Need help doing text search of Blob

I presently have a simple single table candidate tracking application that create records of candidate information and you attach their resume in a word format into a blob column named RESUME within the table.
I need to be able to do a full text boolean search of the attached documents, since we're going to use this to allow us to search an internal database for people with particular skill sets.
I'm not a DBA or a developer, I just started working with Oracle Application Express and need a simple way of creating this search feature.
I also need to add the search feature into a region for users to input search terms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try
http://tahiti.oracle.com/
in the list of books, look at 'TEX' for Oracle text.
Interesting you should bring this up. I'm slighly involved with US Transition team.
Many resumes are coming in.

Need help in text search

We have a many folders which contain a lot of pdf documents. We need to write a script and search for a particular keyword through all the pdf documents and print the path and filename which contains this keyword.
Thats it. I am new to Adobe and I do not know whether adobe has any API to do this and looking for some sample programs.
Thanks in Advance
Chari

You can use a batch process (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/BatchSeq_BatchSequences.96.1 .html) to scan through a collection of PDFs. You can also seach for words in a PDF using the getPageNthWord JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.486.html
So the batch process would be a JavaScript that loops through the pages of a document, loops through the words on each page, and if a match is found, it could write the file path (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.411.html) to the JavaScript console.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

Need help in building search query

Guys ..
Problem Description:
I have a huge table that is indexed using CONTEXT.
I want to write a search query that considers the following:
1. number of keywords match
2. takes care of spelling mistakes, synonyms and acronyms
3. proximity - the keywords should not be too far of each other.
e.g. I have this phrase: "Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Brake"
I was thinking of writing a query like:
SELECT SCORE(1) SCORE,
TEXT text
FROM MY_TABLE
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT, '(Horz | Horizontal) ACCUM (Stab | Stabilier) ACCUM Trim ACCUM (Brk | Break)', 1) >= 0
ORDER BY SCORE DESC
The results doesnt look satisfactory. I have not used "near" operator as i dont know how to use it.
Please help me as I am very much new to Oracle Text.

Well, I'm not going to write the function for you, but we can at least talk through a general strategy.
A lot depends on how you help your users on the front end -- for example, if they're searching a technical document, you may want to return results that aren't perfect matches but you do want to make sure the user picks 'mandatory' and 'useful' keywords in a way that lets you figure out which ones are really important. On the other hand, if you're google and have to handle queries like 'horizontal stabilizer trim brake' and 'were Pete and Jenny in the break room' then you run the risk of spending too much time looking for interesting words, almost doing a full-text search on the query trying to derive meaning.
So I'm going to presume that you have some control over what/how the users generate their searches so that finding keywords isn't the issue.
The plan will be to parse the query a bit to find the interesting words, clean them up, and weigh their importance, then use transformed data to build the query template to score various combinations.
So here's some pseudocode for the function:
function parse_query(pQueryWords in clob) returns clob as
begin
    generate_token_list (); -- split the query into a set of individual tokens/words
    for each token in token_list
        if it's a mandatory word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*10' -- weigh the presence of the token strongly
        if it's a useful word then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token ||'*5' -- domain-specific words are also important
        if it's a stopword or reserved word, then do not add it to the list
        if it's not on my lists, then accumtokenlist := accumtokenlist || ' ' || token
                                     and normaltokenlist := normaltokenlist ||' ' || token
    end;
    --so now, we have two lists, one for NEAR and one for ACCUM
    now build the guts of the template
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || normaltokenlist || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq> || replace (accumtokenlist, ' ',' ACCUM ') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>$' || replace(normaltokenlist,' ','$') || '</seq>';
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(accumtokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' accum ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then accum
        querytemplate := querytemplate || '<seq>? || replace(replace(normaltokenlist,' ',' ?'),' ', ' near ') || </seq>'; -- first fuzzy the words, then near
    return querytemplate
end;So, with a 'cooked' query text that is template-friendly, all we need to do is apply a template that is aware of your inputs:
query_Template_string := '
<query>
   <textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CONTEXT"> horizontal stabilizer*5 trim brake*10
     <progression> '
|| parse_query('horizontal stabilizer trim brake') ||
'     </progression>
   </textquery>
<score datatype="INTEGER" algorithm="COUNT"/>'
</query>So that's an example of one approach.

HELP! Need help generating TEXT-ONLY portal page...

