How can I conditionally change text output?

Trying to modify text output, inline, based on a True|False condition
i.e.:
"the condition is: <condition>" should become
"the condition is: Yup" or "the condition is: Badboy"
I'm trying to use some inline code.  for example: "{if ($condition) {"Yup"} else {"Nope"}}" but can't seem to get it to work.
cls
$condition=$true
if ($condition) {"Yup"} else {"Nope"}  #this actually provides the proper output, but I can't seem to integrate it to the complete string output.
#the following line does not provide the proper result. 
"Test string " + ({if ($condition) {"Yup"} else {"Nope"}}) +"."

Hi Murdan,
In addition, add some explanations to the methods above, we could use the “dollar sign + round brackets” and the expression in the brackets in double-quoted strings, whatever is in
the brackets should be evaluated first.

  • How Can I add/change text/description in accounting view of Vendor master ?

    /nxk02 --> (give vendor, company code ) 
    then check the check box of 'Accounting info' under Company code data block -->  then hit 'Enter'
    --> it goes to next screen.  Then in this screen, click menu 'Extras' --> then press "Texts" under that menu. 
    So that popup screen appears with the Description.
    I need to know from where these descriptions are coming or where these descption  can be maintained ? Because I need to add/change these  descriptions to my vendors
    YOUR HELP IS HIGHLTY APPRECIATED.  Please help....
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    Hi Aman,
    Because these texts are maintained at Company Code level for the Vendor, they are part of the Accounts Payable configuration in the SAP IMG.

  • How can I automatically change text in headers?

    I am working in a dictionary center. As usual in such fields, we use character style as variables for headers. However, I need to remove certain items from the headers, namely dots (e.g. I want the lemma de-ci-si-on to appear as 'decision'). Is there any script to achieve this?
    Alternatively, I tried for another solution:  to automatically find/replace the dots using the character style, but, I see that no search into variables is possible.
    Do you think of any solution? I appreciate it much and thank you in advance.

    I tried it today, Fred, and it worked perfectly!
    Thank you very much for the advice.

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JFrameTester{
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
              f.setSize( 500, 500 );
              ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
              MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I create a Text-Input Field in BexAnalyzer for a Planning Function

    Hello,
    i want to create a pre calculation(contribution accounting) for Materials in BI-Integrated Planning. These Materials aren't in the master data. So I create a new Info Object for pre calculated materials with only a material-number as key and a text-description.
    Now I want to write a Exit-Function, which creates new materials in these Info Object. The user should start this function in a planning application in BexAnalyzer. There the user should have the possibility to enter a text-description for the new material. How can I create such a Text-Field in BexAnalyzer and how can I read this text filed in a planning function (exit).
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jürgen,
    you can create a parameter for this in the exit function and a variable for the parameter. In BEx Analyzer then create a button for the planning function; in the button parameterization use VAR_NAME = , i.e. use an Excel formula here to get the value from an Excel input field.
    The command range should be some 'hidden area' in your Excel sheet.
    But may be you don't need this. Use a characteristic without master data. Then ensure that that the query uses the option 'key' as display. In new lines you can then enter the key, the system creates a SID on the fly (but the text table will not be updated). In this scenario you may take text also from the key. May be you can update the text table (online or in batch) by simply using function modules from function group RSNDI_MD (not released by SAP).
    But observere that the system in BI Planning reads only the active version, i.e. if you change something on the fly the changes may not be visible.
    Regards,
    Gregor

  • How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

    How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
    How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
    All  newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the  value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
    Procedure
    1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
    a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
    b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
    c) Save the file.
    d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
    e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
    f) Log  in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want  to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
    g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
    2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
    3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
    4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
    RequestCenter_0.properties
    RequestCenter_1.properties
    RequestCenter_2.properties
    RequestCenter_3.properties
    RequestCenter_4.properties
    RequestCenter_5.properties
    RequestCenter_6.properties
    RequestCenter_7.properties
    5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate  RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner  (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
    Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
    If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you  would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
         699=General Inbox
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    String ID  File Name
    0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
    1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
    2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
    3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
    4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
    5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
    6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
    7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
    6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
    7. Restart RequestCenter.
    Your customized text should be displayed.

    I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
    However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page.  Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
    Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button.  We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

  • How can i set predictive text to a foreign language

    I'm new to apple and iPhones. I've got everything setup in English but I frequently want to send text and/or email messages in French. When I do this predictive text jumps in and changes things to what it thinks I want in English. e.g. if I type tous it predicts I want toys and inserts it accordingly. How can I set predictive text to a foreign language.
    (p.s. my wife's iPad works fine as it has a button to press for alternative language but I don't see anything similar for iPhone)

  • How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

    How can I make the text vertical in numbers?  I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

    I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.
    tip #1 :
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPT write_vertically]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : write_vertically.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
    ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
    Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
    Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
    Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.

    In a cell, type a word to write vertically then select it.
    CAUTION, don’t select the cell but the word which must be highlighted.
    Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “write_vertically”
    The script insert in the cell the word after inserting a return between every characters.

  • How can I modify the text of the automatically created emails of WAS 6.40.

    Hi community,
    I have a question. How can I change the text of then email which ist automatically send by the EP6/WAS6.40 when I create a new user. The email displays the message "Dear Sir or Madam, your user xzy was created with the following password xxx."
    How can I modify this text. Where is it located in the Enterprise Portal / WEBAS 6.40 .
    Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    Olaf Reiss

    Not easily or readily available as of now. It WILL be part of the new features in the NetWeaver 04 release. (*This same question was asked in my EP6 certification class one week ago and this is the answer I got.)
    Found this guide in another post...it should help doing what you need manually...

  • How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

    How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

    I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

  • How can I programmatically change a label?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 2-D array that I wish to populate with different sorts of data.  Depending upon the data, the names of the rows and columns may change.  Arrays have to have identical labels and I suppose I could simply populate a string indicator, but frankly, that looks like trash.
    How can I programmatically change a label of a column or a row in a 2-D array?  Should I consider using a table?  I want it to look nice.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi
    I do not think you are able to change the label programatically.
    But you might consider to use Captions instead of labels. You can hide labels and make captions visible programatically, and you can change the text of the caption and size (see enclosed vi).
    take care

  • How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

    How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

    Manish Shama, thanks for your speedy response. I was able to get into my MAC settings and change the background from the black to whatever color I like, so that helps (THANKS!). But the real issue is that the selected text does not turn white (even though that's what's specified in my MAC settings), it remains black. I really want to have the selection reverse out as it always has for years and years going all the way back to PageMaker Any ideas?

  • How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

    How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear.  You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf
