Get Variant Attribute Should Search for and return multiple values based on RegEx

I am using Variants as lookup tables (see this article):
Using Variant Attributes to Build a Dictionary or Look-up Table
I would like to be able to use some sort of wildcard to return multiple results from the Get Variant Attribute VI (all results are of the same type, and I don't know the exact names of all the results - those two points make this idea distinct from this idea: Set/Get Variant Attribute for Multiple Attributes).
Ideally the wildcard would be RegEx. If it were, the means by which you specify what to return is standardized.
In the above example, there would be some ambiguity in terms of whether or not you would want to return a result or an array of results given an input, and I doubt you could detect and assume RegEx is what the programmer desires to use. So I think this means a new input would be required to specify whether or not the "name" input of the Get Variant Attribute VI should be interpreted as a RegEx query.

Why RegEx? Why not SQL query? Why not filename wildcard matching?
I don't see anything that makes RegEx special. For this kind of functionality, the code that you've written seems like exactly the right way to do it rather than bolting a RegEx parser or any other system into the primitives or clouding the palette with a bunch of primitives to support various search functions. I could see a primitive that takes a VI refnum that has a conpane of string in/boolean out that you would pass in to supply the filter functionality that you want for any given application, but even that I'd lean toward just letting that be a library that someone writes on top of the primitives. Yes, there is some memory reduction that can be done if it is internal to the primitives, no question about that. But there are so many variations in how to do that filtration/sorting/etc that I'm not confident that any prim would cover a sufficient use case to be worth it. I could be wrong here ... let's see what other comments come in.

Search and return multiple value.

Hello!
I have a little problem that I need help with. It's a little complicated so bare with me.
I have multiple tables of Income for different people. The table is like this
Table Name: A's Income
Date ........ Amount
5/1/09 .... 5.55
5/3/09 .... 7.89
5/3/09 .... 8.90
5/7/09 .... 3.45
I created a new table to log down each day income across every person's table. So it's something like this
Table Name: Total Income by Date
Date ....... Amount
5/1/09 ... = Income of A + B + C, etc.
5/2/09 ... = " "
5/3/09 ... = etc.
5/4/09
5/5/09
5/6/09
5/7/09
So here's the formula for the Amount under the Total Income by Date table
=IF(Date = IFERROR(LOOKUP(Date, A's Income :: Date), 0), LOOKUP(Date,A's Income :: Date,A's Income :: Amount), 0)
That's only for one person (A) I would add the rest into the formula, but the problem is that if Person A has multiple income logged for the same date like the first table (5/3 - 7.89 & 5/3 - 8.90) the LOOKUP(Date,A's Income :: Date,A's Income :: Amount) only return the first value it finds. Is there a function or method I could do to return both value together? I tried SUMIF(A's Income :: Date, "= Date", A's Income :: Amount)
If there needs to be any clearing up please tell me.
Thanks a lot.

Wow thank you so much!! I never knew the answer was that simple. I thought that if we wanted to use SUMIF it would have to be SUMIF(A's income :: $A,"= A",A's income :: B). I never tried your solution. Thanks a lot again!
Can you explain a little bit more on your B ("Sum") Column? I'm still new to excel programs, why did you do =SUM(OFFSET($A$1,ROW()-1,2,1,COLUMNS(2:2)-2)), instead of something like SUM(C,D)?
Thanks

Search help to return multiple values

Hi all,
I've created a search help and I'd like it to return several values to different fields, I don't want these fields to be seen on the selection screen.
For example:
1. User clicks on search help for FIELD1 and selects a value from the pop-up box
2. Program populates FIELD1 depending on the user selection
3. Program also populates FIELD2 and FIELD3 which can be used in the program at a later date.
I can do 1 and 2 but I'm having an issue with 3. I've tried selecting all fields in the search help as Export, but although that populates the fields in the search help test facility, it doesn't know which fields I want it to populate in my program.
I've also tried using FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST but can only get this to return one line in table RETURN_TAB.
The screen fields are declared as:
PARAMETERS: FIELD1 LIKE TAB1-FIELD1 MATCHCODE ZSEARCH_HELP,
FIELD2 LIKE TAB1-FIELD2 NO-DISPLAY,
FIELD3 LIKE TAB1-FIELD3 NO-DISPLAY.
Any help is appreciated.
Gill

Thanks for your suggestion but what I failed to put in my original post was that FIELD1 is a description field and FIELD2 and FIELD3 are the actual key fields for the table which I need.
So, I can't do your suggestion of populating them based on FIELD1, I need to know which line the user selects to populate these key fields as FIELD1 may not be unique within the table.
Does that make sense?
That's why I wanted the search help to return all 3 values then I can populate FIELD2 and FIELD3 from that.

UPDATE statement based on query and return multiple value

Hi everybody,
I have two tables: temp3 and temp
One of them (temp3) should be updated based on the query where clause (id and flag columns).
I run this query but it updates all of the records in the temp3. I want to update only records with 'UPDATED' flag.
update temp3 t3
set (id,name,address) = (select t.id, t.name, t.address from temp t, temp3 t3
where t.id = t3.id and t.flag = 'UPDATED');
Does any body know how I can do it?
I appreciate your help
Thx

Hello
Basically you're missing a where clause on your update statement to restrict rows in t3 to the ones that have a corresponding row in t1.

