Geting a variable from a String

Hi, i need to get a variable from a string. For example:
int test1;
int test2;
int test3;
int test = getvariablefromstring("test"+3);
..................

Reflection will work for member variables, not locals. It'sprobably not the right solution for you though.
If you just want test1, test2, test3, ... testN, then you want an array or a List.

  • Naming a variable from a string

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert a String into a variable name.
    for example "namevariable" is converted to the variacle name and then used like below:
    namevariable = new classname( );
    any ideas ?
    thanks

    I am trying to convert a String into a variable name.This kind of programing using information about the program is called reflection.
    You can create an instance of a certain type by
       Class�t�= Class.forName("java.lang.Thread")This works only for getting a new instance, or the instance, in case you have a static class.

  • Escape single quote from a String variable

    Hi,
    I have a String variable called "name" which i am using in my form tag.
    <form name=test action="test.jsp?fname=<%=name%>" method="post">
    But i am getting Javascript error if the "name" variable contains a string with some special characters like single quote( ' ).
    Plz help me to escape this special char from my String variable.
    Thanks..

    You need to url-encode the value using the URLEncoder class.
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
    For example:
    <form name=test action="test.jsp?fname=<%=URLEncoder.encode(name, "ISO-8859-1")%>" method="post">

  • Looking for a better way to determine string variable from multiple options

    Hi,
    I trying to figure out a better way to determine a string variable from multiple options.
    Say i have five pictures each with a different filename: img1 - img5...these file names could be named anything really but for this example i will keep them as img1, img2, img3, img4 and img5.
    I want to display a messagebox with the string depending on what a certain variable is.
    So for example, we have the number X, if X = 1 then i want the messagebox to show "img1" as the message
    Essentially the way I have been doing it so far is:
    Private Sub WhichImage()
    Dim ImageName As String = ""
    Dim i as integer
    If i = 0 Then
    ImageName = "img1"
    End If
    If i = 1 Then
    ImageName = "img2"
    End If
    If i = 2 Then
    ImageName = "img3"
    End If
    If i = 3 Then
    ImageName = "img4"
    End If
    If i = 4 Then
    ImageName = "img5"
    End If
    MessageBox.show(imagename, "Name of image", MsgBox.Style.OkOnly, MsgBoxResult.Ok)
    end
    Up until now, this has been fine, but what if I have 50 images, do I have to do this for all 50 images? or is there an easier way like putting the image names into a text file and have it read from the file depending on what the variable i equals? If so,
    how do I go about this? Does each image name go on a separate line? can it just be separated by a comma instead? or is there a better way?
    Please note that i know that i have declared "i" above in my code and not intialised it with anything, in reality "i" comes from somewhere else in the program so please ignore that part, it is not what I am concerned with.
    Thanks
    Mersec

    Does each image name go on a separate line? can it just be separated by a comma instead? or is there a better way?
    Arrays are useful for this.
    Dim imagenames() As String = {"img1", "img2", "img3", "img4", "img5"}
    Dim imagename As String = imagenames(i)
    MessageBox.Show(imagename, "Name of image")
    Any sort of collection will do instead of an array, and may be simpler to manage. There are many other options - the most suitable one probably depends on where the names originally come from.  For instance, if you are getting them from a folder
    using the FileSystem.GetFiles method, then they are already in a collection.
    If the files names never change then you may as well include them in the program code, using something like the code above.  If they can change, then you could use a text file, but that means you need a file update routine.  If that is required
    then the way you store the names will dictate how you access them.

  • Why does DB2 Data Flow Task query does not accept a date coming from a string or datetime variable in SSIS?

    I am trying to compare a DB2 date format to a date variable from SSIS. I have tried to set the variable as datetime and string. I have also casted the SQL date as date in the data flow task. I have tried a number of combinations of date formats, but no luck
    yet. Does anyone have any insights on how to set a date (without the time) variable and be able to use it in the data flow task SQL? It has to be an easy way to accomplish that. I get the following error below:
    An invalid datetime format was detected; that is, an invalid string representation or value was specified. SQLSTATE=22007".
    Thanks!

    Hi Marcel,
    Based on my research, in DB2, we use the following function to convert a string value to a date value:
    Date(To_Date(‘String’, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))
    So, you can set the variable type to String in the package, and try the following query:
    ACCOUNT_DATE  BETWEEN  '11/30/2013' AND  Date(To_Date(?, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))

  • Dynamic Variable name (for int/long) from a String variable

    Hi,
    I want to give a int/long variable name from a String.
    for ex.
    String str = lookup + "Id";
    lookup is a String variable coming from XML. Now, for instance lookup="name". So str = "nameId".
    Now I want to create a int/long variable by nameId.
    Could anybody tell me the way how to do. Please don't tell to use MAP.
    Edited by: Shah on Dec 5, 2007 3:26 PM

    Well you can't. Use a Map.
    The compiler translates variable names into slot numbers, either within an object or withing the local "stack frame" and these slot numbers are assigned names at compile time. No new slots can be created at run time. Java is not Basic.
    Reflection allows you to find existing field names and methods (not local variables), so it's possible to map, for example, XML attribute names to field names or setters in an object but the names have to be known at compile time.

  • Dynamically Setting a Variable from a Connection String that has been set by a Config File

    Hi Guys
    I'm setting up a Master / Slave (Parent / Child) dtsx environment but I'm unable to work out how to dynamically set a variable in the Master dtsx from a connection string that has had its value set by a config file. I'm sure it's possible.
    Below is the what I'm hoping to achieve. I've set up everything apart from the highlighted section.
    Any ideas?

