Copying a Substring

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to copy a substring from a string.
For example, If I wanted to cut the domain name from the following string is my only option to repeat through each character of the origional string and construct a new string with only the parts I want?
http://developer.apple.com/documentation
I've not be able to find and AppleScript version of, SubSting, Trim or Cat. Is there such a thing?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Everyone,
Don't worry I figured out a suitable solution.

i did not go thro the full code.. but line 56 is the while condition.
if(copy[0]==null) System.out.println();
while(copy[0].charAt(end)!=',');
               end++;you are doing a sys out if copy[0] is null.. but the while condition says copy[0].xxx()! if copy[0] (whatever it may be) is null, you will get a new line printed and after that it will thro NPE.. may be there is an else clause?? just wondering what could be the reason behind such a code flow.. if (null) sys out; null.doStuff(); what else do you expect to happen if the IF condition succeeds?

Translation Rule

Hello,
Does any one know what is the meaning of the kewyword "&" in the rule 1 /^.*/ /0&/
thanks

Patricio,
Hmm that's a weird one unless I did something wrong but it looks like that translates to 0. Run the "Test voice translation-rule" command to verify.
Ignored: ^.* None or more digits from the beginning of number
=
0
and
Either "&" or "\0" for copying the substring matched by the match pattern, which equals nothing in your scenario since you don't have a substring.

Effective way to copy substring without generating garbage

Hi,
I am trying to copy portion of STRING1 to STRINGBUFFER1.
STRINGBUFFER.append(STRING1.substring(from_index, to_index));
However, above method generates a String object, then copy its content to STRINGBUFFER, creating garbage.
Is there some way to do this without generating garbage? Of course, I know I can create a loop and copy one character at a time, but I am afraid that will be slow for huge strings. Thank you in advance.

Using bothe StringBuilder and StringBuffer there are multiple ways to do what you want.
Look at the API.
There are methods for appending char arrays or ranges of CharSequences to a StringBuffer.I am sorry I should have mentioned that I am using J2ME, not J2SE. I looked at the API, but could not find anything.
And yes, I am trying to avoid garbage as much as possible, because this code gets called quite often.
Thank you for feedback everyone. I'm still lost with this.

Item Conversion Template Issue for Oracle Migration - Copy functionality

Hi,
I am working on Migration project which is from Radius ERP to Oracle 11.5.10.2.
Currently working on Item Conversion. This Item conversion having the fileds like (ORGANIZATION_ID,SEGMENT1,DESCRIPTION,ITEM_TYPE,COST_OF_SALES_ACCOUNT,SALES_ACCOUNT,ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY,ATTRIBUTE1,ATTRIBUTE2,ATTRIBUTE3,ATTRIBUTE4,ATTRIBUTE5,ATTRIBUTE6,ATTRIBUTE7,ATTRIBUTE8,ATTRIBUTE9,ATTRIBUTE10,ATTRIBUTE11,ATTRIBUTE12,ATTRIBUTE13,ATTRIBUTE14,ATTRIBUTE15,GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE10,REF_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID,REF_ORGANIZATION_ID).
I have validated those fields and loaded into interfacing to Oracle Successfully in the master Org and Validated through Frontend.
when I close the form, I will be receiving the below warning message and telling that Template id needs to be assign to the item before assigning item to the Org. The message is showing like
"*You have not applied a template to this item, please apply a template before assigning this item to an ORG.*"
Please find the below package which I wrote for this conversion requirement.
The customer is saying like need to achieve the copy functionality based on the "REF_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID and REF_ORGANIZATION_ID".
The Issue is am not able to handle the copy functionality and getting above message. kindly refer the package and suggest me where i am doing the mistake. Its high priority issue for me.
Thanks in advance.

How to find a substring in XML-lookslike string?

Hi,
I have a question and wondering if anyone can help me with it.
We have Java tool that does a string replacement inside another string (that is actually an XML request). It works fine when searching for a simple substring (that exists within 1 line of the XML string).
But when I'm trying to find and replace a substring that covers more then 1 line of XML request - it does not work. And I'm not sure what is wrong or (more importantly) how to make it work.
There is no return or new-line chars seen in the XML request.
To make it more clear - here is what I have and trying to do:
<a>
<a>
<b>
<c>
<d> </d>
<c>
<c>
</c>
</c>
</c>
</b>
</a>
</a>
If I'll seach for either <c> OR </c> OR <d> </d> it all works fine ... BUT if Itry to find
</c>

There is no way that I can understand what you meant in your first statement in terms of your second.
If there are no end of line characters at all then there is only one line. Period.
If there are end of line characters, of any kind, then that would really suggest the source of the problem.

