Replace comma with a character only if it is enclosed in single quotes

I have a string
String stmt = "insert into ABC values (Default,'ABC','1234,xyz,abc');{code}
expected the result is
insert into ABC values (Default,'ABC','1234~xyz~abc')
I want to replace only those commas with a ~ if they are part of the string enclosed in a pair of singe quotes.
i am trying something like
{code}String regex = "\'\\w+(,)+\\w*,*\\w*\'+\1";
String output = stmt.replaceAll(regex,"~");
{code}
but its not working
Please help.

No, that's not what I am trying to do.
This is not an insert into a sql, I have to parse a DML (SQL Script) and get table name, values out of it, but I can't split the string with commas.
Then you should find or build a parser.
Unless the DML is very well constrained or the set is very small and will remain so, by the time you finish mucking around with all the possibilities attempting it with regexes you will have a parser but not a very good one.

Calculated formula for replacing a comma with a Semicolon in a text field

I need help replacing a comma with a Semicolon in a text field.
I have a field that has names separated by commas.
Ex: Dog, Cat, Bird, Horse, Eagle, Worm, Snake
I would like a calculated column that converts the field into: Dog; Cat; Bird; Horse; Eagle; Worm; Snake
I figured out the first three positions (Dog, Cat, Bird,) but I can't figure out the rest.
Using the formula below.
=REPLACE((REPLACE((REPLACE([Title],SEARCH(",",[Title]),"1"," ; ")),SEARCH(",",(REPLACE([Title],SEARCH(",",[Title]),"1"," ; "))),"1"," ; ")),SEARCH(",",(REPLACE((REPLACE([Title],SEARCH(",",[Title]),"1","
; ")),SEARCH(",",(REPLACE([Title],SEARCH(",",[Title]),"1"," ; "))),"1"," ; "))),"1"," ; ")

[GREP] – find/replace only first comma in paragraph

Is it possible to find and replace only the first comma in paragraph with certain paragraph style with end of paragraph character using GREP search? Or in other words – to split paragraph into two paragraphs by replacing the first comma in paragraph with end of paragraph character?
Claudius

That's an interesting problem, and I think it takes at least two steps.
The expression (^[^,]+),\s* will find all text from the beginning of a paragraph up to the first comma, which might be followed by whitespace and allows you to use the $1 operator in the change to field to save the text up to the comma, but replace the comma and following whitespace with anything you like. However, as soon as you replace that with a paragraph break you've created a new paragraph to search and you end up breaking at every comma.
Instead you need to insert a stand-in symbol of some sort with a unique character style applied (so it won't get picked up any other way), for instance change to $1% and apply the style named "break" which does no formatting but flags the text for the next search.
Now search for % with the "break" style and replace with the paragragh break (and no style).
You should probably now search for .+ with the break style and change to nothing (or $0 for found text), and remove the style, just to be clean.
There's still one problem, though, and that's that all the new paragraphs start with a lower-case character unless the first word after the comma happened to be capitalized. You could now search for ^. to find the first character in each paragraph and use the change format to apply a character style that assigns all caps, but that's really an ugly way to work.
All of this will fall apart, too, I think if you have nested or GREP styles affecting the beginning text or the first character in any paragraph that you wind up with.

Replace Mac line breaks with Windows linebreaks?

Is there a simple AppleScript that could process a plain text file created on a Mac and replace the line breaks with Windows-compatible \r\n line breaks?
I thought this would be a very simple task but have been searching for quite a while and can't find anything.
Thanks.
Paul

There are several approaches to this. Here's one of them:
set theFile to (choose file)
set MacText to paragraphs of (read theFile)
set {oldDelims, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, (return & linefeed)}
set WindowsText to MacText as text
set my text item delimiters to oldDelims
set outputFile to (open for access theFile with write permission)
set eof outputFile to 0
write WindowsText to outputFile
close access outputFile
To explain, the first line asks you to choose the file in question - you could use any technique to identify the file, including hard-coding the path or using a drag-and-drop handler.
The second line gets the current paragraphs and calls them 'MacText'
The third line saves the current text item delimiters in oldDelims and sets the new text item delimiters to the CR+LF combination.
The fourth line performs the magic of transforming the file. It does this by coercing the list of paragraphs (obtained in line 2) into a single text block, and it inserts the current text item delimiters between each text item, miraculously giving you CRLF-terminated paragraphs.
The fifth line restores the text item delimiters to whatever they were before (you don't know what they were, but don't need to know what they were, as long as you restore the previous setting - it's unlikely you want CRLF moving forwards).
The rest of the script (lines 6 through 9) reopen the file you originally selected, sets the EOF to 0 (effectively wiping the file contents), then writes the CRLF-terminated text to the file and finally closes the file.
Note that some people might suggest using text item delimiters to break up the original text file on CRs but that would be wrong IMHO. The reason is that 'paragraphs of' can detect and handle both CR and CRLF-terminated paragraphs, leaving you with clean paragraphs into which you insert CRLFs.
This means that if the file originally had CRLF-terminated paragraphs you'd end up with the same data, but at least there was no harm done.
In contrast, if you simply searched for CRs and replaced them with CRLFs you could have the situation where you selected a CRLF-terminated file (maybe you didn't realize it was already in the Windows format) and your script would blindly replace each CR with CRLF, meaning you'd end up with CRLFLF combinations, which is very wrong.