    First, what version of SQL Server are you using?
    You could switch the problem around.  You could set the value of a variable from the config file, then it is easy to use that variable as the connection string source for your connection manager.  At the same time you can use a parent variable
    configuration to map that variable to variables in your child package.

  • Problems with Reflection API and intantiating an class from a string value

    I want to instantiate a class with the name from a String. I have used the reflection api so:
    static Object createObject(String className) {
    Object object = null;
    try {
    Class classDefinition = Class.forName(className);
    object = classDefinition.newInstance();
    } catch (InstantiationException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    return object;
    Let's say my class name is "Frame1".
    and then if i use:
    Frame1 frm = (Frame1) createObject("Frame1");
    everything is ok but i cannot do this because the name "Frame1" is a String variable called "name" and it doesn't work like:
    name frm = (name) createObject("Frame1");
    where i'm i mistaking?
    Thanks very much!

    i have understood what you have told me but here is a little problem
    here is how my test code looks like
    Class[] parameterTypes = new Class[] {String.class};
    Object frm = createObject("Frame1");
    Class cls = frm.getClass();
    cls.getMethod("pack",parameterTypes);
    cls.getMethod("validate",parameterTypes);
    everything works ok till now.
    usually if i would of had instantiated the "Frame1" class standardly the "cls" (or "frm" in the first question ) object would be an java.awt.Window object so now i can't use the function (proprietary):
    frame_pos_size.frame_pos_size(frm,true);
    this function requires as parameters: frame_pos_size(java.awt.Window, boolean)
    because my cls or frm objects are not java.awt.Window i really don't find any solution for my problem. I hope you have understood my problem. Please help. Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Can you create an object from a string

    I have been working on creating a dynamic form, creating the
    form items from an xml file. I am getting very close to conquering
    this task. I will share it when it's complete.
    However, I am stuck at the moment trying to create an object
    from a string. For example, if the xml item is an HBox I want to
    create an HBox. Like this: parentObject = new arrayOfFormItems[
    index ]..type ()
    This isn't working. First, is this possible using some syntax
    I am unaware of in Flex? I don't want to use a large if or case
    statement if possible.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thank you very much. Indeed that did solve the one problem. I
    missed the casting as a Display Object. That is awesome!
    I do still however, have to instantiate one of every item I
    want to dynamically create or I get the following error when I try
    to create a dynamic object that I have not instantiated before.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable HBox is not defined.

    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
    I read that you have no choice but to instantiate one of each
    type to force the linker to link the code for that class into the
    .swf. Unless you know another way to force it.
    This is what I have in my Application mxml to get it to work:
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Text visible="false"/>
    <mx:TextArea visible="false"/>
    <mx:TextInput visible="false"/>
    <mx:DateField visible="false"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    And those are the types I'm using to test with. . . I will
    have to add all the others I want to use as well . . .

  • Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?

    Hi !
    Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?
    Example:
    @VAR contains the following text "ABCDEFGHIJKLM"
    I'am seaching for FGH, it start on pos. 6 en ends on pos 8.
    How can I get these numbers 6 and 8 ?
    So, I can use them in the MID(text,start,len) function.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sooraj,
    I'll explain more in detail:
    From a web-service I get a variable called @Spec.
    This variable contains the following:
    "MOTORTYPE[CR]D-QW1234[LF]PART[CR]1234-FRD-X[LF]"
    or
    "MOTORTYPE[CR]ABC[LF]PART[CR]E-435[LF]"
    I need the values behind MOTORTYPE[CR] and behind PART[CR]
    But you’ll see that the positions of these values are different each time.
    If there is a way to get the (start) position of "MOTORTYPE[CR]" or "PART[CR]" and the (end) position of the first "[LF]" behind that,
    then I could use the MID() function to get the correct values.
    The values will be displayed in a table view (between other fields).
    An ABAP-call/function won’t work . . . how should I invoke this within a table column/field object ? (system action ?)

  • How to store serval char variables into a string variable?

    I have serval char variables, but i don't know how to put them together (without using arrays). I am thinking to store these char variables into a string variable but i don't know how to do it. For example,
    char letter1 = 'a', letter2 = 'b', letter3 = 'c';
    String letters;
    then how can i do to make letters = "abc" from using letter1,2,3?
    I am just a beginner of Java, if anyone can help me, i will appreciate that very much!!!

    String letters=""+leter1+letter2+letter3;is fine and dandy. What it actually compiles to is
    String letters = new StringBuffer().append(letter1).append(letter2).append(letter3).toString();Which ofcourse is much more code to write, but still good to know.
    So do see the API for java.lang.StringBuffer.

  • Moving Variable from one class to another.

    I need to get a Variable from one class to another how would I do this?

    Well this is a very tipical scehario for every enterprise application. You always create logger classes that generate log files for your application, as that is the only way to track errors in your system when its in the production enviorment.
    Just create a simple class that acts as the Logger, and have a method in it that accepts a variable of the type that you are are trying to pass; most commonly a String; but can be overloaded to accept constom classes. e.g.
    class Logger
      public void log(String message)
        writeToFile("< " + new Date() + " > " + message);
      public void log(CustomClass queueEvent)
        log("queue message was: " + queueEvent.getMessage() + " at: " + queueEven.getEventTime());
    }Hope this makes things clearer
