Process calculation from text

Hi,
I there an easy way to process a calculation that is in text form as in:
"2567 + 82736"
"1000 * (27363 / 38374)"
"3434 + 34334 + 34332 + 83938"
Or do the strings have to be parsed and processed that way. I was hoping there was a way to evaluate the calculation?
thanks.

Thanks for responding guys. Evaluate doesn't work (at least not the way I've tried it). E.g.
<cfset val = 1>
<cfset vall = 2>
<cfset op = "+">
<cfset new_expr = "1 + 2">
#evaluate("new_expr")# resolves to "1 + 2"
#evaluate("val #op# vall")# resolves to "3"
So unless there are any other ideas, I guess I will have to parse. You'd think there'd be an easier way :-( Thanks again.

How to create Button which size is calculated from its text ?

I think JButton works like this: either in constructor or by setText() method the text is set and according the lenght, font and fontRendererContext preffered size is calculated before the layout manager ask for the prefferedSize for first time.
I want to override paint() method because i want to draw my own text(and the only way i discovered how to force button not to paint text is to set text to
null or empty String). I want the button to be as long as length of text plus insets.
But layout manager ask for preffered size before paint method is invoked but i find out what size should be in paint method because i need graphics
parameter to get FontRendererContext from it. So layout manager shrink button to minimum because first time the preffered size calculated from null or
empty String is returned.
public class MyButton extends JButton {
        public MyButton() {
            this.setText(null); //or setText("");
            this.setContentAreaFilled(false);
            this.setFocusPainted(false);
            this.setBorderPainted(false);
                                                      ////already here i need to know what the size should be
        @Override
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
            TextLayout textLayout = new TextLayout("MyButton", this.getFont(), g2.getFontRenderContext());
            Rectangle2D boundsOfText = textLayout.getBounds();                                                                    /////////here i find out what size should be
            this.prefferedSize = new Dimension((int)boundsOfText.getWidth()+10,(int) boundsOfText.getHeight()+10);
            g2.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            g2.fillRoundRect(1, 1,(int)getPreferredSize().getWidth(),(int) getPreferredSize().getHeight(), 10, 10);
            g2.setColor(Color.BLACK);
            g2.drawRoundRect(1, 1,(int)getPreferredSize().getWidth(),(int)getPreferredSize().getHeight(), 10, 10);
            g2.drawString("MyButton", 7, (int)boundsOfText.getHeight() + 6);
            g2.dispose();
    }So how can i do that? How can JButton know prefferedSize before its paint method is invoked?

The previous example was simplified.
public class MyButton0 extends JButton {
    private String myText;
    public MyButton0(String text) {
        this.myText = "Button";
        //this.myText = text.toUpperCase();
        this.setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.PLAIN, 13));
        setContentAreaFilled(false);
        setBorderPainted(false);
        setFocusPainted(false);
    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        //backround painting
        GradientPaint background = new GradientPaint(0, 0, new Color(255, 255, 255), 0, getPreferredSize().height / 2, new Color(0, 0, 0), true);
        if(getModel().isRollover()){
            background = new GradientPaint(0, 0, new Color(255, 255, 255), getPreferredSize().width , getPreferredSize().height , new Color(0, 0, 0), true);
        if(getModel().isPressed()){
            background = new GradientPaint(0, 0, new Color(255, 255, 255), 0, getPreferredSize().height / 2, new Color(210, 210, 210), true);
        g2.setPaint(background);
        g2.fillRoundRect(1, 1, getPreferredSize().width - 3 , getPreferredSize().height - 3, 10, 10);
        //Border painting
        g2.setColor(new Color(255, 255, 255));
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(2.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, 10.0f));
        g2.draw(new RoundRectangle2D.Double(1, 1, getPreferredSize().width - 3, getPreferredSize().height - 3, 10, 10));
        //text paiting
        g2.setFont(getFont());
        TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(this.myText, getFont(), g2.getFontRenderContext());
        int startPositionOfText = getPreferredSize().width - (int) tl.getBounds().getWidth();
        startPositionOfText = startPositionOfText / 2;
        g2.setColor(new Color(255, 255, 255));
        g2.drawString(this.myText, startPositionOfText -2, getHeight() / 2 + 5);
        g2.dispose();
    @Override
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        return new Dimension(133, 31);
}Assume text is so long as doesn't fit inside button. I have hard-set preffered size but i would like to calculate preffered size from text lenght.
Or i need calculate startPosition of text to center it. But i don't want have preffered size hard-set.

