Removing Commas and Spaces from Field

I have a table called TableD1 in a database with a field called "Range".
The ranges are like 1-1000; 1001-2000; etc. up to like 1000000-200000.
That is how they are supposed to look, they are not numeric fields, just general, containing a low, a dash and a high all in the same field.
I just discovered that quite a few of the entries have included commas and spaces, like 1-1,000 or 100000 - 200000.
I need to write a Query that will remove all of the commas from the data in TableD1's "Range" field, then all of the spaces.
I imagine they are some kind of Update statements but because of the potential to blow up the whole thing, I'm reluctant to experiment.
Does anyone know what code I should use?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Gee

Making sure you've taken a backup. Pull the data into temp table and do the testing. once you satisfied with the output then do the update on the main table.
create table #temp
Range varchar(100)
insert into #temp values('1-1,000'),('100000 - 200000')
select replace(replace(Range,',',''),' ','') from #temp
--update #temp set Range=replace(replace(Range,',',''),' ','')
Validate the the output of the select statement.

Removing leading zeros and leading blank spaces from an input field

Hi All,
I have an input field which is alphanumeric and i need to remove the leading zeros and blank spaces in it , but intermediate spaces should be kept .
so i used the UDF
String output = input.replaceFirst("^0+","");
return output;
but this code does not remove the leading blank spaces . Can anybody help in modifying this code so that even the leading blank spaces along with leading zeros can be removed .
Regards ,
Loveena .

lets say input is a
then
int len = a.length();
for(int i;i< length;i++)
if(a.substring(0,1).equals(" ") || a.substring(0,1).equals("0"))
a = a.substring(1,len);
return a;
hope you got the logic so that you can enhance it better

How to avoid leading space -char(160) in Apex items

Removing the header and footer in Pages

I just began to use Pages after purchasing a new ibook. In AppleWorks, headers and footers were never inserted by default. In Pages, how can I remove the header and footer in Pages so I can have more space for the body section of the document?

I had already set page margins to zero, and I disagree with you: Headers and footers still appear with a height of approximately 1/8 inch.
SInce I posted my previous message, I have experimented a bit. I was able to (almost but not quite) totally eliminate the header and footer by clicking into the header and footer area and reducing the font size to the absolute minimum. After having done that, the body was basically in-line with 0" on the vertical page ruler.
Also, in my opinion, whether or not most printers do a full page bleed is irrelevant. I should be able to work with the page body without its being offset from the page ruler if I don't want to employ a header or footer.

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

How can i limit the user to enter only A to Z and space in JFormattedText

dear
i want to use JFormatedTextField in two manners
1.Limit the no of charecters.means in a text field only 20 charecters r allowed.
2.and also check the enterd charecter must be a to z and space not other chareters r allowed.
3.same for numbers means 0 to 9 and decimal.
how can i do by using the JFormated TextFilef.

Probably lacks in some cases but what the hell.

I need space!

First let me disabuse of a misconception: All Adobe upgrades are FULL installers. Whether you buy them as upgrades or new versions does not make an iota of difference. The upgrade installers do not need to find a prior version installed, they just prompt you for the old serial number as well as the old one, and they do not rely on the old version in the least.
Second, the time to uninstall an older version is BEFORE upgrading to a newer one. Otherwise, the uninstaller from the older versions will mess up with your new install. There are a gazillion files that are named the same and in the same locations as the new one.
Your best bet now is to uninstall ALL the Photoshop versions you have installed, including the newest one, one by one, then run the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool, then run Repair Permissions from Apple's Desk Utility, and finally re-install the latest version.
The other alternative, if your boot HD is large enough (very doubtful in case of a laptop like a Mac Book), is to leave all versions on it.
Your choice.

Help! 7, 9 and space have stopped working

My 7, 9 and space keys have suddenly stopped workinf. I have tried: Removing the battery and then replacing it, sitting it on the dash board of the car on a hot day without the battery and placed in dry uncooked rice for nearly a week. When I did the last one the 7 and 9 keys worked once! I am so frustrated...any further suggestions?

