Search and Replace with a picture

Is it possible to search for a specific text (i.e. :-) ) and replace it with a picture (a smiley) throughout the entire document (all text areas)
Thanks for any help!

Ahh found it.
in the dialog you can put in replace with: ^c
if you copy the picture you just need to replace it and it works. pretty sweet

Search and replace with wildcard?

I always use search and replace with Homesite but I wonder if
there is a way of using a wildcard? I often want to replace text at
the beginning and end of variable text. I mean, if I have this:
<h3>First text</h3>
<h3>Second text here</h3>
What I'd like is, using the * as a wildcard, is to use
something like this:
Replace <h3>*</h3> with <h2>*</h2>
Any ideas? Thanks

Make a backup first, in case this doesn't work (although it should).
Use this in the Find field:
countryText = "([^"]*)";
And this in the Replace field:
<countryText>$1</countryText>

Search and replace with comma

Hello All,
I want some help. Please help me.
I have comma delimited Data. When I’m converting Sting to Array, If two commas exists in between then its displaying “Zero” (because its array propriety ). Instead of that I want to display “NaN” .
Please give me any idea to replace comma to NaN. I tried with Search and Replace but it’s not giving as I expected.
Munna
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello GerdW,
Thanks you so much for your reply.
I thought, instead of replacing trailing comma by NaN adding comma before string is more better (because to many string manipulations) But, it’s taking more execution time.

Search and replace with relative paths

On my 4GB site, each page has a relative link to a single
image in a top folder. I want to get rid of all the images. How do
I search for <img src="Access/images/woCmt.gif"> and an img
with any number of relative links such as <img
src="../Access/images/woCmt.gif"> or <img
src="../../Access/images/woCmt.gif"> or more ../s in the src
path. I want a single find to replace each img tag (to that image)
with nothing, that is delete each one. I've looked at using regular
expression with * with no success.

Have you tried: [\.\/]*
That will match zero or more . or / characters (which are
special
Regular Expression characters, so they need to be escaped).
HTH,
Randy

Search and replace, with pattern matching using a table

I need to inspect a data stream and standardise a set of codes. I need to
1. Match any patterns with a dash character and remove the dash and any following characters, eg BN-S -> BN, BN-SH -> BN, ARG-22 -> ARG, etc.
2. Make a few specific word for word replacements, eg, PAEDSH -> PAED
This is easy to hard code but can it be done using a table of regex substitutions? Can anyone give a pointer or link to some example code? The couple of regex replacement examples I've found use regex to locate but hard code substitutions.
Thanks

You could store all your patterns in a Map. Then iterate over the map inserting the patterns into a regex.

Using a variable in a Powershell search and replace string

Hi
a couple of days ago I posted a question about doing a search and replace with wildcards
Search and repalce with Widcards
I got a swift and very helpful answer but now I need to build on it.
In a text file I wanted to replace all the text between two defined words. the script I got was this
$text = 'Some Server this bit of text varies Language stuff'
$text -replace '(.*Server) .+? (Language.*)','$1 it will always say this $2'
It works great but now I want to replace "it will always say this" with a variable and I can't figure out the correct grammar to make this happen.
Can anyone help??
Thanks
Alex

Here's one way:
$replace = 'it will aways say this'if ( $text -match '(.*Server) .+? (Language.*)' )
{ "{0} $Replace {1}" -f $matches[1,2] }
else { $text }
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

Search and Replace String throwing the wrong error message with regexp?

This came up in a LAVA thread, and I'm not sure if there's a bug here or not. When using Search and Replace string, and using a regular expression of [(G[b|i])], LabVIEW throws error -4622, "There is an unmatched parenthesis in a regular expression." There are obviously no unmatched parenthesis in that expression, so it seems to me that the wrong error is being thrown. I'm just not sure if that's a syntactically valid regexp. The problem seems to be with nesting [ ]'s inside ( )'s inside [ ]'s. I've tried a couple of regexp resources on the Web, and one suggests it's valid, while the other seems to think it isn't.

I think your regexp is invalid.
In regexps, brackets are not the same as parentheses. Parens are for grouping, while brackets are for matching one of a class of characters. Brackets can not be nested.
If the regexp is replaced with [G[bi]], there is no error, so it's not a matter of nested brackets. I couldn't find anything on the PCRE man page that forbids nested brackets specifically, but it makes sense.
Your expression "[(G[bi])]", therefore parses as a character class which matches '(', 'G', '[', 'b', or 'i' followed by an unmatched paren, and an unmatched bracket.
I don't believe that's the case. Replace the regexp with [(Gbi)], and the error goes away. So it's not a matter of the '(' being literal, and then encountering a ')' without a matching '('.
daveTW wrote:
what string exactly you want to replace? I think the round braces are not right in this case, since they mark partial matches which are given back by "match regular expression". But you don't want to extract parts of the string, you want to replace them (or delete, with empty <replace string>). So if you leave the outer [( ... )] then your RegEx means all strings with either "Gb" or "Gi".
It's not my regular expression. A poster at LAVA was having problems with one of his (a truly frightening one), and this seemed to be the element that was causing the problem. I'm pretty sure that the originator of the regexp meant to use G(b|i), which seems like a complicated way of matching "Gb" or "Gi", if you ask me.

