Number to date and date to number??

select substr(to_char((to_date('1970-01-01 03:00:00','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')+TIMESTAMP/86400000),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),1,19) from table where rownum<2;
Result :2006-10-03 19:25:07
but without conversion
select timestamp from table where rownum<2;
Result:1159892707453
Suppose i have value as date like 2006-10-03 19:25:07
I need to convert to number 1159892707453
Please note I have used standard webmethod conversion for number to date, But my developer who want know the conversion of date format to number format as mentioned above.
could you help on this
Thanks

For the number to date conversion you may find the following helpful. It works with daylight savings also - not sure if it is an issue for your region. You can get the timezone names from V$TIMEZONE_NAMES;
SQL> SELECT
CAST((TIMESTAMP '1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT' + NUMTODSINTERVAL(1159892707453/1000, 'SECOND')) AT TIME ZONE 'Indian/Mayotte' AS DATE) ora_dt
FROM dual
ORA_DT
2006-10-03 19:25:07

Hi rhiesnand,
right now you add 2 new rows to your array.
The solution is to concatenate both row parts to one bigger 1D array before adding that array as new row to your 2D array!

Not able to convert string attribute to number and date please help me out

not able to convert string attribute to number and date attribute. While using string to date conversion it shows result as failure.As I am reading from a text file. please help me out

Hi,
You need to provide an example value that's failing and the date formats in the reference data you're using. It's more than likely you don't have the correct format in your ref data.

Although my ipod shows the number of steps, calories, and time, it no longer is saving it to the history. also when I open the history it takes me to May 2010 instead of the current date. Any ideas on how to get it to start recording the history again?

How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

Hi everyone,
Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although date and time are written correctly in the column...)
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
regards,
Marc

hi there,
excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).

CL(A)Dly bending G-Force with LabVIEW
famous last words: "oh my god, it is full of stars!"

How can I have a program prompt a user to input a selected number of simultaneous (different devices run off com/rs232 ports) and be able to compile all the data and/or graph it simultaneously?

I have a project that I'm working on that I could use some help on.
Some background on it is I'm taking data from a balance via RS-232 (can be a selectable list of balances), and then communicating with them on their own separate COM port. I need these to then run in parallel to then take masses in regular increments and then output them to a graph and/or TDMS file.
What I'm trying to have is that a subVI prompts the user to how many simultaneous runs will be going.
Then I will want multiple pop prompts (one for each simultaneous run) which will have initial data input (data cluster) and then associate these with the COM port and the specified balance.
I initially thought of utilizing a For Loop this way but I can't get these windows to pop up multiple times while storing their own values in say a cluster array. Can anyone give me any ideas to get me a little further?

Cameron,
I've created a prompt for the user to select the number or runs to be run simultaneously.
This then should trigger the amount of prompts the user needs to input - ie VISA resource, and headers to label the "samples".
I want this to be done in multiples (somewhere around 1-10 simultaneous runs - bounded by the program) so that data points from multiple sources can be taken and graphed/saved to file. I just am having issues with the loop situation to be able to keep prompting the user X times and also output the data to the front panel. Originally i thought I could somehow manipulate a tab control container but I'm getting roadblocked.
Does that help you understand what I'm trying to do?
I've attached an image of what I want the user to input for each sampling.

Get number of month, week and date between 2 dates

Hi all,
Is it possible to display number of month, week and days between 2 dates? either by using only SQL query or through PL/SQL...
Input:
From date: 01-Oct-2010
To date: 19-Oct-2010
I want output as below (Assuming the week starts from Monday to Sunday in oracle).
01-Oct-2010 -- (Since this is in mid of the week)
02-Oct-2010 -- (Since this is in mid of the week)
03-Oct-2010 -- (Since this is in mid of the week)
40 -- (Oct 4 to Oct 10 falls in 40th week of the year)
41 -- (Oct 11 to Oct 17 falls in 41th week of the year)
18-Oct-2010 -- (Since this is in mid of the week)
19-Oct-2010 -- (Since this is in mid of the week)
Note: If there is one full month between the given date, then the month number should be displayed.
After the month, the remaining date comprised with one full week, then the week number of the year should
be displayed. After displaying the week, the remaining dates should be displayed as it is..
Appreciate your help..
Thanks.
Rajan.

I suppose if it's just like a calendar type information you want then something like...

SQL> set linesize 200
SQL> set pagesize 2000
SQL> column month format a20
SQL> column week format a4

On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

Have you been successful porting your number and keeping unlimited data?

