How to use regular expression replace for this special characters?

hi,
I need to replace the below string, but i couldnt able to do if we use the special charaters '+', '$' . can anyone suggest a way to do this?
select REGEXP_REPLACE('jan + feb 2008','jan + feb 2008', 'feb',1,0,'i') from dual
anwers should be :- feb

you should use escape character \.
the regular expression will look like as follows:
select REGEXP_REPLACE('jan + feb 2008','jan \+ feb 2008', 'feb',1,0,'i') from dual
hope this is what you needed.
cheers,
Davide

How to use Regular expression

Hi,
I have a file that contains this format (separated by ;(semicolon) ):
user id;user name;email address;password;integer;list of integer(separated by ,(comma))
below is the example data :
abc;Abc;[email protected];password1;1;1,2
def;Def;[email protected];password;2;1,2,3
ghi;Ghi;[email protected];password;2;1
my question is how to verify the valid input for each row using regular expression..? TQ

@Op. Doing a correct validation of e-mailaddresses
is very hard using regular expressions (doingbasic
validation is however easy)

How to use regular expressions to generate test data ?

Hi
Someone can help me on what I have to do in order to create test data with regular expressions ?
For example, I want to introduce a random telephone number (XXX-XXXX) in the phone number Form Field, I want to create the phone number using regular expressions in order to test different values in each playback of the script.
I don't want to use VB or vbscript in e-tester, I'm just trying to do this with e-load nav editor and e-load
Thanks a lot

Hi and thanks for your answer!, it's a great trick ^_^
I'm doing a research on how to improve the execution speed of the scripts in e-load, so actually I'm trying to avoid the use of databanks and VB code also.
I was expecting that maybe e-load, e-load nav editor or e-tester can automatically generate test data via Regular Expressions. Someone Knows if this is possible ?
Also can anyone tell me what the option "Automatically Generated (complex)" means ? I think that this will help me a lot
*you can find this option in e-load Nav Editor when you select a parameter in the tree view, then go to the "type" listbox in the properties pane, there you will find this option and some more options like :"Databanked variable", "Custom Dynamic Value", "Function".. etc.
Thanks again

How about the statement of regular expression like for this

I what to get varians String array by one regular express for the statement like:
${user} like play ${game} in ${date}
I want to get String[] as {"user","game","date"} by one regex, by str.split(regex). I tried many times but always fail to get the result I expected. May it be possible to meet the destination?
thanks in advance

why StringBuffer was using here?So one could split the pattern into multiple lines. But it just occurred to me that one could just use string concatenation, which would look better. I don't know why I bothered to use StringBuffefer.
e.g.:
String pattern =
    "^" +           // the start of a string
    "(dog)|(cat)" + // match either "dog" or "cat" at the start of the line
    "\\s*" +        // match an arbitrary amount of whitespace
    "$";            // but don't allow anything other than whitespace after dog or cat
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(dog)|(cat)\\s*$");> isn't this look more simpler and better?
In this case, yes. I was looking for a way to make regexps more explicit, with whitespace and comments, for more complicated cases.
But those double quotes and plus signs add ugliness of their own, so a regexp would have to be pretty complex before it would be an improvement.

How to use 'about' Contain operator for this string?

Hi all,
I need to search the following string in text index using about operator.
'Advertisment for Product(Cosmetic)'
How can I do this? If I use the following sql,
SELECT keyword_id
FROM keyword_text
WHERE contains(fts_text_uc, convert('about(Advertisment for Product(Cosmetic))',
'WE8MSWIN1252', 'WE8MSWIN1252')) > 0
ORDER BY nlssort(text, 'NLS_SORT=EEC_EUROPA3')
It gives following error.
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
Any body know how to write query for this?
Thanx in advance
T.Umapathy

You'll need to quote the parantheses by putting backslashes in front of them:
select text from t where contains (text, convert('about(Advertisement for Product$Cosmetic$)', 'WE8MSWIN1252', 'WE8MSWIN1252')) > 0

How to use regular expression to find string

hi,
who know how to get all digits from the string "Alerts 4520 ( 227550 ) ( 98 Available )" by regular expression, thanks
br, Andrew

Liu,
You can use RegEx as
d+
Whether you are using CL_ABAP_REGEX class then
report zars.
data: regex   type ref to cl_abap_regex,
      matcher type ref to cl_abap_matcher,
      match   type c length 1.
create object regex exporting pattern = 'd+'
                              ignore_case = ''.
matcher = regex->create_matcher( text = 'Test123tes456' ).
match = matcher->match( ).
write match

How to use regular expression in editor?

I tried to add some text to all line in selected text in editor
ie .
x:= x+1 ; change to x:=x+1; log_something;
y:= y-1; -> y:= y-1 ; log_something;
and so on.
Then
1. select some text in editor
2.pressed Ctrl-R
3.in "text to search for" I put "^$.*$$"
4.in "replace with" I put "\1 log_something;
5.check "Regular expressions"
6. check "Selected text only"
I got "The search text "^$.*$$" was not found."
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks. But now editor wants to replace whole text, not only selected by me, regardless of <<check "Selected text only" >>
Update: if I pick "scope: all" instead of "prompted" it shows popup "text not found" but replaces text as requested.

How to do a string replacement with a special characters?

Hi there, I've a string which I need to do a replacement in but replaced and/or replacement contain a special chars.
I.e. like this:
newConvertedString = newConvertedString.replaceAll("</soapenv:Body>", "");
newConvertedString = newConvertedString.replaceAll("<default:edit-config>", "</default:edit-config>");
It does not do anything. I know that repalceAll(regexc., regexp.) but what can I use instead??
Thanks ina advance

qavlad wrote:
Thanks 'jverd'. Just one more question - do you know if there any limit on the replacement string/regex used with/in .replaceAll()??No, the only limit would be the limit on how big a string can be and how much memory you have. However, anpoorly written regex on a long String will take a long time to execute.
Seems like when I'm trying to replace one like this (and even a longer ones) it does not replace anything while it's there.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soapenv:Header><wsse:Security xmlns:wsss="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wssa="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
Then there was no match.

