Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Decode Commands Without a Keyword
The current approach for localization uses a keyword to decode all of the command output. For details, see the step about retrieving a keyword from the resource bundle in Define a New Job to Operate With Localized Data.
However, another approach uses a keyword to decode the first command output only, and then decodes further commands with the character set used to decode the first command. To do this, you use the getCharsetName and useCharset methods of the ShellUtils object.
The regular use case works as follows:
-
Invoke the executeCommandAndDecode method once.
-
Obtain the most recently used character set name through the getCharsetName method.
-
Make shellUtils use this character set by default, by invoking the useCharset method on the ShellUtils object.
-
Invoke the execCmd method of ShellUtils one or more times. The output is returned with the character set specified in the previous step. No additional decoding operations occur.
