TestStand Design Search/Replace Functionality
We are in the process of changing from using Measurement Studio/Visual Basic to using TestStand as the test executor. (We are just learning to use TestStand and LabView.)
Currently, all testing is done using VB as the low level calls, and VB scripting for the test automation.
Our plan is to start by putting the VB low level code into an Active-X DLL and as time permits, move the low level code to LabView.
The question is, as we create replacement functions using LabView, how do we Replace the Active-X DLL calls with the LabView functions?
My first thought was to use "Search and Replace" (as there is in most other language enviornments) but I can't find such a function in TestStand. IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS?
M
y other thought is to somehow create a subsequence for EACH library call that points to a single block for that function, where that single block can be changed from the Active-X DLL call to a LabView call.
Examples would be that we have a Read/Write Parameter function as:
ReturnStatus=DLL_Parameter(Name,Instance,Value,Mode)
We would eventually create a new function in Labview and would want to replace ALL instances of the DLL call with a similar LabView function.
How do we design this in?

Unfortunately a search/replace feature has only been introduced in the new TestStand V3.0. It allows for searching and some replacing of values, properties, etc. however this may not help what you are describing.
It is possible to write you own custom search/replace code that uses the TestStand API and can scan through a sequence file for particular step names or types and then insert a new LabView Step and remove the old DLL call step.
If you need to keep the DLL parameters you can access them using the Step.TS.SData cluster. (You may need to set the �Show Hidden Properties� in the Station Options to see this in the Sequence Editor).
Check out the TestStand API Reference and some of the Examples included in TestStand on how to use it.
Hope this helps

Search & Replace function in Files?
Does there exist a "Search & Replace String" function for Files IO? ...preferable RandomAccessFile.
Or do I have to make my own parser from scratch.
Anyone know of free code that exists somewhere? This seems like a function that someone must have made at least or has a use for.
Thanks for any! :)
rasmasyeanThe JDeveloper Editor provides Search & Replace functionality for files.
What I typically do is
Select menu: Search | Search Source Path...
Enter Search String and Change Source path
and other fields and press Start
Then the Navigator displays a Search tab which lists all files with the matching string.
Double click on first file in navigator and
select menu Search | Replace
In this dialog enter your search, replace, and other options-
In the Options, If you do not want to be prompted, do not check the Prompt on replace option.
Select the Scope of Global
Selectg the Origin of Entire
When you are ready press the Multiple button to make multiple replacements.
When you are done with this file,
Press Ctrl-S to Save the file
Press Ctrl-F4 to close the window
Double click on the Next File
Press Ctrl-R to invoke the Search | Replace dialog.
You should not need to change any options.
Press Alt-M to select the Multiple Button!
While this may seem more complex then a simple Sed / Perl / Python script, it is more controllable, flexible and user friendly.
Besides, you may learn a few JDeveloper tricks.
Good Luck,

Search/replace function for Lightroom?
I am trying to find out if there is a way of finding and replacing certain text in the metadata in a quick and easy way. I need to change something on all my photos in LR. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot in advance.
Rob,
Thanks for response.
I understand that Lightroom has a SDK for plugins and this is a really good thing as it does allows others to tweak and enhance functionality without relying on Adobe. I have been a user of Lightroom since the very first user trials and think it is a great product. I have watched it develop over the last 5 or 6 years.
I do think it is more than just an image editor. Lightroom has always been promoted since day one as a new and better image database and workflow management tool. It is for this reason that question why Adobe has not closed some (I think) gaps in functionality consistent with Lightroom fullfilling its purpose as an Image library/Database management tool. It has certainly had the search capabilities included since day one of all metadata, consistent with a management tool.
For the work I have been doing lately, Search and replace would be useful as I have been cleaning up metadata in various libraries. Hence while I agree it is not used every day, it would be a very useful maintenance tool.
I thought I had posted this originally as a response to a similra request in the Lightroom Feature request forum, apparently not. I did try (today) to start a new feature request but I was blocked from starting new threads in that sub-forum. Hopefully someone else with access to that forum will pick up on this and transfer the request to the Feature Request forum. -
Replace function in JDeveloper 3.2

