Truncated variable names in solver

when many variables are created in the solver , upon entering the numeric mode are not displayed correctly , only 1 character and then three points is read, making it impossible to identify which variable it is , for example if more than one starts with the same letter: " S1c " and " S2c " are shown as " S ..." and " S ... "
the equations:
pic
if I choose only one equation, and therefore few variables , the names are displayed correctly:
pic
if I choose 2 equations , there are a total of 8 variables and groups in 2 columns and variable names are truncated:
pic
pic
as seen in this last image , you can not distinguish S1c and S2c .
Obviously S1c is the first and the second S2c but this becomes much more complex when they increase the number of variables and equations.
is there any way to change the view type ?
sorry for my bad English.
thank you very much in advance.

OK, simple statement first:
Integer does not equal string.
You also seem to be tossing around "runtime" and "static" somewhat liberally. Once you wire an integer (be it a control or block diagram constant) to the case structure's selector, the cases can only take on integer values. This is by design. If you wire a string, the case items take on string values. If you wire an enum, the case items take on the enumeration values. Once you've defined a case structure's cases you can't change them at "runtime". This, by definition, is different code.
That said, it seems to me that you're looking for an enum.

Tcsh shell "alias" command seems to be truncating file names

Terminal Utility: As a Unix geek, on trying to port a large # of tcsh shell scripts to MacOSX (10.5.6), I have found a strange compatibility issue with the tcsh script "alias" command. After entering tcsh sub-shell from bash (by typing tcsh at the bash prompt, or by setting tcsh as the default shell), and defining the alias "surf_run" by sourcing a script containing the the line:
alias surf_run 'source /Users/username/SgiNew/molsurf/csh/radix.csh'
subsequent use of the "surf_run" alias (typing surf_run at the tcsh command prompt) seems to cause the system to truncate the name of the file to about 20 characters. The radix.csh file is actually present at the defined path, but the system seems to be truncating the file name to the last 16 letters or so in this case, and thus returns the following error message:
: No such file or directory.rf/csh/radix.csh
as if it is looking for a file rf/csh/radix.csh (which is not there, because the filename has been truncated)
The number of characters retained actually varies from case to case. Another similarly obtained error message had 30 characters retained in the file name:
: No such file or directory.rtoz/rtoz/rxtst/unix/login.csh
Q: Is there any system parameter or environment variable that I can modify that will allow the tcsh shell alias command to recognize properly file paths with large numbers of characters?

I cannot reproduce this error. A long alias string works fine for me. But the error messages -- as you reproduce them here -- do not look like the string is truncated. It looks like the "No such file or directory" message is being written on top of the string. Like maybe a new line is being swallowed somewhere.
I suggest taking further inquiries to the Unix forum, under "Mac OS X Technologies".

Variable names display problem

I have three transparent text captions that are set to display from slide 1 through to slide 32 (using the option "display for rest of project").
The variables I am displaying are:
In the header:
$$cpInfoProjectName$$ - displays the name of the lesson module.
$$cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel$$ - displays the name of the current slide.
And in the footer:
Page $$cpInfoCurrentSlide$$ of $$rdinfoSlideCount$$ - displays the current slide number and the total number of slides in the lesson.
The problem is that the variable names display long enough to look somewhat unslightly. It might be for about 1/3 of a second but it is long enough to screen capture (attached just in case I am not clear enough in my description) this appearance before they resolve into their values.
This is rather annoying, since a student will see this occur for every slide.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Perhaps using a text caption is not the best way to display these variables?
Hmm... I wonder if creating a small persistant flash insert would be better?

I have seen that aswell Shawn. It seems like the variables are a bit slow to be populated with the correct value and then it will show the $$variable_name$$.
A Flash component would solve it and it won't take more than 5 minutes to make them all.

Hello kwkengineer,

LMS 4.2.3 variable name not show in drop-down list

Hi all,
I am trying to use performance threshold to trigger a script whild device CPU or Memory high.
There is a default threshold template called "CPU Utilization" and "Memory Utilization".
After I choose either one, there should be one or two variable name in drop down list.
But I only see "Select MIB Variable" in the list.
I try to create a template with exact the same variable but still got nothing in the list.
The strange thing is that no all the default template has this problem.
I can see variable name under some template like "Device Availability" or "Port Availability"
And this is not browser problem because I try both IE and Firefox.
Any one how to solve this?

