Reading String within the single quotes

Hi All,
Can you please let me know, how to read a String within the sinle quote in line.
I have to read a report into internal table and again from that I need to read a string within the single quote. Please help me in this.
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu

I have the following code:
REPORT test.
DATA: v_test(05) TYPE c.
v_test = TTT.
I am getting this errror:
Field TTT is unknown. It is neither kin on e of the specified tables nor defined by a DATA statement.
For some reason, my single quote is not being recognized from my keyboard. I noticed that my emotion icons are not being displayed either (example: I type and i do NOT get the smiley face on my end).
Is there a button that I pressed that caused that?

String value changes single quote ' to double quote "

I am creating a list with different bill codes within single
quotes as follows
<cfset corlist = " '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ' ">
when I do an output
for
<cfoutput>AND idbillcode IN ( #corlist
#)</cfoutput>
I get the values as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( '1100 ','1200 ','1300 ','1700 ','1800
','1950 ','7001 ')
However when I put the same string within a cfquery the
single quotes get replaced by double quotes as follows
AND idbillcode IN ( ''1100 '',''1200 '',''1300 '',''1700
'',''1800 '',''1950 '',''7001 '') which throws an error.
Anybody has any clues.

That is ColdFusion escaping the single quotes, by doubling
them so that
you can search for strings such as "singhpk's code does not
work".
(Note the single quote/apostrophe that would normally break
this string
if it was not escaped.
To tell CF not to do this, one uses the
preserveSingleQuotes() function.
The documentation has all the details.

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!

Trouble with inserting a string containing a single quote

Using php with Oracle
If I do the following two lines before sending my $Query string through the parse function
$name = "Dominick's";
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('$name')";
it gives me the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-00917: missing comma -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
If I try and force the single quote to be surrounded by double quotes and therefore not be confused:
$name = "Dominick's";
Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values (\"$name\")";
Trying that yields the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
Help
Jeff

If it is possible (and here it is) you should use str_replace instead of ereg_replaceThanks for the reminder about str_replace().
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('".addSlashes($name)."')";This gives an invalid Oracle SQL statement, which will generally fail with
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminatedFor Oracle, single quotes must be doubled, not escaped with backslash.
Of the solutions to insert the data, I'd prefer using bind variables
since no escaping or quote doubling is needed.

How to insert a string containing a single quote to the msql database? help

Absolutely, Positively use a PreparedStatement. Do not use sqlEscape() function unless you have some overriding need (and I don't know what that could possibly be).
There are 1000's of posts on the positive aspects of using a PreparedStatement rather than using a Statement. The two primary positive attributes of using a PreparedStatement are automatic escaping of Strings and a stronger security model for your application.

It really is quite ugly syntax though.Not really. You can use whatever character you want to indicate the start and end of the string, but if you use any of the brackets "[", "(" or "{" you should terminate using the opposing bracket "]", ")" or "}" respectively. It also looks a bit more ugly with data like that, but if you are entering regular text then it looks ok...

String with embedded single quote

Hi, all. We're trying to pass a string from one procedure to another, which will then do an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on it. However, there are single quotes withing the string, and they're driving us nuts! This is what the concatenated string should look like when passed to the pw_execDDL procedure:
insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values ('MEAG', to_date('02-OCT-05','DD-MMM-YY'), 'Y',1);
Here's the concatenation process that doesn't work, and there are functions being called within the string:
chr_sql := 'insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values (' || '''' || prm_inoc_id || '''' || ', ' || 'to_date(' || '''' || prm_proof1 || ''''||','||'''' ||'DD-MMM-YY'||''''||')' || ', ' || '''' || fw_is_proof_valid(prm_birth_date, prm_proof1) || '''' || ',1);';
pw_execDDL(chr_sql); /* call the procedure to do the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE */
Help! We've tried every combination -- using two single quotes together, three, and four, and still no luck. Thanks.

insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof,
is_valid,proof_num) values ('MEAG',
to_date('02-OCT-05','DD-MMM-YY'), 'Y',1);
This statement can be made in a string with the following affectation:
chr_sql := 'insert into appimmunization.wsrprfs (inoc_id, proof, is_valid,proof_num) values (''MEAG'', to_date(''02-OCT-05'',''DD-MMM-YY''), ''Y'',1)';
Note please that each single quote in your original string must be specified using two single quotes and that is all. It is more readable and more easy to do it this way.

