MS/UNIX/DB question - How to find MS characters in Unix scripts.
Hi. I apologise if this is a bit off-topic.
We have been developing sql scripts on PC's but need to run them from UNIX. We are find Microsoft characters like double spaces followed by a dash convert into little squares and upside down question marks. etc.
I can find them in the database using:
SELECT description_text, dump(description_text)
FROM descriptions
WHERE regexp_like( description_text, '[^[:print:][:space:]]');And get things like "Adjustment � Service".
In unix that might appear as "\266" in the middle of a text string. We find them in the db, fix them, and re-deploy.. but this is getting tiresome.
I want to be able to repeatedly scan all sql scripts in Unix, including files in subdirectories. (there are literally hundreds..)
We're running SunOS 5.10. I have tried "grep -r {266}" but the -r option isn't valid with my version of grep... :(
Any suggestions about the easiest/most pragmatic way of doing this?
Thanks in advance. :)
Pete

I couldn't get the shell script to work, so just kept playing with command line.
The closest I have is: find . -name "*.sql" | xargs grep 'xyz' Or using od: find . -name "*" | xargs | od -c | grep 'xyz' But i'm struggling a bit to identify and filter the specifc characters i'm looking for. They appear differently depending on how they're being viewed. (or not at all.) in some cases 2 spaces following by a dash " -" appeared as an update down question mark in Sql and "\266" in the unix script when viewed in vi. I don't have any current examples so it's hard to see what it looks like in od.

We are interesting in file with maximal values in "field" 2 and 3 assuming that fields are parts of filename separated with "_". I especially created (the file we are interested in) CHECK_300914_215928_xxaa_account_name_20140930201143.txt file to be the first created/modified file.
find . -name CHECK_300914_215928_xxaa_account_name_20140930201143.txt
./CHECK_300914_215928_xxaa_account_name_20140930201143.txt
will definitely work. But we should know the file name. As for topicstarter note it is not the case.
ls -tr . | tail -1
CHECK_300914_200747_xxaa_account_name_20140930195924.txt
gave incorrect file.

How to find Special Characters in a single query

A)SIMIt's not clear what you want.
What are "special characters"? Can you list all of them?
Do you want to find rows where string_column contains any of the special characters? If so
SELECT string_column
FROM table_x
WHERE string_column != NVL ( TRANSLATE ( string_column
, 'A(%$*&@,;'/+-'
, 'A'
, 'A'
;I assume 'A' is not a special character.
You could also use regular expressions, but it will be more efficient if you don't use them unless you really need to.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
You'll get better replies sooner if you always include this information whenever you have a question. -

Simple question - How to find date
Hi Experts,
I have a simple question on date. Suppose today is Jan 4, 2010. I have to find out Jan 1, 2007 using Java code.
I have used following code. This code will work for 2010 and 2011 properly. However it won't work properly after Feb 28, 2012. Please see "dayInMillis*1096 " portion of code. Here 365365366 = 1096.
How I can avoid this hard coding. Do we have any simple way to get Jan 1, 2007 even without using following code.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
int firstDate = calendar.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DATE);
int todayDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
int dayofyear = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
java.sql.Date currentdate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
long dayInMillis = 1000 * 60 * 60 *24; //1 day
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - dayInMillis*1096 - ((dayofyear-1)*dayInMillis)));
Please help.
Regards,
GaryHi Gary,
I am not pretty much clear with your question, whatever i have understood, i have found a way to get the previous date given the current date.
Below is the code for the same.
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();//Jan 4, 2010
String nowDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
System.out.println("date now : " +nowDateStr);
now.add(Calendar.YEAR, -3);//2007
now.add(Calendar.DATE, -3);//1st
now.add(Calendar.MONTH, 0);//No change in month, Jan.
String changedDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
System.out.println("date changed : " +changedDateStr); -
