Searching for a word or phrase in a file on NSS Pool/Volume
I have encountered a strange issue in that if I search for a word or phrase in a file at any level of the volume, from the root, down to sub folders, I get different results from 2 or more PC's.
Workstations are all Win XP SP2, Novell Client 4.91 SP4 for Windows
Server NW 6.5 SP6 with all post SP's installed.
I have ran a nss /PoolRebuild=POOLNAME and a NSS /VisibilityRebuild=VOLNAME
There is only one volume on this pool.
And I still encounter the same results.
As one example:
On my Admin workstation When I search the top level Folder of Closed Client folders for the word chronology, I get 2 files returned named chronfile1 and chonfile2, when I search from any other workstation (I have tried 4 different workstations at this point) at the same folder level, for the same word Chronology, I get multiple files with the Word in the File, but I do not see files chronfile1 or chronfile2. Likewise, the file names returned form the search results on the other workstations, are not returned in the search list ran on the admin (Mine) workstation. And yes, I am logged in as admin on the other workstations when running the search.
So far, this issue is only appearing on 1 volume.
Thoughts?

I'm assuming you are using the Windows desktop search tool?
I ran a NSS /PoolRebuild last night which fixed an issue the workstations not being able to see the 2 files in question.
Previous night I had just performed an NSS /PoolVerify.
Part of the other anomoly, the other workstations seeing more files than the admin workstation (I feel so Stupid, after 25 years you think I'd be able to spot the obvious) the reason the other workstations were returning files that the Admin workstation was not - Admin workstation doesn't have Word Perfect installed.
Somebody, give me a Gibbs head slap, now!

Search for "A word or phrase in the file" in .trc files gives no result
Hi
When i Search through Explorer using search for "A word or phrase in the file" in .trc files I get no result.
Probably because these files are of type "Microsoft Network Monitor Document".
But I can open them using Notepad, so why can't I search for a word in these files?
I there another way to search?
Normally I ofcourse use Visual Admin. but there are a lot of trace files so it would be nice to do this kind of search
br PeterHi Peter,
This is a known problem, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309173
An alternative is to use other tools which search even faster than the slow MS search does.
Hope it helps

Wanted to ask if you knew of a script I could use or any other way to search a document for any words or phrases that appear in a specific list and highlight the word or phrase if it appears in the Pages doc. I'm using Word 2008 on a Mac. For instance, my list could contain the words 'solicitor' or 'lawyer' but also the phrase 'employment unfair dismissal'. My list has about 100 words and phrases that I need to search for in each Pages document. Ideally the script or other method would highlight in the Pages doc any of the words or phrases I am searching for. Thanks, Dave.
Hi,
No. My list looks like this:
Contact Law
Solicitor
Solicitors
Lawyer
Lawyers
Legal advice
Specialist solicitor
Specialist solicitors
Barrister
Barristers
Employment solicitor
Employment solicitors
Employment lawyer
Employment lawyers
Employment law
Employment law solicitor
Unfair dismissal
Unfair dismissal claims

Claims for unfair dismissal
Constructive dismissal
Wrongful dismissal

Wrongful dismissal claims
No win no fee employment law
No win no fee employment lawyer
No win no fee employment lawyers
No-win, no-fee solicitor
Plus maybe another 60 words or phrases. What I want to do is take the above list and check these words or phrases for how many times they appear in a Pages document. I can see how you can use the search feature in Pages for single words, but you can't put multiple words or phrases into the search field.
Cheers,
Dave. -
I've been having this problem for awhile now. If I type a word while using firefox (in a form, searching a page for that word/phrase, etc.), Firefox will later (at a seemingly random time) do an automatic search for that word/phrase and redirect me to some site (e.g. if I search a page for 'history', Firefox will at a random time, redirect me to, for example, history.com). I have no idea what might be causing this, and it is really annoying when I'm filling out a form online and Firefox randomly goes to some site, interrupting what I was doing at the time.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

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 lotYou 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 ;)

