Missing HEX characters from scanned string

Hi everyone,
I have a program which scans a continuous string of serial data which is divided into header, data and checksum. I have replaced the serial part of my code with a simple string input to simulate the data input for testing and as in the diagram below you can see 0A, 0C and 0D are missing and I can't figure out why. Currently it is an exercise to parse out all the data I need for a data aquisition system. If anyone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. This was in a different thread but it has dissapeared into the ether. Here is the picture illustrating the problem.
Thanks again
Stirling

You are doing all this way too complicated. There is absolutely no need to use "scan from string" to simply chop up a string into parts. Use string subset instead (in a loop).
You also have way too much duplicate code. You can operate on arrays directly and use array indicators for the channels. This reduces the complexity of your diagram 10 fold!!!
I don't have your serial hardware, but attached is a small code fragment (LV 8.0) that seems to do about the same thing with your string using 10% of your code. Modify as needed. Let me know if anything is not clear.

Removing non english characters from my string input source

Guys,
I have problem where I need to remove all non english (Latin) characters from a string, what should be the right API to do this?
One I'm using right now is:
s.replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]", "");//s is a string having chinese characters.
I'm looking for a standard Solution for such problems, where we deal with multiple lingual characters.
TIA
Nitin

I have a string which has Chinese as well as Japanese characters, and I only want to remove only Chinese characters.
What's the best way to go about it?Oh, I see!
Well, the problem here is that Strings don't have any information on the language. What you can get out of a String (provided you have the necessary data from the Unicode standard) is the script that is used.
A script can be used for multiple languages (for example English and German use mostly the same script, even if there are a few characters that are only used in German).
A language can use multiple scripts (for example Japanese uses Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana).
And if I remember correctly, then Japanese and Chinese texts share some characters on the Unicode plane (I might be wrong, 'though, since I speak/write neither of those languages).
These two facts make these kinds of detections hard to do. In some cases they are easy (separating latin-script texts from anything else) in others it may be much tougher or even impossible (Chinese/Japanese).

Removing non-alpha-numeric characters from a string

How can I remove all non-alpha-numeric characters from a string? (i.e. only alpha-numerics should remain in the string).

Or even without a loop ?
Extract from the help for the Search and Replace String function :
Right-click the Search and Replace String function and select Regular Expression from the shortcut menu to configure the function for advanced regular expression searches and partial match substitution in the replacement string.
Extract from the for the advanced search options :
[a-zA-Z0-9] matches any lowercase or uppercase letter or any digit. You also can use a character class to match any character not in a given set by adding a caret (^) to the beginning of the class. For example [^a-zA-Z0-9] matches any character that is not a lowercase or uppercase letter and also not a digit.

Removing characters from a String (concats, substrings, etc)

This has got me pretty stumped.
I'm creating a class which takes in a string and then returns the string without vowels and without even numbers. Vowels and even characters are considered "invalid." As an example:
Input: "hello 123"
Output: "hll 13"
The output is the "valid" form of the string.
Within my class, I have various methods set up, one of which determines if a particular character is "valid" or not, and it is working fine. My problem is that I can't figure out how to essentially "erase" the invalid characters from the string. I have been trying to work with substrings and the concat method, but I can't seem to get it to do what I want. I either get an OutOfBoundsException throw, or I get a cut-up string that just isn't quite right. One time I got the method to work with "hello" (it returned "hll") but when I modified the string the method stopped working again.
Here's what I have at the moment. It doesn't work properly for all strings, but it should give you an idea of where i'm going with it.
public String getValidString(){
          String valid = str;
          int start = 0;
          for(int i=0; i<=valid.length()-1; i++){
               if(isValid(valid.charAt(i))==false){
                         String sub1 = valid.substring(start, i);
                         while(isValid(valid.charAt(i))==false)
                              i++;
                         start=i;
                         String sub2 = valid.substring(i, valid.length()-1);
                         valid = sub1.concat(sub2);
          return valid;
     }So does anybody have any advice for me or know how I can get this to work?
Thanks a lot.

