Pass double-quote inside a string via flashvars and SWFObject?

Hi All,
Consider some SWFObject code like this:
flashvars.data1 = "{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}";
flashvars.data2 = '{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}';
If I host my SWF in IE, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data1 will be a string, with double-quotes (" entities will be translated to double quotes). However, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data2 will simply be the one-character string "{".
The opposite is true in Firefox. FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data2 will be a string, with double-quotes (" entities will be translated to double quotes). However, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.data1 will simply be the one-character string "{".
How can I pass a double-quote in a flashvar using SWFObject that works in all browsers? I've been searching on this and haven't been able to find a straight answer...
-Josh

This works in both IE, Firefox, and Chrome:
flashvars.data2 = escape('{"requestId":14979,"email":"[email protected]","zip":"12345"}');
Is that the way to go if you want double quotes in your string?

Double Quotes in MaxL Strings

I am trying to pass in a calc script string from a Perl script to a MaxL script. The calc script needs double quotes around some of the member names (yes, I know I can create aliases with underscores to work around this, but I can't believe this isn't possible). I can escape the double quote characters in Perl, no problem. But the double quotes just get stripped by MaxL. Here is an example: MAXL> echo 'I am "quoting" this'; I am "quoting" this MAXL> set X = 'I am "quoting" this'; MAXL> echo $X; I am quoting this MAXL> There is nothing in the docs about escaping double quote characters. I've tried using backslash, no luck there. I've tried using double double quotes and they all get stripped. I've tried doing this inside single quoted strings and double quoted strings - no joy whatsoever. The funny thing is the example above, where simply echoing the literal string works, but assigning it to a variable strips out the double quotes. Does anyone know how to get double quotes into a MaxL string variable? There has to be a way... Thanks, James

Yes, I've dealt with enclosing variables in double quotes in order for MaxL to parse them properly, but what I'm trying to do is use a variable that contains a double quote. Such as: set QuoteVar = 'I am "quoting" this'; I'm trying to set substitution variables via MaxL, and some of my existing sub vars have double quotes in them so that they can be used to store member names that appear in calc scripts. As I said, I know I can accomplish this with an alias table that creates a version of the member name that doesn't need quotes, but that's a whole deal to maintain just for this one thing and it seems overly burdensome for such a simple task. Also, as I said, MaxL does fine with double quotes in literal strings, it's only when assigned to variables that it always strips them out. I want to create a relatively generic script for setting sub vars, so I need to pass variables around. Just calling MaxL from Perl and passing in parameters that get converted to $1, $2, etc. causes these double quotes to get stripped. So, is there any way around this? Thanks, James

SQL Loader: double quotes inside double quotes

Hello,
I need to find a solution for loading some data that contains double quotas. The csv contains data like:
"1";"Name1";"Name2"

The data inside the " " must be loaded exactly as it is, that means that in the DB, for row2, column2 the data must be: Name3 "another thing here". I cannot remove the qoutes.

How to replace double quotes with a single quote in a string ?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me how to replace double Quote (") in a string with a single quote (') ? I tried to use REPLACE function, but I couldn;t get it worked.
My example is SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', ''') FROM Dual --This one throws an error
Thanks,

Whether it is maybe not the more comfortable way, I like the quoting capabitlity from 10g :
SQL> SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', q'(')') FROM Dual;

Some fields in the CSV file can have double quotes (") inside the values like:

When this happens, the adapter reject the file. How can i solve this issue? There is some option to set inside the XSD?
Thank you in advance.
Riccardo

Thank you for your help, but I've already tried with the quotedBy atribute and it doesn't work. The double quote character can occur multiple times inside the single value and it's not representing a delimiter: it's a part of the field value. For me it's not important, it could be ignored, but the problem is that I don't know how, since the adapter fails to read the file rejecting it.

How to replace one double quotes with two double quotes in XSLT

How can I replace one double quote to a two double quote in a string in XSLT
I am passing the parameter string to XSLT template contains the value as
<xsl:variable name="Description">Hi! "How are you</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="VQuotes">""</xsl:variable>
I nead the output as
Hi! ""How are you.
Tried with Translate function, but it did not work out
<xsl:element name="DESCRIPTION_SHORT">
 <xsl:value-of select="translate($Description,'"', VQuotes)" />
 </xsl:element>But it is giving the same result as Hi! "How are you
When I tried with
<xsl:element name="DESCRIPTION_SHORT">
 <xsl:value-of select="translate($Description,'"', 'BB')" />
 </xsl:element>
It gave the result as
Hi! BHow are you.
It is replacing only one character with one. how to make it for two characters.
Am I doing anything wrong in syntax?
Please help.
Regards, Vignesh S

