Need a little help converting String to date

been struggling with different variations of this after searching these forums for a while but here it is:
I have saved in a database, the date in String format created from this code:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
java.util.Date date = cal.getTime();
long time = date.getTime();
String today = String.valueOf(time);
The variable "today" is what I save in the DB table
Now, I want to retrieve the String and it comes in like this for example:
'1061438833530'
Now I need to convert this into:
'August 21, 2003 12:08 AM'
I have been struggling with the SimpleDateFormat object but I either get a "Unparseable date" error or it just doesn't like the data type I'm using.
any help is greatly appreciated...thanks in advance,
Chuck

Date d = new Date(1061438833530L);
System.out.println(d);
But you probably aren't storing the date in the DB as a long. It's probably a timestamp or some kind of date. Use
rs.getDate()
or
rs.getTimestamp()

Need info on SimpleDateFormat, Converting String to Date

I'm a newbie and doing a conversion of a string to a date and it's adding a little less than 11 minutes. I know I'm missing something really simple but as I read it I ought to be able to convert "20030125 084539.637696" to Sat Jan 25 08:45:39 not 8:56! Also, for the time being I'm ignoring the zulu 'Z' because I can't find a pattern that'll take it.
System.out.println("INFO:MetadataExtractorBean::filestarttime:" + filestarttime);
filestarttime = filestarttime.replace("Z","");
System.out.println("after filestarttime.replace(Z,null) filestarttime:" + filestarttime);
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd hhmmss.SSSSSS");
Date convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(filestarttime);
System.out.println("after dateFormat.parse(filestarttime) convertedDate:" + convertedDate);
INFO:MetadataExtractorBean::filestarttime:20030125 084539.637696Z
after filestarttime.replace(Z,null) filestarttime:20030125 084539.637696
after dateFormat.parse(filestarttime) convertedDate:Sat Jan 25 08:56:16 EST 2003
Can someone help me with a) why it doesn't remain 8:45, and b) how to modify the pattern to be able to parse a zulu date. Thanks in advance.

import java.text.*;
public class ParsingExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String s = "20030125 084539.637";
        SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd HHmmss.SSS");
        System.out.println(f.parse(s));
}Your round up was because ".637696" was taken to mean 637,696 milliseconds. SimpleDateFormat doesn't have a way to accept microseconds, and anyway, java.util.Date only has millisecond precision. I also changed "hh" to "HH" because I assume this is with a 24 hour clock.
edit: you can tell your date format not to do these roll ups by setting:
f.setLenient(false);

Need a little help with strings

So I would like to have the user input a month by using the abbreviation ex. (mar or apr) instead. So I want month to be a string right? When I tried that I get an error. What should this look like?
import java.util.*;
public class MonthSwitch
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args)
    int month;
    System.out.print("Enter a Month: ex. Jan, Feb, Mar ect...");
    month = console.nextInt();
    System.out.println();
    switch (month)
      case 1: System.out.println("First Quarter");
      case 2: System.out.println("First Quarter");
      case 3: System.out.println("First Quarter");
              break;
      case 4: System.out.println("Second Quarter");
      case 5: System.out.println("Second Quarter");
      case 6: System.out.println("Second Quarter");
              break;
      case 7: System.out.println("Third Quarter");
      case 8: System.out.println("Third Quarter");
      case 9: System.out.println("Third Quarter");

If you use an enum construct, then you can create a switch that operates on the abbreviated month value. Note that I made a correction in the Scanner input code, and converted the input to lowercase (to assure a match with the enum) in case capitals were used. The switch was revised to work correctly with enums, which requires the try/catch to catch illegal input.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Xy
    static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
    enum Month
        jan, feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep, oct, nov, dec
    public static void main(String[] args)
        System.out.print("Enter a Month: ex. Jan, Feb, Mar etc...");
        String shortMonth = console.next().toLowerCase();
        System.out.println();
        try
            switch (Month.valueOf(shortMonth))
                case jan:
                case feb:
                case mar:
                    System.out.println("First Quarter");
                    break;
                case apr:
                case may:
                case jun:
                    System.out.println("Second Quarter");
                    break;
                case jul:
                case aug:
                case sep:
                    System.out.println("Third Quarter");
                    break;
                case oct:
                case nov:
                case dec:
                    System.out.println("Fouth Quarter");
        catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
            System.out.println("Sorry, input is invalid");

