I have a function which outputs a string with or without spaces.
I want to set a variable to the function output. I use the following command:
set name [get_name_function object]
The problem is that if object name contains spaces (i.e. name with spaces), the whole name is putted in curly braces (name is equal to {name with spaces}).
How can I get the correct name?
It sounds like get_name_function is returning a Tcl list, not a string. You might want to use
set name [join [get_name_function object] " "]

In dealing with the headache of the different rulesets with TEXT escaping and JSON escaping, I've come across the issue where double escaping is required to convert a string to a JSON literal. For example, the original UPDATE looks like this:
UPDATE sourcing_item_data SET data_JSON='{"test": "test \ test"}' WHERE ID = 1;
The above simply removes the '\'.
The problem is I can't see how we get a single backslash into the system. Using two \'s causes the Invalid JSON error. Using three \'s does the same. Using four \'s puts in two \'s.
How does one get a single backslash into a JSON literal from a string with MySQL?
Also, has anyone written a SP or Function that scans a string that's supposed to be converted to MySQL JSON to ensure the string is "scrubbed" for issues (such as this one)?
Thanks!
Four backslashes works.
UPDATE sourcing_item_data SET data_JSON='{"test": "test \\\\ test"}' WHERE ID = 1;
You need to double the backslash to escape it in JSON, and then double each of those to escape in the SQL string.
If you print the JSON value it will show up as two backslashes, but that's because it shows the value in JSON format, which means that the backslash has to be escaped. If you extract the value and unquote it, there will just be one backslash.
select data_JSON->>"$.test" as result
from sourcing_item_data
WHERE id = 1;
shows test \ test

please look here:
UPDATE cars_tbl
SET description = '{\rtf1'
WHERE (ID=1)
Description field is "blob", where my RTF document is to be stored.
When I check updated data I always find
{
tf1
\r simply disapears. I tried to find solution on the web, but no success. My rtf files are corrupted on many places, because the escape characters used in the string are substituted. How to suppress this substitution and update field with string as is?
Thanx for advice

Backslash is an escape character, so to keep it you need a double backslash:
UPDATE cars_tbl
SET description = '{\\rtf1'
WHERE (ID=1)
As an aside \r is a carriage return.. and it hasn't disappeared in your data; it is responsible for tf1 appearing on the line below the {.
You can achieve this with a more generic approach
use of QUOTE() in mysql
MySQL QUOTE() produces a string which is a properly escaped data value in an SQL statement, out of an user supplied string as argument.
The function achieve this by enclosing the string with single quotes, and by preceding each single quote, backslash, ASCII NUL and control-Z with a backslash.
example
UPDATE cars_tbl
SET description = QUOTE('{\rtf1')
WHERE (ID=1)
UPDATE
to escape your RTF you can also just use REPLACE this way all your \ will become \\
Example
UPDATE cars_tbl
SET description = REPLACE('{\rtf1', '\', '\\')
WHERE (ID=1)
I'm writing a test case in robot framework. I'm getting the response in below json string:
{"responseTimeStamp":"1970-01-01T05:30:00",
"statusCode":"200",
"statusMsg":"200",
"_object":{"id":"TS82",
"name":"newgroup",
"desc":"ttesteste",
"parentGroups":[],
"childGroups":[],
"devices":null,
"mos":null,
"groupConfigRules" {
"version":null,
"ruleContents":null
},
"applications":null,"type":0
}
}
From that I want to take "_object" using:
${reqresstr} = ${response['_object']}
... but am getting the error "No keyword with name '=' found" error
If I try the following:
${reqresstr}= ${response['_object']}
... I'm getting the error "Keyword name cannot be empty." I tried removing the '=' but still get the same error.
How can I extract '_object' from that json string?
When using the "=" for variable assignment with the space-separated format, you must make sure you have no more than a single space before the "=". Your first example shows that you've got more than one space on either side of the "=". You must have only a single space before the = and two or more after, or robot will think the spaces are a separator between a keyword and argument.
For the "keyword must not be empty" error, the first cell after a variable name must be a keyword. Unlike traditional programming languages, you cannot directly assign a string to a variable.
To set a variable to a string you need to use the Set Variable keyword (or one of the variations such as Set Test Variable). For example:
${reqresstr}= Set variable ${response['_object']}
${reqresstr}= '${response["_object"]}'
wrap it inside quotes and two spaces after =
There is a syntax error in your command. Make sure there is a space between ${reqresstr} and =.
Using your example above:
${reqresstr} = ${response['_object']}
I'm getting the value of a field from a mysql database. The value has single quotes in both sides like this: 'foo'.
When I retrieve the data using a PHP method from the html template, I get this code:
'foo'
but I want it shows just 'foo' (with the quotes).
Any idea?

' is the ASCII code for apostrophe-quote.
If using PHP, use html_entity_decode() around the data being displayed from the database.
i.e. echo html_entity_decode($database_field_data);
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php
use str_replace.
echo str_replace("'" , "'" , $data['string']);
Im trying to use an expression to a sub package in SSIS however it always errors out stating that it cannot find the dtsx file. Ive copied the path to explorer and it seems to be correct.
The error also states that expression cannot be written to the property. My code is below.
#[User::vRoot] + "\Employees.dtsx" with #[User::vRoot] being a variable stored in SQL
Any Ideas
Try to escape the backslash in the expression using an additional backslash.
#[User::vRoot] + "\\Employees.dtsx"
In such a scenario where I need to concatenate folder and file name, I always do it this way. I usually create two variables named FolderPath and FileName. Let's assume FolderPath contains C:\temp\ (make sure it ends with a back slash) and FileName contains Employees.dtsx.
I will create a third variable named FilePath and will set the EvaluateAsExpression property of this variable to true. I will set the following expression in this variable so it dynamically evaluates the value.
#[User::FolderPath] + #[User::FileName]
Hope that helps.
Backslash is an escape character here, so if you want to represent a literal backslash, it's "\\".
I also suggest, as a general rule, instead of hardcoding a backslash in the string concatenation, to use this method to consider potential trailing backslashes in the first variable:
#[User::vRoot] + (RIGHT(#[User::vRoot], 1) == "\\" ? "" : "\\") + "Employees.dtsx"