Problem with search and replace

I'm workin on Windows XP, Dreamwearver 8
When I do a search and replace in a site, the changes will be
made correctly, however, the auto date stamp that I'm using on my
pages will duplicate on random pages and overwrite text This
doesn't occur on all pages, and isn't connected with the actual
change I'm making. Has anyone experienced this?

Ok Gary, but...
in a SQLWorksheet write:
ababab
Now Edit -> Replace search for b , replace with \nb
Result (the last b is not replaced):
a
ba
bab
At this point, I want to have my string back on one line: Edit -> Replace search for \n , replace with (nothing here)
Result: The search text "\n" was not found.
And to make it work I have to tick the Regular Expressions checkbox (in this case substitute escaped characters is ignored).
While I agree that "it is good to have a choice", I personally find it confusing: none of the few text editors I use (Linux or OSX) behaves this way.
Regards.

Search given string array and replace with another string array using Regex

Hi All,
I want to search the given string array and replace with another string array using regex in java
for example,
String news = "If you wish to search for any of these characters, they must be preceded by the character to be interpreted"
String fromValue[] = {"you", "search", "for", "any"}
String toValue[] = {"me", "dont search", "never", "trip"}
so the string "you" needs to be converted to "me" i.e you --> me. Similarly
you --> me
search --> don't search
for --> never
any --> trip
I want a SINGLE Regular Expression with search and replaces and returns a SINGLE String after replacing all.
I don't like to iterate one by one and applying regex for each from and to value. Instead i want to iterate the array and form a SINGLE Regulare expression and use to replace the contents of the Entire String.
One Single regular expression which matches the pattern and solve the issue.
the output should be as:
If me wish to don't search never trip etc...,
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks In Advance,
Kathir

As stated, no, it can't be done. But that doesn't mean you have to make a separate pass over the input for each word you want to replace. You can employ a regex that matches any word, then use the lower-level Matcher methods to replace the word or not depending on what was matched. Here's an example: import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Test
static final List<String> oldWords =
      Arrays.asList("you", "search", "for", "any");
static final List<String> newWords =
      Arrays.asList("me", "dont search", "never", "trip");
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    String str = "If you wish to search for any of these characters, "
        + "they must be preceded by the character to be interpreted";
    System.out.println(doReplace(str));
public static String doReplace(String str)
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\b\\w+\\b");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    while (m.find())
      int pos = oldWords.indexOf(m.group());
      if (pos > -1)
        m.appendReplacement(sb, "");
        sb.append(newWords.get(pos));
    m.appendTail(sb);
    return sb.toString();
} This is just a demonstration of the technique; a real-world solution would require a more complicated regex, and I would probably use a Map instead of the two Lists (or arrays).

Search and Replace "Column Break" with "Page Break"?

Hi,
I have been using the "column break" where I really should have been using the "page break". The page break just makes more sense in my layout.
Is there anyway to search and replace the column break with a page break?
Thanks,

Search and replace formulas with AppleScript

Thanks to this forum I've found out that it is possible to search and replace text by other text or formulas with AppleScript in Numbers 3.2
Does anybody have a script to search and replace a formula or a part of a formula by another formula or a partial formula.
For example:
I would like to be able to find:
= Table1::$b$3
and replace this by:
= Table1::$b$4

De Signature,
Would this approach work for you...
This is a very neat way edit a complex formula in a single cell....
a) Copy and Paste the formula to a new black page in Pages,
b) Do your Find and Replace, then
c) Copy and Paste the formulae back into the cell in Numbers.
It works like a charm.
Here is an example of how I used this approach...
Original cell formulae:
=AVERAGE(
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),1),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),2),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),3),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),4),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),5),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),6),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),7),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,1,0,20,1),8))
Final version of formulae:
=AVERAGE(
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),1),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),2),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),3),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),4),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),5),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),6),
SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),7),SMALL(OFFSET(K3,N1,0,20,1),8))
Find Replace: be cautious with the Find, to ensure it is unique, in my this example ",1,", to avoid changing the" ,1)"
Enjoy...

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.

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.
