• Extracting columns with non-English characters?

  Hello
  
  I have a query using SQL Developer on a table that contains several names of companies from different countries, and is one of the controls I should do to ensure consistency of data to find all the rows that the company name contains special or non-English characters (such as c, a, as example).
  
  I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to gather using NLS_SORT, but it did not work.
  
  Is there a way to select only the lines that contain these special characters or non-English, excluding the results the lines containing only English characters? Please have in mind that we have a lot of languages in this table.
  
  The area that I would like to make the conditions is VARCHAR2.
  
  Please let me know if there is any additional information I should give you so that you can help me.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help.
  
  Kind regards
  Luis

  Just list all characters that or not special for you, use something like

  with test as
  (
  select 'Behringer Harvard Eldridge Venture, LLC' txt from dual
  union select 'Behringer Harvard Redwood, LLC' from dual
  union select 'Behringer Harvard Lovers Lane Venture I, LLC' from dual
  union select 'Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent KansOK, LLC' from dual
  union select 'AB JÄRNBJÖRNEN' from dual
  union select 'FRONTBILAR I GÖTEBORG AB' from dual
  union select 'ARANDA HERMANOS MUEBLERÍA, S.A. DE C.V.' from dual
  )
  select *
  from test
  where translate( txt, chr(0) || 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789.,- ', chr(0) ) is not null

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

  For a formula of the column in the response criteria tab:

  SUBSTRING ("YourPresTable". "YourPresColumn" OF 9)

  

  To make the RPD and the workload of shipping off the coast to the database rather than forcing the work on the server of the OBI or presentation:

  Substring ("01 - Sample App Data (ORCL)" ".." ") "" "BISAMPLE '." " D10 product (dynamic table)". ("' Prod_Dsc ' 9)

• Download text files with non-English characters

  I use an Apex page to download text files. Can I retrieve the contents of the wwv_flow_files.blob_content files and convert them into varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but the characters like o, to, u become garbage.
  
  What could be the problem? Characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when I do the conversion?
  
  Some other info:
  * I don't see wwv_flow_files. DAD_CHARSET has the value 'ascii', wwv_flow_files. FILE_CHARSET is null.
  * Try utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2 (utl_raw.cast_to_raw ('aoeu')) returns "aoeu" correctly;
  * NLS_CHARACTERSET setting is AL32UTF8 (not only English ASCII)

• The analysis of the non-numeric characters in a string

  Hello

  I am communicating a robot to LabVIEW (2013) via TCP/IP and sockets. The robot is the server, and LV is the customer.

  I start with the target data in this format (in a string):

  "[0 ~ 100 ~ 0] ~ [0.96593 ~-0.25882 ~ 0 ~ 0] ~ [1 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0] ~ [150 ~ 50]."

  [X, Y, Z], [Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4], [C1, C4, C6, Cx], [TCPVel, OrientVel] except replacement ',' (comma) with a ' ~ ' (tilde) because I load the target data in a spreadsheet which is a comma-delimited file.

  In LV, I take this string, the analysis of the chain and split individual items. I then pulled the singular elements as unique, 32-bit of real numbers. I take each one and convert them individually to a string, concatenate them and send them to the robot. The robot decompresses these raw bytes individually and converts them to a target of robot (position in space).

  I train (BT) check if the user has sent a bad character (non-digital) in the target data. Example of this is:

  [- 50 ~-150 ~ 0] ~ [0.96593 ~-0 ] [B2has5D882 ~ 0 ~ 0] ~ [1 ~-1 ~ 0 ~ 0] ~ [150 ~ 50]

  Now in BT, when I'm scanning the chain, these bad character becomes the entire element to zero and everything else then to zero as well. See attachment for example screen similar.

  My question is, my VI, I can analyze all non-numeric characters (that are inside the parentheses and characters that are NOT a ' ~ ' (tilde))? In this way, I can always get this item numbers and do not have this element or other items turn to zero?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Sorry for the question of the test

• How to remove the second English language of languages?

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)

  I'm in the Canada.

  Normally, I have in my computer 2 languages: English (canada) and second language (Russia) by default.

