Looping through a string to search for a number?

I've been trying to use substr to loop through some text in a textfield I have cast as number. Although there is a problem with this, substr only goes through strings so if I type something as a number, it wont loop through t. Is there a similar function to loop through numbers?

use the string methods to find what you're looking for. you can cast as a number when you've finished using the string methods.
or, you can use the regular expression class.

Best way to loop through multiple rows to search for a count result

I have a script where I'm trying to find a Rollup row without any children. I have created a SQL statement to do this, but I can only input one point at a time. If the count is greater than 0 then i'm good to go. If the count is 0 then I want to know about it.
select count (*) from (Select * From ESSBASE_FCS.Ham
where hier_pt like (Select substr(hier_pt, 1,8)||'%' as hcy_pt
From ESSBASE_FCS.Ham
Where Hier_Pt = '412375....')
And Cctr_Or_Rollup 'Rollup')
What is the best way to develop a SQL script that searches through all my Hier_pt's and return everything with a count of 0, instead of manually inputing each hier_pt at a time?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
Please provide table structure, sample data and expected output.
Additionally when you put some code please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
I noticed also that you have posted the same question here: {message:id=10678000}
If you move your question to another forum please mark the previous question as answered.

Searching for the number in the bigint value...

HI!
Could anybody help me with the searching for the number in the bigint value. ex:
9567423742840 i need to get only the 2nd and 3rd number (56) from this value...
^^
and the same thing with symbols in the strings..
is there any special function in jsp available for that?
thanks

try looking into the String class. There should be a substring or similar function that lets u get only a part of another string. You can convert the int into a string by doing something like new Integer(yourIntValue).toString() and then using that string for your substring function. There may be other ways to do it too, but this is the one I remember off the top of my head.
Hope it helps

Loop through Query String in ASP

Hi,
I am new to ASP and am trying to loop through values in a
query string
separated by a comma, for example:
/site/search/results.asp?ids=19736a,20248a,14952a,19956a
I need to construct SQL from this something like
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE
ID = 19736a OR
ID = 20248a OR
ID = 14952a OR
ID = 19956a
I am just unsure on how to separate all the values from the
query string.
Thanks for your advice.

Oh, in the example below there is no space between the id
numbers in the
querystring.
eg. ids=1,23,456,2
If you do have spaces then you need to adjust the split
accordingly
eg. ids=1, 23, 456, 2
you would use myIdArray=split(idStr,", ")
note the space after the comma.
just make sure you always use the same format in your
querystring

How to search for a number located anywhere in string

I am trying to search a string for a number (integer or float) without knowing its index in the string and to extract it - whether in numeric or string format. e.g. "the number 52.63 appears in this string"; I want to extract/identify "52.63"
The functions I come across seem to expect the index to be known or the number to be at index 0. How can I achieve this?
Best regards.

Searching for a number that is not black

I need to search a long document for a number at the start of a paragraph that is not black in color. Is there a way to do this in InDesign?
With GREP I can look for ^\d+ to find paragraphs starting with a number, but I don't know how to specify the formatting constraint.

It can't be done -- or rather, not in one go.
A four-pass method is this: add Underline to all numbers. Remove underline from all numbers that are black. Check remaining underlined numbers. Remove underline from all numbers.
You should do this, of course, with an attribute of which you are sure you didn't use!

Fastest way to loop through a group of strings

I am trying to optimize a small class that loops through an array of strings and compares to see if another string equals one of the values, for example:
String test = "this is test5";
String array[] = {"test1","test2","test3, test4,test5,test6,test7,test8"};
for(int i = 0;i < array.length; i++)
if (test.endsWith(array))
return array[i];
}The array that I am using holds closer to 15 values, but this loop can be hit thousands of times a day. My question is, are there any faster ways to loop through multiple strings than using arrays? How do array lists or maps compare?

My question is, are there any faster ways to loop through multiple strings than using arrays? How do array lists or maps compare?Before you worry about taking something simple that works and complicating it to make it faster, make sure there's a reason to do so.
If you do in fact need to make it faster, there are several different things you could do, but which one is best depends on a number of factors specific to your particular requirements and use cases.

Search for a word in files

Hi all,
i need a help here..
i am doing document search in my jsp application...i have all my files inside a folder..folder contains many folders and inside many files are there..if i specify one string it should display all the files that contains that word.
for example if i search a word "welcome" if any file that contains welcome at any part of document it should specify that file along with the path and then the file should open when i click the link..pls tell me how to do that..

