• Calculation for cutting the first part of the string in the Manager list item values

  Hello

  Please help me with a calculation after submit pl/sql function process for cutting the first part of the string (CQ.) within the values of list manager. For example the list manager support contains values such as

  CQ... SAMPLE1... TEST1

  CQ... SAMPLE2... TEST2

  CQ... SAMPLE1... TEST2

  The calculation process should cut the first part(CQ..) and must return to the list of values of Manager as

  SAMPLE1... TEST1

  SAMPLE2... TEST2

  SAMPLE1... TEST2

  But when I insert/update Manager list item values I don't want the first part of the string in the database.

  I still don't understand why you can't change the LOV or create a new...

  The LOV should be:

  SELECT original_value  AS HUMAN_SEES_THIS_VALUE
      ,LTRIM (SUBSTR ( original_value, INSTR (original_value, '..') + 2))
        AS DATABASE_GETS_THIS_VALUE
  FROM (
    -- place original SQL for LOV here
  )
  

• Reading the part of a string

  I have a table with a column "otname."
  Table1.otname contains several lines of alphanumeric string that resembles the following sample data:
  
  11.10.32 * 12 *. U.A.F.3.2.21.249.1
  2001.1.1003 * 8281 *. A.THE. PAINVIN
  2010.1.1003 * 8261 *. A.THE. B.B
  
  I want to read the fourth number in each chain (part of the string in bold) and write a query in Oracle 10 g
  to read its description stored in another table. My dilemma is to write the first part of the query.i.e. Choose the fourth issue of each string in an array
  
  My second query will be something like this:

  select description_text from table2 where sncode = 8281  -- fourth part of the data sample in every string

  Thank you very much.
  
  novice

  Oops... I forgot to change that:
  Fixed query:

  SELECT   description_text
     FROM   table1, table2
    WHERE   SUBSTR (otname, INSTR (otname,'.', 1, 3)
                           + 1,
                           INSTR (otname, '.', 1, 4)
                                - INSTR (otname,'.', 1, 3)
                                - 1)
                                 = sncode
  

  This will return rows from your table if the sncode appears as the fourth string (delimited by '.') in otname. What is your requirement?

  Kind regards

• VM models automatically get a length of string VM value!

  Hi guys,.

  I use lab Manager 3.0 (3.0.2.56), and I created a few models gold.

  I'm deployment new configurations in my workspace using Option of linked Clone and clone not fully, always my Gold models VM automatically get a length of string VM value!

  No idea why this is happening? I'm worried because I need to consolidate all these models to take back the length of the string VM to 0

  (Ideally models don't get any length of string VM right?)

  Kind regards

  esxvmuser

  The mode of operation is a little more complicated than that. Let's say you start with a template and it has a string length of 0 and is located in the 100 on the data store directory.

  The first time that you deploy a virtual machine using this model configuration, the model will be immediately Branch once in machine 101.

  101 machine is the configuration of the virtual machine that you have created and are a 100 machine delta drive. It has a length of chain 1. The string for this virtual machine looks like 100-> 101. the length of the string of the model is always 0.

  Now let's say you do not publish your model you can make some changes to it. As soon as you do not publish the template, it will create branching in a new machine, machine to 102.

  Machine 102 now is the model and it is the length of string is 1. He now has a record of delta. The original model is still in the 100 directory, but it cannot be touched. If you deploy the model, you deploy machine 102 and 100 machine remains intact. Whatever changes you make to the model has no effect on the configuration of virtual machines that have been already deployed from it. The string for this virtual machine looks like 100-102 >.

  Hope that clarifies things.

• Get filename of a string including filepath and filename

  How can I get a file name from a string that includes the filepath and filename? The path is not always the same. For example, the variable may include a "C:\temp\test.doc" or "C:\files\docfiles\test.doc" and I need to get the file name "test.doc" and save it in another variable. Thanks in advance.

  on vPath getFilenameFromPath
  oldDelim = the itemDelimiter
  itemDelimiter = the last char of the moviePath

  iFilename = the last element of vPath

  itemDelimiter = oldDelim

  return iFilename
  end

  Put that in a movie script. Then, you can call the function from anywhere, anytime
  to retrieve the last part of the path - like this:

  set getFilenameFromPath("C:\temp\test.doc")
  -"test.doc".

  As a bonus, it is cross-platform, so it does not work on a Mac as well
  as a PC.

