Hi,
I have a number which is char(30).I have to check whether this number begin with ARD4*,if any other value raise error.
Please do help me
Thanks&Regards,
Madhavi.

Hi, try this.

String check problem

I have a doozy of a problem on my hands. My company has introduced a password policy that every user must me now. Some of my criteria is that a password must contain at least one symbol and at least one number. In 10g I can use REGEXP_LIKE function, but I am running 9i. I have tried to use translate, OWA_PATTERN function, everthing. How can I take a string variable, and test to see if there is a symbol in the text or a number. I want to be able to return a true/false value?
Please advise?

Like Kamal says, use built-in functionality FIRST.
Failing that, presumably you would write something like this (I forget the exact naming standard for the password verify function).
CREATE FUNCTION valid_password (
   p_password IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
   FUNCTION contains_at_least_one (
      p_string IN VARCHAR2,
      p_characters IN VARCHAR2)
      RETURN BOOLEAN
   IS
   BEGIN
      RETURN LENGTH (TRANSLATE (p_string, 'X' ||
        p_characters, 'X')) < LENGTH (p_string);
   END;
BEGIN
   RETURN contains_at_least_one (p_password, '0123456789')
      AND contains_at_least_one (p_password, '!Â£$%^&*(){}~@??|<>');
END;

String Checking

Hi,
i have a problem with password checking. my password do have some constraints. first, it can contain lower character, but this is not a must. But, when the password contains lower characters, it is limited to [abcde]. second, it must contain a number, with minimum occurence one. the number have to be [1-9].
examples :
"abc" invalid (doesnt contains number)
"abc01" valid
"00912" valid
"abzxy77" invalid (contains zxy)
i tried to solve it using regex in java, but i cant figure out how to let the password contains lower number in [abcde], but ensures that it contains of minimum one number.
need help,
thanks

Condition should be like
if(contains[0-9] && !contains[e-z])

Need help with a for loop - string checking

I am trying to create a for loop to make sure a user entered string contains only letters but something doesn't take. No errors, but the inner loop of try again doesn't ever come into play. What am I missing please.
     String k = keyboard.nextLine();
     for (int i = 0; i < k.length(); i++)
          char c = k.charAt(i);
          int m = c;
          if (((m < 97) && (m > 122)) || ((m < 65) && (m > 90)))
                    System.out.print("Try again please: ");
                    k = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println(k);

molested,
(you and BigDaddyLoveHandles should get on well)
I would use regular expression for that... which would look something like this...
// get response containing at least one letter.
while (true) {
String response = keyboard.nextLine();
if( response.matches("[a-zA-Z]+") ) break;
System.out.print("Try again please: ");

Search string for 3 digit check number?

For electronic bank statement,uploading file contains 3-digit check number eg;416
but in FCHI-Check lots we defined six-digit check numbers.
so system is not able match the check nos. as they are different, and auto reco is not happening.
we have gone through search strings documentation but
we dont know what to enter in search strings configuration.
Kindly help me what to enter for 3 digit check no?
Edited by: KUMAR on Dec 2, 2008 1:35 PM

You'll first need to create search strings to "find" the check numbers in the note to payee information. Then when you set up the search string use, you'll assign a mapping prefix of "000000" to format the check numbers with the leading zeros so they are 6-digits long.
To set up the search string, you'll need to look at the note to payee information at the text either before or after the check numbers. Let's say, for example, that the word "CHECK" always preceeds the check numbers in the note to payee:
CHECK 456
or
CHECK 1234
Because you have some check numbers coming through the bank statement as 3 digits and some as 4 digits, I'm thinking you'll need to set up two search strings, one with search string value "CHECK ###" and the following mapping:
C ->
H ->
E ->
C ->
K ->
->
-> #
-> #
-> #
And the second with search string "CHECK ####" and the following mapping:
C ->
H ->
E ->
C ->
K ->
->
-> #
-> #
-> #
-> #
In the search string use, you assign each search string to the relevant company code, house bank and account ID. You can also leave these fields blank, in which case the search strings will be relevant for all company codes, house banks and accounts IDs. You'll also need to populate the interpretation algorithm with the same algorithm that you assigned in the Global EBS config for the external transaction for checks. The target field should be Check-/DME Reference-/Assignment number. Fill in the mapping prefix with 000000 - and be sure to check the Active indicator. If you are on ECC 6.0, you will also have fields for external transaction and +- (these fields may also be available in ECC 5.0 - but I know they are not available in 4.7 or prior). If you see these fields, you can fill them in to further limit when the search string is used - for example, only for Negative transactions or only for Negative transactions with a particular external transaction value.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Shannon

How can I stop a task sequence if a custom HTA preflight check fails?