Text Only Portal Question:
PLATFORM:
=================================================================
Sun Solaris (5.2 if memory serves) for db and mid-tier, running
8.1.7 DB and 3.0.9 (1.0.2.2) portal.
THE NEED:
=================================================================
I need to display text only portal pages. Some of the more
detailed concerns at this point are below. Also, I've had an open
tar on Metalink for about two weeks, and after research from
their end has resulted in no help.
THE ISSUES (so far):
=================================================================
IMAGES:
If an anchor [A HREF=...] tag uses an image as it's "text", I
need to strip out the ALT= text to show inside the anchor. If no
ALT text is available, then I would like to show the image name
as a default.
For example:
<img src=home.gif
alt=Home>
should display as:
Home
FORMS:
How do I get the resulting page from a form (which include the
login inputs and submit button, search box, advanced search page,
etc.) to be displayed by the text only page?
For example:
When a form is called, the <FORM> elements are as follows:
METHOD=GET or POST
ACTION=url (relative or absolute) to the script.
In this case, the action value is:
ACTION=/servlet/page?
pageid=6&dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30.
This calls the advanced search API.
I would expect that to redirect the browser back to some
text-only version, the ACTION= element would have to be changed
to be something like:
ACTION=[pathscraper]?/servlet/page?
pageid=6&dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
REDIRECTION:
What happens when portal pages redirect internally? How do you
get back to the text-only page?
For example:
The login link on the standard Oracle Portal home page flips
from url to url to get to the actual login page. Our
implementation of Oracle portal goes from
[DOMAIN]/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
to [domain]/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.login_page.
Since this is standard Oracle redirection, how can it be
intercepted so the portal30_sso.login_page can be presented as
text only?
TRIED SO FAR:
=================================================================
I've written a socket/text scraper in Perl, running it from a web
server. The problems mentioned above are really causing problems,
plus the whole cookie thing. Since Oracle Portal tries to push a
cookie to the client, when the client is another UNIX server,
the cookie thing doesn't work.
POSSIBLE OTHER SOLUTIONS:
=================================================================
Something...anything. I've tried to think of some method to
create some sort of PL/SQL procedure to catch the content then
strip out the HTML calls.
An Applet to do the same thing, but on the client side, but
since time is an issue, coding a complete Java applet isn't
really an option.
THE CONCLUSION:
=================================================================
HELP! I need some help. This is for a client that is government
funded, and to meet Section 508 (part of the Americans with
Disabilities Act that states web sites and applications must be
made accessible. A text-only page is one of the requirements for
an accessible page.
Thanks,
Ryan Stefani
ps: feel free to contact me via [email protected] or
[email protected]

Use Find/Change and the GREP tab.
Search for .+ and set the Find formatting to find the charcteristics you want.
What will you do with this text once found? You'll need something to "change" to, either new text or Change Formatting options...

Clarifications needed for full text search

Hi,
I need some clarification regarding full text search.
1) Is japanese part of the standard Oracle full text search?
2) if it is not, how to install the japanese lexer?
3) how oracle is sorting international characters. If a column contains both english, japanese and french, how will be the output?
Thanks

I am facing another problem in searching blob columns when it contains japanese or korean characters. I tried with multi lexer (adding japanese as sub lexer and making english as default lexer). But it is not searching the column. Do i have to set any other parameters (editing registry, changing enviornment setting etc). I used the following script to set the lexer.
begin
     ctx_ddl.create_preference('english_lexer','basic_lexer');
     ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','index_themes','yes');
     ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','theme_language','english');

I am trying to build app for searching BLOB content(mainly ppts and pdfs)
I am able to upload and download files as well but the below search code give me error.
Can you please review and advise what I am doing wrong or what needs to be fixed in the code.(ideally the code should give me the list of docs that have the search string I enter)
Code :
declare
v_name varchar2(100);
v_doc blob ;
begin
select name, doc into v_name,v_doc
from BLOB_TABLE
where CONTAINS(doc,:P2_GO)>0;
end;
Error I get when I run the code is :

should give list of docs??? Read this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/selectinto_statement.htm
SELECT...INTO can only return one single row, thats why you will get an ORA-01422

What are you trying to do with above code as I don't see any logic that uses those variables? and is this code inside an apex component?

Need Help Adding Text To A Template

I am using this template: http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/21091.html
I would like to add text as it opens, going across the flag, something like this....
Sam Young. Not Uncle Sam, but here to serve you!
Now, obviously, that's not what I want it to say, but it's an example, of how I want it to move across the page, on the flag, before it opens to the first page. I've tried everything I know to do. I'm sure I'm just missing something silly. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Wow... am I asking the impossible here? lol
I'm still looking for help with this, if anyone can help me.
I am searching for template help tutorials, and I don't know if I'm just calling it the wrong thing or what.
I want the text to scroll ACROSS the screen, on entry to the site, across one of the stripes on the flag. Every tutorial I have found tells you how to add scrolling text in the box, like paragraphs. I just want one line, a Welcome Message, if you will, that goes across the screen. I was able to do this in DHTML previously, but Flash is a whole new ball game for me.
Ok, I just did a search, and it's a MARQUEE that I want. So, I've searched, and found this: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-3601.html
So, I'll try that and see if it does what I want it to do.
I'm including all of this, in the event that someone else is interested.