• CWIMAQdx.GetAttribute failed to get attributes in the string or format U32.

  I'm reading all the attributes of a Gige camera. I can get the I64, F64 attributes and Boolean marker. But when the type is string or U32, the returned object "attribute" is "NULL". Can someone let me know what is wrong with my code?

  Thank you

  object attribute = new object();

  if(stype=="I64")

  {

  CWIMAQdx.GetAttribute (sid, attributeInformationArray [i]. Name, CWIMAQdx.ValueType.I64, out attribute);

  sValue = Convert.ToInt64 (attribute). ToString();

  }

  If (sType is "String")

  {

  CWIMAQdx.GetAttribute (sid, "attributeInformationArray [i]. Name', CWIMAQdx.ValueType.String, out attribute);

  sValue = Convert.ToString (attribute);

  }

  If (sType is "U32")

  {

  CWIMAQdx.GetAttribute (sid, "attributeInformationArray [i]. Name', CWIMAQdx.ValueType.U32, out attribute);

  sValue = Convert.ToUInt32 (attribute). ToString();

  }

  Is it just a coincidence that in your second two cases (you mentioned do not work) your code example seems to be passing the constant "attributeInformationArray [i]. Name"rather than the actual attribute name?

• REGEXP_REPLACE &gt; need to isolate only part of a string

  Hello world
  
  I hope someone can help me with this REGEXP_REPLACE building that I am on it for about 5 hours and I think I'm going crazy. :)
  
  So, I have a field in my DB that is populated by many lines like this:
  
  BREAKFAST 15: 00
  DINNER 30.00
  CITY TAX 1,50
  SPA 150.00
  
  
  It is an example.
  The field can be filled with this information, with lines, fewer lines, can be empty.
  
  What I have to do is to isolate only the price of the TOURIST tax. In this example, I need to get only the string "1.50'.» If the field is empty or if I don't have a line with tax, I need to go back to 0.
  
  My test is as follows:
  I made only one line and removed the spaces like this:
  
  Replace (replace (: RATE_PACKAGES, ' ', "), Chr (10),")
  
  Being the field of my DB RATE_PACKAGES that contain the information I need.
  
  With this replaces 2 I have: BREAKFAST15.00DINNER30.00CITYTAX1.50SPA150.00
  It's a bit ugly, but it seemed to me the best way to do it for me. :(
  
  And after that I did a single line without spaces, here's my REGEXP_REPLACE:
  
  regexp_replace (replace (replace (: RATE_PACKAGES, ' ', "), Chr (10),"), ' ([[: graph:]] *)([CITYTAX]) ([[: graph:]] {4})([[:graph:]]*)', '\3')
  
  I used [[: graph:]] * to exclude all printable characters from the string before tax then [[: graph:]] {4} to isolate the 4 characters (1.50) following the TOURIST tax and finally [[: graph:]] * yet to exclude all printable characters in the string that follows the price of the TOURIST tax.
  I'll be back only what I need with \3.
  
  This works perfectly if the TAX is the last line in the field = > ' 1.50'.»
  If there is something after, as in the example above, it returns = > 'PA15.
  
  I don't understand why. And there may be a simple way to proceed?
  
  I have tried several combinations in the REGEXP_REPLACE but I never get to get what I want. :(

• You are looking for a final part to a String

  I have problem in searching for names.
  I have the table from the list of contacts. in the table and the following data

  create table contact_list(id number(9), name varchar2(20), address varchar2(200), tel varchar2(20));
  insert into  contact_list values(1,'Dell corp.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(2,'GAC Egypt Ltd.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(3,'Muammar Ali Ahmed corp.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(4,'Fasail Mohmed.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(5,'MS London Ins.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(6,'Cairo university.','shah ','686910');
  insert into  contact_list values(7,'Daniel John company','shah ','686910');

  So, the problem when the user search for any contact name some time the name is the typo or spelling is not correct.
  to resolve this issue by using the SOUNDEX function... I tried to function SUB_STR to compare just the last part.
  

  select name from contact_list where  soundex(upper(trim(substr(name, instr(name,'' '',-1,1),length(name)))))=upper('LONDON');

  but this query compares the last part of the statement with "LONDON". Thus, the results have nothing because online no5 will compare Assur with "LONDON".
  
  
  what I need to compare the last part on instruction with ignoring the last part if there contains ".COM company or university or factory org or origination.
  
  or if you have another idea, let me know that.
