I am trying to parse a string field

I am reading a field from a table that contains several comma seperated control fields. Like this -
   TYPE=A,CREATE USER=amanger                       ,MODIFIED USER=amanger                       ,SHORT PAID ITEM 03P89-24 TO
   CONTRACT PRICE OF 5.36 EA PER BUYER LYNNE HENRY.
I need to check position 6 to see if it is an A or a C, if it is then I need return all the rest of the string after the 3rd comma. In this case it would be
   SHORT PAID ITEM 03P89-24 TO CONTRACT PRICE OF 5.36 EA PER BUYER LYNNE HENRY.
I tried this
   if (Left ({L_HAPI.OBJECT}, 6) = "A")
   or (Left ({L_HAPI.OBJECT}, 6) = "C")
   then Split ({L_HAPI.OBJECT}, "," , 3 )
   else ""
but it did not work.
I need to set up a formula that will work, can anybody help me?

This should do the trick for you...
IF RIGHT(SPLIT({TableName.StringField}, ",") [1], 1) IN ["A", "C"]
THEN SPLIT({TableName.StringField}, ",") [4] ELSE ""

StringListToXML not parsing a string list with quote

Hi,
I've been trying to parse this string out to XML but not successful due to the quotes.
Sample string:
A Test,N/A,N/A,-,N/A,N/A,-,N/A,N/A,-,"1,454","1,604",10%,100.0%,69.0%,(31%),375,302,(19%),375,208,(44%), 25.34 , 40.79 ,(61%),10,-
I've leaving the properties as they are and also tried to set the StripQuotes to 0. And it is still returning the value "1,454" as 2 row items, 1 and 454.
Is this a bug? If it is, is there any other way to tokenize the string?
Cheers,
Yin San

Hi Sascha,
I'm using 11.5.3. StringListToXML does not treat "1,234" as one item. With StripQuotes set to True, return items are 1 and 234. With StripQuotes set to False, return items are "1 and 234".
So, I'm going to try Rick's suggestion to use a WebScrapper and Regex.

Is there a problem on the pattern of SimpleDateFormat to parse a String ?

Hello,
I tried to parse a String to a Date using a SimpleDateFormat.
I must be able to have on the pattern something like : "yyyyMMdd_HH00".
To get a String from a Date with SimpleDateFormat.format(Date date) it works well, but when a try to parse a String into a Date with SimpleDateFormat.parse(String date) I get a : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date.
I try it on a JVM 1.4 and 1.5 for the same result.
An exemple of code :
          String pattern = "yyyyMMdd_HH00";
          SimpleDateFormat currentFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
          Date date = currentFormat.parse("20091223_1000");It seems that adding the '00' after 'HH' raise the exception...
Has the 'HH00' a particular meaning like on Oracle 'HH24' ?
Is there a way to add number after the 'HH' ?
Thanks
Edit :
Oh yeah, I forgot, I tryied to use the pattern "yyyyMMdd_HH'00'" using '' to escape the 00 without better result...
Edited by: Jeremy.Antonucci on 23 déc. 2009 15:25

The context of this pattern :
To get a file on a http server, I must build an Url String with a filename using the current date.
I want to be able to change easily the pattern on a file parameters.
The date must be ending with 00 for the minutes.
I may have use a pattern with 'HHmm' and suppress the minutes but if it is change on the futur the code will not work...
As I can't say if in the futur the url will change for the date pattern or not, I decide to use a pattern like "yyyyMMdd_HH00" that works fine for everything else than parsing a string.
I create a String date based on the current date on UTC using this pattern and keep it to use it to compose an Url String.
After I need to know how much time I must sleep before the next execution (on each Hour), so I use this date +1 hour to see if the currentDate during this calculation is higher than this date+1... (I'm surely not clear, but it is not the real problem just for curious ^^)
A dirty solution is to avoid this problem is to catch this case and do substitution on a temporary pattern of the 'HH00' with 'HHmm'. It's really dirty because nothing says that later a 'HH00' mean always 'HHmm' but I have nothing better...
          String pattern2 = pattern;
          if (pattern.matches(".*HH00$")) {
               pattern2=pattern.substring(0, (pattern.length()-2))+"mm";
          }Where can I do this bug report ?
Do you see a good solution ?

