Using a variables value as the name of another variable
Hi, i'm new to java and i've been trying to write a little program. I was wondering whether it is possible to use the value of a variable as the name of another variable.
This is what i have so far: When i run my java program numerous Animal objects are created with names like ani01, ani02, ani03. These objects have functions like getName() etc. When i type in one of these codes into the command line it gets stored in a variable called 'input'. Everything's fine up to here.
But i need a way to access the correct Animal from my input. instead of doing countless switch statements on the input.
If i type "ani02" i want it to return the animals name by calling ani02.getName()...
how do i do this? i'd appreciate any help. thanks.
If you were doing this based on user input, then you
wouldn't have to do a lot of typing. Mmm?I'm sorry i don't get your meaning... ? I am doing this based on user input am i not?
All i want to do is access the correct Animal object depending on the user's input... so if they type in ani01 it would return 'Elephant' (or whatever) using ani01.getName().
Maybe i'm going about this the wrong way or something?.. I have about 30 animals. they each have a name, continent, quantity. I have an Animal class that has functions like getName(), setName() etc. When the program starts, 30 objects are created
Animal ani01 = new Animal("Elephant",3000,"India");
Animal ani02 = new Animal("Panda",200,"China");etc...
I want to be able to get information about any one of these animals by typing something at the command line...
so i type in something (i just thought the name of the object would be the best thing to type in) and i get the info about elephants (or whatever) from the relevant object.
how would you do this?

I recently got a message with an exclamation mark stating "your computer name is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ______"
How did this happen, is it phishing, malware, or did someone hit some button on here to change it. I'm hoping that someone else doesn't have access to everything on my computer now. Help!Hello RaptorTrish,
Interesting name! You don't say what computer you are using, the OS or the nature of the network, home, office etc. Could you fill in a few details.
You are right to be concerned but there is often a simple explanation. -
Error after 10.7.4 Lion Upgrade to iMac
Computer's local host name .......is already in use on this network. the name has been changed to........
and it keeps adding up the number each time I wake the iMac.
What to do to get it back before upgrade error?Ok worth repeating, hope this works. Finally spoke to AppleCare Support and walked me thru following...restart computer holding down "command" and "option" keys at the same time with letters "P" and "R" when computer turns on. This is what he called a PR restart, clears out discrepancies in memory (if that is what the error message actually is). Then went to Systems Preferences/Network/Sharing and deleted the number that kept increasing every time MAC would wake up.
Even tho this was just done, I am hopeful that error pop-up won't happen again. Fingers crossed! -
error message that my local host name is in use and the system generates a new one every time I wake my mac the error mssg reads This computer’s local hostname “D-360.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “D-444.local”.
There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article. -
What does this mean: This computer’s local hostname “Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local”.
When I came back to my computer this message was on the screen. Should I be concerned ? or doing something?Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane. -
Should I ok this message-this computer's local hostname Irma's Mac-mini-local is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to Irma's Mac-mini-2local
Don't think this is a conflict with IP Addresses or computer names
= DHCP hangover when computer renews DHCP lease
There is no actual other computer
It just appears that way when reconnects so creates new -2 computer name
What types of names do you use your computers ?
Whether you name them after quantum particles or the romantic poets...
They will each start to be appended with "-2" then "-3" etc if you auto configure network settings from Airport Router DHCP service and you have this Change computer name issue where pop up window states name is already being used on your LAN
As stated previous post you can reset the computer name in SysPrefs / Sharing / Edit button
And restart Router or renew all DHCP leases (if persists in not allowing original name)
Can now press Edit and reset name of choice
But for Fix see link above -
I get this message: This computer’s local hostname “x-8.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “x-9.local” I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?
Hi, this is a common problem, mostly just irksome though.
It can have many cause, like using more than one Interface for connections, Router temporarily losing x.local & seeing a new connection with x.local already used, insists it must be x-1.local, x-2.local, etc..
What all Sharing do you have enabled?
Some possible fixes...

