Here's an idea. Find a link to the java API. Create a utility class with a method to read a file and a method to write a file. Look in java.io for this. That should keep you busy for a while and give you something specific to ask questions about. Next, create a GUI class and put a button on it. Figure out how to make a button click open a "FileChooser" or "JFileChooser" (Look in the api for that) Imagine that these need to talk to each other so figure out what parameters are needed. After you've done that then figure out how the user is going to enter the two search criteria (something that acts like a text field). Choose a GUI class that supports text highlighting. Display all the information that the user would like to know e.g. The name of the file selected to parse, the name of the file to write, and whether the strings were found successfully.

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??

Regular expressinos work just fine, especially when
searching for patterns. But they seem to be impying
it's a specific group of characters they're looking
for, and indexOf() is much faster than a regex.If he's reading from a file, the I/O time will likely swamp any performance hit that regex introduces. I think contains() (or indexOf() if he's not on 5.0 yet) is preferable to regex just because it's simpler. (And in the case of contains(), the name makes for a very clear, direct mapping between your intent and the code that realizes it.)

Searching for a string in an excel file and return true if found.

How can I search for a string in an excel file and return true if found, its location and also a value.

The problem with searching an excel file is that it contains a header. It would be easiest if you just read the file into a LabVIEW array and search the array. This way you can also get the index and the value of the location.

Search for a character in a text file

I have a text file generated using utl_file. After this is generated, I want to search for a specific character in the file. If found, I want to edit the file and remove/replace this character.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

If your application resides on unix box, you can use OS command to find and replace, something like "sed" in unix, do a man on sed and find out the details.

How do I search for a string in the Text tab of the Layers panel

I have a world map with a text layer for country names. I hide the country names as needed by clicking on the 'eye' icon for Toggle Visibility in the Layers panel. I've inadvertently hidden one name and I need to know how to find it in the Text panel so I can make it visible again. How do I seatrch for a name in the Text panel?

Just in case there is an unlocked and visible object close to the hidden one in the stacking order, you may select that object right on the artboard and then go to the Layers palette menu and take the Locate Object command.
Of course, this would be just one possible workaround to locate the hidden objects a bit easier.

Search for a String in a list of files

Could anyone please send me a java sample code which searches for a string from a list of files and returns me the filename and the line in which the Search String was found ?
Thanks in advance
RR

Simple solution would be -
1. Traverse a directory for each file.
2. Read each file using Buffered Reader.
3. Use readLine() method to read a line.
4. Use String.indexOf to see if the data which you are looking for is there in the line or not.
5. If its there then store the line number and file name.
6. When the loop will end you will have list of file name and line number where the data which you are looking for is present.

How can I search for a string like a partial IP address in the global search

When searching for a string like "10.255." the global search finds messages containing "255" or "10" and both.
This happens no matter whether quotation is used or not.
When quotation is used it probably will match on the given order as well, but beeing in the timezone '+0100' the string "10" is always found first (in the email headers...).
Is there a way to tell the global search not to use '.' or any other character as whitespace?

Search for a String within a document (Word, txt, doc) using JSP, JAVA

Hi
I have created a little application that uses combination of JSP and HTML. Users of this application can upload documents which are then stored on the server. I need to develop functionality where I can allows users to search for a string within a document. More precisely, user would type in some string in a text box and application will search all uploaded documents for that string and return the downloadable links to those documents that contains that string. I have never done this before. I was wondering if someone could get me started on this or point me to some thread where this idea is already discussed. Any Jave code exists for searching through documents??
Thanks for your help

Search for a string in SAP Script

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to search for a string in all Z SAP scripts, like ABAP source scan?
Regards,
Hari.

Try using function module "READ_FORM" (you will have to write a simple z-program to find all SAPscripts in your system then use this function module to search the SAPScript Forms for a particular string).
All you have to do is supply the "FORM" name and it will return all of the Pages, Paragraphs, and Texts etc....
More specifically, try looping at the "FORM_LINES" internal table result and you will see the SAPScript text there....
Have fun !
