• Use instr to search for multiple values

  Hello
  
  My version of Oracle DB is 10.2.0
  
  I have a file of text separated by delimiters. The text file has 14 columns, and in each column, I have to check the presence of the following
  RV, RV, RV, GV, GV, GV.
  
  The sample file contains the following
  
  51151111; 28.18.11; 14711119; 512-GV; 821949,39; 1223,21; 471,49; 821197,29; ABC; 1; 27.18.11; 13
  
  
  The following code is for the search for GV
  

   FUNCTION FUNC_FIND_GV   (p_str IN  VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
     AS
           l_gv_pos NUMBER ;
           begin
           l_gv_pos := INSTR(p_str, 'GV') ;
           RETURN l_gv_pos ;
  
     EXCEPTION
        WHEN OTHERS THEN
         l_gv_pos := 0;
      RETURN l_gv_pos 
     END FUNC_FIND_GV ;

  How can I search for other cases?

  Hello

  You can use regular expresssions to find one a |-at the same time delimited list.
  For example:

  SELECT  REGEXP_INSTR ( p_str
                 , '(RV|RV-|RV/|GV|GV-|GV/)'
                 )          AS match_pos
  FROM     ...
  ;
  

  It is unnecessary to search for one of the 'RV', 'RV' - and ' RV /'; hot for just 'RV' will give the same results. However, it does no harm real, so if you build the list ' RV | RV | RV / | GV | GV | GV /' dynamically, so you don't have to check for duplicates.

  I hope that answers your question.
  If this isn't the case, post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some examples of data and the results desired from these data.

• How to use the find method to search for multiple items in a single paragraph?

  I'm desigining a script to find all instances where ctrl + b and ctrl + i are applied to body text and then replace the format of these characters replaced with chartag italic or bold.  Here's what the script is supposed to do:

  1. put the find method in a while loop that overrides seeks format character.
  2. If a substitution of format character is found, pass the text range returned by the find method and the CharPropsChange flag in the GetTextForRange method.
  3. Use a Boolean comparison between the idata of the text element to the angle of character and character constant weight.
  4. What that is the boolean is set to true, and then use the SetTextProp method to set the properties of the text range for the italic or bold character tag properties.

  This script works on the substitution of format first character found however it ignores other substitutions in the same paragraph. The cause of this is that the while loop updated the line of text control used by the find method for the following paragraph in the stream. I think I need to add an inner loop that runs through all the text in a single paragraph, where teaching iteration the loc text used by the find method is based on the same paragraph, but the offset is changed. I don't know how to do this.

  function removeOverrides (RPSC)

  {

  var vDocStart = pDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

  var vBoldFmt = getCharFmt (RPSC, "Bold")

  var vItalicFmt = getCharFmt (RPSC, 'Italic')

  initFA_errno ();

  While (FA_errno is constant .FE_Success)

  {

  var vTextLoc = new TextLoc(vDocStart,0);

  var vFindParams = findOverrideParams (CDRP);

  var vTextRange = pDoc.Find (vTextLoc, vFindParams);

  If (vTextRange.beg.obj.ObjectValid ())

  {

  var vTextItems = pDoc.GetTextForRange (vTextRange, Constants.FTI_CharPropsChange)

  If (vTextItems.length ==! 0)

  {

  If (vTextItems [0] .idata == constant .FTF_WEIGHT)

  {

  pDoc.SetTextProps (vTextRange, vBoldFmt.GetProps ())

  }

  If (vTextItems [0] .idata == constant .FTF_ANGLE)

  {

  pDoc.SetTextProps (vTextRange, vItalicFmt.GetProps ())

  }

  } else (Log (vLogFileName, ' \nERROR: none of the items were found in the table in text format but alternative size were found: ' + pDoc.Name))

  }

  vDocStart = vDocStart.NextPgfInFlow;

  }

  }

  function findOverrideParams (RPSC)

  {

  var vFindParams = AllocatePropVals (1);

  vFindParams [0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindObject;

  vFindParams [0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer;

  vFindParams [0].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_FindCharacterFormatOverride;

  Return vFindParams;

  }

  Another approach (which is what I usually did) is after the first search to set vTextLoc = vTextRange.end

  Whatever it is, you might consider moving your initialization of vTextLoc and vFindParams outside the while loop. The settings do not change, why redefine them for each search?

