I'm doing a project in Java which creates a user manual (html files that are linked together like Windows "Help and support centre") of software. Now once a user manual is created I have only html files remaining. Now I want to search html file that contains specified keyword(Search Engine).How can I do this without Java code??
grep, find, python script, or open any file with a text editor and try edit->search
(on windows use windows search in file)
If all of your other code is written in java, then it'll be sensible (without knowing your usecase) to use java for searching as well. You might of course use some commandline programs as grep or find - or built in search functionality in a webbrowser, but if the search should be part of a java application anyway, why not go for java and e.g. Lucene?
If this 'help' is going to be online than you can embed google search in it (limiting the search results to specified site:). Alternatively if you're hosting the pages yourself you can use htdig for indexing the pages.
However if it's going to offilne you'll be better of by generating a static index page with links to topics. In order to create a more help-system-alike user experience you can hide the contents of the index in the invisible html DIV tags and add a JavaScript that takes searched phrase as an input and that unhides the matched words with their links.
Maybe I'm missing something, but have you looked at javahelp? It has indexing and searching built in, and can be used online or offline.

I have a DNN (9.3.x) website with CKEditor, 2sxc etc installed.
Now old URLs need to be changed into new URLs because the domain name changed. Does anyone know a tool for searching & replacing URLs in a database of DNN?
I tried "DNN Search and Replace Tool" by Evotiva, but it goes only through native DNN database-tables, leaving 2sxc and other plugin /modules tables untouched.
Besides that, there are data in JSON-format in database-tables of 2sxc, also containing old URLs.
I'm pretty sure that the Evotiva tool can be configured to search and replace in ANY table in the DNN database.
"Easy configuration of the search targets (table/column pairs. Just point and click to add/remove items. The 'Available Targets' can be sorted, filtered, and by default all 'textual' columns of 250 characters or more are included as possible targets."
It's still a text search.
As a comment, you should be trying to use relative URLs and let DNN handle the domain name part..
I believe the Engage F3 module will search Text/HTML modules for replacement strings, but it's open-source, so you could potentially extend it to inspect additional tables.
I'm using Doxygen to create documentation to my project.
This tool is wonderful except an issue I have with the searching function.
When I try to use the search box he find files and function that starting with the letters I wrote.
I will explain..
I have 3 files in my project:
BaseTemplate.java
RegularTemplate.java
CustomTemplate.java
when I write 'Template' in the search box he didn't find anything. This because he search items(function, files, etc.) only by prefix.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks
Any web project consists of lots of partials that are included into the main file. Very often IDE (PhpStorm for my case) doesn’t know where the including partial resides. The thing is sometimes we use absolute path (e.g. in AngularJS to specify where views’ or directive’s templates reside) and relative path in preprocessors’ sources (jade, stylus, coffee, etc.). And all these files can be stored somewhere in the folder structure.
Therefore very often you can’t to open the including file right from the main file using Ctrl+B.
I think there is a way to tell IDE where this file actually resides. Does anybody know how to cope with it?
If there is no way, I suppose we should ask the developer to solve it somehow.
Depending on the particular framework in which you're developing, a PhpStorm plugin might exist to make CTRL+B navigation possible. For instance, using the Symfony plugin (installed via Settings > Plugins), CTRL+B navigation into a partial template becomes possible in code like this:
return $this->render('hello/world/index.html.twig');
If a plugin is not available, try the following steps. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing! It's also extremely quick once you get the hang of it.
With your cursor inside the string containing the path and filename, use the 'Extend Selection' keyboard shortcut until the entire string is highlighted (excluding any wrapping single/double quotes). If you don't currently have the 'Extend Selection' action mapped, you can do so via Settings > Keymap.
Immediately use the 'Navigate to File' shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+N) to search for all files matching the path/filename contained in the string you previously highlighted.
A dropdown box will appear containing all matching files. Find the proper one and open it using ENTER.
Notepad++ is my go to editor for most things. I would like to develop a new command(keyboard shortcut) for doing something unique. Anybody has any pointers regarding how I can do this?
I would like to create a command which arranges selected text in certain order based on the characters found. I would also like create a keyboard shortcut for running the same command.
You have several options:
develop a macro - examine Macros dropdown menu in Notepad++
use AutoHotKey which can send keystrokes/mouseclicks, run apps/DLL's, work with clipboard, read any system settings, take values from input boxes and many more. Please see here for its sample usage with Notepad++
use JN plugin for Notepad++ and script your functionality in JavaScript - example. Similarly, there is a Python scripting plugin, too.
write your own N++ plugin. You get the best control, but without experience this is the most difficult option.
I need to add some code to the of several html contained in a folder on my desktop. How can i do that?
I am using a prototyping tool (Axure) on Mac and I want to add some html meta tags to the generated pages. These pages can be overwritten every time I generate the prototype. What I need is a sort of script that I can launch after re-generating the prototype, to reinsert the code. There is something for windows but it doesn't work on Mac: http://joshuamorse.com/2009/01/14/axure-protonotes-an-alternative-to-protoshare/
thanks
This is a very simple problem to solve using a shell script.
If you are not familiar with scripting, then check out the Automator program built-in to OS X.
This provides a "visual" way of building automation workflows.
This is the basic steps that your workflow will need to perform.
Find the files that need updating.
For each file
Open the file using TextEdit
Tell TextEdit to Find the Head element and replace with the new Head Element that includes the script
Save the file.
Repeat
How about a simple find/replace in multiple files using something like this:
http://search-and-replace.en.softonic.com/mac
If you are able to create some sort of 'dummy' tag in Axure, you could use that as the 'find' that you could replace with your meta tags.
That seems to be a simple way to do what you want.
