Regexp return only the text inside quotes

I'm looking for a way to return only what is between text in a column, or a period if it's between two sets of quotes. There could be any number of occurrences within the text of the column.
"ENC"."CHECKOUT_TIME"[DATE,7], "ENC"."PAT_ENC_CSN_ID"[NUMBER,22], "ENC"."CHECKIN_TIME"[DATE,7]
Becomes
"ENC"."CHECKOUT_TIME""ENC"."PAT_ENC_CSN_ID""ENC"."CHECKIN_TIME"
Is this something that's possible with a regular expression?

Hi,
I'm not sure if that can be done with a single regular expression.
Here's a way that uses two functions:
SELECT str
,       REGEXP_REPLACE ( REGEXP_SUBSTR ( str
                       , '("[^"]*"(\."[^"]*")?)[^"]*'
                       , '\1'
                       ) AS new_str
FROM    table_x
REGEXP_SUBSTR removes unquoted material before the first double-quote and after the last double-quote.

How can I make rectangular speech bubbles that adapt to the text inside them without the "arrow" that points towards where the bubble is coming from getting changed?

I have to make lots of speech bubbles (150+) that all have texts inside them which differ in length. I want the speech bubbles to look the same in terms of style, but I need different sizes of course for each text. This means that the rectangular part of the speech bubble should adapt in length and width to the text inside it, while the "arrow" pointing towards where the bubble is coming from (e.g. the person who speaks) should stay the same on every bubble. So is there a way or a workaround to make such "adapting" speech bubbles?
I appreciate any kinds of help
Thanks in advance!

Here's another way I found:
1. Draw a speech bubble. Mine is a rectangle with rounded corners and a triangular pointer added with Pathfinder > Add
2. Drag out a frame the same size as the speech bubble. Select the speech bubble and Copy; then select the empty frame and choose Edit > Paste Into...
3. Alt-Drag the frame with the pasted speech bubble to make a copy, then crop one copy to leave only the top of the bubble showing, and crop the other copy to leave only the bottom.
4. Drag out a text frame and insert a table consisting of 1 column, 3 rows. Set the text frame to Autosize > Height Only.
5. Set the stroke/fill of the top and bottom rows to none, and style the middle row to match the speech bubble, (in my case a white fill and 2pt stroke; left and right).
6. Anchor (paste) a copy of the speech bubble top in the top table row, and a copy of the speech bubble bottom in the bottom row.
Getting the 3 parts to match up with is where you just have to work on it until you get it right. Use the positioning tools in Anchored Object options and the column width setting in Cell options to line everything up.
Enter your text in the middle row. (Hey, look at that...a valid application of Comic Sans!) With the Cell Height set to an "At Least" setting, the cell will expand to fit whatever text you enter, pushing the the bottom row down, with the text frame auto-sizing to keep everything in play...

How to change the size of the text inside a label?

Hello,
I would like to change the size of the text inside a label.
Is there any way to do it Web DynPro?

Hello Roy,
Not possible. WDLabelDesign contains only 2 values: STANDARD and LIGHT. As workaround you can use TextView. It supports a lot of "designs" (e.g. label_small).
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

How to recognize the text inside a text box

we have a scenario where we are validating the text inside a text box. Actually, we are inserting a text matching test on a node.
The scenario is like this:
When we open the screen it contains 6 text boxes.
We have to enter the text in the first 3 text boxes and save.
Then based on the entry the values are populated on the other three text boxes.
We have to validate the values in these text boxes , so we click and highlight the value.
Openscript identfiy the text box ,but it did not identify or recorded the values we have highlighted.
How to make the openscript recognize the values? Can we do it through menu options or else we need to write the code?
Any help will be appreciated.

I answer to myself:
Put all inside a PanelGroupLayout and set the layout to SCROLL.

Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
You write that it worked "before"; before what? An update? Update from what version to what version?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
Thanks

Try this script. Save the page as .jsx the the "Presets>Scripts" AI folder. When you restart AI it will appear in the "Scripts" menu. Select the text block and run the script.

The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

How can I remove all returns within the text?

I copied and pasted text onto pages from the internet, but the text does not go all the way to the end of the set margins that i have on Pages, instead it goes about halfway or so and begins on a new line. how can i remove all of the spaces between the words so that it runs the full length of the page.
It blows my mind that i have to resort to seeking help on the apple forums for this problem, it seems like something so simple would be a standard feature when adjusting text on the page. The only thing that could frustrate me more is if it impossible to do on this software, or if it is simple to do and I was too stupid to figure it out. If it is impossible then I'm **** out of luck because the document is just to **** long to sit there for hours and manually delete every single last return.

Not to preempt your fun of playing with AppleScript, but here's my take on it:
tell application "Pages"
    tell document 1
        -- Make sure there's no selection
        select insertion point before character 1
        set cc to count characters of body text
        set returnOffsets to (character offset of every character where it is return)
        -- Reverse order, since deletion would alter all subsequent offsets
        repeat with n in reverse of returnOffsets
            if (n > 1) then
                if n < cc and character (n + 1) is return then
                    -- Treat double returns as a true paragraph break.
                    -- Delete the extra.
                    delete character n
                else if character (n - 1) ≠ return then
                    -- Change single returns into spaces.
                    set character n to " "
                end if
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell

How can i hide a portion of the text inside a spry dataset "stackedcolumn"?

Hi all
I have a spry dataset set up reading a .xml file for the price/name/description/etc. I want to only show some of the text (a certain number of characters) at the start then give the visitor the option of clicking a toggle button to see more of the description and help with size of the pages. How do i do that exactly?
I know I have to probably implement jquery toggle but how does it work with a spry?
here is the code as it stands.
   <div spry:region="catalog" class="SpotlightAndStacked">
      <div spry:repeat="catalog" class="SpotlightAndStackedRow">
        <div class="SpotlightContainer">
          <div class="SpotlightColumn"><a href="_images/catalog/Art/{Picture_File}" title="{Headline}"><img src="_images/catalog/thumbs/Art/{Picture_File}"></a></div>
        </div>
        <div class="StackedContainer">
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Last_Name}, {Item_First_Name}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Code_Number}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Headline}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Complete_Description}</div>
          <div class="StackedColumn"> {Item_Code_Number}</div>

There are many options for editing objects/layers in the time line. You can split tracks, slip videp, trim, delete, cut, copy and paste etc. Without more specifics about what you want to do I would suggest you review the users guide.

How to retrieve only the text from a multiline Varchar2 field?

Dear Friends,
I have a text in a varchar2 field having text only in line2.
I want to retrieve the text only skipping the blank line.
The syntax REPLACE(FIELD_NAME,CHR(10),'') is not working.
Please help me.
Thanking you,
With Regards
Franklin

there must be other characters in your text field that are not chr(10) (line feeds etc).
use a regular expression to replace all the non-printable characters:
select regexp_replace(field_name,'[^[:print:]]') from table

Regexp return only the text inside quotes
