Replace characters between with single * in variable

Hi Experts ,
I want to replace all characters between < > with *. Data is stored in variable type char255.
Example ,
Suppose variable contains : Wage Type <Wage Type> Not Valid For Interface ID <ID>
I want output as Wage Type * Not Valid For Interface ID *.
Thanks & Regards ,
Jigar Thakkar

Hi Jigar,
Find the length of the string and use DO...ENDDO statement. Inside the loop, didnt consider the text between < and > and move to another string and add * when > is encountered in the string.
data:
gv_len type i,
gv_str type string value 'Wage Type <Wage Type> Not Valid For Interface ID <ID>',
gv_rep_str type string,
gv_flag type char1,
gv_index type sy-index.
gv_len = strlen( gv_str ).
do gv_len times.
gv_index = sy-index - 1.
if gv_str+gv_index(1) = '<'.
gv_flag = 'X'.
continue.
elseif gv_str+gv_index(1) = '>'.
clear gv_flag.
concatenate gv_rep_str '*' into gv_rep_str.
continue.
elseif gv_flag is initial.
concatenate gv_rep_str gv_str+gv_index(1) into gv_rep_str.
endif.
enddo.
write:/ gv_rep_str.
Thanks,
Vinay

Firefox is replacing double quotes with single quotes.

In WordPress and at other sites where I input and save text, Firefox is replacing double quotes with single quotes when I save. It's also showing double quotes as single quotes on websites. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it's still happening.

Do you have the needed font installed?

Replacing characters between specific characters

Hello,
I need to replace commas in a string with , but only
between " ".
Does anyone know how to do this. I have looked high and low
and tried many things, like trying to find where the first " starts
and the last " but not being able to loop through the rest of the
string to find other occurences.
I would be extremly grateful for someones help/advice
Chris

I would do it in a Java class. Then use Coldfusion to create
an object from that, for any given string. Equip the object with
the following functionality.
Function 1: For any given string s, create the corresponding
String object,
new String(s). Use a loop and the function indexOf("\"",
fromIndex) to iteratively pick out the indices of all the quotes.
If a quote occurs at index N, the next iteration starts with the
value fromIndex=N+1. Store the quotes' indices in pairs (opening
and closing quotes), for example, in a 2D array.
Function 2: Given the original string object and an array of
(beginIndex, endIndex) integer pairs, use the function charAt(n) to
find where a comma occurs in the quoted parts of the string, and
replace each such occurrence with , . Here n is a dummy
integer variable that ranges from beginIndex-1 to endIndex-1 for
each pair of indices.
The following snippet is an attempt I made with Coldfusion.
However, it mistakenly fails to see indexOf as a function of the
String object. And I, alas, am too busy with other things to pursue
this line of interrogation with Coldfusion at the moment. I hope
the snippet conveys enough of the flavour of Function 1 to inspire
you to a solution.

Replacing " (double quote) with ' (single quote)

Hi there,
I have the following method to manipulate user input. All I want to do is, to replace the double quote with a single quote. The implementation I tried was,
this.replace(desc, "\"", "'");
This does not work for me. It jsut removes the double quote and does not introduces the single quote. Could any one please advise?
Thanks,
Des

Bad luck.. I am unable to get it still.
This is the code I am using (implemetation is in a JSP. I am using this code to test it).

     String doubleQuote = "\"";
     System.out.println(" output :"+ t.replace(s,doubleQuote,"'"));
     //System.out.println(" output :"+ t.replace(s,"\"","'"));
     //System.out.println(" output :"+ t.replace('"', '\''));
public static String replace(String line, String oldString, String newString) {
          if(line != null && oldString != null && newString != null) {
               int index = 0;
               while ((index = line.indexOf(oldString, index)) >= 0) {

                    index += newString.length();
          return line;

The main problem is I am stuck with the server's version of Java (which I have no control on it). I could not use 1.4.2

Replacing inconsistant spacing with single space in a string

is it possible to replace multiple spaces within a string with one space only. Number of spaces is different all the time.
say one field contains strings with imbedded spaces
I need to replace all these values so that there will be only one space between words.
For Eg.
Input                             Expected Result
aaa    bbb                       aaa bbb
ww                vv             ww vv
ww ss      kk                    ww ss kk

ACS - Replace IP Subnet with Single IP's

Hi Everyone,
I have been charged with a task to create individual entries in our ACS for each of our network devices. I am new to the ACS and the documentation does not seem to cover this scenario. Right now we have all our devices fall under a single subnet.
When I try to create a device within the subnet, it tells me IP subnets overlap with those defined for device.
If I try to change the existing IP Subnet to an IP range so I can exclude some devices from the IP Subnet, it tells me I cannot switch from IP Mask mode to IP Range mode.
I am guessing I need to delete the the record for the IP subnet and add each device back individually. My concern is that none of my devices will work until I add each one back.
Is this correct or is there a better way to go about this?
Thanks,
DC

You can configure the default network device with the same settings ad your subnet, remove the subnet definition and re-add the hosts one by one. You can also use file import to reduce time.

You can try this :-

                              let $LineItme := $input/LINE_ITEM[$x]/LINE_ITEMNO
                         let $match:= for $y in $x to count($input/LINE_ITEM)
                              where $input/LINE_ITEM[$y]/LINE_ITEMNO= $LineItme
                              return $input/LINE_ITEM[$y]/MESSAGE
                              return
                              <LINE_ITEM>
                                   <LINE_ITEMNO>{$LineItme/text()}</LINE_ITEMNO>
                                   <STATUS_CODE>{data($input/LINE_ITEM[$x]/STATUS_CODE)}</STATUS_CODE>
                                   <MESSAGE>{fn:data($match)}</MESSAGE>
                              </LINE_ITEM>
}</LINEITEMS>
return $out
You many then have to remove duplicates with line items. use fn:distinct() and then loop through.

