search function.
    I think NI is maybe misunderstanding how people are actually using a project.  Not every vi that is being called is going to be explicitly listed in the project.  (Its this same issue that makes source distributions impossible in 8.2 - you can't target dependencies to a support library so every dependency has to be explicitly listed in the project - which is virtually impossible because they are all in different locations and there are hundreds.)  Most people have lots of general purpose vi's they use in many different projects, and they are buried down in code so we aren't even sure where they are all being used.  The new searches you mention assume you already know where the low-level function is and you are looking for their callers.  But sometimes you don't even know where the low level function is.  What if its an NI directory function?  For example, "resample waveform.vi" is an NI function that changed its defaults in 8.2 which meant we had to find every single place we used it and wire "open-interval?" to a constant instead of depending on the default value.  Its in an NI library somewhere and is never listed as a project vi.  So when I needed to find every place through every project that I used this vi, I couldn't do it through  the project manager because there is no search function.  To be practical I add the project-specific vi's to the project, and maybe a couple support directories, but there will always be lots of vi's as dependencies.  But every now and then I'm still going to want to search for one of these vi's.  So in 8.5 there is there still no way to search for vi's that aren't explicitly listed in the project?

  • Is there a "search and replace" feature on IWeb?

    After building my entire site from scratch, I have learned many, many things that will help it load faster, etc.
    This will involve redesigning buttons, and taking some photos and manipulating them in Photoshop (rather than adding borders in IWeb, etc.), etc.
    As I have several pages that include the same items, is there a way that I can find all of the same pictures and replace them with my new edited version with a "search and replace" type of function? Or do I have to go to each page, and delete the old and add the new?
    Thanks for all the help -
    Kim

    As I have several pages that include the same items, is there a way that I can find all of the same pictures and replace them with my new edited version
    You'll have to copy an paste the new items in each page.
    I suppose you could name the new item the same as the old and replace it in the individual page folder. I think that would save you from having to edit any html pages. But if you're going to make other edits to the page which require you to open it in iWeb you might as well replace it that way. It will have to be the same pixel size as the previous file was.
    I did a file replacement for the last three tutorials button in my Old Toad's Tutorials site. Worked like a charm until I next publish.
    *HOWEVER, if you republish the site or page the files will be replaced with the originals. So unless you're not going to change it again you'll have to do the change in iWeb so they will remain changed.*
    Just changed that page from within iWeb so the demo of the process is not available any more.

  • Xml search and replace for 'Session Variables' in column title view

    Hi Experts,
    I have around 10 reports where measure column titles are displayed based the session variable.
    Below is the syntax I have used in the column title
    @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']}
    Now I would like to replace the above syntax with some static text. To do this, I am trying to use the xml search and replace feature in the catalog manager.
    For some reason, catalog manager is unable to find the syntax in the xml file. I have tried using escape character also for the apostrophe by using &apos, but no luck.
    Any pointers on how to replace the text?
    Thanks

    Using Analysis get the xml conversion for @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} from Advanced tab's xml code
    use this code to find in catalog manager, if you able to find then go for search and replace option.
    I think this should work for you.

  • Are there any settings in the options (or anywhere else) that I can use to set up an auto confirm and resend without having to manually click the 'resend' butto

    There is a certain website I use that I refresh frequently. Every time I do I get a pop up message labeled ‘Confirm’ with a question mark in it that says;
    “To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."
    It only seems to be a problem with this one particular site. Are there any settings in the options (or anywhere else) that I can use to set up an auto confirm and resend without having to manually click the ‘resend’ button in the pop up window?

    Hi cor-el, Thanks for responding;
    I am accustomed to seeing this type of pop up on occasion and understand why they are necessary to prevent duplicating orders, payments, etc. I am not using a back button, I wanted to use an auto-refresh app to search for reservation openings on a certain web site and can not because this pop up requires me to manually push a button every time the page refreshes. I am resending the same information every time (a date range) via the POST form, so, was hoping there was a way to either disable, override, or set up and auto response so I can use the auto-refresh app. Your description of how to avoid the pop up didn't entirely make sense to me, but If I have to do a bunch of manual steps in between each refresh attempt it doesn't matter because I'm no better off.

