String to Numeric

Is there any direct method to extract numeric values from an alphanumeric string and assign to an integer?
Thanks

What do you mean by "alpha-numeric" string? That suggests that there are non-numeric characters in there as well. How you extract the numbers depends on the form of the string and the stability of that form amongst all possible Strings that will need 'extraction".

  • Binary String to numerical binary array

    Hello,
    I initially created binary strings from numerical numbers using the
    "%03b" command on the 'Format into String' block. I then concatenated
    the various strings into one string that is now composed of 16bits.
    However, I need to convert this string that I created back to a binary
    numerical array for further processing.
    Can you help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Rajesh.

    In general, you are out of luck, because the number of characters for each value when formatted to binary with "%03b", will be variable. Any number greater than 7 will use more than 3 digits. (since you use "03" instead of 3", smaller numbers will have three digits with possible leading zeroes for padding).
    After you concatenated all the formatted strings, you loose all boundary information unless ALL numbers are less than 8, but in this case they result would be a multiple of 3 and would not add up to 16 bits, right?
    My best suggestion would be to NOT create a binary formatted string in this way, because it is a one-way operation and cannot be undone because you loose information in the process.
    Back to square one!
    Maybe we can backup a few steps and you can explain to us what you really want to do with your original numbers. Why would you even consider formatting them this way? Do you need to save them to a file for later retrieval, for example?

  • MDX - function expects a string or numeric expression for the 1 argument. A tuple set expression was used.

    why this query
    select [Measures].[F Events Count] on 0,
    Filter([D Actor Player].[Actor].children,
    ([Measures].[F Events Count],
    {([D Date].[Hierarchy].[Season].[2012 - 2013]),([D Date].[Hierarchy].[Season].[2013 - 2014])},
    [D Result].[Result].&[Goal])
    >=5) on 1
    from [FBA Cube]
    gives this error:
    Query (3, 3) The >= function expects a string or numeric expression for the 1 argument. A tuple set expression was used.
    while the following query works fine
    select [Measures].[F Events Count] on 0,
    Filter([D Actor Player].[Actor].children,
    ([Measures].[F Events Count],
    [D Date].[Hierarchy].[Season].[2012 - 2013],
    [D Result].[Result].&[Goal])
    >=5) on 1
    from [FBA Cube]
    why having set inside Filter's boolean expression generates that error? how can we
    keep the set inside the Filter's boolean expression but
    solve the problem? please explain the reason and solution

    Hi Butmah ,
    I think you should use an aggregation function with the set and the tuple ... adding an AdventureWorks snippet :
    select [Measures].[Order Count] on 0,
    Filter([Product].[Category].children,
    SUM({[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[2011],[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[2009]}
    ,([Measures].[Order Count],[Geography].[Geography].[Country].&[United States])
    >=5) on 1 
    from [Adventure Works]

  • How to know if the given value is string or numeric

    I need to know the given input value is a numeric or not in the transaction. I tried the following:
    stringif( localnumber(Transaction.INPUT) == "NA",Transaction.INPUT, stringright( ("000000000000000000"&localnumber(Transaction.INPUT)), 18 )
    But in the above case, when INPUT value is "123s" (if the first character is numeric), it returns "123", not "NA".
    Is there any other way to handle this?
    Thanks,
    Sara

  • Simple Java Question - How to test if a given string is numeric or not

    Hi Experts,
    I have written one Java program. It fetches user ID from UME. The code is as below:
    Iterator itr = role.getUserMembers(true);
    while (itr.hasNext()) {
    String uniqId = (String) itr.next();
    IUser thisUser = myUserFactory.getUser(uniqId);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("here "+thisUser.getUid() );
    Used ID is thisUser.getUid() . I have to find out all user IDs which are numeric.
    Do we have any standard Java program (API) to find out whether thisUser.getUid()  is numeric or not.
    Regards,
    Gary

  • How can you determine if a character in a string is numeric or alphabetic?

