Checking the string

How to check the presence of numerals in a String?

also, you can use regular expressions... but I would suspect checking each char might be faster.

What checks the String pool

Hi there.
With regard to the string pool,
my book states that whenever the compiler
encounters a string literal that it will check the pool to see if
there is a matching string...
This doesn't seem right to me.
I would have imagined that the JVM would perform this operation at runtime.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I googled it and I came across some sites that indicate that
the JVM checks the string pool.
Im just wondering which is it, the JVM or the compiler.
Thanks & regards.

String s1 = "abc";
String s2 = "abc";Compiler sees the first line, looks for "abc" in the class' constant pool, doesn't find it, adds it, places reference to its position for the assignment to s1.
Compiler sees the second line, looks for "abc", finds it, places reference to its position for the assignment to s2.
At runtime, when class is loaded, VM loads class' String constant pool. When time comes to execute the above lines, the bytecode tells it which constant pool entry to reference.Great answer (No, I'm not sarcastic)

To check the string for a particular character

i want to check the string contains ',' (comma) or not. can anyone help me?

i want to check the string contains ',' (comma) or
not. can anyone help me?you can use 'indexOf' method at string object
String s1 = "test,tet1";
boolean bfind = s1.indexOf(',') > -1 or

Need reg_exp for checking the string contains only alphanumeric or not

Dear All,
I need to check the given string in if condtion contains only the alphanumeric or not pls help me..
like
if reg_exp then
end if;
thanks,
Oracle

Hi,
REGEXP_LIKE ( str
            , '[^[:alnum:]]'
            )returns TRUE if the string str contains any character other than an alphanumeric.
You can use this wherever conditions are allowed, such as a WHERE clause or a CASE expression. For example:
SELECT     str
.     CASE
         WHEN REGEXP_LIKE ( str
                     , '[^[:alnum:]]'
         THEN 'Contains speace, punctuation or special symbol'
         ELSE 'Okay'
     END               AS is_alnum
FROM     table_x
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Match the string for a particular format

i want to chek the string for a particular format..
lets say for ex ,

that means my string exactly contains 6 alphabets from a to z and one number from 0 to 9
like this i want to check for two more fromats..they are..

How does the String class achieve this.

How come we can do the following with the String class:
// The class is initialized using the equals sign!
String s = "Hello, World"";I am currently checking the string class but can not find what makes the above possible. could anyone help me?

ok sorry for not being so clear :)
When having a String class, we can initialize it by doing the following:
String myString = "Hello World"; Whis as JosAH explained it is handeled by the compiler. However my common sense tells me that the String class is nothing but a normal class (not like int, long, etc). So if it a normal class, then in that class there is a way to understand what = "somthing" means, and update it's state accordingly.
I would like to do the same think with my class. example:
Person MyPerson = "John, Smith";The above is a stupid example, however it gathers my point. The String class sess what is inside the quates and updates it state (with the help of the compiler). Can the Person class do the same? how?

How to check the current time with a Stored time in string format

Hi All
I would like to compare the system time with an existing time values which is allready there in String format..
i mean i would like to check if the SysTime is inbetween 6:30 and 14:00
I accomplished this in Oracle ..
Select 'Y' from dual where to_date(to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI '),'HH24:MI') between to_date('06:30','HH24:MI') and to_date('14:00','HH24:MI')
But instead of checking the DB each and every time , the perfomance would be better if we can do this in our java code..
Could some one provide me with a code to accomplish the above scenario..
Thanks in advance..,.,

import java.util.Calendar;
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); // gets the current date and time to millisec
Calendar earlyTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
Calendar lateTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
if (rightNow.compareTo(earlyTime)> 0 && rightNow.compareTo(lateTime) < 0){
// do something
}Try this.

How to check the occurrence of a character in a string

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario where in I have to check the occurrence of a character in a string and based on that I have to pass a data into target field.
I was wondering whether this can achieved with mapping functions or Do I have to use an UDF.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Advit Ramesh

Hi Advit,
You can achieve this by using standard function indexOf from the text category. Pass in the input string and the character value you want to check for as the input.
Standard Functions (SAP Library - SAP Exchange Infrastructure)
If the output is -1, then the character is not in the string, otherwise it is.

How to check the value of a string is numeric, alphanumeric or characters?

