Searching for special symbols

Is there any way of searching, in Reader XI (using Windows XP, for example), for special characters such as u-unlaut, e-acute, or the math'Scientific symbol 6,29 (a small black upward-pointing triangle)?

It appears that Reader search is treating accenter characters the same way as un-accented characters; i.e. searching for 'ü' will return the same results as for 'u'.
I don't know about your mathematical symbol; is that a Unicode character?

Search for Special Character in Oracle Text CONTAINS Query

Hi,
We have to write few query which will search for email id in the Oracle Text.
The Search text will be like <[email protected]> .
So email id should be searched correctly with the @ symbol.
Similarly we want the following special character to be searched in the Text like ",',*

You will need to escape the special characters by either using \ in front of each special character or putting {} around the whole phrase that contains the special characters, as per the online documentation:

If so, I strongly urge you to reconsider this as it is fraught with dangers. Instead have your ArrayList hold only one Type of object. This type may be represented by a class, interface, enum, etc.

Script to search for special data in folder

Hi,
I use several folders, which have several data called .txt at the end. Some of the folder have no .txt datas and some folder have one or two of .txt datas.
I want to write a script which makes it possible for me to search for the .txt datas in the folders and let me know the Name of the data.
At the moment, I have no idea how to search in folders for special data.
Maybe somebody of you know how I could programme this code?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Mosquito

Hello Mosquito,
There is no Script required to do what you are trying to do based on my understanding of your explanation.
You just need to follow these two steps:
1. Add ALL the directories you wish to search for you *.TXT files to the DataFinder Search Areas, be selecting a grey folder in the NAVIGATOR, right-clicking the folder and then selecting "Add Search Area ...". This will ass the grey folder to the "Search Areas" = Yellow folders on top the the tree view in the "My DataFinder" view of the NAVIGATOR.
2. In the NAVIGATOR panel, find the text box on top of the file system hierarchy view, and type "*.txt" into the <Enter search text> field as shown in the screen shot below. Press the "Search" button to the right of the text field, and you will get a list of all *.txt files that are contained within your yellow search area directories.
That's it. No scripting required ...
Let me know if that helps.

Special Price + Formatted Search for Special Price.

Hi all,
Appreciate some help here. Our client is using SAP B1 2007 Patch 38. AU/NZ localization, Local Currency = AUD.
Scenario:
Item A, Price List 1 = $2795, Price List display = 4 decimals, Price List Currency = USD
Special price for Item A has been set up as follows:
Step 1 - Go to Item> Price List> Price and Volumne Discount
Step 2 - The price and volumn discount screen opened. From the drop down, select price list and then select Item A by double clicking the line.
Step 3 - Period Discount screen opened. Valid from = 9th July 2008. Price = $2795.
Step 4 - Double click the line, Volume Discount Price List open, with the following details maintained.
Quantity=1, Discount=0, Special Price = $2795.
Quantity = 10, Discount=7.1556, Special Price = $ 2595.0010
Quantity = 100, Discount=10.0179, Special Price=$ 2514.9997
Question: we intend to put in Special price = $2595 and $2515, but SAP just does its own round up. Is there a way to work around?
Scenario 2:
To deal with the problem from Question 1, we have created a formatted search in the sales order and formatted search to round up the value in Line Total.
Column = Line Total
Trigger by = Quantity
Query = SELECT (case when $[$63.0.0]='USD' then Round($[$38.23.number],0) else $[$38.23.number] end)
Column = Quantity
Trigger by = Discount%
Query = SELECT $[$38.11.1]
The above set up works fine, if the user enter the quantity correctly the first time.
Eg:
User enter Qty = 10, SAP will display Discount = 7.1556 % and Line Total = $25,950.00 (Round up from $25950.01).
If user notice the quantity is wrong and then enter new quantity = 100, the discount remains at 7.1556%, it should be 10.0179%.
Question: Is there a way to work around this?

Hi Shawn ,
1.First check the decimal setting
a.Administration --> system intilisation --Document setting -- currency or by document --
b.System initiliaisation ---> general settng --->Display
c.Administration set up->Financial currency ---rounding --???
Currency setting overides the rounding method of procedure B
Scenario2
Since your trigger is dicount percentage , You will not get the desired output from the formatted search . Try to get the trigger at quantity .
Hope that helps

Is there a way to narrow app searches for special education for adults?

I wish to locate easy to use apps for a high functioning adult with Down syndrome but all items seem to be for youth. Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find stuff? There are many more Down syndrome adults around now but resources for them seem to be missing.
What simplified adult programs might I locate?

I googled
apps for a high functioning adult with Down syndrome
and found this as the third hit:
http://adultdownsyndromeclinic.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/apps-to-use-for-and-by-peo ple-with-ds.html
unfortunately the link is dead but the actual article is here:
http://ndsccenter.org/worpsite/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/NDSC-Down-Syndrome-New s-April-2012.pdf
That's as close as I can find to what you want (it's still a little aimed at children). I don't think you can do better here since this is a forum for assistance with technical faults and I think you'll do better asking on a forum for those helping people with DS.

