Looping through letters instead of numbers

I need to create an array of strings containing everything from A100 to X999. I tried looping through letters but I don't think it can be done
var arrayAct = new Array();
for (i = "A"; i <= "X"; i++){
for (i2 = 100; i2 <= 999; i2++){
arrayAct.push(String(i+i2));

excellent. Final code is working:
var arrayAct = new Array();
for (i = "A".charCodeAt(0); i <= "X".charCodeAt(0); i++){
for (i2 = 100; i2 <= 999; i2++){
arrayAct.push(String.fromCharCode(i)+String(i2));

Counting with letters instead of numbers

hi everybody,
today I got the requirement to represent the rownums of a recordset (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on) as letters (A, B, C, D, E and so on). First of all I thought there is a database function equal to the to_char function with RN parameter (which is able to convert numbers to roman numbers easily)... but I didn´t find anything.
So, is there a database function that I haven´t found yet or have you got some custom code for me to realize this?
ty in advance

Hi,
I don't think it's quite that simple. OP does not want a base-26 number, because there is nothing quite like a 0 in this system, and therefore nothing quite like a leading 0.
In a base-26 system, you could represent 26 ^2^ distinct numbers with strings up to 2 characters.
OP wants something where you can represent 26 ^2^ + 26 distinct numbers with strings up to 2 characters: 26 numbers with 1-character strings and a completely disjoint set of 26 ^2^ numbers with 2-character strings.
I think OP needs something more complicated, like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION to_abc
( in_num IN PLS_INTEGER -- Number to be converted
RETURN VARCHAR2
DETERMINISTIC
IS
 in_num_26 PLS_INTEGER := MOD (in_num, 26);
 rest PLS_INTEGER;
 return_txt VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
 IF in_num IS NULL
 THEN
 RETURN NULL;
 ELSIF in_num <= 0
 THEN
 RETURN '-';
 END IF;
 return_txt := CHR ( 64 + CASE
 WHEN in_num_26 = 0
 THEN 26
 ELSE in_num_26
 END
 rest := CEIL (in_num / 26);
 IF rest = 1
 THEN
 RETURN return_txt;
 ELSE
 RETURN to_abc (rest - 1) || return_txt;
 END IF;
END to_abc;Test script (including your base26 function, for comparison):

Letters instead of numbers in graph

Hi OTN,
In my ADF BC application I have a bar graph. The graph looks like this: http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/1812/graphn.png
So, my question is: is there any possibility of replacing numbers on the top of bars with letters (1 is A, 2 is B and etc.)?
Type of graph is dvt:barGraph, ADF BC, Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4

Done in with custom converter.
<dvt:markerText id="markerText1" rendered="true">
 <dvt:y1Format autoPrecision="off">
 <f:converter converterId="estimationFormatter"/>
 </dvt:y1Format>
 </dvt:markerText>Even though JDeveloper marks it as error in page source, it works.

Looping through several employee numbers

My program calculates salary for a given period for an employer and prints the result in a word doc using the function MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER. This works fine when I have only one employer. When I enter several employee numbers the information is collected correctly in a table but only the first record is printed. I have an impression that the program executes as many times as there are employee numbers instead of executing once by looping through the employee numbers before printing the result. How can I print all the information for several employers?

The shorter version of the code is as foolows:
Loop at i_result into w_rt "loop through payroll results for given period
case w_rt-lgart
"do some calulations for this employee for
 FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fsd>, <fsl> type any.
 CONCATENATE 'MF' w_rt-lgart INTO keyA_Merge.
 assign component keya_merge of structure T_MergeData to <fsd>.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
 <fsd> = <fsd> + w_rt-betrg.
 endif.
end case
endloop
append t_mergedata to Fdata
"Now create mail merge for all employees using Fdata
call function 'MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER'
 exporting
 WORD_DOCUMENT = FILEFORM
 HIDDEN = 0
 WORD_PASSWORD =
 PASSWORD_OPTION = 1
 FILE_NAME = FILEDATA
 NEW_DOCUMENT =
 DOWNLOAD_PATH = FILEPATH
 PRINT = PFPRINT
 tables
 DATA_TAB = FDATA
 FIELDNAMES = pFIELDS
My problem is that the loop executes for one Employee and then goes on to the end of the program to do the mail merge. the program then "restarts" for the necxt employee. However through each program run/cylce the table t_mergedata is appended with the correct information. I would like to first collect all this info before executing the FM for all the records in t_mergedata.

