I'm trying to parse text strings by certain spaces and characters within the string. For Example, if my text string is RAST 2006-A1 B1 mtge, how can I 1) create a new field with just the RAST 2006-A1, 2) Create a field with just the RAST 2006-A1 B1?
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
I have a Db with a table imported from sql server. One of the fields contains data wrapped between xml tags. The xml tag identifiers when looked at as columns are not consistently the same tag identifiers but effectively I am parsing the string to provide columns of data from between the tag identifiers.
example:
<T6><A29>Compton Group</A29><A31>CO009</A31><A32>CO161/71</A32><A30>Invu Proposal</A30><A28>05 September 2007</A28><A41>Sales</A41></T6>
I am wondering if the method I am using to deconcatenate the string is the bext way. In my query I reference the left tag value .
TagVal1: ParseTagOpenVal([Attributes],3)
And then I parse the result based on the right hand tag value
Val1: ParseTagCloseVal([TagVal1],1)
I have a couple of modules for parsing the string and I am able to deconcatenate using this method but I am wondering if its the only way or the most efficient?
I am using this function
Expr2: Mid$([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],(InStrRev([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],"-")+1),(InStr([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],":"))-(InStrRev([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],"-"))-1)
to parse this string
4150-ATH:GRP_54X8/BL
into this
ATH
It works great until I get to a string that looks like this
4110-SPECIAL:OLY:LONG-TRACK:REPAIRS
Which I need to return the word SPECIAL but it gives me #Error in the Query.
It would seem that when there are multiple : it is giving the error but when there is only one it works fine. Is there anyther way to atchieve what I am doing?
I am doing this in an update query to get data from Quickbooks into a table in Access.
hi guys,
i am importing a tab seperated file into a table, and one of the fields is a user comment.
all is well -- until a record is imported that contains comment with a carriage return followed by some more text. the text after the carriage return is imported as the next record.
if the file is tab seperated, why is the carriage return causing the import to act in this way?
thanks

Hello, I have two newbie questions. First, when I design a checkbox in Form design view, how do I program or script the form so it will enter a "1" value on the corresponding tables database per column. (Just like in the option group design, where a click on each option generates a specific value on the tables database).
Second, how can I design the form where it can accept text strings as input and displays them 'as is' in the corresponding tables database as a text string.
Thanks for looking. :)
Small piece of code that can send / recieve small text-strings over a network. I finally got it to work, but forgot to think ahead . Right now it only works in a formular but i really need to be a function with input / output.

Hello
I have two tables with names of people in different forms.
table1 : [name] can be either in the form of :
- firstname & firstname surname
- surname, firstname
table2: [surname]
I'm trying to select all the records in table1 where [table2]![surname] is part of [table1]![name]
I've tried using
Like "*"&[surname]&"*"
This returns everything rather than the similar names.
I think this should be simple but can't work it out.

I am using the following statement in an update query (which by the way I found in this forum) to pull out the first name from the FirstName field. The field could have a first name or a first name and a middle initial. If the field has a first name and niddle intital: John P then I get John. If the field only has a first name, I get #Error in the update field. I have thousands of records to move to a new Oracle table which has a first name field and a middle intial field.
FNAME: IIf([FirstName] Is Null," ",Left([FirstName],InStr(1,[FirstName]," ")-1))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is it possible to parse, and format a textfield in a report on a line by line basis?
What I am trying to do is get a document to be processed into a printable format using reports. The text, and formatting information of each line, and any specific word details are stored in separate columns in the table. If, for example an entire line needs to be made Bold, I can get that done. What I would like to know is that if a word in a particular line needs to be formatted differently to the rest of the line, eg underlined, is there a way to do so?
For example, if I had the line as follows:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
I'd have the default, unformatted text as one field in the table, and the word, in this case quick, and it's formatting in another field of the table.
So rather than stating my question again, can it be done?
Thanks in advance,
Shaitan.
I am having a problem with parsing the array value to Forms!<arraryvaluehere>.dirty.
Please see the code below:
Public strListOfForms(0 To 2) As String
strListOfForms(0) = "frmForm1"
strListOfForms(1) = "frmForm2"
strListOfForms(2) = "frmForm3"
For i = 0 To 2
Debug.Print CurrentProject.AllForms(strListOfForms(i)).IsLoaded
Debug.Print Forms!strListOfForms(i).Dirty
Next i
Note: CurrentProject.AllForms(strListOfForms(i)).IsLoade d works and Forms!strListOfForms(i).Dirty does not.
Is this because it is taking "strListOfForms(i)" literally? Is there a way that I can get around this?
We publish a PDF file every week full of taskings that our subordinate organizations need to accomplish for the following week. I would like to have parse the PDF and store the data in a table. I think the only way to start this operation is to first save the PDF to Text (Plain) as this create some way to delimit and parse the data. So, once it's saved as a txt file, it basically looks something like this:
Code:
//
Column 1 Data/StuffIDontCareAbout/
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout//Column 2 Data
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout/
Column 3 Data
[Code] ....
...and so on and so forth anywhere between 50-100 more times
The entire text file will always start and end with "//" at the top and bottom. You also see that each tasking paragraph (starting with "Column 1 Data" and ending with "Column 3 Data") is preceded by a "//" on its own line, and also followed by a "//" on its own line. The text file will always look exactly like this with each tasking paragraph having the same number of forward slashes.
Column 1 Data always starts on a new line under "//" and runs until the first "/" (single forward slash).
Column 2 Data always starts after the "//" on the 2nd paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Column 3 Data always starts on the 4th paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Here's a quick example of what I'm talking about:
Code:
//
37 NOS001/DCO/
TaskPer/TBD//310001ZAUG2014-292359ZSEP2014
GenText/Remarks/
(U/FOUO) This will contain the actual task description and details. You can see that "(U/FOUO)" contains a forward slash.
[Code] ....
So after it's parsed, my table would have the following new rows:
Code:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
37 NOS001 |310001ZAUG2014-292|(U/FOUO) This will contain
582 NOS012 |280001ZAUG2014-022|(U/FOUO) This another task

We have imported an Excel spreadsheet with dates in one column that were imported as numbers such as '39287', which can also be displayed in Excel as July 24, 2007. We concatenated this import to a table where all our dates are stored as 20070724. Now we have both formats in one column, with over 70,000 records in the 20070724 format and a few thousand in the Excel format. How can we convert the fields in the Excel format to the appropriate YYYYMMDD format we use?
Many thanks for your help, we can find a good way to clean this up...

Hello! I have an Excel file that I need to get into Access. Problem?: I need to "parse" portions of it. What I have is as follows:
Roach, Richard 555-55-5555 01-6500-3000
Date In Out In Out
Data Data Data Data Data
Data Data Data Data Data
.
.
.
I need to pull only the Name (Roach, Richard) from the first line and then all of the data in the "table" below it.
Is there a way to do this? PLEASE don't tell me to give up. I know I'm a novice, but I'm desperate. Thank you so much!

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a field in our database with five distinct strings, separated by a delimited (a slash or "/").
I've been able to successfully write the formula to parse the first field:

The second field:
BRANCHMGR: Mid(Left([pipeline]![Short Description],InStr(InStr(1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")+1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")-1),InStr(1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")+1)

how to get the third and fourth strings parsed. I know its going to include some nested InStr or InStrRev commands -- just having trouble figuring out the structure. Could potential need a LEN command as well.
Typical field might look like this:
"Name1/Name2/Description/Update/Date"
