Removing in characters in styles
I am trying to find a way of removing the last 6 characters from the end of a line using styling of some description. I have created a contact sheet using a text variable linking to each image and showing the name of that image, each image I am using ends _LR.pdf and I was hoping to remove this. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
You can't.
... but, well, you can hide them
Add a GREP style that matches this:
_LR\.pdf
and have it apply a character style that sets the color [None] and a 0.1 pt font size.

Need to remove special characters
Hello All
Some input is comming from source field, if any special characters comming from source field, I need remove special characters and send data source to target field. please suggest me how will i do .
Thanks&Regards,
VenkatHi Venkat,
check this thread.
Handling Special Characters
check the document :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42
Depends upon encoding methods handling will differ,
you can use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8 for some special characters.

Sql to remove special characters from my search
Hi everyone. I'm very new to sql and have hit another road block. I am doing a query on my database in oracle sql developer. I want to search manufacturer numbers but sometimes they were entered with dashes ( 999-99-9999) and other times not (999999999) is it possible to apply a function to overlook the dash in both my query numbers and in the database mfr_nbr column?
any help would be appreciated.
Kellyok, I have built a nesting string of replaces to remove all of my special characters and it worked perfectly but now I am not sure where to place the nest later in the string to remove it from my search of mfr numbers.

I still need to add the part where I put in my search for the manuf_item_nbr. my question is where do I need to place the nested replace's to remove it from my numbers I'm going to search?

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.

Removing unwanted characters..
Hey guys,
I'm back for help again. Unfortunately my brain isn't creative enough, so please help! :-)
Ok, I need to remove unwanted characters from a file...the problem is that the characters look like this:
in any text editor. I'm using JEdit, and it's ISO-8859-1 encoding. The text was initally from a html file, and i think that most of the html is displayed well as text in JEdit. But these squares, which are bits of info that I don't need, are making it a little trick to do my extraction.
Ex: the word I want to extract is "trouble". But in the file, it looks like this:
troble....
Anyone know how to get rid of all that stuff???
Thanks in advance.
...DJVege...you could try to set a filter on the characters you accept. Process each character and only accept those that fall into some ASCII boundary. If you accept ASCII characters that have values between 33-255, most blocks should be eliminated.
Something like this should help:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
protected static final int MIN_ASCII = 33;
protected static final int MAX_ASCII = 255;
public Example(String file) throws IOException {
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file)));
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(file+"_fix.txt"));
String s = "";
int j;
while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
for (j = 0;j < s.length();j++) {
if (valid(s.charAt(j))) {
p.print(s.charAt(j));
p.println();
b.close();
p.close();
protected boolean valid(char c) {
int asc = (int)c;
// allow for tabs and spaces
if (asc == 9 || asc == 32) {
return true;
return (asc >= MIN_ASCII && asc <= MAX_ASCII);
public static void main(String args[]) {
if (args.length > 0) {
try {
new Example(args[0]);
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}useage: java Example <file>
of course, something like this will probably only work on "english" files as I dont have an understanding on how foreign characters are encoded..
if this doesnt solve your problem, you might want to adjust the range to 33-127, which will eliminate all "block" characters and all "special formatted" characters (i.e. accented characters, currency signs, etc.)
see http://asciitable.com/ for more information on ASCII characters -
Sql: remove special characters
Hello!
maybe someone has a hint for me how to remove special characters such as tab/new line characters from columns?
Thanks in advance!
TiberiusHmm... actually it's straight forward:
drop table mytexts
create table mytexts (comment varchar(50))
insert into mytexts values ('This is a standard text!')
insert into mytexts values ('There comes a TAB <--')
insert into mytexts values ('This is called a newline
<--<')
select * from mytexts
| COMMENT |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| This is a standard text! |
| There comes a TAB <-- |
| This is called a newline
<--< |
3 rows selected (1375 usec)
sqlcli db770=> select replace (replace(comment, ' '), '
> ') as cleaned_comment from mytexts
> ;
| CLEANED_COMMENT |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| Thisisastandardtext! |
| TherecomesaTAB<-- |
| Thisiscalledanewline<--< |
3 rows selected (1662 usec)
Seems to work...

Hi,
I have to remove special characters from string and replace it with space.
Kindly help its urgent.
ThanksHi,
You Can use Overlay command for this.
Syntax
OVERLAY text1 WITH text2 [ONLY pattern].
Effect
Characters in the text1 variable are replaced by characters in the text2 data object which are there in the same location. If the ONLY addition is not specified, all blank characters in text1 are replaced. If the ONLY addition is specified, all characters are replaced that occur in the pattern data object, and upper and lowercase is taken into consideration. If the lengths of text1 and text2 are different, text1 is processed using the shorter length only.
CONSTANTS initial_time TYPE t VALUE IS INITIAL.
DATA: time TYPE t,
text(4) TYPE c.
text = '12'.
time = text.
write : time.
Thanks,

Actively remove unwanted characters
Hi, I'm writing a function to actively remove unwanted characters from an input field. It will run every time a key press event occurs on the selected input fields. It is going to remove quotes and things like that. This is what I have so far..
void test(){
char unwantedCharSet[50]={"abcD"};
char tempString2[200];
int matchedCharIndex;
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle[MAIN], MAIN_STRING,tempString);
do{
RemoveSurroundingWhiteSpace (tempString);
matchedCharIndex = strcspn (tempString, unwantedCharSet);
if(matchedCharIndex==strlen(tempString)){
SetCtrlVal (panelHandle[MAIN], MAIN_STRING, tempString);
return;
else{
strncpy (tempString2, tempString, matchedCharIndex);
CopyString (tempString, matchedCharIndex, tempString,matchedCharIndex+1,(strlen(tempString)-matchedCharIndex));
strcat (tempString2, tempString);
sprintf(tempString,"%s",tempString2);
} while(1);
return;
It is still glitchy. Does anyone have any advice to efficiently do this?
Thanks in advance!

How can I remove special characters from spreadsheet filename?
Hi
Having a spreadsheet filename coded (on the Report Attributes page) as &VARIABLE..csv works fine unless the VARIABLE contains special characters such as space, lt, gt and so on.
In the case of space, it is replaced by %20 in the generated filename. Is it possible convert the %20s to underscores (or remove them)?
thanks
TrevorTrevor,
I would use a computation on that page to alter the value of variable, perhaps a SQL Expression such as:
replace (:VARIABLE, ' ', '_')Alternatively, look at the process that puts the value into VARIABLE in the first place and ensure no spaces >, etc are assigned.
