I´ve created a wildcard in crystal using the like-function:
If {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-MATNR} Like {?Parameter field with wildcard} Then True Else False
My entered pattern looks like this (for example): ??S6???-????
What I get back is kinda strange. Crystal is now looking for everything with an "S" in the third place, what comes after that "S" in the parameter field is ignored. So everything looking like ??S????-???? is found.
Is there a way to extend the Like-function (or any other option) to make him look for the exact input of the parameter field?
Thanks in advance!
I can't imagine that ...Then True Else False and... is really intended and think what you need is this:
If {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-MATNR} Like {?Artikel mit Wildcard}
and {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-BWART} = "601"
and {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-WERKS} = "0010"
and {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-WADAT_IST} = {?Datum}
and {Z_QM_INFOSET_CR_NEU.ZQM_DELIVERY-VTWEG} = "01" Then
True
Else
False

I have two arrays of strings and I want to check if a string of array a matches a string from array b. Those strings are phone numbers that might come in different formats. For example:
Array a might have a phone number with prefix like so +44123123123 or 0044123123123
Array b have a standard format without prefixes like so 123123123
So I'm looking for a regex that can match a part of a string like +44123123123 with 123123123
Btw I'm using Swift but I don't think there's a native way to do it (at least a more straightforward solution)
EDIT
I decided to reactivate the question after experimenting with the library #Larme mentioned because of inconsistent results.
I'd prefer a simper solution as I've stated earlier.
SOLUTION
Thanks guys for the responses. I saw many comments saying that Regex is not the right solution for this problem. And this is partly true. It could be true (or false) depending on my current setup/architecture ( which thinking about it now I realise that I should've explained better).
So I ended up using the native solution (hasSuffix/contains) but to do that I had to do some refactoring on the way the entire flow was structured. In the end I think it was the least complicated solution and more performant of the two. I'll give the bounty to #Alexey Inkin for being the first to mention the native solution and the right answer to #Ωmega for providing a more complete solution.
I believe regex is not the right approach for this task.
Instead, you should do something like this:
var c : [String] = b.filter ({ (short : String) -> Bool in
var result = false
for full in a {
result = result || full.hasSuffix(short)
}
return result
})
Check this demo.
...or similar solution like this:
var c : [String] = b.filter ({ (short : String) -> Bool in
for full in a {
if full.hasSuffix(short) { return true }
}
return false
})
Check this demo.
As you do not mention requirements to prefixes, the simplest solution is to check if string in a ends with a string in b. For this, take a look at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/string/1541149-hassuffix
Then, if you have to check if the prefix belongs to a country, you may replace ^00 with + and then run a whitelist check against known prefixes. And the prefix itself can be obtained as a substring by cutting b's length of characters. Not really a regex's job.
I agree with Alexey Inkin that this can also nicely be solved without regex. If you really want a regex, you can try something like the following:
(?:(\+|00)(93|355|213|1684|376))?(\d+)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Add here all your expected country prefixes (see below)
^^^ ^^ Match a country prefix if it exists but don't give it a group number
^^^^^^^ Match the "prefix-prefix" (+ or 00)
^^^^ Match the local phone number
Unfortunatly with this regex, you have to provide all the expected country prefixes. But you can surely get this list online, e.g. here: https://www.countrycode.org
With this regex above you will get the local phone number in matching group 3 (and the "prefix-prefix" in group 1 and the country code in group 2).
In Powershell, I am doing a SQL query for a single row of data. Lets say $data for example.
The response from the query a System.Data.DataSet type. Within it, there is a tables property that has the data I need.
$data.Tables
ServerName : Server15
SamAccount : Admin-Server15
LastPWDReset : 1/15/2019 12:00:00 AM
LastPWDResetAttempt :
I don't intend to write this data back out of anything. Instead, I want to display it, and convert the empty "LastPWDResetAttemp" to "NONE" where it is blank.
I thought it would be done like this:
$data.Tables.lastPWDResetAttempt = "None"
but that gives me an error The property 'lastPWDResetAttempt' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
I can't help but think I am missing some conversion from "Dataset" to "String".
I've tried to-string but in doing so, I ended up with just a string of data and not the headings. Nothing I could update, or easily use to build my eventual table.
My work around:
$webdata = "" | select ServerName,SamAccount,LastPWDReset,LastPWDResetAttempt
$webdata.ServerName = $data.tables.servername
$webdata.SamAccount = $data.tables.samaccount
$webdata.LastPWDReset = $data.tables.LastPWDReset
$webdata.LastPWDResetAttempt = $data.tables.LastPWDResetAttempt
$webdata.LastPWDResetAttempt = "Never"
works. I just can't believe there isn't an easier way, nor do I understand why I can view a list of the data, just to not then be able to set it.
