Chaîne de format

Bonjour,
Je suis en train de développer un programme de dialogue avec un instrument
mon problème se situe lors de l'interrogation idn de l'instrument, car celui ci me renvoi une chaîne du type
"Marque instrument","Modèle",numéro,"2009/07/13 10:11:40 1R55"
et j'arrive a bien séparer les informations en quatre chaîne avec la commande %[^,],%[^,],%[^,],%[^,] dans la chaîne de format du vi balayer une chaîne
mais j'aimerai supprimer les " qui se trouvent dans mes indicateurs de chaîne
Merci d'avance
Résolu !

Bonjour,
On peut faire plus "rapide" avec les expressions régulières.
Cordialement,

Hi,
format is not correct:
You should set it in this way if you want 2 decimals and thousands separator
format 999,999.99And when it is #### means that number is too large to fit in:
set lines 120 trimspool on
col event head "Waited for" format a30
col total_waits head "Total|Waits" format 999,999
col tw_ms head "Waited|for (ms)" format 999,999.99

Envoi d'une chaîne de caractère avec (visa write) caractère par caractère

Salut,
Je veux savoir comment écrire une chaine de caractère en utilisant "visa write" caractère par caractère et la lire par la suite par "visa read"
J'ai essayé d'utiliser une boucle for, un délai et avec l'objet "chaîne au format tableur en tableau" et j'ai pas réussi a le faire; je pense que j'ai pas bien spécifier ses entrées (chaîne de format et chaîne de type tableur)
Veuillez me donnez un exemple ou me clarifier comment le faire.
Merci d'avance

Ecrire des nombres binaires dans un fichier texte

Bonjour, je suis actuellement en stage, et je dois faire l'acquisition du signal d'un radar météo.
Je récupère les données mais j'ai un problèmes au niveau de l'enregistrement dans un fichier texte.
Je récupère un WordStatus (mot non signé de 16 bits) puis un tableau de 100 mots non signé 16 bits et enfin un Timetag sur 32 bits.
Mon but est d'enregistrer le premier mot, suivis d'une tabulation, ensuite les 100 mots séparés par des tabulations et enfin le dernier mot (toujours avec une tabulation)
J'arrive à écrire dans un fichier texte le tableau de 100 mots en utilisant le VI "Tableau en chaîne au format tableur" mais je n'arrive pas à convertir mes autres mot binaire en chaines pour pouvoir concaténer le tout (pour finir avec un "Ecrire dans un fichier texte".
Pouvez-vous me donner des pistes ?
je peux joindre un VI sur demande.
J'espère avoir été clair.
Merci d'avance.
P.S. : Je travaille sous Labview 11.0.1.
Résolu !

Bonjour et merci pour votre réponse.
C'est vrai que j'ai oublié de préciser que je travaille avec des VI déja programmé livrés avec la carte d'acquisition (Excalibur) ; et que l'avion étant en maintenance actuellement, je ne peux pas faire de test en condition réelle. Je pourrais Jeudi prochain me rendre chez UniAir pour faire tourner le radar en mode test. Le protocole utilisé est l'ARINC 708.
Il est vrai aussi que si je pouvais avoir accés directement à la trame originale, je pense que j'aurais moins de problème (j'y pensais hier soir ; impossible de dormir). Mais je ne pense pas avoir le niveau pour aller modifier les drivers. (cf VI : "Acquisition708-Vtest.vi")
Ensuite, j'avais déja pensé à convertir ces mots en valeurs décimales (je n'aurais qu'a préciser mes formats d'enregistrements aux scientifiques qui voudront traiter les données post-acquisition.) J'ai d'ailleur appliqué vos conseils dans le VI "Exemple-Random.vi". Je me sert de ce vi pour faire des essais à partir d'un tableau remplis de valeurs aléatoire. J'y inclus aussi le traitement des pixels pour l'affichage des données (pour les curieux...)
Lancer le programme et actionner Acquisition.
Enfin, pour optimiser la vitesse (le signal est échantilloné a 1Mb), je commence à peine à regarder de plus près le vi "Ecrire dans un fichier binaire". C'est peut-être par la que je trouverais mon bonheur.
Cordialement.

