Here's how to find the right word in a string

I needed to find the rightmost word in a string. I didn't find a simple formula in these forums, but I now have one, so I wanted to share it. Hope you find it useful.
Assuming that the string is in cell A1, the following will return the rightmost word in the string:
RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))

I found the problem. Whatever character was being used in the substitution was parsed out by the forum parser. I replaced it with "œ" (option q on my keyboard).
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("œ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","œ",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
Still needs an error check for a single-word "sentence" and to remove the trailing period but it does seem to work. Pretty slick.

How to find the right primary key for DSO from Business Content

According to best practice design, it is reccomended to make a DSO where all fields from Business COntent Datasources are transferred.
But, how to find the right primary indeks ?
Any good suggestions ?
For many of the Business Content dataflows there are not DSOs present, so ther e is no tip to get from the dokumentations as gfar as I have found.
best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
Your question will be perfect in case if you are going for a Custom cube.
You will not have any problem when you create a Datasource in R/3 level even if it is been built on a single table or on view.
Only point that you want to know how to design my Key fields in ODS.
This will be purely depends at what level that you want to bring the data.
Egg:-
If you run the data source in RSA3 and check for Each GL if you have 10 liine items and you want all the 10 line items to be transfered to BW.
In this case you need to check what is the unique combination of fields that is making this lineitems to exists as 10.then include all those fields into Your ODS Key Fields.
This way you can have 10 records for that perticular GL in both sides, by which u will make sure that the data is been completely transfered.
If in case if you clude your own Key fields then you will get the correct Total in report for each GL but you can't see all those 10 line items.
For any case you need to figureout how many records that you want to take into BW based on that check the fields that makes it unique and then add them to ODS Keyfields that will solve your requirement.
I think this will clear your doubt.

VNK.

How To Find The Right Server........

Hi Friend�s I am Again Here
I Have A Question. I have Tool That�s Work is To Check The Duplicate CDR from Three day�s dump and Then Load this CDR�s in Database. I runt his tool on 2.4 GHz System with 1GB ram and I got the result
74 CDR�s /see Processing.
This time I Have A problem that I need server to run this tool and I am not getting that how I calculate the right server so that I can get the result upto 500 CDR�s/see
How Much CPU I need and How Much Ram I Needed. As per My Knowledge this can run fine on 2*2.4 GHz dual core CPU with 8GB ram.
Is it Fine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Can anyone Help to Find Right System for this tool.

Your post is hard/annoying to read. In English only the start of a sentence is capitalized. There is no need to capitalize every word within a sentence, unless required otherwise, like the pronoun "I" or the person/product names, e.g. "John Doe" and "Java".
Apart from that, your question has nothing to do with Java at all. Look for a CDR software forum or so.

How to find the right kstat info & interpret it ?

Having found out how to read the kstat structures I am
still struggling with finding the right information which
makes sense!
I am interested in the following statistics:
0. Swap Space - similar to that reported by swap
1. Scan rate similar to that reported by vmstat
2. Handspread page (see Adrian Cockcrofts' performance monitoring articles)
3. Disk Space Usage - similar to df -k
4. Process memory usage -- ps
5. System Error Messages -- this may not be possible to read at all
from kstat. Probably here I will have to make do with reading /var/adm/messages
6. Disk Errors -- similar to iostat -E (Solaris 2.6 onwards)
7. Ethernet stats -- like netstat -I le0
I found the following article on SunSolve Online: FAQ 1230 'Three Virtual Memory Performance Monitors' which directs me to some of the kstat cell
types.
I started with swap space. The above article plus a few other pointers seemed to indicate the the
correct kstat struct and field to use here was vminfo.swap_avail
When I compared the figures dumped from this structure with those reported by vmstat & swap they
did not compare! eg.
kstat: vminfo.swap_avail 321393372929
kstat: vminfo.swap_free 33339822544
vmstat unix tool:
swap avail (KB) 19932
Furthermore sysinfo.h indicates that vminfo.swap_avail is expressed in pages.
1 page = 4.096 KB, so the kstat figures should be multiplied by 4 which makes
the comparison even worse. Whilst I don't expect the figures to be
an exact match -- I was hoping they would be in the same ball-park,
Next I tried page in/page out rate
Here I compared:
kstat: cpu_vminfo.pgpgin 473224
kstat: cpu_vminfo.pgpgout 14554
vmstat unix tool:
pi (page in) 4
po (page out) 0
These figures sort of match up, if you take the most sig digit in
vminfo.
I was wondering if anyone has a definitive list on what are the best
kstat fields to use -- and if any wierd and wonderful calculations must
be performed on any of them to get figures close to that supplied by
the familiar unix tools.

Hi!
I wrote a quick program to read the vminfo stats and like you saw completely crazy figures. I looked further into this and found that every second, the system clock routine adds the freemem, swap and so on to a cumulative total.
To put it another way, the figure you see for free memory is the sum total of the value of freemem sampled every second since your system booted.
Thus, to get the average freemem in pages since boot, you need to read the value of freemem and divide by the number of seconds since boot.
You can derive the number of seconds in two ways from the kstats:
(1) read lbolt (incremented every 100th sec) and divide by 100 (hz)
or (2) read sysinfo.updates (which is incremented every time the kstats are updated).
I have attached a sample program that demonstrates both of these and reports average freemem since boot in K (like vmstat).
Similarly, to get a 5 second average, take two readings of freemem and sysinfo.updates five seconds apart , then calculate
(freemem2-freemem1)/(updates2-updates1)
It seems most, if not all, of the system counters are cumulative in this fashion.
Hope that helps.

How to find the exact word in a long text?