How to dial telephone numbers which have letters instead of digits?

I'm new to Blackberry products & just bought a 8330 curve. Unlike my other smartphones which had the option of a dial key pad, the Curve appears to have forgotten to include one. When a telephone number is spelled out with letters instead of digits, how do I dial it? For example: for my pharmacy refills I would dial 1-123-345-DRUG or when calling a company after hours and reach its automated answer system which prompts you to key-in the party that you are looking for their last 4 letters of their name. How do you do it. Help.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You can enter the alpha chacratars using the alt shift for nummerics.
For example: 1-800-(alt-shift) -IFlYSWA
The same applys when you are asked for alpha characters as in your example
of search by person's name.

Nested Loops...looping through one month of data at a time year by year

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an insert statement that loops through a table that has 10 years of data (2001 to 2010) month by month to minimize impact on server and commits more frequently to avoid filling up the redo logs and rollback tablespaces. The table is large, has about 40 millions records per year. Lets say the structure of the table is the following:
Customer_ID number(9),
Order_Item_1 number(6),
Order_Item_2 number(6),
Order_Item_3 number(6),
Order_date date
The table is in flat format but I want to normalize it so that it looks like the following:
Customer_ID Order_Seq Order_Item Order_date
999999999 1 555555 01-jan-2001
999999999 2 666666 01-jan-2001
999999999 3 444444 01-jan-2001
888888888 1 555555 03-jan-2001
888888888 2 666666 03-jan-2001
But because I want to loop through month by month....I need to set it up so that it loops through month by month, year by year (Using the Order Date Field) and Order_item by Order_item. Something like:
so my insert statements would be something like if I hardcoded instead of put the insert statement into a loop:
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,1,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_1 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,2,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_2 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,3,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_3 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,1,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_1 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='02';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,2,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_2 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='02';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,3,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_3 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='03';
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Does the sequence of items in an order really matter? In other words, do we really need to preserve that an item was in position 2 versus position 1? I bet that the sequence or position of each item in an order is not meaningful. They were probably numbered 1, 2, and 3 just to make them uniquely named columns so there would be three slots to hold up to 3 items in the denormalized table.
You only have about 400 million rows to insert, so it could feasibly be done in a single transaction (depending on your database environment).
You can always do a create table as select (CTAS) to help with undo / redo issues and get better performance. You could run it in parallel, and spit it out to a new table partitioned by month. Single DDL statement running in parallel making your new table--sounds good to me.
How about something like this:
CREATE TABLE ORDERS_NORMALIZED
(CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM, ORDER_DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE(ORDER_DATE)
PARTITION p200901 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('200902','YYYYMM')),
PARTITION p200902 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('200903','YYYYMM')),
PARTITION p201012 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('201101','YYYYMM'))
as SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_1, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_1 IS NOT NULL
   UNION ALL
   SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_2, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_2 IS NOT NULL
   UNION ALL
   SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_3, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_3 IS NOT NULL.....................
Out of curiosity, why not normalize it further? You could have used two tables instead of one.
One (ORDER) with:
ORDER_ID
CUSTOMER_ID
DATE
Order_id would be a new surrogate key / primary key.
Another table (ORDER_ITEM) with:
ORDER_ID
ORDER_ITEM
It would be a table that links ORDERS to ITEMS. You get the idea.

