Remove The Last Carriage Return And Line Feed From Sql Text Field
Jun 12, 2007
I am trying to write a user defined function that will allow me to
strip off the last carriage return and line feed from a text field.
We have address fields stored in a text field for our ERP system and
some of them have an extra carriage return and line feed at the end of
them. This causes havoc when we sync between our ERP system and CRM
system. If anyone knows a way to solve this problem the help would be
appreciated.
Hi, for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line. for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS) line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90 4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line. line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
We're using this statement to import some values into a database: SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')"
The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e. VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2."
It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters?
I am trying to use FOR XML under SQL Server 2014 to write out a large XML data set. I want it to look like
<CVS_Member_Add_Change> Â Â <RecordType>3</RecordType> Â Â <Carrier>1266</Carrier> Â Â <MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode> Â Â <MemberType></MemberType>
[Code] ....
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Â Just what I want. Â Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you getÂ
Note that the third column in the third line is also qualified by quotes whereas the previous two are not. I think this is because of Excel formatting. Is there any way to import this file correctly?
My main problem is that I never know whether a column will be qualified or not because this depends on the value. I need to loop through and import many of these files so a manual workaround is not a option for me.
how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field: firstline secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it? UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
hello everyone, I have a a texarea box and user type in the comments, and then I insert it into sql database, i retrieve it and write to a text file, but the text file shows multiple lines bc user hit "Enter Key" or "Tab key" now i want to remove all the Carriage Return character or tab key, and i want the text file shows countinous lines. any suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks
I am displaying a complex formula in a column header tool tip. The formula is generated in a stored procedure. (I do not enter the tool tip text directly in the column header expression.)
Within the stored procedure, how do I generate a string that contains a carriage return/line feed?
I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.
I'm using quite odd combination of technology for my project, I'm using PHP and MSSQL 2000, at one certain page, I want to insert to a table where one of the column is TEXT data type, and I want to get the value from the TEXTAREA at the page, of course, with carriage return captured, I manage to get it done in MySQL, where it automatically store the carriage return keyed in by user at the TEXTAREA, while for MSSQL I no luck in finding solution for this, is there any settings I can set or I need to convert the carriage return keystroke to HTML tag at my PHP?
I have created the following trigger:CREATE TRIGGER [CreateFile] ON OutputTableFOR INSERTASDeclare @filename nvarchar(35)Declare @filecontents nvarchar(2000)Declare @strcmdshell varchar(150)SELECT @filecontents = OutputText FROM INSERTEDSELECT @filename = 'c:' + OutputFileName FROM INSERTEDSELECT @strcmdshell = 'echo '+ @filecontents+ ' >'+ @filenameexec master..xp_cmdshell @strcmdshellIt works fine as long as the column OutputText has no carriagereturns.I have used my Access2K front end to dump about ten lines of text intoOutputText, each line broken by vbcrlf so that OutputText looks like:line1testline2textline3textetc.The trigger won't fire with this text.Is there something I can do to remedy this?lq
I have a problem, I store text into a nvarchar field (could be a 200 or 20,000 characters long string), inside the text there are several carriage returns which I would like to preserve to later presentation, but when retreiving the data from sql server I got the "cr" as "?", also I opened the database from Sql Managment and all cr's were saved as "?".
What can I do to preserve the cr inside each field ?
I have two matrices aligned on one line (side by side). When I preview the report in BIS, the output shows the two matrices on the same line.
When I run the report from report manager, the output shows the two matrices with a line feed (the second matrix is on line 2). All of the rest of the report is aligned properly until I put two matrices next to each other. Then it seems to randomly throw in a line feed. The page width for the report layout seems to be more than enough to accomodate the matrices.
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
Hi, I want to insert line feed. I have used char(10) and char(13) function. But I could not insert line feed. Ex: set error1= 'error description' + char(10)+ 'Employee' Output must be: error description Employee Any suggestions are welcome.
I am trying to print mailing labels and suppress optional address lines to eliminate white space while maintaining label alignment. This is what I am trying but it does not work.
I create a function that determines the length of a field (i.e. street) and increments a counter if the length is zero. It also takes a second parameter that detremines whether to reset the counter. I then use the function in the visibility each row of the label table. Example iif(Code.LineLen(Fields!Street.Value)=0,True,False). I place this on the visibility of each row except the last as that is City,State,Zip and is required. On this last row the expession I use is
=Fields!city.Value & ", " & Fields!state.Value & " " & Fields!zip.Value & iif(Code.LineCount<5,StrDup(5-Code.LineCount,vbCRLF),""). What this is intended to do is print a carraige return and line feed for every row that did not print. Instead no line feeds occur. I have verified that the Code.LineCount is indeed calculating correctly (I printed the value). I've removed the conditional to make sure it has no issues but again nothing. For clarification the code block I am using is this.
Public LineCount as Integer=0
Function LineLen(byval LineIn as string,byval IsFirst as boolean) as Integer if IsFirst=True then LineCount=1 end if If len(LineIn)>0 then LineCount=LineCount+1 end if LineLen=Len(LineIn) end Function So if anyone either knows why the line feeds do not occur or a better way to handle this please let me know. Thanks.
I have to output as one filed name, mailing address, and phone of each company that we do business with. the out put must look as follows: Company Name Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-####
Each piece of data is a single field and will have to be concatenated into one. How do I force the line breaks where I need them?