Replacing the glossy screen with a 3rd party anti-glare or matte

I had my credit card ready to purchase 2 iMacs (finally rplacing our two G5's), until I realized that the anti-glare option with the 15" and 17" MBP would not be carried over to the iMacs. So I was wondering if anyone know of a third party with an option to replace the glossy screen with either a matte or an anti-glare screen. Would this void any warranty?

Open letter to Apple:
Let me first say, I'm a long-time, loyal Mac user (and defender). My first experience with Apple was in elementary school - on the Apple IIE. I created a game using DOS code in grade 5.
My father was a high school teacher and brought home a Mac Plus when I was in high school. The "Paint" program that it came installed with initiated my humble beginnings as digital designer - even on the small black and white screen, with it's limited capabilities, I could see the potential. We were always a Mac family. When my mother finally retired, I talked her into getting the same 24" white IMac I currently have, because that way I could walk her through the setting up and use of it, and now we can skype each other and it's like she's here in the room with me, not a whole province away.
I even had a Mac as a single mom struggling as a full time Communication Design student at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. My young daughter and I lived off my student loans, but they weren't enough to buy a Mac, so I asked my dad to co-sign a student line of credit so I could get a Mac to be compatible with the computers at school. This was the only way I could take my homework home and work while my daughter slept. I sacrificed a lot to have a Mac. We sacrificed.
Skip ahead about a decade, I have my own small graphic design business, I currently have 3 Mac computers: I have a 24" white Imac as my main business tool; I have a titanium laptop for meetings and presentations, and a white Macbook laptop that my high school-aged daughter uses for school and socializing.
I am now at the point in my growing business that it is finally time to upgrade all of my equipment. I've been excitedly holding out for the newest Imac release. I went in to our local BestBuy a few weeks ago to buy my new 27" fully loaded Imac (hey I've worked hard, why not splurge a little?) As I walked up to the Mac display and finally laid eyes on my long awaited dream machine, all I could see was the shocked and betrayed look on my face reflected in the shiny surface of the screen. I nearly cried, I was so disappointed. All I could think was "How could you? "
What is the point of having the shiny screen? I feel so betrayed, so foolish, for sticking with Apple through thick and thin for nearly a quarter of a century. I have invested thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in Apple products, peripherals, and MAC compatible software for all of my Macs. Adobe CS3, Microsoft Office, 3rd party applications, Mac compatible fonts, and even games. I have purchased protection plans, extra RAM, home insurance and back-up devices for my Macs. I was invested in you, Apple. So what now? Will my hard earned savings now go toward buying the new PC software needed to convert my business to PCs?
The graphics industry, for a large part, has kept Apple going all these years. We have paid the premium for our Apples, and we have just been stabbed in the back by Apple. On behalf of the entire graphic design community in North America, Apple, please offer us a matte screen option on all your new computers.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

10.6.8 software update won't reboot. It replaces the Apple logo with a circle with a diagonal line though it. What's the best course of action from here?

I used software update last night and my iMac didn't restart afterwards. I spun the little "dashed" wheel for a bit and then replaced the Apple Logo with a slashed circle symbol. I"ve tried several fixes without success and would like to know what my best approach might be.
I've tried to boot into single user mode but that failed the same as above. I've tried disk verify and repair permissions using Disk Utility, again without success in fixing the problem.

com.apple.iokiast.IOUSBMassStorageClass
is a Apple kext file and likely necessary.
What you can do is backup your Users folders to another external drive (not TimeMachine) first so you have your files outside of TM. Disconnect this drive for safety reasons.
Then hold c and boot off the OS X 10.6 installer disk and simply reinstall OS X on top of the installed version, then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
That should replace the troubled kext file with a fresh version.
This shouldn't bother your files or third party programs unless they have kext files or other "hooks" into OS X, if these programs fail, then just reinstall them from fresh sources and/or update to reinstall their missing parts.
Consider cloning your boot drive to a external HFS+ journaled formatted drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

How to replace # or Not assigned with blank in BEx Query Output.

