How to split a string for 2 different matching patterns?

hey guys
i'm trying to split a string, using .split(regular expression), if two different pattern matches but i don't know the exact syntax for it. I want to split the string from letters and punctuations.
This is what i'm doing, obviously it's not working, i'm not too sure if syntax are correct.
String inputDigit [] = input.split("([a-zA-Z]) (\\p{Punct})");Please help me with this, thank you!

Can you describe in more detail what you're trying to
accomplish?ok, basically if you have a string which consists of letters, digits and punctuations. All i'm trying to do or want to do is store all digist within that string into an array. Therefore, i'm using split method to split the string wherever you find a letter or a punctuation. But i don't know what is syntax for using two different patterns at the same time.
// For example if you have a string "Eeyore 61 2.986PoohPiglet007Kanga-23"
// i only want: 61 2 986 007 23. I know i can use substring // but that would be a slightly long process

How to call hr_location_api.create_location for different address style with only those fields that belongs specific to that address style.

How to call hr_location_api.create_location for different address style with only those fields that belongs specific to that address style. It should decide at run time means at run time it will come to know the type of address style and based on that only the fields which belong to address details mapped to calling hr_location_api.create_location.
Thanks in advance.

You can create a wrapper package on top of the API (hr_location_api.create_location)
In the wrapper package you set all the values dynamically based on your requirements(say the style and add_line columns are populated on your conditions) and then you call the API.
Does that not work ?

How to split one page into different frames in ADF?

Hi,
Can any one please guide me how to split a jspx into different frames.
i.e., left frame contains <af:panelSideBar> which contains multiple <af:commandMenuItem> s. And whenver we click on the one <af:commandMenuItem>, it has to show the corresponing page inside center frame in this page itself. Is it possible in ADF? Which component we need to use?
Can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Suresh Kethireddy

You can use a combination of the ADF Faces 10.1.3 components like:
af:panelPage
af:panelSideBar
af:panelHorizontal
af:panelGroup
to organize the screen layout, but it is not the interactive splitter that the 11g product provides.
You can all all the 10.1.3 ADF Faces Components here:

How to split a string with linefeed character ( LF ) as a delimiter in VB6?

Hi. I am writing a small program in VB 6.0.
I have a string named Data and it contains few characters along with <LF> in it. ( <LF> is a new line/line feed character).
I want to split this string with <LF> as delimiter and store the tokens in an array. I tried with split function and its giving me type mismatch error. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I am giving the pseudo-code below.
Dim Data as string
Data = "hello, how are you<LS>good morning guys <LS> hi"
Dim strarray() as stringMsgbox(Data)
strarray = split(Data, "<LS>")
When i see the Data in message box before split function, it shows up in different lines like this:
hello, how are you
good morning guys
hi
I want the final array strarray to be like this: strarray(0) = "hello, how are you"
strarray(1) = "good morning guys "
strarray(2) = " hi"
The spaces can be as it is. Just i need the string to be delimited wherever <LS> is there.
Please help me as soon as possible. Though it is small one, i am stuck here.
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Splitting a string in different substrings

Hallo,
I want to split a string of any length in new substrings and want to save these substrings in different variables.
I tried as following:
data:
      string type string value 'Hallo SAP world', "This could be any string with any lenght
      offset type i value 0,
      str_len type i,
      new_str type string.
str_len = strlen( string ).
do 5 times.
new_str = string+offset(3).
write : new_str.
write : ' '.
offset = offset + 3.
   enddo.
1_ Has anyone any idea, how to save the new substrings in different variables?
2_ Since the new substring has length 3. So how many times should the do-loop run?
Thanks
ama

Hi, Muhammed Aftab Alam
Test the following Sample code it working the same way you are requiring, I have Tested,
REPORT zfsl_sub_string.
DATA: main_string TYPE string,
      len_string TYPE i,
      reminder TYPE i,
      string_from TYPE i.
main_string = 'Hallo SAP World'. " You can give any string here.
len_string = STRLEN( main_string ).
DO 3 TIMES.
reminder = len_string MOD 3.
IF reminder NE 0.
    CONCATENATE main_string ' ' into main_string SEPARATED BY space.
len_string = strlen( main_string ).
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
len_string = len_string div 3.
string_from = 0.
DO len_string TIMES.
WRITE: / main_string+string_from(3).
ADD 3 TO : string_from.
ENDDO.
Following too the same as above just add PARAMETER for input String
REPORT zfsl_sub_string.
PARAMETERS: pstring TYPE string.
DATA: "pstring TYPE string,
      len_string TYPE i,
      reminder TYPE i,
      string_from TYPE i.
*pstring = 'Hallo SAP World'. " You can give any string here.
len_string = STRLEN( pstring ).
DO 3 TIMES.
reminder = len_string MOD 3.
IF reminder NE 0.
    CONCATENATE pstring ' ' into pstring SEPARATED BY space.
len_string = strlen( pstring ).
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
len_string = len_string div 3.
string_from = 0.
DO len_string TIMES.
WRITE: / pstring+string_from(3).
ADD 3 TO : string_from.
ENDDO.

How to change connection string for a form created with b1de

Hi all
i've created a form using the Code Generator tool ob B1DE
My question is how can i set the connection string to a different server and database. doing so after the creation wizard has finished?

Hi,
Why do you need to change the connection string? What are you calling "connection string for a form"???
The only connection string I now about is the one used to connect to the UI API... and this one is fixed for all apps in debug mode and given as parameter when your addon is registered in B1.
The connection string is filled in the code of your generated addon.
Please go to the main class of your addon, in the main method you have the following code where the connection string is filled either with the command line parameters (release mode) or with the fixed value given by SAP. This code doesn't need to be changed...
        public static void Main()
            int retCode = 0;
            string connStr = "";
            bool diRequired = true;
            // CHANGE ADDON IDENTIFIER BEFORE RELEASING TO CUSTOMER (Solution Identifier)
            string addOnIdentifierStr = "";
            if ((System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length == 1)) {
                connStr = B1Connections.connStr;
            else {
                connStr = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
            try {
                // INIT CONNECTIONS
                retCode = B1Connections.Init(connStr, addOnIdentifierStr, diRequired);

            l_str := substr( l_str, l_n+length(p_delim) );
        end loop;
        return l_data;
   end;

How to split a string into tokens and iterate through the tokens

Guys,
I want to split a string like 'Value1#Value2' using the delimiter #.
I want the tokens to be populated in a array-like (or any other convenient structure) so that I can iterate through them in a stored procedure. (and not just print them out)
I got a function on this link,
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/11692/0/
which returns a VARRAY. Can anybody help me how to iterate over the VARRAY, or suggest a different alternative to the split please ?
Thanks.
