Hi Narasimhulu,
There is System field called sy-abcde which conains all the English letters.
If your string contains only english and Japanees chars,
You can check with SY-ABCDE like below.
DATA:
   w_urstring TYPE STRING.
w_urstring = 'こんにちは。　Konnichiwa'.
if w_urstring ca sy-abcde.
    split w_urstring into w_urstring1 w_urstring2.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
     write:
       / w_urstring1, w_urstring2.
     endif.
endif.
hope this solves ur proble.

Get number of character within a String by number of pixels

How can i get the number of character within a String
by a width value...
for example..
i have a String = "1234567890abcdefghi.........."
and when i give the width "10"
i will get the String "12".
or the number of charcter..
or somthingggggggggggggggg

Limit number of character in a TextArea

Hi,
how can I limited the number of character in a jTextArea?
thanks!

You have to customize the Document that your text area is using. You can read more about the Document interface here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/text/Document.html
And here is a simple example that demonstrates how you can customize a Document to do what you want. The program should compile and run as is. It will display a JTextArea that only allows ten characters.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class LimitedTextArea extends JFrame {
    public LimitedTextArea() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JTextArea text = new JTextArea(5, 40);
        // Set the customized Document on the text area. Only allow
        // a maximum of ten characters:
        text.setDocument(new LimitedDocument(10));
        getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane( text ));
        pack();
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new LimitedTextArea().setVisible(true);
    // Document that only allows a certain number of characters
    class LimitedDocument extends PlainDocument {
        private int maxLength;
        public LimitedDocument(int maxLength) {
            this.maxLength = maxLength;
        // This method is overriden from the super class. It will be called when
        // you are trying to insert text in your text component (by typing
        // or pasting).
        public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
            int currentLength = getLength();
            if( currentLength >= maxLength ) {
                // There's not room for more characters. Return.
                return;
            if( currentLength + str.length() > maxLength ) {
                // All of the characters we are trying to insert will not fit.
                // We must trim the string.
                str = str.substring(0, maxLength - currentLength);
            // Insert the text:
            super.insertString(offs, str, a);
}

AES256 bit encyption key from 64 character long string

Please let me know hot to convert 64 character long string in to 256bit key.

My client is using Java and they are saying that they are using this key for their AES256 Encryption and working fine. I have asked them to provide me 32 bytes key as in Oracle 256bit is 32 character string.
Let me see what they have to say.
I was wondering why Java has 64 bytes for 256 AES encryption when Oracle need only 32 bytes for same encryption.I am not sure I completely understand how those built-in packages work but the doc example produces the raw key that is same in length (in terms of number of characters) as the one you are using.
Yet your UTL_I18N packaged function fails for your key but works for the documentation example.

Are there any plans to fix the misinterpretation of the Exchange ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" in IOS6?

We are testing using IOS6 in our Corporate environment and came across a scenario where IOS6 incorrectly interprets the Exchange 2010 ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" as the number of special characters required rather than the number of character sets required. Is anyone aware of any plans to correct this in future releases? Here is a thread on Microsoft's forums about the issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrmobility/thread/fe05 1d55-24ba-45e4-b054-67861f28422d/

We have tried Android, Windows Phone7/8 and they all adhere to the "Minimum number of character sets" set in the ActiveSync policy, but IOS does not.
Require an alphanumeric password Select this check box to require device passwords to contain both numbers and letters. The default is numbers only.
Passwords must include this many character sets To enhance the security of device passwords, you can require passwords to contain characters from multiple character sets. Select a number from 1 to 4. The sets are letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, if you select 3, passwords must contain characters from three of these sets.
All other mobile device except IOS 5.x/6.X don't follow this.
You have to select "Require an alphanumeric password" which is letters and numbers. But then you can only select 1-4 for the character sets.
So we set it at 1, so that would mean you would only need letters and numbers, IOS does not reconize letters, letters uppercase, numbers or symobols as a charator set, it interprets the setting as how symbols you need.
If you set it at 2, then IOS makes you have "2" symbols in your password.....and so on...
Make sense?
It just seems that IOS does not reconize charator sets, it just looks at the number as how many symbols you need in a password.

Are there any plans to fix the misinterpretation of the Exchange ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" in IOS5?

We are testing using IOS5 in our Corporate environment and came across a scenario where IOS5 incorrectly interprets the Exchange 2010 ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" as the number of special characters required rather than the number of character sets required.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrmobility/thread/fe05 1d55-24ba-45e4-b054-67861f28422d/

Thanks for the responses. I did submit this issue as a bug report earlier this morning also but thought I'd post here in the event any Apple insiders saw this and cared to comment.
This really is a significant problem in that our testing shows that the way IOS5 interprets this ActiveSync policy in Exchange 2010 does not allow you to enforce a password using just letters and numbers. This is because the only valid values for this policy are 1-4. The way IOS5 interprets this requires 1-4 special characters in the password, not 1-4 character sets.

