  • Strings with /' characters after return

    I use embedded procedures a fair bit in my database driven web sites programming, so I decided to pre-buld my queries to expedite and simplify the process.
    I wrote the following script:
    #!/usr/bin/python
    import MySQLdb
    from uid_gdbm import *
    proc_params = ('manage_codes','add',555,'Just a test') <-- test list
    def buildquery():
    items = len(proc_params)
    #print items
    prog_name = proc_params[0]
    args ="%("
    stgcount = ""
    for i in range(1, len(proc_params)-1):
    args += repr(proc_params[i])
    stgcount += "'%s'"
    for j in range (1, len(proc_params)-2):
    args += ","
    stgcount +=","
    myquery = "\"call " + prog_name + "(" + stgcount + "'%s'" + ")\" " + args + repr(proc_params[(items -1)]) + ")"
    print myquery < -- prints : "call manage_codes('%s','%s','%s')" %('add','555','Just a test')
    return myquer <-- but after retuning it I get :"call manage_codes(\'%s\',\'%s\',\'%s\')" %(\'add\',\'555\',\'Just a test\')
    as a result I get a MySQL error: ProgrammingError: (1064, 'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near \'"call manage_codes(\'%s\',\'%s\',\'%s\')" %(\'add\',\'555\',\'Just a test\')\' at line 1')
    Any ideas as to why this is  happening and more importantly how cay I get read of the \' escape characters?
    Thanks.

    Just put all the candidate characters in as a String constant, then pick them at random using Random.nextInt() and charAt()

  • Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

    I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

  • When accessing certain websites, I am met with a random string of characters in the browser window. What could be causing this?

    When trying to access certain websites, http://redditenhancementsuite.com/ or http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the- ... od#3293733 for example, all I get is a random string of characters in my browser window like the following:

    The characters change depending on the website. I've tried disabling all extensions and plugins, reinstalling firefox and reinstalling java to no avail. The issue seems to be isolated to firefox, chrome is able to display the webpages without a problem. The problem occures following a malware in infection which would redirect goolgle searches in firefox. It was dealt with using Malwarebytes Anti-malware and by removing some entries from C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

    Hi,
    I tried everything above but to no avail. Windows firewall seemed to be allowing Firefox through without it actually being in the exception list. However, I did remove Firefox but this time removing all profile data too. Reinstalling Firefox seemed to make the websites work. However I then restored my bookmarks, and suddenly the websites stopped functioning again, displaying the random string of characters. Could this be an issue with my bookmarks?

  • Owa_text.vc_arr: can't handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

    In the Oracel Web Application Server 4.0 documment, it says

    index by binary_integer.

    use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the multple line texts in my form.
    If the text length is less than 4000 characters, everything works

    less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error
    message:

    Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
    This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
    As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
    http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
    Hope this or folks from the other list can help.
    Mike.

    If the input string length is less than 4000 characters, everything works fine.However when the strings are longer than 4000 characters but less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error message:

    The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 field in Oracle 8i is 4000 bytes.

  • Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

    I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
    (This is in a Function.)
    Let's say ParmIn_Look_For has a value of 'black dog'. I want to see if
    ParmIn_Search_This_String has 'black dog' anywhere in it. But it gives an error
    Syntax error on command line.
    If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.
    Is there some way to put single quotes/double quotes around ParmIn_Look_For so this will
    look for 'black dog' ??
    Also: If I want to use the option of ignoring white space, is the last parm
    'ix' 'i,x' or what ?
    SELECT
    REGEXP_INSTR(ParmIn_Search_This_String,
    '('||ParmIn_Look_For||')+', 1, 1, 0, 'i')
    INTO Position_Found_In_String
    FROM DUAL;
    Thanks, Wayne

    Maybe something like this ?

    test@ORA10G> with t as (
      2    select 1 as num, 'this sentence has a black dog in it' as str from dual union all

  • How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

    In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
      Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
    Try
    If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
    Return “-“
    End If
    If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
    Return "-"
    End if
    Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
    Catch
    Return "-"
    End Try
    End Function
    I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
      =Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like: 
    -78.9473684210
    80
    300
    -100
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

    Hi AngP,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
    compared.
    To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
    BackgroundColor:
    =iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

    I was on this site searching for an answer to my problem, and you provided the solution for me with your response to the above.  However, my problem was a bit different.  I needed a way to format a 9-digit number string into a standard Social Security number format.  I used your formula from above, and WOW - it worked!  If I could award you double Forum Points, I would.  But, since I can't do that, I will just say thanks, and ask God to bless you profusely.

  • Replacing a special character in a string with another string

    Hi
    I need to replace a special character in a string with another string.
    Say there is a string -  "abc's def's are alphabets"
    and i need to replace all the ' (apostrophe) with &apos& ..which should look like as below
    "abc&apos&s def&apos&s are alphabets" .
    Kindly let me know how this requirement can be met.
    Regards
    Sukumari

