Remove Carriage Return from a TextEdit field

Hi All,
I have a tableview, of which the last field Description, is of type TextEdit. Not only this, when the data was migrated from a legacy system to SAP, either the last field with the value (If Description has value, Description field, else the field before Description) has 2 '##' at the end of it.
The 2nd # is EQ to
cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
, which I can remove using
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline IN <fs> WITH ''.
But the first # is having the Hex Value 0D00, which is EQ to Carriage Return. CR_LF is Carraige Return and Line Feed, but here, I need to remove only CR.
Can anyone give me the right solution?
I tried moving this data to a string field and then do a REPLACE All... IN BYTE MODE, but again, it didn't work.
Thanks and Regards
Gladson Jacob

Hi Patrick,
The program's ending with a Short Dump. The code snippet is as below.

Remove carriage returns from a field in an oracle table

I have a field that is defined as a LONG in my oracle table; the data contained in this field has carriage returns/line feeds (it's free form text); as i'm selecting data from this field, i need the carriage returns removed so that the data from this field all appears on one line.
I tried using the TRANSLATE function to convert the carriage returns to something else, but that doesn't work.
Example:
Select comment from Notes:
COMMENT
the applicant called for an appointment;
an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am;
called applicant to confirm app
this needs to be extracted as: "the applicant called for an appointment; an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am; called applicant to confirm app"
How can i do this? Can the decode function be used to remove the carriage returns in this field?

when i used translate its giving correctly,

Remove Carriage return from string

I have a free text area on a BSP (a form). When users type continuously in this area the text gets wraped. When the BSP is submitted it generates a sapscript form and the text area is printed on the form, but it has '##' which are placed where the text wrapped round. I would like to remove '##', so tried the following:
replace all occurrences of '##' in text_area with ' '.
This did not work as the '##' are not recognised presumably because they are some type of carriage return and not in fact has marks.

If you dont have access to the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, do this instead:
DATA: crlf(2)   TYPE x VALUE '0D0A',
      itab      TYPE TABLE OF string,
      w_input   TYPE string.
   w_input = '<contains the text with the line feed.>'.
   SPLIT w_input AT crlf INTO TABLE itab.

Removing Carriage Returns within a Textarea

Hi,
Just wondering if someone could please let me know how to remove carriage returns from a Textarea after submitting the page?
Within my PL/SQL process, I have used both REPLACE and TRANSLATE on both CHR(10) and CHR(13) but unfortunately it stills comes out the other end as follows:
Description :this
is
a
testWould like it all on one line minus the carriage returns.
Thanks.
Tony.

The code I showed works for me. Computations and processes work similarly except that in a process you have to save the value in session state whereas in a computation that's done for you. Show your code or put an example on apex.oracle.com if you can't get it to work and I'll check it.

Need to remove carriage returns, spaces, etc.

   global.srchVals[i].mode = 0;
   xxx = i;
   if (i < nNumWords) {
   xxx = xxx + ",";
//xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
} else {
   xxx = xxx;
   //xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
      var PMItms = [xxx];
   //console.println(xxx);
I tried using the following line of code to remove carriage returns and spaces:
   xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
But it keeps on giving me the following error:
TypeError: xxx.replace(/\s+/g, "").trim is not a function
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

How to remove carraige return from the field while loading external table

I am facing an issue of not getting rid of carraige returns present in the fileds of the source .csv file while loading the records into external table.
I had tried using LRTRIM, but it does not help.
The error I am getting is:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field POPULATION_DESCRIPTION
KUP-04037: terminator not found
I am pasting one record out of the .csv file which is causing this error as below:
"Business Card Accounts
",123,7 BizCard - Gamers,Control,"Business Card Accounts
",75270,75271
You can see the carraige return in the 1st field as well as 5th field. Filed are separated by commas & eclosed by double quotes.
Could anybody help on this please?

Can you copy the file to an external table only version, and then dos2unix it?
Alternatively, you can use the ACCESS PARAMETERS area in your external table definition to set that your RECORDS DELIMITED BY carriage returns, instead of the default.
Check out the example here http://www.psoug.org/reference/externaltab.html

Reports not retaining carriage returns from htmldb_item.textarea

Im created a tabular form for multi row updates using htmldb_item.textarea for one of the fields. When I update the tabular form it keeps any carriage returns in this field, which is good. I then created a PL/SQL function body returning a SQL Query report for printing purposes. The problem is that the field populated by the htmldb_item.textarea does not retain any of the carriage returns in the report.
I enter the following in the textarea on the tabular form:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
The report I created then displays the data as:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
I need the report to display the data the same as it appears on the tabular form.
I tried this in my report from reading other similar situations on this forums, but didnt work.
replace("TEXTAREA",''||chr(13)||'',''||
||'') as title
Anyone know of a solution?

