How to: Extract the first three characters of a text field

Greetings-

What is the best method to extract the first three letters of a text field?

I need to extract the first three letters of a text field (surname in this case),
so I add other components to create an identification number for
a person.

This identification number which must be created consists of the
date of the person by birth, last 4 digits of social security number and
the first three letters of the person's first name.

Example:
== > Date of birth: 15/11/45
== > Last 4 SSN: 6654
== > Name: Smith

Identification number would be:
== > 1115456654SMI

That should do the trick:

I put your values in the variable, simply replace the names, according to the needs


This removes all the string of the / your birthday (if it's a string!) and puts it in the variable id:

It takes the 4 last letters/digits of your social security number string and adds it to the id:

It takes the first thre letters/numbers from your last name variable, capitalizes and adds to the identification string

It will be useful.

  • How to make the first letter in a capitalized text field

    Is it possible for me to make the first letter of a capital of field if the user forgets to make capital? For example, in my form there is a field for the first name. I would like to enter into some type of Java script, so when the user off the field and the first letter tabs is not crucial, it will make capital. If I don't have to use Java Script, that will be fine too.

    Hello

    If it's just a word value, you can use this in the event exist;

    this.rawValue

    = util.printx (">?")<>

    This changes the first character (represented by the?) uppercase (represented by the >) and all the characters of tail (represented by the *) lowercase (represented by the)<>

    If you wanted something more general... If they could also enter a middle name, then you can call a function such as;

    function

    toTitleCase (textValue)

    {

    return

    () textValue.toLowerCase replace (/ \b [a - z] / g, function replace (match) {return match.toUpperCase () ;});})

    }

    This example uses a regular expression to change all lowercase letters, following a word uppercase boundary.

  • How to remove the first few characters of a string of liquid

    I would like to delete the first three characters of a string of liquid. The question is how.

    If I use the markup according to liquid when I know what are the first characters

    {{it. {{["Estate status'] | strip_html | remove_first:"11."}}

    It will remove the 11 characters.

    But if I don't know what are the first characters, this markup can I use to get "RID" of the first three characters?

    I tried 'split' and 'slice', but it must always know what characters to split or slice.

    Thanks for any help.

    Kind regards

    Assign a value into slices and you can have table data that you can get out.

    don't know exactly what you want, but if you want the first day of a quarter for any given date and then

  • How to remove the first 11 characters of a string

    With the help of ' XML Publusher Desktop / generator model for Word / 5.6 Build 45'

    I use XML Publisher. With the help of a RTF model, to generate purchase orders by email of the purchase of the Oracle.

    The fields are drawn from the XML code generated by Oracle.

    What I have to do is to remove the * DO NOT USE * according to the description of the location.

    I could do is a Find / Replace, or a substring to ignore the first 11 characters from the string. But I don't know how to do it.

  • Table nested @ schema - level how to extract the first clue?

    Hello

    My version of oracle database: 11g

    I present to you the code here and here are the steps by which I created a table and theres a regular column to the number, but the 2nd column is a nested table.

    (1) create or replace type s_def_NT_DepEmployees is table of the varchar2 (100);

    2)

    create the table employees_NT_test

    (number of department_id

    c_of_s_def_NT_DepEmployees s_def_NT_DepEmployees)

    nested as NTs_c_of_s_def_NT_DepEmployees table c_of_s_def_NT_DepEmployees store

    (3) now, I inserted 2 records:

    insert into employees_NT_test values (1, s_def_NT_DepEmployees ('Rahul', 'Myra'));

    insert into employees_NT_test values (2, s_def_NT_DepEmployees ('Rashi', 'Gaurav'));

    (4) now get me this sql allows employees of department_id: 1

    Select column_value

    table (select c_of_s_def_NT_DepEmployees in the employees_NT_test where department_id = 1);

    Output:

    Rahul

    Myra

    Now my question: I want to just choose the first clue: IE: rahul (and not myra) and it should be compatible such that if I select the two departments I should get my output like:

    Department_id | employees

    1                    | Rahul

    2                    | Rashi

    PS: I am looking for a sql query, I hope I presented my question clearly, if there are doubts please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    Rahul

    Now my question: I want to just choose the first clue: IE: rahul(and not myra) and should be consistent

    You can only do in a deterministic manner, given the current design.

    Unlike PL/SQL, SQL has no way to access the items in the collection of their indices.

