Problems searching for a string in JAR files

[Database Administrator]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a string in some JAR files. I'm using Solaris 9.
However, both zipgrep and grepjar are giving me problems and I'm
wondering what I'm doing wrong. Here's what happens with zipgrep ...

>zipgrep 'HtmlCommandButtonTag' ~/build_dir/NPS_History/GUI/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/*.jar

and grepjar ...

Any insights you have are most appreciated, - Dave

Presuming that you are using the String class then you just need to use the replace All(x,y) method which will find all sub strings of x, and replace them with y.

So if your string is called my String, then put in the code:
my String.replace All("'","")

That's a single quotes (inside double quotes) as the first argument, and then the empty string. Hope that helps.
