Extract text from a text string

• Extraction of the bracketed text string data

  I have a bit of SQL to retrieve the text in brackets at the end of a string:
  

  WITH test_data AS
       (
       SELECT 'Joseph Bloggs (Joe) (THIS)' v1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Robert Holnas (Bob) (THAT)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Mary Mild (THIS)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Jack Jill (THIS)' FROM DUAL
       )
  SELECT v1
      , INSTR(v1, '(') start_bracket_pos
      , INSTR(v1, ')') end_bracket_pos
      , TRIM(SUBSTR(v1,INSTR(v1, '(')+1,INSTR(v1, ')')-INSTR(v1, '(')-1)) current_label
      , (LENGTH(v1) - LENGTH(REPLACE(v1, ')'))) / LENGTH(')') "ct_("
      , (LENGTH(v1) - LENGTH(REPLACE(v1, ')'))) / LENGTH(')') "ct_)"
    FROM test_data;

  Still, it extracts data from the media at the end of the string.
  
  I was wondering if I can change it to be able to extract the text between for example two sets of brackets - for the above test data, it would be useful to be able to extract the 'Joe' and 'Bob', but also 'CE' and 'WHO' at the end as well. It would be useful to have a column that contains the first support content and the 2nd set of content in another column.
  
  Is there a switch that I can use for example an INSTR() to return the position of the first open bracket and the 2nd and so on?
  
  Any advice much appreciated
  
  Thank you

  A way, using reg exp:

  SQL> WITH test_data AS
    2       (
    3       SELECT 'Joseph Bloggs (Joe) (THIS)' v1 FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    4        SELECT 'Robert Holnas (Bob) (THAT)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    5        SELECT 'Mary Mild (THIS)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    6        SELECT 'Jack Jill (THIS)' FROM DUAL
    7       )
    8  SELECT v1
    9      , regexp_substr(v1,'\((.*?)\)',1,1,null,1) bracket1
   10      , regexp_substr(v1,'\((.*?)\)',1,2,null,1) bracket2
   11    FROM test_data;
  
  V1                         BRACKET1                   BRACKET2
  -------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
  Joseph Bloggs (Joe) (THIS) Joe                        THIS
  Robert Holnas (Bob) (THAT) Bob                        THAT
  Mary Mild (THIS)           THIS
  Jack Jill (THIS)           THIS
  

  The regular expression find something in parentheses (the? makes not greedy, it's important.)
  1 means start over from the beginning of the string.
  Next number means bracket1 "first occurrence", bracket2 is "second occurrence" - you can continue with 3, 4, etc.
  null value uses only the default options for reg exp (here could be option for example for sensitive cases in search).
  Final 1 means that the result is the first 'group' in the reg exp - this only receives us the text in brackets and not the media themselves.

• How to extract text from a GIF Image?

  I have 47 lines typed text parsed as (.gif) image file.  I want 47 lines of text from the image, so it can be edited in MS Word. I've attached an example image file. I have several of the same format image files. How to extract text from an image using Photoshop CS2. In Photoshop CS2 image text layer is locked. During extraction using OCR it gives words and symbols, should be a lot of words spruced up. Kindly help to extract text using Photoshop CS2. Thank you.

  

  This has nothing to do with PS. Others are simply limits to all OCR process and you will have to live with it, especially since your image is extremely low resolution and the font used is not particularly suitable for OCR, either - too many thin areas will be ignored or interpreted as gray. Whatever it is, it took me 2 minutes to write this response at this very moment a bad typist like me might have re typed your text from scratch, just access it so...

• Is API available in Acrobat for extracting text from images using c#

  Is API available in Acrobat for extracting text from images using c#

  Thank you for your response. Acrobat is not appropriate for this task, because it is technically suitable or licensed for the server.

  Adobe have a PDF library which allows extraction of text for C/C++, but it does not OCR. There are OCR of the LiveCycle PDF Generator Server product, but I don't think that does OCR on a PDF file.

  Sorry not to have better news.

• Extraire extract text from illustrator for translation, and then replace with translated text

  I am trying to find a way to speed up the translation of our designs.  Each drawing has a series of legends indicating what's this piece of the drawing by the text.  I would need to do hundreds of drawings for each book.

  Issues related to the:

  1. can I write something to a batch file and extract the file name and the text of each textbox so that when I get back translation, I can automate the reintegration of the text translated to its appropriate field (i.e. TextField1 = 'Translate' and then fill in the exact field even with 'Translation')?  For that, I think that each text field should be marked with a unique identifier so that it know what translation goes where in the drawing.  Don't forget, I'm ok with marking manually each textbox if necessary.

  2. assuming that the above is possible, what would be the best program to write the extracted text so that reading and writing the text translated again in the drawing is as easy as possible (Word, Excel, PDF)?

  Scripting is not necessary, but it could be used, let's say has a decorative 100 pices of text all in English, you select one at a time and make dynamic (variable1, variable2... do variable100). Once you have all your variables, you capture a data set, this set of data (an xml file, like BilingualText.xml), then likely the xml to include your translated text and import export Illustrator. Now, you will be abel to switch between English and the translation.

  or if you don't need to switch between languages, simply export the file something like English.xml, then have it translated and saved as Spanish.xml for example and load the file each time its needed.

