  • Please, give me an advise how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)

    Hello! Sorry for the troubling.

    Please, give me an advice how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)

    Thank you!

    My answer was based on your question to find numbers anywhere in the data to an xml file.  If you know that the data is digital data and the names of the nodes that contains this data, you do not have to check the characters and can only check numerical data using string values...

    function searchXMLFile(Event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    searchDisplay.text = "";
    var pageList:XMLList = xmlFileToSearch.receipt.number;
    searchDisplay.text = "false";
       
    for (var i: int = 0; i< pagelist.length();="">
    {

    If (pageList [i] == searchInput.text) {}
    searchDisplay.text = "true";
    }

    }
    }

    Even if you are looking for individual digital characters in the previous code that you would have always done by a false exit due having the line 'false' always cancel the real line...

    If (t.toString () .indexOf (m_sSearchTerm)! = - 1).

    {

    searchDisplay.text = "true";

    }

    searchDisplay.text = "false";  This will always overwrite the textfield

    I'm stumbling around Windows 8 that came pre-loaded on my new laptop.  I ordered Windows and Excel to be included in the package.  I saved a number of documents in Word, and now I need to get these documents for a particular.  I looked on the Internet and found a lot of no-help, that is to say, 'go in search of a file'.  Excuse me, but if I could find searching a file, I could probably find out how to search for the file, Huh?  Thus,.

    I did the thing 'sweep to the right side of the screen"to get those things shadow to appear, and click on the magnifying glass (which I think the engineers forgot to change when they changed everything!) and if I wanted to search for apps, I'd be in great shape.  But his files I'm looking for, Word documents.  The designers of this 'new' version improved - well, new, in all cases seem to have forgotten those of use who use computers for productive work and not socialize or play games.

  • How to search for files by their content?

    How can I perform a search in windows 7, where he seeks in fact the content of the files?  Let's say I had a text called "mytext.txt" document and in this file was the text 'Hello World '...  How to make windows 7 return "mytext.txt" so if I did a search for the word 'Hello '?

    Hi angry bananas.

    The default function of Windows 7 search is such that it searches the text in the file name and content; in the file properties, such as in tags and. Therefore, in your scenario once you start to type Hello, you should get mytext.txt into the search results.

    Please see these articles using Windows for more information on the search for Windows 7.

  • How to search for files in a subfolder

    Hello

    I'm trying to get the files of WebCenter Content11.1.1.8 using RIDC (see the code example).

    IdcClientManager Manager = new IdcClientManager();

    IdcClient idcClient = manager.createClient ("idc://localhost:4444"); ")

    UserContext IdcContext = new IdcContext (username, passwoord); fill the binder with the settings

    DataBinder binding = idcClient.createBinder ();

    binder.putLocal ("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");

    binder.putLocal ("QueryText", "dDocFullText < contains > < qsch >" + "blah" + "< /qsch >");

    binder.putLocal ("SearchEngineName", "oracletextsearch");

    binder.putLocal ("ResultCount", "20");

    ServiceResponse response = idcClient.sendRequest (userContext, binder);

    DataBinder serverBinder = response.getResponseAsBinder ();

    binding = response.getResponseAsBinder ();

    ResultSet DataResultSet = binder.getResultSet ("SearchResults"); loop through the results

    System.out.println ("found documents:" + "\n" + "");

    }

    Documents found:

    The title is: blah blah, author is: jcooper, Extension is: docx

    The title is: search for text in the document, author is: jcooper, Extension is: txt

    The title is: is a blah document, the author is: jcooper, Extension is: txt

    Now that I get all the files in the WebCenter.  My question is how can I get the files in a subfolder. (by example/folders/my folder/Test1)?

    Do you have any advice?

    Kind regards
    Rigassi

    Hi Rigassi,

    The text of the query should be changed and made like this:

    binder.putLocal ("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");

    binder.putLocal ("QueryText', '(xParentFolders '074D286A703B4082DCC6CAF4C86D0853' ) (test)');

    binder.putLocal ("SearchEngineName", "oracletextsearch");

    binder.putLocal ("AdvSearch", "True");

    binder.putLocal ("ResultCount", "20");

    Try this, it will list the content items that are present in the parent folder and its subfolders.

    Thank you

  • How to search for a particular word by selecting multiple text files

    Hello

    I have hundreads of text files and I need to search a particular word in these bunch of txt files.

    How do so by selecting all files and search for the word. I do not want to open each file and search for the word.

    I use Windows 7 here.

    Please suggest.

    Thank you...

    Anand

    I don't think that we are able to select the files to search, but what you can do, is have all files in a folder that is searched for.  Open a window for the folder that contains the files and use the Windows search box in the upper right of this window.  If you are looking for 'bread', enter:

    content: bread

    At the same time, if you want to restrict the search to the txt files, then enter

    content: bread ext:txt