Hi Vignesh,
Try this.
Its a two step process:
Step1: Add the following template would be "called" to do the replacement as your want:
<xsl:template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<xsl:param name="replace" />
<xsl:param name="by" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$by" />
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="substring-after($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Step2: Call the above templeate in the place where you want to call, like this:

<xsl:variable name="Description">Hi! "How are you</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="sQuotes">"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="VQuotes">""</xsl:variable>

<xsl:element name="DESCRIPTION_SHORT">
<xsl:variable name="myVar">
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$Description" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$sQuotes" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="$VQuotes" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$myVar" />
</xsl:element>
I have tested this and works. And outputs as the following with two-double quote as you want.
<DESCRIPTION_SHORT>Hi!
""How are you</DESCRIPTION_SHORT>

Single and double quotes entered in form field cause corruption?

I am creating a database change request system using in APEX 2.2 and the main form has a description field (clob) and a API_description field (varchar2(4000)) that are text area fields on the page. The form seems to have trouble when the string data entered into the text area page items on the form contain single and double quotes.
 
I have pasted my test data below in this problem description(this is not true sql but it gets the point accross). I use the wizard created insert process to get the data into the db from the text fields in the wizard generated form, then use the wizard created fetch process to get the data back out and rendered on the same form. When I use the test data below, sometimes a few characters dissappear from my input data on the way out, sometime form fields go away, and their html is interspersed with the previous form field's data on the page. And I get different results on different tests with the same data.
 
Do I have to do something special for a vanilla htmldb text page item on a form to be able to receive single and double quotes in the string input in order to avoid that string data confusing the processing on the way in to the Database or on the way out for rendering?
 
Do I have to escape the characters? How do I do this?
 
The "varchar2(1) := ‘A’" part of the below TEST DATA string seem to cause the most trouble. The behavior is erratic - sometimes the pattern works, sometimes html is interspersed in one place, sometimes another (on the way back out)
 
START TEST DATA:
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);
Or
create new table as follows
create table “someschema”.“sometable”
(id number not null,
Name varchar2(20) not null,
Join_date sysdate
Active varchar2(1) := ‘A’
END TEST DATA:
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Here is an example of the test data being displayed after being fetched back out of oracle (this will look like gibberish when rendered in the forum system (end of problem description except for example):
 
env
Add column pcl3_data_ind varchar2(1) to edc_tran,edc_log, edc_recreate_tran table
Or
Create a file with following sql in it
Insert into sometable values(‘A’,sysdate);

I found a good php related post that has a nice set of the potentially problematic characters (this is in the context of word pasted into IE I think).

Double quotes issue with GUI_UPLOAD

Hello Gurus,
I'm uploading a tab delimited file from my PC using GUI_UPLOAD. I've a description field (Char 40) in my input file which contains characters like double quotes or commas or single quotes. Whenever there is a comma or a double quote in the desc field in my input file, the field value is uploaded into the program as the actual value with double quotes in front of the value and at the end of the value.
Say if I'm uploading steel 1", then it is uploaded into the program as "steel 1"". Any ideas why is this and how to fix it.
JJ

Appreciate ur answer Anand. I want to know why I get the value with double quotes in front of it and towards the end of it. I know that I can get rid of the extra double quotes with offsetting and replace statement...Thats not what I was expecting. I want to know why the extra double quotes are coming into the picture.
FYI, I'm on ECC 6.0 and the snippet of my code is:
DATA: lv_file TYPE string.
lv_file = p_file.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 EXPORTING
 filename = lv_file
 filetype = 'ASC'
 has_field_separator = 'X'
 TABLES
 data_tab = itab_file.

Can't import csv fields starting with double quotes but lack ending ones

Hi all,
When I'm trying to used external table to import a csv file, specified as using comma as delimiter optionally enclosed by double quotes, some records are rejected because a field in the record has starting double quotes, but without ending ones.
Assume the customer really want these starting double quotes, how do I change my external table specification such that these starting double quotes are treated as part of the field data and can be successfully inserted into db?
Many thanks.

