Structured Search/Replace
Greetings:
I have been given an xml file that originated in a low cost xml editor. When I open the document in Frame 9, the document has extraneous spaces before and after various tags.
The most bothersome are those that appear after start tags. For example:
<para> Now is the time ....
Other editors I've worked with allow you to search for a "<para> " and replace it with "<para>", the text representation of the tag.
I see Frame supports regular expressions in Find/Replace but I can't find any documentation to describe how to use it.
Anyone have any idea how I can elminate rogue spaces before and after various start/end tags in Frame?
thanks in advance.

Hi Baejc...
In FM, you can't search on tags .. you can search for a tag, but not the actual tag markup. I actually don't know of a way to fix the problem you're seeing once the file has been opened in FM (aside from developing a custom plugin or script that would clean it up). This problem is caused because the XML file you're opening has been pretty-printed (I'm guessing). FM treats all space within a tag as "content" .. this includes whitespace in parent tags as well .. this ends up typically being NOT what you want.
One solution is to open the XML file in a plain text editor or an tag-based XML editor and "un-pretty-print" the file by removing the leading tabs or spaces on all lines. If this isn't a viable solution, you will need to introduce an import XSLT script to your structured application. This will cleanse your file of the unwanted whitespace before it's opened in FM. For an excellent discussion of this subject, visit the following URL ..

Good luck!

Search / Replace in Acrobat Pro 9 ??
I have a PDF that needs some significant editing. I can't go back to the source. I could accomplish a lot with a search / replace tool. I've been searching through the help files and information online and I can't figure out if there is a search/replace tool in this product. I have found the search / redact tool, but no search / replace. Does anyone know if Acro Pro 9 has this feature? If not, is there a free plugin that could do this...? and in which version of Acrobat did they introduce search/replace?
ThanksYes there is search replace in newer versions, at least according to Adobe. see here:
Acrobat Help | Searching PDFs
Find and replace text in PDFs
Find and replace text in a PDF
The Find toolbar searches the currently open PDF. You can selectively replace the search term with alternative text. You replace text one instance at a time. You cannot make a global change throughout a PDF or across multiple PDFs.
Choose Edit > Find (Ctrl/Command+F).
Type the text you want to search for in the text box on the Find toolbar.
To replace text, click Replace With to expand the toolbar, then type the replacement text in the Replace With text box. -
Logical Database - PNPCE - Hide 'Org Structure' 'Search Help' etc buttons
Hi,
We have created a report by making a z copy of RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES. In the Z version we need to hide the buttons on the titlebar of the selection screen.
Buttons are
- Org Structure
- Search Help
- Dynamic Selection
- Selection Fields.
Can you please suggest if I can do something from the code ?
Regards,
Chiranjeevi.Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, there is no title bar method that we can modify to remove the buttons. I have created a Z report Category by copying the existing one and made the modifications.
In that we can hide/display UI elements which are displayed by Logical Database.

Chiranjeevi. -
Replace words with images, in a table, using the search/replace tool
Hello everybody
I have a question:

My case:

Is it possible to replace it automatically?

Search & replace text programmatically in pdf file
I need to search & replace text programmatically (preferably in .NET c#) in existing pdf file.
Does anyone know how to do it (maybe with with Acrobat SDK) ?
Thanks in advance!

PS: Well done working example :-)Searching APIs are provided, but there no APIs for replacing since that's not a standard operation on a PDF (given the rendering model).

Hello,
I'm busy with a complex 'Numbers' file containing a lot of sheets & tables with many routines formulas.
So basically the major differences between tables are minor changes in the formulas (*'table 1':: M2* becomes *'table 1" :: M3*, etc).
My question is: is it possible to "Search & Replace" in "Formulas" all at once... BUT _in the active sheet ONLY_!
Because up to now the only thing I can to is to "Search & Replace" step by step for each cell (which is taking ages!)... if I choose "Replace all" Numbers is doing it for the all document, not for the active sheet!
Any idea?Can you copy the sheet to a new file - search and replace - then copy back?

Hello All
Is there a way to do a "Search & Replace" in LabVIEW as in other e.g. text based programming languages?
In LabVIEW you can right click at the object and select replace. But when I have many of instances this procedure is getting long.
I know I can save other vi as the given vi, but this will replace also other instances in other projects, which I do not want.
Thanks in advance.
PawelThis could have partial usefulness for sub VIs, but not for plain LabVIEW items (who would want to do a global replace of all "add" with a "multiply"... ;-)
Unlike in text based languages, "replace" is not such a clear cut operation. What do do if the terminals don't match? Often, it requires a manual cleanup.
There are a few workarounds, depending on how your VIs are organized. Are both in user.lib?
For example, if you really need to replace a subVI in a complex application, save it as development distribution, quit LabVIEW, then use explorer to temporarily rename the obsolete subVI and replace it with the new VI using the old name. Now re-open the toplevel VI, doubleclick any instance of your new subVI and give it the new more appropriate name. Save e
verything again and all will be updated to call the new subVI using the new name.
Now rename the old subVI back to what it was so other projects that use it don't choke.

Organize Bookmarks: I want to rename a batch of ~100 bookmarks with search-replace
Organize Bookmarks:
I want to rename a batch of ~100 bookmarks
changing words in the "name" field with search-replace
Please
(a) tell me a work-around, or
(b) program a plugin for a more advanced bookmarks editor.
thanks a lot!You will have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and edit that file to make the change. You need to remove all existing bookmarks before re-importing that changed file or you will have to remove all duplicates. If all the bookmarks that need to be changed are in one folder then you can remove the other bookmarks while editing.

Do you mean Search Help?
If so, then this is an example:

vmva is a search help (have a look at it using se11).
You can easily create your own search helps...

Now once you hit f4 help. The search help will be displayed with all tabs, once you choose the free search tab the respective screen will be displayed.Now if you want to return to other tabs you must choose the button in bottom of the free search screen which is in between "Green tick mark" and "Close button". -

[CC] Search&Replace: Bug only with Regular Expressions
Can you confirm the following behaviour/bug?
Steps to reproduce:
1 Create a new document in DW CC
2 Enter that text in the source code view:
<p>€</p>
3 Open Search&Replace
Field Search in: Current document
Field Search: Text
Field Search (3rd Field): €
Start Search
Result: As expected the "€" is found.
4 [x] Regular Expressions
Start Search
Result: "€" isn't found
Can you reproduce that?
Do you regard that as a bug like me?
If not, why please?
Do you think it is technically impossible for the developers to solve the task?
Do you think the developers forgot to gray out "text" in the choice box and allow regular expressions only in source code?
Thanks.Nice that you like the nick
Sure, I know that I can file a feature wish.
But my main interest in this forum is to know, what other users think about certain features, why they think so, which they miss, which they regard as a bug, ...
When I remember it right, you told me some time ago, that you don't use RegEx.
Than I understand, that everything around that feature is not important for you.
What I like to understand is, why you think the behaviour is logically.
For me it is the opposite.
You get a result with "Scope: Text", "[ ]RegEx".
And you get no result with "Scope: Text", "[x]RegEx".
Incredible strange.
I would appreciate, if you could explain more detailed your view.
