FindAndReplace What is the returned value

I have found a function used in some NI sample code FindAndReplace() and it doesnt show as a teststand function. Anybody used it or know what the return values are and any optional parameters ?

Rupert -
In the TestStand expression language there is a SearchAndReplace function which returns the modified string. What is the code snippet, is it C, C++, expression?
Scott Richardson (NI)
SearchAndReplace(string, searchString, replacementString, , , , , )
This function searches for and replaces one or more substrings with the replacementString.
Parameter 1: A string in which to perform substring replacements.
Parameter 2: The substring to find and then replace with the replacement string.
Parameter 3: The replacement string.
Parameter 4: An optional number that specifies the zero-based character index at which to begin searching. The default is 0.
Parameter 5: An op
tional Boolean that specifies whether to ignore character case when searching. The default is False.
Parameter 6: An optional number that specifies the maximum number of occurrences of substring to replace. A value of -1 signals the function to replace all occurrences of the substring. The default is -1.
Parameter 7: An optional Boolean that specifies whether to search the string in reverse. The default is False. If you pass True, the start index passed to parameter 3 specifies the zero-based index from the end of the string of the character at which to begin searching in reverse.
Parameter 8: An optional number in which the function stores the number of substrings that it replaced.
Returns: The modified string.

  • What are the return values in component interface

    Hi,
    i need to know what are the different return values while testing(saving the component interface in create or get key) the component interface.

    Return value for create is a Boolean value: True if component was successfully created, False otherwise. The return value for get is a boolean value: True if component was successfully retrieved, False otherwise.

  • How to catch the return value of ldap- bind?

    For net::ldap,
    my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( .. );
    $ldap->bind($DN,$password);
    if the bind failed, what's the returned value for this?
    Many examples I read suggested "undef" is returned, but looks like it's not the case on Sun Solaris.
    Marg8

    somehow "undef" is not returned.
    for ldap->bind($DN,$password) or die "can't bind";
    it always continue no matter what DN or password you put in.
    So looks to me it returned something else.

    Hi,
    What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

  • Remote Object - not able to get the returned value from java method

         Hi ,
    I am developing one sample flex aplication that connects to the java code and displays the returned value from the

    Please help me .

    You are not able to get the returned value because if you see the Remote object help you will realise you have to use result="resultfn()" and fault = "faultfn()"
    In this you define what you wish to do.
    More importantly in the remote object you need to define which method you wish to call using the method class like this
    <mx:RemoteObject id="remoteObj" destination="sro" result="r1" fault="f1"  >
         <Method name="javaMethodName" result="r2" fault="f2"/>
    <mx:RemoteObject>
    r2 is the function where you get the result back from java and can use it to send the alert.

  • Getter/setter methods -- how do I use the return values

    I'm just learning Java, and I haven't been to this site since the end of July, I think. I have a question regarding getter and setter methods. I switched to the book Head First Java after a poster here recommended it. I'm only about a hundred pages into the book, so the code I'm submitting here reflects that. It's the beginnings of a program I'd eventually like to complete that will take the entered information of my CD's and alphabetize them according to whatever criteria I (or any user for that matter) choose. I realize that this is just the very beginning, and I don't expect to have the complete program completed any time soon -- it's my long term goal, but I thought I could take what I'm learning in the book and put it to practical use as I go along (or at lest try to).
    Yes I could have this already done it Excel, but where's the fun and challenge in that? :) Here's the code:
    // This program allows the user to enter CD information - Artist name, album title, and year of release -- and then organizes it according the the user's choice according to the user's criteria -- either by artist name, then title, then year of release, or by any other order according to the user's choice.
    //First, the class CDList is created, along with the necessary variables.
    class CDList{
         private String artistName;//only one string for the artist name -- including spaces.
         private String albumTitle;//only one string the title name -- including spaces.
         private int yearOfRelease;
         private String recordLabel;
         public void setArtistName(String artist){
         artistName = artist;

But this is something every new programmer goes through, and I will not spoil the fun. You see, in 3 to 6 months when you have learned much more Java, assuming you stick with it, you will look back at this and be like "what the hell was I thinking" and then realize just haw far you have come. So enjoy that moment and don't spoil it now by asking for what could have been better/ more efficient. If it works it works, just be happy it works.