Looping through an array, i dont want duplicates

hello,
I am wondering if anyone can help me please, I have an array
containing numbers, these numbers are attached to movie clips to
determine where they are on the stage, and they are generated
randomly, so the movie clips are always in a new place when a
certain button is pressed.
My problem is that I dont know how to avoid duplicates. The
way I have done it is I have put the values in an array, and I loop
through this with a for loop, from here I take the values and link
them to another array that contains the movie clips, this all works
well but some of the movie clips are stacked on top of one another
because the same array values are coming up :S I have attached the
code, so any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, I just
havent a clue on this one :S
Many thanks any help is gratefully recieved :D

Hi. You were wise to trace the value of n. Your problem seems
to be that the tests succeed (almost always) in the very first
iteration because they truly don't match (where n = 0) and
execution breaks out. You need to adjust the logic. As one
approach, while sticking with your code and not changing it too
much (such as using more efficient int vs Number):
at the very top, define a counter var ct:int = 0;
before the testing loop, define a flag, such as var
flag:boolean = false;
you could then invert the logic in the loop and test for ==
rather than for !=
if you find a match, do--> flag = true;
and break
at the end of testing, use the flag to decide whether to
store the new value
if (!flag) {
// add to array
ct++;
also, use a while loop for controlling the whole thing-->
while(ct < max) { }
to know when you're done
You can also check out the Array functions indexOf() and
some(), to make things more efficient and faster/easier
when you're all done, you can also look into using if (a != b
&& c != d)
for efficiency, instead of nesting them separately
good luck :)

Looping through elements and assigning the proper attributes

So I'm trying to loop through all my xml elements. I then
want to loop through an element and an elements child and all
attributes assigned inside. Does this make sense, I hope so? This
is for an on going Cascading menu I have been building. So
basically every element inside an element would be a submenu of a
menu. Here is what I have....

Okay. Much better subject line this time. :)
You apparently know what a factorial is. You need to multiply the input by all numbers less than it (except for special case of 0! [but, then, you tell them to enter a number between 1 and 12]).
You don't want your loop to be "while (true)". You can either start at 1 and work your way up to the input number, or start at the input number and work your way down. You may want a 'for' loop instead of a 'while' loop.
In this (and most cases), think about how you would calculate factorials manually. Write it down in English. Then, translate it to code.
You've been working on factorials for a while now. You haven't found the algorithm yet?

Looping through an array to get the index for each measure in a combo box

Hi folks,
I am working on a web application that has two combo boxes, one for year (called yearcombo) and for measures (called myURL) for that selected year, and also two radiobuttons (in radioBtnGroup). I have two years and a bunch of measure for each year. I have a map tool tip that when you mouse over the county you see a measure for that specific year. However I have a bunch of measures for each year and I want to be able to loop through the measures (which are in an array collection inside a combobox) so my "if" expression can find every selectedIndex and bring me the tool tip for that selected measure for that selected radio button. Right now I would have to create if statements for each measure (each selectedIndex inside the myURL combobox)and each radiobutton (inside the radioBtnGroup) instead of creating a if expression to get a map tip tool for each measure. I know I would have to create a loop to search for these indexes and enter that in the if expression and also change the graphic.attributes to reflect the right measure or index selected. Do you API for Flex wizards can give me any tips on how to code this according to my code below ? Any help is greatly appreciated! (the print scree is attached)
Below is the code snippet:
if (yearcombo.selectedItem.year == "2007" && myURL.selectedIndex == 0 && radioBtnGroup.selectedValue == 0)
fLayer.definitionExpression = "DATA_YEAR_TXT like '2007'"
var graphic:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
graphic.symbol = mouseOverSymbol;
var htmlText:String = graphic.attributes.htmlText;
var textArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
try{
textArea.htmlText = myURL.selectedItem.label + graphic.attributes.ForDirIndOut.toString()
myMap.infoWindow.content=textArea
myMap.infoWindow.label = graphic.attributes.NAME;
myMap.infoWindow.closeButtonVisible = false;
myMap.infoWindow.show(myMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY));}
catch(error:Error) {
trace("Caught Error: "+error);
And below is the combo boxes with the arrays

Looping through inbox items on timer event is really slow...?

