lotus formula to Extract One Value from Text List.

Extract 1 Value from Text List:
Normally when trying to extract a particular value from a text list, you would use Script and extract the value with the array(index), but there is a simple way to do this with formula language For this to work, you must know which value you wish to retrieve, ie.. what number the value is in the list. Use @Subset to get your desired results. This example uses a nested @Subset with another @Subset.

For example:
If the field you are wanting to extract the value from is, Rakesh, Sunny, Bhavin, Rajesh, Jathin, Kuti and you want to extract the value "Rajesh" from the list, use the following in another field:
Eg:
Here fieldname is Friends
@Subset(@Subset(Friends;4);-1)

This first gets the value of the first 4 entries in the list, then extracts the last value from that list giving you the desired result "Rajesh", since Rajesh is the 4th value in the 1st list, and the last in the second.

Find the position of text Value in Text List:

Here, you can use @Member(value ; list) lotus notes formula function. That determines the position of a value in a string list.

Eg:
position := @Member("Rajesh";Friends)

This formula will return no 4 to the "position" variable.

Dim j As Integer

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set collection = db.UnprocessedDocuments

For j = 1 To collection.Count
Set doc = collection.GetNthDocument( j )
Set uidoc = ws.EditDocument(True,doc)

Find and Replace a Line Break Character in EXCEL

When you want to create a line break (line feed) in a cell, you press Alt + Enter, to start a new line. You can put one or more line breaks in a cell, to make the contents easier to read.

Find a Line Break
Line breaks are easy to add, but a little trickier to remove.

To find specific text in Excel, you can use Ctrl + F to open the Find and Replace dialog box. However, if you try to type Alt + Enter in the Find What box, you’ll just hear a beep from your computer. Excel won’t let you enter that shortcut.
Instead of using Alt + Enter in the Find What box, you can use a special shortcut -- Ctrl + J -- to enter a line break.
A line break is character 10 in the ASCII character set, and the Ctrl + J shortcut is the ASCII control code for character 10.

Find and Replace a Line Break
To replace a line break with a space character:

  • Select the cells that you want to search
  • On the keyboard, press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace dialog box, with the Replace tab active
  • Click in the Find What box
  • On the keyboard, press Ctrl + J to enter the line break character -- NOTE: Nothing will appear in the Find What box
  • Press the Tab key on the keyboard, to move to the Replace With box
  • Type a space character
  • Click Find Next or Find All, to find the cells with line breaks.
  • Click Replace or Replace All, to replace the line breaks with space characters.

Action button to set Date Value with Lotus Notes Formula Language

A quick and dirty way for doing this. No error checking, big assumptions about the input to the prompt being right.

1
2
3
4
5
nd := @Prompt([OKCANCELEDIT]; "Enter the New Date"; "YYYY/MM/DD."; @Today);
@If (nd ="";@Return("");"");
y := @Left (nd;"/");
m := @Left(@Right (nd;"/");"/");
d:= @right(@Right (nd;"/");"/");
1
2
FIELD DateFieldOnForm := @Date(@TextToNumber (y) ;@TextToNumber ( m)
;@TextToNumber ( d) )
The better, clean, way would be to use LotusScript and open a form in Dialog box mode, the form having a Calender tool on it.

Enable Telnet in Windows 7

It’s very rare use of Telnet these days, so it took a long time to notice that by default it was not packaged with Windows Vista and Windows 7

More than likely this was an attempt to make Windows more secure by default, as Telnet is very insecure. However, you can quickly re-enable Telnet by following these steps:

  1. Start
  2. Control Panel
  3. Programs And Features
  4. Turn Windows features on or off
  5. Check Telnet Client
  6. Hit OK

After that you can start Telnet via Command Prompt.

SQL Database Backup with Query

The tail of the transaction log usually refers to the contents of the database's transaction log that has not been backed up.  Basically, every time you perform a transaction log backup, you are backing up the tail of the transaction log.

Then why all the fuss over this?  Well, the complication starts when the database's data files are no longer available, perhaps due to a media failure.  When this occurs, the next logical step is to back up the current transaction log, and apply this backup to the standby database.  You can back up the transaction log even though the data files are no longer available, using the NO_TRUNCATE option e.g.

BACKUP LOG AdventureWorks TO DISK = 'G:\Backups\AdventureWorks_log_tail.bak' WITH NO_TRUNCATE

You can then use the resulting log backup to bring the standby database to the state the database was in before the failure.

This is another good reason to place your transaction log files on different disks from the data files.  If they were on the same disks, a disk failure would prevent you from taking a backup of the transaction log.

Another complication is when your database is using the bulk-logged recovery model, and the current transaction log contains minimally logged transactions.  In this situation, a transaction log backup needs to store the modified data pages (extents).  If the data files are not available, you cannot back up the transaction log, even with the NO_TRUNCATE option.

Lastly, in SQL Server 2005 and above, every time you try to restore a database which already exists, is using the full or bulk-logged recovery models, and the transaction log contains active transactions, an error similar to the following is displayed:

Server: Msg 3159, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The tail of the log for the database "AdventureWorks" has not been backed up. Use BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY to backup the log if it contains work you do not want to lose. Use the WITH REPLACE or WITH STOPAT clause of the RESTORE statement to just overwrite the contents of the log.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

This is just SQL Server's way of telling you that there are log records in the transaction log that have not been backed up. If the current transaction log can be discarded, you can use the REPLACE option to tell SQL Server to ignore the current transaction log e.g.

RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'G:\Backups\AdventureWorks_full.bak' WITH REPLACE
