Remove all comma's in a string

I have a company name that can contain comma's in one or more positions. I need to replace these comma's with a space.
Example:
Dom,s Travel and Dom,s Express
Need it to read
Dom s Travel and Dom s Express
Thanks

Hmm it was only example how you can filter it
If you say that "replaceAll(...) is far, far simpler " then please can you write the code how it will look like?

- it's overly complicated for such a simple task. By complicated I mean it is not clear what that code is supposed to do when reading through it;
- you stuffed the majority of that code in your main method instead of creating a separate method;
- your algorithm loops through the AllowedChars array too much;
- you're concatenating Strings instead of using some sort of buffer.
At least it works right. It is the simpliest way how to filter StringsNo, replaceAll(...) is far, far simpler.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text

Removing non english characters from my string input source

Guys,
I have problem where I need to remove all non english (Latin) characters from a string, what should be the right API to do this?
One I'm using right now is:
s.replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]", "");//s is a string having chinese characters.
I'm looking for a standard Solution for such problems, where we deal with multiple lingual characters.
TIA
Nitin

Nitin_tiwari wrote:
I have a string which has Chinese as well as Japanese characters, and I only want to remove only Chinese characters.
What's the best way to go about it?Oh, I see!
Well, the problem here is that Strings don't have any information on the language. What you can get out of a String (provided you have the necessary data from the Unicode standard) is the script that is used.
A script can be used for multiple languages (for example English and German use mostly the same script, even if there are a few characters that are only used in German).
A language can use multiple scripts (for example Japanese uses Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana).
And if I remember correctly, then Japanese and Chinese texts share some characters on the Unicode plane (I might be wrong, 'though, since I speak/write neither of those languages).
These two facts make these kinds of detections hard to do. In some cases they are easy (separating latin-script texts from anything else) in others it may be much tougher or even impossible (Chinese/Japanese).

How to remove all hyperlinks at once?

Hi guys,
I want to know how to remove all hyperlinks in a text at once. I know how to remove one link at a time. But it's time consuming if you paste a text with a lot of hyperlinks.
Thanks,

How to remove all packages in a group except x, y, and z?

When I installed Arch, I installed KDE. Since then, I've switched to tiling WMs (Awesome, then DWM), and I really have no need of most of KDE any more. I still really like Dolphin, though. Is there a simple way to tell pacman to remove the kde group except for dolphin and its dependencies? (i.e., rather than just removing all of kde and reinstalling the few bits I want.)

Try
#!/bin/bash
groups="kde"
packages="kdebase-dolphin kdeutils-kcalc"
comm -23 <(comm -12 <(pacman -Sgq $groups|sort) <(pacman -Qq) | sort) <(for i in $packages; do pactree -u $i; done | sort)
<thisscriptname> | sudo pacman -Rns -
It allowed me to remove 344 of 396 packages I installed with 'pacman -S kde', both dolphin and kcalc seem to work (they at least start up ;P).
Of course you need to modify which group(s) you want to remove and which packages you want to keep, as well as pacman options - I'm fine with '-Rns' but you may prefer different ones.

Remove all text/non-number characters

Odd question, but is there a way to remove all non-number characters from a column of cells? For example, if I have:
6dfasfads
12Randomletters.
Is there a way to get rid of the letters?
<Edited by Host>

Here is a script doing the trick with no extraneous table or even column.
Barry's response is a clever one. I'm a bit bored to miss this track.
--[SCRIPT cleaner]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : cleaner.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier

Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner le groupe de cellules dont le contenu doit être nettoyé
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir cleaner
Les cellules dont le contenu renferme des caractères non-numériques seront débarassées de ceux-ci.

