Percent Format - in a custom string
Post Author: rjstassi
CA Forum: Formula
I have a custom field with the string "("&&"Complete)"
the formula works - however, I need the rounded to the whole percent i.e. 41.67 => 42 and I need the % symbol. I know I can add the '%' symbol into the string portion, but I cannot round the number as it becomes recognized as a string.

CA Forum: Formula
There's two spring-to-mind options:
1: Place a textbox on the page, type in the text bits "( % Complete)" and then drag+drop the field into the middle of the text string in the textbox. You can then format the number portion of the textbox as another other normal number field. I prefer to leave the % sign as part of the textbox rather than as part of the number formatting. For no particular reason, mind you.
2: Change the formula to be: "("&totext(,0)&" % Complete)". This will convert the number to text (the ,0 bit rounds it) and allows it to be concatenated with other bits of text.

Jspinner with percent formatting
Hi, I want to make a jspinner but with percent formatting. Here is the code:
private void SetUpSpinner() {
NumberFormat percentEditFormat;
NumberFormat percentDisplayFormat;
percentEditFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
percentDisplayFormat = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance();
NumberFormatter percentEditFormatter =
new NumberFormatter(percentEditFormat) {
public String valueToString(Object o)
throws ParseException {
Number number = (Number)o;
if (number != null) {
double d = number.doubleValue() * 100.0;
number = new Double(d);
return super.valueToString(number);
public Object stringToValue(String s)
throws ParseException {
Number number = (Number)super.stringToValue(s);
if (number != null) {
double d = number.doubleValue() / 100.0;
number = new Double(d);
return number;
jformattf = new JFormattedTextField(
new DefaultFormatterFactory(
new NumberFormatter(percentDisplayFormat),
new NumberFormatter(percentDisplayFormat),
percentEditFormatter));
Integer value = new Integer(10);
Integer min = new Integer(0);
Integer max = new Integer(100);
Integer step = new Integer(1);
SpinnerNumberModel model = new SpinnerNumberModel(value, min, max, step);
CommisionSp.setEditor(jformattf);
CommisionSp.setModel(model);
}If I comment the CommisionSp.setEditor(jformattf); line, the jspinner works fine but without percent format. But if I add that line.... the increase and decrease button does not work at all although I can edit the jspinner directly and when the jspinner lost the focus, my number will be formatted to be percentage formatting.
Any solution???
Thank you.is this what you're trying to do?
import javax.swing.*;
class Spin extends JFrame
public Spin()
super("Spin");
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(200,75);
setLocation(400,300);
JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner(new SpinnerNumberModel(0,0,1,.01));
JSpinner.NumberEditor editor = new JSpinner.NumberEditor(spinner,"0%");
spinner.setEditor(editor);
JPanel jp = new JPanel();
jp.add(spinner);
getContentPane().add(jp);
public static void main(String[] args) {new Spin().setVisible(true);}

Sending/Reading custom Strings in HTTP Header
Hey people,
I'm developing a J2ME application in which I'm trying to send a Message object (a few Strings such as Content, Nickname etc) to a Servlet. Serialization would be nice but since J2ME doesn't support it, I would have to come up with a custom one. I am looking for an easier way to send the strings I need to the other side.
Can I use some of the HTTP headers in a POST request set to my custom Strings (using setRequestProperty when constructing them)?
I know it's probably inefficient or "unethical" but if a dirty trick is what it takes... Since I'm controlling both sides of the connection, I am prepared to make it happen, one way or the other.
Can someone come up with a viable solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you for your prompt answer.
I will give it a shot but I fear there's bound to be some trouble:
1. Since the text messages sent can be of arbitrary size and I will definitely need some extra fields (such as smileys ;), color, etc - you get the gist) the header can be long. Thus, big overhead on a small device. But it sure beats creating byte[] for serialization.
2. Some of the characters used in the "encoding" of the message, such as ",<,>,?,& etc cannot be used by in the actual body of the message - it would confuse the "decoding" on the other side.
I might be trying to hit two birds with one stone here but the goal is to get a few "text" attributes across as painlessly as possible (for the device, not me..)
You gave me food for thought tho, have some $ ;). -
How can I export formatted text from a string indicator?
Does someone know how I can export formatted text (i.e., parts of the text have different formatting, such as color, fontsize, etc.) from a string indicator? Using copy/paste does not work, as it only exports unformatted plain text.
Hello Sparti,
Thank you for your suggestions, they are all very useful, and I plan to use the HTML feature under Report Generation to export the formatted text from Labview. However, I am still not sure how I can extract the formatted text from a *string indicator* and transfer it to one of those VIs, so that it can be exported to other applications. Let me give some more specific info on what I am trying to achieve: I am monitoring the communication between two pieces of equipment. A string indicator shows all the data flow, with different colors for data coming from different instruments. I managed to do that by using a property node and playing with the selection and font color properties. Now, if you just wire the output of the string indicator, the formatting is gone and all you get is just plain black text (for instance, try to programmatically transfer the formatted text from one string indicator to a different string indicator and you will see that the formatting is not preserved). Even if you try the "brute force" method of manually selecting and copying the text in the indicator and pasting it to Word, LV does not export the formatting. But, if you paste *within* LV (for example, paste it to a string constant in your diagram), then it works. To extract the formatted string from the indicator, I also tried to use a property node, but without success. I am trying to avoid duplicating part of my code to generate the same color-coding scheme on a report. It would be way easier to be able to transfer the formatted text from the string indicator. This is particularly annoying, because the information is there, stored in the data structure associated with the string indicator. But how can I put my hands on it? Any ideas? -
In place of the percentage number next to my battery icon, it now says "single percent format." What does this mean and what do i do about it?
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:

