Iam using the Jira Rest Api to read data from our Jira-System. In most cases this works fine but i have a problem if & is in query.
I try following query:
http://jira-test.meinServer.de/rest/api/2/search?jql=labels="F&E"
which produces this error message:
"Fehler in der JQL-Abfrage: Die Zeichenfolge mit Anführungszeichen 'F' wurde nicht abgeschlossen. (Zeile 1, Zeichen 8)"
in englisch:
"Error in JQL-Syntax: The string with 'F' isn't closed. (line 1, char 8)"
I found that & is the problem. But i can't find some workaround or documentation how to escape this.
Someone got a solution for this?
You didn't encode your query string properly. Try: http://jira-test.meinServer.de/rest/api/2/search?jql=labels%3D%22F%26E%22
Reference
The part of an URI caught between ? and # characters is called the query string (the part after # is called fragment). Often the query is a sequence of key–value pairs (laid out as {key}={value}) separated with the & character.
If you analyze the URL you provided and split it by & you'll see that in fact you are passing two parameters in your query string:
parameter jql with a value of labels="F
parameter E" with no value
The second parameter is ignored as this particular REST endpoint doesn't expect it. As you can now clearly see you are passing a malformed JQL in your URL. It's because you want to include a special character in your JQL query.
To make it possible you have to properly encode your JQL. This is a common problem and most of the platforms provide tools to do that. Here are examples for JavaScript, C# and Java.

When a direct number for the TestPlanID is given it works.
When passing the value from sheet to a Query and then appending it to URL throws an error.
Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator & to types Text and Number.
Details:
Operator=&
Left=https://analytics.dev.azure.com/OrgName/ProjName/_odata/v3.0-preview/TestPoints?$apply=filter((TestSuite/TestPlanId eq
Right=39128
Can you try
eq"""&varTPID&"""
If value of varTPID is an integer/decimal, can you change the first line in power query to varTPID=Text.From(varTestPlanID) and then use eq"""&varTPID&"""
Also I think, TestPoints?"&"$apply needs to be changed to TestPoints?$apply
I have a plain SQL query written by a trusted administrator that is to be run in a Rails (4.2) app. I am sanitizing it with ActiveRecord::Base.send(:sanitize_sql, ...) to allow user inputs to act as conditions, using the ? character for bind variables. The code has to allow arbitrary SQL, so I'm not interested in the arguments about why this is not the Rails way, etc.
The problem is that I can not include ? in a result field in the SQL without the underlying replace_bind_variables method replacing an intended literal ? in the result.
A simple query for example would be:
select 'http://www.google.com?q=' || res from some_table where a = ?;
To sanitize:
ActiveRecord::Base.send(:sanitize_sql, [sql, 'not me'], :some_table)
The sanitization fails because the ? in the URL gets replaced with the data intended for the condition, leading to the exception:
ActiveRecord::PreparedStatementInvalid: wrong number of bind variables (1 for 2)
The question is, does sanitize_sql or some variant allow literal ? characters to be included in a query so that they are not replaced? Is there some way of escaping them?
In the end I read through the ActiveRecord source and couldn't identify a way to handle this situation without a lot of code changes. There doesn't appear to be a way to escape the ? characters.
To resolve it for this one query I ended up using the SQL chr() function to generate a character that would pass the santization step untouched:
select 'http://www.google.com' || chr(63) || 'q=' || res from some_table where a = ?;
ASCII character 63 is ?.
Although not a perfect solution, I could at least get this one SQL query into the system without having to make massive code changes.
I am currently using this formula to get all the data from everyone whose first name is "Peter", but my problem is that if someone is called "Simon Peter" this data is gonna show up on the formula output.
=QUERY('Data'!1:1000,"select * where B contains 'Peter'")
I know that for the other formulas if I add an * to the String this issue is resolved. But in this situation for the QUERY formula the same logic do not applies.
Do someone knows the correct syntax or a workaround?
How about classic SQL syntax
=QUERY('Data'!1:1000,"select * where B like 'Peter %'")
The LIKE keyword allows use of wildcard % to represent characters relative to the known parts of the searched string.
See the query reference: developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/querylanguage You could split firstname and lastname into separate columns, then only search for firstnames exactly equal to 'Peter'. Though you may want to also check if lowercase/uppercase where lower(B) contains 'peter' or whitespaces are present in unexpected places (e.g., trim()). You could also search only for values that start with Peter by using starts with instead of contains, or a regular expression using matches. – Brian D
It seems that for my case using 'starts with' is a perfect fit. Thank you!
I want to find all usages of my react component in code.
I tried <Button> but Special chars <> are not supported.
Tried "Button" and i get "Button" and button with lowercase as results as well.
So exact match is also not supported.
Is there is a way to find a string exactly without any additional results?
Unfortunately, search symbols (<> and "" in your scenario) is not supported in code search.
In tfs the symbol "" is used for finding an exact match to a set of words by enclosing your search terms in double-quotes. For example, "Client not found".
Is there is a way to find a string exactly without any additional
results?
Yes, but it seems a little complex, just reference my answer in another thread:Is there a way to make TFS code search recognize the "#" symbol?
Checked for some characters in code search. You can't use the symbol
characters except * and ? as part of your search query, which
including below characters: . , : ; / \ ` ' " # = ! # $ & + ^ | ~ < >
( ) { } [ ]. The search will simply ignore these symbols.
But you can use wildcard characters * and ? to broaden your search.
You can use wildcard characters anywhere in your search string except
as a prefix in a simple search string or a query that uses a code type
filter. For example, you cannot use a search query such as
*RequestHandler or class:?RequestHandler. However, you can use prefix wildcards with the other search filter functions; for
example, the
search query strings file:*RequestHandler.cs and repo:?Handlers are
valid.
Please see Broaden your search with wildcards for details.
If you want to search the strings including these symbol exactly(such
as '#' here), you can code search with other strings (eg,
testexample.com here) to narrow down the scope first, then copy the
specific code to text editor which support the symbols (eg,
Notepad++), then search stings with the symbol characters.
Besides, if you are using Git, another workaround is using the code
search tool Hound: a lightning fast code search tool, it supports
the symbol characters. Reference this thread to use it:

