How to handle JSV with a comma(,) containing value? - servicestack

Assume we have a string as follows:
string employeeDetails=[{Id:100,Name:John,Address:#39 ,street ,Country},{Id:101,Name:Brein,Address:#79 ,street ,Country}];
This is how i am Deserialising my string.
JsvStringSerializer jsv = new JsvStringSerializer();
List<EmploymentDetails> employmentDetails = jsv.DeserializeFromString<List<EmploymentDetails>>(employeeDetails);
As a result i am getting each employee address upto first comman
i.e.,
employeeDetail.Address value as "#39" instead of "#39 ,street ,Country"
This is happening due to JSV format with comma(,) as separated value.
How to handle this scenarios with JSV in ServiceStack? Thanks in Advance.

JSV uses CSV-style escaping where any string that requires escaping should be wrapped with double-quotes, e.g:
Address:"#39 ,street ,Country"

Splitting and parsing a String value in a pre-defined pattern in Groovy

Can someone please help me with how can a string value be converted into a predefined format by splitting the string?
For example:
If the
Stringvalue = "20210819"
needs to be converted as "08/19/2021"
(Splitting first four and then next two and again next two)
Thanks,
Thanks, #DaveNewton, I was able to do that as you suggested.
Stringvalue = "20210819"
valuedate=Stringvalue
valueyear=(valuedate[0..3]);
valuemonth=(valuedate[4..5]);
valueday=(valuedate[6..7]);
println (valuemonth+"/"+valueday+"/"+valueyear);

How can I consider special character(&) as value in one of the query parameter

In GET API I have value as,
title=my&title
where the value from query param title returns only my and splits from & character.
Can anyone help me with how can I include & in my value?
Your query parameters should be URL-encoded in order to differenciate a separating & from a random character.
The solution is to encode the value before sending it through the request. You can do so by passing your value to encodeURIComponent(). You can then parse it the same way and decode it using decodeURIComponent(), e. g. :
encodeURIComponent('my&title') -> 'my%26title'
decodeURIComponent('my%26title') -> 'my&title'

nodejs how to replace ; with ',' to make an sql query

I have a query that looks like this:
INSERT INTO table VALUES ('47677;2019;2019;10T-1001-10010AS;A05;International;TieLineKoman-KosovoB;L_KOM-KOSB;2018;NULL;NULL;;NULL;Tieline;NULL;10XAL-KESH-----J;0;3')
that is produced by parsing a csv file.
The query is not in a valid form, I have to replace all semicolons with the string ',' (comma inside single quotes). What I want to get is:
('47677','2019','2019','10T-1001-10010AS','A05','International','TieLineKoman-KosovoB','L_KOM-KOSB','2018','NULL','NULL','','NULL','Tieline','NULL','10XAL-KESH-----J','0','3')
I have tried to do this in many different ways, but I end up with backshlashes added in my string. This is what I get:
"INSERT INTO AllocatedEICDetail VALUES ('47677\\',\\'2019\\',\\'2019\\',\\'10T-1001-10010AS\\',\\'A05\\',\\'International\\',\\'TieLineKoman-KosovoB\\',\\'L_KOM-KOSB\\',\\'2018\\',\\'NULL\\',\\'NULL\\',\\'\\',\\'NULL\\',\\'Tieline\\',\\'NULL\\',\\'10XAL-KESH-----J\\',\\'0\\',\\'3')"
Any ideas how to do this properly without having the backslashes added?
Thank you!
//the string you have
const string = '47677;2019;2019;10T-1001-10010AS;A05;International;TieLineKoman-KosovoB;L_KOM-KOSB;2018;NULL;NULL;;NULL;Tieline;NULL;10XAL-KESH-----J;0;3';
//the string you need:
const targetString = string.replace(/\;/g,',');
You specify a small regex between the forward slashes in replace which is a simple ';', give it a 'g' flag for global which will replace all instances, and in the second argument supply what you need it replaced with.

