Formatting a timestamp into string with $ specifier

Formatting a timestamp into string with $ specifier does not work; the formatted string is empty and no error is reported:
I have forced the width to 10 to show that the format is at least partially scanned but when it is omitted the timestamp field is empty.
I couldn't find this problem reported/addressed so here it is (LabVIEW 8.6)
LabVIEW, C'est LabVIEW

Yes, the simple work around is to put the timestamp first in both the string and the inputs.  But this is a bug.  There is no doubt about that.  A high priority?  Probably not.  Something that should be looked for when doing a revamp of the Format String?  Yep.

  • Convert document into string with unicode

    I don't know of any way to tell the parser to convert is for you, you'll have to replace the characters yourself after you got the string from the parser.

  • Convert timestamp to string with milliseconds showing.

    I have two questions. The first is I need to know how to convert the timestamp that displays from "Get Date/Time in seconds" to a string format.  I found the vi that converts to string but it stops at seconds and cuts off the milliseconds. I wired true to the "Get seconds" terminal so I get the time in seconds, I just don't get the millisecond value. Also I need to know if the clock from "Get Date/Time in seconds", is synchronized (or shows the same time down to the millisecond) with the timestamp that shows in the CAN read vi. I need to have the clock/timestamp from the CAN read synchronized with the "Get Date/Time in seconds" clock/timestamp. I am trying to compare delays in the CAN so I need precision down to the millisecond.

    Use Format Date/Time String.  For the format code use %H%M%S%4u to get two digits for hours, two digits for minutes, two digits for seconds, then a decimal, and after the decimal you get 4 digits for fractions of a second.  Replace the 4 with a 3 to get milliseconds, or with a 1 to get tenths of a second.   You get the idea...  See attached vi.

  • Formatting a string with time stamp and double precision numbers

    %s\t%f\r%f
    This is a format string that I have in old code that I've decided to change.  Problem is I cannot make sense of the string codes in my own old code! Let me explain what I want, and hopefully someone can explain how to do it.
    I am using the format into string subvi to merge a time stamp (formatted as %m%d%Y%H%M%S%5u) and two different double precision numbers.  This string is then wired into the Write Characters to File subvi so that I can record data as a .txt file, and open it in either Matlab or Excel.  There is a minor problem with the string format above because in excel the first time stamp entry is blank, and the first loop only gives the two double precision numbers withouth the time stamp - the time stamp appears in the next loop (probably a looping issue and not due to the string format, but if you see differently please let me know).  Now what I want to do is 1. potentially fix that problem and 2. add some more doubles. 
    1. Is there a string format issue that is evident that I am not seeing that causes the time stamp to be formatted into the string after a carriage return?  Or should I be looking at looping issues?
    2. How do I add another one - three floating point numbers (double precision)?  Are the \'s marking different numbers in this string constant?  Or is it the %?  I can't find any information about the \'s, but I see that % begins the format specifier. 
    Ideally, I want these data in the following columns:  Date, Time(absolute), FP, FP, FP, carriage return for the next loop (FP is floating point double precision number).
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Hi JonN,
    Here there is no need of string concordinate function (in your code), the same result you can find if you connect the output of the format string to shift register, and shift register in data to initialize string connector in format into string function.

    Thanks citcru.
    I followed the same pattern as you showed.
    I needed timezone too. so i modified the code as below... hope someone else may need this. I refered in the forums for this example.
    int Year = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(0,4));
    int Month = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(4,6));
    int Day = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(6,8));
    int Hour = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(8,10));
    int Minutes = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(10,12));
    int Seconds = Integer.parseInt(Time.substring(12));Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST"));
    calendar.set(Year,(Month-1),Day,Hour,Minutes,Seconds);
    Timestamp tstamp = new Timestamp(calendar.getTime().getTime());
    Thanks again citrcu for the reply, this helped me a lot.

    I was on this site searching for an answer to my problem, and you provided the solution for me with your response to the above.  However, my problem was a bit different.  I needed a way to format a 9-digit number string into a standard Social Security number format.  I used your formula from above, and WOW - it worked!  If I could award you double Forum Points, I would.  But, since I can't do that, I will just say thanks, and ask God to bless you profusely.

  • Format into string 16 bit signed integer

    Is there any format specifier string for "Format into string", whereas the result is an I16 string?
    My problem is when I use "%d" and the input string is 65535, the result string should be "-1".
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you trying to get an integer out of an ASCII string (Scan from String) or turn an integer into a string (Format into String).  You title and question seem to contradict each other.
    Assuming you are trying to scan from string, it looks like you need to scan into a U16 and then use a conversion bullet to turn it into an I16.