  My location is defined in the Canada, my language for programs no Unicode (system locale) is set to Russian (Russia)

  I use a keyboard shortcut to switch between 2 languages - 1 click, language switched.

  After a few windows recent patch added itself - ESL English (US).

  This additional English does NOT appear in languages - only in the window of the small toolbar. I can't remove it.

  Here is the screenshot of how it looks: http://postimg.org/image/3kfe5hhyb/

  Now switch between languages takes 2 clicks - to scroll through the additional English.

  Someone help please, how to remove it? (I think not that go back to a previous version of windows is a good idea IMHO)

  OK, I think I thought about her.

  So, apparently now English (US) is always the default input language and it can not be removed - it will ALWAYS be there. So if you are Canadian, nevermind, delete your own Canadian English or suffer 2 identical English keyboards.

  It's really nice of microsoft to make.

  in any case, I had to remove English (canada) to solve my problem.

• Remove the file name characters when exporting to file

  Hi all

  I worked with Silly-V , which has been extremely useful in creating a script to automate creating files in Illustrator.

  What I need help with now is the ability to add in this script, the ability to remove "x #" character of a filename on export. This would be ideal, as it will completely automate what I did by hand for months.

  The current script, that we have put in place takes generally, which would take me about 1 minute per file and it has reduced to 10 seconds. Translate this in the whole of the need to treat roughly 800-1 000 files, and you can see where the time invested is decreased significantly.

  The last piece of the puzzle is the removal of characters from ONE of the two files that are created through this script.

  First of all, this is the current script. It seems to work perfectly for what I ask it to do.

  I found the program Name Mangler done an exceptional job of the completion of the task of renaming. Here's a screenshot of what I'm asking for looks like with this program.

  

  My ultimate goal is to be able to integrate this unique Name Mangler feature the existing script I posted above. Now, the problem is that I need ONLY to assign the file created by the section of the lines 66-71. As you can see, I need to remove the file name starting at the index of 14 characters.

  Is it possible and something that anyone can help with?

  Thank you in advance!

  This one has a new parameter "charsOffStart" that you have to stick in your two-functions for the economy, and it will be lop however much from character now!

• How to remove the first few characters of a string of liquid

  I would like to delete the first three characters of a string of liquid. The question is how.

  If I use the markup according to liquid when I know what are the first characters

  {{it. {{["Estate status'] | strip_html | remove_first:"11."}}

  It will remove the 11 characters.

  But if I don't know what are the first characters, this markup can I use to get "RID" of the first three characters?

  I tried 'split' and 'slice', but it must always know what characters to split or slice.

  Thanks for any help.

  Kind regards

  Carla

  Assign a value into slices and you can have table data that you can get out.

• Return of the Non-numeric characters

  Hi all
  
  IM using Oracle 11 g 2. Here is my sample data and I want to search for the string has non-numeric characters in it.
  

  with t as
  (
  select '123' val from dual
  union
  select ' 123' val from dual
  union
  select '1123' val from dual
  union
  select 'A123' val from dual
  union
  select 'x 123' val from dual
  union
  select '#123' val from dual
  )
  select val from t
  where regexp_like (val, '[[:alpha:]|[:blank:]|#]')

  Query works perfectly for result value but would break if another string, say 123 @', with a special character comes. There is therefore no format specifier (as we [: alpha:], [: digit :]) to directly identify the non-digit character, including the space in a string?]) If not what is the round job for her?
  
  Thank you
  Vivek

• Function DEFINITION, remove the chain alpha characters

  I'm on 11g.
  
  I need to remove the alpha of a string characters, leaving only numbers, but I get unexpected results:
  SQL > SELECT TRANSLATE ('3N', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', NULL) a FROM DUAL;
  A
  -
  
  I thought that this would leave 3 of the 3N, but it returns an empty string. For my application, the string "3N" could be any length, will contain only letters and numbers and letters will always come at the end, but there might be more than one letter
  VALID INPUT samples:
  4
  25
  11F
  361NG
  8ABC
  
  Is there a better way?

  You must give a valid replacement at least, and then the rest will be replaced with null as the address:

  SELECT TRANSLATE('3N', '1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '1') a FROM DUAL;