Return multiple values from dynamic lov in apex 3.2.1

Hi
I need to create a dynamic lov that displays multiple values from a table and RETURNS multiple values into display only fields in a form page to be saved to the database
For example
dynamic list of value name SERVER
select name || ',' || life_cycle d, name r
from sserver
order by 1
This SERVER LOV is attached to the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form.
However this only returns sserver. name into the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form. I would need to capture the life_cycle field as well and populate the P4_LIFE_CYCLE field in the form as well. How does one do this?
I have searched this forum however could not find a thread that fit my situation. i saw that in 4.2 there is dynamic action however unable to upgrade at this moment.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thank you

Hi CRL,
One method is to set the value of your P4_LIFE_CYCLE item via APEX_UTIL.set_session_state
To do this you need to create a Page Process
Type PL/SQL anonymous block
Process Point On Load - Before Header
The source for the Process might look like this: DECLARE
   l_life_cycle   VARCHAR2 (50);
BEGIN
   SELECT life_cycle
     INTO l_life_cycle
     FROM sserver
    WHERE :p4_sserver_name = sserver.name;
   APEX_UTIL.set_session_state ('P4_LIFE_CYCLE', l_life_cycle);
END;Jeff

Any way to search for and get rid of duplicate songs?

Is there any way to recognize and then get rid of duplicate songs? I copied some songs from a different computer and ended up duplicating some of my existing songs. Any way to search for and then get rid of the duplicates?

The apple algorithm for detecting duplicates is not great. I did this yesterday on a library which had got bloated by various itunes 'organisations' and had 15000 songs in it and downloaded idupe. It seemed to work very well and got me down to 10,000 songs. 8USD shareware.

Is there a way to search for and install all uninstalled fonts? I'm getting bored of opening all the files up.

I've got a file of about 100 typefaces, which is 1000s of fonts. I want to install them all but I dont want to have to open each file and install them all individually (or in small groups).
So is there a way to search for and install ALL uninstalled fonts in one hit?
Cheers.

The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.

Pb with "Get Variant Attribute" LabVIEW 6

hello
I want to find the value corresponding to the variable name in a Variant structure. For this purpose I use the "Get Variant Attribute" function, but I do not get any good result : no result in the get value, and also when no string name input is given to get all the attribute of the variant.
where is the bug ?
thank you

Hi,
No bug, Get Variant Attribute returns values you've put in it using Set
Variant Attribute.
Unfortunately there is no way (I could think of) to get the text of a
variant out of the variant in string format.

Wiebe.

Get variant attribute

I m using LV 6.0.2, the function "get variant attribute" does not work. I
get nothing out of it: no error, no values.
Any idea?!
Actually I could need exactly the string that is shown in a variant
indicator/control.
e.g.:
'Cluster': cluster of 2 elements
'Array': 1-D array of
'Numeric': double
'Boolean': boolean
'Array' -> (2.000E+0, 2.000E+0)
'Boolean' -> FALSE
Has anybody an idea how I can get this as a string?
Thank You.

The reason you can't get an attrivute of the vairant is because your variant doesn't have any. Use "Set Variant Attribute" to add an attribute to your variant, and then you should be able to read it back later using the "Get Variant Attribute".

I want to input two values, AWG and mils and return the value in the Days column.
In the instance of what I am showing .... AWG=2 AND mils=320 so Soak=110 ....
I want to search the columns (AWG) AND (mils) to return a value in the column (Days) for that row into cell H10 (Soak) ...
So far I have toyed with LOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH ....

SCW,
I'm sure there is a clever way to cascade functions to avoid adding an auxiliary column in your practice table, but to me it wouldn't be worth the aggravation. I would add a column that concatenates Columns A & B, AWG & mils. This column can be anywhere and would be Hidden. Let's say your new column is Column N.
In Column N, fill the body rows with:
=A&"-"&B
As good Numbers programming form would indicate, let's name the Practice Table Practices and only put the practices in that table. In another table where you do the lookup, let's call it Program, we will have the calculation/lookup.
Based on your example, I'd guess that AWG may be in Column D and mils in Column E of your Program table, and the Soak lookup in Column F. If I'm wrong, adjust the column id.
In Column F, write:
=OFFSET(Practices::I$1,MATCH(D&"-"&E, Practices::N,0)−1, 0)
The hyphen in the concatenated representation of the combination of AWG and mils is just tp make it more readable.
As I'm sure you know, you could use other approaches, but since I had you put your aux column at the end of your Practices table, OFFSET with MATCH is a clean approach. INDEX could be used too.
Here's an illustration:

Jerry

Hi,
It doesn't look like you posted either the complete query or the complete error message (including line number). Try again.
"single row subquery return more then one row" usually means you are using a sub-query in a place where a single expression is expected, for example the column called avg_sal in this query:
SELECT ename
,       sal
,       (SELECT AVG (sal) FROM scott.dept WHERE deptno = e.deptno) AS avg_sal -- Scalar-sub-query
FROM    scott.emp e; The error occurs when the sub-query returns more than one row
If the sub-querry really is supoosed to be returning only one row, the solution is to fix the sub-query, usually be adding something to the WHERE clause.
If the sub-query is supposed to return more than one row, then the main query has to be re-written, perhaps as a join.
Post a little sample data and the results you want from that data if you need help.
