Updating date in text format to date field

I have 2 Strings which represent the date and time respectively. I need to load these into a date field. Every way I have tried has failed. Can anyone tell me how to get these Strings into the date field?
Thanks,
Steve

Assuming these strings are in definite format concatenate them and use function to_date
For example if your date is 01-JAN-2000 and time 22:33-34
then use to_date('01-JAN-2000' | | '22:33-34', 'DD-MON-YYYYHH24:MI:SS')
More about date patterns - RTFM ;)

Trying to convert a date in text format to date or numeric

I've been given an excel file of members of a group, which includes listing of members' birthdays. These are in the format "26-Jul" in text characters. In order to sort by date for a birthday listing, I'm stuck trying to set up a calculation that would transform this to mmdd format that could be sorted on the month then the day. (no year is provided).
Any tips or steps to create this would be very helpful.
thanks,
-Tod

Hi Tod,
What works on my machine is this:
The "dates" in column A are text.
The formula in column B, filled down through rest of the column:
=RIGHT("0"&MONTH(A),2)&RIGHT("0"&DAY(A),2)
Then you can sort on column B.

Hi,
If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
Hope this helps,

Convert mm/dd/yyyy text format to date format

I imported a csv file and the date column is in text format. How do I convert it from m/d/yyyy text format to yyyy-mm-dd DATE format in Numbers v 3.1?
Thanks for any help you can give!

UPDATE: I found that your formula didnt produce the correct result
It changed mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy/dd/mm — rather than the desired yyyy/mm/dd
By hacking at it, I found that changing the D column formulas around fixed this.
Your original function:
D2=RIGHT(A2,4)&"-"&MID(A2, B2+1, C2−B2−1)&"-"&LEFT(A2,B2−1)
Changed:
D2 =RIGHT(A2,4)&"-"&LEFT(A2,B2−1)&"-"&+MID(A2, B2+1, C2−B2−1)

Any idea why it is not showing and what should be done here.
Any pointers are welcome.
Please help,it is really urgent.
Thank in advance!

Hi,
Select text column (varchar column) -> Treat Text as -> custom text format ->Remove @ (default) -> add [html]<script>sometext(‘@’)</script> followed by your javascript
for eg:
[html]<script>buildGoogleChart(‘@’)</script> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("Hello! I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" /> </body> </html>

Jpcap and capturing data in text format

Hey everybody!
I want to use jpcap to capturing all data sending from local computer, which contains words like 'sex', 'porn' etc.
1. Is it possible to achieve this using jpcap?
2. If the answer is yes, then please, give me small hint. I cant see any method in jpcap API to get String data from captured packets...
Best Regards,
Peter.

If your need is to capture outgoing ( or maybe incoming data ) then consider using WireShark.
Available on Windows and Linux ( maybe Solaris... )
If you want to create something like network data capture/analyzer using jpcap then why can't you find this :

Need a POP-UP which can display internal table data in ALV format

HI All,
I need to display INTERNAL TABLE values through a POP-UP. Only condition is that the window with the internal table data should be in ALV format and not in TEXT only format.
To clarify, I used FM 'POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY_OK'   and 'POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY', but both display the data in TEXT format and there is no provision to put the FIELD names there. Everthing needs to be put into internal table and it displays it in text format.
So I want a FM where I can display internal tabel data in ALV format( same format that would appear if you creata search help for a filed and output window would have all the ALV features like SORT buttons etc.
Hope there is some FM to achieve this ALV format data thing.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Putting pictures in calendar date WITH Text

I am stumped as to why Apple would do this? When you import all your dates into the calendar feature they show up. When you place a picture on one of those dates-the date and the text disappear. Was there not some easy way to make the picture transparent or smaller so the info can be shown as well. This to me is annoying-I want to see the name and date as well as the picture.Anyone found a backdoor way to do this?
If not:
NOTE TO APPLE IN UPDATES: Make date and text visible on date block AS WELL as picture!
Thanks!

You can get text over the pictures.
The trick is to cntr-click the picture and send it to the back. One would think this would be enough. However, you now need to cntr-click in the LOWER part of the square and select bring to front TWICE.
Using this recipe, I can consistently get text over pictures (and even change the color of the text for more contrast). However, this change does not seem to hold once you quit and restart iPhoto, at least for me. I am looking for confirmation of this fact in another message before I submit a bug report.

Help retreiving XML data in table format

Hello,
i have a field which stores IP and Domain data in XML format. The field data type is BLOB.
here is the XML data sample stored in the field.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<DOMAIN Name="DOMAIN_NAME HERE">
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X1"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X2"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X3"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X4"></IPADDRESS>
... ETC
Is it possible to run SELECT against this field and retrieve the data in the table format, so the output will have two fields and look like
domain IPADDRESS
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X1
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X2
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X3
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X4
I have tried many option with Extract, extractvalue and XMLQuery, not luck.
Thank you very much!

Getting Source Data in Canonical Format

All -
I understand that in order to change the date format in xmlp we have to have the source data in the canonical format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS
My question is - How do I get my source data into this format? When I try to alter my session or do a to_char on a date column as follows:
alter session set nls_date_format="yyyy-mm-ddThh24:mi:ss"
or
select to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss') from dual;
I get the message that the date format is not recognized. I'm sure that I'm just missing something simple, but any help that could be provided will be greatly appreciated.

Hey BigD
The XSD format is not recognized by the db ... Im chasing that up, they docs appear to say otherwise.
You have some alternatives:
1. If you are not bothered about the time portion you can just get the YYYY-MM-DD format and it will be formatted correctly by XMLP
2. Use the Data Template engine from XMLP to get the data, it will format the date for you.
3. Nasty but you could do something like:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY-MM-DD')||'T'||to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS') from DUAL
If/When I get an answer from the db team on any function I'll let you know.

Comparing two dates and adding days to date

Hi,
I want to compare two dates(like 2006/10/21 and 2006/11/2),how can i compare these two dates,like which is greater.And if to the second date,i want to add some number of days like 10 days,how can i add so that the date becomes 2006/11/12).
Please reply soon.Thanks

No,all other queries are different,as they have the
date in this format
'2006-03-06 " but i have the date in this format
"2006-03-06 10:26:46.0",
i.e the time is also assciated with it.
If I have only the date(in string format or date
date format 2000/12/1),then I can easily do it,but
I have the time also.If I have the date only,then I
can split the date into three strings,and after
converting into integer I can pass it to the
constructor,but what about the time?SimpleDateFormat can parse "2006-03-06 10:26:46.0" date too:
           SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SS");
           Date date = dateFormat.parse("2006-03-06 10:26:46.0");
           System.out.println("date = " +date);

Validating a text field that has date in the format mm/dd/yyyy

How can I validate a text field such that it should be in the format mm/dd/yyyy and it should not be greater that a particular date.
for example the date I enter should not be greater than 01/01/2007

What you can do is use the SimpleDateFormat class to try and parse the text date into a Date object like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date mydate = sdf.parse(textdate);if that fails than the date has the wrong format (you'll get a ParseException if I'm not mistaken).
The next step is to create a Date for 1/1/2007 and then do a date compare between your two dates. You can create a date yourself using the Calendar class.
