Text Export time format

When I export a playlist from iTunes 8.2.1 using File > Library > Export Playlist, the time column is in an odd format. Can anyone explain how to convert the number iTunes provides into minutes and seconds?

The time is quoted in seconds. Divide it by 60, and save the remainder. For example, if it says 307, the duration of the song is 5 mins, 7 sec.
Another confusing thing in that format is the "size," which is quoted in bytes. You can divide it by 1024 to get kB, and by 1024 again to get MB, which will be a more familiar number.

During export from Discover to Excel, Time Format changes to Number Format

Hi
I have a seconds column which is of number datatype. But in my report, I am converting the number in *0HH:MI:SS* format. For example, I have *4952534 seconds*. So my report is showing *1375:42:14* which is a Time Format. It looks good when I view the data in Discoverer Viewer or Plus. But when I try to export the data to Excel, the time format gets converted to *4952534 seconds*, which is creating problems. So can you suggest on how can I preserve the formatting during export to excel from discoverer.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
Excel will not implement the 0HH:MI:SS data format, it just gets the field as a number. You will have to format the field into text using the calculation from my previous post.

Time Format using text variable with replacement path

Hi Friends,
I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
Regards,
Pattnaik

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Export in Time Format

Hi Experts,
Has anyone tried exporting the data in time format in BPC 7.0 M SP7?
I have tried using ExportFormat=MultiWithHeader and I am getting all the dimensions and also proper time format. But I want only few dimensions in column.
Say like if I have 8 diimensions then in the export file I want only 5 dimensions with data in time format.
I have tried using MVAL also but it is throwing an error i.e. "Column reference exceeds".
Please help me if anyone has done that.
Regards
Prity

This is the FCP X forum - you should ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
Having said that, the render time you mention doesn't sound unreasonable - what are you expecting?
Render times depend on the amount of effects you have and the processor power of your Mac.

I'm having trouble with a Text Field and a Time Format

I have created a form.
There are many text fields for clients to fill out.
One Field have been formatted to enter a time. Ex. 6:00pm.
This works great unless it's a 12:00am time then the field reads 00:00am
I would rather it read 12:00 am.
How can I do this?

Maybe you should put the time format in 24hour instead.

Send numeric value in relative time format to text file

Hi, I'm trying to send a numeric value to a text file (.txt). However, this value must be in Relative Time format, which is displayed correctly in my front panel but not in my text file. The text file displays it as an integer-.
I know that this can be achieved by sending a string instead of a numeric value, but the thing is, I'm sending other numeric values along with this one, which means ALL the data must be numeric in order for Labview to send it, since it does not seem to accept a polimorphic array of data.
Any suggestions?

How to burst reports in text and XML format using API

Hi there,
I need to be able to burst PDF, Excel etc reports and at the same time, generate XML files containing metadata that will accompany the PDF files to their destination. The reason for this, is that the destination requires metadata to class the documents in the content management system.
My issue is that I just cannot get bursting to XML, text or HTML format right. There is very little documentation available around creating reports in these formats using the API's and perhaps someone who has gotten this right can, once and for all, solve this issue where others can find the solution.
Alright, here is some sample supporting documentation (For the sake of the question, I have removed the bursting to PDF, Excel etc. formats and I am just focusing on the XML output):
In my code for bursting, I make use of the following constructor...
DocumentProcessor dp =
new DocumentProcessor("ControlFile.xml", "TestData.xml", "temp");
The ControlFile.xml looks like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
_<xapi:request select="/DATA/LIST_BRANCH/BRANCH">
___<xapi:delivery>
______<xapi:filesystem id="dst" output="C:\${BRANCH_NAME}.xml"/>
___</xapi:delivery>
___<xapi:document output-type="text" delivery="dst">
______<xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="Template.xsl"></xapi:template>
___</xapi:document>
_</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
The data in my TestData.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DATA>
___<LIST_BRANCH>
______<BRANCH>
__________<BRANCH_NAME>BRANCH 1</BRANCH_NAME>
______________ OTHER IRRELEVANT DATA
______</BRANCH>
______<BRANCH>
__________<BRANCH_NAME>BRANCH 2</BRANCH_NAME>
______________ OTHER IRRELEVANT DATA
______</BRANCH>
___</LIST_BRANCH>
</DATA>
In my ControlFile.xml, I reference my XSL file called Template.xsl which should do my transformations into XML. That file looks like:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
__<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes">
__<xsl:template match="/">
____<METADATA>
_______<BRANCH>
___________<xsl:value-of select="BRANCH_NAME"/>
_______</BRANCH>
____</METADATA>
__</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have tried about forty variations of the ControlFile.xml and Template.xsl and have had no luck. Among the various error messages that the compiler has reported to me, these are the most common:
[101507_055953158][][EXCEPTION] Error while generating the Document...
[101507_055953158][][EXCEPTION] org.xml.sax.SAXException: element metadata is not supported yet.
[101507_061037084][][EXCEPTION] Error while generating the Document...
[101507_061037094][][EXCEPTION] oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected.
I have managed in some cases to get the API code to compile, but the outputs are empty 0kb files.
I have also exported an XSL-FO file from word, but the output is always PDF even with tweaking.
I have wasted about 9 hours on this problem and it is driving me mad! If anyone has ideas, tips and/or solutions, they would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Read from text file: time to number

Ok short question. I've been using labview for logging data to a text file. I made it comma separated and looks like this:
absolute time, relative time (since start exp), channel 1 data, channel 2 data.
Well, I can sucessfully read from textfile and I'd like the user to be able to view data on a graph.
Problem is, the 2 columns with the time are not correctly changed to numbers, this might have to do with how I saved them:
I used format date/time string to save time, and used ":" between hours and seconds.
So my question: How do I solve this? Can I convert this string to a correct time and date for graphing, or how should I change logging so it
can be converted to a number.

