How can I calculate the characters with spaces in a document on pages

I'm currently using pages to write my personal statement up on, although i need to keep my characters including spaces under 4000 characters and also have no more than 47 lines. I've found how to do a word count and find how many charcaters I've used, but i can't see anywhere the information that I actually need to find! Someone please help, thankyou

How can you calculate the number of lines if you don't know how many characters there are to a line?
This is 2013. We are using word processors with real fonts, not terminals or teletypers or typewriters.
If you must have 47 lines then shrink the point size of the font until it fits.

How can I calculate the request time ?

Hello,
How can I calculate the total consume time in each request ?
For example, I want to start calculating the time when I click on a Link or a button and the end time when it completed load the page !

You could use a filter like this one:

How can I calculate the total time in java?

Hello!
I need to calculate the total time!
For example I have start time:
          Format formatter1;
          Date date1 = new Date();
          formatter1 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
          String startTime = formatter1.format(date1);
          //startTime = "14:20:40";
And I have finish time:
          Format formatter2;
          Date date2 = new Date();
          formatter2 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
          String finishTime = formatter2.format(date2);
          //finishTime = "08:30:55";
So, after manually calculating, I get total time: "18:10:15"
How can I calculate the total time in java? (Using formatter1 and formatter2 I suppose)
What I need is to print "total 18:10:15"
Thanks!

I did the following but, I think something is wrong here:
I defined before: Date date1 = new Date(); Date date2 = new Date();
And it should be exactly 5 seconds between them.
I found delta between date1 and date2:
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
          long timeInMilliFromStart = date1.getTime() - date2.getTime() ;
          Date date3 = new Date(timeInMilliFromStart);
          String timeInSecFromStart = formatter.format(date3);
and I get always
//timeInSecFromStart = 02:00:05
But it should be exactly 00:00:05.
What can be a problem?Because, like I said, a Date measure an instant in time, not a duration. So when you have 5000 ms, and you turn that into a Date, that means 5 sec. after the epoch, which works out to 1/1/1970 00:00:05.000 GMT.
As I mentioned, if you're not currently in GMT, then you have to set the TZ of the DateFormat to GMT. Right now, it's showing you the time in your TZ. If you included the date in your SimpleDateFormat, you'd see either 1/1/1970 or 12/31/1969, depending on which TZ you're in.
Bottom line: You're trying to use these classes in a way they're not meant for, and while you can get the results you want for a limited set of inputs if you understand what these classes do and how to work with that, it's a brittle approach and comes with all kinds of caveats.

Text on path: How can I calculate the text length?

Hi
I have a text on path (spline item). Now I need the length of this text and the length of the spline item.
I try to calculate the text length using IWaxLine::GetWidth(), but this is always 0.
- How can I calculate the length of this text?
- How can I calculate the length of the spline item?
Thanks
Hans

It would be interesting if you could describe the purpose of your "length", but I don't have an answer anyway. Would the bounding box be sufficient?
Considering that TOP may be combined with arbitrary spline paths, this could become an exercise in higher math. I haven't yet encountered a function that returns the mathematical length of such a spline.
Otherwise it could be solved if you iterate and sum up the relevant points of the bounding box (ascender, descender, baseline?) of individual glyphs.
Be warned that the whole TOP looks alien, as if it were a transplant from a different program. Experience also shows that documented and actually used interfaces / commands are completely different animals ...

I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

How can I use the DBAdapter with SequencingPollingStrategy in OSB Cluster?

Hi!
I have a OSB cluster. I need to read a view with the DBAdapter. I use SequencingPollingStrategy to implement the adapter.
Then I import it into OSB and make it work and the service works normally in the single node.
But if I import it into OSB cluster, the service always read the duplication records from the view.(the Distrbute polling is not worked in SequencingPollingStrategy )
So how can I use the DBAdapter with SequencingPollingStrategy in OSB Cluster?
Thank you!

Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

How can I get the variable with the value from Thread Run method?

We want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
How can I get the variable with the value?
This is sample code:
public class SampleSynchronisation
     public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
     public String x="Inside";
     public void run()
          x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to read it from external method. This I dont want to do

We want to access a variable from the run method of a

only. After that scope of the variable gets lost
resulting to null value in the called method/class..
I find it easier to implement the Runnable interface rather than extending a thread. This allows your class to extend another class (ie if you extend thread you can't extend something else, but if you implement Runnable you have the ability to inherit from something). Here's how I would write it:
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String[] args)
    SampleSynchronisation app = new SampleSynchronisation();
public SampleSynchronisation()
    MyRunnable runner = new MyRunnable();
    new Thread(runner).start();
    // yield this thread so other thread gets a chance to start
    Thread.yield();
    System.out.println("runner's X = " + runner.getX());
class MyRunnable implements Runnable
    String X = null;
    // this method called from the controlling thread
    public synchronized String getX()
      return X;
    public void run()
      System.out.println("Inside MyRunnable");
      X = "MyRunnable's data";
} // end class MyRunnable
} // end class SampleSynchronisation>
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run
method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get
only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
public String x="Inside";
public void run()
x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to
read it from external method. This I dont want to do

Your main thread continues to run after the sathr thread is completed, consequently the output is done before the sathr thread has modified the string. You need to make the main thread pause, this will allow sathr time to run to the point where it will modify the string and then you can print it out. Another way would be to lock the object using a synchronized block to stop the main thread accessing the string until the sathr has finished with it.

How can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf in sdk

Hi,
in asc2.0 we need 'fontswf' script to embed fonts instead of use .as file directly.
but here is a problem
I cannt disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf ?
because I have found an issue when I set advancedAntiAliasing is true, then the textfield (which font is embeded) antiAliasType doesn't work even type is advanced. I need set advancedAntiAliasing is false (in asc1.0 you can set it by .as file)
now i just set the sharpness and thickness to workaround in used asc2.0
but i think that is not great.
so how can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf or any other solution?
thanks
hbb

Hello -
That setting is not fully supported. You can explicitly call it like this:
./compc -include-sources ../samples/test/Main.as -output ../samples/test/Main.swf -advanced-anti-aliasing=true/false
So, that is the compiler option that you want to use in order to disable it. The example I show you here uses the command line tool but it is a valid switch via Flash Builder as well

How can I search the tree with a given string?

How can I search the tree with a given string?
I don't find any function like "search(...)".
I want to find the tree nodes which include the given string.
Thanks.

Try it with .com instead of .ca - fixes it for me (corporate firewall blocks .ca here)
http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2013/09/working-with-apex-tree.html
Anyway - it links to an article of mine which describes interacting with the tree: Tom's Blog: Working with the tree in Apex. There is also a demo application on apex.oracle.com: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=54687:38

How can i calculate the average in java

how can i calculate the avergae mark out of two marks for instance in like exam mark out
of two other ones
thanks for considering this message

Average or Mean:
sum_of_N/N
Here N is the number of marks.
sum_of_N is the total sum of n(all marks added together)
public int average(int[] marks) {
int sum;
sum = 0;
for(int i=0;i < marks.length;i++) {
sum=marks[i]+sum; // keep adding to the total
return average = sum/marks.length;
// warning- using an int here can be a pitfall(we could have a decimal outcome).

How can I use the ScrollTablePane with kodo ?

How can I use the ScrollTablePane with kodo, taking a result Query as
a Collection and throw it into the ScrollTablePane , if it not possible ,
Is there a Component which I can do it ?
Thanks , Marco Aurelio.

Marco-
I am not familiar with any "TableScrollPane" classes. Can you clarify
whether this is some 3rd party custom component, or something you have
written?
Note that we do not provide any pre-build graphical data components with
Kodo, but we do intend to provide some examples in the future.
