Formatted output (floats)

Hi everyone,
I spent so much time already looking for some classes or functions that I can use to display decimal numbers formatted with a specified width and number of significant figures, but I can't seem to find anything that works fine in Java 1.4
Does anyone know if there is something similar to printf(), but for Java?
I need to display number in the following format:
1.23
23.45 3.455
0.34 65.67 4.556
3.455 5.66 5.67 5.666
I need to have them aligned in columns.
Thanks for the help in advance.

1) Add a roundoff value exactly half of the last digit you'll retain - .005 if you are rounding to two places.
2)Convet to text: String s = "" + myFloat;
3)Find the decimal point: int decLoc = s.indexOf(".");
4)Truncate to the desired # of places: s = s.substring( 0, decLoc+2 );
5)Add enough spaces on the right to pad to the column width.
6)Use a monospaced font when you output.

Initial-page-number not working in RTF format output

A report has a parameter for the page number to start with. In rtf template below code is present
<?initial-page-number:xdoxslt:ifelse(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM!=’’,number(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM),1)?>
The report page number starts with the value which we pass in p_first_page_num in PDF format but in rtf format output it always starts with 1.
Is initial-page-number not supported in RTF format output ? If not then what is the alternative?

the method u followed is fine as need a page number staring from a specify value which u input.
@section is only for resetting page number to 1 for every group and for that pdf and ppt will be fine but only for rtf u need to use that ( pressing F9).
u can use @section and initial page number combined but they give u same output as get now. rtf output wont support it will only reset 1 every time
What ever u do rtf output wont support initial page number code ..........
i mentioned that F9 work around to mention that it is the only work around u have upto now to control rtf output with regards to page number.
Guru's correct me if i am wrong. wait for a day or two if some one from guru's confirm it .
If u need real confirmation raise an SR oracle will let u know .

1.4.2 - What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream

With Java 1.4.2:
What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream?
The following is incorrect, even though it is still used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
System.out.formatThis returns "cannot resolve the method 'format'"
Any detailed suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.

The following is incorrect, even though it is still
used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
The whole format thing has been introduced in 1.5. The tutorial also states it's been "updated to 1.5.".
That's all I've got to say for I don't know how you can format a PrintWriter, let alone a PrintStream, prior to 1.5. I'm not really sure there is any way. Any "legacy way", that is. There almost certainly are third-party API which achieve similar results.

Formatting a float in Java, help please!

Im trying to format a float in a JTable thats been taken from an SQL database, heres what ive got:
float price = results.getFloat(5);
row = new Vector();
row.addElement(new String(results.getString(1)));
row.addElement(results.getString(2));
row.addElement(results.getInt(3));
row.addElement(results.getInt(4));
row.addElement("�"+ (price));
rows.addElement(row);
so i've given the getFloat(5) a variable name 'price' - how do i format the float 'price' to two decimal places, like 0.00? is it some thing like:
float price.%2f = results.getFloat(5);
I cant remember, thanks!

yeh i tried to implement it, but no joy, the JTable still displays to 1 decimal place, which is very odd...
the JTable displays as strings, but its retrieving a float (results.getFloat(5)) so i thought if i called the results.getFloat as a string, then used:
Float price = Float.valueOf(results.getFloat(5)).floatValue();
String.format("%.2f", price);
it would work... i was wrong, lol

How to get XML format output from Hyperion Financial Reporting

Dears,
We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting to replace FSG in fusion. I found that Hyperion FR report can be exported to html/excel/pdf format. However, I would like the report to export to xml format.It means I only need the xml data source.
Anyone who knows how to get the xml format output from Hyperion FR, is there any avaiable API?

I think if you export the report, you will be able to open the .des file in Notepad/Wordpad and see xml content.

Properly formatting output to XML

While the code below would work to format something simple like this:
<USERS>
��<USER>Tim Smith</USER>
��<USER>Jack Dempsey</USER>
��<USER>John Doe</USER>
</USERS>
hd.startDocument();
AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
// USERS tag.
hd.startElement("","","USERS",atts);
for (int i=0;i<id.length;i++)
atts.clear();
hd.startElement("","","USER",atts);
hd.characters(desc.toCharArray(),0,desc[i].length());
hd.endElement("","","USER");
hd.endElement("","","USERS");
hd.endDocument();
How does one do more complex nesting of xml elements? Such as if I wanted the output to resemble:
<USERS>
��<USER>Tim Smith</USER>
��<ADDRESS>14 Main St</ADDRESS>
��<CITY>Denver</CITY>
��<STATE>CO</STATE>
</USERS>

