Retrive portion of string value in lowercase

I was wondering which function would set all the entire value of my string from the 1'st value on to upper case.
Using Oracle: 10.2g
Data:
Days of the week, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, etc...
Desired Output:
Sunday, Monday, etc...
What I tried:
select  to_char(sysdate, lower (substr('abcdefghi',1)('DAY')))
from dualthe above clearly doesn't work but it was my best guess, i'm just not sure which function I need here.

In this instance, there's no need for INITCAP or TRIM as you can do it within the to_char conversion. Also, if you don't include "fm" in your format mask, you'll get the name of the day including spaces, to take it up to the same width as the longest day (Wednesday in English), eg:
select  to_char(sysdate+1-level, 'Day') full_day,
        length(to_char(sysdate+1-level, 'Day')) length_full,
        to_char(sysdate+1-level, 'fmDay') fm_day,
        length(to_char(sysdate+1-level, 'fmDay')) length_fm
from dual
connect by level <= 7;
FULL_DAY  LENGTH_FULL FM_DAY     LENGTH_FM
Thursday            9 Thursday           8
Wednesday           9 Wednesday          9
Tuesday             9 Tuesday            7
Monday              9 Monday             6
Sunday              9 Sunday             6
Saturday            9 Saturday           8
Friday              9 Friday             6

  • Is there any native method for converting String value to Hungarian notat..

    Hello. there.
    This might be very simple question. but I'm just curious about this.
    I am wondering if Java API offer the any native method for converting uppercased string value to lowercase which obey the Hungarian notation.
    What I'm going to do is using Reflection for excuting RFC function on SAP. I was found it is very similar to JDBC Programming.
    Please refer to blow codes.
    //mTable
    JCoTable mTable = function.getTableParameterList().getTable(rtnTblNm);
        for (int i = 0; i < mTable.getNumRows(); i++) {
         mTable.setRow(i);
         HashMap tmpData = new HashMap ();
              for (int j=0; j < mTable.getNumColumns(); j++) {
                     // I want to set key String [userNo] instead of  [USER_NO] here.
              tmpData.put(mTable.getMetaData().getName(j).toLowerCase(), mTable.getString(j));
              result.add(tmpData);
    } Basically, The idea was from ibatis framework [com.ibatis.common.beans.classInfo] dropcase();
    Any idea would be very helpful for me. Thank you.

    If the titile as " +Is there any native method for converting String value to camelcase?"+ would be easier to what i'm pointing at.
    As I mentioned in above sorce code, converting [USER_NO] to [userNo] isn't relevant Hungarian notation. yes, it was ambiguous. Agree! :)
    But some answer wasn't fit to converting case or recognizing "underscore" delimiter. I was expecting toCamelCase() such as blew. Thanks.

            for (int i = 1; i < pieces.length; i++) {

  • Return all instances of a string value

    I know that similar questions have been asked before but I am having a tough time getting things to work.
    I would like to search for all instances of a string value (shown red) and return the corresponding values in the adjacent cells (shown green) so that each room number is represented.  For example, I want the search for "Adequately" to return rooms 236 and 237 (and 237 just once even though it is listed twice).  Is this possible?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Here's an example, similar in some ways to Yvan's, but taken a bit further.
    Data table (left) contains only the original data. I've shortened the ratings to allow an easier fit on this page.
    Summary table does the work in two stages.
    Pulls the room numbers for rooms matching each rating. (yellow portion of table. If desired, these rows may be hidden.
    Builds a list of these for each condition. (Footer row)
    Formulas (all on Summary)
    Row 1 is a header row, and contains the Rating labels, which must match those used on the Data table.
    B2:   =IF(AND(Data :: $E2=B$1,COUNTIFS(Data :: $E$2:$E2,B$1,Data :: $C$2:$C2,Data :: $C2,Data::$B$2:$B2,Data :: $B2)=1)," "&Data :: $B2&" "&Data :: $C2&" ","")
    Fill right to column F. Fill down to row 16 (as many rows as there are data rows on Data)
    Note the " " at the beginning and end of the 'if true' part: " "&Data :: $B2&" "&Data :: $C2&" "
    There is a single space between each pair of quotation marks. These are necessary to the second formula below.
    Row 17 is a Footer row.
    B17:  
    =IF(COUNTA(B)-COUNTBLANK(B)=0,"",TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(B2,B3,B4,B5,B6,B7,B 8,B9,B10,B11,B12,B13,B14,B15,B16),"  ",",
    There is a return character in the formula immediately before the last quotation mark. Press option-return to enter a return into a formula.
    SUBSTITUTE finds the two spaces added between items in the list and replaces them with a comma followed by the return noted above.
    TRIM is used to remove the single space before the first item in the list and the single space after the last.

  • Parameters To Include Null Or Empty String Values

    I have a table that has both Nulls & Empty Strings that I want to use as a Dynamic Parameter.  Even though there is an indication of the Null/Empty String value when the parameter prompt comes up, selecting the value of Null/Empty String results in no records being returned.  I have a formula to display the values in the report (where I substitute "Unknown" for the Null/Empty String values), but I am not able to do a parameter on that formula.
    I guess in general, this is a situation of needing to be able to use a Dynamic Parameter based on a formula field.
    Thanks for any assistance!  
    Edited by: Dragon77 on Apr 2, 2010 9:39 AM

    I'd use a SQL Command as the data source for the list of values. Something like this... (MS SQL Server)
    SELECT DISTINCT
    CASE WHEN t.StringField IS NULL OR  t.StringField LIKE ''
         THEN 'Unknown' ELSE  t.StringField END AS  StringField
    FROM TableName AS t
    ORDER BY  StringField
    Then use a formula like this in the selection criteria.
    IF {?Parameter} = "Unknown"
    THEN (ISNULL ({TableName.StringField}) OR {TableName.StringField} LIKE "")
    ELSE {TableName.StringField} = {?Parameter}

  • How to get string value from xml in JSF??