Hello AnnB and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Did your BlackBerry get wet? (Since you said you put your BlackBerry in a bag of uncooked rice.)
It sounds like this could be a hardware issue, but there is a test you can do to see if it a software issue.
Back up your BlackBerry data and follow the steps in KB11320 to reload your handheld software.
Before you restore any data, test these keys. If they fail to work then it's safe to assume the issue is hardware at which point you will want to contact your mobile carrier for further assistance.
Good luck!

Why should i add a dot and space to execute this oracle provided script?

When multiple oracle databases are installed in one machine, we need to set the environment variables like ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID before logging into the respective database. For this, oracle provides as script called oraenv.
If we try to execute oraenv like
oraenv   #without a dot and space before the filenamethe file seem to get executed but none of the env variables actually get set.
To execute this script correctly we have to put a dot and a space before the filename like
. oraenvWhat is difference between these two way of executing scipts?
The orenv code

The dot is used to "source" a file. It is commonly used to change your environment variables without forcing you to log out and back in again for the changes to take effect. Check out "source command for Solaris 10" or something similiar for more info.

Expose' and Spaces preference plane is blank

I upgraded my original core duo 20" iMac to Snow Leopard last night and it mostly went fine. I did need to repair permissions to get the 10.6.8 combo update to install properly but that was the only hiccup I noticed at first. However, after a few minutes of usage, I noticed that my Expose' and Spaces preference pane went blank. I was able to use it upon first boot but after a while I tried to go back in and click on the pref pane and got nothing aside from the message that the Expose and Spaces preferences were loading. I clicked again and the window appeared but was blank. Here's what I've tried so far.
I logged out as myself and logged in as my wife and her preference pane appears without a problem.
I repaired permissions several times including from a boot CD.
I removed the relevant cache and plist files from my Library folder.
I was able to get the pref pane back for a while but honestly I don't know exactly what I did to get it to come back. I believe it was after I removed my com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file but I can't be totally sure. One thing I noticed was that after removing com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist, the file did not come back on it's own after trying to edit the preferences. I even copied the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist from my wife's Library but that didn't seem to help (I'm still somewhat of a new Mac guy so I don't even know if that is a viable solution in the first place.)
I've seen other people experiencing problems with blank preference panes but it doesn't seem like their solutions are relevant to my problem. Also I would have thought that there might be a corrupt pref file somewhere but the fact that the behavior is normal under my wife's profle seems to suggest that all is well at the system file level.
Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.
Regards
-Paul

I called Apple support and they were able to help me. Here's what they had me remove:
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
com.apple.dashboard.plist
com.apple.dock.plist
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
my home/library Caches folder
the root Library/Caches folder
I rebooted and my Mac was back and running normal. I think that /Library/Caches removal was the key part but I can't say for sure.

Removing the Hall and high pitched reverb

Hey all,
I need to edit the sound qaulity of three or four clips in adobe audition cc. They all have a large hall sound to them and I want to change that to be more close up as if your in a small room with the person. I tried many things such as reverb however since the audio starts off in a large room, removing that with reverb has no effect.
Secondly there is a high pitched reverb that is about .2 of a second delayed and is quite noticeable. I have gone into the spectral pitch display but I can't seem to isolate the high pitched reverb.
Here is a sample of the clip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzyiptdei9lsepn/Example.wav?dl=1
If anyone could please help me out in instructions that I need to do that would be appreciated.
Thanks
Austin

I'm afraid that you simply can't 'edit sound quality'. The nature of what you record is determined entirely by the space you record in, and how you place the microphone relative to the speaker and space. At this point, you're effectively baking a cake - can't be unbaked. Even if you use reverb reduction, you will still end up with a more 'distant' sound, because you won't have eliminated what's known as the 'early reflections'. What happens then is that you have a sound that appears to have been recorded in a more reverberant space, but without the reverb. And that sounds completely unnatural. I've listened to your sample and it already sounds somewhat 'processed'. Is this the raw sound? If it is, you're completely stuffed, and should leave it alone, because the only things you can do will make it sound even worse.

