Search files which filename contains a speicific string

Hi
I'm lookng for a way to find all files in a directory which part of filename contains a specific string.
e.g.:
string = hello
files;
- 1hello2.txt
- 22he45.txt
- gehello42353.txt, ....
The result should be either an index or the complete filename that matches. In the example I'd found index 0 and 2, or 1hello2.txt and gehello42353.txt.
Actually I have the list of the files with the "recursive list.vi".
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your precious help

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use List Folder - function with *hello* -pattern.
From there you get filenames, which include that specific pattern.
If you allready have list of files:
- use Scan string for tokens in a for loop and if token index != -1, then you can add that array index to the list.
I´m sure there are better ways to do this, but nothing I can come up with quickly.

Can't create file with filename contains user-defined character

Dear all,
I got a question about directory listing and file creation. My development OS is Win2K traditional chinese version and my JDK is 1.4.0 Internationation version.
My program copy each of file into another directory. I call File.lists() to get an array of filename String, I then create the file in the destination directory. However, I got error while the filename contains some chararters that I created in my system only by Win2K character creation utility. I found those characters become "?" if I printf them. How could I overcome this problem? Thanks.

The limitation here is not caused by Java at all.
Java handles UNICODE characters, the concept of ASCII characters is only loosely retained by accident, mainly because the ASCII set is retained as is in UNICODE.
The limitation here is the Operating System whose filesystem does not support UNICODE names. As far I as can remember, although the System default locale can be your language equivalent, the filesystem does not necessarily support UNICODE filenames even though it may actually be able.
What you need to do is check the file.encoding property in Java and set that using the -Dfile.encoding=BIG-5 or whatever when starting your application. This may help with the file name problem.

Sender file adapter - filename containing * does not work

Hi All,
I am doing simple file-file scenario wherein my filename is something like
MATMAS05_XI20070911-150159-088.xml
there are many files having similar kind of name which are supposed to be picked
so simply I can go on writing <b>MATMAS05_XI*.xml</b> in filename
it is not working.. communication monitoring gives error <i>Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "10.25.117.237:21": java.lang.NullPointerException</i>
But when I use character '?' then it works fine - '?' placeholder for each extra character
I am on SP 20.My adapter is configured properly. FTP server working fine with '?' or simple filename. So bit confused why it is not working with *
Are there some BASIS settings which have to be in place to work it out with * ?
All your inputs are welcome !!
Thank You,
Mugdha kulkarni

Hi
this error is not related to multimple files or sending with the * char.. you can use it
see the below link
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The error related to the server connection.. also check the ip address is correct or not you configured correctly or not..

Grep command to search files which have names of same pattern

Hi,
I am new to solaris.
I am trying to grep all the files in a directory which have names of same pattern.
I had done this in linux but in solaris it is not working.
e.g. i have two files setup.log and setup.log.full
grep -l 'setup*' *
by this command it works fine on linus but on solaris it is not working.
Please let me know where am i wrong.
regards,

How many files do you have in this directory? It could be that the expansion of the file list is too large for the shell to handle? Or that first asterisk is expanding to something unusable. I'm surprised this works in Linux. What shell are you using in Linux and what shell are you using in Solaris? What error message do you get when you try to run this in a Solaris system?
Maybe try to use something like this:
ls -1 | awk '{ print "grep -l "$1" "$1 }' | sh

How should I create JAR file which contain JMF library and project classes

Hi,
I installed the JMF windows pack. I compiled and ran successfully myApplet (which use JMF librarie) in Internet Explorer on my machine. When I run this applet on some different machine, where JMF isn�t installed- it�s not running.
There is an error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/ControllerListener
I was trying to create jar file, which contain librarie JMF.jar and all other files which are require to run myApplet (*.jar, *.class, the files from folder �MyApplet�) and run it on the other computer. It still doesn�t work.
Also I ran a JMF Customizer and created customize.jar but this file contains only JMF classes. I don�t know how add other files to it.
How should I create a jar file which will contains all essential files to run myApplet on other machine (something like �All In One� J )
I�m using Eclipse.
Can somebody help me?.
Thank You!

