Need help in handling string of characters
Hi,
I am trying to scan string and separate different text based on business logic. For example:
String = 'My bus comes at 999 F Street at 8 am'
Now I need to scan the string and break the sentence into multiple words like:
- First occurrence of number which is 999 goes into var1 variable.
- Last occurrence of number which is 8 goes into var2 variable.
I am wondering if this can be achieve with regular expression of any oracle internal function.
Thanks,

or you can even try like this...
with data(str) as
(select 'My bus comes at 999 F Street at 8 am' from dual),
data1 as
(select regexp_replace(str, '[^[:digit:]]+', ' ') a from data)
select regexp_substr(a,'[^ ]+',1,1) var1,regexp_substr(a,'[^ ]+',1,2) var2 from data1;
Output:
var1 var2
999 8
No need to make this complicated ;)

3 select 'My bus comes at 999 F Street at 8 am'

Need help in the String Format method
really need help in string.Format method. I would like to show the s in two digit numbers.
for example:
if s is below 10 then display *0s*
the expecting result is 01,02,03.. 09,10,11....
I tried this method, somehow i got the errors msg. pls advise. thx.
public void setDisplay(String s) {
String tmpSS=String.format("%02d",s);
this.ss.setText(tmpSS);
Edited by: bluesailormoon on May 19, 2008 10:30 AMApparently, you expect the string to consist of one or two digits. If that's true, you could do this:String tmpSS = (s.length() == 1) ? ("0" + s) : s; or this: String tmpSS = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(s));

Need help in removing non printable characters
hi
I am having an issue with non printable characters in webservice. This webservice dishes out xml in B2B communication to my clients programs. Due to data corruption in oracle (dont know who is creating bad data ) I am having non printable characters in the xml file which is generated from database. I am dishing out this to our customers. since the data in updated every day it is imposible to fix the data every time. I need to write a very very effficient method to strip non printable characters from strings from the xml. Can some one Please help on this one. I want to make sure this method is very efficient because this method could be potentially be called lots of times. I am using JDK 1.3.1 and oracle 8i
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Ashok PappuAt some point you existing program is probably converting from String data to the XML bytes through a CharsetEncoder, probably inside a java.io.Writer.
Perhaps your best approach might be to write your own java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder which deals with the bad characters as you see fit.
You can register a new java.nio.charset.CharSet as a private character set type. Because this should result in simply replacing a standard CharsetEncoder with a non-standard one hopefully the overheads would be low. -

Still Need Help with this String Problem
basically, i need to create a program where I input 5 words and then the program outputs the number of unique words and the words themselves. for example, if i input the word hello 5 times, then the output is 1 unique word and the word "hello". i have been agonizing over this dumb problem for days, i know how to do it using hashmap, but this is an introductory course and we cannot use more complex java functions, does ANYONE know how to do this just using arrays, strings, for loops, if clauses, etc. really basic java stuff. i want the code to be able to do what the following program does:
import java.io.*; import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MoreUnique {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String str[] = new String[5]; int uniqueEntries = 0; ArrayList<String> ue = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.print((i +1) + ": "); str[i] = br.readLine(); }
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
if (!ue.contains(str[j].toLowerCase())) { ue.add(str[j].toLowerCase()); } } uniqueEntries = ue.size(); System.out.print("Number of unique entries: " + uniqueEntries + " { ");
for (int q = 0; q < ue.size(); q++ ) { System.out.print(ue.get(q) + " "); } System.out.println("}"); } } but i need to find how to do it so all 5 words are put in at once on one line, and without all the advanced java functions that are in here, can anyone help out?you have to compare string 0 to strings 1-4, then
string 1 with strings 2-4, then string 2 with strings
3 and 4 then string 3 with string 4....right???Here's a way to do it:
public class MoreUnique {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
final int NUM_WORDS = 5;
String[] words = new String[NUM_WORDS];
int uniqueEntries = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_WORDS; i++) {
System.out.print((i+1)+": ");
String temp = br.readLine();
if(!contains(temp, words)) {
words[uniqueEntries++] = temp;
System.out.print("Number of unique entries: "+uniqueEntries+" { ");
for (int i = 0; i < uniqueEntries; i++ ) {
System.out.print(words[i]+" ");
System.out.println("}");
private static boolean contains(String word, String[] array) {
Your code here: just a simple for-statement to
loop through your array and to see if 'word'
is in your 'array'.
}Try to fill in the blanks.
Good luck. -
Hi ppl,
i hav a code which has to do some actions on the strings retrieved from the database. The code is in java swings
I need to know, how do i check if there is a space between strings.
For eg Kevin Dcosta. (There is a space between Kevin Dcosta)
Please can someone provide me with the Java code for the same so tat i can append to my code. Or is there any readymade method in Java for the same??
Thanks

Need help to handle java FX stuffs...........??
i am very much new to Java FX i want to do a login acceptance and rejection operation.like ::
client will click on the button it will open up the window of created by java FX which will give the login screen*(in this case i would like to mention one thing i all ready have a page like usercheck.jsp which is checking if the user is already loged in or not so need to call this JAVA FX window from that page.)*.This java FX window should have a text field and a password field to match with database.it will show a progressber while it is matching the user name password with database.If the login is correct it will give the user the session stuff and allow him to access**(ie.it will be forworded to the page say,cart.jsp)** otherwise it will give a alert message "login faild".any idea about it..............what should i do now???my database is in access and it connected to my program by DA.java.please guide me what should i do,step by step?and consulting with [http://jfx.wikia.com/wiki/SwingComponents]
now guide me.............
i have just created a swing button say "click me to login" on a UNDECORATED window............so what next.........

