% _ wildcard character issue?

Hi,
can any one help me in correcting the below query,
i want to search table name starting with FI_
how to include wild card char when % or _ itself is needed to be
looked in .
select * from user_tables where table_name like 'FI_'

You can define your escape char by setting escape command in the where clause.
In the given example like 'FI\_%' since we mentioned escape '\' wildcard '_' will be treated as a normal char since it appears after the escape char (\).
If you have FI_A\_
the first '_' would react as wildcard and the next '_' would react as normal char
and hence FIxA_ would be selected where as FIxAx would not be selected.

  • Alert Rule - not working. Wild Card character issue

    Hi All,
           I have a requirement where I need to trigger alerts for mapping failures
    of all the interfaces whose namespace is urn:abc.com:odna* or urn:abc.com.odna*.     (in the first instance, there is dot before odna and int he second instance, a colon before odna )
    So to suit both the cases, I gave urn:abc.comodna in the Alert Rule.
    It worked before. But now its not working.
    Then when i changed it to urn:abc.com:odna* it works again. i really dont understand how it worked before and why it fails now.
    What is the reason for the unpredicatable behaviour of WildCard Character based Alert Rules?
    Should Wild Card Characters be avoided completely?

    Hey
    Just create two separate alert rules for the same alert category
    one for urn:abc.com:odna* and another for urn:abc.com.odna*.
    but before that please make sure that "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" box is unchecked.
    Also please check SAP Note 913858
    Thanx

  • Reading files using wildcard character

    Hi Everyone,
    I currently implemented a servlet that reads contents of a specific directory using File class:
    File contens = new File(directory_path);
    After this I would simply call contents.list(), which would list all of the files in that particular directory. And this works fine but I need to filter some of the files out so I came up with a solution of using a wildcard character:
    File contents = new File(directory_path + "SomeString" + "*");
    I would assume that this should give me all of the file names that begin with "SomeString" but it does not work that well. Instead I get null trying to instantiate a new instance of a File object and NullPointerException when I try to call list() method on it.
    How can I read directory contents if I want only certain file names that begin with "SomeString" for example.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Y.M.

    You can create a FilenameFilter and use it like this:
                myFilenameFilter filter=new myFilenameFilter();
                String[] dirArray=new File(myPath).list(filter);
       class myFilenameFilter implements FilenameFilter {
          public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
             if (name.startsWith(SomeString)) return true; else return false;
    }where SomeString is a globally accessible String.

    Hi,
    I recommend you use the search function.  There is the same topic on the 1st page of the forum.

  • Wildcard Character

    Hi, I use this piece of code to scan through an entire HTML file:
    while (!scanner.nextLine().matches( "TEXT HERE" )) {
    // do stuff
    // do other stuffIs there some kind of wildcard character that I can in the .matches() method use so that the following line in the HTML file would return true to the above statement:
    <b>TEXT HERE</b>Or perhaps there is something in the API that I haven't seen which could do the searching for me in an easier way? Thanks.

  • The wildcard % character is not working

    It's been about 4 or 5 years since I have used Oracle so please be patient with my questions (out of the field but now I'm back). For instance, when I select emp% using the % character it Oracle is treating it as a regular character and returning no rows. Do I have to update a table to identify the wildcard character? I seem to have forgotten how to do this

    Do you use LIKE operator or just simply equivalence (=)?
    E.g. should be something like
    SELECT *
    FROM blahh
    WHERE blahhhh LIKE 'emp%'Also remember that Oracle data are CASE SENSITIVE i.e. 'EMP' is not the same as 'emp'.

  • Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

    Hello,
    We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
    The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
    Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
    Thanks

    We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
    So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
    Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
    So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
    Regards.

  • XML Data from PL/SQL procedure -- special character issue (eBS)

    Hi All,
    I am developing a report, where the XML data is created by a PL/SQL procedure. I chose this approach over a data template, since there is a lot of processing involved in producing the actual data, and it cannot be done by select-statements alone. The report is run as a regular concurrent request.
    So far so good. There is a problem though. Every time the data contains special characters (ä, ö, umlauts), the concurrent request is completed with a warning, the log confirms that "One or more post-processing actions failed.", also there is no output file. The XML structure is valid as such. The report runs smoothly and produces the output when the XML data does not contain special characters.
    I am producing the XML lines by using the standard FND_FILE.PUT_LINE procedure: Fnd_File.put_line(Fnd_File.output, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); This seems like a character encoding issue, but declaring the UTF-8 encoding in this way does not solve the problem.
    Any ideas what can be done to fix this? I have been searching Metalink but cannot find an answer. Many thanks for your kind help.
    Best Regards, Matilda

    Hi Rajesh,
    One idea I have, is that it might be possible to modify the PL/SQL code into a "before report" type trigger, attached to a data template. The code would process the data and write the lines into a temporary table, from which the data template could retrieve them in a simple select-query. However, it would be neat to be able to solve this without adding an extra layer of processing, since BI Publisher supposedly supports PL/SQL procedures as the data source.
    The data in this case is all correct, special characters are an intrinsic feature of the Finnish language. :)

  • Multibyte Character Issue

    Hi,
    We just migrated our technology platform on one of the six servers yesterday on production d/b as follows :
    OAS Server - Linux Patch Applied (2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
    D/B Server - From Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 to Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
    Batch Server - From OpenVMS to Red Hat Linux
    Post Migration, we are facing some issues with Oracle Forms 10g, Text Items which contains one or more than one multibyte characters, is displaying only # character in the entire text box instead of what is stored in the database. In other words, information in the database is stored correctly. Before Migration everything was working perfectly fine.
    One other thing which I would like to tell here is that we compile forms using the following environment settings:
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
    NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
    Please provide urgent remedy for this issue

  • Special character issue with Adobe Reader 11.03 in hyperlink path

    Adobe Reader changes a [ character in a hyperlink path to a % sign, thus changing the path and destroying the link,when opened in version 11.03.  This does not happen with 11.01.  This is a serious problem for our customers with a critical linked document, because the customers are generall not tech savvy, and categorically refuse workarounds. They will not adjust their Adobe version for fear of security issues. Can this be corrected in a future version of Adobe Reader?

  • Special Character Issue in Country Name Côte d'Ivoire encoding ISO-88509-1

    soa suite 10.1.3.4
    I am reading an xml file using file adapter. The file has encoding type ISO-88509-1 and the country name is coming as <country_name>Côte d'Ivoire</country_name>.
    When I see the BPEL instance, this character is converted to "C\234te d'Ivoire" jumbled character. The target endpoints receives the country name in jumbled format only. I can't change the incoming file format. Is there a way I can read it properly and keep the special character as it is during SOA process.
    Any idea how can I progress in this issue?

    Any idea on this ? My soa suite server is on Solaris and the folder where I am reading the file from is on Windows.
