How to remove new line character from query output?

Hi,
How to remove new line character from query output?
have tried select replace(column_name, CHR(10), ' ') from table_name.
Edited by: GreenHorn on Sep 11, 2008 12:53 AM

Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13||chr(10) Unix uses only one character chr(10).
The new line character(s) may be OS-dependent.
You could consider both with:
replace(replace(column_name, CHR(13)||CHR(10), ' '),CHR(10),' ')

  • How to insert new line character?

    Hi all,
    I have two lines to print.
    out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
    out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
    i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
    Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
    I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
    Thanks for your time.

    You should never use "\n" directly.
    The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
    And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
    To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
    The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
    The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
    The solutions provided
    - use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
    - use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.

  • Removing New Line Character in Input file

    Hi Experts,
    I Have a question about "New Line Character". I searched in SDN before posting this thread, But I didn't get answer.
    Question:
    Let me say my Client requirement first. After loading the data(Millions of Records) into SAP through LSMW, they asked write a program for validation of those loaded records based on I/P file. I wrote a program and It is success full.
    But, the problem is when file is in Application server in 'BIN' format, a new line character(#) is created. While comparing the last record of each line, it doesn't match. How to remove this new line character(#) in I/P file for each line of record? Please see the below records for example
    PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1870|AR| #
    PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1876|AR| #
    BOX 7407 PRINCETON|   |085437407|US|NJ#
    5756 2 A   CAPITAL FEDERAL|   |1431|AR|00#
    Note: This New line character is not matching the string "#".
    Please help me guys, so many objects are related with this concept. I appreciate quick response. Please.
    Thanks

    Hi Arun, Ravi,
    I wrote the code like this, here 'fil_curre' is currency key.
    IF <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre CS cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
              REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
                                            IN <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre WITH ''.
            ENDIF.
    While executing the code, the cursor here, simply jumps to next step.
    Any enhancements to this code or any new ideas?
    Thanks

  • ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

    Hi Everyone,
    Im using Jdev 11G.
    i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
    1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
    VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
    The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
    wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
    Thank you.

    Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as &amp; To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

  • Removing new line character in jdk 1.2

    I am currently using replaceAll("\n", "") to remove new line characters in an string. But this works only for 1.4 version, I know need to have this work on 1.2 and 1.3.
    Is there an alternate method that I can use?

    If the string come from a file that's in the native text format for that platform, then replaceAll(System.getProperty("line.separator", "") will work.
    This won't work, however, if you, say, create a text file on windows and the read it on Unix without translating the EOL characters.
    If you can't be certain that the file is in the format that matches the current platform, three options pop to mind:
    * Run over the String, char by char, copying all chars to a new String except \r and \n.
    * Use two replaceAll calls--one with \r and one with \n.
    * Dump the String into a StringReader, then wrap the StringReader in a BufferedReader. Call readLine() on the BufferedReader in a loop, concatenating the results in a StringBuffer as you go.

  • How to use new line character?

    Hi,
    i am getting string value like this :
    name john company
    test1 position director sal
    45000
    i am getting this value in a string.
    i want to display the value like below :
    name john
    company test1
    position director
    sal 45000
    how to proceed on this ? can we use new line character here ? how can we use that? pls suggest me on this.
    Regards,

    Hi Friend,
    you can use the split method of String. to split that string base on space.
    for Example
         String st = "Jeetendra Kumar Choudhary";
         String[] string = st.split(" ");
         for (int j = 0; j < string.length; j++) {
              System.out.println(string[j]);
    By this way you can get the each word separately and you can concatenate it again in single string.if you need it.
    Regards
    Jeetendra.

  • Need help in how to print new line character in unix using java

    Hi All,
    I use the printstream class to print some line in a text using java.
    here is the code:
       FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
            PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                    p.print("\t");
                    p.print(date);
                    p.print("\t\t");
                    p.print(RecCount);
                    p.println("\n");when i use this and output of this character in windows is
    date RecCount
    22-07-2007 23456
    when i use the same code in unix it shows the following output:
    date RecCount[]22-07-2007
    it wont accept the new line character could any one give me an idea to solve this problem.

    PrintStream has a println() method. Use that. Or System.getProperty("line.separator").
    Because a newline char doesn't necessarily specify a line break. It's system-dependent.

  • How to remove a newline character from a column

    hi all...
    i have a column in a table in which some of the datas contain a newline character at their last.
    i need to remove those newline characters.
    for example.... a data is
    'abcd
    (notice the end of the quotation).....i need to get the data as...'abcd'
    plss help me...
    thanks in advance..

    thanks for ur reply...
    i got your point..but here what you have done is....u have inserted a particular character set in between 'abcd' and 'xyz' and afetr that just replaced those character set by null....
    but in my case the problem is a bit different...
    the datas are already present and what i have to do is to remove the newline spaces from the end of the datas.
    select replace(column_name,'<what shall i put here>',null) from table_name;
    in your example...that is 'chr(10)'...but in my case its a newline character....

    this will work:
    document.write('wer'+'\n'+'sd');
    and this will *probably* work:
    document.write("wer\nsd");
    I just replaced single quotes with double quotes

  • Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

    Hi All,
    I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
    Thanks

              return get_count;
         }

    You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
    Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
    do{
    //your code
    }while(text == "")

    Hi,
    Not sure if I get it, but you can look for characters using the ascii and chr functions.
    You can change them using replace:
    A new line:
    SQL> select ascii('
      2  ') from dual;
    ASCII('')
            10(Just press enter between the quotes)
    Example how to replace it with a space:
    SQL> with t as ( -- generating test string:
      2  select 'this string has
      3  a new line' str from dual
      4  )
      5  --
      6  -- actual query:
      7  --
      8  select str
      9  ,      replace(str, chr(10), chr(32))
    10  from   t;
    STR                        REPLACE(STR,CHR(10),CHR(32
    this string has            this string has a new line
    a new lineIf that isn't clear of when I'm missing the point then please post some narrowes down examples of what you get now and your desired output.