What if my error message is the following: The backup disk image “/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)
This is a complex procedure.
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a minute or two

The name of this class conflicts with the name of another class
I had a problem when compiling my flash movie. I had made an
instance from a class, but the output kept saying:
"The name of this class, XXX, conflicts with the name of
another class that was loaded XXX."
I read a lot of developers have the same problems, when i
looked it up:
Google
link on : "conflicts with the name of antother class that was
loaded"
Apparently it is some kind of bug caused by different times,
between local/network machines and servers.
Also when there is a time difference involved between 2
computers, then this problem also occurs.
Can't macromedia fix this bug? .....Because as a developer i
don't want to adjust my time, everytime i want to test my flash
movies or have to compile my movie 2 times. The other developers
are getting tired of it also.
We need to get this bug trough to macromedia or adobe!
It needs to be fixed!Can anyone help?

Revaluate function using a negative value in the revaluation variable
Hello,
I'm trying to use the revaluate function in IP, using a user defined variable containing a negative value, I have a error that tells me that the value in the variable is incorrect.
I've tried several syntaxes, including "-10" or "10-" to revaluate the ratios at 90% of their original values, but without otaining any success.
Has somebody an idea ?
Regards,
MickaelHi Michael,
we noticed the same and we created a simple FOX formula for this. This works fine then
(One should use values like 0,5 I guess to devaluate which is not user friendly)
D
For example:
DATA LV_REVALUATION TYPE F.
LV_REVALUATION = VARV(Z_REVALUATION).
= * (1 + ( LV_REVALUATION / 100)).
(Z_REVALUATION is a variable type formula.) -
Need to use Select List value as column name
I want to have a WHERE ? IS BETWEEN ? AND ? clause.
I am using the PL/SQL Query returning a SQL Query as a report. This uses bind variables for items I had set on my form..... If I hardcode something like:
'WHERE STARTDATE IS BETWEEN '||
'TO_DATE(:P1_START,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
'TO_DATE(:P2_END,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'')';
I have no problem, but I have 2 date columns, STARTDATE and ENDDATE, and would like to use the value in a select list and not have to hardcode "STARTDATE" in there. I have not been able to do this, does anyone know how to use a bind variable as a column name? From reading some posts I think it might not be possible.Heather,
You're on the right track, just glue in the column name so that it becomes part of the returned query string from the function (...'WHERE '||:COLNAME||' IS BETWEEN '|| ...).
Note that the bind variable is not part of the returned query string, but the column name obtained from the bind variable when the function executes does become part of the query string.

What is the value of the 'Name' attribute of an Instance of Resource Type IPv6 Adress?
See subject. I'm writing a Powershell script which is supposed to return the configured hostname and IP Address for a service associated with a role on a failover cluster. I'm using, e.g.. the following to retrieve the IPv4 Address:
$a1 = Get-ClusterResource "MyServiceDisplayName"
$b1 = Get-ClusterGroup $a1.OwnerGroup.Name | Get-ClusterResource | Where-Object {$_.ResourceType -eq "IP Address"}
$c1 = Get-ClusterResource $b1.Name | Get-ClusterParameter | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Address"}
and then I access the result via $c1.Value.
I want to do the same for an IPv6 address. The information I don't have is the 'Name' attribute of the result of the Get-ClusterParameter command, that is the condition of the Where-Object in the line which gives me $c1. (for the
IPv4 Address I got it by running this on our test server, but that does not have IPv6 configured, so I cannot do the same in that case). Is it simply 'Address' as well?

I want to import this XML into Indesign. It seems that the images path needs to be in a href attribute so Indesign accepts the node as an image object.
Another problem is that Indesign won't import the original xml with selection of the listed xsl to tranform the xml. So I used another xml editor instead to perform the transformation.
Thank you all for your help!Hi Dorian_fs,
I think we're still missing details here on what exactly it
is you're trying to do? Are you loading this XML via a data set? In
which case, Don's samples would apply? Or are you trying to load
XML independent of data sets and regions, in which case, you are
looking for something that simplifies the access of data from the
resulting XML document? If the latter than perhaps you want to use

I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
