How to remove extra Characters in a string

Hi,
I have created a variable , that basically converts all the data from separate rows in one cell , but for some resons i am getting alot of commas between different values , for example
Var_ Max concatnate 8
208016,,,,,207736,,,,,,205796,,,204476,204441,203521,111460,111382,110812,110504,110483,109908,,,101284,
but i want to show like
i just want 1 "," after every value , and deleting the last "," as well , like where every is more than 1 "," show just one "," and also dont show the coma after the last value
so basically these are different values coming in on cell
any logic of using SubString which can be used ?

actually its coming as following
Var_Ctegory 8
,208016,,,,,207736,,,,,,205796,,,204476,204441,203521,111460,111382,110812,110504,110483,109908,,,101284,

How to remove extra spaces in a xml formatted string

Hi,
I am trying to remove extra spaces between the xml tags. For
example, if a string is something like
' <header 1> <header 2> test </header 2> </header1>'
I want to get rid of the spaces only between the closing tag of header 1 and opening tag of header 2 and closing tag of header 2 and opening tag of header 1, in short ,I want to remove the extra spaces between the tags if there are no other characters between them. I do not want the remove the spaces between closing tag header 2 and opening tag of header ,as there is occurence of other characters.
I am aware that this can be done by looping through the string and using instr to identify the characters '<' and '>', but I would like to use it as a last resort only.
Can anyone suggest me a better way of doing it in a single go by manipulating the data?
Any help is really appreciated.
Regards,
Anil.

You can use the replace function. If you only expect one extra space, then:
scott@ORA92> select replace ('<header 1> <header 2> test </header 2> </header1>',
2 '><', '><')
3 from dual
4 /
REPLACE('<HEADER1><HEADER2>TEST</HEADER2></HEADER
<header 1> <header 2> test </header 2> </header1>
If you expect more extra spaces, then you will need to wrap another replace function around it for each space, for example the following will eliminate up to three spaces:
scott@ORA92> select replace (replace (replace ('<header 1> <header 2> test </header 2> </header1>',
2 '> <', '><'), '> <', '><'), '> <', '><')
3 from dual
4 /
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE('<HEADER1><HEADER2>TEST
<header 1><header 2> test </header 2></header1>

How to remove the characters from first and last position of a string?

Hi all,
I am creating an application where i am using vb script to export the data to excel.
In the excel sheet most of the values are entered with double " quotes.
so the entry looks like ""http://www.sap.com"".
Notice that it is starting with "" and not " . so the vb takes it as a line feed and shows an error .
It will be great if anybody can tell me how to remove these set of quotes ,so that the value should come as "http://www.sap.com" . A sample code wil be of great help.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
To modify you excel you have 2 options, 1) you can filter them in excel itself by using filter ...etc in excel itself. or 2) you can do it by using ABAP code.
Below code may help you.
Get the data from Excel to Internal table using FM :
call function 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
exporting
    filename                = 'c:\temp\test.xls'
    i_begin_col             = 1
    i_begin_row             = 1
    i_end_col               = w_values
    i_end_row               = 10
tables
    intern                  = t_alsmex_tabline
exceptions
    inconsistent_parameters = 1
    upload_ole              = 2
    others                  = 3.
Now replace all unwanted "" in internal table with space.
replace all occurrences of '""' in itab-field with '   '.
Again you can export to Excel using
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    exporting
      filename                = lv_file
      filetype                = 'DAT'
      append                  = ' '
      write_field_separator   = 'X'
    tables
      data_tab                = itab.

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 remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label?

Hi All,
Kindly let me know how we can remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label.
Suppose we have this following code in SO10.
^FO1380,1879^COY,78^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>_1E06_1DF01001T_1D6JUN&v_huf&&v_hul&_1DV&v_supnum1&_1D16K&v_del&_1D6D&v_flddat1&095_1D2L&v_unload&_1D
P&v_article&_1D4L&v_madein&_1D_1E_04^FS.
Variable have there own value. and the desired result will be shown like the attachment.
But in my code it splits into new line when CMIR value has 3 spaces.
If CMIR value is 1S0 820 355 A . then it creats a new line.
Kindly suggest me any possible solution.
Thanks,
Partha

Hi Gaurav,
In print preview we can't see any space or new line. But when it scanned by TSB (barcode scanner) it will generate a new line when there is 3 space CMIR value.
So where should I write SHIFT CMIR LEFT DELETING LEADING space this code?
Because there is no space coming at the time of debugging or print preview.
And in SO10 the code written as
^FO1380,1879^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>
Here CMIR value is 1SO 820 303 A
and generated output is like this.
And desired output should be like this.

How to search special characters in a string

Hi all,
I want to search special characters in all string columns and all rows in the table.
The table has about 5 string columns and about 5.000.000 rows. For each row and column, I have to search entries, which included special characters like ", !, ? or something else (f.ex. "Mama?Mia" or "!!!Hotel out of order!!!"). The problem, the character could stand at each position in the string.
What's the best and most performance possibility to search such entries?? Is it possibility only by SQL; is there a special function for this?? Or must I use PL/SQL.
Thanks for helping
Dana

How to remove extra char in the uploaded file...?

Dear All,
There is file upload page in our portal.When user uploads the file (CSV) i can see there is extra char (^M) in the unix env.How can I remove that extra char before inserting into the database.For inserting into database I am using below code:
BlobDomain blobdomain = (BlobDomain)pageContext.getParameterObject(upldFileNameHD);
header.setFileData(blobdomain);
Did anyone can help me on this...
Thanks

Raffy is right in giving the explanation on why this happens.
Now way to
1. Remove it:
A. open file in vi
B. use this command, the way it works is, search(%s) for the ^M char and replace it with space (//) , and do this globally (g)
:%s/^M//g
C. To type ^M char press Ctrl Key and press either M or J, it should print that char.
D. Save the file (:wq)
2. Avoid it:
when doing FTP, use binary mode, just type bin before you do a put.
Thanks,
Tapash
