Replace ' ) ' using replaceAll ???

I am unable to replace ' ) ' in a string with replaceAll . can any one help??
I tried the following...... but no use......
Sting name = "askdf)";
name.replaceAll("\\)","");

Did you even try to look it up in the javadocs? String is immutable, so replaceAll returns a new String.
name = name.replaceAll("\\)","");

How to use replaceALL to replace "/" to "\"

i tried to use replaceAll("/","\\") to replace "/" in string "d:/test/test/ ". It doesn't work. anyone can tell me why?

str = str.replaceAll("/", "\\\\");\ is special in String literal in Java source code, so if you have a "String literal like this one" to contain a literal \, you have to use two \\s in the String literal.
\ is also special in regex, so if you want a literal \ in a regex you need to give that regex two of them, that is, \\.
Combining those two yields \\\\ to get a single \ in a regex that is specified by a string literal.

Find and replace using wildcard

I've inserted table content using Insert/Table Objects/Insert Tabular Data in DWCS3 and want to remove unwanted code from the table insert.
Example:
<td width=156 valign=top style='width:117.0pt;border-top:none;border-left:
none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-left-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;
mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;background:#FF8A50;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'>
The text between "width" and "Arial'" varies but these two start and end words are the same in each instance to be replaced - how can I find and replace using a regular expression wildcard? Have researched on web but not come across answer yet. I thought it might be simple and hopefully it is and I'm just having a shocker. Is it something like Find: "<td [^"]*> and Replace with: "<td>"? Am I close?
I'd appreciate anyone's help and thankyou in advance for your time.

You might be able to sort this out with Commands > Clean Up Word HTML.
However, the following regular expression should also do what you're looking for (make a backup first). Put this in the Find field:
(<td)[\w\W]+?Arial\'(>)
Put this in the Replace field:
$1$2
Select "Use regular expression".

Alternative to replace use of Table BDCP

Hi Guys,
SAP table BDCP which is used in START-OF-SELECTION is obsolete in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 SP Stack 4 and Data in this table is not maintained any more. I need to find an alternative to replace use of table BDCP. Any one have any idea what can be the alternative?
Thanks and best regards.
Fahad

Hi Fahad,
I do not see any such information published in SAP. If you have valid documentation please educate the community.
For your information BDCP contents can be moved to BDCP2 to improvise performance.
Refer SAP note 305462 - MOD: Migrating change pointers to table BDCP2
you may query on BDCP2 for faster selection.
Hope this helps.

Catalog manger "search and replace " using xml script

Hi ,
we have renamed 6 rpd columns names in rpd & alias is not removed yet .In catalog manager i can search and replace using string .But it takes lot time as they are stored in different reports , which are existing . I am trying to use xml script for replacing them.I got sample script from help file for single column . can anyone help for doing that for multiple strings.I will provide with my inputs .
my inputs:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<actions>
<action command="textReplace" oldValue="column 1 " newValue="column one" ignoreCase="true"/>
<action command="textReplace" oldValue="column 2" newValue="column two" ignoreCase="true"/>
<action command="textReplace" oldValue="column 3" newValue="column three" ignoreCase="true"/>
</actions>
please correct me .

Given xml content looks okay but just in case check this oldValue="column 1 ", there is additional space at the end.
I would suggest to extract Analysis report (.csv) using Catalog Manager and find out the list of reports based on those columns.
This would help you learn with list of reports based on report owners, and then go for the fixing those reports.
If you go by xml replace you never know the affected reports and you may not confirm until report owners come back to you with issues.
This might take little bit time but your changes based on proper doc.
Let me know updates, if helps mark

I can't check your script right now since I'm not on Mac. I recommend you to use FindChangeByList script for CS4 instead (it works with CS3): http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2080627-12695/FindChangeByListCS4.zip together with Martin Fisher's: http://www.kasyan.ho.com.ua/downloads/RecordFindChange_CS3_Kas.zip
Use this script to record settings from Text and GREP tabs, then copy and paste them into FindChandgeList.txt file.
Or, optionally you can use this script: http://www.kasyan.ho.com.ua/find_change_by_queries.html.

Double replacement using repalceAll methot of Matcher

Hi all,
I'm using the java.util.regex package in my program.
I have noticed that this code
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(".*");
Matcher m = p.matcher ("anystring");
String s = m.replaceAll ("otherstring");
it like produce a wrong result, the string s going to contain
otherstringotherstring insted of otherstring.
It is wrong? I think this is a bun in JDK.
I'm using the j2se 1.4.1_01-b01 for linux
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

To elaborate on that explanation a little:
The pattern matches the whole input, and replaces it with "otherstring".
Then the pattern is matched against what is left, which is nothing, or "" (the empty string). Your pattern matches that, therefore it is 'replaced' by another occurance of "otherstring".

