Case struct v. coerce w.r.t. string input

Can anyone tell me what's going on with the case structure?  It decides "Z" is  not in the A..Z range.  Works as I expect when I pass it into a "in range and coerce" function.
Found on LV2013-32 running on Win7-64.  Confirmed same behaviour in LV2014-32 on same machine.
Solved!

This is correct behavior.  The strings are not inclusive when it comes to the upper range.  I don't remember the exact reasoning.  It was somewhere in the Idea Exchange.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • How to coerce data types to strings in a SELECT statement?

    ABAPers,
    I need to coerce column outputs to strings in a SELECT statement. Here is a pseudo example:
    select ConvertToString(count(*)) from MARA
    On help.sap.com, I could not find enough information on the functions that are supported within SELECT statement. I would appreciate it if someone can enlighten me on how to achive this.
    Note that my real problem is that I do not know the return type of the specified columns. The columns are passed as a user-specified parameter. As I do not know the column types, I am mandating that customers specify columns that return only string type data.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi Pradeep,
    Convert to string wont be possible in the SELECT statement.
    What you can do is use Field Symbols. This allows to assign data types dynamically.

  • Can formula node take string input and output string?

    I am wondering if the formula node can take string input variable and output string variable after calculation. otherwise I have to output integers and then use case structure to select different output strings, that is kind of redundant in coding.
    ping

    If you are just trying to read lines that have mixed formatting, you don't need any script nodes.
    Can you attach a tpyical flne and a description of the desired read operation so we have a better idea what you are trying to do? Do all lines have the same overall format?

  • Try It mode - string input

    In Try It mode can you have more than 1 string input? I've been playing around with it but without success. For example when the user is inputting text some users put in 1 space after a full stop, others use 2. This will be frustrating to the users. I see that you can add another input string but this only seems to work in Know It mode.
    Cheers.

    I am experiencing a silimar problem with the action area not showing the same in the See It or Try It mode as when looking at it in the developer. It gets moved up from the actual action area. Since your post was over 2 years ago and there hasn't been any other replies, I'm assuming no one knows of a fix. Please reply if you ever found a solution.

  • Use unvalidated string input fro Tyr it mode?

    I remember from the past I could set an option to "unvalidated string input"for Try it mode as well. Currently the default is set to unvalidate string input entered in Know it and pressing typing complete.
    I wonder if it still is possible to have the Typing complete option in the Try it mode as well.
    Kind regards,

    You probably want to post to one of the J2SE forums but I would expect that you would want to read a character at a time and echo it back yourself.
    You should probably check sourceforge.net and/or apache.org as I am sure there is already an implementation that you can utilize

  • Multiple strings input to single string output

    Dear all,
    this program is needed for my demo simulation purposes, I'm creating several string inputs to show into a single string output updating (input strings are shown in each line). i attached the picture below, put 2 output strings w/c both doesn't meet my desired result:
    1.) 1st string output - replace the old string w/ new string. what i need is to maintain also the previous strings. the new string will go to the next line.
    2.) 2nd string output - although i got all the strings i needed, it only appears right after the while loop terminates, so i did not see the string inputs updating.
    i'm using LV 8.5.1., any help is appreciated... posting your correct code will be more appreciated.
    thanks in advance...

  • How to change the case structure to string input?

    Hi,
    I have the inner case structure that it will decide to set "DC Voltage" or "DC Current" mode. The "Output Function" contained the selection of function "DC Voltage" or "DC Current". So far it only work with DC Voltage not DC Current. My question is how do I change the case structure to string selector? When the output function is selected to DC Voltage then the case structure is selected DC voltage case. Please help Thanks.

    test.vi ‏35 KB

    You don't really need to convert the value to a string? The problem is that the value of the individual ring items are not 0 and 1, as you assumed. The values generated by the controls are:
    DC Voltage: 1006
    DC Current: 1007.
    You can find this out by viewing the properties for the "Output Function" and going to the "Edit Items" tab.
    So, all you need to do is change the 0 to 1006 and the 1 to 1007 for your case items.
    By the way, your sequence frame serves no purpose.

