Search for strings inside html tags ?

Is there any way to get Spotlight to find search strings inside html documents? One example is I want to find any file that includes a certain alt=" " string inside an img src tag.
Spotlight does not seem to include anything inside html tags in it's search, as far as I can tell.
Am I missing something? Is there something I need to do?
Thanks for any ideas,

Very strange--it does find text inside the html files, but indeed does not seem to have text that is in the file but only appears within a tag. The solution is EasyFind by Christian Grunenberg:

You can do a content search on files in a particular folder, which I recommend since it does a brute force search and can take awhile if it has to search everything.

Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes. Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

<title><font color="red">This Is an Example of a Red Subject</font></title>
Can you please suggest me whats the best way to acheive this.
I appreciate all your help
Thank you

One problem is that you don't understand escaping. If you re-read what you posted you'll see that what you say you get, and what you say you want, are identical. That's because you didn't escape one of the two properly. So your first step should be to find the section about escaping in Chapter 1 of your XML book and read it carefully. Figure out what you should have done here (yes, the same rules apply).
However, to attempt to answer what I think your question is: if you have a String which contains markup, and you want to convert that String to XML elements, then you have to feed the String into an XML parser.

RegExp for replacing specific HTML tags.

Hi All,
I need to replace some of the HTML tags in flex.
for eg:-
in the follwing html i have to replace "span","div" and "a"
<h2>AAAAAAAAA<br /><span >BBBBBBBBBBB</span></h2><div><p>QQQQQQ</p><p>EE<br />FFFF<br />TTT<br /></p
<a href="#">Click</a>
</div>

input = "yor html string";
var urlPattern:RegExp = new RegExp("/(<a)(.*)(</a)/","ig");
var result:String = input.replace(urlPattern, "<b$2</b");
var urlPattern2:RegExp = new RegExp("/(<div)(.*)(</div)/","ig");
var result2:String = result.replace(urlPattern2, "<table$2</table");
and so on....
hope this helps ...

Search for string and move decimal

Hello,
I am trying to write code that will search for a fractional string within an array and convert it from mV to V so it can be properly compared to the other fractional string numbers in the array.
I have an array that outputs x iterations each with a minimum and maximum column including several different types of decimal strings (negative/positive with several decimal places) each ending with either mV and V (example string: -725.543mV).
I then split the array into columns containing the minumum and maximum values of each iteration. I want to compare the minimum values of each iteration and find the most minimum, and do the same thing with the maximum values.
Unfortunatley the way I'm doing it, when I convert from fractional string to number it removes the V or mV unit label but does not convert the number from mV to V. so it compares -725.543mV with -52.334V as -725.543 & -52.334 thus declaring the mV value the most minimum. I need the program to recognize that mV is less than V or search each array for values labeled with mV and move the decimal place so it is in standard V format.
The unit label is actually part of the string and not the display (as you can see in the code I've attached) and I understand this is a little tricky with the way I have to do it. But this is a dumbed down chunk of code I will eventually incorporate into my larger program which reads the values and their units from several different types of oscilloscopes. The Scopes output the values as strings as they appear on the screen and don't differentiate between mV and V unless they are told to output the units which just tags them on the end of the string.
I'm sorry for the large post. SO to sum up I need to search an array to make sure all values have the same units, if they don't I need to convert each value to the proper unit and output the max and min from the resulting array. my code is attached. Thank you for your help.
Solved!

Good catch, but, really?
That "Finally!" comes out to -5569492V to me. Holy crap. -5.569492MV! I think there's a problem there.
Carp! Stupid negative numbers, shouldn't be allowed. Put a piece of duck tape over the place for that negative sign, that'll fix it.
I'll get back, it's now a matter of principle.
Jim, how does your algorithm do when there are 8 or 9 sig figs, say -56.9492345mV? (Yep, too lazy to draw it in myself.)

I am writing a program based on the six degrees of seperation theory.
Basically I have been given a (very large) txt file from the imdb with a list of all the films written in it.

