replace characters in the string

Hi all

Is it possible to index the characters in a string as if it were a table and remove them from the second position and now. I just want with the first letter or number so that I can later concatenate strings to it.

Thanks for any help!

-Michael

Hi Michael,

Yes. Use the function "Sring subset. At the beginning the value 0 (default value) and the length of 1.

This will give you the first character in the string.

  • Formula to replace characters in a string

    Hi all

    Is it possible to replace characters in a string somewhere if the string has no specific pattern for these characters? I use the replacestr function to replace characters in a string (i.e. ABC), but the chain is in the ABC format * where * are two random characters. The result I'm looking for is to replace ABC * with the NodeID.

    ReplaceStr (propvalue (Core.Abbrev), ABC, ID (), T),) This formula works, but is either two additional characters in the end, after ABC. How can I cut that?

  • REGEXP_REPLACE problem with special characters in the string

    Hi guys,.

    I have had problems using the REGEXP_REPLACE function and I'm trying to find a solution.

    The closest I can get is this thread:

    Re: How to replace the first occurrence of a substring

    and that's only because the solution, I'm trying to achieve is the one suggested. I did ppost my problem there, but because it is answered, I don't have an answer.

    I'm doing the following:
    select 
      regexp_replace('A*|A*|C11|A1|A*||_|OR|H452|C40|A|A*||_|AA|1151|G31|A1|A||_|EX|8HI01|H11|A1|A||_|OCR|H421|B11|A|||_|OR|H434|C11|A|||_|AQA|9990|E10|EP|||_|AA|2151|G31|A|||_|',
      '^(\w|-)*\|{1}',null)
    from dual
    Basically, replace it does not work, because the first part of the string contains an asterisk. If you delete the Asterix, then replace it won't work.

    How can I get around this? I can't use a regular REPLACEMENT as I want to remove the first instance of A * and not all instances of the A.

    Help, please! I don't know what to do... probably, I mustn't start a loop through the string?

    Thanks in advance guys!

    To decode your regular expression, it seems that you want to remove A * | and not just A *.

  • REGEXP_REPLACE to add characters in the string

    Hi all

    How to add characters between the sctring?

    I have a string "1A24B67IO" and you want to convert to "1a 2 - 4B - 67IO.

    I tried to use the REGEXP_REPLACE function, but not able to do.

    Hello

    As you have not given the logic behind it... I guess you must insert - so much that even the example you provided.

    With T as
    (
    select '1A24B67IO' col_val from dual
    )
    --
    --End of sample data
    --
    select regexp_replace(col_val,'([[:alnum:]]{3})([[:alnum:]]{2})([[:alnum:]]{4})','\1-\2-\3') from t
    /

  • by replacing. with \. in the string

    Hello guys

    I'm doing this script to work

    There is no environmental variable called removeip and there multiple IP addresses in it... e. g

    Event Manager environment removeip 172.17.1.0 172.17.100.0 172.31.8.0

    I use these addresses one by one in another script in regexp and so I need

    to replace points by------. So it will match correctly.

    Event Manager applet rd
    event no synchronization No.
    set action 010 string $removeip
    020 action updates $string
    030 string first action "."$string"
    040 set index action $_string_result
    050 action updates $index
    action string 060 replace '$string' $index $index '-.»
    070 action updates $string

    but action 060 let me use $index, it only accepts that the numbers - so it's useless in this form for me.

    Can you please show a way around it in applet?

    Thank you

    Some things are better suited for Tcl.  It would be good to see your overall solution / problem such that there could be a better way to solve the system.

    However, you can use regexp to rebuild your IPs as you wish.

    foreach ip $removeip

    RegExp "^ ([0-9] +)------." ([0-9]+)\. ([0 - 9.] (+)"$ip match o1 o2 rest

    RegExp "^ ([0-9] +)------." ([0-9] +) ' $rest match o3 o4

    escip the value "$o1\.$o2\.$o3\.$o4".

  • Add control characters of the string without full control update

    Hello

    I want to have a chain of control where the text has different colors (like DockLight fx).

    What I CAN do now, writes a string with several lines to a control of the chain.

    Then format each line in a different color.

    But it fails so when I want to add a new text, with a new color.

    When I update the chain control, all previous formatting is crushed, and all lines have the same color.

    I want to be able to:

    Add string1 with blue color.

    Add string2 with green color

    Add string3 with red color

    etc.

    Is this possible?

  • How to remove the first 11 characters of a string

    With the help of ' XML Publusher Desktop / generator model for Word / 5.6 Build 45'

    I use XML Publisher. With the help of a RTF model, to generate purchase orders by email of the purchase of the Oracle.

    The fields are drawn from the XML code generated by Oracle.

    One of the fields is the place of delivery Description field.

    Will appear in the report as follows:

    * & lt;? SHIP_TO_LOCATION_NAME? & gt; *

    When I attach a test XML file in Word and view the output, one of my test case returns a description of the site:

    DON'T code USE County Hall of Global location

    What I have to do is to remove the * DO NOT USE * according to the description of the location.

    I could do is a Find / Replace, or a substring to ignore the first 11 characters from the string. But I don't know how to do it.

    Any help would be much appreciated, because it is a production problem that is causing a bit of a small problem for us!

    Thank you very much.

  • VISA read lose characters beyond the end of the output string

    Hello

    I wrote a VI to take a string of output data of an ardunio Uno and analysand. I use the vi read Visa to enter the output channel of the unit. In the end I will connect a device that actually gives the value in this type of format string: (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0 *).

    So after a large number of loops, the program starts to drop the last characters of the string that it generates. If the string of Visa Read output reads something like (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,). The only way to solve this problem, once it has occurred must completely close labview (completely). Once I open again and start the program running, all is well in the world.

    Has anyone had this problem? I tried to debug it in different ways and the only weird symptom I have other Visa Read function lose a few characters of the string is the fact that by looking at the bytes to the Port after I read visa, is that she starts showing five bytes instead of zero.

    my last attempt at resolving this issue is attached.

    Note: The Ardunio outputs a string of this format every 2 seconds with the values being incrimental on a specified range. (80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0 # *)

    You can configure the * your character of termination if your Arduino does not send the carriage return or line feed.  Use the configure a Serial Port to ensure that your settings are correct.  You can also use this VI to increase your timeout so that you no longer need your waiting.