[DW CC] Batch Search & Replace
The GUI of the function search & replace does not offer any batch processes.
Only one single search&replace could be saved and performed.
Is there any way to perform a batch job via regular expressions in a file which can be applied?
And to same different scopes (as in the GUI)?
current document
open documents
folder
marked files
complete site
text
source code
Is there may be an extensions which pimps the search&replace function?
That's one of my mostly missed features since a long time.
If you have a hint for me, I would appreciate that a lot.
Thanks!mistershortcut wrote:

I usually use PHP includes to avoid having complex sites with many documents to edit.
Generally speaking, I can completely modify the layout of my entire site by editing a handful of includes, then uploading them. If I have repetitive content in many locations, it's either coming from the same place in a database or added by an include. Either way, a simple change to the include or data takes care of it.
It's pretty rare for a site I create to have more than about 10-15 actual pages. When they get larger than that, I typically convert them to being dynamically driven (php and mysql). -
First off, I run CFB2 as a plugin to FB 4.5 on Win7 64bit. All was working properly until I installed the FB 4.6 release. Now, my "ColdFusion Search" no longer performs a replace. When I hit CTL+F I get the ColdFusion Search dialog like normal, type in my search criteria and hit Find it finds a match. If I hit Find All it finds all matches. So far so good. Now if I hit Replace All it does the search, but then I never get the "ColdFusion Replace Dialog". It just opens up my search view and shows my matches. Even if I use a single Replace it does not replace.
I've uninstalled FB 4.6 and CFB2 completely and re-installed and have the same problem. When I uninstall FB 4.6 and CFB2 then re-install with FB 4.5 and CFB2 the problem goes away.
Note: I have tried with and without the CFB2 hotfix 1 with same results.
So, am I the only one or should I log a bug report? I really want to use the new FB 4.6 features for our Air3 development, but can't sacrifice something as critical as a search/replace function on my CF stuff, and two standalone installs would defeat the purpose of having the IDE built on Eclipse.I, too, am more than a little annoyed at the problematic "Find' function in files opened via RDS. The only way to get it to actually find anything is to do a replace on the same term! When I try to "Find All" I get a "No open file." message. The hotfix has done nothing to fix this problem.

Replace() function doesn't work in Application Designer?
I'm using PeopleSoft Application Designer 8.51. I'm trying to do a simple Replace function so I can escape single quotes rather than allow them to blow up the sql query.
&deptid = Replace(&deptid, "'", "''");
App Designer chokes when I hit Save: "Invalid function parameter type. (2,19)"
According to the docs I'm using this correctly: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26239_01/pt851h3/eng/psbooks/tace/book.htm?File=tace/htm/tace14.htm#H4095
Even if I try to execute the example right out of the documentation, I get the same error: REPLACE("StringFun", "Fun", "Number");
Is this a bug in app designer? REPLACE is a super common thing, it's not something obscure. How can this not work?
Thanks in advance.I figured this out. “Replace” is a strange duck function that relies on offsets. “Substitute” is the magic I needed, works just like I was expecting Replace to work. The documentation I was reading on Replace was for “ PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine” rather than peoplecode. I’ll pay closer attention to that next time. Maybe this will help someone else...

Joker characters in the search and replace function
Hello everyone,
Just a quick question :
I was wondering what character can be used as a joker character in the search and replace function (I did a research in the site, but didn't find any thread)
To be clear, I have misspelled a word, for example «trouser».
I know I didn't make any mistake with the first and last letter, but sometimes I wrote it «tourser», «turoser»
(sorry if there is a weird meaning, i'm french, and for me it won't mean anything, so don't take it personally)
I would like to be able te replace all the versions of «trouser», even the good ones, using «t*****r» in the search and replace function.
I tried the «*» character, but it's not the jocker.
Thank you for your help !As I can't edit my first message, just wanted to let you know it's also called «wildcard» characters
Like here (Careful, it's… Ms Office) -
Hi there,
does anybody found a function in dreamweaver CS3
that convertes special characters into entities??
i can´t believe that there is no function like that
but i´ve searched too many hours without finding
any post for this problem...
and i also can´t believe that the only solution is to
change
every single character by search and replace-function...?
(for example first "ä" to "ä" then "ö" to
"ö" etc)
in homesite was that function called "replace special
characters into entities"
- why is there no function like that in dreamweaver??
there are sooo many functions dreamweaver, but this important
one is missing...
please - somebody - tell me i just didn´t found it, but
it is there.... :(Unfortunately this doesn't work when working in Code view.

