Removing All End Of Line Character From A String

Im looking for an efficient way to remove all end of line character from a string.
Is there a function to do that or to replace them with another character?
Hello all,
Im looking for an efficient way to remove all end of line character from a string.
Is there a function to do that or to replace them with another character?
I need to build a query, or use a function to removing alfabetic Character from a string.
My string is
WI14000323-0003
The value i want to keep is : 14000323-0003.
I try using this SELECT:
SELECT STUFF(Upper(z.lote), PATINDEX('%[A-Z]%', Upper(z.lote)), 2, '') from mytable
but in this case i have only 2 letters WI, but in the future i dont know if is only 2 letters, 1 letter or more, then is not what i pretend.
How to write a function to remove duplicated characters only if they come in sequence.
Examples
darrk should return dark
eeagle should return eagle
redd should return red
corner should corner as it is as the r's are not in sequence.
I am using SSIS 2012 SP1 to import a comma delimited csv file into a SQL table.
One of the fields carries a time value:
Source = textfile, column=DT_STR(8), value format = "hhmmss", e.g. "011525"
Destination = field in SQL table, data type = time(0)
To get it from the textfile to the SQL table I am:
1.) Creating a derived column called [d_Time of Entry]with the following formula -
SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],1,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],3,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING([Time of Entry],5,2)
2.) Performing a data conversion task to convert [d_Time of Entry] from DT_STR(8) to time(0) The upload fails because values that start with a zero, i.e. times before 10am, have their leading 0's stripped before being derived. You can see this because "011525" is derived as "11:52:5" when it should be "01:15:25".

Thanks to reply.
I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have data in a column that starts with 1-4 characters followed by a dash then followed by an number of characters (ex: EU-Surgery).
How do I select everything to the right of the dash when the number of characters to the left of the dash varies?
I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC
$query = "SELECT LEFT(uninum,3), RIGHT(uninum,5), clmarea, Date FROM tblunimov";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<div class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<table class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<tr><th>ini</th><th>item</th><th>area</th><th>date</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
[Code] ....
I'm creating a table using a XML string and a stored procedure to the SQL Server. I'm having problems in just one field, it is a nvarchar(10) type. This field's string XML Schema is also nvharchar(10) type. It is called CodCanalPrice.
Today, the only values this field can assume are AA or BB or CC, (...), ZZ or (space)A, (space)B, (...), (space)C. Note that (space) is actually a space character. They all have 2 characters.
The XML data string of one data row is showed below:
<row id="1" (...many fields...) CodCanalPrice=" A" />
When the statement is executed, SQL server removes the first space (so in this case it is updated to A without space in the table). The others values that don't have an space before like AA or BB are updated fine. All others fields are also updated correctly.
So far I tried to replace the first space for but SQL Server doesn't accept this tag.
I have text in a description field which has a new line character which is causing the value from the column being displayed in 2 lines
'Receipt#
3 generated for the amount of $ 130.00'
How can replace the new line character with blank space ''.
Any suggestions and inputs would help
Thanks

I have a need to have new line character in some data. I am trying to insert and retrieve the data with the new lines char in it, but it does work. I need the new line char in the data as I need to do some further processing whenever the new line starts.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
Thanks for the help.
This are the ways I have already tried, but does not work
create table mytest (col1 varchar(max))
insert into mytest values (' line1 ' + CHAR(13) + ' line2')
update mytest set col1 = (' line1 ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + ' line2')
update mytest set col1 = 'line1
line2
aa
line3 '
update user03.amitatest set col1 = 'line1 ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) +
' line2 ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'aa ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'line3'

The result set from the above select is -
line1 line2 aa line3

I am writing a string to a text file using the below code:
DECLARE @MyText nvarchar(500)
SET @MyText = 'type This is my text >> c:MyLog.txt'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @MyText
What I want to know is. how do I write multiple lines to MyLog.txt without having to call out xp_cmdshell each time I want a new line in my log? Do I use newline character in @MyText like SET @MyText = 'type This is my text line 1</n>This is line2 >> c:MyLog.txt'
Expected output:
type This is my text line 1
This is line2
I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
There are various columns.
[SNO] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL ,
[DATT] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
[DATTA] [char] (3000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
[CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following
SQLException, with ErrorCode 0 and SQLState 08S01, to a
StaleConnectionException: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000
Driver for JDBC]Connection reset
at
com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
Can anyone please tell me what's wrong?