How to find largest number from text file

I am using the "Read from text file" block to read the data from my .txt file into labview. It is now in string format. I have many numbers in the file.
For example:
0.45
0.35
0.12
1.354
1.56
2.89
5.89
0.56
That is what a text file might look like. I want to find which of these numbers is largest, and do calculations with that number. I am having trouble with strings/number formats/arrays, etc. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The spreadsheet functions and VIs typically work on strings representing numbers separated by delimiters. This is a typical way to save a "spreadsheet" (of numbers) to a text file, for example .csv files. These are quite versatile and powerful functions. Spend a bit of time becoming familiar with them because you may find yourself using them a lot.

Good for processing data from a web application?

It seems like all the examples provided for ASA are about processing data streaming in from IoT or mobile apps. Is ASA appropriate for processing data from websites? For example, I have a multi-tenant web API and I need to roll up usage and calculate billing
for my clients. My clients can upload resources with me which I store in blob storage. But blob storage gives me no way of knowing how many resources have been uploaded and how long I have stored them. Would ASA be a good fit for calculating these figures?

I have solved this task in folowing way:
I have add ADF read only form to my page (which I need anyway). The form displays data selected in the graph (using another VO, which is linked to graph VO). Command button calls my managed bean, which handles the data via the bindings executables (view iterators).

Switching from text view to visual view in SharePoint Designer 2013 crashes 100% of the time

Whenever I am in SharePoint Designer 2013 and try to switch a workflow from text view to visual view, SharePoint Designer crashes. Text workflows work fine. I have tried any of the solutions that I could find including:
- Removing KB2837633 and 2768006 (neither were installed)
- Installing SharePoint Designer 2013 SP1 (KB2817441)
- Performing a "Repair" on both SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visio 2013
- Clearing the caches in the AppData directory
- Setting Visual as the default mode for workflows to open in (so, not exactly switching, but trying to open it directly in the visual view)
Event viewer reports that it is an issue with Microsoft.Web.Authoring.ni.dll which throws an unhandled exception, System.AccessViolationException.

Condition Type for item calculated from delivery date

Dear Experts,
We need that the condition type MWST for PO item will be calculated from Item delivery date ,
But we see that always in Analysis pricing the efected date is PO date and not item delivery date .
Please advise how we should configure the condition ?
Thanks,
Moshe

Hi,
In standard configuration you cannot set item delivery date as a pricing data.
Maybe you shoud look at SAP enchancement - in dedicated structures you can pass additional item data (structure KOKMP).

hope it helps.

Rebate calculation from Basic Price PR00

Hi,
This query is related to rebate conditions. At present the rebate base is calculated from the subtotal, that is Basic price - discount(The subtotal 7 is assigend to the step 300).
As per the requirement from the business, the rebate should be calculated from the 'Basic Price'. They don't want the discount value should be considered in the rebate calculation. I explained them regarding the burden which company has to bear, but the business still want to go with the changes.
My plan is to create another step in the pricicng procedure right after the basic price and assign subtotal 7 to it and delete the exting reabte subtotal step, and assign the new step number to rebate conditions, so the reabte will be calculated based on this.
My questions are:-
1. Can I edit the existing pricing procedure to make these changes?
2) Will there be any impact on the existing rebate agreements (open) and its settlements on a later date?
3) Will there be any impact on the process of billing of open sales orders/deliveries (not billed) after the change in pricing procedure?
Please guide me.
Regards,
SAM

Hi Ivano,
Thnak you very much for your suggestion.
As the note says, the best way is to copy the existing pricing procedure and create another and assign it in OVKK.
Will there be any effect for partially billed delivery items? (at the time of creation of billing document for the unbilled items in the delivery)
OR
when we create a billing document from the delivery (in the case of sales order and delivery created with old pricing procedure and the billing document is getting created after the assignment of new pricing procedure)
Your valuable suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
SAM

Executing Business Rule / Calculation from Excel - Essbase

Hi All,
Currently I am trying to run the calculations / Business rules from essbase after locking and sending data. I am using the below code to run the business rule / calculation from essbase.
Sub RunBusinessRule()
On Error Resume Next
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", False)
MsgBox "Business Rule executed successfully"
End Sub
The issue is that my code gives me a message that the business rule is executed successfully but the rule keeping running in the background for some time. Actually i need a code which will check the status of the process of calculation and when it actually gets completed I should get a message that it's been done. Please expedite.

