I've run into an interesting find/replace question and I can do it with two
searches, but I believe it can be done in one. I should know this, but for
the life of me, I can't get it right. Hoping for a bit of help. 

 

Problem: Reader has a Word document with several three-digit numbers
beginning with 3. He wants to change the 3 to 5, leaving the other two
digits as is. 

 

Thanks!

Yes, that's close, but it doesn't stop at only 3-digit numbers. It will
change the 3 to 5 for any number that begins with 5. But it's a good
solution if there's only 3-digit numbers.

Hi Susan

Oh, that you didn't mention.

Then, I guess, you are left with a VBA solution.

I've got it close, but I can't limit it to 3-digit numbers. 

Find: (<3)(?)(?)
Replace: 5\2\3

It works with 302, 398, 357, and so on, but it also changes 3598.

Does the ? serve as a wildcard? Would replace 3?? with 5?? work?

No, that replaces 3xx with 5?? -- interprets ? as a literal character, not a
wildcard. 

I saw a lot of examples online using ? but it never worked for me.

Yeah, really worked well in DOS for file searches.  But that was in the
previous century, wasn't it?

OK- brute force alternative - assuming the doc is not a thousand pages and
there are a relatively small number of these replacements - search for 3
with a preceding space - (space)3 - and replace with (space)5, but not
global, so you stop at each occurrence of a string that has a preceding
space and starts with three. Then click Replace or Find Next.  Then if it
stops at a string of four digits - 3123 - you could bypass the replace. How
long would that take?

if?all retailers in my town were to band together to collectively track 
where i shop hereand what i buy, would i be upset? no, 'cuz i think of 
shopping as a public activity where i've zero expectation of privacy. if 
there's an argument against that, what is it?

if on the other hand a retailer installs a trojan on a device of mine 
(as the chinese maker of my new tablet did), i'm upset 'cuz i've an 
expectation that i get to choose what i publish, so i ?complain publicly 
and ask the retailer to stop selling that shite, and naturally i remove 
the trojan.

more interestingmebbe for people like readers here. closed-source 
closed-architecturesystemslike those made by apple impose strict 
top-down corporate control of what software its customers can use. and 
how they can use it, andthereforehave the potential to prevent snooping 
if they choose to do so. on the other hand, open source 
open-architecture systems like android, and open architecture systems 
like windows, make such top-downcorporate control impossible.? I prefer 
this arrangement because i get to make my own choices. if there's an 
argument that my preference is unsound, what is it?

Hi everyone! 

 

My Seagate external drive has developed a short in the wiring and it's
difficult to get the files, which is okay - there's little there that's
important for all time - mostly work files that I needed to keep for a bit.
I bought a new one, My Passport, and within a few days it was toast. I
received a prompt to format the drive. A little research shows this happens
with this brand. So, I'm going to return it, but now I'm wondering what I
can trust. Would anyone like to recommend a brand?

Hi Susan

I've never seen such issues with external drives - two of those I have are Seagate.
That said, most of the external drives, we use, are from Verbatim. Neither have any of these failed.

Do you need it to be portable?  If not, I might suggest you look into
a drive dock and an internal hard drive that you cloud plug into that
docking station.  You can get dual disk docking stations that connect
to your PC via USB for under $40.  Then you can put in any standard
ATA hard drive - spinning or SSD and you can copy from one drive to
another. I've used these to copy files off otherwise crashed systems
onto new computers as well.

Here is one on Amazon

You would also need to buy a hard drive separately of course.

Hi Susan,

I use two 2 tb hard drives for backup, and swap them out every week.  Using 3 partitions on each HD this gives me 6 separate weeks of backup files.

A few weeks ago I began having trouble with both cases that the hard drives were in ? these were causing errors when the backup files were being created.  This was hard to figure out but trying every combination the cases were the problem.  I suspect some software had an update and that triggered the problem with both cases at once.

I didn?t want to buy two new cases for over $100.  I found a simple cable which just plugs into a bare HD or an SSD, plugs into my PC via USB, and has a power adapter.  The cable is: ?Neeyer SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 3.5/2.5 Inch HDD/SSD?.  This cost only $18 on Amazon. There are other similar cables as well.

So ? I didn?t have to buy two new cases, I?m only using bare drives, and all works great! Having fewer of hardware pieces in my backup process should end up being more reliable.

Good Luck!
Dan

I used it to copy things from the spinning hard drive to SSD when I
first switched over a number of years ago.  Used it for backups (not
often enough - ha ha).  Copying things from old systems to new,
rescuing data from otherwise crashed computers that wouldn't boot.
They really are a valuable tool.  And regular "internal" hard drives
are really quite cheap and you can rotate and have multiple generation
backups etc.

Just get one of these and use any SATA drive:

If you buy an SSD don't buy the cheapest ones - they're cheap for a reason. And since you appear to have the same luck as I do, they'll go bad when you least can afford it to happen.

Samsung SSD are good but expensive. Silcon Power are good and a little less expensive. Try this:

Hi everyone! 

 

My Seagate external drive has developed a short in the wiring and it's difficult to get the files, which is okay - there's little there that's important for all time - mostly work files that I needed to keep for a bit.
I bought a new one, My Passport, and within a few days it was toast. I received a prompt to format the drive. A little research shows this happens with this brand. So, I'm going to return it, but now I'm wondering what I can trust. Would anyone like to recommend a brand?