Liaison série RS232

Bonjour tout le monde,
J'ai fais un programme qui permet de lire la trame de donné envoyé par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison série, sauf que je ne sais pas si ça marche, car pour l'instant je n'ai toujours pas l'appareil qui sera connecté ... Mon programme lit la trame, puis la découpe la ou je lui ai demandé avant de transformer ces morceaux de trames en nombre qui seront ensuite affiché sur la face avant. J'ai bien peur que mon programme ai des problèmes de synchronisation avec le début de trame. Par contre, si il commence bien au début, logiquement il doit s'aretter à la fin vu que je lui ai rentré la longeur de la trame (23 octets).
Alors je voulais savoir si quelqu'un ici pouvait tester mon programme avec n'importe qu'elle appareil connecté en série pour voir si il fait bien l'acquisition des 23 premiers octets envoyés. A moins que quelqu'un ai une méthode pour "feinter" le PC et lui faire croire qu'on lui a envoyé quelquechose sur le COM1. Et d'après vous es-ce que mes craintes sur la synchronisation en début de trame vont s'avérer vraies ?
Je vous ai mis en pièces jointes mon VI en version 8.5 ainsi qu'une capture d'écran.
Je vous remercie d'avance.
Résolu !

J'ai rajouté la fonction VISA Wait On Event.
Pour le caractère de terminaison, je me suis posé la question et justement, moi mon caractère de terminaison c'est <CR><LF> (Carriage Return and Line Feed). Comment faire pour le modifier et mettre <CR><LF> dans "Car de terminaison" sur ma face avant ?
Pour la partie bleue, j'ai l'impression dans votre doc qu'il y a des virgules entre chaque donnée, il vous suffit alors d'utiliser la fonction "Spreadsheet String to array" en définissant le séparateur en virgule (au lieu de Tab par défaut), et vous aurez automatiquement un tableau vous retournant les différentes données séparées.
Merci beaucoup de l'astuce, je ne connaissais pas ! J'ai par contre un problème, je n'arrive pas à relier de tableau à la sortie de "Spreadsheet String to array". Et sinon, que dois-je relié à "Chaîne de format" ?
Merci beaucoup !

Preventing empty rows in address formats

Hallo everyone!
I'd like to know if there is a method to prevent SBO2005A from printing empty rows in the address fields when for instance there is missing county in BP addresses like this:
I have defined an address format that goes
Block
County
Street
ZipCode | Freetext(" ") | City
We use Block as "Name2" and County as "Name3" in master data just in case the customer wants to use additional names for his BPs.
If I use the "Block" - field and I leave the "County" - field blank it prints an empty row between "Block" and "Street". This is not the behaviour I would like to see. In case "county" is missing I would rather see something like this in a printout:
Block
Street
ZipCode | Freetext(" ") | City
So, is there a method to force this? or any workaround?

Hello Patryk,
PLD does not offer the functionality to control the blank lines in an address field. I would suggest you use a formatted search in your address field on the marketing document and have it formatted in the document itself before you print.
Please see sample code for your requirment for the Ship to address. If you want this to applied to the Bill to address field then you have to slight alter the query by cha
For Shipto address formatting
SELECT CASE WHEN T0.Block IS NOT NULL THEN + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + T0.Block + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN T0.County IS NOT NULL THEN + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + T0.County + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ELSE '' END +
ISNULL(T0.Street, '') + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + ISNULL(T0.ZipCode, '') + ' ' + ISNULL(T0.City, '')
FROM [dbo].[CRD1] T0 WHERE T0.AdresType = 'S' AND T0.Address = $[$40.0.0] AND T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0]
For Billto address formatting
SELECT CASE WHEN T0.Block IS NOT NULL THEN + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + T0.Block + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN T0.County IS NOT NULL THEN + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + T0.County + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ELSE '' END +

How to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

hi
how to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

Check this example of how to get this format..
TABLES: T247.
DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.
DATA: V_STRING(20).
V_DATE = SY-DATUM.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T247
WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU
AND MNR = V_DATE+4(2).
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
CONCATENATE V_DATE+6(2) '-' T247-KTX '-' V_DATE(4)
INTO V_STRING.
WRITE: / V_STRING.
ENDIF.
or
make use of this FM
CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
and see its documentation.
or
/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD-MMM-YYYY'
&DATE&
check with this.
if it is not working try to give space between DD and MMM and YYYY
all of the three work...choose whichever suits u
eg2:
Use FM:CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
Check this Program.....
DATA:DATE TYPE D VALUE '20070912'.
DATA:DATE2(12) TYPE C.
DATA:FINAL_DATE(15) TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = DATE
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = DATE2.
CONCATENATE DATE20(2) '-' DATE22(3) '-' DATE2+5(4) INTO
FINAL_DATE.
WRITE:FINAL_DATE.
Eg:3
use FM MONTH_NAMES_GET by passing month_names-spras = 'E'
it will return the Mont names in month_names-KTX ( 3 cha short name ) & month_names-LTX ( Long text ). then concatenate 'DD''-' month_names-KTX & 'YY'

Automator Workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format

Does anyone know of any automator workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format? I tried this program: Convert to PDF 1.2
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/converttopdf_mauriziominelli.htm l
But it gives an error.

