Splitting a string with a delimiter

Hi,
Below are the lines of code in ABAP.
v_gpdwstring(17)             TYPE c,
v_afterdec(3)                TYPE c,
v_beforedec(10)              TYPE c,
SPLIT v_gpdwstring AT '.' INTO v_beforedec v_afterdec.
The test value for v_gpdwstring = "1.53-"
when the above SPLIT command is executed,
v_beforedec is returning blank and v_afterdec is returning 53-
Can anyone tell why v_beforedec is returning blank.
Thanks

Hello Radhika,
When I look at this, it seemed ok.
So I've tested like this:
DATA:
v_gpdwstring(17)             TYPE c,
v_afterdec(3)                TYPE c,
v_beforedec(10)              TYPE c.
break-point.
v_gpdwstring = '1.53-'.
SPLIT v_gpdwstring AT '.' INTO v_beforedec v_afterdec.
And the result was correct: v_beforedec as '1', v_afterdec as '53-'.
Can you re-check please? It seems ok...
Kind regards,
Bruno

How to split a string with a delimiting regular expression like "\r"

Hello!I am a fresh in java programming.Please don't deride my question.What I want to realize is to get the current caret lines and cols in a JTextPane. My question is :After I fetch the string content of the JTextPane and try to split it with the end-line token like "\r" or "\r\n",it always comes me an wrong position.
here is my code:
public void caretUpdate(CaretEvent e) {
int ln,col;
JTextPane textSource = (JTextPane)e.getSource();
String sourceString = textSource.getText();
String subString = sourceString.substring(0,
(e.getDot() == 0) ? 0 : e.getDot()-1);
String[] splitString = subString.split("\r",-1);
ln = splitString.length;
col = e.getDot() - subString.lastIndexOf("\r");
setCaretPosition(ln,col); //display ln and col in a label
I have got puzzled>_<.Please help me.Any help would be appreciated . (^-^)

Swing text components always use "\n" to separate lines, not "\r" or "\r\n". When you read text in from a file or paste from the clipboard, the line separators are converted to "\n" if necessary. They save the info about what line separators were used in the source file, so if you write the text back to a file it converts them back.

How to split a string with linefeed character ( LF ) as a delimiter in VB6?

Hi. I am writing a small program in VB 6.0.
I have a string named Data and it contains few characters along with <LF> in it. ( <LF> is a new line/line feed character).
I want to split this string with <LF> as delimiter and store the tokens in an array. I tried with split function and its giving me type mismatch error. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I am giving the pseudo-code below.
Dim Data as string
Data = "hello, how are you<LS>good morning guys <LS> hi"
Dim strarray() as stringMsgbox(Data)
strarray = split(Data, "<LS>")
When i see the Data in message box before split function, it shows up in different lines like this:
hello, how are you
good morning guys
hi
I want the final array strarray to be like this: strarray(0) = "hello, how are you"
strarray(1) = "good morning guys "
strarray(2) = " hi"
The spaces can be as it is. Just i need the string to be delimited wherever <LS> is there.
Please help me as soon as possible. Though it is small one, i am stuck here.
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

How to split a string with regular expression

Hi.
I need to split a string with a regular expression.
Example
String = "this is; a test";rune haavik;12345;
And I want the output to be:
"this is; a test"
rune haavik
12345
If I use this code:
private void test1()
String str = "\"this is; a test\";rune haavik;12345;";
int i=0;
String[] tmp = str.split(";");
while(i<tmp.length)
System.out.println(tmp);
i++;
Then it splits also in the "" text.
Regards
Rune haavik

Rune haavik:
The most effective way to achieve the end result is, I believe, to read the characters one by one, using a flag that indicates if we are inside quotation or not.
Well, if we are in a mind game, then the following should do.
String[] tmp = str.split(";(?![^\"]*\";)");

How to split a string with a space in between?

Hi ABAP Guru's,
Can you please help me out? How can I split a string into two which has a space in between?
For example: lets suppose the string is 'LA CA USA'. How can I split this string? I have to dynamically determine the number of characters before the space therefore I cannot use number constant such as 2 or 3.
With best regards,
Ketan

Splitting a string with special characters

Alrights, lets say I had a string, which will be defined as "1 + 2 + x". I want to split the string into a string array with " + " as my delimeter. How would I do so?
String blah = "1 + 2 + x";
String blahTwo[] = blah.split(" + ");
System.out.println(blahTwo[0]);this would out put "1 + 2 + x" instead of "1".

