Hello

UPDATE to modify existing rows in a table
REPLACE to delete a given sub - a to a string.

UPDATE     tech_sourcing_employee_details
SET     address     = REPLACE (address, '"')
WHERE     INSTR (address, '"')         > 0          -- Maybe
;

This will remove all the quotes of the address.
If you want to remove the quotes only from the beginning and the end of the string, then use TRIM instead of REPLACE:

UPDATE     tech_sourcing_employee_details
SET     address     = TRIM ('"' FROM address)
WHERE     INSTR (address, '"')         > 0          -- Maybe
;

The WHERE clause is only for effectiveness.
So, whenever the column contains quotes, of the double quotation mark is always the first character in the string, then you can change the WHERE clause to:

WHERE     address  LIKE '"%'
{code}

    I can't get the format to have a number between 1 and 99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].

  • help with search and replace the script please

    Hi all

    I wrote a javascript that uses various find/change GREP and text to copy text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the head of the race and feet), and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do. If I was doing a search/replace manual (with nothing selected) it would automatically choose the first para in the first text box, but when I run the following:

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + $» ;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo ="";
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep ();

    It is all the records and removes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to remove the first paragraph, then again to remove the other (first new) paragraph. My JS skills are weak, but I'm very uncomfortable with GREP. Can someone point me in the right direction for how I achieve what I want? If I made a loop for surely I would just do the same thing but more than once!

    Much to my surprise the rest of the script works even if it hurts my brain!

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Iain

    The command 'changeGrep' is a 'change everything' - there is no equivalent of the buttons "change, following" and "find next".

    Normally, all that is necessary is to remove the first paragraph of a story asset is the following:

    myStory.paragraphs [0] .remove ();

    (and I'm sure you can work, because you are already copying him) but just for fun, you can try this solution Pure GREP:

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\A.*\r";

    Once again replacing it with nothing.

    (It is preferable to use the function 'delete', however).

  • RegExp search and replace, keep the formatting of the original text

    And to retain the original formatting of the text block.

    How is it possible?

    Bad example-, it converts all the text formatting to the format of the first character:

    var reg = /a/gmi;
    var replacer = '*';
    var fr = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
    fr.contents = fr.contents.replace (reg , replacer);

    Thank you!

    I has not yet been tested your code.

    But why you did not play with my code snippet, use something like this:

    // regex_changeContentsOfWordOrString_RemainFormatting.jsx
    // regards pixxxel schubser
    var s = /arguments/gi;
    var replacer = "other string", result;
    var atf = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
    
    while (result = s.exec(atf.contents)) {
        try {
            aCon = atf.characters[result.index];
            aCon.length = result[0].length;
            aCon.contents = replacer;
            } catch (e) {};
        }

  • Find and replace the delimited string value by the

    Hi all

    I have a requirement where I need to find and replace the delimited string values.

    For example, the string is "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~FEB-13~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~". The 4th column gives the month and year. I need to replace it with the name of the previous month. For example: "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~JAN-13~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~". I need to do the same thing for the past 12 months.

    I thought initially divide the values and store it in a variable and then after him substituting the value required, join the return.

    I just wanted to know if there is a better way to do it?

    Like this:

    with a model like

    (select "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ FEB-13 ~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ $ ~ NULL ~' double UNION ALL data")

    Select ' GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ JAN-13 ~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~' double data)

    Select

    REPLACE (DATA, TO_CHAR (to_date (substr (data, 16.6), "MON-RRRR"), 'MON - RR'), TO_CHAR (to_date (substr (data, 16.6), "MON-RRRR")-1, 'MON - RR'))

    modeling;

    GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ JAN-13 ~ CREDITS ~ HAS ~ N ~ US ~ NOTHING ~

  • Search and replace text in multiple columns

    I have a document with 4 columns that repeat throughout the document in different lines. I would like to find and replace text for all 4 columns at the same time.  I tried a number of special characters between my column information but still can't seem to find the line.  I've included an example below of the appearance of my lines.  I would like to find and replace the first line and the third row.

    Header 1 Header 2 Header 3 Header 4
    onebcd

    onebcd

    Here is the special character combos, I tried:

    a ^ Mb ^ Mc ^ Md

    a ^? b ^ > c ^? d

    Thoughts?

    You can only select entire flood, copy it and select each time the raw and paste. There is no simple method to detect the sequence of the fields in a table.