So please keep that in mind as well.First, if you posted this somewhere else you should link to that post, it is good you at least said you did, but doubleposting is considered very rude because what inevitably happens in many cases is the responses are weighed against each other. So you are basically setting anyone up who responds to the post for a trap that could make them look bad when you double post.
    You are setting you getters and setters up right as far as I can tell. Which tells me that I think you grasp that a getter lets another class get the variables data, and a setter lets another class set the data. One thing, be sure to use the full variable name so you should have setRecordLabel() and getRecodLabel() as opposed to setLabel() and getLabel(). Think about what happens if you go back and add a label field to the CDList class, bad things the way you have it currently. Sometimes shortcuts are not your friend.
    And yes, you are using the getters all wrong since you are not saving off what they return, frankly I am suprised it compiles. It works because you don't really need to use the getters where you have them since the CDList Record (should be lowercase R by the way) object already knows the data and uses it in the printout() method. Basically what you are doing in lines like:
    Record[x].getArtistName();is asking for the ArtistName in Record[x] and then getting the name and just dropping it on the floor. You need to store it in something if you want to keep it, like:
    String artistName = Record[x].getArtistName();See how that works?
    Hope this helped, keep up the good learning and good luck.

  • How to set the returned value of CFL in a matrix

    dear all,
    I got a matrix binded to a DataSource and two CFLs are in this matrix. The codes for handling AfterChooseFromList is as following.  It works almost fine. But when a docoment containing more than two
    rows in the matrix and I reselect the CFL cell values more than two times, an error occured sometimes, not everytime. The error message is "This entry already exists in the following tables @CYW_PRROW [Message 131-183]"
    I have tried to find out what kind of situation to cause this error, but still in the mud.
    Can anybody give me some suggestion? Thanks.
    Public Sub OnAfterChooseFromList_Matrix(ByVal pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent)
            Dim ActionSuccess As Boolean = pVal.ActionSuccess
            Dim oform As SAPbouiCOM.Form = SBO_Application.Forms.Item(pVal.FormUID)

    Another quesion, can I assign the returned value of CLF directly to the cell?

    Hello  Chao-Yi Wu,
    I don't have a real solution for you - just a few comments:
    1. At
            Try
                val = oDataTable.GetValue(0, 0)
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
    I would add
            Try
                if oDataTable Is Nothing Then Exit Sub ' If the User cancels the CFL
                val = oDataTable.GetValue(0, 0)
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
    2. At
       If pVal.ColUID = "col_0" Then
    I would make the branch by the pVal.ChooseFromListUID instead of the ColUID
    and the 2nd not with "Else" but with "Else If ....."
    3. It may work with EditText.String/Value of a cell but I never do that because of performance-reasons.
    I always do it the same way as you in principle - I don't really know what the problem is.
    4. Maybe some unique indexes on your table (although this should give an error at the update and not at CFL when "the unique-law is broken"...)?
    Sorry - that's all for the moment.
    Cheers,

  • Call C# method from javascript in WebView and retrieve the return value

    The issue I am facing is the following :
    I want to call a C# method from the javascript in my WebView and get the result of this call in my javascript.
    In an WPF Desktop application, it would not be an issue because a WebBrowser
    (the equivalent of a webView) has a property ObjectForScripting to which we can assign a C# object containg the methods we want to call from the javascript.
    In an Windows Store Application, it is slightly different because the WebView
    only contains an event ScriptNotify to which we can subscribe like in the example below :
    void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    this.webView.ScriptNotify += webView_ScriptNotify;
    When the event ScriptNotify is raised by calling window.external.notify(parameter), the method webView_ScriptNotify is called with the parameter sent by the javascript :
    function CallCSharp() {
    var returnValue;
    window.external.notify(parameter);
    return returnValue;
    private async void webView_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
    var parameter = e.Value;
    var result = DoSomerthing(parameter);
    The issue is that the javascript only raise the event and doesn't wait for a return value or even for the end of the execution of webView_ScriptNotify().
    A solution to this issue would be call a javascript function from the webView_ScriptNotify() to store the return value in a variable in the javascript and retrieve it after.
    private async void webView_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
    var parameter = e.Value;
    var result = ReturnResult();
    await this.webView.InvokeScriptAsync("CSharpCallResult", new string[] { result });
    var result;
    function CallCSharp() {
    window.external.notify(parameter);
    return result;
    function CSharpCallResult(parameter){
    result = parameter;
    However this does not work correctly because the call to the CSharpResult function from the C# happens after the javascript has finished to execute the CallCSharp function. Indeed the
    window.external.notify does not wait for the C# to finish to execute.
    Do you have any solution to solve this issue ? It is quite strange that in a Window Store App it is not possible to get the return value of a call to a C# method from the javascript whereas it is not an issue in a WPF application.

