Searching for a text in multiple vi's

I have to search for a particular text ("c:\" to be exact) in files that make up a project (about 350 of them). (My task is to replace absolute paths with relative paths). I tried to search within files using windows explorer search feature but it reurned no result (maybe the vi's are not stored as text files). So how may I achieve the given task?
(Thanks in advance to all those good people out there who help people like us. What would I do without your guidance? Have a very productive valentine's day)

In LV 7.1 I am able to do a search on the text from an Enum used as
a state diagram selector.  In fact, I can even specify 
whether the state is to be visible or not.  I will find all the
Enums with that state exposed (ie "Init") as well as the case statement
with the string in it.  Very useful.
However,
in LV 8.5 it no longer finds the enums or the case!  It doesn't
even find plain strings used for free text on the BD or FP, which 7.1
will gladly do.  It seems as if 8.5 only wants to find
labels.  This is not quite as useful.
 I tried searching this topic but could not find any comments.  Anybody clue me in on what I'm missing?

  • How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??

    Hello everyone
    How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??
    I am guessing one tedious way to do it would be to pass all the file names as command line arguments but I"m sure there exist a much easier and faster way to do it.
    Thanks a lot

    You need to pass only the directory name as parameter and then retrieve the files(recursively throug subdirs or not, however you wish) of that directory.
    There were at least 2 threads yesterday on how to retrieve files from directory, and there are many others in the archive so I leave the search part to you ;)

  • Searching for a text in the file.

    I have a to search for a particular text, in the file.
    Since my file is of large size, I do not want to read the file line by line searching for the text.

    but I want to search by any word let's say sam and I want to display same result.
    Thank you,

    You probably can use wildcards (% and _ )
    for example %my%

  • HT201285 Is there a way to search for deleted texts on the iphone 5c?

    Can I recover texts I have deleted?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • How to search for a text node with a particular value in an xml document with labview

    supposing i have the following xml document:

    </book>
    </head>
    i want to search for the author of the book "the beard" using for example the V.I Get first match  of labview to access the the node with value "the beard" and then use Get next sibling  V.I  and Get node text content to get get the author of this book..so my question is how do i write the xpath expression for Get first match so as to access the node with bookname "the beard" instantyly?  am trying to minimise the use of loops because they increase the time duration,..thank you (NB:i dont want to use Get all Matched V.I because it obliges me to use a loop in order to access the name derrick and this increases the time duration for my v.i)
    Solved!

    Since it's all text, why not use a real quick Match Pattern (or Regular Expression, but you don't need that much power here), see attached.

  • My group box is causing problems when searching for a text line in a text file.

    I am developing a booking system, so for this I need to ensure that no two clients can book the same appointment slot. So, on testing my code which prevents double booking, the system doesn't seem to find the text line being searched for in the text file
    when it (purposefully) should.
    I have tried isolating the problem using breakpoints, and I've found that when the 'SearchLine' (referring to my code below) does not include the 'TimeComboBox.text' piece and instead this value is written into the code, the system is able to find the SearchLine
    without any problems. But, when assigning the group box's value to a variable and using this in the SearchLine instead, or without even using a loop and just doing a simple line by line search, the program can't find this line of text in the file.
    I'm lost for ideas. I have tried everything I can think of. Could anyone make any suggestions as for what is the problem with my group box? (I'll explain the code beneath it).
    'Setting the value of the SearchLine (which is a String)
    SearchLine = String.Concat(DateTimePicker1.Value.Date & " " & TimeComboBox.text)
    Dim FoundApp As Boolean
    Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(basicfilepath & "Text Files\Client Booked Appointment DatesTimes.txt")
    FoundApp = False
    'Reading the file's contents and checking for the SearchLine
    Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) or (FoundApp = True)
    If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
    'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
    FoundApp = True
    Else
    'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
    Msgbox("Line not found.")
    End if
    Loop
    Explanation
    When the line is searched for, the 'FoundApp' value must be set to 'True' when it is found. If it is not found, it remains false.
    To isolate the problem, I've displayed the SearchLine in a message box in the past to make sure that the correct line of text is being searched for.
    In basic terms, my program is searching for the exact line of text which exists in the text file, but for some reason it is not coming up as 'Found'. The error occurs when the group box's value is used. The text file which is being read is
    definitely correct. Please help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    FoundApp = False
    Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) Or (FoundApp = True)
    ' this was missing
    TextLine = objReader.ReadLine
    If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
    'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
    FoundApp = True
    MsgBox("Line found.")

  • Search for a text in document

    How do I search for a particular text and find the number of occurence of this text in a text file?

    try this example using regular expressions.

  • How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

    In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

    That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

  • Searching for a text file

    hi i want to search for a file in the same folder as my project and read the contents of that file ... i know how to read from text file but i just need to know how i can search in the folder to look for a txt file called me.txt and open it for reading.. any suggestions?
    thanks in advance
    please provide some code for me... thx alot

    Look at the File class in Java API. You can create a file object by passing the file name.
    Then you can check whether the file exists or not by using exist methos of the File. (Of course, you need to know the path of the file).

  • Messages - Searching for terms and finding multiple matches

    In Messages, if I search for a term, and the term is matched multiple times within a conversation, how do I look at earlier matches? Right now it will only show me the most recent.

    HI,
    What I would like the Search to do is actually search all the chat I have ever had (I have saved one back to 2004 from iChat) so I could look for things people have sent me.
    What I find is it will only search Open Chats.
    Currently a Buddy I spoke to today show "history" only back as far as the Mavericks Update day due to the different places Mavericks keeps the Archived/Saved chats compared to Mountain Lion/Message 7.x.x. and iChat.
    The particular Buddy does send my name on different days so I searched for that.
    It tells me that it can find 6 instances.
    It indicates one of these the first time you do it with a fresh word in the Search and only shows me the part of the Chat that occurred today.
    As far as I can  tell the highlighted IM (it was over the AIM service) is the last one with the occurring word in.
    You now have to swap to the Edit Menu > Find > Find Next  Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + G
    It seems this then work backwards in time.

  • Search for specific text in numerous forms

    Hi,
    Looking for help to find forms that use hardcoded database links.
    Earlier in Forms 4.5 we used to convert all the 100 and odd forms to .fmt and then search in the fmt files for specific text. Forms 6i converts pl/sql code into something else hence we are not able to use the same technique as earlier. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing this in 6i.
    Thanks

    Forms 6i will also do a proper Forms Doc / Object List Report from the command line (eg f60gen script=no build=no forms_doc=yes batch=yes module=${MOD} userid=${CONNECT_STRING} module_type=${TYP} output_file=${OUT} module_access=file)
    The .txt output can be readily searched
