Is there an easy way to convert from a String with a comma, ie. 1,000.00 to a float or a double?
thanks,

Like DrClap said: DecimalFormat. However, make sure you understand the Locale things, as explained at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html (which refers to NumberFormat as well) and use them explicitly. Like
public class FormatTest
public static void main(String args[])
    try
      // see NumberFormat.getInstance()
      DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat();
      Number num = fmt.parse("1,000.01");
      System.out.println(num.doubleValue());
    catch(ParseException pe)
      System.out.println(pe);
}most likely seems OK on your system, but may print "1.0" (or even fail) on some non-English platforms!

Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.
For example:
from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)
to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters
          aaaaaaaa
          bbbbbbbb
          cccccccc
          dddddddd
Thank you.
Solved!

Try something like this:
(If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. )

Is there an easy way to convert and import MTS files from a external hardrive so that I can edit them in FCP?

I am trying to convert game footage that is in MTS format to something that I can edit into a quick highlights video. I have final cut express and the standard IMovie '09. looking for easiest solution, everything seems to involve using one application to convert to Quicktime and then dropping file into Iphoto etc. is there an easy way?

I'm not completely sure that MPEG Streamclip can convert AVCHD footage (.mts files). If MPEG Streamclip doesn't do the job, then get a copy of Clipwrap, which was designed for transcoding .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (that's the format/codec you need to convert the .mts files to for use in FCE).

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

I don't need the full package. Is there an easy way to change from the full to photographer's package?

I'm trying to save money and realize that I don't need the full package. I wanted to just change over to photographer's pack with just Lightroom and Photoshop but I seem to be missing the way to do that through my account. Is there an easier way?

Is there an easy way to switch from Entourage (MS Office email) to Apple email? The new MS Office does not support Entourage.

I am looking for a way to shift from Entourage (MS Office email) to the Apple system for email? The new MS Office does not support Entourage.

Philip if you can't find your answer in this forum try the Snow Leopard forum, Mail is considered part of OS X so you may have luck there.
Also you also may want ot be more specific when posting. I'm assuming because you only mention Mail all you are interested in is switching to Mail or did you have more in mind?

Is there an easier way to convert files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

I have many gb's of music in my Windows Media Player...now that I have an ipod I want to move the music over. Do I really have to do this one file at a time or is there away to move over whole albums at once? Is there a way to transfer the entire library at once? Do I have to reload ALL of those CD's? PLEASE HELP !!!!

Maybe you can help me out too. I have copied over 250 gigs of music in WAV loss less files to windows media player. On media player I see the artist, album etc. However, when I add the file, either as the song or whole album only the track number and song title copy to the itunes. How do I get all the other information like genre, album title, artist. If I convert to applelossless I still do not get anything and when I search AppleSTore for album art nothing happens. Please help.

I have lots of beta monkey drum loops in WAV format, is there an easy way to convert format for garageband use?

to convert all these files for garageband use (apple loops)

You will have to convert them to proper Apple Loops - add tags for key and tempo, category.
One way to do this would be to use GarageBand to add the wav files to the Loop Library one by one:
Find out the tempo and the key (if applicable) of one of your loops.
Set the key and tempo for your project.
Import a loop to a real instrument track and name the track, select the loop and use the command "Edit > Add to loop library". Set all the tags correctly, so the loopp will be properly indexed.
There used to be a SoundTrack Loop Utility, but I am not sure if it is still available somewhere. My old links don't work anymore.

Is there any easy way to upgrade from Logic Express?

I bought it last year because I couldn't afford the full version - then the full version was dropped to the same price and LE was discontinued. I'd love the security of having it attached to my Apple ID, and to upgrade now, but paying the same price again seems a bit much. Is there any way to upgrade?

You are not alone in your predicament since Apple broke up Logic Studio and discontinued LE.
If you want to make your next purchase via the App Store (which would be wise for future upgrades) I think you basically have two options:
1) Even though it would seem like you're buying Logic again for the same price that you paid for LE, you would be getting a lot more in the way of instruments, plug-ins, and loops. Sculpture, Space Designer, and all 6 Jam Packs for starters. Not to mention that you would then be set up for updates and upgrades. You may find this helpful in determining what you would be immediately gaining by buying Logic Pro 9:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
Even though the document shows Logic Studio, if you just eliminate Compressor, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, and Waveburner you can still clearly see what you'll be getting. If all this makes you drool you can get LP9 now or . . .
2) You could wait a bit longer and buy Logic Pro X, whenever that is released.

Is there an easy way to migrate from Outlook 2007 on the PC to Mac Mail?

Upgraded to a new Macbook Pro. I have a laptop with Office 2007 with Outlook 2007. What is the best way to migrate to the new Macbook Pro? Also, If I set up the cloud, will it sync with Mac Mail (Do I have to have an @ icloud.com email or can I use the email I registered with ICLOUD?)
Thanks for your help.

Create the zone, and migrate like a physical server -- but take care with your storage. You'll either have to add the devices into the zone's configuration or loopback mount them into the zone.
Either way works.