How about this?
Go the page where you can edit the report column attribute - here is the bread crumb to help you figure out what I am talking about
Home>Application Builder>Application 99999>Page Definition>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
The second box in this page is Column formatting, you will find 4 text boxes (Number / Date Format, CSS Class, CSS Style, Highlight words) and a text area (HTML Expression). In the text area replace #COLUMN_ALIAS# with <PRE>#COLUMN_ALIAS</PRE>. You will get your newlines without tweaking the query or removing Strip HTML. Strip HTML is a security feature that I would not disable. On the down side you will loose some of the ability to format like fonts etc (:-(,
Here is why you loose the newlines in the report. When browsers render html they have the liberty to reformat it. When reformating they can play around with whitespaces including new lines. To force a new line you have to use the BR tag or you can say the text is preformated using the PRE tags.

HTML Textarea removing Carriage Returns

Hi,
Hoping someone can assist, I am retrieving some data from a table that currently consists of carriage returns but when I try and retrieve this information via Ajax and pass it back into the HTML page textarea field within ApEx, the value returned is one continuous string.
All my carriage returns are removed.
Can someone please assist, possibly using a javascript solution or some other type as to how I can preserve the carriage returns.
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony,
I suspect the problem is simply due to the way HTML handles line breaks, which is to say, it generally ignores them. For example, this html:
<p>To be or not to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; </p>would be displayed in a browser as:
To be or not to be, that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep; No more;
One way to get around this is to wrap the string in {font:Courier}<pre></pre>{font} tags; another would be to replace the carriage returns with {font:Courier}<br>{font}
Hope this helps.
tx, --Jen

Hi,
For me both database as well as coldfusion worked fine. You
may also please try with small example.
Method 1:
At database side
select
replace(columnname,chr(13)||chr(10),' ') as columnname
from <tablename>
Method 2: Coldfusion
<cfset pageContent = reReplace(pageContent,
chr(10)&chr(13),"", "all" )>
I noticed that the regular expression functions in CF support
the newline character \n Chr(10), carriage return \r Chr(13), and
tab \t Chr(9).
<cfsavecontent variable="data">
here is my
break
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>#ReReplace(data, "\n", "<br />",
"ALL")#</cfoutput>
Method 3: Coldfusion.
Please go through the below article. Example is mentioned

Hope this helps. Please try it out.

[Forum FAQ] How to remove div characters from multiline textbox field in SharePoint 2013

Scenario:
Need to avoid the div tags and get data alone from multiline textbox field using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013.
Solution:
We can use a regular expression to achieve it.
The steps in detail as follows:
1. Insert a Script Editor Web Part into the page.
2. This is the complete code, add it into the Script Editor Web Part and save.
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(retrieveListItems, "sp.js");
function retrieveListItems() {
// Create an instance of the current context to return context information
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
//Returns the list with the specified title from the collection
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('CustomListName');
//use CAML to query the top 10 items
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
//Sets value that specifies the XML schema that defines the list view
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
//Returns a collection of items from the list based on the specified query
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(this.collListItem, 'Include(Title,MultipleText)');
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
//Returns an enumerator to iterate through the collection
var listItemEnumerator = this.collListItem.getEnumerator();
//Remove div tag use a regular expression
var reg1 = new RegExp("<div class=\"ExternalClass[0-9A-F]+\">[^<]*", "");
var reg2 = new RegExp("</div>$", "");
//Advances the enumerator to the next element of the collection
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
//Gets the current element in the collection
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
alert(oListItem.get_item('MultipleText').replace(reg1, "").replace(reg2, ""));
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
</script>
Result:<o:p></o:p>

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
Regards
Dhwani

How to remove carriage returns in message mapping

Hi Experts,
I am getting carriage returns in one of the source field, i need to remove those carriage returns and i need to pass it to target field, can anyone suggest me how can i achieve this.

Hello,
Are you getting only CR or CR+LF (line feed) ?
In this case - CRLF - you can use content conversion in your sender adapter:
<recordset_structure>.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
So in your receiver adapter you can replace any special char by 'nl' again.
Check these links.

XI: Remove Carriage Return +Line Feed at end of XML

Hi All,
Scenario
Currently, we have a JMS --> XI --> IDOC scenario. The Sender Service always sends a CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed+) without fail at the end of each xml file once this non-sap system finishes its transaction.
Example
<STARTOFXML>
Data------
</ENDOFXML>CR+LF
Question
Is it possible to remove this from XI JMS Sender Adapter? From the receiver Service (JMS) this is possible.
Cheers!
Sulaiman

Why do you want to remove this? Does this lead to errors?

Stefan
