Simple Word Search

Hi all wonder if you can help me. I'm trying to write a little word search style game in java swing. However i'm a little confused as how to start. I want to be able to draw a grid with letters manually placed in it, so something like this:-
a b c a b c d e f
h e l l o w o r l d
a b c a b c d e f
a b c a b c d e f
I want each grid square to have a specific x and y co-ordinate so say h in the grid above would be at co-ordinate [1,1] and e would be [1,2], etc.
If someone could give me a bit of advice on how to get started on this, i would be most grateful!
Regards
Vince

Use a JPanel with a GridLayout and add JLabels to each grid.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

  • Help required to customize Simple/Advanced Search. Need to add new fields

    Hello,
    Module: Oracle Sales Online
    EBS version: 12.1.3
    Jdev version: 10.1.3.3
    Scenario:
    - We are dealing with standard oracle pages.
    - We have TWO "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH"s available. Each "Simple/Advanced Search" can be found by navigating through paths "A --> B" and "A --> B --> C --> D" . Here it means one "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH" page is available at page "B" and another "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH" is available at page "D".
    - In the first search page which is at page "B", both Simple as well as Advanced search has a filter field "Win Probability %", of type VARCHAR2/DROPDOWN with values (10, >=10, <=30, 30, >=30, <=50, 50, >=50, <=70, 70, >=70, <=90, 90, 100)
    - In second search page, referring to page "D", the Simple search DOESN'T have the "Win Probability %". And the Advanced Search page has the "Win Probability %" but it is of type - NUMBER/MessageTextInput type.
    Issue/Requirement:
    - The 2nd Simple/Advanced search pages need to have "WIN PROBABILITY %" field and it should be of VARCHAR2/DROPDOWN with values (10, >=10, <=30, 30, >=30, <=50, 50, >=50, <=70, 70, >=70, <=90, 90, 100) just like the way we had in 1st Simple/Advanced search.
    Note:
    - Again speaking we are dealing with standard oracle pages
    - If you go to the "About this Page", interestingly I found:
    i. The "message component layout" for both of them is from the same region , i.e., ASNOpptympSrchRN
    ii. Rest of the search filters for both the searchs are from common View Object , i.e., OpptySearchVO1 (for Simple search), OpportunityDetailsVO1 (for advanced search)
    iii. The "Stack layout" for both the search pages are same, i.e. XXMASOpptyQryCO
    iv. None of the fields are rendered to false (everything is set to be rendered TRUE)
    Any response is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Anand

    "XXMASOpptyQryCO is the name of stacklayout or CO?
    What is the CO?
    Does both pages share same CO?
    have you already extended the CO "XXMASOpptyQryCO"?
    what is the original CO then? I think in that CO it must be written somewhere, simple search "search allowed = false""
    -Here CO what you are referring is a controller.
    -FYI pages share same controller.
    -And the original controller for both the pages are OpptyUwqCO. Right now its extended controller is XXMASOpptyQryCO
    Fact is I didn't create this search page. It was built by some third party members. Also that I do not have the original source nor the documentation pertaining to it. So could you inform as in how should I navigate to the point "Search Allowed = True"
    I should have informed that at "B" page, it has a region      /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/ASNMgrOpptyQryRN and at page "D", the region is      /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/ASNOpptyQryRN

  • 10G-form: How to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at ITEM?

    I am using 10G DB + 10G Form Builder.
    I've 'database_item' where I am storing multiline text data.
    I want to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at this item through FORM.
    I've tried by creating the following NON Database Items on the form:
    - multiline_search_text_item, and
    - multiline_result__text_item
    And then writing execute_query in KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
    I've also tried using this in the POST-TEXT-ITEM at multiline_search_text_item:
    select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item from table where multiline_search_text_item = :multiline_search_text_item;
    Pl help me asap.
    Gaurav

    What you want to do is not clear.
    The query you wrote will select records where the table contains exactly what has been written in the search item. You can use LIKE and a wildcard search to find records which contain the search text:
    select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
    from table
    where multiline_search_text_item LIKE '%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%';
    You can use UPPER to make this case insensitive:
    select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
    from table
    where Upper(multiline_search_text_item) LIKE Upper('%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%');
    But I suspect you want either to match the individual words in the search text to individual words in the database multiline field, or find records where the search words appear (not necessarily as whole words). In that case, check out the following:
    -- set up a table (multiline and various whitespaces)
    DROP TABLE t;
    CREATE TABLE t AS
    SELECT
      ROWNUM rn,
      owner||Chr(9)||object_name||Chr(160)||subobject_name||'    '||object_id||' '||
      data_object_id||Chr(10)||object_type||' '||created||' '||last_ddl_time||' '||
      timestamp||' '||status||' '||temporary||' '||generated||' '||secondary AS col
    FROM all_objects;
    -- check the format of the multiline text item (col)
    SELECT * FROM t WHERE ROWNUM < 4;
    -- a type for the function below
    CREATE TYPE string_tab AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255);
    -- this function takes a string and cuts out each word, idetifying words
    -- as being separated by any whitespace.  it returns a collection
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION string_to_tab(
      p_string IN VARCHAR2) RETURN string_tab IS
      l_string LONG DEFAULT
        RTrim(regexp_replace(p_string,'[[:space:]]+',' ')) || ' ';
      l_data string_tab := string_tab();
      n NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      LOOP
        EXIT WHEN l_string IS NULL;
        n := InStr(l_string, ' ');
        l_data.extend;
        l_data(l_data.Count) := LTrim(RTrim(SubStr(l_string, 1, n - 1)));
        l_string := SubStr(l_string, n + 1);
      END LOOP;
      RETURN l_data;
    END string_to_tab;
    -- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text has
    -- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
    -- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
    SELECT DISTINCT