Write STRING fields in SMARTFORM

Hi folks.
I'm trying to write a STRING field in a SMARTFORM but only the first 255 characters are writen in output.
It's a resctriction? Is there any workaround?
Helpfull ideas will be rewarded.
Best regards.
Thanks in advance.
Valter Oliveira.

No string fields.
Made a workaround, like several 255 variables in a text element.
Thanks.

FTP/File Adapter - Error parsing empty date field

I have an FTP Adapter and I defined a native schema using the JDeveloper FTP Adapter wizard (CSV file). One of the fields is a date specified in this format: "M/d/yyy". I have defined the coresponding element in the schema as follows:
*<xsd:element name="DOB" type="xsd:date" nxsd:dateFormat="M/d/yyyy" nxsd:style = "terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy=""">*
This seems to work correctly and read the date into an xml date variable. However if the date is empty, it just can't figure out what to do and throws an exception saying that it can't parse an empty field.
Is there any attribute that I can add to indicate that the field should be ignored if empty or non-parseable?
I know that I can get the data in as string and do the conversion myself later (which is not trivial either) but why complicate things. I can't believe that the creators of the FTP adapter did not accomodate for empty fields.
Thanks, I appreciate any suggestions.
BTW, I tried adding the "nillable=true" attribute but it didn't work either.
Edited by: user10770892 on Jun 21, 2011 10:38 AM

Yatan,
If I change the nillable true and minoccurs properties, BPEL is not working.
Is there any other way to handle blank lines ?
Thanks

Parsing and String tokenizer

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.

Parsing XML string with XPath

Hi,-
I am trying to parse an XML string with xpath as follows but I am getting null for getresult.
I am getting java.xml.xpath.xpathexpressionexception at line where
getresult = xpathexpression.evaluate(isource); is executed.
What should I do after
xpathexpression = xPath.compile("a/b");in the below snippet?
Thanks
String xmlstring ="..."; // a valid XML string;
Xpath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newPath();
xpathexpression = xPath.compile("a/b");
// I guess the following line is not correct
InputSource isource = new inputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlstring.getBytes())); right
getresult = xpathexpression.evaluate(isource);My xml string is like:
<a>
<b>
<result> valid some more tags here
</result>
</b>
<c> 10
</c>
</a>Edited by: geoman on Dec 8, 2008 2:30 PM

I've never used the version of evaluate that takes an InputSource. The difficulty with using it is that it does not save the DOM object. Each expression you evaluate will have to create the DOM object, use it once and then throw it away. I've yet to write a program that only needs one answer from an XML document. Usually, I use XPath to locate somewhere in a document and then read "nearby" content, add new content nearby, delete content, or move content. I'd suggest you may want to parse the XML stream and save the DOM Document.
Second, all of the XPath expressions search from a "context node". I have not had good luck searching from the Document object, so I always get the root element first. I think the expression should work if you use the root as the context node. You will need one of the versions of evaluate that uses an Object as the parameter.

Parsing formatted String to Int

How can I parse formatted string to Integer ?
I have a formated string like this $900,000 and I need to convert it to 900000 so I could do calculations with it.
I tried something like this
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(request.getLocale());
ttlMargin=nf.parse(screenVal);I got this exception
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "$1,050,000""

I am working on the JSP file that provides
margins,sales etc. I am reading this data off the
screen where it is beeing displayed according to the
accounting practices.
That's why I get it as a formatted string and why I
am trying covert that string to the numberScreen-scraping is a problematic, bad design. It sounds like what you really want is to call a web service which returns its results as data that a program can understand (XML, for example), not HTML (which is meant more for humans to read). I know, you probably can't change the design at this point... just food for thought. In the meantime, you'll probably have to manually parse those strings yourself by stripping out the '$' and ',' characters and then use parseInt on the result.

Facing Problem in parsing a string to date

Edirectory ldap, what do I put in the DN String field?