I have a requirement in my project where I need to take out a sub string from the main string and store in other column.
for example,
I have a table with 2 columns and table has more then 500 records.
1st column has the values like follows
'High Pressure 0.5 in'
'Wafer 0.3 in'
'Sanitary 3.0 in'
'8721 Hygienic 1.0 in'
My requirement is, I need to takeout inches part and store in 2nd column.
my 2nd column should contain values like 0.5, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0
Thanks in advance,
RakIf you always have a decimal point and a fixed length for the inches:
SQL>
SQL> with t as (
2 select 'High Pressure 0.5 in' str from dual union
3 select 'Wafer 0.3 in' from dual union
4 select 'Sanitary 3.0 in' from dual union
5 select '8721 Hygienic 1.0 in' from dual
6 )

10 select str
11 , substr( str
12 , instr(str, '.' ,1 )-1
13 , instr(str, '.' ,1 )-instr(str, '.' ,1 )+3
14 ) inch
15 from t;
STR INCH
8721 Hygienic 1.0 in 1.0
High Pressure 0.5 in 0.5

Need help in converting string to numeric array
I am trying to convert a string to a numeric array ... the first # in the string gets cut off, the last three seem to come through.
This may be fairly simple, but I really haven't worked with the string functions all that much.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Need help on search string in EBS
Hi,
We have a situation where multiple BAI transactions comes with same code, ex: 451 and based on the text in the note to payee they need to be posted to different clearing accounts.
I did config taking advantage of search string and posting rule in tareget field (EBVGINT)
For some reason getting an error message saying " Account symbol in account assignment not replaceable"
For example of CITI in the note to payee, my config is like this :
Created Account symbol CITI, Assigned GL account to account symbol CITI and account modifier as CITI too
Created posting key as CITI and posting rules are posting rule CITI , 40 (debit) post to bank accounting (option 1) for account symbol CITI and 50 (credit) post to bank as account symbol with posting to bank accounting (option 1) document type SA.
In the search string section, created a search string CITI with source (text from note to payee) and target as CITI (posting rule key)
then this searchs tring has been assigned to the company code, house bank, no algorithm, target field as posting rule and no prefix.
Can anybody explain me why i am getting the above error message based on this config ??
Thanks in advance
umaHi Uma,
The search string works this way:
Step 1: You define a search string. The search string should be a unique word or number or a combination which appears in the 88 record of the BAI statement. In the definition:
a. you give a name for the search string
b. a definition or long text
c. the search string - the unique word you want the system to search for in the 88 record. Please note that the search string you enter here should appear exactly in the same way in your bank statement.
d. you map this search string to a Posting rule or cost center or whatever you want to replace in the next step.
Step 2. Here you tell the system how this mapped information (in (d) above) is to be used. The mapped information could be used as a posting rule, as cost center, as profit center or in any way you want if you define your own logic.
The usage could be specific to a House bank, Account ID, Company code, BAI code combination or you can leave it as generic so that it will be used for all House Bank and Account ID in all company code.
But I would advise you to keep it very specific otherwise the results would not be what you want to be.
To answer your question: Also, do i need to add the entries in transaction type and assign them to the external transaction and posting rule ?
It is not required. But if you have assigned a posting rule under the Transaction type, the configuration in search string will override it. So you really don't need the assignment of posting rule under transaction type, but I would advise you to do it because if the system does not find your search string, then it will take this assignment as default.
Hope I made myself clear.