Hi , I am trying to save money by getting rid of my texting plan($20) and having Google Voice as my SMS provider. I want to keep my number so I will port my number to GV. For a 1-time fee of $20. The Problem is that during the process some people lose their UNLIMITED DATA package. I, of course don't want this to happen. I have searched the interwebs and found that this forum had the good information on it.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/779321?start=0&tstart=0
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/779321?start=80&tstart=0
See post # 3 and # 85 for detailed instructions. I was in the process of doing it but Google Wallet denied my transaction because I needed to verify my account. This process takes 3 days. So I will wait and try again. I would like to know if the rest of the verizon community has been succesful or has regretted doing this.
I feel that this process should work and would like to keep this discussion open so other people can do the same. We all know sms and voice mins are cheap and carriers are just milking money from data plans.
PS. I felt # 85 was really straight forward
Joined the community to thank the OP - and to add in another success story. Before I start my 'experience share', I think its pertinent to mention that I have the Galaxy S4 [Android]
Started the GV Port on Monday at about 3PM. Provided GV with personal details, phone number, billing PIN (you can set one up or change your current PIN on the VZW website after logging on to your account) and my account number (excluded the -00001 after my account number as suggested by other posters on this thread). Google charged me $20 to complete the port.
On Tuesday morning, approximately at about 11AM, I logged into my VZW account and requested a new number (VZW's website states that this process is free if done online). At this time, my GV Port status showed "Number Change Pending". Once the new number was assigned to me by VZW (the number is issued instantly), I had to turn my phone off and wait a few minutes before turning it back on. When I turned my phone back on, it showed that the new number was active (no VZW notifications - just tried a test call from my landline).
Almost 24 Hours down to the minute (so at about 3PM on Tuesday), I got an email from GV stating that my port was complete. On the GV website, I then added in my new number (under Settings>Phones), and set all calls (and texts) to forward to my new number. GV walked me through a couple of programming steps - and confirmed that my GV calls would be forwarded to my new VZW number. Please note that if you want GV to pick up your VM's, then you will need to activate Google voicemail on the GV website (Settings>Phones). Else, VZW voicemail will end up picking up your calls - and a message like "this user has a VM box that has not been set up" will play.
I also opened up the GV app on my phone and changed the settings to "Make all calls through Google Voice". Also, I turned off the 'Messaging' app, and set the GV app as the default app for handling all texts.
As of now, I can make and receive calls via the setup described above. Folks receiving calls from me see my GV number on their displays (so no need to update folks with my new number), and when I receive calls on my GV number, my VZW phone displays the number of the person trying to reach me (so no updating my contacts list). Low priced international calls, desktop-based texting, unlimited storage of texts/VM's/call-logs, here I come!
My texts arent working yet, but GV states that it takes about 3 days before texting becomes active. When it does, I'm hoping that all texts will be routed via the GV app (I'm fairly certain that it will)
Other things to note:
Banking Apps: Some banking apps that require verification codes to be sent via text might stop working. I just got an email from BOFA this morning asking me to reverify my mobile number. Need to fix this once GV texting becomes active
Messaging: Existing texts on your device cannot be backed up/imported into GV. That said, Google Play has a couple of free apps that backup your entire message archive under a separate label within your Gmail account
Hope this helps someone else out there in taking the plunge. Seems like the process is fairly straightforward unless you decide to skip some steps or if you are impatient and try to change things too quickly (I would really urge you against skipping steps, hurrying things up, etc. GV is completely automated, and getting "support" is almost impossible).
All the best!"

You won't lose your unlimited data as long as your account stays active and you don't purchase a subsidized phone. I just did this yesterday and it took just a few minutes over 24 hours to port my number over to GV. I still have unlimited data. I pretty much followed the instructions you have above except I waited about 7 hours to get a new number from VZW just to make sure there were no hiccups. VZW says you may get some overages if you change your number immediately as opposed to on the first day of your billing cycle because they prorate your minutes and texts used. Luckily I have unlimited everything so it didn't make a difference for me. I'm planning on going over to T-Mobile. My home is a dead zone for cell phones and I always have a weak signal and sometimes don't get my calls. I figure if I'm going to pay for an unsubsidized phone, I might as well go with a company that has wifi calling and a cheaper unlimited plan. I pay $94/mo before taxes with VZW; I'll only be paying $59.50 with T-Mobile for the same plan with 2.5 GB tethering included. T-Mobile here in LA is pretty good and even if I don't get LTE, I can fall back on their HSPA+ network, which is way better than VZW's crippled 3G network. No regrets porting over. The ONLY way I'll stay with VZW is if they allow me to keep my unlimited data (not going to do Verizon Max) and get a subsidized phone. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW VERIZON?

Incrementing a string number for date and time

There are probably a lot of ways to do this, but I only want to use a bunch of if - else loops if I really need to.
I have a date and time for input, let's say 2006-04-19 22:00. In Java, if I convert that to 3 integers (year, month, day), it will output 2006-4-19. I need to be able to increment in a loop for every day and month from one date to the next. If I keep it as a string, I won't be able to increment the value though, (at least I'm not sure how). I'm thinking that even if I converted it to an integer and back to a string, that the leading zero would be removed.
I found a post here that said something about formatting the number with 2 numbers, by using:
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("00");
format.format(1, sb, new FieldPosition(0));
Or is there a way to use the gregorianCalendar stuff that would output the date with all of the zeros in place, while incrementing and looping correctly?
Thanks.