Download doc problem when copied from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES to local table

Good morning!
As the subject indicatesm, I am experiencing problems downloading a document I have copied from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES to my local table FILE_SUBJECTS
and would be very grateful if someone could help.
Here is the problem:
I can successfully upload a document into APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and dowload it from there too.
I can copy the record from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES into my local table FILE_SUBJECTS and delete that entry from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES but I cannot download it from my local table, it keeps pointing me to a page which cannot be found, so I'm guessing there is something wrong with either, my INSERT INTO statement or, my link in the report.
My INSERT INTO statement is:
INSERT INTO file_subjects (id,filename,updated_by,updated_on,blob_content,mime_type)
SELECT id, filename, name, updated_by, updated_on,blob_content,mime_type
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
WHERE APEX_APPLICATION_FILES.filename = :P2_FILE_NAME;
REPORT LINK
I have tried just a normal column link in my report like: #ID# (this works when looking at APEX_APPLICATION_FILES)
but I have also tried the following:
#OWNER#.DOWNLOAD_MY_FILE?p_file=#ID#
where download_my_file is a procedure:
create or replace PROCEDURE "DOWNLOAD_MY_FILE" (p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
--apex_application.g_flow_id := 166;
--if not(APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.IS_SESSION_VALID) then
-- owa_util.status_line(404, 'Page Not Found', true);
-- return;
--end if;
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM FILE_SUBJECTS
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end DOWNLOAD_MY_FILE;
Many thanks in advance!

Sue,
If you are running XE or running with the EPG versus the http server, you need to grant access to the procedure you are using for it to be run properly..
You may need to look at this function, if you are using XE or have the EPG setup for your database.. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e12856/adm_wrkspc.htm#BABEFDHI [Look for the section called *Restricting Access to Oracle Application Express by Database Access Descriptor (DAD)*]
Thank you,

How could I copy contraints from one database to another?

Hi,
I have a specific problem.
I have taken a datadump and executed in another database. Some how the contraints were not copied.
So I created following script to genrated alter statement and then run the script in target database:
declare
cursor get_cons is
select distinct dc.table_name table_name, decode ( substr(dc.constraint_name,1,3), 'SYS', ' ', 'CONSTRAINT ' dc.constraint_name ) contraint, wmsys.wm_concat(ucc.column_name) over ( partition by dc.constraint_name order by dc.constraint_name ) cols
from user_constraints dc,
user_cons_columns ucc
where dc.table_name like '%'
and dc.constraint_type = 'P'
and dc.table_name = ucc.table_name
and dc.constraint_name = ucc.constraint_name;
lv_sql varchar2(2000);
begin
for i in get_cons
loop
lv_sql := 'ALTER TABLE '
I.TABLE_NAME
+' ADD ('+
i.contraint
+' PRIMARY KEY ( '+
I.COLS
+' )); ';+
dbms_output.put_line( lv_sql );
end loop;
end;
Is there a better way to do it?
Thank You,

How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
Type: string
List of Values: static
Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
(in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
"*Jones*"
after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Will

1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

Using DBMS_LOB.COPY - (ORA-22275)

Hi All,
I need to copy BLOB value from one table to another.
For that i am using DBMS_LOB.COPY.
I am not sure if this is the right approach. If not, can someone help me out.
Mentioned below is my sample procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INS_UPD_BLOB
i_ID number,
o_OutputStatus OUT NUMBER,
o_OutputMessage OUT VARCHAR2
as
v_blob_data_d blob;
v_blob_data_s blob;
amt INTEGER := 4000;
begin
select BLOB_DATA
into v_blob_data_d
from blob_test_dest -- My Destination Table
where id = i_ID
for update;
select BLOB_DATA
into v_blob_data_s
from blob_test -- My Source Table
where id = i_ID;
DBMS_LOB.COPY(v_blob_data_d, v_blob_data_s, amt);
o_OutputStatus := 0;
o_OutputMessage := 'SUCCESS';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
o_OutputStatus := -1;
o_OutputMessage := 'Procedure ins_upd_blob Failed at step no:- '||v_ErrorFlag|| ' SQL ERROR:- '||SUBSTR(SQLERRM,1,100);
END;
After execution i am getting following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: invalid LOB locator specified: ORA-22275
Thanks,
Srikanth

how about using merge instead of dbms_lob package?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INS_UPD_BLOB
i_ID number,
o_OutputStatus OUT NUMBER,
o_OutputMessage OUT VARCHAR2)
as
v_blob_data_d blob;
v_blob_data_s blob;
amt INTEGER := 4000;
begin
merge into blob_test_dest b1
using (select id, blob_data from blob_test) b2
on (b1.id = i_id and b1.id = b2.id)
when not matched then insert(b1.id, b1.blob_data) values(b2.id,b2.blob_data)
when matched then update set b1.blob_data = b2.blob_data;
END;

Can I search zip files for a particular substring in the name and extract the file to a folder?

