Comparing to char variables

I want to see if:
char theSquare==("g");
is this possible?
I'm getting errors so that my program won't compile.
I read in a char and store it in theSquare and I want to see what letter it is. It won't let me use .compareTo() or .equals() either for some reason. Please Help.

char c = 'g';
if (c == 'g') {
do statements
else { do statements }

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.

How to get a "char variable" with presentation variable???

I want to pass a char variable with presentation variable, I don't have problems if I pass "int".
For example in answers page I add a column that contains years of my dimension. 2000 until 2012 and prompted my presentation variable "year" (from my dashboard prompt) and when I go to dashboard if I choose in my prompt 2006 in my report appear 2006...any problem and easy. But my problem is if I would pass a char variable, in my prompt also I have months but not numbers else names: January, February, March...and a presentation variable that name is "month". If I do the same report but change column year to month (name) I don't have any results and I have an error.
How can I solucionate this???
Thank you!!

Alex,
Do you have separate columns for Year and Month Name. If Yes, Then why it is so confusing?
1. create a dashboard prompt with month name column
2. Assign it to monthname variable
3. In your report use above variable any where.., but what ever you are doing should be logical and valid to get some data.
In general above approach will work.
You said, "No! I don't want to do a filter with month! I would like to pass this variable, in this example don't make sense but I need to pass a char variable with presentation variable to do another things..."
what does that mean, what you are trying to do with the variable in your report. If you give a example that would be better.

How to convert DATE variable to CHAR variable

dear all,
How to convert DATE variable to CHAR variable
thanq

Depending on your final goal here are 2 options.
DATA: datein        TYPE d.
DATA: dateout(10)   TYPE c.
DATA: dateout2(8)   TYPE c.
datein = sy-datum.
WRITE datein TO dateout MM/DD/YYYY.
dateout2 = datein.
WRITE:/ datein, dateout, dateout2.
and the output
05022008 05/02/2008 20080502

Comparing Previous shared variable to current variable Whileprintingrecords

Hi All,
I have a report with items listed in the footer. I need to compare the shared variables of 1 record to the next but I can't use Previous(field) because I'm doing the comparisons in the footer. How can I use Shared variables to find duplicate values? In some kind of WhilePrintingRecords Array? If so, how do I limit the array to compare the present value to the previous value only?
footer row     SharedVariable
1                    887768
2                    887756
3                    887756
4                    887787
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Create a formula with a code that looks something like this and place it in the footer section(by the way, which footer are you taking about?):
WhilePrintingRecords;
numbervar array arr;
numbervar x;
shared <variable_datatype> <variable_name>;
if Not(variable_name IN arr) then
     x := x + 1;
     redim preserve arr[x];
     arr[x] = variable_name;
Create another formula to display the contents of the array and place this on a footer section below the above one:
WhilePrintingRecords;
numbervar array arr;
stringvar vals;
numbervar i;
for i := 1 to ubound(arr) do
     vals := vals + arr[i] + chr(13);
left(vals,len(vals)-1);
Right-click this formula field once it's placed > Format field > Common tab > Check the 'Can Grow' option.
Hope this helps.

Can you help me compare two chars?

I keep getting a 'cannt be dereferenced' error whenever I try compareing two chars. What exactly does this mean? Here's the code I'm useing:
import java.io.*;
public class Replace
   public static void main(String[] args)
      char let = 'h';
      char let2 = 'i';
      int temp = let.compareTo(let2);
}

Thank you slappy for trying to make me leaern. In
future, try to give a little background to wwhat your
explaining. As you can see, I was useing character
methods on a char, and your reply just plain confused
me!Sir,
I know it confused you. But I did say HINT. And I did say char and Character and I was hoping that would twig. For your future reference in Java pimitives are lower case while Class Names Begin With A Capital Letter.
Well good luck.
Sincerely,
Slappy

Compare two complex variables with BPEL ?

Hi,
I would like to compare 2 csv files with BPEL, with specific rules. For example, I would like to check that for each row : "Value of Field1 of File1" has less than a 10% difference with "Value of Field1 of File2"
I can successfully retrieve the content of the files, thanks to the following thread : Help! Three questions about FileAdapater. . Now the files are in 2 variables.
What is the right method to compare the variables, row by row with this kind of specific validation rules ? Should I handle it with a Java call ? Especially, where should be the loop on rows : in BPEL (if so : how ?) or Java ?
Regards,
Alexandre

I suggest having a look at the Array sample (orabpel\samples\tutorials\112.Arrays)
that shows how to loop through an array.
Whether to do this in BPEL of Java depends on a lot of circumstances, but I suggest giving this a try first.

