Is it possible to convert a string (eg. 2140) into time in flex?

Hi.
I have a form where the user inputs the time into a text input...I want to take that and convert it to time/date...is that possible?

Hi,
Did you mean convert "2140" to "21:40"? You can write your own parser/formatter, that takes the string, analyzes it, and puts a colon ":" in appropriate place. Or alternatively you can check this post http://scottrbailey.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/parsing-dates-flex-as3/ . Try the parseTime function, it seems to do exactly what you want.

  • Converting a string of numbers into an array of booleans

    For a homework assignment, I need to convert a string of numbers into an array of booleans.  The string is a bunch of random numbers (0-9) in sequence, with no spaces.  It looks something like this: 0123452348949230740329817438120947392147809231419.  I need to make it so that each even number represents a "True" boolean and so that each odd number represents a "False" boolean.  I think that I first need to convert each element of the string into a number, and then use a case structure (or something) to say, for each element of the array, "If even, then true.  If odd, then false," but I could be wrong.  Any suggestions?

    Sounds reasonable.  Think about the definition of "odd" and "even" and it will make life a lot easier. 
    I know you are trying to be vague but I'd like to give a key hint.  Use the Quotient and Remainder function.
    LOL maybe that was one of the objectives of the homework. 
    To be fair it sounds like there is more work that is needed.  A new user of LabVIEW will have a hard time figuring out how to process each character one at a time when it isn't in an array.  
    It's just that most people (me at least) stopped thinking about division with quotient and remainder after basic algebra.  I then of course changed my way of thinking when I used LabVIEW.  Still most of the time when you use division you want to know the fractional part as a decimal.  Thinking this way makes the problem more difficult then it needs to be.

  • Is it possible to convert from string to variant?

    Hi!
    I would like to convert a text string to variant. I'm doing this because I would like to merge a couple of signals and then save all the signals in a lvm-file. Could someone please explain how to convert from text to variant, is it possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    What you are attempting to do is possible, but might not give you the results you expect.  All you need to do is convert your string to an array of U8s using the String to Byte Array conversion primitive.  In the file, you will get a single character per line of the file expressed as the ASCII code.  When you read it, convert to U8s, then use Byte Array to String to get your string back.
    You may also want to read up on LVM files.  There are several places to put strings that work a little better than this.

  • Problem in converting the String to Date with time zone GMT

    Hi,
    When I tried to convert the string 12/05/2009 to Date, the time zone is set to BST.On the other hand, for the date 12/12/2009, the time zone is set to GMT. What should I do to get the time zone as GMT all the time.?
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    String dateString = "12/05/2009";
    System.out.println(myDate.toString());

    I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
    So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
    The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.

  • Unicode: Is it Possible to convert a string, or text, for Output?

    Can you take a string (or text) in Unicode (4 bytes each character),  and by using its string (or text), as input it to a Function Module, or Method, have the string's hex values converted into the old non-unicode value (2 bytes each character) to send to an external system?   
    I wish it were this easy, but am finding out it is not. Seems like whenever I run  a process to convert a field (4 bytes) in the new unicode system, to old non-unicode (2 bytes each), and move it back into a field in the unicode system, it automatically  converts it back to 4 bytes automatically?
    It is causing issues on the external tergat system that is not using unicode.
         Thank-You.

    Not that I know of. But you could convert your text to RAW or XSTRING, and send that value to the external system.

  • I need help to convert a string to date and time

    Good aft,
    1.How can i get a date from the user input thro' Frames?
    2.How to parse it to the date object(I need to include java.util.Date but for the database i need to include java.sql.*,if i do so, i have error as
    found:java.util.Date
    Required:java.sql.Date)
    3.How to insert into the database
    The same i need help to insert time into database?
    I need solution and explanation...
    Reply me immediately...
    If u send me the code, its better to me.

    Hello,
    The best way is to use the HEX to decimal coversion VI in the string pallette. Then, write this decimal directly to your chart. If you are doing it a point at a time put it into a while loop.

  • Single string tag expanded into 100 plc register values

    I found a way to read 100 registers of plc data with a single string tag, if you can guarantee that none of the plc registers are zero. A register value of zero acts like a Null ascii terminator and truncates the string. Define the string tag as 200 bytes and uncheck the text data only box. Use the code in the attached picture to convert the string bytes back into decimal register values.

    I realize English is probably not your first language, but you are not really making sense. Perhaps you could use more words and write in more detail.
    It seems you already have your script in AppleScript. Why do you need to convert it to JavaScript?
    It's going to be inconvenient at best and probably not worth anyone's time.
    Just use the AppleScript.

    I am asking because I have a Development environment that is 12c, but a Production environment that is 11g and I am not sure we will be able to upgrade the Production environment
    Thanks in advance..

    It's possible but not an easy task. As 12c uses newer stuff you have to test everything with great care. You might find some things you have to rebuild add they won't work in 11.1.2.4.0 (e.g. components which are only available in 12c. If you read the what's new doc for 12c and you find something you have used, prepare to rebuild this part.
    First thing to try ids to open the project in 11.1.2.4.0 and see if you can compile and run the app.