Hi,
I have an issue with a email sync event that I am running. Essentially, I am given a date (the received date of the last email synced) via another process and then need to return all the emails in the user's inbox the where receivedDate > this given
date.
I have a timer object than triggers my sync event every 15 mins. I also have a button that allows the user to manually activate the sync - this basically changes the timer to 3 secs and so it fires the sync event.
If the sync event is fired manually as per above, it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs) and I can stored the sender/recipient and received time data I require from these in a list of objects, which I sync later on in a background
process. During this loop the main UI freezes up, which is fine since I show a progress bar so the user knows how long they need to wait, and a large sync like this should only occur on their first sync theoretically. If the first sync event is
fired without the manual input - so still called from the same timer event, but just on the normal 15 min event, not the shortened 3 sec one - then it runs differently. The sync takes a lot lot longer, and the UI doesn't freeze up.
I presume this might be because it is fired slightly differently and does not hog up the main thread, but rather shares it with normal Outlook operations. Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the
main thread to access the email items...? Either way, I'm not quite sure how this is happening since the only difference is the user pressing a button that changes the timer.interval. The code that is run is the same, and the button press doesn't
trigger the actual sync itself.
Is there a way I can force this first sync to always run solely in the main thread, it can freeze up Outlook and show the progress bar until it is done? Ideally any subsequent syncs would then be run with no progress bar and no freezing up of the UI.
Many thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom,
> Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the main thread to access the email items...?
You shouldn't use another threads when dealing with the Outlook object model. Office applications use the single threaded apartment (STA) model and don't support multithreading. All calls made from another threads are marshalled by Outlook to the main
thread. However, you can use a low-level code (Extended MAPI) to access the data from secondary threads. For example, you can use Redemption which is based on Extended MAPI.
> it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs)
Instead of looping over all items in the folder I'd recommend using the
Find/FindNext
or
Restrict methods of the Items class. You can read more about them in the following articles:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
You can use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer class which uses the main thread for invoking the Tick event. The .NET
Framework Class Library provides three different timer classes: System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Threading.Timer. Each of these classes has been designed and optimized for use in different situations. The Comparing
the Timer Classes in the .NET Framework Class Library article examines the three timer classes and helps you gain an understanding of how and when each class should be used.
Also you may find the
AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful. Pay special attention to the fact that the search is performed in another thread. You don’t need to run another thread manually since the
AdvancedSearch method runs it automatically in the background. See
Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.

BRF : Looping through a table (e.g. Do Until or While, etc..)

Hello Colleagues,
In BRFPLus I understand we can create Loop Expressions that allow you to loop through a table and perform different Actions based on the retrieved contents of the table.
We are not using BRFPLus (but the old BRF instead). Does anyone know how to build Loop Expressions in BRF without the use of ABAP Function Modules?
Your feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivor M.

Looping through a table

how do I loop through the following table and get it to insert records into another depending on the number that it finds in the value column. eg if there is 8 in the value column, 8 records should be inserted into another table with the same ID
i forgot to paste an example table
ID
Name
Value
1
john
12
2
sarah
20
3
Tom
5
I want it to look at the value column and if it is 12 it should add 12 rows with the same ID into another table. eg in the new table there will be 12 rows for John with an ID of 1. For Sarah there will be 20 rows with an ID of 2.
sukai

