We are using MsDeploy with Manifest provider, and declareParamFile and setParamFiles.
We would like to replace the string below in a packaged 'runDeploy.cmd' file:
'SET SrvrName=Dev-ServerName' (w/o the quotes) .
SO the DeclareParam.xml file has param entry as below
<parameter name="DbServer" defaultValue="Prod-Server" >
<parameterEntry kind="textFile" scope="runDeploy\.cmd$" match="Dev-ServerName" />
</parameter>
However, the error that we get is
Parameter entry 'DbServer/2' could not be applied to 'C:\Src\bld\runDeploy.cmd'. Deployment will continue with the original data. Details:
No matches were found for the search string 'Dev-ServerName' (type 'TextFile')."
Not sure what is the issue with the plain text here. I have also tried various regex but did not work. Any hints what is wrong?
Thanks

The hyphen in the match Regex expression may be causing an issue. Try the following match Regex instead:
Dev.ServerName
The period represents any character and should match the hyphen.

Using MySQLAdmin. Moved data from Windows server and trying to replace case in urls but not finding the matches. Need slashes as I don't want to replace text in anything but the urls (in post table). I think the %20 are the problem somwhow?
UPDATE table_name SET field = replace(field, '/user%20name/', '/User%20Name/')
The actual string is more like:
https://www.example.com/forum/uploads/user%20name/GFCI%20Stds%20Rev%202006%20.pdf
In a case you are using MariaDB you have REGEXP_REPLACE() function.
But best approach is to dump the table into the file. Open it in a Notepad ++
and run regex replace like specified on a pic:
Pattern is: (https:[\/\w\s\.]+uploads/)(\w+)\%20(\w+)((\/.*)+)
Replace with: $1\u$2\%20\u$3$4
Then import the table again
Hope this help
If its MariaDB, you can do the following:
UPDATE table_name SET field = REGEXP_REPLACE(field, '\/user%20name\/', '\/User%20Name\/');
First, please check, what is actually stored in the database: %20 is a html-entity which represents a whitespace. Usually, when you are storing this inside the database, it will be represented as an actual whitespace (converted before you store it) -> Hence your replace doesn't match the actual data.
The second option that might be possible - depending on what you want to do: You are seeing the URL containing %20, therefore you created your database records (which you would like to fetch) with that additional %20 - And when you now try to query your results based on the actual url, the %20 is replaced with an "actual" whitespace (before your query) and hence it doesn't match your stored data.
I have a data driven subscription with the file name as one of the columns in the object that SSRS uses to fulfill the subscription.
The file name is the subject of the report. I have tested this a few ways and the error is happening with the file name, not when I pass the item as a parameter.
For example, the report as a single Parameter, Item.
The report is written to a file share:
Path: \\directory\store
Parameter: Item=Blue&White
File Name: Blue&White.pdf
I have tried substituting the "&" with other characters, and of course it works, but it is really important for the file to be named Blue&White.pdf
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I think it is interpreting the '&' as an argument separator as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
You may want to consider different encoding of the Unicode Character 'AMPERSAND' (U+0026). However since '&' is used as an escape character you options may be limited.
&
%26
\u0026
I am using a data driven subscription and used the SQL command to set the filename. The REPLACE function was used to change '&' to 'and'.
not sure how far I'm going to get with this, but I'm going through a database removing certain bits and pieces in preparation for a conversion to different software.
I'm struggling with the image tags as on the site they currently look like
[img:<string>]<image url>[/img:<string>]
those strings are in another field called bbcode_uid
The query I'm running to make the changes so far is
UPDATE phpbb_posts SET post_text = REPLACE(post_text, '[img:]', '');
So my actual question, is there any way of pulling in each string from bbcode_uid inside of that SQL query so that I don't have to run the same command 10,000+ times, changing the unique string every time.
Alternatively could I include something inside [img:] to also include the next 8 characters, whatever they may be, as that is the length of the string that is used.
Hoping to save time with this, otherwise I might have to think of another way of doing it.
As requested.
The text I wish to replace would be
[img:1nynnywx]http://i.imgur.com/Tgfrd3x.jpg[/img:1nynnywx]
I want to end up with just
http://i.imgur.com/Tgfrd3x.jpg
Just removing the code around the URL, however each post_text has a different string which is contained inside bbcode_uid.
Method 1
LIB_MYSQLUDF_PREG
If you want more regular expression power in your database, you can consider using LIB_MYSQLUDF_PREG. This is an open source library of MySQL user functions that imports the PCRE library. LIB_MYSQLUDF_PREG is delivered in source code form only. To use it, you'll need to be able to compile it and install it into your MySQL server. Installing this library does not change MySQL's built-in regex support in any way. It merely makes the following additional functions available:
PREG_CAPTURE extracts a regex match from a string. PREG_POSITION returns the position at which a regular expression matches a string. PREG_REPLACE performs a search-and-replace on a string. PREG_RLIKE tests whether a regex matches a string.
All these functions take a regular expression as their first parameter. This regular expression must be formatted like a Perl regular expression operator. E.g. to test if regex matches the subject case insensitively, you'd use the MySQL code PREG_RLIKE('/regex/i', subject). This is similar to PHP's preg functions, which also require the extra // delimiters for regular expressions inside the PHP string
you can refer this link :github.com/hholzgra/mysql-udf-regexp
Method 2
Use php program, fetch records one by one , use php preg_replace
refer : www.php.net/preg_replace
reference:http://www.online-ebooks.info/article/MySql_Regular_Expression_Replace.html
You might be able to do this with substring_index().
The following will work on your example:
select substring_index(substring_index(post_text, '[/img:', 1), ']', -1)
I am trying to retrieve some information from a website using regular expression. I ended up with an output containing html entity for a special character.
For example, instead of Côté I am getting Côté.
Please help in retrieving the actual string. TIA.
HtmlDecode should work for you:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7c5fyk1k.aspx
s = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(s)
In field post_content I have a string like this in nearly 800 rows:
http://somesite.com/">This is some site</a>
I need to remove everything from "> onwards so that it leaves just the URL. I can't do a straight find and replace because the text is unique.
Any clues? This is really my first foray into MySQL database modifications but I did do an extensive search before posting here.
Thanks,

Sounds exactly what you're looking for.

See this post: How to do a regular expression replace in MySQL?
Either that or you could just write a script in any lanugage which goes through each record, does a regex replacement and then updates the field. For more info on regex, see here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html
There's a number of options. One might be to use SUBSTRING_INDEX():
UPDATE
table
SET field = SUBSTRING_INDEX( field, '">', 1 )
It's possible - there is a syntax for User Defined Functions which would let you pass in a regular expression pattern that matches the link and strips everything else.
However, this is quite complicated for somebody new to MySQL, and from your question, this sounds like a one-off. In which case - why not just use Excel and then reimport the data?
Great stuff!
All seems doable with a little bit of time and self education.
In the end, I exported that table as a CSV in Sequel Pro and did some nifty find and replace work in Coda. Not as sophisticated as your suggestions, but it worked.
Thanks again,
