Regex - Find a word

Greetings all
I want to find a particular word in a string
example string: SELECT CUSTOMER.STUDENT."NAME", CUSTOMER.STUDENT." FROM DATE" FROM CUSTOMER.STUDENT
i want to grab the FROM WORD from the above string .
search condition: There must be a space before and after the FROM word and FROM word should not contain double quote before and after.
as you can see in the above string there is a string named " FROM DATE " .this string also contains FROM word , i want to exclude this type of FROM word .
your advice and suggestion would be great :)

My advice is don't post the same question multiple times. It pisses people off and makes them less likely to be helpful.

  • How to find a word with different font format (e.g. italic and regular in one word)

    Hi people,
    I need to find a word, prefferably using GREP or simple Find/Replace tool.
    Sometimes, when I get source text to paste into InDesign, some word's format is messed up. First letter is italic and rest is regular or otherwise (or any other font format). How can I find such words automatically. For example:

    would really appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    If I had to do that, using Multi-Find/Change, I would play it like:

  • Finding a word within a string

    Hey everyone,
    Just having a little trouble with something.
    I'm trying to find a word -- that is, not a substring, an actual word as defined by the english language -- within a string.
    For example I don't want "hell" to be found in "hello".. only "hello" to be found.
    Currently i've got two strings, one is the sentance (String input), and one is the word to be found in the sentance (String word). I need the program to find the WORD, and then go back and search for the word again and again and again until it reaches the end of the string.
    This is what I've got thus far:
              for(i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
                   // This statement checks the string "input" for the string "word" starting at offset 0 (as this is what the variable was first defined as)
                   if(input.indexOf(word, offset) >= 0)
                        // If it finds the word at all, this line increases the offset ahead of this word so it doesn't simply find the same word again
                        offset = offset + (input.indexOf(word)) + (word.length());
                        times++;
              }At the moment this searches for the sub-string, not the WORD which is what I would like it to do.
    What's the easiest way of going about this? I've been fiddling around trying to add extra sections to the if statement, for example
    if((input.indexOf(word, offset) >= 0) && (input.charAt(offset +1) == 32))(32 as in the ASCII character for a space, which would do what I wanted it to do)
    But I eventually get errors because at some stage or another the charAt is going to be higher than the actual length of the String. Plus, this only looks if there's a space next to the word - a word can be valid if it has a ! next to it for example, or a comma...
    Thanks for any help :)

    I think there's a word boundary marker in regex. So it'd be "\\w+hello\\w+" or whatever the marker is, to be used with a Pattern instance.

  • How to use Class Pattern to find match word ?

    Hi All:
    Now I want find some words in a article . for example , I want to find a word ---"book" . For this purpose , I use java.util.regex.Pattern to do that . Following is my code
    String tmpStr = ".*?[\\W]+book[\\W]+.*?";                         
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(tmpStr);
    Matcher m = p.matcher(testStr);                // assume testStr is the article
    while ( (m1.find()) ) {
             System.out.println("find");
    }                    However , this code only help me to find some like " book " , " book! " , " !book " . But I also want to find some like "book " or " book" , since there aren't space before book or no space after book . How can I correct my code to do that ?
    Thanks in advance

      String tmpStr = "\\bbook\\b";

  • Find whole word

    How i can find whole words only in a string?
    If we have a string like "Hello any person in any part of world" And User searches for "an"
    in normal search, he finds 2 match But he must find it only if the string has contained "an" as a whole word  like "this is an apple"
    It may be possible.

  • How to find a word written with two fonts...?

    Hi,
    I have a 200+ pages document that contains some words with the first letter in Times regular and the rest in Times italic. Is there any way to find those words in the document?
    Thanks

    Ooooo, Dave ....
    Annabelle, a non scripting solution is the following.
    You cannot search for words with multiple fonts. However, since you can search for words in one font, you can exclude 'good' ones.
    I will be assuming you have a regular document, with just black text ...
    In Search & Replace, GREP, search for "\b\w+\b" with a font style of "Regular" and replace with formatting: text color red. Be sure not to accidentally put anything in the replace text field -- it should be entirely empty. Now all entirely Regular words are red.
    Repeat with the font style "Italic". Now all words that are entirely Regular or Italic are in red.
    Search for "\b\w+\b" with a text color of Black. This will find all words that are neither entirely in Italic nor entirely in Regular.
    In case you never used it before, the GREP expression means "a word boundary -- one or more word characters -- a word boundary". Essentially, it does a 'Find entire word' for any length of words.
    Note that if you have words in, say, bold, bold italic, or 46 Light Italic, you will have to mark these as well with the check colour, or else you'll also find them 'bad'.
    You might want to create a new swatch for marking, so you can delete it afterwards, replacing with Black again.
    ... Are you familiar with how to use scripts? It might be a bit easier if I wrote a tiny script, although my method will find all rogue formatted text.