    We can think about using ROWNUM (or ROW_NUMBER) in a subquery, but the SCOREBOARD operator and later join operations do not guarantee that the order will remain the same in the different calls.

    You must redefine the collection 's_def_NT_DepEmployees' as an array of objects, and this object would include an index attribute explicitly on which you can filter.

    The alternative is to create a function that takes the collection and the index for the arguments and returns the element at index - but even in this case I'm not sure that oracle could rebuild deterministically collection either.

    Why use a table nested at all?

    The strings have a substring function, it also works with the text property of such components which channels.

    var s2:String = s1.substr (0.7);

    or with linebreaks

    I'm importing text from an XML file and lines of text to display in the text separated under the other fields. How can I set the value y of each text field following so that there is little space (40 pixels or more) in the field above, regardless of the length of the text? Here is my current code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Separate the variable of the loop that you update in the loop to keep track of the current value of y.  The current value of there would be updated to the previous value, the height of the textfield newest once it was filled with text.

  • How to calculate the difference between two numbers in text fields

    Hello, I am fairly new to this, and I am certain that I will be bothered by the simple answer is

    I do a simple calculation... total of total assets - liabilities = net worth

    I have my total assets and my total work of the liability, but is not a subtraction option in the properties of a text field for the Net of a field value.

    I don't know... not any script Java can any who help out me?

    Thank you

    Judy

    You can use the option of simplified field notation, but first your input fields names must be changed so that they do not contain spaces or punctuation. For example:

    TotalAssets - TotalLiabilities

    If you want to use JavaScript, what will be needed if you ever in more complicated calculations, you can use something like the following as the custom fields (net value) calculation script:

    (function () {}

    Get the values of the field as numbers

    var v1 = + getField("total_assets").value;

    var v2 = + getField("total_liabilities").value;

    calculate the value of this field

    Event.Value = v1 - v2;

    })();

    It seems to me that the first three extractions return 31 lines in very little time, but the last extraction takes environ.4 seconds and about 7354 buffer gets to get the remaining lines of the 13. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this?

    -Bobby

    Bobby Durrett says:

    The index includes all of the columns in which the clause in the order listed plus more. It's a local index.

    Most of the additional work is done in the index (see cr = value in the INDEX line).
    This suggests that you do a scan of interval by a large proportion if the index, but have a large number of entries.
    Two options in mind spring
    (a) there is a constraint in the where clause, which means your predicate is not as precise as it looks
    (b) there is a large strip of data recently removed from the index you're going through

    In both cases you can be the first return of these first two blocks of index leaf rows, then walk a lot index, do a lot of work, before going to the table for the last few rows.
    The suggestion to check the session statistics can give you some clues.

  • Need urgent help! In my Vision Application, how to extract the parameters of the geometric model specified curve was generated by the template editor OR?

    I have an application of machine vision, in which the geometric pattern match technique was used to find the target in the images of type variant.

    as we know, we do a geometric model by model OR editor in the editor we can adjust the parameters of the curve specified settings to get the desired curves and we derive the custom box to ignore during the match. then we save the use of the same model in our application of vision.

    Now my question is coming. When I program my request for the geometric game. I have specified the parameters of the curve for the entrance of the IMAQ Advanced Setup learn ringtone 2, of course, I have to adjust this identical to the model, but I don't know how we extract the geometric model. I tried all the methods, for example, I can read data custom, IMAQ get characteristics of the geometric model(it's just for the basic functionality? so is there even a VI based edge?), even at anasys PNG file formats! But I can't read the info of the geometric model by myself!

    It is also illogical to adjust the CURVE SETTINGS manually again for the " IMAQ Advanced Setup Learn Pattern 2" after that I already have in the template editor OR!

    Hello

    Why do you need to specify the curve settings once again, if you have already built a model using the template editor? You don't need to use "IMAQ Advanced Setup learn geometric model 2 VI" to find games (see the attached example).

    You can wire the 'curve settings' control to 'IMAQ configuration geometrical game model 2 VI', but the values are not used if wire you a Boolean true to the node "use learning curve settings" (it's like that by default). To prove it, I enclose a small program with pre-created model (using the template editor) for a geometrical alignment. The model and the test of three images are also included.

    Try changing the settings of the curve with the 'use know curve settings' enabled, and you will see the corresponding score remains the same. Disable the Boolean control, then try to change the curve settings.

    Also take a look at the detailed help for "IMAQ configuration geometrical game model 2 VI", specifically the "learning curve parameters of use."

    I hope this helps.