In our currently deployment method, we launch an HTA program before initiating the OSD process. This is only when run from the RAP menu, not via PXE. When a user initiates OSD through that menu, they get a message prompting them to close Outlook, and
a countdown of 5 mins, then OSD starts. They also have the ability to click on an 'OK' button to proceed on their own.
I've created a new script which checks WMI if Outlook and/or OCS are open, and if the machine is running on battery, spit out a "Failed" response and stop the HTA. I've also added a "recheck" button to re-do the check, and an 'OK
button if people jsut want to continue.
I'm curious if there is a way to prevent the task sequence from continuing if any of those conditions arent met. Currently it just pops up and says "Failed, Cannot conitue", but if they close the window, the task sequence thinks the program
has run, and the OSD migration starts. I'd like to be able and get the script to cancel the OSD process if a check fails.
Has anyone had success with this, using WINXP? I'd use the MS pre-flight check but it's only for WIN7.

Interesting. Thanks for the response. Is there anybody out there that can assist with VBS part of the solution?
Here's the code I'm working with. Currently the battery piece isnt working as it should but I can figure that our, eventually. I'd like to get Jason's proposed solution in the code. If this isn't the right place, I'll take this somewhere
else.

Find strings in a list using startsWith?

Hi I hope someone can help me with this problem. Before I start, my apologies as I am a student still trying to learn Java and have got to the murky ground of data structures.To help me better understand this I tried a sample program (which surprisingly was working fine til now ha). So I have a list of songs by various artists added to a tree which begins with the singers name. I want to be able to isolate songs by a particular artist but have tried loads of different ways of doing it to no avail. I tried creating a new list but couldn't add my songs to it. I then found the remove() method and thought why not just find what I want and remove the rest from the list I can always recreate my list again after. So I think I'm close with my code and that's it's maybe a casting issue??
String song = songTree.getElement(currentNode);
List<String> list = MyCollection.getSongs(song);
// List newList = new ArrayList();
String check = new String("Pearl Jam");
Iterator myIter = list.iterator();
while (myIter.hasNext()){
if (myIter.next().!startsWith(check)){
// newList.add();
else{
list.remove();

To help me better understand this I tried a sample program (which surprisingly was working fine til now ha). So I have a list of songs by various artists added to a tree which begins with the singers name. I want to be able to isolate songs by a particular artist but have tried loads of different ways of doing it to no avail. I tried creating a new list but couldn't add my songs to it. Why not? What happened when you tried? This is probably the right way and should definitely work, so let's isolate the problem there.
I then found the remove() method and thought why not just find what I want and remove the rest from the list I can always recreate my list again after.Nah that doesn't seem like a reasonable idea. Let's go back to creating a new collection to hold your isolated subset.
Post an SSCCE of your atte this stagempt at using a new list, and tell us where it goes wrong and what you expect it to do instead. Be sure to use the CODE button in the editor to format your code.
Sorry didn't really answer your questions very well with my post;
I've tried so much at this stage I don't even remember what went wrong. basically in the try I posted just now the startsWith method is not recognised. I'm aware that I'm trying to compare an object reference to a string but thought I had dealt with that with my casting? I think my subset would be saved here in the new collection but again I'm missing something in the comparisment. Oh sometimes I feel like packing in the java! We do far too much theory and nowhere near enough actual coding.

Query string error in JSP

Hi. I originally thought my problem was a javaScript problem but now realize it is a JSP problem:
I have a JSP calling another JSP (which is opened in a smaller window with javaScript) and it uses a query string for values. One of these variables in the string is a note the user enters and can contain anything. Problem is when they enter text with the '&' symbol, I'm getting a Null Pointer Execption as the receiving JSP interprets it as part of the query string.
How can I 'hide' these characters so the receiving JSP page doesn't try to process it?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

hi,
you could detect the string before you sent the string, check for the & symbol and replace it with something else, such as the html equivalent and then append it to the url and send it, on the other end read it and replace the symbol with the & to get it back without confusing the code. you would run into the same problems if the user enter = or possibly ? into the string, so try fixing it with a search and replace method.

