Split a string based on ';'

Hi
I will be getting a string from my JTextArea.
string will be like this
thisIsObject.setFruit(rs.getString("fruitType"));
thisIsObject.setColor(rs.getStrint("color"));
...I want to work on this string line by line. So can i 'token' the string by ';'? and then iterate on the tokens?
thanks

Wouldn't it be better to have your Fruit object do things on your behalf, rather than scraping off a text area?I know it seems odd but i am trying to make iBatis resultMaps out of these statements
so
thisIsClass.setFruit(rs.getString("fruitType"));will be converted to
<resultMap id="something" class="thisIsClass">
<result property="fruit" column="fruitType" />
</resultMap>instead of doing it manually by hand i figured a code can be written which converts it for you..Then use String.split as already mentioned. Note, though, that if you could have a semicolon embedded in the strings, it gets rather icky.
What, the delimiter is now "."? If so, be careful to escape it, regex patterns and all that...dont think I ever wrote '.' If i did i am sorry. He was just making a smartass comment toward me. :-)

Problem while splitting a string based on ' comma '

Hi,
I'm trying to upload a file in .csv format into an internal table. For this i'm declaring an internal table it_iflat and a work area wa_xflat as shown below.
DATA: it_iflat type table of string,
       wa_xflat type string.
Now, once i have data in it_iflat..i loop at each record and split it at the occurance of a comma. as shown below.
DATA: it_irec type table of string with header line.
loop at it_iflat into wa_xflat.
     clear it_irec.
    refresh it_irec.
    split wa_xflat at ',' into table it_irec.
This is working fine when the <b>last column</b> of the excel sheet is populated. But when this field is left blank in the excel sheet..the total number of values that i get in it_irec is one less than the actual.
Is this happening because the last column doesn't have a value and since its after the last comma..its getting neglected?
Could anyone please let me know how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance
Harsha.

If there is a value in the last column, then the value should appear in the last column of your itab.
Maybe try it this way instead.
report zrich_0001.
data: it_iflat type table of string,
      wa_xflat type string.
data: begin of it_irec occurs 0,
      fld1(10) type c,
      fld2(10) type c,
      fld3(10) type c,
      end of it_irec.
clear it_irec.   refresh it_irec.
loop at it_iflat into wa_xflat.
clear it_irec.
split wa_xflat at ',' into it_irec-fld1
                             it_irec-fld2
                             it_irec-fld3.
append it_itrec.
endloop.

Spliting a string based on Non Printable character

Hi,
i have a requirement where i have to split a String based in non printable character " MYU(ascii: 230);
es: ""This is to test æ raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa æ AAA010224544 æ 7118288888 æ
æ is a not printable character and its ascci is 230..
iam getting that string from form how to split it in Java..
Any suggestions...?

One of many ways
    String initString = "This is to test æ raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa æ AAA010224544 æ 7118288888 æ";
    String[] tokens = initString.split(String.valueOf((char)230));
    for (String string : tokens)
      System.out.println(string.trim());
    }

Split a string into multiple internal tables

Hi all,
I need to split a string based internal table into multiple internal tables based on some sub strings in that string based internal table...
High priority help me out...
eg...
a | jhkhjk | kljdskj |lkjdlj |
b | kjhdkjh | kldjkj |
c | jndojkok |
d |
this data which is in the application server file is brought into a internal table as a text. Now i need to send 'a' to one internal table, 'b' to one internal table, so on... help me
<Priority downgraded>

Hi pradeep,
eg...
a | jhkhjk | kljdskj |lkjdlj |
b | kjhdkjh | kldjkj |
c | jndojkok |
d |
As per your statement "Now i need to send 'a' to one internal table, 'b' to one internal table"
Do you want only a to one internal table and b to one internal table
OR
Do you want the whole row of the internal table i mean
a | jhkhjk | kljdskj |lkjdlj | to 1 internal table
Having the case of an internal table which is of type string,
1) Loop through the internal table.    LOOP AT lt_tab INTO lwa_tab.
2) Ge the work area contents and get the first char wa_tab-string+0(1)
3)   FIELD-SYMBOLS: <t_itab> TYPE ANY TABLE.
w_tabname = p_table.
CREATE DATA w_dref TYPE TABLE OF (w_tabname).
ASSIGN w_dref->* TO <t_itab>.
Follow the link
http://www.sap-img.com/ab030.htm
http://www.sapdev.co.uk/tips/dynamic-structure.htm
and then based on the sy-tabix values you will get that many number of internal table
       <FS> = wa_tab-string+0(1)
      append <FS>
OR
USE SPLIT statement at the relevant seperator
revert for further clarification
Thanks