HTML formatted output

Hi All,
I have xml source as,
< SAMPLE_JOB>
< ORG_DESCRIPTION>>& lt;UL& gt;& lt;LI& gt;& lt;DIV class=MsoNormal style=& quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in& quot;
& gt;& lt;SPAN style=& quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt& quot;
& gt;Design and deliver technical training courses to field service engineers, dealer, and customer support
personnel.& lt;/SPAN& gt;& lt;/DIV& gt;& lt;/LI& gt;& lt;/UL& gt;
< /ORG_DESCRIPTION>
< /SAMPLE_JOB>
when i am previewing in pdf output, i am getting the following for < ORG_DESCRIPTION>
< UL>< LI>< DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in">< SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;
mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Design and deliver technical training courses to field service engineers, dealer, and customer support personnel.< /SPAN>< /DIV>< /
LI>< /UL>
I want html formatted output. I saw tims blog. But here in my xml source i am not getting direct tags (instead of "< UL>", i am getting xml output as "& lt; UL & gt;"),
can i also get the xsl equivalent code for tags like UL, LI, DIV, SPAN..
Please help me.

Your XML source is sorta odd.
Where is it coming from?
Word?
This is what your xml should look like:
< SAMPLE_JOB>
< ORG_DESCRIPTION>Design and deliver technical training courses to field service engineers, dealer, and customer support
personnel.< /ORG_DESCRIPTION>
< /SAMPLE_JOB>
Then you put it in your rtf and preview in pdf and it would look ok.
The source xml is the problem - all this stuff is wrong or does not belong:
& lt;/SPAN& gt;& lt;/DIV& gt;& lt;/LI& gt;& lt;/UL& gt;

Formatting output to a file? 1.4.2

I am writing an application that writes result sets from an oracle 10g database query. This output combines both text and numeric.
I cannot figure out how to justify the output to the right or left or force the fields to use a set amount of space regardless of the width of the text.
As a result I get an outfile with perfectly lined up columns except for the one or two where instead of a four digit number there is a single number. This change in width shifts all of the output over.
My customer goes nuts over this, surely there is a way to format output?

OK, I tried today, I really did, I just can't get my brain around how to do what I need to accomplish so here is a pseudo example and i am hoping someone can shed some light.
My application is abstract to enable easy addition of instances of automated reports.
I have a 2d array that contains the column names for a given query. [0] = column name, [1] = space to be applied after results are added to a string buffer.
So, something like this:
StringBuffer entireQueryResults = new StringBuffer();
String[][] QueryColumns = someObject.getQueryColumnNames();
ResultSet currResults = someObject.getResultset();
while(currResults.next()){
String currRow = "";
for(int i = 0; i < QueryColumns.length; i++){
currRow = currRow + currResults.getString(QueryColumns[0])+currResults.getString(QueryColumns[i][1])+"\n";
entireQueryResults.append(currRow);
Now, the problem is that there are columns in the queries that have digits, these can range from a single val to 5 and while 98% of them are 3 digits there are random instances where they are a single digit or even a -1. When this happens it throws the output way off and makes it difficult to read in the resulting email report.
How can I incorporate this into a MessageFormat or ChoiceFormat object to make the output pretty ?

Formatting output values

How can I format output money values to display 2 decimal digits ?
For examole, for table values 1.20, 2.00 DBMS output displays 1.2 and 2. I want to display all missing zeroes.
Thanks

Use a format mask.
SQL> select to_char(1.2,'999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR
1.20
SQL> select to_char(2.0,'999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR
2.00

Formatted output with JAXB

Hi, Please help me with the formatting of output XML file using JAXB. This is my client program that marshals xml content into xml file. This program is creating XML file with no indentation at all. I commented out the line
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
still getting same xml file with no indentation. Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance.
try {
// create a Validator
Validator v = jc.createValidator();
// validate the content tree
boolean valid = v.validate( root );
//logger.info("XML File Validated Successfully" );
Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_SCHEMA_LOCATION, "http://mydomain.com/Schemas/data DT.xsd");
DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName),"UTF-8"),
"UTF-8" );
m.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.namespacePrefixMapper",new NamespacePrefixMapperImpl());
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
m.marshal(root, writer);

logger.error( "Caught ValidationException"+ue ); throw new SdarsDBException("Validation Exception "+ue);

Hi,
try writing to the FileOutputStream directly.
I get formatted output this way.

Captivate MP4 format output

Hi,
I have generated the *.mp4 format output by using captivate 6.0. However, the output quality of the video is not satisfactory. The texts used in the demo are blurred and the image clarity is also not as expected.
Can someone please help me out in generating a high quality video output.
Thanks,
Panendra

OK. Well that rules out one of the main reasons people see degradation in output quality,..resizing the content.
My only other suggestion is that you may need to play around with the publishing settings in Captivate to see if changing something there will improve the quality.
