Printing Strings on same line questions

I need to know how to print the same number of _ (underscores) as there are letters in a given string. I already have the int of the number of characters in the string but how do i use that to print the same number of underscores in ONE line, not vertically. responses are appreciated.

In your loop that prints the underscores, use System.out.print("_"), rather than System.out.println("_"). Read the javadocs to see the difference between these two methods.

Printing everything on same line

Hi all,
I want to write text on a text File in a formatted manner, such that there is line break after every line.The problem I am facing is that it print everything on same line. When we use "/n" it generates a dummy character. We are using FileWriter
String s="Hello"+"\n"+"Everybody";
FileWriter f=new FileWriter("abc.txt",true);
f.write(s);
f.close();
I want every time this code is runs it should print sentences on different line.

Then I would recommend that you wrap a PrintWriter around your FileWriter and use its methods named println(), then you won't have to worry about newlines yourself. Since a newline is different depending on what OS you run your program on, that is a safer approach than just typing "\n" (which only works as newlines on Unix type OS's btw, on Windows it comes out as garbage when viewd in for example Notepad since Windows uses "\r\n" for newline)
Like this (reusing your code)
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("abc.txt",true);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println("Hello");
pw.println("Everybody");
pw.close();Another alternative is to use System.getProperty("line.separator") instead of "\n" to make it work on all platforms.

Is there a way to print over the same line of text?

Hey everyone, does anyone know if it's possible to write over the same line in a console window? I am formatting a diskette an currently it is going:
1 percent complete
2 percent complete
3 percent complete
4 percent complete
5 percent complete
I am currently doing:
System.out.println(bufferedReader.readLine());
to display this .. is there anyway to write over and over on the same line?
Thanks again.

I just thought of something!!! Try this:
System.out.println("When the zeros have printed twenty times the disk has been formatted\n");
System.out.println("|-----------------------------------|"\n)
Then add the zeros to the line underneath it as it formats. This will give a progress bar effect. The zeros, when completely done, should fill up the whole |---| segment.
Hope this helps.

Sapscript : Printing Text In same line

Hi Friends,
 I have created 2 standard text.
 I want to print the follwing in the same line -
 First standard text + <A hard coded value> + Second standard text.
 I have coded like this -
 /: INCLUDE SLP OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE ZH
 = : 999
 /: INCLUDE YEARS OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE ZH
 First two are coming in the same line but third one is coming in second line.
Please suggest.
Regards
Kishor

Hii
'=:' works but try it by increasing your window size
otherwise use READ_TEXT fm
You pass it the Text Identification Details
and it will retrieve the texts into the internal table (IT_TEXTS).
Internal table to store standard texts
DATA: IT_TEXTS like T_LINE occurs o with header line.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
 EXPORTING
 CLIENT = SY-MANDT
 id = "Text ID
 language = "Laguage
 name = "Text name
 object = "text object
 ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
 IMPORTING
 HEADER =
 tables
 lines = IT_TEXTS "Internal table
 EXCEPTIONS
 ID = 1
 LANGUAGE = 2
 NAME = 3
 NOT_FOUND = 4
 OBJECT = 5
 REFERENCE_CHECK = 6
 WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
 OTHERS = 8
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
The main inputs for the FM are Text name, Language, Text ID and Text object and can be located using the following procedure.
Step 1 Display the desired text with transaction (i.e. ME23)
Step 2 Show long text for a particular text (i.e. Deliver To)
Step 3 Select Header from the Goto menu (Goto->Header). The following screen should appear displaying info needed to retrieve text using the READ_TEXT function module (Text name, Language, Text ID, Text object)

SAPscript address name1 and name2 - print on the same line

I want to print name1 and name2 on the same line in an address on a check. Does anyone know how to do that ? I am usign the ADDRESS SAPscript command.

The ADDRESS command allows you to format according to different countries postal formats. If you want to put two lines in one, I don't think you can use the ADDRESS command, but will have to format it yourself.

Column printing on the same line in reports

guys,
i have a report with lets say n no. of columns. Now i want to display column 1 and 2 on the same line, i.e without giving a line break (given the fact that my report is page wise and not tabular). Can i do that? If so, then how?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Kindly reply asap

Hi Mike,
Sorry, I should have realized you were using LabVIEW's HTML VIs - and it doesn't look like they provide for Table "Nesting" (at least through 7.1)!
Here's a couple of VIs that might help you out. Util.HTML.Table builds the HTML for a table. SideBySide.vi uses this Util to embed two tables into an HTML Report.
I whipped these up just for you - so they may need "polishing". Should you need to fine-tune the table-appearance, I'm afraid you're on your own, though there's lots of help on the web. Don't worry, HTML is pretty easy - and you'll find a nice HTML resource here.
Cheers!