    Hello all,
    I've been trying this one for awhile now, and can't find any way to do it.
    I am reading a character string out of a text file. The string is a number. I need to convert that number to it's decimal equivalent -- this is not a problem, I can do this easily.
    The problem comes in when I'm reading the string from the text file. I want to be able to be sure that they didn't have a typo and insert an alphabetic character into the number. For example, typing 50o instead of 500. If I convert this example, I will read 50. I want it to flag an error instead, but I cannot figure out how to read the string and determine if there are alphabetic and numeric characters in the string I'm
    reading.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can also use the "Scan from String" function. If the "remaining string" output is not a null string, or the error output is reporting an error, something went wrong with the conversion.

  • How to check the value of a string is numeric, alphanumeric or characters?

    Hi All,
    I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.

    Hi Bibhuprasad,
    I have a task to validate an employee Id. Suppose the employee Id is
    E121212. Now as per the validation rule I need to check "the first letter
    of the employee Id is a character and rest are numbers." How can I do this? Please reply.Everyone else has proposed REGEXP_LIKE, and while it's very powerful, it is
    also very CPU intensive. You should always use Oracle's string functions
    instead of Regular Expressions if possible.
    I played around with
    WITH data
         AS (SELECT 'E11212' s FROM DUAL
             UNION ALL
             SELECT '121212' FROM DUAL
             UNION ALL
             SELECT 'EE121212' FROM DUAL
             UNION ALL
             SELECT 'É121212' FROM DUAL
             UNION ALL
             SELECT 'E1EEEEEEEE' FROM DUAL
             UNION ALL
             SELECT 'E134343444' FROM DUAL)
    SELECT s,
      CASE
        WHEN (SUBSTR(s, 1, 1) BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Z') -- AND (TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)), 999999) > 111111)
          THEN 'Correct Format'
        ELSE
          'Incorrect Format'
        END mySSN,
        SUBSTR(s, 2, LENGTH(s)) AS theNumber
    FROM data;I think that this can be worked so that it willl go what you require without using
    REGEXP_LIKE.

  • Select from table where last character in string is numeric

    Hello,
    I have a table STREETS with a field called ADDRESS. I would like to select all records from streets where the last character in Address is a number.
    Select ADDRESS from STREETS where regexp_like(substr(address, ?,?,), '[0-9]');
    --? means that I don't know what to put in here!
    I'm not sure if substr is the best approach for this, since i only want the last character and the records are of varying lengths.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    If you want to use regular expressions:
    WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( address
                  , '[0-9]$'
                  )You can get the same results, probably more efficiently, without regular expressions:
    WHERE     INSTR ( '0123456789'
               , SUBSTR (address, -1)
               )     > 0

  • Find a string between numeric in a column using SQL Query

    Hi need help with the query in SQL. let say i have a column that has 2000 data.. i just need to show the data that has A  at the strating of the data. For example:

    W23456
    A234444
    I just need to show all the data got "A" at the start.
    Thank u

    I don't think there is any standard command, so you will need to search for the pattern matching commands of your DBMS.
    In SQL Server the keyword is "like", so your query would be Select col1 from tbl1 where col1 like 'A%'

  • Problem in sorting numeric string

    hii
    i have created one method using comparator and passed a list with list of strings as argument to sort method of Collections class.The string ,which is combined a string and numeric value for example A1,A2,A11,A3 .....So i wanted the result as A1,A2,A3..A11,A12... and so on as final output.but when i print the output ,they are sorted as A1,A11,A12....A2,A3....so i learned from javadoc why those are sorted as like since comparator is using charAt() method while making override compare() method.but i am not expected this sorting for my application. i need sorting output as A1,A2,A3...A11,A12.....How to compare a string with another string both have combination of string and number using java?
    if any one know the logic reply me.
    i have pasted my code,if any changes have to be made only in this code,correct the code.
    package sample.sorting;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Collections;
    import java.util.Comparator;
    import java.util.List;
    public class SortString {
         public static List<String> sort(List<String> data) {
              Collections.sort(data,new Comparator<String>(){
                   public int compare(String s1,String s2) {
                        return s1.compareTo(s2)     ;
              return data;
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              List<String> sortList     = new ArrayList<String>();
              sortList.add("A1");
              sortList.add("A3");
              sortList.add("A2");
              sortList.add("A9");
              sortList.add("A11");
              sortList.add("A6");
              List<String> sort = sort(sortList);
              for(String str : sort) {
                   System.out.println("STR :: "+str); // O/P : A1,A11,A2,A3,A6... but expected O/P : A1,A2,A3..A11.

