Search for multiple items

Hi all,
     I have a list of around 8000 files names I would like to search for, and move to the trash.
     I have been doing this in spotlight (using "OR" to separate them) and it has been working well, but I find I can only search for about 70 at a time - i.e., I have to perform over 100 individual searches to find them all (I have them listed in a spreadsheet and I just copy and paste into the search field). OSX doesn't seem to like it if there are more search terms than this (I'm not complaining - it seems to be just how it is)
     I was wondering if there was a way (maybe in terminal?) to do the full search on all 8,000 items at the same time?
Thanks
Hendrix

Search for multiple items in one text field

Hi all,
I am new to ApEx, I have a request from one of our users to ask if there is a way we can allow them to enter more than one search items delimited by a comma. For instance, we have a text item field for user to enter some values as emp names, when he key in like PETER,SMITH,ALLEN,WARD, once he submit the page he will see the result as:
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from scott.emp t
where t.ename in('PETER','SMITH','ALLEN','WARD')
Many thanks.

You can create a multiselect list named P1_REPORT_SEARCH based on a List of Values (LOV) with those employee names and use this code.
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from emp t
where
(instr(':'||:P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||':',':'||ENAME||':') > 0 or :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is null) /**for multiselect**/
)

MRP - Single Purchase requisition for multiple Items

Hi
We have recently introduced MRP module in SAP .In some specific scaeanrios , we want to create a single Purchase Requisition for multiple items .Standard SAP generate different Purchase requisition for each item
Is there any way out

Sandeep,
This topic has been covered numerous times in this forum and in the MM forum. You evidently have not used the search feature. There are thousands of posts in these forums, and the search function will be very helpful for you in future questions.
To answer your question, No, nothing is available to make standard SAP MRP create Purchase requisitions for multiple items.
Most companies address this issue during the conversion of Purchase Requisitions to Purchase orders. During this process, you can add many items to a single purchase order.

Searching for multiple identical values?

Hello.
I was wondering, is there anyway for a search to return results for multiple items with the same values?
For example, a spreadsheet of clients and their purchases. If the client makes several purchases (each a separate row) is their anyway search formula which could gather all of them?
Ideally what I am hoping to end up with is a sheet where I can type in their name and it will automatically fill with every entry for that client. However at the moment, search can find the last entry made for the client, but ignores earlier entry's. Is there a way around this?
At the moment I am just manually searching, finding the row number and using that to generate the final page.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi DBuskar,
Please find attached an example for your request.
I hope this shows what you are looking for.
Greetings
Walter

How do I update grouping or description for multiple items?

As the question implies, I would like to update information in the Grouping and Description fields for multiple items as a way to keep things organized. What I have discovered is that there are some quirks in the new Get Info window that were not in past implementations, which are completely inexplicable and nonsensical to me.
For instance, when you open the Get Info window for an item that has no information in, for instance, the Grouping field, you will not see a Grouping input field, as in this screenshot. The Grouping field should be where the bottom arrow is. Notice also that the Description field is available. I will get back to that in a minute.
If you manually double-click into the Grouping field on the main iTunes screen, you can enter the information there. Then, when you open the Get Info window, ta-dah! The field magically reappears, as in the screenshot below.
The trouble comes when you want to edit this field for multiple tracks. If you select multiple tracks, and they do not all have the Grouping field already populated, the field does not appear. What this means is that you are forced to manually enter the information for every track! This is completely unacceptable when you need to edit information for, as in my case, 122 tracks. The following image shows the Get Info window that appears after selecting two items, one with the Grouping field manually populated, and one with no info in the Grouping field.
Not only has the Grouping field disappeared, but the Description field, as well. Thanks, Apple, but I think I can decide for myself whether or not to populate these fields for multiple items. Let's get 'em back, huh?
SO… does anyone know of any valid method for accomplishing this task? Without manually entering the same information in hundreds of fields? This is the future; computers are supposed to do these monotonous tasks for us, aren't they?
Oh, please don't suggest Option-clicking to open the older, better, Get Info window, as Apple has decided that we should not have that option any longer. We apparently have to organize our music their way. Think different!

The Add Field button was in the editors of 12.0.1 (where the new-style editors had a very "half-finished" feel) - it is not there in 12.1. Apple have determined which metadata fields should be available for each kind of media, with no option for the user to modify this. In Apple's own words: "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item."
The only options are:
temporarily change the media kind (Options tab) to one that includes the field you want to add values to, enter those values, and then change the media kind back again
make the relevant fields visible in an appropriate list view and edit values there - the big limitation being that you can only do this one item at a time
I can see - to a degree - why Apple may have made some limitations so that metadata elements are available based on their relevance to different media kinds. However, one of the issues mentioned above seems like a bug - if a single audiobook file can have a Description tab, I see no reason at all for that not to be available for multiple items of the same kind.
If not already done so, report these issues and dissatisfaction with the "new" metadata editors in 12.1 (and the absence of a "back door" for the old-style ones) using Apple's iTunes feedback page.

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

How to search for multiple values with Bex Prompts

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to search for multiple values at the same time with Bex Prompts instead of searching one value at a time (please see the screen shot below). I searched the forum couldn't find any relevant answers. please let me know how to achieve?
Thanks,
Charvi.

Hi Charvi,
You can use wild card search to ensure you get multiple similar values listed as search output.use * for multiple characters and ? for single character.
For Example, Ravi * would result you all employees with first name as Ravi
You can use various search formats such as * Ravi * and * Ravi and Ra?? etc.
Thanks

How can i search for multiple file names (images) in bridge?