Hi,
Scenario:
I have long text containing the system status of the equipment.
Issue:
I need to find the exact word from the list of the statuses. I have tried to use the FIND keyword but it does not work for all the cases.
Example:
          FIND 'REL' IN <status_list> IGNORING CASE.
          if sy-subrc = 0.
          " do something
          endif.
If the status list contains the word 'RELR', the sy-subrc is set to 0 (which may be because it searches the list based on a pattern) but I want to get the exact match.
Can anybody suggest me on this.
Regards

This is becacuse when you check

It is having RELR so that is the reason you are getting subrc = 0.

It seems... CS also not the correct answer
(It will count RELR) below thread sachin is correct ...Do that way ....

How to find the right OSS Note for my SAP version

Hi All,
There have been issues with the Vendor/Material Master records whenever we run a LSMW by recording process. It is such that all those fields that we have not updated come up with a value as *DELETED* for which i think we should implement a OSS Note to our system.
I am unable to find the right OSS Note Number for this to our SAP system :
SAP_APPL Support Pack: SAPKH50009 Components:Logistics & Accounting.
Request you all to provide me with the correct OSS Note Number so that we can get this issue corrected as this has become very critical.

Hi,
As Jurgen wrote - it could be some programming problem.
But, generally, if you find a SAP Note, that, in your opinion, can solve your SAP problem and it is not intended for your SAP version - simply write to SAP OSS.
If this note really solves your problem, they will extend the validity of this note for your SAP version.
Otherwise, if it is SAP problem, OSS will try to provide solution for it.
I usually act like this - it works.
Hope it helps, not this time, maybe in the future.

Wojciech

How to find the right XML files

Hi all
I need to customize OBIEE according to the custommers needs,Is there any tool to find the xml source files where I can make the changes.
Currently I'm using 'psoug' to edit the page source code , for example I want to modify those values:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="XUISectionHeadingTitle">Columns</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="XUISectionHeadingText">
Click on column names in the selection pane to add them to the request. Once added, drag-and-drop columns to reorder them. Edit a column's format, formula and filters by clicking the buttons below its name.
and I don't find the xml file to update it.
Anyone knows how I can find it?

Finding the right words

if i create a string array
String lists[3] = { "code1---apple", "code2---apple", "code3---apple"};
when the user asking for input , he type in code1
it will print out "code1---apple" line.
how to compare the user input with the array and print out the code1---apple line?

hi...
by using arrays you could set up 2 arrays, 1 for the code and 1 for the data where each data string corresponds to it's code...for example
String codes[] = {"code1", "code2", "code3"};
String data[] = {"apple1", "apple2", "apple3"};
after getting the input code from the user you compare it to each element in codes[] until you find code that the user entered...you can initialize indexOfCode to -1 to see if a code was found or not...for example
String input = //input form user
int indexOfCode = -1;
for(int i = 0; i < codes.length; i++)
if(input.equals(codes)
indexOfCode = i;
break;
now that you have the indexOfCode the same index of data[] will correspond to it's related code...so, to print out the code and it's data you could do this....
if(indexOfCode != -1)
System.out.println(codes[indexOfCode] + "---" + data[indexOfCode]);
hope this helps you..

How to match the nth word in a string?

Hi, when I have a string like
"AA BBBB CCC DDDDDD EEE FF"
all words are of the form \w+
and I'd like to match the nth word, for example the third would be "CCC",
how can I establish this with just one regular expression?
Some annotations:
This is done with Java 1.4, but tools like the string tokenizer are not
possible (restrictions of the application) We're limited to one regular expression!
In Perl, one would do it this way:
This would be the regular expression:
"[\w+\s+\w+\s+](w+)"
and with the help of $1, you might match the first paranthesis.
As I said before, this is no solution here, because we're limited to one
regular expression
Another idea for Java Regex would be to define a positive lookahead, like (?<=\w+\s+\w+\s+), but as the width of it is variable, it is not allowed!
Thanks for your help,
Heiko Kubidsky

well, i did another test class
import java.util.regex.*;
public class NthMatch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(
    "(?:\\w+\\s+){" + args[1] + "}(\\w+)(?:\\s.*)?");
Matcher m = p.matcher(args[0]);
if (m.matches())
   System.out.println(m.group(1));
else
   System.out.println("no match");
}run: java NthMatch "aa bb cc dd" 2
does that help?
what kind of framework you have to squeese the regex in?
what do you want to do with that regex?
do you want to check if Nth word maches something, or do you want to retriev that Nth string? or are you trying to do anything else?
your explanation is unfortunatelly not sufficient :(

How to write the right pattern to replace string after a static string?

How to find the right customizing adapter object for a R3 table?

I customized a document type ZCRM in the R/3. Now i want to do the synch load for document types using R3AS to see if it goes to the CRM system.
When i check TR VOV8 in R/3 customizing, i see that table TVAK is used in R/3 to store my document type ZCRM
Then i try to find out, to which customizing adapter object table TVAK belongs. It is described in course TCRM20 Unit 9: I check table SMOFTABLES in the CRM system using TR SE16 and search in the column R3TABNAME for tablename TVAK. But it isn´t there...
What am i doing wrong? How can i transfer my document type?
Thank you

Thanks - you are right - document types/transaction types and item categories cannot be transfered at all
I just transfered customizing adapter object DNL_CUST_PRICE because R/3 table T052 (payment terms) is included in this adapter object. I customized payment term ZCRM in R/3. A check shows a green light. Now i want to check in which table in CRM my payment terms landed?
Table T052 does not seem to exist in CRM.
A detail insight in adapter object DNL_CUST_PRICE by transaction R3AC3 to check the target table in CRM shows an empty column 'Mapping structure target site'. Where could i look?
Thank you
