How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

  • How to use two different versions of the stub of Web Services SDK files in a single project (5.5 and 6.0)

    Hello

    I have a project that uses the vSphere 5.5 management SDK (I built the stub files according to the documentation) and have these in my c# Solution. Everything works beautifully. My class files that interact with vSphere all have a use statement as follows:

    using Vim25Api;

    All fine so far.

    Now, I want to be able to provide support for a user to connect to vSphere 5.5 and 6.0 vSphere environments. I built the stub files for vSphere Management 6.0 SDK and those in my solution presented in a separate project. Each project is based on a different class library and I have each set of files for each version of vSphere stub in different NuGet packages. However, when I select to use a vSphere 5.5 connection, it seems that internally the 6.0 files stub are used, or vice versa.

    I tried to separate things out by giving the Vim25Service.dll and Vim25Service.XmlSerializers.dll files for each version of alias names (alias by default for all assemblies is "global", but I changed it to vSphere5 and vSphere6 for each version. Then at the top of each class file before all with what I'm doing:

    extern alias vSphere5;

    or

    extern alias vSphere6

    (According to what project I'm in). Then, use the using statement for each class file that interacts with vSphere using vSphere5::Vim25Api; or using vSphere6::Vim25Api; to use the files to correct/stub namespace for each version I support.

    However this still doesn't seem to work, and things seem to be getting confused upwards somehow. I take a guess that internal files make calls and somehow have crossed.

    Is it possible to use two stub version of vSphere together different files in the same project? How should I handle my script? I thought of just upgrading to use the version of vSphere 6 (I can always connect to vCenter 5.5 using these, but some of the properties on the object have changed, (for example some dynamic properties on AlarmObjects and other items have been removed and code breaks if I delete the references to the stub vSphere 5.5 files.) So, I want to keep two different versions and use each of them separately in the same solution, so I support vSphere 5.5 and vSphere 6.

    Solved - this using wsdl.exe and just by specifying a different namespace to use in the proxy class that is generated by using the /n switch.

    for example using PowerShell to build automatically, the value $VimApi and do:

    WSDL.exe/n:$ VimApi...

  • Cannot use Windows Search, Microsoft Windows Index Search stop working

  • Scan to searchable PDF and search using Windows Search

    I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and try to create PDF files which is using Windows Search, i.e. display the directory tree and type a search term in the search box.

    I tried to use the HPScan software to create a "Searchable PDF." type analysis  I also tried to create "editable text (OCR)" scan using both the HPScan software and directly from the printer.  I was able to select and copy text in all documents resulting (PDF and RTF) and I've seaerch for text in the document when the document is opened.  BUT what I need to be able to do is to find a document scanned on my computer looking into the content of the document itself (and not by the search for metadata or tags).

    I checked to make sure that Windows Search is to search with the CONTENTS of the statement (he finds all Word documents...).  Is there something special I need to do in the software of HP on the printer itself ther to get this working?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    (P.S.  I use Windows 7, 64-bit if it matters.)

    I'm afraid that what you are wanting to do is not possible. There is a limitation in how Windows interacts with the PDF file format. It cannot index files as it can for a Word document. You will need to scan the documents in PDF format, and then convert them to Word document, so you can search for the best.

  • Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

    Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

    All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

    The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

    • Configuration of the default folder options.
    • reconstruction of the index
    • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
    • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
    • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
    • I checked this registry key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
    • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

    It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

    All in one, type printers (print, copy, scan) usually have a very specific set of instructions during the installation.  If not followed exactly the probability is that the scanner will not work.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

    Hi GloriaZF,

    What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

    You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    I'm good with the software and I have used many Microsoft software since the 1980s. So I like Microsoft products, but since they have outsourced their tech support, you can't support quality even if you pay for it. I followed all the instructions in the Windows 8 will help about DRC setting screens, but I can't connect unless I'm on the same home network. Here are the details:

    I have a desktop PC with Windows 8 Pro and I have authorized the DRC. I tried two settings in system properties:

    1. Allow connections to this computer remotely.
    2. That allow the connection of computers running Office remotely with authentication NLA.

    I also turned on both private and Public Windows Firewall settings > allow an App or feature through Windows Firewall.

    I have installation then DRC to my laptop with Windows 8 (standard edition, not the Pro version). I have a DRC using the full name of the computer and other DRC using the static IP address for my ISP Desktop connection.

    I use the user account administrator Windows for connections of DRC of the laptop.

    I cannot get this to work on the Internet from a location outside my house with another ISP connection. The only way it works if I'm uncomfortable with the laptop using the same network home.

    I called Dell tech support and it is always useless and just a more aggravating waste of an hour to talk to their support of technique outsourced in India (who barely even understand English) and then they hang up the phone as it was supposed to be disconnected. I also called Microsoft support and lost more than an hour to speak to their outsourced tech support in the Philippines (and as support of the India, they hang up or 'disconnect' when they cannot answer your question and they go account learn you more about Windows while they do). U.S. tech companies use AMERICANS more for their technical support so their customers can get people who actually care about doing a good job and can actually understand English?

    So if someone who knows using Windows 8 for DRC on the Internet has some tips, then it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    P.S. If anyone is offended by my comments about the ugly, incompetent, stupid providing "technical support" in India or the Philippines - Nevermind! You go ahead and waste hours of your time talking to some Morón in these countries, who barely understands English and then 'disconnects' the call when they know that you realize that they are clueless and have all the answers.

    Take a look at no - IP.com or dyndns.com, and then use your host.domain:3389 of no.-ip/dynDNS or run RelaVNc SErver that is running on port 5900 by default.  Server options allow you to change the port as well if necessary.
