Passwing Parameters with Wild card Charactars

Using Reports and Forms server, I am passing parameters from a ASP page to a Report.
When I pass the full parameter to the report, like the word ORACLE, things are great.
When I try to add a wild card to the parameter, like OR%, things don't work so well. I receive an error:
"Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time. Oracle Reports Server CGI - Your URL contains badly-formed escapes."
Any Help?
Thanks

use hexadecimal value ex. for space it is %20 or u can use
urlencode function

How to create in house distribution provisional profile with wild card?

Hi,
I have enrolled for iOS enterprise distribution and created distribution certificate and App-id with wild card (e.g. com.companyname.*) from the portal (not from the xcode).
When I am trying to create the in house distribution provisional profile from portal, it is not listing the App-id with wild card. I can only create the profile with explicit App-id. I checked with other enterprise account but they are able to create such profiles.
How can I get in-house distribution profile linked with wild card App-id?
Thank you.

Did you find a solution for this? I encounter the same issue.

Terminal command to rename files in bulk with wild cards?

I had a group of files that had double extensions in the name and I wanted to strip the second extension:
myfile.r01.1
myfile.r02.1
so that the new names were
myfile.r01
myfile.r02
In DOS this would be accomplished easily by using the command line:
rename myfile.r??.1 myfile.r??
In OS X Terminal/Bash shell, though I couldn't find a command that has similar function that allows the use of wild cards in the file names.
I tried both the 'mv' abd 'cp' commands along the lines of:
mv myfile.r??.1 myfile.r??
but nothing worked, even using the * for the wildcard.
I did manage to use the Automator to accomplish the task by using some of its Finder options, but really, a simple command line would have been simpler and easier than building an Automator workflow for this.
Can anyone point me to a unix command that would have done what I am looking for, and the proper syntax for it?
Thanks.

How do I rename "*.foo" to "*.bar", or change file names to lowercase?
Why doesn't "mv *.foo *.bar" work? Think about how the shell
expands wildcards. "*.foo" and "*.bar" are expanded before the
mv command ever sees the arguments. Depending on your shell,
this can fail in a couple of ways. CSH prints "No match."
because it can't match "*.bar". SH executes "mv a.foo b.foo
c.foo *.bar", which will only succeed if you happen to have a
single directory named "*.bar", which is very unlikely and almost
certainly not what you had in mind.
Depending on your shell, you can do it with a loop to "mv" each
file individually. If your system has "basename", you can use:
C Shell:
foreach f ( *.foo )
set base=`basename $f .foo`
mv $f $base.bar
end
Bourne Shell:
for f in *.foo; do
base=`basename $f .foo`
mv $f $base.bar
done
Some shells have their own variable substitution features, so
instead of using "basename", you can use simpler loops like:
C Shell:
foreach f ( *.foo )
mv $f $f:r.bar
end
Korn Shell:
for f in *.foo; do
mv $f ${f%foo}bar
done
If you don't have "basename" or want to do something like
renaming foo.* to bar.*, you can use something like "sed" to
strip apart the original file name in other ways, but the general
looping idea is the same. You can also convert file names into
"mv" commands with 'sed', and hand the commands off to "sh" for
execution. Try
ls -d *.foo | sed -e 's/.*/mv & &/' -e 's/foo$/bar/' | sh
A program by Vladimir Lanin called "mmv" that does this job
nicely was posted to comp.sources.unix (Volume 21, issues 87 and
88) in April 1990. It lets you use
mmv '*.foo' '=1.bar'
Shell loops like the above can also be used to translate file
names from upper to lower case or vice versa. You could use
something like this to rename uppercase files to lowercase:
C Shell:
foreach f ( * )
mv $f `echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
end
Bourne Shell:
for f in *; do
mv $f `echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
done
Korn Shell:
typeset -l l
for f in *; do
l="$f"
mv $f $l
done
If you wanted to be really thorough and handle files with `funny'
names (embedded blanks or whatever) you'd need to use
Bourne Shell:
for f in *; do
g=`expr "xxx$f" : 'xxx(.*)' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
mv "$f" "$g"
done
The `expr' command will always print the filename, even if it
equals `-n' or if it contains a System V escape sequence like `c'.
Some versions of "tr" require the [ and ], some don't. It
happens to be harmless to include them in this particular
example; versions of tr that don't want the [] will conveniently
think they are supposed to translate '[' to '[' and ']' to ']'.
If you have the "perl" language installed, you may find this
rename script by Larry Wall very useful. It can be used to
accomplish a wide variety of filename changes.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# rename script examples from lwall:
# rename 's/.orig$//' *.orig
# rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/ unless /^Make/' *
# rename '$_ .= ".bad"' *.f
# rename 'print "$_: "; s/foo/bar/ if <stdin> =~ /^y/i' *
$op = shift;
for (@ARGV) {
$was = $_;
eval $op;
die $@ if $@;
rename($was,$_) unless $was eq $_;

Remote ssh commands with wild cards

I am trying to send a remote command via ssh - need to get a file listing in a directory using a wild card. However, the ssh command will not return results using a wild card:
ssh [email protected] sudo ls -l /var/audit-files/201110* (directory requires root permission)
/var/audit-files/201110*: No such file or directory
I've tried quoting the command, the directory, the file names, etc - same results. It will only work with a specific name that exists, but not with a wild card. Is there a way to make this work?