• REGEXP_REPLACE how to loop through the occurrences of a text string variables

  Hello

  I use a 11.g Oracle procedure. I found an example of REGEXP_REPLACE with only two arguments (input and model) and created a procedure based on this example. The Replace function works, but not optimally. I try to use REGEXP_REPLACE to loop on a variable number of occurrences of a text string in a local variable of CLOB.  The string occurs after the text base64 (base64 comma) and before the text "/ > (double quote space oblique superior - only)."  I can do replace it work for a single occurrence, but I can't do it properly in a loop.  These embedded strings include images that were inserted in a rich Apex text field.  This is a rich text field is assigned to the CLOB p_html.

  Declare p_html clob;
  l_image_clob clob;
  l_image_count number;
Begin
p_html := '<p>Some header text base64,one start here and then this is the end one" /></p><p>Some header text base64,two start here and then this is the end two" /></p>';
l_image_count := REGEXP_COUNT(p_html, 'base64', 1, 'i');
If l_image_count > 0 Then
  For i In 1..l_image_count Loop
  l_image_clob := REGEXP_REPLACE(p_html, '(.*base64,)|(" />.*)');
  dbms_output.put_line(l_image_clob);
  -- code to process each occurrence individually.
  End Loop;
End If;
End;

  What I would like to see results of the data are:

  tenure here and that's the end

  two beginning here and that's the end of two

  The results I get are:

  two beginning here and that's the end of two

  two beginning here and that's the end of two

  Thanks a lot for watching this.

  Hello

  From Oracle 11.1, REGEXP_SUBSTR is better than REGEXP_REPLACE for this sort of thing.

  What produces the output you asked for:

  Declare

  CLOB p_html;

  CLOB l_image_clob;

  number of l_image_count;

  Begin

  p_html: = '

  ' Some header text base64, start here and then it's the end "/ >

  Some header text base64, two start here and then it's the end of two"/ >

  ';

  l_image_count: = REGEXP_COUNT (p_html, 'base64', 1, 'i');

  If l_image_count > 0 Then

  For i In 1... l_image_count loop

  l_image_clob: = REGEXP_SUBSTR (p_html )

  , "base64,(.*?)" / > "

  1

  , I - letter i (loop variable), not number 1

  , 'i'

  1

  );

  dbms_output.put_line (l_image_clob);

  -code to treat each case individually.

  End loop;

  End If;

  End;

  /

  The 4th argument to REGEXP_SUBSTR specifies where desired appearance (starting with 1).

  The 6th argument is a backreference. 1 means you want to return all that match the expression starting with the 1st '('. gauche)

• detection of changing text string values

  Hi, I have a text string, the string length is more than 10,000.

  Whenever the value of this string changes, I need to detect and know the index.

  I can loop through the channel and compare if the channel is short. The best ways to do this?

  Thank you.

  Hi IIx,

  The ChnFind expression can only reference global variables of DIAdem.  Then you have to be your "Str2" variable GlobalDim() or simply use one of the existing temporary T1, T2... variable.  Also, you want to refer to all of the channel in the expression, not only one of the values of the string.  The motivation to use ChnFind is so looking through the canal enters the call function and not with primitive VBScript.

  T1 = "Group1/channel 1".
  
  T2 = 'test '.
  
  startIndex = 200
  
  Indexfind = ChnFind ("Ch (T1) T2 =", startIndex ")

• Convert a Boolean trigger in the text string

  Hello

  I would like to know if it is possible to convert some text buttons in a single variable text string.

  Let me try to explain:

  I have 3 buttons: Simulation, send, Quit

  Now, I want to use a case structure, in which it is possible to switch between these 3 options.

  So if you press the button for a second, I would have a string of text with the text: send.

  If I press Quit, having to turn into Quit, text string even if I can connect this string to the structure of the case.

  Is this possible? It sounds easy, but I can't figure out how do it in a simple way.

  How I did it: Boolean convert (0.1), these values multiplied by a number,

  for example (1,2,3), but to make a deal with (1,2,3) structure and write the right text in a text string.

  But I think it can be done much easier, isn't it?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Check the attached VI. I think this should help you. The mechanical action of the buttons are "switch until released. You can change it according to your requirement.

  The second example uses the Structure of the event.

• Text string in array of integers - with law enforcement in the text string-

  Hello

  I have a text string containing the measurement frameworks.

  I want to place each image in a first time 0, 11 x 11 array (with the same order in the text file).

  In the figure below, I tried to convert it to a table, but the table only contains the first "column" in the text file.

  Any suggestions?

  

  Crows is right, your channel is very dirty, with a variable number of spaces, lines starting with spaces and space + newline delimiter.

  In such cases, I like "scan of the channels for tokens", because it can automatically enter into identical consecutive separators in a single. Here's a quick example.

  

  Your lines are of variable length, a 2D picture seems inappropriate, because all rows have the same number of elements. For example, consider a table 1 d of clusters containing the tables 1 d.

  (Of course, it would be cool "worksheet in table string" could deal directly with identical consecutive separators as found here, so thank you for supporting my idea.) He deserves more than 24 voice )

• Debug: how to search a text string (s)?

  In the debug command, how to search for a text string?

  I tried both a mystring' and 'mystring' ' does not.  They return all two syntax errors ("^ error").

  "According to aid debugging (" "?" command "), the syntax is the list of the range".  Note that no argument is indicated as optional.

  If I enter a range, what is the syntax in general?  And what is the syntax for 'all '?

  I tried * 'mystring' ' does not.  I get the syntax error (' ^ error ") pointing on «*»

  And what is the syntax for the 'list', in particular to specify a text string?
