Regular expression to remove a single carriage return character

Hi all

What is the regular expression to remove only one character to return to a text string. I have something like this:

1

(two returns)

2

and I want to delete only one of the characters turn it over so I'll go

1
2 (one after the other

I know / r but ot deletes all of the text string.

Thanks a lot for any help

Try something like:
(in my message window):
s = "a" & RETURN & RETURN & "two".
placed s
l = [s]
put re_replace (l, "(?)")<=\r)\r", "g",="">
Place the [1]
(exit):
-"a".

two ".
-1
-"a".
two ".

I don't know how effective the situation described above could be for research, but
You can also try:
put re_replace (l, "\r\r", "g", RETURN)
or:
put re_replace (l, "\r{2"}, "g", RETURN)
However, these last 2 only work in the situation where there
exactly 2 returns you want to replace with a single DECLARATION - the first
replaces any number of multiple returns with one RETURN

It is possibly more effective than the first - it will replace again
all multiple with a single; but it will unnecessarily replace one
RETURN character with one character in RETURN - but I'm not a regular expression
Expert:
put re_replace (l, "\r+", "g", RETURN)

    Hello

    We don't know what you want.  This site seems to be formatting your message in a weird way.

    As the statement

    SELECT «...» "THE DOUBLE;

    without formatting, to show your entry and after the exact output desired friom as, with as little in shape as possible.  It might be useful if you use some character like ~ instead of spaces (just for viewing; we will find a solution that works for spaces).

    To remove the text which consists of spaces and nothing else between the tags, you can say

    REGEXP_REPLACE (str

    , '> +<>

    , '><>

    )

    How is this string generated?  Maybe there is an easier and more effective way to keep the bad wrtings sub off the chain in the first place.

    I'm relatively new to using regular Expressions, but am in need who will help me find all the tags < a... > with space immediately after this tag and replace it with the exact same tag, but not space after the tag < a... >.

    Thus, for example, a regular expression that there is:

    as well as:

    "< a href =" # "MM_swapImgRestore" onmouseover = "MM_swapImage (' sub-nav_button_professional_portal',", ' images/sub-nav_button_ professional_portal_f2.png', 1 ') "> Somelink < /a >

  • Ability to add the carriage return character

    Hi all

    I have to add the characters return at the end of each paragraph.  I found insertTextAsContent (using: {String |}) SpecialCharacters} ( position: XMLElementPosition), but do not know how to use this function. I think that in this method only accepts the position as an XML element.

    How to use this feature to accomplish my task?

    you could do: string = "\r";

    \r is a carriage return, and \n is a newline

  • FDK: Problem with line breaks / carriage returns

    Hello


    I met a strange problem with strings when you use the FrameMaker API. We have a FAPI customer who translated documents FM reading in their content, by replacing their text by the new translated text and in return the change in writing.

    However, I found that some strings are starting with a \r (carriage return) character, when we read in and when we write their return, they begin with \r\n, which moves text to the bottom line, and can break things as references etc. I don't know exactly why this is happening, we are using Visual C++ and we do a lot of conversions between classes CString and StringT types so maybe this conversion process are to do.

    To be honest, I find the appearance of newlines and carriage returns in the frame channels somewhat odd frame API breaks up the text of a paragraph into fragments for you anyway, so I would have thought that the use of these characters is redundant. That's a big assumption however so correct me if I'm wrong.

    We have implemented a work around by which our program strips newlines off channels before writing their return

    but in reality, what we really need to undress returns to the main line of strings, before starts the printable text in a string.

    I wonder what others have to say about this WRT its security approach. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

    Eric

    Eric,

    I did a little greater experimentation, based on my previous comments (sorry, should have done that before I clicked on the Post before.)  When I programmatically add a \r one paragraph, I don't see no effect in page layout. This is consistent with my suspicions so far. I really think that, maybe, these characters are misleading and should be removed from the beginning.

  • Including a carriage return when you write in a single register using Modbus

    I use a NI USB to RS - 232 to connect with a Watlow EZ-Zone PM controller using Modbus Protocol and will have bad to write a value (set temperature) to the controller.  I got when reading registry values, so I know that my settings are correct.  I also checked this using a program of Test of Modbus Watlow provides.  Using this program, it became clear to me that a carriage return is necessary after the numeric value.  MB series query writing Master only allows a value of U16.  How can I include a carriage return?

    A statement like that makes me think that she's not speaking modbus.

    Run their program during execution of something like Portmon.

    Then compare the data sent back with the modbus specification.

  • CFFILE READ xml file removes the carriage returns

    When I use CFFILE to READ a XML file (in order to get to the XMLPARSE step), it deletes all the outside between the carriage returns.

    My simple order of action CFFILE = 'read' file variable = "" #tempFile # "="XMLData"results, of course, in the XMLDATA variable." When I've got CFOUTPUT this value, all the transport returns have disappeared.

    In the original raw XML file, there is a section as such:

    < inspection_comment comment_type = '0' > missing tag.

    Channelled to the rear. d < / inspection_comment >

    In other words, there are in fact two combinations of chr (13) chr (10).  Yet, after the CFFILE READING, I find myself with

    Missing tag. Channelled to the rear. (d)

    and no carriage returns whatsoever.   It is a natural phenomenon, because it is an XML file, or I just don't hold my tongue right?

    Thank you!  RLS

  • Remove the carriage returns

    I'm trying to import a 8 column .csv file into my database column 7A unfortunately a carriage return at the end that causes CF raise error, 'Incorrect number of columns.

    How can I get rid of the carriage returns when importing?

    I suppose that, by using the parameter "name" you try to treat the file as a query. That's why you get the error. You might be better to try to treat it as a block of text.

    Get rid of the name and the content of the file will be in the CFHTTP variable. FileContent. You will need to develop a function to browse the file and analyze the content. Each record has a CR in column 7, for example, could you retrieve each record by searching every second CR. Then you treat as a list delimited by commas.

  • Replace or remove all single line breaks in a Blob

    Hello

    I want to remove/replace all new simple lines (NOT the carriage return / new line) in a BLOB.

    I tried to convert the BLOB in a clob, and then replace all occurrences of new lines of simple with the function replace (for example replace (clob, 10),)
    I even cut the clob into small pieces of varchar2 and tried to apply the function replace etc., but without success!

    I'd be happy if someone could give me a tip how I could fix this problem.

    I use
    Request 4.1.0.00.32 Express on
    Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0 - 64 bit)

    Thank you
    Johnny

    Johnny Be Good wrote:
    Hi Paul,.

    the answer to your first question is simple. I use a blob instead of a clob object because I download a file (csv) using an element "Browse file".
    The file is then stored in FLOWS_FILES. WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ (wwv_flow_files) that stores the file in a blob (blob_content) column.

    What to do now is to store the contents of the BLOB to a file in a directory in order to to use as an external file.
    After this, I question the external file and merge the contents into a normal table within the database.

    The problem I have now is that sometimes downloaded csv files have 'broken data sets' in the way that a line (a single dataset), which was divided into
    two or more rows (with a single line break at the end of each line instead of a carriagereturn/linefeed to the normal lines).
    Sometimes, when the lines matching/data sets contain a very large text (e.g. 3000 characters) in a single column and MS excel (the tool used to record the original excel in csv file) can not handle this long texts of a column and breaks the content of a line into multiple lines in a cell.

    However, I need to "Break" the broken data sets in the blob downloaded by removing (or replace) single line breaks, which are an indication of a split data set.

    In view of this process. I converted to CLOB BLOB when the file is extracted from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES, remove the EPA of the problem, and then write in the file system as a CLOB.

    I tried to do by converting the BLOB in a clob, for example with this function:

    A function like this is reinventing the wheel. 10g comes with dbms_lob.convertToClob (see above).

    And after conversion, trying to replace all the occurrences of single line within this clob breaks, for example with this code:

    l_clob := replaceClob(l_clob,chr(10),' ');
    

    Who will replace all the LFs, whether or not they are in CR/LF pairs. Use regexp_replace/regular expressions to exclude EPA following a CR (see above).

    "Without success" means, that the line breaks have not been replaced. I tried several ways as delete (replace without a third parameter and the corresponding function), replacement (for example with a white) etc. !

    I even tried to apply the function of standard replacement for varchars on a clob that I read somewhere that it is supported in 10g and apex 4.1 but with the same result.

    I think that you have been making life difficult for yourself. Everything that seems to involve more (ineffective) writing code as necessary. Everything you need is built into 10g (it seems that you could use the obsolete references?)

    I hope I could explain the question a bit better now and would appreciate it if you had a starting point for me.

    Should have what you need in the above examples.
