String expected by parse()

Hi,
Can someone please let me know the type of String expected by the parse function in java.util.date. When I passed the value 01012003, the parse function returned the exception Unparseable date : "01012003".
Thanks.

Can someone please let me know the type of String

When I passed the value 01012003, the parse function
returned the exception Unparseable date : "01012003".I think you need dashes or slashes in order for it to guess what your format is.
But forget about that. Use the SimpleDateFormat class instead.
/* dd = day, MM = month, yyyy = year */
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy");
Date date = format.parse("01012003");The format constructor is case sensitive.

XML string to XML parsing in JCD

I have stored an XML file as a CLOB in the Oracle DB. While fetching this data into JCD using Oracle OTD, I am getting this CLOB field as a string containing the XML. Now I want to parse this XML string to XML, as I need to map the individual fields to an XSD OTD, which will be my output.
Kindly suggest a way to achieve this.

An XSD OTD has an unmarshalFromString() method:
inputFormat.unmarshalFromString( strData );
When putting the XML into the CLOB it could be a good idea to wrap an outputstream into a Writer object in order to make certain that the encoding is correct, depending how the data is represented. When retrieving CLOB data using getCharacterStream() you will get a Reader object where the encoding is already given.

Problem in parsing a xml string using dom parser

i want to parse a Xml String using a Dom parser......the parse function in dom parser takes only input stream as argument.......so i made the code as
InputStream inputstream = new StringBufferInputStream(XmlData) ;
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(inputstream );
but saxexception is coming and also warning called
"java.io.StringBufferInputStream in java.io has been deprecated"
please help me.........

i want to parse a Xml String using a Dom
parser......the parse function in dom parser takes
only input stream as argument.......This is not true of the DOM parser in Java 1.4. So you might want to get rid of your old parser and replace it by something more current. Or perhaps you are using 1.4 and you just didn't read all of the API docs.

Double.parseDouble(String) : Problem to parse large String

Hello,
I need to convert A String to a Double in my application without rounding of digits.
I have used the Double.parseDouble(String) method.
The maximum string length can be 17 including dot(.)
So if my String is (of length 17)
Eg.
S= �9999999999.999999� then I am getting the double value as
d= 9999999999.999998(compare the last digit)
If s = �9999999999.111111� then d = 9999999999.111110
If s = �9999999999.555555� then d = 9999999999.555555 (result that I want)
If s = �9999999999.666666� then d = 9999999999.666666 (result that I want)
If s = �9999999999.777777� then d = 9999999999.777777 (result that I want)
If s = �9999999999.888888� then d = 9999999999.888887
If s = �9999999999.999999� then d = 9999999999.999998
If s = �9123456789.123456� then d = 9123456789.123456
But string length up to 16 is giving me the accurate result
So any body can explain me that why it is happening? And how can i get the accurate result.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
Thank You for your suggestion. By which i can store
the big double number in Data base , but at some
point i require to parse a double value from a Double
reference.In that case if the Decimal value length
=> 16 then it the last digit changes or rounds.
coverting 9999999999.999999 Decimal value to double
value. It gives me 9999999999.999998 and
9999999999.9999999 gives me the 10000000000.0000000.
but the Double value 999999999.999999 is ok
and 999999999.99999999 rounds.Err, is there a follow up question in there?

Is is possible to allow multiple date format strings pass DateFormat.parse?

I'm trying to use DateFormat.parse to validate a date in the 20/12/08 format. I would like to allow users to input 20-12-08 or 20 12 08.
The code currently looks like this:
formatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SMALL, US);It is currently throwing an exception if 10-12-08 is sent in where as 10/12/08 works just fine.
Is there a alternate us locale that is more lenient?
setLenient(true) didn't solve the problem for me. I think that would accept 32/12/08 not 10-12-08.
I could parse the date string and replace - or ' ' with a /.. Is that best practice?
What other options do I have? Could I use SimpleDateFormat somehow?
Thanks for the input