Thansk for the suggestions so far, but i'm not sure how to implement some of them into my program. I probably wasn't specific enough about what all I have.
I have two classes. One is NoVowelNoEven which contains the code for handling the string. The other is simply a test class, which has my main() method, used for running the program.
Here's my class and what's involved:
public class NoVowelNoEven {
//data fields
     private String str;
//constructors
     NoVowelNoEven(){
          str="hello";
     NoVowelNoEven(String string){
          str=string;
//methods
     public String getOriginal(){
          return str;
     public String getValidString(){
          String valid = str;
          int start = 0;
          for(int i=0; i<=valid.length()-1; i++){
               if(isValid(valid.charAt(i))==false){
                         String sub1 = valid.substring(start, i);
                         while(isValid(valid.charAt(i))==false)
                              i++;
                         start=i;
                         String sub2 = valid.substring(i, valid.length()-1);
                         valid = sub1.concat(sub2);
          return valid;
     public static int countValidChar(String string){
          int valid=string.length();
          for(int i=0; i<=string.length()-1; i++){
               if(isNumber(string.charAt(i))==false){
                    if((upperVowel(string.charAt(i))==true)||lowerVowel(string.charAt(i))){
                         valid--;}
               else if(even(string.charAt(i))==true)
                    valid--;
          return valid;
     private static boolean even(char num){
          boolean even=false;
          int test=(int)num-48;
          if(test%2==0)
               even=true;
          return even;
     private static boolean isNumber(char chara){
          boolean number=false;
          for(int i=0; i<=9; i++){
               if((int)chara-48==i){
                    number=true;
          return number;
     private static boolean isValid(char chara){
          boolean valid=true;
          if(isNumber(chara)==true){
               if(even(chara)==true)
                    valid=false;
          if((upperVowel(chara)==true)||(lowerVowel(chara)==true))
               valid=false;
          return valid;
}So in my test class i'd have something like this:
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args){
     NoVowelNoEven test1 = new NoVowelNoEven();
     NoVowelNoEven test2 = new NoVowelNoEven("hello 123");
     System.out.println(test1.getOriginal());
     //This prints hello   (default constructor string is "hello")
     System.out.println(test1.countValidChar(test1.getOriginal()));
     //This prints 3
     System.out.println(test1.getValidString());
     //This SHOULD print hll
}

Replacing a set of characters from a string in oracle sql query

I want to replace a set of characters ( ~ ! @ # $ % ^ * / \ + : ; | < > ? _ ,) from a STRING in sql
select 'TESTING ! ABC 123 #'
FROM DUAL;
What is the best way to do it? Please provide examples also.

What is your expected output... The query I posted just removes them, it never replaces them with spaces..your string already has space.. if you want to remove space as well .. try this...
SELECT TRANSLATE ('TESTING ! ABC 123 #', '-~!@#$%^*/\+:;|<>?_, ', ' ') FROM DUAL;
Output:
--TESTINGABC123
Else post your expected output..

Removing Non-Ascii Characters from a String

Hi Everyone,
I would like to remove all NON-ASCII characters from a large string. For example, I am taking text from websites and would like to remove all the strange arabic and asian characters. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.

I would like to remove all NON-ASCII characters from a large string. I don't know if its a good method but try this:
str="\u6789gj";
output="";
for(char c:str.toCharArray()){
if((c&(char)0xff00)==0){
output=output+c;
System.out.println(output);
all the strange arabic and asian characters.Don't call them so.... I am an Indian Muslim ;-) ....
Thanks!

Removing characters from a String

Hi!
I have a large String that has some unwanted characters in it that I want to remove. Here is an example:
AA1lbmNvZGVkUGFy\015\012YW1zdAACW0JbABBlbm5MQ2Is there any method I can use to remove the characters \015\012 from the String. I looked at the method String.replace(char, char); but this is unsuitable because I can only remove one charater at a time an I may have this character occuring legitimately elsewhere in my String. Would it be possible in some way to traverse the String and identify the pattern of \015\012 and remove that.
I'd appreciate any help,
Thanks
Chris

Specifically, str = str.replaceAll("\\\\01[25]", "");The replaceAll method is only available in v1.4.0 or later.