Also, there is a User Voice here to suggest the feature, you can go and vote it up to achieve that in future.
We're using Open Search Server v1.4. When the user enters a search for the text "Refrigerator temperature chart (5" we create a URL something like
http://10.192.16.160:8080/services/rest/select/search/<indexname/json?login=<login>&key=<apikey>template=search&query=Refrigerator%20temperature%20chart%20%285&start=0&rows=1000&filter=fileType%3afile&lang=ENGLISH
This fails with ...
HTTP Status 500 - org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault:
com.jaeksoft.searchlib.SearchLibException:
com.jaeksoft.searchlib.query.ParseException:
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse
'content:(Refrigerator temperature chart (5) OR content:("Refrigerator
temperature chart (5") OR
So adding an escape character %5C before the open bracket fixes this query like so...
http://10.192.16.160:8080/services/rest/select/search/<indexname/json?login=<login>&key=<apikey>template=search&query=Refrigerator%20temperature%20chart%20%5C%285&start=0&rows=1000&filter=fileType%3afile&lang=ENGLISH
Can someone point me to some documentation that lists all the special characters that can be used in an Open Search select query that need to be escaped when entered as part of the search string?
Yes you are right, characters listed in section "Escaping Special Characters" in the page you linked also need to be escaped in OpenSearchServer.
We recently released a fix allowing to escape those characters in query of type Search (field) for Searched fields configured with a pattern mode.
Previously escaping of characters was only available in query of type Search (pattern).
(more information of these two kind of queries here: http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/tutorials/functionalities.html#two-kinds-of-queries)

I believe Open Search Server is based on Lucene. The query syntax for the Lucene engine is described here...
http://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html
Lucene supports escaping special characters that are part of the query
syntax. The current list special characters are
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
To escape these character use the \ before the character. For example
to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
\(1\+1\)\:2