Formatting a timestamp into string with $ specifier
Formatting a timestamp into string with $ specifier does not work; the formatted string is empty and no error is reported:
I have forced the width to 10 to show that the format is at least partially scanned but when it is omitted the timestamp field is empty.
I couldn't find this problem reported/addressed so here it is (LabVIEW 8.6)
LabVIEW, C'est LabVIEWYes, the simple work around is to put the timestamp first in both the string and the inputs. But this is a bug. There is no doubt about that. A high priority? Probably not. Something that should be looked for when doing a revamp of the Format String? Yep.

How do I strip off a time format off of a string array
How do I strip off a the first part of a time format out of a string array. The following is what it looks like
14 April 2008 10:00:00.000, 30.000,128.591,-145.839
" " " 10:00:01.000, " " "
I tried the read from speadsheet file first. I tried lower level VIs. There must be something simple I am just missing.Search for the first comma and take the data before it.

Formatting of the GUID string.
Dear gurus, I already get good help for other problem. I hope to follow guidelines this time.
In our firm we have to deal with the GUID. Now, the GUID come in 3 formats (see the other posting
of the GUID in this newsgroup). I have the several GUIDS as below
with mydata as (
select '77DB966B620D4FEBB9959D016E0BD590' as guid from dual union
select '159F25C035E845CFA95CFF4F3365B330' from dual union
select '0485FA87A2FF445E965333B6980EC176' from dual)
select guid from mydata;Now, instead of the phrase "select guid from mydata" what I wish for is to have the
select regexp_replace(guid, xxxxxxxxxxxx, yyyyyyyyyyyy, zzzzzzzzzzz) from mydata for the following of the result.
desired result
select regexp_replace(guid, xxxxxxxxxxxx, yyyyyyyyyyyy, zzzzzzzzzzz) from mydata;
77DB966B-620D-4FEB-B995-9D016E0BD590
159F25C0-35E8-45CF-A95C-FF4F3365B330
0485FA87-A2FF-445E-965333B6980EC176
and also desired result - difference in expression
{77DB966B-620D-4FEB-B995-9D016E0BD590}
{159F25C0-35E8-45CF-A95C-FF4F3365B330}
{0485FA87-A2FF-445E-965333B6980EC176}the needing is as the follows: put the - (hyphen charachter) at 8, 12, 16, 20 in the GUID string
and also possible choose add the bracket cureley { } at beginning end of string. I am not very strong
(still doing the learning) of the regular expressions. If any guru can help, I would be most grateful.
Jehangir.Hi, Jehangir,
Here's how to do that using REGEXP_REPLACE:
SELECT guid AS raw_guid
, REGEXP_REPLACE ( guid
, '{\1-\2-\3-\4}'
) AS formatted_guid
FROM mydata
;Results, given the sample data you posted:
RAW_GUID FORMATTED_GUID
0485FA87A2FF445E965333B6980EC176 {0485FA87-A2FF-445E-965333B6980EC176}
159F25C035E845CFA95CFF4F3365B330 {159F25C0-35E8-45CF-A95CFF4F3365B330}
77DB966B620D4FEBB9959D016E0BD590 {77DB966B-620D-4FEB-B9959D016E0BD590}In the 3rd argument to REGEXP_REPLACE, the curly brackets have no special meaning. You can use them like any plain character.
You could also get the same results using SUBSTR, which will probably be a little more efficient.