If I have a string eg "Hello World", how do I get an array containing the characters eg. [H,e,l,l,o, ,W,o,r,l,d]
Can any one help me please?

Or to get the chars you want from a String object you can do this:
String helloString = new String("Hello World");
char[] helloArray = helloString.toCharArray();

Remove $%&* characters from a String

Hi,
I have the following program that is supposed to detect a subsequence from a String (that contains $ signs) and remove it. This is a bit tricky, since because of $ signs, the replaceAll method for String does not work. When I use replaceAll for removing the part of the String w/ no $ signs, replaceAll works perfectly, but my code needs to cover the $ signs as well.
So far, except for replaceAll, I have tried the following, with the intent to first remove $ signs from only that specific sequence in the String (in this case from $d $e $f) and then remove the remaining, which is d e f.
If anyone has any idea on this, I would greatly appreciate it!
Looking forward to your help!
public class StringDivider {
     public static void main(String [] args)
          String symbols = "$a $b $c $d $e $f $g $h $i $j $k l m n o p";
         String removeSymbols = "$d $e $f";
         int startIndex = symbols.indexOf(removeSymbols);
         int endIndex = startIndex + removeSymbols.length()-1;
         for(int i=startIndex;i<endIndex+1;i++)
              if(symbols.charAt(i)=='$')
                   //not sure what to do here, I tried using replace(oldChar, newChar), but I couldn't achieve my point, which is to
                   //delete $ signs from the specific sequence only (as opposed to all the $ signs)
         System.out.println(symbols);
}

A little modification on the last version:
This one's more accurate.
public class StringDivider {
     public static void main(String [] args){
          String symbols = "$a $b $c $d $e $f $g $h $i $j $k l m n o p";
              String removeSymbols = "$d $e $f $g";
              if(symbols.indexOf(removeSymbols)!=-1)
                   if(removeSymbols.indexOf("$")!=-1)
                        removeSymbols = removeSymbols.replace('$', ' ').trim();
                        removeSymbols = removeSymbols.replaceAll("[ ]+", " ");
                        String [] symbolsWithoutSpecialChars = removeSymbols.split(" ");
                        for(int i=0;i<symbolsWithoutSpecialChars.length;i++)
                             symbols = symbols.replaceAll("[\\$]*"+symbolsWithoutSpecialChars, "");
                         symbols = symbols.replaceAll("[ ]+", " ");
               else
                    symbols = symbols.replaceAll(removeSymbols, "");
          symbols = symbols.trim();
          System.out.println(symbols);

Removing unwanted characters from imported string

Hello,
I have a tab-delimited .txt file which I have to import into Indesign for further processing.
The file is composed by a 3 columns header row at the beginning (Code, Description, price) followed by a series of 3 columns data rows.
The problem is that sometimes, depending on the way the txt/csv file has been created, may include unwanted characters (such as spaces, double spaces, etc.).
Is there a way to "clean" the imported strings from these unwanted characters?
This is my starting code:
function processImportedTxt(){
    //Open .csv file
    var csvFile = File.openDialog("Open file .csv","tab-delimited(*.csv):*.csv;");
    datafile = new File(csvFile);
    if (datafile.exists){
        datafile.open('r');
   var csvData = new Array();
   while(!datafile.eof){//read every row till the end of file
        csvData.push(datafile.readln());
    datafile.close();
    for(a=1; a<csvData.length; a++){
        var myRowData = csvData[a];//row of data
        var mySplitData = myRowData.toString().split("\t");//divide columns
        var myRowCode = mySplitData[0];
        var myRowDesc = mySplitData[1];
        var myRowPrice = mySplitData[2];
        // Here goes code for cleaning strings from unwanted characters
processImportedTxt();
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you want to safe 1-space occurences just a small correction:
i.e.:
var myRowCode = mySplitData[0].replace(/\s\s+/g,'');