    I am not very familiar with the completion pattern and I could not find many things about it on Google, what is the principle? Unfortunately your solution of splitting my JS function does not work in my case. In my example my  CallCSharp
    function is called by another function which provides the parameter and needs the return value to directly use it. This function which called
    CallCSharp will always execute before an InvokeScriptAsync call a second function. Furthermore, the content of my WebView is used in a cross platforms context so actually my
    CallCSharp function more look like the code below.
    function CallCSharp() {
    if (isAndroid()) {
    //mechanism to call C# method from js in Android
    //return the result of call to C# method
    } else if (isWindowsStoreApp()) {
    window.external.notify(parameter);
    // should return the result of call to C# method
    } else {
    In android, the mechanism in the webView allows to return the value of the call to a C# method, in a WPF application also. But I can't figure why for a Windows Store App we don't have this possibility.

    hi ,
    i think the best way is to create java beans ,in that bean call your EJB ,
    and check the validation over there.
    and make that bean scope to session.
    in each and everypage try to check the session ,if it is not valid then forward to your login page...
    otherwise continue to give access to him like guest

  • How to Sort by the length of the returned value from a query.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to sort by the length of the returned value from a query?
    For example if I want to get a list of people with the name 'Samuel', I would like to short by how short the length of the whole name is.
    Sort by length of the name in SQL
    Samuel Syda
    Samuel Indranaka
    Samuel Johnsons
    Samuel Longhenderson
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sorting is done by an ORDER BY clause at the end of the main query.
    In most cases, you can ORDER BY any expression, even f it is not in the SELECT clause.  In this case, it sounds like you just need:
    ORDER BY  LENGTH (name_column)
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    Post your query, using an ORDER BY clause like the one above, and point out where that query is producing the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get the right results from the given data in those places.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

    any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    f02 is an associative array. See Referencing Arrays in the APEX API Reference for information on how to access values of items created using apex_item methods.

  • The return value of "which"

    Dear OS Xers,
    Subject: Script writing. The "which" command that that returns the location of a program.
    I'm writing a script that, at the beginning and before the main body of the script, checks that the commnds it uses are installed on the system. I was hoping to use "which" to do this, specifically checking the return value thus:
    which ls bash gaga >/dev/null # list of needed functions
    if [ $? != 0 ] # cause a rumpus.
    However I find that the return value is 0=OK even if which can't find some of the programs.
    Now, I can get around this for apple by writing a grep script that checks for "^no " in the std output. However I suspect that apple's implementation is non-standard, and that correctly "which" is meant to return an error value in this case. If this is the case then correctly the thing to do is not to script for apple (I'm only writing for my own, hopefully up-to-date systems!) but to correct the apple implementation.
    I want to check two things with you. First, I have no real basis for saying that apple's implementation is non-standard. I only know that I've checked other systems and man pages and all that I've come across so far indicate that an error is returned. Is there some more authoratitive method of checking what the behaviour should be? Some standards body? Secondly, I realise that this is small fry but I'd be more than happy to update apple's code if they are likely to approve the change. If that's the case can someone please show me where I can find the relevant source code?

    RETURN VALUE
    Which returns the number of failed arguments, or -1 when no `program-
    name' was given.
    Debian implementation:
    EXIT STATUS
    0 if all specified commands are found and executable
    1 if one or more specified commands is nonexistent or not executable
    2 if an invalid option is specified
    I'll have a chance to check the implementation on some solaris machines next week.
    As you can see, they're not consistent in terms of what error they return, but they do all return a non-zero value.

    The fink version ( /sw/bin/which ) does what you're looking as well--it doesn't recognize aliases though. tcsh and OS X's csh (which happens to be a duplicate of the tcsh executable) do recognize aliases.
    I guess the script (/usr/bin/which) is there to either echo one's path when a command's not found or give a different response to aliases. Otherwise one could change the script to:
    #! /bin/csh -f
    which $arg
    exit($?)
    Note the added -f...this prevents aliases from being set by csh when they don't exist in the bash shell. But neither script will recognize aliases set in a bash shell.