What api would I use to get the number of chars in string?

What api would I use to get the number of chars in string?

Assuming that you really mean that you want the number of charaters in a String (not string), that would be documented in java.lang.String
The method is length()

Number representation of a string..

Hi all,
I want to get a number representation of a string. The string could be anything.
I do not need to be able to convert it back.
How can I do this?
No length or adding up the char codes is not good as ABD would be the same as BAD etc.
Well - A hash would do.
I've just found get_hash_value so that may be sufficient.
Edited by: user10071099 on Jun 17, 2009 10:02 AM

You could use rawtohex function for that ( or , if there should be no relation between string content and the number - you can use any of popular hash functions , such as sha1 or md5)

Assigning large number if character to a Codepage

Do we have a tool / process which can assign large number of character to a code page, which cannot be done by SAP SPUM4. There are 18 languages and 10 code pages.
Languages listed below,
French,English,German,Italian,Spanish,Portuguese,Bulgarian,Japanese,Chinese,Danish,Russian,Dutch,Finnish,Malaysian,Czech,Hungarian,Norwegian,Swedish
we run SPUM4 in our Development Environment and found 450.000 words without a language associated. This corresponds to 2,5 months of movements from our ERP productive clients. After applying a dictionary and language patterns provided by SAP, we have now 274.000 words left (and 150.000 duplicates). I need to find other ways to decrease this number so that I end up with a workable list of words.

There is no method but assigning them more or less manually or using hints.
You may check for special characters in languages, e. g. the polish ł will be displayed as ³ when you login in English - although this may also be a different character.
We had the same "problem" with 8 languages (including more than one Asian language) so it was cumbersome.

Find number of lines a string will wrap to?

I'd like to find the number of lines a string will wrap to, given a font and a width.
Is this possible?
Thanks

You could get the height of resulting string using sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize, and then divide it by the height of one line (computed using the saem function with jsut one letter).

Needed program unit to translate number as currency to string

HI All,
Can you please tell me if there is existing program unit that i can use to translate number as currency to string
Ex:
i have numbeer like 110.5 and currency code EGP
i need the program unit to return
Only One Hundred Ten Egyptian Pound (s) and Fifty Piaster (s)
for ococourse if the EGP is USD it'll return dollar instead of egyptian pound
Thanks you

Yeah i already did so and i got the function and used it my problem just in the currency translation for decimals
that means when i need to translate 100.5 EGP
one hundred Egyptian Pounds and fifty piasters
i can now translate to one hundred Egyptian Pounds and fifty but what about the piasters
i think i had to create a table that contains a currency code and the corresponding currency translation piasters , cents , ...etc
so i think i'll have to search on google about the currency transaltion for the decimal point currency i hoped there is a tabke in the e-business suite contains it as it exists for the currency code

Trying to determine the last occurence of a number within a word string.

Hi All,
I am trying to find the last occurence of a number within a string. I have had a quick look at the Java Tutorial and know about lastIndexOf and substring. The thing is I have to test for the existance of the numbers 0-9 within a product code that typically looks like this:
s1_14G12B
s1_17G1BA
s2_24GD
The only part of the above strings that I am interested in is the letter(s) that follow the very last number, so in the case of those codes presented above, I would like to extract the following:
B
BA
D
I have written some code that performs a similar operation:
public class FindPriceCode
private String priceCode;
private String[] numberValues = {"0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"};
public FindPriceCode()
    priceCode = "s2_71G4BA";
    for(int i=0; i<numberValues.length; i++)
      int location = priceCode.lastIndexOf(numberValues);
System.out.println("Character " + numberValues[i] + " found at position: " + location);
public static void main(String[] args)
FindPriceCode myPriceCode = new FindPriceCode();
...finding the location of numberValues string within the given example code. I am now at a loss as to how I can determine the location of the last number occurence (moving right to left) and then build a substring from that number. Any help will be greatly appreicated.
Thanks
David

Query to separate the number and character

Hi,
I have the string like '1000xyza' and query should return 1000 only.
example data:
source string = '1000xyz'
output = 1000
source string = '1000 xyz'
output = 1000
I need to use this logic in trigger, and currently I'm checking character by character in for loop to get number and it is taking long time to execute.
Please suggest better way
Thanks for help
Thanks,
Vijay

maybe this will somehow help.
