Rolling up a string

i have a string field (bill to name)
i would like to take the following and foll it up to one value
abc industries
abc international
abc industries international
i would like them to all be grouped by ABC
i have tried
if instr({string field},"/")>0 then
split({string field},"/") [1]
i receive an error THIS ARRAY MUST BE SUBSCRIPTED for example ARRAY <i>,
im a bit confused can anyone tell me how to get this to work please, not familar with arrays.

Hi Sharon,
I'm not exactly sure what it is you are trying to do but your formula is erring out because of the subscript in the last line.
You can't subscript a function. Are you trying to get the first character from the split? It should look like:
StringVar X;
X := split({string field},"/");
X [1];
Next, what you described and what your formula are doing is confusing. Your formula is looking for "/" but I don't see any in your example.
Can you explain what you mean by rolling the records into one value? Are you trying to append them together or just group based on the "abc"?
To group them create a formula like:
If {string.field} [1 to 3] = "abc" Then
"abc"
Else {string.filed};
Now you should be able to group on this formula.
Good luck,
Brian

How do I use serial port read and show text, but not have it scroll off screen?

I am new-ish/returning amateur user of Labview and I am trying to edit the example VI "Advanced serial write and read VI" that is part of dev suite 2012. I need to use the string box to show ALL text received from serial port, always appending and only rolls off screen when more real data arrives at serial port.
What is actually happening is as more bytes (or no bytes AT ALL!) arrive during read time, current text rolls off the string box. Even when 0 bytes are received, screen is blanked out.  I am not very familiar with functions locations and even worse at understanding obscure references to functions, so please keep replies very basic so I can follow.
Just to be clear, I need the string window to behave like hyperterm does-always shows data and it is not pushed out of window arbitrarily.
Thanks,
Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK- lets start back at the beginning. I have a few questions...
WHy does incoming txt get placed at top of txt box and then scroll up?  why would it make more sense to input at the bottom and scroll toward the top. I have created this huge txt box that appears to be impossible to use.
I have attached example of txt boxes I have tried, and pic of VI I have edited. Bad marks for uglyness....

Geesh. Throw that tutorial away. Right now.
Start over at one of those tutorials:
Sun Java EE tutorial part II: [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc]
Coreservlet.com tutorials: [http://courses.coreservlets.com/Course-Materials/]
I also highly recommend a book of Bates & Sierra: [http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Servlets-JSP-Certified/dp/0596005407]

Error in java/jsp files

hi, i`m developing a web app for my boss. i usually only programm de web frontend part of the software so i'm not that used to java lang speifics. here is my prob:
i have a class which shoul save and retrieve the String "rolle"
package at.mobilkom.ears;
public class Sessionhandler
    private String rolle;
    public void setRolle(String r) {
     rolle=r;
    public String getRolle() {
    return rolle;
} i call this methods just as normal in a jsp file:
Sessionhandler.setRolle(rolle); and session.putValue("ROLLE", Sessionhandler.getRolle());i did all the import stuff so that's not the mistake. i'm developing with bea weblogic and i get the error message:
"Error: Method cannot be accessed from a static context"
so what should i do to make it work?? thx

The following code will work.

My first java program!! ALMOST done..I hope

I've just written my first java program (part of a class I'm taking).. It's feeling kinda awkward since I'm a C++ programmer.. I've written most of the code but I'm still having problems and I thought I should show it to you to get some help..
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Dice
private static Random generator = new Random();
int Die1, Die2, rolled, pairNum, pairSum;
public Dice()
   int[] Dice_arr={Die1, Die2};
   new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
   return;
}//end_func_Dice
   public static roll()
     rolled = generator.nextInt(6) + 1;
     return rolled;
    }//end_func_roll

        Dice.roll();
        Dice_arr[dieNum]=rolled;
       }//end_for_
     return;
    }//end_func_mainI need main to instatiate the Dice class and then use the toString to print the dice numbers and their sum 10 times..
I hope this doesn't need much effort,
Thanks a bunch in advance..