That just doesn't seem clean. It will work, but I would rather not have a valid application flow use an exception to get its job done.
The application is also international, so many locales on one format is valid. The US user base seems to think they can type in the date however they want. So passed into the method is the locale, I would have to modify a lot of code to send in a list of valid locales.
The best solution for me would be to have a locale that would allow - or ' ' or /. That way I still only have to make one call to df.parse and an exception produces an invalid date message. Is that possible?
Thanks

Would like some help converting an array of strings into multiple parsed string arrays

Hello everyone.
this is a very novice question and I sincerely apologize for that, but i need some direction!
i have an array of strings:
(('J01',), ('0', '0', '0', '1'))
(('J02',), ('0', '1', '0', '1'))
(('J03',), ('0', '0', '0', '0'))
ect...
i would like to know what are some of the best ways to gain access to this information (aka, parse it). The field lengths are not static and all those ones and zeros could very possibly be two digits at times (0 = off state, 1-100 = on state), so simply pulling characters out of a given position of the string will not always work.
what i would like to achieve is to make either separate arrays for each desirable element, eg:
array one:
J01
J02
J03
array two:
0
0
0
array three:
0
1
0
and so on.
or maybe even a matrix (if that’s feasible).
other than that I am totally up for suggestions!!
thank you very much,
Grant.

Assuming fixed structure (not necessarily length of the different numbers or names).

DOM to string in C++ Parser

I see this has come up in various forms before, but what's the best way to convert from a DOM Document instance to a string (for saving to a file) using the C++ tools? I found Node::print(...) in the header file, but get a link error as if it's not really there. If you need a suggestion on what features to add, this would sure be one!

You found the right method so I'm not sure why you get a link error. Can you supply some sample code and the linker output?

How to parse XML string fetched from the database

i want to parse the XML string which is fetched from the oracle database.
i have inserted the string in xml format in the database. The type of the field in which it is inserted is varchart2.
I am successfully getting it using jdbc, storing it in a String.
Now it is appended with xml version 1.0 and string is ready for parsing.
Now i am making following programming.
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = Builder.parse(xmlString);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList node = root.getElementsByTagName("product");
But i am getting IOException at the statement
Document doc = Builder.parse(xmlString);
there fore i request u to kindly help me in solving this error.
-regards
pujan

DocumentBuilder does not have a method parse with xml string as aparameter. The string should be a xml document uri.
Convert xml string to StringReader.
parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));

SaxParser error parsing xml encoded string

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><DTYPE>IMG</DTYPE><DTYPE>REF</DTYPE>Above is a short XML string that causes the problem.
It's all one line.
I also tried adding System.getProperty("line.separator") add the
end of each tag so I get :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<DTYPE>IMG</DTYPE>
<DTYPE>REF</DTYPE>But same error. It still crashes after the first <DTYPE></DTYPE> tag.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Parse xml string not file

Hi
Can anyone help me I am trying to parse a xml file that is in a StringBuffer and not a file.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks ;>

You can create a StringReader object from your StringBuffer. Once you have a StringReader object, you can create an InputSource object. Then, you can parse the InputSource with a DocumentBuilder object. I enclosed the code to illustrate. The method printXml is only used to check that the XML string is properly parsed and retrieved.

How to parse characters non ascii in a string

i am stucked in this crictical problem and i don't know how to cater this. I sometimes receive this String ��►☻☺ and sometimes these are non US-ASCII characters. These ��►☻☺ characters are replaced by ????? and is represented as it is. I sometime receive this character �� too. These characters are in ANSI list but i want to receive only US-ASCII. Please help me out that how to identify these characters in the string.

Basically i am getting that string from the user in an sms. The text of the sms is saved in the database.I get that sms from database in string form. now i want to parse the string to identify the non us-ascii characters in the string. This parsing is important because when i try to post data on the url i get the http response code 400 which creates an exception and i get stucked in an infinite while loop.
HttpURLConnection urlcon =null;
String postingdata="&message="+ URLEncoder.encode(ob.getmessage(),"UTF-8")
System.out.println(postingdata);
URL url = new URL("http://someurl");
urlcon = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlcon.setDoOutput(true);
urlcon.setRequestMethod("POST");
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWrite(urlcon.getOutputStream());
wr.write(postingdata);
wr.flush();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlcon.getInputStream()));
rd.close();
wr.close();