  • The Firefox find function seems to have become CAPS or non-caps specific, so that typing a word in non-caps will not find matching words with one or more capital letter.

    The find function seems to have changed in Firefox. Before, when doing a (CTRL + F) find, the search was not CAPS-specific or non-caps-specific. In other words, if I typed in "firefox" (no caps), it would find the words "firefox", Firefox", or "FIREFOX", regardless of capitalization. Now, however, the find function will only match the exact same capitalization. This totally undermines the usefulness of the function, and is a major hassle. Please fix it.

  • Find/Change words (with GREP) and apply a style...

    I need a Script for Find/Change words with GREP, and apply a paragraph style...
    Thanks...

    Hi Marcos,
    If you want the script to create character styles: Bold , Italic, Bold Italic, etc, and replace local formatting with these styles, use scripts in post #3.
    But if you want find and change words, or/and replace local formatting with styles defined by you, use FindChangeByList script.
    If the latter, I recommend you to download and install Record Find Change script (written by Martin Fisher).
    Then choose settings you need in Find-Change dialog – make sure they work as expected – and run Record Find Change script. A Notepad/TextEdit file will pop up with a line containing the recorded setting. Copy it, open FindChangeList.txt, delete the contents of this file and paste the line you just copied (or add it to the bottom of the file).
    Repeat the process for all find-change operations you need.
    Finally run FindChangeByList.jsx to make all changes in one go.
    However, while using Record Find Change script, you may encounter a problem: it doesn’t record paragraph and character styles placed inside a group. But you can write references to such styles like so:
    appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1"). paragraphStyles.item("Paragraph Style 1")

  • How do I find duplicate words in a Numbers spreadsheet?

    Hello, I've created my first document on Numbers and am trying to figure out how to find duplicate words. Ideally, a list of words that repeat in the document and how many times. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for the advice

    It's easy enough to find and count duplicate entries, especially if they are all in a single column, but if you want to count individual words within multi word entries, the problem is more complicated.
    Here's an example for the 'simple' case, using a familiar 155 word passage from English literature.
    The words in the passage are separated into a single line for each word, and stripped of all punctuation. This may be done in Pages, or in Text edit, or in pretty much any word processing software or text editor. Paste the passage into a WP or text document, then use the application's Find/Replace feature to replace all of the spaces with returns. I would also do a second pass replacing all double returns with single returns, then repeat that until Find/Replace reported replacing zero occurrences.
    Punctuation was stripped using Find/Replace
    The prepared list was pasted into column A of a Numbers table.
    Formulas:
    B2: =COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
    C2: =IF(AND(B>1,B=COUNTIF($A,A2)),ROW()-1,999999)
    Fill both down their respective columns to the end of the table.
    The small table is inserted as a Basic table using the Tables button. It contains a Header row, but no Header columns.
    Formula:
    A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Table 1 :: $C,ROW()-1),COLUMN()-1),"")
    Fill right into B2, then fill both down to the end of the table.
    Descriptions of the functions used, along with their syntax and at least one example of their use in a table are available in the Numbers '09 User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.

                                             }else if (s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                                              }What is wrong with it because I tried to find "every Tuesday" in
    myfile.txt: "Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday"
    There is big problem with split statement because it takes each word not more than a word.
    I need to have "every Tuesday" not "Tuesday". How to make it correct codes?

    I am going to give you a picture of how the output will look.
    Here are two sentences from myfile.txt:
    Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday
    Meet with research students on Thursday
    I need to read from myfile.txt and to find specific words in each sentences like this output:
    Every Tuesday : Go fishing
    Every Wednesday : Go fishing
    Thursday : Meet with research students
    Ok. make sense? Now I am trying to figure out how to find specific words in each sentence from myfile.txt.
    That is why I have difficult with the splits statement and loops. Like this:
           public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
                String result = "";
                String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
              for (String s1: s){
                   for (String s2: days){
                        if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                             if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                             }else if(s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                             }else if(s2.matches("Thursday")){
                             }else{
                                  System.out.println("That sentence is not working");
                return result;
      }So look at the "Thursday" it is working the output because I have split statement to give me only one word not more than
    a word in sentence. So there is big problem with more than a word in sentence like this "every Tuesday" and it won't work at all because of split. Could you please help me how to do that? I appreciated for that help. Thanks.