Hi All,
I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Bibhuprasad,
I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is
E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter
of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.Everyone else has proposed REGEXP_LIKE, and while it's very powerful, it is
also very CPU intensive. You should always use Oracle's string functions
instead of Regular Expressions if possible.
I played around with
WITH data
     AS (SELECT 'E11212' s FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT '121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'EE121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'É121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'E1EEEEEEEE' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'E134343444' FROM DUAL)
SELECT s,
CASE
    WHEN (SUBSTR(s, 1, 1) BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Z') -- AND (TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)), 999999) > 111111)
      THEN 'Correct Format'
    ELSE
      'Incorrect Format'
    END mySSN,
    SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)) AS theNumber
FROM data;I think that this can be worked so that it willl go what you require without using
REGEXP_LIKE.

Checking the length of a string in sapscript

Is there a way to check the length of a string in sapscript?
What I want to do is, if the length of two strings is greater than a certain ammount, truncate the string.
But I don't know if is possible inside the sapscript

Never mind, I did it with a perform instead

Can we get Arraylist from String.Please check the code

Hi all,
I have just pasted my code over here.Can anyone of you find the solution for obtaining the Array list from the String.
For Example :
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
al.add(new byte[2]);
al.add("2");
String stringVar = "" + (ArrayList) al;
Here I can convert the arraylist into string.But can we do he vice versa like obtaining the above arraylist from the string?If please advice me.
URGENT!!!!

cudIf you run the code you posted you will observe that the string form of the list does not contain all the information of the list: in particular the array elements are missing. It follows that the "vice versa" conversion you seek is simply not possible.
A variation on this theme is the following:import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ListEg {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.add("foo");
        al.add("bar, baz");
        String stringVar = "" + (ArrayList) al;
        System.out.println(stringVar);
}If you think about the output you should be able to conclude that lists with different contents can easily have the same string form.
Just something to chew on.

Check if a single Text Item in a cell is bold and then grab the string that is bold

I have written a script that runs through a table and parses out the information I need to create another table with some added information.
The last piece that I can't seem to figure out is how to check if some text in a cell is bold and then grab said text to put in the new table.
I will give a small table demo of what I am try to retrieve.
Table A.
Column 1
Description
123456
This is a description (This is a note)
789123
This is a description (This is note A) (This is note B) (This is more stuff that isn't needed.
Table B.
Column 1
Column 2
Note
1
123456
(This is a note)
2
789123
(This is note A) (This is note B)
I can pull all of the other information across that I am trying to get without any issue.
I can't seem to figure out how to check the formatting of a TextItem to see if it is bold. I have been able to figure out how to check if a cell has bold text in it. using if ((tItems[counterVar].idata & Constants.FTF_WEIGHT) > 0). This ends up not working well because of a few issues. I was wondering if there is any way to check the formatting of a single character?
I tried something similar to the following:
prop_Change = tbl_Description_Cell.GetText(Constants.FTI_CharPropsChange);
txt_String = tbl_Description_Cell.GetText(Constants.FTI_String);
if (prop_Change.len > 0)
        if((prop_Change[0].idata & Constants.FTF_WEIGHT) > 0)
                pOffset = prop_Change[0].offset;
                for (var tbl_tItems = 0; tbl_tItems < txt_String.len; tbl_tItems++)
                        tOffset = txt_String[tbl_tItems].offset
                        if(tOffset == pOffset)
                                alert(txt_String[tbl_tItems].sdata);
Thanks,
Steven

Depends on your forms-version. If you are using a web-based version, you could have a look at the Java-bean-editor FRITE, it supports such features.

How to check the source value is in between a string range in mapping

Hi Consultants,
I am working on IDOC to File scenario. I need to implement a specific requirement of our client. i.e. something like below;
Vendor number can be any thing like 1AA000000 / 1AA000001/1AB000000/... ect till 1ZZ999999.
if the vendor number is in between 1AA000000 -1ZZ999999 then the target value should assign as 'Internal' else should assing as 'External'.
How to compare that the value of vendor is in between IAA000000 to 1ZZ999999 in mapping?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nausheen

You can try creating an UDF and using the varName.substring(); method. Then you can compare in separated pieces the string. For example
String var = "1AA000000";
if (var.substring(3).compareTo("000000") < 0 && var.substring(3).compareTo("999999") > 0)
//compare now the "AA" and "ZZ" with the same logic;
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#substring(int, int)
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#compareTo(java.lang.Object)
EDIT: Moreover, those functions are available in the Mapping program creation, but this should give a clue on the order it should be done.

How to Handle the Strings more than 4000 characters in OBIEE 11g

Hi Folks,
I have a derived column in RPD where there are like bunch of case statements which involve the columns from 2 or more dimensions. Now I am getting an error ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long at OCI call OCIStmtFetch.
How can we handle this in OBIEE? I have tried the below option that is provided in the below link but I think this work only if it is a single column but in my case it is derived column.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bharath

Bharath,
Can you try using CLOB function.Check the below URL.Not sure if it helps you.