This is a rather complex situation. The problem is that you need to quote the '*' character; however, quoting it once may not be enough. Every time the command goes through a shell you'll strip out a set of quotes. It isn't clear to me how many times this will go through the shell but I'm guessing you'll have to at least double quote it.
ssh [email protected] sudo ls -l "/var/audit-files/201110\*"
I won't guarantee that this will work but it might. I don't know what the permissions are on /var/audit_files. If you need root to read that you may need to triple quote it. I've never had much luck getting the quotes right in complicated situations like this.

Hi Mike,
You can actually just check for the existence of the cell:
var l_Cell = $x(pId);
if (l_Cell)
rest of the code to hide the column
}As long as l_Cell refers to a valid page item, then the if test passes and the rest of your code can run.

Set Bookmark Open Options to Open File with Wild Cards

Hi there Guys. I need help with something. I work on manuals with various table of contents that contain bookmarks and a lot of them are basically cookie cutter.
Here is what I am wondering:
The bookmarks are in numerical order and need to link to an individual PDF
file in the same folder:
Example:
Bookmark 1: "1. Office Hour Files for ABC company dated 10/01/07." needs to link to a file called "Office Hour Files for ABC company dated 10/01/07.PDF".
Bookmark 2: "1. Healthcare Benefits for ABC company dated 09/30/07."
needs to link to a file called "1. Healthcare Benefits for ABC company
dated 09/30/07.PDF".
ETC.
Also, the file names -- not the bookmark names -- need to be shortened to 75 characters or less most of the time due to cd burning software. So soemtimes (or most of the time) the file name is much shorter than the original bookmark name.
Is there code that I can use to batch process the Table of
Contents file to find bookmark in TOC file that starts with "1. [bookmark name]" and open file the corresponding file in the same folder that starts with "1. [truncated bookmark name].PDF"
then
with "2. [full bookmark name]" and open file that starts with "2.
[truncated bookmark name].PDF"
and so on maybe through
with "200. [full bookmark name]" and open file that starts with "200.
[truncated bookmark name].PDF"
THANKS SO MUCH... ANY HELP AT ALL WILL BE AWESOME. Also, let me know how
much it would cost if you know someone who could write the code for me.
PS: I can use ARTS-PDF software for batchprocessing. I use Acrobat 5.0.
I really have no reason to upgrade for my purposes, but will if needed. I
use a lot of keystroke features in 5.0 that are easier to use than in the
later versions.
later!!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!! BE WELL

Hi Dylan,
I have been searching along our forum, and found a similar question for using wildcards in selecting files. An active user (unclebump) replied on this request with a VI, with which you can select a folder on your computer which is scanned for certain files. I've adjusted this VI for selecting the CALDB_* files. Enclosed you will find this file (zipped) including my test folder.
Maybe this will be helpfull for your application.
Best regards,

another table2
name(VARCHAR2)
Alice
Bob
Jack
I need to write a stored procedure to check whether name of table 2 mactched any of the keyword char of table1. How to I write dynamic query in my PL/SQL stored procedure so that i can generate query similar to
SELECT * from table2 where name like '%X%' where i need to replace X with the char in table1
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Marutha

I need to write a stored procedure to check whether name of table 2 mactched any of the keyword char of table1You might simply join the tables:
SQL> with table1 as
select 1 id, 'A' keyword from dual union all
select 2 id, 'B' keyword from dual union all
select 3 id, 'C' keyword from dual
table2 as (
select 'Alice' name from dual union all
select 'Bob' name from dual union all
select 'Jack' name from dual
select * from table1, table2 where name like '%' || keyword || '%'
        ID KEYWORD NAME
         1 A       Alice
         2 B       Bob

How to query with wild card

hi friends
we have a requirement where if the user enters a letter in a field of selection-screen, he is supposed to get the fields details with its prefix entered in the selection-screen
eg: if user enters P and give execute
he needs to get the details of the particular field starting with P
how to code this
with regards
s.janagar

Hi,
Here wildcard character '%' can be used as pattern code. Character and then the '%' sign signifies that all values with character as first letter will be searched upon.
In your case use of like 'P%' in the where clause of the select statementr should solve the issue. e.g.,
select * from <tabname> into table <internal table> where <fieldname> like 'P%'.
searches all entries from table <tabname> and places them in internal table <internal table> where the field <fieldame> begin with P.
Thanks and Regards,

