Carriage return with concatenation

Hi, I have an address table that has the address, city, state, and zip. I'm trying to make a select statement that will display each field on a line. I want to place address, city, state, and zip into an Alias Address. Is there a char value that I can use to do the carriage return?
Select address || city || state || ', ' || zip AS "Address" From address;
I want the output to be like:
address
city
state, zip
I just need to know what to put between the address, city and state to make them go on their own line.

SQL> SELECT
2 'John Doe'
3 || CHR(10)
4 || '100 Main St.'
5 || CHR(10)
6 || 'Anytown, USA 00000' address
7 FROM DUAL
8 /
ADDRESS
John Doe
100 Main St.
Anytown, USA 00000HTH,

Carriage Return with the text in xdofx

Hi
I have to insert a carriage return with in a text I tried <?xdoxslt:chr(10)?>
e.g <?xdofx:if x>'0' then 'Approved. Thank you.' else 'Disapprov.Thank you. ' end if?>
so the output should be
Approved
Thank You
I need carriage return between Approved and Thank You
Thanks

Use this:
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(x>0, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
I tried this and it works
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(10>9, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
Thanks,

Replacing carriage return with HTML " br/ "

All,
I have a textarea in an HTML page that receives text input from the user. The text is stored in a varchar2 column and then rendered back into the HTML page as static text.
I'd like to make it easy for the end user and not force them to enter "<br/>" characters (exactly how this forum works) for new lines and paragraphs.
On the insert trigger for the note text, I'm thinking of using:
:new.note_text := replace(:old.note_text, chr(0), '<br/>');1) Will this work?
2) Is this the best way to do this?
Thanks.

Yes, I did mean chr(10). So I set up my trigger to include the replace() function on "note_text":
create or replace trigger "NOTE_INSERT_TGR"
BEFORE
insert on "NOTE"
for each row
declare
next_val number(20);
begin
select note_id_seq.nextval
    into next_val
    from dual;
:new.note_id       := next_val;
:new.note_text     := replace(:old.note_text, chr(10), '<br/>');
:new.date_created := sysdate;
:new.last_modified := sysdate;
end;
/but nothing is being inserted into the "note_text" field. In my PL/SQL code block, I'm using the following logic for the insert statement:
if (:P2_NOTE_TEXT is not null) then
    insert into note(application_id, note_text)
      values(:P2_APPLICATION_ID, :P2_NOTE_TEXT);
end if;and have even tried placing the replace() function here with no results at all (probably related to some internal processing with HTMLDB).
When I query my note table, I can verify (null) is being inserted.
select note_id, note_text
from note
returns
NOTE_ID     NOTE_TEXT
56     (null)Any ideas why I'm losing the note text?
Thanks.

Parsing a csv file with carriage return replaced with #

Hi,
We have a weird problem. We are able to download a csv file using standard FM HTTP_GET. We want to parse the file and upload the data into our SAP CRM system. However, the file downloaded, has the carriage return replaced and the character # replaces it and everything seems like its one line.
I understand that the system replaces the Carriage return with the charater #. My question is, if I try to pass this file into my program to parse for the data, will there be any issues in the system recognizing that "#" that it is a carriage return and that the data in the file is not 1 record but multiple records?

Hi
'#' is what you see in the SAP. But the actuall ascii associated will be of carraige return itself. So to identify if you have multiple records of not don't use hard coded '#' but instead use the constant CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

Importing XML Text files with Indesign friendly 'Carriage Returns'

Hi,
I have a question wrt importing XML into Indesign. I have my text stored in Excel (Fig A) and intend to export as an XML file where each line will represent each page. However, my first attempt failed to treat the 'carriage returns' as I'd envisaged:
The 'carriage returns' used within an Excel cell (ALT-ENTER) are maintained when transforming to a CSV file (Fig B). However, when converting to an XML file, the conversion only takes place on a line by line basis and hence the XML file becomes incomplete (Fig C).
So, it appears I need to make sure that the CSV file contains one line per entry, while also maintaining the actual carriage returns in my source spreadsheet and for Indesign to recognise them. In order to do this, I'll need to substitute the 'carriage returns' in my excel column to be represented by a new set of characters. My question is how can I let Indesign know to recognise this set of characters to be converted to a carriage return, when importing text.
For example, if this set of characters was '%%%%%%', then my new csv file would look like Figure D and the XML would be produced correctly, like Figure E. Then importing this XML file to InDesign, the carriage returns would automatically be reinstated, hopefully.
I hope someone can help me as I am only starting out in Indesign and feel Im running before I can walk by venturing into the XML/Indesign arena too soon.
Best Regards
Luke

Hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
With regard to XML, it could well be an issue has crept in because I am using another utility to convert my csv's to xml and maybe there are better options out there. I will take a look for other utilities and try that (Its not possible from Excel easily, even though there is an option to save as an XML file).
Secondly, because the XML was readable by internet explorer, I assumed it had a satisfactory standard XML format which would be accepted by any program, including InDesign. This proved true, since the XML file i generated was actually recognised by my Indesign document and populated the tags correctly, albeit without any carriage returns.
When I save my excel sheet as a csv, it does actually hold the carriage returns causing multiple lines per entry, hence why I need to substitute the actual carriage returns in my excel sheet to a alternative character set so that the entry remains on one line.
Re: Double quotes on text fields. Im sorry, I didnt realise I had commas in my sample csv example.
I should have corrected it, but I intend on using semi-colons as my csv delimiter and don't intend on having semi-colons in my excel sheet itself, so I possibly won't need any double-quotes.
So, it looks like this is what I need to do ;
i) Add a column in Excel which substitutes all the carriage returns with a line break identifier (^n).
ii) Convert Excel file to a semi-colon csv holding this new column,
iii) Convert csv file to XML using a good CSV->XML utility,
iv) Add the respective XML tags to my INDD document,
v) Add a GREP rule which does a find/replace on all instances of ^n and replace with a line break,
vi) Import the XML file,
vii) Apply the find/replace GREP rule on the whole document. Carriage returns on my text fields should be consistent with my original excel sheet.
Thanks for all your help fellas. Will report on how I get on once Im done.
Best Regards

Exporting Text data from PHP to Oracle CLOB data (Carriage return - issue)

This is my original text content in PHP - Data type - Longtext
SECTION - 1
This a test description.This a test description.
This a test description.This a test description.
This a test description. This a test description.I exported the above content from PHP as a SQL script file (insert into.. ) - export.sql [ insert into table_name (id, text_content) values (1, '') ]
while exporting data from PHP table into export file.. it replaced the "Carriage return" with "\r\n\r\n" in the insert statement for text_content column
When I run this INSERT statement in Oracle (for longtext, I have created a CLOB column in Oracle), the following text_content data is inserted into CLOB column in Oracle.
SECTION - 2
This a test description.This a test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a
test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a test description.Now I have created a item named P1_TEXT_CONTENT of type TEXTAREA and try to fetch the CLOB data into this page item.
BUT textarea displays the entire content including "\r\n\r\n" as mentioned in SECTION - 2
I want to display the content in textarea (item - P1_TEXT_CONTENT) without "\r\n\r\n" same as the original content with "Carriage return" as mentioned in SECTION - 1
What are the options we have?
Thanks,
Deepak

What are the options we have?Run an update on the Oracle table following the inserts to replace the escaped CR/LFs with real ones:
update foo
set clob_column = replace(clob_column, '\r\n', chr(13) || chr(10));You might want to experiment to see which characters are actually necessary. As an OS X/Linux user I'd probably just use a single LF chr(10).

HTML Textarea removing Carriage Returns

Hi,
Hoping someone can assist, I am retrieving some data from a table that currently consists of carriage returns but when I try and retrieve this information via Ajax and pass it back into the HTML page textarea field within ApEx, the value returned is one continuous string.
All my carriage returns are removed.
Can someone please assist, possibly using a javascript solution or some other type as to how I can preserve the carriage returns.
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony,
I suspect the problem is simply due to the way HTML handles line breaks, which is to say, it generally ignores them. For example, this html:
<p>To be or not to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; </p>would be displayed in a browser as:
To be or not to be, that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep; No more;
One way to get around this is to wrap the string in {font:Courier}<pre></pre>{font} tags; another would be to replace the carriage returns with {font:Courier}<br>{font}
Hope this helps.
tx, --Jen

Regular Expression. Select Statement. Carriage Return

Oracle 9i
Using SQLPLUS
I've read about regular expression and need some translation/explanation.
I have a large table containing a varchar2 (free text) column. Users may have inserted carriage returns when they entered the data. I need to locate rows that contain carriage returns, select and display them. Later I'll need to update those rows to replace the carriage returns with a space.
Can you assist with syntax. I believe use of a regular expression is required.
Thanks

for single characters like <CR> TRANSLATE() Doh. Never post at the end of a long day.
As the other posters have pointed out, one-for-one single character substitution is normally done with REPLACE(), although TRANSLATE() also works. The more normal role for TRANSLATE() is situations where you want to substitute multiple characters, e.g.
SQL> update <your table> set <your column> = replace (<your column> , chr(13)||chr(10), ' ');This substitutes a space for a carriage return and line feed combination.
Cheers, APC

Separating "concatenated responses" with a carriage return?

How can you separate multiple text responses with a carriage return?
Nothing looks good, semicolons and periods not working well.
Any ideas?

I'm using a Mac.
I'd like to separate individual responses in the summary column with a carriage return, so if the first response in the table column is "Fortunate" and the next response below it is "Random", and then "Bob's your uncle", what shows up right now with =concatenate(@column & "; ") isn't quite what I want (shows up as: Fortunate; Random; Bob's your uncle; ).
I'd like it either to show up as numbered responses (ie, 1. Fortunate 2. Random 3. Bob's your uncle)
Or show up as:
Fortunate
Random
Bob's your uncle
Thanks for the help.