Do we have any methods in mel to check string contained in some another String or not

Do we have any methods in mel to check string contained in some another String or not.
For Example:
I had String like "mel".
I had Another String like "melcode".
Do we have any idea how to check the String "mel" is available in String "melcode".
num indexOf(str inputString1, str inputString2)
if the return value is -1 then inputString1 does not contain inputString2
As mentioned in Is there any possible way to filter movelets using mel from another movlet?
Hi Jaya Sankar, you can use indexOf which returns -1 if the first input String does not contain the second input String. There are also startsWith and endsWith as methods.

Remove quotes from csv file using opencsv

I am trying to add changes data in a csv file:
This is the sample data:
DATE status code value value2
"2016-01-26","Subscription All","119432660","1315529431362550","0.0080099833517888"
"2016-01-26","Subscription All","119432664","5836995058433524","0.033825584764444"
"2016-01-26","Subscription All","119432664","8287300074499777","0.076913377834744"
"2016-01-26","Subscription All","119432664","14870697739968326","0.0074188355187426"
My code used to format the data:
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(new File(fileToChange)), CSVParser.DEFAULT_SEPARATOR, CSVParser.NULL_CHARACTER, CSVParser.NULL_CHARACTER, 1)
info "Read all rows at once"
List<String[]> allRows = reader.readAll();
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(fileToChange), CSVWriter.DEFAULT_SEPARATOR, CSVWriter.NO_QUOTE_CHARACTER)
writer.writeAll(allRows)
writer.close()
The output i get is this, with extra quote added instead of removing it.
""2016-01-26"",""Subscription All"",""119432660"",""1315529431362550"",""0.0080099833517888""
""2016-01-26"",""Subscription All"",""119432664"",""5836995058433524"",""0.033825584764444""
""2016-01-26"",""Subscription All"",""119432664"",""8287300074499777"",""0.076913377834744""
""2016-01-26"",""Subscription All"",""119432664"",""14870697739968326"",""0.0074188355187426""
I want to remove the quotes.
Please can someone help.
Also, is it possible to change the date format to yyyymmdd instead of yyyy-mm-dd?
allRows.each { String[] theLine ->
String newDate = theLine[0].replaceAll('-', '')
String newline = theLine.eachWithIndex { String s, int i -> return i > 0 ? s : newDate}
writer.writeLine(newline)
}
Thanks
When you instantiated your CSVReader you told it to treat no characters as quotes, therefore it read the existing quotes as data and did not remove them.
When you told CSVWriter not to add any quotes it honored your request. However, the input data contained quote characters, and the convention for including quotes inside a string in CSV is to double the quotes. Thus the
string value
ABC"DEF
gets coded in CSV as
"ABC""DEF"
So the result you see is the combination of not removing the quotes on input (you told it not to) and then doubling the quotes on output.
To solve this change the input option from NULL_CHARACTER to DEFAULT_QUOTE_CHARACTER. However be aware that if any of your data actually contains embedded quotes or commas the resulting output will not be valid CSV.
Also I think this might be a valid bug report against OpenCSV. I believe that OpenCSV needs to inform you if it is about to generate invalid CSV when you told it to omit quotes, probably via a runtime exception. Although I suppose they might argue that you chose to work without a net and should accept whatever you get. Personally I go for the "principle of least surprise", which IMHO would be not to double quotes when the output is unquoted.
Because quotation in your CSVReader is set to CSVParser.NULL_CHARACTER " is treated as normal character which is part of read token. This causes your array to contain data in form:
["2016-01-26", "Subscription All", "119432660", "1315529431362550", "0.0080099833517888"]
rather than:
[2016-01-26, Subscription All, 119432660, 1315529431362550, 0.0080099833517888]
So try changing option from CSVParser.NULL_CHARACTER to either
'"'
CSVParser.DEFAULT_QUOTE_CHARACTER (it also stores '"').
CsvToBean csvToBean = new CsvToBeanBuilder(new StringReader(csv))
.withMappingStrategy(strategy)
.withIgnoreLeadingWhiteSpace(true)
.withSeparator(',')
.withIgnoreEmptyLine(true)
.withQuoteChar('\'')
.withQuoteChar('"')
.build();
