How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

Hi,
Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

ITunes forgetting or erasin text in search field when in mini-player modus

Hi,
there has been an annoying bug in iTunes since version 8 where iTunes doesn't seem to remember the text typed in the search field when it's in mini-player modus.
Concrete example:
I type in the search field The Beatles. I get the list with all music from The Beatles. I start playing the music, put iTunes in mini-player modus via the green plus sign.
Before iTunes 8 this gave me the chance of selecting which album or artist or song I wanted to hear, without needing to make a seperate playlist for it.
But I still see which song is playing in the mini-player.
Now, since iTunes 8 after a couple of songs in the mini-player it just plays other music as well. If I enlarge the player again, I see that the text in the search field is just gone.
I don't want to make seperate playlist every time I just want to hear this or that artist or album, and this worked fine untill iTunes 8.
I'm not the only one with the problem (after a check on a Mac-forum in Belgium). But after 2 bug reports to Apple and a couple of updates (now iTunes 8.2) the bugg is still there.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get this back? (Terminal commando or something, don't know...)
Thanks and Best Regards,

Your solution is fine if you're browsing. But if you're playing back specific material that does not fit into that filter, then you're up the creek.
Very annoying bug for my workflow for sure >=[

Can Garageband NOT select all regions on a track when I select the track???

I'm recording audio on 2 tracks. When I switch from one track to the other, it doesn't look like anything's selected because all the other regions are off the screen to the right. If I record a quick region and then delete it, EVERYTHING ON THAT TRACK GETS DELETED because it's automatically selected.
So ... where is the setting in Garageband that lets you select a track without selecting all the regions on it?

When you select a track, it automatically selects all of the regions in the track, which I think is silly.
Only, you cannot avoid it. It is built in. So deselect the regions afterwards by clicking some empty space in the track.
Write feedback to Apple with a feature request, that you want it changed:

I need help identifying and removing annoying gadget that shows all open windows and applications when I mouse over a corner.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Some time ago I installed a gadget (doesn't seem to be an item in my Applications folder) which, when I mouse-over the lower-left corner of my screen, brings up a screen showing reduced-size versions of all open application windows and Finder windows. I've tried to identify what it is, and where it is located, so I can remove it, but to no avail.
I'd really appreciate any help getting rid of this thing. Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.

Can I set up a form so that there is text in the fields when the user opens the file?

My client is interested in supplying schedules of activities in a PDF, and would like it so that a person can use what's in the document, or replace their own information in place of what's supplied.
I've set up forms for filling in blanks, but I've not seen if some text can be left in the fields to start with. For example, leaving a "your name" text line in a field where the user clicks on that phrase and it disappears (like you see in a number of forms on web pages).
Is this possible with Acrobat? If not, we'll probably have to go to a Word based solution, but I'd get better design if I do it in InDesign and add this functionality to a PDF.

George,
Thanks for keeping track of the discussion. I appreciate that you've taken the time to help me. My clients love the fact they can create these curriculum schedules with editable blocks that will allow the original info to return if the block is emptied. Now they'd like book titles italicized.
I downloaded the Javascript reference PDF and found the "richValue" information, but I'm not grasping the concept of how to add it to my page. I'm not Javascript-literate, so I'm more inclined to add HTML tags or something like
and to make something italic.
Here is the example they gave:
Example
Turn all bold text into red underlined text.
// Custom format event for a rich text field.
var spans = event.richValue;
for ( var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++ )
if( spans[i].fontWeight >= 700 )
spans[i].textColor = color.red;
spans[i].fontWeight = 400; // change to default weight
spans[i].underline = true;
event.richValue = spans;
I think I understand the 400 and 700 numbers as font weights, and that "underline" could be replaced with "italic". So I'm trying to figure out what I would need to write in order to make specific words italic in a block of text in the example you provided:
// If field is blank, display this text
if (!event.value) event.value = "Your name here";
Can a span be ID'd by placing a sort of tag around the words? Like... (pardon my fake Javascript)
// If field is blank, display this text
if (words.are) 'i' then italics = true
if (!event.richValue) event.richValue = "Your 'i'name'i' here";
(You're probably laughing at my attempt here, but I hope my point is made :-) ).

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.

Howto select all entries with two fields value

Hi all,
I have the following SELECT stmt:
      SELECT SUM( betrw )
        INTO l_real_t
        FROM dfkkop
       WHERE opbel = l_opbel
         AND hvorg <> gc_hvorg_dun_fee
         AND tvorg <> gc_tvorg_dun_fee.
Now I get no lines, where hvorg = gc_hvorg_dun_fee OR tvorg = gc_tvorg_dun_fee.
But my intention is to get no lines, where BOTH conditions are met.
What am I doing wrong here?
Kind Regards, Matthias

Check this..
SELECT SUM( betrw )
        INTO l_real_t
        FROM dfkkop
       WHERE opbel = l_opbel
         AND NOT ( hvorg EQ gc_hvorg_dun_fee
         AND tvorg EQ gc_tvorg_dun_fee).