Hi,
I take it you mean calc script and not business rule as really they are separate.
The reason you get a message straight away is because you have the synchronous parameter set to false, if you set it to true it should not return until it is comple
e.g.
X = EssVCalculate(Empty, "AggFlash", True)
Cheers

A column that's calculated from the previous three columns

I have written this query and it runs perfectly:
============================================================
Select ProductName, ListPrice, DiscountPercent, ListPrice - DiscountPercent AS DiscountAmount
From Products
==================================================================
Now I need to add this line to this query: DiscountPrice calculated from (ListPrice - DiscountAmount). But I keep getting errors:
Select ProductName, ListPrice, DiscountPercent, ListPrice - DiscountPercent AS DiscountAmount
ListPrice - DiscountAmount AS DiscountPrice
(Get Errors on ListPrice; Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'ListPrice'.)
From Products

You need to repeat the ListPrice formula in your DiscountPrice formula (the most efficient way to handle this formula). The alias ListPrice is not available until after the select is complete.

What's the keyboard shortcut for "Extrusion from Text Layer"? (Mac CS6)

I keep triggering this by accident and can't figure out what combo I'm hitting, or how to disable it. I've looked in the Keyboard Shortcuts but can't find it.
I'm on a laptop keyboard, so I use the fn key a lot to access enter when I'm finished editing text. Every once in a while (but often enough to be annoying), I attempt to enter out of text editing and suddenly everything stops, the gray rotating "processing" cursor appears, and for a few seconds I'm in a mild panic about how long it's been since I saved. Then a dialog box comes up asking if I want to switch to the 3D workspace or something. Clicking "no" doesn't stop the unwanted 3D thing from happening, and the last History item then says "Extrusion from Text Layer." I then Undo and go on with what I was doing.
I've always got my left hand positioned over the lower left corner of the keyboard, and move quickly when using shortcuts and switching tools. I have no idea what combination I keep hitting by accident - something with fn, ctrl, opt, cmd, shift, I don't know, plus possibly return or enter. What is it, and how do I disable it?

Trial-and-error prevails: It's fn + shift + return. (Or shift + enter on a full keyboard, I suppose? Unless that still does a soft line break like shift + return.)
But only when I'm actively editing the text layer - not with the text layer selected and Move tool active, or even with the text layer selected and Type tool active, but only when in the process of using the Type tool to edit the text layer. I still have no idea to disable it, though.

Bug when converting from text to date

Hello Guys,
I have a table with about 700 rows and the first column is for date.
Most rows correctly have the cell content as date, but some rows show it as text, and even when I try to change it to date, nothing happens. It sticks as text.
Main problem is I can't sort correctly of even do calculations.
For me it really seems to be a bug.
The only solution I see is to create a new column to convert the values with formula, but this is a shame to need to do this to workaround such simple bug.
Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Wayne,
LOL.
Here's the cell that came from text file exactly like the next one. After setting as date in the format panel, it stays as expected:
The row below came from another paste from the same text file, but it insists on not becoming date:
After setting date, and leaving the cell selection, it goes back to "Automatic".
In the bar at the bottom, it is shown as "Text".
I have already tried to select the entire column and set as Date, and also to do it individually, but only some are converted. Other stays as Texts.
Best regards,
Bruno

To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....

All this only if've understood u right...

What is the difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters?

What is the main difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters and why use one over the other, or when is one preferred over the other?
I am still fairly new to AE and am trying to better understand this, or can you point me to where i might look for the answer?
CS5 if that make a difference.

One creates masks, the other creates shape layers. There are properties that you can animate with shape layers that are not available to masks. There are also a few things you can do with masks that you can't with shape layers.
I'd suggest you take a look at the help files or do a Google Search on After Effects Shape Tutorials.
