Empty value String comparison problem

Hi, I'm having some trouble by comparing an empty string... basically, it won't take it... I open a csv (comma-delimited) file where I have values that can come like this: (1) 123, House, 90.1/1/2009... or (2) 123, House, 01/01/2009... in the second case, when the value is ' ' or null, it should be zero, in order to take the values of the chain im using a function that returns the value before the next comma and so of...
So my problem is that when it returns "; It is not the FI... I tried the IF = null value THEN, IF value = "THEN... and also IF value = ' ' THEN... None of them does, it always goes to the other, in fact it does is: To_number (value), and when the value is 'empty' the to_number returns null... it's weird too...
I use forms 6i to do this.

IF value = null THEN

NULL is not a value, you cannot use the equal operator, you must use

IF value IS NULL THEN

  • string comparison problem

    Good morning people,

    I want to take a month and year from sysdate basically and compare it with the month and year of the field in the database and compare them.

    But it does not work.

    Concat (to_char (Max (as_of_date), 'MM'), to_char (max (as_of_date), 'YYYY'))) then 'not checked '.
    else "archived" end of historical_advs_curr_eom

    can anyone suggest me any other way to go?
    Maybe I shouldn't convert sysdate to a string?

    Thanks a lot people.

  • How to read the size of the array, eliminating empty values

    I have an array of size 2 X 10. In the first column, the elements are 10 and in the second column, the elements are only 6. If I use the size of the array and the size of the second column of the index, the value given is 10 which is supposed to be 6. I noticed that it creates null or empty values in the column for the other four. How can I eliminate empty values, and only get the real sze of the column?

    The column in the index and use search 1 D table for an empty string.  The result should be the number of non-empty strings.  If the result is - 1, use the actual size of table.

    The user can omit one of the lines, not necessarily the last population. In fact, it can fail to complete the entire form.

    The best solution is to validate the data prior to the insertion of the database. For example, you can see empty lines as follows

    I would be greatfull for any help

    I managed to solve the problem.

    Ultimately I don't check if the values were empty, as it worked fine without. However, the switch of the price did not work in combination with the rest of the query.

    I solved the problem as follows:

    $varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
    if (isset($_GET['Category'])) {
      $varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Category'];
    }
    $varMake_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
    if (isset($_GET['Manufacturer'])) {
      $varMake_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Manufacturer'];
    }
    $varColor_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
    if (isset($_GET['Color'])) {
      $varColor_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Color'];
    }
    $varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
    if (isset($_GET['Keysound_price'])) {
      $varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['price'];
    
    }
    mysql_select_db($database_dBconn, $dBconn);
    $query_rsgetsearch2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM products WHERE Category LIKE %s AND products.Manufacturer LIKE %s AND products.Color LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString("%" . $varCategory_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varMake_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varColor_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text") );
    switch( $_GET['price'] ){
            case '0-500':
            $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 0 AND 500 ORDER BY price ASC';
            break;
              case '500-1000':
            $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 ORDER BYprice ASC';
            break;
                        case '1000-2000':
            $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 ORDER BY price ASC';
            break;
              case '2000':
            $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 2000 AND 10000 ORDER BY price ASC';
            break;
    }
    
    $query_limit_rsgetsearch2 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rsgetsearch2, $startRow_rsgetsearch2, $maxRows_rsgetsearch2);
    $rsgetsearch2 = mysql_query($query_limit_rsgetsearch2, $dBconn) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rsgetsearch2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsgetsearch2);
    

    I'm sure you can keep checking the values, however for me the most was not necessary for this.

    Thanks for your help

  • Update a record of ORM, but with empty value

    Hi all, excuse my poor English and my level of coldfusion poor

    I have some problems to update the data with ORM objects.

    (1) I have an object of customer with a task property (many-to-one relationships)
    (2) I have a job object (a list of works)

    When I update a client with customerOBJ.setjob (jobOBJ); It is ok

    But when I can't seem to restore an empty value for the job.

