Regarding finding of word in a string of Application Server Path

Hi All,
I have issue related to finding a certain file name(S) from given Application Server Path.
Here is the actual issue:
In my Selection-Screen i have one field by the name of Application Server Path - /pw/data/erp/D5S/pp/down/eppi0720.txt
Like wise he might enter diffrent file name(s) (or) diffrent pat(s) as per requirement.
Here my requirement is i need to find file discarding path in to one variable - Remember path might also differ also file name might also differ.
Is there any Keyword/Command by which we can findout only filename from the path!
I think with '/' operator we can solve this issue.
If any body knows solution please post.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi,
use fm EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
example:
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
       DESTINATION                   q
       EXPORTING
            dir_name               = folder
            file_mask              = mask
       IMPORTING
            file_counter           = cnt_file
            error_counter          = err_file
       TABLES
            dir_list               = dir_list

To find a word in a string.

Please, is there a way to find a word in a string?
For exemple:
The string contains... "Hello World Java Sun"
I need to find the word "Java", and I'd like to do not compair char by char... I'd like to do it faster than one by one...
Is there a way? How should I do? I was thinking to use something like substring... but even it... I need to compair char by char... (or I didn't?)
Thanks a lot

go to search engine and learn the String class it will help u in the future.
     indexOf
public int indexOf(String str)
    Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified substring. The integer returned is the smallest value k such that:
         this.startsWith(str, k)
    is true.
    Parameters:
        str - any string.
    Returns:
        if the string argument occurs as a substring within this object, then the index of the first character of the first such substring is returned; if it does not occur as a substring, -1 is returned

Finding a word within a string

Hey everyone,
Just having a little trouble with something.
I'm trying to find a word -- that is, not a substring, an actual word as defined by the english language -- within a string.
For example I don't want "hell" to be found in "hello".. only "hello" to be found.
Currently i've got two strings, one is the sentance (String input), and one is the word to be found in the sentance (String word). I need the program to find the WORD, and then go back and search for the word again and again and again until it reaches the end of the string.
This is what I've got thus far:
 for(i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
 // This statement checks the string "input" for the string "word" starting at offset 0 (as this is what the variable was first defined as)
 if(input.indexOf(word, offset) >= 0)
 // If it finds the word at all, this line increases the offset ahead of this word so it doesn't simply find the same word again
 offset = offset + (input.indexOf(word)) + (word.length());
 times++;
 }At the moment this searches for the sub-string, not the WORD which is what I would like it to do.
What's the easiest way of going about this? I've been fiddling around trying to add extra sections to the if statement, for example
if((input.indexOf(word, offset) >= 0) && (input.charAt(offset +1) == 32))(32 as in the ASCII character for a space, which would do what I wanted it to do)
But I eventually get errors because at some stage or another the charAt is going to be higher than the actual length of the String. Plus, this only looks if there's a space next to the word - a word can be valid if it has a ! next to it for example, or a comma...
Thanks for any help :)

I think there's a word boundary marker in regex. So it'd be "\\w+hello\\w+" or whatever the marker is, to be used with a Pattern instance.

Regarding reading data from a file in the application server.

Hello Everyone,
My question is:
The file in the application server consists of data with header, detail and trail out of which the detail contains the main information. The detail again contains the data in the form of a continuous string and again some spaces corresponding to a single record. I need to split the data in the internal table in such a way so that the first few characters get into field-1 of the target internal table. Again I need to consider the spaces for accessing the data for filling up in field-2. How do I decide on the 'Split' statement and specially when the whole string has to be taken care of as contatining data in a single string format without space and again some data after some spaces corresponding to a single record.
Your help is very much needed. Thanks to all the experts in advance.

Regarding moving files b/w folders in the Application server

Hi,
Here what I found was, if the file is empty, then the system is not moving the empty file to the destination , but if the file is not empty it is copying the contents and the corresponding folder to the destination folder. My intent is to copy the folder even if the contents of the folder is empty to the destination folder and delete the old file.

John

Issue with the Maximum lenght string on application server file

Hi,
I have one internal table which cotains aroung 200 fields. The total lenght of the all fields is around 2000 charr.
I am using open data, transfer and close data set to put my file on application server.
I am looping at my internal table and then transfering the data on server file.
The problem is that after generating the file on application server i couldnt see all the fields. i can see only around 500 char.
not all the data.
Does there is maximum limit on the number of char on application serevr.
or there is complete record but we cant see,
kindly help.

Hi Sachin,
As Rainer said you cannot see the full length of row in AL11. The visible length is restricted. If you want to re-confirm whether all data are in. Then download the file from application server to your local system and see the contents. It will be to 2000 characters which you passed.
Hope this helps.

