Searching for a list of elements in an array

Hi,
In labview you can search an array for an element and it will return
the index of the element that is found. Is it possible to search an
array for a list of elements, say multiple elements that are follow
each other.
For example if I have some array that looks like this
1
0
1
1
1
0
1
1
1
the array continues for about 3000 more elements. This is digital data
thas has been slightly parsed from a pxi 6561. I would like to further
parsing in array form since it would be more efficient than using
strings, (less memory intensive). Is it possible to search in this
array for the sequence 101, and return the index where this is found.
A sample of the array I am referring to is in the indicator of the vi I have attached.
Thank you,
-Tim

Sorry, I no longer have LabVIEW 7.1, so here's a picture of a possible solution (the "=" is set to "compare aggregates").

Searching for a list of photos

From my Aperture library of many tens of thousands of photos, I exported a few thousand low-resolution versions to my wife's computer. From there, she selected a few hundred of those files that she likes. I thought it would be relatively straightforward for me to now recreate an album of the high-res originals in my Aperture library based on her selections. It hasn't been.
My strategy was to create a Smart Album and search for version names from the list of files she selected. I managed to create a long comma-delimited list of the filenames she selected from my Terminal. (Like this: S7302576, S7302662, etc.) The Aperture manual said that I could text search on multiple criteria by separating with a comma. However, now that I go to try it I see my strategy does not work. The search box interprets each separate version name as an "AND" search rather than an "OR" search. So of course when I search for more than one unique version name I get zero results rather than the group I want. So now I'm back to square one.
Does anyone have a better suggestion of how I could accomplish this? Anything better than using my eyeballs to manually search thru thousands of photos to recreate her "selection"?
ps: An extra credit question: Of course my wife had to make this project doubly difficult on me because she went ahead and changed the filenames on several of the photos in her selection, so I have no good idea whatsoever as to how I'd recreate in Aperture an album based on these, other than manually searching with my eyeballs. Any ideas here?
Many thanks for any help!

Okay, I searched a little deeper and found a solution to my problem (I guess I should have searched for "horribly tedious"):

This worked but was much more difficult to do than it should have been. Come on Apple!
I'm still open to suggestions on my extra credit question but have little hope ...

Search for a regular expression in a 1D array?

I've got a 1D array of strings, and I want to find the row with "Date: yy/mm/dd" in it. Since yy/mm/dd would not necessarily be the same between runs, I can't look for the row with "Date: yy/mm/dd".
I tried using the Search 1D Array with "Date: " and "Date: *" as my element input, but it didn't find either of 'em.
I don't know where in vi.lib the function would be in, otherwise I'd attempt to mod the function to take regular expressions, and my off-the-cuff search attempt (looping through the array & using Match Regular Expression) had some odd errors and still didn't find the row.
Thanks!

What do you define as a "row"? Is each row a single array element? Since your array elements are strings, each array element itself could be a multiline|multirow string itself that might need to be analyzed one row at a time.
To look for patterns:
If you have LabVIEW 8.0 or higher, you can use "Match regular expression". Else you can use "Match Pattern". It really depends how specific you need to be. Are there lines that start with "Date:" but don't contain a formatted date afterwards?
To search for array elements starting with simple string "Date:", use "match first string".

Framework for Views - listing many elements on multiple pages

Hi,
is anyone aware of a framework which could be integrated in existing applications without rewriting all of the JSPs/GUIs.
Namely, only the JSPs which lists elements - for example person names.
Listing these entities is OK when you have like 50 - or 100 - but what do you do if you have 1000000 or more ?
It could be like "list 50 entries every page" and if you click "next" or "back" you see the entries 51..100...
However coding this for every JSP which has elements to list (not only person names) is a big hassle - therefor i ask if such a framework exist.
Also i good idea instead of XXX entries per page would be to have some sort of collapse/expand mechnism, i.e. for names you would have
A
B
C
when you expand A you see all the names starting with A
you could even do sub expands meaning under A there would be another [a..z] entry.

