The search for exact strings (and the right formula)

I am using FIND instruction to search multiple strings in a larger formula. The original formula that I do stand out is the following:

= IF (ISNUMBER (FIND ('INC', A1)),' ', 'Y')

Of course, this gives a Y if he finds some text in "". "" However, I have several channels for which I would check, and they need to be exact. That is to say when I search Inc. and Inc., I don't want Inc. to be counted. So, I tried the following formulas.

= IF (ISNUMBER (FIND (OR("INC",inc"), A1)),' ', 'Y')

= IF (SUM (COUNTIF (A1, "* INC. *","{* Inc. *}")),' ',' Y')

The second works better, but it also counts Inc. as a football game. Any suggestions?

This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

    Oh, what you want is the content property.

    [Update: apparently special search symbols such as ~ = do not work with the content when property indexed research places, but work during the search in unindexed locations.]

    I should mention that Windows 7 Search is not case sensitive, so it makes no difference to try to find upper or lower case letters.  In addition, Windows 7 Search is not able to search the contents of files that have no file extension.  There is also a weird question having to watch in Indexing Options to determine which file extensions are defined for content, research, where you have a type of unusual file that is not defined for the content of the search.

    Found this.

    Click on the Start button and select settings.

    Then select devices.

    Click on the mouse and touch pad and scroll down and select 'extra mouse Options '.

    This will open a box that should have the information and the name of the type of touchpad has your computer.

    Click on settings and then in the new box that opens, you should see a tab that says 'Tapping '.

    Open this tab and you should see 'Three finger Tap' and 'four finger Tap.

    Hello

    When you search for a file or folder in Windows Explorer, the path to the location of each result must be shown just below found the folder or file. Here is a screenshot.

    If you have points of view icon selected, click on the change your view drop-down menu in the top-right of the window, and then select display list, details, tiles or content (the screenshot has selected content).

    Research is a stand-alone that creates a virtual folder that displays the results. There is no part of the folder hierarchy, unless you save the search.

    If you click one of the results and select the location of the open folder, it will take you to the folder where the item.

    To navigate from in any particular file:

    To go to the TOP, press Alt + up arrow.

    To display the path to your current location, click on an empty spot in the address bar.

    Click the arrow to the right of any folder in the address bar and the Parent folder appears in bold text.

    I hope this helps.

  • BY SPECIFYING THE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL CHARACTERS WHEN SEARCHING FOR A STRING

    Hey everybody,

    built-in indexOf() finds a character "." in the string "1.2.3." If value == 1.

    It looks nothing if the value == 0 or 2 or a number greater than 2.

    var txt:String = '1.2.3.';

    var: output string = String (this);


    If (txt.indexOf(".") == 1)

    {

    trace (output);     [object MainTimeline]

    }

    The must be a simple method to specify the number of characters "." When you search for the string "1.2.3.".

    For example, if there are 2 characters "." in the string "1.2.", then run it through a statement but if contains no 2 characters "." then do nothing.

    There is a built-in function called contains , but it is mainly used in XML.

    indexOf() resembles codes javascript unstable, one of these framework which unixers hatred.

    You don't have to use regular expressions to determine how many points is in the string. Use of split and read the length:

    var txt:String = '1.2.3.';

    trace (txt. Split("."). (length);

  • How to search for a string in the order reversed through REGEXP_INSTR

    Hi all

    I have the SQL query in which I want to get the first position of the occurrence of the end of the string

    for example:
    String:NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002
    Condition: the position of the character '-' the last. (Note: character can also be '-' or ' / ')
    output: 1002

    for above condition, I have a request next return


    SELECT SUBSTR('NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002',REGEXP_INSTR('NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002','[^-/]',1),LENGTH('NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002 ')) FROM dual;



    but I'm getting more results

    NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002
    means that the expression returns 0...

    pls help me solve this problem.

    You can change your query as follows

     SELECT SUBSTR('NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002'
       , REGEXP_INSTR('NBANK-ASD-00-1001-525-1002', '[^-/]*$', 1)

  • GroupDataModel how to search for an item and row

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with GroupDataModel.

    I create and fill out the template as below:

    
    m_model = new GroupDataModel(QStringList() << "displayName", this);
    ...
    QVariantMap entry;
    entry["contactId"] = QString::number(contact->getId());
    entry["displayName"] = contact->getDisplayName();
    entry["icon"] = contact->getSmallPhoto();
    
    m_model->insert(entry);
    

    After I cath some report like contactDeleted (int id) and want to remove the related item of the model:

    void ContactsViewModel::onContactDeleted(int id)
    {
      //QVariantList indexPath = m_model->lowerBound(QVariantList() << QString::number(id));
      //QVariantList indexPath = m_model->lowerBound(QVariantList() << id);
      //QVariantList indexPath = m_model->find(QVariantList() << QString::number(id));
      QVariantList indexPath = m_model->find(QVariantList() << id);
    
      if (!indexPath.isEmpty())
      {
        m_model->removeAt(indexPath);
      }
    }
    

    But model will always return row to the first article! I used and GroupDataModel::find and GroupDataModel::lowerBound, but result is still the same!

