PrintWriter question- is it possible to print out a table?

Hi everyone,
I am taking the information retrieved from a database and printing it out to a text file using FileOutputStream and PrintWriter. My question is can i format the printout in any way-- like print out certain records in some sort of table, or make some text bold.
I don't know if the code is relevant, so i paraphrased it here:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(x);
PrintWriter w = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fos));
<here i connect to database>
<a couple of w.print() statements and w.println() statements>
w.close();

You can print data to a file in any form you want. The catch is, as far as i know, you have to lay it out manually. You must convert the data to strings and use white space to lay it out how you want it to look in the text file. Looking over some text I think you would use BufferedWriter to write strings to a file. I don't know any short and easy way, maybe some of the more experienced people will help.
Check the java API on file i/o start at file and work down and see what classes do what you want them to do. If the file is online check the java.net stuff.
If you are trying to print a table to a printer an easy way to do that is make the table in an applet, then print the applet from explorer or netscape.

If you give the to-do items due dates within the week in question, then checking the "To Dos with Due Dates" option in the calendar pringing dialog will print them. I have not found a way to get To-Dos without a date in the relevant week to print on a weekly calendar.

Is It Possible To Print Out All The Names In Address Book At Once?

I have got rather a lot of names and email addresses in my Address Book.
I would like to print them on a few sheets of A4 but the only print options I can find are to print out a single card (with one name) at a time.

Yes, this is very easy. Select the 'All' group, then choose Print from the File menu. Choose your printing options from the menus and send it to your printer.

It is absolutely possible
Check out my StandardPrint class. Basically all you need to do is

PrinterJob pd = PrinterJob.createNewJob();
StandardPrint sp = new StandardPrint(yourComponent);
pd.setPageable(sp);
//if you want this
//pd.pageDialog();
pd.doPrint();You are welcome to have use and modify this class but please don't change the package or take credit for it as your own code.

How do I get System.out.format to print out doubles with the same precision

Using the System.out.format, how do I print out the value of a double such that it looks exactly like it does if it were print from a System.out.println.
For example, take the following code:
double d = 12.48564734342343;
System.out.format("d as format: %f\n", d);
System.out.println("d as sout: " + d);Running the code, I get:

d as format: 12.485647
d as sout: 12.48564734342343

The precision of d has been lost.
I could bump up the precision as follows:
double d = 12.48564734342343;
System.out.format("d as format: %.14f\n", d);
System.out.println("d as sout: " + d);That appears to work, I get:

d as format: 12.48564734342343
d as sout: 12.48564734342343

However, that solution fails if d has a different precision, say 12.48. In that case I get:

d as format: 12.48000000000000
d as sout: 12.48

So how do I get System.out.format to print out doubles with the same precision as System.out.println?
Thanks..

Interesting, but this is not what I am looking for...Your original question was "how do I print out the value of a double such that it looks exactly like it does if it were print from a System.out.println", and you've been told how to do that (although the pattern given by sabre may be a bit excessive - you should only need 15 '#'s).The initial phrase from my question was "Using the System.out.format, how do I..".
It's worth remembering that, unlike the Format hierarchy, 'format()' is NOT native to Java. It's a convenience implementation of the 'printf()' and 'sprintf()' methods provided in C, and first appeared in Java 1.5. Those methods were designed to produced fixed-format output; 'println()' was not.Perhaps it is the case that this can't be done.
Furthermore, Double.toString(), which is what is used by println() does not produce the same format in all cases; format("%.14f\n", d) does. TrySystem.out.println(1.8236473845783d);
System.out.println(1823647384.5783d);and you'll see what I mean.I am fine with that. It still displays all the precision.
I am simply looking for a way to quickly print out multiple variables on a sysout while debugging. I want it as syntactically sweet as possible. System.out.println can be a pain when outputting multiple variables like the following:
"System.out.println("a: " + a + "; b:" + b + "; c: " + c);"
For some reason, my fingers always typo the plus key.
I was hoping that System.out.format would be easier,along the lines of:
"System.out.format("a: %f, b: %f, c: %f\n", a, b, c);"
From a syntactical sweetness point of view, it is easier. However, the %f on doubles truncates the precision. I figured there must be a way to get the full precision.
DecimalFormat is syntactically sour for this purpose, as you need to instantiate the DecimalFormat.
fwiw I have enjoyed reading the suggestions in this thread...

