Pass UTF character literal from Windows command prompt

I'm trying to pass \u00fd (� - 0253) via the windows command line as a parameter to a java app. "DOS" is converting it to a superscripted 2. Any ideas on how to work around this? It works fine if I pass the parameter via a windows program.
Thanks

\00fd is "Latin Small Letter Y With Acute" according to my Unicode crib. But your DOS window doesn't use Unicode, it uses CP437 or CP850 depending on where in the world it thinks you live. (Both of them have the superscript-2 character at the FD code point.) I don't see the y-acute character anywhere in CP437, so if you're in North America (or maybe Britain too?) you can't do that. In CP850 the EC (decimal 236) code point is y-acute.
However you aren't out of luck in either case. There is a DOS command "chcp". If you type "chcp" at the command line it tells you what your code page is. If you type "chcp 850" at the command line it will change your code page to CP850, if it can.
(I am getting all this information from my MS-DOS 5.0 User's Guide and Reference, by the way. I may put it up for sale on eBay.)

Hi,
you need to make the necessary changes to the %odi%\bin\odiparams.bat config file, under the "Repository Connection Information" section so that startscen knows how to extract metadata from your repository.
You apparently have left the default settings to the Hypersonic demo repository. Is that the technology your repository is hosted on?

Log ConsoleHandler + Windows Command Prompt

Having really strange problem:
Program started from Windows Command Prompt.
Logging with ConsoleHandler.
If select something with "Edit->Mark" in this Command Prompt, process stop responding.
Has anybody seen such behavior?

Correction:
Looks like anything writing to stdout/stderr hangs in Windows Command Prompt "mark" mode.
Could not find anything about how it works.

Java Code Compilation in Windows Command Prompt

Hi Everyone,
I have been programming in java for quite some time now using an IDE (eclipse). I downloaded the following java file from:
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/JpegImagesToMovie.html#requirements
and have downloaded the required JMF. The problem is that I want to compile and run this code in Windows Command Prompt; however, I keep receiving errors upon compilation because I do not know how to make jmf.jar be recognized as a library.
Thx.

javac -cp jmf.jar;otherJars file1.java file2.java file3.java...
Run java and javac from the command line for an explanation of their options.

TDMS Defragment-Through Windows Command Prompt

Dear All,
we need to Defragment the TDMS file by TDMS Defragment.VI via Windows Command Prompt.
Work flow will be as below
1.An Application wil be created to defragment using TDMS Defragment.VI
2. When user stop Main Application (App 1) which records data for long time in tdms ,the Main application (App 1) will call defragmenting Application (App 2) via cmd and should get the file path and start defragmentation and it should pop a message defragmentation completed. and dont want Main Application (App 1) to do anything apart from triggering tdms defragmentation.
Reason is We dont want the Main Application (App 1) to wait for Long time till defragmentation and Since we need to use the Main Application (App 1) for other testing.
So we decided to do this defragmentationin in some other way and display the completion message to user
please provide suggestions

I'd also recommend doing this in one application. If you truely want to do it from a command line you can. LabVIEW built EXEs can support command line switches if you enable it in the build specificaitons. If you do this you'll probably want to support multiple instances, and code it so that it will exit once the conversion is done. But again you can get more information from the result of the defrag (like error) if you do it in the same application.

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,

Using Java in windows command prompt

Hi,
I don't know if I have been searching correctly, but I haven't found a solution to my problem through common search engines.
I'm programming in java using vim (accessed through windows command prompt), and I've created classes, everything compiles fine.
However, I wanted to test my classes my creating instances of them (i.e. objects) through the same windows command line (command prompt). I know you can achieve this by using interaction panes through third party programs such as Dr.Java and eclipse, but I was wondering if this can be done using the command line.
Thanks
Jaime

Thanks Paulcw for your quick reply! :D
I'm guessing I didn't word my question properly.
Neither of my classes have a main method in them, so when I am trying to create instances (objects) of them, I would like to as if my command line was the main.
For example:
Class1 c = new Class1(parameters);
c.moveRight();
etc.
I'd like to be able to use my classes methods from the command line, I think what I'm looking for is a batch, but I'm not sure.
Thanks again,
Jaime

Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

Hi,
I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
sincerely,
gj

gj / Fedro,
Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value
Thanks

Code for how to read an integer array from the command prompt...

hello,
Could anyone give me the code for how to read an integer array from the command prompt...its very urgent!..

If you are using a recent version of Java (5 or later) you can use Scanner:

Make System.in read input from a command prompt

How can i make System.in read input from a command prompt which is opened after program
is started. Please note that program starts without commad promt. Can u plz help?
sharmila

System.in DOES read from the command shell that you start the app in.
What you don't have is a prompt.
You should know about Java Almanac. There are code samples for simple things like I/O that everyone should know about. There's an example there to help you.

Thanx in advance.

Hi
You can run this code from the command prompt in the same way as you run any other simple java program. The only thing is you need to set the Home and Local interfaces in the classpath.And obviously if u had deployed the bean in ur app server container, then its all over.
And one more thing is that u need to set the provider URL in the InitialContext created in the client program.
Thanks

How to read multiple lines from a command prompt?

I usually read from a command prompt like this:
String answer;
System.out.println("Please enter the required data");
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
answer = reader.readLine();
reader = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("There was an exception trying to read " + e);
answer = "";
This has worked fine for years when all I wanted was one line answers.
Now I am trying to prompt for multiple line answers. Is there a way to read into a string array rather than just a string? What class would I use for that?
Thanks a lot!

The easiest approaches would be to read a line at a time until you've read enough lines, whether by a known fixed line count, or a token count, or by reading some sentinel toek, OR read a token at a time using Scanner.next() until you've determined you're done. Which one is more appropriate depends on your situation.

Starting a WSAD server from the command prompt and not from the IDE UI

Hi,
is there a way to run the WSAD server from the command prompt instead of using the IDE UI . i have tried starting the server from the Directory i have installed WSAD " D:\Program Files\IBM\WebsphereStudio\runtimes\base_v5\bin>startServer.bat" but it gives the Following error " The system cannot find the path specified." i am working . do i have to specify the workspace that i am currently working on

to see if the network adapter has registered with OPMN run: opmnctl status
the 6200 message is a timeout which can be set in opmn.xml, the reports server(s) and other processes managed by OPMN should still stop.
Try opmnctl stopall or opmnctl shutdown
Does the timeout shows up regularly ie can you repeat it?
After the stopall or shutdown try to start everything up again and try to stop the single reports server process again.
