What is the search syntax of files in Windows 7 (wildcards, logical signs...)? __

Hello

I'm looking for it everywhere, but I can't.
When in Windows search and looking for a file, you can type in *.txt to find a ".txt" file
But the filename syntax to search for seems to be more complex that it first consults.
For example, the quotation mark ("") character and the equal sign (=) seem to have their own meaning.
And I think that I heard that it was possible to use 'not' and 'and' signs.
Please, where can I find the full syntax of the search paterns?

Thank you very much

    What is the correct syntax to reference a page point (P23_ID, for example) in a process of PL/SQL page after submit?

    TexasApexDeveloper wrote:

    Variable binding is preferred: P23_ID you can also use & P23_ID. (variable substitution notation).

    Bind variable and static text substitution references are not interchangeable. For example, static text substitution references cannot be used in allocation targets:

    :P23_ID  := 'foo';  -- valid
    &P23_ID. := 'bar'; -- syntax error (or something weird or sinister due to SQL injection)
    

    Substituting static text references should be avoided in SQL and PL/SQL code because of the risk of behavior topic SQL injection and / odd error because of values containing quotes, etc.

  • What is the purpose of this file?

    Last week, I had a nasty virus and had to reinstall WIN XP.  I always save files to download for my programs and PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.exe had saved and reinstall PSE 8 without any problem.  I also found a PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.7z file of course I save it for some reason any downloading of PSE 8.  My question is: "what is the purpose of this file?  Am I supposed to install it? HOW?

    Thanks in advance

    Files whose extension is '7z' are of type 7-zip compressed files.  (Similar to zip files).  You no longer need this file because it contains the 'PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.exe' file (compressed, of course).

    How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

    You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

    Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

    Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

    IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

    As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

    Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView

    File > Batch Conversion/Rename command.  If necessary, see IrfanView help on this topic.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!
