Converting the String

HI all,
I have one problem..
that is ..
String str = ",check,the,values"; ( String length may
change)
String may be like this also
str = "check,the,values";
str = "check,the,values,";
I want the string like: ".check.the.values"
means just replacing the , to .
I tryed with stringTokenizer but I get the result
like
"check.the.values" (missing first '.')
so if anyone knows please send the solution You need to have some code that adds the period (".") at the beginning of your new string. Merely replacing existing characters will not work for this. If you let us see what you have done so far then perhaps we can help more.

Problem in converting the String to Date with time zone GMT

Hi,
When I tried to convert the string 12/05/2009 to Date, the time zone is set to BST.On the other hand, for the date 12/12/2009, the time zone is set to GMT. What should I do to get the time zone as GMT all the time.?
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String dateString = "12/05/2009";
System.out.println(myDate.toString());

I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.

How to convert the String "1+1==2" into the boolean true?

Hi folks!
I need your help...
In a Java program, I have a String such as
String str="1+1==2";
and I want to know if the content of this String is true or not.
How to get the answer in a boolean b?
I already know that
boolean b=Boolean.valueOf(str).booleanValue();
doesn't work (b contains false);
whereas when I try
boolean b=Boolean.valueOf("true").booleanValue();
it perfectly works (b is true).
Would you be so kind as to solve my problem?
Thanks ;)

Hi folks!

In a Java program, I have a String such as

How to get the answer in a boolean b?How can the content of a String ever be a boolean ? and we all know that one...
If he were to revise his orginal requirement things would not be so
difficult for him.
"1+1==2" and "2*12-2*10==2" have one thing in common. They both check if the
RHS is equal to 2 or not...and THAT is a boolean.
And if that is a String it takes no genius to figure out how to
get a number out of them.
What's the problem with getting his boolean result.

How Do I Convert a String that Names an Object to a Reference to the Object

You get many program-specific object names in the XML that is returned by describeType. Suppose I find an object that interests me. What is the best way to convert the String that names the object (e.g. the id of the object) to a reference variable that points to the object?

Sure. I am working on a complex application that involves several ViewStacks, several Accordions, some checkboxes, some radio buttons, some text boxes. These components are scattered about, but all are children of a base class that is successfully enumerated by
var classInfo:XML = describeType(vwstk);
Suppose I write a loop as follows:
for each (var a:XML in classInfo..accessor){
Inside that loop I have a series of tests like
if (a.@type == "mx.controls::CheckBox"{
Then, I iterate thru all of the children of the base class as in:
for
(var u:Object in vwstk)
{ if
Inside the if I persist the checked/not checked status of the checkbox.
The tricky part is going from the string a.@name to the Object reference u. I doubt my proposed method will work. Do you have a better idea?

Convert a String to Decimal Format in European format

Hi Experts,
I am having a string as a context type for a input field, where the user can enter the Price, I need to convert the same into European format "###.###,00", I am using this below code to convert the string to decimal format
User will enter the input as 10 as it needs to be converted into 10,00. Also, 1000 which has to be converted as 1.000,00
String Str1 = wdContext.currentvn_temptable.getVa_TempUnitPrice();
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern="###.###,00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(Str1);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Unit Price" + " " + pattern + " " + output);
When I execute the above code, i am getting an error called "Malformed Pattern ###.###,00"
Please let me know, how to convert a String to Quantity in European format
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Hello!
Try to change your pattern to this one
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern = "#,#00.00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(1111111.222);
Pattern has an influence on number of digits between separators, but you have to use ',' for grouping and '.' for decimal. Character values for separators correspond to your Locale object.
Thanks, Mikhail

Converting XML String to MessageElement array

Hi,
I am trying to call a .NET web service from my Java client. I used WSDL2Java to generate the java classes for calling the .NET web service. The generated classes to call the service expects an array of org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement objects. I have a string representing an XML document which looks like this:
String xmlString = "<Results><Adjustments><Adjustment><RebuildAdjustmentID>16</RebuildAdjustmentID><IsBasicAdjustment>true</IsBasicAdjustment><AdjustmentType>stone/AdjustmentType><Title>External walls</Title></Adjustment></Adjustments></Results>"
I have tried converting the string into an array of MessageElement objects by the following way:
MessageElement[] m = new MessageElement[1];
Document XMLDoc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(result2.toString())));
m[0] = XMLDoc.getDocumentElement();
However I keep getting the following message returned from the service:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
I have tried a handful of ways but keep getting this same error. I have searched the web for hours looking for a solution to this problem without success so any help/ideas much appreciated,
Thanks.