Windows 8.1 PC, using reader, when searching a folder containing approx 100 doc's. If i search for a word, no results are returned. only the doc names can be found but nothing from within the doc.
This is a new problem and was not the case before.Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
You write that it worked "before"; before what? An update? Update from what version to what version? -
Tell me Logic for search for duplicate words(or strings) in a large file.
Search for duplicate words (or strings) in a text file containing one word per line. For each word that occurs more than once in the flat file output should be as follows
<word> <number of occurrences> <line numbers in the file where the word occurs>
For example, if the word Hello occurs thrice in a file at lines 100, 178 and 3456 the output should read
Hello, 3, [100, 178, 3456]Incidentally i wrote similar code some days back. You need to do some modifications to get the exact output you want, but i hope it will be of some help.
One more thing its written using JAVA5
public class Test
private static final String COLLECTIONS_TEXT = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\amrainder\\Desktop\\Collections.txt";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
findDuplicateWords();
private static void findDuplicateWords() throws IOException
Collection<String> words = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
File file = new File(COLLECTIONS_TEXT);
StreamTokenizer streamTokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new FileReader(file));
int token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
while(token != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
if(token == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD)
words.add(streamTokenizer.sval);
token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
System.out.println(words);
}Cheers,

How to search for a word in a text editor
Hi,
I have created a custom container and added some text to it. Is there any method to search for words in this?Lilan,
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str>
Function
<pattern>
Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>.
Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern>
A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>*
Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Pls. Mark -
BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results
To recreate this bug:
1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook. Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines". -
Search for more words one time
Goodmorning, as long someone could help me with the other issue http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1057325?tstart=0 I have another question for you.
I need to search for a specific list of words but I want to search only one time... So for example if I'm searching 3 different words HELLO - GOODBYE - CIAO I want that acrobat perform the searches in the same time and let me see how many times the words are repeated.
I try with the advanced search but I can only search one word at time... I see there is a command under tools>protection>find and remove text (hope I have translate right from Italian software) to search for different words in the same time but the problem is that it can't report how many times thw words are repeated. As you see I need a mix of the two tools
Do you have some suggestions?
Hope to read you soon. Thanks,
Luca
PS: I know I can do that with the boolean expression but in this way acrobat doesn't separate the rusults.It will work with any of the smart album criteria - file menu ==> new smart album
The easiest way to see is to take a look at what is available there - and make a smart album or two - if you don't like them just drag them to the iPhoto trash and do another one

Will not search for a word in pdf file. Using Windows 7

Search for multiple words in a field?
is there a way to search for multiple words in a field? for example, if i have a metadata field called NOTES that contains the string "Joe and Bob created this version on Sunday" is there a way to search for "Sunday, Joe, Bob" and have it return the asset?
Search using the "Matches Word" option instead of "Contains". That will limit your results to only assets that have a field value that includes all three of those terms. If they are not all included in the same field value, it will not return a hit. So if "Sunday" were in Keywords and "Joe" & "Bob" are in Notes, you would not get a hit for that search with "Matches Word".
"Contains" searches for the contiguous string in any field on the assets.
Further, if you add your Notes field to the Metadata Group "Asset Filter", it will appear in your advanced search options, asset subscription filters, and search expired responses. Then you can specifically limit the search to that field and choose from "Matches Word', "Contains", and several other search filters. Note that when you use "Matches Word" this way, you need to eliminate spaces from your comma delimited list of words or you will not get the search hits you want. -
Search for a word in a sentence
hi,
Is there a function module which can search for a word in a sentence or string?
thanks,
rakshaIf String1 CP 'CNF# ' or String1 CP '# CNF' or String1 CP '*# CNF# *'.
flag = 'True'.
endif.
CP (Contains Pattern):
The complete string string1 matches the pattern.
The pattern can contain ordinary characters and wildcards.
'*' stands for any character string and '+' denotes any character.
'ABCDE' CP 'CD' is true;
'ABCDE' CP '*CD' is false;
'ABCDE' CP '+CD' is true;
'ABCDE' CP '+CD*' is false;
'ABCDE' CP 'BD*' is true;
The character '#' has a special meaning. It serves as an escape symbol and indicates that the very next character should be compared "exactly". -
Search for a word in a string.
Hello everybody,
Could anybody help me how to search for a word in a string ?
Example: I have a string as below:
String[] weather = {"snow", "rain", "sunny", "temperature", "storm", "freezing"};
And I have a sentence like this:
"Today is a sunny day"
I want to break this sentence to pickup the word "sunny" and search this word in String[] weather to see if they match. How could i do that?
Thank you very much. I really appreciate.
still_learn1 iterate through the strings in your array.
2. use String.indexOf(...) to test if the query string is present in the string -
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
RRSimple 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.
