Hello together,

 

I want to find a special character for example " \ " (backslash)  in a module.

It would be way easier to answer if you posed a real question. What exactly is it that you cannot do? Find a module, open a module, open a baseline, navigate through the objects, get a list of existing string / text attributes, find a given string in another string, fill a skip list, print a result? Where is your problem?

I have a module and in this module may occur no special characters. I want to create a code who find the special characters.

That was my question.

That was my question.

On the one hand I still don't see a question mark - so, there's no question.

I understand your general problem, but there is no one-liner, no single DXL command that will do exactly what you want, so you will have to make up your mind on how to solve the problem. Whatever approach you choose, there will be several things to do - the list from my previous Mail shows some of the possible sub-topics.

Surely you do not expect someone to write the complete program for you, so you most probably have a specific question - which relates to the approach that you chose on how to solve this problem.

My list is aimed at one direction on how to solve the problem. but there are of course other approaches -- for example you could create a Word Export from your Module and use a Word macro to find the \ characters, or a CSV export and use an OS command to search. Or you might want to mimic the "Search" functionality provided by the DOORS client - perhaps someone already has the complete code to do this, I don't.

When using one of these approaches, there might be some specific questions for a specific problem. These will be much easier for us to answer...

Best Regards,
Mike

I like Wolfgang's response.  Much better than what I was thinking.

I also wonder what the heck Hello together means.  I guess I have lost my knowledge of english.

Getting back to the post.  In the upper part of the screen, you can do a search in this forum.  If you search for "special characters", there are quite a few posts about finding and using special characters.  Which ones need escaped, how to use them in regular expressions, etc.  Try doing a little research yourself before you post an obscure comment.  Otherwise, you may find that NOBODY will respond to you.

Hope this helps,

Greg