Hi,
While running the query through BEx Query desginer or Anlayser, I am getting # or Not assigned where there are no values.
The requirement is to "Replace # or Not assigned with a blank" in the output.
I want to know, is there any setting in BEx query desginer where we can do this. How to do this.
Please share your inputs on this. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Naveen

Check out SDN-thread: "Re: Remove 'Not assigned'" for more details
Ideas from SDN research:
"a solution i have used is to put each RKF column in a CKF colum then in each CKF use RKF + 0, the outcome is that your # should now be 0s, in the query properties you can set the option to display 0s as blank."
"try to enter a text for the blank entry in the master data maintenance of the relevant objects and set the display option for the objects to 'text'."

Difficulties replacing some BC functionality with XI (refer to example)

Difficulties replacing some BC functionality with XI (refer to example)
I am transferring all interface processing from BC to XI and am having difficulties replacing some of the current BC functionality. Please refer to my example below
Current process
SAP R/3
SAP R/3 executes an abap that extracts certain data. This data is passed via a remote function which is configured to point to Business Connector
Business Connector
Business Connector takes control and the relevant package does some internal processing then calls the remote enabled function BAPI_ACC_BILLING_POST
SAP R/3
Control is returned to SAP R/3 to post the data and on completion control is returned to Business Connector
Business Connector
Business Connector again takes control where some more processing is done to generate an xml version of the data prior to returning control back to SAP R/3
SAP R/3
Control is returned to the abap immediately following the call to the remote function and processing completes
The initial synchronous call from SAP R/3 to Business Connector remains open whilst Business Connector executes a subsequent synchronous call to SAP R/3.
Finally the initial synchronous call in SAP R/3 completes
Proposed Process
I am transferring all interface processing from BC to XI and am having difficulties replacing some of the current BC functionality. In this instance I can set up the initial synchronous call via an XI Integration Process (sync/async bridge). This allows me to perform subsequent asynchronous calls prior to closing the synchronous bridge
I have successfully performed synchronous calls to SAP R/3 from XI for different scenarios and have set up the XI design and config in the same manner
When I try to perform the synchronous posting back to SAP R/3 from within the SA bridge I get the message Message is incomplete. No Sender found
Unlike BC, it appears that XI does not allow me to perform the synchronous posting back to SAP R/3 from within the SA bridge.
Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/d2a84028c9e469e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for the SAP description To enable the communication between a synchronously calling business system (synchronous outbound interface) and an asynchronously called business system (asynchronous inbound and outbound interface), you can define a sync/async bridge in an integration process. You can only define one sync/async bridge for each integration process.
How can I replace the current BC functionality using XI?
Regards,
Mike

Hi all,
I cannot replicate the current BC functionality in XI
So I will take this opportunity to simplify and improve the design for XI --> R/3

Mike

[CS5-5.5][JS] Replace xml element content with user selection

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that replaces xml element content with a user selection.
I have document containing a textframe with a "root" tag attached. In this frame I have 2 paragraphs, each tagged with a different tag.
I would like to replace the content of one of the paragraphs with the content of a text selection.
This piece of code doesn't seem to work:
myXMLElement.xmlContent = app.selection[0];
The problem is that almost all properties of the xmlelement (paragraphs, words, etc) are read-only.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanx

It depends on whether you want to maintain formatting. You can use
myXMLElement.contents = app.selection[0].contents;
in the (unlikely?) event that you don't mind blowing away the formatting. Otherwise you'll want to use something like:
myXMLElement.xmlContent.remove();
app.selection[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, myXMLElement.xmlContent);

I had a generic record class that has a HashMap to hold the data fields (...)
method called createRecord() for each record type which would populate the HashMap with the correct data fieldsI'm not sure I understand: are the contents of this field map the same between two records of the same type? Then yes, you don't need to clone the map per record instance.
one thing that needs fixing is the fact that each time the createRecord() method is called I'm creating a new fieldMap to define the dataFields in the record class.Probably, but that will only get you a little bigger files; you won't gain an order of magnitude on the size of files. The problem for huge files is that as soon as their content is bigger than the available memory, you'll run into problems. A more radical approach if you need to address huge files is to process the records on the fly, and not load all records in memory. Of course not all algorithms or business logic can afford that...
I know I could rewrite the code and create a class for each record type and declare the fieldMap static but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions The Record instance could receive and keep a reference to its RecordType instance, and ask the RecordType instance the DataType for a field's name. That way the RecordType encapsulates the map, and there's less risk that a clumsy other class modifies the static map.
before I go rewriting a load of code.A load of code?!? Even with the idea of the static map, you only have to edit the enum type (well more accurately, each RecordType enumerated constant's createRecord() method).
