URGENT : replacing letters in an expression
Hi all
I think that I should post this topic here because I think it concerns SQL functions. Here is the problem :
I am developping a forms application . There is a listbox named FORMULA containing list of formulas. When I choose a formula from that list then there is a program which exctracts all of its operands. For example if the formula is : (a+b)*abs(c-d) then the operands are : a,b,c and d.
Then I populate another listbox named OPERANDS with these operands. So the value of the OPERANDS listbox is either a or b or c or d in our example.
I held the expression of the formula in a global variable so it can be accessible anywhere in my application.
When I choose one of the operands from the OPERANDS listbox , for example b,then I enter its value , for example 5, in a text field named VALUE ,and then I click on a button to replace the letter "b" in the formula with the value I entered , which is 5. So I want to get an expression like this : (a+5)*abs(c-d) .
But the problem is that when I run the application then all letters "b" in the formula are replaced by 5 . So even the expression "abs", which is a pl/sql function, is replaced by "a5s". And I do not want that to happen.
Here is how I proceeded :
formula := replace(formula,operands,value); where "formula" is the global variable containing the formula expression, "operands" is the variable containing the value of the OPERANDS listbox which is "b" here, and "value" is the variable containing the value 5.
So how can I avoid this misreplacement ?
Thank you very much indeed.
post it where you want, but only once...

Email Messages Replacing Letters With = Signs
Somebody please help I am having an issue with my z10. When I send an email from my device is adds a bunch of script into the email that should not be there. It even goes as far as replacing letters I have put in with = signs and a bunch of other random stuff. Such as =/div>, =/body>, rev&n=sp. I am not sure what is going on here but it is really messing up my emails. Can someone help?
Same here. In my case the same email when read on another smartphone does not contain these artifacts. The BB is obviously mis-encoding something that our email clients (Outlook in my case) are sensitive to.
What about you? Trashed only in Outlook or something like that, or also when read back on another mobile device? -

Replace All with Regular Expression
Hi all,
I need a help to replace the String:
to
"<a href=\"1\"">Java Programming</a>"
I was trying to replace with
.replaceAll("\\[\\[*([^\\]]*?)*\\]\\]", "<a href=\"\"></a>")
but I don't know how to separate the parameters values.
Best regardsHi prometheuzz,
you are the one!!
But how I could do to a Srting like this:
Ah, more requirements...

Replace string with regular expression
I am new to the regular expression. I am just trying to remove double quotes from a string.
My sample string is sql statement(SELECT "SCHEMA"."TABLE1"."COLUMN1", "SCHEMA"."TABLE1"."COLUMN2" FROM "SCHEMA"."TABLE1", "SCHEMA"."TABLE2" WHERE "SCHEMA"."TABLE1"."COLUMN1" = "SCHEMA"."TABLE2"."COLUMN1" );
This is what I came up with.
String s = query.replaceAll("\\.\"", ".").replaceAll("\"\\.", ".").replaceAll("\\s\"", " ").replaceAll("\\s\"", " ").replaceAll("\",", ",").replaceAll("\"\\s", " ");
But I want to optimize this line.
Could anybody tell me how to call replaceAll once with using regular expression instead of calling replaceAll multiple times? Some table or column names can have double quotes, so I want to remove the double quotes without replacing the double quotes which is part of the table or column name.
I'd appreciated it.caesarkim1 wrote:

Replacement CDs for Logic Express
Hi,
Bought Logic Express a while back and I've lost the CDs and the box and all. All I have is the software installed and the manual. Is there any way Apple could me with this? Has anyone dealt with something like this before?
I desperately need the CDs just in case... and I don't feel like buying a whole new package.
BSorry to say this, but there is nothing apple can do. Don't ask us, we're not apple. Ask apple, they may be able to do something, but I highly doubt they will replace the CDs for you.

When Apple TV comes out will it replace need for Airport Express?
Hello,I have a couple questions:
1.) If I want to play iTunes through my stereo will I be able to use Apple TV for this? Or should I buy Airport Express.
2.) Can I use Airport Express or Apple TV for DVD player? Does the signal have to come through iTunes?
Thanks to anyone who knows these answers.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)1.) If I want to play iTunes through my stereo will I be able to use Apple TV for this? Or should I buy Airport Express.
You should ask in the Apple TV discussion area if the Apple TV has the features that you want (i.e. remote music streaming). From the description it does not appear to have this functionality.
2.) Can I use Airport Express or Apple TV for DVD player?
Since neither the Apple TV nor AirPort Express (AX) have an optical drive they can't be used directly as a DVD player.
Does the signal have to come through iTunes?
Take a look at Airoil. -
Replacing an older Airport Express with an N
My older Airport Express was used primarily for streaming music to a stereo system which was intermittently dropping out. Since proximity wasn't an issue it was suggested to upgrade to the N version.
After installing the Disc Version 1.5 and plugging in the new Airport Express, which is currently blinking amber, it doesn't show up in the Utility menu. The old unit shows up in the Utility menu when reinstalled.
Am I missing a fundamental step to introduce the new Airport Express unit into the network?Vic,
I see you have multiple computers handy.
Have you tried any of your other computers using Airport Utility to find your new AX?
The new AX should show up as a new Base Station and be ready to configure unless something is wrong with it.
Some people like to attach ethernet cables to it to get started but I am not found of that.
I have owned 3 of the older "g" models and now 3 of the newer "n" models. Plus I have set up more AX's then I can count. Never had a problem.
If it can't be found wirelessly, then I would take it back.
However, first try some of your other computers and see if you can find the new AX... -

