Search for a string that contains a '

I am searching for an email address that contains a ' (o'[email protected]). I think I'd use some sort of ESCAPE character around the tic but I can't seem to get this to work. Appreciate the help.
select email_addr from customer
where email_addr = 'o'[email protected]'
That would be the SQL - should this work?
select email_addr from customer
where email_addr = 'o\'[email protected]' ESCAPE ('\'
This is returning a string not properly terminated error
Thanks

    Regular expressinos work just fine, especially when
    searching for patterns. But they seem to be impying
    it's a specific group of characters they're looking
    for, and indexOf() is much faster than a regex.If he's reading from a file, the I/O time will likely swamp any performance hit that regex introduces. I think contains() (or indexOf() if he's not on 5.0 yet) is preferable to regex just because it's simpler. (And in the case of contains(), the name makes for a very clear, direct mapping between your intent and the code that realizes it.)

  • Searching for a string in an excel file and return true if found.

    How can I search for a string in an excel file and return true if found, its location and also a value.

    The problem with searching an excel file is that it contains a header. It would be easiest if you just read the file into a LabVIEW array and search the array. This way you can also get the index and the value of the location.

  • FQL query text to search for exact string

    Hi
    we are using SharePoint 2010 with FAST search...
    I'd like to be able to search for this exact string that contains parentheses...  "(ABC)"
    I thought it would be:
    ManagedProperyName:"(ABC)"
    this returns results with just ABC ... it ignores the parentheses... i need to only show documents with "(ABC)"

    For exact query you can use  equals. For example MPName:equals("<term or phrase>")
    However, in your case the parenthesis is considered a special characters which are stripped off during document processing and at query time.

  • Search for a String within a document (Word, txt, doc) using JSP, JAVA

    Hi
    I have created a little application that uses combination of JSP and HTML. Users of this application can upload documents which are then stored on the server. I need to develop functionality where I can allows users to search for a string within a document. More precisely, user would type in some string in a text box and application will search all uploaded documents for that string and return the downloadable links to those documents that contains that string. I have never done this before. I was wondering if someone could get me started on this or point me to some thread where this idea is already discussed. Any Jave code exists for searching through documents??
    Thanks for your help

  • Is Safari Find function flexible? (Search for inner strings of characters?)

    I'm running 10.6.8 with Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). I see that when you search a web page using the Safari Find function, you can only search for the beginnings of words, not for character strings within the words. Is it possible to expand the Find function's capability to search for inner strings of characters?

    use command F or the edit menus to make the page search box visible - click the magnify/arrow icon at the left side of it - choose "contains" or "starts with".

  • How can I search for a string like a partial IP address in the global search

    When searching for a string like "10.255." the global search finds messages containing "255" or "10" and both.
    This happens no matter whether quotation is used or not.
    When quotation is used it probably will match on the given order as well, but beeing in the timezone '+0100' the string "10" is always found first (in the email headers...).
    Is there a way to tell the global search not to use '.' or any other character as whitespace?

  • Search for a String in a list of files

    Could anyone please send me a java sample code which searches for a string from a list of files and returns me the filename and the line in which the Search String was found ?
    Thanks in advance
    RR

    Simple solution would be -
    1. Traverse a directory for each file.
    2. Read each file using Buffered Reader.
    3. Use readLine() method to read a line.
    4. Use String.indexOf to see if the data which you are looking for is there in the line or not.
    5. If its there then store the line number and file name.
    6. When the loop will end you will have list of file name and line number where the data which you are looking for is present.

  • I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

  • Search for a string in SAP Script

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a way to search for a string in all Z SAP scripts, like ABAP source scan?
    Regards,
    Hari.

    Try using function module "READ_FORM" (you will have to write a simple z-program to find all SAPscripts in your system then use this function module to search the SAPScript Forms for a particular string).
    All you have to do is supply the "FORM" name and it will return all of the Pages, Paragraphs, and Texts etc....
    More specifically, try looping at the "FORM_LINES" internal table result and you will see the SAPScript text there....
    Have fun    !

  • Regex with strings that contain non-latin chars

    I am having difficulty with a regex when testing for words that contain non-latin characters (specifcally Japanese, I haven't tested other scripts).
    My code:
    keyword = StringUtil.trim(keyword);
    //if(keywords.indexOf(keyword) == -1)
    regex = new RegExp("\\b"+keyword+"\\s*;","i");
    if(!regex.test(keywords))
    {Alert.show('"'+keywords+'" does not contain "'+keyword+'"'); keywords += keyword + "; ";}
    Where keyword is
    日本国
    and keywords is
    Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places;
    When the function is run, it will alert that keywords does not contain keyword, even though it does:
    "Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places; " does not contain "日本国"
    Previously I was using indexOf, which doesn't have this problem, but I can't use that since it doesn't match the whole word.
    Is this a problem with my regex, is there a modifier I need to add to enable unicode support or something?
    Thanks

  • Searching for a string within a file

    In control panel \ folder options \ search tab  I've selected "always search file names and conents (this might take several minutes).  and under "how to search" I have checked all 4 boxes.     Yet, when I search a folder
    and all sub-folders for a file containing a string Windows 7 finds nothing.  in XP this worked perfectly.  How do you search like this in Windows 7?   I actually had to write a PowerShell script that does the search for me and I thought Windows
    7 could do this by default but I guess not?!?!?

    Hello mqh7.
    You can use the find command from the Windows 7 command prompt window.
    Open a command prompt window and run find /? to have more informations about the command syntax or read the command documentation available

  • Help to search for a string value and return the index in the arraylist

    Hello,
    I just start java programming for the last three weeks and I cannot find a solution for this problem. I have the following List with string and integer value as shown below:
    List<Empl> list= new ArrayList<Empl>();
         list.add(new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
         list.add(new Empl(3,"Bob", "Howards",2);
         list.add(new Empl(2,"Chris", "Hup",8);
    I have no problem of sorting this arraylist either by firstname or lastname. However, I cannot think of a way to search for a firstname or lastname and returing the whole row. I do not want to use index since I am asking user to enter the name to search. Here is my code to search for an empl based on index.
    System.out.print("Please enter index to search or (q)uit: ");
              String ans = sc.next();
              System.out.println();
              int ians = Integer(ans);
              if (ans.equalsIgnoreCase("q"))
                        choice = "n";
              else
              System.out.println("index " + list.get(ians)); //this will print out the whole row based on the index
    Since the user will never seen the contents of the arraylist, is there a way that I can search by string last/first name and will get the index location in int if the result is met?
    Please advice and thank you.
    Bob.

    Empl e = new Empl(1,"Jim", "Balu",88);
    list.add(e);
    firstNames.add(e.firstName());As long as you always add them in the same order, the indexes will match, so you could do something like
    ians = firstNames.indexOf(nameToFind);to return the index of the name, if it's there (if not, it will return -1).
    I wouldn't recommend this as standard practise, but it should be OK for the level you're at.
    NOTE: indexOf() returns the index of the FIRST matching item. You may want to think about what you want to do if there are more than 1.
