Charecter strings in Double quotes

Hi All,
By default, all charecter strings in Oracle are enclosed within single quotes. Is there a way to make Oracle accept charecter strings enclosed in double quotes?
Example
Table A
Ename varchar2(20)
Current setup is
INSERT INTO A VALUES('NEW_USER');
What I need to do is
INSERT INTO A VALUES("NEW_USER");
Is this really possible?
Thanks in advance

Why do you need to do this?

StringTokenizer class problem with strings in double quotes

Hello Technocrats,
I have a problem with tokenizing following string enclosed in (). (abc," India, Asia", computer engineer). My separator is ",", thus StringTokenizer class gives me 4 tokens namely abc, "India, Asia" and computer engineer. But I require that String in double quotes should be a single token. How to achieve this using StringTokenizer class? Or is there any other way?
Thanks in advance.

Try
String[] str="abc,\" India, Asia\",computer engineer".split(",",1);
          for(String s: str)
               System.out.println(s);
          }Thanks.

Extracting string inside double quote

Hi,
In perl this is really easy, but I can't get it to work correclt in java. I'm trying to extract a string that is in double quotes following a keyword...
String: SRCH base="o=answer" filter="me" attrs=ALL
I want to extract the first quoted value after "SRCH base="
In perl I used: / SRCH base=\"(.*)\" /i
In java I'm using: " SRCH base=\"(.*)\" "
The problem is that it doesn't stop after hitting the second quote. So I get this result:
o=answer" filter="me
Notice that it stopped matching after hitting the third quote. Weird.
I know this is probably really simple, but I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Mark

I guess if you wrote a regex that matches any string
that starts with ", ends with ", and has anything in
between you could use a Matcher to find each
occurrence, but I don't regex enough to write it :)[url #" style="display: block; background-image: url('http://www.shanghaiist.com/attachments/shang_neil/bat-signal-edit.jpg'); width: 325px; height: 217px]

Binds with string containing double quotes

Hello there,
I have the following SELECT statement which is run from a Delphi application :
SELECT Customer, Last_Name
FROM Customer
WHERE UPPER(Last_Name) LIKE :last;
:last has the string value of Smith"a".
Is there a problem with binds and strings wich contain double quotes?.
If so, how can I fix this problem?
Thanks,
Mia

Hi
There is no problem in this example. Content of bind variable is not part of syntc checking, so you can have any characters.

Double Quotes in MaxL Strings

I am trying to pass in a calc script string from a Perl script to a MaxL script. The calc script needs double quotes around some of the member names (yes, I know I can create aliases with underscores to work around this, but I can't believe this isn't possible). I can escape the double quote characters in Perl, no problem. But the double quotes just get stripped by MaxL. Here is an example: MAXL> echo 'I am "quoting" this'; I am "quoting" this MAXL> set X = 'I am "quoting" this'; MAXL> echo $X; I am quoting this MAXL> There is nothing in the docs about escaping double quote characters. I've tried using backslash, no luck there. I've tried using double double quotes and they all get stripped. I've tried doing this inside single quoted strings and double quoted strings - no joy whatsoever. The funny thing is the example above, where simply echoing the literal string works, but assigning it to a variable strips out the double quotes. Does anyone know how to get double quotes into a MaxL string variable? There has to be a way... Thanks, James

Yes, I've dealt with enclosing variables in double quotes in order for MaxL to parse them properly, but what I'm trying to do is use a variable that contains a double quote. Such as: set QuoteVar = 'I am "quoting" this'; I'm trying to set substitution variables via MaxL, and some of my existing sub vars have double quotes in them so that they can be used to store member names that appear in calc scripts. As I said, I know I can accomplish this with an alias table that creates a version of the member name that doesn't need quotes, but that's a whole deal to maintain just for this one thing and it seems overly burdensome for such a simple task. Also, as I said, MaxL does fine with double quotes in literal strings, it's only when assigned to variables that it always strips them out. I want to create a relatively generic script for setting sub vars, so I need to pass variables around. Just calling MaxL from Perl and passing in parameters that get converted to $1, $2, etc. causes these double quotes to get stripped. So, is there any way around this? Thanks, James

Pass double-quote inside a string via flashvars and SWFObject?

Hi All,
Consider some SWFObject code like this:
flashvars.data1 = "{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}";
flashvars.data2 = '{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}';
If I host my SWF in IE, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data1 will be a string, with double-quotes (" entities will be translated to double quotes). However, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data2 will simply be the one-character string "{".
The opposite is true in Firefox. FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data2 will be a string, with double-quotes (" entities will be translated to double quotes). However, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data1 will simply be the one-character string "{".
How can I pass a double-quote in a flashvar using SWFObject that works in all browsers? I've been searching on this and haven't been able to find a straight answer...
-Josh

This works in both IE, Firefox, and Chrome:
flashvars.data2 = escape('{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}');
Is that the way to go if you want double quotes in your string?

FTP "PWD" and unescabe double quotes

HI
I am using LV8.2.1 and the internet toolkit.
There is a FTP function called "PWD"(print working directory) who I think got a bug.
It don't put out the working direktory.
It take the reply text ( ex: Current working directory is "fs")and use the subVI "unescabe double quotes.vi" to remove the quotes, but this subVI need to have a string where the hole text is surrounded with double qoutes.
The FTP "PWD" function send a string like this( ex: Current working directory is "fs") to the subVI and that result in an empty string out.
Take a look at the attached pictures.
regards Bjarne

Hi Bjarne,
what FTP server are you using? It seems your FTP server doesn't follow the protocol. The response to a "PWD" should be like this:
257 "/path/on/server" [is current directory.]
It should start with the 257 code, followed by the path surrounded by double quotes.
If the FTP server follows the protocol the PWD VI works just fine.
As a workaround, you can use the "reply string" output of the PWD VI and use a match pattern to find the portion string between double quotes.