Regular expression: using replaceAll

I have the following input text:
hello javascript:link('1') bye
hello javascript:link('2') bye
hello javascript:link('2') bye
javascript:link('3') hello javascript:link('2')
I am using the folllowing regular expression:
javascript:link(\$.*?\$)
in the following code:
File file = new File("C://simple.txt");
String regex = "javascript:link(\$.*?\$)";
String replacement = "REPLACED";
String output = "";
          BufferedReader input;
          try {
          input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
               String text = input.readLine();
               while(text != null) {
          Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
          Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
          if(matcher.find()) {
          output = matcher.replaceAll(matcher.group(1) + replacement);
                    System.out.println(output);
               text = input.readLine();
          catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
And my output is:
hello ('1')REPLACED bye
hello ('2')REPLACED bye
hello ('2')REPLACED bye
('3')REPLACED hello ('3')REPLACED
Firstly, why do the brackets appear in ('1'). I would expect '1'
Secondly, how do I get the output to say ('3')REPLACED hello ('2')REPLACED, instead of ('3')REPLACED hello ('3')REPLACED

The examples I gave work with what you have suggested.
I now need to take it a step further. This is my code now:
String test = "javascript:link('3X') hello javascript:link('2') hello javascript:link('3X')";
String pattern = "javascript:link\$'(.*?)X'\$";
System.out.println(test.replaceAll(pattern, "$1:REPLACED"));
But the output is:
3:REPLACED hello 2') hello javascript:link('3:REPLACED
I would like the output to be:
3:REPLACED hello javascript:link('2') 3:REPLACED
How can I achieve this?

How to use replaceAll()

I have a string
s = "hai hai hai".
i want to replace "ai" with "ello" so that my string reads "hello hello hello". i used the syntax
s = s.replaceAll("ai",ello").
the code compiles fine, but i am getting theexception
"java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unmatched closing ')' "
can anyone tell me the correct syntax?

sorry I didn't get you...You didn't post your actual code, I guess.
It is better to post the relevant part of your code instead of posting non-compilable statments (including typos.)
The following code works perfectly:String s = "hai hai hai";
s = s.replaceAll("ai", "ello");
System.out.println(s);Moreover, the exception suggests that you have a parenthesis in your String, which is not the case in what you've posted.
My guess is therefore: the error is not related to this replaceAll thing.
Anyway, remember that the first parameter of the replaceAll method is a regular expression. Consequently, some characters (e.g. parenthesis) have special meaning.

Trying to restore system onto MBP after hard drive replaced using time capsule...

The hard drive on my MBP died and was replaced. Everything had been backed up on time machine, on a time capsule.
I've been trying unsuccessfully to do a full system restore from the time capsule. first I opened up the MBP and opted to restore from time machine in the set-up, using wifi network. I got the network and 'disc' 'data' '1 time machine backup' but when I pressed continue I got a dialogue box 'opening XX macbook pro...checking volumes' for about 3 hours, then finally the message 'no volumes detected'.
Tried that a couple of times, then went through the set-up procedure and in to Migration Assistant to try again.
The same thing happens, whether throgh wifi or usb - 3 or 4 hours of 'checking volumes' then 'volumes not found'.
Shouldnt restoring from time capsule be simple and straightforward even for a non-techie like me? (I thought that was the point!)
Any pointers on how I restore my old mac onto this new drive please?
NB old system was running on Lion. Mac Store installed snow leopard onto repaired mac.

How are you starting the system? Are you booting from a DVD or starting from the new hard drive that was installed?
In your OP you never stated the drive was replaced by Apple. You just said you had a New drive.
I'm going to leave this for someone that is more familair with time capsule as I have never worked with one.

