InsertListItem() works slower if the number of lines increase

Hello,
i am using a listbox to trace can/lin messages. I think that it is better to work with a textbox, but first i want to look, if there is a possibility to make the ui update faster. The item label is used to show the important data, the item value contains detailed information in a string.
Is it possible to grab the raw data of a listbox or to insert more than one item (label+value) without an ui update?
Is it possible to mark a row in a textbox like in a listbox? I need this option, to show detailed informations of a marked listbox entry a in second textbox.
Best regards,
Vitali

Let's start from the second question. A row in a textbox cannot be "marked": you can detect which row the cursor is on by using ATTR_TEXT_SELECTION_START control attribute (but you will have to handle the case when the user selects more lines) and you can replace it prepending for example an asterisk (remember to delete it when you don't need it anymore).
On the listbox size, I suppose some improvement can be obtained by hiding the control while updating (be sure the listbox is not the active control and no screen refresh happens so that you don't see flickering).
Regarding the performance, while the text (item label) is always on screen you may consider that additional informations are not so crucial to maintain them inside the control all the time. That is, you could use the item value as the index into an in-memory object or a disk file where additional informations are stored: you can retrieve and display one single element when the user asks for it, leaving the control with a reduced amount of informations stored in it. It seems to me that this could make the control lighter and possibly reduce the slowering effect you are seeing now.

How to get the number of lines of a FileReader

I need to calculate the number of lines of a FileReader object. How can I do that ?

I wrote the following some while ago. It assumes that a line is terminated by '\n' but it should be easy to adapt.
import java.io.*;
public class LineCounter
    public static int countLines(File file, String encoding) throws IOException
        int lineCount = 0;
        Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), encoding);
        char[] buffer = new char[4096];
        for (int charsRead = 0; (charsRead = reader.read(buffer)) >= 0;)
            for (int charIndex = 0; charIndex < charsRead ; charIndex++)
                if (buffer[charIndex] == '\n')
                    lineCount++;
        reader.close();
        return lineCount;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        try
            File file = new File("/home/sabre/work/dev/maps/EUROPE.RIV");
            long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            int lineCount = countLines(file, "UTF-8");
            double time = (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) / 1000.0;
            System.out.println("File size = " + file.length() + " contains " + lineCount + " lines taking " + time);
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();

Increasing the number of line items in PO

hello fellow abapers,
i have a query. i dont know if its the headache of the function ppl or the technicial person - which happens to be me - but i have to get this solved at the earliest.
now ive made a PO for materials from the scratch and everythin is workin fine. except that out of the blue comes a PO with over 10000 line items. yes, thats right - 10,000 line items.
so obviously an error was thrown by SAP. unfortunately the end-user did not think it necessary to take a printout or record the error message.
anyways the error said something to the effect that it did not allow so many line items or somthing like that.
now can anybody pls help me out with this. firstly is dhere any restrictions on the number of line items, and secondly, if thats the case how do i find a work-around.
thanx a bunch

Determine the number of lines of textfield or floating field

Hi,
Is there a way to determine the number of lines of text in a textfield or in a floatingfield.
My problem is that I'm creating a form with three tables(made of subforms) underneed each other that needs to be set to hidden when the total of rows is greater than 25.
Now it would be easy to just count the rows but these rows can exist of multiple lines of text.
The fields of my row are floating fields so when the text is bigger than the displayable width the text continous on a new line in the same row. So I need to know when this happens because now I can show only 24 rows.
I tried counting the characters but this doesn't work, when there are a lot of 'i,j,l' or other small characters I can place 40 characters in my textfield, but when there are a lot of 'm,w' characters I can place only 22 characters in my field.
I also tried to use xfa.layout.h(TextField1,"cm") to determine the height of the field, but it always retuns the value -1. I get the same -1 with the y or x - position.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
RonnyR

oops ... i got it thanks.
code below -----
for(var i=0; i <= s.length-1; i++)
sCurrentLetter = s.substring(i,i+1);
if (s.charCodeAt(i) == 13)
// this is a line break

Set the number of lines allowed in multi-line text field

Hi,
I am designing a form where I have some multi-line text fields where I only want the user to be able to enter a maximum of say 5 lines. I know I could do this by enabling the "Limit Length to Visible Area" option, however, this option is ignored by Reader 7 and the field scrolls, hiding any text that spills beyond the visible area from printouts. It works great in 8 though. To avoid this bug/feature in Reader 7, is there some script that I can use to limit the number of lines allowed in a text field?
Thanks

I ran into similar issues switching between Acrobat/Reader. Here is the prominent code that works for me when I use this in "Enter" event of the textField.
var aSOM=this.somExpression.substr(15,this.somExpression.length - 1);
var acroField = event.target.getField(aSOM);
acroField.doNotScroll = true;
I chose Allow Multiple Lines alone and noting else.
Good Luck,

How do you find the number of lines in a file?

I need to count how many lines there are in a file, I am using a BufferedReader to read in the data, but how can I find the number of lines?

