How do I pass single quotes into a string variable?

Thanks for any help?
Example
Select xdat, yday
from foo
where
xdat = to_char(sysdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
How do I pass the single quoted stuff above into a string variable?

Thank you but that is not the same thing. I am building a dynamic sql statement and need to pass the quoted material into a statement that is quoted Is that not what my example above shows?
My example above has a quoted string inside a string. I think this is exactly what you were asking for.

How to escape a single quotes from a string of dynamic sql clause?

if a single quotes exist in a dynamic sql clause for a string,
like
v_string :='select tname from tab where tabtype='table'',
there tabtype='table' will conflict with the single quote ahead.
could somebody tell me how to escape this single quotes?
thanks for your tips,
frederick

fredrick,
To represent one single quotation mark within a literal, enter two single quotation marks. For example :
v_string :='select tname from tab where tabtype=''table'''

You need to url-encode the value using the URLEncoder class.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
For example:
<form name=test action="test.jsp?fname=<%=URLEncoder.encode(name, "ISO-8859-1")%>" method="post">

Hi,
What is requirement for passing the data in a single line ? Do you finally need to append the same in the internal table and pass it in the module ?
You can create an internal table of type 1000 character and can loop the existing internal table. Then you can append the Work area in a single line and can finally append it to the table.
DATA : ITAB type standard table of char1000.
Loop at <existing table>.
concatenate table work area wa_char100 into Itab_char_1000.
endloop.
APPEND itab_char_1000 into itab.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

Hi zebideeplus,
Using Reader, you need to purchase subscription for Adobe PDF Pack to combine PDF files into single document.
Refer: Acrobat.com Help | Adobe PDF Pack FAQ
But, if you need to combine single pages, then it can be done with Adobe Acrobat only.
Let me know if you have further queries.

How can I pass a value into a page fragment?

How can I pass a value into a page fragment?
I am implementing four search screens. And the only thing different about them will be their backing bean.
So I’d like to do something like have four pages, each which retrieves its appropriate backing bean, sets that bean to a variable, and then includes a page fragment which contains the generic search page code (which will make use of that variable).
The code in the four pages would be something like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>
<c:set var="searchPageBackingBean"
value="#{pageFlowScope.employeeSearchPageBean}"
scope="page"/>
<jsp:include page="./SearchPageBody.jsff"/>
</jsp:root>
At this point, what I’m seeing is that the fragment page, SearchPageBody.jsff, has no visibility of the searchPageBackingBean variable, either referencing it as #{pageFlowScope.searchPageBackingBean} or just #{searchPageBackingBean}

The following will work, assuming you are needing to access a managed bean:
Put this in the parent page:
<c:set var="nameOfSearchPageBackingBean"
value="employeeSearchPageBean"
scope="request"/>
Put this in the child, SearchPageBody.jsff:
<c:set var="searchPageBean"
value="#{pageFlowScope[nameOfSearchPageBackingBean]}"
scope="page"/>

How to catch exception into a String variable ?

I have a code
catch(Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
            logger.error("\n Exception in method Process"+e.getMessage());
        }when i open log i find
Exception in method Process null.
But i get a long error message in the server console !! I think thats coming from e.printStackTrace().
can i get the error message from e.printStackTrace() into a String variable ?
I want the first line of that big stacktrace in a String variable.
How ?

A trick is to issue e.printStackTrace() against a memory-based output object.
void      printStackTrace(PrintStream s)
         // Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void      printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)
//          Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.Edited by: BIJ001 on Oct 5, 2007 8:54 AM

Finding location of single quote ( ' ) in a string

Hi,
I have a need to find the location of second single quote in a string.
Below query works fine for a string without single quote. It gives me the location of word 'HIER' for 2nd occurrence.
select instr('HIER A HIER B','HIER',2) from dual
I want to do the same with single quote. I am trying with the below query.
select instr('HIER A '' HIER B ''',chr(39),2) from dual
But it always gives me the location of first occurrence of single quote and not the second.
Any idea about this issue..?
Thanks

select regexp_replace('AND ( ACCT_V.HIER_NODE_NM = ''D0100'' AND TODAYS_DATE IS NULL ','.*''(.*)''.*','\1') from dual
select substr('AND ( ACCT_V.HIER_NODE_NM = ''D0100'' AND TODAYS_DATE IS NULL ',instr('AND ( ACCT_V.HIER_NODE_NM = ''D0100'' AND TODAYS_DATE IS NULL ','''')+1,instr('AND ( ACCT_V.HIER_NODE_NM = ''D0100'' AND TODAYS_DATE IS NULL ','''',1,2)-instr('AND ( ACCT_V.HIER_NODE_NM = ''D0100'' AND TODAYS_DATE IS NULL ','''')-1) from dualComment to the second approach: check SUBSTR() syntax, the second numeric parameter is length of the fragment, not the ending position. Still, RE approach is way shorter and more readable, isn't it? ;)

How to store serval char variables into a string variable?

I have serval char variables, but i don't know how to put them together (without using arrays). I am thinking to store these char variables into a string variable but i don't know how to do it. For example,
char letter1 = 'a', letter2 = 'b', letter3 = 'c';
String letters;
then how can i do to make letters = "abc" from using letter1,2,3?
I am just a beginner of Java, if anyone can help me, i will appreciate that very much!!!

String letters=""+leter1+letter2+letter3;is fine and dandy. What it actually compiles to is
String letters = new StringBuffer().append(letter1).append(letter2).append(letter3).toString();Which ofcourse is much more code to write, but still good to know.
So do see the API for java.lang.StringBuffer.

Single quote in the String????

Hello All,
I want to supress the meaning of single quote in the string, so that I can use the string as one of the fields in my sql query, for doing this inserting "/" before the single code is the way or is there any other standard way to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Sarada.

usually you need to use the scape character for stopping the meaning of a single qoute, or even double quite \', \"
String s = "select empname from emps where id=\'123\'" ;

Assign sysdate into a string variable ?

Hi
How to assign a sysdate into a string variable.
Pleae help me...
Rgds
Merlina

Basically impossible, since the two things can reasonably be described as a "sysdate" -- either a long or a Date object -- aren't Strings.
Also I suppose you could reformat them as a String. But there are a lot of ways you could do that (a String representation of the long, in decimal or hex or octal or any arbitrary base, or a Date formatted in any arbitrary way, etc.).
What exactly do you want to do, and why?