How to split string based on either space or tab delimitation?

I'm trying to split a string into 4 fields. The strings sometimes have space delimitation and sometimes have tab delimitation. Is there any way to do this in a SELECT, or do I need a couple staging tables, or what?
I'm trying to work with this.
Select PARSENAME(replace(replace(replace(replace([Column 0],' ','<>'),'><',''),'char(9)',' '),' ','.'),4) Date,
PARSENAME(replace(replace(replace(replace([Column 0],' ','<>'),'><',''),'char(9)',' '),' ','.'),3) ID,
PARSENAME(replace(replace(replace(replace([Column 0],' ','<>'),'><',''),'char(9)',' '),' ','.'),2) Rank1,
PARSENAME(replace(replace(replace(replace([Column 0],' ','<>'),'><',''),'char(9)',' '),' ','.'),1) Rank2
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

This is similar thread that someone posted a week ago
Split delimited string into separate columns
based on space
My solution was, using a user defined function to split the text:
Use Master
Go
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_SplitString(@InputVal VARCHAR(200), @Delimiter CHAR(1))
RETURNS @Items TABLE (RowNo TINYINT, ITEM VARCHAR(100))
As
BEGIN
DECLARE @FieldLen TINYINT = 0, @FieldEnum TINYINT = 0, @TempItem VARCHAR(100) = '', @ItemLoop TINYINT = 1
SET @FieldLen = LEN(@InputVal)
WHILE @FieldEnum <= @FieldLen
BEGIN
IF (SUBSTRING(@InputVal, @FieldEnum + 1, 1) = @Delimiter OR @FieldEnum = @FieldLen) AND @TempItem <> ''
BEGIN
INSERT @Items (RowNo, Item)
VALUES (@ItemLoop, LTRIM(RTRIM(@TempItem)))
SET @TempItem = ''
SET @ItemLoop += 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF SUBSTRING(@InputVal, @FieldEnum + 1, 1) <> @Delimiter
BEGIN
SET @TempItem = @TempItem + SUBSTRING(@InputVal, @FieldEnum + 1, 1)
END
END
SET @FieldEnum += 1
END
RETURN
END
Next, use the splited data to group based on requirements
DECLARE @AllData TABLE
[Column 0] VARCHAR(50)
INSERT INTO @AllData
VALUES('20150101 04559690 45 33')
INSERT INTO @AllData
VALUES('20150101 045595320 42 48')
INSERT INTO @AllData
VALUES('20150101 041198690 44 34')
INSERT INTO @AllData
VALUES('20150101 0455222130 41 49')
INSERT INTO @AllData
VALUES('20150101 554567450 40 51')
;WITH CTE
AS
SELECT
,Row_Number() OVER(PARTITION BY MainQry.[Column 0] ORDER BY MainQry.[Column 0]) As RowNo
FROM
@AllData As mainQry
CROSS APPLY (SELECT Item FROM Master.dbo.udf_SplitString(REPLACE(MainQry.[Column 0], CHAR(9), ' '), ' ')) As SubQry
SELECT
[Column 0]
,MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo = 1 THEN Item ELSE '' END) AS [DATE]
,MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo = 2 THEN Item ELSE '' END) AS [ID]
,MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo = 3 THEN Item ELSE '' END) AS [Rank1]
,MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo = 4 THEN Item ELSE '' END) AS [Rank2]
FROM
CTE
GROUP BY
[Column 0]
Output

Split string based on number of characters

Hi,
I have a simple map where I receive a Streetname out of the source and have to write that streetname to the Address1 element in the destination. The issue is that the destination Address1 element can only contain 100 characters.
If it has more then 100 characters then I have to split the string into the Address2 element.
The next question is how I can do it the good way so that the string would be split between spaces and not in the middle of a word. For example:
Streetname1 Streetname2 Streetname3 Streetname4 Streetname5 Streetname6 Streetname7 Streetname8 Streetname9
The hundredth character is between t and r in Streetname9. So the cleanest solution would be to place everything in address1 and Streetname9 in address 2.
How can I achieve this?

