Does anyone know why the search on this newsgroup does
not bring up any results if I type in a name in the "From
Line" ?

Until you want to do something must news readers do natively <g>

When I do a search using "Search Companion", the search
will not find Folders. Does fine finding Files, but no
folders. Any ideas?

[Jimmy]

I have two files in a tmp directorie. each file have some data in
them. Some data are the same. I want to search in the files (with file
handles), and display the data on screen. But if they have the same
data in both files, display the data once. Here's my code but doesn't
work. Not all the data is display:

while( <FILEHANDLE> or <FILEHANDLETWO>)
{
$mesAlertes = <FILEHANDLE>;
$mesAlertesDeux = <FILEHANDLETWO>;
$final = ($mesAlertes, $mesAlertesDeux); #take data in both
#but display once if the
data
#is the two files...

print $final;
}

What's wrong???

This reads a line from each file and discards them.

These read one more line from each file.

> $final = ($mesAlertes, $mesAlertesDeux); #take data in both

This sets $final to $mesAlerts and discards $mesAlertsDeux. What
do you want to achieve?

Well, you only work on every other line of each file, that's why you
don't see all the data.

As for discarding data that has already been displayed, your code
doesn't even make an attempt.

In a crude approach, I'd deal with each file on its own. First go
through one file and print it. Also keep the lines you printed in
a hash.

Then print the second file, but skip lines that are in the hash.

I am trying to search a string for a "[]". I want to count the amount
of "[]" in the string.

Any IDeas....

perldoc -q count

gives you:

How can I count the number of occurrences of a substring within a string?

There are a number of ways, with varying efficiency. If you want
a count of a certain single character (X) within a string, you
can use the "tr///" function like so:

$string = "ThisXlineXhasXsomeXx'sXinXit";
$count = ($string =~ tr/X//);
print "There are $count X characters in the string";

This is fine if you are just looking for a single character.
However, if you are trying to count multiple character
substrings within a larger string, "tr///" won't work. What you
can do is wrap a while() loop around a global pattern match. For
example, let's count negative integers:

$string = "-9 55 48 -2 23 -76 4 14 -44";
while ($string =~ /-\d+/g) { $count++ }
print "There are $count negative numbers in the string";


You want the second example, but you want to use /\[\]/g as your pattern
match.

Hi Mark.

There's no need for the loop. All you have to do is execute the pattern
match in list context and take the scalar value of that list:

my $string = "-9 55 48 -2 23 -76 4 14 -44";
my $count = () = $string =~ /-\d+/g;
print "There are $count negative numbers in the string";

**OUTPUT

There are 4 negative numbers in the string

HTH,

$string = "a4r[]qy78[]x]y[114t";
$count = $string =~ s/\[]/\[]/g;
print "$count\n" # $count will equal 2

Notice that this is not, (I repeat, not) the same as variable en passant
capture

($count = $string) =~ s/\[]\[]/g;

Moral of the story: parentheses are important. Mix these two modes at
your own peril (and I learned the hard way!).

Are the brackets nested, or are they discrete. This makes a big
difference in how you go about this. If they are not nested, I would
recommend Rob's solution above.

re my first post on this, here is a better (well, Lazier) way:

$string = "a4r[]qy78[]x]y[114[[[[[[|]]]]]]t";
$count = $string =~ s/(\[])/$1/g;
print "$count\n";

# $count is the number of times the desired expression (DU) appears in
the search string
# $string is the string to be searched
# the regex substitutes the DU for itself. Utterly useless, but a
side-effect is that the number of substitutions performed is stored in
$count.
# the $1 variable is a placeholder, it saves you the effort of typing
the DU twice and possibly making a mistake

can some one hel;p with this query advanced

I have coding now
SELECT Call.CallID, Call.IntakeDate, Support.SupportName,
Call.FunORCorr_change, Call.SystemID, Call.ShortDescription
FROM Call INNER JOIN Support ON Call.IntakeBy = Support.SupportID
___
where call.callid= 'varcall' or (call.systemid = 'varsystem' and
call.funorcorr_change = 'varfun') order by call.intakedate desc
___

if you can see the varcall is working fine (is based on searching for 1
particular record
the vasystem (if i do only varsystem it's working but together with varfun
not)

I hope you can help me with this I want to have a multiple search
functionality with listbox and checkbox
and cross searching but not working properly

I'm doing something wrong?
please advise

I wouldlike to get an extension for implementing search

[Felix1]

What kind of search? into database or into the site pages? and which server
language? If you intend to search into pages and use PHP_MySQL server model
here is one [url]http://www.felixone.it/extensions/mxssen.asp[/url] Felix

[emmim44]

Simple search...
Can any one give me how to start a basic search in cf.? The directory I want to search through is on another server..

Any help will be greatly appreciated..

[wmanu]

Hi all,

I have created a collection for searching my website. I?m able to list the
search output on to the results page. But when I display the ?summary? field of
the search output, it displays the variables as ?#VarName#?, not the value. And
the SQL queries as ?SELECT * FROM TABLE? etc not the results. How do I overcome
this situation, I don?t want to display the ColdFusion variables or queries but
I wish to display the same pages with the values.

Hope this make sense. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers / Manu.

[jdeline]

Do you have #VarName# enclosed in <CFOUTPUT> tags?

[torm]

i read example but i dont understand PLEASE anyone explain please
<cfif C1String is not "">
<cfif SrchOption is "ANY">
and Upper(#C1Field#) LIKE '%#Ucase(C1String)#%'
<cfelse>
and Upper(#C1Field#) LIKE '#Ucase(C1String)#%'
</cfif>

please explain the diff between '%#Ucase(C1String)#%' and
#Ucase(C1String)#%'

many thanks

[OldCFer]

If you were looking for the letter 'X'
'%#Ucase(C1String)#%' would find 'TEXAS' and 'XRAY'
'#Ucase(C1String)#%' would only find 'XRAY'

The % are wildcard characters. In the front they mean "anything before is OK"
and
trailing they mean "anything after is OK". If they are not there only an exact
match
would be returned.
