Find / replace multiple items in one query

Hello,
I need to find and replace several bits of code in dozens of
files in Dreamweaver CS3. I know how to find/replace for one item
at a time using regular expressions. Is there a way to find and
replace more than one item at at time with regular expressions? I
know I can save and then load previous searches, but that's
tedious. I'd like to load and then execute more
Thanks very much for any advice.

This is in fact the only solution I found to this problem.
Creating an extension is not that difficult once you have the right
reference material.
Have a look at:
DW API function to find and replace

As far as i know, no it's not possible.
There has been mentions in the past to this question that a
series of
find/replace queries could be built as a dw extension instead
of a saved
search query.

Replacenocase - Replacing multiple items in one go?

I've searched around and can't seem to find anything, but thought I'd post just incase somebody had an answer to this.
I have a string that I need to use replacenocase on to replace several fields, as an example
myoriginalstring="abc#first#-#second#"
What I want todo is look for the instance of #first# in the string (I know I need to double up on the # to ##) with a value of 99, and then also replace any instance of #second# with 88.
The question is, do I ahve to run two replacenocase statements, replacing one first, then taking the new string and running it again?
I have about 5 different things to search for in the string, and right now I have five statements.
Is there a better way so that it can be done in one statement?
Thanks
Mark

Well, there's no nocase version of it, but there is a replaceList() function which'll go some way towards sorting your problem out.

I recommend having a scan through all the functions CFML has... don't try to memorise them all or all the minutiae of them, but at least eyeball them so you get an idea of what 's possible. And the best way to search the docs is to get Google to do it for you. If you searched on "site:help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/ replace" replaceList() is the fourth match...

Find and replace an item in one column only

I have tried and tried and I cannot work out how to find and replace an item in one column only.
For example one column has a letter followed by a number which varies in length.
I want to find and repace the letters with nothing leaving the numbers only.
But when I try to do this all the letters in the spreadheet are replaced, not just in the column I have selected.
Help please....

Hi 8'
Use a formula.
Insert a (temporary) auxiliary column to the right of the one for which you want to male the changes.
Assuming you description is accurate—every entry in the column consists of a letter followed immediately by a number of one or more digits—the problen could also be stated as "How do I strip the first character from a string?"
Here's a sample. Letter followed by number in column B; number part without leading letter i column C:
Formula:
C2, and filled down to end of column: =RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-1)
When the formula has done its work:
Select all of column C (except the ehader row cell), and Copy.
Select cell B2, and go Edit > Paste Values.
Select column C again and go Table (menu) > Delete column.

Deleting multiple items in one click

Hi Guys
My iTunes has been reset and has for some reason added all the songs on my computer twice = about 120GB when it should only be 60GB.
I'm sure there used to be a way to delete multiple items in one click but the only way I can seem to do it is by doing it individually after click view duplicates, this clearly isn't practical for over 5500 songs.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the answer.
If I understand it correct, If I have an invoice of 10+ items, there is no possibility to delete 5 items for example with one click?
I have to the delete the 5 items one by one or delete the whole invoice and start again?
Thanks.

Find/Replace - multiple replace ... maybe with regex

Hello Dreamweaver community ... I'm relatively new to using Dreamweaver as an editor and I'm working on a large migration project that I'm trying to make easier. Basically, I'm converting an entire site from English to Spanish ... almost literally tag by tag
Something that would make my job a lot easier is if ... every time I open a new Spanish language content file I could ...
replace ALL Spanish language grammar symbols, accents, tildes etc ... with their HTML equivalents ... for example ...
á = á
é = é
í = í
And so on ... there's about 10-12 major changes ...
What I need to figure out is how to save a find/replace query in Dreamweaver .dwr format that replaces all symbols at once instead of needing to do them one at a time ...
Seems like this shoudl be possible but I haven't figured out the right syntax ... I used the (.+) and $1 but it only worked conditionally - in the order the replacements were written. I need it to find ALL instances of a spanish symbol and replace it with its corresponding html ...
Can anyone help me with this ...?
Thank you in advance ...

This is in fact the only solution I found to this problem.