    In JSF How to get string value from xml, .ini and properties file. I want to get string value from xml or text to JSF

    Just use the appropriate API's for that. There are enough API's out which can read/parse/write XML, ini and properties files. E.g. JAXP or DOM4J for xml files, INI4J for ini files and Sun's own java.util.Properties for propertiesfiles.
    JSF supports properties files as message bundle and resource bundle so that you can use them for error messages and/or localization.

    Please some one guide me.

    As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

    Again, why?One of the problems (have been dued) in my codelab asks us to write a class as follow
    Write a class definition of a class named 'Value' with the following:
    a constructor accepting a single integer paramter
    a constructor with no parameters
    a method 'setVal' that accepts a single parameter,
    a boolean method, 'wasModified' that returns true if setVal was ever called for the object.
    a method 'getVal' that returns an integer value as follows: if setVal has ever been called, it getVal returns the last value passed to setVal. Otherwise if the "single int parameter" constructor was used to create the object, getVal returns the value passed to that constructor. Otherwise getVal returns 0.
    The setVal(int y) returns nothing, so how do I know whether it has been called or not?

  • Can't assign a string value to a member of type TEXT in Calculation Manager

    I can assign a string value to that member of type TEXT using a run-time prompt of type StringToNumber.
    Example: "My Text Member" = {string_rtp};
    However, I need to accompllish the same function without using a run-time prompts.
    I have a planning application and I know that text along with all other non-numeric
    values are stored on the relational side in the planning application schema.
    It seems reasonable to assume that if this can can accomplish
    with a run-time prompt that I could do also do it without a run-time prompt.
    What appears to be lacking is a function like:
    "My Text Member" = @StringToNumber(<String Literal>);
    Clearly, this is already being done "under the covers" for run-time prompts. If
    would appear to be a minor enhancement to expose such a function to developers.
    NOTE: I suppose you would also need to add new syntax/function to identify a string
    literal from say a member name. I'm wondering if this is the more difficult challenge
    from a product perspective????

    When executing a Calculation Manager rule in Planning, the run-time prompt (RTP) is populated by looking up the outline information present in the relational Planning application database. If the RTP is of type TEXT, the strings displayed in the member select are from the from the relational Planning application database too. Subsequently when executing the Rule, the RTP's value is in fact the record ID (a number) which is then saved into the appropriate intersection in Essbase.
    You need to bear in mind, the Rule is executed in Essbase. If Essbase needs to "write" a text, it would then need to connect to the Planning relational database to create a new record. The newly created record ID then needs to be feed back to Essbase, in order to store it in the appropriate intersection.
    What you are suggesting, comes with a big overhead causing Essbase and the rule to slow. Thus, the disadvantages outweighs the advantages.

  • How to generate a Unique key based on a some String value

    Hello every one,
    I am sorry , If I post this question in wrong group... I have a requirement to generate a unique key ( what every it may be alpha, numeric or alpha numeric) based on some String..
    For ex : String str = "AbCX" - Gives a unique key based on "AbCX" value..
    Is there any way we can get the unique value using Java ?
    Thanks

    May be not what you are looking for, but here's may idea:
    use a sequence (db sequence) and add it the the string value. This way the value is unique, because the sequence is unique. So you could omit the string theoretically, but your requirement is met.
    It's very easy to get a unique sequence number from the db using java, depending of the technology you use (which you did not say :-( )

    Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
    It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
    (or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
    a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
    with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

  • How to align a String value to the right side inside a table column?

    Hi,
    I have a text view inside a table column which is mapped to a string attribute. I need to align the text in the text view to the right hand inside the table column. But its always getting aligned towards the left side. I have tried by setting the <b>hAlign</b> property of Element properties of Text View to <b>right / forced right</b> but still the text is getting aligned to the left side.
    How do I align the String values in Text View towards the right hand side inside a Table Column?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sayan Ghosh

    Hello Sayan,
    if i do get it right, you are adding an TextView element to a Table Cell. Then you should consider setting aligment within the particular cell. By calling:
    YourCell.setHorizontalAlignment(CellHAlign.RIGHT)

  • How to update a string value located on the main VI

    Hello
    I would like, from a subVI, to update a string value located in the main VI (using References). I was trying to find examples on NI web page but it´s impossible to download them (for more than one month : Error, File Not Found), do everyone has got the same problem?
    Thanks for your answer
    Nicolas

    Hi,
    this is from LV help file:
    Complete the following steps to create a subVI that includes a control reference directly from a Property Node.
    1.On the block diagram, right-click the front panel object terminal for which you want a control reference and select Create»Property Node from the shortcut menu to create a Property Node implicitly linked to the object. You can have multiple Property Nodes for multiple front panel objects.
    2.Use the Positioning tool to select the new Property Node and select Edit»Create SubVI from menu. LabVIEW automatically creates a control reference to the control on the block diagram of the main VI, creates a subVI that contains a control refnum wired to a Property Node, and wires the control reference on the main VI to the
    control refnum input terminal of the new subVI.
    Note: Select several Property Nodes at once to create a subVI with multiple control refnums and Property Nodes.
    3.Double-click the subVI to open it. Modify the Property Node and other elements of the subVI as you do in any other VI.
    4. If you want to change values of control then select "Value" property in Property node.
    I've attached the examples.
    Good luck.