Reading carefully is often useful.
The description of the tool which you tried clearly states :
*About Convert to PDF*
*_Convert all of your text files to PDF_. This action uses the underlying cups printing system ability to convert files, it’s a simple front end to the command line tool cupsfilter.*
As far as I know, but maybe you don't, *_a Numbers document isn't a text file._*
I already posted a script exporting Numbers documents as PDF.
Here is an enhanced version which apply only to Numbers '09 (or maybe higher) :
--[SCRIPT save2Numbers&PDF.app]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir save2Numbers&PDF
Le script enregistre le document au format natif de Numbers
et l'enregistre dans un fichier PDF.
S'il existe déjà un PDF homonyme, il est renommé en lui ajoutant une chaîne
construite sur sa date de modification.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script
as a Script: save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose save2Numbers&PDF
The script saves the document in the native Numbers format and saves it in a .pdf file
If such a .pdf already exists, it is renamed with a stamp matching its modification date.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox

From 10g and onwards, Oracle doesn't rely on NLS date settings to handle dates in XML.
The supported formats are those of the ISO 8601 : http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#isoformats
SQL> select e.*
2 from xmltable(

If your date string doesn't conform to the supported formats, use a VARCHAR2 datatype and an explicit TO_DATE in the SELECT :
SQL> select to_date(e.my_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as my_date
2 from xmltable(
3        '/root'
4        passing xmltype('<root><my_date>2012-04-05 14:35:20</my_date></root>')

Comment traduire un tableau de valeur en format GPIB?

Bonjour,
je suis stagiaire en laboratoire de recherche, et dans ce cadre,
je developpe actuellement un programme qui assure la recuperation des
paramètres d'erreur d'un analyseur de réseau vectoriel, qui seront par
la suite traités, puis réenvoyés à cet appareil.
Je suis confronté au soucis suivant :
la liaison GPIB n'accepte qu'un format de donnée précise, je
souhaiterai savoir si il est possible de "traduire" de facon
instantanée un tableau de valeur sous format reconnu par la liaison
GPIB (à savoir le +1.000000000E+00 au lieu de 1).
Ceci est un détail relativement simple, cependant je lutte depuis 2 jours avec sans trouver de solution ^^"
En vous remerciant
Tayuuya

Voici une manière simple pour réaliser cette transformation. Je vous invite à consulter l'aide pour la définition des codes de conversion en chaîne de caractères.
Il faudra encore faire une petite manipulation si deux chiffres sont nécessaires pour l'exposant.

Why the change to an unusable forum format?

New forum is horible. Reminds me of the forum for Mac office on the MS site.
Since when is Apple about making life dificult?

I call BS on this one. I have a mini thats still running leopard (not snow leopard) and it still runs.
Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is dumb.
Why break something that works? Just to **** people off?
(I don't but a new car every year, nor a house once the garbage can is full)
Now this WILL work well for Apple. Many people will be put off with the new useless format won't ask Q's (or they will get lost), making Apple look awesome! (Must be a shareholder issue/choice Cha Ching!)

I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.

Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
Please refer to the link below for the statement:

IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

Hello,
I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

Hello
I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
Thanks in advance

This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following. I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library. You now have a "split library" where:
E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
Album Artwork (folder)
Previous iTunes Library (folder)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
iTunes Library.itl (file)
iTunes Library.xml (file)
I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
Before you change anything else, exit iTunes. Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder. You should now have this:
or something very similar. Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key. You will see this dialog:
Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above. Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK. iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them. You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations). As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
De-authorize your iTunes account.
Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.). Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes. As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

Iomega external hard drive either 'not found' by Time Machine or is now in 'read only' format

I don't know what's going on with my iomega external hard drive. Sometimes the HD is recognised by the computer; other times it isn't; if it isn't I can restore to an earlier back up via Time Machine app; but it's like the disk isn't writable.
Ten days ago, I had trouble backing up my iMac using Time Machine. After turning it off and restarting my external hard drive, it backed up successfully.
However, today I am trying to back up my files, and TM tells me it can't find the external hard drive. Nothing has changed -- I have been out of town this past week -- but somehow my HD now seems to be in 'read only' format. It does turn on, and I could restore my computer to an earlier back up.
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Annoyingly, despite my HD not showing in Finder or on my Desktop (as it usually does), when I simply turn it off I get that warning message "The disk was not ejected properly".
Have tried verifying and repairing using Disk Utility, to no avail.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it. I'm guessing this would wipe the disk clean and I'd have to create the initial back up image all over again -- I'm reluctant to do this since this HD is my only back up and if it all goes tits up I'll be up that famous creek without a paddle.
Thoughts, suggestions, input all welcome and deeply appreciated -- thank you!

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.

That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.
