  It's test string with special characters

  Please enter the code

  Thank you

  You have commas in the character set block and the [[: alnum:]] is equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9], you may want to include a space in this updated chacter block.

  Select REGEXP_REPLACE ("This is test * strin #g to @ spe % ial charact!") ERS ',' [^ [: alnum:]] *', ")

  of the double

  Output

  It's test string with blue characters

  EDIT: I do not know what will want the characters allow the OP. For example, a comma, question mark, comma, colon, apostrophe, full stop etc. are all valid in a sentence.

• Special characters in sql

  Hello

  I had a question about the escaping special characters in Oracle. Let's say I have a table column that contains data like '% _Tester % '. I ideally if we do a select on this table, it would be something like

  Select * from table where column like '% \_TEST%' escape ' \'

  However, when I run this query on sql developer

  Select * from table where column like 'TEST %', it returns the same result. (without exhaust the character special _.)

  I was just wondering, if this is because default sqldeveloper escapes special characters? or do we still have to write the leak as a good practice?

  Thank you!

  Ryan

  Lines that are LIKE 'TEST %' will include all lines that are LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'. If all lines which that interest you conform to the mask, they will also appear when you perform the first. You can have records that correspond to the first but not the second, although:

  SQL > create table testdata until

  SELECT 'ABCTESTXYZ' val double UNION ALL

  SELECT "AB_TESTXYZ" FROM double

  Table created.

  SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'

  VAL

  ----------

  AB_TESTXYZ

  1 selected line.

  SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '% TEST % '.

  VAL

  ----------

  ABCTESTXYZ

  AB_TESTXYZ

  2 selected lines.

• Replacing special characters with its actual value

  Hi all
  
  Anyone have an idea how to replace an extended character (ASCII ranging from 128 to 255 value) for its actual character set in SQL/PLSQL?
  
  For example: '½' should be replaced on a "1/2".
  '¼' should be replaced with "1/4"
  
  Ultimately if the value is "California 71 ½" then the result should be "California 71 1/2". "."
  
  Thanks for your time!
  
  Kind regards

  REPLACE the function?

  SQL> select replace('California 71 ½', '½', '1/2') from dual;

  Thank you

  Ok. Wasn't sure. Thank you for that clarification.

  .. .but please make an attempt with XMLTABLE XMLQUERY, XMLCAST (or CAST) and other XML functions that support XQuery and not to use the engine of 'old '... I hope that these features will keep things as it should...

  .. .If not... create an SR with support of Oracle on this issue. Changes, if you base your SR on these 'old' operators XML/SQL and functions that are her will not be able to help, mainly due to the fact that your last version and stuff like EXTRACT / getStringVal() etc. are announced officially discouraged in this 11.2.0.2.0 version. As far as I know the t.xmldata.extract, the xml_type.extract and the other syntaxes, outlaw count of 10.1 (although I know, he appealed to java / OO people kind).

• Replace special characters in the FDF

  Hello

  I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer to this simple problem.  I can handle javascript in an HTML environment using free scripts, but it is not so easy in a PDF form.  I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I have a form that once completed and submitted, generates and sends a FDF file.  I use a script on the server side, called FormGenie do this and the script hate parentheses and some other characters, they break the FDF file.  Everything I want to do is set up a document level Javascript that find and replace all instances of these special characters with something license as a hyphen - or just a space.

  I tried:

  function clearText() {}
  document. FormName.FieldName.Value = filterNum (document. FormName.FieldName.value)

  function filterNum (str) {}
  re = /\$|#|~|\%|\*|\^|\(|\)|\+|\=|\[|\]|\[|\}|\{|\;|\"|\<|\>|\?| \|| \\|\!| \$/g;
  remove special characters as ' $' and ',' etc...
  return str.replace (re, "-");
  }
  }

  and

  function clearText2 (str) {}

  stringName = stringName.replace (/------$| #| ~ |------% |------* |------^ | \(|\) |--------+ |------= |------[|------] |------[{|------} |------{|------; |------"|"}]) ------< | ------> | \ ? | \|| \\|\!| \$ /g,'-');
  }

  I know that these are not good, but I have to be at least barking to the top of the tree on the right.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  You create the form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

  In general, you can place a script typo in the script of the text of each filter field field hit, in the case where something replacing the user typed with something else would not cause the concern of the user. An alternative would be to be implemented a script that parses the fields just before the submission form action takes place and not to replace them.

