Inserting carriage returns in a concatenated string

Hi.....
Does anyone know how to insert carriage returns within a concatenated string in a sql statement?
i.e. Select 'John'||'Smith' from dual
I'm trying to return:
John
Smith
as opposed to John Smith
Thanks,
~Christine

As suggested chr(10) is what you need, but it's not carriage return, but line feed, carriage return is chr(13). See the difference :
TEST@db102 SQL> select 'John'||chr(10)||'Smith' from dual;
'JOHN'||CH
John
Smith
TEST@db102 SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1* select 'John'||chr(13)||'Smith' from dual
TEST@db102 SQL> /
'JOHN'||CH
Smith
TEST@db102 SQL>

How to include a carriage return in a TestStand string variable

Is there anyway to add a carriage return to a TestStand string variable. I am sending commands to an instrument using the Rs232 serial bus and they need to be terminated with a carriage return ie "\r". I know you can creat a DLL and return the string variables to TestStand but is there a beter way ?

Hi Paul,
Sorry about that, just noticed I left off the "" in my last response.
Try "\\r". that should solve it.

Add a carriage return in a Unbound String Field

Post Author: Razzle00
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
How can I add a carriage return to an unbound string field in a crystal report. I am using the bundled version of CR with MS Visual Studio 2003 & 2005. My formula needs to look something like this....
'Heading One:' + CARRIAGE RETURN + trim({tablename.fld_1}) + CARRIAGE RETURN + 'Heading Two:' + CARRIAGE RETURN + trim({tablename.fld_2})
this code all needs to be in 1 unbound string field. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Razzle

To add a carriage return, add CHRW(13)
For example:
'Heading One:' & chrw(13) & 'sample text';
will result in:
Heading One:
sample text

Insert carriage return into string

can someone tell me how to insert chars like carriage return in to strings in Labview 6.1 ?
Thanks

under the string subpallette you will have the ability to use constants for carriages return, tab, etc. Also when on the front panel you can right click on any text indicator or control and select Codes Display. This will allow you to see the /n's. Hope this helps.

Inserting carriage returns in metadata when using fcsvr_client createasset

Anyone know how to insert a carriage returns into a field when using fcsvr_client createasset? For example:
./fcsvr_client createasset paassetspot /dev/6/test.mov PAMD_CUSTNOTES="With \n line \n breaks"

You can enter newlines as you type inline without variables; you just have to escape them to the shell.
In bash, do:
./fcsvr_client createasset paassetspot /dev/6/test.mov PAMD_CUSTNOTES=$'With \nline \nbreaks'
(The difference from your initial attempt is the dollar sign and the single quotes.)
In tcsh, you could do:
./fcsvr_client createasset paassetspot /dev/6/test.mov PAMD_CUSTNOTES="With \
? line \
? breaks"

SQLLDR is inserting carriage returns.

Hello. I tried searching but didn't find anything specific to my problem. I have a lot of Access tables to load into Oracle. All of the Access tables get appended into the same Oracle table. I'm exporting the Access tables to a excel spreadsheet then saving as a csv file. I run SQLLDR and it's giving me an error on a column saying invalid number. I switch the number field over to a Varchar2 and it loads. When I view the data in enterprise manager it has a square next to the last number. I did a simple replace on the character using replace(flow_rate,chr(13),'') and inserting that data into a number field again.
I'd like to be able to skip this step in the future. Is there a way to skip the carriage returns when loading.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am. I have a bunch of Access files on a NT server. I open them and export the table to a xls file on my desktop. I open the file then save it as a CSV on the desktop. I then use WinSCP3 to move the file from the desktop to the UNIX box which is where the Oracle database is located on.
It only puts the carriage return in the last column data is in. I have workaround using the replace function but I'd like to just fix the problem.

Insert Carriage Return into CLOB

I'm creating a clob that will be sent via email as an attachment with errors that occur during a package run. How can I send a carriage return so that the lines in the attachment break up and are easier to read?
This is what I have so far.
LOOP
gv_email_body:= gv_email_body ||
'Amount'||err.amount
||'Vendor: '||err.description
||'Account: '||err.Acct
||chr(13);
END LOOP;
gv_email_body is my clob.

I resolved myself, quite simple.
chr(10)||chr(13)

How do you insert a carriage return into a string ?

