Count of elements in pipe delimited string

Hi,
Is there a way to count the number of elements produced by LISTAGG?
For instance, if LISTAGG produces:
Jan, Feb, Mar: output should be 3
Jan, Mar, Apr, Dec: output should be 4

LISTAGG is causing the confusion; I updated thread title and removed it.
Here is an example:
create table tmp_table (
delim_str varchar2(100 byte)
insert into tmp_table values ('Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr');
insert into tmp_table values ('Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May');
insert into tmp_table values ('Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|June');
insert into tmp_table values ('Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|June|July');
Commit;
Desired Output
Num_of_months
Delimited_Months
4
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr
5
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May
6
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|June
7
Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|June|July

How to Identify the count , If multiple parameters are passed using Pipe Delimited string

Hi,
We are passing Pipe delimited string to the parameter and I want to know how many values we are passing to the parameter.
Here is the example
Parameter.Grant: 24|34|54|67
I am using below expression, but it is not giving the right values. Please let me know if I am missing anything or is it possible.
=iif(parameters!Grant.Count>1,"Multiple value selected",parameters!Grant.Value)

Hi NaveenCR,
According to your description, you used pipe delimited multi-value parameter in the report, you want to know how many values passed to the parameter. If that is the case, please refer to the following steps:
In Design view, click Text Box in the Toolbox.
On the design surface, click and then drag a box to the desired size of the text box.
Right-click inside of the text box, then click Expression.
In Expression text box, type the expression like below:
=iif(split(Parameters! Grant.Value,"|").Length>1," Multiple value selected",Parameters!Grant.Value)
The following screenshots are for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Converting Delimited string to XML message

Hi,
We are trying to convert pipe delimited string into a xml schema using a XSD and BPEL funtion. Consider a scenario in which message has 5 fields with last as 2 optional fields. So the incoming string message can be like "1|2|3" or "1|2|3|4|5". In this case how the XSD should look like, since for each field we have to give "terminatedby" option in the XSD. So the issue is coming for element 3 where the delimiter can be "|" or "eol" (end of line). How to specify that ? Is there any option to use like "optionally terminated by?"
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can use below XSD for input file of kind
1|2|3
1|2|3|4|5
1|2|3|4
1|2|3|4|5|6

But in your case if you are getting 5 elements instead of 3 elements in some other file....Use the same and maipulate the last element afterwards.
I think we can not have an element definition for two scenarios.
Update you if i get any..

How to convert a delimited string to XML?

Hi there,
Please help me to convert a pipe delimited string into XML, e.g.
string -------SubName:abc|SuvValue:123|
required XML:
<ROWS>
<ROW>
<SubName>abc</SubName>
<SubValue>123</SubValue>
</ROW>
</ROWS>
or
string -------abc|123|
required XML:
<ROWS>
<ROW>
<SubName>abc</SubName>
<SubValue>123</SubValue>
</ROW>
</ROWS>
-----i am trying to first parse the string into a table type and then using the DBMS_XMLGen.getXML function but unable to get values from table type...
any prompt response is highly appriciated...
Regards, Hassan

Hi Hassan,
If your version supports it (ie 10gR2 and upwards), you can use XQuery to directly parse the string and generate the XML :
SQL> SELECT XMLQuery(
2   '<ROWS>
3    <ROW> {
4     for $i in ora:tokenize($str,"\|")
5     return
6      if ($i) then element {substring-before($i,":")} {substring-after($i,":")}
7      else ()
8   } </ROW>
9   </ROWS>'
10   passing sys_xmlgen('SubName:abc|SubValue:123|') as "str"
11   returning content
12 ).getClobVal()
13 FROM dual;
XMLQUERY('<ROWS><ROW>{FOR$IINO
<ROWS><ROW><SubName>abc</SubName><SubValue>123</SubValue></ROW></ROWS>
Each element is built based on its name from the input string.

Hi Should,
          I think the below code should solve your problem as i also had a similar type of requirement and this was the code i had used in my program.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> TYPE ANY.
DATA: L_FLINE TYPE STRING.
Open file for output
M_CHECK_SELSCR_FNMS O1 O.
LOOP AT I_TARGET.