Thats just 2 lines!
what the program will do is take in a name (from a gui) of an actor/actress and find the smallest connection to a famous actor.
So first things first, my idea of thinking is to search the file for K.E.V.I.N. B.A.C.O.N and all his films, and safe them into an array. Then do another search for films from the actor that the user entered at the gui. then find the shortest possible connection to both stars.
my code for the search part of the program
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class FileSearch {
     File aFile = new File("cast.06.txt");
     FileInputStream inFile = null;
     String actor = "surname, forename"; // the person who will be the centre point e.g. kevin.bacon.
       //get the result of the actor from the gui will go here.
     public void openFilm()
          try
              inFile = new FileInputStream(aFile);
          catch(FileNotFoundException e)
               System.out.println("Error");
}The problem I have is that I can't work out how to search the txt file for a specific string/s and save them into an array. (I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about it or not at this stage).
So whats the best way to search for an actor from that file and save the film title and the year of release?
Hope this makes sense? what I hope the final program will be like is like this http://oracleofbacon.org/

I went away and looked at regular expressions and this is what I came up with
public class NameSearch{
     public static void main(String[] args)
          NameSearch ns = new NameSearch();
          ns.runIt();
     public void runIt()
          java.util.Scanner fileScan = null;
          try{
               fileScan = new java.util.Scanner(new java.io.File("imdb.txt"));
          }catch(java.io.FileNotFoundException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(0);
          String token = null;
          String actor = "Surname, Forename";
//real name will go in actor, left it like that for example
          while(fileScan.hasNext()){
               token = fileScan.next();
               Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(actor);
               Matcher m = pattern.matcher(token);
               while(m.find())
                    System.out.println(m.start() + m.end());
}This by any means not finished, I'm just trying to get to grips with regualr expressions. But when I run the program it doesn't return anything, from what I've tried to work out is it should return actor x amount of times they appear in the file. But when I run it nothing comes back (the actors name is in the text file) so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong, any suggestion please

Searching for string in text files on XP

Hi,
At the moment I'm working on a Struts program. The output I get is:
The requested resource (Invalid path /displayAddProductForum was requested) is not available.Somewhere in my files, I have a line containing /displayAddProductForum that should be displayAddProductForm. As I'm using XP as my development platform, I use the 'Windows Explorer' search facility. And I have noticed this search facility does not look in .java, .jsp and any other file with a non-Microsoft file-extension. So, how do you search for a string in a source file on XP?

Using the right mouse click on a directory to get a context menu -> Search -> (All or part of filename : .java ) and (A word or phrase in the file : blah blah blah) -> Search
Edit : Errr.. maybe I'm talking rubbish because I have just tested this and it only finds 5 java files of mine that contain the word 'class'! I'm sure it used to work because in my 'Windows' days I frequently used it.
Edited by: sabre150 on Dec 20, 2007 12:44 PMSounds a bit odd. Search in windows should only search in registered file types and neither jsp nor java are registered types. It's however possible to modify the registry and add extensions (but it's not possible to say search within all types of files, and that sucks)

Search for string in PlSql-Code

Hi
I have a simple question. Is it possible to search for a string in all PlSql-Proceduren (Packages, Procedures, Functions, Triggers, Views). How can i find out where a certain package-prodedure/function is referenced.
Thanks

View -> Extended search. In 11.1 it would query against plscope dictionary views supported by rdbms. In lower versions it would reduce to querying all_source.

Search for Segment Inside B2B Document Editor

Hi B2B Gurus,
I have a hard time to find "CON" ( Consent segment) defination inside HL7 2.5 version standard messages. How do I search for a particular segment in a specified version messages?
Thanks,
Datla

Hello Datla,
When I open ecs file then the segments are showing only for that message type but I want to get all segments from all message types.I think it is not possible. You can use "Standards Reference" for below standards only:
1. EDIFACT
2. UCS
3. X12
4. WINS
5. TDCC

Search for string in paragraph and apply a new character style?