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know how to search for multiple file names in bridge?
That is to copy & paste something like this: _MG_2152, _MG_2177, _MG_2194, _MG_2195, _MG_2202, _MG_2212, _MG_2219, _MG_2261, _MG_2362, _MG_2401
Not using several criterias in the search box that is. That takes too long.
Thanks

How to create production order for multiple items having common raw materia

Dear all,
We are running a sheet metal fabrication company at Vadodara Gujrat.
Please guide us how to create single production order for multiple items using single raw material??
For example, We want to produce baby shirt(item code AAA001), shirt with full sleeve(item code AAA002), shirt with half sleeve(item code AAA003),shirt slim fit (item code AAA004),shirt loose fit(item code AAA005) from single raw material say(item code XXX001).
Right now we have to create 5 production order to produce above 5 items of single sales order in SAP B1 though it is made from single raw material which is foolishness and time consuming too. (Please also note that to produce any finfish good item, raw material required for that item may vary every time in our process.)
Kindly guide us how to solve the problem.
Thanks.

Hi Rupesh Gorashiya,
This is possible through MRP for that you have to put Sales Order first and Run MRP Wizard
MRP Wizard Put Multi Production Order as per Item Taking in Sales Order just click it on and execute.

Get Info..for multiple items where's THaT preference ?

The 1st few times I'd try to Get Info for multiple items , I'd get one window opened, and could make , say , 12 .aiffs open w/ iTunes rather then QuickTime. [ and even THaT seemed to change at the point of the latest iTunes/QTime upgrades...now QTime Pro is in charge ! ]
My point is : I like to get that one window for multiples, which used to come randomly, and not 12 seperate windows. Where DoeS one control that ?
-=TIA=-
~~~=Dave

Actually it's a function not a bug.... If you do GetInfo on more than 10 items it opens a "group" pane, otherwise it opens individual windows. Unless you want to count items the reliable way is to use Show Inspector instead (add the option key). I find Inspector more useful anyway, so changed the Keyboard shortcut to make Inspector the default of Command-I.

Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?

Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture? For example, search for 'Image2.jpg, Image3.jpg, Image5.jpg' by image name, out of different folders?

dusan -- your best procedure is likely to be to type the first file name (without extension) in the search field of the Photos View, and then mark that file either with a Flag or a color label. (You might clear all Flags prior.) If you have a lot of images or a slow computer (or both ) you may have to wait a few seconds. Aperture will show "Loading ... " on the left side of the tool strip while it churns through your images.
Then hit backspace twice, and type "60". Mark the file found.
Repeat with variations.
Then go to Flagged view, or filter the whole Photos view for the color-label you used.

Searching for multiple faces in single picture

Is it possible to search for multiple faces in a single picture. I would e.g. like to search for all pictures containg Person X and Person Y.

File -> New Smart Album
Face -> is -> X
+
Face -> is -> Y
To get pics with both, set the condition to Match All, to get either, set the condition to Match Any

Search for multiple words in a field?

is there a way to search for multiple words in a field? for example, if i have a metadata field called NOTES that contains the string "Joe and Bob created this version on Sunday" is there a way to search for "Sunday, Joe, Bob" and have it return the asset?

Search using the "Matches Word" option instead of "Contains". That will limit your results to only assets that have a field value that includes all three of those terms. If they are not all included in the same field value, it will not return a hit. So if "Sunday" were in Keywords and "Joe" & "Bob" are in Notes, you would not get a hit for that search with "Matches Word".
"Contains" searches for the contiguous string in any field on the assets.
Further, if you add your Notes field to the Metadata Group "Asset Filter", it will appear in your advanced search options, asset subscription filters, and search expired responses. Then you can specifically limit the search to that field and choose from "Matches Word', "Contains", and several other search filters. Note that when you use "Matches Word" this way, you need to eliminate spaces from your comma delimited list of words or you will not get the search hits you want.

Search for iTunes items by price

Is it possible o search for iTunes items such as movies & music by price? For example all the movies that are $6.99 or any other price by that matter, not just the few that iTunes has listed in their movies home page.

The "big offer" IS what you are missing. The movies that are normally 9.99 being reduced to 4.99 for a limited time but unable to find them is counter productive on Apple's part. If you are going to put movies on sale, you need to have a way for people to find out what those movies are!
It's like a store having a Black Friday Sale flyer with random products that are not on sale, but the store would like you to buy them. You can go to the store to find the Black Friday deals but you have to look at every product on every self in every isle to see if they have a sale sticker on them.
That's how hard it is to find movies that are $4.99 on the iTunes Store now. I used to purchase 5-10 movies a month when the Limited Time $4.99 Movies was something you could just click and see. Now I buy maybe 2-3 movies because I hate clicking on every genre and then every movie in the genre to check the SD price because it only shows the HD and Rental prices in the genre lists.

API to search for PIM items

Is there any API to search for an item in PIM. I have a requirement to search for item by Inventory Org, routing class, operation class and resource.
thank
satya

Satya,
I am not sure or aware of any API. This should be falling under the catalog functionality.
But the functionality does exist in the front end in the PIM application (resp Product Information Management Data Librarian) there is a functionality of item search (you know that probably). You can explore the OAF pages and related VOs or implementations of that page.
Thanks
