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.

Change Pick List Output Format with automated Output format froTO creation

hi.,
When creating TO for delivery using VL06P or LT03 there is no opportunity to print the Company Custom Format(X1) of the pick list.
But if it is reprinted in LT31, Print Code X1(Company defined picking list Output format) can be selected. This is our custom formatted TO output format.
The delivery address is on the document, so if X1 format is used with the automated output from TO creation, Warehouse personel will have the Hardcopy of the delivery address.
Question: How can i have the Print Code X1 to default when i am creating delivery using VL06P or LT03.
All help is much appreciated.

Data format problem with Write to Spreedsheet File

I have a problem with the data format with Write to spredsheet file.
I have an N*3 array, where the 3 elements in each row should has different length. When I used Write to spreedsheet file,
it can only save the three data in one format. How can I save them in the format of "%0.8f %0.3f %0.2f"?
Thanks for your help.

Hi powerplay,
another solution may be to convert column-wise using "number to fractional string", then interleaving resulting arrays and again using "array to spreadsheet string" (with "space" as separator).

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Build string.Format parameters with a loop

I need to dynamically build the parameters for the string.Format function dynamically in a loop.
So rather than coding it like this:
string result = string.Format(formatString, crits[0], crits[1], crits[2], crits[3], crits[4]);
I need to add the parameters dynamically in a loop like this:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
formatString = "T{0}{1}-R{2}{3}-{4}";
sb.Append(formatString);
foreach (var item in crits)
// some logic here to determine if this param should be passed in
sb.Append(", " + item);
string result = string.Format(formatString);
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks.

No, what you said the other day was to add a column to the table, but the parameters must come from one source and the where clause must come from another source and I have to dynamically mash them together. the same set of parameters might be used
with many different syntax in the where clause.
The output for a where clause might look like this:
(LINE_NO = 'TG-P1269') AND (GEO_LOCATION = 'T155N R96W, Sec. 10')
OR
(LINE_NO = 'TG-G1183') AND (GEO_LOCATION = 'T157N R94W, Sec. 20')
OR
(LINE_NO = 'TG-G1182') AND (GEO_LOCATION = 'T157N R94W, Sec. 20')
OR... etc x 1000
but to simplify it lets just work with:
(GEO_LOCATION = 'T157N R94W, Sec. 20')
which I achieved like this:
string formatString = "T{0}{1} R{2}{3}, Sec. {4}";
string result = string.Format(formatString, crits[0], crits[1], crits[2], crits[3], crits[4]);
However, at run time I don't know how many params to pass in or which ones. I might have to do this:
string result = string.Format(formatString, crits[2], crits[3], crits[4]);
or this:
string result = string.Format(formatString, crits[3]);
or something else.
I would be able to determin which params to pass in in the loop, but of course, that's not how the string function works.

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.

Invalid filename from Format Payment Instruction with Text Output conc prog

we are using EBS 12.1.3 and when producing an EFT file using the Format Payment Instruction with Test Output concurrent program, we are getting a file with an extra ".out" extension
for exampe DE_CE_o81527.out.out.
Seems like the IBY Payments Engine is using the concurrent program output file name and appending it to the prefix we have given.

Format Payment Instructions with Text Output issue

Hi All,
We have requirement like don't want print checks in oracle, just process the payment, generate the document number(check number) in oracle and send the data file to third party system. It takes care the check printing.
For this I developed e-text xml template, created the payment format of type Disbursement Payment Instruction, attached to bank account and Payment process profile.
When I am processing payment it is submitting 'Format Payment Instructions with Text Output' instead of 'Format Payment Instructions' but that program extracting the previous check information which not related to supplier and as well as payments batch.
Please let me know what would be the issue?
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Javvaji,
Please check the following steps,
1) Created XML Pubblisher template and attached the .rtf (Type - eText-Outbound, Default Output Type - eText)
2) In Payable Manager responsibility Create a Payment Format ->
Setup-> Payment Administrator-> Formats (Add XML Publisher Template created in step1)
3) Setup-> Payments -> check existing Bank & Bank Branches
4) Setup-> Payments -> Bank Accounts -> Create the payment Document Number
5) Attach the Bank account to a valid supplier: Payables – Suppliers -> Entry
6) Now to create the payment Process Profile (PPP)
Navigation : go to Payables -> Setup-> Payment Administrator
7) Now to attach everything (PPP,format,document etc.) to the Template
First step to Create a “Template”
Navigation: Payables,Vision Operations -> Payments -> Entry -> Payments Manager
8) Then go to Tab “Payment Process Requests” Then click on “Submit Single Request”
9) Check View -> Requests
No output generated in 'Format Payment Instruction' program.
which program I can get the eText output?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sagarika

prs.setContentHandler(saxUms);
prs.parse(intt);
===================

Does anybody have an idea to solve the problem?

A scan from string function can be used as per the attachment. The double \ ('\\') is in the format string in order to interpret the '\' characters in your input string as literal characters and not special formatting.

Formatting the write to meaurement file

I would like to format the write to measurement file.vi in such a way so that I get the format as shown in the attached datalogger.txt. I am currently getting lot of unnecessary information as shown in data.xls file.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Mozill,
The best solution for you will be to use the Write to Text File VI in combination with the Concatenate String VI (both located in the Strings pallette). You can use the Tab constant between different strings on the same row At the end of each line simply add the "End of Line" constant and during the next iteration of your loop you will start at a new line. Open up example finder in LabVIEW by to Help»Find Examples
Then search for "text" and look at the Write to Text File VI.
Hope this helps!