I would get a Date object--you can use java.text.SimpleDateFormat if you're starting with a String--and use that to create a GregorianCalendar. Then you can just call Calendar's add method to add one to whichever field you want. Use the SimpleDateFormat to turn the date back into a String for display again.

In Windows 7 using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) was able to copy an item (name, number, date) and paste in another document. In Windows 8.1 using same version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) not able to do this. Any solutions?

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!

How to reference application version number and current date in page footer

Am new to Apex and am creating first app for production users on Apex 4.0.1 ... I notice that Application Builder app itself displays the version number at bottom right of screen .. are there any substitution strings that I can use to get current date and application version in my own Apex app ... or do I need to create e.g Javascript to format the date and create my own substitution string ?
Any help much appreciated .. thanks !

I modified the Footer of our Default page template. Used JavaScript for the date, below is the code we use. The very last table is specific to our environment and it would need to be customized for your use or removed if not needed. I am a JavaScript novice so this may be crude but it does the job.

Applying date and number format mask

I have specified a date format for an attribute and a number format for another attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints for the attributes.
The date format is:
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd.MM.yyyy
The number format is:
Format type: Currency
Format: 0,000.00 km
When using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> the format mask for the date is applied and it looks good, but when using
<c:forEach var="Row" items="...">
<c:out value="${Row.MyDate}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the format mask is not applied.
When it comes to the number format it is not applied no matter what I use.
I have tried setting the format for the view object attributes as well but the result is the same. How do I make this work?

Can it have something to do with <html:form> ? Since it works using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> inside a html:form.

Lightroom not reading correct data for Lens and Camera Serial Number

Hi you all.
Recently got Lightroom, and I'm so impressed - I never imagined image organizing and adjustment could be this easy and at the same time very advanced.
I have a problem, however. Lightroom (and Adobe Bridge, too) does not correctly read the EXIF data of Lens type and Camera Serial Number.
The first ~50 images I took and imported turned out correctly and displayed my serial number and lens (18-55 mm Canon) inside Lightroom.
But now, whenever I import photos into Lightroom or view them with Bridge, they all display "Unknown Lens" and "Unknown Camera Serial Number".
At first I thought that maybe the camera didn't correctly record this data on to the photos anymore for some reason, but a comparison using EXIFToolGUI shows that the metadata is EXACTLY the same as in the photos that display this info in Lightroom correctly.
I have not done any changes to either my camera (Canon EOS-350D / Digitial Rebel XT) or lens (the kit lens, 18-55 mm Canon).
It seems that for some reason, Lightroom has stopped reading these two fields of metadata - all the other fields, such as aperture and shutter speed, all display correctly.
I also tried to reimport the photos into Lightroom, but it didn't help. Neither did "Synchronize Folder" -> "Scan for metadata updates".
What should I do? I'd like my lens information do display correctly, as I'll buy a new lens soon.
I have attached one of the photos that Lightroom doesn't read the data correctly from. Try importing it into your Lightroom, and see if how the info displays.
Thanks in advance.

Are these jpgs or RAW? I have only edited metadata on jpgs.
It looks like Vista's import stripped out all the makernotes. I didn't look at your file but that seems to be what happened. Be warned, Photoshop CS2 also strips out makernotes!
Now how to fix the problem. If you want to edit the metadata on files already loaded into LR, you need to write out your metadata to the files first, then edit the metadata, then read the new metadata into LR. This is scarey for me, so I always make sure my backup is up to date on the images first.
What to do... You probably can't put back all of the makernotes, so what to do to get the lens information in. I don't know if putting back in the makernote LensType would trigger LR to reconsider its lens information. I don't know. If it had a real lens name, my guess would be no because it would have an XMP::Lens field which would override. But maybe unknown lens doesn't have this field and it would re-read the makernotes.
The other solution is to forget about makernotes for these images and put the exact text you want into XMP::Lens. I think that's the "easy" way.
In either case, you will have to become familiar with exiftoolGUI or exiftool itself. I use the command line exiftool but it looks like you can edit multiple files with exiftoolGUI. Select your files, click the edit thingy (^) under XMP, choose various, and there is lens. Put in the text you want.
I would do this with one file first. If the lens shows up after you read the new metadata into LR, you know you have it right.
Note, exiftool can write backup files for each file. This makes too much of a mess for me. I prefer to copy the directory first (I have copies anyway, I just have to make sure the backups are up to date).
Good luck! I'm struggling with a similar situation where the same lens used by two different cameras is coming out with a different name. I need to go back and "fix" the names in the images already imported, and then develop my procedure for setting a single unique name before I load new images into LR. Not too much of a problem because I'm loading in GPS information anyway... What's another call to exiftool...