Customized strings in iPad viewer not working?
Hello,
per request of client i've tried to change one string in viewer for iPad. So i've created template in DSP App Builder, modified this template on my computer, choose this file in App Builder and prepared another build (V28). Unfortunately, i still see old original string (i've double tested that i'm downloading new version of app). When i now check DPS App Builder, it just says "Asset stored on server", so i asume, that everything goes smoothly on this side.
Any similar experience with customized strings?
Thanks
MartinEverything was done from scratch with V28.

That's odd. It worked for me when I tested it. Perhaps you should try moving the current xml file to a different folder, downloading a new version, copying and pasting, and rebuilding.

Output custom string to SAX TransformerHandler
Hi
How can I output a custom String to a SAX TransformerHandler? I don't think my string is valid XML but I want to add it anyway.
The String I want to add is: "<?import namespace="t" implementation="#default#time2">"
Can I do it by writing using the characters method? E.g. something close to:
myTransformerHandler.characters("<?import namespace=\"t\" implementation=\"#default#time2\">".toCharArray(),
0,
"<import namespace=\"t\" implementation=\"#default#time2\">".length()); This doesn't work because the < are replaced with < etc.
Thanks
/KristoferMaybe this question was too easy to deserve an answer or perhaps it was not answered because I was asking the wrong question. Anyways.. Elements with questionmarks are really "XML processing instructions" and the line above can be added with the line:
myTransformerHandler.processingInstruction("import", "namespace=\"t\" implementation=\"#default#time2\""); -

Date format issue in Custom Pages
Hi All
I have set ICX: Date Format profile option as 31-Dec-1999 and under preferences set the date format as DD-MM-YYYY. But still in my custom pages when i fetch data and show it shows in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Could anyone please tell me is it the default mask for OAF. If so then what is the significance of setting preference format mask when it does not get reflected.Please help.
Thanks
RajHi Sachin,
where did you set the SET COUNTRY in the layout?
It should be in the Initialization tab in the Global defnitions. Please confirm that.

Printing envelope not formatted correctly on custom size 8.75 by 5.75
Printers and All-In-Ones running win 7 64 bit, officejet 8600 pro all update current, In works 2007 word processor or 2011 Hallmark card progam. downloaded latest driver and reinstalled same (deleted original dr and rebooted first). Envelope is correctly positioned, address prints at top of flap side return address is missing. On plain paper (8.5X11) test print, address & return address appears to be in correct position.
I have the same problem with the same size paper (aka Invitation or Statement size), and have an additional problem with printing to the corresponding envelope size which is a Standard A9 (5.75"x8.75"). These are both standard size papers for the U.S. and are used in printing wedding invitations. I don't understand why there are programmed sizes for Japanese stationary, but not for all standard U.S. size formats (that will fit in the main feed tray) or the ability to create a Custom Size format.
Because these features weren't available, I ended up paying a local printer to print my New Year's cards (an expense I wasn't anticipating that equaled half the purchase price of the printer). And, since I can't print on the envelopes I will need to print labels, which I was hoping to avoid because I hate applying labels to envelopes.
HP, please update the software to allow customers to print to all appropriate Standard Size US formats or allow for customization, otherwise my next printer will be purchased from a manufacturer that does provide this ability. -
Translating a date format in a filename string
Hi,
Basically I have a property like:
filename=MyFile(yyyy-MM-dd@HHmmss).logWhen I create the file I want to translate the embedded date format string using the current date.
My solution is as follows:
private static void createFile(String fName) {
String[] fNameArray = new String[3];
int openBracket = fName.indexOf("(");
int closeBracket = fName.indexOf(")");
// Split the file name into prefix, text inside brackets ie to be tranlated to a date and suffix
fNameArray[0] = fName.substring(0, openBracket+1);
fNameArray[1] = fName.substring(openBracket+1, closeBracket);
fNameArray[2] = fName.substring(closeBracket);
String dateFormat = fNameArray[1];
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
String date = df.format(new Date());
fNameArray[1] = date;
fName = fNameArray[0].concat(fNameArray[1].concat(fNameArray[2]));
...This seems a little long winded to me (it works though). Does anyone know of a simpler way to code this?
Many ThanksI've been looking around and came across String.format() which can be used to format strings using substitutions variables.
This works a treat but I must admit the property now looks a bit complex!
String fName = "MyFile_%1$tY%1$tm%1$td%1$tH%1$tM%1$tS.log";
fName = String.format(fName, Calendar.getInstance());
// fName = MyFile_20060803132200.logThanks for your help.
