Internal sorting/replacing characters
I have a column of scientific names that looks like this:
Canis lupus
Savin ARGeo (haguel)
Plumeria algers
I want to remove all the brackets and their content, so the finished product looks like this:
Canis lupus
ARGeo savin
Plumeria algers
However, I would first sort the column so that all the scientific names that includes parentheses are grouped. Then I can create a new column and a checkbox to indicate the values that previously contained in parentheses.
So I was just wondering if there is a way to 1) sort columns according to the different values of the special characters contain and 2) remove all parentheses and all that they contain. And I would add that the brackets attach all "haguel." There are a lot of different words between brackets.
Thank you.
You can do without sorting by following this example:
In the column A is the original name
B1 = SIERREUR (FIND ("(", A1), 0 "))
It's shorthand dethrone select cell B1 and type (or copy and paste it here) the formula:
SIERREUR = (FIND ("(", A1), 0 "))
C1 = IFERROR (Find (",") ", A1, start-pos), 0)
D1 = if (AND (C1 > 0 > 0, B1), (A1, B1−1) LEFT & RIGHT (A1, LEN (A1) −C1), A1)
Select cells B1 to D1, copy
Select cells B1 at the end of column D, dough
D column now contains the "corrected" names Select copy of column d.
now select the destination and use the menu item "Edition > paste formula results.

Formula to replace characters in a string
Hi all
Is it possible to replace characters in a string somewhere if the string has no specific pattern for these characters? I use the replacestr function to replace characters in a string (i.e. ABC), but the chain is in the ABC format * where * are two random characters. The result I'm looking for is to replace ABC * with the NodeID.
ReplaceStr (propvalue (Core.Abbrev), ABC, ID (), T),) This formula works, but is either two additional characters in the end, after ABC. How can I cut that?
Thank you
If)
Not (Equals (Integer, length (PropValue (Core.ABBREV)), length (ReplaceStr (PropValue (Core.ABBREV), ABC, T))),
ReplaceStr (PropValue (Core.Abbrev), PropValue (Core.Abbrev), ID (), T),
PropValue (Core.Abbrev)
)

Internal battery replacement for a 2000-361NR
Good evening
I'm a replacing the internal battery for my HP 2000-361NR. The external battery does not recognize that it is plugged. Does this mean I have to replace externally. I did diagnostics on it and it wont let me update the BIOS.
Thanks in advance!
Ah, so you get a battery error internal 601 at startup then tested battery Diagnostics UEFI which does not.
These errors are related and mean the same external battery of the device. Tests you have given show that he does not and must be replaced.
Make sure the internal battery 601 it's portable external battery turn off, remove the battery from the camera, then goot. The error should not appear.
Do you know if your laptop is still under warranty? If so, then you can contact the HP Support to get it replaced under warranty.
If not, a replacement battery may be purchased one a small shop, an online retailer like Amazon or HP.com directly.

Find and replace characters GREP
Hello
Is it possible to find and change a word (or a character style) at the end of each line of a text paragraph.
Is it possible to do it with a script?
My Scriptapp.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "italic";
myFind = myDoc.findGrep ();
for (i = 0; i < myFind.length; i ++) {}
myIndex = myFind [i] .paragraphs [-1].parentStory.characters [myFind [i] .index-1];myIndex.contents = SpecialCharacters.EM_SPACE;}But its finding all the italic styles and insert em space.I need to change only the ending of the character of the line Style ("Italic")Any help would be great.
Hurix
Hi Hurriz
To search for a font and style replace the following line
app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "Italic";
with
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Times New Roman\tItalic";
Separate the name of the font "Times New Roman" and the name "Italic" style and only with "\t".
Make sure that you spell and capitalize the names of police and style with precision
We could also use 2 lines instead of 1 if you're afraid of things like \t!
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Times New Roman"; app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Italic";
If you wanted to could put on the text cursor with the font type and style you are looking for and use
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = app.selection[0].appliedFont;
Which can be useful if you for some reason a problem getting the details of the correct font.
Hope that helps.

Replace characters in large tables
Hello
I have a lot of large tables to change:
replace 'AB' to 'C '.
and 'FROM' to 'F'
...
words to replace 10
I can do:
Update test set name = replace(nom,'AB','C');
In order to avoid to analyze the 10 times tables
I think that to use some sort of mapping table
'AB' = > 'C '.
'FROM' = > 'F'
...
How can I do?
Thanks in advance
11 GR 2Hello

Deal is good for that sort of thing. something like:update test set nom = case when instr(nom, 'AB') != 0 then replace(nom, 'AB', 'C') when instr(nom, 'DE') != 0 then replace(nom, 'DE', 'F') end;
John
But be careful; If the same line may contain two or more, or chains under source, CASE will replace one of them. Example of FAIR, if name = "DEXYAB", the increased above it change to "DEXYC", "FXYC". To change all or part of 10 hooks under source, you can use
- 10 expressions nested replace, as suggested, of Etbin
- MODEL (see Query SQL
- a WITH recursive (available in Oracle 11.2) clause or
- a user-defined function. That's what I generally use.