Anyone know how to check the length of a varchar data in a table? I want to delete rows that contains an entry that exceeds 100 characters.
I should be able to write a program to do it, but I am wondering if I can do it in SQL.
how do i update a table which has like two strings in 1 column like
blog, joe ?
i want to strip the joe into a new field and the blog into another field
update Agency
set firstname= substring(firstname,charindex(' ',firstname)+1 ,len(firstname))
i managed to strip the first name which is the string at the back but not the last name which is the string at the front
I have to write a query to update the table to remove dots .... from the string value.
so i could write.
UPDATE tbaddress
SET Title='New address'
WHERE Title='New address....'
but, there could be more than this specific record in the table, so i have to find each single record to do this. Is there a way to update the table so I can just remove the .... but rest of the text remain.
thanks
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to use an SQL Function to remove everything from the mess of characters below except 'Test.' Really, any message could be substituted, so it's not as easy to leave everything except the 'Test.' string.
{
tf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fnilfcharset0 MS Shell Dlg 2;}{f1fnil MS Shell Dlg 2;}}
{colortbl ;
ed0green0lue0;}
{*generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}viewkind4uc1pard x720cf1f0fs20 Test.f1par
}
It's RichText.
The fs20 could be fs24, fs25, etc. (any numbers). The end of the number would be the point to trim the beginning off.
The '' seems like it would be the point to start trimming the end off.
I've been experimenting with SUBSTRING together with CHARINDEX, but am just not getting even close to coming up with a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.
Hi,
I was wondering what would be the best way to remove special characters like, '-', '&' '(',')','#','*', etc... from a number string. To be specific a phone Number string where the string is >= 10.
Thanks, Mark
Hi all I was wondering whether it was possible to remove or delete part of a String in a Field? Lets take for example I have:
- A Table called: Table_1
- A Field called: MyField
- MyField contains the value: Hello I am on the msdn forums
Is it possible to perform an UPDATE Query which deletes part of that sentence? If this was hard coded it would be rather simple but if the phrase was changing which would lead to the sentence also changing is it possible to do this?
Lets say I wanted to remove the part which said msdn forums. Then UPDATE the field again which should leave out the bit msdn forums.
Appreciate the responses, Onam.
Is there a function in SQL that will find the first character of a character string?
Select Org from PR where id = '100'
Normally, Org will retuen a string such as '1:00'. But, all I want from this string is the first character, '1'.
Thank You
Hi all,
I am currently doing a mapping from text file to sql table. there is one column in the text file that contain more than 15,000 characters in it. it causes me an error because i was using varchar data type, in which i believe can only store 8000 char. can anybody tell me which data type to use? and also, will i be able to change the data type in the input column also? if yes, which data type should i change it to?
Thanks,

I usually do this through Access so I'm not too familiar with the string functions in SQL. My question is, how do you remove characters from the middle of a string?
Ex:
String value is 10 characters long.
The string value is X000001250.
The end result should look like, X1250.
I've tried mixing/matching multiple string functions with no success. The only solution I have come up with removes ALL of the zeros, including the tailing zero. The goal is to only remove the consecutive zeroes in the middle of the string.
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
DECLARE @Letters TABLE (Letter NVARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @Letters VALUES ('a'), ('A'), ('b'), ('B'), ('α')
SELECTLetter, REPLACE(Letter,'α','alpha')
FROM@Letters
In this case, the "α" is being replaced, but so are "a" and "A".
I have tried changing the datatype from varchar to nvarchar and also changing the collation.
I want to read a String - character by character.I mean If the string is 'SAMPLE'
then I want to go to each and every character in it 'S','A','M','P','L','E' to compare with another string for equality.
I hope I am clear.Is there a way that I can read it?
How can find out the repeated character in each row value of spacific column
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running into a couple of performance issues with regards to the parsing of a text string. We have a function that will take a comma delimited character string, parse out the individual values, and then populate a temp table with those values. The two issues are 1.) the parsing process is VERY slow and 2.) there's a max to how large the string can be - at some point it could easily be 8000 characters or more in length.
Here are the function and the stored procedure wher eit occurs:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String varchar(MAX), @Delimiter char(1))
RETURNS @Results TABLE (Item nvarchar(4000))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @INDEX INT
DECLARE @SLICE nvarchar(4000)
-- HAVE TO SET TO 1 SO IT DOESNT EQUAL Z
-- ERO FIRST TIME IN LOOP
SELECT @INDEX = 1
WHILE @INDEX !=0
BEGIN
-- GET THE INDEX OF THE FIRST OCCURENCE OF THE SPLIT CHARACTER
SELECT @INDEX = CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@STRING)
-- NOW PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT OF IT INTO THE SLICE VARIABLE
IF @INDEX !=0
SELECT @SLICE = LEFT(@STRING,@INDEX - 1)
ELSE
SELECT @SLICE = @STRING
-- PUT THE ITEM INTO THE RESULTS SET
INSERT INTO @Results(Item) VALUES(@SLICE)
-- CHOP THE ITEM REMOVED OFF THE MAIN STRING
SELECT @STRING = RIGHT(@STRING,LEN(@STRING) - @INDEX)
-- BREAK OUT IF WE ARE DONE
IF LEN(@STRING) = 0 BREAK
END
RETURN