    DO.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE I_TARGET TO <FS>.
      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        IF SY-INDEX EQ 1.
          MOVE <FS> TO L_FLINE.
        ELSEIF <FS> NE C_PIPE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE C_PIPE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ELSE.
          CONCATENATE L_FLINE <FS> INTO L_FLINE.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        TRANSFER L_FLINE TO W_SRVR_NM_O_O1.

Extract data from Pipe Delimited file

Hi everybody,
Could someone provide me the command to extract data from a pipe delimited file ("|") using Open/Read Data set.
I mean eliminating the delimiter ("|") and just picking the data.
Thanks

Here you go.. this code snippet parses the input file record by using pipe (variable lv_pipe) as separator, for tab separated file you can use lv_tab like wise...

         END OF ts_field,
         tt_field TYPE TABLE OF ts_field.

        ls_field TYPE ts_field,
        lt_field_tab TYPE tt_field,
        lv_field_index TYPE syindex,
        lv_record_no TYPE syindex.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE ANY.
OPEN DATASET fv_file_path IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
      lv_record_no = lv_record_no + 1.
      READ DATASET fv_file_path INTO ls_record.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        SPLIT ls_record AT lv_pipe INTO TABLE lt_field_tab.
        CLEAR: lv_field_index, ls_input_data.
        LOOP AT lt_field_tab INTO ls_field.
          lv_field_index = lv_field_index + 1.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT lv_field_index OF STRUCTURE
            ls_input_data TO <fs_field>.

READ THE PIPE DELIMITER FILE

Hi guys,
I am uploading the data from a file which is in the application server and in pipe delimiter format.
This file in the format like .... let us take 100 records among those one record is header, 98 data records and one trailer record. These are seperated by the record locater like header with 0, data record with 1 and trailer with 9.
So what i am doing is uploading that file first of all into one internal table I_ARFILE, then splitting the data at pipe into 3 different internal tables. In the mean time I am doing the validations also for the number of records...
like there should not be more than one header, and one trailer........

In this code something wrong like....
I have to modify this code so that i can split the file based on the record indicator to different internal tables.
if you see my code I am going wrong after i split the data into header internal table... did the validations then I put the else condition and split the same record again into 2nd internal table. But I have to take the second record once the first one is filled..........
Can any one guide me how to do that plz...... I am bit confused with this
SRI

Hi,
Please check , first you need to split the file and move header, item, trailer , then using these internal tables do your validations

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.
SQL> var s varchar2(100)
SQL> exec :s := 'Smith,Scott,Miller'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
SQL> select * from emp where ename in
2      (select upper(column_value) from table(tabstr(:s)));

How to change elements in ArrayList into String

Greetings,
i like to change elements in arrayList into string.
This is how i declare an ArrayList in a Java file
ArrayList listing = new ArrayList();below is just a simple example of how i insert the string into the arraylist
String concat = "';
concat = concat + "apple";
//Transfer the concat string into arraylist
listing.add(concat);
return listing;
{code}
On my Jsp page, it will receive the ArrayList from the java file. Lets say the Arrayist is pass into my JSP arraylist
This is my JSP arraylist
{code}ArrayList optLists = new ArrayList();{code}
Inside the arraylist element, it holds data eg: *308577;;RS | [CAT 2] Level: Arena, Section: A02* with a pipe between RS and CAT 2.
Now i looping the arraylist
{code}int a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ splitTemp);
     {code}}
Heres the error:
*SeatAvailable_jsp.java:560: incompatible types*
    *[javac] found   : java.lang.String[]*
    *[javac] required: java.lang.String*
    *[javac]             splitTemp = tempString.split("|");*
    *[javac]*
What can i do to solve the problem?

paternostro is right, you are returning an array into a string which is wrong
but try this, i haven't tested it though..
nt a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          String[] splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          for(String xyz : splitTemp)
               System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ xyz);

Pipe Delimited file with comma

Hi Guys,
I have a pipe '|' delimited csv file. One of the field contains ',' (comma) for few records. The data loads fine uptill the PSA but when I load the data in the cube, that field is coming empty as well as some other feilds which donot have a comma in it.
The delmiter in IP and DS is used '|' pipe.

