Whole word string replacement in LV7.1

Is there anyway to do whole word string replacement in 7.1?
For example, if I have the string "x21+sin(x2)" and I want to replace "x2" with "b2" without accidently changing "x21" into "b21". I saw that 7.1 does not support the word boundary "\b" in regex.

The easy solution is to search for "(x2)" and replace with "(b2)" but if you're not sure that x2 will always be in parenthesis, then another solution would be to get the next character after "x2" is found, and if it is not a number (0-9) then you have found x2, if it is a number then you have found x21, or x22, etc.

Replace Function: Replacing Whole Words Only

I'm enhancing the verity search on a project I'm working on,
removing the operator words (as well as others) from search
criteria before passing it to the verity engine. The only problem
I'm having so far is stripping out the whole words "AND", "OR", and
"NOT" from user-specified search criteria. I obviously want to do
it only in cases where "AND", "OR", and/or "NOT" are the whole
word, and not replace things like "hand", "organization", and
"notingham". It's probably so simple, but I'm a bit stumped.
While I'm here, has anyone developed anything to enhance
verity results, or know of a resource I could look into
further?

you can do this with ReReplace()
look in the documentation for "boundary", somewhere in the
regex
documentation, and you'll find what you're looking for. i
think it's "\b",
so it's something along the lines of
ReReplace(str,"\b(and|or|not)\b","","all")

Find whole word

How i can find whole words only in a string?
If we have a string like "Hello any person in any part of world" And User searches for "an"
in normal search, he finds 2 match But he must find it only if the string has contained "an" as a whole word like "this is an apple"
It may be possible.

Searching for a whole word within a sentence

I am trying to search for a whole word only in a sentence. The problem is if I use CS then I get things that contain the string in other words. If I use CO or CP then there is no match because there are other words in the sentence. I don't think it's practical to split the sentence into individual words and then compare each word as the sentence is of an unknown length and could be made up of many words.
An example:
Sentence 1 - THIS IS ABOUT RF OUTPUTS.
Sentence 2 - THIS IS ABOUT MY PERFORMANCE
The user wants to search for sentences containing RF. In this search I only want sentence 1 to be found and not the RF in the word performance in sentence 2.
Can anyone tell me how to do this.
Many thanks
Karen

SPLIT str1 AT space INTO TABLE it_tab.

SPLIT str2 AT space INTO TABLE it_tab.

Check this code as it solves the leading RF and trailing RF problem .

String replacement

Hi, anyone knows how to replace a particular string in a file with another string?
For example, in the file hello.tmp,
I want to replace the word :Smile: with the string
<img src="smile.gif">
I tried to use String.replace() but this is only for characters.
Anyone knows how to replace Strings??
Hope to hear from anyone really soon. Very urgent!!!

There is no direct method to replace a string in file. The code goes like this:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class StringReplacer
     private String replaceString;
     private String replacerString;
     private String filePath;
     public StringReplacer(String replaceString, String replacerString, String filePath)
          this.replaceString = replaceString;
          this.replacerString = replacerString;
          this.filePath = filePath;
          try
               replace();
          catch (Exception ex)
     private void replace() throws Exception
          File file = new File(filePath);
          if(!file.exists())
               System.out.println("File doesnot exists");
               return;
          DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
          StringBuffer fileData = new StringBuffer("");
          String strTemp = "";
          while((strTemp = dis.readLine()) != null)
               fileData.append(strTemp);
          dis.close();
          StringTokenizer stTemp = new StringTokenizer(fileData.toString(), replaceString);
          int tokens = stTemp.countTokens();
          if(tokens <= 1)
               //No matches found for string to be replaces.
               System.out.println("No matches found for string to be replaced");
               return;
          fileData = new StringBuffer("");
          while(stTemp.hasMoreTokens())
               fileData.append(stTemp.nextToken() + replacerString);
          if(file.exists())
               file.delete();
          file = new File(filePath);
          if(!file.exists())
               file.createNewFile();
          DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
          dos.writeChars(fileData.toString());
          dos.flush();
          dos.close();

Whole-word search in project

I'm running RH for HTML Help X4.1 on Windows XP. I want to
search through all the text in all of the topics for a particular
word or word string. Is that possible? I can't find anything that
lets me do that? I realize this is NOT Win Help where I'd be
searching a Word document, but it would be very helpful to be able
to do a whole-word search of the project. Thanks.
-david

Just a word of warning. It is good practice to close your RH
project down as the in built tool does occasionally fail to spot
instances in open topics/projects. Personally most authors on here
prefer to use other tools (e.g.
FAR or
BkReplacem).

Regarding String Replacing ....

