How to extract from string

I know I have done this in CVI before..
I just can't remember how I did it..
(braindead today???!!!???)
Here goes:
Take a string:
"Mary had a little lamb"
FindPattern "little"
resulting string: ""Mary had a lamb"
What I have works up to finding the pattern and it's location.
-sigh-
I know I'll kick myself because from what I recall, it's a very simple solution... I just can't think of it..
And I vaguely remember the function name that I used...
R
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks,
I should have mentionned that the token in this case is a backspace '\b' character.
The idea is to remove all backspace characters and the character preceding it.
R
Here's a sample of the data:

How to extract sub string value from a string?

Hi,
I need to know how can i extract sub strings from a main
string, something like this:
main variable-------->"2087-5E2SE-19-JG7BC"
i want to split it into like this:
sub_main_1 variable---------> "2087"
sub_main_2 variable---------> "5E2SE"
sub_main_2 variable---------> "19"
sub_main_2 variable---------> "JG7BC"
I did the same in flash by using Split and arrays, like this:
var my_str:String = "2087-5E2SE-19-JG7BC";
var my_array:Array = my_str.split("-");
for (var i = 0; i<my_array.length; i++) {
trace(my_array
this.aaa1 = my_array[1];
this.aaa2 = my_array[2];
this.aaa3 = my_array[3];
this.aaa4 = my_array[4];
My question is that how can i do the same in director ?? i
haven't find any split function in director.
Thanks in advance,
Amir

You do a similar thing in Director using the itemDelimiter,
which is a
_player object property in MX2004. By default, it's a comma:
put _player.itemDelimiter
It will let you get specific items within a string.
p = "2087-5E2SE-19-JG7BC"
_player.itemDelimiter = "-"
put p.item[1]
-- "2087"
You could use it to write yourself a little split function:
on split(theString, theDelimiter)
oldDelim = _player.itemDelimiter
_player.itemDelimiter = theDelimiter
itemList = []
repeat with cnt = 1 to theString.item.count
itemList.add(theString.item[cnt])
end repeat
return itemList
end
p = "2087-5E2SE-19-JG7BC"
a = split(p, "-")
put a
-- ["2087", "5E2SE", "19", "JG7BC"]

Data extraction from string

I'm trying to search a particular value in a string file. The string contains many parameters followed by their values and units. I want to identify and extract, as a number, the value of a particular parameter. The program will basically ask the user to type in (or select from a list of given) parameters in a dialogue box. Then it should display the value of the parameter.
The string I'm trying to work with, is of the form:-
SensorOneInMM,34585
BatteryVoltageInmV,19761
BattTemp1InC,20
CliffDistanceLeftInMM,60
CliffDistanceRightInMM,60
RightSensor,0
LeftSensor,0
CurrentInmAforMotor, 789
TestingCurrentInmA, 123
Temp1InC,28
Temp2InC,28
BaseCurrentInmA,1342
ChargeInmV,218
CurrentInmA,9999
NotConnected3,0
Now, for example the value I want to read is the one in Blue color. But the expression, "CurrentInmA" appears several times, in the string. How can I identify the value of the parameter in Blue color??
Thanks for helping out an amateur!!!
Cheers.

How does "Unflatten From String" take a type and return a value of that type?

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/glang/unflatten_from_string/
How exactly does the "type" argument for "Unflatten From String" work? I need to create a VI that takes a type, passes it as an argument to several calls of the "Unflatten From String" function, and returns an array containing elements of the type originally passed. The "Unflatten From String" function seems to do some magic though, because the type of the "value" that it outputs changes depending on the type it is passed as input. How do I do the same magic in my VI?
Ultimately, what I need to accomplish is an unflatten-list operation. Given a type T and a byte string of length L (which contains a concatenation of T elements that are flattened to their bytes), create a VI that unflattens all the types in the string and return an array of length (L / sizeof(T)) that contains each type.
Note: performing the unflatten-list operation is trivial, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it in a VI that takes a type and returns an array of the appropriate type. By the way, my data is being given to me from another source, so please don't bother suggesting that I should be flattening an array using LabVIEW's "Flatten To String" function in the first place. My data is not given in LabVIEW's array format: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvconcepts/flattened_data/
Thanks a ton!
-Wakka

Take a look at this example: You can see that the flattened string contains several bytes. The first four bytes contain the length of array (number of elements). Since the data type is U32, the next 32 bits (4 bytes) contains the value of the first element, and so on. Could you possibly use this scheme to do what you want to do? Other data types present different outputs. You would have to experiment with them.