  • Format Into String

    Hello all,
    I would like to format a string with "a white space" between each
    string member. i am at odds as for the format, for the "format
    string" in the Format Into String function. let me rephrase that...
    the format which needs to be used to format the "FORMAT STRING" in the
    Format Into String function.
    i looked at the help, but it seemed very nebulous to me. all i need is
    to have "a white space" or a "carriage return" between the string
    members and store it to a file.

    The format string is basically what ANSI C uses, but that string
    function has a dialog to help you build it. Either double click the
    node or right click and use the last item.
    In the dialog, you can place a format string followed by an exact string
    followed by another format
    string. For the exact string you can enter a
    space to output a white space, but to do a carriage return you have to
    use a \n or \r.
    Another way to do this, which I think is much easier and easier to read,
    is to use the Concatonate Strings node with three inputs. To the top
    wire the first string, to the middle wire a string constant from the
    next to last row. This is a much cleaner way to do the constants. And
    on the bottom input put the other string.
    Format into String is much more powerful when appending many types of
    data, but the simple append is clearer when it is powerful enough.

  • How to convert BLOB data into string format.

    Hi,
    I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
    for example,
    Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
    will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
    When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
    declare
    my_var CLOB;
    BEGIN
    for x in (Select X from T)
    loop
    my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
    end loop
    return my_var;
    I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
    My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
    Please help me to resolve this,
    Thanx in advance for the support,

  • Converting sql timestamp into a usable java format??

    hi there.
    does anyone know how to convert an sql timestamp into a usable java format? i have retrieved a timestamp from a mysql table in a jsp script and would like to convert it into the following format:
    12:42pm | 08.07.02
    as i understand it, i'll need to convert the timestamp into seconds since 1970 and then manipulate it as a calendar object? my first line is working, but i don't know what to do after...
    java.sql.Timestamp sqlTimestamp = resultSet.getTimestamp("date_and_time");
    next...?
    any help would be much appreciated!!
    thanks.

    please excuse my java sytnax ignorance, but i've tried a bunch of different syntax arrangements and can't figure out how to use the getTime() method. what comes after my first line there?
    java.sql.Timestamp sqlTimestamp = resultSet.getTimestamp("date_and_time");
    then something like:
    long msec=date.getTime(sqlTimestamp);
    but that doesn't seem to work...

    DATA3                          VARCHAR2 (255)
    I need to get ATTVAL from where e.g. ATTNAME=att_name1 to ATTNAME=att_name6 from every entry (with its unique ID), and format the output into comma delimited format in e.g. this order:
    att_val1,att_val3,att_val6,att_val4,att_val5,att_val6
    So e.g. for entry with ID "9812" from the query below, the output I need would be:
    187,179,156,134,1436,1809
    What I've got so far is as follows:

    77 att_name2 1345
    77 att_name6 1345

    Would someone have idea how this could be done?

    I got much further now :).
    I've got Oracle 10g So I used the "SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH" for my query.
    Now I get the output in the format I want, however, it comes out in the order that the attributes are (which is pretty random).The values you posted are in order: 'attval1' < 'attval2' < ...
    So I'm using this now(had to use "|" as separator because SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH would not work with comma due to some of the attval having comma in them ):The values you posted don't contain and commas.
    You're hiding what the problem is. It would really help if you posted actual data. It always helps if you post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data, and the results you want from that data.
    Assuming you really have something that has to be in a certain order, and that order is not based on anything in the values themselves, then DECODE might be a good way to do it. Storing the sort value in a table might be even better.
    It looks like you were using an Oracle 9 exanple. In Oracle 10, using SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH is simpler:
    SELECT     id
    ,     LTRIM ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (attval, '|')
               , '|'
               )          AS attvals
    FROM     (
              SELECT     id
              ,     attval
              ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  id
                                  ORDER BY          DECODE (...)
                                )     AS curr
              WHERE     id     IN (
                             SELECT  id
                             FROM     table_1
                             WHERE     data2     = 'xxx'
              AND     attname     IN ('attname1','attname2','attname3','attname4','attname5','attname6')
    WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
    START WITH     curr     = 1

    One problem is that you don't understand escaping. If you re-read what you posted you'll see that what you say you get, and what you say you want, are identical. That's because you didn't escape one of the two properly. So your first step should be to find the section about escaping in Chapter 1 of your XML book and read it carefully. Figure out what you should have done here (yes, the same rules apply).
    However, to attempt to answer what I think your question is: if you have a String which contains markup, and you want to convert that String to XML elements, then you have to feed the String into an XML parser.