I think it is because Tables is an array and does not have the property LastPWDResetAttempt.
You can try the following instead:
$data.Tables[0].Rows[0].LastPWDResetAttempt = "None"
Also I think your workaround, though it may contain more lines of code, is actually a better solution though.
I have the following suppression formula in the details section:
{JCJM.udRough} <= #1/1/2013 12:00#
AND
{JCJM.udTrim} <= #1/1/2013 12:00#
and it works. However, I also need it to suppress if the udRough or udTrim field is blank. When I try to add
OR {JCJM.udRough}=""
it says that a date-time is expected where the blank quotes are.
Can someone please help?
As a general rule in CR, if a field can be null then you should explicitly check for that case first in a formula, otherwise it will not evaluate properly. Otherwise, CR will treat it like an unhandled exception.
So in your case, CR is short-circuit evaluating the expression {JCJM.udRough}<=#1/1/2013 12:00# as the very first thing, sees that the field is null, and stops evaluating the rest of the formula since it has encountered an exception.
What you need is:
(isnull({JCJM.udRough}) or {JCJM.udRough} <= #1/1/2013 12:00#)
and (isnull({JCJM.udTrim}) or {JCJM.udTrim} <= #1/1/2013 12:00#)
Try
if ISNULL({JCJM.udRough})
Then true
else false
This is from my understanding from your question if you are searching for something different let me know will try to answer it.
The application I work on is using a Crystal Reports to present reports to the user. I am using Visual 2010, but the report was created by a previous employee some years back using Visual2005.
The basic setup is that the client application make a request to the server that uses a xsd that define the data-set it sends back. Generally this work like expected, but I am having some problems with evaluating booleans.
A recent task consider of adding the dataset with a field name TrueWeekday that control if certain numbers should be printed out or not depending on if a date is a regular weekday or have some special local meaning that might affect the sampled data. The data is always used in some formulas so I can not exclude it from the dataset.
My first attempt involved defining the new field as a boolean and in the formula for the report I wrote
if {Header.TrueWeekday} then
CStr({Detail.Flow})
else
""
This had the result that no matter if the value in TrueWeekday was false or true the flow was presented. I debuged the server to verify that the variable indeed got the expected value so the problem happened in the Crystal Reports or in the transfer of data to Crystal Reports.
To solve this particular problem within the timeconstraints of the task I changed the field to the type string and wrote
if {Header.TrueWeekday} = "false" then
CStr({Detail.Flow})
else
""
This worked like a charm.
My problem here is not urgent since I have a working solution, but I am worried that this problem might create more subtle dataintrigity problems.
What might be the cause of this and how do I solve it?
Header.TrueWeekday is probably being passed as a string so that when you do if {Header.TrueWeekday} its testing a string as a boolean in which case if the string contains anything it evaluates to true and thus causes your problem
Work in a different project made me realize that .Net is probably serializing the boolean as the text string true/false. If then Crystal Reports does sloppy import and only check
input != 0
you will get the result that both true and false map to true after the transfer.
I have a simple formula in crystal syntax which looks something like this :
if isdate(totext({Absence Details.Return to Work Interview Date})) = true
and {Absence Details.Return to Work Interview required} = true then
1
else
0;
This is the actual code of the formula
but the else part is never getting executed, when the condition is not true report just shows blank. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks in Advance.

Maybe you have some null value in your fields - in such case crystal just returns null. You then need either "convert null values to default" setting for report or explicit testing against nulls.
Edit: NM, code was posted to the comments. Doesn't look like this is the issue.
My guess, assuming you've debugged correctly is that you've got a semicolon somewhere you shouldn't.
if {something} = x then
do something;
else
do something different;
instead of
if {something} = x then
do something
else
do something different;
This would cause the behaviour, assuming it doesn't choke on the orphaned else clause. But as the comments say, short of posting real code, we can only guess at what's going on. It could be as simple as your evaluation is always true.
Change the 0 to a 7 and see if it actually prints 7. Some report generation tools (and I have little experience with Crystal but quite a bit with others) will leave fields blank if they're zero - this often helps in reading the report by reducing unnecessary clutter.
If the 7's print out, then that's what the problem is, and it's a matter of figuring out how to get Crystal to output an actual 0.
That may be a matter of configuring the output field or even stting it to a textual "0" instead of numeric 0.
Of course, if that doesn't print out 7's, then feel free to let me know.
