Assign sysdate into a string variable ?

Hi
How to assign a sysdate into a string variable.
Pleae help me...

Merlina

Basically impossible, since the two things can reasonably be described as a "sysdate" -- either a long or a Date object -- aren't Strings.
Also I suppose you could reformat them as a String. But there are a lot of ways you could do that (a String representation of the long, in decimal or hex or octal or any arbitrary base, or a Date formatted in any arbitrary way, etc.).
What exactly do you want to do, and why?

  • How to catch exception into a String variable ?

    I have a code

            }when i open log i find

    can i get the error message from e.printStackTrace() into a String variable ?
    I want the first line of that big stacktrace in a String variable.
    How ?

    A trick is to issue e.printStackTrace() against a memory-based output object.
    void      printStackTrace(PrintStream s)
             // Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
    void      printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)
    //          Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.Edited by: BIJ001 on Oct 5, 2007 8:54 AM

  • How to store serval char variables into a string variable?

    I have serval char variables, but i don't know how to put them together (without using arrays). I am thinking to store these char variables into a string variable but i don't know how to do it. For example,
    char letter1 = 'a', letter2 = 'b', letter3 = 'c';
    String letters;
    then how can i do to make letters = "abc" from using letter1,2,3?
    I am just a beginner of Java, if anyone can help me, i will appreciate that very much!!!

    String letters=""+leter1+letter2+letter3;is fine and dandy. What it actually compiles to is
    String letters = new StringBuffer().append(letter1).append(letter2).append(letter3).toString();Which ofcourse is much more code to write, but still good to know.
    So do see the API for java.lang.StringBuffer.

  • I want to read the content of a text file dropped in a watched folder into a string variable

    I have a workbench process with 2 variable.
    inDoc (DataType=Document/input/required)
    outStr (DataType = String/output)
    The document being passed to the workflow is a text file with 4 lines of text in it.  when the text file is dropped into the watched folder, it will be assigned to the inDoc parameter in the workflow.
    My workflow needs to extract the 4 lines of text and write it into a string (outStr).
    Id like to use the FileUtilsService.ReadString service but i can't since its input parameter is the file path.  When i do, i get the following error...

    which is what i expected...
    I've also tried with the Script.executeScript to call some java code but im not too strong in java and in all the examples i find, the file pointer requires a file path.
    import java.io.*;
    FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
    OR
    File f = new File(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
    OR
    File f = patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc");
    Any clue how to resolve my problem?

    Try the following code snippet to read the String content from the file recieved through watched folder endpoint.
    com.adobe.idp.Document inputDoc = patExecContext.getProcessDataDocumentValue("/process_data/inDoc");
    java.io.InputStream inStream = inputDoc.getInputStream();
    byte[] dataBuffer = new byte[inStream.available()];
    inStream.read(dataBuffer);
    String strData = new String(dataBuffer);
    patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/outStr",strData);
    The code is not tested, hence if you find any mistakes, correct and test the functionality.

  • How to compare numbers in a string variable?

    I have a powershell script that is grabbing the output of a website and storing it into a string variable. What I would like to do is check a line in the output which contains two numbers - the number of emails sent out of the total number of emails.
    I have not come up with a way to do this that works. I was thinking of maybe using a regex, but there are other numbers I don't care about that keep getting caught.
    Here is a sample of what is contained in the string variable:
    Email ID: 46862270 : Succeded. Time Taken: 00:00:00.0924511
    Email ID: 46862272 : Succeded. Time Taken: 00:00:00.0493887
    -- Sent 250 of 250 emails successfully. Total Dispatch Time: 00:00:08.1406995
    --State Written to DB. Time Taken for DB Write: 00:00:00.4611053
    Here is another sample:
    Email ID: 46865840 : Succeded. Time Taken: 00:00:00.9333887
    -- Sent 17 of 17 emails successfully. Total Dispatch Time: 00:00:01.2416905
    --State Written to DB. Time Taken for DB Write: 00:00:00.0402957
    So if I have the above contained in a variable called $httpResponse how can I find only the line that starts with -- Sent
    and then subtract the first number from the second number?
    So for example if I have this:
    Email ID: 46865840 : Succeded. Time Taken: 00:00:00.9333887
    -- Sent 207 of 217 emails successfully. Total Dispatch Time: 00:00:01.2416905
    --State Written to DB. Time Taken for DB Write: 00:00:00.0402957
    I would want the check to return 10. Is this even possible?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Sure.
    $String = @'
    Email ID: 46865840 : Succeded. Time Taken: 00:00:00.9333887
    -- Sent 207 of 217 emails successfully. Total Dispatch Time: 00:00:01.2416905
    --State Written to DB. Time Taken for DB Write: 00:00:00.0402957
    if ( $string -match 'Sent (\d+) of (\d+) emails .+' )
    { $FailedEmailCount = [int]$matches[2] - $matches[1] }
    $FailedEmailCount
    10
    Each set of parens will designate a capture group, and those can be referenced from $Matches after a successful -match.
    Just remember that they will all be strings, and to do a math operation you have to cast at least the one on the LH side to a numeric type first.
    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

  • Reading a binary file to string variable does not populate correctly

    Hi, I am new to Adobe Air/Flex and I'm trying to read a
    binary file which also contains text in "cleartext". The problem
    I'm having is that when I call FileStream.readUTFBytes method, only
    the first 6 characters are showing up in my string variable
    "contents" when I debug it in FlexBuilder or use a trace command
    and debug it. I have also tried with other types of files but I
    have a similar problem unless it's a non-binary file.
    Am I doing something incorrectly or should I be reading a
    binary file differently than the way I'm reading it currently?
    The source code is shown below.
    TIA,

    It's difficult to tell what it is, it looks like a binary
    pipe symbol but I can copy it from TextPad for example. Some of the
    characters following it cannot be copied from TextPad which I
    assume is because it's null. I can read the whole file in C#/.Net
    and assign it to a string variable without any problems but perhaps
    Air is somewhat limited to binary content.