Printing on chars on the same line using system.out.println

i have the following string:
String msg = "This is a message brought to you by one and the only";
msg.toCharArray(); //converted to a char array.
i've written a loop which goes through each of the char elements
and puts it in it's own array:
int i = 0;
while (i < msg.length)
char[] test = {msg};
System.out.println(test);
the problem is system out println prints out each of the elements on seperate lines is
it possible to have them in one line to reform the original string?

No exactly sure what you are trying to do. Does this
help?
String msg = "This is a message brought to you by one
and the only";
char[] test = msg.toCharArray();
System.out.println(test);
not really because i want to convert the string to a char array and then reform it in another char array and then i can choose which elements i want included and not to be so that it can be printed on the same line. I can do it the following way:
char[] test = {test[0], test[1]]};
but say i want all the letters containing the chracter T (and again i can use the above solution and select the elements from the string but i don't want to hardcode it, say the string changes etc) in the test array so then i thought of writing a loop:
while (test[i] == 'T')
char[] test2 = {test[i]};
System.out.println(test);
i++;
but it puts each T in a new line...

Print data at new line in SAP Scripts

Hi,
Is there any way that i can print data at new line in sap scripts. I am looping my data and its printing in the same line but i need to print it at new line. Is there any formating options or any command to do that.
Thanks

Than you must take all the values from the internal table into the different variables and than print them.
In program:
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA_TAB INDEX 1.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
VAR1 = WA_TAB-FIELD1.
ENDIF.
* read all the lines and fill the VAR variables
In SAPScript:
/E LINE_VAR
/P &VAR1&
/P &VAR2&
/P &VAR3&
/P &VAR4&

I need to print in only one line

I don't know how i can print in the same line.
I use the System.out.println() and the System.out.print(), but now i need print a line in the same position.
thanks

You mean you want to overwrite the existing line ? Presumably not leaving any of the text previously printed ?
That's specific to the platform, and as such, Java doesn't directly support it. You want a curses library. Something like this will probably do:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacurses/
Alternatively, if you don't care if your code is portable and you know the details of the console in which the output will appear, you can insert control codes directly into your output. In point of fact, that will be adequate for quite a lot of platforms, since most common systems use a subset of the ANSI/VT100 control codes - which can be found here: http://www.fh-jena.de/~gmueller/Kurs_halle/esc_vt100.html

Standard text printed only on one line

Hi experts,
I have a standard text in several lines:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
but in the pdf form it's printing in the same line:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3...
Any suggestions ?
/Kiehn

Hello!
1) When you say you have Standard text is several line that does not mean, that system have is in several lines.
I don't know if you are aware or not, but while SAP system always stores long texts in 70 (or about so) char segments the fact that they are printed on one or several lines is controlled solely by formatting column that precedes each line in TLINES table. So, does your text has line breaks or new paragraph marks before those lines?
2) If everything in above is correct, than maybe you have to check the format you use to transfer text from SAP to Adobe (in interface/context). Please, recheck what is stated [here at SAP Library|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/04/ecfab99fc345f8826490df387aaf82/frameset.htm]. All this together with correct format for field (Rich text or Plain text) plus (as stated by poster above) "Allow multiple lines" and "Expand to Fit" (vertically) formatting should do the trick.

How to print a text of type text element and include text in same line

hi,
I am working on forms,
i have to display like this in the form
1.RFQ number, 2.Header text
explanation for numbers
1. The RFQ number is displayed using a variable so the text type is Text Element
2. Header text, has to be got form the standard text , so the text type is include text.
how can i print both in the same line.

Hi ,
You can use a charecter variable whos length >= length of RFQ no + Length of Header string .
Concatenate both in this variable. And print the variable.
Pls reward if useful.

How to print three different Barcodes in the same line

I am trying to print Barcodes for three different fields in a single line, it is taking the combined one & printing only one barcode for all those three fields.
When I tested it by printing them in diff lines, it is working fine. But the requirement is to print all fields in the same line

Hi
Look at this , may be useful
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

How can I make my user input on the same line as the question?

The only way I know of doing it is
System.out.println ("Please enter an uppercase letter of the English Alphabet: ");
letter = dataIn.readLine ();But that makes Please enter an uppercase letter of the English Alphabet:
**User input here, a line down**So how can I make it all fit into one line with this sort of layout:
Please enter an uppercase letter of the English Alphabet: **USER INPUTS HERE, SAME LINE**

change your call from println to print.
check the API docs for this stuff, it tells you everything you need to know.
Good Luck