Verity Search for Special Character

I am using simple search in CFSEARCH and need to find a word
like "@Google". CFSearch always ignores the @ sign and find all the
documents with word "Google". I only want it to match the word
where there is a @ in front of Google.
Anyway to do that? I have tried the backslash and it didn't
work.
Thanks,
Brian

Have you tried using EXPLICIT or INTERNET query types rather

Cannot search for "@" symbol when using search function

I am trying to create a calculated column which extracts the domain part of an email address. My problem is that no type of search formula (SEARCH or FIND) seems to be able to recognise the "@" symbol so I get an error stating that
"The search TEXT provided to function 'SEARCH' could not be found in the given text"
Even more bizarre is that if I do just a general search in my table (CTRL + F from inside Powerpivot) it cannot find @ symbols either. Could someone please explain why PowerPivot cannot search for the @ symbol (I haven't tested others) and whether there
is a solution?
The formula I was trying to use was:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1, LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)),"")
Obviously with A1 replaced by the column name of where my email data is stored.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Both FIND() and SEARCH() should find the "@" in PowerPivot.
I have done it many times.
You probably have one row in your data set that doesn't contain "@". That will cause the error you describe and if one row in a Calculated Column causes an error, every row has an error if you do nothing to account for it.
Try wrapping your formula in an IFERROR([Your Formula], BLANK()).
This should allow it to run successfully on valid rows and will show a blank on any rows that are causing problems.
Once you identify the problem row (or rows) you can make a decision about how to deal with it.

Searching for En-Dash or Em-Dash vs Hyphen

Greetings,
I use Acrobat 6.0 to edit Framemaker documents that have been converted ("Save As" I believe, not "Print to PDF") to PDF files.
I have a huge document and am searching to find proper use of hyphens vs En or Em dashes, but when I search for either hyphen, En-dash (Alt+0150) Em-dash (Alt+0151), my search results include all three.
I've tried using quotation marks around each item, but then I don't get any results, though my personal notes say to use quotation marks for fancy searches. I am able to find asterisks, slashes, and the like.
I could just search for hyphens and look at them all, but with 3827 found, that's a LOT of looking!
Is there a way to search for special characters that might catch the difference between a hyphen and a dash?
Thanks,
Solon

OS X and iOS are both Unicode and creating a character like that should not depend on the font unless the user has added something very non-standard to his system.
I was referring to how the characters look with different font faces. E.g., here is what they look like in LucidaGrande where the width for dash and en-dash are virtually the same:
- (dash)
– (alt-dash)
— (shift-alt-dash)

Search in file for exact phrase with special symbols [windows 8.1]

When I search, for example, for 'name.txt' in file content it seems that it finds all files with 'name' and 'txt' in any order.
Windows 7 seems to have options related to this, like 'use natural language' and 'find partial matches'. But I see nothing in windows 8.
Please let me know if it's possible to search for exact phrase with special symbols.
Thanks.

When I search, for example, for 'name.txt' in file content it seems that it finds all files with 'name' and 'txt' in any order.
You need to either use the Search tools or learn the Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) that they imply. Actually you need to do both because the tools only help with the keyword prefix and not with the following syntax that is required to do the specific
search that you want to do.
So, for example, you knew that you wanted to find name.txt only in file (or directory?) names so you would use the Other Properties > Name tool to be sure that your query had that prefix Name:name.txt
In fact, that was a surprise for me just now because I thought the default syntax for Name with no other specification would be "contains" (which would be Name:~=name.txt) but apparently it defaults to Name:~<name.txt which means
"begins with" name.txt. In fact, from an efficiency point of view that is probably a logical default. But from a usability point of view it is terrible because it means that when users really want Name:name.txt to mean either
"contains" or "ends with" they won't have a clue what to do to make those differences.

Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes. Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

Searching for the number in the bigint value...

HI!
Could anybody help me with the searching for the number in the bigint value. ex:
9567423742840 i need to get only the 2nd and 3rd number (56) from this value...
^^
and the same thing with symbols in the strings..
is there any special function in jsp available for that?
thanks

try looking into the String class. There should be a substring or similar function that lets u get only a part of another string. You can convert the int into a string by doing something like new Integer(yourIntValue).toString() and then using that string for your substring function. There may be other ways to do it too, but this is the one I remember off the top of my head.
Hope it helps

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,
raksha

If 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".

When I go to google on firefox and search for a topic, I try to open a website and another website (morsearch, clickkick, etc) will open up instead into a new search engine with the same topic . What is this?

I go to google. I type in "plants". A lot of sites will pop up in google. I click on a site (does not matter which usually). The site will then start to switch to a new url from (click kick, morsearch, etc) turning into a new search engine with the same topic and more options. I never get to the page I want unless I type the url directly into the address box. It always comes back with a search engine. So far I have found this only happens while starting in a search engine. When I get into the actual page, everything is fine. I am using McAfee for security and it hasn't caught a virus or anything yet. Help please! Thanks!