Hi Friends,
I have some problem regarding String replacing.
ex.
I have following string ::
=================================================
This is the java manager the main purpose for the jasper is used to create reports.
And the Java language is very extensible.
Is this the proper string functions provided by java isn't it ?
*================================================*
*i want to replace word "is" with "IS". but that word is not connected to word like Th{color:#ff00ff}is{color}*
*differ from simple separate "{color:#ff0000}is{color}" so Word should not be replaced in This only separate "is"*
*must be replaced. ?*
*Any Idea ?*
*{color}*
Edited by: Ghanshyam on Sep 14, 2007 4:27 PM

How about just searching for and replacing
" is "
instead of
"is"
So, using this code from the Java Developers Almanac 1.4 (2002 Addison-Wesley):-
static String replace(String str, String pattern, String replace) {> int s = 0;> int e = 0;> StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();> > while ((e = str.indexOf(pattern, s)) >= 0) {> result.append(str.substring(s, e));> result.append(replace);> s = e+pattern.length();> result.append(str.substring(s));
return result.toString();
}Your would use:-
String newStr = replace(originalStr, " is "," IS ");

PLD String Replace Function?

Hello Experts,
I would like to use the Sum in Words option in the field properties Format tab. However, I would like to have this in a language for which there is no LRF.
I have read all the various Sum in Words/Amount in Words threads I can find but I have no special locale based requirements (lacs etc). The default answer seems to be to prepare a FMS query and attach it to a UDF, then pull the variable into PLD.
Rather than rewriting the functionality, it would be far easier for me to use a series of Replace functions (the structure of Turkish for amount in words is exactly the same as English and translating each word (One, Two... Ten, Twenty... etc) with a Replace would solve my problem.
Looking at the documentation for PLD, I can see no prebuilt Replace function - is there any way this can be achieved?
If not, is there any Sum in Words function in B1 queries so I can at least do the replace there rather than writing an entire convert to words query?
Thank you.

Wasn't able to force a string replace - had to hex edit the LRF instead. Quick and dirty, but it works.

Why does double-click no longer select a whole word?

I am on the beta update channel and currently using FF 8.0, latest update as of the moment of this posting.
I am not sure when it happened - I think since I started using 8.0 - but double-click no longer selects a whole word. It's the same effect as a single click - simply positions the insertion point where the mouse cursor is located.
This is very aggravating. I thought it may be a bug in the new version (I already posted it to Bugzilla, but hasn't been confirmed yet), Unfortunately, I don't have the old version to cross-check (can I install both versions on one machine?)
Or is it some configuration issue? Or conflict with something else? I've searched and not (yet) found any other complaints about this issue from other users.
Note that I do not have the problem in any other app nor in other browsers that I have installed (e.g., IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari). In all of those, double-click on a word selects the whole word.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance.
Best,
Yosh

OK - I found the culprit. It seems that the Answers.com '''1-Click Answers''' utility had changed its behavior. In its Options on the Activation tab is an option to activate it when using double-click in a browser. I don't remember turning it on, but it ''was'' on. When I turned that option off, the problem went away. Apparently it is not compatible with FF8, since double-click was apparently intercepted, but 1-Click Answers was not activated - the double-click simply became a no-op.
Now that I've turned off that option, double-click in FF8 is back to the way it's supposed to work for quickly selecting a whole word or sentence.
If anyone else encounters this problem, I hope this information will help to resolve it.

What is the unicode for '' (need it to do String.replace)

i'm trying to use String.replace(char a, char b)
it won't compile if i do x.replace('_', '')
help!
thanks!

Are you trying to remove all occurences of the underscore character from the string? If so create a StringBuffer from the string, loop through it and remove the characters as you find them.
If you're using JDK1.4 you should eb able to use the new String method:
public String replaceAll(String regex,
String replacement)

String replace

String has a replace method for chars, something the likes of
String replace(char a, char b)
I tend to think it would be nice to ammend String further with
String replace(String a, String b)
proponents/opponents? It seems like a nice thing to have.

This type of method is available in the regex package
(available in JDK 1.4). I am not expert or regular
expressions but it will allow you to do this and much
much more.I guess it will. Still it would be nice to have the ability directly inside String without explicitly having to instantiate a Pattern. I know there is a split method in String in JSDK 1.4 which takes a String specification of a regexp and internally compiles it. I guess my point is convenience but I should know the new APIs fully before writing more.

In SQL Worksheet, when I double click to select whole word with underscore

Hi All
I'm using SQL Developer 2.1 in XP. After I changed various preferences, I fid when I double click a variable such as ls_test_column, it considered it as 3 words instead of one. I know in TOAD there's a setup to consider word with underscore as one word so that when double click, the whole word can be selected. Now I have to use mouse or shift key to select variables with underscore. it's inconvenient.
Does anyone know which preference control this? Thanks.

It is based on the "Use Change of Case as Word Boundry" preference in the Code Editor section - if this is on, then an _ is considered a "change of case" for double click selection, amongst other things.
theFurryOne

I want to modify the "find" box to be avble to only search for whole words.

I want to modify the "find" box to look only for matching "whole words," otherwise--it's pretty pointless!!!

Also, it is early in the day for this forum as far as activity by the contributor's who really know CSS coding. I bet someone else will have the codes you need later today.

Find/Change whole words in CS3

Maybe I'm just being dense, but when I do a find/change in ID CS3 I can't find the option to search for whole words only. The default is set to ignore whole words, so I end up finding a lot of undesirable matches. My last search was for "air," so you can imagine how many false matches I got.
This was quite obvious in CS2, but those options (including match case) seem to have moved somewhere where I can't find them.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Mark

With your mouse, examine each of the icons under the Change field. A tooltip identifies each one. One of them is the one you want.