I believe it depends on the time format you're using.
This is my example:
While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

MojikumiElement Tagged Text export junk in InDesign CS6

Hello,
Our InDesign Tagged Text exports have suddenly been infested with large amounts of the following code, repeating over and over. We've managed to munge it out on the other side of the process, but can't figure out how it got there in the first place. It's making the files take much longer to process, but otherwise seems to have no effect whatsoever. My understanding is that I shouldn't be seeing anything Mojikumi related unless I'm using the Japanese version of ID/CS, or embedding Japanese characters.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to make it stop?

Hi Steve,
I created a book in InDesign for traditional print. Now I need to convert it
to a epub file for use on a Kindle¹.
So my workflow is just in InDesign CS6, then I create a new document in the
book¹ format. Then I import the InDesign docs into the book¹ dialogue
window. You can choose the preflight book¹ option in the book¹ dialogue
box and choose to see the errors as a PDF, which is what I¹ve been doing. I
have errors on every page of the proposed epub¹ file.
If I then drag that epub file to my Kindle preveiwer, it immediately says
that it failed to compile the book file¹, and there is nothing shown.
Thanks,
Nick.

CR Server XI, Scheduled Text export not word wrapping.

I have a little Crystal Reports XI server that I use for scheduling reports. One of these reports is a text export. Within the report are severall fields that are free text fields in the database. I have a SQL view that turns the fields into VarChar(8000). Each of the free text fields is set up in the report as a subreport so that when exported to plain text, it will retain the proper page width. When the report is run from within Crystal Reports XI and exported to plain text everything looks as it should. However when I run it as an object in Crystal Reports Server, the subreports end up with a page width that is about 2 inches too wide. Everything else is the same, except for those free text fields in subreports.
Any help would be appreciated.

Alan, I unchecked "Suppress" and removed the suppression criteria for detail sections b, c, d, and e. On my pc, preview shows report as:
Detail a
Detail b
Detail c
Detail d
Detail e
When I run it on the server using Character Separated format, all Detail sections are displayed now -- but they are displayed one right after another in a single record, rather than each on a separate line:
Detail a Detail b Detail c Detail d Detail e
Any ideas?

Validation on data and time format

Hi
In a flat file a date and time fill in but user. And the data and time format should always be fill in with the format <DDMMYYYY> <HHMMSS>
is there a FM which check whether user has put the wrong date format such as <YYYYMMDD> or <MMDDYYYY> instead for the the one mention above.
Please advise whether there is a FM which check on the format on the time stamp also.
Note: the input of the data and time is done by the user.
Thank

How do you change the date and time format in Pages

I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.

Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

Time format

I was recently given a MacBook Air 11" for my birthday (lucky me!) and chose English as the system language. I chose the date and time settings to follow the European system (I live in France) i.e. date: 28/9/2010 and time: 20:40, but Mail displays the time as 8:40pm, which I find totally annoying.
I know it probably has to do with the language choice as my MacBook Pro, which has French as its system language, displays the time the European way - logical, no?
Anyway, is there a way of changing this format?
Thanks for any help.

Hello starfishy,
I hope this response comes not too late:
Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats. There you will see three sections entitled Dates, Times and Numbers. Press Customize in the Times section, and you will see the predefined formats for all time variants used throughout the system -- short, medium, long and full. Change all these time formats; each item has a drop-down list showing you the options. I changed the hour to 01-24, and completely deleted the AM/PM. When you restart Mail, it should now display 20:40 as you wanted.

Wrong DATE-TIME FORMAT among REPORTS NOTIFICATION EMAILs

Dear all,
I create a report request with url
https://ocixxxx2.oci.xxcl.net/reports/rwservlet?>destype=printer&desformat=PDF&server=rep_xxxxx2_orahome&userid=ixxxxxx/xxxxxxx@saas&notifysuccess=IASL&notifyfailure=IASL&report=R1000R13.rdf&jobname=R1000R13&desname=HPLaserJet4150PCL6
Email notification was generated with wrong date format .
It's expected to be in UK English but it shows encoded text , may be random. I route it to another email servers such that find the date time is in chinese characters . That caused problem on original email server in which was not supported
Could any expert please advice ?
Warmly
Edited by: MosielleKwan on 2010年2月26日下午11:31

It's indeed an expected behavior.
When a Reports Server starts on a Windows machine, it likely detect the Windows Regional Settings in order to use it when needed later. This let the Reports Server communicate in the same format/way the Server machine uses. For example, if the System / Application Server administrator prefers to use the Windows (on which the Application Server is installed) with Chinese Regional Options, it is normal that the Reports Server send the Notification Email with a "Date/Time" Format matches the Windows.
Thence, you like to get English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email, it is required to change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English and restart the Reports Server and restart the corresponding compoent. This will let the Reports Server detect the change and will send the Notification Email(s) then with English/Western Date and Time formats.
If English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email but still have the Windows Regional Settings set to Chinese, you can implement it
that :-
1. Change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English.
2. Restart the Reports Server and restart others.
3. Change the Windows Regional Settings back from English to Chinese. .
With these 3 steps, the Reports Server will keep sending the Notification Emails with English/Western Date and Time format, and maintain original settings.