Right now, my opinion in java is that it's too
complicated for no reason compared to C++..It's not too complicated, it's just that you are new at this.
Here's a little example of a simple class with a simple main method, the rest figure it out yourself, and with time read some java books, you won't learn java just by knowing C++.
public class Human {
    // See this as C constants (although they're not their Equivalent)
    public static boolean MALE = true;
    public static boolean FEMALE = false;
    //member variables.
    private String name;
    private boolean sex;
    /** Creates a new instance of Human */
    public Human(String n, boolean s) {
        name = n;
        sex = s;
    }//End of CONSTRUCTOR.
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }//End of getName
    public String toString() {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.append("[Name: " + name);
        if(sex)
            sb.append(", sex: Male]");
        else
            sb.append(",sex: Female]");
        String returnValue = new String(sb);
        return returnValue;
    }//End of toString()
    //Just the main program, it could be at another class.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Human h = new Human("Pablo", Human.MALE);
        String theHumanAsAString = h.toString();
        System.out.println(theHumanAsAString);
    }//End of main method
}//End of class

Tecra Z40 - HDD Upgrade

Hi,
i bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HDD. As a replacement i bought the following SSD:
Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB
Unfortunately i didn't get it to work. On the BIOS i can see that the system recognizes the ssd. But neither the restored system boots, nor windows 8.1 Retail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?
The problems persist whether the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.
I upgraded to the latest bios version to 3.7, but that didn't change the result.

"But I think if this will not work, you will need to reinstall the system once again".
Well, Paupau that's basically what I did.
The long story :
I tried to boot with the SSD in a enclosure plugged on an USB port : still got BSODs.
I really didn't want to have to reinstall and parametrize everything : Windows patches, office, various programs, copy my files... But as I was having [bad problems while putting the PC in sleep mode|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=80456], I finally decided that a factory restore on the SSD might fix everything. Moreover, I had the original SSHD at hand in case it would not work.
So I booted, chose repair mode, thenToshiba's utility to do a factory restore.
Then the installation sequence rolled, with its string of reboots.
(By the way, one stage even failed, with a Windows crash, that would loop again and again after every reboot. So I finally chose to start in safe mode, and the installation routine could go on... weird.)
Next, I let Windows Update do its job, and installed my apps. Having had a bad experience with the quite old drivers that the Toshiba's Tempro utility advised me to install (see link above), I rather kept away from it, and used Intel's Driver Update Utility wich made me upgrade the wifi and bluetooth drivers. I made system resore points at every stage in case the sleep mode would cause BSODs again. Luckily, this didn't occur.
So here I am, with a much faster Tecra Z40, and no more sleep crashes. It was a chore, but I guess it was worth it.
Thanks for yout help, Paupau. :)

Any help would be appreciated, as I am becoming increasingly frustrated (I can't find where the pointer exception is and I have no idea what the "note" one is...). Thanks.

Programming strings in piano roll - pizzicato, legato, etc. - how?

Hi all
I have been messing around in Logic creating some pretty cool orchestral tunes. The one thing I am struggling with is how to go between different string hits when you choose, for example, Orchestral Section (another question is: what is an orchestral section - does this cover a range of instruments?).
I have managed to change from normal held notes to staccato hits using my modulation wheel on the keyboard but, as soon as I change tracks, it stops working.
Can anybody advice on what settings I should be looking at? I am quite serious about getting into composition and would love some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

Don't know which instrument sound you're talking about, but I can answer your question about orchestral sections:
Woodwinds
Brass
Percussion
Strings
In that order.
Those are the four basic orchestral food groups. Within "brass" are horns (which, depending on the music, can be considered part of the brass or the woodwinds). "Percussion" includes everything from harp to piano to xylophone, etc. If you're seriously into studying composition, you will also want to study orchestration and instrumentation (they are not the same things). Two books you should get (and marry) are "Instrumentation/Orchestration" by Alfred Blatter, and "The Study of Orchestration" by Samuel Adler. These are not the only such books but they're both great starting points. Oh yes, and they're expensive, but if you're serious you won't shy away from the price tag.

How do I cast a String to an int ? HELP !

Dear Java People,
If I have a program that outputs a String of the time ie
09:25
How do I code in Java to check this String to see if it is greater than 12 o'clock and if so tack on a String of "PM'.....
I tried
if ((int) hours.getDisplayValue()> 12 )
to attempt to add "PM" at the end of the String
The error message says:
"ClockDisplay.java": Error cannot cast java.lang.String to int at line 88, column 12
below is the program
Thank you in advance

Show end of label text when String is too long

I have a JLabel with a string in it, but the string is too long for the label, and only the first part of the string is visible.
How can I make the label show the end of the string?

I use the field as a rollover helper. When the mouse rolls over a cell or column in a table, it shows the value in the textfield.
Now, when the field gets a new value, it flickers because it first enters the string and shows it from the beginning and then scrolls to the end, causing a flicker.
Is there any way I can get around this?

