Removing spaces from field names?

Hi. I'm using Acrobat 9.3.3.
I use the Form Wizard to create... forms. And a lot of these forms I need to have it do some math calculations -- sums, products, etc. But when I use the Wizard, it auto-creates field names with spaces in them. And (I don't know if this is normal), when I create formulas, notations, scripts, if it's trying to pull from a field with a space in the name it doesn't work.
I have to go in and manually take out the spaces from all the field names... and there can be a lot of fields!
Is there some process I'm not seeing, or some way to configure the Wizard, to remove/prevent spaces in the field names?
Thanks for any info!
Liam

I don't believe it is possible.

Removing spaces in column names

Hi
I have imported a number of tables from a legacy db. The column names in tables have spaces in them. Is there a script I can run to remove spaces from column names in all tables?
Thanks
Regards

First of all, I do not agree with the concept of changing the column names. There is a good chance of breaking your code, if the table has been referred in procs/functions etc.
One good method would be, import the tables from legacy db into staging and then insert into your actual tables by mapping the tables correctly where your actual table would not have the [space].[Here, I assume your procs/functions etc refer only your actual
tables not staging tables].
OR, if you are looking for a plain logic, then use the below:
The below script wont execute the change, but just would give the statements to be executed to make the column modifications. This is intentional, because this is not a good practice and you can verify the objects and scripts rather than executing it directly.
create table test_table([column test space] int)
--select * From test_table
--Script to do the change in column name
select 'EXEC sp_rename '''+ B.name+'.'+a.name +''', '''+replace(a.name,' ','') +''', ''COLUMN''' from sys.columns A
Inner join sys.tables B on A.object_id = B.object_id and OBJECTPROPERTY(b.object_id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
where
system_type_id in
(select system_type_id From sys.types ) and charindex(' ',a.name)<>0
EXEC sp_rename 'tbl_apas_t_tech.application id', 'applicationid', 'COLUMN'
EXEC sp_rename 'test_table.column test space', 'columntestspace', 'COLUMN'
Drop table test_table
EDIT: Formatting...

Removing spaces in field

Sorry for asking a very simple (hopefully) question. Does anyone know how can remove spaces from a given field. One of my field has the following:
field1 = ' ABCD'.
What command should I use so field1 would end up with just 'ABCD'?
Thanks.

Hi SS
General templates for doing such operations on strings:
SHIFT <c> LEFT DELETING LEADING <str>.
SHIFT <c> RIGHT DELETING TRAILING <str>.
where str can be SPACE or something like e.g: 'abc'

How do i remove space from my start up disk?

Do you mean "make" space on your HD?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Removing spaces from multiple files

I'm using iWeb to make a photogallery, and when i publish to my server on yahoo, it says there is an error. Now i've had tons of errors and problems with yahoo, and i've come to the conclusion that this problem is because the file names have spaces, and yahoo's servers don't like spaces. So, i was wondering how one would go about removing spaces in file names of multiple files in a folder.

Don't forget that this won't fix any links within the pages themselves.
If you have a link to "some page.html" and the script renames the file 'some_page.html', you'll need to manually update the links in the page to the new file name before the link will work.

Remove namespace from element name

hello,
which is the most efficient way to remove the namespace from the name of all the elements of a dom document ?
eg:
<ns1:mytag>aaa</ns1:mytag> should become <mytag>aaa</mytag>
is it possible to have an example in java ?
thanks
roberto

Personally I would write an XSLT to do that. Just modify the identity transformation to write out elements with no namespace prefix.

How do i remove "network" from Mac Name Devices?

Im currently setting up an apple network to work with my Active Directory and so far so good. I have Active Directory authenticating users and open directory restricting access to features. In Finder i have been able to create a policy to remove the objects from the side panel e.g shared, places and devices. My problem is i am unable to remove "network" from clicking "mac name". The reason for me doing this is because it opens a massive security hole in my network. When i map/mount a windows directory e.g The users home directory, it then displays every share on that server apart from the hidden shares when you go to network>servername. Its not possible to hide all the shares because they are needed by windows e.g Netlogon and SYSVOL. So my question is how can i remove or can i remove Network
Thanks

But they can also be accessed by Windows, also when they are NOT visible. So just by hiding the folder, you don't add any security. If it had to be accessed there is always a way to without seeing the symbol. Set up ACL permissions for the shares so users can only access data they are authorized to.

How to remove space from a variable in a smartform

Hi,
I have a problem in displaying a variable in a smartform..The variable shows some blank space that preceeds the data.
for eg:,
variable = 18.000.
How to remove space before 18.000?

To remove the decimal places for quantity and rate/quantity , use the syntax to restrict the number of digits after decimal places. The syntax is
&symbol(.N)&
where N is number of decimal places.
Since you dont want decimals use &symbol(.0)&
For the other case it depends on how the currency is represented , any way try using the syntex &symbol(T)&
Please give me reward point If it is useful
Thanks

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.

Remove spaces from a field

i have a field in a table that stores the email address; this field is manually populated, so almost anything can be put into it; the field is 100 characters long;
one one particular record, someone entered:
"[email protected] [email protected]" into the email address; yes, that is the email address, some spaces and then the email address again;
i have a select statement that gets the first 50 characters of the email address -- "select substr(email_addr,1,50) from employee;"
so what i'm getting is "[email protected] johnathan.washingto", when all i want is "[email protected]";
So what function or trick can i use to get all characters in the email address up to but not including the first space? I thought translate or decode could do it, but i haven't figured it out yet.

This forum is for using the "SQL Developer" tool rather than general SQL questions (which is what the "SQL and PL/SQL" forum is for). However, to get what you want, try:
select decode(instr(email_addr, ' '), 0, email_addr, substr(email_addr, 1, instr(email_addr, ' ') - 1)) from employee;
This should work for both where there is a space and where there isn't a space.

Do I really still have to remove all spaces from file names?

My staff made a bunch of videos with Camtasia, and now we're integrating them into a web site. Even though I told them "no spaces"... Now, there are hundreds of files with spaces.
Do I really still need to remove them? I know back in the day the %20 could mess some things up... None of the links will ever be typed in, so they don't have to be user friendly.
If I do need to remove them, does anyone know of a tool that will do it for me?
Thanks!

Why not get one of the dozens of FREE file renamers for either Win or Mac and simply use it to "replace" the space with an underscore or hyphen? It saves you a lot of time, and your files will be W3C compliant
Because the Camtasia MP4 video files are controlled by an SWF controller, so the file paths in the controller would break.
To make it complaint, we'd have to rename each of the hundreds of videos (the file renamers would work), then open each master file, find the files lost by changed links, and re-produce.
Lots and lots of hours.

while((line = br.readLine()) != null)
 inputText = line;
p = Pattern.compile("\\s+|\t");
m = p.matcher(inputText);
System.out.println(afterReplace);
afterReplace = afterReplace + m.replaceAll(" ") + "\r\n";
System.out.println(afterReplace);
fr.close();