  • Can I preserve carriage returns in a string variable from SQL Server?

    I have an OLE data source that pulls data from sql server via a SELECT query.  One of the fields is an NVARCHAR(max) which goes into a string variable which is later used in an expression.  I am noticing that in the expression, carriage returns
    / line breaks in this field are being lost.  Does anyone know how I can preserve these in the expression?

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I am certain there are both \r and \n in the database as when I print the field and then copy/paste to textedit to show the hidden characters, I can see both the CR and LF's.  
    I have implemented a workaround that is by no means elegant, but it gets the job done.
    I found that \r and \n will evaluate in an expression but if they are part of another string variable, SSIS escapes them. My workaround was to change my OLE_DB select statement (which fetches the custom SQL query) to explicitly change the hidden characters
    to '\r' and '\n' respectively:
    SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE([CUSTOM_SQL],char(13),'\r'),char(10),'\n')
    Then, in my SSIS expression, I de-escaped these characters:
    REPLACE(REPLACE(@[User::vAlertCustomSQL],"\\r","\r"),"\\n","\n")
    Now when the expression is executed, the SQL is formatted correctly and oddly placed comments in the query no longer break the query.  

  • Stupid question: getting sysdate into repository variable (11g)

    Hi, I'm having a complete brain fade and can't figure out how to select current sysdate into a dynamic repository variable. I've done the following:
    1. Created init block
    2. Set data source to the connection pool from one of my Oracle databases
    3. Set the default database string to "select trunc(sysdate) from dual"
    4. Created a dynamic variable STP_TODAY with default initializer of DATE '1900-01-01'
    5. Check in and save the RPD
    When I go into answers, I can see the variable, but it's always getting the 1900-01-01 date. Obviously I'm doing something dumb - can someone help?
    Thanks!

  • How to load a text file (ASCII) into a TS string variable?

    I need to load a ASCII file into a TS string variable for subsequent processing. I tried the SecuenceBuilder DLL (in the examples directory) but it seems that this DLL has a bug. Some text files are not loaded properly. I have also tried the kernel32 functions (openfile, createfile, readfile ... ) handling them as a C program, but with no success. The property loader feature of TS is not the suitable solution for me, because I would have to modify all my text files to include some specific fields (step name, variables, starmarker ...). Doy you know an alternative procedure to load text files or any DLL that implements what I look for ? Any help would be grateful. Cesar ([email protected])

    Hi Cesar,
    I don't know if you have found a solution, but attached is a DLL built in VC that will read the text out of a file into a TestStand variable. The attached sequence file \SequenceFile1.seq contains a step type that is set to call the DLL responsible for reading the file. It reads the file specified under Step.FilePath and stores the data in Step.ReadData. Please let me know if this works for you. I have attached the source as well.

  • Doubt about  a null value assigned to a String variable

    Hi,
    I have a doubt about a behavior when assigning a null value to a string variable and then seeing the output, the code is the next one:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
            String total = null;
            System.out.println(total);
            total = total+"one";
            System.out.println(total);
    }the doubt comes when i see the output, the output i get is this:
    null
    nulloneA variable with null value means it does not contains a reference to an object in memory, so the question is why the null is printed when i concatenate the total variable which has a null value with the string "one".
    Is the null value converted to string ??
    Please clarify
    Regards and thanks!
    Carlos

    null is a keyword to inform compiler that the reference contain nothingNo. 'null' is not a keyword, it is a literal. Beyond that the compiler doesn't care. It has a runtime value as well.
    total contains null value means it does not have memory,No, it means it refers to nothing, as opposed to referring to an object.
    for representation purpose it contain "null"No. println(String) has special behaviour if the argument is null. This is documented and has already been described above. Your handwaving about 'for representation purpose' is meaningless. The compiler and the JVM don't know the purpose of the code.
    e.g. this keyword shows a hash value instead of memory addressNo it doesn't: it depends entirely on the actual class of the object referred to by 'this', and specifically what its toString() method does.
    similarly "total" maps null as a literal.Completely meaningless. "total" doesn't 'map' anything, it is just a literal. The behaviour you describe is a property of the string concatenation operator, not of string literals.
    I hope you can understand this.Nobody could understand it. It is compete nonsense. The correct answer has already been given. Please read the thread before you contribute.

  • How to read a string from file & assign the val to a variable in batch file

    Hi,
    How to read a string from a file and assign the value to a variable then return the value to the screen in windows batch file?
    Any suggestions?
    thanks.

    Unless this is a homework question then I don't see the purpose of doing this, but....
    You should be looking a the supplied package utl_file to get the string out of the file, dbms_output to display the string and then google windows batch/command files calling sqlplus to execute your program.