Update multiple UDF from one query generator

Hi All,
I have Form1 with multiple UDF1 which have been key in by users
And another Form2 with multiple UDF2 which exactly same with Form1 UDF1
Is there a way that I can copy multiple UDF at Form2UDF2 from Form1UDF1 instead of creating query for each individual UDF, where in query generator I can select more the one column but only first column will be insert to the single UDF.
Thanks

Hi Firos,
I mean I have 7UDF in the Payment Form where the information to this UDF are come from 7UDF in the invoice form which already created previously so I would like to copy those UDF from invoice to UDF in payment by using single query to capture all the UDF information by doing:
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[UDF1], T0.[UDF2], T0.[UDF3], T0.[UDF4], T0.[UDF5], T0.[UDF6], T0.[UDF7]
FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[ORCT.CardCode]
From above query can I pass the result directly to UDF in Payment Form? or I need to create one query for each individual UDF.
Thanks

Easy one (?) - multiple results in one query

Hi,
I am trying to return multiple (say, 2) columns, each column containing the result of one query; executed in one statement.
Basically the following set of subqueries is working, but I would like to know if there is an easier, less cumbersome way?
select
(select count(field1) from table1) as count1,
(select count(field2) from table2) as count2
from dual
I tried the UNION ALL but it returns multiple rows.
Ah well, it works but the 'from dual' seems a little odd to me.
Cheers.

thanks - I just looked at the 'from dual', and wondered if I would really need to make it a subquery.
Ah well, thanks for the reply.

Adding multiple items against one service call

You can add only one item (to be specific only one Serial Number ) in one Service Contract.

Multiple charts with one Query - how to?

Hi Experts,
I wanted to display mulitple charts from the one query in Bex analyzer or WAD. Each chart should be constructed from the data of each column returned from the query. So if the no. of columns in the query is 5 then there should be 5 charts generated. No of columns will be variable. How to achieve it ?? Any idea?
All kinds of suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Regards
AB

Hi Priya,
Thanks for your response. Actually the infomation is of technical in nature. Its about processes and the parts. Rows represents parts and columns represent processes. The processes are variable and can be added any time in query.Based on the Query there should be automation of charts. So there is an analysis per process/parts with a single chart. So if the processes are increasing , the automation should also add a chart....thats what the requirement says. So if I have 10 process that I shd get 10 charts and if 15 afterwards then 15....
I hope now its clear to you.Do suggest if u have any idea.

Need to pull ranked item from one query into new query

Hi,
I have a parent query in which I assign a rank to characteristic values based on a key figure, in dollars. I need to pull the top 4 items from that parent query into 4 seperate child queries (i.e. child query 1 is written based on ranked item 1, child query 2 is written based on ranked item 2, etc.) Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this?
Thanks
CM

Creating multiple reports from one query

Hello Everyone
I are designing crystal reports where 1 query is built for 1 report / 1 sub-report. To improve overall efficiency of reports, I am trying to design multiple reports/ subreports from the same query. All the sub-reports belong to the parent report and they are very similar to each other.
For example: in Webintelligence, we can just create 1 data provider and pull multiple reports from it and display it in multiple tabs.
Can we do the same thing in Crystal reports??
Please advice.
Thanks

Hello,
If you are using WEBI then you have access to BOE. Create a Universe and publish it to the Repository and then you can use it as your data source.
But I think what you are asking is how to query the DB once? Not possible, each subreport will run the query each time it's viewed.
What you may want to do is create a Stored Procedure and get all of you info into one data collection and not use subreports, use grouping to emulate subreports. As an Example ....
You may want to create a case in Service Market Place since you have BOE and work with a Report Design Rep to help you work out the best solution for you.
Thank you

How to update multiple rows in one query using php

i am new to this can any one help me how to update multiple rows at a time i am doing an school attendance page

Often the situation is such that you have multiple courses across a range of dates.So students may take more than one course, and you need to track attendance for each course date. The following graphic demonstrates this:
In such a situation, you need four database tables as follows:
students (student_id, student_name, etc.)
courses (course_id, course_name, etc.)
students_courses (student_id, course_id)
attendance (student_id, course_id, dater)
A fifth table may also be needed to define the dates of courses, but you may also be able to build this array programmatically by using PHP's robust date functions, which can give you, for instance, all the Tuesdays and Thursdays between a start date and end date.
The students_courses table simply keeps track of which students are taking which courses, so it has just two columns for the primary keys of both of the main tables. The attendance table is similar, but it also includes a date field. The following view of the attendance table demonstrates this:
So if David's solution does cover your needs, consider yourself lucky, because this could quickly grow from a beginner-appropriate project to a moderately advanced one.

Search for multiple items in one text field

Hi all,
I am new to ApEx, I have a request from one of our users to ask if there is a way we can allow them to enter more than one search items delimited by a comma. For instance, we have a text item field for user to enter some values as emp names, when he key in like PETER,SMITH,ALLEN,WARD, once he submit the page he will see the result as:
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from scott.emp t
where t.ename in('PETER','SMITH','ALLEN','WARD')
Many thanks.

You can create a multiselect list named P1_REPORT_SEARCH based on a List of Values (LOV) with those employee names and use this code.
select t.empno, t.ename, t.job, t.mgr, t.hiredate, t.sal
from emp t
where
(instr(':'||:P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||':',':'||ENAME||':') > 0 or :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is null) /**for multiselect**/
)
