• Function to remove special characters

  I'm trying to figure out if there is a function anywhere in the Finder that can be used to remove special characters in a field. I wish they had just removed. Any help would be great.
  
  Thank you!

  934527,

  I'm glad it helped.

  When I said, "import" function, I should say, 'save' function. Using the administration tool of the Disco, the following should be done:

  -Connect to the instance of eul
  -Select Tools > register of PLSQL function
  -the import function (owner is SYS) and the function is in the package, 'STANDARD '. It seems that you did not identify SYS as the owner. In addition, it is very important to be aware that the 'STANDARD' is the package.

  Directions to the disco of 11g administration tool are here, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32519/adpsff01.htm.

• Request to remove special characters in a column

  How to retrieve only numbers in a column

  For example

  Hello

  Here's one way:

  SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D') AS digits_only

  FROM table_x;

  where str is the column.

  I hope that answers your question.

  If this isn't the case, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.

  If you ask on a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the content of the or the tables before the DML, and the results will be the State of the or the tables changed when it's all over.

  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

  Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

• How to remove special characters from the string using translate() without typing all special characters?

  Hi all

  I am trying to remove special characters without the help of regular expressions.

  translate (the column name or string,'!@#$ & * (* () _) * "" :} {?}) >? /, «, » ')

  I want to eliminate this manual process to give all special characters using a chr() or ascii() function.

  Please show me the way.

• SQL to remove special characters from my research

  Hello world.  I am very new to sql and hit another road block.  I do a query on my database in oracle sql developer.  I want to search numbers manufacturer but sometimes they were seized with dashes (999-99-9999) and other times not (999999999) is possible to use a function that give my number query and in the mfr_nbr database column on the dashboard in two?

  any help would be appreciated.

  Kelly

  Hi, Kelly.

  Of course, you can use REPLACE function to return a copy of a string, but with all dashes (if there is) removed.

  For example, if you have a string: user_input and you try to compare this to mfr_nbr, but you don't know if one (or two) contains dashes, you can tell

  ...

  WHERE REPLACE (: user_input, '-') =.

  REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')

  You might want to permanently remove the dashes in the table, like this:

  UPDATE table_x

  SET mfr_nbr = REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')

  WHERE mfr_nbr LIKE '%-% '.

  ;

  then add a CHECK constraint (mfr_nbr = REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')) and perhaps a trigger, to keep the dashes in the table.

  You said it is corrupt, and you know n must be converted to n.

  You can add more characters you know the output should be, just add it to the function to translate.

  Sorry, I forgot about this.

  Your front end probably has a feature to display the number of lines. In SQL * Plus, it is

  SET   FEEDBACK    1
  

  To count the rows of the query itself, use the analytical COUNT function:

  WITH     got_new_empname          AS
  (
       SELECT     empname
       ,     TRANSLATE ( '!@#$%'     -- special characters
                   , '     '     -- exactly the same number of spaces
                   )        AS new_empname
       FROM    table_x
  )
  SELECT     n.*
  ,     COUNT (*) OVER ()     AS total_number          -- ADDED
  FROM     got_new_empname     n

  I have a column name with special characters. How can I replace the special characters in the column with space and no space based on the special character. Please see the example below. can I use REGEXP_REPLACE?

  A simple solution without the use of regexp:

  -- Test Data
  with sample_test as
  (
  select 'O''NEIL' name from dual union all
  select 'B.E.VICTOR'  name from dual union all
  select'WILLIAM,L' name from dual union all
  select'MARY-ANNE' name from dual union all
  select'VON_ANCKEN' name from dual union all
  select'BROWN;L' name from dual
  )
  -- Query:
  select name old_name,
         translate(replace(name,'''',''),'.,-_;','     ') new_name
  from sample_test;
  

  Explanation:

  REPLACE deletes the quote
  TRANSLATE replaces point, comma, dash, semicolon and underscore

• Replace special characters in the FDF

  Hello

  I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer to this simple problem.  I can handle javascript in an HTML environment using free scripts, but it is not so easy in a PDF form.  I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I have a form that once completed and submitted, generates and sends a FDF file.  I use a script on the server side, called FormGenie do this and the script hate parentheses and some other characters, they break the FDF file.  Everything I want to do is set up a document level Javascript that find and replace all instances of these special characters with something license as a hyphen - or just a space.

  I tried:

  function clearText() {}
  document. FormName.FieldName.Value = filterNum (document. FormName.FieldName.value)

  function filterNum (str) {}
  re = /\$|#|~|\%|\*|\^|\(|\)|\+|\=|\[|\]|\[|\}|\{|\;|\"|\<|\>|\?| \|| \\|\!| \$/g;
  remove special characters as ' $' and ',' etc...
  return str.replace (re, "-");
  }
  }

  and

  function clearText2 (str) {}

  stringName = stringName.replace (/------$| #| ~ |------% |------* |------^ | \(|\) |--------+ |------= |------[|------] |------[{|------} |------{|------; |------"|"}]) ------< | ------> | \ ? | \|| \\|\!| \$ /g,'-');
  }

  I know that these are not good, but I have to be at least barking to the top of the tree on the right.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  You create the form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

  In general, you can place a script typo in the script of the text of each filter field field hit, in the case where something replacing the user typed with something else would not cause the concern of the user. An alternative would be to be implemented a script that parses the fields just before the submission form action takes place and not to replace them.

  For example, you can use the following JavaScript typo customized for text fields created in Acrobat:

  If (! event.willCommit) {}

  Event.change = event.change.replace (/ [------$# ~ %------*------*------^ \ (\)------+=------[\]------{\};------"\<\>\?]) \ | \\\ !] /g, "-");

  }

  and it will replace these characters when the user types the data into a text field. May not include all the character you want replaced, but you should get the idea.
