Trim - Cannot Change Source Of Data To Strip Out Special Chars / White Space?

Feb 12, 2015

I have some sql below..

SELECT
t.Doctor, t.LedgerAmount, t.TransactionDate,
ISNULL(lg.LedgerGrpDesc, 'No Sales Group') AS LedgerGroup
FROM
Transactions t
LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON t.LedgerDescription = lg.dbLedgerDesc

[Code] .....

My problem is that the data in t.LedgerDescription sometimes now has either leading/trailing white space or more likely special chars so the join against lg.dbLedgerDesc doesn't always work.

I can't change the source of the data to strip out special chars/white space so am stuck on how to deal with it.

I tried using LTRIM & RTRIM in the where clause but this doesn't seem to have had any effect...

LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON LTRIM(RTRIM(t.LedgerDescription)) = lg.dbLedgerDesc

Data Export - How To Strip Out The Special Characters

Nov 10, 2005

Hey everyone!
I'm doing an export from SQL into excel spreadsheet and then am going to clean out certain parts of the data with global search/replace. The problem is that the SQL data is full of special characters such as |'s and the little box looking characters.
How do I export without these characters?
I know its possible, I did it about 2 years ago and remember I did some crazy file conversion (make wk3 or something) but I no longer remember
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Geoff

PS, attached is a screenshot of the data to give you an idea of what I'd like to strip!

Strip Certain Characters

Jul 13, 2004

Can anyone tell me how I can strip certain chahrcters from a string

I know I can use replace, but i don't think this is appropriate for what I want to do

For example I have the string

declare @text varchar (100)
select @text = 'word1, word2 & word3'

if i do a replace on the string like this
select @text = 'replace(@text, ',', '')
select @text = 'replace(@text, '&', '')

I end up with the string
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'

i.e. 2 spaces between word2 and word3

What i want the string to look like is :
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'

Is there a way i can check for more than one space + characters ( / , &) in one go

many thanks

Mutilple Space Gets Converted To Single Space In Report Viewer Control

Feb 23, 2007

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.

I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried &lt;Pre&gt; instead of <pre>)

But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ&nbsp€? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.

Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Strip String From Csv Column

Mar 26, 2004

I have a column of 5 comma-separated-value strings:

stringA, stringB, stringC, stringD, stringE

The strings are GUID's with the hyphen stripped and made all uppercase so they are completely random. I need to be able to remove any one of the strings including the comma, in a stored procedure and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

SELECT tickets
FROM users
WHERE CONTAINS (tickets, @ticket)

IF @@rowcount > 0
REMOVE STUFF HERE
SET @valid = 1
ELSE
SET @valid = 0

So if stringB gets passed in as @ticket then the new value in the column would be :

stringA, stringC, stringD, stringE

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Strip Text From A String

Feb 17, 2004

I'm trying to find a way to strip text from a string. In the past (pre SQL Server) I would've used

LName: Left(NCBH!Name,InStr(1,NCBH!NAME,",",1)-1)

To strip the last name from a string like

Franks,George J

Apparently InStr is not a recognized function in SQL Server 2000. Or is it available but not in a view?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Need To Strip Non-numerics From Phone Field

Jul 22, 2004

I tried searching forums for the last hour and could not find much.

Rather then doing...

REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(RE PLACE(ISNULL(PHONE, ''), ' ', ''), '(', ''), ')', ''), '-', ''), '.', ''), ':', ''), '+', '')

I was hoping there was an equally efficient alternative that utilizes PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', PHONE)

to some capacity (i.e. uses regular expressions to strip all non-numeric characters from the phone field)

I am certain this has been addressed before, just not sure if the "REPLACE to the nth degree" is the only solution.

THANKS!

Strip Time Out Of A Date Field - Sql

Dec 3, 2004

Hi all,

I have a table that I've imported into SQL - there is a field in there for date that must have used now(); as its default value (access).

So the values are something like:

01/11/2004 12:16:42

I need a way to change the data so that the time element removed is the field just holds the date. Failing that a way to insert this from the existing field into a new field stripping the date off en route would be a great help.

Many thanks

Strip Off Hour, Minute, Second From A Datetime?

Jan 18, 2005

I would like something I can do inline eg:

select convert(blahdatatype,a.datefield) as smallerdatefield
from
a

where a.datefield is a datetime. If a contains rows like:

datefield
---------------------
01/20/2005 22:17:23
08/23/2001 03:04:15
...

Then the SQL above returns:

smallerdatefield
---------------------
01/20/2005 00:00:00
08/23/2001 00:00:00
...

Is there any non-obnoxious way (eg: without have to result to using datepart a million times) to do this? For instance, Oracle provides a function called Trunc which does it, but I cannot find an SQL Server equivalent. Anyone? TIA!!!

Strip Out The From Alphabetized Search Results?

Jan 16, 2006

I am not aware of this if it exists in MS SQL server. But I need to return results in alphabetic order ignoring "The" if it's the first word of a title...

so for example title "The Cliffhanger" would be returned along with other titles that start with letter C, but "The" also must be returned as part of the title, but just ignored while alphabetizing.

I'm sure that I'm not the first one to ever need this and don't want to re-invent the wheel, so if you have any ideas as to the best way to accomplish this, help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Trans Log-&>space Allocated 27GB, Space Used 100MB

Mar 2, 2005

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.

Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)

After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?

Strip DTD Out; Help With Some XSLT Inside Of SSIS XML Task

Sep 4, 2007

I'm reading over this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1884062&SiteID=1

and I'm kinda lost as to what to do to strip out the dtd from an XML file I am downloading. I do NOT know XSLT and for that reason, I can't follow his logic.

My SSIS package downloads my XML file just fine, now I need to do a strip of the DTD line in my XML Task.

The person who provided the solution in the above post said to do this...





Code Snippet
Operation Type: XSLT
Source Type: Variable
Source: Variable's name containing the xml text
Save Operation Result: True
DestinationType: Variable
OverwriteDestination: True
Destination: Variable's name which is to contain the original xml minus the DTD.
SecondOperandType: Variable







That stuff I understood. I'll replace variables with my files because they are stored that way, but from what I can tell, that's not my problem.

The stuff he says below this comment is going over my head like a ton of bricks. I can't figure out how to do it.

This is the kind of line of my XML that I want to strip out.

https://www.myaddy.com/pbdr.dtd"[]>

and then he said this...





Code Snippet
Since XSL doesn't know about DTDs, telling it to copy everything strips out DTDs. Then use the Variable specified in the Xml task's SecondOperand as the Source data for the xml source.


Code Snippet

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:copy-of select="." />

</< FONT>xsl:template>

</< FONT>xsl:stylesheet>

A note on how to paste a multi-line xml document into a Integration Services String variable:


Integration Services String variables textboxes are not multi-line, in the Windows sense of a line (CR+LF),

So, in order to paste multi-line text (which xml docs almost always are), save a temporary copy with a unix line ending.

That is, create an xml file in visual studio, and paste your sample original xml in there. Go to File/Advanced Save options, and save the xml with the the settings of Encoding: Unicode (utf-8 without signature) - CodePage 65001, and most importantly, set the Line endings dropdown to "Unix (LF)".

After selecting "OK", copy and paste the text from Visual Studio's xml file editor into the IS variable, and you'll note all the xml data appears.





So can anyone walk me through a dummies version of what he is suggesting to do?

Thanks,
Keith