Thanks for your advice.

ANy propositions?

Give a checkbox a variable name.

I am using a Flash form to add/edit records in an MS Access
Database via ASP. It's working great for all of the text fields,
because I just refer to the variable names in my ASP script and it
updates the corresponding field in the Access database. However, I
have a checkbox (yes/no) field in my database which I can't seem to
update using a checkbox in a Flash form. I assume that if I could
assign the checkbox in the Flash Form a variable name and then make
checked = -1 and unchecked = 0 (as it does in Access), then I'd be
in the money.
So in short, does anybody know how to do the following in
Actionscript 2:
a) Give a checkbox a variable name (like the one a Text Input
field can be given in "Properties")
b) Make checked = -1 and unchecked = 0 for the checkbox in
Flash?
Thanks so much!!!

Start a new Flash file and place a checkbox and a dynamic
textfield on the stage.
Give the checkbox an
instance name of cBox
Give the textfield a
variable name of cBoxStatus and an
instance name of cBS
Then plant the following code in the timeline, play the
movie, click the checkbox a few times. You can read the textfield
directly for the values you say you want (0,-1) via: cBoxStatus or
Number(cBS.text);
If you don't want the textfield to be visible, there are a
number of ways you can hide it. I'll let you work that out...
something to think about and solve--don't think too hard
though--it's not difficult.

Search/Replace for/with php variable name

Hi all.
I have just updated from Dreamweaver 5 to 5.5 and now I am missing a very handy functionality.
What I want to do is to replace all occurences of $a with $b.
In Dreamweaver 5 that was very easy by using "Find and replace":
Find in: All open documents
Search: Sourcecode
Find: $a
Replace: $b
Active options: Match case and Match whole word !!!!
Now in Dreamweaver 5.5 the option "Match whole word" is automatically disabled as soon as I enter a $ (dollar) in the search field.
I assume this has something to do with regular expressions but I do NOT check the option "Regular expression" in the search and replace dialog.
Is this a bug?
What are my options now.
If I don't have the possibility to to tick "Match whole word" my search does also replace all occurrences of $abc and $answer etc. with $b.
Thank you for your help

I have Dreamweaver 5 and 5.5 running parallel on my computer.
I can confirm that the way I described and used to use is working on Dreamweaver 5.
I was the person who informed Murray that Dreamweaver CS5 and CS5.5 both behave the same way. I have just checked as far back as CS3, and it also disables "Match whole word" when you enter a dollar sign in the Find field of the Find and Replace dialog box. In fact, that option is disabled whenever you enter any nonalphanumeric character (except an underscore) in that field. It's not limited to dollar signs.
Why it's not disabled in your version of CS5 is a mystery.
However, to solve your problem, you don't need either a regex or "Match whole word". Simply type the name of your PHP variable followed by a space into the Find field. Also add a space after the name of the variable you're using as the replacement.
What "Match whole word" does under the hood is to use a regular expression to find a word break. As long as you leave a space between your variables and any following code, simply adding the space to your search will do the trick.
However, if you have cases where a variable is followed by a comma, closing parenthesis, or some other character, you will need to use the following regex:
Find: \$variable_name\b
Replace: $new_name
The \$ looks for a dollar sign. The variable_name matches the literal text of the variable name (replace it with the actual text you're looking for). The \b matches a word break in exactly the same way as "Match whole word".
In the Replace field, $new_name is the literal name of the new variable.

