I am trying to search for a string across files in a Mac. Sierra v10.12.5. Using the finder, I search for files of type 'json', then using the '+' for advanced search features, I select 'contents' and my string in the textbox. Nothing is returned. If I change the file extension from .json to .txt, the files containing the string in the textbox are returned. So this seems isolated to files of type .json
Today a visit to the genius bar confirmed what I saw. However, the 'genius' told me that's all he could tell me about the subject. I took his response as code for "you found a bug, too bad" He said to search the web to find an unsupported solution. Unfortunately, I haven't found a workaround. Does anyone have an idea?
For a file to show up in Spotlight search results, there needs to be a Spotlight importer which can read that type of file and index it. macOS ships with importers for a number of common file formats (such as .txt and .pdf), but there is no default importer for .json files, since there isn't really any standard way of opening and viewing them.
If you wanted, though, you could write an importer.

I have both JSON file and JL file on my computer but when I open them in Notepad their structure looks like the same. What is the difference between them? where shall I use each one?
Actually, the time that I was asking this question I didn't know that "the file type is no guarantee of what is inside it". in other words I thought that for every file name there is a separate manifesto and if a files name is ".something", there is a unique manifesto for it. But now I know that I can create a file, write anything that I want into it and name it ".peyman" and yes there is nothing special with it!
What was that file? the file was JSON Lines file format.
Where did I find it? in the Scrapy except writing scrapy crawl name -o file.json I saw that somebody wrote scrapy crawl name -o file.jl. I tried that and the file was 99% like JSON file so I wondered and asked this question here.
So:
What is the difference between a .JSON file and .JL file? Now I know that the better question is "What is the difference between a .JSON file and .JL file in the Scrapy?"
The JSON Line is like JSON but without the "[" and "]" at the
beginning and the end. it is used in the Scrapy because of this
There's quite a few things that a jl file extension could be referring to. If I remember correctly, it originally had something to do with the window manager Sawfish.
Sawfish was developed in Lisp, and the jl file was a Lisp source file for Sawfish. However, I'm guessing (because you said that inside was JSON-like sauce) that's not what you're asking about.
In that case, I do recall a few projects on GitHub... JSON lambda and Julia.
Both of those may be the reason why you're seeing JSON in a jl file. Without more information on where you got that file, or what it was part of, though, we won't be able to help you much.
That said, file extensions rarely matter in terms of Linux. In Windows, they're far more important, but in Linux you could literally append anything to a file as an "extension" (ie. thisfile.whatever) and you could still open it up in an editor. The same is true for most editors in Windows.
Likely, the packager of that file decided on jl for their own reasons, rather than following convention of using .json.
I guess JL extension is used for many purposes, but JL is also one of the few extensions used for JSON-lines (also known as NDJSON or JSONL).
This format can contain multiple JSON values, one JSON value (with "compact" formatting) per line and is useful for e.g. streaming or logging.
It seems that the XYZ Studio has some problems with accepting files. The upload of .geojson and .csv files is recommended but it tells me i am trying to upload "unsupported file types". It still worked a few weeks ago but i cannot upload any .geojson and .csv files right now.
Kindly crosscheck the names in the header of your csv file. If the file does not have columns labelled Latitude and Longitude, the xyz studio may give you a message saying that you are trying to upload an unsupported file.
I ran into a similar issue. Turns out HERE Studio prefers comma (,) CSVs only. If modifying in excel and it gets saved as a caret (^) CSV, the uploader will only read the file as one wide column and pop out errors.
If HERE is listening, some documentation on properly formatted file types, formats, and limitations along with sample code for the .CSVs, json, shape, and GEOjson files would be immensely helpful to users of Studio as there is little in the way on the API/platform documentation.
I'm trying to use the MediaWiki filepath magic word` so that I can create some template links that pass a specific MediaWiki file. Unfortunately with certain file types, filepath just returns nothing.
The file I'm trying to get the path for that's failing is a text file in this case. I have confirmed that I am using the correct filename as I can create a regular file link using [[File:Name.txt]], and {{filepath:Image.png}} works properly.
Example of what I'm trying to accomplish:
[http://server/processfile.php?path={{filepath:<filename>}} Process A File]
Is this a known issue? Is there an easy way that I can debug what's happening here?
After digging around a bunch more I was able to resolve the issue. It turns out that even though the MediaWiki would accept the file, it was being assigned a random mime type because it was a .yaml file.
After updating mime.types and mime.info in MediaWiki and adding the mime type (text/yaml) to my IIS configuration, I was able to get the downloads working and the file links showing up.
Full disclosure: I may have been using an incorrectly cased file name even though I said that I was using the correct file name. :P
When I look at the clipboard all I am getting is a IRandomAccessStream under the name "Terminal Services Private Data". This is what happens when you copy files from the desktop but you're running your app in the simulator. I would like to try to read this data, does anyone know where I can find documentation to find out what's in the stream? It is the same format and value type if you copy multiple files or one.
You could write a little app to dump that out as a string, or hex values. I bet if you got a good look at it, the format would be apparent.
Hi does anyone know why MS Office such as doc, docx and xls can no longer be viewed when retrieved from a mysql db when stored as Blob?
The doc and docx used to download and open without any problem, but now it no longer recognises the file format.
I'd like to ditto your problem. Images and plain text files upload/download from mysql blob field. Doc and docx files seemed to be corrupted. I've read somewhere of a rumor of mysql truncating the last 4 bits but I can't verify that.
I have used xvi32 (a hex editor) to compare local originals of files with versions dowloaded from BLOB/LONGBLOB fields. It seems that extra bytes, which I think represent a CRLF are appended, as far as I can work out by Windows when the file is written. This doesn't seem to be a problem for some graphic formats which are to some extent fault-tolerant, but the office XML format files are corrupted by this extra data.
I have tried using ob_clean() and ob_flush() [that is, in php] before printing/echoing the file contents, but still corrupted as far as Office is concerned.
I know this is an old thread but I would appreciate any solutions anyone might have found since it was last updated.
Did you try with a short txt file instead of .doc and see if the contents are different than what you expected?