How to find versions of application server components to apply patches

Hi,
I have Oracle Application server 10.1.2.0.2 installed in my linux box.
under metalink.oracle.com
1. i read documentation Doc ID: 420061.1 in metalink about patches and i did find one patch# 5922120 for my application middletier.
but when i did a metalink search i did see some patches for my database version which were not critical
so if they are not critical and if my application server is working fine then do i need to apply these patches.
My application server version is 10.1.2.0.2
and my apalication server infrastructure version is 10.1.0.4.2
during my metalink searches i found the following patches which were uner normal priority. they are:
patch numbers: 5127390, 5094712, 5605377
Can someone guide me.
Bottom line is: do i need to apply these patches unless they are critical and they are requred for my applications.
Also i have one more basic question is
How do i find out individual component versions in my application server like Portal, discoverer, EM, EM agent, etc?
Thanks in advance,
Philip.

Philip,
You have a similar environment to ours. We actually have two Oracle environments: 91) 10gDB 10.1.0.5 / 10gAS 9.0.4.3, and (2) 10gDB 10.2.0.3 / 10gAS 10.1.2.0.3.
In regards to what patches, I look at two items: the latest patchset for DB and AS, and the Critical Patch Updates(CPU). Often, the CPU will drive what patchset you will need to be at. For example, with the CPU April 2007, we had to move to patchset 3 for our AS (9.0.4.3) since that is the only 10gAS R1 that Oracle provided CPU patches.
As far as version ID, I have not found one single area to acquire this. For Portal, you can invoke Portal, http://host/pls/portal, logon as 'portal', then Administer, Global Settings, and at the bottom of the page is the version.
For other products like Forms and Discover, you can find the version when the tool is invoked.
Not quite as nice as the DB side where dba_registry will give you all the goodies.

John

Exchange 2010 Application server email source finding

Hi Team,
From Exchange server I want to find out all email traffic generated from Application server where SMTP configured as HUB transport server.
Problem is that i want to remove anonymous permissions set on receive connect so prior i want to find out all application server IPs, add them into receive connector permissions.

Hi,
If you want to find all application server IPs, you can follow the steps below.
1. Locate the receive connector which you configure for relay.
2. Right-click and choose Properties.
3. Click Network tab, under "Receive mail from remote servers that have these IP addresses", they are application server IPs.
If they are IP range, you can find application server IP address via Internet headers.

Hope this will help you.
Let me know incase of any concerns.
EDIT:
There are few FM for ur refernce :
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)

Here's how to find the right word in a string

I needed to find the rightmost word in a string. I didn't find a simple formula in these forums, but I now have one, so I wanted to share it. Hope you find it useful.
Assuming that the string is in cell A1, the following will return the rightmost word in the string:
RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))

I found the problem. Whatever character was being used in the substitution was parsed out by the forum parser. I replaced it with "œ" (option q on my keyboard).
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("œ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","œ",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
Still needs an error check for a single-word "sentence" and to remove the trailing period but it does seem to work. Pretty slick.

Index of word in a String

How can I find the index of a word in a String?
E.g.
String a = "This is a book";
In this the index of word "is" is 5 not 2.
A word is a sequence of char separated from other char sequences by a one of " \t\n\r\f", i.e. the default StringTokenized delimiters.
Regards,
Lokesh

Yes something like this.
This is how I solved it
private static final String WORD_DELIM = " \t\n\r\f,.;:";
private int getIndexOfWord(String str, String text) {
    StringTokenizer tokenizer     = new StringTokenizer(str, WORD_DELIM, true);
    String token;
    StringBuffer previousContents = new StringBuffer();
    while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
      token = tokenizer.nextToken();
      if(startsWithWord(text, token)) {
        break;
      previousContents.append(token);
    if(previousContents.length() == 0) {
      return -1;
    } else {
      return previousContents.length();
private boolean startsWithWord(String word, String token) {
    //The token must start with "word"
    if(!token.startsWith(word)) {
      return false;
    //Now rplace all delimiters by blanks
    int delimCount = WORD_DELIM.length();
    char c;
    for(int i = delimCount - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      c     = WORD_DELIM.charAt(i);
      token = token.replace(c, ' ');
    //Finally get rid of the blanks.
    token = token.trim();
    if(token.equals(word)) {
      return true;
    return false;

Replace complete words by another string

Hi,
I'm searching for a possibility to replace complete words inside a string.
For example I want to replace "quick" by "slow":
"The quick brown fox is running quicker then the slow brown fox".
The result shall be:
"The slow brown fox is running quicker then the slow brown fox".
The problem is, that the built in "Replace"-Method would also replace "quicker" by "browner".
Furthermore, words beetween different signs (e.g. , . ; : - ! " ? ') shall also be found as complete word.
I already searched for a FM but didn't find anything. Regular expressesions are also not possible because we are running on 6.40.
Maybe anybody can help me with a simple FM or something else.
Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
There is a crude way of doing this....with lots of loops..
You can use the SPLIT statement
SPLIT dobj AT sep INTO
{ {result1 result2 ...} | {TABLE result_tab} }
[IN {CHARACTER|BYTE} MODE].
and break the sentence into words using space as delimiter. Once you have all the words in a internal table, you can loop through it and compare each word with the word you want.
This will solve the problem, but will not be performant enough.