    I need to find all words that are NOT in quotation makrs
    For example:
    Hello and "Good Morning"
    I would want to find the words:
         Hello
         and
    but not the words:
         Good
         Morning
    I tried with lookahead and lookbehind like this:
    (?!=")\w+(?!")
    but it just selects one character less
    If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
    Thanks in advance
    Davey

    Hey guys!
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    @Beginner_X
         Your first grep was almost perfect, however, it didnt find the first word of a story (since it didnt follow a space or a return)
         Your second post worked perfectly!! - Thanks a lot
    @csm_phil
         I was looking to select each word separately, not consecutive words - although this will also come in handy
         Your grep worked, however I had to add the question mark to make it ungreedy
         because if the sentence had 2 quoted words, it would select from the beginning of the line till the last quote
    @Laubender
         For some reason your grep is functioning just like mine - it finds the word Good and Morning
    Thanks again
    Davey

  • Need help: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.

    I am having issues trying to generate a pdf from a robohelp 7 html project.  Whenever I try to generate a pdf I get the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system."
    I have tried to uninstall both Office (2003) and robohelp, re-installing office first and then robohelp, but it doesn't help.  Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

    Colum,
    Thanks for the reply, but it's Microsoft Office, not Open Office.
    I have read many threads here and tried most of the suggestions, up to and including:
    Uninstall/Reinstall of Office and RH 7
    Adjusting Macro security
    comparing registry entries
    There are others but I can't think of them all right now.  Point being, nothing has worked thus far.  I must admit this is fairly frustrating but I haven't given up yet.  Any more suggestions are welcome, and I will review the link you gave me just to make sure I cover all my bases.

  • RH9 - Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system

    Having just installed five seats of the TCS 3 upgrade on Laptops with Office 2010 previously installed, three of them are encountering errors when generating Printed Documentation.  RH9 throws up a error dialog - "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system"
    What is the fix to have RH9 recognize Office 2010?
    Thanks,
    W.

    No, the other two were using the right-click/Properties approach. When tried, the left click on "Printed Documentation" method did not find Word 2010.
    Yes these were upgrades, installed after uninstalling TCS2.  Adobe claims two versions can coexist on one drive, but I also agree that is not the case.
    It would appear to be a bona fide bug, but I can't believe Adobe would let something like this slip...

  • Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system

    Hi,
    Wonder if anyone can help...
    I just tried to generate my printed documentation in RoboHelp
    and everytime I try I get the error message 'Cannot find Microsoft
    Word installed on your system'.
    It is installed, and when I go to Tools > Options >
    Tool Locations you can see it is pointing to the right location
    (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE).
    This is the first project I have done with RoboHelp 7.0 on
    Vista- does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    First, thanks to Wkugelman for this new initiative. I think
    we are a big step nearer, but not quite there yet.

    If I manually type in the path to the shortcut, RoboHelp

    This happens to me on XP too, so there must be some other
    problem. I do have adminsistrator rights on this PC. Here's what I
    do
    1) Find WINWORD.EXE and create a shortcut to it on my
    desktop. I rename it to WINWORD.EXE
    2) In RH. Menu:Tools > Options > Tab:Tool Locations
    > Pane: HTML Editors
    3) Select the line Word 2003 and click the Edit... button to
    change the path
    4) I get a popup called HTML Editor with Word 2003 grayed out
    above, and a path selector text box below.
    5) Now it doesn't matter whether I use the path browser icon
    and navigate to my new shortcut, or whether I enter the path
    manually. When I click OK I get a popup saying the path is invalid
    or I return to the HTML Editor popup but the path to Word has not
    changed (it remains C:\Program Files\Microsoft
    Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE ).
    Notes: It doesn't matter whether the path is on C:\ where
    Program Files (with Office11 And Adobe Robohelp 7 reside), or on
    D:\ where my "My Documents" directory is with subdirectory My
    Robohelp projects.
    I have also played around with the two radio buttons at the
    bottom of the Tool Locations tab:
    * Auto-select editor and
    * Use default editor
    But to no avail. Can someone explain what these options
    change?
    If protections on the OFFICE11 directory or Winword
    executable are the problem, wouldn't it be simpler to loosen these
    so that RH can use it?
