Compare two strings and verify they have same alphabets

If i have two strings....s and t. I want to return
whether s contains every letter in t. For example,
"abcd" contains all the letters in "bbdc", since every
letter in the second string appears in teh first.This will do the job in s.length()*t.length() steps.
// Indicates whether s contains every letter in t.
boolean allCharsContainedIn(String s, String t) {
    int len = t.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        if (s.indexOf(t.charAt(i) == -1)
            return false;
    return true;

Compare two strings and the save the greater

To devolop a vi,it can compare two strings.A string is gived,the other is saved previously.If greater,then save,or do nothing.

Hi,
I am assuming by "greater" you mean the string length.
Use the string length function from the strings palette, with shift-registers on a while loop. Write to the shift-register the "greater" string.
I am attaching a diagram screenshot for this. NOTE: depending on how you want this VI to run, you can move the input and output string control and indicator inside our outside the while loop.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (example: & vs & and many others)?

I attempted to compare two strings whether they are equal or not. They should return true if both are equal.
One string is based on Taxonomy's Term (i.e. Term.Name) whereas other string is based on String object.
The problem is that both strings which seem equal return false instead of true. Both string values have different special characters though their special characters are ＆ and &
Snapshot of different design & same symbols:
Is it due to different culture or language?
How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (＆ vs &)?

Hi Jerioon,
If you have a list of possible ambiguous characters the job is going to be easy and if (＆ vs &) are the only charracters in concern awesome.
You can use the below solution.
Before comparing pass the variables through a replace function to standarize the char set.
$Var = Replace($Var,"＆","&")
This is going to make sure you don't end up with ambiguous characters failing the comparison and all the char are "&" in this case.
Similar technique is used to ignore Character Cases 'a' vs. 'A'

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

Compare two strings in a formula

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to compare two strings in a formula ?
I have this consition:
IF(@SUBSTRING(@NAME(@CURRMBR(TIME_FROM)),5)==@NAME(@CURRMBR(TIME)))
But the == operator can only compare two data.
Thanks,
Cyril

Hi,
thank you both for your answers.
When I figured that the == operator was for data only, I didn't even try to compare member names.
I finally used the solution that Cameron suggested in another conversation. I created a date measure, and loaded some data since the beginning of my time to the end.
It starts in 1974 (annually), then becomes monthly data, and then daily data from 2009, so it's not so many blocks to br created. In the end I have the same value for "from 2008"/"from Apr 30", and I can easily compare my dates.
Note that I could have also used the @TODATE function, which turns a date into a number, but the format of date is limited and doesn't fit the format of my member names, so I got lasy... and I'm not sure my users would have apreciated that ;)
Thanks, this post is solved.

Cannot refresh table - test connection works fine but refresh gives "We couldn't refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server." error.

I'm having some difficulty updating a table in my powerpivot data model. The data for the table is stored in a local excel file; if I go to
Existing Connections select the connection and do a test then everything is successful. When however I try to refresh that particular table I get the following error:
"We couldn’t refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server."
In the past I had this and it was an authentication issue, the files are stored on SharePoint and I wasn't logged in to Sharepoint - I have however checked this and it can't be the issue because I have other tables linked to other excel files in the same
location that are refreshing without issue. Can anyone think of what may be causing it?
I have even tried creating a new local excel with the same data, added it to the data model and then tried a refresh and I I get exactly the same issue.
Are there any known issues with refreshing data from an Excel file if, after the initial import, you add columns to the table in the excel file I was wondering if this might contribute?
Thanks

Hi Maracles,
Thanks for your post.
From your description, I tried to reproduce this issue on my test environment. However, everything is fine for me. Could you please post the specific version of SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel?
You can try to use a trace file to troubleshoot errors in PowerPivot. If this issue still persists, please try to reinstall SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel to see if this helps.

Compare two strings for partial or full match

I have been trying to figure out away of comparing two strings.
I can get the full string matching to successfully work but am struggling on how to get partial eg wildcard search working.
say I had names like paul Duncan, George Morrison.
I have split them up so its now paul , duncan i then use the users entered string to compare it against the name name to see if it matches anything in the first name or the last name if it does i added it to an arraylist.
however i have tried t use a indexof as i believe this looks for similarity (Substring matches?) but it always returns -1.
Could anyone possibly direct me to a method that will allow me to use partial text string to match it against stored user names.
eg user enters pa
I would return anything that would contain pa
thanks for any help

thank you for the reply
Sorry I forgot to put in the code.
This is a reduced down version including the read in from a text file as well as the index of if statement and the adding of it to an array list.
public class FindContact {
String res;
/** Creates a new instance of FindContact */
public FindContact() {
public Object[] FindAUser(String passSearch) {
System.out.println("getting here");
ArrayList found = new ArrayList();
String patternStr = ",";
int j, i = 0;
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("H:\\out.txt"));
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
String[] fields = str.split(patternStr);
//for(j=0;j < fields.length;j++) {
if (fields.length != 0) {
if (passSearch.indexOf(fields[0])!=-1 || passSearch.indexOf(fields[1])!=-1) {
found.add(str);
System.out.println("ENDDDDDDDD value ");
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
Object[] foundResult = new Object[found.size()];
foundResult = found.toArray();
if (foundResult.length >= 0) {
System.out.println(foundResult.length);
return foundResult;
Hope that helps as it has confused me and am not sure why it is not returning a value.
Should I maybe use the contain method instead to search for the user inputted string?

Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

Compare two tables and log the difference

Hi,
I want to compare two tables and log the difference in new table with the fields as (old value,new value, column name). The column name should be the changes value column

Can you show an example?
SELECT Foo.*, Bar.*
FROM Foo
FULL OUTER JOIN
Bar
ON Foo.c1 = Bar.c1
AND Foo.c2 = Bar.c2
AND Foo.cn = Bar.cn
WHERE Foo.key IS NULL
OR Bar.key IS NULL;