A pipe within quotes? I don't think you can do that with regex. But you can simply itearate through the chars of the String with an "isInsideQuotes" boolean flag and do a manual replacement using StringBuffer.

Dynamic Extract. Do Not Want Leading Zeros in Pipe Delimited Record

Greetings,
I am using the following code to create a pipe delimited extract file dynamically. The problem: leading zeros are being lost. For example, when I do an extract of BKPF, BELNR is appended to the extract without leading zeros. This is a problem. Any suggestions for resolving this?
    DATA: lv_dref    TYPE REF TO data,
          lv_dref2   TYPE REF TO data,
          lv_data    TYPE ty_data,
          ls_data    TYPE ty_data,
          oref       TYPE REF TO cx_root,
          text       TYPE string.
    CREATE DATA lv_dref TYPE (p_tab-low).
    ASSIGN lv_dref->* TO <lfs>.
    CREATE DATA lv_dref2 TYPE TABLE OF (p_tab-low).
    ASSIGN lv_dref2->* TO <lft_main>.
    CLEAR ds_clauses.
    MOVE p_tab-low TO ds_clauses-tablename.
    READ TABLE twhere WITH KEY ds_clauses-tablename
                      INTO ds_clauses.
    TRY.
        SELECT * FROM (p_tab-low) INTO TABLE <lft_main>
                WHERE (ds_clauses-where_tab).
      CATCH cx_sy_dynamic_osql_semantics INTO oref.
        text = oref->get_text( ).
    ENDTRY.
    cv_subrc = sy-subrc.
    gv_tot_cnt = gv_suc_cnt = sy-dbcnt.
    CHECK gv_tot_cnt > 0.
    LOOP AT <lft_main> ASSIGNING <lfs>.
      CLEAR: ls_data.
      DO.
        ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <lfs> TO <lfv>.
        IF sy-subrc IS NOT INITIAL.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
        WRITE: <lfv> TO lv_data.
        IF ls_data IS NOT INITIAL.
*LEADING ZEROS ARE LOST HERE (at conatenate)
          CONCATENATE ls_data lv_data INTO ls_data
                                      SEPARATED BY '|'.
        ELSE.
          ls_data = lv_data.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
      APPEND ls_data TO ct_data.
    ENDLOOP.
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jason

You are losing it because of the write statement, change it to a move. I assume you are using the WRITE to put the correct formatting for a date field or a type P field, if that is the case, you can try to check which field is being written at the time by check sy-index or checking the type at runtime.
*WRITE: <lfv> TO lv_data.
move <lfv> to lv_data.
        IF ls_data IS NOT INITIAL.
*LEADING ZEROS ARE LOST HERE (at conatenate)
          CONCATENATE ls_data lv_data INTO ls_data
                                      SEPARATED BY '|'.
        ELSE.
          ls_data = lv_data.
        ENDIF.

Java Regex Pipe Delimited ?

Hello
I am trying to split the string which is pipe delimited. I am new to Regex and new to Java.
My Java/Regex code line to split is:
listColumns = aLine.split("\\|"); // my code has 2 backslash-escapes chars plus 1 pipe char but this forum does not allow me to put pipes or escapes correctly and plain text help is of NO HELP 8^(
My input string has 3 leading and 4 trailing pipe characters
My Output from split: (3 leading emptry strings work but 4 trailing pipe delimiters dont work)
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[]
SplitStrings2:[col1]
SplitStrings2:[col3]
SplitStrings2:[col4]
I do get 3 empty strings for all 3 leading pipes but no empty strings for the any traling 4 pipe characters.
What do I need to change the code such that all repeated pipes resulted in same number of empty strings returned by split method?
thanks
YuriB

1. The pipe is a meta-character so escape it.
2. Split rolls things up for you unless you tell it otherwise.
String s = "|||A|B|C||||";
String[] array = s.split("[|]", 10);
for(int i=0; i < array.length; i++)
System.out.println("" + i + ": " + array);
