• How to split a string into several substrings parent using a delimiter

  Hello

  I am forced to split a string into several substrings parent using a delimiter.

  And insert these substrings in variuou of the columns of a table in a row.

  For example. The sting is: ABC * DEF * GHI * JKH *.

  where ' *' is the separator.

  Desired output:

  Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5

  -------     --------     --------     -------     ---------

  JKH GHI ABC DEF (null)

  Could you please guide me how can I achieve this.

  Thank you

  Hello Salim,

  Leave the thread for reference... got this excerpt:

  with t as

  (

  Select "c: its: hgfd:1:23" Str

  )

  Select

  REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 1, null, 1) col1

  , REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 2, null, 1) col2

  , REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 3, null, 1) col3

  , REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 4, null, 1) col4

  , REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 5, null, 1) col5

  t;

  This code snippet works well, but for the fixed columns. Here are 5 predefined columns.

  But I need to have a logic that I can browse the string any No.. sometimes.

  For example. If I get 3 secondary channels of the parent chain... I need to insert into 3 columns.

  And if I get 6 strings under... I need to insert into 6 columns.

  Could you please help me develop a logic like that.

  I use Oracle database 10g.

  And the data are currently being collected on external table... but I can store in a variable or a column of a database table.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Nice day!

  My requirement is to split the string into words.

  This has nothing to do with REGEXP. Is SQL * more parser does not not a semicolon at the end of the line:

  SQL > select ' testto, mm\;
  ERROR:
  ORA-01756: city not properly finished chain

  SQL >

  Just break the chain:

  SQL > select regexp_substr ('testto, mm\;' |) '
  2 string into words
  3 \w+',1,level ',') of double
  4. connect by level<= regexp_count('testto,mm\;'="" ||="">
  5 string in words

  7.

  REGEXP_SUBSTR ('TESTTO, MM\;' |') STRINGIN

  Testto
  mm
  string

  Or modify SQL * more the character of endpoints:

  Use REGEXP_SUBSTR:

  SQL > with t as (select ' inf.ethz.ch' double txt)
  2 Select regexp_substr (txt,'[^.] +') part_1,.
  3 regexp_substr (txt,'[^.] +', 1, 2) part_2,.

• SQL / PLSQL to split the string into pieces

  Hi all
  
  I have a problem of data conversion from the name of one table to another structure.
  
  for example
  
  SQL > desc names
  Name Null? Type
  ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
  TITLE VARCHAR2 (5)
  FNAME VARCHAR2 (20)
  LNAME VARCHAR2 (20)
  
  SQL > Data desc
  Name Null? Type
  ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
  FULLNAME VARCHAR2 (50)
  
  
  Insert in data values ("SIR I HAVE ONE NAME PARTICULARLY LONG INDEED");
  Insert in the data values ("MINE IS EVEN MORE, ENOUGH RIDICULEMENT so IN FACT");
  
  Essentially, I need to divide these names long, stored in the 1 field, in the above 3 fields. The trickiest part is however I want to do it in such a way so that if the 1st part of the name fits the 1 5 char field I want to do, otherwise I would divide between 2 fields - once again without splitting a string. The reason behind this is that application will automatically put a space between each field when they appear and I would avoid gaps in the names if possible.
  
  This baffled me a little if any help would be seriously great... it might not even be a go-er, as it might be too uneconomic with the amount of available space, but I would give it a shot.
  
  Thank you!

• split a string into a single alpha character

  Hello
  
  I would like to know how to divide this string "ABC123XYZ! "@ > ' unique and don't get as 'ABCXYZ' alphabets as an output using pl/sql.
  
  Any suggestions please.
  
  Thank you.

  SQL:

  SQL> select  regexp_replace(' ABC123XYZ!@> ','[^[:alpha:]]') from dual
    2  /
  
  REGEXP
  ------
  ABCXYZ
  
  SQL> 
  

  PL/SQL:

  SQL> set serveroutput on
  SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line(regexp_replace(' ABC123XYZ!@> ','[^[:alpha:]]'));
  ABCXYZ
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

• converting a string into a variable

  I have a string that stores the name of the instance of the object:

  var instName:String = e.target.name;

  and now I need to use its information to do something like this:

  instName. Alpha = 0.3;
  

  but since it is a string, it causes this error:

  1119: access of alpha property may not set a static String type reference.

