How to remove escape characters

When there is string in my source like my boss is "chandra" it is taking like it is taking like "my boss is ""chandra""".
Could you please give me suggestion how I can eliminate unnecessary escape character.
-Pallav

Hi Pallav,
Is possible to you just use a replace function at a stage area mapping?
like: (assume that "my boss is ""chandra""" is at col1)
replace(col1, '""', '"')
it's means, replace 2 " by 1 "

How to remove the characters from first and last position of a string?

Hi all,
I am creating an application where i am using vb script to export the data to excel.
In the excel sheet most of the values are entered with double " quotes.
so the entry looks like ""http://www.sap.com"".
Notice that it is starting with "" and not " . so the vb takes it as a line feed and shows an error .
It will be great if anybody can tell me how to remove these set of quotes ,so that the value should come as "http://www.sap.com" . A sample code wil be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
mahima.

Hi,
To modify you excel you have 2 options, 1) you can filter them in excel itself by using filter ...etc in excel itself. or 2) you can do it by using ABAP code.
Below code may help you.
Get the data from Excel to Internal table using FM :
call function 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
exporting
    filename                = 'c:\temp\test.xls'
    i_begin_col             = 1
    i_begin_row             = 1
    i_end_col               = w_values
    i_end_row               = 10
tables
    intern                  = t_alsmex_tabline
exceptions
    inconsistent_parameters = 1
    upload_ole              = 2
    others                  = 3.
Now replace all unwanted "" in internal table with space.
replace all occurrences of '""' in itab-field with '   '.
Again you can export to Excel using
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    exporting
      filename                = lv_file
      filetype                = 'DAT'
      append                  = ' '
      write_field_separator   = 'X'
    tables
      data_tab                = itab.

How to replace escape characters in a string ?

Thanks in advance.If the String you're trying to replace contains a slash you need four slashes (double it for java, then again because String.replaceAll takes a regular expression)
So I think what you're looking for is:
String newStmt = stmt.replaceAll("\\\\bullet\\\\tab", "B");I haven't tested that though.

[Forum FAQ] How to remove div characters from multiline textbox field in SharePoint 2013

Scenario:
Need to avoid the div tags and get data alone from multiline textbox field using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013.
Solution:
We can use a regular expression to achieve it.
The steps in detail as follows:
1. Insert a Script Editor Web Part into the page.
2. This is the complete code, add it into the Script Editor Web Part and save.
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(retrieveListItems, "sp.js");
function retrieveListItems() {
// Create an instance of the current context to return context information
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
//Returns the list with the specified title from the collection
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('CustomListName');
//use CAML to query the top 10 items
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
//Sets value that specifies the XML schema that defines the list view
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
//Returns a collection of items from the list based on the specified query
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(this.collListItem, 'Include(Title,MultipleText)');
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
//Returns an enumerator to iterate through the collection
var listItemEnumerator = this.collListItem.getEnumerator();
//Remove div tag use a regular expression
var reg1 = new RegExp("<div class=\"ExternalClass[0-9A-F]+\">[^<]*", "");
var reg2 = new RegExp("</div>$", "");
//Advances the enumerator to the next element of the collection
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
//Gets the current element in the collection
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
alert(oListItem.get_item('MultipleText').replace(reg1, "").replace(reg2, ""));
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
</script>

How to remove extra Characters in a string

Hi,
I have created a variable , that basically converts all the data from separate rows in one cell , but for some resons i am getting alot of commas between different values , for example
Var_ Max concatnate 8
208016,,,,,207736,,,,,,205796,,,204476,204441,203521,111460,111382,110812,110504,110483,109908,,,101284,
but i want to show like
i just want 1 "," after every value , and deleting the last "," as well , like where every is more than 1 "," show just one "," and also dont show the coma after the last value

Var_Ctegory 8

Sql: remove special characters

Hello!
maybe someone has a hint for me how to remove special characters such as tab/new line characters from columns?
Thanks in advance!
Tiberius

Hmm... actually it's straight forward:
drop table mytexts
create table mytexts (comment varchar(50))
insert into mytexts values ('This is a standard text!')
insert into mytexts values ('There comes a TAB <--')
insert into mytexts values ('This is called a newline
<--<')
select * from mytexts
| COMMENT |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| This is a standard text! |
| There comes a TAB <-- |
| This is called a newline
<--< |
3 rows selected (1375 usec)
sqlcli db770=> select replace (replace(comment, ' '), '
> ') as cleaned_comment from mytexts
> ;
| CLEANED_COMMENT |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| Thisisastandardtext! |
| TherecomesaTAB<-- |
| Thisiscalledanewline<--< |
3 rows selected (1662 usec)
Seems to work...