Move Files By FileName

I have a load of files that are desposited on my user desktop via ftp. Each of these files begins with the same six letters. It is a pain to select all of the files manually and then pull them into a folder. I have looked extensively and have tried unsuccessfully to create an applescript that will accomplish the following action:
Take the files with fileNames containing "XXXXX" (or beginning with "XXXXX") at "mac HD:user:me" and move them to the folder "XXXXX" at "mac HD:user:me."
These files all end with the same extension, so I could also delimit the files to be moved by using their extension, if that is a better solution.
Lastly, it would be great if I could also set the above action to occur automatically at some interval.
I can't imagine that prescribing the above sort of action is difficult via applescript, but I must admit that a solution eludes me. If someone happens to have a script that accomplishes this sort of action that they might share, please let me know.
Thanks

Twtwtw is right: there should never be a colon in any file name!
I've put four JPEG files on my desktop, sequentially named “XXXX# - 20130410s132159265.jpg”, “XXXX# - 20130410s132159266.jpg”, “XXXX# - 20130410s132159267.jpg” and “XXXX# - 20130410s132159268.jpg” (but without any colon in their names). Then I created a folder named “XXXX” in my home folder. Then I run the following script:
set theDestinationFolder to POSIX file "/users/pierre/XXXX" as alias
tell application "Finder"
move (files of desktop whose name begins with "XXXX") to theDestinationFolder
end tell
The four files were properly moved to the destination folder, while the following result was displayed in the AppleScript Editor Result panel:
{document file "XXXX# - 20130410s132159265.jpg" of folder "XXXX" of folder "pierre" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder", document file "XXXX# - 20130410s132159266.jpg" of folder "XXXX" of folder "pierre" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder", document file "XXXX# - 20130410s132159267.jpg" of folder "XXXX" of folder "pierre" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder", document file "XXXX# - 20130410s132159268.jpg" of folder "XXXX" of folder "pierre" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"}

Script to search all files in specified folder for multiple string text values listed in a source file and output each match to one single results txt file

I have been searching high and low for this one. I have a vbscript that can successfully perform the function if one file is listed. It does a Wscript.echo on the results and if I run this via command using cscript, I can output to a text file
that way. However, I cannot seem to get it to work properly if I want it to search ALL the files in the folder. At one point, I was able to have it create the output file and appear as if it worked, but it never showed any results when the script
was executed and folder was scanned. So I am going back to the drawing board and starting from the beginning.
I also have a txt file that contains the list of string text entries I would like it to search for. Just for testing, I placed 4 lines of sample text and one single matching text in various target files and nothing comes back. The current script
I use for each file has been executed with a few hundred string text lines I want it to search against to well over one thousand. It might take awhile, but it works every time. The purpose is to let this run against various log files in a folder and
let it search. There is no deleting, moving, changing of either the target folder/files to run against, nor of the file that contains the strings to search for. It is a search (read) only function, going thru the entire contents of the folder and
when done, performs the loop function and onto the next file to repeat the process until all files are searched. When completed, instead of running a cscript to execute the script and outputting the results to text, I am trying to create that as part
of the overall script. Saving yet another step for me to do.
My current script is set to append to the same results file and will echo [name of file I am searching]: No errors found. Otherwise, the
output shows the filename and the string text that matched. Because the results append to it, I can only run the script against each file separately or create individual output names. I would rather not do that if I could include it all in one.
This would also free me from babysitting it and running each file script separately upon the other's completion. I can continue with my job and come back later and view the completed report all in one. So
if I could perform this on an entire folder, then I would want the entries to include the filename, the line number that the match occurred on in that file and the string text that was matched (each occurrence). I don't want the entire line to be listed
where the error was, just the match itself.
Example: (In the event this doesn't display correctly below, each match, it's corresponding filename and line number all go together on the same line. It somehow posted the example jumbled when I listed it)
File1.txt Line 54
Job terminated unexpectedly
File1.txt Line 58 Process not completed
File1.txt
Line 101 User input not provided
File1.txt
Line 105 Process not completed
File2.txt
No errors found
File3.txt
Line 35 No tape media found
File3.txt
Line 156 Bad surface media
File3.txt Line 188
Process terminated
Those are just random fake examples for this post.
This allows me to perform analysis on a set of files for various projects I am doing. Later on, when the entire search is completed, I can go back to the results file and look and see what files had items I wish to follow up on. Therefore, the
line number that each match was found on will allow me to see the big picture of what was going on when the entry was logged.
I actually import the results file into a spreadsheet, where further information is stored regarding each individual text string I am using. Very useful.
If you know how I can successfully achieve this in one script, please share. I have seen plenty of posts out there where people have requested all different aspects of it, but I have yet to see it all put together in one and work successfully.
Thanks for helping.

