String-formatting markup search

The properties for string formatting are many and could support a parsing function that would take a string containing markup and produce a formatted string. Has anyone done this or know of any code available to implement this?
I would like to be able to write a string like this:
<color: red>Error: </color>An error occured. Please check all cable connections.
and produce a display like this:
Error: An error occurred. Please check all cable connections.
Which markup language to use is TBD. Just looking for starters.

Well, in fact, that is a great idea and exactly what I hope to do. I just am wondering if somebody has already done it.

String formatting with Write-Output

I have a FileInfo object that I want to print the full file name member value.
I tried this:
Write-Output "Scanning $file.FullName..."
However that just prints out:
"Scanning c:\foo.txt.FullName..."
What is the proper way to format the FileInfo.FullName using Write-Output (In C#, I would use String.Format)?
thanks

Wrap $file.FullName in $(), such as $($file.FullName). Read more by searching for the subexpression operator.

How to check the current time with a Stored time in string format

Hi All
I would like to compare the system time with an existing time values which is allready there in String format..
i mean i would like to check if the SysTime is inbetween 6:30 and 14:00
I accomplished this in Oracle ..
Select 'Y' from dual where to_date(to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI '),'HH24:MI') between to_date('06:30','HH24:MI') and to_date('14:00','HH24:MI')
But instead of checking the DB each and every time , the perfomance would be better if we can do this in our java code..
Could some one provide me with a code to accomplish the above scenario..
Thanks in advance..,.,

import java.util.Calendar;
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); // gets the current date and time to millisec
Calendar earlyTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
Calendar lateTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
if (rightNow.compareTo(earlyTime)> 0 && rightNow.compareTo(lateTime) < 0){
// do something
}Try this.

How do I keep from highlighting terms in the search bar when I modify a string in the search bar--other than by clicking three to five times?

I'm not talking about terms in the search results; I'm talking about terms in the search string in the search bar in the upper right corner. (Mine is set to use only Google.) When I've searched on a string and decide to modify the string for a second search (say, changing "Spanish architecture" to "Spanish architectural style"), clicking at the end of the search string first highlights the entire string and then, as I keep clicking, highlights various parts of the string. Sometimes it takes five clicks to get the highlighting to go away so I can start back-deleting normally instead of by entire word or phrase. The Google homepage doesn't do this, whereas all search engines in Firefox do it, so it's clearly a Firefox annoyance.

Left click ONCE to get it's attention. After a moment, then do your work.

Convert a date in String format to a Date

Hi,
How can I convert a date in String format to a Date object?
I have tried:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.sql.*;
public class casa {
public static Connection con = null;
public static Statement s = null;
public static String sql = null;
public static String mydate = "01.01.2001";
/** Creates a new instance of casa */
public casa() {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
try {
DateFormat shortFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = shortFormat.parse(mydate);
//Open Database
con = getConnection();
s = con.createStatement();
sql = "select date1 from table1 where date1 <= '"+date+"'";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String aba = rs.getString("datum");
System.out.println("New Datum = "+aba);
} catch (Exception ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
closeConnection(s, con);
//Connection
private static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null;
String user ="aouzi";
String passe ="aouzi";
String url = "jdbc:db2:EjbTest";
try {
//Datenbanktreiber laden
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
//Verbindung herstellen
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passe);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
} catch(SQLException e){}
return con;
//close Connection
private static void closeConnection(Statement s, Connection con) {
try {
s.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
I'm getting the following errors:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0180N
The syntax of the representation of a date/time of day value as character sequence is false. .SQLSTATE=22007

I'm pretty sure it won't understand what date.toString() returns. If you know what format the database understands, you do it like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); // e.g. 18-Apr-02
String datestring = sdf.parse(date);
and use that instead of date in your sql string. Some databases understands it if you do
"to_date('18-Apr-02')"
so you could include that in your sql string as well..
You could also try to make it a java.sql.Date and hope your jdbc driver knows how to convert it to a string that the database understands if you don't know the format:
con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select date1 from table1 where date1 <= ?");
ps.setDate(new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

Non-numeric String formatting

Ok, I understand about numeric string formating (NumberFormat). But what I need help with is string formatting.
For example, I'm working on an app with fixed-length records. Let's take a name field. I need the string "John Doe" formatted to a 40-character field, right-justified. Can someone point me to a class or a URL with information on this.
Sorry for asking such an elementary question.

