Search for text in main VI crashes labview

I'm using Labview 8.6 under Windows Vista Business. I'll update to Labview 2009 once I finish the current project. While working on the current project, when I do a text search in the main vi, the Labview environment crashes without error and without warning. When restart, it recovers any unsaved VIs, but the same problem occurs. Rebooting the PC doesn't help. If I go back far enough in my archives, I can get around this error, but I'll lose a week of work. Since there is no warning or error message, I don't have any way to trouble shoot the bug. I've looked under theLavVIEW Data/lvfailurelog folder, but no new log file is generated.

>It's possible it's an 8.6 bug, but it's also

button in the toolbar. You can also try posting the VI to see if anyone

Thanks for the suggestion. Recompiling doesn't make any difference. If I open the Main.vi outside of my project, it has the same problem, so it must be within that VI.That VI uses a ton of classes and a number of customer control types, so I doubt that anyone could open just that VI without the rest. I know a local NI rep pretty well...I'll check with him on Monday.
I ran VI analyzer and found a number of items, none of which justifies crashing the Labview environment, particularlly without an error message. I can attempt to fix all of the items found, but I don't have any guarantee that it will fix the problem, since I don't know what is causing it in the first place. If this is a known issue, that would help to narrow down the fix.

Editor: Annoying pop-up for choosing main programs when searching for text

Hi,
We're upgrading to ECC60 and are getting frustrated when searching for text in a source code within the ABAP editor.
For every include contained in the main program you are searching in there is a pop-up asking to choose the main program for that include.
This can get crazy when searching in a standard SAP program such as SAPMV45A. You'll have to process through 30-40 of these pop-up windows before your search results appear. I each pop-up you have to scroll though dozens of main programs to find the one you are doing the search in.
Can this be turned of somehow to have the search functionality work as it did in previous version, where the Editor knows that the program you are launching the search from is the main program you want the results from?
Thanks,
Peter

HI Peter
Please check if program: RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN can help you...

Eswar

Problems with searching for text in Preview

Hi, everyone...I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I have an old MBP with Tiger installed and Preview 3.0.9. I have attempted to search for words in numerous PDF files and the search function NEVER brings up the words even when I know the words are contained in the document. I read the Preview manual and I know I'm following the correct procedures in searching for text, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out with what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

I can't picture what you could possibly be doing wrong, there's not much choice in the matter.
The only time Searching fails here is if the text in the PDF is actually only a graphic of the text.
Are these PDFs that you made? If so, what APP?
If you down load this PDF, does Search work on it?

Search for text and font

I have an 800 page pdf document to index and so far I have a script that will search for a list of keywords. But the text has large sections of code in a different font, and I think we would like to generate an index of just code examples. Is there a way to search for text of a given font in applescript? Something like
set theSel to find text theText
if the font of theSel is "Times"
write to file, etc.

Please do send a page, I might be able to spot where the font problem is coming from - but no guarantee Address is in my profile.
You asked about the script formatter. red_menace of this forum wrote the script I use. To use it, you copy the script that you want to format to the clipboard and run the formatter. This then places the marked-up text in the clipboard so that you can paste it into the forum page.

Searching for text containing diacritics (accents)

iTunes doesn't find titles when searching for texts containing diacritics (like "âàéêèëîïôöûùü", in french). Even when a song title is copied and pasted in the search field, it is still not found. I get the same problem when I call the search from AppleScript. When searching for only the part before or the part after the diacritic, then iTunes does find something. I think it is a bug. Is there someone that knows what to do?

Too bad the problem is back with the new iTunes 8.0. It is quite annoying since I got a lot of entries with those diacritics...

Dreamweaver cs5.5 opening files after searching for text code

This just occured this afternoon. I was working on a page and when I went to search for text in the code (ie "/head") dreamweaver would open a previously opened page. In other words I was working on "walk.php" and when I did the search for "/head", dreamweaver opens "add_rsurvey_data.txt". I know what the 2nd file is but I haven't opened it in months. It's just a temp data file that my partner sent me.
I'm using cs5.5
Adobe will not help me.

