Stripping extra white space from a string

I am trying to strip extra spaces from a string, so it there are 2 or more spaces between a word I want to remove all but one. I am trying the following code
getStringTwo().replaceAll("/\s+/is","");
but all I get is an error saying Invalid escape sequence
Thanks

This strips out all the whitespace. I ended up
getting round it by walking through the string and
checking the values of each char and comparing that
to the next value. What a wast of effortt A small modification of my earlier post gives -
public class Test040320a
    public static void main(String[] args)
        String str = "this    is       a \t test";
        str = str.replaceAll("\\s+"," ");
        System.out.println(str);

Flash Builder 4 List controls trimming spaces from XML node values

I'm trying to migrate my Flex 3 application to Flash builder 4. One issue that I have is that one of my datasources returns a list of cities and regions. To get the regions to display in the correct order in Flex 3, a space was added to to their name in the database (ie. "West", "Northwest" are stored in the database as " West" and " Northwest" so that when sorted by the sql query they would appear at the top and gets translated to XML to fill in a list box or combo box in my Flex 3 application. I have functions that take that selected city or region value from the combo box and queries the database for various performance metrics. In migrating to Flash Builder 4, I noticed that the spaces in the region names no longer appear in the combo boxes. When I show the data in a datagrid, the spaces are still there but when populating a combo box or list box, the leading space gets trimmed. This is an issue since if a user selects the value "West", it doesn't find it in the database since it is listed as " West". This wasn't an issue in Flex Buider 3. Is there a work around or parameter that I can set to force the combo box or list box to show the data as-is versus having it trim off the leading spaces for my regions?
Also, a stupid question, in Flex 3, you were able to find the select value of a combo box by using comboBox.text. What is the equivalent in Flash Builder 4? Do I need to do comboBox.selectedItem.Region.toString() now or is there a shortcut to pull the text from the combo box?

I think you want this:
private function onLoadPortfolioData(event:ResultEvent):void
    var obj:XMLList = event.result.img as XMLList;
    if (obj.length > 0)
        _imgCollection = new XMLListCollection(obj);
        pictureList.dataProvider = _imgCollection;

Take out spaces from a string

I got a StringTokenizer:
while ((fullText = in.readLine()) != null) {
    ++line;
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(fullText, "=");
}It take my fullText string "key = value" into "key " and " value", I want to take out those white space, someone?

If you do:while ((fullText = in.readLine()) != null) {
    ++line;
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(fullText, "=");
    String key = tokenizer.nextToken().trim();
    String value = tokenizer.nextToken().trim();
}Only the leading and trailing whitespaces of key and value will be discarded.

Need to trim space from time field

I've got a text box in my report where I am dropping in two times: start time and end time.
{EarlyShiftStart}-{LateShiftEnd}
My problem is if the late shift end is a time less than 10, it adds an extra space between the "-" and the start time.
So instead of:
8:00 AM-3:00PM
it is 8:00 AM- 3:00 PM.
Is there a way to have this extra or padded space removed?
Thanks,

Hi,
What is the data type of your database fields for times?
If those are of type datetime, then you can use cStr(<your database field>, "hh:mm tt"), which will give you the time part as required by you and can try something like this:
cStr(<your database field for early shift time>, "hh:mm tt") & '-' & cStr(<your database field late shift time>, "hh:mm tt")
Thanks,

Have you tried to use Regular Expressions instead of Replace?

Remote white space from string

Hi I need a method which will remove the spaces in a string eg "Hello World" -> "HelloWorld"
I have the code below but it dosnt work for the obvious reason charAt() returns a char and im comparing to a string.
Can anyone offer any help? Thanks
          public void removeSpace(String s)
          {     int rs = s.length();
               String cat;
               for (int i=0;i<rs;i++) {
                    cat = s.charAt(i).toString();
                    if (cat==" ") {

Hi,
You can't modify the contents of a String, you must create a new String, and use that one. Your code should be:
public String removeSpace(String s) {
    return s.replaceAll(" ", "");
}The returned string is the string without spaces.

Error While creating a rule for trimming spaces

Hi All,
Please can you tell me the correct syntax for trimming the Spaces from the beginning of the word.
I tried like this but it is giving error as below:
BEGIN RETURN
ltrim($SPACES_TRIM, '');
END
ERROR: The return statement is expected to return a conditional value: found type<VARCHAR>. (COR-10622)
Please do help me its urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
DJ

Hi Deepak,
when you create validation rules they always have to return TRUE or FALSE conditions. (A record can pass or fail your expression.
So your expression above returns a VARCHAR string, as you can read in the User guide, you are replacing leading nothing '' at the beginning of your string $SPACES_TRIM.
You need to understand basic concept for validation rule expressions and use of functions.
There are lots of great product tutorials here on the SCN, that describe scope, features and functionalities of Information Steward, so you got a understanding of what you can do with IS.

DB adapter - Trim spaces in column

Hi,
We are facing an issue while using DB adapter when retrieving data from a column (VARCHAR2).
Our column contains data like 'XXXX<spaces>XXX<spaces>'. Whenever we retrieve this column using Db adapter (both custom sql and Select option) and we are getting data with spaces trimmed.
For eg- Data is "1234 34456 3444". Db adapter retrieves this as 1234344563444.
We need the data to be retrieved as existing in the column.
Please let us know if anyone has seen this before, any inputs will be appreciated.
Regards,
ARPL

Hi,
I think it's very unlikely DbAdapter would remove spaces from the middle in a string... There's probably another problem associated...
If confirmed open a SR with Oracle Support.
Cheers,
Vlad

What does the trim() method of the String class do in special cases?

Looking here ( String (Java Platform SE 7 ) ), I understand that the trim() method of the String class "returns a copy of the string, with leading and trailing whitespace omitted", but I don't understand what the last special case involving Unicode characters is exactly.
Looking here ( List of Unicode characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ), I see that U+0020 is a space character, and I also see the characters that follow the space character (such as the exclamation mark character).
So, I decided to write a small code sample to try and replicate the behaviour that I quoted (from the API documentation of the trim method) in the multi-line comment of this same code sample. Here is the code sample.:
public class TrimTester {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         * "Otherwise, let k be the index of the first character in the string whose code
         * is greater than '\u0020', and let m be the index of the last character in the
         * string whose code is greater than '\u0020'. A new String object is created,
         * representing the substring of this string that begins with the character at
         * index k and ends with the character at index m-that is, the result of
         * this.substring(k, m+1)."
        String str = "aa!Hello$bb";
        System.out.println(str.trim());
However, what is printed is "aa!Hello$bb" (without the quotes) instead of "!Hello$" (without the quotes).
Any input to help me better understand what is going on would be greatly appreciated!

That's not what I was thinking; I was thinking about the special case where the are characters in the String whose Unicode codes are greater than \u0020.
In other words, I was trying to trigger what the following quote talks about.:
Otherwise, let k be the index of the first character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020', and let m be the index of the last character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020'. A new String object is created, representing the substring of this string that begins with the character at index k and ends with the character at index m-that is, the result of this.substring(k, m+1).
Basically, shouldn't the String returned be the String that is returned by the String class' substring(3,9+1) method (because the '!' and '$' characters have a Unicode code greater than \u0020)?
It seems to not be the case, but why?

Stripping HTML Tags from a String

What's the best way to remove html tags from a string (i.e. user input)?

Can you give an example? You can do substring, if your passing spaces between pages you can do a trim to the variable. Also look at the indexOf(). Look at methods relating to java.lang.String.