HELP: String to double conversion?

Hello,
I want to convert a String to a double, and then use this double for a calculation. The conversion seems to be ok, but I get an error with the calculation... Please HELP!
A part of my code:
double angle;
Double converted_angle;
angle=jTextField2.getText();
converted_angle= Double.valueOf(angle);
double theta = cos(Math.PI/180*converted_angle);
ERROR: "operator * cannot be applied to double,java.lang.Double"
Thanks in advance.

This is happening because you want to multiply a Double object, instead of a double value. Do this:
Double converted_angle; should be double converted_angle;
converted_angle= Double.valueOf(angle); should be changed to converted_angle = Double.parseDouble(angle);
angle should probably be a String.
check this link for your options:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html

Calculation of container check digit

Dearest All.
i hv a requirement .. i hv to calculate check digit for Conatiners for Export and Import.
i tried a lot but failed.....
the logic is as follow...
Every container-number needs its own check digit. This check digit is the last figure of the container-number, that behind the -.
Of course, you can calculate this check digit yourself.
First start with the prefix.     Then there is the number itself.
This is the simplest part of the calculation.     Last but not least the calculation:
with an example: OOLU 708695.
Each letter of the prefix has its own value:
A     10     J     20     S     30
B     12     K     21     T     31
C     13     L     23     U     32
D     14     M     24     V     34
E     15     N     25     W     35

G     17     P     27     Y     37
H     18     Q     28     Z     38
I     19     R     29
Each figure of the number has its own value.
1     1
2     2
3     3
4     4
5     5
6     6
7     7
8     8
9     9
0     0
We know that:     Now calculate:
O     26     26 X 1 =     26
O     26     26 X 2 =     52
L     23     23 X 4 =     92
U     32     32 X 8 =     256
7     7     7 X 16 =     112
0     0     0 X 32 =     0
8     8     8 X 64 =     512
6     6     6 X 128 =     768
9     9     9 X 256 =     2304
5     5     5 X 512 =     2560
     Total =     6682
Of course we can understand if you don't want to calculate all these check digits by hand.
Therefore we made you a little tool.
Enter the container-number as followed: XXXX123456, just try it.
Container-number:
     Check digit:
     Calculate the check digit           Clear the form
Now divide this total by 11:
6682 / 11 = 607,4545
and take the figures after the comma
and multiply it by 11 to get the check digit.
0,4545 X 11 = 5
The complete container-number is:
OOLU 708695-5

HEY ,
don't get panic
you can do this
go step by step
if you are aware of Dialog programing then you can do this
OR if you want to do in simple basic report then also it is possible just use your logic .
1)   create one module pool
2)   create one screen
   in screen give one button to get EVENT in PAI
in PAI you can write code
now for
albhabets and there numbers you can ceate either one ztable or you can create one internal table with cloumn
albhabet , value
A              20
B              30
etc
also same for
1 ,1
2,2
3,3
etc
when user will enter this number say OOLT 78432
use spilt function to split the entered string   into two string
check the length of BOTH string
using DESCRIBE FUNCTION
NOW UP TO THAT LENGTH
IF LENGHT OF 1ST STRING IS 4
AND LENGTH OF SECOND IS 5
THEN
for 1st character check with albhabet value
get 1st value and multiply with 1
get 2nd and multiply with 2 .
get 3rd and multy with 4 .
and so on .
same for numbers
you can do and
use you logic for other steps
you can do that .
just go step by step how you have explained .
Regards
Deepak.

Compairing a string to multiple strings

This is what I need to accomplish in seudocode
if (string != "this" or "that" or "this" or "that")
Id do it with 12 different or statements
if(string != "this" || string != "that" || ...etc){}but Im wondering if there is a cleaner way to go about this.

String bla = "String4";
String[] checks = { "String1", "String2", "String3", ... };
boolean match = false;
for (int i = 0; i < checks.length; i++) {
if (checks.equals(bla)) {
match = true;
break;
if (match) {

Beginner : Array , String Problems continue.

