OBIEE - Find position of the last occurrence of a charcter within a string.

Hi,
I have a requirement in 11.1.1.6.9 to be locate the position of the last occurrence of a character within a string.
i.e. Given the following, I would want to locate the last "/":
This/is/an/exampleI would like to return a value of 11. Now, there could be any number of "/" so I can't always locate the nth one - it must be the last one.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Your requirement is not complete. just in case you want to extract the last part 'example' just use substring and replace to trim up to required part.
You may have to go for the same for multiple times.
ETL is the best to handle this than BI.
BTW: Check this How to use locate function if multiple occurences of same character

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

Another way would be using transaction STAT,enter the t-code you like to monitor.This will provide all details,like user, time etc...
Hope this will help

I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?

I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?

As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

It is worth to try if your photos are important.

Add effects the last occurrence of a sound

Hello,
is there a way to add an effect the last occurrence of a sound? That is to say if I have lead synth playing and then at the point I want the sounds to finish I want echo effect. I can I add that some how the end of the lead or do I need to have a separate track just for that effect?
Thanks!

Have you worked through the "Exploring Logic Pro" manual? It introduces these things and gives you a tour through the basic functions so you know how to do the core stuff.
Each channel strip has sends (underneath the insert slots and above the I/O slots). If you send to Bus 1, and turn up the send knob next to the send you've just added, then place your delay plugin on the new aux channel strip that is created (which will have Bus 1 as it's input), now your audio is being send to the delay.
Then you automate the send knob just like you automate any other parameter in Logic. If you don't know what automation is, or how to do it, again, work through the small introductory Exploring Logic Pro manual to get the basic concepts.

How can I get the last occurrence of a repeated item in Numbers

Hi everyone, I'm hoping this question has a straightforward answer.
I have a simple 2-column table (Table 1). Column A is a list of names. Column B is a list of dates where those names have had appointments. (Most names in Column A are repeated because they have had multiple appointments).
I'd like to create an automated table based Table 1 that lists each name from Column A only once, with the last appointment that each person has had.
Any ideas, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Late to the party, as I was called to dinner shortly after starting on a solution and wasn't able to get back to it for a few hours.
This was worked out in Numbers '09 (v2.3), but the formulas should work as well in Numbers 3. The solution requires the data on the Data table to be entered (or sorted) in ascending order of dates. Dulicate dates, though not included in the example, should not create an issue.
The added column (Name index—column C) may be hidden. It is needed to mark the first occurrence of each name, and required only if you want the name list in column A of the summary table (Most recent appointment) filled automatically.
Formulas:
Data::C2, and filled down to the end of column C: =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A)=1,MAX($C$1:C1)+1,"")
COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A) counts the number of occurences of the name in the same row as the formula from row 2 of column A to the row containing the formula. IF that count is 1, the number of the row is placed in the cell, otherwise the cell receives a null string ( "" ).
Most recent appointment table:
A2, and filled down to end of column A:
=IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Data :: C),"",OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,MATCH(ROW()-1,Data :: $C,0)-1,0))
If the row number minus 1 is greater than the number of distinct names in the index column, a null string is placed in the cell. Otherwise, the OFFSET function uses MATCH to determine the row in which to find the next name (in order of first appearance) and places that name in its cell.
B2 and filled down: =IF(LEN(A)>0,LOOKUP(A,Data :: $A,Data :: $B),"")
IF here uses LEN() to determine if there is data (a name) in column A. If so, then LOOKUP looks up the name in column A of the Data table and returns the date from the same row of column B. If there's no data (name) in column A, IF places a null string in the cell.
This formula takes advantage of the fact that LOOKUP searches from the bottom of the column, and returns the result from the first match it finds.

Barry

I lost all my bookmarks and i can't find them in the last ten packups.How can i bring them back?

i'm not sure what i have done...either i reinstalled forefox or updated it before and then..i didn't find any of my bookmarks..i restored already the oldest one of the last ten packups...but i couldn't find any of them too..i don't know how this could happen with firefox..plz tell me how can i bring them back?..

Hi youssef8888, you might also want to search your entire C drive to see whether your bookmark backup files might be in an unexpected location. I would try this pattern:
bookmarks-2013*.*
To make sure your search checks for hidden files and folders, see this article from Microsoft: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files].

Find my iphone... does it find it from the last back up?

I lost my phone today and when I used the find my iphone tool, it says it is somewhere in my home, but I have searched high and low.. to no avail. The device has nto been backed up in months, becuase theres to much data; does it work from the last time i backed it up, or does that not amke a difference

That backup function of iCloud and the Find My iPhone feature are two seperate features and have absolutely no effect on each other. If you are able to locate the device, that means it is currently on and you should be able to use the 'Play a Sound' feature form the Find My iPhone App or icloud.com/find and it will make a very loud annoying alert just for situations like yours, even if the iPhone is on silent.

Remove the last chr(13) & chr(10) from a string

Hello, all.
I'm trying to get confirmation files to upload to Amazon for their "Charge When Ship" program. I've got the file creating as it should be with one minor exception.
I'm setting a variable, giving it the header column information and ending that with chr(13) & chr(10); then I'm looping through a query to add the information, each iteration tacks chr(13) & chr(10) to the end of it; then I'm taking that variable and writing the data to a file using CFFILE.
But I think that the last chr(13) & chr(10) is causing Amazon servers to think there's one more line of information than there really is, and it's erroring.
Can anyone tell me how to remove that last chr(13) & chr(10) from the variable before writing it to file?
Thanks,
^_^

Trim() the variable or change the code so it does not generate an extra new line.
Since your content has a header, place the new line characters at the beginining of each query iteration.

My photos are not working, any recently taken photos won't show, they're just like blank grey pictures & all my photos cannot be uploaded or loaded into an editing tap, it says error, cannot find photo, and the last photo I take ends up being repeated!

someone please help me! I just traveled to hong long and the minute I arrived something wrong was happening with my photos, I can't take any new photos because if I did they either get repeated or just be shown as grey pictures and when I try to upload one to a photo editing app it says "error cannot Load photo" and the same happens in twitter and Facebook! this has been found on for Like more than a week now, even when I want to set a picture as my profile picture in man it ends up zooming the picture way more than how I chose it in the border,, I would like to be able to take good photos again, any help?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Reference the "Noteproperty" of an object from within a string

Hello...this is more of a learning question...I am just curious if there is a more effecient way to do something:
Lets say I have the following code (simplified version of what am I actually trying to do):
$ServerObject = New-Object System.Object
$ServerObject | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name ServerName -Value "MYSERVER"
$ServerObject | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name OS -Value "WIN2008R2"
$Server = $ServerObject | Select-Object ServerName,OS
And I want to do something like this:
Write-Host "$Server.ServerName is blah blah blah...."
But obviously this does not work. Is there a way to code this without creating a second variable? For example, I know this will work:
$MyServerName = $Server.ServerName
Write-Host "$MyServerName is blah blah blah"
But I am wondering if there is a better way to do this without a second variable. I have tried:
$(Server).ServerName
$(Server.Server)
{$Server.ServerName}
And a few others - but none of these work (other than using a second variable). Obviously my real script involves 100's of servers in an array of objects, but for purposes of my question, the above code similutes what I am trying to do. I have
also looked into concatenating the strings, but in my real script I am using Out-File and it tells me I cannot use the "+" operator for the -Input parameter...so I would still have to use a second variable.
Thanks
NK

I was soooo close! Thanks. Oh and I think you missed a "(". I think it should be:
Write-Host "$(($Server).ServerName) is blah blah blah"
thanks again,
NK