  • How do I search and replace in comments in Acrobat XI?

    I use a Mac and just downloaded Acrobat Pro XI specifically to search and replace phrases in comments in a large PDF. According to this Adobe Help page, I should be able to do this: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/searching-pdfs.html I copied the relevant section below and marked with ***. However, I don't see I don't see an arrow for the options that would allow me to include comments. I understand how to include the comments with advanced search, but I want to also replace text. I also checked in preferences and searched the forums. Could someone please advise and maybe include a screenshot, if possible. Thanks!
    Choose Edit > Find (Ctrl/Command+F). 
    Type the text you want to search for in the text box on the Find toolbar. 
    To replace text, click Replace With to expand the toolbar, then type the replacement text in theReplace With text box. 
    (Optional) Click ***the arrow ***next to the text box and choose one or more of the following: 
    Whole Words Only 
    Finds only occurrences of the complete word you type in the text box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky aren’t found.
    Case-Sensitive
    Finds only occurrences of the words that match the capitalization you type. For example, if you search for the word Web, the words web and WEB aren’t found.
    Include Bookmarks
    Also searches the text in the Bookmarks panel.
    ***Include Comments***
    Also searches the text of any comments.

    Here are screenshot of my attempts to make reducing double returns to one. First up selection of a double return:
    Copy to the clipboard. Do a Command-F. Here's the resulting dialogue:
    I paste in the contents of the clipboard:
    Note the Search field no longer has an empty slot selected. Something is clearly in there, but no instance of whatever is has been found. Nevertheless, I proceed to set up the Replace field by selecting a single return:
    Copy that to the clipboard and paste into the Replace field:
    Nothing to search for and therefore nothing to replace. Am now wondering what that little scoop to the right of the eyeglass icon might indicate. Clicking on it reveals this:
    Definitely not "a solution that just works."

  • Search and replace string formatting

    Hi,
    I am trying to do a search and replace formatting of a string.
    In the example I am looking for string "PASSED" but it must also start with usbflash and some number + PASSED.
    I can't get the format to have a number from 1-99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I have tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Right click on the Search And Replace String function.  There is an option to use Regular Expressions.  Then give this a try.
    EDIT: You will need to set the Replace All input to TRUE.

  • Photos moved from an external HDD to another: Search and replace paths?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been using iPhoto for a few years now and today I have iPhoto '09. I never let iPhoto copy my photos in its library when importing them, since I have most of them stored on an external hard drive. (Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
    I have moved my photos from a small 160GB external hard drive to a new 2TB external hard drive. The problem right now is most of my photos in iPhoto can no longer be displayed. It offers me the option to locate a file every time I open a photo, which I can do, but doing the same task for each and every picture among thousands is daunting.
    To manage photos not stored within its library, iPhoto creates an alias to each picture file. I found a Bash script allowing me to perform a search and replace on all symbolic links in a specific directory. However, the problem is aliases are not the same as symbolic links.
    Is there any way for me to perform a search and replace on all the aliases within the iPhoto library in order to make them point to the new hard drive now containing the pictures?
    By the way, I'm also having a similar problem with iTunes:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2190505

    This issue is the main reason why I never recommend a Referenced Library. Some folks have had success using an app called _[File Buddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy]_ to reconnect the aliases. If that fails then I'm afraid then you will find yourself reconnecting them manually.
    Running a Managed Library this issue simply doesn;t arise. And of course, you can easily run a Library from an external disk and easily move Libraries between disks.
    Should you wish to consider converting from a Referenced to a Managed library, then AliasHerder is an application that will replace these aliases with the actual files, and so preserve your Library and all your work in it. As always: back up first.
    (Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
    How iPhoto names the folders within the Library Package is irrelevant as you never access them that way.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How can I search and replace fonts?

    iOS 7 doesn't support the Adobe workhorse fonts I've most relied on for years, and arbitrarily changes them to iOS built-in fonts when I link my standard documents and templates to the iPhone, via iCloud. There's no apparent logic to how it does this; a Pages document in Minion Pro, a serif font, gets changed to the sans-serif Helvetica. Myriad Pro may come out in Times New Roman. I accept that the iPhone's limited number of fonts makes translation necessary, but does Pages offer a way in which I can search and replace inappropriately substituted fonts for more logical alternatives?