    When I try this:

    customerOBJ.setJob (), I have an error because the settings is not a type of employment

    You have some information about this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi friend

    This allows to obtain a value zero: javacast("null",'"")

    That is why to delete the value:

    customerOBJ.setJob (javacast("null",""));

    That should make you well. If you use it in a few places, you can create yourself a function:

    Then use:

    customerOBJ.setJob (null);

  • Problem with string comparison

    I have a web service that I use two compares two strings, one from the service web xml of my application.

    XML retrieves a string when I compare it like this

    If (xmlVersion == 'true') {}

    }

    It never enter the if condition when I print the value I get from the service I think like this (real).

    So, what's the problem here?

    The way you wrote the comparison. you simply compare the addresses of the two strings.

    Try this instead:

    xmlVersion.equals ("true").

    In fact, you might want to consider getting these out to the back to avoid would be Null Pointer Exceptions, like this:

    If (true".equals (xmlVersion)) {" "}

    }

  • ANALYSIS OF the CHAIN fails with empty quoted strings

    I'm scanning a long text with the STRING SCAN line.

    "[My problem in the first place of this part: " [^] "]"

    The string I'm scanning a quotes in it - I want to extract the string in quotes as a single item.

    I can't use %s because the string can have spaces that it contains.

    The format string works fine except if the quoted string is empty ("").

    "[I interpret " [^] "]" a number of things that are not a QUOTE, QUOTE, QUOTES.

    Apparently, 'any number' does not include zero, as it fails (error 85: data not matching format) when the quotes are empty.

    What Miss me?

    This confusion arises as well in RegExes, but you hit on the answer: in the Simpsons "Zero is one percent", but in the analysis of String Nothing is not something.  You asked to match something that's not a quote, and there is nothing here that is not a quote, so it complains.

    In this situation if I really wanted to keep the convenience of analysis of string I would generally use Search & Replace to replace "" with "\00" before scan and then process a string that only contains null as empty.

  • CAN string comparison to see if I have the right one.

    I am writing a program to test a product that we produce using CAN.  How would I go see if I have a CAN message string to know that our alarm is turned on, on the product?  Is there a way to compare channels incomming and pass it some Boolean value when it does?  Thank you, Fred

    Hi Fred420,

    You can use the simple comparison function to compare two strings. If you have a list of channels, then you can store them in a table and use the search function of table 1 d. Two find a portion of a string in another string, you can use the search and replace function.

    It will be useful.

  • SelectOneChoice show the correct value with switching problem

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0 and I have a non-trivial application of SelectOneChoice.

    Here's my usecase:

    I have to show LOV to set the State according to the connected person.

    So, I implemented attribute LOVs view that each filtered for in the light of the type of person (owner or non-owner).

    I created switcher LOV for attribute as java method in module impl invoked by EL expression adf.source.getApplicationModule () .getTaskStateLOVSwitcher (adf.object, CreatedByIdFk);

    to get connected user binded query parameter id.

    public static String getTaskStateLOVSwitcher (ViewRowImpl, String createdById, time stamp dateInsert vri) {}
    ViewObject vo = vri.getApplicationModule () .findViewObject ("TaskViewParTaskTypeIdEx1");
    String userId = getBindValue (vo, "BindProcessedByUserId") m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ();
    Output string;
    If (createdById.trim () .equals (userId)) {}
    output = "LOV_TaskStateIdFkOwner";
    } else
    output = "LOV_TaskStateIdFkNotOwner";
    return output;
    }

    I've used this many fragments of jsff perspective.

    There are fragments where it works fine (but I still don't understand why the switch method is called 3 times)

    And there are fragments where it fails. When there are two lines with different LOV to show SelectOneChoice shows an incorrect value.

    I can see the newspaper that LOV switcher method is called 6 or more times and first 3 times it works with values previously selected line and next time, it runs with the current line.

    He result is SelectOneChoice sets the value of the line previously selected in the first round and goes the LOV index.

    I found in the < getViewPort > ADFc log < ControllerState > message: no port view found ID...

    Is the source of the problem and what is the solution?

    Thank you.

    After eliminating all the differences between 'good' and 'bad' fragments I found a problem in the fragments of masters who defined a real line of iterator.

    Define RangeSize = 10 (not 25) table completely setting to change this behavior in common sense.