Dreamweaver CS3 uses UTF-8 (Unicode) as the default encoding
for all
pages. Since Unicode supports virtually all written
languages, there is
no need for entities.
If however, you need to convert accented characters to
entities, the
answer is disarmingly simple. Change the default encoding of
your web
pages to iso-8859-1 (Western European). When you paste or
type accented
characters into Design view, Dreamweaver automatically
converts the
underlying code to use entities where appropriate.
There is no separate "convert special characters to entities"
command
within Dreamweaver.

How to use search/find function in a whole book?
Hi,
New to indesign... working on a book file which comprises 25 chapters.
I'd like to do a final proof to ensure all double spaces have gone, all quote marks are right etc
Instead of opening each chapter and using "search/find" through each chapter, can i tell the "search/find" function through the whole book?
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks heapsApparently Adobe thought that would be more appreciated than a book-wide Search/Replace.
You can read all about CS5's new features, and their selection procedure, on http://indesignsecrets.com/michael-ninness-answers-indesign-cs5-critics.php. The "Book" feature doesn't even get mentioned under "Sorry, we didn't change that at all." Also make sure to read the comments -- it seems lots of people really want more book features.
If you're one of them (so it seems), you might want to pay a visit to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform -
I have a BO Webi user who is unable to perform the Replace function. She is able to schedule the report. But, if she wants to change the scheduler by replacing the new time interval, the Replace function doesn't appear. We go into History, click on Action, and click on Reschedule, and there's no Replace appearing in the list (Instance Title, Recurrence, Format & Destination, Caching, Events, Scheduling Server Grou). Replace is missing from the original report scheduled. Does anyone know why? Do I (designer) have to enable some permission on the CMC for this user?
Thanks.It is authorization issue.
check with your admin.

Replace function and '-' character
Hello,
How can I use '-' character in a REPLACE function?
create or replace procedure zd authid current_user as
begin
execute immediate ' create table select ZDK
Replace(SO_HEADER.ZDNUMBER,'' - '','' '') from so_header';
end zd;
Thanks a lot,Hm. I don't see that you want to replace the minus "-". If you truely ment the underscore "_" then you are right. Sometimes it must be escaped since it has the special meaning of "any single character" (same as the ? wildcard for microsoft users). However this is only true for the LIKE operator. Not for the REPLACE function.
examples (non dynamic)
select SUBSTR(Replace('123\456\789\', '\'),7,7) from dual;
789
select SUBSTR(Replace('123_456_789_', '_'),7,7) from dual;
789The escape keyword in not allowed anywhere inside the replace function.
What was your intended input and output?
Just a recommendation. You don't need to specify the third paramater if you just want to remove the search string.
And your insert statement is not dynamic. If you don't create the table dynamically then you can simply write the insert statement inside pl/sql without the need to make it dynamic. This would make testing and debugging much easier!

Is there a setting to restore the old find-replace functionality in TextEdit?
Am I alone in hate, hate, hating the recently new find-replace functionality in TextEdit?
In earlier OSs -- and I'm not sure which was the last to do this -- Ctrl-F would pull up a find window that displayed both find and replace fields. I could type my search term... tab.... and type my replace term... and click "Replace all".
In OS 10.8.4, I hit Ctrl-F and the find field opens... but I have to click a checkbox to do the replace. Then I have to click the "All" field to make it find-replace all.
A quick search of the internet suggests I am the only one to find this annoying enough to register a username at apple.com and ask: Is there a way to make it go back to the old way? I'm getting old and life is already cluttered with too much click-clicking and checking and unchecking.Hi bandwag0n,

I'm trying to create an authentication function that can perform a search/bind.
The algorithm for this is as follows:
1) Bind to the LDAP server as the application (ie: admin username and password)
2) Search the LDAP directory for the sign-in username %userid%
3) Get the DN of that entry
4) Unbind as the application
5) Bind as the sign-in username %userid% with the DN from above
I'm pretty sure that this is possible with the DBMS_LDAP and DBMS_LDAP_UTL packages, but I'm not sure how to put it all together. Does anyone out there know if a function such as this already exists?
Thanks,