BaOpenfile with variable name

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to use baOpenFile() to
open a file using a variable name. Like selectImg = coco.jpg
getURL('lingo: baOpenFile(_movie.path & selectImg ,
"Normal")');
this is the command in the flash file. If I use a specific
name like GA-VE4-IMG1.jpg instead of the variable name it's work.
the file browser of xp open and display the file. What's
weird is when I use the variable without the " " instead of a file
name it open windows explorer ..... wooh! any clue on how to solve
my problem.

it does'nt work, nothing happend. Don't forget that I'm in
flash so if my variable is
selectImg = _movie.path & "GA-VE4-IMG1.jpg" the result is
0. And I cannot use the specific name cause it come to the point
before. If I use direclty
getURL('lingo: baOpenFile(_movie.path &
"GA-VE4-IMG1.jpg", "Normal")'); it's working but it has to be
dynamic cause if I have 50 images, i don't want to use 50 line of
script. Right now
_global.selectImg = etage + "-" + systeme + "-IMG1.jpg";
it use the floor (etage) variable and system (systeme)
variable to define the name of the file to open. ex:
GA-VE1-IMG1.jpg = (garage)-(VE1 system)-Image1.jpg. When I go to an
other system i use the same code and the file change dynamicly to
GA-A2-IMG2.jpg etc.. like that If i have 10-25 systems, i dont have
to touche the code again. All i want to do is to lauch the jpg. I
was using the getURL within flash but bacause it's in director
getURL does'nt work anymore. BuddyAPI is a good xtra but if I can't
use variable it's not that good.

How to output variable names and units used in binary file

My colleague will be giving me binary files (*.dat) generated from within LabView. There are over 60 variables (columns) in the binary output file. I need to know the variable names and units, which I believe he already has set up in LabView. Is there a way for him to output a file containing the variable name and unit, so that I'll know what the binary file contains? He can create an equivalent ASCII file with a header listing the variable name, but it doesn't list the units of each variable.
As you can tell I am not a LabView user so I apologize if this question makes no sense.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi KE,
an ASCII file (probably csv formatted) is just text - and contains all data that is (intentially) written to. There is no special function to include units or whatever!
Your collegue has to save those information the same way he saves the names and the values...
(When writing text files he could use WriteTextFile, FormatIntoFile, WriteToSpreadsheetFile, even WriteBinaryFile could be used...)

Storing a variable name in a variable

I need to be able to store a variable name in a second variable and then be able to access the first variable by calling the second one. Something like:
var1 varchar2(10);
var2 varchar2(4);
var2 := 'var1';
dbms_output.put_line(var2);
where instead of outputing the string 'var1', var2 would essentially be replaced by the identifier var1.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don;t know whether this will solve your purpose , just tried something! Hope it gives some idea to you
declare
v1 varchar2(10);
v2 varchar2(10);
procedure swap(x in out varchar2,y in varchar2)
as
begin
x := y;
end;
begin
v1 := 'Hi';
v2 := 'Hello';
swap(v2,v1);
dbms_output.put_line('value is' ||v2);
end;
O/P : value isHi

Same variable name causes major issues.....

I would like to get some input and possible direction on the issue below... I am new to PL/SQL. Thanks in advance.....
..... The system is in the middle of processing a “For” step, i.e. a given “For” step is incomplete.
..... The script instructs the system to process a second “For” step with the same “for-loop variable” as the incomplete “For” step.
When the above takes place, the system processes the second “For” step incorrectly. Instead of starting at the first value in the second “For” step’s list of values, the system begins in the middle of the value list.
I need to change the current implementation so that if a "For" loop is encountered that has the same “loop variable” as a “For” loop already being executed, the “state” of the previous “For” step is discarded, and the state for the new “For” step is initialized to the first value in its list.
-- Used for "for" steps
TYPE for_list is table of varchar2(4000) index by binary_integer;
TYPE for_loop_state is record (
list for_list,
next_index integer
TYPE for_loops_list is table of for_loop_state index by steps.output_param%TYPE;
all_for_loops for_loops_list;
procedure for_step(list_string IN varchar2, ret_var_name IN varchar2, end_for_label IN varchar2) is
state for_loop_state;
end_idx number;
list_value varchar2(4000);
begin
pkg_util.log('ret_var_name value after begin: ' || ret_var_name, 'I');
-- get the current for list state, based on its output variable name
if all_for_loops.exists(ret_var_name) then
state := all_for_loops(ret_var_name);
else
state.next_index := 0;
list_value := parse_next_param(list_string, 1, end_idx);
-- end_idx is thrown away; for loops only have 1 input parameter (the list)
state.list := get_for_list(list_value);
all_for_loops(ret_var_name) := state;
end if;
if state.next_index < state.list.count then
pkg_session_values.put(ret_var_name, state.list(state.next_index));
all_for_loops(ret_var_name).next_index := state.next_index + 1;
else
all_for_loops.delete(ret_var_name);
jump(end_for_label);
end if;
end;

There is so much of your code hidden from view it is impossible to tell you anything other than perhaps suggest a methodology.
Create a single variable with a known value and use dbms_output to view it as it steps through each piece of the puzzle. Determine when the value does something you don't want.