You can create your own picture package, if none of the options in the PSE print window>Type of Print work for you. Just make a blank file, copy/paste your image and alt drag it to make multiple copies. You can use the move tool to position things as you want them.
Generally speaking, though, for something like label printing, it's simplest to use PSE to create the image, then use your word processing/desktop publishing program to print the actual labels.

Can I search for a LIST of version names?

I often have clients resent me with a list of photos they want. Sometimes this is over 100 photos from a couple thousand. Currently I just cut and paste one by one the name of the image into the search box and then mark that image as a select.
Is there ANY way (fingers crossed) to expedite this? I WISH I could past a list of file names into the search box and get the list in return. Can anyone offer better advice for how to make this process more efficient?

Say I have a project of 300 images and want to find say 10 images.
While I can do this visually one at a time and add them to an album, I will be doing this fairly regularly.
I'd like to give it a comma separated list of names and then click to create an album.
I don't think this is possible at this time..

Spotlight searching for mailing list archives

I need to make spotlight searches available for individual Mailman/Pipermail mailing lists' web archives. How can I do it? So far, the only way I've found is to make a copy of the mailing list's web archives somewhere inside a web site's hierarchy, then add indexing for it with the mdimport -f command. Simply using a symbolic link to a mailing list archve folder in /private/var/mailman/archives/private doesn't work. I don't want to keep a separate copy of the mailing list archives just so that I can have one that's spotlight searchable.

I can browse to the iPhoto Library in the Open dialogues from other apps. For some apps (eg Safari, Word), I can see the iPhoto Library, but it is greyed out
That's not what I mean. You're browsing to the Library, I mean +browse the contents of the Library+...
For instance: Consider the Open... Dialogue
On the left there's a Media heading, the contents of your Library can be accessed there.

How can I use a script to search for a list of filenames and copy them to another directory

Hi all,
I'm quite new to using scripts etc and wondered if anyone could help? I've only ever modified preset folder scripts so making one from scratch is a bit new to me, but it would also be great if anyone else has done this before if they could pass on there script and ill modify to suit my needs.
I will be recieving a tab delimited file containing a list of 150 - 200 clips every day and I need to pull those files onto a hard drive.
All of the files are housed in one folder on the internal media drive and I would like to be able to have applescript / automator / whatever either look through the tab file and then move the files in the tab file from the internal media drive to the external transport drive or I copy and paste the filenames into the script and run it and the script moves the files from the internal media drive to the external transport drive.
Hope someone can help,
Many Thanks

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.

How to Search for a specific element in a MultiGraph?

Hi there
Im trying to implement a Multigraph ADT in Java. Multigraph is a graph that has multible edges connecting a node. I assume you all know what a Graph ADT looks like.
So i think ive got all the basic methods functions of a normal graph/mulitgraph and now i want to search for a element in it
The question is how will i so that?
Do i use a breadth first search?
But i thought a BFS traverses all the elements in a graph? And how can i use a BFS to search for a specific element in a graph?
Thanks

Hey there
thanks for your reply but i still some query.
I thought of doing that but i want to remember the nodes i revisted to get to the target (not all - but the quickest route to that node)
My design so far is:
have 3 Interface namely Graph, Node & Edge.
Classes will inherit those interface to provide the actual implementation as i want the details/coding to be abstract meaning i can give many different way of implementations.
The graph class will add nodes & edges where when adding edges, edge will store 2 nodes in it respectively source & destination nodes.
Both Node & Edges will be stored in graph using some data structures atm (arrayList i presume)
My Design is that i want to (my aim of the task of searching) search for a node in the multigraph by inputting (maybe 2 nodes) into method - start node target node! The method should return a list of nodes to get to the target node.+
So so far i have this wee algorithm in mind:
+1. Input start + target node as parameters+
+2. Use BFS to search the graph+
+3. When reached target node - halt+
+4. return the list of nodes that visited to get there (but not all - only the precise & fastest)+
So will that work?
If so how do i go about doing implementation?
Thanks

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do? Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!