Find Command with Wild Cards

I have a very specific issue that I need to resolve.....I have the following directory structures on my Linux system
Test
..File 1
.....Ready
........File 1.txt
..File 2
.....Ready
........File 2.txt
..ect
These directories will be created dynamically by another process. I need to be able to find all files that are currently under a Ready directory....
I've tried the following command...
find -path /Test/*/Ready/* -type f
find / -path /Test/*/Ready/* -type f
find -wholename /Test/*/Ready/* -type f
All of these return the first file's full path, but as part of an error message..The message says "paths must precede expressioons"
Any ideas on how I can get the following results:
/Test/File 1/Ready/File 1.txt
/Test/File 2/Ready/File 2.txt
Thanks in advance for any help....
Jay

Jay,
I've tried the following command...
find -path /Test/*/Ready/* -type f
find / -path /Test/*/Ready/* -type f
find -wholename /Test/*/Ready/* -type fI think you got the point, but you need quote around the pattern.
find -path "/Test/*/Ready/*" -type f

Wild Card issue

Hi,
I have a noticed a weird thing with wild cards in sap standard table PROJ.
We have entries for 23* , 24* & 25* in SAP table PROJ. When I try these individually everything is working as required.
When I enter 23* to 24* i am getting all entries for 23* and 24*...
but when i try 23* to 25* I am not getting entries with 25..* but i am getting 23* & 24*.
I thought it issue would be with conversions exit from user parameters.. I tried uncheck and check it is not working.
What is wrong here?

I tried 23* to 24* -I am only getting 23* records....
I tried 23* to 26* -I am getting 23, 24 & 25* records....So it is chopping off last selection.

Characteristic wild card in report painter

Dear experts..
I am developing a report painter for PS cost element report with structure CCSS.
I want to create rows with dynamic characteristic and I am thinking of using wildcard in the characteristic variable.
What I am trying to achieve is basically to filter WBS only for those which consist "ABC" in the project number (ABC in POSID). I know it can be achieved in the selection screen but I want the selection screen to be as generic as possible and only filter it at row level.
In the normal functional report we can use '*' as the wildcard but it can not be used in characteristic variable.
Appreciate any enlightenment on how to use variable or set to be able to do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Alexei,
Welcome to SDN.
You need to give the exact file name. System can not determine file name with wild card.
Hope this will help.

Using a column twice in a dashboard prompt -- multi-select and wild-carding

My client is using OBIEE 10.1.3.2; they cannot upgrade at this time. However, they want to be able to enter both a list of values and a wild-card search for additional values at the same time for a single column in a dashboard prompt.
Since they cannot upgrade, they do not have the wild-card search feature of the enhanced multi-select prompt feature of 10.1.3.3 and later releases.
Has anyone found another method to do this, perhaps by using a column twice in a dashboard prompt or in separate dashboard prompts on the same dashboard apge, in order to OR the results of a multi-select and an edit box (with wild-card pattern-match entry)? I suspect that will not work -- that the results sets of one prompt for a column will override any other prompt result sets for the same column.
Has anyone found another way to do this, prior to release 10.1.3.3?

Yes, it is possible.
This is how to do it:
In your report you need to add two filters on the same column and combine them with OR.
First filter: is prompted.
Second filter: is like presentation_variable
Then protect this filter!* This will make that your prompt will be filtered on the pres. variable and that it won't be overwritten by another prompt.
Now create your dashboard prompt:
First add your column with an edit box and attach the presentation variable to it.
Then edit the formula of the column, so it will not reference to the column anymore. (Which isn't needed, since the value will be set to the pres. variable.)
Then add the same column with a multi-select.
Then test it and check your results.
Regards,
Stijn

Wild card in LSMW

I am useing LSMW for creating material master data from external files.
I am using in "Specify files" a wild card.
All steps are executing in backgraund with report

But at the end, report RMDATIND starts.
I can not write wildcard in the file name for variant.
What I have to write in file name instead wildcard?

Wild card highlighting

CTX_DOC.MARKUP is working fine for basic word search & stemming, but does not highlight for wild card search.
For example, searches for "roam" and "$roam" highlight the word "roams", but searches for "roam%" do NOT highlight the word "roams".
The Text Reference guide indicates that there shouldn't be any problems with wild card highlighting.
Any suggestions?

It works fine for me, as demonstrated below. Is your index synchronization current? Can you find the value with a contains query without markup? Is roams one of your stopwords?
scott@ORA92> create table test_tab
2    (id      number primary key,
3      test_col varchar2(30))
4 /
Table created.
scott@ORA92> insert into test_tab values (1, 'roams')
2 /
1 row created.
scott@ORA92> create index test_idx on test_tab (test_col)
2 indextype is ctxsys.context
3 /
Index created.
scott@ORA92> select * from test_tab where contains (test_col, 'roam%') > 0
2 /
        ID TEST_COL
         1 roams
scott@ORA92> create table markuptab

4 /