"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text

For months I have been using (&relying on) the "search for text when I start typing " feature.
I am a school teacher & this helps me to search for students & record scores in an online grading program.
The "search for text when I start typing feature" stopped working two days ago.
Before, whenever I typed the "Find" box immediately opened up, searched the screen,
and highlighted whatever I had just typed. Now, when I enter a "1", "2" , "6" , "9" or "0" (zero)
the find box does not come up- so this disrupts all the grade recording process for me.
Instead, when I type in 6 or 9 (it zooms in the screen instead), 0 (it zooms out instead) and I cannot tell what happens
when I type in 1 or 2 (nothing appears to happen- but no "Find" box comes up.

results occur.
Please help!
Thanks,

The keyboard shortcut for resetting the zoom level is Command+0, so seeing that kind of response implies that Firefox is misreading the state of the Command key, thinking it is stuck down. Usually tapping the key numerous times will send a signal to all programs that the key has been released (at least on Windows).
On the other hand, in that case, Command+6 should jump to the sixth tab in the current window, it shouldn't change the zoom level. So... hmm...
In case a component of the OS has malfunctioned, have you already tried shutting down the system completely and then starting it up again?

Spotlight search for text messages not working

After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

I have checked "Search for text when I start typing" but it is not happening since your latest update.

I have checked “Search for text when I start typing” but it is not happening since your latest update. This is very important to me as I keyboard - not use the mouse. What can I do? Also, before the last update I could leave the window (alt+tab) and return and just type and it would type it is the search box. Now I have to take my hand off the keyboard and get the mouse three times for every search, slowing my work way, way down. What other flag do I need to put this back the way it was? Should I also remove the “Automatically check for updates” so that this will not happen again? Please, please help.

Hi CynthiaP,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. It may just be an issue with the pref file!

Applescript Help: Search for text in Safari DOM tree

Im trying to make a script really similar what was asked here: Re: Find text in webpage and email notification applescript/automator Except instead of searching the "source code" of the page, I want the script to search the "DOM tree" for the page.
To summarize, I am trying to make a script that loads a safari page, searches for a particular text in the DOM Tree, and if found will send me an email.
Here is the code from the other thread I referenced:
on idle
 set pagURL to "http://page.url.com?whatever"
 if application "Safari" is not running then
 quit
 return
 end if
 tell application "Safari"
 set URL of document 1 of window 1 to "http://your.web.address/"
 delay 5
-- delay to let page load.
 if source of document 1 of window 1 contains "search text" then
 my sendAMail()
 end if
 return 900 --fifteen minutes
 end tell
end idle
on sendAMail()
 tell application "Mail"
 set theMess to make new outgoing message at end with properties {sender:"your name", subject:"some subject line", content:"The message you want to send to yourself", visible:true}
 tell theMess
 make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
 end tell
-- send theMess
 end tell
end sendAMail
Any help would be appreciated!

For the URL you quote as an example (http://www.sislands.com/coin70/week2/NestedLoops1.htm), using text instead of source worked for me:
if text of document 1 of window 1 contains "1 2 3 4" then
another example:
if text of document 1 of window 1 contains "10 12 14 16" then
Note a double space between single digits (1 2 3 4) and a single space between double digits (10 12 14 16) is required for a match as per the table format:
Any full line:
if text of document 1 of window 1 contains "for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { // when i = 10" then
or partial line works:
if text of document 1 of window 1 contains "; i++) { // when i = 10" then

Cannot search for text in a PDF in Safari

I was previously able to use the "search in this document" when viewing a PDF in Safari. This no longer works and I always get "No Matches" when the word is actually in the PDF document. I installed the Chrome app and its "Find in Page" function is grayed out on PDFs so I can't search a PDF for text using it either.
I have uninstalled Adobe Reader and reset all iPhone settings under General and it still doesn't work. I am using iOS 8.1.2 and iPhone 6. Thanks.

I noticed the same problem too and have yet to find a solution. This was an issue with iOS 8.1.1: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1814335&page=2 (scroll down to posting #42)
