Convertion for hexadecimal to String

Hi All,
I need to convert some hexadecimal data to string.
I tried the function module: CRM_SVY_DB_CONVERT_HEX2STRING
but this is not giving me the correct result.
Could someone please help me to get the ASCII string from Hexadecimal data.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Try this code.
data: char(3) type c,
hex(4) type x.
field-symbols <fs> type any.
hex = '414243'.
assign hex to <fs> casting type c.
char = <fs>.
write:/ char.

How to convert BLOB into a String

Hi,
I got a blob column from the database.

Thanks in Advance.

A blob would be a byte-array, which you can use in the String(byte[]) constructor

I need a simple Converter for a selectBooleanCheckbox.

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to build a simple converter to go from a selectBooleanCheckbox value to a String and back.
I save a String ("Y" or "N") in my table but the checkbox returns a boolean. I need a Converter to do the conversion from TRUE to "Y" and FALSE to "N". Should be easy to do but as of now, mine won't even execute properly.
I get a
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Can't instantiate class: 'ca.sshrc.web.common.converters.BooleanConverterYn'.
I don't understand how getAsObject and getAsString work I guess.
Thanks

Hi,
Has anyone been able to make the converter for "<h:selectBooleanCheckBox>" work??
seems like the converter method itself is not getting invoked.
this is what i am trying to do..
Code in jsp is
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="testCheckBox" value="#{myBean.testCheckBox}" >
     <f:converter converterId="booleanConverter" />
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>entry in faces-config is
<converter>
       <converter-id>booleanConverter</converter-id>                  <converter-class>package.MyBooleanConverter</converter-class>
</converter>class MyBooleanConverter looks like this at the moment
public class MyBooleanConverter implements Converter {
     public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
          myBooleanClass myBoolean = new myBooleanClass(value);
          return myBoolean;
     public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
          return value.toString();
}     Have kept myBooleanClass as a simple wrapper for the Boolean class.
Same is working for string and integer but not in this case..
Am i going wrong somewhere... kindly help

Strange problem in converting between XML to string and vice versa

i have an application that needs to send an XML document
over the wire. For this reason, I need to convert the
doc into a String at the sending side and back to Doc
at the receiving side. This document is stored in a "CLOB"
column in a table in the database. I use XDK to retrieve
this entire row (including the CLOB - hence this is an XML
document which has a column that itself is an xml document in
string format - this is just the clob read in by XDK).
Thus the row looks like
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<col1> A <col1>
<CLOB_COL> ..clob value of an xml doc..</CLOB_COL>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
When I convert this document into String and back, one of the "<"
tags in the clob column document gets changed to "<" and hence
the parsing fails! I have used the latest label of the XDK build
to get the latest parser jar but still i have the same problem.
I am using the following routines for the conversion.
/* for converting document to string */
public static String convertToString(XMLDocument xml) throws
IOException
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
xml.print(pw);
String result = sw.toString();
return result;
/* for converting string to document */
public static XMLDocument convertToXml(String xmlStr)
throws
IOException,SAXException
ByteArrayInputStream inStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(xmlStr.getBytes());
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setPreserveWhitespace(false);
parser.parse(inStream);
return parser.getDocument();

How do you get the XML document? Do you use XSU? You can use:
String str = qry.getXMLString();
to get the result XML document in String.
XSU will escape all of the < and >. Or the the XML document in
one of the column will make the result XML doc not well-formed.
Not quite understand your problem. You can send me your test
case.

Converting part of the string to a date and subtract with sysdate.

HINT! In order solve this you must know how the pnr is assembled. Study this:
650323-5510, we only need the first six characters. They inform us about when the person (car owner) was born. In this case it is 23 Mars 1965. You have to use several oracle built-in-functions to solve this. Hint! Begin by converting part of the string to a date and subtract with sysdate.
select to_char(to_date(cast(pnr,'YYMMDDMM'))) from car_owner;
please what am i doing wrong. i need the result to be something like this
Hans, Rosenboll, 59,6 years.

Hi.
The main problem here is you have only last two digits of year. That could be the problem in a couple of years from now, when somebody born after 2k would get in to your database. For now if we ignore this problem the right solution would be :
<code>
SELECT months_between(trunc(SYSDATE),
to_date('19' || substr('650323-5510',
1,
6),
'YYYYMMDD')) / 12 years_old
FROM dual
</code>
Suppose you are expecting the age of the car owner as a result above code will give you that. One again notice the '19' I appended.
Best regards.

