We are using DateTimeV2 French module. The recognition is not working as expected.
We are facing trouble in the following scenario:
For query = 13/02/2018, the value recognized is 13th Feb 2018 but if the date specified in less than 12, eg, 09/02/2018, the value recognized is 2nd September 2018. There is a contradiction in these results and we are unable to process them further due to the same.
Please let me know if I am missing something out here or if there is go around for this.
You are not missing something, there is a bug in the French recognizer, we already experienced the same thing.
Origin of the problem:
In fact the problem seems to be around the order of the detection templates used by the recognizer: in French, dates are written in "day-month-year" format rather than in "month-day-year".
But if you have a look to the DateTimeDefinitions for French language here:
public static readonly string DateExtractor4 = $#"\b{MonthNumRegex}\s*[/\\\-]\s*{DayRegex}\s*[/\\\-]\s*{DateYearRegex}";
public static readonly string DateExtractor5 = $#"\b{DayRegex}\s*[/\\\-]\s*{MonthNumRegex}\s*[/\\\-]\s*{DateYearRegex}";
and the way they are used here, the problem will be that your date will fit DateExtractor4 first and the result will be used, whereas it was a value in format DateExtractor5.

I have date string return by ServiceStack : 2013-08-25T12:06:32.8770000 but error when convert to date of Dart
DateTime.parse(mapAccount[Account.RECCREATED]);
it ok when call
DateTime.parse((mapAccount[Account.RECCREATED] as String).substring(0, 26));
Is there anyway to fix it. Thanks you.
Looks like the string don't match the internally used regular expression:
r'^([+-]?\d?\d\d\d\d)-?(\d\d)-?(\d\d)(?:[ T](\d\d)(?::?(\d\d)(?::?(\d\d)(.\d{1,6})?)?)? ?([zZ])?)?$'
But the regular expression doesn't support more that 6 digits for the milliseconds (and microseconds) part, but you supply 7 digits.
The documentation does not state which formats are supported, but gives some examples. They only state that they support a subset of ISO 8601.
Looks like your solution is the only one a the moment.
Not sure if this should be treaded as a bug, but if you think it is a bug, create a bug report here.
See the docs about DateTime.parse for more details. Looks like the problems with the parse function is already in the bug tracker.
In my project I am developing teachers and their timetable. I was provided with a text file that contains the teacher timetable from my uni. They ware unable to tell me what is the syntax or code language so I would know how to read it and use it in my iPhone app. Can you help me identifying what sot of code is this and how can I read that?

It's not code, it's data. And the best way of interpreting it is to compare this representation with another : Think Rosetta Stone.
Obviously, colon is used to separate the fields, and each line probably represents a single tinmetable item. Each line appears to have 8 fields on it.
One field looks like a course ID : EECT300
Another looks like a time : 0900
As for the rest, you'll have to work it out...
University of Westminster, maybe...?
It is not a code language.
It is just a plain text file which contains data using colons : as a separator
I guess you have to parse it and retrieve the information for each column. You have to be aware of the signification of each column (if no ask to your uni)
I am a bit confused by what I see and hence headed over to SO.
I am developing a BizTalk (2010) Orchestration and I am wanting to parse an incoming XML message. I just need to retrieve then number of times a particular node is repeating. I could have used XPath. But, I chose to use LinqToXml.
I have created a variable of type System.Xml.Linq.XNamespace and inside an expression shape, I am assignning it a string value.. say http://mycompany/v1.0. This is a perfectly valid C# statment, as there is an implicit conversion from String to XNamespace (MSDN link).
But the Orchestration will not compile at all. I get this error cannot implicitly convert type System.String to System.Xml.Linq.XNamespace.
And if I dont use the XNamespace variable and directly run LinqToXml on the incoming message like this
MessageCount = MyXElement.Elements("{http://mycompany/v1.0}ListOfNotifications").Elements("{http://mycompany/v1.0}Notification").Count();
I get a cannot convert from String to XName error. Even this is confusing.
I am using BizTalk 2010 and C# 4.0. Can someone explain if I am missing something? I have tried all these code snippets using LinqPad and I get the expected response. So, there are no typos or missing references.
I opted to use the XPath option to retrieve the values that I needed, instead of using LinqToXml. The code that I ended up writing looks like below:
xpath(myOrchVariable, "string(/*[local-name()='InputRootNode' and namespace-uri()='http://my/name/space'])")
I have an Installshield2010 project that has had this warning since before my employment
ISDEV : warning -3028: The string ID "IDS_ERROR_27555" was not found in the string table. It is referenced in the table:"Error" in column:"Message".
Looking in the svn history, this row was added to Error table a few years ago - alongside a seemingly unrelated change
<row><td>27555</td><td>##IDS_ERROR_27555##</td></row>
However as the error indicates, there is no corresponding entry in the ISString table.