Have a recursive method that takes as a parameter a File, an ArrayList of matches so far, and the String to search for. In your servlet, call it with a blank arraylist. Then iterate through the arrayList, and instead of outputting the path on the file system, output the URL.
     private void fileSearch(File currdir, ArrayList matches, String word) throws IOException{
          File[] fileset = currdir.listFiles();
          for (int i =0; i <fileset.length; i++){
               if (fileset.isDirectory()) fileSearch(fileset[i], matches, word);
               else{
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileset[i]));
                    boolean found=false;
                    while (reader.ready() && !found){
                         String currline = reader.readLine();
                         if (currline.indexOf(word)!=-1){
                              matches.add(fileset[i].getAbsolutePath());
                              found=true;
                    reader.close();

Looping through an array to insert contents into an HTML table

Im trying to loop through a String array and insert the contents into an html table, unfortunately my coding is only filling in the first row in the table and ignores any additional info. Im using webservices that is connecting to a table in the database.
Info = ID + ";" + played + ";" + won + ";" + lost + ";" is the String im pulling into my client.
<table border = "1">
<tr>
<td><b>ID</b></td>
<td><b>played</b></td>
<td><b>won</b></td>
<td><b>lost</b></td>
</tr>
<%
try {
     leglessclient.LegendServiceService service = new leglessclient.LegendServiceService();
     leglessclient.LegendService port = service.getLegendServicePort();
String Info = port.displayLog();
String[] log = Info.split(";");
out.println("<tr>");
for (int a = 0 ; a < log.length; a++) {
for (int b = 0 ; b < 4; b++){
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
b++;
out.println("</tr>");
out.println("</table>");
} catch (Exception ex) {
     // TODO handle custom exceptions here
%>
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks!

firstly, if you have multiple rows.. you need to start each row with <tr> and end with a </tr>. You just have one in the beginning and end,which will obivously give data in one row.
out.println("<tr>");
for (int a = 0 ; a < log.length; a++) {
for (int b = 0 ; b < 4; b++){
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
b++;
out.println("</tr>");

My search media bar brings up the stuff I want when I search for it but won't let me click on the results for anything.

Hi guys, I've been having troubles with my search bar for searching media in itunes. It worked a while ago but now when I search it brings up results and the results I want but it won't let me click them for anything. I can't go to the song, album or artist or add it to the song queue. It's really annoying to go through my library and search for a specific song without using the search. Please Help!
Thank You!

you said you turned your phone off. was it a reboot, or an off? Ive noticed that if the memory is low and you have
a lot of apps or processes running, it really causes the system lag. Try holding down the top button and home button at the same time. Then wait until it has powered down. In 60 sec or so, restart it the same way. Should fix your issue. There is an app I use called Lite Scan. It allows me to see what is running and it will free up 30mg at a time. Not much granted but enuf to keep the system from going to a crawl.
as far as your device in itunes goes, open itunes, without your phone connected. look in the advance settings and make sure everything is as it should be. Back up your data and try again. good luck

How to loop through attributes

Im trying to loop through some XML and use the two attributes
name and href for each button im creating. so far all I have been
able to do is onfuse myself, well not totally - I can pull the
first name attribute from the firstChild. But I have not been able
to successfully assign it to a button. I took out my button code as
it was probably wrong. Heres what Ive tried...

The arrays are built in an event, so before that event
happens, they are undefined. After the event, you can access the
arrays as usual. The trace(menus); call is before the
myXML_xml.load("menu2.xml"); line, which triggers the loading, so
it can't trace any values. It also wouldn't trace anything when
placed directly after the load() call, because the loading will
take some time until all data is loaded and the onLoad event is
fired. That makes it a bit hard to use the data outside the event,
because you must assert that it's loaded when used. The onLoad
event is just perfect for that, so it should be done there, just
after the loop through the xml nodes.
For the submenus, the attached code will place the childnode
data in subMenus. The arrays must be declared outside the event,
otherwise they get deleted when the event finishes.

I need to loop through 1 table and read another until a value changes

i need to read a table and sum the quantity field until a reason code changes. how do I go about doing this?

sort itab by reasoncode.
Loop at itab.
quantiy = quanity + itab-quantity.
at end of reasoncode.
jtab-reasoncode = itab-reasoncodee.
jtab-sum = quantity.
append jtab.
clear quantity.
endat
endloop.
or
sort itab by reasoncode.
loop at itab.
at end of reasoncode.
sum.
jtab = itab.
append jtab.
endat.
endloop.
or
let us say itab and jtab are two tables and you want to loop through itab and read jtab for reasoncodes.
if jtab has only one entry for each entry in itab then use read else use loop.
loop at itab.
loop at jtab where reasoncode = itab-reasoncode.
quantiy = quantiy + jtab-quanity.
endloop.
endloop.
or
loop at itab.
read table jtab with key reasoncode = itab-reasoncode.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
endif
endloop.

Search for one word in the adress bar with google when proxy is enabled.

I have downloaded Firefox Version 30 and set up my company proxy. I use the address bar to search at google. Since I have configured the proxy I'm not able to search for only one word like 'fibonacci', if I search for 'fibonacci number' it still works.
What's wrong?
Many thanks.
Cheers!

You can use a keyword search to search via the location bar if the proxy doesn't report that a DNS look up has failed and Firefox thus doesn't send a search request.
You can add a keyword to an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines if you click the search engines icon on the search bar.