Hi,
I don't know how to insert a carriage return, \n ,into a string
without the carriage return being interpeted. I am trying to build
a string called queryVariable from the file below so that it equates
to the necessary format for JDBC to execute the query.
SQL script file:
declare @x datetime
select @x = null
exec OSVBAK01...demand_dump PRODUCT,FULL,@x
go
required string format for query:
"declare @x datetime\n"+"select @x = null\n"+
"exec OSVBAK01...demand_dump PRODUCT,FULL,@x";
void Readfile(String path, String infilename) {
try {
File file = new File(path + infilename);
     if (!file.exists()) {
     System.err.println("File not found");
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader
(new FileReader(file));
     String str;
     String queryVariable = "";
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
     while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
     sb.append("\"").append(str).append("\n\"")
.append("+");
     in.close();
     queryVariable = sb.toString();
     System.out.println(queryVariable);
} catch (IOException e) {
     System.err.println(e.getCause());
queryVariable equates to the following after running the code above:
"declare @x datetime
"+"select @x = null
"+"exec OSVBAK01...demand_dump PRODUCT,FULL,@x
"+"go
"+
Any assistance anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Interesting... that would mean, of course, that in the case of concatenating string literals (outside of loops, as they say), the compiler is optimizing the code to avoid the need for using StringBuffers internally. Actually, it's good to know this, as I wasn't aware of this optimization.
However, the post wasn't meant to be serious... I hoped that was obvious. Everyone's spouting off nearly the same thing for adding strings and line separators and whatever.

Regular Expression. Select Statement. Carriage Return

Oracle 9i
Using SQLPLUS
I've read about regular expression and need some translation/explanation.
I have a large table containing a varchar2 (free text) column. Users may have inserted carriage returns when they entered the data. I need to locate rows that contain carriage returns, select and display them. Later I'll need to update those rows to replace the carriage returns with a space.
Can you assist with syntax. I believe use of a regular expression is required.
Thanks

for single characters like <CR> TRANSLATE() Doh. Never post at the end of a long day.
As the other posters have pointed out, one-for-one single character substitution is normally done with REPLACE(), although TRANSLATE() also works. The more normal role for TRANSLATE() is situations where you want to substitute multiple characters, e.g.
SQL> update <your table> set <your column> = replace (<your column> , chr(13)||chr(10), ' ');This substitutes a space for a carriage return and line feed combination.

My test instrument is outputting a 5 line string but labview only read until the carriage return. how can I get it to read the whole string?

I have a labview sub-VI reading the string being outputted by a pH meter. The meter outputs a 5 line string and labview is only reading up to each lines carriage return, there-by giving me 5 separate strings is there anyway to rectify this and have the 5 line read as one string?

Yes, LabVIEW will automatically update. What happens is that the old serial functions still exist in 7.1 and above but the code (the block diagram) has been modified to use VISA functions. Older versions of LabVIEW are fully supported in this manner. The only way you can avoid the automatic update is to have the old serial functions in an llb and your top level VI refer to these. Having any VI that was part of vi.lib in an llb is a very bad idea and the way to fix things is to remove any VIs in the llb that are part of the LabVIEW distribution.
I don't remember how the old serial config worked and what the new version does with the VISA Configure Serial Port. Your program should only have a single serial config and you might just be able to directly replace that with the VISA configure Serial Port.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
Regards
Dhwani

How to put a carriage return in a String

I am creating an error message on my class which is called and displayed on my JSP page.
In my string I want it to do a Carriage return. I used a \n however it just ignores it when displayed in JSP using scriplets.
Class declaration:
-- Want this line to start on the next line..
/** Used for the Error message for a text box. */
private final String TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG = "\n NOTE: The text box characters left count may not be accurate.";
Used in getDBErrors() method:
--errors is an array of error records displayed in the JSP
if(this.notes != null && this.notes.length() > 4000)
     errors.add("Notes Tab: Notes section cannot be greater than 4000 characters." + this.TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG);
JSP Page code:
--Get the list of Errors from the class
List pbrDBErrors = editBean.getDBErrors();
-- Display errors:
for(int l=0; l<pbrDBErrors.size(); l++)
%>
<li>
    ----------- Display ERROR Message Here
    <%= (String)pbrDBErrors.get(l) %>
</li>
<%
} %>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All the code works great - Its just the TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG is displayed on the same line as the rest of the message and it scrolls off the page.
How do it get it to do a cariage return?? \n does not seem to work.
Thanks

Function - Return More than One Value in a Concatenated String

Hi,
Is it possible for a function to return a concatenated string(combining more than one number). I am trying to return the PO number by inputting and invoice_id and code number but an invoice_id can have more than one PO with the same code number. I would like to concatenate the PO numbers with commas e.g.
10124, 10090, 10987
At the moment the function returns null for these cases that have more than one PO number.
Thanks

Also is is possible to create another function that can be called in the same script using the PO number as an IN parameter in SQL. See SQL below:
select cck.concatenated_segments as "Segment" ,
cc.code_combination_id,
NVL ( src . user_je_source_name , '**********' ) AS "Source" ,
NVL ( cat . user_je_category_name , '**********' ) AS "Category" ,

s.vendor_name as "Vendor Name",
s.segment1 as "Supplier No",
jeb . name as "Batch Name" ,

ORDER BY src.user_je_source_name ,
cat.user_je_category_name ,
jeb.name ,
jeh.name ,
cck.concatenated_segments ,
jel.je_line_num
I am using func_get_po(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id), I would like to call another function in this script that uses the PO number as an IN parameter.
For example func_get_po_requester(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id, func_get_po(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id))
Would this work?
Thanks
