This code is storing the stage name in string format but one of the value contain & and because of it it showing & by replacing the string value
string stages = ''; //string type stages variable
for (string s :stagenames ){ //loop
stages = +stages+s+':'; //assigning value to the stages
System.debug(stages.unescapeHTML4()); //getting all the values inside it one by one
}//but one string is jack & Jill so instead of showing actual string it just showed me 'jack &'

I am trying to separate an entered name into 2 strings.
Each name is entered in the convention of lastName, firstName
or Ex: Smith, John
I would like to separate the name into a lastName and firstName variable by trimming the string before and after the comma and space.
I have tried
Dim nameSeparator() As Char = {",", " "}
Dim lastName = txtEditName.Text.TrimEnd(nameSeparator)
Dim firstName = txtEditName.Text.TrimStart(nameSeparator)
But after running this, lastName and firstName both equal the full string from txtEditName.Text
If you want to "split" a string in two substrings using a certain separator then you should use the proper method: string.Split
Only after the splitting you can remove unneeded characters at begin or end of a string using the string.Trim method
Dim input() as String = txtEditName.Text.Split(",")
Dim lastName = input(0).Trim()
Dim firstName = input(1).Trim()
Of course this example assumes that you have exactly the input described in your question. If you want to use this approach in a real application then you should check if the result from the splitting produces exactly two substring before trying to access the substrings
I have a list stored in database as varchar. When I read the list value, it is read as string. I'm trying to convert string to a valid list
Here are 2 example lists I have
str_db_bins = [10,20,30,40] (This is string)
The desired output is
str_db_bins_list = [10,20,30,40] (This is list)
I want to convert this to list. When I use split method I get [[,1,0...]] which is not the desired output
2nd situtation is
str_db_lov = ['id','num','val'].
When I use split method, again I get weird output
The desired output is to read this as list
str_db_lov_list = ['id', 'num', 'val']
How do I deal with these situations
Thanks
Pari
str_db_bins_list = eval(str_db_bins)
str_db_lov_list = eval(str_db_lov)
I have a listView with many fields and CheckBox next to each field. Screen similar to a FaceBook Profile screen with Privacy setting to each field. So friends can not see those fields if marked as Private.
On selection of CheckBox, i have to create a comma separated String.
Example,
FirstName Text ---> isFirstNamePrivate boolean
LastName Text ---> isLastNamePrivate boolean
...
I have to create a
String str = "FirstName,LastName"
if both are marked as Private.
If only isFirstNamePrivate is true then
String str = "FirstName"
Also if i receive a comma separated String from Service, with that i have to make those Boolean array.
Given::
String[] fieldNamesArray = "field1","field2","field3","field4","field5"};
Boolean[] isfieldPrivate = {true,false,true,false,true};
// fieldNamesArray.length will be equal to isfieldPrivate.length
Need to create below commaSeparatedStr from above given arrays.
//
String commaSeparatedStr = "field1,field3,field5";
Question is:
1) What is the optimized way to create a comma separated String.
2) What is the optimized way to create the Boolean array from the commaSeparatedString avoiding for loop on commaSeparatedStr .contains(str[n])
Given::
String[] fieldNamesArray = "field1","field2","field3","field4","field5"};
String commaSeparatedStr = "field1,field3,field5";
Need to create below Boolean array with commaSeparatedStr from above 2 arrays.
Boolean[] isfieldPrivate = {true,false,true,false,true};
// fieldNamesArray.length will be equal to isfieldPrivate.length
//
Where is the question part here?
If you are asking for a suggestion:
If there are 5 fields and first 3 are selected, make your string like
{1,1,1,0,0}
and pass it to your webservice. This would lighten the data package size.
I have data inside a data attribute, like so:
<div class="dashboard-module" data-rows="new Date(2013,10,04),12,"OR"##new Date(2013,10,17),2,"OR"##new Date(2013,10,09),2,"CA""></div>
Im trying to split this string up and use it in the data.addRow function:
rows = el.data('rows');
rowsarray = rows.split('##');
// Error: Row given with size different than 3 (the number of columns in the table).
$.each(rowsarray, function(index, value) {
data.addRow( [value] );
});
// the following works
data.addRow([new Date(2013,10,04),12,"OR"]);
data.addRow([new Date(2013,10,09),2,"CA"]);
data.addRow([new Date(2013,12,12),14,"AL"]);
I guess the commas inside the new date are being counted as different parts of the array?
I'm assuming that the double-quotes inside your data-rows attribute are escaped (otherwise the HTML is malforned).
When you call rowsarray = rows.split('##');, you are getting an array of strings, like this:
[
'new Date(2013,10,04),12,"OR"',
'new Date(2013,10,17),2,"OR"',
'new Date(2013,10,09),2,"CA"'
]
not an array of arrays. If you want to store your data in an HTML attribute, your best bet is to use a JSON-compatible format. The problem then becomes storing dates, since Date objects are not JSON-compatible, but that is easy to work around. Store your data like this instead:
[["Date(2013,10,04)",12,"OR"],["Date(2013,10,17)",2,"OR"],["Date(2013,10,09)",2,"CA"]]
I did two things with the data-rows attribute: first, I changed the dates from a format like new Date(2013,10,17) to a string like "Date(2013,10,17)". Second, I converted the string to a JSON string representation of an array of arrays (which uses the standard javascript array brackets [ and ]). Note that JSON requires the use of double-quotes for all internal strings, so you must either escape all internal strings to use with the data-rows attribute, or use single-quotes around the data-rows attribute string (eg: data-rows='<string>').
You can then parse that string for entry into your DataTable:
rows = JSON.parse(el.data('rows'));
// convert date strings to Date objects
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
var dateStr = rows[i][0];
var dateArr = dateStr.substring(5, dateStr.length - 1).split(',');
rows[i][0] = new Date(dateArr[0], dateArr[1], dateArr[2]);
}
data.addRows(rows);
Using Apex, I want to split a string and then rejoin it with the 'AND' operator as the separator.
I split the string successfully but having an issue in rejoining it.
String [] ideaSearchText = searchText.Split(' ');
// How to rejoin the array of strings with 'AND'?
How can I do this?
You can do this as of v26 (Winter 13) by passing your String[] to String.join().
String input = 'valueOne valueTwo valueThree';
String[] values = input.split(' ');
String result = String.join( values, ' AND ' );
Anonymous Apex output calling System.debug(result):
21:02:32.039 (39470000)|EXECUTION_STARTED

Note if the string object is too large you will get the exception Regex too complicated. In this case you can do something like the following:
Blob blobValue = (Blob)record.get(blobField);
// Truncate string then split on newline, limiting to 11 entries
List<String> preview = blobValue.toString().substring(0,1000).split('\n', 11);
// Remove the last entry, because The list’s last entry contains all
// input beyond the last matched delimiter.
preview.remove(preview.size()-1);
// In my use-case, I needed to return a string, and String.join() works
// as the reverse of split()
return String.join(preview, '\n');