I had faced a similar situation in which output element could only contain 100 characters after that i had to split rest of characters in batch of 100 characters and repeated the element.
This was achieved by implementing recursion through XSLT. For this I created a template which will return a substring a generate an element with that element. This template will take two parameters-1) Complete string 2) Length (100 in your case).
check the below article for a sample

OR ('|') in regular expressions (e.g. split a String into lines)

Which match gets used when you use OR ('|') to specify multiple possible matches in a regex, and there are multiple matches among the supplied patterns? The first one (in the order written) which matches? Or the one which matches the most characters?
To make this concrete, suppose that you want to split a String into lines, where the line delimiters are the same as the [line terminators used by Java regex|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#lt] :
     A newline (line feed) character ('\n'),
     A carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline character ("\r\n"),
     A standalone carriage-return character ('\r'),
     A next-line character ('\u0085'),
     A line-separator character ('\u2028'), or
     A paragraph-separator character ('\u2029)
This problem has [been considered before|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=4&threadID=464846] .
If we ignore the idiotic microsoft two char \r\n sequence, then no problem; the Java code would be:
String[] lines = s.split("[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]");How do we add support for \r\n? If we try
String[] lines = s.split("[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]|\\r\\n");which pattern of the compound (OR) regex gets used if both match? The
[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]or the
\\r\\n?
For instance, if the above code is called when
s = "a\r\nb";and if the first pattern
[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]is used for the match when the \r is encountered, then the tokens will be
"a", "", "b"
because there is an empty String between the \r and following \n. On the other hand, if the rule is use the pattern which matches the most characters, then the
\\r\\n
pattern will match that entire \r\n and the tokens will be
"a", "b"
which is what you want.
On my particular box, using jdk 1.6.0_17, if I run this code
String s = "a\r\nb";
String[] lines = s.split("[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]|\\r\\n");
System.out.print(lines.length + " lines: ");
for (String line : lines) System.out.print(" \"" + line + "\"");
System.out.println();
if (true) return;the answer that I get is
3 lines: "a" "" "b"So it seems like the first listed pattern is used, if it matches.
Therefore, to get the desired behavior, it seems like I should use
"\\r\\n|[\\n\\r\\u0085\\u2028\\u2029]"instead as the pattern, since that will ensure that the 2 char sequence is first tried for matches. Indeed, if change the above code to use this pattern, it generates the desired output
2 lines: "a" "b"But what has me worried is that I cannot find any documentation concerning this "first pattern of an OR" rule. This means that maybe the Java regex engine could change in the future, which is worrisome.
The only bulletproof way that I know of to do line splitting is the complicated regex
"(?:(?<=\\r)\\n)" + "|" + "(?:\\r(?!\\n))" + "|" + "(?:\\r\\n)" + "|" + "\\u0085" + "|" + "\\u2028" + "|" + "\\u2029"Here, I use negative lookbehind and lookahead in the first two patterns to guarantee that they never match on the end or start of a \r\n, but only on isolated \n and \r chars. Thus, no matter which order the patterns above are applied by the regex engine, it will work correctly. I also used non-capturing groups
(?:X)
to avoid memory wastage (since I am only interested in grouping, and not capturing).
Is the above complicated regex the only reliable way to do line splitting?

