How do I compare chars?

Hi!
I've got a problem comparing chars. Is there a way to check that a char is "earlier" than another one?
By "earlier" i mean that for example A is earlier than B, B is earlier than C etc.
Thanks in advance!

The javadoc for compareToIgnoreCase states:
This method returns an integer whose sign is that of calling compareTo with normalized versions of the strings where case differences have been eliminated by calling Character.toLowerCase(Character.toUpperCase(character)) on each character. Why use both toUpperCase and toLowerCase?Probably something to do with either the Turkish i's problem or the ß character.I see now. For example: upper case versus lower case versus title case -- it's not either/or.

Comparing chars

how would I compare a char?
when I type this i get an error. it says cannot use == operator error. What is the correct way to do this?

if (charTest == "c" )

A char is declered this way 'c'
You have a String "c"

How can i compare the character fields?

I have a requirement to compare the character fields .
I have to compare the 2 character fields of a table CDPOS
As follows .
If CDPOS-VALUE-OLD GT CDPOS-VALUE-NEW
      Populate    REDATED = YES.
ELSE
      Populate REDATED = NO.
My doubt here is how can we compare the character fields.?
   When I do Extended Program Check: I am getting error like this ?
Greater than/less than comparisons with character type operands may not be portable
Please give me idea .
Thanks ,
Suresh Kumar.

Comparing char to a value

How do you compare a value of a character to another value...I don't really know how to explain here is my code
      int x=1;
      int[] answer;
      String newString="";
      String result=enter.getText();
      int size=result.length();
      char theCharacter;
      for(x=1; x<=size; x++)
        theCharacter = result.charAt(x);
        while(theCharacter != " " && x <= size)
          newString=newString+result.charAt(x);
        answer[x]=Integer.parseInt(newString);
        enter.setText("");
      }I am trying to take input from a textbox and read the input until I get to a space basically.

You could try.
String newString = "";
int iSpace = result.indexOf(" ");
if (iSpace >=0)
newString = result.substring(0,iSpace);
else
newString = result;

How can I compare the actual and expected values in Unit testing when they are XML files?

I have created a unit test for a method in VS 2008. My expected value and actual value are XMLs. Therefore though the output is same as I expect it gives an error as I am doing string comparison now. How can I compare these 2 XMLs in expected output and
actual output format in Unit Testing?
mayooran99

In unit test, when you want to validate XML files, you feed them into the class / struct that you want to feed the XML into and compare the values there (You don't just feed it in XMLReader and feed it line by line, right? But if it really is, that's how
you should also test it in unit tests).
In short, how you'd use the XML in your code, that's how you should test it in unit test.

My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

You should be able to findout NULL using isnull([object]) function.. at report layer..
Try with the below formula which should work for you
=If Isnull(trim([object])) then "Inpatient Stays" else [Object]

How can I compare more than two VIs at a same time in labview 2009

How can I compare more than two VIs at the same time. I am an Lab Engineer I have to check assignments submitted by students and I want to know how many of them are copied from each other. Labview compare VI can only compare two VI at a time while I want to check about 30 VIs at same time.
Regards,

I'm not aware of a tool to compare multiple VIs. If you don't find anything, consider posting this to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange to expose this idea directly to NI R&D.
Thanks!

how to get those values please give a solution
and
when i am trying to make the BDC recording of creation of meterial in this process
in MRP3 when i give configurable meterial = Lamp or CT or VOLTMETER and when
i go for configurevariants button it's not displaying any Char Description for the perticular meterial
but in general when i creat a material process there Char Description are coming where i can give the values
how to get those Char Description when i record please give a solution

Hi Maen Anachronos
i am Getting popup where i can give any value
but in creation of meterial for a perticular config meterial there is will be 1 templete in which we will get some constant Char Description where we'll have some options to give the value

How can i compare: java.util.Date oracle.jbo.domain.Date?

I have made a ViewObject wich contains a date column.
I want to check if this date is smaller/greater than sysdate:
i get following error:
Error(45,24): method <(java.util.Date, oracle.jbo.domain.Date) not found in class Class4
code:
SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);
// set up rules for daylight savings time
pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
// and the current date and time
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
Date trialTime = new Date();
calendar.setTime(trialTime);
(VO_ULNRow)singleRow = null;

singleRow = (VO_ULNRow)vo.next();
if(calendar.getTime() < singleRow.getEO_ULN_BORROWFROM()); //singleRow returns oracle.jbo.domain.Date
etcetera
how can i compare those 2?

Hi,
oracle.jbo.domain.Date has two methods which suit your needs
longValue() which returns a long (though I'm not sure if returns a long comparable to the long returned by java.util.Date)
and dateValue() which returns a java.util.Date
I hope it helps,
Giovanni

how can i compare those 2? You cannot compare these two values directly. You must convert the oracle.jbo.domain.Date object to a GregorianCalendar object. Something like:
oracle.jbo.domain.Date dt = singleRow.getEO_ULN_BORROWFROM();
GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(dt.getYear(), dt.getMonth(), dt.getDay());
if (calendar.getTime() < gc.getTime())
}

How to show chinese char form db in my jsp portlet?

How to show chinese char form db in my jsp portlet?
I had tried to set contentType in renderResponse, but itn't work ..

Bent,
You can access the database from your Java portlet, just like from any other Java/JSP environment. Yes, you can use JDBC, as well as BC4J.
The Discussion Forum portlet was built using BC4J, take a look at it's source to see how it was done.
Also, check out Re: BC4J Java portlet anyone?, it contains a lot of useful information too.

How can i compare the contents of two folders ?

how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!
B

I really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
Any bright ideas Apple?
