Remove characters from a field

Hello

What is the syntax to remove "" go around a field value?

Will that eliminate the 3 series of ' ' value? (as in "'' value' '")

Thank you

A select statement, the "regexp_replace" works perfectly.

When I try to do an update, I get an 'incorrect table name' error - with or without the apostrophes...

I couldn't get the first to work at all.

the script;

UPDATE

SET "FIELDHEADING' = regexp_replace ('FIELDHEADING', ' ^ (" "" ")(.*) (" "" ") $', '\2')

It is not at all what you're trying to reach. What is FIELDHEADING? What is a column? If so, it doesn't take much quotes in DML. See doc UPDATE: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/statements_10008.htm#i2067715

Display all such information as described in the article "How to ask questions" is the best way to get issues resolved.

The regexp_replace works as follows:

The first argument is the string to match.

The second is the regular expression, the string is compared to.

The third argument has the value will replace the first string substrings that match the regular expression.

^ - indicates the beginning of the string
$ - indicates the end of the string
. -matches any character
* - means zero or more instances of the previous item
() - items in groups.

If ' ^ ("" "")(.*) ("" "") $"matches all of the first chain - all characters - if it starts and ends with groups of 3 quotes.

\2 - is a reference back, referring to the groups in the regular expression in the order, so \2 means in this case (. *): all the characters between the quotes groups.

All correspondence to the rational expression is replaced with the 2nd element in the expression.

Takes more time to explain what to write... :-)

    A normal 'substring' is what you're looking for.

  • Remove users from UDF attribute of unique values present in the flat file

    Hello
    I'm trying to remove users from the IOM by using a single value of one of the present of the UDF in the flat file for example say SSN. I preferred the approach to go through a scheduled task to remove users from IOM. I know that the permanent deletion of IOM through the database is not possible. To have written a custom code to do the same thing and I have used the tcuseroperationintf.deleteuser(long...) method. But I had a straight and simple query for the same thing. Should what value I contact in the long appropriate field in the list of the attributes of this method?

    Any guidance on this task would be appreciate.

  • How to remove photos from my iphone6s after their importation?

    How to remove photos from my iphone6s after their importation?

    Hello KConstant,

    I understand that you're looking to remove photos from your iPhone, after you import the to your Mac. It depends largely on how the images are imported into your Mac.

    If you use iCloud photo library, remove photos from your iPhone, after they have synched to the Photos on your Mac afterwards would remove these photos on your Mac as well, like iCloud photo library is designed to synchronize your iPhone with iCloud and Mac.

    However, if you are importing photos via the USB port of the Photos app, you should be prompted to delete pictures from your device once the import is complete:

    Once the import is complete, a message asks if you want to delete or keep the photos on your device. Click on remove items to remove photos or click on keep items to keep them on the device.

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201302

    You can also (it not allowed you iCloud photo library on your iPhone), you can use the image capture on your Mac app to delete images from your iPhone. This can also be useful to remove the last images that have already been imported into the Photos on your Mac. Once you have selected the images you want in the Image Capture, you can click on the prohibitive red symbol () to delete the selected items.

  • How to remove Photos from the iPhone/iPad/iCloud and no pictures

    How to take a photo with my iPhone/iPad, allow it to synchronize with Photos on my Mac via iCoud, then delete from my iPhone/iPad/iCloud and removes any Photos on Mac? I want to save the photo on your computer and save space on small devices?

    I keep seeing articles on the iCloud market turn but it seems the photos all return on the devices once restarted. I want to iCloud on use as a conduit to get the photos to my computer, not as a large storage space. I want the Photos app on my Mac where all the photos are filled and stored and choose those which is left each device.

    Right now they are all in the pictures on the Mac, but I'm worried if I remove it from my iPhone/iPad that they will disappear from Photos on the Mac. I don't understand the new Photos app with all the missing features of iPhoto.

    Thank you!

    You can not that's not how works iCloud photo library - it is not a conduit but a total synchronization service whose entire raison d'etre is to keep libraries connected identical - all changes made on any device (addition, deletion or modification) are made on all devices. For devices with limited memory, using optimized photos

    If this isn't what you want then use another service - USB import, iTunes sync, MyPhotoStream for example each do different things and everyone can move photos from one device to another

    And Photos lack a lot of features iPhoto form - in fact much more features than iPhoto including iCloud library there like a bigger and better editing capability and better external editing capability and so on

  • How to remove photos from a photo stream on the iPhone, but keep them on Mac?

    Hello world

    I tried to find the answer to my question in the FAQ, but so far I've failed. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me.

    I have an iPhone (5s) and a MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015). I have not activated the iCloud photo library, but I use the photo gallery on both devices. Because I often take pictures with my phone, I'm running out of memory space on my phone.

    In regards to this and photo stream feature, I have several questions:

    1. If I want to make more room on my iPhone, I have to delete some pictures. Assuming that I do this, these pictures are deleted from my Mac after 30 days?

    2. How can I remove photos from my iPhone without deleting them from my Mac (because I turned on the feature of photo stream)?

    3. If I import the photos from my iPhone in the Photos App on my Mac (when it is connected to my Mac with a USB cable), they are 'safe '?

    I hope that my questions are understandable and I would appreciate all the help I can get.

    Thanks to all and best wishes,

    Lars

    1. no - as long as you have allowed MyPhotoStream to import photos - if they have not been imported yet then they will be gone

    2. after importation of pictures you can delete them from the iPhone, and they will remain in Photos of the moments / pictures

    3 - Yes - but if you import several times, you will have duplicates - you should use USB or PHM import

  • How to remove photos from my computer to my Iphone 6.

    Hello I have imported digital SLR photos to my computer then to my iPhone 6, photos are able to be consulted, but the delete option is not there.

    I connected my phone to my pc to try and remove them through the MY COMPUTER tab, but the only pictures that appear are those who is on my CAMERA ROLL.

    I have a 64 GB 6 iPhone and photos take up more space. Any help would be amazing.

    Hi mulatto5o,

    I understand that you have synchronized the photos on your iPhone, and now you want to remove them. I know it's important to have control over your data, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

    When the photos are synced from your computer to your iPhone, you must use iTunes to delete again. To do this, follow the same steps you did to synchronize, but uncheck the option Synchronize the Photos :

    12 iTunes for Windows: Add photos to iPod, iPhone or iPad

    Remove photos from your iPhone

    1. Connect your device to your computer.

    2. Click on the button of the device, and then click pictures.

    3. Uncheck "synchronize photos from".

    4. Click on apply

    If these photos are no longer on your computer, or if these steps do not work for you, try the steps here:

    Delete pictures and videos synced from iTunes when you can not access the originals - Apple Support

    To remove synced photos from a computer which is accessible:

    1. Create a folder on the computer that you now synchronize with and add a single photo in this folder.
    2. On the Photos tab in iTunes, click on the box next to "Sync Photos since.
    3. In the dropdown next to "Sync Photos From" menu, choose the folder that you created in step 1.
    4. Apply the change.
    5. Uncheck "synchronize Photos from".
    6. Reapply the change.
    7. Sync photos are removed from the device.