Need a little help new to mac

Need a little help I'm new to Mac.. i have had my ibook for over a year now and i like it a lot, but some times my usb post dies on my for a couple days maybe weeks. Ill have my ipod connected and when i go to plug in a flash drive. It doesn't detect my ipod anymore and my usb port don't work. it says that they were "removed improperly" and now they are not working again..i have tried to reinstall the whole os again and that doesn't work i don't have the hardware test disk so i don't know what could be the problem i know its not the logic board is there any test i can do to it to find out the problem its an ibook late 2001... there is no reset button on it. i tried to hold in the space bar and now when i boot up i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up im a mess need some help

+it says that they were "removed improperly"+
You have to go to the iPod's icon on your computer (or the flash drive's icon), select it and eject it there before removing it. Otherwise, data can be corrupted and/or lost. Repeatedly removing it without ejecting it from the desktop can cause it not to be recognized any longer.
If your iBook is a "late 2001" model. It should have a reset button. Check out the chart here to make sure which model iBook you have:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
+i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up+
It's trying to find a network volume from which to boot.
Once it's booted up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your Mac OS X startup volume. Then close System Preferences. The next time you start up, it should start up without looking for a network volume.

Quality Playback-.need a little help

Quality Playback….need a little help
I’ve posted in the Premiere forums too, because I’m not sure where my issue is in converting .MOD files, the export of edited footage from Preimere Pro CS4 or if it’s in Encore.
The quality just does not seem that good, I know it’s not HD quality, but it should be better than what I have. Seems over pixilated especially around objects.
Here’s my steps
Convert .MOD files using Mpeg Streamclip to a .DV file format
Settings Compression DV (DV25)
Standard NTSC 720 x 480 29.97 fps
Aspect 16:0
Everything else is default
Import to Premiere Pro CS5
Edit footage
Export to quicktime .mov file
NTSC DV Widescreen
720 x 480 quality 100%
codec is DV25 NTSC
Import .mov files to Encore CS5
Build menus and playlists
Export with default settings approximately 1hr 45min of edited video
Thanks
MAB

Bill
Thanks for your help and patience.
I posted a screen shot of the mov export settings I was using. I’m going to try Ann’s conversion method on the mod files to see if that improves things.
You asked about the Encore transcoding, what do you mean by that, are there other settings in Encore that I need to set?
I have an 1hour 45 min of video in my Encore project, burning to a 4.7 DVD. Encore says it’s using 3.3bg, which seems low.

Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

Hi,
I have a parameter used to select a month and year string that looks like:    jun-2013
I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is, when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
I populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is) I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year 2 months ahead.    So if the user selects
jun-2013   textbox A will show jun-2013
and textbox B will show aug-2013..
I have tried:
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM-YYYY" )+ 2 )   -- But this gives an error
This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM" )+ 2 )
What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format = "aug-2013" ???
Thanks in advance.

You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1254.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
In your case, the code would be something like:
var sDate = "2013-01-10";
// Convert string to date
var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
// Convert date to new string
var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
// Set a field value
getField("date2").value = sDate2;
The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.

Greetings, I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wirele...

Greetings,
I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wireless Router, and it worked well for years with my Alcatel DSL Modem (Bellsouth/ATT). The modem went out and it was replaced with Westell Modem. When I bypass the router I have no problem connecting to the Internet, however when I connect the router--no connection. I thought it would not be a problem swapping the modem out. I am running XP with Norton Internet Security and Anti-virus. I have disabled Norton and do not believe that to be the problem. Do I have to reconfigure the router? If so, can I do it with the original install CD? (I am disabled and the original CD/instructions/box is in the attic and I cannot get it easily.) I have read several different threads, but they do not specifically address my problem. Any assistance is appreciated. Eddy

Many Westell modems are actually "modem-routers" and they use the same 192.168.1.1 address space as your WRT54G. This is the root of your problems.
Try the settings at this URL.
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323
Note that the "WAN" port on the BEFSR41 in the example is the same as the "Internet" port on your WRT54G.
Please let me know whether or not this worked for you.