Need help moving text

Using CS4 on Win7 Pro. My client bought a template that has a flash piece and I am a total novice in Flash but I do know that you edit the FLA file and export it as a movie. So I opened the FLA file and I'm able to edit the text (all that I want to do right now) but some of the text I'm replacing is longer than the original so it gets hidden under a replay button and some is shorter and is spaced too far away from the replay button (I also want to change the color of that and I think I can figure that one out). There is plenty of room to the left for the text to move to as the original file does have varying lengths of text and it does adjust for that but I can't figure out how to change it for what I've done (I haven't received the final text yet so this is a practice run)... I changed the text by going to the timeline and selecting text from the icon (Edit Symbols) in the upper right of the screen. But where do I tell it where the text should start or how wide it needs to be? I tried moving them individually in the timeline but that didn't change it.
Here's the file: http://do-rightweb.com/fertility/flash/header_vJT.fla (I only want to leave this up temporarily because it is huge. The test location of the file in action is here: http://do-rightweb.com/fertility/
In the future I may have to swap out some of the images leaving the transitions which I think I can do by adding them as a layer deleting the ones I'm replacing...
So if anyone can lend a hand in helping me figure out how to adjust the text width I would be totally jacked! Any help and advice about swapping images or changing colors would be greatly appreciated too. Or even a link to a video to help me understand how to reverse engineer this would be cool.
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance!

Hi,
Since the text animation is done using the timeline in this file you have to manually edit the positioning of the each symbol element in every keyframe i.e
You have to go in to the editing mode for txt_c instance of txt_2 > Layer 8 where the required elements are placed
1. You have to position the Layer 1(under Layer 8) items at every key frame for the display text
you may have problem while positioning second text onwards as you will not be seeing them on stage. For this you may want to duplicate the symbol(txt_5) at key frame 37 and edit it to have only the second text and remove everything else. And you can swap the existing symbols at key frame 44 and key frame 54. You can repeat this for the rest of the text.
2. Next you have to position the numbers which spread across three layers (txt_3, txt_4 and Layer 6) under Layer 8. They are for prefix number, suffix number and the dot respectively
Thanks!

Newbie needs help - doing a phone book - tips needed

Guys/Gals
Thanks for taking the time to read me.
I am a graphic designer, been working daily on Illustrator /Photoshop for years, I have InDesign CS3 installed on my computer (PC) and never worked on it, until today. I have a project of doing a phone book for a local organization.
There will be ads, and names/addresses and phone numbers (just like a yellow page book).
The names/phone numbers have been given to me in an Excel document. With over 3000 lines, 5 columns (name, address, street name, postal code and tel number).
MY QUESTIONS:
1- How do I put the Excel document inside InDesign? I want all pages to follow. If by any chance I add a name, I want the whole document to slide down one line..Or if I increase/decrease the font, I want the number of page to readjust automatically...you follow me?
As I said, I am a newbie in this program, so please give me the step by step on how to do this.
There will be ads and tabs added through the contents, and I do not want this to become a nightmare...
2- With past experience you may have had on similar projects, any other tips that I should think about before starting?How do I create an automatic page layout (numbers on the bottom, line over, etc)?
Thanks for all your help
Jack

2- With past experience you may have had on similar projects, any other tips that I should think about before starting?How do I create an automatic page layout (numbers on the bottom, line over, etc)?
Page numbers are comparatively easy; check out the sections in the help file about page numbering and master pages.
"Automatic page layout" is not really what ID does, so you're asking a very complicated question. "Line over" is called a "rule" in ID, and there's a few places where you could set that up. However, the best place is in the Paragraph Styles menu. You should get to know this menu very well before you even think about starting work.
This is not something that can be easily described in a step-by-step programmatic fashion; or, rather, it can, but you don't yet have the vocabulary to implement those steps. So, if I tried to describe the step-by-step instructions for using smart reflow (another help entry you should read, as that will answer 30% of your questions about having additional pages added on the fly), and you followed them to the letter, you'd still find yourself back here asking questions. Or perhaps accidentally munging your document according to a forum regular's instructions, simply because the forum-ites can't easily look over your shoulder as you work. However, if you already have a background in text manipulation in Illustrator, you'll be able to pop over the steepest part of the initial learning curve with comparatively little effort.
So...
If by any chane I add a name, I want the whole document to slide down one line..Or if I increase/decrease the font, I want the number of page to readjust automatically...you follow me?
As I said, I am a newbie in this program, so please give me the step by step on how to do this.
I'm pretty sure that Smart Reflow will handle this for you, but I've always found it to interfere with my working style, so I avoid it. I typically make whatever changes I want to the text, and then quickly go to the end of the document to see if I have text overflow. If I do, it's a very small number of keystrokes & clicks to add new pages, apply master pages to 'em, flow in new text, and so on.
There will be ads and tabs added through the contents, and I do not want this to become a nightmare...
Some more useful terms with which to search the help file: anchored objects, text wrap. As you can see, most of us responding to your post are advising that you study some before you start building your document. If you have significant Illustrator/Photoshop experience, you're not going to be completely lost. However, ID's text manipulation tools dwarf those of Illustrator, so you may be in for a bit of an unpleasant awakening if you expect ID to handle text with the automagical interference that you'd find in Word or Powerpoint or Publisher.