[SOLVED] Removing all uneeded packages, GNOME Issues

Just setup arch in VirtaulBox, and I got everything working! Hooray, only took 4 tries, but thats what I call the learning process and I love it!
My issue was this:
Gnome wouldn't save my theme settings! Each time I ran it with startx my theme settings were reset to default! I'd change the theme to DarkRoom and change my icon set to Tango, and then after logging out, and running startx again, poof, back to default. My background, however, DID save.
So after that experiment, I've decided to use KDE, just cause I wanna do it, no real reason, besides learning as much as I can
I've gone and removed gnome:
pacman -Rc gnome
Now I'm trying to clear out all the excess packages, so I ran:
pacman -Qdt
It shows a whole bunch of stuff, so what I'm asking is this: How can I clear out all unneeded packages, orphaned packages, etc
Coming from the Debian based world, I know I could use apt-get autoremove to get rid of unneeded packages, and I would like to know if there is a way to do this using pacman
If not, is it possible to run pacman -Qdt and export the output to a file, then run pacman -R and have it access that file and remove all those packages?
Thank you for the assistance!

2) You can removed unneeded packages by pacman -Rcsn `pacman -Qqdt`
Thank you for the fast reply, I will try to remember that!
I've tried running what you suggested, but it doesn't seem to be working...
pacman -Rcsn 'pacman -Qqdt"
says its not found in the local db
Mefju wrote:Just use pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqdt) as root
This will do it! I get it, make it use the string output of pacman -Qqdt as the input for pacman -Rcsn ?

APD - How to remove leading zero's in a String?

Hello All,
I have been stumped by this challenge for a few hours now, so would appreciate your suggestions.
I am using APD to produce a CSV file where the source is a query. The output requires 0MATERIAL and this is delivered by the source query. The issue is that the CSV file must not retain any leading zero's that may exist in the 0MATERIAL value.
e.g.
example #      original material code     desired output
=========     ======================     ==============
a           000000000000015931      15931
b           000000000001001037      1001037
c           000000000008945420      8945420
d           000000000080889200      80889200
e           0000000000L0293500      L0293500
Initialy, I believed I could simply output the value of 0MATERIAL to an integer field. This would remove all leading zero's but not all 0MATERIAL codes are purely numeric in value (see example (e));
Someone had a similar requirement w/ SQL Server and solved it by replacing all zero's with a space, trimming leading spaces, then replacing remaining spaces back to zero's! [url]http://www.sql-server-helper.com/functions/trim-leading-zeros.aspx[url]
So the logic is something like this:
1. Replace each 0 with a space: REPLACE('0','',[0MATERIAL])
2. Use the L_TRIM string function to trim leading spaces: L_TRIM(<result from Step #1>)
3. Replace all spaces back to 0: REPLACE('','0',<result from Step #2>)
Formula Builder looks like this:
L_TRIM(REPLACE_ALL('0','',0MATERIAL))
I attempted this using the
REPLACE()
function (available in the APD Formula builder) to replace all zero's with an empty string. This too created a problem because as in examples (a) through to (e), the function replaces all zero's in the string not just the leading ones! e.g.
REPLACE('0', '',000000000001001037)
gives 1137 !
The problem here is that when you specify a space in the
REPLACE()
function by saying
it thinks you meant no spaces at all! Therefore I am no longer able to execute step 3!
I'm stumped now and would appreciate the communities help on this.
Thanks,

Thanks Akshay,
I took 0MATERIAL as the source field
I specified ZMATLWOLDZERO as the target field (type same as 0MATERIAL).
In the code section i wrote this:
DATA: ls_source TYPE y_source_fields,
        ls_target TYPE y_target_fields.
loop at it_source into ls_source.
    move-corresponding ls_source to ls_target.
    call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
      EXPORTING
        output = ls_target-ZMATLWOLDZERO
      IMPORTING
        input = ls_source-material.
    append ls_target to et_target.
endloop.
compiles fine but on test execution, the code termnates saying that "Incorrect parameter with CALL FUNCTION"
Forgive me this is a first attempt I have tried but I fear my logic is incorrect in the code somewhere...