I have no access to Oracle during weekends, so nothing can be tested. So here it goes:
Suggestion: DELIMITED BY '","' and of course omitt ENCLOSED BY '"'
You will have to update each row of the rows just loaded setting the first_field to substr(first_field,2) and the last_field to substr(last_field,-2)
If all the fields are not enclosed in double quotes (TRUE for strings and FALSE for numbers and dates) the situation (syntax diagrams allow two delimiters only) is somehow more complicated, anyway you can specify DELIMITED BY ',' and update all varchar2 fields in each row of the rows just loaded setting the varchar2_field to substr(varchar2_field,2,length(varchar2_field) - 2).
Regards
Etbin
After posting I noticed it's difficult to distinguish between single and double quotes:
the first DELIMITED BY should read {single quote){double quote}{comma}{double quote}{single quote)
the ENCLOSED BY should read {single quote){double quote}{single quote)

QUOTED IDENTIFIER (DASH in COLUMN NAME) - and DBMS_XMLSAVE

I HAD to create a View where the column names had embedded dashes in order to correspond to the XML I am receiving. The view contains the columns:
V_VEND_H_XML - view name
BATCH-UNIQUE-ID
ADD-COUNT
MODIFY-COUNT
DELETE-COUNT
REACTIVATE-COUNT
TRANSACTION-DATE
ACTION-TIME
When I created it and when I reference a column I am supposed to put the column name in double quotes (").
I am encountering 2 problems when I try to use these column.
1. I need to do the following functions/procedures and provide the column name:
DBMS_XMLSave.setKeyColumn(l_ctx,'"BATCH-UNIQUE-ID"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"ADD-COUNT"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"MODIFY-COUNT"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"DELETE-COUNT"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"REACTIVATE-COUNT"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"TRANSACTION-DATE"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setUpdateColumn(l_ctx,'"ACTION-TIME"');
DBMS_XMLSave.setCommitBatch(l_ctx, 0);
V_rowcount := DBMS_XMLSave.updateXML(l_ctx, v_clob);
(I have tried with and without the double quotes - inside the require single quotes)
In the example above, I get an error which implies that the package code is changing the case to lower case (see "batch-unique-id" below)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Column '"batch-unique-id"', specified to be a key column, does not not exits in table 'V_IFMIS_VEND_XML_H_XMIT2'.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_XMLSAVE", line 65
ORA-06512: at line 48
Does anyone know how I can make this work?

This is a genuine bug, not specific to XE. Here is a minimal testcase:
-- Use a fresh-from-the-seed database
CONNECT Sys/Sys@11202 AS SYSDBA
create edition e1 as child of Ora$Base

alter database default edition = e1
-- Wait for MMON to switch over
begin DBMS_Lock.Sleep(5); end;
drop edition Ora$Base cascade

Extracting string inside double quote

Hi,
In perl this is really easy, but I can't get it to work correclt in java. I'm trying to extract a string that is in double quotes following a keyword...
String: SRCH base="o=answer" filter="me" attrs=ALL
I want to extract the first quoted value after "SRCH base="
In perl I used: / SRCH base=\"(.*)\" /i
In java I'm using: " SRCH base=\"(.*)\" "
The problem is that it doesn't stop after hitting the second quote. So I get this result:
o=answer" filter="me
Notice that it stopped matching after hitting the third quote. Weird.
I know this is probably really simple, but I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Mark

I guess if you wrote a regex that matches any string
that starts with ", ends with ", and has anything in
between you could use a Matcher to find each
occurrence, but I don't regex enough to write it :)[url #" style="display: block; background-image: url('http://www.shanghaiist.com/attachments/shang_neil/bat-signal-edit.jpg'); width: 325px; height: 217px]

SSRS Report Returning Double Quote string from a Single Quote String

Hi, I'm getting weird thing in resultset from SSRS report when executed. When I pass parameter to a report, which passes String that has single quote value to a split function , it returns rows with double quote.
For example following string:
'N gage, Wash 'n Curl,Murray's, Don't-B-Bald
Returns:
''N gage, Wash ''n Curl,Murray''s, Don''t-B-Bald
through SSRS report.
Here is the split function Im using in a report.
CREATE Function [dbo].[fnSplit] (
@List varchar(8000),
@Delimiter char(1)
Returns @Temp1 Table (
ItemId int Identity(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ,
Item varchar(8000) NULL
As
Begin
Declare @item varchar(4000),
@iPos int
Set @Delimiter = ISNULL(@Delimiter, ';' )
Set @List = RTrim(LTrim(@List))
-- check for final delimiter
If Right( @List, 1 ) <> @Delimiter -- append final delimiter
Select @List = @List + @Delimiter -- get position of first element
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
While @iPos > 0
Begin
-- get item
Select @item = LTrim( RTrim( Substring( @List, 1, @iPos -1 ) ) )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- remove item form list
Select @List = Substring( @List, @iPos + 1, Len(@List) - @iPos + 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break -- insert item
Insert @Temp1 Values( @item ) If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
-- get position pf next item
Select @iPos = Charindex( @Delimiter, @List, 1 )
If @@ERROR <> 0 Break
End
Return
End
FYI: I'm getting @List value from a table and passing it as a string to split function.
Any help would be appreciated!