The longest match wins, normally. Except for alternation (or) as can be read from the innocent sentence
The Pattern engine performs traditional NFA-based matching with ordered alternation as occurs in Perl 5.

i'm having some 80 columns in my table how to do for 80 columns Will data inserted into all 80 columns ?
Will there any change in order of insertion i.e. suppose data will be in col1,col2,col10,col11,col15,col23,col45,col80,col14,col68,col5... ?
How you will calculate the number of columns in which that number string is going to inserted ?
If there are fix 80 columns then rather than writing block of code for 80 times, you can use varray type variable and then proceed ahead. Since, in the above code, I have not handled exception(s), so exception handling will be another part of code to make it smooth.
Between, at the moment, I am not getting why there is error which is in the end :

How to extract substring from a string based on the condition ??

Hi,
I'm having a very large string which as below
EQD+CN+SAMPLE18767+2200+++5'
NAD+CA+FIR:172:20'
DGS+IMD+3.2+2346+55:CEL'
FTX+AAA+++GOOD'

NAD+CA+TIR:172:20'
DGS+IMD+3.2+2346+55:CEL'
FTX+AAA+++SECOND'
FTX+AAA+++IS FAIR'
similarly FTX+AAA as above and it goes on
i tokenized each segment with delimiter as ' and able to read each segment.
Now i want to concatenate the FTX+AAA in a single segment if more than one FTX+AAA with IMMEDIATE below
The output is as follows
EQD+CN+SAMPLE18767+2200+++5'
NAD+CA+FIR:172:20'
DGS+IMD+3.2+2346+55:CEL'
FTX+AAA+++GOOD,ONE'

NAD+CA+TIR:172:20'
DGS+IMD+3.2+2346+55:CEL'
FTX+AAA+++SECOND,IS FAIR'
similarly FTX+AAA should be concatenated if it has similar FTX+AAA IMMEDIATE below.
The FTX+AAA segments can come any number of times immediate below
Please help me how we can do this??? Can anyone help me with the code snippet to do this?
Thanks,
Kathir

Mapping issue: Split a string to multiple strings in an idoc

Hi,
I need to split a string with an undefined length into strings of 132 chars. The problem is, how to map from the source field to the target field,
which belong to an idoc segment. The segment has the occurence 1 to unbounded, and the field 0 to 1. Simplifying, i need to map one source field split it in 132
chars block and put the resultant blocks into an idoc field (maxLength = 132).
IDoc
Segment X
Segment (occurence 1..unbounded)
Field X
Source field SourceA (undefined length)----->-----Field TargetA (occurence 0..1) (maxLength = 132)
Segment Y

Ok...here is one way of achiving what u want - hope ur comfortable with working with context mapping...
Raise the context of ur source field one level higher and write a UDF funtionto do this -
Declare an array list
Read the source string and append it to the arraylist.
Then when u map ur target IDOC text...read from this array list and created ...By maintaining the context...there will be as many segments in the idocas there are in the arraylist..

How to split a string using IndexOf?

How would you split a string using indexOf and not using the .split method?
Any help is appreciated :D
Message was edited by:
billiejoe

would it be better to use the first or the second?
int indexOf(int ch)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character.
int indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.
I think the second would be helpful. so how do i read it?

How to split the IDOCS based on document number change whit out BPM

Hi all,
Thanks,for giving the responce..
Scenario:File to IDoc.
Problum1 : How to Split the IDocs based on document number change in the source file with out BPM.My file contains document numbers like
20000092
20000092
20000092
50000050
50000050
50000065
I want 3 IDocs in target system.i.e 1 for 20000092,20000092,20000092
2 for 50000050,50000050
3 for 5000006
By using external definations i am getting 6 IDOCs insted of 3.
Problum 2:Is there any chnges/modifications in Directory when we are using external definations.
Could u plz provide me the step by step process(Repository/Directory) with using of external definations.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
KP

HI,
for this no need of BPM.
You can think of Idoc bundling concept to acheive this-just you need to do the external definition to change the idoc occurence
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
to achieve for each document no, one idoc, you can write small user defined function in the mapping with context handling you an achieve this.
For this e.g