  For example, you can use the following JavaScript typo customized for text fields created in Acrobat:

  If (! event.willCommit) {}

  Event.change = event.change.replace (/ [------$# ~ %------*------*------^ \ (\)------+=------[\]------{\};------"\<\>\?]) \ | \\\ !] /g, "-");

  }

  and it will replace these characters when the user types the data into a text field. May not include all the character you want replaced, but you should get the idea.

• Replacing special characters

  I have a page with a javascript tip which is fed with elements of a database query. Some of the results have special characters that my with the javascript syntax, in fact only 3 of them.
  
  Single quote, double quote and------.
  
  If I set & #34; in the database, it displays as a double in the ToolTip without problem, so what I want to do is to replace all occurrences of "with & #34;" and even with the others. The------should be replaced by------to view. I find it hard to do... any suggestions would be helpful... Here's my current attempt...
  
  < cfset temp = Replace (tester.loc_notes, ' "',' & #34;', 'ALL'") >
  
  Thank you

  If these quotes are displayed to the user, use " ", " or HTMLEditFormat().

  It is difficult to be more precise, unless you attach the code in question.

• What happened to search for and replace special characters

  I'm a recent update of FrameMaker 9 FrameMaker 11. I use several notations with nonbreaking hyphens and nonbreaking spaces. In version 9, I was able to use the hexadecimal codes in the Find/Replace dialog box and search and replace these ratings. Now in version 11, it does not find these characters. I end up getting more I want.

  For example: I want to find

  (E Vote, September 12, 2008)

  This text has a non-breaking hyphen and showing spaces are nonbreaking. When I entered the document these characters, I used the combination of keys "Esc hyphen:" for the hyphen and "Ctrl + space" for spaces.

  When I enter "(E\x15Vote\x10Sept.\x1012,\x102008)" and press the button Search, FrameMaker converts the text to "(E\+Vote\s#Sept.\s#12,\s#2008)" and refers to a "Not Found" statement. I get the error even if I copy the text and paste it into the Find/Replace dialog box. I tried with "Deal", "use wildcards" and whole-word checks both market. I can't find it.

  Honestly, I never noticed if verstion 9A made the conversion of \x15 to------+ and dialog of \x10 to \s#, in the search/replace because he always found what I was looking for.

  I hope someone can tell me how to solve this problem, because it is a feature I use all the time in FrameMaker. I use hyphens and nonbreaking spaces everywhere in my documents.

  I also reported this as a bug because that's what happens if feels like to me. I went out and updated my installation of FrameMaker, thinking that this may have been reported and already corrected.

  A sad FrameMaker user

  Chris

  I'm not sure that's what you're looking for, but you might.

  Copy your text ' E-voting, September 12, 2008'.

  Go to Find/replace

  Select text and character Formats Clipboard from the drop-down

  Click on Search.

• Replace special characters in a string

  Let's say that someone copies the list as follows and the glue in a Javascript dialog box:

  302304

  305678

  245675

  How do I manipulate the string so that it reads:

  302304 305678 245675

  In other words, how to replace manual line breaks in a string with spaces?

  Thank you!

  It's the cleanest method that you are looking for:

  /[\n\r]/
  

  In this case, even a simple \s would work, but it's maybe not what the OP...

• Replacing special characters when writing to a file

  I use the following to replace Muñoz (n with null).  It should produce as Muoz.

  This should be simple, but it does not work.  209 and 241 represent the upper and the lower case n.

  This statement is a CFFILE.  I'm generating the file but the n is still there.

  Replace (LGL_NM, Chr (209) & chr (241),'3 ', 'all')

• Special characters could not load DB via SQL * MORE

  Hi, I have a pl as .accidentally sets sql script which will insert data in database. The question is there are some records are missing and these missing records contains a special character: Sansao and Strasse. The strange was if I run the script via F5 (Toad), all data can be inserted successfully but run through SQL * MORE (Toad), all records that contain special characters are not inserted.

  Anyone here know why it didn't load these special characters via SQL * MORE?

  Probably because you have given unicode (multi byte charsets) you read with a customer of standard single-byte character set.

  It's SILLY to loading data using SQL * more. It's the wrong tool used for loading the data. It does not support the bind variable. It doesn't support liaison in bulk. It does not support direct path inserts. It is not SQL * Loader.

  I'm testing with CLOB, but I don't know if I can REPLACE on CLOB and write a file with the CLOB.

  REPLACEMENT work, UTL_FILE doesn't.

  You can use, for example:

  DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file (l_tmp_clob, 'TEST_ATTACH', 'TEST_VIKS1108062013115301.xml');
