How to findout globals in cache.dat that contain unprintable characters.

I have a cache.dat contains 100s of globals, some of the globals
contain some unprintable character. I want to sacn the cache.dat to
findout the globals that contain certain unprintable character like
ascii character 27 (ESC)? Is there any cache utility/command to do so???

You posted a similar query in intersystems.public.cache.

How about:

x Set name="" For Set name=$Order(^$Global(name)) Quit:name="" Do
. Set ref=name For Set ref=$Query(@ref) Quit:ref="" Do
. . Write:@ref?.e1C.e !,ref
. . Quit
. Quit
Quit

Of course, you can embellish this to your heart's delight.

Best of luck,

Hey,

I recently wrote a routine to search for something in particular, but
not get bogged down going through huge globals that don't contain it
before searching the globals that do. That is, assume that it is in a
global that is not too big, but there are other, huge globals out
there. It's not really what you want, apparently. Or would it help?

I could post it, or make it a puzzle: what is the algorithm? (Note
that "huge" etc. need not be defined.)

C-B

PS It works pretty well. I use it as the lazy approach for finding
things. I found my Access Code in Vista and changed it to "A" that I
wasn't allowed to use when entering it using Vista.

to the best of my knowledge you will have to write a simple program

get global name
say global name is alpha
scr<>s a="^alpha",b=a
<>k tmp
<>f s a=$q(@a) q:$l(a,1,$l(b))'=b s c=@a d chk(a,c)
<>q
chk(x,y)<> f i=1:1:$l(x) s z=$e(x,i) d ;
<> . i $a(z)<34 s tmp(1,x,i)=""
<> . i $a(z)>128 s tmp(1,x,i)=""
<> . q
<> f i=1:1:$l(y) s z=$e(y,i) d ;
<>. i $a(z)<34 s tmp(2,x,i)=""
<> . i $a(z)>128 s tmp(2,x,i)=""
<> . q
<>q

this is real simple you can make it as complex as you like
tmp(1 is the global reference with character position that is control
tmp(2 is the global reference with character position of the data that is
control