Subject: [dba-Tech] Outlook and profile picture
Message-ID: <019e01d73609$ed1b64c0$c7522e40$@gmail.com>

Hi everyone - I ran into an interesting problem with Outlook and the
Microsoft account profile picture feature. Although I have a profile picture
through my account and it shows in Outlook, it doesn't display on the
recipient's side - even testing it on my second account didn't work. 

 

I understand that there can be non-Microsoft recipient issues that simply
can't be resolved, but it should show when I send it to my other account, at
least I thought. 

 

A little research later and it seems to be a domain issue. I use gmail and I
do have a profile picture - a different picture - there as well. 

 

So, Outlook won't show the picture to the recipient when using gmail. Nor
can I get Outlook to display the gmail profile picture. 

 

Lots and lots of stuff out there but haven't found anything that tells me
how to fix this. I did read something very old about having to copy the
profile picture to google drive and jumping through several hoops - I didn't
test that and that's just too much work to put in if it fails. 

 

Anyone know anything about this? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Susan,
If you're referring to the MS 365 account pic then it won't show to anyone outside of your domain. Attempts to make it so will just end up in endless frustration.

However, using a small pic in your signature does work for many email clients.

Well, I considered that, but because I was sending it to myself... 

A reader didn't want to use the signature feature, so I was trying to work that out, but good to know it doesn't work with MS 365 -- I wonder why. 

Thank you! You've saved me a lot of time, as usual! ?

Happy to save someone spinning their wheels!

MS is making changes every day (too many) to get their cloud presence compatible with other platforms. The biggest annoyance to me is that those don't even work across different MS tenants (accounts). I manage a few dozen tenants and it would be really helpful. (And yes, technically, you can do things with tenants that allow for more open comms which might make these work, but these are not cooperating tenants they are just my eclectic bunch of clients.)

Curious: do you see your google pic come through in your MS email?

When I send from a gmail account to a live.com account I see the live.com account's profile pic from about 10 years ago, same goes for the live.com - it shows my google profile pic from ages ago. (Conclusion: apparently Google and MS cooperated at some point, awhile, a little bit, lol. They stopped that silly cooperation and none of the profiles pics update anymore.)

Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Outlook and profile picture

Well, I considered that, but because I was sending it to myself... 

A reader didn't want to use the signature feature, so I was trying to work that out, but good to know it doesn't work with MS 365 -- I wonder why. 

Thank you! You've saved me a lot of time, as usual! ?

Hi Susan,
If you're referring to the MS 365 account pic then it won't show to anyone outside of your domain. Attempts to make it so will just end up in endless frustration.

However, using a small pic in your signature does work for many email clients.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Outlook and profile picture

Hi everyone - I ran into an interesting problem with Outlook and the Microsoft account profile picture feature. Although I have a profile picture through my account and it shows in Outlook, it doesn't display on the recipient's side - even testing it on my second account didn't work. 

 

I understand that there can be non-Microsoft recipient issues that simply can't be resolved, but it should show when I send it to my other account, at least I thought. 

 

A little research later and it seems to be a domain issue. I use gmail and I do have a profile picture - a different picture - there as well. 

 

So, Outlook won't show the picture to the recipient when using gmail. Nor can I get Outlook to display the gmail profile picture. 

 

Lots and lots of stuff out there but haven't found anything that tells me how to fix this. I did read something very old about having to copy the profile picture to google drive and jumping through several hoops - I didn't test that and that's just too much work to put in if it fails. 

 

Anyone know anything about this? 

Thanks in advance!

Susan H.

Message-ID: <000201d73858$f1a4b5e0$d4ee21a0$@gmail.com>

The Additional Actions (sort of an add-in) won't work at all. I've enabled
them, disabled them. checked Trust Center, researched. I'm clueless. The
Additional Actions item appears on the right-click submenu, but when I click
it, whatever app I'm using, closes. 

 

Thanks in advance,

But if you're interested you can call me to get the back story.

Or call him direct:

Scott Arens, 619-917-1119

Rocky:



I would definitely be open to working with someone in another country.  I
think that idea more than a college student because a) I would not know how
to find them and b) they probably won?t be around in a year or two.  I
would rather work with someone on a more long-term basis.



*What I need*



We want client to register for our courses from one spot, as follows:



https://ahiassociates.com/scheduled-courses/



It looks weird now as we are having issues with site.



This will include all of our courses (five different) from different
providers (us, various state societies), with different lengths and with
different start dates.  If there are say 30 courses available we want the
potential customer to be able to filter using a few parameter so they can
see those courses that fit their needs.



I know you could do this in a snap in Access, since you have done such
filters and far more.  But it needs to work on the site.



All of the data in the website will match the courses in the database.
Exactly. It would be great if there was some automatic integration or some
ability to download the data to a file and then upload to the site.
Otherwise, we would need to input (re-input) each cell individually.



Any thoughts or referrals would be appreciated.



Scott

No, I don't do Word Press.  I don't know of someone right off but will
think on it. Would you consider a college student - you might have some
luck at the Universities.  I'll bet there are some crack WordPress
programmers at UCSD.



Would you be amenable to working remotely with someone, maybe even
foreign?  I can poll my forum.



What kind of searching do you want to do? Would the data you're looking for
be available in the revised version of the AHI database?

We need a programmer to help us create a course search function on our AHI

recommendations?
