Hi guys,
I have a column that contains Names with Mobile numbers. How can I get rid off the letters in the column, or how can I extract only the numbers from the column!!!!

Or you can use REAPLCE and TRANSLATE functions if your DB versio is lower than 10g
SELECT REPLACE(TRANSLATE(UPPER('ArunKumarGupta9000888777'),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',' '),' ','')
FROM DUALRegards

Extract numbers from mixed string.

How do I extract numbers from a mixed-character string?
These are house numbers and I have some exceptions - examples below.
How do I get rid of the letter/dash part, and keep the numeric part only?

Thanks a lot.

It does not work if you have a string like 3343S##@1~!234
OP, you can try this:

Extract addresses from text

I'm trying to use automator to extract addresses from a text document. It's a long list of addresses and I eventually need to print them on to mailing labels. The trouble is having them identified, and extracted. After that I can put them into address book and take care of the printing. Any suggestions on where to start in automator?

Plain text, entries are separated by a blank line.
The format is typically:
City, State
Company
address line 1
address line 2
City, State Zip
Phone: ###-###-####
Fax: ###-###-####
E-Mail: [email protected]
Web: http://www.website.com
We're only looking to use the first 5 lines. I would like to pipe this information into address book. Then print labels from there, but that can be handled outside of automator. It's pulling the data out of the text that I'm having trouble with.
It's a a lot to do by hand. Work smarter not harder right?

How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..
DATA: T_FILEDATA(1000) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                      = 'C:\TEST.TXT'
tables
    data_tab                      = T_FILEDATA

   FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
   FILE_READ_ERROR               = 2
   NO_BATCH                      = 3
   GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER       = 4
   INVALID_TYPE                  = 5
   NO_AUTHORITY                  = 6

   BAD_DATA_FORMAT               = 8
   HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED            = 9
   SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED         = 10
   HEADER_TOO_LONG               = 11
   UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR              = 12

Extract values from text in reporting environment

I need write a query based on a bunch of user supplied IDs. The IDs will be pasted as plain text, one per row, by end user in a memo field in the reporting environment, and I need to do something like this:
SELECT PHONE_NUMBER FROM TELEPHONE
WHERE
ID IN('MEMO_ID1', 'MEMO_ID2',.....)
Reporting environment does not provide any tools to automatically convert plain text into IDs.
Is there any way in SQL I can do this?

In this case you may going for the "words" with something like
with memos as (
select 'id1'||chr(10)||'id2'||chr(10)||'id3'||chr(10)||'id4' id from dual
, telephone as (
select 'id2' id, '46574' PHONE_NUMBER from dual
select
PHONE_NUMBER
from telephone
where
id in (
select regexp_substr(id, '\w+',1,level) id
from memos
connect by
level <= regexp_count(id,'\w+',1)
PHONE_NUMBER
46574But take a look at the docs, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25518/adfns_regexp.htm#CHDJGBGG,
to be sure that \w covers all alpahnumeric characters could be in the id, more important be aware, that all characters not belonging to the character class \w, are treated as separators, as # for example.
So another way could be going for the separators. Notice that chr(13) is replaced by chr(10) before, in order to cover the mosts common linebreaks.
with memos as (
select 'id1'||chr(10)||'id_#2'||chr(13)||chr(10)||'id3'||chr(10)||'id4' id from dual
, r_memos as (
select replace (id, chr(13), chr(10)) id from memos
select regexp_substr(id, '[^'||chr(10)||']+' ,1,level) id
from r_memos
connect by level <= regexp_count(id,'['||chr(10)||']+') + 1
ID
id1
id_#2
id3
id4regards

Extracting paragraphs from text

Hi,
I am reading text ( consisting of many paragraphs ( sample given below) into a variable
As you can see this text contains 3 paragraphs.
Can you let me know how to each paragraph.

     A contrary view has been taken in England on the corresponding
provisions of the English Companies Acts of 1862
+     It is true that under section 76 of the Act a general meeting of a+
company has to be held once at least in every calendar year and if a
default is made, the company and every director or the manager of the
company who is knowingly and wilfully a party to the default shall be
liable to a fine not exceeding five hundred rupees.

daily fine during the continuance of the default indicates the following.

Extracting number from text files for variable

Hello again,
I have several different types of text files all with the line
# NPTS=32768 DT=0.005
somewhere in the file. The numerical values are different for each file and I need to pull them out to assign as a variable for a program I am running.
How can I search a file and pull out each of these two numbers?
Thank you

Procyon's sed script assumes that the NPTS number and the DT number will both always have a period in them. In the original, the NPTS number doesn't have a period, and I don't know whether the DT number may lack a period.
You could try this instead (replacing the 's~....~p' part of Procyon's script):
's~# NPTS=$[0-9.]*$ *DT=$[0-9.]*$~\1,\2~p'
That may let in stuff you want to exclude, for instance, it would let in:
NPTS=0.0.0.0.0 DT=1.1.1.1.1
and:
NPTS=....... DT=
and so on. But it's a tradeoff: if you know your data doesn't include anything like that, you can go with a simpler sed script. If you need to be fussier about what you're matching, then your sed script will need to be more complex.
EDIT: What I said in first paragraph is wrong. I overlooked the '*' after the '\.' in Procyon's script. What he's got will permit but not require a period. My final point still applies, though, to both of our suggestions. His script and my script would both match the second of my bad cases.

Can't extract ringtone from text message

My son sent me a ring tone via text message. The last time he did this I was able to touch the ring tone on my screen and save it to my phone. This time it won't let me. The only difference I can see if that this ring tone was made using Quicktime. Is there something I should be doing to save it to my phone? My computer was hit with a virus so I can't even send it to my email and drag it over.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I got the iPhone in June I set it up on my laptop. The ringtones were sent to me by my sons. I thought I had put them on my phone my saving them directly on my iPhone from a text, but everyone is telling me I didn't. So I am assuming I synched them over. In July my laptop was hit by some virus. The laptop had to by wiped clean. I got my laptop back last week. I had to download a new iTunes to my the computer. I did that. I transferred my music purchases over, my app purchases and I synched my phone, but the existing ringtones on my phone did not synch over. When I went to click the synch button I got that bizarre message. Fearfull I would loose those ringtones I did not sync. I have a ringtone that my son emailed me in the library of my iTunes, but I can't get it to my phone because if I sync it I am afraid I will loose it.

When I add contacts from text messages they don't show up in my Contacts list.

Right, I hope I didn't miss another thread. Nothing appears in my contacts list when I try to save numbers from text messages. The only way to save a contact is to type it manually. But the "save to contacts" option is there, so where is it actually saving all those numbers ?

Hey Xyz321Abc,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check to make sure all of your groups are being displayed. It is possible that your new contacts are defaulting to a group that is hidden. With the Contacts application open, do the following to make sure that all groups are checked:
Show or hide a group. Tap Groups, then select the groups you want to see. This button appears only if you have more than one source of contacts.
