  • How to split this string into 4 sections to a max 35 characters

    Hello,
    Does anyone have an idea how I can acheive this please.
    I have this string
    Expense_Inv_8- ExpenseInv_7- Exp001- Expense_Inv_6- Expense_Inv_5- Expense_Inv_4- Expense_Inv_3- Expense_Inv_2- Expense_inv1
    and I need to display them in sections seperated by ';' as explained below
    Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4
    Expense_Inv_8- ExpenseInv_7- Exp001;Expense_Inv_6- Expense_Inv_5;Expense_Inv_4- Expense_Inv_3;Expense_Inv_2;
    need to split this string into 4 sections seperated by ';' and each section should be of no more than 35 characters, if null should end ;;;
    Section 1, 35 Character ended by;
    Section 2, broken off after Expense_Inv_5 because Expense_Inv_4 will take it over 35 chracters)
    Section 3, should only take Expense_Inv_4- Expense_Inv_3, because adding Expense_Inv_2 will take it over 35
    characters, each record in the string is seperated by '-'
    Section 4, dispays the reminder of the string

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Whenever you ask a question, it helps if you post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) and the results you want from that data.

    ;As written, this requires SQL*Plus 9 (or higher). You can have multiple versions or SQL*Plus on the same client, if you really need to keep the older version.
    :section_length is the maximum length of each section (35, as you stated the problem).
    :section_cnt is the number of sections. In the query above, this is 4. If you change it, you not only have to change the bind variable, but you have to change the hard-coded SELECT clauses of the main query and the last sub-query (that is, got_pos).
    MODEL or PL/SQL would probably be better ways to solve this problem.

  • 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.

  • How to split a string using sql

    Hi All,
    I've to write a query where I need to split a string, how this can be done? So let's say a column has value as 1,2,3,4,5 and I want to split this string and output it as:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    Please advise.

    Lots of articles:
    Snap this user defined function too:
    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_SplitString_Separator](@InputStr VARCHAR(MAX), @Separator VARCHAR(1))
    RETURNS @tmpTable TABLE (OutputStr VARCHAR(MAX))
    AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @TmpPOS integer
    SET @TmpPOS = CHARINDEX(@Separator,@InputStr)
    WHILE @TmpPos > 0 BEGIN
    IF @TmpPos > 0 BEGIN
    INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@InputStr,1,@TmpPos-1))))
    SET @InputStr = SUBSTRING(@InputStr, @TmpPOS + 1, LEN(@InputStr) - @TmpPos)
    SET @TmpPOS = CHARINDEX(@Separator,@InputStr)
    END ELSE BEGIN
    INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(@InputStr)))
    SET @TmpPos = 0
    END
    END
    IF LEN(@InputStr) > 0 BEGIN
    INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(@InputStr)))
    END
    RETURN
    END
    GO
    And you can use like this:
    SELECT * FROM DBO.[ufn_SplitString_Separator]('1,2,3,4,5',',')
    "If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!"

  • How to split a string with a space in between?

    Hi ABAP Guru's,
    Can you please help me out? How can I split a string into two which has a space in between?
    For example: lets suppose the string is 'LA CA USA'. How can I split this string? I have to dynamically determine the number of characters before the space therefore I cannot use number constant such as 2 or 3.

  • How to split a string using IndexOf?

    How would you split a string using indexOf and not using the .split method?
    Any help is appreciated :D
    Message was edited by:
    billiejoe

    would it be better to use the first or the second?
    int      indexOf(int ch)
    Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character.
    int      indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex)
    Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.
    I think the second would be helpful. so how do i read it?

  • 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 ?

  • How to split a string having string as delimiter instude of char?

    Hello Gurus,
    I want to split the string and work on each split string.
    The following code will do, but not exactly.
    It's split into morethan three strings, where coma find.
    But I want to split it using #,# as delimiter.
    Here is my code:
    //File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
    // This will have coma separated fields data
    // while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
    // BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
    //while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
    String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
    StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
    int iCounter=0;
    while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
    System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
    Please, give me hint.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Guru,
    Here "myfile.txt" CSV file.
    each line represented treated as a record and coma seperated string is treated as fields.
    But, one of the fields data may have the coma in the string itself. So, # or " (double quote) has been place before and end of the field data as a string qualifier.
    //File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
    // This will have coma separated fields data
    // while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
    // BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
    //while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
    String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
    StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
    int iCounter=0;
    while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
    System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
    And I would like to run this JRE 1.3.1
    Hope, String.split() in JRE 1.4.0 beta will some what resolve this.
    But, how to do it on JRE 1.3.1
    Please, give me hint.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to split a string into alfa-numerics and numerics ?

    Thru I/O Assistant.vi I queried a GPIB frequency synthesizer and get a string " FRq99999.999999Hz " ( this is a micro Herz synthesizer and the query shows the correct value ).
    The "9"'s are alfanumerics as well as the " FRq " and the " Hz ".
    Thru a string indicator I can see this complete value on the front panel.
    So far so good.
    But now :
    1.
    How could I separate the numerics ( in string format ) out of this string and convert them into numerics in order to have them displayed in some numerics graph form ?
    2.
    How could I delete the " FRq " and the " Hz " out of the string, so that the " 9 " 's remain and could be converted into numerics ?
    This result wil be the same as my question #1 but now ther
    e will be no A/N remainder.
    Thanks for any help.

    Scan From String with a format string of "%.;%[^0-9]%f"
    Explanation:
    %.; : use point as decimal comma
    %[0-9] : scan all characters not equal to 0 up to 9
    %f : scan for floating point number using the decimal comma
    indicated at the beginning.

  • How to split a string around "." expression

    My code is:
    public String removeExtn(String resource){
              String[] splittedName = resource.split(".");
    System.out.println("LENGHT IS: "+ splittedName.length);
              if(splittedName.length >= 3)
                   resource = splittedName[0]+ "." + splittedName[1];
              return resourceName;
         * @param args
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              Test obj = new Test();          
              System.out.println(obj.removeExtn("myfile.xml.sample"));
    But it doesn't split the string around "." and given the arraylength 0. But if I try to use any another character (e.g. "," or ";") it works perfectly fine.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi mansi,
    I had a same kind of problem a few days back.
    What I learned was the split() method has a string expression in it, which is usually noted as regex .
    'Regex' is just a short form for 'regular expression'
    You may directly use the string variable you would split around in some cases or may want to use a '\\' before some of the characters.
    I can't place whole information here .So, let me give you that sun site link I read it from.
    This link deals with the whole string class.
    You may want to ctrl+F and split to read on split method.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.htmlThis link talks about the regular expressions
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#sumI got his for you from that link :
    \p{Punct} Punctuation: For One of !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ This is for your knowledge.
    And if you want a quick fix just for your code...
    that'ld be using a
    split(\p{.}) in place where u used a split(.)I have not tried that ...but u may want to!
    Hope that helps.