Why would you use a regular expression (cpu-crushing) here?
Looks like you can do it easily with the CASE:
SQL> create table t as
2 select 'F' col from dual union all
3 select 'R' from dual union all
4 select 'M' from dual union all
5 select null from dual union all
6 select 'M' from dual union all
7 select 'A' from dual union all
8 select 'B' from dual;
Table created.

replace characters in the string
Hi all
Is it possible to index the characters in a string as if it were a table and remove them from the second position and now. I just want with the first letter or number so that I can later concatenate strings to it.
Thanks for any help!
-Michael
Hi Michael,
Yes. Use the function "Sring subset. At the beginning the value 0 (default value) and the length of 1.
This will give you the first character in the string.

Replace characters does not?
Hi, I'm fairly new to APEX and think I'm stuck on a relatively minor issue, but does not operate.I have a page that prints a PDF document, and in the header of the PDF, it's variable printing is provided by the application, which is
Name - & P3_NAME.
Is it possible to either make a replacement or topping on it, i.e. something like
Name - replace (& P3_NAME., ' A 'B')
I tried different things and it either blocks the page, or print the statement above and does not run so that the variable is not displayed.
On the page, it goes 'attributes print' - 'header of the page.
Can anyone help, or have any ideas?
That is obviously not treat the string as a command from PL/SQL. So I suggest you to create an auxiliary element, for example:, a static assignment based on a PL/SQL Expression or a function that returns to REPLACE it ('& P3_NAME', 'A', 'B').
Then in the header, instead, you can refer to &.
Replace characters in a text field
Hello
I have a script to replace a carriage return in a text box.
The script does not work when run from the console.
Can any advise please how the script can be revised to find/replace a carriage return in a multi-line text box?
var t = this.getField("ActionAgenda").value;
t = t.replace("\r","") / / remove carriage return
Any help would be most appreciated.
Get the value of the field as a string
var t = getField("ActionAgenda").valueAsString;
Replace with nothing carriage returns
t = t.replace(/\r/g,""); "
The value of the field value string changed
getField("ActionAgenda").value = t;
There is a column to store the job numbers.
Now I want to sort this task numbers
For ex: suppose that the column contains the following values
10
10.1
10.2
10.1.1
10.3
10.12
These values should be classified as follows:
10
10.1
10.1.1
10.2
10.3
10.12
Functionally, we can describe these values as
10 is the parent task
10.1 is the first task of child 10
10.1.1 is the task of the child of 10.1
10.2 is the second child task of 10.
10.3 is the third child task of 10.
10.12 responsibility 12th child 10.
In the 10g version (and more), you can use regular expressions 'format' of these strings, like this:
WITH t AS (SELECT '10' col1
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT '10.1'
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT '10.2'
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT '10.1.1'
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT '10.3'
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT '10.12'
FROM dual
)
SELECT t.col1
FROM t
ORDER BY REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_REPLACE(t.col1, '([[:digit:]]+(\.|$))', '00\1'), '([[:digit:]]{3}(\.|$))|.', '\1')
;
COL1
------
10
10.1
10.1.1
10.2
10.3
10.12
If you want to know how regular expressions work, just take each function call and put it in the SELECT clause.

Is SQL * Loader capable of replacing characters during load?
HelloI have a table that is loaded into a DB Oracle with sql loader. Is it somehow possible to write a SPACE character instead of all the empty strings with the charger? I can illustrate what I need with this SQL code:
update my_table
set first_column = ' '
where first_column is null;
Any suggestions?Thank you!
my recommendation is to stop using SQL * LOADER and use of external tables, instead, it will give much better flexibility during the ETL and you do exactly what you ask
I have two tables of data I want to align. The two paintings have names of places. The format of the names in the two tables is similar, but slightly different.
for example.
Table 1: The Museum of life
Table2: Life, Museum of
My idea was to sort all characters in the string of two (while dropping whatever it is not alphanumeric and case sensitive) to harmonize the two.
for example.
The Museum of life-> EEEFFILMMOSUU
Life, the Museum of the-> EEEFFILMMOSUU
Only, I can't figure out a way to do it in Oracle. I imagine it would be possible to write a PL/SQL script, but before going into this, I thought I'd see if there is a built-in way to do what I'm trying to do, or maybe someone else has a better idea to do what I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks for any help and advice.
Strange, you cannot use my suggestion. Anyway, you don't need two functions. Just take advantage of associative arrays and eliminate the need for sorting:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 FUNCTION ordered_characters(
3 p_str VARCHAR2
4 )
5 RETURN VARCHAR2
6 IS
7 TYPE char_tbl_type IS TABLE of VARCHAR2(1)
8 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(10);
9 v_char_tbl char_tbl_type;
10 v_char VARCHAR2(1);
11 v_result VARCHAR2(4000);
12 v_idx VARCHAR2(10);
13 BEGIN
14 FOR i IN 1..nvl(length(p_str),0) LOOP
15 v_char := substr(p_str,i,1);
16 v_char_tbl(v_char || to_char(i,'0000')) := v_char;
17 END LOOP;
18 v_idx := v_char_tbl.FIRST;
19 FOR i IN 1..nvl(length(p_str),0) LOOP
20 v_result := v_result || v_char_tbl(v_idx);
21 v_idx := v_char_tbl.NEXT(v_idx);
22 END LOOP;
23 RETURN v_result;
24 END;