• How to url using NOT IN (NIN) IR filter for multiple values?

  Apex 5.0.1 (but should work for Apex 4.2)

  I want to set a url with an IR filter using the filter NOT IN. For example, to get a filter that says: status not in (3,4)

  To do this, we can use the url IRNIN_STATUS parameter.

  This method works. Problem is how can I set multiple values in the url?

  IRNIN_STATUS:3, 4 will give a filter 'status not in (3) '

  4 is interpreted as the following for the next parameter value, even if there is no additional parameters.

  Find / remember the solution:

  We can add the backslashes to values to distinguish them from others.

  IRNIN_STATUS:\3, 4

• Struggling to search for multiple files

  Hello

  I'm fighting to search / select multiple files.

  This is my workflow:

  I have 2 computers, one is used for all image manipulations using a combination of LR & PS and the other computer is used for the sales presentation using ProSelect.

  Once I'm done with my post production I export images to my computer for presentation for sale to the JPG file format.

  After the sale I want to then be able to star the images that they have purchased on my computer to post production. Currently I did this manually, even if time can not too bad when you're talking about only 20 images. However, this does not work for weddings by looking at images of 150-200.

  That's what I tried. I made an export of the names of files in ProSelect. I then removed the suffix .jpg for example. In Lightroom, I the filter bar, text, select all text, Contains searchabe and then paste it into the list of file names. After a while, he'll come back and say no images found or it may come with only the 1st image in the list. I tried several combinations of formatting of the list of file names and none seem to work spaces, commas, semicolons, each file name in «»

  If anyone can help me in this regard, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  Tony

  The list of files must be separated by spaces or commas - you copy and paste from a list in which they are separated by line breaks.  I have tried in my own 5.6 LR (Mac), and when the file names are separated by spaces, it works, but not when separated by line breaks.

• Search for a value in a field in a subform before allowing a user to add a new Instance

  Configuration of the form:

  Name of the page = page 1

  1 subform in Page1 = Info (fixed to slur)

  Objects in the subform Info: name (textfield) and Email (textfield)

  I also have a 2nd subform within Page 1, which contains a button instance add

  What I'm doing:

  
  

  1. the user must enter their name and E-mail address, then click 'Add a button to the Instance' to create a new instance of the subform Info : _Info.addInstance (1);

  2. If the user does not enter an e-mail address, I want there to be a message box this info the user address of e-mail is required before, he or she can create a new instance. Note: would be nice if the slider is set to foucs on the email in this particular instance of subform field.

  3. as long as the user tries to add an instance, he or she will be refused if they are not an email in this case

  4. If the user has an e-mail address in this instance, then the script will create adds a new instance

  5. the process should continue in this way for each, each instance button click Add

  I presume that it nees to be a loop and perhaps a scipt for somExpression, but I'm not sure.

  Here's what I have so far (see below)... The script works for the first instance on the page, but this does not prevent instances to be created when the email in the 'current' instance field is empty. I want to prevent the user to add new instances if the email field is balnk in this "current instance. So, I guess I don't know how ot test a field in the current instance in a repeating subform.

  var VNAME = Info.somExpression + ".email";

  var vEmail = xfa.resolveNode (VNAME) .rawValue;

  if (vEmail == null)

  {

  xfa.host.messageBox ("Please enter an email address.");

  }

  else {

  Form._info.addInstance (1);

  var i = Form._Info.count 1;

  xfa.host.setFocus (xfa.resolveNode ("Info [" + i + "].")) Name')); This set is the focus of the cursor in the name field in the newly created subform

  }

  Please advise and thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Try something like;

  var lastRow = Form.resolveNode ("Info [" +(_Info.count-1) + "]"); Get the last row

  If (lastRow.Email.isNull) / / if the email field empty

  {

  xfa.host.messageBox ("Please enter an email address.");

  }

  on the other

  {

  newRow var = _Info.addInstance ();

  xfa.host.setFocus (newRow.Name.somExpression); set the focus to the field name on the line has been added

  }

• engaging multiple values to a text field for a button

  I have a form that has several buttons that uses the items.push (command/script/EC) that you have to put some text in a text field.  People are asking now that they can put several selections from the button in the field.  Can someone point me in the right direction, or suggest a way to do it?

