Manipulation of strange STRING_TO_TABLE/TABLE_TO_STRING colon (would be great if someone from the dev team could enlighten us...)
Hello
I was going to replace some of my old text, parsing code with these 2 functions (that I guess they are more effective and more elegant than my code), but I'll probably wait a while... at least until that specified. I wonder how these functions manage colones and if there are any other 'special' characters which has escaped or replaced. I can't find anywhere in the documentation that these two functions are supposed to escape from anything, so the behavior is quite surprising.
Here is the code:
DECLARE v_vc_arr2 apex_application_global.vc_arr2; v_vc2 VARCHAR2(100); BEGIN v_vc_arr2(1) := 'abc:123'; v_vc_arr2(2) := 'def:456'; --convert to string v_vc2 := apex_util.table_to_string(v_vc_arr2,','); dbms_output.put_line(v_vc2); --returns abc:123,def:456 (both colons are being escaped) but expected output would be abc:123,def:456 --convert back to an array v_vc_arr2 := apex_util.string_to_table (v_vc2, ','); FOR i IN 1..v_vc_arr2.count LOOP DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_vc_arr2(i)); /* --output is (: is unescaped only in one case) abc:123 def:456 --expected output would be abc:123 def:456 */ END LOOP; END;
Please, everyone has no explanation why semicolons sometimes are unescaped, sometimes not and why they escaped even? It would be really nice to read the source code for these two functions, because the behavior is a complete mystery to me.
Thank you very much
Pavel
Hi Pavel,
Sorry, I haven't read the entire thread. The string_to_table function does not cancel the replacement ":" in the last element. There is no other (UN-) escape. It has been like that since the beginning, and this is probably the reason why there are several string_to_table % and table_to_string % functions in wwv_flow_utilities, with a slightly different behavior. I added the functions split/join wwv_flow_utilities and we use these in the new code. We should really do new audiences in a press release, because they are healthier and more powerful.
Unfortunately, I have to repeat that any change to the existing public API functions could cause regressions, so we can not do this.
Kind regards
Christian

SatelliteA200 - 23 k - strange noise coming from the fan area
I have my model A200-23 laptop Toshiba PSAE6E for 1.5 years and I recently returned from service.
I sent there due to a nonfunctional key.All right, they changed the keyboard... but since I found, I have noticed some strange noises coming from the fan area...
The sound is not so strong, but it's pretty boring.
I cleaned using compressed air, but the sound has not disappeared.
It is still under warranty, but I don't think they would do something against this noise.The laptop works very well, it is not overheating or something, but I cannot get used to the noise.
Should Whatd I do?Hello
Hard to say what noise would that be
But if the laptop was removed by a technician of the ASP in the past, then you should get in touch with the same technicians again and have to explain your situation!
A screw has perhaps forgotten who knows
I think that the technician should take a new look on this laptopI wouldn't recommend open and disassemble the laptop yourself because you could void the warranty

Strange noise from the upper right of the Satellite A200-1 s 9
Hello
I've got Satellite A200-1 s 9.
Weird noise (yet loud) comes from the upper right corner, but only when shutdown and plugged.
What would it be?Thank you
Sorry, but it s really strange story
Several years ago, I noticed a sound quite high on my laptop.
I spend a lot of time looking for the reason and eventually, I discovered that the FL inverter created this strange sound piiiii.But that doesn t mean that your FL inverter causes this problem.
If you think that it is a hardware problem, it would be wise to check the machine.
This can be done by a technician for laptop -
Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store
I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):
(1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface
(2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)
(3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2
4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.
(5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2
They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.
If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?
We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.
Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

I would use Yuanti SC police for my web development project. However, my developer is not able to use the file .ttc I extracted from the library of fonts, and .ttf, .otf .woff formats not available anywhere on the web. Please, let me know how can I use this font for my project.
Thank you
Anton
Unless the site you develop is for the Asian market, I don't know why you want to use that particular font. The Basic, standard and digital alphabet punctuation glyphs has sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can use the font .ttf and .otf and web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so great. Pages should load quickly and 78 MB, with a value of faces to download for those who have connections slow Internet is not fast.
I would take a different font without serifs. There are literally thousands who look identical or virtually identical to Yuanti.
131 free and high quality without font serif to choose here. I'm sure you can find a desired.

I would like to hide or disable the close button (or to act as to minimize)
I want to make it harder for the closing of Firefox. I'm used to hitting Close when I finish what I'm doing. But I recently started to let Firefox to save passwords. Every time I start Firefox it ask the master password. I would avoid this problem by letting remain open but hidden. Old habits life hard, and I doubt if I'll learn not to hit families rather than minimize. It would also be useful if the X to close a tab does not appear when there is that one tab open, like hitting is another way to close Firefox by accident.
I came across an add-in for Outlook that makes the close button minimize instead of closing. (Keepoutlookrunning). I wonder if it could be adapted to work as well for Firefox.
As a secondary issue, when I start Firefox master password request does not come to the top immediately. Thus, forgetting that the application appears, start typing in the address bar or search. Arises from the request, and what I'm typing goes in his field of password to the place where I was typing. I think would br better if demand did not move to focus on herself.
Firefox will ask you the password the first time, he needs to access the password manager (form on the web page; Sync).
Try:
- Master password +: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password/

I can hope to avoid the laborious process of the reform of the names and addresses to send wishes and would simply copy the whole address list, I got BCC'ed last year. Unfortunately, Thunderbird seems to me to go one by one. Is there a way to copy all the recipients in the BCC'ed from the greetings by e-mail last year and paste them, in one shot, into the boxes of the BCC for greeting e-cards this year?
Generally, you use "Mailing Lists" to send an e-mail to a group of people or "Direct mail" to send an email to several people.
A fast method would be to locate the email you sent last year. It will be probably LURKING in a "sent" folder.
Right click on the email and choose 'change as new Message '.
This will open a new message of Scripture with all already inserted e-mail addresses. Change the message for this year, and then click Send. -
