Convert string- easy?

I am trying to convert a string from (example col1: S12345678)
I am inserting it into another table and convert it to col2 as: 12345678S.
Is it:
insert into temp
col2
(select
substr(col1, 2, 8)||substr(col1, -1), 'x');

try this:
SQL> select substr('S12345678',2,length('S12345678')-1)||
2                substr('S12345678',1,1) as new_str
3    from dual;
NEW_STR
12345678S
SQL> your code will look something like this:
insert into temp (col2)
select substr(col1,2,length(col1)-1)||substr(col1,1,1)
   from <your table>

Is there any native method for converting String value to Hungarian notat..

Hello. there.
This might be very simple question. but I'm just curious about this.
I am wondering if Java API offer the any native method for converting uppercased string value to lowercase which obey the Hungarian notation.
What I'm going to do is using Reflection for excuting RFC function on SAP. I was found it is very similar to JDBC Programming.
Please refer to blow codes.
//mTable
JCoTable mTable = function.getTableParameterList().getTable(rtnTblNm);
    for (int i = 0; i < mTable.getNumRows(); i++) {
     mTable.setRow(i);
     HashMap tmpData = new HashMap ();
          for (int j=0; j < mTable.getNumColumns(); j++) {
                 // I want to set key String [userNo] instead of [USER_NO] here.
          tmpData.put(mTable.getMetaData().getName(j).toLowerCase(), mTable.getString(j));
          result.add(tmpData);
} Basically, The idea was from ibatis framework [com.ibatis.common.beans.classInfo] dropcase();
Any idea would be very helpful for me. Thank you.

So your title is very confusing to the people here who know what it means, which is probably all of them, because people read threads based on their title.From now on, I will pay more attention when I post an question.
If the titile as " +Is there any native method for converting String value to camelcase?"+ would be easier to what i'm pointing at.
As I mentioned in above sorce code, converting [USER_NO] to [userNo] isn't relevant Hungarian notation. yes, it was ambiguous. Agree! :)
But some answer wasn't fit to converting case or recognizing "underscore" delimiter. I was expecting toCamelCase() such as blew. Thanks.
    public static String toCamelCase(String name) {
        String lowerName = name.toLowerCase();
        String[] pieces = lowerName.split("_");
        if (pieces.length == 1) {
            return lowerName;
        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(pieces[0]);
        for (int i = 1; i < pieces.length; i++) {
            result.append(Character.toUpperCase(pieces.charAt(0)));
result.append(pieces[i].substring(1));
return result.toString();

Converting String Array -- String

Hi All,
I am converting String array to string using the following code:
String[] a= ....;
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
if (a.length > 0) {
result.append(a[0]);
for (int i=1; i<a.length; i++) {
result.append(a);
return result.toString();
Is there is any other easy or efficient way to convert rather than the above code ?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

It could have been written:
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i<a.length; ++ i)
result.append(a);
return result.toString();
Or in 1.5 lingo
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(); //slightly less overhead
for(String s : a)
result.append(s);
return result.toString();If you aren't picky about the format of the resulting string,
you could use the java.utilArrays method )]toString(Object[]):
String[] array= {"Hello", "World", "this", "is", "a", "1.5", "method"};
String s = Arrays.toString(array); //[Hello, World, this, is, a, 1.5, method]

Not able to convert string attribute to number and date please help me out

not able to convert string attribute to number and date attribute. While using string to date conversion it shows result as failure.As I am reading from a text file. please help me out

Hi,
You need to provide an example value that's failing and the date formats in the reference data you're using. It's more than likely you don't have the correct format in your ref data.

Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

Hi,
I have a parameter used to select a month and year string that looks like:    jun-2013
I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is, when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
I populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is) I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year 2 months ahead.    So if the user selects
jun-2013   textbox A will show jun-2013
and textbox B will show aug-2013..
I have tried:
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM-YYYY" )+ 2 )   -- But this gives an error
This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM" )+ 2 )
What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format = "aug-2013" ???
Thanks in advance.

You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1254.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
In your case, the code would be something like:
var sDate = "2013-01-10";
// Convert string to date
var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
// Convert date to new string
var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
// Set a field value
getField("date2").value = sDate2;
The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.

Convert String variable value to an Object referece type

Hi all,
I want to know that if there any possible way to convert String variable value to a Object reference type in java. I'll explain by example if this is not clear.
Let's think that there is a string variable name like,
String name="HelloWorld";
and there is a class name same to the variable value.
class HelloWorld
I am passing this string variable value to a method which is going to make a object of helloworld;
new convertobj().convert("HelloWorld");
class convertobj{
public void convert(String name){
// in hert it is going to create the object of HelloWorld;
// HelloWorld hello=new HelloWorld(); just like this.
now i want to do this from the name variable value.( name na=new name()) like wise.
please let me know if there any possible way to do that.
I am just passing the name of class by string variable then i wanted to make a instance of the class which come through the variable value.
thanx.

Either cast the object to a HelloWorld or use the reflection API (Google it) - with the reflection API you can discover what methods are available.
Note: if you are planning to pass in various string arguments and instantiate a class which you expect to have a certain method... you should define an interface and have all of your classes that you will call in this way implement the interface (that way you're sure the class has a method of that name). You can then just cast the object to the interface type and call the method.

Well, for Binding you will probably need to further convert to XMLListCollection or ArrayCollection.
Not sure.
However, that is the way to convert String to XML.