I need to search through lots of zip files, looking for files starting with a particular string. Then extract them to any folder. Can I do this in CVI?
thanks

thanks Wolfgang, but my level of experience is such that I could use a bit more detail. Do you mean that I might find a .dll and call one of its functions from CVI? So you know of nothing in CVI that I can use directly? I don't think that I would want to open the zip, extract all the files, search the folder where they were extracted to, copy the file if it has the target name substring, then rezip. Or, maybe there is a more direct solution.
Any thoughts?
thanks

Is it possible to modify a text file whithout copying it in a new one?

Hi all,
In fact I'm trying to use a kind of ini file to configure an application. So I have first to get information in a file using the name of the file, the name of the section and the keyname of the value I want to get. For this no problem. But I just can't change the value. I've read a lot of threads, but whithout finding a solution.
Here is an example of the ini file:
[SECTION1]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=VALUE2
[SECTIONk]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=VALUE2
[SECTIONn]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=VALUE2
And here what I want to have next
[SECTION1]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=VALUE2
[SECTIONk]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=ANOTHERVALUE
[SECTIONn]
KEYWORD1=VALUE1
KEYWORD2=VALUE2
I read the file like this:
buffer = new BufferedReader (new FileReader(sourceFile));
Then I can modify buffer like this:
-I read a line (with buffer.readLine()) to obtain a string called oldString
-I convert it into a StringBuffer
-Next I use the replace method of StringBuffer class
-I can next have a String, I'll call it modifiedString
Now how can I place modifiedString in sourceFile at oldString's place. The only way I found to do this is to create a new file and to copy line after line all the lines from sourceFile, then to delete sourceFile and next to rename the new file in sourceFile. But I think that it's not really good and I'm sure that one (or more) of you has (have) already solve this problem with a better solution.
Thanks a lot.

Copy file in java

i copy a picture from one location to another using FileInpustStream method..
is there any better way to copy file faster, cause using this way takes way to much time to copy a picture file

Substring Location in String

I am having a problem using substring to select/filter. The substring selection is not holding to the specified locations in the string. Instead, it finds any matching text in the entire string.
For reference, my web site intent is,
1. A single XML master data base contains all photographs for display. My XML data set does not have quotes.
2. Spry tabbed panels are used to select galleries (Spry regions) (e.g. roses, Big Sur Coast, etc) from the master data base. There are a dozen galleries.
3. Thumbnails of a gallery are displayed in the content panel.
4. Selecting a thumbnail displays a large view of the selected photo in a separate div (Spry detail region).
The galleries are filtered using spry:test, with the "subject" variable compared against a specified value (i.e. rose, Monterey, Salinas, etc.).
The "2010 Photographs" gallery is determined by the year of the photo. In the "name" variable, the first 6 digits are the date (month, day, year). I've set up the spry:test with substring as follows,
spry:test="'substring({name},5,2)'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
This is to obtain the 5th and 6th locations of "name" variable and compare it with the "10 ".
A sample of the "photo" node follows,
<photo>

Both of these nodes would be selected with the "10 " criteria. However the second one is not from the year 2010.
The full source code is shown below.
My search of these forums and the Internet have indicated that this should work. Please explain what I am missing or doing incorrectly in the code.
I thank you.

I thank you but the change of the starting location did not correct the problem. I copied your script and pasted it into the source code but the results were the same set of thumbnails; several of the thumbnails are prior to (20)10.
In considering the results, I decided to try,
spry:test="'{name}'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
This filter gave the same result as,
spry:test="'substring({name},4,2)'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
I found out that the "4,2" arguments of substring should be "4,6". Each of these arguments are locations; other substring functions have location and length.
I updated the filter to,
spry:test="'substring({name},4,6)'.search ('10') != -1;"
The filter result was not changed. Are the location arguments being ignored or overwritten by a default setting? The symptom is that the first location is "0" and the second location is omitted.
I thank you for your help. This is rather fascinating!

Howdy,
When you take a closer look at your at your code you will notice that you actually wrapped the substring function inside a string. So you are actually performing a search on:
'substring(contents,4,6)'
So what i would suggest is to do:
spry:test="'{name}'.substring( 4,6 ).search( '10' ) != -1 "
And if that doesn't work, try to use a function::syntax instead, see API: function::<function name>

How to select multiple substring in JTextarea at the same time?

I want to select multiple substring in a jtextarea at the same time by select(start,end) method, turns out only the last substring is highlighted, how to implement my goal?