How to Split the string using Substr and instr using loop condition

Hi every body,
I have below requirement.
I need to split the string and append with single quotes('') followed by , (comma) and reassign entire values into another variable. so that i can use it where clause of update statement
for example I am reciveing value as follows
ALN varchar2(2000):=(12ERE-3MT-4Y,4IT-5O-SD,OP-K5-456,P04-SFS9-098,90P-SSF-334,3434-KJ4-O28,AS3-SFS0-J33,989-3KL-3434);
Note: In the above variable i see 8 transactions, where as in real scenario i donot how many transaction i may recive.
after modification i need above transactions should in below format
ALTR Varchar2(2000):=('12ERE-3MT-4Y','4IT-5O-SD','OP-K5-456','P04-SFS9-098','90P-SSF-334','3434-KJ4-O28','AS3-SFS0-J33','989-3KL-3434');
kindly help how to use substr and instr in normal loop or for loop or while loop while modifying the above transactions.
Please help me to sort out this issue.
Many Thanks.

Try this - may not be the best way but...:
create or replace type myTableType as table of varchar2(255)
declare
v_array mytabletype;
v_new_str varchar2(4000);
function str2tbl
         (p_str   in varchar2,
          p_delim in varchar2 default '.')
         return      myTableType
    as
        l_str        long default p_str || p_delim;
         l_n        number;
         l_data     myTableType := myTabletype();
    begin
        loop
            l_n := instr( l_str, p_delim );
            exit when (nvl(l_n,0) = 0);
            l_data.extend;
            l_data( l_data.count ) := ltrim(rtrim(substr(l_str,1,l_n-1)));
            l_str := substr( l_str, l_n+length(p_delim) );
        end loop;
        return l_data;
   end;
begin
v_array := str2tbl ('12ERE-3MT-4Y,4IT-5O-SD,OP-K5-456,P04-SFS9-098,90P-SSF-334,3434-KJ4-O28,AS3-SFS0-J33,989-3KL-3434', ',');
      FOR i IN 1 .. v_array.COUNT LOOP
         v_new_str := v_new_str || ''''||v_array(i)||'''' || ',';
      END LOOP;
   dbms_output.put_line(RTRIM(v_new_str, ','));
end;
OUTPUT:
=======
'12ERE-3MT-4Y','4IT-5O-SD','OP-K5-456','P04-SFS9-098','90P-SSF-334','3434-KJ4-O28','AS3-SFS0-J33','989-3KL-3434'HTH

Splitting a file based on the payload field - multimapping

HI Everyone,
I have a requirement of splitting a file based on the field .
e.g When I am a file as :
row1 David    US
row2 Cindra   US
row3   Peeru   CA
row4   Jay       CA
Then, I have to split the file into two files, one file with the US rows and another file with the CA rows.
There can be many countries in the input file, so number of target files need to be generated is not fixed.
I have gone through the below links :
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible   ( in the blog we know that there are two receivers but in my case I dont know that )
https://bond.newellco.com/irj/scn/,DanaInfo=www.sdn.sap.com,SSL+thread?messageID=6449801#6449801
( Everyone is providing JAVA mapping as a solution....)
Is Java mapping the only option to resolve the problem case I have ?
Thx
PEERU IN

Hi Peeru,
I don't have access to the any FTP or file server of XI to check the file adapter as i am travelling right now(I am 100% sure that the file adapter splitting will work as i have done this for one of my requirement).
Coming to your requirement:
I wrote an java map which will read the XML file and create the multiple recordset based on number of different country exists in the file, then i am printing the final structure in an multi mapping layout (please see the attached input file Country.xml and out put file which the java map generated Final.XML) if we do this i think the file adapter will create the different files based on the number of recordset we have as you can see the output file is generated with the 3 recordset (<Country>) tag each country tag has its own records, now if i give the filename in variable substuition pointing to region then i think i should get 3 files with names
us.xml
us01.xml
us02.xml
i think by using the multi mapping i can generate 3 files and by using the variable substution i can give the 3 different names from the payload of each file and also can add the timestamp for each of the file, again i didn't have access to the file adapter in the project i am working on so i couldn't verify in XI server, but if you still looking for solution then let me know i will give the map details.