Compare two dynamic variables

Hello,
I'm struggeling comparing two variables against each other as seen below. I have some AD-group names in a csv file, and I have a variable($getGroup) with results from a Get-ADGrup-query.
I'd like to filter out the groups of the csv-file from the variable, so "$getGroup" in this example should end up empty.
In the example below, the return is the two groups, so it doesn't get filtered out. How can I do that?
Contents of exclude.csv:
Name,Comment
"AD,Group1","Some comment"
"AD*Group2","Some comment"
$excluded = Import-CSV 'C:\temp\exclude.csv'
$getGroup = Get-ADGroup -Filter * | Where-Object {$_.Name -like '*,*' -or $_.Name -like '*#*' -or $_.Name -like '*+*' -or $_.Name -like '*"*' -or $_.Name -like '*\*' -or $_.Name -like '*<*' -or $_.Name -like '*>*' -or $_.Name -like '*;*'}
#At this point $getGroup returns two groups; AD,Group1 and AD*Group2
$getGroup = $getGroup | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike $excluded.Name}
$getGroup

Hi,
If you have actual group names in your input CSV, try this:
$excludedGroups = Import-Csv .\excludeGroups.csv | Select -ExpandProperty Name
Get-ADGroup -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Testing,DC=domain,DC=com' |
Where { $excludedGroups -notcontains $_.Name }

Cannot resolve symbol on char variable

my compiler stops at this line
char variablename = keyboardInputChar();
i am trying to input a character and declare a variable at the same time.
what am i doing wrong?
any help appreciated.

my compiler stops at this line
char variablename = keyboardInputChar();Well, variable 'variablename' can definitely be resolved, because your defining it there; I think your compiler can't find method 'keyboardInputChar()' anywhere. Have you defined that method in the same class?
kind regards

Compare individual char of 2 string

Hi
I need to compare the each individual char of 2 string.
String a = "Ae12";
String b = "aE12";
// I tried the followings:
// a
String c = a.substring(0,0);
String d = a.substring(1,1);
String e = a.substring(2,2);
String f = a.substring(3,3);
// b
String c1 = b.substring(0,0);
String d1 = b.substring(1,1);
String e1 = b.substring(2,2);
String f1 = b.substring(3,3);
if(c.equalsIgnoreCase(c1)&&d.equalsIgnoreCase(d1)&&e.equalsIgnoreCase(e1)&&f.equalsIgnoreCase(f1)) // Cannot be compared
// and I tried the followings:
// a
char c = a.charAt(0);
char d = a.charAt(1);
char e = a.charAt(2);
char f = a.charAt(3);
// b
char c1 = b.charAt(0);
char d1 = b.charAt(1);
char e1 = b.charAt(2);
char f1 = b.charAt(3);
if(c==c1&&d==d1&&e==e1&&f==f1) // cannot be compared.
Both cases cannot be compared. How can I fix it?
Because I want to compare those 2 strings without case sensitive and numbers.
Thanks

techissue2008 wrote:
String a = "Ae12";
String b = "aE12";
Then, are "Ae12" and "aE12" the same when ignore case?
If so, the Strings are actually the same.No, the Strings are not the same, if by same, you mean the "same" Object, or the "same" value when case is not ignored, but they are the "same" value when case is ignored.
This prints true (try it yourself), as it should
public class Test {
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println("aE12".equalsIgnoreCase("Ae12"));
}They are still two distinct instances with two distinct values however, so where, exactly, is your problem?

Problem in comparing a character variable to date value.

Hi All,
             I have a scenario where I am comparing a variable of type c with a database field which is a date.Now the comparison is failing though it should not.I can't change the variable because I am capturing that from Line selection ie through get cursor.
So is there any FM or any other way through which i can change this value to database field value type.
Also variable has date in format 17.12.207 where as in table it is stored as 20071217 i.e YYYYMMDD.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

Hi saket,
Use as the code below;
data : chr_date(10) type c value '12.12.2007'.
data : lf_date type d.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
EXPORTING
    date_external                  = chr_date
IMPORTING
   DATE_INTERNAL                  = lf_date.
Now you can compare lf_date with database date field.
Revert back if u have any doubts.

thank you.

javascript and java do not mix.
Java code runs, and produces HTML/javascript.
Java code stops running.
The page loads in the browser, and it starts up javascript.
Javascript cannot talk to java and vice versa.
Your JSP can generate javascript code onto the page to be executed on the client, but they never directly communicate.

Increment a Char Variable

How do you increment a character variable?
Eg.
DATA: L_VAR1(3) TYPE C,
L_INC(3) TYPE C.
L_VAR1 = '080'
L_INC = '001'.
Then I need in a particular Loop run, L_VAR1 to vary from 080, 081, 082...120.
If I increment it with L_VAR1 = L_VAR1 + L_INC.
The next value stored is 81 and not 081.
Please provide Inputs in2 this.
Thanks

Hi..
Since u need a numeric value. Declare with Type N.
Eg:
DATA: L_VAR1(3) TYPE N,
L_INC(3) TYPE N.
L_VAR1 = '080'
L_INC = '001'.
Then:
L_VAR1 = L_VAR1 + L_INC. "This will work.