Experts,
I am trying to configure LDAP authentication. I've done this many, many times against Active Directory. In AD it is usually DOMAIN_NAME\%LDAP_USER%.
This has been driving me nuts today. We are running eDirectory. I have my server's IP address and port.
What do I put in the DN String field? I've tried many combinations of TREENAME\%LDAP_USER%, nothing seems to work.
If it is more complicated than that, where do I look in NDS to figure out what I need to put in the DN String field?
Thanks!
Dan

Dan,
I'm actually surprised you had success with that on AD as I never did. I recommend you get a little lower level and use DBMS_LDAP. Here's a little sample code to get you started:
   FUNCTION ldap_authenticate (
      p_username IN VARCHAR2
    , p_password IN VARCHAR2
      RETURN BOOLEAN
   AS
      l_dn      VARCHAR2(256) := p_username || '@domain.com';
      l_bind    PLS_INTEGER;
      l_session DBMS_LDAP.SESSION;
   BEGIN
      IF p_username IS NULL
      THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'A username must be supplied');
      END IF;
      IF p_password IS NULL
      THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20002,'A password must be supplied');
      END IF;
      dbms_ldap.use_exception := TRUE;
      l_session := dbms_ldap.init(
         hostname => 'server.domain.com'
       , portnum   => 389
      l_bind := dbms_ldap.simple_bind_s(
         ld      => l_session
       , dn      => l_dn
       , passwd => p_password
      l_bind := dbms_ldap.unbind_s(l_session);
      RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      RETURN FALSE;
END;Regards,

Parse xml string not file

Hi
Can anyone help me I am trying to parse a xml file that is in a StringBuffer and not a file.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks ;>

You can create a StringReader object from your StringBuffer. Once you have a StringReader object, you can create an InputSource object. Then, you can parse the InputSource with a DocumentBuilder object. I enclosed the code to illustrate. The method printXml is only used to check that the XML string is properly parsed and retrieved.

              print(childNode,strXml);
         strXml.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
         strXml.append("</" + elementName + ">");
}Hope this helps.

Parsing a string in PL/SQL?

I am parsing a string in PL/SQL and at a certain point(Length 45) of the string I would like to add a carriage return (Chr(10)), then continue with the string at that point and then again if the string is greater than Length 45 add a carriage return.
I program in Powerbuilder and have figured it out, but I have a problem when trying to add a carriage return at a certain point in the string in PL/SQL. There is the REPLACE(), but that will replace everything, but I only want to add it at that certain point of the string. With the PB function I can add the carriage return at a certain point, see code:
Li_pos = PosA( Ps_data, '*')
DO WHILE Li_pos > 0
ll_length = Li_pos - ll_old_pos
IF ll_length > 45 THEN
ll_old_pos = Li_pos
Ps_data = ReplaceA( Ps_data, Li_Pos, 1, ls_carriage_rtn) **This function gives me the ability to add a carriage return at a certain point in the string. **
Li_pos = PosA( Ps_data, '*', Li_pos + 1 + ls_carriage_rtn)
ELSE
Li_pos = PosA( Ps_data, '*', Li_pos + 1)
END IF
LOOP
I have incorporated the same logic in PL/SQL but I am looking for something similar to the ReplaceA function in PB, that will replace at a certain point in a string. I use an '*' as a placeholder and measure the length. Below is the PL/SQL code:
t_pos NUMBER;
t_old_pos NUMBER;
t_length NUMBER;
BEGIN
t_old_pos := 0;
t_pos := INSTR(in_model_list, '*');
WHILE t_pos > 0 LOOP
t_length := t_pos - t_old_pos; -- This looks at current position minus the old position, measures the length
IF t_length > 45 THEN
t_old_pos := t_pos;
*** add that carriage return
t_pos := INSTR(in_model_list, '*', t_pos + 1 + Chr(10)); -- get the new position
NULL;
ELSE
t_pos := INSTR(in_model_list, '*', t_pos + 1);
END IF;
NULL;
END LOOP;
Here is the data, what it looks like: William 112,* 500-A,* 500-U,* 520,* 560-A,* 560-E,* 680-E,* 680-F,* 680-V*
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
William