I'm sorry. I was so consumed in locating the issue that I completely overlooked posting what exactly I was needing help with. I did have one created, but I came across one that seemed more organized than what I originally created. Later
on I would learn that I had an error in log location on my original script and therefore thought it wasn't working properly. Now that I am thinking that I am pretty close to achieving what I want with this one, I am just going to stick with it.
However, I could still use help on it. I am not sure what I did not set correctly or perhaps overlooking as a typing error that my very last line of this throws an "Expected Statement" error. If I end with End, then it still gives same
results.
So to give credit where I located this:
http://vbscriptwmi.uw.hu/ch12lev1sec7.html
I then adjusted it for what I was doing.
What this does does is it searches thru log files in a directory you specify when prompted. It looks for words that are contained in another file; objFile2, and outputs the results of all matching words in each of those log files to another file: errors.log
Once all files are scanned to the end, the objects are closed and then a message is echoed letting you know (whether there errors found or not), so you know the script has been completed.
What I had hoped to achieve was an output to the errors.log (when matches were found) the file name, the line number that match was located on in that file and what was the actual string text (not the whole line) that matched. That way, I can go directly
to each instance for particular events if further analysis is needed later on.
So I could use help on what statement should I be closing this with. What event, events or error did I overlook that I keep getting prompted for that. Any help would be appreciated.

Search 'filename contains' in finder. Help please

Hello. I need to search my filesystem for any files containing the words "foo" (for example). Currently, when I type 'foo' into my finder search bar, it returns only those filenames starting with the word 'foo'. Can anyone tell me the way to adjust search behavior to search filenames containing 'foo' instead of starting with 'foo'?
Thanks!

That's odd: if I open the Applications folder, then do a Command-F search, with the criterion of
"Name contains and"
on the Apps folder, I get 143 results, including things like
GarageBand
GrandPerspective
HandBrake
Random Spheres.bmp
copyLibFile.command
bread and wine
CopyAndPaste.js
And so on. If I add the restriction, "Kind is Applications" I get four results:
GrandPerspective
PandoCalendar
HandBrake
GarageBand
HOWEVER, if I leave the restriction "Kind is Applications" and delete the "Name Contains" criterion, and instead put and in the Search for field I get this bewildering result:
CSSEdit
Xee
Neither seems to have anything to do with my Search for term. Looking at the metadata which is indexed I see both do have the actual word "and" at some point in their metadata. Poking around a bit and thinking, I concluded that the only way to get a partial name search is to use the "Name contains" criterion. If you use the Search box with the only criterion being "Kind is Any" you will get:
1. Any file that has the word "and" in its content
2. Any file whose metadata contains the word "and"
3. A file where "and" is separated in the title by any method that Spotlight recognizes as a delimiter; thus you will get "Roll and Crash" and "Pen And Ink" and "FiveBySevenAndThreeH.txt" but not something like GarageBand.
The delimiters that I know about off-hand are capital letters, spaces, the underscore (thus something like "washanddry" would show up), and periods (so if a file was named "foo.and.txt" it would show up). There are probably others as well.

How to load a comma seprated text file which contain address in to sql server table using ssis package

Hi,
I want to load a file which is comma separated and contain address .Problem is that address its self comma seprated so how do I differenciate whether comma used for column seprator or it used in address.
for eg.
One person having address like
"c/o AB corp,156 cross lane,USA"
Thanks.....

Hi SR_MCTS,
Based on your description, you want to distinguish a comma is used for column separator or used in address column in a text file, then load the data from the text file to SQL Server table.
As per my understanding, if you can replace the comma column separator to another delimiter like semicolon (;), just do it. Then we can select Semicolon {;} as Column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager. Or ensure all columns are enclosed in double
quotes ("). Then we can set the double quotes (") as Text qualifier for the Flat File Connection Manager, and the commas will be loaded as part of the string fields.
If you can't have that done, because computers don't know the context of the data, you would have to come up with some kind of rules that decides when a comma represents a delimiter, and when it is just part of the text. I think a custom script component
would be necessary to pre-process the data, identify where a comma is part of an address, and then treat that as one field.
Thanks,

If you create a metadatatype with a single metdata block, and you reference that in your vm/cm cell attribute using a *one* based index, Excel seems to see the link and it honors it when saving the spreadsheet.
So, I ended up with something like:
<c ... cm="1"/> (I'm dealing with cell metadata, but the concept is equivalente to value metadata)
<metadataTypes count="1">
  <metadataType name="MyMetaType" .../>
</metadataTypes>
<futureMetadata count="1" name="MyMetaType">