Find and Replace using Wildcards

I am following the procedure outlined in Trent’s Blog:
http://www.trentmueller.com/blog/search-and-replace-wildcard-characters-in-dreamweaver.htm l
This is fantastic stuff and will really help me.
I have a few (but only a few) times had success.
It says to “Use regular expression.” What does that mean? What is an “irregular expression?” I have tried with the box checked and unchecked. Usually with the box checked it will not Find my string. I uncheck the box and it sometimes does.
Example:
Link to www.schembs.com/TEST_jds_1.html
At the moment all the Cases are identical. I have not uploaded the .css to the site so the right-most formating is not properly displaying. It does work when the .css is available.
In the source code I literally copy the line of code:
Joh. Heinrich Schöm (1713-1785) 1.
and paste it into the Find box of F&R. I then put my cursor above the line and it does not Find it, giving me the “Done. Not found in current document.” response. I uncheck the “Use regular expression” box and it will find it.
THEN,
I try using a wildcard (with the box checked), Finding:
([^<]*)
or
[^”]*
and it will find the misc. lines, e.g. where the text is “Case #1”, but not the lines of interest, with Heinrich’s name. With the box unchecked it Finds nothing.
Really would appreciate help. Thanks.

A regular expression is a pattern for matching text. It uses a combination of literal characters and special symbols or sequences of characters (technically called metacharacters or metasequences) to represent such things as the beginning and end of a line or any alphanumeric character. For example, \d represents any number (single digit), \d* represents zero or more numbers in sequence.
I have written a tutorial series on using regular expressions in Dreamweaver here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/regular_expressions_pt1.html.
I try using a wildcard (with the box checked), Finding:
([^<]*)
or
[^”]*
They're not wildcards, but regular expressions. The first part matches the literal characters . The next sections use metacharacters.
([^<]*) matches zero or more characters (and as many as possible) that don't include an opening angle bracket (<). The parentheses "capture" the value that's matched so it can be used in a replace sequence.
[^"]* matches zero or more characters (and as many as possible) that don't include a double quote. There are no parentheses, so the value is not captured for reuse.
The closing matches those literal characters.
Regular expressions are not easy, but they're extremely powerful, and a good skill to acquire.

Find and Replace using Behaviors

I used Find and Replace in CS3 to add HTML code that includes
a DW Behavior. The behavior opens a message popup when clicked.
The Find and Replace works and by adding the Behavior code
correctly. However, when I save the page and then click the link to
test the behavior, the popup does not appear.
The only way I can get the Behavior to work correctly is to
complete the Find and Replace, double-click to open the Behavior
from the Tag group, close the behavior and then resave the page.
Is this a DW problem or am I doing something wrong?

You are probably not adding all the necessary code during the
search and
replace. What exactly are you pasting in?

Are new MB replacements using the same batch of bad 8600M chips?

My Macbook Pro Santa Rosa from 2007 just died yesterday. I brought it in for Logic Board replacement. It'll cost some days of productivity. But two things occur to me:
1. Do these replacement logic board use the same batch of dodgy nVidia 8600M chips? If that's the case, then anyone getting them replaced is essentially getting a chip that will eventually fail again within 2-3 years. And that's just not a real solution but just a temporary fix. It looks likely because one of my friends had his replacement Logic Board fail within 8 months of its replacing.
2. While the extension of coverage for this problem is a generous gesture on Apple's part, people who have invested in Applecare are not getting any real benefits for this issue from their investment. They're going to be just as much in the cold as everyone else once support is EOL on this item. Shouldn't there be an extension of Applecare as well? Or maybe a discount on a newer model?
I really expected this investment to work at least 6-8 years. Now it looks like it's closer to 4. I'm very nervous about using a machine that I know will at some point just fail again. And I'm just not in a position to sell this one and buy a newer one.

If you read the support documentation, you learn they "may" use refurbished parts. But that does not mean necessarily it would be the same bad batch.
It would certainly not reflect well on them if it is a bad batch. However, if your read my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
You'll learn it is more an art than a science to identify all quality memory chips. So while one can't guarantee there aren't additional chips that are not bad, it is more unlikely that chips that were definitely bad in the first plcae were recycled into your refurbished board.
So be prepared with some backup, in event something does fail*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
And yes, there are many machines that do last 8 years, even from
the more current machines. A lot depends on usage, and if you have power issues*:
http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
and if you ensure the machine is on a surface where it is less likely to overheat.
If you get repeated failure of repairs, you should insist on getting a replacement Mac when next contacting AppleCare.

Bulk Replacements using Replace function in oracle 8i

Hi All,
Iam using oracle 8i version and i need to use Replace function for bulf replacements i mean i need to replace around 250 rows. So please anyone suggest me how to proceed
on this request as iam using oracle 8i version.
Thanks!
Srini

Write one update statement.
The where condition is the filter what rows need to be touched.
The SET condition will do the data change. For example it could use the REPLACE function if that is what it is needed.
One single update statement over 20 rows would mean the task is done in BULK. 20 single updates that each handle one row would mean it is row by row = slow by slow processing.
