Multiple substitutions of characters in string

Hi everybody....
Imagine that in a table column there are rows such as :
Xxxxxx
YYYYY
My purpose is to find a substring in an .xml file which resembles on particular column row....
For example if i have the row value 'Xxxxxx' then i want to search and replace in each line in .xml file which have ....
'Xxxxxx' , or 'XXXXXX' , or .... -- same number of characters but maybe different ascii characters (lower , upper , mix-case). Is this possible ?
Thanks ,a lot
Simon

Hi ,
thanks for your reply...
I convert the forms (in Developer Suite 10g) into .xml using the frmf2xml.bat file in order to change the path and name of forms to lowercase only - they are mixed-case.
Now, i have the path and form names in a table....
Selecting this path and form names i try to find the substring in this .xml file in order to change the .xml file appropriately - according to the selected path and form names...
For example ,
if the column name ' path ' has the value 'admin' and the column name 'form_name' has the value 'test' ..
I want to search in the .xml file instances of :
admin\test,
Admin\Test,
Admin\test,
admin\TEST , e.t.c. - possibly all combinations ...
How can i do it as simpler as possible.....???
I don't want to get complicated in XMLDB....XMLTYPE ,e.t.c..
I use the .xml file as a simple .txt file....
Thanks , a lot for your reply...

Regex replacing multiple characters in string.

I have been working through the Java regex tutorial and tried to modify one of the programs for my own use. Basically, I want to take a string and convert the chatracters A to T, T to A, C to G and G-C.
I produced the rather crude program below, but of course it doesn't work. A could be converted to T and back again before the program terminates.
I know that the code to do this correctly is probably quite complex, so could anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial which will help me to do this?
This aside, I take it that if I am looking for multiple matches of characters which won't give the problem already indicated above, my code is too bloated anyway. Say, for example, instead of wanting to replace A to T, T to A, C to G and G-C, I wanted to replace dog-cat, horse-donkey - lion, tiger , cat-mouse. My code will work for this, but I am sure that it could be compressed a lot. Surely I would not need all the lines of code to do this?
Thanks for any help,

Characters in String : Unicode 16-bit to custom 32-bit

I understand that internally in Java, characters in Strings are actually Unicode characters, with each character represented with 16 bits.
So, character �L� in Unicode is 0x004C
which is also 0000 0000 0100 1100
Now, I wish to encode each of the 4 bits above into individual ASCII characters:
= 0 0 4 C
= 0x30 0x30 0x34 0x43
= 00110000 00110000 00110100 01000011
So, from the original 16-bit character in Java, I want a final 32-bit.
Eventually, I�ll need to send the final result over the network, via OutputStream/writer and socket.
Can someone help me on this ? Or give me some ideas... Thanks.

trick: prepend the number with 1 and use substring... like int charWith1 = c + 0x10000. That'll make charWith1 to be of the format 0x1XXXX. Then call hexstring on that, you get a string like "1XXXX." Then you can drop the 1 with a call to substring.
of course there are methods that use only bit operations and additions to do it, making it a bit faster.. like this:
byte byte0 = (byte) ((c & 0x000F) + '0');
byte byte1 = (byte) (((c & 0x00F0) >> 4) + '0');
...

Removing non-numeric characters from string

Hi there,
I need to have the ability to remove non-numeric characters from a string and I do not know how to do this.
Does any one know a way?
Example:
Present String: (02)-2345-4607
Required String: 0223454607
Thanks in advance

Dear NickM
Try this this will work...........
create or replace function char2num(mstring in varchar2) return integer
is
-- Function to remove Special characters and alphebets from phone no. string field
-- Author - Valid Bharde.(India-Mumbai)
-- Date :- 20 Sept 2006.
-- This Function will return numeric representation.
-- The Folowing program is gifted to NickM with respect to his post on oracle site regarding Removing non-numeric characters from string on the said date
mstatus number :=0;
mnum number:=0;
mrefstring varchar2(50);
begin
mnum := length(mstring);
for x in 1..mnum loop
if (ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) >= 48 and ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) <= 57) then
mrefstring := mrefstring || substr(mstring,x,1);
end if;
end loop;
return mrefstring;
end;
copy the above program and use it at function for example
SQL> select char2num('(022)-453452781') from dual;
CHAR2NUM('(022)-453452781')
22453452781

Number of repeated characters in string array

Hi,
I m trying to get number of repeated characters in string array. I couldnt figure out where am i doing mistake.
thank you,
For example: count({"alpha, beta,"}, 'a')
a is repeated 3
l is repeated 1 etc.
public class Test
public static int count(String[] stringArray, char c)
public String [] str = new String [2];
int count = 0;
str[0]
str[1]
for(int i = 0; i<str.length(); i++)
if (str.charAt(i)
count++;
return count;

