Hi Sajeer,
You have given quite few information what data should be collected / showed in detail. Anyhow, it sounds as if you want to provide data which isn't provided within the standard portal so far (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/07/dad131443b314988eeece94506f861/frameset.htm for a list of existing reports).
For your needs you probably have to develop a repository service which reacts on content / property changes and then you would have to log these changes somewhere, for example in a DB. On the other side, you then could implement a report iView which accesses this data and displays it as whished.
Hope it helps

Removing non-numeric characters from string

Hi there,
I need to have the ability to remove non-numeric characters from a string and I do not know how to do this.
Does any one know a way?
Example:
Present String: (02)-2345-4607
Required String: 0223454607
Thanks in advance

Dear NickM
Try this this will work...........
create or replace function char2num(mstring in varchar2) return integer
is
-- Function to remove Special characters and alphebets from phone no. string field
-- Author - Valid Bharde.(India-Mumbai)
-- Date :- 20 Sept 2006.
-- This Function will return numeric representation.
-- The Folowing program is gifted to NickM with respect to his post on oracle site regarding Removing non-numeric characters from string on the said date
mstatus number :=0;
mnum number:=0;
mrefstring varchar2(50);
begin
mnum := length(mstring);
for x in 1..mnum loop
if (ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) >= 48 and ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) <= 57) then
mrefstring := mrefstring || substr(mstring,x,1);
end if;
end loop;
return mrefstring;
end;
copy the above program and use it at function for example
SQL> select char2num('(022)-453452781') from dual;
CHAR2NUM('(022)-453452781')
22453452781
Chao!!!

Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

Hi,
I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9. I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically). For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906." I found this script that will not let users input special characters
if (!event.willCommit) {
event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces. Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
Thanks in advance!

From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
Hope this can help.

Remove control characters in txt file (saved from Excel)

Hi,
I have a txt file that contains invisible control characters and I want to remove those characters. I've been thinking of 2 options
1/ Get the content of the file into a string, then go through each character and basically takes only alphanumeric, new lines, Alt+Enter character (character that is created in txt files in Excel that breaks line). With this approach, I'm stuck on getting the character code for Alt+Enter so if anyone could point out. That helps a great deal.
2/ Use some pattern matching {ctrnl} or something to remove all control characters. I've tried this approach and it didn't work for me.
Please help me with this problem. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

(saved from Excel) Why not save it as csv?

You can figure that out with a hex editor or just write a small app that prints int values for each byte, not character, and print the file.
Presumably you already found the Character class and its methods.

Remove all the special characters using java.util.regex

Hi,
How to remove the all the special characters in a String[] using regex, i have the following:-
public class RegExpTest {
     private static String removeSplCharactersForNumber(String[] number) {
          String number= null;
          Matcher m = null;
               Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\!\\@\\#\\$\\%\\^\\&\\*\$\$\\_\\+\\-\\{\\}\\|\\;\\\\\\'////\\,\\.\\?\\<\\>\\[\\]");
               for (int i = 0; i < number.length; i++) {
               m = p.matcher(number);
               if (m.find()) {
                    number= m.replaceAll("");
               System.out.println("Final Number is:::"+number);
               return number;
          public static void main(String args[]){
               String[] str = {"raghav!@#$%^&*()_+"};
               RegExpTest regExpTest = new RegExpTest();
               regExpTest.removeSplCharactersForNumber(str);
This code is not working and m.find() is "false", here i want the output to be raghav for the entered string array, not only that it should remove all the special characters for a entered string[]. Is there a simple way to do this to remove all the special characters for a given string[]? More importantly the "spaces" (treated as a spl. character), should be removed as well. Please do provide a solution to this.
Thanks

You don't need the find(). Just use the replaceAll() on each element of the String[] i.e.
String[] values = ...
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++)
    values[i] = p.matcher(values).replaceAll("");
}I can't understand your regex since the forum software has mangled it but you just need to add a space to the set of chars to remove. When you post code, surround it with CODE tags then the forum software won't mangle it.

Removing comma (,) from string

Hello Friends,
I have a string something of this nature
Sting : ',3456,45454,,45454,'
Need to have just comma seperated value : '3456,45454,45454'
Tried with replace but getting - '34564545445454'
select replace ( ltrim(RTRIM(replace(',3456,45454,,45454,', ',,', ','),',')),',', '') from dual;
Appreciate your help .

If so:
LTRIM (string, ',')LTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>L</b>eft side (that is, the beginning) of string. That's all you want here. (Was your string generated by SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH? This is a very common problem.)
RTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>R</b>ight side (that is, the end) of string. I don't think you want that; you certainly don;'t need it in the example you gave.
REPLACE removes the given characters anywhere in the string. You definitely don't want that. If you did, there would be no point in also using LTRIM or RTRIM.

Removing Duplicate Characters in a String without using a Hashset

I was wondering if anyone knew a way of removing duplicate characters in a string without using a Hashset.
I want to go from
helloworld -> helowrd

okay, here it is
1) use a loop, look through each character in the original string
2) look at the new string, if this character exist, don't add it, otherwise add it.
check out methods in java.lang.String

Best way to remove unwanted signs from string

Which is the best way to purify a string from possible dangerous signs? I want to remove all characters that is not a-z or 0-9? how would I go about?

read the string character by character, and check to
see if they're characters you want to remove or not,
by comparing them to the ascii values of characters
you permit. I've used this before, but I can't
remember what exactly it permits, and I'm too lazy to
look up the ascii table :) But this sort of thing
works.
int c = in.read();
while(c!=-1){
if((c<33)||(c<58&&c>44)){
out.write(c);
I thought about that too. But the values in the ASCII table... arn't they a little volatile to use? I mean, will my application work on other systems or systems with other languages?

can somebody in the forum give me idea how to remove comma from the String and
have a string without comma.
Thanks
Jack

int idx = oldString.indexOf(',');
if(idx >= 0)
newString = oldString.substring(0, idx) + oldString.substring(idx + 1);or for jdk 1.4 and later
str = str.replaceAll(",", "");

Removing leading and trailing delimiters from a String

I need to remove leading and trailing delimiters from a String like if my string is 111,112, then it should get changed to 111,112.Any idea how to do this??

for my suggestion:String s = "111,112,";
int begin = 0;
while (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(begin)))
begin++;
int end = s.length() - 1;
while (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(end)))
end--;
String news = s.substring(begin, end + 1);Of course, you'll have to clean it up a bit.
