Check string for alpha numeric

is there a direct way to check whether the string is alpha numeric?

private boolean isAlphaNumeric(String str){
          boolean blnNumeric = false;
          boolean blnAlpha = false;
          char chr[] = null;
          if(str != null)
               chr = str.toCharArray();
          for(int i=0; i<chr.length; i++){
               if(chr[i] >= '0' && chr[i] <= '9'){
                    blnNumeric = true;
                    break;
          for(int i=0; i<chr.length; i++){
               if((chr[i] >= 'A' && chr[i] <= 'Z') || (chr[i] >= 'a' && chr[i] <= 'z')){
                    blnAlpha = true;
                    break;
          return (blnNumeric && blnAlpha);
Hope this would solve your problem

Check numbers in alpha numeric string

Is there any direct command or function module which will find numbers in alpha numeric string or it will check that the string contains only numbers ?

Check string for two special characters back to back

Hey all so I need to check if a string has 2 backslashes back to back ("\\"). So the string "\\computername\c$\file" would match but the string "C:\file\path" would not. I've tried contains, match, and like. I've tried the code
below which does work but gives me a false positive when I have a string like this "\computername\file\path".
$com = "\\computername\C$"
if($com -match "\\"){
Write-Host true
}else{
Write-Host false
Thanks for any help!

In Regex ^ matches the starting position of a string. \ is a special character in Regex so you need to escape it with another \, so since you want double backslash \\, you need to escape twice \\\\, so ultimately ^\\\\ reads, at the start of the string
find \\

Regex: check string for even number of a symbol

Hi,
for example "ass'asd'asd" is valid, but "asd'asd'asd'asd" is not, for symbol " ' ". I have tried every combination of \w, [...],',+ and nothing...
Ideas?

what is doing the %2 here, prome' ?If there are an even number of char symbol in String s, then s.length() - s.replace(""+symbol, "").length() will also be even. So that number mod 2 will equal zero (and return true).

How to error check string for LONG list of strings

Hi All,
Let's say I want to compare a string variable with a long list of strings to see if it matches anything in that list. Is there some built-in function that will make this easy. Or should I do it the old fashioned way and load a string array with the list and then for loop through the array comparing each element?
Cheers,

I'm alittle weak at using interfaces. If the string I am trying to compare is (String grade), then how do I define my List to be ("A+", "A", "A-", "B+", "B", "B-", "C+", "C", .....). This is as far as I've got:
String grade = 'some letter to be compared'
String [] GradeList = new String [] {"A+", "A", "A-", "B+", "B", "B-", "C+", "C", .....};Maybe I could summarize what I meant using your example:
Set<String> PossibleGrades = new HashSet();
PossibleGrades.add("A+");
PossibleGrades.add("C");
String grade = "some letter to be compared";
if(PossibleGrades.contains(grade) )

Kindly help as i have to generate the same as early as possible.

Alpha Numeric - GL account numbering

Hi
Our client is going for alpha numeric GL accounts. FS00 will allow creating alpha numeric GL accounts. But i wanted to what may be problem in future?
I want to know will any account determination settings like OBYC (FI - MM Settings), VKOA (FI - SD settings), AO90 - Asset accounting GL determination or any other FI process will give problem at the time of configurations or in future?.
Please help me on this. What can be the points on the basis of which i can tell client that they should go for NUMERIC GL accounts only and not Alpha Numeric.

No other feedback ?
Avoid using alpha characters – they will create problems in sequencing
and sorting data in reports, assigning codes, using ranges, and when
creating validation and/or security rules”
What does security rules in this context ?

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Removing non-alpha-numeric characters from a string

How can I remove all non-alpha-numeric characters from a string? (i.e. only alpha-numerics should remain in the string).

Or even without a loop ?
Extract from the help for the Search and Replace String function :
Right-click the Search and Replace String function and select Regular Expression from the shortcut menu to configure the function for advanced regular expression searches and partial match substitution in the replacement string.
Extract from the for the advanced search options :
[a-zA-Z0-9] matches any lowercase or uppercase letter or any digit. You also can use a character class to match any character not in a given set by adding a caret (^) to the beginning of the class. For example [^a-zA-Z0-9] matches any character that is not a lowercase or uppercase letter and also not a digit.

Hi,
System will not bring alphanumeric number of materials automatically during MM01.
Check use exit MGA00002 - Material Master (Industry): Number Assignment.
Also check 2 Function Modules:
EXIT_SAPLMG02_001 - Customer Exit: Internal Material Number Assignment
EXIT_SAPLMG02_002 - Customer Exit: External Material Number Assignment.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

Better you can use Numeric only....
see the sap help
External intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between platforms (Code page):
