Search for a text in document

How do I search for a particular text and find the number of occurence of this text in a text file?

try this example using regular expressions.
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
     Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(test)");
     Matcher m = p.matcher("test asjd flkjasd kfjasd klftest asld?kjfaslkdftest aaaaab");
     int count = 0;
     while(m.find()) {
          count++;
     System.out.println(""+ count);

  • I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

How can I fix this?

    </head>
    i want to search for the author of the book "the beard" using for example the V.I Get first match  of labview to access the the node with value "the beard" and then use Get next sibling  V.I  and Get node text content to get get the author of this book..so my question is how do i write the xpath expression for Get first match so as to access the node with bookname "the beard" instantyly?  am trying to minimise the use of loops because they increase the time duration,..thank you (NB:i dont want to use Get all Matched V.I because it obliges me to use a loop in order to access the name derrick and this increases the time duration for my v.i)
    Solved!

    Since it's all text, why not use a real quick Match Pattern (or Regular Expression, but you don't need that much power here), see attached.

  • HT201285 Is there a way to search for deleted texts on the iphone 5c?

    Can I recover texts I have deleted?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • My group box is causing problems when searching for a text line in a text file.

    I am developing a booking system, so for this I need to ensure that no two clients can book the same appointment slot. So, on testing my code which prevents double booking, the system doesn't seem to find the text line being searched for in the text file
    when it (purposefully) should.
    I have tried isolating the problem using breakpoints, and I've found that when the 'SearchLine' (referring to my code below) does not include the 'TimeComboBox.text' piece and instead this value is written into the code, the system is able to find the SearchLine
    without any problems. But, when assigning the group box's value to a variable and using this in the SearchLine instead, or without even using a loop and just doing a simple line by line search, the program can't find this line of text in the file.
    I'm lost for ideas. I have tried everything I can think of. Could anyone make any suggestions as for what is the problem with my group box? (I'll explain the code beneath it).
    'Setting the value of the SearchLine (which is a String)
    SearchLine = String.Concat(DateTimePicker1.Value.Date & " " & TimeComboBox.text)
    Dim FoundApp As Boolean
    Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(basicfilepath & "Text Files\Client Booked Appointment DatesTimes.txt")
    FoundApp = False
    'Reading the file's contents and checking for the SearchLine
    Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) or (FoundApp = True)
    If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
    'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
    FoundApp = True
    Else
    'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
    Msgbox("Line not found.")
    End if
    Loop
    Explanation
    When the line is searched for, the 'FoundApp' value must be set to 'True' when it is found. If it is not found, it remains false.
    To isolate the problem, I've displayed the SearchLine in a message box in the past to make sure that the correct line of text is being searched for.
    In basic terms, my program is searching for the exact line of text which exists in the text file, but for some reason it is not coming up as 'Found'. The error occurs when the group box's value is used. The text file which is being read is
    definitely correct. Please help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi
    It would appear that your snippet doesn't actually read the file at all.
    Here is my test which works fine.
    Option Strict On
    Option Infer Off
    Option Explicit On
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Dim SearchLine As String = "18:09:38 : XTaskSettings.Load PARAMS: begin"
    Dim FoundApp As Boolean = False
    Dim TextLine As String = Nothing
    Dim objReader As New IO.StreamReader(Application.StartupPath & "\Data\Report Q1.txt")
    FoundApp = False
    Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) Or (FoundApp = True)
    ' this was missing
    TextLine = objReader.ReadLine
    If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
    'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
    FoundApp = True
    MsgBox("Line found.")
    Else
    'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
    MsgBox("Line not found.")
    End If
    Loop
    End Sub
    End Class

  • How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

    In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

    That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

  • Searching for a text file

    hi i want to search for a file in the same folder as my project and read the contents of that file ... i know how to read from text file but i just need to know how i can search in the folder to look for a txt file called me.txt and open it for reading.. any suggestions?
    thanks in advance
    please provide some code for me... thx alot

    Look at the File class in Java API. You can create a file object by passing the file name.
    Then you can check whether the file exists or not by using exist methos of the File. (Of course, you need to know the path of the file).

  • What is the Search for:-  All images/All documents/all movies for in Finder

    I am confused as to the purpose of Search for:- All images/documents/movies in Finder. I seem to have documents, pictures and music I have never seen or downloaded, and often photos I have actually downloaded are copied in triplicate sometimes more. I have at times got 10,000 items in my documents in Search for? My worry really is does this all take up memory on my computer and if so why is it happening and how do I stop it?
    I do hope someone can explain the purpose of the Search For?
    Jai309

    Thanks Kappy, I had thought that is what it probably was but just confused by all the items I never searched for or downloaded. Now that I know it doesn't take up any memory I shan't worry about it. When I deleted everything from the search for files all the photos in my iphoto and documents were also removed. (thankfully I always have my stuff backed up on hard drive) I guess one just shouldn't remove them? Is there a safe way to clear it out without loosing the stuff I need to keep?

  • Searching for a text in multiple vi's

    I have to search for a particular text ("c:\" to be exact) in files that make up a project (about 350 of them). (My task is to replace absolute paths with relative paths). I tried to search within files using windows explorer search feature but it reurned no result (maybe the vi's are not stored as text files). So how may I achieve the given task?
    (Thanks in advance to all those good people out there who help people like us. What would I do without your guidance? Have a very productive valentine's day)

    In LV 7.1 I am able to do a search on the text from an Enum used as
    a state diagram selector.  In fact, I can even specify 
    whether the state is to be visible or not.  I will find all the
    Enums with that state exposed (ie "Init") as well as the case statement
    with the string in it.  Very useful.
    However,
    in LV 8.5 it no longer finds the enums or the case!  It doesn't
    even find plain strings used for free text on the BD or FP, which 7.1
    will gladly do.  It seems as if 8.5 only wants to find
    labels.  This is not quite as useful.
     I tried searching this topic but could not find any comments.  Anybody clue me in on what I'm missing?

  • Searching for a folder in document library doesn't work properly if the folder is at the root level.

    Hi,
    I have a folder named FS0 on my sharepoint 2013 site. The folder is the first level folder under
    Default Document library (Shared Documents). When I search for FS0 on the sharepoint site, the search result give a link to home.aspx and not the folder. If I search for any folder that is a second level folder in the library, I get a search result that takes
    me inside the folder on clicking it. In my case, I search for a folder named FS1 which directly under FS0. The search result takes me inside FS1 in this case. How can I make the search result display proper links for root level folders also?<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks
    Pranava

    Hi Pranava,
    I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
    Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
    Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
    Thanks
