Find Substring in String in Workflow

I'm trying to separate the content from GUID with metadata, but I can't find the Find Substring in String function in SharePoint Designer 2013 mentioned on
MSDN. Can anyone provide guidance? Thanks!

Its a not a function. It is workflow action under Actions menu in your SPD 2013.
You can find that action under the Utility Actions and make sure you have selected All Actions as show in the image above.

Finding substring from string.

I'll have to find substring from another string. Substring to find can be example: CVB and the string can be example ACHGVNB.
Give me some hints about what methods I should use.

Like this:public class Test {
    public static void main (String[] parameters) {
        String sub;
        String text;
        if (parameters.length == 2) {
            sub = parameters[0];
            text = parameters[1];
        } else {
            sub = "levi_h";
            text = "l e v i _ h";
        System.out.println (isSub (sub, text));
    private static boolean isSub (String sub, String text) {
        int s = 0;
        int t = 0;
        while ((s < sub.length ()) && (t < text.length ())) {
            if (sub.charAt (s) == text.charAt (t)) {
                s ++;
            t ++;
        return s == sub.length ();
}Kind regards,

To find substr within string

Hello,
I have a string (column is normal range) like 70 - 110 mg/dl.
I wanted to separate 70 and 110.
For 70 i am using like this
select substr(normal_range,1,instr(normal_range,'-')-1) from m_parameters where normal_range='70-110 mg/dL'. It works.
But how to get 110.
Some rows may also be 110-209 U/L without any space between '-'.I want a query which works for all conditions.
Conditions are.
1. 70 - 110 mg/dL
2. 70-110mg/dL
3. 70 -110mg/dL
4. 70- 110mg/dL
5. 70-110 mg/dL
thanks

Hi Swapna,
Using the old-fashioned SUBSTR and INSTR combination:

2 as
3 (
4 select '0.3 - 1.0 mg/dL' str from dual union all
5 select '70 - 110 mg/dL' str from dual union all
6 select '70-110mg/dL   ' str from dual union all
7 select '70 -110mg/dL ' str from dual union all
8 select '70- 110mg/dL ' str from dual union all
9 select '70-110 mg/dL ' str from dual
10 )
11 select trim(substr(str, 1, instr(str, '-') - 1)) num1,
12         trim(substr(str, instr(str, '-') + 1, instr(str, 'mg') - instr(str, '-') - 1 )) num2
13    from t;
NUM1            NUM2
0.3             1.0
70              110
70              110
70              110

Oracle Spatial function to find nearest line string based on lat/long

Hi,
Here is my scenario. I have a table that contains geometries of type line strings (the roadway network). The line geomteries are of type Ohio state plane south (SRID 41104).
I have a requirement - given a lat/long, find the line string that snaps to that lat/long or the nearest set of line strings within a distance of 0.02 miles.
This is a typical example of trying to identify a crash location on our roadway network. The crashes being reported to us in lat/long thru the GPS system.
How can i acheive this through any spatial functions?
Thanks for the help in advance.
thanx,
L.

Hi L,
That is not the way I would do it. I would convert my road segments to LRS data, then you can do all queries on the same data.
Or, if you do not want to modify your original data, create a copy of your road segments with the same ID's and convert the copy into LRS data. If you keep the ID's identical, you can easily use geometry from one and LRS data from the other - as long as you are sure the ID is the same.
Which will make the workflow a bit easier:
1. Use SDO_NN to get the closest segments
2. Use SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT to get the projected point
3. Use SDO_LRS.GET_MEASURE to get the measure
And most of these you can incorporate into one single query. Now I am writing this of the top of my head (It's been a while since I played with LRS). so this has not been tested, but something like this should work (but could probably be greatly improved - it's getting late for me :-) ):
SELECT
SDO_LRS.FIND_MEASURE --//find_measure needs an LRS segment and a point
    SELECT            --//here we select the LRS segment
      r.geometry
    FROM
      roadsegments r
    WHERE SDO_NN(r.geometry,    --//based on the given GPS point
                 sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL),
                 'sdo_num_res=2 distance=0.02 unit=mile') = 'TRUE'
SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT --//We project the point on the LRS segment
      SELECT         --//here we select the LRS segment (again, which could probably be improved!!)
        r.geometry
      FROM
        roadsegments r
      WHERE SDO_NN(r.geometry,
                   sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL),
                   'sdo_num_res=2 distance=0.02 unit=mile') = 'TRUE'
    sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL) --//The GPS point again
AS milemarker from dual;So it is not as complicated as you think, it can easily be done with just one query (SQL can do a lot more than you think ;-) ).
Good luck,
Stefan

How to find the last string value in dynamic object?

Hi All,
I am trying to find the last string value in dyanamic objects,Any one have solution for this.
Ex:
my data :12347-ebjdone-525-ecgfjf-25236-defdafgdeg
And i want to show the output is :defdafgdeg
Any ideas:
Thanks
Srini

For oracle try using oracle function.
e.g.
SELECT reverse(substr(reverse('12347-ebjdone-525-ecgfjf-25236-defdafgdeg'),1,instr(reverse('12347-ebjdone-525-ecgfjf-25236-defdafgdeg'),'-','1'))) from dual
Object definition might look like:
reverse(substr(reverse({ObjectName}),1,instr(reverse({ObjectsName}),'-','1')))

You can also run "bde_wf_item.sql" script.

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

How can I find out the strings that will be presented to the UI

Hi All,
I am working on a Swing based application (Swing based UI)
I am requested to do the following on the bytecode of that application:
I am supposed to find out what strings from within that bytecode will be presented to the UI and what will be used for an internal usage.
i have no way of running the application to verify that, i can only work on the static bytecode files.
hard question ha?
Thanks,
EItan.

You would of course have to run it. Either via a VM or recreating a VM yourself.
As an example of that how would you figure out what string occurs in the following (pseudo) code?
String msg = (cnt > 1) ? ("files=" + cnt) : ("file=" + cnt);
if (cnt > 1) DisplayMessage(msg);

Substring for Strings, what do I use for a int variable???

Hi!
substring for Strings...
String s1 = p.substring(1,2);
but what do I use for a int variable?
int i1 = integ."???????"(1,2);
/Henrik

why, you use maths of course!!
or if you're not up to that, try this:
int x = 931;
String s = x+"";
String res = s.substring(1, 2);
and of course set it back to an int
with Integer.parseInt(res);