Reading Hex data- how to typecast from string

Hi,
I am reading a file having hex data ( say 100 lines).When i read it i think it is being read as a string.
How can i typecast or convert it to int .
I am using dis.readLine() to read from file and assigning it to a variable(int).
Thanks.
Edited by: Motorcycle on Jun 10, 2009 3:16 PM

Sorry for that..:)
ok a few lines of the file are as folloes
0x004D1202
0x0002E1E5
0x004C1202
0x0002E1EB
0x004E1202
I tried reading it as data [indr][indc].tag = ( int ) dis.readLine() ;
It said " cannot convert from String to int.
data is a structure having int variables.
Thanks.

NPD Metrics - how to extract from the database in a usable format

Metrics for NPD activities and projects are stored in the database one row for each metric in each activity or project instance. If there are multiple metrics per activity instance, for example, extraction of those metrics yeilds only a list of metrics and values. I'd like to see it in more of a table style output. Can you provide some guidance on how to extract this from the DB using sql? Thx

Here is the SQL that should help understand the structure. There are a few ways to pull this data in more of a column based approach. This should help you get started.
select modml.baseName as MetricName, bases.name as Basis, ph.name as Phase,
fy.name as FiscalYear, gl.Value as Value, UOM.ID as UOM, currml.Name as Currency
from plmFieldExchangeGlobals gl
inner join plmFieldExchangeDefinitions fed on fed.pkid = gl.FieldExchangeDefinitionPKID
inner join plmFieldExchangeDefModels mod on mod.pkid = fed.fkFieldExchangeDefinitionModel
inner join plmFieldExchDefinitionModelML modml on modml.fkFieldExchangeDefinitionModel = mod.pkid and modml.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangeBases bases on fed.fkFieldExchangeBasis = bases.pkid and bases.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangePhases ph on fed.fkFieldExchangePhase = ph.pkid and ph.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangeFiscalYears fy on fed.fkFieldExchangeFiscalYear = fy.pkid and fy.langID = 0

Xpath in BPEL: How to extract from message type to string

Hi all,
I am currently trying to extract all content from a special message type to a string. The special message is really just simple XML.
However, I wish to convert the special domain specific message to a string to send to another partnerlink.
I figured that it would be a simple matter of using an assign / copy operation using the special message and the ora:getContentAsString function.
This does not work :-(
I get the following error in the domain log:
ORABPEL-05002
Message handle error.
An exception occurred while attempting to process the message "com.collaxa.cube.engine.dispatch.message.invoke.InvokeInstanceMessage"; the exception is: XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "ora:getContentAsString(bpws:getVariableData('businessEventBody'))", the reason is FOTY0001: type error.
Please verify the xpath query.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
Regards,
Aagaard

ThanksThat depends on how you know the 4 parts are what you showed, and not
'(invoice) dear client: tom cruise you Buy 408 from MENA.CA @ 6.93 01/10/09 watheeqa'
or
'(invoice) dear client: tom cruise you Buy 408 from MENA.CA @ 6.93 01/10/09 watheeqa?'
or
'(invoice) dear client: tom cruise you Buy 408 from MENA.CA @ 6.93 01/10/09 watheeqa'
Will there always be exactly four parts you need to pick?

If retval contains the whole response including envelope, then obviously it doesn't start at "TICKETCreateRespMsg". You have to use the full path, or a descendant axis, but the former is preferred.
Be aware of namespaces too, that's a common gotcha with XML.

How to extract from the exception the reason for the failure

I have a method that executes an sql update and fails.
The description of the failure is:
com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.DuplicateKeyException: One or more values in the INSERT statement, UPDATE statement, or foreign key update caused by a DELETE statement are not valid because the primary key, unique constraint or unique index identified by "1" constrains table "XXX" from having duplicate rows for those columns.
I didn't find a way of extracting the type of the exception (if there's one).
I want to be able to assess the exception and to return a specific error message with
the specific error explained.
thanks
Itamar

One can alway catch the exceptions (java.sql.SQLException) and call its getErrorCode() method,
but getMessage or getLocalizedMessage are fine also.
In your case you have primary fields or indexes that require uniqueness of some fields across records.
For instance if you have a composed primary key id+language and forget to INSERT the language.
Off course you find the spot in the code by:
try {
} catch (....Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}Another preventive way is to use PreparedStatements.