How to use regular expression using pattern and match concept for this scenario?

Hi Guys,
I have a string "We have 7 tutorials for Java, 2 tutorials for Javascript and 1 tutorial for Oracle"
I need to replace the numbers based on the below condition.
if more then 5, replace with many
if less then 5, replace with a few
if it is 1, replace with "only one"
below is my code, I am missing the equating part to replace the numbers could any one of you please help me out fixing this.
private static String REGEX="(\\d+)";
private static String INPUT="We have 7 tutorials for Java, 2 tutorials for Javascript and 1 tutorial for Oracle";
//String pattern= "(.*)(\\d+)(.*)";
private static String REPLACE = "replace with many";
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Pattern object
       Pattern r = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
    // Now create matcher object.
       Matcher m = r.matcher(INPUT);
       //replace the value 7 by the replace string
//How to equate the (\\d+) greater than a number and use it the below code.
              INPUT = m.replaceAll(REPLACE);
       //Print the final Result;
        System.out.println(INPUT);
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Try the following which makes use of "appendReplacement" instead with the "start" and "end" methods to locate and check the searched "regExp" string before dynamically setting the "replace" string:
String regExp = "\\d+";
String input = "We have 7 tutorials for Java, 2 tutorials for Javascript and 1 tutorial for Oracle";
String replace;
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regExp);
// get a matcher object
Matcher m = p.matcher(input);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
while (m.find()) {
   Integer x = Integer.valueOf(input.substring(m.start(), m.end()));
   replace = (x >= 5) ? "many" : (x == 1) ? "only one" : "few";
   m.appendReplacement(sb, replace);
m.appendTail(sb);
System.out.println(sb.toString());
HTH.

How can I use regular expression to match this rule

I have a String ,value is "<a>1</a><a>2</a><a>3</a>",and want to match other String like "<a>1</a><a>8</a>",if the one of the first string(like "<a>1</a>") will occur in the second string,then will return true.but I don't know how to write the regular expresstion.
Thx

Fine fine. :P
I was a little bored, so here's some code that uses Strings and a StringBuffer (though you could use a String in place of the StringBuffer). Is this perhaps better? :)
          String testMain = "<a>1</a><ab>2</ab><ab>3</ab>";
          String test = "<ab>1</ab><ab>3</ab>";
          String open = "<ab>";
          String close = "</ab>";
          StringBuffer search = new StringBuffer();
          String checkString = null;
          int lastCheck = 0;
          int start = 0;
          int finish = 0;
          boolean done = false;
          while (!done) {
               start = test.indexOf(open);
               finish = test.indexOf(close);
               if ((start == -1) || (finish == -1)) {
                    System.out.println("No more tags to search for.");
                    done = true;
               else {
                    checkString = test.substring((start + open.length()), finish);
                    search = new StringBuffer();
                    search.append(open);
                    search.append(checkString);
                    search.append(close);
                    if (testMain.indexOf(search.toString()) != -1) {
                         System.out.println("Found value: " + checkString);
                    test = test.substring(finish + close.length());
Resulting output:
Found value: 3
No more tags to search for.

How to use time series functions for this requirement

we are on OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5)
Any pointers and links are really helpful.
I have a requirement where YTD sales are displayed in a column. We wan to compare that number to what that number was last year at the same time. Tried to use TODATE, AGO and it did not work.
|| used for column seperation below.
ProductGroup || YTD Sales Rev||YTD Sales Rev 1 Year Ago||YTD Sales Rev 2 Years Ago
Climate Solutions || 1.7 mil (1/1/2011 - 7/1/2011) || 1.45 mil (1/1/2010 - 7/1/2010) || 1.15 mil (1/1/2009 - 7/1/2009)
Thanks in advance

Edited by: user566193 on Aug 10, 2011 6:06 PM

Kris,
Basically you want to combine the 2 time series functions here i.e. TODATE & AGO.
Here you go..
You can create first a YTD logical column in BMM say YTD Sales Rev..Then create another logical column with calculation as AGO(YTD Sales Rev, YEARDIM, 1) or AGO(YTD Sales Rev, MONTHDIM, 12).
Similarly, you create other measures...OBIEE 11g has time series function in Answers as well but I'd say try to create using RPD as you to calculate 1 logical column based on another. Better to push it on RPD side.
Hope this helps

Hi ,
managed to do something like this :

from testing a
group by lotid
results :

How to use Find and Replace for CR or TAB

How can I use PAGES 'Find and Replace' function to eliminate unwanted carriage returns or Tabs?
I tried to copy the backwards P and paste into Pages find window, but that doesn't work.

Copying & pasting should work, but it isn't necessary. In the Find & Replace fields hold down the Option key & hit the return or tab key.

How to use regular expressions

Hey ,
I found my self getting troubled with using regex in java.
I know that in order to use regex, i need to import two classes
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
but I become entangled with the implementation.
I need to check if inserted string contains a number inside, so i build a pattern of regex. and compiled it. then i used matcher method. but from here all methods i use, i'm getting only the first digit of the number. ---> "sdasda25" i'm getting (after using group() ) only the digit 2.
is there any method that i can pass over all chars in the string (by loop) and to check if that particular char isMatch for my pattern (That's the way to implement it in C#, and i thought that here it will be the same...).
Tanx

both of you were right, I didnt write a '+' at the end of my pattern
thank you both