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang.html
There is a class called StringUtils.
You only have to write:
String rightJustified = StringUtils.rightPad("John Doe", 40);
If you don't find something in the JDK look at Jakarta. They have a lot of useful stuff.

Problem in java.lang.String.format()

Dear Experts,
I tried to display a double value with leading spaces with the following statements:

System.out.println( String.format("%17.2f", val));They worked in void main(), but didn't in a method of a class. The following error message was found while compiling:

Not sure if this has got anything to do with it, but
the format() method was added to String in Java 5.0.
Maybe you are using an older version in that second
case?You're right. It works when I've changed it from 1.4 (default) to 1.5. Thank you very much.

Convert HH:mm:ss String format.

Hi,
I have a formula in webI to display Milliseconds to HH:mm:ss and is in String format.
Is there a way to convert to date or number format?.
Also, how to calculate average of Max and Min time?.
Thanks,
Jothi

Hi Jyothi,
To take a average time do following-
1) Convert Min Time and Max Time into Seconds.
MaxSec=ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];1;2))*60*60+ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];4;2))*60+ToNumber(Substr([MaxTime];7;2))
MinSec=ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];1;2))*60*60+ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];4;2))*60+ToNumber(Substr([MinTime];7;2))
2) calculate approximate Avg seconds-
AvgSec=([MaxSec]+[MinSec])/2
3) Convert AvgSec in to hh:mm:ss.
AvgTime=Floor([AvgSec]/3600 )+":"+Floor(Mod([AvgSec];3600)/60)+":"+Mod(Mod([AvgSec];3600);60)
Hope this help.
Thanks,
Anuj

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:
☺AW(⌂özßHAA
Å\(÷. . . .You may also want to have a look at { dbms_lob | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i1015792 } "The DBMS_LOB package provides subprograms to operate on BLOBs, CLOBs, NCLOBs, BFILEs, and temporary LOBs."

Need help in the String Format method

really need help in string.Format method. I would like to show the s in two digit numbers.
for example:
if s is below 10 then display *0s*
the expecting result is 01,02,03.. 09,10,11....
I tried this method, somehow i got the errors msg. pls advise. thx.
public void setDisplay(String s) {
String tmpSS=String.format("%02d",s);
this.ss.setText(tmpSS);
Edited by: bluesailormoon on May 19, 2008 10:30 AM

Apparently, you expect the string to consist of one or two digits. If that's true, you could do this:String tmpSS = (s.length() == 1) ? ("0" + s) : s; or this: String tmpSS = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(s));

Is there any String format class available in J2ME?

Hello,
I am looking for a Formating class which should format a string. For example ( This is Java SE code):
int num = 999;
String str = " is my lucky number.";
String s = String.Format("The Number : %d %s", num, str);I could not find any formatter class nor any direct api from String/StringBuffer class to format a string.
Any suggestion on this is highly appreciated.
Thank You.

DK

I get excactly the same problem.
If compile the the JSP in Netbeans it works fine, however when Tomcat attempts to compile it into a servlet at runtime, I get the same error as described.
This is the line in JSP that fails:
<code>Some more text <%= String.format("%s","Bizarre") %> </code>However this one works OK:
<code>Some more text <%= "Bizarre".substring(3) %> </code>Its almost as if Tomcat is compiling under JDK 1.4.2 or something but I don't have any other JDK or JRE installed; only 1.5.
I suspect it may be a Tomcat setting that's causing a 1.4 code compliance.
In Netbeans, if I go to the project properties -> Sources, at the bottom is the "Source Level" drop down list. If I change this to 1.4 and clean and build the whole project I get the same error when the jsp (or any class with this construct) is compiled by NetBeans.
Note: I am using the Netbeans 5.0 and Tomcat and 5.5.9 co-bundle which I downloded from the Sun website.
Can anyone help?