  • Using Grep to change case in 2nd of a two word string

    Hello all
    I found out after completing my project that I had made a big boo boo.
    I have multiple (hundreds) 2 word botanical names of plants which are all located after a certain heading style throughout 400 pages.
    The first word in this name is capitalized already. Thats ok. But the second word needs to start with a lower case letter ( Instead of a capital letter like it has now).
    All the 2 word names are seperated by commas.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Lauren

    Hi Peter
    OK
    Example:
    Plant Species: Crambe Abyssinica
    Plant Species Synonyms: Brassica Nigra Var. Abyssinica, Crambe Hispanica, Crambe Kilimandscharica
    The headings Plant Species and Plant Species Synonyms are in a character style "Red Bold"
    These plant names are all styled with a character style called "Index"
    The first heading Plant Species usually only has one 2 part binomial name. In this case the second word 'Abyssinica' needs to start with lower case ( I forgot about these when I posted my request)
    The second heading 'Plant Species Synonyms' usually has more than two 2 word names seperated by commas
    There are of coarse some plants which have no plant species synonyms.
    I was able to create an awesome index with scripting help from this forum (Actually it was you Peter K. with some great help from Peter S. !!)
    In order to be 'correct' though these second words of the plant binomial names need to be lowercase.
    These headings and format repeat hundreds of times
    Does this help clarify things a bit?
    Thanks Peter

  • Removing non english characters from my string input source

    Guys,
    I have problem where I need to remove all non english (Latin) characters from a string, what should be the right API to do this?
    One I'm using right now is:
    s.replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]", "");//s is a string having chinese characters.
    I'm looking for a standard Solution for such problems, where we deal with multiple lingual characters.
    TIA
    Nitin

    Nitin_tiwari wrote:
    I have a string which has Chinese as well as Japanese characters, and I only want to remove only Chinese characters.
    What's the best way to go about it?Oh, I see!
    Well, the problem here is that Strings don't have any information on the language. What you can get out of a String (provided you have the necessary data from the Unicode standard) is the script that is used.
    A script can be used for multiple languages (for example English and German use mostly the same script, even if there are a few characters that are only used in German).
    A language can use multiple scripts (for example Japanese uses Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana).
    And if I remember correctly, then Japanese and Chinese texts share some characters on the Unicode plane (I might be wrong, 'though, since I speak/write neither of those languages).
    These two facts make these kinds of detections hard to do. In some cases they are easy (separating latin-script texts from anything else) in others it may be much tougher or even impossible (Chinese/Japanese).

  • Classes and subclasses given as String input - question

    Hello, I am new in Java so please don't laugh at my question!!
    I have a method as the following and I am trying to store objects of the type Turtle in a vector. However the objects can also be of Turtle subclasses: ContinuousTurtle, WrappingTurtle and ReflectingTurtle. The exact class is determined by the String cls which is input by the user.
    My question is, how can I use cls in a form that I don't have to use if-else statements for all 4 cases? (Imagine if I had 30 subclasses).
    I have tried these two and similar methods so far but they return an error and Eclipse is not of much help in this case.
    Simplified methods:
    //pre:  cls matches exactly the name of a valid Turtle class/subclass
    //post: returns vector with a new turtle of type cls added to the end
    private Vector<Turtle> newturtle(Vector<Turtle> storage, String cls){
         Turtle t = new cls(...);
         storage.add(t);
         etc.
    private Vector<Turtle> newturtle(Vector<Turtle> storage, String cls){
         Turtle t = new Turtle<cls>(...);
         storage.add(t);
         etc.
    }Thanks for your help.
    p.s.: I didn't know whether to post this question here or under Generics.

    a Factory is atually very simple (100x simpler than reflection).
    example:
    class TurtleFactory
      public Turtle makeTurtle(String typeOfTurtle)
        if (typeOfTurtle.equals("lazy") { return new LazyTurtle(); }
        else if (typeOfTurtle.equals("fast") { return new FastTurtle(); }
        <etc>
    }While at first this doesn't look any better than your original problem, what we've done is made a class that is responsible for all the types of turtles. This will also benefit in case some turtles need initialization or need something passed to their constructor. You encapsulate all that knowledge in one place so you rcode doesn't become littered with it else ladders.

