Limit the number of characters returned in the report

Hello

I have a box where the user can enter 1024 characters as a summary, but to keep clean the report, I want to say so only say 64 characters are displayed. Sorry if this is a very simple question, I'm just getting started with APEX and SQL.

Hello AdamKross,

Try this:

select substr(the_field, 1, 64)
from the_table;

Hope this helps,
John

    You can achieve this by creating a new responsibility and exclude these concurrent programs of the Group requested that is attached to this new responsibility. Then assign the new responsibility of the user.

  • Is there a maximum number of characters with Dreamweaver search report?

    Hello

    I am trying to produce a text file for import in Textwrangler for further manipulation with the search of Dreamweaver functionality.

    I asked to find everything in a particular tag. However, in the report, the lines with the largest number of characters are not complete - it of like Dreamweaver indicates a fixed number of characters, and no more. Do you think this could be the case, and if so, is there something I can do?

  • Limit the number of characters returned

    Greetings,

    This should be simple, but I can't seem to find an answer.

    I have a query that returns more than one field to my database. One of the fields is a Memo field that may contain some text. I would like to initially display only 20 characters or so to the user. Question: How can I format the output to achieve?

  • In cascade LOVs (APEX 4.1) problem, using in the report does not define values

    Hello

    I use APEX 4.1.0.00.32 and I have a simple report as

    SQL :*

    SELECT * in the region
    Region WHERE the like '% "| P3_REGION | » %'
    and country like "%" | P3_COUNTRY | » %'
    and the city like '% "| P3_CITY | » %'

    Elements:*.

    P3_REGION:
    Select a separate region as d, r of the region of the region

    Display the Null value: YES
    Value null, display value: - Select -
    Return value of NULL: + 0 +.

    P3_COUNTRY:
    Select distinct country as d, r of the region of the country where region =: P3_REGION

    Display the Null value: YES
    Value null, display value: - Select -
    Return value of NULL: + 0 +.
    Cascading LOV Parent article (s): P3_REGION

    P3_CITY:

    Display the Null value: YES
    Value null, display value: - Select -
    Return value of NULL: + 0 +.
    Cascading LOV Parent article (s): P3_COUNTRY


    The LOVs work very well and the correct values are displayed if cascade through them

    So, I want to the last step to filter the report with the values that were selected in the lovs. And that I does not.
    I tried to add a button with the SUBMISSION of the page. After choosing values in all the LOVs and by clicking on the button SUBMIT page supports, alle LOVs are disabled (with value - select-) and the report shows all lines.
    I tried to change the "redirecting to Page 3" button and setting the values P3_REGION, P3_COUNTRY, P3_CITY P3_REGION., P3_COUNTRY. & P3_CITY. but without success.
    I tried to use the 'Page Action time value' parameter to 'Validate' or 'redirect and set' for all the element LOVs or only the last element LOV, but then the cascade of the LOVs is not working properly and the report does not change.

    I am confused as I Don t know what I can do so far. I think this should be a condition easy limit/filter the report with the values in the LOVs.
    In addition, it should be possible to choose only the LOV region and then limit the report with this region (not select country and city)

    Thanks in advance!

    I had a problem similar to a previous version, fixed when I updated element Source value or Expression (the section of the Source) to himself.

    I mean:
    for the P3_REGION, defined as & P3_REGION element.
    for the P3_COUNTRY, defined as & P3_COUNTRY element.
    for the P3_CITY, defined as & P3_CITY element.

    It will be useful.

  • Limit the number of characters on the Master Page?

    language: php

    Question: In regard to the master page, does anyone know how to limit the number of characters to display only 250 in Dreamweaver CS4?

    That is easily fixed. Use this custom instead of the function:

    function extractChars($text, $chars = 250) {
         if (strlen($text) < $chars) {
              return $text;
         } else {
              $pos = strpos($text, ' ', $chars);
              return substr($text, 0, $pos) . '...';
         }
    }
    

    Put this function definition in your page and use it like this:

    echo extractChars($row_recordsetName['fieldName']);
    

    If the text is less than 250 characters, you will have just the full text. If it is more than 250, you get the shortcut text.

    The function has an optional second argument, which determines the number of characters you want to use as a boundary. So, if you want only the first hundred, follow these steps:

    echo extractChars($row_recordsetName['fieldName'], 100);
    
  • How you can limit the number of characters in a string attribute?

    I'm trying to fix a limit on the amount of characters that can be introduced to a string attribute.

    I saw that you can do when the user changes the web using regex mode, but how you can specify a maximum length when the user is in the form view that this currently replace the regex used in the tag on the inside: edit

    Thanks in advance,

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    You can use the output of the editor boxes TEXTFIELD attribute.

    Just create a new attribute with the following configuration editor in the XLM:

    You can manage the size-> XSIZE and maximum number of characters-> MAXCHARS.

    I hope it helps.

  • {{description}} Limit the number of characters

    Legacy code, in a web application, you could use{tag_description,number of characters} to limit the description to the first X amount of characters.

    Is there a way to do this with the Liquid tag {{description}}?

