How not to omit leading binary zeros with format into string

I'm using format into string to format serial data . The problem I'm having is that Format into String with "%b" format identifier omits leading zeros
in the string.. ie... "3" becomes "11" when I need it as "0011"

How do I copy a picture in PDF Format into Picasa

You can take a snapshot of the picture, which will put it on the clipboard, but I do not know how you will get it into Picassa without another program that can save in a graphics format. What OS are you using? Perhaps it offers a basic graphics program.

How can i get totals in columns with formated searches

How can i do this with SDK if it isn´t posible since formated searches

This is not possible with formated searches.
With SDK, depends on if it is Matrix or Grid, on if it is a system form/your own form. But basically, loop throw the form or datasource, and do the sumatory.

How to prevent action (lead selection change) with popup (confirmation)?

Hello all,
I have an application where I want the user to confirm when he selects a new line in a table. When the user selects a new line in the table an other used component reloads its data based on the new line selected. If the user has not pressed the save button before selecting a new line, any changes in the used component will be lost.
Currently I use onLeadSelect action on the table to call the load_data method(id=xxx) on the used component in order to display data relevant for id=xxx based the new line.
I can open a popup to confirm from the onLeadSelect-action or the WDDoBeforeAction, but the action still happens; it doesn't wait for the user to respond. And then any changes are lost...
I may have to store the parameters sent to the onLeadSelect method in context and continue when the button action from the pop-up returns via subscribed method, but I think this is an unelegant way of doing this.
There must be a better way...? Any ideas?
Regards,
Christian Frier

on the lead select event handler you can show the popup and no other logic. Move your logic to the ok and cancel button handlers of the pop up.

Issue in reading a binary file, with 'Flatten to String' data.

The reading of a string from a binary file stops at a NULL character (0x00). When the first character is 0x00, you are just reading the one character. I would suggest writing to a byte array since you are doing the inverting. And then you can read as a byte array.

After playing around a little more, I think I might have misinformed you a little. If you explicitly tell it a string, it looks for the string length at the very beginning and reads that length of bytes as a string. It appears that if you implicitly tell it to read a string (not wire the data type) it reads all of the bytes directly, including the length of string you wrote.
Regardless, my advice is the same. You should just write and read using byte array. It is less conversions if you are performing your "encryption".
EDIT: Here's a snippet of the VI I was playing with to figure this out.

How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

SAPSCRIPT - Symbol for removing leading spaces/zero's?

Hi,
How do you remove leading spaces/zeros in a variable that is sent from the print program?
Do you use symbols and if so, how (i've never worked with symbols, ever)?
Please help.
Thanks,

I think the "Z" symbol will remove the zeros in the sapscript form. For example,......

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.

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

Hi Knochenhort,
I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
Hope that helps!

Difficulty with Format Value for Time Format

I have a vi where the current time is split out of an Analog waveform (using Get Waveform Components), and subtracted from a starting time, to result in a relative time since the test began. This may not be the most elegant way of doing it, but it works great. The problem is that when I try to convert the elapsed time in seconds back to a time format for saving to a spreadsheet, I get the results shown by the probes. In case the screen capture is not clear enough, the format string is %<%H:%M:%S>t. A colleague has tried this format and it works great. He's running 8.2, and I'm running 7.1. Other than that, our applications appear identical. Any ideas?

I'm also on 8.2 and it works fine for me. Maybe format value couldn't handle time format codes in 7.1. I'm not really sure and I don't have it installed to check. Why don't you use "Format into String" instead? It will work the same way, and should work fine with 7.1.

Insert value with quotes into the table

Hi,
How can I insert a value along with quotes into a table column of type varchar.
Meaning..I want to insert the value 'TEST' including the single quotes.
Regards,
Murali Mohan

It only a matter of using the correct number of quotes. to insert 'TEST' you use 3 quotes on each end
example: '''TEST'''