A formula with a formula variable with a replacement path delivers X

A formula with a formula variable with a replacement path delivers X as a result if the characteristic of the replacement is not in the drilldown
I have Created on ( date ) on which I have a Formula variable . I have used that Formula Variable in my calculated Key figure .
Now the Problem is If I use Created on in ROW , The calculated key figure works . But if I don't use in Row , The calculated Key figure shows X . Situation is Users don't want to see Created on in ROW .
If I use in row and hide also , then number of Records will be same .
Pls guide me what shoud I do .

How to avoid SYSTEM_NO_TASK_STORAGE with multiple single values variable

Hi experts,
I am trying to do a distribution with reference data standart SAP function.
Fields to be changed:
ZPDHIER2 (Economic Group II)
ZPDHIER3 (Economic Group III)
ZPDCLIENT (Client)
Fields for condition:
KEY FIGURE NAME
Fields for reference:
KEY FIGURE NAME
ZPDSTATUS (Status)
FISCPER3 (Fiscal Period)
The parameters group is like:
Fields for condition:
Key figure: ZM_070 (one of the key figures)
Fields for reference:
Key figure: ZMONT_TN
FISCPER3: 001
Status: DE
- "Only distribute not assigned" is checked
I do not want the data to be distributed by any ZPDHIER2, ZPDHIER3 and ZPDCLIENT so I have restricted these characteristics in the planning level by some variables. These variables are user exit type and return multiple single values.
The issue regarding this message is that when I execute this function, depending on the size of the data brought by ZPDCLIENT user exit variable, this dump might or might not occur. As for the testing I've done, i realize that if the number of clients exceed 500, dump will occur.
This multiple single values variable (or any other solution) must be prepared for 3900 clients, and this number is expected to increase.
Anyone have faced same problem?
Hope you can provide me some help regarding this issue.
Tanks in advance,
André Oliveira

Hi Wadih saad,
I think the memory is not suffcient to hold the load. Check your swap space and memory during the client export and also check whether there is sufficient space in the hard disk to hold the export files.
You must have calculated the client size by using the test run. This size must be available as free space in hard disk to do the export.
Make the available space and do the export it will work.

Find and replace a single global variable

Hello,
I have a GUI which needs to be replicated 10 times. the variables in the global file also needs to be replicated ten times. ex: if GUI1 is using global variables GUI1_TestMode, GUI1_Result etc, GUI2 should use GUI2_TestMode, GUI2_Result and GUI3 should use GUI31_TestMode, GUI3_Result etc. So, once I have saved GUI1 as GUI2, I need a way to select all GUI1_TestMode in GUI2 and replace it with with GUI2_TestMode.
I tried find and replace in the edit menu, but it finds all the global variables together.
there are about 40 such global variables associated with each GUI and I dont think it will be sane to sit down, rename all of them in the global file, click on each variable and change them. I really hope I dont have to do that.
I am using Labview 8.6
Thanks.

Hi pcs,
instead of using 40 globals per GUI with upto 10 different GUIs you really should redesign your program.
I would suggest a FGV/AE handling those global data for all of those GUIs…
The quick & dirty way would be to use LabVIEW's VI linking scheme:
- Create your global VI with all needed variables. Create your "GUI" and connect it with that global VI.
- Now you copy your GUI to create a new one, this will still be linked to your "global VI".
- Then copy the global VI to create a new instance with a different name ("global2.vi") and ZIP (and remove) the original one.
- When you now open the global2.vi it will search for your orginal "global.vi". Then you simply direct it to use "global2.vi" instead…
- Repeat those steps for all other GUI-VIs…
As said before: QUICK & DIRTY!
Best regards,

Hi
You can create a new page with the message and no menu options for surfing the site and then drag the page to replace home page and then upload the site again.

Dynamic SQL and Data with Single Quotes in it.

Hi There,
I have a problem in that I am using dynamic SQL and it happens that one of the columns does contain single quotes (') in it as part of the data. This causes the resultant dynamic SQL to get confused as the single quote that is part of the data is taken to mean end of sting, when in fact its part of the data. This leaves out a dangling single quote that was meant to enclose the string. Here is my dynamic SQL and the result of the parsed SQL that I have captured:
****Dynamic SQL*****
l_sql:='select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID '||
'FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES '||
'where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='''||trim(fp_note_code)||''' '||
'and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='''||trim(fp_note_text)||''' ';
execute immediate l_sql INTO l_note_template_id;
Because the column DISPLAY_VALUE contains data with single quotes, the resultant SQL is:
******PARSED SQL************
select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID
FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES
where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='INQ' and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='Cont'd'
And the problem lies with the single quote between teh characters t and d in the data field for DISPLAY_ITEM. How can I handle this?
Many thanks,

I have been reliably informed that if one doesn't enclose char/varchar2 data items in quotes, the right indices may not be usedI am into oracle for past 4 years and for the first time i am hearing this.
Your reliable source is just wrong. Bind variables are variables that store your value and which are used in SQL. They are the proper way to use values in your SQL. By default all variables in PL/SQL is bind variable.
When you can do some thing in just straight SQL just do it. Dynamic SQL does not make any sense to me here.
Thanks,
Karthick.