How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

How to convert DateField date to String ?

Hi,
I'm trying to convert DateField date to String.
How can I do it because Data class does not have String converting
methods...
Thanks
Krzysztof

Hello,
you can get an instance of Calendar and use it with the date as a long integer.
public Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
myDate=dateField.getDate();
cal.setTime(myDate);
myDateString=cal.get(Calendar.DATE)+"."+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+"."+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
Try it.
Unfortunately I have found that the MIDlet get a day less when I use the same long integer that I got from an application on PC. I don't realy understand why but I' still searching.
I hope it is usefull for you.

Converter-for-class

Is converter-for-class or any other "-for-class" attributes required to match against subclasses of the specified class, or just the class itself?
It you specify converter-for-class as Object, is the converter required to apply to every subclass of Object (i.e. every class), or just to those properties with a runtime value of exactly Object?
Thanks.

Hello BalusC,
thanks for reply. I'm definitely use JSF RI 1.2_13.
The problem is, that the converter-method public String getAsString( FacesContext p_ctx, UIComponent p_comp, Object p_value ) is never called.
But the other method public Object getAsObject( FacesContext p_ctx, UIComponent p_comp, String p_value ) is called.
BalusC, which JSF implementation do you use?

Having trouble converting array to spreadsheet string, storing the file and coverting back to array with complex numbers

I am working with a network analyzer. I have arrays made of 5 columns the first consisting of an integer and the next four consisting of complex numbers. I am converting the array into a spreadsheet string and then saving the file using the write characters to a file VI. That seems to work well as when I open the file in Excel all the data is there. However when I try to reverse the process, open file and convert back to array, I loose some of the data. Specifically the imaginary parts of my complex numbers are all going to zero. I have narrowed down the problem to be in the conversion from spreadsheet string to array and vice versa. I
think the problem may be with the 'format' input to the VI. I do not have an adequate resource for this so I am not sure what to put in to accomplish my task. Any takers?

Hi Biz
I don't think there is a direct way of converting a complex number to a
string, so when you convert the array to a spreadsheet string, the
numbers would be converted to real data.
However, you could try separating the real and imaginary parts using the
"Numeric: Complex to Re/Im" function, and then store these - either in
separate files or in adjacent columns/rows in the same file. Then, when
you read in the data again, use the "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function
to put the two "halves" together.
If you actually want Excel to interpret the numbers as imaginary, then
you'll probably want to create a string for each complex number of the
form "Re + Im*i" (after separating the Re and Im parts), by using
"String:Format into String" with 2 numeric inputs and the format string
"%f+%fi".
Reading the data back into Labview then would require splitting the
string into the 2 pieces by using "Stringcan from String" with 2
numeric outputs (smae precision as original numbers specified by the 2
Default Value inputs) and the same format string "%f+%fi", and then using
the above-mentioned "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function. It worked for
me, so if you can't follow what I am describing, send me an email and I
can email you what I did (LV 5.1.1).

Hi all,
I need to convert a hexadecimal number to character as I need to get rid of the Prefix 0x.
For example in a table the value is "0x551AF184FB14DC11944400093D000003".
Any sugession that I can query and find 551AF184FB14DC11944400093D000003 in return.
Tried convert, cast, select right function etc. Not able to set it right.
Thank you so much in advance.

SelectOneMenu: Error finding converter for component

I keep getting an error in my selectOneMenues saying
"Error finding converter for component myselectone".
The SelectOne elements contains both key and value as String.
The value that is to be set in my bean is also a String.
Why do I need a converter here and what is that converter supposed to be??
Beacause of this, the selectOneMenu want post.

Is the value which is bound to the selectOneMenu reachable?
Try logging the getter-method of the bound value. When you bind the value to a nested bean, the bean might have not been initialized.
I had the same problem with something like this
I had a Person class with a nested person-attribute object.
I bound the value of the selectOneMenu to one of the attributes of the nested person-attribute object, without instantiating the object first in the faces-config. After instantiating not only the person class as a managed bean but also the nested person-attribute object, all was well.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?
