Converting String containg \t to char

I have a string with the value "\t". The tab symbol. How can I convert this to a char?
I tried this, but it didn't work:
String tab = "\\t";
char[] chars = new char[5];
tab.getChars(0, tab.length(), chars, 0);
char tabchar = chars[0];
But tabchar is always just equal to \
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tyso

\\t - two chars (\ and t)
\t - one char (tab (9))
try this:
String tab = "\t";
char[] chars = new char[5];
tab.getChars(0, tab.length(), chars, 0);
char tabchar = chars[0];

  • Convert String from ASCII to ANSI

    Hi,
    a command line instruction via LabVIEW function "System Exec.vi" retrieves me a string in ASCII format. Is there a function to convert string from ASCII to ANSII format? I use LabVIEW 8.5 German Installation.
    Kind Regards

    Hallo Christian,
    AFAIK there is no such in function in LabView...
    But you can:
    - use "Search and replace string" to search for ASCII chars and replace them by their corresponding ANSI char, do this in a loop for all chars to be replaced (acceptable speed for small strings...)
    - convert the string to an U8 array and use a lookup table to convert all bytes from ASCII to ANSI, convert back to string (may be faster for long strings...)

  • Converting a byte[] into a char[]

    Hi All,
    what's the best way to convert a byte[] into a char[]?
    Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    you will need a encoding schema...
    byte is binary data, char is interpret from byte by the system...
    easiest way without extra coding...
    new String(byte[], encoding).toCharArray()
    if you don't specify encoding... system default is used.

  • Converting String to byte array

    Hi,
    There is a code for converting String to byte array, as follows:
         public byte[] toByteArray(String s)
              char[] c = s.toCharArray();
              int len = c.length;
              byte[] b = new byte[len * 2];
    for ( int i = 0 ; i < len ; i++ )
         b[i * 2] = (byte)(c);
         b[(i * 2) + 1] = (byte)(c[i] >> 8);
    return b;
    But this isn't doing the conversion properly. For example, for the � (euro) symbol, it converts to some other unreadable symbol. Also, same is the case for square brackets. Any idea why this' so? What's wrong with the above code?
    The encoding format is UTF-8.
    Thanks.

    > In fact, I tried with String.getBytes() too, but leads to the same problem, with those specific symbols.
    Did you try the String.getBytes(String charsetName) method?
    Both methods have been around since Java 1.1.
    It's an extremely important skill to learn to read the API and become familiar with the tools you will use to program Java. Java has an extensive set of online documentation that you can even download for your convenience. These "javadocs" are indexed and categorized so you can quickly look up any class or method. Take the time to consult this resource whenever you have a question - you'll find they typically contain very detailed descriptions and possibly some code examples.

  • JavaMapping: Convert String to OutputStream?

    Hi everybody,
    how can I convert a String to OutputStream?
    Thanks, Regards Mario

    You have to convert String to OutputStream by means of using getBytes() method..
    See the example
    public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException  {
      outputstream.write("<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'utf-8'>".getBytes());
      outputstream.write(<ns0:outputinfo ns0=\urn:xyz\File_File\>".getBytes());
      String newline=null;
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputstream));
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
      while(newline = br.readLine())!=null)
       String empno=null;
       String empname=null;
       String native=null;
       char[] chr = new char[100];
       chr = newline.toCharArray();
       String[] data = new String[10];
       int a = 0;
       int b = 2;
       for(int i=0;i<newline.length(); i++)
        if(chr<i>==',')
    data[a]=newline.substring(b,i);      
    a=a+1;      
    b=i+1;   }
        empno=data[0];
        empname=data[1];
        native=data[2];
        outputstream.write("<Data>".getBytes());
        outputstream.write("<Record>".getBytes());
        outputstream.write(("<EmpNo>"empno"</Empno>").getBytes());
        outputstream.write(("<EmpName>"empname"</Empname>").getBytes());
        outputstream.write(("<Native>"native"</Native>").getBytes());
        outputstream.write(("</Record>".getBytes());
        outputstream.write("</Data>".getBytes());
       outputstream.write("</ns0:outputinfo>".getBytes());
      br.close();
      inputstream.close();
      outputstream.close();

  • 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.
