How to convert a string into a stream

Hi,
Actually, I have developed a small piece of code which is working well with the input from the User Console (Via System.in). The console input may be like 10 + 2. Now, I need to pass the input value through my code (Statically) while instantiate. What should i do?
The code is -
public static void main( String[] args )
throws ParseException, TokenMgrError, NumberFormatException {
EvalStr2 parser = new EvalStr2(System.in) ; // I need to pass my value as "10+2" instead of System.in
System.out.println("Result-->>"+parser.Start());
Waiting for your help.
Thanks
Venkatesh

Why not simply provide EvalStr2 with an overloaded constructor that takes a String as a parameter?
Also, to learn how to ask a better question, read

How to convert Java string into XML one?

With SAX I can parse an xml file, but I should create xml file by hands.
Ok, it's simple, but how to encode java string into XML constant
like "Hello & goodby" into "Hello & goodby" ?
Is there a standard method for such special xml characters?

If you are creating your XML "by hand" then just make sure your hands know that you have to do that. It isn't difficult to write a Java method to do it, if "by hand" means "in Java code". Otherwise your XML is not well-formed. And as far as I know there is no package that takes ill-formed XML and fixes it up.

How to convert a string into an objects name?

Hi
I have the following problem;
I have a string
String a = "e1"
and a method
call(Event e1) that calls the "Event" class with object the name of the string a.
How can I convert the strings name into an object so as to use it in the "call" method?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this helps you, but you can do things like this.
String a = "com.example.SomeEvent";
//Instantiate com.example.SomeEvent
Object o = Class.forName(a).newInstance();SomeEvent must have a non-argument constructor for this to work.
Class that will be instantiated depens on runtime value of String a, and can be different across different executions of the program.

How to convert a string into a collection of KeyEvents

I'm working on a program that must interact with a 3rd party application (closed to me, I have no access to the code or anything like that). I have been unable to send data to the program by getting its OutputStream. The only thing that has worked was using a Robot object to send individual key events (i.e. robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);). Therefore I'm looking to convert a string (many different strings actually) into a collection of their associated KeyEvents so I can send them to the other application. Does anyone know a good way of doing it, or is anyone able to help me with using the OutputStream?
Thank you!
(The 3rd party application is Attachmate InfoConnect, a Unisys terminal emulation program that I have to use to access a mainframe).

Here is a code sample.     public void checknumber(int vsize){
int total;
String anum;
anum = tf2.getText();
validnumber = true;
lines2combine = 1;     //default (an integer)
recs2make = 1;          //default
try{
lines2combine = Integer.parseInt(anum);
catch (NumberFormatException e){
          System.out.println("Entry for lines to combine not numeric");
     validnumber = false;
     d1Title = "Data Entry Error";
     d1Txt = "For number for lines to combine;";
     d2Txt = "Enter a number.";
     doMessage();

How to convert a string into double?

Hi. I'm having a string with 10340.8878 which is essentially a GPS latitude coordinate. I will need to break it up separately into double type 103,40 and 88.
103 refers to the degree
40 refers to the minutes
88 refers to the seconds
I will also need to perform a double conversion: the second separated double(40) divided by a factor of 60 and the third separated double(88) divided by a factor of 360.
How can i go about doing this?
Thanks!

How to convert a String into a date in yyyy-MM-dd using SimpleDateFormat?

Hi Guys,
I am using the following code
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class ValiDATE {
     private static boolean validateDateFormat(String strDate) {
          try {
               SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yy-MM-dd");
               try {
                    formatter.setLenient(false);
                    formatter.parse(strDate);
               catch (ParseException e) {
                    // invalid date/datetime format
                    return false;
          catch (Exception ignored) {
          return true;
     public static void main(String args[]){
          System.out.println(validateDateFormat("11111-11-11"));
}In the above snippet even if I pass the string parameter as "11111-11-11" it returns a new date and hence prints TRUE in the console, but I want the date to be in yyyy-MM-dd format that is no of years shouldn't exceed 4 digits in all.
I don't want to use RegEx, I know this can be done using SimpleDateFormat, but would like to know how that can be done.
I think it has to do something with this . ( [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#year|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#year] )

Java.slogger wrote:
Yeah I have gone through the javaDoc and it says For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 2, the year is truncated to 2 digits; otherwise it is interpreted as a number. The important part is:
JavaDoc:
Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for example, "-1"), is interpreted literally.
Do you know any workarounds else is using a Regex is the best approach?I don't see this as a problem. Everything behaves as designed and as is sensible.
So if you want to avoid dates with 5-digit numbers, I'd add something like:
if (parsedDate.after(CUTOFF_DATE)) {
throw new OhNoesThisIsEvilException("!");
}

How do I convert a string into a decimal

I've been tryin to convert a string into decimal but I can't get it to work at all. I keep getting an exception.
I've tried all of these:
double myDouble = Double.valueOf(string).doubleValue();
int myint = Interger.parseInt(string);
float myfloat = Float.parseFloat(string);
I can't get anything to work.
That string i'm reading in is an array containing values with decimals. ex: -45.09348
All the above work fine if there is no decimal, but fails when it comes to one.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks!

This works for me:String s = "-45.6789";
double d = Double.parseDouble(s);
System.out.println(d);Mark

How do you convert this String into a double?

Hi, in this code I want to convert String arg into a double. I'm trying to do this so that I can convert some string into a double in this calculator that I'm making. Here is the code:

String str = "351";
double arg = new double(str); // should convert the string into a double
System.out.println(arg);
System.out.println(str);
I keep getting errors in line 4, if any of you could help me out here I'll be thankful, i'm kinda new to java and my search for java's equivalent of alof() (its a function in C libraries that converts char[] into a double)lead me to this.

Use the Following:
String num = "123.2";
double d = Double.parseDouble(num);

How to convert a String to an Icon

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to convert a String (specifically one letter) to an Icon for a JTree. The program I am working on uses .png files for the icons at the moment, with each .png being a single uppercase letter. However, recent discussion has us wanting to change to something more dynamic, since we anticipate needing new letters in the near future.
My task is to modify the current codebase so that the Icons used to identify nodes in the tree are created from a Font within code, rather than reading in .png files. I have done some experimenting with creating a Label with just that String, setting the font and trying to extract the image using calls like createImage(int width, int height) and so on, but so far to no avail.
If I could figure out how to at least convert the String to an image, I could probably make it work (since I can play around with creating an ImageIcon with that image). Thanks in advance for any help.
Allan

Here is some quick and dirty code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BasicIcon implements Icon {
    private String text;
    public BasicIcon(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    public int getIconWidth() {
        return 16;
    public int getIconHeight() {
        return 16;
    public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
        Color old = g.getColor();
        g.setColor(c.getForeground());
        g.drawString(text, x, y+13);
        g.setColor(old);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JPanel cp = new JPanel();
        for (char ch = 'A'; ch < 'F'; ++ch) {
            cp.add(new JButton("letter " + ch, new BasicIcon(String.valueOf(ch))));
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BasicIcon");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(cp);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
}One thing that could be improved is the vertical positioning of the letter in the Icon.
The x,y values passed into paintIcon are the upper-left hand corner of the icon,
but the y value needed by drawString is the position of the String's baseline.
To do it right, use one of Font's getLineMetrics methods and play around with ascent.