Need a little help with dial setup on CME

I've got a CME I'm using for testing and I think I need a little help figuring out the proper config to get the system to accept numbers I dial and have those numbers be passed on to an Avaya system (including the leading 9 for ARS in Avaya) via H.323 IP trunks.   I have it working well for internal 5 digit extension calls across the H.323 trunks and I also have it working well for some types of outside calls that gets passed on to the Avaya and then the Avaya dials the call out to the PSTN.   My only real problem is, I can't figure out how to correctly configure CME to examine the digits I'm dialing and only send the digits once I'm finished dialing....not as soon as it sees an initial match.
What's happening is this. I can dial local numbers in my area as 7 digits or 10 digits. The phone company doesn't yet force us to dial area code and number for local calls (10 digits). I can still dial 7 digits.   But...if I put an entry in CME that looks like this....
(by the way, the 192.168.1.1 IP is not the real IP address, that's just an example, but the rest of this entry is what I really have entered in CME)
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...Then it will always try to dial out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dial (9 plus the 7 digit number I called)...even though I have a speicifc entry in the system that accounts for calls to 9 plus area code 513. I would have assumed that if I put the specific entry in for 9513....... it would see that and wait to see if I was actually dialing something to match 9513....... instead of 9.......   Understand what I mean?   Because 9513....... is more specific than 9....... but it still tries to send the call out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dialed.
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...BUT...here's the interesting thing. If I trace the 10 digit call in Avaya, I see that the number being presented to the Avaya PBX is only the first 7 digits of the number....not the full 10 digits...BUT I see a few more of the digits I dialed (like the 8th and 9th digits) after the call is already setup and sent to the PSTN. It's like the CME is trying to send the rest of the 10 digits I dialed, but at that point it's already too late.   It setup the call as a 7 digit call (9 plus 7 digits), not 10 digit like I wanted.
I'm more familiar with how to setup dialing in the Avaya via ARS. My background is Avaya, not Cisco, so this dial-peer config is a little difficult for me until I understand the reasoning of how it examines the numbers and what I should do to make it wait for me to finish dialing....or to tell the system that what I'm dialing will be a minimum or a certain amount of digits and maximum of a certain amount of digits, like the Avaya does. I just need some pointers and examples to look at :-)   I think I've almost got it....but I'm just missing something at the moment.
Just so you understand, the call flow should be like this: Cisco phone registered to CME > CME to Avaya via H.323 trunks > Avaya to PSTN via ISDN PRI trunks connected to Avaya. I have to be sure I send the 9 to the Avaya also, because 9 triggers ARS in the Avaya.
Thanks for your help

Here is a good document that explains how dial-peers are matched in the Cisco world:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a008010fed1.shtml#topic7
In your case, it is variable length dial plan you are trying to implenent. To fix it, you need to add a T to force the system to wait for more digits to be entered if there is any.
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......T
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
You can also configure the inter-digits timeout using the command timeouts interdigit under telephony-service.

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.

The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)

Need a little help please Airport Express

Need a little help please.
I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
Any help would be appreciated…
Thanks
In advance…
PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

Your connection sequence would look like this:
Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.

I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

I need a little help

hi i need a little help making a java applet rpg with log-in, chat, etc. and i dont really know to much about it and dont understand applet programming too much. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. Also, since i am fairly decent at making/improving websites, if you help me i could make a website for you or improve one you already have. You can email me if you want to help at "[email protected]"

Don't just give up. Like I said, start small.
I've never heard of any pre-made RPG java classes.
Why don't you poke around on SourceForge or some java-centric project site or one of the java gaming sites. Maybe someone has written all these libraries already, although you may have trouble using these classes if you're not familiar with programming in general and java in particular. Or do a Google search.
But using a specialized API is a lot easier if you know how to use the general API (i.e., j2se).
Another option of course is not to use java at all. Many commercial games come with an editor; you may find it easier to get one of those and do a mod.

User enters the paremter for the year, need help converting that to date

Hello!
I have a report that asks for the user what data they want to see based on the year. They will then enter 2007 for example. My problem is that when I use that parameter in the where clause I get an error -
ORA-01722 Invalid Number
Here is the line of code -
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR (TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') ) = (TO_CHAR(:p_year,'YYYY')))
The :p_year is what I am referring to, I know if I hard code 2007 in there it works just fine. I've tired converting it to a char, converting it to a date, and even converting to a date and back to a char, but it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

It all depends whether your input parameter is NUMBER, CHAR, DATE or SOMETHING_ELSE.
a) NUMBER
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TO_CHAR(:p_year,'FM9999')
         )b)STRING
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TRIM(:p_year)
         )c) DATE assumption then is 01.01. of this year)
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        trunc(req.open_date,'year') = :p_year
         )d) something else - like not a bind variable but literal or script parameter
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
          (req.open_date >= to_date('01/01/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy') AND
           req.open_date < to_date('31/12/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy')+1