    Please help me, how can I find point correct?

    Hello

    My understanding of the documentation, it is possible to search only the fields that are in sortingKeys.

    I think that GroupDataModel is the construction of indexes on these areas.

    I did some tests:

    If displayName is present in sort keys:

        GroupDataModel *model = new GroupDataModel(QStringList() << "displayName", this);
    
        QVariantMap entry;
        entry["contactId"] = "100";
        entry["displayName"] = "Alex";
        entry["icon"] = "icon1.png";
        model->insert(entry);
    
        entry["contactId"] = "200";
        entry["displayName"] = "Andrew";
        entry["icon"] = "icon2.png";
        model->insert(entry);
    

    then by displayName will work correctly:

    QVariantList indexPath = model->find(QVariantList() << "Andrew");
    qDebug() << "indexPath" << indexPath << "\n";
    // this will print (QVariant(int, 0) ,  QVariant(int, 1) ) which is
    // section 0, item 1
    

    But research by contactId won't work, because it is not present in sortingKeys.

    If you add contactId to sortingKeys:

    GroupDataModel *model = new GroupDataModel(QStringList() << "displayName" << "contactId", this);
    

    then by searching only by displayName will no longer work. Find() maps values to keys, it will only return entries with empty contactId. But lowerBound() can be used instead:

    QVariantList indexPath = model->lowerBound(QVariantList() << "Andrew");
    qDebug() << "indexPath" << indexPath << "\n";
    // this will return:
    // indexPath (QVariant(int, 0) ,  QVariant(int, 1) )
    

    Please note that the lowerBound is not a complete replacement for find. It returns a suggested for element insertion index. So if she is unable to find a match, it will return (0, 0) like suggested insertion point, but not a row empty.

    When you have multiple sort keys the code depending on type of work to find a name:

        GroupDataModel *model = new GroupDataModel(QStringList() << "displayName" << "contactId", this);
    
        QVariantMap matchMap;
        //matchMap["contactId"] = "200";
        matchMap["displayName"] = "Andrew";
        QVariantList indexPath = model->lowerBound(matchMap);
        qDebug() << "indexPath" << indexPath << "\n";
    

    But if the name is not found lowerBound will return (0, 0) - a proposed insertion point. Is not possible to differentiate the value of return "not found".

    But if you try to provide a contactId

        matchMap["contactId"] = "200";
        //matchMap["displayName"] = "Andrew";
    

    It will not work, because it searches in the order in which the sortingKeys have been reported.

    In this case, it will try to 'empty' QVariant DisplayName of match, find nothing and will be (0, 0) return as insertion point proposed without even trying to match contactId-s.

    The find() function is not appropriate as well because it performs the exact match on all fields and requires that all sortingKeys to be defined.

    I hope I have not confused you completely now!

    So, the conclusion seems to be:

    Find() cannot find an exact match and compared all the keys of the supplied with keys in sortingKeys. If values are omitted it is expected that they are NULL in the model.

    lowerBound() returns a suggested insertion or (0, 0) point, if nothing has been put in correspondence. He compares the values passed to it with the sort of keys from left to right (if the first sortingKey did not match it does not compare).

    If these methods are not well suited for finding a specific key value. A possible workaround is an iteration model entries manually and by comparing their values, but it's slow.

    I suggest to create your own datamodel by inheriting from the class DataModel. It is not very difficult, and you can implement any kind of search in there.

    Hello

    After you set the preferences you must call the changeText() method, as

    myDoc.changeText ();

    or

    myStory.changeText ();

    But it is a static solution.

    You can use a dynamic solution to define a good characterStyle and take advantage of the nestedGrepStyle style applied to this part of your design.

    For each character 'b' could be applied with your characterStyle automatically, no need to run a script.

      charStyles = app.selection[0].characters.everyItem().appliedNestedStyles,
      step = charStyles.length,

    The numeric value contains an underscore, so the last section ([\d_]+) uses a range that selects one or more numbers or underscores.

    Perhaps as important as the identification of what you want to find is to specify how you want to replace it. Regexes can capture groups that can be used in the field replace to simplify things.