  • Does "Open Vi Reference" work differently in 8.5 if a string input is wired to vi path?

    SO I was reading the upgrade notes to labview 8.5 and I noticed a change in the "Open VI Reference" function.  In 8.2 you can simply wire a string of the vi name to the vi path input of the function, and labview will open a reference to the vi already in memory.  But in 8.5 the relative paths have to be the same. 
    So say I have a vi in memory called window.vi.  Its real path is C:\test\window.vi.  And let's say its already in memory and its reentrant so I can call it by vi server.  I used to be able to just pass a sting containing "window.vi" to the vi path input of "Open VI Reference."  I like to do that because I already know the vi is in memory, and it is a big pain to get all the relative paths right between developement and deployed executable.  This way I don't have to worry about getting dozens of relative paths right for a bunch of support vi's when I build an installer.  Does this mean if I upgrade to labview 8.5 I'll have to change this every single place I did it and then rebuild every installer to include support vi's with relative paths to the exe that are the same as their relative paths to the main vi in the development environment?
    -Devin
    I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.

    Well thank god for that.  It is too bad the upgrade notes give no mention of how this impacts the executable environment, since it certainly seems like the executable the biggest and most likely part of the impact.  I bet you'll still have a ton of people with relative paths that are wrong in the installed executable but right in development environment.  Previously they would have worked even though the relative paths were wrong, but now you'll see errors.  By the way, what will happen if they have a relative path in the development environment but in the installed executable they compiled all their vi's into a single exe.  Will it error?  Do they have to rebuild with those vi's included as support files?
    tst,
    Check out the notes.  I don't know if there is enough there to understand or misunderstand, but I get nervous when they say stuff like this.
    Open VI Reference Function
    In LabVIEW 8.0.x and 8.2.x, if the name of the VI from the vi path input
    matches the name of a VI in memory on that target, LabVIEW returns a
    reference to the VI in memory and LabVIEW does not load the VI specified
    in the vi path input. In LabVIEW 8.5, if the name of the VI from the vi path
    input matches the name of a VI in memory on that target but the paths
    differ, the Open VI Reference function returns an error.

  • URGENT-CREATE A HTML FILE WITH AN STRING INPUT FROM THE RUNNING JSP

    I am designing a web page where the user enters a page after entering his/her login and password.The User should now be provided with a display page containing the servers that he has permissions for access.The servers that he has permissions are maintained in a database(a normal text file in UNIX).
    Till now the program has been complete for displaying the servers that are available to him.
    I need to create a HTML form containing these servers names in a check box so that when the user clicks thcheck box against the server name it should go to the server and get the password for the required server.
    THe intention from me is to create a HTML file that dynamically takes values from the running JSP means the server names as a string value to its input and then i can continue
    Please guide me in creating a HTML form based on the string output from the running JSP
    FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream("/root/Auth_Application/User_Access_List");

    in1.close();
    The host string here is the server name
    the ip is the ip address of the server
    Need to input these values to another HTML page that contains the check box list of the servers .
    once these are clicked i think i can pass on this to another JSP and retreive passwords

  • How to cast a String input into Date variable?

    I am using JOptionPane.showInputDialog to ask user for a date input. This will be read in as a String. I need to pass it to a variable call date. And when I print date using JOptionPane, it should be shown as whatever the user keyed in in this format: 25/2/09. How do I do it?

    By the way, that's not casting. Casting is when you have a variable whose type is at a particular level of detail, and you assign it a different level of detail -- say, casting an int to a long, or a List to an ArrayList.
    What you want to do is convert one type to a completely different one. In particular, you're going to do that by using SimpleDateFormat to parse the String -- that is, SimpleDateFormat will read the string, pick out the individual parts that express the date, and create a Date object that corresponds to it.
