    Hello

    How can I search for 32-bit in .csv file usinf labview 8.6.1 hexadecimal number

    Mathan,

    This post was not really a solution.  He just ordered Sandy to post in the appropriate forum, which we now know is LabVIEW 8.6.1 LV.

    Sandy,

    You want to read the text file, then use the search/Split String function to find the matching characters that make up your hexagonal pattern.

    What you ask is a little strange wordly since .csv files are text files, and you ask a "32-bit hexadecimal number.  Can you give an example of what you are looking for?  My response assumes you have a 8 string that consists of the characters 0-9, A - F for catch the 4 bytes.  Maybe you are dealing with just 4 bytes that present themselves as ASCII characters in a text file.  In which case you wouldn't have one. CSV file.

    If the response of research/Split String is not useful to you, you will need to provide details about what you are looking for and also an example of your. CSV file.

    Hello, I want to seek a photo (.jpg), photography is as the name of 5225.jpg, which consists of four digits. How can I search for all photos that have names composed of four numbers? Thank you

    To do this, type this in your search box (exactly as it is, including quotation marks):

    It will search for all files that have exactly 4 characters followed by .jpg at the end.

  • How can I search using a word or phrase in the file?

    I can't find anything using windows 7. How can I search using the old option to find "a word or phrase in the file" when I don't know the file name, type, or location, as we could do in XP and all the previous versions?

    Hi rayf1967,

    I was back tonight, saw your post and tried a search in my .xls and .xlsx files.  They results were not as I suspected.  But now is a result of the work.

    I had left the 'files allow on this drive to have content indexed in addition to file properties' unchecked.  This means that my old index was sought but changes or new files were not included.  When finally, I went to properties and permit of indexation for the drive, I could search for .xls and .xlsx text files inside the cells and inside the text boxes.  I edited my last post to include this observation.

    Window 7 file & directory search success
    Yahoo! I finally successfully a text file for a search string.  Thank you Lisa and Thahaseena I have studied the links and then did some testing over a period of 5 hours.  FYI, I get using the old DOS commands in .bat files.  Understand the new search engine was much more difficult than learning a RegEx in the 1980s.

    1 CAUTION: The box of the property known as the disk:
    "Allow files on this disc have content indexed in addition to file properties"
    This check box controls the update of the data base of the index.  It must be checked to build or update an index that may be searched.
    You can select the entire disc or only a subset of records.
    For discs:
    RT-click file / properties
    For the records:
    RT-click File / Properties / General tab / advanced

    I correctly searched for file names and files with this box unchecked, but the results do not include the files created or edited since the last time the index was built or in other words since the indexing has been authorized.

    2. research in the files has N O T by default after my installation of W7.  My system keeps all the files on a non-system drive and that the drive did not appear in the search index settings. Fault of not Ms.

    3. research in the files REQUIRES that the drive/directories are specified:
    Set the locations:
    Control Panel/Indexing Options/change /-down and check any disk or dirs you want indexed.
    Set the file types you want to allow search inside:
    Panel of control/indexing options / Advanced Options/File Types/Index Properties and the content of the file - set as you wish
    The file types are grouped and there are filter categories they fall.
    Defining the .txt (plain text filter) to "Properties Index and contents of the file" will allow many other types of files to be indexed.  The same is true for .doc (Microsoft Office filter); This one will allow indexing for all Office files.
    My QuadCore 3 GHz/4 GB indexed to 2500 points per second.  I have let it run overnight on my drive of files I have about 3 hours to complete.

    4. read on "Windows Search Advanced Query Syntax" it can help you a lot.

    5 W7 will show what looks like a mistake/complaint at research suggesting that you change your settings for indexing.  This will happen even if you have defined the so ignore/disable it.

    E x a m p l e s (all text left - has been typed/pasted in the search box):

    1 test cycle after: 07/20/10 - find all the file names with the string 'test' in them with update a value greater than 20/07/10.

    2 * test*.txt after: 07/30/10 - it found only files of type .txt 'test' in the name and modifed today (30/07/10).