  Using the name property can be random if the instance name is not the same as the name property (they are not necessarily the same in AS3), but if the name property is the name of the instance, you can use:

  This [instName] = 0.3 .alpha;

  If the property name is not the name of the instance itself, but it is the instance name property, then you would use:

  this.getChildByName (instName) .alpha = 0.03;  possibly subject to casting

  Another option is to store a reference to the object itself.

  var instRef:Object = e.target;  You can replace the object with the actual class

  instRef.alpha = 0.3;

• Splits the string into two columns to dashboard

  Hi all
  
  I got thisworking
  
  decode (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, 1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-')-1), '9999', NULL, (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, 1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-')-1))),
  
  decode (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, INSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-') + 1), '9999', NULL, (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-') + 1)))
  
  but the results were a little different.
  
  It came as
  
  Col1 for 8-10 have come beauiful... .but however Col2 data should be in K1 and transferred to Col2
  
  Col1 Col2
  < null > 10
  < null > 33
  8 10
  
  Any guidance is appreciated.

  Personally, I like the cases, but another way using the DECODE method...

  WITH t AS
          (SELECT '8-10' str FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '163' FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '789' FROM DUAL)
  SELECT str col1,
         DECODE (NVL2 (NULLIF (INSTR (str, '-'), 0), 99999, 0),99999, SUBSTR (str, 1, INSTR (str, '-', 1) - 1),str) col2,
         DECODE (NVL2 (NULLIF (INSTR (str, '-'), 0), 99999, 0),99999, SUBSTR (str, INSTR (str, '-', 1) + 1),NULL) col3
    FROM t;
  

  Simplified:
  ------

  WITH t AS
          (SELECT '8-10' str FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '163' FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '789' FROM DUAL)
  SELECT str col1,
         DECODE (SIGN (INSTR (str, '-')),1, SUBSTR (str, 1, INSTR (str, '-', 1) - 1),str)  col2,
         DECODE (SIGN (INSTR (str, '-')),1, SUBSTR (str, INSTR (str, '-', 1) + 1), NULL) col3
    FROM t;
  

  OUTPUT:

  COL1     COL2     COL3
  8-10     8     10
  163     163
  789     789     
  

  See you soon,.

• Get string of data Variables

  Hello

  I'm post and retrieve data to an ASP page on a site.

  The data returned using the following function:

  var dataS3:String;
  function handleComplete3(event:Event):void
  {
       var loader3:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
       dataS3 = loader3.data;
       trace(dataS3); 
  }
  
  

  The trace (showing the received data) looks like: score1 = 0.5244005132792953 & score2 =-0.27105341041929653

  How can I get these 2 partitions (score1 and score2), which seem to be part of a string of data, into separate variables that I can then later use as numeric values in frames (round/add/subtract/multiply/divide their)? Is there a way to analyze the 2 variables for use in mathematics from frame later? Would I declare var DataS3 differently or keep it as a string, and then somehow convert the string back to separate the numbers or integers?

  Any help appreciated.

  In general, you use objects, you can run a loop on this. You can also type cast that you do only when you must instead create a variable to use.

  Your example rewritten using a table and casting can be:

  function handleComplete3(event:Event):void

  {

  do a bunch of var = value pairs

  var urlVars:Array = String (event.target.data).split("&");)

  S5

  trace (String(urlVars[0]). Split ("=") [1]); a string of draws

  S6

  trace (String(urlVars[1]). Split ("=") [1]); a string of draws

  Now you want to conversion, just convert online numbers instead of again assign vars

  S7

  trace (Math.Round (Number (String(urlVars[0]). ((Split ("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000); number of prints

  S8

  trace (Math.Round (Number (String(urlVars[1]). ((Split ("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000); number of prints

  }

  The fundamental point is that you can use the data that you receive directly and unless it is in a feature called very intensively you can just multiple operations at the same time without saving changes out of additional variables.

  You are allowed to Garland and types of melting as you go. For example I have to split the string by one & ampersand into a temporary array, I did it for easier reading. To print your S7 I would have done this one line of code:

  function handleComplete3(event:Event):void

  {

  traces of your S7

  trace (Number (Math.Round (Number (String (String (Event.Target.Data). Split ("&") [0]). Split("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000));

  }

  There is no difference between the S7 printing. You assigned a bunch of variables and set up one by one. I sank anonymously their Garland style without attributing all the variables working directly on the data. I just wanted to point the daisy chaining power of ActionScript. You can convert things as you go and condense the code and dynamic variable usage a bit.
