delimiter

I have a string and I would like to split that string by delimiter at a certain position. For example, my String is F/P/O and the result I am looking for is: Therefore, I would like to separate the string by the furthest delimiter. Note: some of my strings are F/O also for which my SQL below works fine and returns desired result. The SQL I wrote is as follows: SELECT Substr('F/P/O', 1, Instr('F/P/O', '/') - 1) part1, Substr('F/P/O', Instr('F/P/O', '/') + 1) part2 FROM dual and the result is: Why is this happening and how can I fix it? You want to use regexp_substr() for this. This should work

I want to iterate through a list of files without caring about what characters the filenames might contain, so I use a list delimited by null characters. The code will explain things better. # Set IFS to the null character to hopefully change the for..in # delimiter from the space character (sadly does not appear to work). IFS=$'\0' # Get null delimited list of files filelist="`find /some/path -type f -print0`" # Iterate through list of files for file in $filelist ; do # Arbitrary operations on $file here done The following code works when reading from a file, but I need to read from a

Is there any way to specify a field delimiter for more spaces with the cut command? (like " "+) ? For example: In the following string, I like to reach value '3744', what field delimiter I should say? $ps axu | grep jboss jboss 2574 0.0 0.0 3744 1092 ? S Aug17 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/java/jboss/bin/run.sh -c example.com -b 0.0.0.0 cut -d' ' is not what I want, for it's only for one single space. awk is not what I am looking for either, but how to do with 'cut'? thanks. Actually awk is exactly the tool you should be looking into: ps axu | grep '[j]boss' | awk '{print $5}' or you can ditch the grep

In a config file, I have a key to which I wish to assign a URL. The problem is that YAML interprets : and - characters as either creating mappings or lists, so it has a problem with the line url: http://www.example-site.com/ (both because of the colon following http and the hyphen in the middle) Is there an explicit way to escape ':' and '-' ? Or would it work to just put the whole thing in single quotes and call it a day? Ry- Quotes: "url: http://www.example-site.com/" To clarify, I meant “quote the value” and originally thought the entire thing was the value. If http://www.example-site.com/

System.out.println( Arrays.deepToString( "abc<def>ghi".split("(?:<)|(?:>)") ) ); This prints [abc, def, ghi] , as if I had split on "<|>" . I want it to print [abc, <def>, ghi] . Is there a way to work some regex magic to accomplish what I want here? Perhaps a simpler example: System.out.println( Arrays.deepToString( "Hello! Oh my!! Good bye!!".split("(?:!+)") ) ); This prints [Hello, Oh my, Good bye] . I want it to print [Hello!, Oh my!!, Good bye!!] . `. You need to take a look at zero width matching constructs: (?=X) X, via zero-width positive lookahead (?!X) X, via zero-width negative