Is there an easier way to convert bytes into bit(boolean) arrays?

I am currently using this method to convert bytes into bit arrays:
/*convert byte to int such that it is between 0-255 this is the bytes[] array
                    if ((bytes/128)==1)
                         bit[c+0]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+0]=false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128)/64==1)
                         bit[c+1]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+1]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64)/32==1)
                         bit[c+2]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+2]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64-bitInt[c+2]*32)/16==1)
                         bit[c+3]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+3]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64-bitInt[c+2]*32-bitInt[c+3]*16)/8==1)
                         bit[c+4]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+4]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64-bitInt[c+2]*32-bitInt[c+3]*16-bitInt[c+4]*8)/4==1)
                         bit[c+5]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+5]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64-bitInt[c+2]*32-bitInt[c+3]*16-bitInt[c+4]*8-bitInt[c+5]*4)/2==1)
                         bit[c+6]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+6]= false;
                    if ((bytes[i]-bitInt[c+0]*128-bitInt[c+1]*64-bitInt[c+2]*32-bitInt[c+3]*16-bitInt[c+4]*8-bitInt[c+5]*4-bitInt[c+6]*2)==1)
                         bit[c+7]=true;
                    else
                         bit[c+7]= false;

You can loop through and use a bitwise operator instead. Here is an example without the loop.
byte b = 6 ;
if( b & Math.pow( 2, 0 ) == Math.pow( 2, 0 ) ) ;
// the 2^0 bit is on
if( b & Math.pow( 2, 1 ) == Math.pow( 2, 1 ) ) ;
// the 2^1 bit is onetc...
You should get something like 110 when you're done.
If you're wonder what & does (no, its not a boolean &&), it takes the bits in the two numbers you give it and returns a number with all the bits on that are on for each of them.
For example:
10011011 &
11001101 =
10001001
So if we take
110 (6) &
010 (2^1, or 2) =
010 (2 again)
Which means that the number (6) has the 2^1 bit on.

Is there an easier way to get tabular report results with select lists?

Ok, as a newbie, I have gotten this query to work in my report region but I figure if I am doing something this convoluted then I am not letting a wonderful feature of HTML DB do its job.
I have 3 select lists that I want to "AND" together to filter the result list. Two of the selected items to filter could have null values.
I want to have the entire results to appear when the list is reset (clear cache is working and sets each select list value to null). However, it appears to me, if one select list is used and the others are not, the other select lists by default have %null% (Null return value setting left blank) which isn't really null.
Well if that wasn't confusing so far. Here is the select:
select [my columns]
from my_table
where (instr(upper("COL1"),upper(
decode(:P1_FILTER_COL1,'%null%',"COL1",
null,"COL1",:P1_FILTER_COL1))) > 0 -- COL1 is mandatory
AND
(instr(upper("COL2"),upper(
decode(:P1_FILTER_COL2,'%null%',"COL2",
null,"COL2",:P1_FILTER_COL2))) > 0 OR "COL2" IS NULL)
AND
(instr(upper("COL3"),upper(
decode(:P1_FILTER_COL3,'%null%',"COL3",
null,"COL3",:P1_FILTER_COL3))) = 1 OR "COL3" IS NULL)
Do I have to use decode for the select values being reset, selected/not selected? Is there some way for the Null return value setting to really be null not %null%?
Thanks,
Kelly

Rather than creating your report directly from a SQL statement use the "Sql Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning Sql Query)" option and re-write your code in PL/SQL. PL/SQL gives you greater control and allows you to test the "null" values and add where clauses to your SQL query based on whether or not a value was selected in the SELECT list.
For example, I have a report parameter screen that has a state drop down list that returns a value of -1 if no state is selected. I can, therefore, code:
IF :P6_STATE_CODE != -1 THEN
query := query + " WHERE state_code = ' ||
:P6_STATE_CODE ;
END IF ;
I have a more complete example if you would like to send me an email ([email protected])

Easier way to convert array to cluster with named variables?

I have an array of variables, I would like to essentially unbundle that array to named variables.
I believe the only way of doing this is by converting the array to cluster (besides removing each element one by one)?
Is what I have done below the best way of doing it? seems a bit weird having to unbundle and rebundle by name.
comments appreciated.

Your problem code is actually right before the red square. Instead of the "array-to-cluster-unbudle dance", you should simply use a plain index array resized for the same number of outputs. same functionality, less convoluted.
Your wiring is a bit of a mess and it is hard to tell if the order of elements in the array is the same as in the cluster. Maybe a simple typecast to the cluster would work.

Is there an easy way to start the new year with an empty mailbox?

I would like to move my 10,000 emails to another folder or mailbox to still be able to search if I need some info... but I would rather not use any space on my macbook pro? I tried to set up a new folder but that will reside on my computer. My new years resolution is to deal with my email on a daily basis and move, file or delete it as I go this year... but I need to start fresh! Thanks for help!

but I would rather not use any space on my macbook pro?
Do a Google search for email storage facilities and check with your isp to see if they offer free storage.
