Removes all characters except numbers
Hi all
I want to reformat to following phone numbers. As you can see it in what follows, I want to delete all characters except numbers and it does not start wirh 0 0 at the beginning of the f-number. And the length is 11. What do you recommend?
(543) 456-35-50 = > 05434563550
(555) 555-55-55 = > 05555555555
(210) 111-11 / 11 = > 02101111111
Thank you

To remove all characters except the 10 digits, you can use REGEXP_REPLACE
REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D')
To put a "0" at the beginning of the string (if it isn't already begin with a '0'), you can use REGEXP_REPLACE even once:
REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D')
, '^([^0])'
, "0\1".
)
I don't think that there is a way to do both things wih a single integrated function call.
There is a requirement on the length being 11? What happens if that comes into conflict with one of the other requirements? For example, if the string is already long of 11 characters, but does not begin with a '0', do you want to add a "0", which makes 12 characters? What happens if the length, after removing the numbers no, is very small, say 1? (You can use LPAD adds however many ' 0 s you need.) If the length (after removing the numbers) is 12 or more? What happens if the string does not contain any what numbers at all?
If these things are questions, then post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some examples of data, accurate results, you want that data, and explanations.

[basiljs] remove all pages except one
In a script, I create pages, export to PDF, remove pages and then create a new etc.
Right now I use this:
[code]
for (var j = b.pageCount (); j > 1; j-) {}
b.removePage (j);
}
[/ code]
But it's really slow. I think that indesign made many calculation after deleting a page (deadline: link textfields) so it would be more efficient to remove all pages at once.
Now my question is how do?
I tested and if I delete about 5500 empty pages with the script it takes about 8 minutes.
If I select all in indesign, and then delete it takes about 10 seconds.
Another way to speed up a litle is to erase all the content. It will take a long time but probably a bit faster.
Thing is that I have
b.Clear (b.doc ());
but this removes the master page as well and I need to keep the master page.
In short, how to remove all pages (except one since indesign needs a single page) at the same time?
Hello
I will remove a lot of pages in indesign with
- Use documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument (faster)
- use while loop or for
- Close doc without saving changes, and then open again. (in some cases)
Here's the test code, run with old Macbook Air + CS5 + OSX10.7
var pp = function (args) { $.writeln(args); } var remove_all_pages_use_pref = function (doc) { pp("start deleting (use preferences)"); $.hiresTimer; doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 1; pp("end deleting"); pp($.hiresTimer); } var remove_all_pages_use_loop = function (doc) { var i = doc.pages.length; pp("start deleting (while --)"); $.hiresTimer; while (i--) { if (i==1) {break;} doc.pages[i].remove(); } pp("end deleting"); pp($.hiresTimer); } function main() { var doc = app.documents.add(); $.hiresTimer; doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 5500; pp('# create 5500 pages'); pp($.hiresTimer); var indd = new File("~/Desktop/5500.indd"); doc.save(indd); pp("------------"); remove_all_pages_use_pref(doc); doc.close(SaveOptions.NO); pp("------------"); pp("# try another way"); var doc2 = app.open(indd); remove_all_pages_use_loop(doc2); doc2.close(SaveOptions.NO); } main();
result
# create 5500 pages 30395026 ------------ start deleting (use preferences) end deleting 28215999 ------------ # try another way start deleting (while --) end deleting 268641063

userChrome.CSS - remove all toolbars except front/rear, refresh and home
I need to configure firefox in almost-kiosk mode. I want to disable all toolbars except for the "back" button, next button, refresh and home buttons.
I did find something that allows you to hide the bookmarks toolbar. And if I keep at the entrance of #urlbar, front and rear buttons appear, but do not work (they're grayed out)?
That's what I have so far:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */ #searchbar { display: none; } #main-menubar { display: none; } #urlbar { display: none; }
You can hide the Bookmarks Toolbar window and customize with these identifiers:
#PersonalToolbar { display:none!important; } #CustomizeToolbarWindow { display:none!important; }
ID #personal - brand - pages is for the bookmarks toolbar item that can be placed on a toolbar through the window customize.
Try to drag the URL bar and search and other items that you hide in the toolbar palette.
It seems in the history of the button B/F run after a reboot.It is usually best to use the DOM Inspector to get the ID or class of items of toolbar names.

Function to remove special characters in a column.
Hi all
In one of my column, we get special characters, as well as others. The data are extracted and loaded through Informatica. We are not face any problem while loading into the target, but when we try to extract these data through the report, it fails with the error:
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character sets
When we check this column, we find the special characters. Initially, we have implemented logic with the CHR to replace these NULL values. But every time we get different values. To make the permanent solution, we decided to remove all characters except available on Board of the key.
Now, to this end, I need to write a function in Oracle's PL/SQL. I do not know more easy way from there to achieve. If I go with the CHR() function, I have to write for all these characters, which I think is not the right solution.
Enjoy, if someone can help me identify the function or the way to get there.
Thanks in advance.
Hello

It depends on your keyboard.
All that is on the keyboard you, something similar to this shoud work:
REGEXP_REPLACE (string_column
, '[^]0-9A-Za-z~!@#$%^&*()_+`={}| [\:";'' <>?,./-]'
)
This will return a copy of string_column, but with all the characters that are not not in the 2nd deleted argument.
[Inside the brackets, ']' must come first (immediately after the ' ^') and '-' must come last.

For example, use the REGEXP_REPLACE

I hope that answers your question.
If this isn't the case, please post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and the results desired from these data.
In the case of a DML (UPDATE), for example, the sample data should show what looks like the tables before the DML, and the results will be the content of the or the tables changed after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

Script to remove all rows from a table except the first
Please see the screenshots for the question/radio button I'm scripting. If 'No' is clicked, I want to delete all lines except the first. Therefore, if the first user clicks Yes, adds a bunch of lines and then click on no, I want all the extra lines should be deleted. I use the script below, but it removes only half of the lines at a time. I have to click No. 2 - 3 times to remove all the lines. Appreciate any help!
// remove extra rows that may have been added var rowCount = Page2.UserList.Table1._RowUserName.count; for (var i=0; i<rowCount; i++) { Page2.UserList.Table1._RowUserName.removeInstance(i); }

You can directly use the method setInstances of the instanceManager as follows:

How to remove all the drives except 0:0 "Computer1" and re - joining "computer2" all disks

Next, I would like to re - join these discs "computer2".

and the numbers are ignored when you perform the order in?
The number will not always be a length of 5 or 3, it varies.
Thanks for reading!Hello
You can ORDER WITH a copy of a name that has all the numbers removed, like this:
SELECT first_name FROM name GROUP BY first_name ORDER BY LTRIM ( TRANSLATE ( first_name , 'A0123456789' , 'A' ) ) ;
LTRIM removes all space that can occur at the beginning of the string after that the numbers are deleted. Spaces that occur elsewhere are not affected.
I hope that answers your question.
If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) and also publish outcomes from these data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
