How to transform DOM into String

Hi,
Can any one provide an example of transforming DOM into String using TransformationFactory or any other API of JAXP?
Regards...
Shamit

And for finer output:
      * Prints a textual representation of a DOM object into a text string..
      * @param document DOM object to parse.
      * @return String representation of <i>document</i>.
    static public String toString(Document document) {
        String result = null;
        if (document != null) {
            StringWriter strWtr = new StringWriter();
            StreamResult strResult = new StreamResult(strWtr);
            TransformerFactory tfac = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            try {
                Transformer t = tfac.newTransformer();
                t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "iso-8859-1");
                t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
                t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml"); //xml, html, text
                t.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
                t.transform(new DOMSource(document.getDocumentElement()), strResult);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.err.println("XML.toString(Document): " + e);
            result = strResult.getWriter().toString();
        return result;
    }//toString()

How to convert Objext[] into String[] or any other object

Hi,
I've happened to come across a weird problem in java 1.6. I am sure it was alright before. Here is what I want to do and the result is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.String;
    Vector toVec = new Vector();
    StringTokenizer addrs = new StringTokenizer(addressesTo,";");
    while(addrs.hasMoreTokens()) {
        toVec.add(new String(addrs.nextToken()));
String[] to;
Object[] obj = toVec.toArray();
to = (String[])obj;
the tokenizer has at least 1 item. I am sure of it.
Can anybody explain this phenomena?
Thanks.

No, you did not use identical code before, or if you did, you got the same results.
String[] str[] = (String[])list.toArray(); // won't work, as toArray() returns Object[]
String[] str[] = (String[])list.toArray(new String[0]); // works, creates a new String[]
String[] str[] = (String[])list.toArray(newString[list.size()]); // works, returns a reference to the array created inline

How to convert BLOB into a String

Hi,

I want to convert two image files into strings and than to compare them. This is easy, but how to mention where the difference exist?

I have two image file in bmp file format. How to convert them into string and to check if they are differnt or same. If different how to mention or find that where the difference exists. This idea have to be extented with video application as well.

Hi,
if you have vision, you could use the functin IMAQ Image to Array to have a 2D array of the pixel values.
You can then compare pixel by pixel; if your images come from a camera, I would recommend to set a treshold of acceptance.
This is a time consuming solution anyway.
Alternative methods:
1) Make a subtraction of the two images, the resulting image will be the difference of them
2 ) Use IMAQ LogDiff function (operators palette)
3) Calculate the histogram of both image and compare the histogram reports
Good luck,
Alberto

Transform versions into masters

How to transform versions into masters ? is it using reprocess masters ? cos I select the image and press that n it stated nothing can be reprocess.
since i export the version the file size is too small compare to the masters one, could any one help me with this please
thxxx
Message was edited by: william7939

When you go to file>export, there are options to to choose any size and or quality you want. Master files can be exported by going to File in the top left, choose Export from the drop down list, then Master. From the next drop down, select were you want them to go. Then click Export Masters, in the bottom right corner. Done.
You do the same with versions but there are a lot of options for file size etc. Allan

How to convert xslt file into string

I don't understand why you need load the XML and XLS files into a String. A Transformer can be constructed from a Source and there is a StreamSouce which can be constructed from an InputStream. The transform() method can take a Source as input and can produce a Result. There is no need to go near a String representation of either the input.

How can I send multiple string commands into a VISA write?

Hi Fellow LabVIEW users
I am very new to LabVIEW (2.5 months) so please forgive me if my lingo is not up to par.
How can I send multiple string commands to a VISA write. For example each string command looks like this
1) 3A00 0000 0000 FFFF FFFF FFFF 0000 0000 FF00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0033 (Scenario 1)
2) 3A01 0000 0000 FFFF FFFF FFFF 0000 0000 FF00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0034 (Scenario 2)
3) 3A01 0000 0000 33FF FFFF FFFF 0000 0000 FF00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0067 (Scenario 3).
and so on and so forth. And there are a number of scenarios.
Each String scenario will give a different string output which will be interpreted differently in the front panel.
Right now I have to manually change the string commands on the front panel to give me the desired output. How can I do this without manually changing the commands i.e. hard coding each scenario into the block diagram?
Thanks, any feedback will help.

How do I copy the string portion of an enum into the string portion of a cluster?

I want to do this for the an entire array of clusters. I'm trying to use a for loop. Can't figure out how to parse the string portion of the enum into the string portion of the cluster.
Alternatively, I'd be happy if I could figure out some way to tie the enum to the array of clusters, but I figure that gets problematic.

OK, let's say that the enumerated type has N elements. I want to initialize an N element array of strings. How do I reference each string in the enumerated type to get to each string?
Easy way to do this is to use GetNumericInfo.vi, part of the Variant library, found in vi.lib\utility\VariantDataType\GetNumericInfo.vi. Wire your enumeration to the Variant input; one of the outputs is an array of the strings in the enumerated type.
The more complicated way is a for loop, in which you typecast the iterator terminal value to the enumerated type, then use Format Value. You can get the maximum value of the enumeration by casting 0 to the enumerated type, then decrementing; cast that back to a numeric and add one to get the right value to wire to the N terminal.
EDIT: just thought I'd add, since RavensFan's reply popped up while I was writing mine - I don't like the Strings[] approach because it doesn't work on RT targets, and I lost a lot of time once due to this trying to figure out why my code wouldn't run properly on an RT system but worked great on my development computer.

How to get an xml string into a Document w/o escaping mark-up characters?

Hi,
I am using one of the latest xerces using Java. I am pretty sure I am using xerces-2.
I have an existing Document and I am trying to add more content to it. The new content itself is xml string. I am trying to insert this xml string into the document using document.createTextNode. I am able to insert, but somewhere it is escaping the mark-up characters (<,>,etc). When I convert the document into String, I can see, for example, <userData> instead of <userData>.
There is an alternative option to accomplish this by creating a new document with this xml string, get the root element, import this element into my document. Execution time for this procedure is very high - means, this is very bad in terms of time-wise performance.
Can any help on how to accomplish this (bringing an xml string into a document without escaping mark-up characters) in time-efficient way.

So you want to treat the contents of the string as XML rather than as text? Then you have to parse it.
Or if your reason for asking is just that you don't like the look of escaped text, then use a CDATA section to contain the text.

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:
