How to remove empty tags from a config file

Hi all,
I have a task where we need to run a Java program to remove tags which do not contain ny information from the config files. The format of the file is as under:
<roleManager>
 <providers>
 <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
 <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
 </providers>
</roleManager>
<httpModules>
</httpModules>
In the above lines <roleManager> is a tag which contains some data, while <httpModules> is an empty tag and does not conatin any data. The resultant should be:
<roleManager>
 <providers>
 <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
 <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
 </providers>
</roleManager>
Please suggest how can we achieve this?
Thanks in advance

I ususally do that type of thing with a state machine... read a token, look for what is next, and if it's the closing token, I don't write it out. You have well defined opening token syntax and closing token syntax, so it should be relatively easy.

Dear Odie,
May I make your example a bit more complicated by adding an additional complexType, please:
---Original ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
</DEPT>
----- New ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
<EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
<DEVISION>1</DEVISION>
<FROM_DATE>2011-01-01 </FROM_DATE>
<TO_DATE></TO_DATE>
</EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
</DEPT>
Your solution works perfectly for <SALARY>, but how would you suggest also to deal with <TO_DATE> ?
Massive thanks for your help!
N.B. Just to emphasise, in my case I have 3 levels (complexType > complexType > complexType) and many elements and I would like to know if there is any generic option to say
to remove all the empty elements from the result, as it causes to the SSJ (Systinet) Webservice to crash.

How to remove html tags from the pdf file ?

Hello,
Using BI publisher we are generating a pdf file. In the table, we have data which contains html tags. for example " test1 2.test2 3.test3 ".
In the pdf file we need to get the output like this
test1
test2
test3
But the output is as follows :"test1 2.test 3.test3 "
Any idea, how these html tags can be removed from the pdf file and obtain the required result?
Thanks in advance!!
Archana

Archana,
Can you wrap your code in <code> tags (use square brackets rather than angled ones), as the forum software is interpretting the HTML tags, in other words we can't see what you mean ;)
In any case, there are a few different options (guessing at what your problem is, without seeing the actual data), you could use htf.escape_sc or replace, regexp_replace etc to substitute the values before you output them to your PDF.
Hope this helps,
John.

Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
doesn't
know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
do more testing.

How to remove html tags from a column

Hi
Problem is this: I get a column with a comma separated list of id's and I can successfully parse these id's and use them elsewhere. BUT, occasionally there are html tags within that id list like this:
1082471,1237423 
Is there a way to just automatically remove all tags from a column? Could do this with regex, but since there is no support, I don't know what to do.

Hi,
If the HTML can be detected by a starting symbol like „<“, then you could use the following:
Unfortuntely the operation “ReplaceRange” is only available on a Text-level, so you have to invoke a function (at least to my knowledge). You also need an Index-column in your table, so if you don’t have it, you need to create one as well.
This is your function:
let
 fnRemoveHTML = (Value, Index) =>
let
 Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
 IndeNo = Index,
 Value_ = Source{IndeNo-1}[Value],
 length = Text.Length(Text.From(Value_)),
 position = Text.PositionOf(Text.From(Value_), "<"),
 range = length-position,
 new= if Value_ is number then Value_ else Text.ReplaceRange(Value_, position, range, "")
in
 new
in
fnRemoveHTML
And this is how you invoke it:
let
 Quelle = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
 Last = Table.AddColumn(Quelle, "Custom", each fn_RemoveHTML([Value], [Index])),
 ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Last,{{"Custom", type number}})
in
 ChangedType
Provided your table is called “Tabelle1” & the column with your values to be replaced “Value” & your index-col “Index”

How to remove HTML tags from a String ?

Hello,
How can I remove all HTML Tags from a String ?
Would you please to give me a simple example ?
Best regards,
Eric

Here's some code I cooked up. I have created an object that processes code so that it can be incorporated directly into a project. There is some redundancy so that the it can be used in more than one way. Depending on your situation you might have to make the condition statement a little more sophisticated to catch stray ">" tags.
I have also included a Tester application.
//This removes Html tags from a String either by submitting the String during construction and then
// calling getProcessedString() or
// by simply calling " stringwithoutTags=removeHtmlTags(stringWithTagsSubmission); "
//Note: This code assumes that all"<" tags are accompanied by a ">" tag in the proper order.
public class HtmlTagRemover
 private String stringSubmission,processedString,stringBeingProcessed;
 private int indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd;
 public HtmlTagRemover()
 public HtmlTagRemover(String s)
 removeHtmlTags(s);
 public String removeHtmlTags(String s)
 stringSubmission=s;
 stringBeingProcessed=stringSubmission;
 removeNextTag();
 return processedString;
 private void removeNextTag()
 checkForNextTag();
 while((!(indexOfTagStart==-1||indexOfTagEnd==-1))&<indexOfTagEnd)
 removeTag();
 checkForNextTag();
 processedString=stringBeingProcessed;
 private void checkForNextTag()
 indexOfTagStart=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf("<");
 indexOfTagEnd=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf(">");
 private void removeTag()
 StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer("");
 sb.append(stringBeingProcessed);
 sb.delete(indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd+1);
 stringBeingProcessed=sb.toString();
 public String getProcessedString()
 return processedString;
 public String getLastStringSubmission()
 return stringSubmission;
public class HtmlRemovalTester
 static void main(String[] args)
 String output;
 HtmlTagRemover h=new HtmlTagRemover();
 output="The processed String: "+h.removeHtmlTags("<Html tag>This is a test<another Html tag> string<yet another Html tag>.");
 output=output+"\n"+" The original string:"+h.getLastStringSubmission();
 System.out.print(output);

How to quick import Tags from a xml file?

Good morning/afternoon/night everyone.
I have this client that want me to import something like 1000 tags from a xml file in CQ5.5. I know I can do it programatically and in dev.day.com I have already found some instructions, but, there is some easier way to do this? Or, if the only way is developing a bundle to run in a workflow (and then the client can import tags from xml files anytime he want to), do you guys have some advice or guidelines?
Thanks!

I would expect it should be possible using vault. If you export an existing namespace from cq using vault (checkout/update) you can see what format it should be in. Then you should convert your xml to match that format (perhaps using XSLT) and use vault in the other direction (commit).
We are using vault all the time behind the scenes using a vault plugin for maven. This way we can export content from one developer's cq instance, put it in SVN and have another developer import it in his cq instance, all using maven (and vault). This is especially usefull for general content structures and for tags.

How to remove SOAP tag from request going from OSB flow

Hi,
I need to send message to external party...I am using OSB for that. ...But the external party said they dont want any soap tag in the message as they need only required information .
*<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope /”>
<soapenv:Header/>
<soap-env:Body xmlns:soap-env=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope /”>

How To Remove Empty Node From Source XML

Hi,
How can I remove an empty node from the source xml in a XSLT mapping.
For e.g. If the source xml is like:
<SRC>
<Node1>SAP</Node2>
<Node2/>
<Node3>XI</Node3>
</SRC>
Then the xml should become:
<SRC>
<Node1>SAP</Node2>
<Node3>XI</Node3>
</SRC>
I need to do this because the output of my XSLT mapping is showing blank spaces for each blank node.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

How to remove html-tags from a text.

Hello!
I have a text-field which I will remove html-tag's from.
Example:
"This is a test and another test"
The function must return a similar text, but without the html-
tags and (in this case).
Anybody that can help me with this little problem?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Best regards
Kjetil Klxve

You can wait for some kind personal to post a complete code
solution... But if you want to fix this yourself (which is good
for the soul) here are some hints:
- You can use SUBSTR to get at chunks of text
- You can use INSTR to find particular characters.
- You can use INSTR as an argument of SUBSTR
Hence:
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(text, '<'));
chopped_text := SUBSTR(text, INSTR(text, '<'));
bit_of_text := bit_of_text||SUBSTR(chopped_text, INSTR
(text, '>'), INSTR(text, '<'));
will give you the first bit of text that doesn't contain any
angle brackets.
From this you should be able to work out how to functionalised
this (you'll need to store the offsets and use them in a loop
construct).
Note that this assumes that the text only contains the '<'
character when it's part of a HTML tag. If you can't guarantee
this then you'll have to explicitly search for all the tags e.g.
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(lower(text), ''));
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(lower(text), ' '));
This will be a bit of pain. And completely rules out XML!

How to remove empty tag.

Hi,
I have a scenario IDOC-XI-JDBC
From IDOC we are using change pointers and when something has been changed then those fields are being sent out but other few empty fields were coming out and to avoid that I used mapWithDefault to avoid the empty tags as target system used to error out.
But now when any field is empty coming from change pointer is also being caught in mapWithDefault....whereas it is expected to send blank.
Can anyone of you suggest any solution.
Regards
Ria

Hi Ria,
You can use if without else and check the field exist or not in the source and then map it to target.
This is a bit tricky & if you dont feel comfortable with it, then use advanced UDF, and explicitely check ResultList.SUPPRESS object and remove it in UDF and form an output stream.
You can use any of the two.
Regards,
Shri.

How to remove empty tags respecting the schema contraints?

Hi,
I'm generating an XML document with XSLT. This document have some empty tags. My question is about to remove all empty tags only if they are defined as optionnals in the schema.
Is this possible with the DOM?
Thanks in advance,
Philippe

With DOM3 validation api, elements/attributes may be checked if they may be removed.
-Check if the element is empty; getFirstChild() method returns null.
-Check if the element may be removed with DOM 3 Validation API.

How to remove the tags in a html file?

I am trying to remove all the tags in a html file , just text left.
I have written a class myself,but it just works for html tags.
So could u please give me some tips ?
thks!

It's actually not easy to do it. There are various regexp ways of doing it. If you search you'll find them. But they are only partial solutions. What you really need to do is write an HTML parser, perhaps using Java's built-in HTML parser. That's the only way to really and truly extract text from HTML. It's a bit of an advanced programming task, though.
