How do I search for special characters in the Explorer?

I have a collection of 1000 + files in an FTP folder. The problem is that about 50 of them contain & symbols in their file names. I need to find and delete all the files containing the symbol '& '. I thought it should be easy enough to search for the symbol '&' File Explorer. However, in doing so, nothing happens. It returns all files. Is it possible to search for special characters like '&' in the file Explorer?

Type filename: * & in the Explorer search field, it finds all files where appears the & character in the file or file name extension.

  • Windows Search - search for special characters

    Hello

    I didn't chance for this search for this kind of things via the interwebs/googlebing (probably due to the wick to 'Search'...

    In any case, I'm looking in the files for the XML files that contain specific characters, and when I'm looking her apparent there are many parts of these (INDEXED location) are ignored...

    for example:

    content: ~ "change."

    Does NOT return the file that starts:

    you are simply looking for a 'Change' returns this file but also returns files that have things in it that I don't want...

    Research Action = 'Change' returns nothing...

    The CustomerOrder search also returns nothing...

    What is the secret for including things like - mark, equal to, oblique, oblique, braces, brackets, single quote, double quote and so on...?

    Indexing is not necessary for the search function.  It is only necessary for the use of the libraries feature and to be able to search for files in the search/ORB box start and also to allow to change the options to search for specific file types.  In any case, I did a test earlier - apparently Windows 7 search search files for all the texts present xml content.  I found this link which describes the hoops to jump through.  We must be able to search xml files in plain text to the search, not the default filter special MS to xml files.

    It helps if you post a copy and paste of effective enforcement of the full code, including the results.  You posted an index of context with the query with catsearch, which requires a ctxcat index.  You must be a context clue that you did not post and did not add your lexer to.  The following table shows it returns all the lines of 3 as planned using either a with catsearch ctxcat index or a context index with contains, as long that you include the lexer in your create index.  You must also be sure that the index is created, or synchronized after inserting or updating data.

  • How can I search for and work in the card module without losing my selection

    I'm going through my old photographs which predate the geolocation and adding my best guess as to their sites via the card module, but I'm frustrated.

    My biggest fear is selections.  In the library module, I look at and find a set of photographs that were taken at the same place and I select them.  I then go to the card module and move found, sometimes look, the place where the photographs were taken.  Now I'll return to drop the selection in the map and... OH NO.... There is no selection.  Double angst is I click back in the library and I scrolled to the beginning of my group of photographs.

    Deselect photos is the biggest mistake of the UI that Lightroom is making in this sequence.  I wonder if there is something I can do to avoid it being may have a second method of a quick temporary group of photographs.

    The other related question I have, is if someone has a suggestion of how to mark these photos as the type of GPS data.  for example, it could come from the camera, it could come through a trace log, or maybe it's just my best guess.  Maybe it is already possible to determine.

    When you find the photos you want to taken in one place, select them, then put them in a quick Collection (press B)

    Select the quick Collection, then go to the card with the film Module running. You will then be able to work ONLY with this series of photos that are taken in the same place

  • How can I search for hexadecimal number of 32-bit in .csv file

    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.

  • How can I search for all photos that have names composed of four numbers?

    OT: Help search.

    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

    I don't know how to search only images that carry the 4 numbers, but I know how to find a file that is exactly 4 letters long and ends with ".jpg".

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

    "file name:"? "jpg"

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

  • I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  I went to special characters from the Edit menu and choose some emoji as Favorites, but I can't understand how to insert in the document.  How can I insert special characters into a document?

    How can I insert emoji or other special characters in a document using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?  I went to special characters from the Edit menu and may not understand how to insert the special character in the document.

    He's not that kind of editor. You can use the characters in a font. If you can select a font with the emoji, which fits into the case, and then enter the characters, it can work.

    This suggests that you try to do TOO MUCH with a PDF file. It is a common thing, but the message should be: everything simply because you can edit a PDF file, does not mean that it is the most effective way for you to do your job.