That depends. How do you define a line? Is it a specific number of
characters, a String that's terminated by a newline character or some
combination thereof?

If you are taking about an interface on a website, this is up to the ui designer. But there is a reflow that depends on screensize for the Firefox UI.

How can i know the number of lines in field-symbol internal table

how can i know the number of lines in field-symbol internal table

Hi,
If your field symbol has been defined as an internal table :
Use std describe as
Data: l type i.
describe <fs> lines l.
'l' will contain the number of lines as needed.
FYI
The size of this storage area in a field symbols depends on the number of table lines which is not fixed, but determined dynamically at runtime.

Count the number of lines in a txt file

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file, but I can't do it using readLine(). This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns null even if it is not the end of the file. thanks for the help

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file,
but I can't do it using readLine(). Then just compare each single byte or char to the newline (code 10).
This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns
null even if it is not the end of the file.Errm what? What do you mean by "double spaced"? Method readLine() should only return null if there's nothing more to read.

Count the number of lines in each file in a directory

Hello,
I would like to count the number of lines for each file in my directory and subdirectories.
I wonder how can I count the lines of the specified files?
Here is the program which is listed the files in the specified directory:
                    String path = "C:/User/Studies/Pracices/src/Pract1";
       String files;
       File folder = new File(path);
       File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
       for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++)
        if (listOfFiles.isFile())
     files = listOfFiles[i].getName();
     System.out.println(files);

Ok so one more question.
Actually my path is pointing to one Directory and like here I can just read from one file that the name of the file should be specified in the path is it possible to help me in that part?
File f = new File("C:/User/Studies/Practices/src/Pract1/");
FileReader fr = new FileReader(f);
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
      String str = br.readLine();
          LineNumberReader ln = new LineNumberReader(br);
          int count = 0;
          while (ln.readLine()!=null)
              count++;
          System.out.println("no. of lines in the file = " + count);

Counting the number of lines for each procedure in a package

Hi,
I would like to write a query on USER_SOURCE that can display the number of code lines for each procedure/function in a package.
Is it possible to write such a query? Maybe by using analytical functions?
for example in the following example i would like to count the lines between "PROCEDURE proc1 IS" and "END proc1;" and between "PROCEDURE proc2 IS" and "END proc2;"
SQL> select text from user_source where name='PKG_TEST' and type='PACKAGE BODY';
TEXT
PACKAGE BODY PKG_TEST IS
PROCEDURE proc1 IS
BEGIN
    update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc1;
PROCEDURE proc2 IS
BEGIN
   update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc2;
END PKG_TEST;thanks for helping

Hopefully some idiot manager isn't trying to use this sort of thing to base their decisions on developer productivity. If so, they ARE idiots. Number of code lines NEVER, EVER, EVER!!! translates into an efficient application. If I were paid by the line, my code would look like:

Based on the idiocy of this method of determining "performance" I would get paid $5.00 at $1.00/line. And trust me, I saw this back in the 80's and 90's and saw similar idiotic code and had to clean up the mess. Most of it wasn't efficient code to start with let alone the number of lines generated.Or the other extreme, when the PHB firmly believed that execution efficiency was gained by reducing the number of lines of code. So instead of nicely formatted, easy to read code:
      *GET NEXT ORDER NUMBER
            EXEC SQL
                 SELECT (MAX(ORDER_NUM) + 1)
                 INTO   :NEXT-NUM:IND-NULL
                 FROM   PART_ORDER
            END-EXEC.
            IF IND-NULL < 0
              MOVE 1 TO NEXT-NUM.
            EXEC SQL
                 INSERT
                 INTO    PART_ORDER
                        (ORDER_NUM,
                         ORIGIN_LOC,
                         ORDER_TYPE,
                         ORDER_STAT,
                         CREAT_TIME)
                 VALUES (:NEXT-NUM,
                         :LOC, 'R', 'O',
                         CURRENT TIMESTAMP)
               END-EXEC.
            MOVE NEXT-NUM TO MASK0.
            PERFORM HEADER-PROC THRU HEADER-EXIT.
        CREATE-ORDER-EXIT. EXIT.                                                     You got this:
       *GET NEXT ORDER NUMBER
        EXEC SQL SELECT (MAX(ORDER_NUM) + 1) INTO :NEXT-NUM:IND-NULL FROM
        PART_ORDER END-EXEC. IF IND-NULL < 0 MOVE 1 TO NEXT-NUM. EXEC SQL INSERT

        CREATE-ORDER-EXIT. EXIT.                 Oh, wait! See the same thing all the time in this forum ... not because someone thinks fewer lines = faster code, but simply because people are sloppy.
INSERT INTO PART_ORDER(ORDER_NUM,ORIGIN_LOC,ORDER_TYPE,ORDER_STAT,CREAT_TIME) VALUES (:NEXT-NUM,:LOC, 'R', 'O',CURRENT TIMESTAMP) ;

InsertListItem() works slower if the number of lines increase
