SQL to remove special characters from my research
Hello world. I am very new to sql and hit another road block. I do a query on my database in oracle sql developer. I want to search numbers manufacturer but sometimes they were seized with dashes (999-99-9999) and other times not (999999999) is possible to use a function that give my number query and in the mfr_nbr database column on the dashboard in two?
any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Kelly.
Of course, you can use REPLACE function to return a copy of a string, but with all dashes (if there is) removed.
For example, if you have a string: user_input and you try to compare this to mfr_nbr, but you don't know if one (or two) contains dashes, you can tell
...
WHERE REPLACE (: user_input, '-') =.
REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')
You might want to permanently remove the dashes in the table, like this:
UPDATE table_x
SET mfr_nbr = REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')
WHERE mfr_nbr LIKE '%-% '.
;
then add a CHECK constraint (mfr_nbr = REPLACE (mfr_nbr, '-')) and perhaps a trigger, to keep the dashes in the table.

Hi all
I am trying to remove special characters without the help of regular expressions.
translate (the column name or string,'!@#$ & * (* () _) * "" :} {?}) >? /, «, » ')
I want to eliminate this manual process to give all special characters using a chr() or ascii() function.
Please show me the way.
Thanks in advance

Hello
How to remove special characters except '-'',' '. " in a string.
Database: 10g
Thank you
Hello
For example, use the REGEXP_REPLACE
REGEXP_REPLACE (str
, '[^-,.]'
)
I hope that answers your question.
If this isn't the case, please post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and the results desired from these data.
In the case of a DML (UPDATE), for example, the sample data should show what looks like the tables before the DML, and the results will be the content of the or the tables changed after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

How can I insert emoji or other special characters in a document using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI? I went to special characters from the Edit menu and may not understand how to insert the special character in the document.
He's not that kind of editor. You can use the characters in a font. If you can select a font with the emoji, which fits into the case, and then enter the characters, it can work.
This suggests that you try to do TOO MUCH with a PDF file. It is a common thing, but the message should be: everything simply because you can edit a PDF file, does not mean that it is the most effective way for you to do your job.

Function to remove special characters
I'm trying to figure out if there is a function anywhere in the Finder that can be used to remove special characters in a field. I wish they had just removed. Any help would be great.
Thank you!934527,
I'm glad it helped.
When I said, "import" function, I should say, 'save' function. Using the administration tool of the Disco, the following should be done:
-Connect to the instance of eul
-Select Tools > register of PLSQL function
-the import function (owner is SYS) and the function is in the package, 'STANDARD '. It seems that you did not identify SYS as the owner. In addition, it is very important to be aware that the 'STANDARD' is the package.Directions to the disco of 11g administration tool are here, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32519/adpsff01.htm.

Function to remove special characters in a column.
Hi all
In one of my column, we get special characters, as well as others. The data are extracted and loaded through Informatica. We are not face any problem while loading into the target, but when we try to extract these data through the report, it fails with the error:
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character sets
When we check this column, we find the special characters. Initially, we have implemented logic with the CHR to replace these NULL values. But every time we get different values. To make the permanent solution, we decided to remove all characters except available on Board of the key.
Now, to this end, I need to write a function in Oracle's PL/SQL. I do not know more easy way from there to achieve. If I go with the CHR() function, I have to write for all these characters, which I think is not the right solution.
Enjoy, if someone can help me identify the function or the way to get there.
Thanks in advance.

It depends on your keyboard.
All that is on the keyboard you, something similar to this shoud work:
REGEXP_REPLACE (string_column
, '[^]0-9A-Za-z~!@#$%^&*()_+`={}| [\:";'' <>?,./-]'
)
This will return a copy of string_column, but with all the characters that are not not in the 2nd deleted argument.
[Inside the brackets, ']' must come first (immediately after the ' ^') and '-' must come last.

Read the special characters from the txt file
Hi guys,.
on blackberry 9000, I tried to read some special characters like this: ° ²® µ±³ ° ¯´µ±´¯® text file
using this function:
FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open ("file:///SDCard/test.txt", Connector.READ_WRITE);
InputStream is = fc.openInputStream ();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader (is, "UTF - 8");
LineReader lineReader = new LineReader (is);
line & = new String (lineReader.readLine ());what I get is different, I can't write it here, it is difficult to find these characters.
I change the content of the file to:
ddfdsfdsfdsfdsfdsf
aaaaabbbc ° ² ° ¯´µ±´¯® µ±³®now I get:
ddfdsfdsfdsfdsfdsf
aaaaabbbc, then the same charactersHow to display the same as what I have in the text file?
Thank you
To add to what martijnbrinkers said, you need not to the InputStreamReader because you don't use it (and this is why your code has no idea that the file is in UTF-8 encoding).

How to remove special characters UNICODE as n
Hi all
In my RDF file, I should accomidate comes so that, whatever currupt characters (UNICODE symbols in particular) between the email_address, he must change his later character like that...
The output of n should be n. It is a kind of example...
When the input value is 'john.mun [email protected]' he must return to "[email protected]".
I tried to use the following functions, but the result shows me always the same...
Select UNISTR ("john.mun [email protected]") of the double
Select translate (trim (email_address) {,'1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ WE8ISO8859P1 ~! #$% ^ & * () _ +} {":?"}) [> < ' =] ["'; /, ',' (1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') of per_people_f]
where employee_number = 3951
Select CONVERT ('john.mun [email protected]', 'US7ASCII') of double
Select regexp_replace ('john.mun [email protected]', ' [^-. @, a - z, A - Z, [: space:]]') twice;
If you have any ideas... Please let me know...
Thanks in advance

You said it is corrupt, and you know n must be converted to n.
You can add more characters you know the output should be, just add it to the function to translate.

Hello
Here's one way:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D') AS digits_only
FROM table_x;
where str is the column.
I hope that answers your question.
If this isn't the case, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
If you ask on a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the content of the or the tables before the DML, and the results will be the State of the or the tables changed when it's all over.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

Remove the unused characters from string
Hi, I try to remove unused characters from a string, but I can't find a function for this.
The string like: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0130 3130 3030 3030 3004 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000, I need the characters from 01 to 04.
I need some advice.
If the characters between the SOH and EOT had a NULL value, then Match Regular Expression can be a choice:
Find \x01, find something else THAN \x04, then find \x04
