How can I extract text from a string

Hello,
I have a name column that has both first name and last name joined together as a string. I want to separate them in two different columns as firstname and lastname.
I use Report builder, please help with the query that will separate the string into two diferent columns.
Thanks

Hi sanjb12001,
Per my understanding that you want to separate a name column which contain the information of "First Name", "Middle Name", "Last Name" into three different column, right?
I have tested on my local environment and we have method to do this, one is do this in the query and Patrick Hurst
have already provide the solution, another method is to create three calculated fields using the split function in the expression to get the three new columns.
I assume you have the format like this in the name fields "FirstName MiddleName LastName", Details information about create the three columns for your reference:
Right click the dataset and select the "Add Calculated Field" to add three fields "FirstName", "MiddleName", "LastName":
Using below expression to get the values for these fields:
FirstName:
=split(Fields!name.Value," ")(0)
MiddleName:
=IIF(split(Fields!name.Value," ").Length=3,split(Fields!name.Value," ")(1),"")
LastName:
=split(Fields!name.Value," ")(split(Fields!name.Value," ").Length-1)
Preview you will got the result:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to extract text from a PDF file?

Hello Suners,
i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
               FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
               BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
               String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:
how to get text from this array? i was thinking of :
    private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        PdfReader read;
        StringBuffer buff=new StringBuffer();
        try {
            read = new PdfReader("d:/getjobid2727.pdf");
            read.getMetaData();
            byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
            int i=0;
            while(i>-1){
                buff.append(data);
i++;
String str=buff.toString();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:/test.txt");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF8");
out.write(str);
out.close();
read.close();
} catch (Exception f) {
f.printStackTrace();
"D:/test.txt" hasn't been created!! when i ran the program,
is my steps right?

One approach is to download Htmlparser from sourceforge
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ and write the rules to match title, abstract etc.
Another approach is to write your own parser that extract only title, abstract etc.
1. tokenize the html file. --> convert html into tokens (tag and value)
2. write a simple parser to extract certain information
find out about the pattern of text you want to extract. For instance "<class "abstract">.
then writing a rule for extracting abstract such as
if (tag is abstract ) then extract abstract text
apply the same concept for other tags
Attached is the sample parser that was used to extract title and abstract from acm html files. Please modify to include keyword and other fields.
good luck

Extract Text from pdf using C#

Hi,
We are Solution developer using Acrobat,as we have reuirement of extracting text from pdf using C# we have downloaded adobe sdk and installed. We have found only four exmaples in C# and those are used only for viewing pdf in windows application. Can you please guide us how to extract text from pdf using SDK in C#.
Thanks you for your help.
Regards
kiranmai

Okay so I went ahead and actually added the text extraction functionality to my own C# application, since this was a requested feature by the client anyhow, which originally we were told to bypass if it wasn't "cut and dry", but it wasn't bad so I went ahead and gave the client the text extraction that they wanted. Decided I'd post the source code here for you. This returns the text from the entire document as a string.
 private static string GetText(AcroPDDoc pdDoc)
 AcroPDPage page;
 int pages = pdDoc.GetNumPages();
 string pageText = "";
 for (int i = 0; i < pages; i++)
 page = (AcroPDPage)pdDoc.AcquirePage(i);
 object jso, jsNumWords, jsWord;
 List<string> words = new List<string>();
 try
 jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject();
 if (jso != null)
 object[] args = new object[] { i };
 jsNumWords = jso.GetType().InvokeMember("getPageNumWords", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jso, args, null);
 int numWords = Int32.Parse(jsNumWords.ToString());
 for (int j = 0; j <= numWords; j++)
 object[] argsj = new object[] { i, j, false };
 jsWord = jso.GetType().InvokeMember("getPageNthWord", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jso, argsj, null);
 words.Add((string)jsWord);
 foreach (string word in words)
 pageText += word;
 catch
 return pageText;

Extract text from pdf

Hi, is it possible to extract text from a pdf file using the command line to get an output like you would get by using the File menu and then 'Save as text..."?
I also noticed that in the installation folder there is a small executable called AcroTextExtractor which sounds interesting, but I was unable to figure out how to use it.

what's wrong with using automator for this? this certainly seems the easiest. I'm not aware of any built in apple script commands that will do this. But You should also ask on the Apple script forum under Mac OS Technologies.

Extract Text from PostScript

Can anyone please tell me how to extract text from postscript

Ghostscript is a postscript interpreter (one can actually program in postscript, and in fact postscript is a language BTW/FYI). Ghostscript is written in C (maybe C++) and yes, you can output to several different formats. I doubt you can go to HTML as it wouldn't really make much sense.
XML needs a DTD to make it of any use. You will have to call ghostscript through Runtime.exec() to use it, it will extract out purely the text from the PostScript ASSUMING the PS file contains text in that manner; it is possible to have PS text as output images in which case GS won't pick it up.

But take care on text threads accross several pages. If you delete a page with a text frame linked to a thread accross several pages, the text will change to the beginning of the thread on every first page.
So it might be good to run a script which will unlink threadened text frames before.
If you have often to do this task, there are several plugins which will help you to perform this. E.g. Output factory from http://zevrix.com/

You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

How to save a pic from an email

I love my droid x but I can't find an answer on how to save a pic from an email. Does anyone know how to do this or what app will help me ?

Im sorry, I left out a step, after you download file, then hold on file on list (Do not Open) and then select save from the menu.
Ok let try this again
1. Open Email
2. At top there should be the number and the words "View Attachments" - Click on View Attachments
3. Now you should have a list of attachments with a arrow next to it if not downloaded.
4. Click file you want to download and you should get a animation where the arrow was that is indicating its being downloaded.
5. Once the animation stops this means file has been downloaded to a temp file to be viewed.
6. Now Press and Hold on file text and a window should open with three options - VIEW - SAVE- and SHARE
7. Select Save from list
8. Once complete it will have a little message at bottom of page that says "File was downloaded to SD Card"
9. Now file will be saved in SD / Messages folder on SD Card.