Problem with "carriage Return" or "Line Feed" in a table

Hello,
I need help with the function Zeichen(), so called it in german, I'm not sure if it is char() in english.
In Pages Version 4.0.1 (746) I've created a table in Pages with this function to make an "carriage Return" in a cell.
Here an example: { ="Hello" & Zeichen(10) & "World" }, in the cell is now:
| Hello |
| World |
But in Pages Version 4.0.3 (766) this function ZEICHEN() not allow the number 10 and other till 32 (I allready read the manual and understand this problem).
Anybody an idea to make a "Carriage Return" or "Line feed" in a formular, in a cell, in a table, in Pages?
Thanks
Detlev Kormann

Your workaround will not be possible in my table, because there is no empty cell in the table, but I think it is also a good help too.
*In fact I forgot that you are using a table in Pages.*
Remaining on my first idea, In Numbers we may achieve the same goal using an auxiliary table with a single cell containing the needed line break.
If this table is named "LineBreak",
the formula will be:
="Hello"&LineBreak :: $A$1&"World"
*In Pages, here is my workaround:*
Enter the cell
type a§b
don't type the character § but ctrl + return.
The cell will contain
a
b
with the arrow, move before the a
type =B2&"
delete the original a
move to the right
delete the original b
type "&C7

Help needed with Carriage Return in Unicode system

Hi Experts,
we have an issue with one of our programs regarding the carriage return that is used when creating a csv file. This issue has only came about because of the recent upgrade to ECC6.
The main change to the program was the redefinition of the line feed variable.
Existing statement was --> DATA: v_lf TYPE x VALUE '0D'.
This was then replaced with
New statement --> DATA: v_lf type c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
Since this change has been implemented, the csv file that is created and sent on as an attachment via the function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 is now not displayed correctly.
When looking at the attachment in trn SOST, a message is also displayed saying the file is not in a recognizable format when selecting the file to view.
The hex value for cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf is 000D000A and this seems to be causing the issue.
I've also tried using Function FI_DME_CHARATERS as I only really want to use the CR. However, the hex value for this is 000D and not 0D.
Is there any way of converting this to have a hex value of 0D?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Creating Wordpress blog entries with Safari 3 loses carriage returns

Hi all,
Ever since I started using Safari on Leopard, I've been losing all my carriage returns in my Wordpress entries. I don't know what's causing it, but Safari for Tiger, and Firefox 2.0.0.8 running on Tiger, Leopard, and Windows XP don't cause this to happen.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? The carriage returns are apparently getting erased somehow because where there should be a <p />, there's instead no space between the last period of a sentence and the first letter of the next.
eg:
This is the end of the line.This is the next line
I'm not sure this is fixable by the users.

Hi all,
Same safari/wordpress problem here.
And not the only one! (cookies, crashes)
With the safari troubles I am now using camino more and more often. If it did copy formated text properly it would now be my first choice.
However I do like safiris search/find a lot!!

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

Receiver File channel for XML files: with carriage return

Hi all,
we are using a receiver FILE channel to generate an XML file that is sent to an external partner.
The XML file looks good in a parser (IExplorer). But in fact there are not carriage return / line feeds between the XML tags
of the XML payload in the file.
Our partner now requires the XML file in a more vertical structure which means: for every tag a separate line (like it is displayed in a parser)
Does anybody know a more general way to convert to a vertical XML structure (so with carriage return line feed).
There is one entry in the SDN dealing with this topic but suggesting using an UDF. I think this is a very specific way.
I don't think it is a good way to change/enhance the message mapping just because of a general formating change.
Is it better to use an XSLT mapping as a second step in the interface mapping or a JAVA adapter module to convert ?
any experiences? suggestions? examples?
Thank you very much
best regards
Hans
examples:
original by XI receiver FILE adapter
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_batchStatus><type>BS</type><header><message><messageSender>SENDER</messageSender><messageDate>20090723143720</messageDate> ... and so on
required:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_batchStatus>
<type>BS</type>
<header>
<message>
<messageSender>SENDER</messageSender>
<messageDate>20090723143720</messageDate>
... and so on

In such a case, the best is to write an generic XSLT or Java mapping that will attempt to do the pretty printing/formatting of the xml.
The advantage of a generic one is that you can reuse the same class/jar for many other scenarios.
so the flow will be as below in your interface mapping;
1. your specific source to target mapping
2. the generic formatting class

How to load data with carriage return through DRM action script ?

Hello,
We are using DRM to manage Essbase metadata. These metadata contain a field for member formula.
Currently it's a string data type property in DRM so we can't use carriage return and our formula are really hard to read.
But DRM support other data type property : memo or formatted memo where we can use carriage return.
Then in the export file, we have change the record delimiter to an other character than CRLF
Our issue : we are regularly using action script to load new metadata => How to load data properties with carriage return using action script ? There is no option to change the record delimiter.
Thanks!

Hello Sandeep
here what I want to do through action script : loading a formula that use more on than one line:
Here, I write my formula using 4 lines but action script cannot load since one line = 1 record.