SSRS Report Returning Double Quote string from a Single Quote String

Hi, I'm getting weird thing in resultset from SSRS report when executed. When I pass parameter to a report, which passes String that has single quote value to a split function , it returns rows with double quote.
For example following string:
'N gage, Wash 'n Curl,Murray's, Don't-B-Bald
Returns:
''N gage, Wash ''n Curl,Murray''s, Don''t-B-Bald
through SSRS report.
Here is the split function Im using in a report.
CREATE Function [dbo].[fnSplit] (
@List varchar(8000),
@Delimiter char(1)
Returns @Temp1 Table (
ItemId int Identity(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ,
Item varchar(8000) NULL
As
Begin
Declare @item varchar(4000),
@iPos int
Set @Delimiter = ISNULL(@Delimiter, ';' )
Set @List = RTrim(LTrim(@List))
-- check for final delimiter
If Right( @List, 1 ) <> @Delimiter -- append final delimiter
Select @List = @List + @Delimiter -- get position of first element
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
While @iPos > 0
Begin
-- get item
Select @item = LTrim( RTrim( Substring( @List, 1, @iPos -1 ) ) )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- remove item form list
Select @List = Substring( @List, @iPos + 1, Len(@List) - @iPos + 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- insert item
Insert @Temp1 Values( @item ) If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
-- get position pf next item
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
End
Return
End
FYI: I'm getting @List value from a table and passing it as a string to split function.
Any help would be appreciated!

How to replace double quotes with a single quote in a string ?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me how to replace double Quote (") in a string with a single quote (') ? I tried to use REPLACE function, but I couldn;t get it worked.
My example is SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', ''') FROM Dual --This one throws an error
Thanks,
Dima.

Whether it is maybe not the more comfortable way, I like the quoting capabitlity from 10g :
SQL> SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', q'(')') FROM Dual;
REPLACE(
STN. 'A'{code}

XSD OTD compilefailure String literal not properly closed by double-quote

Java CAPS 5.1.3
I have created a XSD to describe a simple XML file. After this I created an OTD from the exported XSD file.
This OTD is being used in a JCD. During the build of the Deployment Profile I get the error: :Compile failed: xsd.XSD_MB235401907.X_all_B: Line 69: String literal is not properly closed by a double-quote
All steps have been preferformed within the same eDesigner and the same repository.
I have verified the XSD file with netbeans and can not see a problem with the file itself.
Any ideas to resolve this compile failure?

You may need to escape the default slash "\\".
I'd suggest importing the xsd into the jcaps xml schema editor and verifying that way and then creating the otd by node export.

From the Java specification (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se5.0/html/lexical.html#3.10.5):
It is a compile-time error for a line terminator to appear after the opening " and before the closing matching ".
In other words, string literals cannot span lines.
You can use the concatenation operator ( + ) to fix this:
String myLiteral = "A long line " +
"Another long line " +
"Another long line, etc.";
If you're going to ever print out that string literal (like for debugging purposes), it would probably be better to have a return at the end of each line (\n):
String myLiteral = "A long line\n" +
"Another long line\n" +
"Another long line, etc.";

String value changes single quote ' to double quote "

I am creating a list with different bill codes within single
quotes as follows
<cfset corlist = " '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ' ">
when I do an output
for
<cfoutput>AND idbillcode IN ( #corlist
#)</cfoutput>
I get the values as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ')
However when I put the same string within a cfquery the
single quotes get replaced by double quotes as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( ''1100 '',''1200 '',''1300 '',''1700
'',''1800 '',''1950 '',''7001 '') which throws an error.
Anybody has any clues.
Thanks.

That is ColdFusion escaping the single quotes, by doubling
them so that
you can search for strings such as "singhpk's code does not
work".
(Note the single quote/apostrophe that would normally break
this string
if it was not escaped.
To tell CF not to do this, one uses the
preserveSingleQuotes() function.
The documentation has all the details.

Escaping double quotes and/or semi-colons in connection string

Can someone show me a working example of a connection string that uses a password that contains a double quote (") and another example that has a password that contains a semi-colon.
I cannot get this to work and I can't find anything in the documentation.

You didn't say what part of the .NET documentation this came from. I tried this with ODP.NET and I was unable to get it to work.
Did you try it?

Embedded double quotes in a quoted string not working.

It seems that Numbers doesn't process embedded double quotes correctly in a quoted string. Is this an issue that Apple are aware about? Any fixes planned? Is this an issue that Apple are aware about? Any fixes planned?
This is not an issue in Excel, but I'd prefer to use Numbers.

To run Hiroto's script, copy and paste into AppleScript Editor. Click the compile "hammer" to make sure the copy/paste went well. Then (still in AppleScript Editor click the run button. Then, back in Numbers, click once in a cell in an existing table, and paste.
To run the service in the post immediately above Hiroto's, just click the link in my post and doubleclick the downloaded .workflow package. (You may have to go to System Preferences > Privacy & Security and click "Download Anyway"). It then appears automatically in your Numbers > Services menu. Then to run the script just choose the item in the menu item CSV to Tabs on Clipboard.
You can uninstall the Service at any time by holding down the option key while in Finder and from the menu Go > Library > Services.
If you have a chance to try these, would be interested in hearing back whether they worked for you. They are working well on my setup here.