Also each piece of data will be compared to a €œsource€? for validity and I will need to mare the individual data pieces red where €œwrong€?. Like so: VALID MY DATA Company Name Company Name Store number: ##### Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 1 Street Address 2 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-#### Phone: (###) ###-####
Any ideas on how to do this? I have used IIF for conditional formating of field colors in the past, but my expierence is that it changes the WHOLE display field not just piece of data the IIF is wrapped around.
While retrieving user input from an input control, eg: multi-line textbox, and inserting it into the database, the carriage return or the 'Enter' key is not getting inserting into the database.. instead it inserts a quad ( square ) in the database.. also the text typed after the 'Enter' key is not getting inserted into the database.. please help.
I have a string with multiple carriage returns in it. I need to removethe second carriage return but leave all the rest. Anyone know of afunction that will do this?I've come up with this:/***********************************************/DECLARE @MyString varchar(100)SET @MyString='Line one.Line two.Line three.Line four.'SELECT @MyStringSELECT @MyString = LEFT(@MyString, CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString,CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString, 0)+1)-1)+ RIGHT(@MyString, LEN(@MyString)-(CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString,CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), @MyString, 0)+1)+1))SELECT @MyString/***********************************************/However, if there is a less convoluted way of doing this, I'd love toknow.
Hi All, I am experiencing problem to select text wich has carriage return in my search functionality.
I have two tables called @searchwordTable and @DataTable.
@searchWordTable will have search criteria words(data type is varchar) and @DataTable will titles(data type is ntext) need to be searched. Some of titles have carriage return,line feed and tab characters. I am preseting here script to reproduce my problem.
DECLARE @searchwordTable TABLE
(
searchword VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO @searchwordTable (searchword) VALUES('carriage long description')
DECLARE @DataTable TABLE
(
title ntext
)
INSERT INTO @DataTable (title) values('carriage long description'+char(13)+char(10)+'carriagelong')
SELECT * FROM @DataTable dTable,@searchwordTable srcWrdTable
WHERE '% ' + REPLACE(CAST(dTable.title AS VARCHAR(MAX)),char(13),'') + ' %' like '% ' + srcWrdTable.searchword + ' %'
I am expecting the above select statement should select title from @DataTable but not getting .I am not understanding what is going wrong with above select.
I am using BCP and one of the tables in my SQL contains a column of type nvarchar(500) - whose data are actually email messages such as:

I support the recommended revisions.
When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
How do i insert a carriage return at the end of an record that's being sent to a flat file? Currently, I get one long string, and would like for SSIS to put carriage returns at the end of each line.
How do I enable SQL Management Studio to allow me to directly copy text with carriage returns into a table?
I know that I can use the CHAR(13) statement when using T-SQL insert/update statements ('some text' + char(13) + 'some more text').
However when I copy text with carriage returns directly into a table column by right clicking the table, opening the table and editing the row directly, all text after the first carriage return vanishes. Only the text before the first carriage return is committed.
I've been looking for this online and on MSDN but no luck. I simply want to find all my CR in specific columns and later Replace them with a string (ie. --THIS-IS-A-CR--). The problem is I cannot even find/search CHAR(13) by using variations of the query below.
SELECT * FROM Incident WHERE (description LIKE '%CHAR(13)%') --I know this is incorrect
When I make a call to a stored procedure to update a record, the update does not happen. No error is thrown, there are just no rows updated. When I look at SQL Server Profiler, this is what I see: exec TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle @RecurringIssueVehicleID='00962233-6EC3-42CE-ABBD-1851F1176D63',@RecurringIssueID='66FE821A-9881-4368-B975-5B04975C5E16',@RecurringIssueProblemID='ABED20CD-CB37-4491-903F-553555EEE47C',@MarketID=1,@VehicleNumber=268,@AddedDate=N'12/14/2006 3:30:00 PM',@AddedBy=12,@ResolvedDate=N'12/15/2006 10:19:45 AM',@ResolvedBy=12
It seems to be putting a carriage return in the middle of one of my date parameter values, and also seems to be putting those values in double quotes. If I try to run this in SQL Management Studio, it throws an error. If I take out the carriage return, and fix the quotes, it succeeds. Here is my VB.Net code:
<DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)> _ Public Function Update_RecurringIssueVehicle( _ ByVal RecurringIssueVehicleID As Guid, _ ByVal RecurringIssueID As Guid, _ ByVal RecurringIssueProblemID As Guid, _ ByVal MarketID As Integer, _ ByVal VehicleNumber As Integer, _ ByVal AddedDate As DateTime, _ ByVal AddedBy As Integer, _ ByVal ResolvedDate As DateTime, _ ByVal ResolvedBy As Integer) As Integer dbCmd.CommandText = "TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle" dbCmd.Parameters.Clear() dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueVehicleID", RecurringIssueVehicleID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueID", RecurringIssueID) If RecurringIssueProblemID <> Guid.Empty Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueProblemID", RecurringIssueProblemID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MarketID", MarketID) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@VehicleNumber", VehicleNumber) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedDate", AddedDate.ToString()) dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedBy", AddedBy) If ResolvedDate <> DateTime.MinValue Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedDate", ResolvedDate.ToString()) If ResolvedBy <> -1 Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedBy", ResolvedBy) Dim retVal As New SqlParameter("@RetVal", SqlDbType.Int) retVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue dbConn.Open() dbCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() dbConn.Close() Return CInt(retVal.Value) End Function
