I have a big sql file with thousand user something like this:

And now I need to delete the last word ('someone1' , 'someone2' , 'someone3' , 'someone4') for every user which adjoining to 1. It will be looks like
....9999-12-31 00:00:00',1)
not like in original
....9999-12-31 00:00:00',1'someone1')
....9999-12-31 00:00:00',1'someone2')
etc
But don't forget they are not in different lines. All this is in one big line and this makes me to ask you help. Thanks a lot.
It seems that (from your examples) the rows do not contain any parentheses except their start and end characters. So you can search for one quotation mark ', and a number of letters and/or digits, and one quotation mark ', and than ).
To do this;
Open Replace window in Notepad++ by using ctrl+h shortcut
From Search Mode section select Reqular expression
Write '[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?'\) to Find what box
Write '\) to Replace with box
Click Replace All button.
This works if user names consist of letters or digits and _, -, . at most 3 times.
Be Sure that you have a copy of original file as a backup. And also be aware of that the regular expression that we use may find unrelated parts if any row contains closing parentheses except end of it.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0 for my reports. My report runs, however, if a user exports the results to Excel (xlsx) instead of Excel 2003 (xls), they get an "illegal xml character" message when the file is open.
4 of the columns contain "&" and / or " ' "; so I'm trying to replace these special characters; which I believe are causing the issue.
I've tried to update this line:
j.journal_desc AS "Jrnl Description",
with this line:
oreplace(oreplace(j.journal_desc, ’&’, ‘and’),'''','') AS "Jrnl Description",
and it works fine. However when I do this on a second line I get the message: "SELECT Failed. [9804] Response Row size or Constant Row size overflow".
I've tried "otranslate" and it works on 2 columns. However, when I try it on the 3rd column, I get the same overflow message.
Is it possible to use oreplace or otranslate on multiple columns? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to replace these special characters? t
Thanks for the help......
oreplace and otranslate when used the result string will have length of 8000 unicode characterset.each of otranslate will make much longer by 8000. Try to cast to smaller length should fix problem.
CAST(oreplace(journal_desc,'&','and') AS VARCHAR(100))
I have an sqlite database with thousands of text entries. The text has many invisible/hidden carriage returns which shows the text in one long line. It displays okay on some programs, and on others it does not like this. If I just delete these hidden carriage returns and replace them by hitting the 'enter' button, everything works just fine. My question is how do I replace these hidden characters (which I believe are CHAR(13) or CHAR(10)) with a normal carriage return like I hit the enter button. What would the correct SQLite query be? I've found of examples about just replacing them all with an empty space but nothing about replacing with a normal paragraph.
Here is an example of what I mean:
-Result from growth in wool production in England- Enclosures were lands that were previously farms and they were turned into pastures for sheep- The serfs who had been working on the previous farm land were evicted
This is what I would like it to display:
Result from growth in wool production in England
Enclosures were lands that were previously farms and they were turned into pastures for sheep
The serfs who had been working on the previous farm land were evictedd
I can do this by just going and deleting these hidden carriage returns and hitting the enter button. I could do this for the entire database, but it would take me about 3 months to do that.
Any help would be most appreciated.
"Normal" line break depends on application. Indeed, different OS use different line breaks.
I would, first, get sure to have all line breaks normalized in your database - I prefer a single LF (x'0A'), so I would ensure my data uses only this character:
UPDATE mytable SET mycol=REPLACE(REPLACE(mycol, x'0D0A', x'0A'), x'0D', x'0A');
This would convert all CR+LF to LF, them all remaining CR to LF also.
Then convert output as desired for my application:
SELECT mycol FROM mytable; -- LF, Unix like systems, ...
SELECT REPLACE(mycol, x'0A', x'0D0A'); -- CRLF, Windows systems, ...
SELECT REPLACE(mycol, x'0A', x'0D'); -- CR, Mac OS (ver<=9), ...
I got this error message while using StringTemplate:
line 94:26: unexpected char: ')'
And after about 15 minutes of randomly adding and removing blank lines in my template, and observing how the number in that message changed, I finally isolated the line that caused trouble. It was line #152, position #35.
Is the value after "line " just normally totally wrong, or is there a way of deducing the real line number from that output?
In StringTemplate (ST) 4, it appears that the first number is the line number, within the specific template at issue and not the line number within the .stg file if that's what you're using (which most of us do).
When I'm using vim, this means I need to mentally offset that from the line number of the first line of the template (add them together) to get the actual line number within the .stg file.
The second number in the ST error is the character position within that line of the template. But wait, there's more - you know you love it...
When an error is on the first line of a multi-line template: since ST elides the starting newline in multi-line templates, ST effectively combines the first/ declaration line (ending in "<<") with the second (actual start of the template) line, in multi-line templates;
so at least with ST-4.0.8 I need to subtract the length of the template declaration line from the character position, to get the actual character position.
The first "\n" eliding (for multi-line templates only) also means the line number may appear to be offset by 1, and possibly the character position, for an error on the "first line".
The error should include the filename and template name, so it's enough information for an automated script or tool, but a bit cumbersome for us mere humans.
Good luck.
