Trimming comma from string

Hi all,
I have a requirement of storing a string (containing commas) into an integer database field (without commas).
Source Datatype: String
Source Data example1: 2,000,765
Source Data Example2: 1,000
Destination Database column datatype: Number
Destination Data should look like: 2000765 (for example1) and 1000 (for example2)
I need to remove the commas from the incoming string and need to store it in Database column. Above I have mentioned just an example.
I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 version.
Please help me out in this.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hi all,
I have resolved this issue by using Translate function and then converting it to number in Transformation.

How to remove the comma from string

Hi,
I Have string like below :

can somebody in the forum give me idea how to remove comma from the String and
have a string without comma.
Thanks
Jack

int idx = oldString.indexOf(',');
if(idx >= 0)
newString = oldString.substring(0, idx) + oldString.substring(idx + 1);or for jdk 1.4 and later
str = str.replaceAll(",", "");

Is trim(both from string) is the same as trim(string)...

trim(both from string) is the same as trim(string)...
like in
SELECT trim(both from STRING_COLUMN) "A" , trim(STRING_COLUMN) "B" from TEXT_TABLE
will "A" and "B" will be same
I know this was asked in previous threads , but wanted clarify ..Thanks in advance

Yes, they are the same

Removing comma (,) from string

Hello Friends,
I have a string something of this nature
Sting : ',3456,45454,,45454,'
Need to have just comma seperated value : '3456,45454,45454'
Tried with replace but getting - '34564545445454'
select replace ( ltrim(RTRIM(replace(',3456,45454,,45454,', ',,', ','),',')),',', '') from dual;
Appreciate your help .

If so:
LTRIM (string, ',')LTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>L</b>eft side (that is, the beginning) of string. That's all you want here. (Was your string generated by SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH? This is a very common problem.)
RTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>R</b>ight side (that is, the end) of string. I don't think you want that; you certainly don;'t need it in the example you gave.
REPLACE removes the given characters anywhere in the string. You definitely don't want that. If you did, there would be no point in also using LTRIM or RTRIM.

Natty! But completely illogical (I mean creating an XMLTABLE from a non-XML string). I'm guessing that's a development of XQuery?

MODEL clause to process a comma separated string

Hi,
I'm trying to parse a comma separated string using SQL so that it will return the parsed values as rows;
eg. 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL' would return 3 rows;
'ABC'
'DEF GHI'
'JKL'
I'm thinking that I could possibily use the MODEL clause combined with REGULAR expressions to solve this as I've already got a bit of SQL which does the opposite ie. turning the rows into 1 comma separated string;
select id, substr( concat_string, 2 ) as string
from (select 1 id, 'ABC' string from dual union all select 1, 'DEF GHI' from dual union all select 1, 'JKL' from dual)
model
return updated rows
partition by ( id )
dimension by ( row_number() over (partition by id order by string) as position )
measures ( cast(string as varchar2(4000) ) as concat_string )
rules
upsert
iterate( 1000 )
until ( presentv(concat_string[iteration_number+2],1,0) = 0 )
( concat_string[0] = concat_string[0] || ',' || concat_string[iteration_number+1] )
order by id;
Can anyone give me some pointers how to parse the comma separated string using regexp and create as many rows as needed using the MODEL clause?

Yes, you could do it without using ITERATE, but FOR ... INCREMENT is pretty much same loop. Couple of improvements:
a) there is no need for CHAINE measure
b) there is no need for CASE in RULES clause
c) NVL can be applies on measures level
with t as (select 1 id, 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF,GHI,JKL' string from dual

Scan from string error 85

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to use LabView to
process some data.  The data, although it was collected via labview,
has been written out to csv file format.  I have been able to
successfully open the file and use the search split string function to
remove the "header" from the data stream.  Now I'm trying to parse the
header to extract some pieces of the info that is there.  I'm trying to
do this with the Scan from String VI.
So
far I've been able to retrieve the Specimen ID from the first line of
the header by setting the format string input of Scan from String as
"Specimen ID ,%s", which works just fine.  Problem is, when I
adjust
the format string to include the next piece of data I want, I
inevitably get an Error 85, which is a failed scan. In fact, I
get an err85 every time I try to extract something from after the
second line. I've attached a VI in which I cut and pasted an
example header string in as a string constant and an example of how I'm
trying to extract the values. I've tried playing around with
spaces and different formats, but get the err85 no matter what I do
(unless I extract the first line). I have a hunch that it has
something to do with the EOL marker, but no idea how to work around it.
A search of posts here show that a lot of people have issues with the
scan from string vi, but nobody I could find had this exact
problem. I've also considered using the spreadsheet spring to
array function, but because I have a mix of commas and EOLs it doesn't
seem to work either. HELP! I really don't want to have to write this
over in VBA/Excel.
Thanks,
Turk

You should probably parse it line by line (See attached, LabVIEW 7.1)..
The attached example shows one possibility to get all the Items and values out. Not all values are strictly numeric so you would need to adapt the code a little bit. (This is just a very rough 1 minute draft).
You might want to cosider to extract all values into a cluster for further processing, Have a look at the example posted in this thread . It can be easily adapted to read the values in the proper format (DBL, I32, Date, String, etc.) depending on the item name.
Good luck!

Comma delimeted string in IN clause of PL/SQL block

Hi,
I am using string having comma separted string in IN clause of PL/SQL block.
But it does not give me right result.
If i m using sql query then give me result.
I m using oracl 10g and following code. DEPT table having 'miller' and 'cleark' ename rows.
Can you please suggest the other way to get proper result.
declare
cnt number:=0;
strin varchar2(40);
begin
strin:='miller,cleark';
select count(*)
into cnt
from dept
where ename in (strin);
dbms_output.put_line('cnt:-'||cnt);
end;Thanks.

Apart from the solutions you've already been given, let's be clear...

But it does not give me right result.Yes it does, it's giving exactly the expected result for what you have provided. It may not be what you're desiring, but it's absolutely correct.
The IN Clause is expecting multiple arguments to be in the set of data. You are providing it with a single argument... a single string. Just because your string has got commas in it does not make that string into multiple arguments.

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.

Interesting scan from string error

Got an interesting (and hopefully easy) issue with scan from string. VI and back panel image attached. Open it or make it and try to run it and let me know if you get an error too. Am I doing anything wrong?
(BTW, ignore the %d in the scan from string. You can change those to %f or %g and it still burps)

case is also true with the original code). Distinct specifiers may be needed
to avoid this.
Yes, comma's might not be the best seperator. It will also fail if the
numbers use "," as seperators (as is often the case in Europe)...
But the same can be said for any seprator... If you use tabs as seperator,
the parsing will fail if the string contains tabs...