Safe to remove Windows 7 and install XP instead?

Hi,
I've been thinking about something recently; I probably won't do this until a while, but for now, it's just an idea. I'm using Linux Ubuntu on my Lenovo Thinkpad E420, and it really work like a dream. I use Windows 7 way less, and I only keep it for a few reasons.
I find it too bad that Windows 7 use so much disk space, however! 20GB for the system alone, in fact (For Ubuntu, it's 4.5GB, with all the softwares). I'm sure Windows XP will do the same job that Windows 7, even running a specific game that wouldn't work under Seven.
I know you're all wondering why would I use Windows XP when his support is ending in 2 years? Well, instead of using 20GB, the system will use only 1.5GB. That's 18.5 GB of Extra for Ubuntu. It also demand way less ressources than Windows 7. I do not plan on browsing on Windows XP, I'll do this in Ubuntu. Simply put, the only stuff I'm going to do on XP are:
- Playing a few games (The most recent game being 2007);
- Using Adobe Creative Suite CS5 (Along with Adobe Premiere and AfterEffect CS4, maybe);
- Maybe using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 (Run well in Ubuntu using Wine);
I know a lot of people still using Adobe Creative Suite CS3 while CS6 is out, so I don't see the problem of still using CS5 even when CS8 will be released. And CS6 is supported for XP as well (Except for Premiere and AfterEffect).
The only disadvantage I could think of is that Windows XP x64 would manage only 2 of my 4 CPUs.. Will this be noticeable on performances?
So I was wondering about this, will it be safe to remove Windows 7 and install XP x64 instead? Did the 1GB "System_DRV" partition still be necessary?
I am also aware that installing XP will erase GRUB bootloader for Linux, but I know the way to restore it. I also burned my recovery DVDs from Windows 7.
Thanks for your advice!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've been doing some ressearch, and I found out that as much odd as it seems, Windows Server 2003 would be a better choice. Because the 32-Bit version would be able to manage my 8GB of RAM and my 4 CPUs without problem, unlike XP. I also thought that Server 2003 would use less battery than XP.
So I created another NTFS partition to install Server 2003, check if this work before removing Windows 7 !
To make the setup boot proprely, I had to set the hard-disk to "Compatibility Mode" in the BIOS, otherwise I would get a BSOD (Same for XP).
The first part of the setup was successful, the files were correctly copied to the Windows 2003 partition I chose. Then my laptop rebooted, and Server 2003 got.. confused. Server 2003 would have proceeded to the second part of the installation, but booted from the first partition used by Windows 7.
As I was expecting, Windows Server 2003 deleted Windows 7 bootloader as well as GRUB for Linux.
I succesfully restored Windows 7 bootloader, and I am able to boot to Linux using my CD of GRUB. I'm now going to restore GRUB, but something unexpected happened.
For some reason, GParted - the partition editor for Linux - wouldn't see anymore partition. I'll have to check how to fix this on the Ubuntu Forums. The partitions are still there, just no more visible by GParted - There are visible by Windows 7 and my GRUB CD, however.
There's something else I would like to understand as well; Windows Server 2003 randomly messed up something else: The files got copied in the right partition, but why did it randomly deleted my Lenovo_Recovery partition (Which was the last on the disk)? Is there a reason for that?
So here's the main question of my post: is there a way to recover this partition? It's not visible by Windows 7, not by GRUB as well. Why was this partition used for, exactly?
I should mention that I still have my recovery DVDs I burned from Windows 7. Was this partition still required?
Thanks for the reply.
I think I'll have to stick with Windows 7, then. XD In fact, I'm "lucky" Server 2003 haven't deleted anything else (I do have a full image of Linux).

How to remove/reduce the default space between two sections ?

How to remove/reduce the default space between two sections on the dashboards?

if you make a modification of the Dashboardlayout in the file PortalContent.css like
.SectionTable {
margin-bottom: 2px;
width: 100%;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: none;
border-color: #CECECE;
There will be no more borders. However the gap exists but the look of the 2-section report might look better.
There is an ER raised at the Oracle Support.
