Convert string to calendar

bail me out of this problem
i got 3 "Calendar" objects : "to" , "from" and "now"
i got another Sting Object "n"
where String n = now.toString()
I have access to "to", "from" and "n"
and I have to know whether n lies in between "to" and "from"
The following code does not give right answer
if(from.before(n) && to.after(n))
System.out.println("n lies between to and from");
help me out...

Create a suitable SimpleDateFormat object and use it to convert your string to a java.util.Date before making the test.
You probably want Date objects, not Calendar objects. Calendar objects are for doing date calculations - like adding a month to a date or whatever.

Converting a String to Calendar

I have a String which is actually a date in the format yyyyMMdd.
I need to take this String and convert it into a Calendar to do a before() check.
I want to delete dates prior to a certain date.
I am able to use this code to get a String to a Date but I need a String to a Calendar.
String sDateOfDir = null;
sDateOfDir = children;
Date dStringToDate = (Date)sdf.parse(sDateOfDir);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dStringToDate); // this is still java.util.Date
I need a String to a Calendar
or
can this line of code
cal.setTime(dStringToDate); be formatted to yyyyMMdd
any suggestions thanks in advance

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.
