Finding the length of a path

hey,
i'm using cs3 and i have a few simple paths (curves) and i'd like to know the length of these curves but i can't seem to find an option, or whatever, for that.
thanks

You mean the length as you travel along the curves?
Can't be done I'm afraid, at least not very accurately.
If it's really important you could try arranging a whole lot of little squares along the path so that they touch each other and then counting them. But the result won't be accurate unless the squares are very small.
However, if you know how the curves are constructed geometrically you can sometimes calculate their lengths.
For example if the curve is an arc of a circle and you know the angle it subtends as a proportion of 360 degrees then it's fairly easy to use pi to find the length of it.
Circumference of a circle = pi x diameter.

Ellipses are more of a bother and I don't know the formulas for sinus curves, parabolas and that sort of thing.

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));
Output:

How to find the length of the resultset

how to find the length of the resultset

(Doing a select count as somebody suggested is nota
good solution, as the count can change betweenyour
count query and your real query.)And the number of rows can't change between getting
the last one and doing the actual work?I don't think so. Once you've got the ResultSet, I don't think it will change under you, unless you explicitly set it to SCROLL_SENSITIVE.
I could be mistaken though.

Find the length of a string in pixels

Hello all,
Wondering if there's a way in PowerShell to find the length of a given string in pixels?

That would depend on the font used to draw it, including size, bold / italic, etc. Assuming you know those things, there's a TextRenderer.MeasureText method in the Windows Forms library:
$string = 'This is my string. There are many like it, but this one is mine.'
$font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font('Arial', 12, [System.Drawing.FontStyle]'Bold, Italic')
$size = [System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer]::MeasureText($string, $font)
$size.Width

How do i find the length of a string??

trying to use the substring, I know the beginIndex (in my case 10), but the string will vary in size and so i need to find the last character and set it as the endIndex, how do i do this?
public String substring(int beginIndex,
int endIndex)Returns a new string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length of the substring is endIndex-beginIndex.
Examples:
"hamburger".substring(4, 8) returns "urge"
"smiles".substring(1, 5) returns "mile"
Parameters:
beginIndex - the beginning index, inclusive.
endIndex - the ending index, exclusive.
Returns:
the specified substring.

Hi
To substring the string where u know the begin index and want to extract till the end use the following function from the String class of the java.lang package
String substring(int beginindex);
String test = "Hello";
String xx = test.substring(1);
The Value stored in xx will be ello
This is in case u need till the end of the String
If wanna skip the last character u can
use
String substring(int beginindex,int endindex);
String test = "Hello";
String xx = test.substring(1,test.length()-1);
The Value stored in xx will be ell

Finding the length of a string

hi im pretty new to all this,
I am adding a part to my very basic program where the user can type "y" or "n" after they are being asked if they want to continue, I have been able to do this ok but im trying to make the program as air-tight as possible and i'm having troubble with the error checking.
I have told the program what to do next based on the first character the user has typed (character 0), I would like my prorgam to prevent continuation if more than one character was entered into the string. At present it still recognises ydr (example) as a valid entry, is there anyway i can detect if there is more than one character in the sting? by doing so i'll be able to throw back an error to the user.
do
System.out.println("Would you like to continue (y/n)");
System.out.println("");
tmpans = scan.nextLine();
      if (tmpans.length > 1)
      //i know the above method of detecting the length dosn't work with strings, is there an alternative?
        exchar = true;
        System.out.println("You have entered too many characters");
      else
        exchar = false;
      while (exchar);
      if (tmpans.charAt(0) == 'y')
... etc

Find the length of a String, without using any String API

Hi All,
I need to write an method which will accept String obj as an argument and will return its length, but method should not have any String API.
Please help

Please helpWell I have strongly argued against doing this, (it seems like a pointless exercise), and I have even stated that it cannot be done, even Reflection at some level will use a String method. I have not bothered to dissect wether the same is true with JNI. However, if we take the statement of the original problem exactly as stated, particularly the
but method should not have any String API.i.e. we don't care if a String API is used 'under the covers', just so long as there is no direct usage in the new method that is written, then the answer is trivially easy:
public class Main
    public static void main(String args[])
        Main worker = new Main();
        String str = "123456789";
        int len = worker.strLenUsingNoExplicitStringClassMethod(str);
        System.out.println("Length of string \""+str+"\""+" is "+len);
    public int strLenUsingNoExplicitStringClassMethod(String string)
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(string);
        return sb.length();

How to find programatically the length of a private key?

Hello,
I generate a keystore and a private key in it with the command:
keytool -genkey -v -alias myPrivKey -keyalg RSA -keysize 4096I then can access the private key with the following code:
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("/path/to/keystore", keyStorePassword);
ks.load(is);
KeyStore.PasswordProtection protParam = new KeyStore.PasswordProtection(privKeyPassword);
KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry privKeyEntry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry)ks.getEntry("myPrivKey", protParam);
PrivateKey privKey = privKeyEntry.getPrivateKey();How can I get the length of the private key using the PrivateKey privKey object in my code? In this case I know it is 4096, but how can I find the lengths of arbitrary rsa private keys?
Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

How to find the total length of the string drawed in a rect?

Hello Everybody,
I am drawing a string in on one rect using drawInRect method. This drawInRect method gives us a return value as size of the rect. I need length of the string that is did draw in that rect, but didn't find any api to do this.
Can anyone tell me , how find the length of the string which we did draw in rect?
Any help regarding this issue , is highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Pandit

Hi Adreas,
First of all, very thanks for the response.
Actually , I am looking for other thing. Using drawInRect method I am drawing contentString in self.rect like below.
//code
[contentString drawInRect:self.rect withFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Verdana" size:14.0] lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap alignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
//End
My contentString is much larger string, so I am not able to draw it in rect(length: 320.0 height: 460.0) completely. My rect is showing only a part of a contentString. So I need to get that part of string which did draw in the rect, so that I can process my contentString to get the remaining string to draw it a next rect.
The above code statement is returning me the CGSIZE , it is giving the size of the rect but not giving any information of the string which get draw in that rect.Do you have any idea how to do this?
Any information on this is highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Pandit

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.
