Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?

Hi !
Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?
Example:
@VAR contains the following text "ABCDEFGHIJKLM"
I'am seaching for FGH, it start on pos. 6 en ends on pos 8.
How can I get these numbers 6 and 8 ?
So, I can use them in the MID(text,start,len) function.
Thanks!

Hi Sooraj,
I'll explain more in detail:
From a web-service I get a variable called @Spec.
This variable contains the following:
"MOTORTYPE[CR]D-QW1234[LF]PART[CR]1234-FRD-X[LF]"
or
"MOTORTYPE[CR]ABC[LF]PART[CR]E-435[LF]"
I need the values behind MOTORTYPE[CR] and behind PART[CR]
But youll see that the positions of these values are different each time.
If there is a way to get the (start) position of "MOTORTYPE[CR]" or "PART[CR]" and the (end) position of the first "[LF]" behind that,
then I could use the MID() function to get the correct values.
The values will be displayed in a table view (between other fields).
An ABAP-call/function wont work . . . how should I invoke this within a table column/field object ? (system action ?)

You mean, active windows other than the program you're running, or windows the program puts there? And a real desktop (like where MyComputer is), or a desktop pane?

Finding the position of an integer in a string

I haven't done much Java programming for the past 3 months, but I'm trying to get back into it now, but I'm having some trouble. I'm trying to break up a string of integers, to store each individual integer in an array.
So, if I had something like 132412344, a for loop would put them all into separate arrays.
I know that there is a charAt() function, but is there something like that for integers?

Do you know whether every single character in the string is an integer?
If it is, then toCharArray will get you the array. Then you could loop through it to parse each character into an int. You can use Character.digit to do that.
I doubt that there's any method that automatically splits a string and returns the integers represented by the characters in a string. It seems like too specialized a method. But I could be wrong.

How to retrieve the position of 2 cursors in the same plot?

Hi, I have actually 3 different questions.
1. I would like to know if there is a way to get the cursor positions of two cursors? I want to use these values in another part of the program. I have via the property node of the plot gotten the x-value of one of the cursors, now I need the x-value of the other cursor.
2. I would like to be able use a control to switch between the x scale of a plot to be logarithmic or normal. Is this possible?
3. How can build an executable that is not executed when I start the VI? I didn't have problem doing this when I was using version 7.1, but now I don't find the option not to run the VI on startup.
Any help on any of these problems would be highly appreciated!

(1) See image for two possible solutions. The bottom solution is useful if you have many cursors and want to get all positions:
(2) see answer above.
(3) There is a bug in LabVIEW 8.20 that does not allow to turn off "run when opened" for built applications.

While scrolling IE 11 doesn't update (on time) the position of an element inside the viewport

Hi,
It's essential to check the following jsFiddle demo http://jsfiddle.net/rbtbar/1dudpeox/ to see the issue.
If you scroll the viewport, the position of the fixed element is not immediately updated, which makes a bad impression to the users. It happens only in IE. Neither Chrome nor FF got this problem.
Regards,
Robert

Hello rbtbar,
There are many web designs which don't support several web browsers. Maybe they have used un-supported script for making their web design which don't supports IE. Otherwise, if it is not, then your problem must get fixed if you reset IE settings.
I searched alot and found some links:
Link: https://github.com/jsfiddle/jsfiddle-issues/issues/311
Also
Link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15260947/why-jsfiddle-is-not-rendering-at-all-in-ie8-and-previous-versions
So we can clearly understand it is not supporting IE currently! Which means, there is
NO fault with IE. Similarly, it may NOT work on
IE 11 too, due to their CSS. According to your description, I can just say "IE 11 is partially supported"

I get "there are non ASCII characters in the local part of the recipient's address" when trying to send emails as BCC. email addresses are all good!

I used to send out christmas greetings from my biz to groups of 20 customers, in BCC format. all addresses are good, but the emails don't get sent now because of the supposed ASCII problem.

Hello Friends
After research , I could also find another way to check the existence of a node .We can even use CHOOSE to check the existence.
<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="(/mynode)">
          your action if the mynode is found
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
                action if mynode is not found

How to delete characters to the right of the cursor position

On a PC, the <Delete> key deletes characters to the right of the cursor, while <Bkspace> does the same for characters on the left.
On the MAC, the <Delete> key removes only characters to the left of where the cursor is, and there is no <Bkspace> key.
Although <fn> plus <Delete> can achieve this 'rightward' delete, is there a way to do it using a single key on the MacBook?
Thanks. Replies appreciated.

Hi Stevenray1
You have two delete keys on your Mac keyboard. The one in the place of the "backspace" key does indeed remove characters to the left of the cursor. But if you look at your keyboard there is a second one in the set of keys above the cursor keys. On my keyboard that delete key also has an arrow with an X in it pointing to the right. Use that one and you'll see that it will remove characters to the right of the cursor.

How to determine the geometric bounds of characters in ID CS3

I am working on a script that needs to know the positions/bounds of the text hyperlinks on a page. Although you can get bounds for page items such as text frames it doesn't seem possible to get the bounds of characters, ranges of characters or even hyperlinks. It doesn't seem right that you should have to calculate the position of specific characters. Am I missing something?
Many thanks in advance.

Chris,
have you looked at the properties:
horizontalOffset and
endHorizontalOffset
for a character/word ?

Hi Gurus,
We are currently facing an issue in XI with Non-English characters. When we are trying to process Non-English characters in the payload , they are getting converted in to Junk characters at the receiver end. This scenario inbound to SAP ( File to Idoc scenario ) . Is there a way that Non-English characters can be handled in XI.