  • How to Access the Return Value of a Function

    Hi,
    How do I access the return value when calling an Oracle function from .NET using Oracle.DataAccess.Client? The function returns an integer of 0, 1 or 99.
    Dim db_command_oracle As New OracleCommand()
    db_command_oracle.Connection = db_connection_oracle
    db_command_oracle.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
    db_command_oracle.CommandText = "swsarsi.import_appointments"
    Dim ret_value As New OracleParameter()
    ret_value.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Int32
    ret_value.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
    ret_value.Size = 2
    ret_value.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Int32
    db_command_oracle.Parameters.Add(ret_value)
    Dim IN_student_id As New OracleParameter()
    IN_student_id.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Varchar2
    IN_student_id.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
    IN_student_id.Size = 10
    IN_student_id.Value = student_id
    db_command_oracle.Parameters.Add(IN_student_id)
    db_command_oracle.ExecuteNonQuery()
    messagebox.show(ret_value) ?????

    Your ODP.NET code looks correct. What error are you seeing?
    One thing that will definitely generate an error is that .NET message boxes require that strings be displayed. ret_value is a parameter object. You need to access its value and convert it to a string. At a minimum, you need to change that.

  • Get the return value of an RFC function / BAPI

    Hello,
    I'm a Web Dynpro Java beginner and I try to get the return value (domain: NUMC6) of an RFC function without success.
    Here is what I do, could you please tell me what is wrong?
    First, here is my context:
    Context
    |
    |---- ZMy_Bapi
         |
         |---- MyOutputResult
         |     |
         |     |---- MyReturnValue
         |
         |---- MyInput
    My model:
    MyModel
    |
    |---- ZMy_Bapi_Input
         |
         |---- Output
         |     |
         |     |---- ZMy_Bapi_Output
         |          |
         |          |---- Return_Value
         |
         |---- Input_Value
    The mapping between them:
    - MyInput is mapped to Input_Value
    - MyReturnValue is mapped to Return_Value
    And my code:
    ZMy_Bapi_Input bapiInput = new ZMy_Bapi_Input();
    wdContext.nodeZMy_Bapi().bind(bapiInput);
    bapiInput.setInput_Value("A value");
    executeZMy_Bapi();
    ZMy_Bapi_Output bapiOutput = new ZMy_Bapi_Output();
    wdContext.nodeMyOutputResult().bind(bapiOutput);
    IMyOutputResultElement outputElement = wdContext.nodeMyOutputResult().currentMyOutputResultElement();
    String result = outputElement.getMyReturnValue();
    Finally, here is the code of the executeZMy_Bapi() function:
    try {
         wdContext.currentZMy_BapiElement().modelObject().execute();
         wdContext.nodeMyOutputResult().invalidate();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
    My problem is that "result" keeps being empty
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    It still doesn't work, I'm gonna turn crazy!
    But there is one good point: I get the method you mentioned: getZMy_Bapi_OutputElementAt and getMyReturnValue without casting, just as you said first.
    Here are the updated context, model, mapping and code.
    Context:
    MyContext
    |
    |---- ZMy_Bapi
         |
         |---- MyOutputResult
         |     |
         |     |---- ZMy_Bapi_Output
         |          |
         |          |---- MyReturnValue
         |
         |---- MyInput
    Model:
    MyModel
    |
    |---- ZMy_Bapi_Input
    |     |
    |     |---- Output
    |     |     |
    |     |     |---- ZMy_Bapi_Output
    |     |          |
    |     |          |---- Return_Value
    |     |
    |     |---- Input_Value
    |
    |
    |---- ZMy_Bapi_Output
         |
         |---- Return_Value
    Mapping
    ZMy_Bapi     --> ZMy_Bapi_Input
    MyOutputResult     --> Output
    ZMy_Bapi_Output     --> ZMy_Bapi_Output
    MyReturnValue     --> Return_Value
    MyInput          --> Input_Value
    Code
    ZMy_Bapi_Input bapiInput = new ZMy_Bapi_Input();
    wdContext.nodeZMy_Bapi().bind(bapiInput);
    bapiInput.setInput_Value("A value");
    executeZMy_Bapi();
    ZMy_Bapi_Output bapiOutput = new ZMy_Bapi_Output();
    wdContext.nodeMyOutputResult().bind(bapiOutput);
    String result = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeZMy_Bapi_Output().size(); i++) {
         IZMy_Bapi_OutputElement resultElem = wdContext.nodeZMy_Bapi_Output().getZMy_Bapi_OutputElementAt(i);
         if (resultElem.getMyReturnValue() != "" && resultElem.getMyReturnValue() != null) {
              result = resultElem.getMyReturnValue();