    In the compare method of the comparator, check if two Strings have equal length, if so compare them as normal, otherwise treat them as a separate case.
    e.g. uncompiled return s1.length == s2.length ? s1.compareTo(s2) : if(s1.length < s2.length) -1 else 1;Mel

  • Index as varchar or numeric

    Hi:
    I'm using a field that contains only digits (0..9) and will use this field as a primary key. Does it make any difference if the field is a varchar or a numeric? I do not plan on performing any mathematical operations on the field's value, so it would be easier to store & retrieve as a varchar. But is it quicker to assess a row based on a primary key which is numeric or varchar?
    Thanks.
    - Rolf.

    You would, potentially, have to call TO_CHAR on the number when you wrote it out, but I would tend to just rely on implicit conversion there. Depending on how you are reading the XML response, you can probably get a numeric value back without doing any conversion.
    I would have two primary functional considerations here
    1) Is this a key that any human will ever use? If you are generating an invoice number, for example, someone may want to look up that invoice using the invoice number even though invoice number doesn't have any business meaning. Do the users think of this string in numeric terms? Or as a string? For example, do the users see value 1 as the same as 000001? Or would they prefer to always enter the "right" number of characters.
    2) Data integrity- if non-numeric characters would be incorrect, the field should be a number. Otherwise, someone will end up writing alphabetical characters to the field.
    Both of these would tend toward using NUMBER columns, unless users were really attached to the idea that it isn't invoice #1, it is invoice "000000001".
    As secondary factors, numbers are more compact than strings, so performance is likely to be marginally better with numers rather than strings. By the same token, the table and index(es) are likely to cnosume less disk space when you use numbers. Performance here, though, should be a secondary consideration to functionality.

  • Returning strings from OLE2 Word object (Forms 4.5)

    Below is an example of how to return string and numeric values from OLE2 objects. In this example the OLE2 object is a MS Word document, and I want to fetch all the bookmarks in the Document into a Forms 4.5 Varchar2. To do this I first need to get the count of bookmarks.
    Getting a string property from an OLE2 object is a common OLE2 requirement but is poorly documented. This is the ONLY way it can be done, as OLE2.INVOKE_CHAR returns a single character not a string. Use OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ, then OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY which does return a string, as shown below, to return a string from an OLE object (or OLE property).
    Also note how you can only get the child object from its parent, not the grandchild (etc) object, so multiple (cascading) GET_OBJ_PROPERTY calls are required.
    /* by: Marcus Anderson (Anderson Digital) (MarcusAnderson.info) */
    /* name: Get_Bookmarks */
    /* desc: Returns a double quoted CSV string containing the document*/
    /* bookmarks. CSV string will always contain a trailing comma*/
    /* EG: "Bookmark1","Bookmark2",Bookmark3",Bookmark4", */
    /*               NB: This requires that Bookmarks cannot contain " chr */
    PROCEDURE Get_Bookmarks (pout_text OUT VARCHAR2)

    v_Bookmarks := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY (v_ActiveDoc , 'Bookmarks');
    v_num := OLE2.GET_NUM_PROPERTY (v_Bookmarks, 'Count'); -- NB: Returns numeric property

    v_Item := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ (v_Bookmarks, 'Item', v_arglist); -- NB: returns parent object (array element)

  • ABAP-based web service returns numeric values with leading zeros

    Hi SOA experts,
    I have created a web service out of an ABAP function module. Beside other values, this service returns a list of document numbers. All of these numeric values are returned by the web service with leading zeros, but we do want these values w/o leading zeros.
    Any ideas how I can tell the web service to not print any leading zeros?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Kind regards, Matthias
    PS: The according function module does not print any leading zeros for the numeric values

    hi,
    just a guess: I'd try to use I instead of NUMC for the document numbers.
    NUMC is no number but a character string with numeric characters only. only some display routines in SAP know that this string of numerals represents a number and omit leading zeroes.
    my 2 cents,