Using a variable's definition as a variable name

I have a string variable with definition I need to use as a
variable name.
For example, this is super simplified:
var newVariable = 'it is working';
var partOne:String = 'new';
var partTwo:String = 'Variable';
var partThree = partOne + partTwo;
trace("my variable is " + partThree);
Instead of tracing partThree as literally partOne + partTwo
(which traces "newVariable") i'd like it to trace the
Definition of partOne + partTwo (which is "it is working").
I hope this makes sense, help or advice is
appreciated.

...
var partThree = this[partOne + partTwo];
trace("my variable is " + partThree); //will trace: my
variable is it is working

Is it possible to add a property using variable in variable name?

I want to query for a list of virtual machines within a folder, then create a menu of the host names using forms. Since the list of machines is subject to change, I want to build the list each time the script is run, rather than build off a static
list.
For each virtual machine I need to create the list of variables below:
$hostnameX = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox
$hostnameX.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)
$hostnameX.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,20)
$hostnameX.Checked = $true
$hostnameX.Text = "Type"
$hostnameX.Controls.Add($hostnameX)
The location and size values need to be incremented but I think I can figure that part out.
I can use New-Variable to generate the initial variable. But I receive errors using the same method to try to create a new property for the variable.
$VMS = Get-Cluster MyCLUS | Get-vApp "My vApp" | Get-VM | Select Name,PowerState | Sort Name
For ($i=0; $i -lt ($VMS.count); $i++)
$VMS[$i].Name
$VMGUEST = "$($VMS[$i].Name)" -replace("-","")
New-Variable "CB$VMGUEST" "New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox"
New-Variable "CB$VMGUEST.Location" "New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)"
In the above, $CBVMGUEST1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.checkbox which is what I want, but $CBVMGUEST1.Location is not set.
Is there way to add a property using a variable in the variable name? Or any other suggestions on how to tackle this issue?

Hi,
maybe another approach is a bit easier.
Use a hash-array like
$CB = @{}
$CB[$VMGUEST] = New-Object System.Windows.Forms....
$CB[$VMGUEST].Location = New-Object System.Drawing....
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jens Kalski
That's the correct answer. Anytime you find yourself wanting to create variables named "Widget1", "Widget2", "Widget3", etc... it's a pretty clear indication that what you really need is a collection object of some sort. That might be an array,
a hashtable, or any other data structure for holding other objects, depending on your specific needs.

Error while using the variable name "VARIABLE" in variable substitution

Hi Experts,
I am using variable substitution to have my output filename set as a payload field value. It is working fine when I am using the variable name as fname, subs etc but channel goes in error when I am using the variable name as "VARIABLE". This is probably a reserved word but i would like to know where i can find a detailed documentation on this. Say things to note / restrictions while using variable substitution.
This is the error in the channel:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table
Thanks,
Diya

Hi Zevik,
Thanks for the reply. The output file is created correctly by merely changing the variable name to something else and hence the doubt.
Below is the configuration:
Variable Substituition
VARIABLE payload:interface_dummy,1,Recordset,1,Header,1,field1,1
Filename schema : TEST_%VARIABLE%.txt
Output xml structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:interface_dummy xmlns:ns="http://training.eu.unilever.com">
- <ns:Recordset xmlns:ns="http://training.eu.unilever.com">
- <Header>
<identifier>HDR</identifier>
<field1>001</field1>
<field2>001</field2>
<field3>R</field3>
</Header>
- <Detail>
<identifier>A</identifier>
<field1>000000002</field1>
<field2 />
<field3>Doretha.Walker</field3>
</Detail>
I thimk my configuration is correct as it is working correctly with the variable name change, However, maybe i missed something !