Oversize A2 Paper Size value(string) for HP Designjet 500 Plus 24 (Paper Roll).

Greetings.
I am working at constructor’s bureau. Recently we decided to automate drawing printing from SolidWorks program (it’s a CAD software). I have written a code. SolidWorks API allows to choose for printing such settings as paper tray, scale, color, orientation and paper size. I am having an issue with the last option. Paper size gets set by passing value (string). Here are some of them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd319099(v=vs.85).aspx. I can get the needed value by “Recording macro” and selecting the size I need in SolidWorks
Such paper sizes as A4, ISO A4, Oversize A4 have different numbers. Same goes for A3, A2 and etc. In addition, the values are not universal. They can alter depending on printer.
We have 5 printers for various paper sizes (from A0 to A4) and I set correct value for 4 of them, but I have a trouble with – “HP Designjet 500 Plus 24”. This printer can print both A1 and A2. I managed to make A1 printing work (I just pass value 621 that means “Overize A1”, without changing paper tray), as for A2 the value must be 620 that is "Oversize A2", but it does not work. Only part of the drawing gets printed and it gets placed somewhere in the middle. I guess it just prints according to printer default settings. Maybe the value is not 620? If it is so, can you tell me the real one?
I can try to change default settings to match the A2 printing. However, the printer itself is a network printer. So changing some settings there might get someone in the office angry. So getting the right values is a perfect solution.
I am slowly getting desperate, because all printers work perfectly, except for one. Which makes the code unusable. I can post the code, but it will not help much, because I only need to set one or two values correctly.
One more thing, we are using roll of paper, so maybe I have to also set the paper tray, even if it is still the same as for A1?
Thank you in advance.

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Designjet forum here. There are a number of very knowledgable Designjet folks there.

Add Multiple Detail Items Using the Same Query String Parameter

I am using InfoPath 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
I have 2 forms libraries - Expense and Expense Details.
The 2 libraries are linked via a custom site column Expense ID.
The Expense form contains the main header type info you would typically find on an expense report; e.g., name, purpose, department, etc.
The Expense Details form contains multiple detail expenses related to the main expense report such as airfare, rental car, etc.
I have created a page that displays an expense report with all of the related expense detail items.
The page contains a link to add a new expense detail and passes the Expense ID of the Expense form to the Expense Detail form.
This all works fine. The problem comes in after the first expense detail form is submitted.
I can successfully submit the first detail item. However, the expense detail form loses the Expense ID that was passed to it after the first expense detail form has been submitted.
The parameter still shows in the URL but the detail form no longer shows the value of the parameter.
What do I need to do in order to be able to add multiple expense detail items using the same Expense ID that was passed to the form?
I have tried using a Submit Behavior of Open a new form, Close the form, and Leave the form open.
None of these options give me what I need. Thanks for your help.

Laura Rogers Blog
In case anyone stumbles upon this looking for an answer. Laura Rogers has the answer found in the comments section of her blog above. It’s not the best but it
does work. You have to add an extra Info Path Web Form for it to work. I know, you can roll your eyes.<o:p></o:p>
Steps.<o:p></o:p>
1. Add Query String<o:p></o:p>
2. Add the extra Info Path form to the page. This form will be a hidden on the page and will receive the value from the query string.<o:p></o:p>
3. Add your original Info Path form and have it receive a parameter from the hidden Info Path form.<o:p></o:p>
Now, when you hit save and it opens a new form the 3 Info Path form will function properly. <o:p></o:p>

Apache Roller (or mayb Struts 2) problem on Tomcat 5.5.20 on Debian Etch

Firstly I'm not at all sure whether this is the right forum for asking for help on this issue. People here have been very helpful in the past. If this post is in the wrong place, my apologies and please feel free to move it.
I am trying to install Apache Roller 4.0 on a Debian Etch system that has the Apache Tomcat 5.5 package installed. I am using the Sun Java package as well. You might think the solution to this problem might be better sought in the Apache Roller community or the Debian community. However the problem I am experiencing is a far more general Java problem (I think).

When I load up the application for the first time, following the Apacher Roller instructions for installation I get a bunch of IllegalAccessExceptions that AFAIK should not happen. An example is in the exception trail below.

Have you resolved your problem? I am running into the SAME EXACT issues with my application. The only difference is I'm not deploying to webapps/ROOT/; I'm deploying to my own directory based on my WAR file name (webapps/<web_application_name>/WEB-INF....blah blah). If you figured out your problem (believe me, I wish I could be of some help) I would LOVE to hear what you did/figured out.
