How to convert a string to date and then compare it with todays date???

Hello.
I want to set a format first for my dates
DateFormate df = new SimpleDateFormate("yyyy-mm-dd");
once this is done then I want to convert any string to date object in the above formate
String str="2001-07-19";
Date d = null;
try{
d = df.parse(s);
}catch(ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
First of all there is something wrong above,cus what I get for this is
Fri Jan 19 00:07:00 MST 2001
where as it should have been
2001-07-19... to my understanding.
once this part is done I need to get current date in the above set format and compare the
current date and the date I set.
I will appreciate the help.
Thanks

for the output part:
a date is a point in time
the output depends on the format you specify for output
using for example a SimpleDateFormat.
You only specified the format for parsing (which is independent for that of output) so java uses some default format ... see the DateFormat.format() method for details.
for the comparison stuff, I just posted a little code snippet in this forum a few minutes ago.
the hint is: Date.getTime() returns milliseconds after a fixed date

How to convert a string to date using OLEDB function?

Is there any function similar to OCIDateFromText()?
I have to read the date from a text file and store it in the sql database in a date column.
Please suggest how to do it?
Thanks in Advance.

In addition, SQL Server 'likes' YYYYMMDD format to operate with dates.

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.

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.

Converting from spreadshet string to array and then back to spreadsheet string

My questions is; why is the Spreadsheet string to array function creating more data than the original string had when you change the array back into a spreadsheet string. Im trying to analyze a comma delimited file using array functions since my column and row size is constant, but my data varies. Thus my reason for not using string parsing functions which would get more involved and difficult. So, however, after i convert to a 2D array of data from the comma delimited file I read from, and then I convert back to string using the Array to Spreadsheet String, I get added columns to the file, which prevents another program from receiving these files. Also, the data which I am reading is not all contiguous, it has gaps in some places for empty data. Looking at the file compared to the original after it has gone from string to array and then back to string again, looks almost identical except for the file size which got larger by 400 bytes and where the original file has empty spaces, the new file has a lot of commas added. Any idea?
Charles

The result you get is normal when the spreadsheet string contains rows of uneven length. Since the array rows have the same number of elements, nil values are added during the coonversion. And of course, the back to string conversion keep those added values in the string, with the associated commas.
example : 3 x 3 array
1,2,3
4
5,6,7
is converted into
1 2 3
4 0 0
5 6 7
then back to
1,2,3
4,0,0
5,6,7

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Easy Question! How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops?

How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops? (Same as subject..)
Thanks! I'm loving STP so far. I came from Sony Sound Forge so it's been difficult finding something that can compare, but I think I have it now! Lot's of advantages for STP too.

I think you're confusing the audio loops with MIDI loops. The blue loops are audio loops which will play only on audio tracks. You can't 'play' those with a keyboard because they are actual audio files. The green loops contain MIDI data that corresponds with a software instrument, and if you drop them onto a Software Instrument track, they will open that instrument which you CAN play with an external keyboard or the caps lock keyboard.
I might be missing some loops, but when I searched for Bell Tower I found only one, and it is a blue loop. So it can only be played as an audio loop on an audio track. However, if it were a green loop, you would NOT drop it on an external MIDI track (I think that's what you're trying to do if you're dragging it onto the 'Grand Piano MIDI instrument'), but you would create a SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT track, and drag it on that. Any internal sounds you want to play from Logic's instrument you'll do from Software Instrument tracks, and not MIDI tracks.
What you should do to find a good chime sound that you can play with the caps lock keyboard is to create a Software Instrument Track, open the Library tab, and search there for a good chime. This will search all of the instruments and presets that Logic has for all of its internal instruments. Try 'Tubular Bells' and see if that works for you.
If you need to use the bells from that loop, do what SC suggested, and take the hits from the audio file and load them into a sampler. Then you can play them the way you want to. If you don't know how to make a sampler, it's a bit complicated. Look up EXS24 in the manual, or check out
