Dead Easy String Handling Question

Aug 1, 2007

Hi there,

I'm a bit embarrassed about this question, because I'm sure that a lot of you would find it trivial, but I'm really not the best at T-SQL and especially not string handling.

I'm trying to generate a 'parent' value, by replacing characters in the 'child' field with '---'. It's a classic Chart of Accounts sort of problem, for feeding into a Parent/Child dimension in AS. It's a lot easier to understand if you look at this:

This is the set I have:

GLCode GLDescription
0.-.-.---- Balance S
0.0.-.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet
0.0.0.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet
0.0.0.5000 Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area1
0.0.0.5001 Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area2
0.0.0.5002 Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area3

This is the set I want

Ch GLCode Par GLCode GLDescription
0.-.-.---- -.-.-.---- Balance S
0.0.-.---- 0.-.-.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet
0.0.0.---- 0.0.-.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet
0.0.0.5000 0.0.0.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area1
0.0.0.5001 0.0.0.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area2
0.0.0.5002 0.0.0.---- Balance S.Balance Sheet.Balance Sheet.Assets - Area3


That is to say,
0.0.0.---- is the parent of 0.0.0.5001
0.0.-.---- is the parent of 0.0.0.----
0.-.-.---- is the parent of 0.0.-.----

So, what I really need to do is replace the last non '-' string with '-'. I've tried various combos of PATINDEX, CHARINDEX, REPLACE etc, but I'm really struggling. To make in more complicated, and of the strings between the . can be any length.

Any ideas?

TSQL - Trim String Containing Both Data And Value Into 2 Separate Data Fields

Aug 20, 2007

Hi!
Need help with this one:
I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.








378 9/05

388 9/05

4/05

1/06 606

1/06 646

76 5/05

100 1/05

118 8/05

129 8/05

9/05 342

05/3 123

1/07

4/06 164
The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example:
Value Date
378 09/2005
388 09/2005
0 04/2005
...
606 01/2006

and so on...
In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.

I will appreciate any good ideas,
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

Trim Character

Jul 5, 2007

OK, the problem is like this; say the table is sumthing like this

i have a table 't3' has 3 fields
id(number,2)
date(date/time)
text(varchar,200)

eg. id date text
-----------------------
01 05-jul-07 abcdefghijkl (i want to get rid of the first 6 characters i.e. abcdef)

i want to display 'text' field from t3 table but with the first 6 characters trimmed/removed (i want to get rid of the 6 first characters)

so i did:

select LTRIM(text,6) from t3

but the above code didn't work because LTRIM only trims spaces NOT characters... Is there any way that i can trim off the first 6 characters from every record in the 'text' field?

No TRIM Function In 2005 - Are You Serious!?

Nov 10, 2005

I cannot believe that there is yet another version of SQL Server without a TRIM function.  So for SQL 2005 (like I've done in 7.0 and 2000) my T-SQL will look like dog poo because I will have to write LTRIM(RTRIM(MyValue)) anytime I want to remove whitespace from both ends of character values instead of just writing TRIM(MyValue).

TRIM + Dynamic Expression

Nov 7, 2007

This is a very weird issue, and I can't seem to pinpoint the actual cause. I have a dynamic expression for Excel files that gets evaluated at run-time. One of the parameters for creating this path is pulled from the database - the column is nvarchar(10) and most of the values are only 2-characters long. I have tried LTRIM(RTRIM()) inside SQL Server as well as TRIM() in SSIS's Expression Editor, but nothing seems to work. At run-time the package fails, and the error I receive is because the value that gets pulled from the DB has trailing spaces. What's even annoying is the package runs fine on my XP machine, but fails on a W2K3 box - both setups are using the same back-end database.

Is this is a bug, or am I just screwing up something unknowingly? Thanks.