HT2954 Need help on deleting emails from my email account i'm able to select all and remove them but when i recheck all deleted emails come back now have 3000 plus

how do i remove emails completly from my account

In mail, highlight the mailbox you deleted the messages from, then on the menu bar click mailbox then rebuild. That will usually get rid of deleted messages that won't delete.

(PS CS3) Selecting all text to change fill color?

I have a graphic with text - the text was not inserted by Photoshop, and it's not selectable as text; it's just part of the graphic. I'd like to change the color of the text.
I can select each letter and individual block of punctuation, etc. by using the Magic Wand and Shift+Click on each item. Is there a way, though, to simply select all of the text - or at least one complete line - with one or two moves or commands, vice the tediousness of clicking in each letter, comma, i dot, and so forth?
Ed

Given that the text is uniformly colored against a colorless background, a VERY easy shortcut can be to just use Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation, pick a color, then change the Hue slider.
Literally only a few seconds work...

Is there any way to select all italicised text in Pages?

I've got a long document in Pages (about 30 pages so far) and I'm looking for a way to select all the italicised text at once, so that I could change its colour.
Is there any way to do this?
Cheers

Only if you have used a character style to italicise the words. If you have that you can change one of the word to a chosen colour and all words with that style will get the new colour

Adobe acrobat text feild value changing when placing a cursor

Hi,
I am using adobe acrobat 9 for printing some letters.
I have a pdf document in that there are bundle of letters. In all letter there are some common text fields are existing.
Here issue is, the content of first letter values are appearing in all remaining letters common fields when i am placing cursor over the field.
While i am printing also the first letter are appearing in all letters.
But when i use adobe 5 the issue is not occurring.
Please help me, to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I have pdf document, which consists of multiple letters. All letters have common content but the date field, name of client, address and control number are differ for individual letter.
Issue is, while i am looking at the letter everything is fine, i mean data is distinct for each letter. The i printed the pdf doc but all letters have same date field, name of client, address and control number which are as of first letter.
And when i click on text field the content of field is changing and showing same as first letter. When i remove cursor its again distinct.
For example in first letter date field is 15th feb 2015. In second letter its showing 16th feb 2015. But when i place cursor over the field its changing to 15th feb 2015. while i remove the cursor its showing 16th feb 2015. i printed the letter and its showing 15th feb 2015 in both letters.
Here the issue is not with the batch program which is placing the data to the doc. As this issue is coming while using Adobe Acrobat 5 to generate the pdf doc.
I am suspecting some properties change is causing this issue. i try to change one property of text field like back ground color, then the text field value is not changing and if i print also the value is not changing.
I cant share the pdf document as it has some confidential information.
please suggest me to resolve this issue.

Form Field Properties, "select all option"

A form with multiple field types such as text and check marks, having the ability to select all of a specific field type to make a properties change like "format" is very useful. In Acrobat 8, a document with say, 50 fields of text, and 20 fields of checks, you could select all checks or text fields to make a properties change without limitations. Please quit removing useful functions.

I guess you were using the specific Field Tool to access the common properties of specific field types. The Field tools have been abandoned (except for the Button Tool) in favor of the Form Edit Mode. (what I think of that is obvious knowing that my main tool for forms development is Acrobat 7… testing in 9 and 10 is OK, however).
So, you might still be able to access the common properties of specific field types by switching to the Form Edit Mode and selecting the according Field tool there. A kludge, works against the hands, and may have unwanted side effects, but a possibility.
It is a shame that we must beg in feature requests for fixing bugs…

Triple click doesn't select all when autocomplete appears.

I recently updated to Firefox 34.0.5 (on Windows 7) and it seems like every time I get an issue sorted out, I discover another one. Today, I have realized that triple-clicking within a form or text field does not select all of the text if the autocomplete appears. This has never been an issue for me with previous Firefox versions. This is quickly become a nuisance for me and I would like to get it resolved ASAP. I have tried looking around for solutions, but all I've really been able to find is this bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307776
I've read through that and related reports, but I didn't see a resolution anywhere. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Note: "browser.triple_click_selects_paragraph" is set to true and it works as expected, but NOT if the autocomplete dropdown appears.
EDIT: I have also just discovered that I can no longer delete autocomplete entries by highlighting them and pressing Delete. Were these changes actually intentional or is there just a problem on my end?

Another user posted about this for Firefox 31 (the ESR version, so could have been even earlier) ([https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1027748 Double click select all does not work in web site's search area after going back.]) (it really should reference triple-click, I think).
The corresponding new bug report is: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094041 1094041 – Double click select all does not work after form history shows up] (it really should reference triple-click, I think). That doesn't seem to have gone anywhere as the cause of the change was not obvious.
Have you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode to rule out one or more of your extensions as possible culprits? That's a standard diagnostic tool as you probably know. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
