Discoverer INSTR function does not have a hyphen in the ID Oppty

I need to identify the IDS that have a number that produces a hyphen. INSTR (opportunity ID,'-', 1, 1) calculation identifies the location of the hyphen for most of ID. However, it does not recognize the hyphen in some. Identifiers that have hyphens that are not recognized, I know that the hyphen is counted as a character because Discover include the hyphen when I use a calculation of LENGTH on the field service ID.

Example:
INSTR (field ID,'-', 1, 1) calculation for ID 3 - XXXXX1 = 2; but for ID 3 - XXXXX2 = 0.
Calculations of LENGTH (ID field) for the two ID = 8.

Anyone who has ever encountered this problem and found a resolution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you!

Hello

I suspect that the character is not hyphenated, but hyphenated "windows". If the text was cut and paste from a windows like word or excel application, then it will probably contain the hyphen of windows which is a different character.

You can use the lengthB function to check if there are 2-byte characters or use the dump function to watch the ascii characters in the field.

    Question
    I want to record with < alt > < s > in the Exact program online. This function does not work. This is the first time I use this program with firefox.

    edit, escaped mod < s > in order to avoid the line through question

    A web page can be defined a "accesskey" for an item. Unlike IE/Chrome/Safari, who use the Alt key only, Firefox requires pressing Alt and Shift to activate the element. In other words, try

    ALT + SHIFT + S

    and see if it works.

    I don't know of any way to change this so that the change is not necessary. There may be an add-on?

  • BIOS update failed: the process does not have this system. The process of the utility is not complete.

    I have a Thinkpad T450s and I'm trying to update the BIOS version 1.19 to 1.20. I've created a live usb with the 'el tortio' - image extracted using linux "dd". Once I boot on the USB under Legacy-BIOS and select upgrade, it proceeds witht the error message "the process does not have this system. The process has been cancelled. "I have disabled the protection against theft, AMT (I think this is the option) and I'm sure that I use the correct .iso file from the downloads section. I don't have a Windows operating system installed, but I'm able to start in various linux distributions using Legacy and UEFI methods.

    Here is my BIOS information.

    "Manage 0 x 0031, DMI type 0, 24 bytes.

    What could you suggest to get the update disc to recognize my system?

    I think I've fixed the problem, I formatted FAT16 USB drive and not in FAT32 and also when you use the geteltorito command, it is preferable to use the-o option rather than a redirection ">"syntax. " An article said that it is best to drop in a DOS command line using the USB boot, then run dosflash.exe from there, however, I could not edit the .bat file, but it is an option however.

    I hope this helps someone stuck in a similar situation.

  • Satellite Pro S500-139 - FN + F9 key does not have to turn off the touchpad

    Hello

    I use a Satellite Pro S500-139 and am having problems with my F9 key. When I tap my palm touches the mouse and send the cursor somewhere else on the page. I reinstalled the ALPS pointing device and now have access to the Advanced setting that I was not able to get.

    Although I can set the sensitivity etc. I would really be able to use the shortcut to disable the mouse momentarily while typing. My keyboard shows that, if I press fn and F9 the i should be able to disable the mouse but the function does not work. F9 all other functions seem to work.

    Do you know if there is a solution to this?

  • Why Motorola does not have hands-free in the bike box?

    Why Motorola does not have hands-free box?

    I have all kinds of helmets that work very well.

    As to why the bike not turned in the box - I would say that most people do not use them. You may disagree, and perhaps it is regional. But looking around the United States and the European Union, most of the people with cell phones do not use wired headphones. And the few people I know that do, tend to buy a different brand of what is in the box.

    In the United States, you can get them in many stores for less then $10 for Motorola is saving most of us who do not use wired headphones. I have a set that runs in my backpack as a backup, but I always forget it's there and use the phone without it.

  • iPhone 5s does not have black screen, but the phone is still on

    So I have a very strange problem that I couldn't really get on Google.

    My iPhone doesn't come 5, after going to sleep, using the power button (my home button does not work). It will randomly start being sensitive, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

    By trial and error, I realized that cool the phone seemed to work fairly regularly (but not 100%), but now this method no longer works.

    I'm sure that the phone is still because when I call, he goes not to the "the number you have called is not available at this time" response, it sounds just normally, but the phone does nothing.

    However, connecting to a PC is the PC not recognizing anything plugged and that the phone itself does not seem to charge.

    When he "wakes" it is as if I just plugged it and shows me the lock screen and everything is normal.

    Thanks in advance for your time

    By reading your post I was stuck on hardware failure, perhaps the LCD screen or logic board and then you wrote this. Please you elaberate on what you mean by "it is as if I just hooked it up". Actually connect? Does it make the chimes as you he plugged in even if you don't have?

  • Firefox does not have LEEP &lt; Google &gt; as the first and main page. Home page is always the first all tried!

    I need your advice.
    Several months ago the Explorer makes it not possible for me to watch videos from Flixxy.com and even less to download. Anything else, worked ok.
    He kept asking me to download 11 Flush. I have done this at least 30 times, always with success and restarted my PC. Has not changed a thing!
    Then I downloaded Firefox and with her, I could watch and download Flixxy.com.
    Five days ago, something happened (I forgot what!) and I uninstall Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. Since then, I have an odd result:
    When I start it, Firefox starts its < Firefox Start Page >. I want Google and I installed it on the usual way and correctly. It turns on, but next time I restart Firefox, their < Firefox Start Page > is one who is. Only Google don't stay on!
    Everything else works great! And if I care what page they start would be OK: but I want to Google!
    What can you advise me? Why is it so? My anti virus (Norton, Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware show no virus.
    I reinstalled Firefox three times with the same results. I tried to do everything is written in Firefox Help.
    See you soon!

    Hmm...
    I see... Lets get to the bottom of your system configuration and try to eradicate the problem.

    1. Disable the MindSpark Plugin installed on your firefox Addons > Plugins
    2. Go to control panel > uninstall programs and look for something that says 'Toolbar' or something that sounds like this, uninstall them.
    3. Now reset firefox of topic: support
    4. Restart the system

    Let me know if its fixed or not.

    See you soon!