    You noticed the first one yourself: the Found item list seems to randomly jump around the document -- I believe you are correct in your observation it may be due to the object construction order. That tells me, by the way, something about your lot numbers that tou didn't mention: your text is not one continuous long threaded story, but it's all or partially in disconnected etxt frames. The Found list does return everything inside a single story in the correct order, but it goes over each separate story in the order they were constructed.
    The only solution is to gather all of your lot numbers, *re-sort* them according to the page number they appear on (and some sort of Worst Case Scenario is when you might have more than one lot number frame per page; in that case you also need to sort by textframe, top to bottom -- yet even worse is if you also may have these textframes side by side!).
    Only then you have a reliable counting order.
    This isn't too bad. We can just extend the method I offered for sorting top-to-bottom/left-to-right in Re: Working around the frame selection order issue in CS 4 and make it also include page numbers:
    function byPageYX(a,b) {
        var
            aP = a.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.index,
            bP = b.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.index,
            aY = a.baseline[0],
            bY = b.baseline[0],
            aX = a.horizontalOffset[1],
            bX = b.horizontalOffset[1],
            dP = aP-bP,
            dy = aY-bY,
            dx = aX-bX;
        return dP?dP:(dy?dy:dx);
    myResults.sort(byPageYX);
    Or something like that.
    As for actually implementing the above I cannot be of any help with Applescript.
    Once we're dealing with sorting I think you're much better off in Javascript anyhow.

  • Search and Replace text

    Apologies for what is no doubt a simple question - I'm trying to help out IT and I'm not a programmer, although maybe one day...
    Anyway, I'm going to need to read a text file, and search for a string in that text file and replace it.  I see "replace" as a function but I'm not familiar with how to use it.  Poking around I found <cffile action=append> and used that to add a line to a text document.  (Just a notepad .txt)
    Ultimately I'll need to unzip a folder, search and replace the string in a specific file in there, and then re-zip the file, but we'll get to that later.  I managed to unzip a folder already, that's easy enough.  Putting it all together is my current challenge.
    I'm using ColdFusion Builder 2.0
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    file.txt: Contains several lines that all say "All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy".
    <cffile action="read" file="C:\file.txt" variable="myFile">

  • Multiple file search and replace

    Does anyone know if it is possible to do search / replaces in script, text etc over multiple files?  If not, is there any 3rd party software available to do it?
    I have hundreds of files I have to make the same change in and just wanted to find out before I have to do the mind-numbing process of going through them all.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Depending upon what type of files and what kind of changes you need to make, sure you can. You can do a google search for 'binary search and replace'; here's one of the first results, which searches for and replaces strings in multiple text and/or binary files:

  • Joker characters in the search and replace function

    Hello everyone,
    Just a quick question :
    I was wondering what character can be used as a joker character in the search and replace function (I did a research in the site, but didn't find any thread)
    To be clear, I have misspelled a word, for example «trouser».
    I know I didn't make any mistake with the first and last letter, but sometimes I wrote it «tourser», «turoser»
    (sorry if there is a weird meaning, i'm french, and for me it won't mean anything, so don't take it personally)
    I would like to be able te replace all the versions of «trouser», even the good ones, using «t*****r» in the search and replace function.
    I tried the «*» character, but it's not the jocker.
    Thank you for your help !

    As I can't edit my first message, just wanted to let you know it's also called «wildcard» characters

  • Search and replace of "para, para" to "para" removes styles

    I have a supplied Pages doc to me which contains lots of styles. There are two paragraph breaks at the end of every paragraph. I want only one paragraph break but when I "Search and Replace" two paragraph marks replacing with one paragraph mark "Styles" are lost.  How can I do this and retain Styles?

    Hi!
    If you use the advanced option in Find and Replace you have the option to select which Style your find and replace shall be used on. This way you can do it Style by Style and hopefully not losing the style. But, there might be instances where the first paragraph break and the second one have different styles, then this regim wont work and you have to do it manually.

Maybe you are looking for