There is a difference between a String and a String [].
A String [] is an array of String class objects:/* Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1.java */
public class Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1
public static void main(String [] argv)
    /* here is an array of Strings */
    String [] s = { "hello", "how", "are", "you" };
    int i, j;
    System.out.println("s.length = "+ s.length );
    for (i= 0; i < s.length; i++)
      System.out.println("s= <"+ s[i] +">");
      for (j= 0; j < s.length(); j++)
System.out.print(s[i].charAt(j) +", ");
System.out.println("\n-----");
}output:java> javac Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1.java

How to maintain Multiple Substitution (2003) Infotype

Folks,
I need to maintain multiple substitution for an employee on same date.
_Example:_
    Employee planned working time ( Infotype 0007 ) - Shift A ( 6 AM to 2 PM )
    But he has come in Substitution Shift B ( 2 PM to 10 PM ) instead of Shift A.
    Due to month end work , his senior manager may say him to continue Shift C also.
    ( It happens in Manufacturing industries )
   Now i need to maintain both Shift substitution in 2003 infotype.
   But system doesn't allows me to enter two Substituion for same date.
   Is there any solution for . If Yes , say me procedure.
   Answers will be rewarded.
Regards
Surendar

No No, I am just asking you to make a decision based on your requiremnts and how your system is set up.
Entering a DWS OR star time and end time in IT 2003 will replace the planned working time in IT 0007. (Dont enter both at the same time)
So if you maintain the following times 0600 to 2200 in IT 2003, then the employee has a planned working time for 16 hrs, he does not get any benefit for working 8 extra hours. Is this the way you want system to work?
Normally under such circumstance, the employee will get compensated in some way for working extra hours. If this is how system should work, you should only enter 0600-1400 ( or whatever SHIFT B timing is ) in IT 2003 and enter the extra shift (Shift C) worked as Overtime.
I hope the above clarifies my answer.
Please note that wiothout knowing exactly how your system is set up, we cannot give you an exact answer through the internet, We can give pointers and guidelines, which you need to analyse yourself in light of your own system design. If you have any doubt, enter the data in test system and try it out and see if the payment is made correctly as expected,.

So you are saying that the recovery discs I made do include the copy of windows that was originally installed?
Absolutely! They will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Follow the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

maybe i can make a deal with wd to have them swap this drive out for the BEKT instead...
That would be a good idea in any case.
As I said, the 10-fc12-045d error would not be due to the drive's being AFT, but more likely the discs are not being read properly. New discs can be obtained from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

Replace special characters in String

Dear Guru ,
Does SAP provide the standard function that can replace the special characters in String ?
For example :
I have one template string : " & & & & & output(s) have not been processed yet ! " and five parameters : "P1" , "P2" , "P3" , "P4" , "P5" .
And i would like to apply all parameters into the string to replace the "&" character . Is it possibile ?
My idea is sourcing from the Message String that in tcode : SE91 .
Thanks .
Best Regards,
Carlos Zhang

Hi Carlos,
I think instead of a standard FM you can write a one line command to do this job.
E.g.
constant: str1 type string value 'output(s) have not been processed yet ! '.
data: var1 type c,
         var2 type c,
         var3 type c,
         var4 type c,
         str    type string.
concatenate var1 var2 var3 var4 str1 into str separated by space.
So str will have the final value.
Thanks,
Mainak

Is there a way in Oracle to return multiple rows as a single string?

Hi gurus,
I just got help from your guys fixing my dynamic sql problem. What I am doing in that function is to return a single string from multiple rows and I use it in the select statement. It works fine once the problem was solved. But is there any way in Oracle to do this in the select statement only? I have a table that stores incidents (incident_id is the PK) and another table that stores the people that are involved in an incident.
Incident_table
(incident_id number PK);
Incident_people_table
(incident_id number PK/FK,
person_id number PK);
Now in a report, I need to return the multiple rows of the Incident_People_table as a single string separated by a comma, for example, 'Ben, John, Mark'. I asked the SQL Server DBA about this and he told me he can do that in SQL Server by using a variable in the sql statement and SQL Server will auomatically iterate the rows and concatenate the result (I have not seen his actual work). Is there a similar way in Oracle? I have seen some examples here for some similar requests using the sys_connect_by_path, but I wonder if it is feasible in a report sql that is already rather complex. Or should I just stick to my simpler funcion?
Thanks.
Ben

Convert integers to equivalent characters in string - NOT ASCII code character

I have to output my data and associated string information to a string array and then to a spreadsheet file.
I want to do this by converting integers (and other numbers) to an identical string of characters.
I have tried Type Cast with a string constant as the type input but it DOES NOT WORK. Instead, I get the ASCII character whose numerical designation matches the integer, e.g. integer "50" become capital "P".
I want integer "50" to be string "50".
Please advise and no, I do not want to make arrays of clusters.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found my answer but only after searching for "Number" conversion rather than "Integer" conversions.
In the Programming palette - String Functions - String/Number Conversion - Number to Decimal String:
"Converts number to a string of decimal digits at least width characters wide or wider if necessary. If number is floating-point, it is rounded to a 64-bit integer before conversion."
