How to check the value of a string is numeric, alphanumeric or characters?

Hi All,
I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Bibhuprasad,
I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is
E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter
of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.Everyone else has proposed REGEXP_LIKE, and while it's very powerful, it is
also very CPU intensive. You should always use Oracle's string functions
instead of Regular Expressions if possible.
I played around with
WITH data
     AS (SELECT 'E11212' s FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT '121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'EE121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'É121212' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'E1EEEEEEEE' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 'E134343444' FROM DUAL)
SELECT s,
  CASE
    WHEN (SUBSTR(s, 1, 1) BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Z') -- AND (TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)), 999999) > 111111)
      THEN 'Correct Format'
    ELSE
      'Incorrect Format'
    END mySSN,
    SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)) AS theNumber
FROM data;I think that this can be worked so that it willl go what you require without using
REGEXP_LIKE.
HTH,

  • How to check the value in Table CDPOS

    Mostly I can't see the following fields value in the table CDPOS,
      (1) CDPOS-VALUE_NEW
      (2) CDPOS-VALUE_OLD
    In fact, it should have values, so how to check the values, is there any special method needed?
    Thanks and best regards.

    Ferry Lianto,
    Thank you very much for your expertise.
    It's helpful to get some contents via FM:CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS, the problem is, to some kind of DELETION operation, the log in table CDPOS is very simple, I still don't know which contents were deleted even though I found records in table CDPOS.
    Is there any other suggestions?
    Thanks and best regards.

    You may have working code now, but the code you posted is horrible and I'm going to tell you a much much much better approach for the JDBC part. (You should probably isolate your database code from your user interface code as well, but I'm skipping over that structural problem...)
    Do this instead:
        public void getData(String a){
            PreparedStatement p;
            String strQuery = "select count(*) the_count from customer where id = ?";
            try {   
             //create a prepared statement object to execute sql statements, it's better, faster, safer
             p = c.prepareStatement(strQuery);
                // bind the parameter value to the "?"
                p.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(a) );
                //execute the query
                ResultSet rs = p.executeQuery( );
                // if the query doesn't throw an exception, it will have exactly one row
                rs.next();
                System.out.println("i am testing");
                if (rs.getInt("the_count") > 0 ) {
                // it's there, do what you need to...
             else
                  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"I could not find the value");
            catch (SQLException e) {
                 // JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You may enter wrong id");
                 // if you get an exception, something is really wrong, and it's NOT user error
            // always, always, ALWAYS close JDBC resources in a finally block
            finally
                p.close();
        }First, this is simpler and easier to read.
    Second, this retrieves just the needed information, whether or not the id is in the database. Your way will get much much slower as more data goes into the database. My way, if there is an index on the id column, more data doesn;t slow it down very much.
    I've also left some important points in comments.
    No guarantees that there isn't a dumb typo in there; I didn't actually compile it, much less test it. It's at least close though...

  • How to check the value of "The Interrupt Status Flag"?

    Hi, thank you for reading this post!
    Invoking Thread.interrupt() sets the value of the Interrupt Status Flag.
    Just wondering if there is a Java method to check the value of this flag? Or is using isInterrupted() or interrupted() the only way to check?
    http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/interrupt.html
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Eric

    Below is the full code. As soon as the Thread.sleep() is taken out in main(), the interrupt is detected in the child thread. But if the sleep() stays, then the child thread goes into an infinite loop. It's not detected the interrupt.
    //ParentInterruptChildThreadCatchedDemo.java
    //Program function: This program demonstrates the parent thread (main()) interrupting a child thread (thread1).
    //Threaded class
    class TryThread extends Thread {
         //fields
         private String threadname;
         private long aWhile;
         //Constructor
         public TryThread(String tname, long delay) {
              threadname = tname;
              aWhile = delay;
         //run() method
         public void run() {
              while(!Thread.interrupted()) {
                   //Do work
              try {
                   System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " was just interrupted!");
                   throw new InterruptedException();
              } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                   //System.exit(1);
                   return;
    public class ParentInterruptChildThreadCatchedDemo {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              Thread thread1 = new TryThread("thread1", 2000L);
              thread1.start();
              try {
                   System.out.println("main() goes to sleep for 10 second.");
                   Thread.sleep(10000);
                   System.out.println("Statement after main() sleep().");
              } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                 //Interrupt thread1
                  int interruptFlag = 5;
                  for(int i=0; i<11; i++) {
                       if(i == interruptFlag) {
                            System.out.println("Condition met, going to interrupt thread1 ...");
                            thread1.interrupt();
                            System.out.println("Thread1 interrupted!");
                  System.out.println("Ending main()");

  • How to check the value entered in one co from anethor CO

    Dear All,
    I have a Debrief screen in which one main region is attached to CO1 and a tab region is attached to CO2, the tab region  is an independent region in the main rdebrief main RN,
    Here i have a requirement if one of the field of the tab region is entered , that has to be captured in the Debrief main Region CO.
    could you help in assisting this.
    Regards
    AK

    AK,
    You can get handle of any item in the page from the mainCO by getting handle of the bean. You will have to get the handle of the tabbed region and get the handle of the corresponding field.
    Alternatively, you can get the value from the VO Attribute, if the field is mapped to a VO attribute.

    Hi,
    Right click on application module(yourAM in model project) and press Run,Then you can confirm whether your ViewObject is working or not.
    Note:
    Generally create viewObject using EO based or Query based how did you create viewObject

    I guess, you are looking for searching for attributes of an user object.
    Here is the sample code to list all the attributes of an 'user' objectclass.
    Tell me if it helps or not.

              //Must use either the userPrincipalName or samAccountName,
              //Cannot use the distinguished name
              String adminName = "cn=abcd,cn=Users,dc=ssotest,dc=com";
              String adminPassword = "DEF1234";

              env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,adminPassword);
              //connect to my domain controller

              try {
                   // Create the initial directory context

  • How can I check the values of a textbox, if the vaule is numeric?

    Hello,
    I have a (maybe simple?) problem:
    I'm using a Webform with a input-field. With JSP I want do check, if the value of this textbox is numeric.
    In Visual Basic there exists the method IsNumeric(). But I don't know how to check it with Java/JSP?
    What classes/methods have I to use ?
    Bye
    Chris

    If you don't want to work with the exceptions then, you could just check if all the digits are numbers or a decimal point, but then you may need exponents or comma's for seperation too.