    FROM
      t,
      (SELECT column_value
       FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x

       FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
    WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0
    GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
    WHERE cnt = cnt_x;
    -- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text
    -- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
    SELECT DISTINCT
      t.rn, t.col
    FROM
      t,
      (TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,

    WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value;

       FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
    WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value
    GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
    WHERE cnt = cnt_x;For your application you would replace 'SYS INDEX' with a variable (the search field). You can use upper() and wildcards for case insensitive & 'fuzzy' searches. You might need to modify the function so it removes other delimiters such as commas and colons.

  • How do you perform partial word search using PDF Open Parameters?

    Hello,
    We are using the 'search=' open parameter in the URL string, which open a PDF and automatically searches for a word within the PDF.  It works great for whole word searches. Unfortunately, it does not work for partial word, or phrases. In other words, if I'm searching on '123456' and there is a word in the document that is '1234567', it will not find the partial word, or first 6 characters of the 7 character word. You can perform a partial or phrased search using the advance search feature of Adobe Reader.  So, currently after the PDF opens, and shows no hits on the automatic search for '123456', we are able to manually search again for a partial word search, and then see matches in the document.  Is there any way to specify to use a whole or partial word search when using the 'search=' open parameter, so that we can automatically match on partial and whole words?  Something like 'search=123456*'?

    It never worked that way. Command-F shows the page search bar.

    Good morning,
    i need to visualize a custom field in the OIM simple user search result table. At the moment, when a simple user search is performed, the returned attribute is only the "Display Name".
    For the advanced user search result table, is possible to add other fields modifying the Search Results table configuration in Advanced->User configuration->Search Configuration.
    How can i do the same the for simple user search result?
    Thank you.

    Yes, i tried to add my custom attribute to both Simple and Adv search result table, but without luck. Only Display Name column attribute is shown when a simple search is performed.

    Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites.

  • My iphone 5 has the word searching in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I can connect to the net , but no phone service. What is possibly wrong?

    WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?

    When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?

  • Word search image

    Hi guys,
    This one's quite advanced...
    I'm working on a online book project that takes a .pdf,
    converts each page into a JPEG and stores them to a unique folder.
    I have created a flash file that the user is directed to upon the
    .pdf's upload which detects via a querystring, the folder location,
    and total number of pages. This, as you have probibly guessed, is
    the online book, which has all the bells and whistles of page turn
    animations, a goto page function etc...
    My problem is this:
    I need the application to have a word search function. I know
    that ideally the .pdf would have been converted to text, but I
    couldn't as the layout of test to images was nowhere near perfect
    on the tests I ran.
    Is there any OCR styled approach that I could use in flash? I
    have created JAVA applets which have performed this task before,
    but never within a .swf.
    An option is to install an OCR program on the server which
    will run dynamically after the .pdfs upload, and store the text
    into a database, however, at best (I assume), this will only allow
    the user to be taken to the page, and not the line, let alone
    creating a transulcent highlight, for example, over the top of the
    text.
    I don't expect an answer, but any feedback would be geatly
    appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know the answer for OCR. I would be inclined to try
    investigagate ways to avoid it that would involve loading the the
    content into a swf format...e.g. like flashpaper... or search for
    some other way to convert the pdf to swf whilst retaining the
    formatting/appearance.
    The flashpaper API has for example text searching capability
    built in - I'm just not sure how much of the interface you can hide
    (or may not be permitted to via the licencing agreement). And if
    necessary then its also possible to use bitmapData copies of a swf
    format if you need to manipulate it as an image once the swf has
    loaded.
    Of course if the original source is bitmap you would still
    need to adress the OCR problem. Don't know if that helps.

  • Whole-word search in project

    I'm running RH for HTML Help X4.1 on Windows XP. I want to
    search through all the text in all of the topics for a particular
    word or word string. Is that possible? I can't find anything that
    lets me do that? I realize this is NOT Win Help where I'd be

    to do a whole-word search of the project. Thanks.

    Just a word of warning. It is good practice to close your RH
    project down as the in built tool does occasionally fail to spot
    instances in open topics/projects. Personally most authors on here
    prefer to use other tools (e.g.
    FAR or
    BkReplacem).

    I can delete my Internet history but I can't delete my words searched in different web sites. Would you like to help me?

    Hi Niel,
    There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
    and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
    If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
    or dumps in ST22?
    If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
    and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
    to correct any errors.
    If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
    to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
    remodelling rule again.
    Best Regards,
    Des.