    As a note I tried {{description,100}}. It rendered the content but all of it, not the first 100 characters.

    The truncate filter will do the job:{{ description | truncate 100,"..." }} (docs)

  • Limit the number of characters in a text based on the first digit field

    Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

    I want to limit the amount of characters in the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is limited to a number format... no decimals, no comma).

    For example, if the number starts with a 3, I would limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could start with code and what is the best place to add (key combination or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!

    I wrote this code for you that does this. Use it as a typo of the custom field code:

    // Validate that only digits are entered
    if (event.change) {
        event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
    }
    
    // Validate string length if it starts with 3
    if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
        event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
        if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
    }
    

    You can duplicate the second part of it for additional terms, but keep in mind that this code won't let you even remove the first character in the field if the result is not valid.

    For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the beginning because that would result in a number not valid. You can delete all the other numbers, even if and when it is 10 digits or less, then you can remove the departure "2" as well.

  • Coding - returns the number of characters in a text box.

    I am trying to create an animation/simulation of cellular phone on board animate CC for use in a course of Captivate. In fact, when a user clicks on the number keys on the virtual keyboard, it displays the numbers in a text box, just as a real cell phone will display the phone number on the screen as a caller to connect. Thus, the user must click seven buttons and a seven-digit phone number is displayed on the screen of the virtual phone.  This part of my animation works fine and all seven digits appear, but I want to change the code so that a hyphen appears after that the third button clicked. In this way, the output looks like better a phone number instead of just a string of seven digits.

    Here is an example of the code that I currently assigned to the #2 in the virtual keyboard button:

    var text = sym.$("PhoneNum").html ();

    text = text + 2;

    SYM.$("PhoneNum").html (Text);

    PhoneNum is the name of my text box on the stage where the numbers appear as a click is performed on every key on the keyboard.

    To incorporate the hyphen after the third button clicked, I need to return the number of characters in the text PhoneNum sort box, then create an if/else scenario that applies the hyphen after the third button clicked.

    Anyone know how I can use JavaScript or jQuery to return the number of characters currently in the text box PhoneNum ?

    SYM. $("PhoneNum") .text () .length;

  • Limit the maximum number of characters per line in the TextField, help please

    Hello Livecycle designers!

    It would be great if you could help me with the following problem. I have a TextField with 5 lines (limit of the viewable area and the exact height) and I want to limit the maximum number of characters per line up to 10 (as well as the total in this field at 50, but I'm able to do with the option "time limit, max characters").

    As far as I know can be done only by the script so if you change that I wrote:

    lines of the var = xfa.event.newText.toString().split('\n');

    i = Lines.Length,
    maxChar = "10";

    If {(maxChar)
    While (I--> 0) {}
    If (rows [i] .length == maxChar) {}
    XFA. Event.change = "\n";
    }
    }
    }

    and actually who works very well when instead of '\n' in the 1st line, I put any character (e.g. ' |' and I won't pretend that ' |' is my new \n).

    So the main problem is to split the text entered by the user in lines (the '\n' is unfortunately not working). So the solution to this problem would somehow split my Textbox in lines (in table) after the user presses ENTER.

    I'd appreciate any help here, so if you have just 2 minutes of your time, please help me.

    Hello

    I have rebuild your idea... that is the result.

    var Input = xfa.event.fullText;

    var FullLength = Input.length;

    var SplitLength = 10

    var SplitParts = Math.ceil(FullLength / SplitLength)

    var JoinString = "";

     

    for (var i = 0; i)<= splitparts;="">

    {

    SplitString = Input.substring (0, SplitLength);

    Entry = Input.replace (SplitString, "");

    JoinString = JoinString + SplitString + "\u000a";

    }

    xfa.resolveNode("Textfield2").rawValue = JoinString;

  • Can I limit the number of lines of text entered into a TextArea?

    Hello

    I use Flex Builder 2 to create an application that allows users to enter text in different TextAreas and eventually create a PDF file with their different text. My only problem is that I can't limit the number of lines of text used in each text box. I can limit characters by using maxChar, but this does not take into account a user entering multiple presses "return" - this does not affect the character limit, but can result in the final PDF layout (spitting the text on page 2).

    Is there a way to keep track and limit the number of lines of text in a text box (in Flex 2)?

    (Ideally I won't disable the ability for users to use the 'back' button to create several paragraphs)

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Does anyone know if you are limited in the number of characters in the text field?

    I have the scrolling text of the distant rear side right up to the edge on the left front. I only get to halfway through the message of full text and letters are mixed at the any end. is there a limit on the number of characters I can use? Is there a setting a limitation I can increase?

    It seems to be. I figured it at approximately 16000 characters more or less (or even lower). (Estimated from the original character TextEdit limit as it seems to be this type of core service text text handling in movement and FCPX.)  I drew this conclusion during the development of a method to create a movement subtitles. It finally turned out that I had to cut the scripts into pieces 'chapter of size' to keep the character countdown. I never got to finish this tutorial and it has been quite some time now (and I can't not find my notes on the subject). It could be that the number of characters estimated is actually lower.

    There is no way to reset the limit.