Hi everybody I am so New in Java or rather not really able to understand Java yet.
I have assignment where I do not know how to think anymore..is probably very easy to those who understand programming but sadly I do not.
Program should do:
1. assign any amount of different strings.
2. user is giving any letter he/she wants and program to find it among given strings.
If searched letter is in any string/ strings , only these strings or string are printed.
3. If in given strings is not searched letter, program has to say it, for ex: there is not letter you search for.
As long as now I have only, strings assigning to array. So there are strings in array but I do not know how to write code where I can find given letter by user.
I just do not know how I should think(anymore at all ;)) here. I am really frustrated and desperate, how to understand this?? Once and for all!!!
I was thinking maybe I should use ArrayList? but how...or Can it be done both ways with Array or with ArrayList?
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print("How many strings ?");
          int antal= scan.nextInt();
          String [] str = new String[antal];
           String string = null;
          int x;
           scan.nextLine();
             for( x=0;x<str.length;x++){
                  System.out.print("String "+(x+1)+": ");
             string= scan.nextLine();
             str[x]= string;
            System.out.print("Write a letter you wish to find :");
            String letter = scan.nextLine();
            char check = letter.charAt(0);
//somthing in here ....

Thank you very, very much for helping me, this is the first forum where I am getting any answers at all. Thanks guys!
Yes, that is true I have a problem to "see" things in code..I feel " lost in translation " :)...Sometimes I think I understand code and than suddenly code does total different thing than I thought. I have to pass 2 exams of Java basic and bit advance level of Java , all seems very dark now..but I have a hope that I at least pass those exams. Of course it could be fantastic to start understand Java (or any other computer language) and be able to code one day for real. To be honest, I envy you that you can understand Java. When, all code works is so cool and fun! ok, Back to code...
So I read your tips and advices , thanks.
Here is another problem, with help of indexOf(char) I got index for character I searched, fine.
The way i wrote the code I got separate answer for each string(check in code). What I need to have is, separate printed strings where given character is found and nothing else should be printed. Later, I need just one general comment ,only in case if character is NOT found in given strings.
import java.util.*;
public class upp9 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print("How many strings ?");
          int antal= scan.nextInt();
          String [] str = new String[antal];
          int x;
           scan.nextLine();
             for( x=0;x<str.length;x++){
                  System.out.print("String "+(x+1)+": ");
             str[x]= scan.nextLine();
            System.out.print("Write a letter you wish to find :");
            String letter = scan.nextLine();
            char check = letter.charAt(0);
               for( x=0;x<str.length;x++){
                   str[x].indexOf(check);
                 //     System.out.println("String "+(x+1)+" "+str[x].indexOf(check));
            if((str[x].indexOf(check))>=0)
                 System.out.println("String "+(x+1)+" "+str[x]);
            else
                 System.out.println("Nothing in this string");
System.out.println();
}is printed.

Can't check for nulls in a conditional?

Hey everyone. Trying my hand at a text based game but I'm encountering many problems:
I have this method in one class that (as you can see) has a conditional that checks to see if 'check' is null, this throws a null pointer exception whenever it is called.
private void placeChars()
        String check = currentItem.getItemString();
        if(check.equals(null) && currentRoom.getShortDescription().equals("in the cafeteria"))
            josh.getSentence(0);
    }Here is the method that it is calling from:
public String getItemString()
        String returnString = null;
        if(haveItems != 0 ){
        returnString = "Items:";
        Set<String> keys = items.keySet();
        for(String item : keys) {
            returnString += " " + item;
    return returnString;
    }I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here :/ and yes I know the code is extremely ugly :)

if check is null, you can't invoke any methods on it, including equals.
To check for null:
if (check == null)

HTTPService and string value.

We are having an unexpected issue in our application. One of
the tags returned by a HTTPService is:
<lot_code>7E00024</lot_code>
And we bind this to a data grid column using:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Lot Number"
dataField="lot_code"/>
But the value displayed is:
7e+24
So Flex is automatically converting it to a number and
showing in exponential format. How do we define the XML so we force
a value to be "string" or "text"?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
How are you receiving your data?
as E4X, XML, OBJECT?
That is important, because for instance if it comes like xml
you can use a tostring() to get a node like a string, check de
documentation about XML on adobe livedocs

String check
