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.

Converting strings to the floating number and plotting

Hello,
I have a question regardting converting string of numbers to the floating bumbers and plot for voltage vs. weight.
The load cell for the ADC resolution is 16 bits, and the voltage will be in between +-5 volts.
The problem, I have the most is converting the string of numbers to the floating numbers, in my case is the weight.

When you say "string of numbers" do you mean an array? What is the specific issue you are having? You seem to have orange wires running all over the place. Give a small example demonstrating the problem.

How can I convert string to the record store with multiple records in it?

Hi Everyone,
How can I convert the string to the record store, with multiple records? I mean I have a string like as below:
"SecA: [Y,Y,Y,N][good,good,bad,bad] SecB: [Y,Y,N][good,good,cant say] SecC: [Y,N][true,false]"
now I want to create a record store with three records in it for each i.e. SecA, SecB, SecC. So that I can retrieve them easily using enumerateRecord.
Please guide me and give me some links or suggestions to achieve the above thing.
Best Regards

Hi,
I'd not use multiple records for this case. Managing more records needs more and redundant effort.
Just use single record. Create ByteArrayOutputStream->DataOutputStream and put multiple strings via writeUTF() (plus any other data like number of records at the beginning...), then save the byte array to the record...
It's easier, it's faster (runtime), it's better manageable...

Converting string to float number

Here's what I'm trying to do. The user types a number, such as 12.011, in an input box. I want to check to see if the number they typed is between two numbers, such as 12 and 12.1. Therefore, I want to convert the string in the input box to a float number, not an integer, so I can check to see if it's in the correct range. How do I convert a string into a float number?
thanks
Mark

Did you try:
Number(textinput1.text);
if(Number(textinput1.text)>12 && Number(textinput1.text)<12.1)

UCCX: unable to convert string into a number

Hi all,
I used the Get Digit String to pull a 4 digital numbers (stored as variable sYear) from a caller, this number is obviously stored as a string. Then i used 'set iYear=sYear' to conver this string to an integer.
I debuged the script, when I entered number of year without following #, it worked fine. If I entered number of year and followed by #, i got the message 'unable to conver string into a number'. Can someone help me with that?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Reena,
The UCCX version is 10.5.1.
I found the problem. It works after i changed input length to 5. 'The terminating key overrides the Maximum Input Length to terminate input'.
Thanks.

How to set the number of rows displayed in a classical report at runtime?

Hi,
Our customer has several standard client hardware configuration and would like to enable end users to choose their 'display profile' at login time. This 'display profile' would contain predefined values for these hardware configurations and supposed to set various paramters that should define the number of rows displayed in a classical report region.
I tried to provide parameters on the report region but it refused to accept anything but numerical values. Is it possible to do this?
Regards, Tamas

The link is to the closest linkable point in the documentation to the description of the Number of Rows (Item) attribute.
It sounds like you have been trying to enter—unsuccessfully—an item name or substitution string into the Number of Rows attribute. The Number of Rows (Item) attribute is the one that actually allows you to do this. Click on the flashlight icon beside it to get a list of items from the application.

How to define the number of tab displayed in Tab page group

How to find out the number of fields in generated proxy structure?

Hi All,
Can anybody help me to find out the number of fields in generated proxy structure in back end system along with controller fields.
i know how to get number of fields in XI system but i want the number of fields in back end system when we generate proxy including automatically generated controller fields.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ujwalkumar

U mean u want to know at runtime?
Get the output from ur proxy as a string, count the number of "<" characters and divide it by 2. :-P
Of course, you'll have to treat the header fields separately.

Expression Builder: convert string to number

Hi all,
I'm having trouble building a field validation rule for bank account numbers.
The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use a string or text number.
The validation rule to be implemented is that the last two digits are calculated based on the first 10 (modulo 97).
However, when I use the Mid function to pick the first characters, I am unable to do any calculations on it. Apparently, the string to number conversion doesn't work (it should work when I read the manual, as it says that when using an operator between two data types, the second type is converted to the first (cf. example of 1234+abcd (should result in 1234 as to the manual))). So I tried '1*Mid(...)' or '0+Mid(...)'. Syntactically the expression builder accepts it and I can save it. BUT when I change the particular value on the screen, it gives me an SSO error (not the Field Validation error message I entered).
Why isn't there simply a function ToNumber (like ToChar)????? How could I workaround this?
Any input very welcome!
Frederik

Apparently, I was a bit confused when typing the first sentence, it should be:
The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use an integer or number data type, but have to use String.