I'm searching for a way to find a specific string in a specific text frame and make it bold. so my thought was to search and then apply a character style from my template doc. I thought this would work, but I went wrong somewhere.
newDoc is my document.
//something like
var Bios = "Representative Biography:\r want to leave this text normal.";
var myTextFrameBios = newDoc.pages.item(i).textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[4.5277, 2.36, 8.625, 5.375], contents:Bios});
var myTextObjectBios = myTextFrameBios.parentStory.texts.item(0);
// IS THIS CONFLICTING with my change below? Can I apply a character style within a par styled frame?
myTextObjectBios.appliedParagraphStyle = newDoc.paragraphStyles.item("CompanyProfile");
                                                  //Clear the find/change preferences.
                                                app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
                                                app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
                                                app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Representative Biography:";
                                                app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "Representative Biography:";
                                                app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = newDoc.characterStyles.item("BoldBioHead");
                                                // Perform the operation
                                                app.documents.item(0).changeGrep();
                                                app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
                                                app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

@caseyctg – If you want to apply a character style to a text object in a specific text frame, you could restrict the scope of your script to that specific text frame:
Example with the variable "myTextFrame" you have to define before:
myTextFrame.changeText();
Btw.: you are doing a text search and clearing your GREP find/change preferences at the start of the snippet? Why is that?
You could do a:
app.changeTextPreferences = app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
or:
app.changeTextPreferences = app.findTextPreferences = null;
set before the search and after the change, if you want to be on the safe side…

Searching for String literals in a ResultSet

Hi! I am currently working in a little project in which one functionallity should be the possibility to search for customers over a special dialog. This dialog consists of a JTextField and a JTable. Now when the user enters e.g. 'a' in the textfield all the customers which include an 'a' at the beginning of their name should be displayed in the JTable. When the user enters a 'b' addtionally all users which fit the condition 'ab' are shown. Currently I requery the DB every time a key is pressed. But this is not very performant over the network. Is there a way to store a buffered ResultSet in RAM and make queries on this ResultSet?
Thx

...but there must be a easier way to deal with it!Either you have all the data in the GUI or you don't. If you have it there then you have to get all of it. And then do something with it. If you don't get it all, then you are going to have to do a query each time. There is no other solution.
You could do a partial solution, for example do the first query after they type the first letter and then after that handle the data yourself.
(Keep in mind that this sort of GUI is 'really cool' but generally serves no pratical purpose particularily for large businesses. Day to day work doesn't support such usage.)

How to search for speech inside premiere once I have analyzed speech without adobe story

Is there a way to find text speech inside the metadata speech analysis window?
Thank you.

Thanks! This is very good. The assumption for this work flow is that you already have a word-perfect transcript file (my case - this makes the AME voice-to-text engine FAR more accurate, because it only has to find word timings - less deciphering of words. I used this workflow to produce a valid .srt file for use elsewhere. For work inside PrProCC, it is indeed the missing bridge between speech recognition and caption editing.
Captiontube seemed promising, in that it is supposed to accept an ordinary .txt file as the transcript, but I could not get it to accept any movie URLs I entered. If you do NOT have a literal transcript to start with, then the speech recognition in Camtasia Studio 8 (uses the Windows speech recognition engine, I think) is about the same (in)accuracy as AME.

Searching for String in Vector

I know I posted just a few minutes ago about sorting, but I'm making a program (not related to homework at all, this is all for my parents business) and my program needs to store names and fetch them. We have thousands of people in our contacts so it's only logical that I would provide searching so that my mom could easily find a contact she is looking for.
The contacts are stored in a vector, first name, last name, address, etc. I want to provide a search function that can search the names, or addresss, or both. Then, when a match is found, it returns the results to a JList or something.
Search Text: "St. Marie"
Results:
1. St. Marie, Josh
2. St. Marie, Someone
etc etc...

My program uses files, it uses the files to populate the vector. I'm using a vector, not an array or anything else to access the data in the files. heres a sample of the save method in my program.private void saveContacts ()
      FileOutputStream fos = null;
      try
          fos = new FileOutputStream ("contacts.dat");
          DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fos);
          dos.writeInt (contacts.size ());
          for (int i = 0; i < contacts.size (); i++)
               Contact temp = (Contact) contacts.elementAt (i);
               dos.writeUTF (temp.fname);
               dos.writeUTF (temp.lname);
               dos.writeUTF (temp.phone);
               dos.writeUTF (temp.fax);
               dos.writeUTF (temp.email);
      catch (IOException e)
         MsgBox mb = new MsgBox (this, "CM Error",
                                 e.toString ());
         mb.dispose ();
      finally
         if (fos != null)
             try
                 fos.close ();
             catch (IOException e) {}
   }The variable "contacts" is my vector.