I'm curious how it got added. The IDS_ERROR strings look like canned strings, it seems really unlikely the person who added this to my ism did so manually.
Of course Flexera's forums are a ghost town. I did find an ism that has that string defined as
<row><td>IDS_ERROR_27555</td><td>1033</td><td>Error attempting to apply permissions to object '[2]'. System error: [3] ([4])</td><td>0</td><td/><td>1394414478</td></row>
Do any of your ism's have IDS_ERROR_27555 defined or referenced? Am very sure I can delete the string and be no worse for wear... but it bugs me to not know what happened.
I don't remember in which version we added these strings, but you can get them by importing the strings file for your language (1033.txt for English) under the Languages folder. Upgrading across versions of InstallShield should have added this string. You can add them yourself by importing the strings file in the String Editor view. Of course if you've modified other strings, you'll want to ensure that you keep your preferred version.
I'm using Delphi 2007 and I wonder how the following problem can be solved:
I have to translate AComp.Caption for example, but the string that I want to assign to the caption, often depends on some data (for example a date or a number, that gets Formatted). Therefore I have to save the data and the string in a new variable for every translation, which is really annoying.
What I want to do is something like that:
// will add the string and data to an internal list of Translator
// and will then return a DynamicString, which represents the translated value
AComp.Caption := T.NewTranslatedString("Hello %s, do you like cheese?", User)
(Note that AComp.Caption ("Hello %s..") can be changed in different methods)
When switching to another language, you would call T.TranslateAgain() and the value of all strings will be translated and, if data given, formatted again.
Is this possible or do you know another way for solving the given problem?
Thanks in advance
Additional question:
Are strings normal objects, that I can subclass and add dynamic behaviour that changes the string itself in special cases?
Delphi strings are not objects, you can't add behaviours to them. You would need to develop your own class.
The Windows way to localize applications is to get advantage of resources, that can be changed (and loading redirected) without changes to the code (no need to call special functions or add new components), and without run-time calls but to load the resource. The only disadvantage of resources is they cannot be changed easily by the end user. The Delphi 2007 standard localization tools use this approach.
Anyway there are some libraries like dxGetText (which is a port of the GNU gettext library) or TsiLang, for example that use a more "intrusive" approach, requiring changes to your code or adding components. In exchange they can simplify end-user localization.
Before developing your own localization library, I would check if one of the existing ones fits youe needs.
Note: Be aware that Delphi localization tool has significant issues that weren't fixed until XE (which I didn't test yet). See for example QC #79449. Unluckily the fix was never backported to earlier releases.
You can use Delphi's own translator tool. It is able to extract strings and resourcestrings from your source code and form DFM files, and gives you a graphical user interface to translate them to any language. It then creates a resource DLL for each language. The DLL containing the translated strings and DFM data. You should deploy this translation DLL with your project to the destination machine.
In your case, your strings are divided into two groups; fixed strings which do not need any further processing, and parametrized strings which need some additional data to be formatted properly. For the fixed strings, you can just type in the translation into translator tool. For parametrized strings, save each one as a resourcestring and use the resourcestring for formatting them. For example:
resourcestring
strDoYouLikeCheese = 'Hello %s, do you like cheese?';
...
AComp.Caption := Format(strDoYouLikeCheese,[User]);
Now you can use the translator tool or any resource editor to translate the resourcestring into your desired language without the need for changing your source code or recompiling it.
What you want to do is to localize your application. Delphi has support for this, based around the resourcestring keyword. However, I've never done any localization myself so I recommend that you do some websearch for this topic or perhaps wait for the other experts here to supply more detailed help!
You could use a dictionary to keep track of the string mappings, something like this
TTranslator = class
private
FMappings : TDictionary <String, String>;
public
function Translate (const SrcStr : String) : String;
procedure SetMapping (const SrcStr, DestStr : String);
end;
function TTranslator.Translate (const SrcStr : String) : String;
begin
if not FMappings.TryGetValue (SrcStr, Result) then
Result := SrcStr;
end;
procedure TTranslator.SetMapping (const SrcStr, DestStr : String);
begin
FMappings.AddOrSetValue (SrcStr, DestStr);
end;
Translating would then be simply several calls to SetMappings. This gives you a lot of flexiblity. Anyway, you might consider using the built-in localization support or even third-party solutions.
EDIT: Just saw that you are using Delphi 2007, so you don't have TDictionary available. The idea should remain valid, just use any dictionary implementation or a list-based approach.
And to answer the other part of your question: no, strings are not normal object (actually they are not objects at all). They are special in various ways (memory management, copy-on-write behaviour) and it is not possible to subclass them. But that's not what you want anyway if I understood the question correctly.
