Bit char string...need help

Hi I am trying to convert a bit char string to something useful. Basically I have an activex tool that allows me acess to a serial port based scale.
I send a weight request command and it sends me this gibberish:
°®°° ìb ÇR
Thank I try to do a tostring() and get this:
\u00b0\u00ae\u00b0\u00b0, on line 1, column 21, is not a valid identifer name.
Hmm.. anyone have to deal with bitchar strings coming from serioal ports or know what i am dealing with here?
Thanks
Frank

Basically you need to access the string as a byte array - I think
there's a method getBytes() that you can apply to a string.

Spliting a string -- need help

hai everybody,
i have a string say
str="1,5,10,12"; //dynamic values
i need to spilt this string and assign values like
if 1 then "one"
if 2 then "two"
if 10 then "ten"
how can i do this.can i use array or stringTokenizer.which 1 will sound good.
please anyone help me out.
thanks in advance
regards
Koel

*** Ceranith, if you start your array with String[] words = { "Zero", .....[/b] then you don't need to subtract the 1 when you parse the integer, just a suggestion.
You could try it using a hashTable.java.util.Hashtable hashtable = new java.util.Hashtable();
hashtable.put("0", "zero");
hashtable.put("1", "one");
hashtable.put("2", "two");
hashtable.put("3", "three");
hashtable.put("4", "four");
hashtable.put("5", "five");
String str = "1,3,4,4,4";
java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(str, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
String token = st.nextToken();
String value = (String)hashtable.get(token);
System.out.println(value);
}or you could go and do it in code, if you don't feel like adding all the numbers from 1 to 1million...
something along the lines of this... not fully working, I couldn't be bothered, sorry ;-)String theNumber = st.nextToken();
String myNumber = "";
if(Integer.parseInt(theNumber) <= 19) { // don't forget your error handling
myNumber = getNumber(theNumber);
else if( Integer.parseInt(theNumber) <= 99) {
// loop through the number checking each position in the string
// This is the difficult part, which I will leave up to you as an
// exercise (don't you just hate it when people do that ;-)
else if(Integer.parseInt(theNumber) <= 999) {
... etc
public String getNumber(String str) {
return (String)numbers.get(str);
public String getDecade(String str) {
return (String)decades.get(str);
private void init() {
numbers.put("0", "zero");
numbers.put("1", "one");
numbers.put("19", "nineteen");
decades.put("2", "twenty");
decades.put("3", "thirty");
decades.put("9", "ninety");
decades.put("10", "one hundred");
private Hashtable numbers = new Hashtable();
private Hashtable decades = new Hashtable();

Essbase Client 32 bit on the Solaris SPARC 64 bit Cognos server - Need help

Hello All,
I have a SunSolaris SPARC 64 bit OS on which i have the 32 bit Cognos 8.4.1 installed.
I now wanted to install a 32 bit Essbase client on this server.
can anyone please let me know if there exists a 32 bit essbae client which can be installed on the SunSolaris SPARC 64 bit OS ?
Thanks you in advance.
MS

I will asume the latest version of the essbase client
"EPM System Installer installs both 32-bit and 64-bit Essbase Client on a machine with a 64-bit operating system."
Once it is installed you may need to update the environment variables to point to the 32bit client.
Cheers

So you are invoking Flash Player in your own apps - where did you find the instructions how to do so? You are obviously not using the correct instructions, as your apps are looking for an old version of Flash Player (Flash.ocx).

BDM 6 using Office 2010 on Windows 64 Bit Not Working Need Help...?

I've installed BDM6 on my 64bit Windows 7 environment and have found that Desktop Manager cannot find a trace of Office 2010
I then checked the Technical spec and found out that a 64bit system is unsupported... Which I find amusing....
Does anybody have a work around solution so I can synchronize my data?

Don't bother trying to downgrade to 32 bits windows 7 or to 32 bits Office 2010.
I can confirm ... as can 113 participants in a thread higher up this blog, that DM6 is a totally UNWORKABLE release full of fatal bugs.
DM6 was announced as the solution for people running Office 2010 32 bits ... well it is entirely useless... so best you change phone or keep an eye on this FORUM to see when the other two streams are likely to be "closed" out with solution!
The two threads are : "Desktop Manager version 6.0 Crashing" and "Updated to DM6, cannot Synchronise".... if you have any spare time,browse through these ... makes for a good read and lots of suggestions but no solutions in sight!
And yes RIM initially announced that they would not both about office 64bit until 2011!

Try asking on the backtrack or ubuntu forum on how to edit your boot-menu

Need Help with simple array program!