You can always substring it like chuck said
***BUT all the images would have to be .jpg for this to work***
back = we.indexOf(".jpg");
int x = 0;
while (back < web.lastIndexOf(".jpg"))
back = web.indexOf("http",back+1);
picture[x] = web.substring(front, back);
x++;
front = back;
} Might not be the best code but it worked with a website i had to parse

I am running OSx 10.6.8 and downloaded the utility version 5.6.1.
Using the new utility, and setting it up as a new network, it finds and sets up the time capsule part just fine, I was able to start a backup, so it looked it was working ok.
But when it comes to the wireless part, the utility says it was set up correctly, but I do not get any response from the Internet.
I have the ability to connect to the original airport express based network, so I am not net less at the moment.
But whenever I try to connect to the new network via the AirPort Extreme, does not work. What am I missing?The new AC version TC requires v6 airport utility.. so you need at least Lion running on the computer to do the setup.
5.6 utility will not do the setup correctly.
You can also use the airport utility for iOS if you have a recent iphone/ipad.. -
Replacing letters through StreamTokenizer
Hi,
I am writing a program which reads from a text file, passes it into a StreamTokenizer, looks for a particular word and capitalises the first letter (in this case "apples" to "Apples"). It's all fine, except when the word I'm looking for appears in the middle of a sentence, in which case, it seems to ignore it completely. I'm probably doing something really stupid, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me!
Input file:
John likes apples. apples are healthy.
The apples John eats are red, sometimes green. Most
apples come from farms.
Current output file:
John likes apples. Apples are healthy.
The apples John eats are red, sometimes green. Most
apples come from farms.
What output file is supposed to be:
John likes Apples. Apples are healthy.
The Apples John eats are red, sometimes green. Most
Apples come from farms.

Cfor one, you might want it to check for "apples."Thanks for your help! I thought I was already
checking, here:
//and if the token value is "apples"
if(tStreamTokens.sval.equals("apples")) ///<--here
//change the stream token to "Apples"
tStreamTokens.sval = ("Apples");
tTextLog.println("Word changed at Line " +
+ tStreamTokens.lineno());
}but I'll have to look into it some more.
C
maybe you should read the post again. you need to check for the period too, dork.
if(tStreamTokens.sval.equals("apples")) {
//change the stream token to "Apples"
tStreamTokens.sval = ("Apples");
tTextLog.println("Word changed at Line " + tStreamTokens.lineno());
}should be something like
if(tStreamTokens.sval.equals("apples")) {
//change the stream token to "Apples"
tStreamTokens.sval = ("Apples");
tTextLog.println("Word changed at Line " + tStreamTokens.lineno());
}else if(tStreamTokens.sval.equals("apples.")) {
//checking for "apples." also

Iphone 3GS has "169..." IP address after replacing old Airport Express
My 3GS is no longer connecting to my home network after replacing my old airport express.
Previously my old G5 iMac would have problems connecting to the old airport express, BUT my iPhone 3GS would reliably connect.
After installing this new airport express, my iMac is on the network, but NOW my iPhone 3GS is experiencing the same problem my iMac previously had: IP address changed to 169.254.205.191
Airport Express is set to WPA2 Personal
Updated firmware on the Airport express
Network settings on iphone have been reset several times.
Airport express has been rebooted several times.
Please help. Thank you.Thnx William but that is not the case coz all other devices(laptops, desktops, PS3...etc) r working just fine.
after alot of time trying to figure out what the problem is I figured out the problem but cant seem to sove it:
I have three router in my network one acts as a DHCP server (router 1) and the others act as AP, they all brodcast wirless (SSID) based on the internet connection coming from router 1, all devices including my old iphone 3g connect on all three router no problem and get assigned an ip address within range 192.168.1.~, however when i connect my 3gs to router 1 (DHCP) it works perfectly and connects to the internet but when I connect to any of the other routers I cannot have internet access and it takes a long time to show the wi-fi symbol (3 bars), I managed to overcome this by giving my second router another network IP i.e 192.168.2.~ and made it aother DHCP server (but another network) that way my 3gs connected just fine like the 1st router, the problem with this solution is that I am on two seperate networks but same internet feed so I cannot communicate between lapto, desktop, PS3...etc
I guess I have two options:
1- wait for an update for 3gs hoping this could be solved and keep my network as is.
2- assign three different networks just for 3gs to work and sacrifice my whole home sharing.
SOOOO Pleaseeeeee if anything know anything or could help me in anyway please and post, is it just me or have i heared alot of Wi-Fi problems with 3gs!!! -
Replacing characters in a string - URGENT!
Hi guys
I have a string - 003452.jpg.xml
I want to remove the '.jpg'
How do I do this ... I was using :
String image1 = 002452.jpg.xml;
String newString = image1.replace ( '.jpg',' ' );
What am i doing wrong???
thanksThe replace method takes characters as its arguments not strings. If you files will always be in that format you can do something like:
In j2se 1.4 a replace based on regular expressions was added so you could use:
String image1 = "002452.jpg.xml";
String newString = image1.replaceAll ("\\.jpg", "" );