How to escape the single quote from email value?

Hi,
Is there any way to escape the special character single quote from the email value.
       String ownerQry = "Select Id, email from User where email in('0000'";

Thanks Dr.Clap.
I think its very tricky to implement this.
Here is the SOQL query. i am passing all the email values.
Select Id, email from User where email in('0000','o\'[email protected]','[email protected]')
These values are coming from oracle DB table in the form of array accountData[].TEAM_EMAIL
        String ownerQry = "Select Id, email from User where email in('0000'";
        for(int i=0; i<accountData.length; i++)
           ownerQry += ",'" + accountData.TEAM_EMAIL+"'";
ownerQry += ")";the array value may contain the email with single quote before @gmail.com which i need to ignore. :-( i think this is very tricky. who knows the solution for this?

How to read data with different XML schemas within the single connection?

I have Oracle 11g database
I access it through jdbc:oracle:thin, version 11.2.0.3, same as xdb.
I have several tables, each has one XMLType column, all schema-based.
There are three different XML schemata registered in the DB
I may need to read the XML data from several tables.
If all the XMLTypes have the same XML schema ,there is no problem,
If the schemata are different, the second read throws BindXMLException.
If I reset the connection between the reads of the XMLType column with different schemata, it works.
The question is: how can I configure the driver, or the connection to be able to read the data with different XML schemata without resetting the connection (which is expensive).
The code to get the XMLType data is textbook implementation:
1 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
2 String result = null ;
3    while(resultSet.next()) {
4 SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(1) ;
5 result = sqlxml.getString() ;
6 sqlxml.free();
7 }
8 resultSet.close();
9    return result ;

It turns out, that I needed to serialize the XML on the server and read it as Blob. Like this:
1    final Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
2    final String sql = String.format("select xmlserialize(content xml_content_column as blob encoding 'UTF-8') from %s where key='%s'", table, key ) ;
3 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
4 String result = null ;
5    while(resultSet.next()) {
6 Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob( 1 );
7 InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
8 result = new Scanner( inputStream ).useDelimiter( "\\A" ).next();
9 inputStream.close();
10 blob.free();
11 }
12 resultSet.close();
13 statement.close();
14
15 System.out.println( result );
16    return result ;
17
Then it works. Still, can't get it work with XMLType in resultset.On the client unwrapping XML blows up when trying to switch to different XML schema. JDBC/XDB problem?

I'm having problems transfering audiobooks to my iPod touch 5th Gen with the latest software upgrade. It combines 2 books under the same title giving me multiple chapters within the single title.

When I transfer audiobooks to my touch, I sometimes get a new book transferred that shows up correctly in iTunes but when I open music on the iPod, I have a single book title with both volumes under it. I end up with 2 Chapters 1, 2 Chapters 2, etc. Anyone else have this problem?

Well, I decided to try working at it from the Windows side because I was getting absolutely nowhere using iTunes in OS X. Strangely enough it just worked like it's supposed to this time when I loaded up iTunes in Vista. (I tried before in Vista, with the same problem occurring).
No idea why it worked... I hadn't even authorized iTunes in Vista to play tracks registered to my iTMS account.
If anyone can offer any help from the Mac side, it would be much appreciated. I only have a few specific reasons for using Vista... would prefer if I could avoid restarting into it just to change a few things on my iPod.

Reading email within the borders?

Love my new Droid Maxx BUtT my email go OFF the sides I have to scroll from side to side to read....Is there a setting to keep email in Left and Right borders?
Thanks
DaveAlan

If you rotate your phone to the landscape orientation, it will allow you to see more of the email, or you should be able to change the font size in the app settings. Unfortunately, if you are trying to view a picture, changing the font size won't help, as the picture is the size that it is.