    REPLACE
    Syntax Forms
    Pattern-based replacement
    1. REPLACE [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF]
    pattern
              IN [section_of] dobj WITH new
              [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
              [{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]
              [REPLACEMENT COUNT rcnt]
              { {[REPLACEMENT OFFSET roff]
                 [REPLACEMENT LENGTH rlen]}
              | [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }.
    Position-based replacement
    2. REPLACE SECTION [OFFSET off] [LENGTH len] OF dobj WITH new
                      [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].
    Effect
    This statement replaces characters or bytes of the variable dobj by characters or bytes of the data object new. Here, position-based and pattern-based replacement are possible.
    When the replacement is executed, an interim result without a length limit is implicitly generated and the interim result is transferred to the data object dobj. If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, the data is cut off on the right in the case of data objects of fixed length. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or hexadecimal zeroes. Data objects of variable length are adjusted. If data is cut off to the right when the interim result is assigned, sy-subrc is set to 2.
    In the case of character string processing, the closing spaces are taken into account for data objects dobj of fixed length; they are not taken into account in the case of new.
    System fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 The specified section or subsequence was replaced by the content of new and the result is available in full in dobj.
    2 The specified section or subsequence was replaced in dobj by the contents of new and the result of the replacement was cut off to the right.
    4 The subsequence in sub_string was not found in dobj in the pattern-based search.
    8 The data objects sub_string and new contain double-byte characters that cannot be interpreted.
    Note
    These forms of the statement REPLACE replace the following obsolete form:
    REPLACE sub_string WITH
    Syntax
    REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO dobj
            [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
            [LENGTH len].
    Extras:
    1. ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
    2. ... LENGTH len
    Effect
    This statement searches through a byte string or character string dobj for the subsequence specified in sub_string and replaces the first byte or character string in dobj that matches sub_string with the contents of the data object new.
    The memory areas of sub_string and new must not overlap, otherwise the result is undefined. If sub_string is an empty string, the point before the first character or byte of the search area is found and the content of new is inserted before the first character.
    During character string processing, the closing blank is considered for data objects dobj, sub_string and new of type c, d, n or t.
    System Fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 The subsequence in sub_string was replaced in the target field dobj with the content of new.
    4 The subsequence in sub_string could not be replaced in the target field dobj with the contents of new.
    Note
    This variant of the statement REPLACE will be replaced, beginning with Release 6.10, with a new variant.
    Addition 1
    ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
    Effect
    The optional addition IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE determines whether byte or character string processing will be executed. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is executed. Depending on the processing type, the data objects sub_string, new, and dobj must be byte or character type.
    Addition 2
    ... LENGTH len
    Effect
    If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all the data objects involved are evaluated in their entire length. If the addition LENGTH is specified, only the first len bytes or characters of sub_string are used for the search. For len, a data object of the type i is expected.
    If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length will be cut off to the right. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or with hexadecimal 0. Data objects of variable length are adapted.
    Example
    After the replacements, text1 contains the complete content "I should know that you know", while text2 has the cut-off content "I should know that".
    DATA:   text1      TYPE string       VALUE 'I know you know',
            text2(18)  TYPE c LENGTH 18  VALUE 'I know you know',
            sub_string TYPE string       VALUE 'know',
            new        TYPE string       VALUE 'should know that'.
    REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text1.
    REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text2.

  • How can I convert a double to string

    Hello,
    how can I convert a double value to a string value?
    Werner

    an other way: ;)
    double yourDouble;
    int intTmp;
    yourDouble = yourDouble * 100;
    yourDouble = yourDouble + 0.5;
    intTmp = yourDouble.intValue();
    yourDouble = intTmp;
    yourDouble = yourDouble / 100;you can write it some shorter...
    double yourDouble;
    int intTmp;
    yourDouble = yourDouble * 100 + 0.5;
    yourDouble = yourDouble.intValue() / 100;*100 moves the comma about two steps to the left.
    + 0.5 enables rounding!
    if your value is x.5 or larger you get x+1.?
    if its smaller than x.5 you get x.?
    by parsing the double value to an int the ? is cut.
    /100 moves the comma two steps back

  • Custom Table Currency field with 5 decimals

    Hello,
    I have created a custom table and it has a field for 'US Plan Cost'. The users wanted it with 5 Decimals. I have created a custom domain and custom data element of DEC Type with 5 Decimals.
    Domain: ZCOST: Data Type: DEC, No. of Characters: 11, Decimal Places: 5.
    However When I am trying to create entries in the table though, it's giving me error: Input must be in the format _____,_____,_____,_____~._____
    The entry that I am creating is: 1.23450.
    I dont know what went wrong? Can anybody please help me?
    Thanks Much.

    Are you doing this with SM30?  or from a program?  If a program, be sure your data value is precisely '1.23450'. It sounds like you're inputting something else...
    Or, post code?

    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?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    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.

    OS: Solaris 9

    There is an adobe distiller software that is configured and a java apps. There are postscript files that are being converted to .pdf format using the adobe distiller. Using the GUI (using the Exceed; for remote access), when they use GUI to convert the postscripts to pdf files, the long filenames have the corresponding characters for arabic reading purpose. This is OK.
    When we use the windows RUN to telnet the server and convert the postscripts to pdf, it gives a question marks characters in the filenames ( this; is a sample; filename; ?? ??? ??; right.pdf )
    We are not sure now if we have to add a package of arabic or a patch to resolve this problem.

    Solution found, I'll post the work around to those who might encounter the same problem.
    Somewhere in the layers of technology (webwork or weblogic I'd guess), the servlet response is encoded into UTF-8 regardless. The encoding in the database was ISO-8859-1. Sending ISO encoded bytes by UTF-8 caused the conflicting character codes (anything above 127) to show up as undefined.
    The fix is to decode the input byte array into ISO-8859 string, then encode that string into UTF-8, which can be send by Weblogic.
    isoConvert = new String(buf, "ISO-8859-1");
    out.write(isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8"), 0, isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8").length);