Function to convert string to number

Hi there,
I wrote a function which converted a hor minute component of a date to a number. Now I need to do the same with a string (because the hours could be more then 23:95). Anyway here is my function. How can I rewrite it so it will accept a string as in parameter. Somwhow I can not work it out. Thanks a lot.
Chris
function calculate_hours_project(in_hours in DATE)
RETURN number
AS
hrs CHAR(2);
mins CHAR(2);
     BEGIN
          hrs := to_char(in_day, 'HH24');
          mins := to_char(in_day, 'MI');
          if hrs is not null and mins is not null then
          RETURN to_number(hrs + (mins/60));
          else
          RETURN 0;
          end if;
END calculate_hours_project;

Wouldn't it just be something like this?
sql>create or replace function calculate_hours_project(in_hours in varchar2)
2 return number
3 is
4 begin
5    return to_number(substr(in_hours, 1, instr(in_hours, ':') - 1)) +
6           to_number(substr(in_hours, instr(in_hours, ':') + 1) / 60);
7 end calculate_hours_project;
8 /
Function created.

How to convert tabs between the words in a String to a single space in java

I have a string with more number of tabs in between them, the thing I need to do is that I need to convert all those tabs into a single space.
I used replaceAll(“/t”,” “); but the problem is that it was converting the tabs into spaces but if we have a 3 tabs in between 2 words then this 3 tabs are converting into 3 spaces but I need to have only one space.

user548049,
How is your question related to the topic of this forum: Oracle Database-embedded JVM?
Anyway, you need to use the greedy qualifier: +, like so:
replaceAll("\\t+"," ")Good Luck,

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.

Converting a binary string to a number...

Hi guys,
I'm trying to convert a binary string into a decimal integer. I'm not sure if LabVIEW has a VI that does that. I haven't found one yet. Basically, say I have the string '0101'. I want to convert that to the value '5'. Or say I'm using hex, I want '10101111' to be converted to 'AF'. So that's my dilemma. I'm hoping I'm not going to have to make my own VI. Thanks a lot!
-Mike

LabVIEW has exactly what you want even if it can be hard to find it.
To convert a binary text string like "0101" to a decimal value can easily be done using the Scan Value function found under the String/Number conversion section. If you provide the format %b to it (not mentioned in the manual) you will get the decimal value of your binary string.
Also, on your front panel you can change the format of your numerical indicators by right clicking on it and selecting Format & Precision. If you have a numerical indicator you can set it do display the numbers in e.g. hexadecimal form.
However, if you want to convert a number to a hexadecimal text string you can use the Number to Hexadecimal String function also found under the String/Number conversion section.

attached a simple example, Conversions.vi, that shows how it works. I hope this helps. /Mikael

Essbase 9.3 Calc scripts. Pb with dates. How to convert (string = number) ?

Hello,
I've a problem with Essbase(Planning?) Scripts on version 9.3. It looks simple but I do not find any (clean) solution :
On my Essbase database, I have a member called "Reference_Date" on my axis Indicators. It is a date data type, that is to say, it displays a number corresponding to a YYYYMMDD format. For example : 20091029 for October 29th 2009.
In calc scripts I often need to compare the month included in that "Reference_Date" with the current Member of my Time Axis (I have 12 Months members based on the format M02 for February for example). The final aim is to calculate a number of complete years since that "Reference_Date".
But theses two elements are not of the same "type" (one is a number value and the other is a "member" in Time Axis). So I'm forced to convert one of this two elements in order to compare it.
For example I can extract the month value of the "Reference_Date"' and put an "M" before it to have a Time member equivalent or I can convert the member Name M10 to a number (10))
in both cases I have the same type problem : I don't know how to convert a string into a number nor how to convert a number into a string.
(For example @CONCATENATE doesn't work with numbers). and that my only remaining problem.
I didn't find any Essbase Function which do this (conversion number <=>string).
Is anyone have an Idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

I don't know any way for you to compare your data against your metadata. Not directly. To me it makes little enough sense to try that I'm not surprised the developers didn't provide for it.
I've converted member names to strings, manipulated the strings (calc script functions are not good at this), and turned them back into member names, but that's really the only use I've had for string manipulation. I don't think an equivalency operator even exists for string data. And I see no way to begin thinking of a member name, once converted to a string, as a number.
It makes even less sense to me to try thinking of a data value as a string. Even text values in Sys 11 are stored as numbers. Not encoded characters, but just a number to look up somewhere.
I think you can do what you want though, with something like this...
IF (@ISMBR("FY08"))
vYr = 2008;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("FY09"))
vYr = 2009;
ENDIF;
IF (@ISMBR("M01"))
vMth = 1;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("M02"))
vMth = = 2;
ENDIF;
"Years_Since_Reference" = ((vYr * 100) + Mth) - ("Reference_Date" / 12);
Obviously, the math will need some work, coz that doesn't actually work, but the logic above essentially turns your metadata into numbers, which is what you are after.
Good luck,
-- Joe