Need help with attributed string in NSMenuItem
I'm trying to implement a contextual menu for a view in one of my applications. I want it to be dynamic, based on where you click in the view. It works fine if I don't try to mess with the font size of the menu. If I try to make the menu font smaller, the menu will appear blank, and its action won't get triggered, but only if there's only one menu item. If there are two or more, they'll all show up.
I've done a bunch of searching, and found some code examples where they put in a dummy item, then remove it later, but so far, that hasn't helped me, either. I've posted an example project (~44KB) on my web site that illustrates this, if you'd like to see it in action (the example doesn't include the "dummy fix", by the way, but it's easy enough to add).
Here's the code where I customize the menu:
<pre class="command">-(NSMenu *)menuForEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent
NSPoint mouseLoc = [self convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow] fromView:nil];
NSLog(@"Raw Mouse Location: %2.1f, %2.1f", mouseLoc.x, mouseLoc.y);
// Get my blank menu:
NSMenu *tzMenu = [self defaultMenu];
// Set up my string attributes:
NSMutableDictionary *menuAttributes = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[menuAttributes setObject:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Lucida Grande" size:11] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
if (mouseLoc.x < 220) // Make just one menu item.
int i;
for (i=0; i<1; i++)
[tzMenu addItemWithTitle:@"Item" action:@selector(changeMapDot:) keyEquivalent:@""];
NSMenuItem *lastItem = [tzMenu itemAtIndex:[tzMenu numberOfItems] - 1];
NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Item" attributes:menuAttributes];
// Comment out this next line and the menu item appears in the default font:
[lastItem setAttributedTitle:attrString];
[attrString release];
else
int i;
for (i=0; i<3; i++) //Make three items. These always appear.
[tzMenu addItemWithTitle:@"Item" action:@selector(changeMapDot:) keyEquivalent:@""];
NSMenuItem *lastItem = [tzMenu itemAtIndex:[tzMenu numberOfItems] - 1];
NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Item" attributes:menuAttributes];
[lastItem setAttributedTitle:attrString];
[attrString release];
[menuAttributes release];
return tzMenu;
}</pre>Any tips that anyone has would be most apprecitated.
I'm not unalterably opposed to the regular system menu font if there's no way around this (the menus are pretty short: usually less then a dozen items), but aesthetically it looks nicer with a smaller font.
charlieHi,
You can use SUBSTR and INSTR
This should work in Oracle 9:
WITH cntr AS
SELECT LEVEL AS n
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3
, got_pos AS
SELECT x.txt
, c.n
, INSTR (x.txt, '[', 1, c.n) AS l_pos
, INSTR (x.txt, ']', 1, c.n) AS r_pos
FROM table_x x
CROSS JOIN cntr c
SELECT txt
, n
, SUBSTR ( txt
, l_pos + 1
, r_pos - (l_pos + 1)
) AS sub_txt
FROM got_pos
ORDER BY txt
, n
;Sorry, I don't have an Oracle 9 database available now; I had to test this in Oracle 10.

... I have tried the "REGEXP_SUBSTR" but my database version is 9i, and it is available only from 10g.That's true. Regular expressions are very useful, but they're not available in Oracle 9 (or earlier).
Oracle 9 does have an Oracle-supplied package, OWA_PATTERN, that provides some regular expression functionality:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/appdev.101/b10802/w_patt.htm
I know that's the Oracle 10, documentation, but it exists in Oracle 9, too.
Oracle 9 is very old. You should consider upgrading. -
Need Help Parsing JSON String using PLJSON
Hello,
I have JSON stored in a database field:
--Query
select data1 from table1 where id= 339207152427;
--Results:
[{"name":"Home"},{"code":"JPNWC74ZKW9"},{"start date":"01\/02\/2014"},{"person name":"hhh, RamS"}]
I need to parse the above results into 3 fields in a separate table. For now, i'm just trying to parse the results using PLJSON, but am getting the ORA-20101: JSON Parser exception - no { start found error when running the following pl/sql block:
declare
VIN_JSON varchar2(4000);
jsonObj json;
listOfValues json_list;
listElement json_value;
begin
select data1 into VIN_JSON from table1 where id= 339207152427;
jsonObj := new json(VIN_JSON);
listOfValues := jsonObj.get_values();
for i in 1..listOfValues.count loop
listElement := listOfValues.get(i);
end loop;
end;
I believe my syntax is close, but was hoping for some further instruction.
Thanks in advance!
JohnI have no idea what you are trying to do or in what version so help, at this point, is not possible.
Let's start with this:
I need to parse the above results into 3 fields in a separate tableAnd the parsing rules?
And what the result should be?
You apparently want us to guess. Which is something most of us do not like to do. (and don't forget your full version number if you want help).
PS: This forum has a FAQ: I recommend you read it as you didn't even put your listing into tags. -

Need help! Printer printing garbage characters and non stop until out of paper
Hi,
I have a computer lab that has 25 workstations. The workstations are installed with Adobe CS5 suite. Sometimes when trying to print Indesign files, the printer started to go haywire. It will print out garbage character and printing non stop until ran out of paper.
Any help will be great. Thanks in advance.
Network printer: HP colorjet CP4525
OS: Win XP SP3
Software: Indesign CS5There is no such thing as a Generic Adobe PostScript driver. What is posted on the adobe.com website is a driver installer that simply associates PPD files with the standards Windows PostScript driver that comes with Windows itself. That installer only works with versions of Windows up to and an including Windows XP 32-bit. It does not work with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server, or any 64-bit version of Windows.
Also note that although the HP CP4525 “supports PostScript” it is not a printer with Adobe PostScript 3, but rather, CloneScript from a third party.
Having said that and understanding that you are currently using a PCL6 driver, I would recommend the following:
(1) Try using the PCL5C driver for the printer. PCL6 and its drivers was always dodgy anyway.
(2) Turn off the printer's automatic page description language sensing. That feature attempts to guess as to whether PCL or PostScript is currently being sent to the device and switch language processors. It really isn't necessary because HP's drivers prepend the print job with information as to which page description language is being used.
Given the unreliable nature of HP's emulation of PostScript, I would not recommend using any HP LaserJet's PostScript mode for any model of LaserJet in recent memory.