How to convert a String to an Icon

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to convert a String (specifically one letter) to an Icon for a JTree. The program I am working on uses .png files for the icons at the moment, with each .png being a single uppercase letter. However, recent discussion has us wanting to change to something more dynamic, since we anticipate needing new letters in the near future.
My task is to modify the current codebase so that the Icons used to identify nodes in the tree are created from a Font within code, rather than reading in .png files. I have done some experimenting with creating a Label with just that String, setting the font and trying to extract the image using calls like createImage(int width, int height) and so on, but so far to no avail.
If I could figure out how to at least convert the String to an image, I could probably make it work (since I can play around with creating an ImageIcon with that image). Thanks in advance for any help.
Allan

Here is some quick and dirty code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BasicIcon implements Icon {
    private String text;
    public BasicIcon(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    public int getIconWidth() {
        return 16;
    public int getIconHeight() {
        return 16;
    public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
        Color old = g.getColor();
        g.setColor(c.getForeground());
        g.drawString(text, x, y+13);
        g.setColor(old);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JPanel cp = new JPanel();
        for (char ch = 'A'; ch < 'F'; ++ch) {
            cp.add(new JButton("letter " + ch, new BasicIcon(String.valueOf(ch))));
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BasicIcon");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(cp);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
}One thing that could be improved is the vertical positioning of the letter in the Icon.
The x,y values passed into paintIcon are the upper-left hand corner of the icon,
but the y value needed by drawString is the position of the String's baseline.
To do it right, use one of Font's getLineMetrics methods and play around with ascent.

How do I convert a string, and use a string as a property?

I have an array in the following format:
{ownsCar: 'true', ownsBike: 'true', ownsHouse: 'true'}
{ownsCar: 'false', ownsBike: 'true', ownsHouse: 'true'}
{ownsCar: 'true', ownsBike: 'false', ownsHouse: 'true'}
etc ............
And I need to test against each item e.g.
if...
myDataGrid[myItem].ownsCar == Object(myCheckbox).label
... then
if...
myDataGrid[myItem].ownsBike == Object(myCheckbox).label
... then
if...
myDataGrid[myItem].ownsHouse == Object(myCheckbox).label
... then
But I need to build my application where the property (e.g. "ownsCar", "ownsBike", "ownsHouse") is a variable such as:
if...
myDataGrid[myItem].myProperty == Object(myCheckbox).label
... then
I would like to loop through my Array, counting the number of items, and then use each item as a property.
How would I convert the string (e.g. "ownsCar") into a property "myProperty" ???
Many thanks in advance
Chris

Thanks, but my problem is that I won't know what my property will be.
E.g. they could be...
{svnsdkvnsdklvnsdklv: 'true', seuAfnwfnw: 'true', asfwseionf: 'true', etc.................}
and there could be lots of them.
I need to have myObject[N], where N is a variable property for each of the items taken from a variable length array
so...
ownsCar is represented by myObject.[N]
ownsHouse is represented by myObject.[N+1]
ownsBike is represented by myObject.[N+2]
etc
(sorry, this is so difficult to explain when I dont know what the answer is)

Convert from String to Int

Hi,
I have a question.
How do I convert from String to Integer?
Here is my code:
try{
String s="000111010101001101101010";
int q=Integer.parseInt(s);
answerStr = String.valueOf(q);
catch (NumberFormatException e)
answerStr="Error";
but, everytime when i run the code, i always get the ERROR.
is the value that i got, cannot be converted to int?
i've done the same thing in c, and its working fine.
thanks..

actually it convert the string value into decimal value.In fact what it does is convert the (binary) string into an integer value. It's the String representation of integer quantities that have a base (two, ten, hex etc): the quantities themselves don't have a base.
To take an integer quantity (in the form of an int) and convert it to a binary String, use the handy toString() method in the Integer class - like your other conversion, use the one that takes a radix argument.

How to convert a string

I have a string "March 2006", that I would like to convert into two dates, one is first date of the month and second is the last date of the month.
For example:
String strDate="March 2006"
Now I want to convert it into two dates:
03/01/2006 and 03/31/2006 and assign those two dates to two variables.
I have been trying something like this just to convert string to date but no luck:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
     java.util.Date mydate = new java.util.Date();
     try{
     mydate = sdf.parse("March 2006");
     }catch(ParseException e){}
     System.out.println("Java data object is"+mydate);
I get following output : Tue Jun 20 10:34:30 CDT 2006

Thanks for your patience guys. First I am not a java
expert and just a new bee to Java, and second I guess
we are going into a different direction here. My
basic problem is that is there a way to convert
"March 2006" string to 03/2006? Then once we get
03/2006, can we find what is the first date ,
offcourse 01, and what is the last date, which in
this case is 31?Convert the String to a Date, as you've already been shown how to do
Use the java.util.Calendar methods to get your last day of the month value (check the javadoc, especially the get method and look at the fields) Post back with any specific questions.
Good Luck
Lee

For example:

How to convert a string into an objects name?

Hi
I have the following problem;
I have a string
String a = "e1"
and a method
call(Event e1) that calls the "Event" class with object the name of the string a.
How can I convert the strings name into an object so as to use it in the "call" method?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this helps you, but you can do things like this.
String a = "com.example.SomeEvent";
//Instantiate com.example.SomeEvent
Object o = Class.forName(a).newInstance();SomeEvent must have a non-argument constructor for this to work.
Class that will be instantiated depens on runtime value of String a, and can be different across different executions of the program.