Sure!
DECLARE @sourceTable TABLE (ID INT, Name VARCHAR(20), Value INT)
INSERT INTO @sourceTable (ID, Name, Value) VALUES (1, 'john', 12),(2, 'sarah', 20),(3, 'Tom', 5)
This mocks up your source table (where your data is coming from). We're simply creating a table variable, and populating it with your example data.
DECLARE @numbers TABLE (value INT)
WHILE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @numbers) < (SELECT MAX(Value) FROM @sourceTable)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @numbers (value) VALUES ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @numbers)+1)
END
This creates an example numbers table. The while causes the code to loop until there are as many rows as the maximum value for the Value column in your example data. Each time the loop iterates it inserts a row, causing the COUNT(*) to be one more each time,
we add one to that, and insert it into the numbers table.
INSERT INTO destinationTable
SELECT s.ID, s.Name, s.Value
FROM @sourceTable s
INNER JOIN @numbers n
ON s.Value >= n.value
ORDER BY s.ID
This performs an insert select to a made up table. We join the rows from @sourceTable (your example data) to the @numbers table where the Value column from @sourceTable is less than or equal to the value column in the numbers table. If s.Value is 1
we'll perform this join once. If it's 2, twice and so on. This works because of the way we set up the numbers table. If we had insert multiple 1's it would cause additional joins.
A numbers table is a handy tool to have for things like this were you need iterations. Create a database (or schema) on your database and call it something like 'Toolbox'. In that database/schema you can put things like this that have little to do with your
actual data, but come in handy. You can make your numbers table as long as you need. It totally wouldn't hurt at all to have a numbers table with hundreds of thousands of rows. They're just int's, they don't eat much :).
Let me know if you'd like anything clarified more.

Loop through checkbox in Oracle APEX 4.2 (using JQuery Mobile)

Hello!
I want question text and a report containing the possible answers is shown on a page. An answer can be selected by clicking on the checkbox. After hitting the submit button, the selected checkboxes containing the Answer Text, an answer_id and the current session_id are to be inserted into a table within the database.
Within Oracle APEX 4.2, I am using a classic report to achieve this. Thich is actually a bad solution, because the checkboxes within the report are shown as simple HTML checkboxes, instead of neat JQueryMobile checkboxes). Anyway, this is my current solution:
Is use this code for creating the classic report:
SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,answer_id), answer_id, answer_text
FROM ANSWERS
WHERE question_ID = :P10_Question_ID;
The insert of the data is done via the on submit process "On Submit - After Computations and Validations"
This is the code for the on submit process:
DECLARE var_session_id NUMBER := :P0_SESSION_ID;
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
INSERT INTO STUDENT_ANSWERS (answer_id, answer_text, session_id)
SELECT a.answer_id, a.answer_text, var_session_id
FROM ANSWERS a WHERE a.answer_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i)
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
But this solution does not work. Instead, nothing is inserted into the database.
I don't know why the process is not inserting into the database, maybe there is something wrong with this line here WHERE a.answer_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i) ?
I even tried a simple update process for testing purposes, but this doesnt work either:
BEGIN
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
UPDATE STUDENT_ANSWERS SET text = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i))
WHERE am_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
Can anybody tell me how to loop through a checkbox within ORACLE APEX 4.2 and how to insert the values ANSWER_ID, ANSWER_TEXT and SESSION_ID into the table STUDENT_ANSWERS after hitting the submit button? If you would know how to do it without using a report but a simple checkbox, this would be even more helpful for me!

I would start by putting this after submit, to check the contents of the array.
apex_debug.message('count:'||apex_application.g_f01.COUNT);
FOR i IN 1..apex_application.g_f01.COUNT LOOP
apex_debug.message('i:'||i||':'||apex_application.g_f01(i));
END LOOP;
Then compare the contents with your answers table.

Upload XLS File, Loop through rows query a DB

What I would like to do is enable the user to upload an excel
spreadsheet with one column and many row of IP's. Then put the ips
in a list or array and loop through the list and query a table to
get the IPs that match the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have some similar apps except that, instead of uploading a
file, the users copy and paste the column into a text area. Then we
do this:

<cfset
hscnumbers=Replace(form.hscnumbers,chr(13)&chr(10),",","ALL")>

<cfif find(",", hscnumbers) gt 0 and right(hscnumbers, 1)
is ",">
<cfset hscnumbers = left(hscnumbers, len(hscnumbers) -
1)>
</cfif>
And then we have a list to send to the db.