Hi, I have just recently started how to use arrays[] in Java and I'm a bit confused and need help designing a program.
What this program does, it reads in a range of letters specified by the user. The user then enters the letters (a, b or c) and stores these characters into an array, which the array's length is equal to the input range the user would enter at the start of the program. The program is then meant to find how many times (a,b and c) appears in the array and the Index it first appears at, then prints these results.
Here is my Code for the program, hopefully this would make sense of what my program is suppose to do.
import B102.*;
class Letters
     static int GetSize()
          int size = 0;
          boolean err = true;
          while(err == true)
               Screen.out.println("How Many Letters would you like to read in?");
               size = Keybd.in.readInt();
               err = Keybd.in.fail();
               Keybd.in.clearError();
               if(size <= 0)
                    err = true;
                    Screen.out.println("Invalid Input");
          return(size);

}     Some errors i get with my program are:
When reading in the letters to store into the array, I get the last letter I entered placed into the entire array. Also I believe my code to find the Index is incorrect.
Example Testing: How many letters would you like to read? 3
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): b
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): c
It prints "There are no a's'" (there should be 1 a at index 0)
"There are no b's" (there should be 1 b at index 1)
and "There are 3 c's, first appearing at index 0" ( there should be 1 c at index 2)
The last thing is that my code for when the user enters "#" that the input of letters would stop and the program would then continue over to the counting and searching part for the letters, my I believe is correct but I get the same problem as stated above where the program takes the character "#" and stores it into the entire array.
Example Testing:How many letters would you like to read? 3
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): #
It prints "There are no a's'" (should have been 1 a at index 0)
"There are no b's"
and "There are no c's"
Can someone please help me??? or does anyone have a program simular to this they have done and would'nt mind showing me how it works?
Thanks
lou87.

Without thinking too much...something like this
for(int start = 0; start < size; start++) {
            System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max), enter # to stop:");
            input = Keybd.in.readChar();
            while((input != 'a') && (input != 'b') && (input != 'c') && (input != '#')) {
                Screen.out.println("Invalid Input");
                System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max, enter # to stop:");
                input = Keybd.in.readChar();
            if(input == '#') {
                    break;
            letter[start] = input;
        }you dont even need to do start = size; coz with the break you go out of the for loop.

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,
Need help in loading flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string.
I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

For windows, first step ensure the services got created.
Start/Run/services.msc and click on the Standard tab (for slightly less clutter).
There should be 4 or 5 oracle entries, only two matter. The database instance service, ...ServiceXE and the listener ...TNSListener the others are not relevant for an XE install.
If the user that ran the installer program is not in the local administrators group, as stated in the install requirements documentation, more than likely the services did not get set up and the database won't exist.
If the services are there, try connecting and check the instance status. In a command box (Start/Run/cmd):
sqlplus /nolog
connect system
Password: <the system password entered in installer dialog ... >
... Connected.
select status from v$instance;
... OPEN ...
If you get that far, might be something not quite right with the networking configuration, several things can prevent the Apex web pages (http://...:8080...) from working.
As far as your configuration files, the client (tnsnames.ora) has a different value for the host than your listener.ora. So one, or both, of those could be incorrect. Check the command box hostname output, ipconfig /all, a few things might need adjustment.
The tnsnames.ora only matters for making sqlnet connections via a tnsalias. The tnsalias could be anywhere, including on your local hostname. To use a tnsalias, add it to the a connect after the '@' symbol, i.e. connect system@xe to get a connection to your XE specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
If you want to change the listener configuration, the first thing to do is stop the listener, then make adjustments in the listener.ora, start the listener, and sqlplus ... connect system .... alter system register; to get the instance registered with the listener.

Need Help to re-download my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 to a new laptop Win-8 64-bit

When I purchased the special deal of Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12, I owned a Windows Vista (32-bit) laptop. When I downloaded my purchase, all went smoothly, no problems w/Photoshop when I used the mouse's wheel-scroll feature, it helped me zoom in to specifically pinpoint areas in pictures t/b fixed, etc.
I now have a NEW laptop ... Windows 8 (64-bit). I re-downloaded my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 onto my new one. Options to download the Premiere Elements showed I should use the "bottom" option to download for Win-8/64-bit - did that w/no problem. There were NO OPTIONS showing that the Photoshop Elements 12 had to ALSO be using a specific way to be downloaded? Consequently, I think (?), the problem that I'm having in using the mouse's wheel-scrolling feature may have been affected by using the "normal" format to download???
So here's my question: Because I bought this combined deal, should I have ALSO used the bottom option showing installation for 64-bit Premiere Elements 12??? I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE - NEED HELP ON GETTING MY PHOTOSHOP WORKING PROPERLY, NOW!
Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions that can resolve my frustrating experience on this!

Oops!!!! I accidentally found my answer within my Photoshop Elements 12 "Preferences" folder! Only one part of my question remains --- what about how to download it as a 64-bit option, or does it matter at all?
Sorry to have panicked about this, but when I started using it, the cursor movements seemed unstable so I thought it was because of downloading for a 32-bit instead of my current OS-64bit!

Need help for string tokenizer!

I need help in writing out the string tokenizer.. i've got all of the functions written except for the nexttokken function which i am stuck in. Can anyone help me out in writing the function?

An example of splitting string by comma
String str"A,B,C";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str,",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
This is just an example of usage; i would prefer to use split() function instead

Apparently, you expect the string to consist of one or two digits. If that's true, you could do this:String tmpSS = (s.length() == 1) ? ("0" + s) : s; or this: String tmpSS = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(s));
