Hi Varun, You could use either of below.. REG_REPLACE(YOUR_INPUT_STR,^[A-Za-z0-9 ],NULL) -- Replaces all non-alphanumeric with null
REG_EXTRACT(YOUR_INPUT_STR,[A-Za-z0-9 ]) -- Extracts only alphanumeric data -Rajani

Sql to remove special characters from my search

Hi everyone. I'm very new to sql and have hit another road block. I am doing a query on my database in oracle sql developer. I want to search manufacturer numbers but sometimes they were entered with dashes ( 999-99-9999) and other times not (999999999) is it possible to apply a function to overlook the dash in both my query numbers and in the database mfr_nbr column?
any help would be appreciated.

ok, I have built a nesting string of replaces to remove all of my special characters and it worked perfectly but now I am not sure where to place the nest later in the string to remove it from my search of mfr numbers. The reason I need to do it again is because I want to remove the characters so I am searching in terms of " apples to apples" so to speak.   here is my string so far. I still need to add the part where I put in my search for the manuf_item_nbr. my question is where do I need to place the nested replace's to remove it from my numbers I'm going to search?

How can I remove special characters from spreadsheet filename?

Hi
Having a spreadsheet filename coded (on the Report Attributes page) as &VARIABLE..csv works fine unless the VARIABLE contains special characters such as space, lt, gt and so on.
In the case of space, it is replaced by %20 in the generated filename. Is it possible convert the %20s to underscores (or remove them)?
thanks
Trevor

Trevor,
I would use a computation on that page to alter the value of variable, perhaps a SQL Expression such as:
replace (:VARIABLE, ' ', '_')Alternatively, look at the process that puts the value into VARIABLE in the first place and ensure no spaces >, etc are assigned.

OK Here you are:
protected static String removeJunk(String string)
          int i, len = string.length();
          StringBuffer dest = new StringBuffer(len);
          char c;
          for (i = (len - 1); i >= 0; i--)
               c = string.charAt(i);
               if (Character.isLetterOrDigit(c))
                    dest.append(c);

Need to remove special characters

Hello All
Some input is comming from source field, if any special characters comming from source field, I need remove special characters and send data source to target field. please suggest me how will i do .
Thanks&Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
check this thread.
Handling Special Characters
check the document :

Depends upon encoding methods handling will differ,
you can use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8 for some special characters.

Removing special characters

Hi,
I have to remove special characters from string and replace it with space.
Kindly help its urgent.
Thanks

Hi,
You Can use Overlay command for this.
Syntax
OVERLAY text1 WITH text2 [ONLY pattern].
Effect
Characters in the text1 variable are replaced by characters in the text2 data object which are there in the same location. If the ONLY addition is not specified, all blank characters in text1 are replaced. If the ONLY addition is specified, all characters are replaced that occur in the pattern data object, and upper and lowercase is taken into consideration. If the lengths of text1 and text2 are different, text1 is processed using the shorter length only.
CONSTANTS initial_time TYPE t VALUE IS INITIAL.
DATA: time TYPE t,
text(4) TYPE c.
text = '12'.
time = text.
write : time.

Error during data load due to special characters in source data

Hi Experts,
We are trying to load Billing data into the BW using the billing item datasource. It seems that there are some special characters in the source data. When the record with these characters is encountered, the request turns red and the package is not loaded even into the PSA. The error we get in the monitor is something like
'RECORD 5028: Contents from field **** cannot be converted into type CURR',
where the field **** is a key figure of type currency. We managed to identify the said record in RSA3 on the source system and found that one of the fields contains some invalid (special) characters that show up as squares in RSA3. The data in the rest of the fields, including the fields mentioned in the error looks correct.
Our source system is a non-unicode system wheras the BW system is unicode enabled. I figure that the data in the rest of the fields are getting misaligned due to the presence of the invalid characters in the above field. This was confirmed when we unassigned the field with the special characters from the transfer rules and removed the source field from the transfer structure. After doing this the data was loaded successfully and the request turned green.
Can anyone suggest a way to either filter out such invalid characters from the source data or make some settings in the BW systems such that the special characters are no longer invalid in the BW system? We cannot write code in the transfer rules because the data package does not even come into the PSA. Is there any other method to solve this problem?
Regards,
Ted

Hi Thad,
I was wondering, if system is unicode or non unicode that should not matter the amount and currency field . As currencies are defined by SAP and it is in pure English at least a currency code part of 3 Chars.
Could this because of some incosistency of data ??
I would like to know for Which currency had some special characters it it in that particular record ??
Hope that helps.

Hmm... actually it's straight forward:
drop table mytexts
create table mytexts (comment varchar(50))
insert into mytexts values ('This is a standard text!')
insert into mytexts values ('There comes a TAB     <--')
insert into mytexts values ('This is called a newline
<--<')
select * from mytexts

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Handling Special characters in the data set

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in hadling special characters while writing data to a flat file.
The data fetched in toad query is *44CAÑADO* (with some specail character over N), but when this same data is written in textpad using UTL_FILE.put_line, the data written is converted to *44CAÃ‘ADO*.
Can anyone please help me how to handle these special charatcers so that the same data is written in text file as well.
Regards,
Shruti

To find the database characterset, please see (Character Sets & Conversion - Frequently Asked Questions [ID 227330.1] -- 2. What is the database character set used for and how is it set?)
For your issue, please see these MOS docs.

Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

Hi,
I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9. I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically). For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906." I found this script that will not let users input special characters
if (!event.willCommit) {
event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces. Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
Thanks in advance!

From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
Hope this can help.
Max Wyss.

How can i remove the special characters from my keyboard on my iphone3gs

how can i remove the special character from my keybord keys on my iphone 3gs

What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.
