Remove A Comment String From Text Field
Oct 24, 2007
I have a field that contains some text. Each field will have none or atleast one comment in it. A comment can be a string of any length with *** on both sides. Ex: ***comment***
Declare @Test_tbl Table(TextField Text)
Insert Into @Test_tbl
Select 'Some text ***comment*** some more text' Union all
Select 'Other text ***another comment*** more and more text' Union all
Select '***Comment*** some text ***More Comments***' Union all
Select 'some text with no comment'
I need the output be ...
TextField
--------------
Some text some more text
Other text more and more text
some text
some text with no comment
Thanks in advance.

in our database is saved by 6 decimal places, whether the value has no values ??in decimal position. Field type is of type nvarchar.
How do I remove these "laggards spirit" in the best and smartest way.
Ex:
100.000000 will be 100
100.001000 will be 100.001
100.000001 will be be 100.000001
100.100000 will be be 100.1
and so on...

I have used the following on another column:-
LEFT(A.Addr1,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX ('(', A.Addr1) =0 THEN LEN(A.Addr1) ELSE CHARINDEX('(' ,A.Addr1) -1 END) AS 'Address 1'
but unable to correct this problem?

I am setting up a data driven subscription to send out an email which includes a report. The Sql for the data driven subscription outputs the EmailTo, Subject, Comment(Body) and some report parameters. My issue is with the Comment (Body) field which I would like to format with CR/LF to make the email body look neat and readable. I've tried many different permutations of inserting the CR/LF, From concatenating Char(13) + Char(10) in which the email does recognize the Cr/LF to concatenating binary 0x0D + 0x0A which after the first concatenation of binary nothing else can be concatenated. Here is the code I've tried:
---~~~~~~~~
declare @iEndDate datetime
set @iEndDate = dbo.fn_today()
Declare @Account_group int
Set @Account_group = 999
/*
DECLARE @mybin1 binary(5), @mybin2 binary(5)
SET @mybin1 = 0x0D
SET @mybin2 = 0x0A
*/
Declare @CrLf VarChar(5)
set @CrLf = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
Declare @Str1 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str2 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str3 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str4 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str5 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str6 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str7 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str8 VarChar(255)
Declare @Str9 VarChar(255)
Set @Str1 = 'Good Morning,'
Set @Str2 = 'We are exposed by '
Set @Str3 = 'Attached please find the margin call detail.'
Set @Str4 = 'Please let us know if you have any questions.'
Set @Str5 = 'Thank you.'
Set @Str6 = 'Please respond to:'
Set @Str7 = ''
Set @Str8 = ''
Set @Str9 = ''
declare @t table
(
EmailTo VarChar(255),
ReplyTo VarChar(255),
Subject VarChar(255),
Comment Text,
Account_group Int,
Trading_Account_Id Int,
Broker_Code_Ky VarChar(255),
EndDate Datetime
)
insert into @t
select
EmailTo = '', -- isnull(bf.firm_email,''),
ReplyTo = '',
Subject = 'Margin Call Notice: - ' + Trading_account_name + ' - Exposure: ' + '$' + Convert(varchar(20), convert(Money, Mark_amount),1) ,
Comment = @Str1 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str2 + '$' + Convert(varchar(20), convert(Money, Mark_amount),1) + '.' + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str3 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str4 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str5 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str6 + @CrLf + @Str7+ @CrLf + @Str8 + @CrLf + @Str9,
Account_group = @Account_group,
Trading_Account_Id = trading_account_Id,
Broker_Code_Ky = EGS.Broker_Code_Ky,
EndDate = @iEndDate
from fni_ExposureGovernmentSummary (@iEndDate) EGS
join broker_group bg
on EGS.broker_code_ky = bg.broker_code_ky
Join broker_firm bf
on bg.fbe_firm_id = bf.broker_firm_id
Order by
Broker_Group_Name,
Trading_account_Name
select top 2 * from @t
--~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Email my company is using is Lotus Notes.
The Question is how do I code the the Comment field so that my email will recognize the Cr/LF.
Thanks
Elias

Hi all,
I have a report where I have to display State, Category Name and the text. Below is the sample report
State Category Name Text
TX Unanticipated High NT due to RADD clean up- drive replacement.
NJ Unanticipated SAR efforts (SEM configuration)
But now my question is if there is no comment in any other state I would like to show no comment in the text line. Is there any formula I can use in the report level that will take care of the issue. I know in Business object there is a formula you can create which is =If (IsNull([Text]);"No Comments Reported";[Text]). I need to know in ssrs there is something.
please let me know ASAP and the steps of doing that.
Thanks

I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it.
Thanks for the help!

Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!

i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"
thanks

I have a Tandem (HP) SQL database that I am linking to through an ODBC connection using Access 2003.
I want to remove the literal "#" from a field. STE # 101 should be STE 101. The # is a pattern for a number. How do I remove an actual "#" ?
I am trying to find the ones with an # in it by using Like "*#*".

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help

Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris

In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