Need help with text() processing in XSL

Hello,
I have an xml that contains such text in my xml:
before<a>inside</a>after
and an xsl that transforms it to HTML (a cut for xsl):
<xsl:template match="a">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</xsl:template>
The result is: inside before after
but I need: before inside after
It seems it happens 'cause of this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict
but I cannot find a way to solve this problem :(
I had tried to use priority in xsl:template, but it didn't help :(
Thanks a lot.

DrClap
here are xml and xsl.
That's not a real xml and xsl, but they might describe the idea and problem. I hope I miss nothing.
P.S. I cannot control xml, that's why I cannot use: <xsl:text> in xml.
Thank you!
xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<title>Page title</title>
<page>
Location: <red>http://host</red>
</page>
</root>
xsl:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

Full text search in BLOB columns NOT Working

Hi, I am using Oracle 9i.
Presently I use following code to create index.
begin
Ctx_Ddl.Drop_Preference ('text_only');
end;
begin
Ctx_Ddl.Create_Preference ( 'text_only', 'basic_lexer');
Ctx_Ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'text_only', 'index_text', 'true' );
Ctx_Ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'text_only', 'index_themes', 'false' );
end;
CREATE TABLE MY_XML_DOCS(
XML_RES_ID NUMBER (16) NOT NULL,
XML_RES BLOB NOT NULL,
XML_RES_PATH VARCHAR2 (128),
XML_DOCS_CREATED_BY VARCHAR2 (16) NOT NULL,
XML_DOCS_CREATED_DT DATE NOT NULL,
XML_DOCS_MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2 (16),
XML_DOCS_MODIFIED_DT DATE ) ;
drop index FULL_TEXT_INDEX ;
create INDEX FULL_TEXT_INDEX ON MY_XML_DOCS(XML_RES)
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.CONTEXT
parameters ('lexer text_only stoplist ctxsys.empty_stoplist');
BEGIN
CTX_DDL.sync_index('FULL_TEXT_INDEX ','10M');
END;
And I've some XML documents stored in blob columns in the above table. But my query with 'contains' param does not return expected results.(it presently returns no results). Do I miss anything? Do I need to specify any thing else while I create the Index? Kindly advice.

I would agree the CLOB storage would be preferable for XML. If you are using BLOB storage, by default the documents are going to be FILTERed by the INSO_FILTERS. A BLOB column will give you reduced storage in a unicode environment though.
If you wish to store your data in a BLOB though, you should specify the NULL_FILTER in your create index statement to avoid having the INSO_FILTERS invoked.
Further, you may also require a CHARSET column in your table specifying the character set of your data for each row if it can vary. The Column should then also be specified in the 'PARAMETERS' clause of the create index statement, this way Oracle knows the correct character set to use when converting the binary data to character data.
My guess that you are not getting any query results because none of the documents are actually being indexed. Be sure to query the ctx_user_index_errors view to determine if you are getting errors at indexing time.

Need help removing text that is covering the document - Adobe Acrobat Standard X

I am trying to remove "preview only" that is splashed across our document diagonally. I can remove this on my computer which has Adobe Acrobat XI standard with content editing --> edit text and images (a cursor pops up and i can just use the delete button), but not on another computer with Adobe Acrobat X standard. The only thing we could do was add a red line over the "preview only" and delete that red line.
I did try to do my research, but all of the search ideas I was using didn't prove fruitful.
Any help or ideas you could provider, I would certainly appreciate.
Thank you in advance.

Hey courtney evans,
Please let me know how have you sent the PDF file on other computer.
Also, are you viewing the file in a browser or downloading it and then opening in Acrobat.
Is the document scanned?
Please specify and let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