Automatic print out of a document that is created via B1iSN

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to print out of a document (purchase invoice) automatically after it has been created via B1iSN?
Does anyone have an example or a link how to realize this?
Thanks
Gerhard.

Hi Gordon,
thanks for your fast reply.
we have a subsidiary A that does all the accounting and sales for subsidiary B (that works as a commercial unit). All goods that are sold in B are purchased in A. We have connected the two subsidiaries via B1i. A sales order in B automatically generates a purchase order that is send to A via B1i (B1PO2B1SO scenario). The invoice from A for these goods is send to B as a purchase invoice via B1i.
This purchase invoice ought to be printed out automatically as the staff and printers are in the same office.
Regards,
Gerhard.

Print out of item line in sales order

Dear all,
I hope someone can help me.
In a sales order, if I open the menu
Extras-->Output
I can choose between Header and Item.
Where are the differences here.
Is it possible to print out only a highlighted item line by using
Extras>Output>Item-->Edit?
Thank you very much in advance.
Andreas

This is not possible in the standard system.
One possible way could be to create a custom header output program (ex. one copied from BA00 outut) that reads in some way the checked items, or you can set some item field (ex. Additional data tile fields) and the read this field in the header output.
Hope this can help you.

Print out a page with a all controls

I assume you're asking how do you print an MFC dialog with all of its controls. Is that correct? If so, try adding a method to your dialog class with this code:
CPrintDialog printDlg(FALSE);
if (printDlg.DoModal() != IDOK)
return;
DOCINFO documentInfo;
::ZeroMemory(&documentInfo, sizeof(documentInfo));
documentInfo.cbSize = sizeof(documentInfo);
documentInfo.lpszDocName = _T("Dialog Document");
HDC hdcPrinter = printDlg.GetPrinterDC();
CDC printerDC;
printerDC.Attach(hdcPrinter);
printerDC.StartDoc(&documentInfo);
printerDC.StartPage();
HDC hdcScreen = ::GetDC(NULL);
CDC screenDC;
screenDC.Attach(hdcScreen);
long screenPpiX = ::GetDeviceCaps(hdcScreen, LOGPIXELSX)
long screenPpiY = ::GetDeviceCaps(hdcScreen, LOGPIXELSY);
long printerPpiX = ::GetDeviceCaps(hdcPrinter, LOGPIXELSX);
long printerPpiY = ::GetDeviceCaps(hdcPrinter, LOGPIXELSY);
long xRatio = printerPpiX / screenPpiX;
long yRatio = printerPpiY / screenPpiY;
CRect windowRect;
GetWindowRect(&windowRect);
CRect targetRect = windowRect;
targetRect.right = targetRect.left + (targetRect.Width() * xRatio);
targetRect.bottom = targetRect.top + (targetRect.Height() * yRatio);
targetRect.OffsetRect(
-targetRect.left + (targetRect.left * xRatio),
-targetRect.top + (targetRect.top * yRatio)
CDC* dialogDC = GetDC();
printerDC.StretchBlt(
0,
0,
targetRect.Width(),
targetRect.Height(),
dialogDC,
0,
0,
windowRect.Width(),
windowRect.Height(),
SRCCOPY
ReleaseDC(dialogDC);
screenDC.Detach();
p
rinterDC.EndPage();
printerDC.EndDoc();
printerDC.Detach();
This isn't perfect, but hopefully it can get you started.
