The last character of a string

How to judge the last char of a string is " ?
if (s.endsWith("""))or
if (s.endsWith("/""))

bet
you just copied and pasted what the OP had written
and quickly put that
backslash in, hit post without previewing first just
to make me look like
a slow old sod! It's not fair ;-)
kind regards,
JosNope, I used the Alt-[numeric code] combinations to manually type each character. Cut-n-paste is for wimps, and actually typing single-stroke keys is for milquetoasts.
Alt-[numeric code] is for real men ;-)

How we can find the last character in a string(Urgent Plz!)

Gurus!
How we can find the last character in a string.
e.g i have a string say "Str" with value "10-01".
Now i want to find the last character in "Str" i.e "ONE=1".
i am using Oracle developer 6i with Oracle 8i(1.7).
Plz help!
Many thanks!

Use the substr() and length() functions -
x := '10-01';
y := substr(x, length(x));

Testing the last character of a string using .endsWith

Hi,
I want to check to see if the last character of a string is '@'.
I tried if (StringAt.endsWith("a")) {
but got no results.
Is this the correct way to do it or is there another way.
Thanks.
Adam

javadocs:
String's endsWith method takes a string argument.
endsWith
     public boolean endsWith(String suffix)
          Tests if this string ends with the specified suffix.
          Parameters:
               suffix - the suffix.
          Returns:
               true if the character sequence represented by the argument is a suffix of the character sequence
               represented by this object; false otherwise. Note that the result will be true if the argument is the
               empty string or is equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method.
          Throws:
               NullPointerException - if suffix is null.

Want to single out the last character of a string

There is a field where there are many strings of varying length. E.g.: AB001XUV, AB003XUK, DJ8933FXUV etc.
From these strings I need to create a virtual column where only the last character is shown. So it shall be V, K, V for values from the above example.
Can anyone please suggest me how to achieve this.

Hawker

2 select 'AB001XUV' col from dual

Any easier way to replace the last character of a string?

this is what I got:
select SUBSTR('tjgb005dy_01_31_08',1,LENGTH('tjgb005dy_01_31_08')-1)||'1' from dual;
tjgb005dy_01_31_01and I am not quite fond of it. it looks ugly and it is long.
so, I wonder if you guys have better ideas?
Thanks

(Perhaps with replace there is no easier solution than the primary posted.)Well, look where I ended up...
SQL> -- generating sample data:
SQL> with t as ( select 'tjgb005dy_01_31_08' str from dual union
2              select 'tjgb005dy_01_31_03' from dual union
3              select '888888888888888888' from dual
4            )

6 -- actual query
7 --
8 select str
9 ,      case
10           when substr(str, -1) = 8
11           then
12             substr(str, 1, length(str)-1)||'1'
13           else
14             str
15         end
16 from t;

tjgb005dy_01_31_08 tjgb005dy_01_31_01Now I'm going to stay at the coffee-machine for the rest of the day... ;)

Looking for the last item in a string set in a particular character style

I should find each space that is the last character in a string set in a particular character style. For example, in the passage "123 456 789" (the underlined part here indicating a passage set in a particular character style), my ideal GREP search would yield a match after the digit 6.
How do this?

Excellent! This works perfectly. I have used your string with the bold character formatting, and replaced the matches with [nothing], set in None style.
On second thought, I was surprised that it indeed had worked: why was the space replaced, and not deleted? Shouldn't I have used
(?<!.)(\s)(?=\w)
and replaced it with
$2

Truncating last character in a string

I am making a dialpad. It is just for display so I am using a
string for the numbers selected. I am trying to make a back button
that would clear the last number added. I tried mystring.length-1
but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Is there a simple way
to truncate the last character in a string, of variable
length??

Here's an example
var someStr="asdfasdf saf asdf sadfas dfs fsa asf";
while (someStr.length) {
someStr = someStr.substring(0,someStr.length-1)
trace(someStr);
}

How to remove only the last element of spreadsheet string

I use path to string option to store image path into database and while retrieving the string is again converted into path but it gives out an error as the output of array to spreadsheet string gives out a tab at the end which is unable for the IMAQ read file to recognise.but when i use the path of the image directly into IMAQ readfile the image is opened . so how to remove the tab only at the end of output of the spreadsheet string(whose length can vary)? I have also attached my program with this.

If you just want to remove the last character of a string just use the
String Size function reduce the result by one and wire it together with
the string to the Split String function.

How can i do it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Pradeep,
Just find the String Length and use the offset commands
DATA : DATA TYPE CHAR20 'ABCDEFG',
DATA : DATA1,
DATA : LEN TYPE I.
LEN = STRLEN( DATA ).
LEN = LEN - 1.
DATA1 = DATA+LEN(1).

To delete first and last character of a string???

Hi Everybody !!!
Do you know a method that can permit to delete in a string the first and the last character?
For instance I have in my string this word : [the word]
I would like to delete the '[' and the ']' character.
Is exist a method that permit to delete this character?
Thanks !!!

Look at the substring method of the String class.
Note that since string is immutable, you'll need to assign the results of substring to a variable (could be the same as the original or different).

Select last character of a string

Hello,
I would like to select the last character of an address string. For example, in '165 John Ave W' -- select result 'W'. I tried to use RIGHT but it doesn't work. I'm using SQL Plus.
SELECT RIGHT(ADDRESS,1) FROM addresses;
ORA-00904: "RIGHT": invalid identifier
I can't find the appropriate select statement to achieve the result I want. Ideas?
Thanks!

The SUBSTR function can take a negative start parameter, which counts in from the end of the string
http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/substr.php - that should get you going, let me know if you get stuck.