    3. content *.txt: citabria after: 20/07/10 - searched the citabria word in files of text changed after 20/07/10!

    4. content *.docx: citabria after: 20/07/10 - searched the citabria word within Word files modified after 20/07/10!

    5 *.xlsx content: fardap - looking for the word inside all my files fardap .xlsx; found in cells and the text box.

  • How can I search for all files not containing a speific (_) character in a folder in Windows 7?

    How can I search in Windows 7 for all files not containing a speific (_) character in the file?

    I have two files with about 50 000 files in each folder.  There are many copies of the same file (only one folder contains photos, the other file has data files.  In the two files copies have the same name as the original file, for example IMG01, but identified for example IMG01_1, IMG01_2, etc..)

    I would like to find all files that DO NOT have a _ in them.  Can I do this?  How?

    Or I have to search for all files that have a _ by searching for * _ *?  Delete these files?

    I tried, but program trotted for 2 hours.  Just take a while?

    I thought that if I could search only files without the _ it would be more effective.

    Less than 20% of the files in each folder have not a _ in them.

    You should be able to use a? or * to replace a number of characters that are either unique or variable.  * book would find both book and facebook, or? ook would only book.

    Anyway, there's probably not a way to identify the files corrupted by a search.

  • Can I search for a word in the description of a bookmark?

    When I add a bookmark, I often add a description.
    Another reason why a lot of my favorites are the descriptions is that I am an old user of delicious and I imported these bookmarks in Firefox.
    So I would like to search for words that I wrote in the description, because the description is often more significant than the label, the name or the URL.
    But unfortunately Firefox does not resemble the description during the search in bookmarks.
    Nor find any extension.

    A backup of bookmarks HTML includes descriptions, so you could open such a backup in a tab and use the search bar to search the page.

    You can make Firefox create an automatic HTML (bookmarks.html) backup when you exit Firefox, if you set the pref to true on the subject browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML: config page.

    This backup is created by default in the profile as bookmarks.html folder whenever you close Firefox, but you can set the file name and the path through the pref browser.bookmarks.file on the topic: config page.

    The pref browser.bookmarks.file does not exist by default and you must create a new pref to string with the name browser.bookmarks.file and set the value to the full path of the file backup bookmarks including the name of the file.

  • How can I search for multiple files at the same time?

    In windows XP, after the advanced search mode, I used to be able to search multiple files simply by adding a comma between them like this...

    90025,90028,90094

    and which returns 3 image files I was looking for.

    How can I do this in Windows 7?

    Use OR instead of the comma...
     
    90025 OR 90028 90094

  • How can I search for files in a range of digital data

    Is there a way to specify a range of digital data in Windows 7 search for example File1 through deposer10 included

    Thank you

    So you're saying that file names could be, for example, hotdog4.txt for hotdog15.txt?  Well, you can look for in an orderly series, numerically and alphabetically, with two periods between the first and the last item, as in name:hotdog4.txt... hotdog15.txt

    Interestingly, Windows by default notice when the names correspond to a digital frame and so will sort hotdog4 to hotdog10 and so on, despite 4 being a number greater than 1 Prime figure 10.  I found a reference to this topic (but do not disable anything probably, just for the pleasure of reading):

  • How can I search for ALL photos on my hard drive, windows 8?

    I had windows xp and all I had to do was to go to research and select the photos and ALL photos on my computer would come. How can I do this with windows 8?

    If you open your hard drive in the file Explorer, you can use the wildcard character * to search for something as *.jpg to find all JPEG images.  Doing this would look like with that by typing in the search box:

    But you can find all the images, even if they are other types (.bmp or .png or .gif).  To do this, use the search toolbar that appears at the top.  Use the type menu and tell him you want to search for all images.  It is quite similar to XP, except you get more choice.

    I'm trying to search for terms on my website in Dreamweaver. When I use the button "Find and replace", it seems fair to search only the local files folder. Is it possible to have the focus of the research on the remote side of the Web site, instead of just the local side?

    Not with Dreamweaver.

    You can use the function search (Ctrl + F) in your web browser. But it will not replace the terms found.
