I have a function that I have to run for each character in a string that I receive through TeraTerm. But how can I iterate through every character of the string if I receive all of them together?

I want output like below
VENKATA,KRISHNA
Can anyone help me with this
Check out the Ereplace function - it allows to replace certain characters so you could rplace " with '' (empty string).
An alternative is TRIM - you can specify which character the command should trim and also if All occurrences or Both (from both sides of the string) plus more.
I am trying to write a Powershell code to identify a string with a specific character from a filename from multiple files.
An example of a filename
20190902091031_202401192_50760_54206_6401.pdf
$Variable = $Filename.Substring(15,9)
Results:
202401192 (this is what I am after)
However in some instances the filename will be like below
20190902091031_20240119_50760_54206_6401.pdf
$Variable = $Filename.Substring(15,9)
Results:
20240119_ (this is NOT what I am after)
I am trying to find a code to identify the 9th character,
IF the 9th character = "_"
THEN Set
$Variable = $Filename.Substring(15,8)
Results:
20240119
All credit to TheMadTechnician who beat me to the punch with this answer.
To expand on the technique a bit, use the split method or operator to split a string every time a certain character shows up. Your data is separated by the underscore character, so is a perfect example of using this technique. By using either of the following:
$FileName.Split('_')
$FileName -split '_'
You can turn your long string into an array of shorter strings, each containing one of the parts of your original string. Since you want the 2nd one, you use the array descriptor [1] (0 is 1st) and you're done.
Good luck
i am facing issue while converting unicode data into national characters.
When i convert the Unicode data into national using national-of function, some junk character like # is appended after the string.
E.g
Ws-unicode pic X(200)
Ws-national pic N(600)
--let the value in Ws-Unicode is これらの変更は. getting from java end.
move function national-of ( Ws-unicode ,1208 ) to Ws-national.
--after converting value is like これらの変更は #.
i do not want the extra # character added after conversion.
please help me to find out the possible solution, i have tried to replace N'#' with space using inspect clause.
it worked well but failed in some specific scenario like if we have # in input from user end. in that case genuine # also converted to space.
Below is a snippet of code I used to convert EBCDIC to UTF. Before I was capturing string lengths, I was also getting # symbols:
STRING
FUNCTION DISPLAY-OF (
FUNCTION NATIONAL-OF (
WS-EBCDIC-STRING(1:WS-XML-EBCDIC-LENGTH)
WS-EBCDIC-CCSID
)
WS-UTF8-CCSID
)
DELIMITED BY SIZE
INTO WS-UTF8-STRING
WITH POINTER WS-XML-UTF8-LENGTH
END-STRING
SUBTRACT 1 FROM WS-XML-UTF8-LENGTH
What this code does is string the UTF8 representation of the EBCIDIC string into another variable. The WITH POINTER clause will capture the new length of the string + 1 (+ 1 because the pointer is positioned to the next position after the string ended).
Using this method, you should be able to know exactly how long second string is and use that string with the exact length.
That should remove the unwanted #s.
EDIT:
One thing I forgot to mention, in my case, the # signs were actually EBCDIC low values when viewing the actual hex on the mainframe
Use inspect with reverse and stop after first occurence of #
I want a unique id for a particular call in asterisk currently I am using ${CDR(uniqueid)} which gives me a decimal value like 12344.4321 .
My problem is that I want a non-decimal value cause I am using this id on various places its causing some issue.
Is there a variable from which I can get a non-decimal unique id for each calls in asterisk dialplan?
You can use MD5 or HEX function and convert decimal to hex string.
You also can just add some pre-defined string to decimal value
NONDEC${CDR(uniqueid)}
We have a web site and WinForms application written in .NET 4.0 that allows users to enter any Unicode char (pretty standard).
The problem is that a small amount of our data gets submitted to an old mainframe application. While we were testing a user entered a name with characters that ending up crashing the mainframe program. The name was BOËNS. The E is not supported.
What is the best way to detect if a unicode char is supported by EBCDIC?
I tried using the following regular expression but that restricted some standard special chars (/, _, :) which are fine for the mainframe.
I would prefer to use one method to validate each char or have a method that you just passed in a string and it returned true or false if chars not supported by EBCDIC were contained in the strig.
First, you would have to get the proper Encoding instance for EBCDIC, calling the static GetEncoding method which will takes the code page id as a parameter.
Once you have that, you can set the DecoderFallback property to the value in the static ExceptionFallback property on the DecoderFallback class.
Then, in your code, you would loop through each character in your string and call the GetBytes method to encode the character to the byte sequence. If it cannot be encoded, then a DecoderFallbackException is thrown; you would just have to wrap each call to GetBytes in a try/catch block to determine which character is in error.
Note, the above is required if you want to know the position of the character that failed. If you don't care about the position of the character, just if the string will not encode as a whole, then you can just call the GetBytes method which takes a string parameter and it will throw the same DecoderFallbackException if a character that cannot be encoded is encountered.
You can escape characters in Regex using the \ . So if you want to match a dot, you can do #"\." . To match /._,:[]- for example: #"[/._,:\-\[\]] . Now, EBDIC is 8 bits, but many characters are control characters. Do you have a list of "valid" characters?
I have made this pattern:
string pattern = #"[^a-zA-Z0-9 ¢.<(+&!$*);¬/|,%_>?`:##'=~{}\-\\" + '"' + "]";
It should find "illegal" characters. If IsMatch then there is a problem.
I have used this: http://nemesis.lonestar.org/reference/telecom/codes/ebcdic.html
Note the special handling of the ". I'm using the # at the beginning of the string to disable \ escape expansion, so I can't escape the closing quote, and so I add it to the pattern in the end.
To test it:
Regex rx = new Regex(pattern);
bool m1 = rx.IsMatch(#"a-zA-Z0-9 ¢.<(+&!$*);¬/|,%_>?`:##'=~{}\-\\" + '"');
bool m2 = rx.IsMatch(#"€a-zA-Z0-9 ¢.<(+&!$*);¬/|,%_>?`:##'=~{}\-\\" + '"');
m1 is false (it's the list of all the "good" characters), m2 is true (to the other list I've added the € symbol)
