• Removing spaces from a string

  I have a string where there is a particular sequence, I want to replace.

  The sequence is ' / p e r.

  I tried replaceAll ("-p e r," ""); Tried to replace the charsequence, but doesn't have too much work.

  I am able to replace / by replaceAll("\\\","")

  Somehow if I put string a = "/ p e r ' and

  a.Replace ("" p e r ", pr) then came out / pr.

  But I read this to a BLOB field and there spaces between the two string operations fail somehow.

  Can someone help me on this please. I'm stuck for some time

  Please also let me know if this isn't the right group, because I don't have an answer during my last post here

• Remove the spaces from the string

  Hello
  Does anyone have a simple routine/function to remove all but 1 space between "words" (row charactives no spaces).
  
  For example, I would convert the string (I used '.' as a 'space'):
  
  'This... too... a lot of people of spaces' to
  'This.has.too.many.spaces '.
  
  I need this to compare strings of registration where a user can hit the space bar one extra time or 2.
  
  Thanks in advance.

• delete a random amount of extra spaces from string

  Hello I'm a string input that sperates a table of data with an amount random spaces.

  Is it possible to replace all the sequences of space by space?

  for example

  CPU PID MEM

  15.689 12.2 6610

  21.8. 156-6611

  (if the spaces are random)

  I have ried replaces the double spaces with single spaces a total of 8 times in the list, but for some reason which is also (somewhat) deleting simple spaes as well and im not sure why.

  You can do this with a single search and replace String.  You must enable regular Expressions for this function (with the right button of the function, choose Regular Expression).  The regular Expression '+' (space followed by a sign +) will match one or more spaces - son from that in the search string.  Son of a single "" ((espace) space) in the replacement string, true Set "replace all", then run the function and it will replace all multiple spaces (from the current line) by a space.  If you want to manage several lines in the string, enable this option as well.

• Remove the unused characters from string

  Hi, I try to remove unused characters from a string, but I can't find a function for this.

  The string like: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0130 3130 3030 3030 3004 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000, I need the characters from 01 to 04.

  I need some advice.

  If the characters between the SOH and EOT had a NULL value, then Match Regular Expression can be a choice:

  Find \x01, find something else THAN \x04, then find \x04

• How to remove tabs, several spaces, quotes from data in the column.

  Hello

  How can we remove legs, several spaces, quotes from data in the column.

  Entry:

  H ope you 'are' Ingo w ell

  Output:

  H ope do you everything - there is a tab in hope and double-spaced in the well. This should be replaced by space. (Tab and multi spaces)

  I found myself with below:

  REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (Replace (col, Chr (9),' '), ' () {2,} ', ' '),'[' ""]', ")

  Can we do more efficiently, your contributions are appreciated.

  I tried

  REGEXP_REPLACE (col,'[^ [a - z, A - Z, 0-9, Chr (0) - Chr (127) [: Space:]]] *', ") but the tabs still exist and that my data have German characters I can't go along with this.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for your suggestion. In the above expression, we still missed to replace the double quotes.

  So thought we must use another regular expression instead of REPLACE.

  Select REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (' H ope you "are" d "Ingo ell w ',' [' |])) CHR (9) | + ',' '),'["" "]') twice;

  I suppose we must use at least 2 REGEXP to achieve and cannot get it with a single expression.

  Thank you

  Sorry, I removed single quotes, not double - quote.  (This shows one of the reasons why having a few lines of sample data is very useful).

  I think you don't need 2 separate functions.  I do not think that the two must be REGEXP_REPLACE; You can use TRANSLATE to remove both types of quotation marks in a single function call:

  TRANSLATE (REGEXP_REPLACE (col

  , '[ ' || CHR (9) | ']+'

  , ' '

  )

  , '?'''"',

  , '?'

  )

  Of course, you can use use REGEXP_REPLACE to remove the quotes, if you really want to.

  Powerful they are, regular expressions are basically only 1 thing, things not 2 or more different.  Sometimes, he can watch as they do several things, because they can operate on character classes, like the series containing the and the and a variable number of characters.  For example, the REGEXP_REPLACE function, I used above is simply changing expression expression x y, where x is 1 consecutive or more characters of a given set.  As we both demonstrated, we can have a separate function that changes from p to q, but I know not all built-in function which, in general, can change x to y at the time that it changes from p to q.  TRANSLATE comes close, but TRANSLATE only works if x, y, p and q are single (or NULL), characters not expressions.

• cut out the spaces from excel

  How to cut spaces from an Excel file? I would like to remove the spaces to the left of cell B2 to B & myData (myData is 12 857). I can't find the TRIM command in applescript Excel manual or the dictionary of Microsoft Excel.

  Trim() is an Excel function, then you might do this in Excel by creating a new column filled with TRIM() functions.

  If you want a solution based on AppleScript, that would involve using the AppleScript routines for handling text...

  In my humble OPINION, the path of Excel is more likely, especially if you are not familiar with AppleScript, but poster if you cannot work/find a way to do in AppleScript.

  If someone could please advise.

• Remove the extra space of a long document

  Hello

  I've seen a number of find/replace and GREP formulas to do similar things. I have NO scripting language or coding experience and have worked to understand GREP.

  So I'm a little afraid to use it because I don't know what all the modifiers call (I have a few neat GREP cheatsheets print as Mike Witherell I can absorb up to get a good reference)

  I need something I can copy and paste into find/replace or dialog GREP that will do the following in less than 12 steps (we hope) without doing something as catastrophic as the removal of all my paragraph marks (which I almost did with someones GREP expression)

  1. No space before a comma, period, exclamation point, question mark, colon, semicolon
  2. A space only after any of these
  3. A space before an opening parenthesis and a space after the closing parenthesis
  4. No space before the closing parenthesis or after the opening parenthesis
  5. Remove double or extra spaces (en, em, etc.)
  6. Remove comma before parentheses
  7. Remove all white space after a paragraph mark

  I think that's it

  I found this one recently (perhaps Jongware?)

  [~ m ~ > ~ f ~ | ~ S ~ s < ~/~,~3~4%] {2.

  From my limited understanding addresses em, in, flush and hair, space nonbreaking, space figure, third space - not sure of the rest. It's really way over my head.

  I know it will be a piece of cake for you guys

  Thank you

  I was hoping Jongware would come in with something really elegant (and maybe he'll still) but in the meantime, my approach would be to start by eliminating all multiple spaces except paragraph returns and forced line breaks. This appears to do:

  Find (\s)(\p{space_separator}|\t) + and replace it with $1

  This leaves the first space and will remove the following spaces to a line or a paragraph break (and not completely tested, but I guess that other kinds of breaks) is encountered, leaving the jump line or paragraph intact.  Note that this will destroy the tables built with tabs (as opposed to the 'real' tables) with several tabs between the items, and it does not alter a single space before a line or paragraph break.

  Then I would remove the whitesapce at the ends of paragraphs, etc.:

  Find (\s)(\n|\r) and repace with $2 seems to do, and it also seems to leave several returns (I don't know if you want to delete these) and work with the other breaks as well (again, not fully tested). The \s$ and replace it with nothing more simple, removes the first return to a sequence of two-back and seems to ignore e other types of breaks completely.

  At this stage avoid any several spaces other than possibly empty paragraphs. If you want to get rid of these, you can run find/replace list script by the integrated switchis refers to the single request of return in the dropdown, find/replace.

  So now you find the opening of single and double parentheses, square brackets or braces quotes and remove space after them, if it exists:

  Find ([\[\{\(~{~[])(\s) and replace it with $1

  and finally to remove any white space before your selected punctuation and the closure of the above case:

  Find (\s)([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]]) and replace it with $2

  The last two queries will probably also work with look-bhind for the first and to come to the second (putting classes in the expressions of the eyes) and repalcing with nothing, but I don't know which method is the most effective. The last request might also be missing a space and an apostrophe or mistakenly remove a space before a work that begins with an apostophe (again, not tested). and is ignoring straigh citations of any type, because they are ambdextrous and may want to space on each side.

  I hope that the forum does not spoil one of these phrases...