The compiler gives an error if the delimeter is called as "+" for the
split method.Javac doesn't care but the RE compiler does. If you want to split a
string around the '+' chacacter use "\\+", i.e. one backslash to keep
Javac silent and the other one to keep the RE from whining.
kind regards,
Jos

Extracting part of a string with a delimiter

Hi. Is there a function that can take the string below, and extract EITHER everything to the left OR the right of the " | " separator? I have many string fields with the same format and need to split them apart. They all contain the same separator but I haven't come across anything that works.
Thanks.
"Communication | 6. Invites feedback, discussion and/or suggestions about his/her own ideas and assumptions"

Hi,
You can use the Split function. This will convert your string to an array with a defined seperator like:
StringVar myString;
myString := "Communication | 6. Invites feedback, discussion and/or suggestions about his/her own ideas and assumptions"
Split (myString, "|") [1];
This will retrieve the first element in the array which is "Communication ".
Good luck,
Brian

Separating data combined in a string with a ";" delimiter

Post Author: debbethune
CA Forum: General
I have a couple fields from my file that contain data separated by a semicolon (AddOn and AddOnChg). Field is formatted as a string. How can I parse out the one component that has a value in order to be able to add up the values in the report?
InvcNum InvcDate AddOn AddOnChg
00113138 5/2/07 IFRTN;;;; 421.93;0;0;0;0

Post Author: SKodidine
CA Forum: General
You can use the split function, however if you want to know which component has a value, you might have to loop through the field. Hopefully there are set number of separators for each field.
For example,
stringvar x := 'IFRTN;;;;'
split(x,';')[1] will give you IFRTN and split(x,';')[2] will give you empty field.

How to split a string in LabView?

Hello everyone,
I'm using the LabView to control a robot named SHRIMP |||. The robot gets commands in hexadecimal format. I need to process info from the command line and therefore I want to split the string of the command line.
In order to make myself clear this is the case: the command (in hex) is 040100 when 04 is the command itself (set velocity and steering angle), 01 is the velocity to set and 00 is the steering angle. When I read it in Labview I see - /04/01/00. I need to separate the velocity and angle from the string so I used the "search/split string" VI but it doesn't seem to help get rid of the "/" delimiter. I can get only the string before the delimiter or the string with the delimiter inside. When I tried to use offset, it seems that the LabView recognize each part of the command as one char in the string ("/04","/01","/00" are the 3 parts of the string) so I can't use it also. I tried to change the display of the string to hexadecimal format but still no luck- I couldn't convert the string to a number.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rap Master

RapMaster,
What you probably want in this case is Scan From String. This takes in an input string, a formatter string similar to the ones used in C (here is a refresher if you are not familiar with printf formatters: http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~saul/parasite/man/man3/printf.3.html), as well as some other parameters that are not as important to this project, and then outputs a number for each field that was represented by a formatter (i.e. %x). Double clicking on the VI brings up a window that will walk you through making the formatters, in case you feel more comfortable that way.
I'm attaching a VI that does exactly what you requested, using Scan From String. To expand the functionality of this VI, just modify the formatter, and more outputs will appear for each formatter.

How to create a String with comma ?

Hi All,
I have a table with 10 records(employee name) and i have to make a string
with comma delimiter and at the end with "."
Can anybody tell me how to write a Java program for this ?
Thanks in advance.

// I believe the following example gives you the answer.
class stringEG {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
     String emprs[] ={"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10"};
     String vempname = "";
     for(int i=0; i<emprs.length; i++) {
     if(i == (emprs.length-1))
          vempname = vempname + emprs[i] + ".";
     else
          vempname = vempname + emprs[i] + ", ";
     System.out.println("vempname : "+vempname);
Here dont assume that I asked you to get all the results and putting
it into the string arrays. But its a simple example to suit your requirement.
The half-way coding below answers your question, I hope.
vempname = "";
while (emprs.next()) {
if(emprs.isLast())
vempname = vempname + emprs.getString("empname") + ".";
else
vempname = vempname + emprs.getString("empname") + ", ";
// nats.

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..

but its throwing null pointer exception.
when i am using following code its working fine.
String str = "Jeetendra/choudhary";

what may be the issue and how to split the string with "." ?
Thanks & Regards

"." is a special character.
Use
str.split("\\.");

How to split a string having string as delimiter instude of char?

Hello Gurus,
I want to split the string and work on each split string.
The following code will do, but not exactly.
It's split into morethan three strings, where coma find.
But I want to split it using #,# as delimiter.
Here is my code:
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.
~ SubbaReddy .M

Hello Guru,
Here "myfile.txt" CSV file.
each line represented treated as a record and coma seperated string is treated as fields.
But, one of the fields data may have the coma in the string itself. So, # or " (double quote) has been place before and end of the field data as a string qualifier.
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
And I would like to run this JRE 1.3.1
Hope, String.split() in JRE 1.4.0 beta will some what resolve this.
But, how to do it on JRE 1.3.1
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.

How to split a string delimitted by vertical bar(|)

Hi
I would like to split a string delimitted by verticl bar using String.split("|") functionality. When I used split functionality for other delimitters like "-" or ":" or ";" it worked perfectly but if I use vertical bar it is splitting all the individual characters in thet string
Is it because verical bar is having some significance in regular expressions
Can some body please shed light on this

joningle wrote:
I've looked in the documentation and I don't understand why two slashes need to precede the vertical bar "|". Can you explain the reason this is the case?
Thanks
Jonfrom my understanding (i just taught myself this stuff in my regex lesson yesterday), the double '\ \' is to escape from the meta-character '|' , (meaning OR) ... just like if you put '\n' into a string, it's considered a newline character, if you want to denote the String "\n" you need "\ \n"
edit: i'm being really slow today...