  I have attached a screenshot.  I clicked the button on the left to view features of the buttons and right I already have something of the key and he was placed in the text field.  I would like to be able to place several things in the field of the key even if possible.

  You could change the code to:

  If {(response)

  Get a reference to the text field

  var f = getField ("competency");

  Add the selected value field, separated by a carriage return (except if the field is empty)

  f.Value = f.value? f.Value + "\r" + elements [answer]: [answer] points;

  } else {}

  App.Alert ("You have not selected an element.", 1);

• Can I link multiple field values in a single field?

  Here's the scenario: I have a form with 2 pages.  On the first page, there are three fields for the first, middle and last name of a person.  On the second page, there is a field that only says: 'name '.  I want the user to fill in the fields name, middle and field 'name' on the second page reflects the three fields on the first page.  How can I accomplish this?

  Add the script side client to the event calculate on the name field on page 2 to concatenate the fields name of page 1. For JavaScript, something like this:

  this.rawValue = form1.page1.subform1.firstName.rawValue + "" + form1.page1.subform1.lastName.rawValue;

• Left join of the two tables and multiple values into a single value separated by commas

  Hello

  I have following tables with their structures and their data as below.

  These two tables have left join as

  now I want to have the data in the two tables with fields Curepress, Lastpcirim, typeidcontainer.

  Also something like

  Make a group of typeidcontainer if this value is greater than 1 by press separated the values of semicolon (;)

  So, for example above, we should be given as

  A24 PMC 15; PENSKY-MARTENS

  A25 15 PMC

  A26 15 PMC

  A27 16 (NULL)

  A28 16 (NULL)

  A31 16 (NULL)

  A32 16 BFC2-V; V BFC3

  A33 16 (NULL)

  A34 16 (NULL)

  How could do?

  My current request is as

  Select distinct Curepress, lastpcirim, typeidcontainer

  BETMASTER STD left join INF BETINFO

  on the trim (STD. CUREPRESS) = substr (trim (INF. CURRENTPRESS), 1, 3)

  but I am unable to get the values separated by commas.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Mahesh.

  Hi, Mahesh,

  If you want to only 1 row of output for each distinct combination of currentpress and lastpcirim?  This sounds like a job for GROUP BY.

  And you want the row to contain a list of all different typidcontainers-delimited?  This sounds like a job for the aggregate LISTAGG function.

  WITH joined_data AS

  (

  SELECT DISTINCT

  MST.curepress, mst.lastpcirim, inf.typeidcontainer

  OF betmaster STD

  LEFT JOIN betinfo ON TRIM (mst.curepress) inf = SUBSTR (TRIM (inf.currentpress)

  1

  3

  )

  )

  SELECT curepress, lastpcirim

  LISTAGG (typeidcontainer, ',')

  THE Group (ORDER BY typeidcontainer) AS container_list

  OF joined_data

  Curepress GROUP, lastpcirim

  ;

  Unfortunately, you can't say LISTAGG (DISTINCT ...), so you should always get the separate containers how you already are.  (Note that the subquery is just what you posted).

  Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; It is very useful.  Don't forget to tell what version of Oracle you are using.  LISTAGG was new in Oracle 11.2.

  Why not add CHECK constraints (and perhaps triggers) to your tables, so that curepress and currentpress are not stored with the head or trailing spaces?  Then you wouldn't need to use the PAD in queries like this, and your code would be simpler and more effective.

I need to replace the single quotes 1 with 2 apostrophes. The values are stored in the DB when you click on the submit button.
  
  So, I'm using the following javascript code:
  italics
  < script type = "text/javascript" >
  function test().
  {
  var str = "& P2_S1.";
  document. Write (Escape (STR));
  }
  < /script >
  italics
  I need to call this javascript function, when the user clicks on the button submit, but BEFORE the values are stored in the DB. How can I get this done?
  
  Please let me know.

  Hi Suzi,

  Just use

  begin
  update test set S1=replace(:P2_S1, '''', '''''') where name=:APP_USER;
  end;
  

  as you did in your SELECT statement.

  But I shake also why you want to do? Where do you have problems with the apostrophe?

  Concerning
  Patrick
