Matlab - Define variable from strings [duplicate] - string

If for instance I have a variable xa=2, and then I construct a string by joining 'x' and 'a', how can I make this new string have the value 2?
xa=2;
var=strcat('x','a');
The result of this is var=xa, but what I want is var=2.
Thank you

Use eval():
var = eval(strcat('x','a'));
It will "evaluate" the string 'xa' and translate it to the value of the variable xa.

Replace a specific value in a string in python

I'm trying to replace a specific values in a long string. Is it possible to do this with replace function in python?
a snipit of the string is:
'rh':0, 'rp':0, 't':'b.nan','rh':1, 'rp':1, 't':'b.nan'
my snipit string should look like
'rh':0, 'rp':0, 't':b.nan,'rh':1, 'rp':1, 't':b.nan
i'm trying to replace the 'b.nan' to b.nan but it doesn't work.
The code i'm using:
a.replace("'b.nan'", "b.nan")
You can index strings like arrays:
string = "hello"
print(string[1])
this prints 'e'
You could try finding the index and then replacing it as such

Arithmetic operation in jmeter Groovy

I created a script that receives a variable from another sampler.
I put the variable in a new variable (not want to mess with the source).
And I tried to double the result, the problem is that it multiply as a string and not as in math.
The variable is 6, and I wanted to display 12, but it display 6.0 6.0.
Moreover, how can I save the results in a new variable?
System.out.println(" Impression Price *2 is: " + Impression_price*2);
System.out.println(" Impression Price*2 is: " + (Impression_price.multiply(2.0)));
You need to cast your args[3] which is a String to a corresponding numeric type, for example:
def Impression_price = args[3] as float
Demo:
More information: Creating JMeter Variables in Java - The Ultimate Guide
You need to convert String do double using Double.parseDouble, for example:
def Impression_price= Double.parseDouble(args[3]);
When you log you need to convert back to String using String.valueOf, for example:
log.info(String.valueOf(Impression_price*2));
To put a non String value you need to use vars.putObject:
vars.putObject("Impression_price_double", Impression_price *2);

error with string variable

I'm trying to use a string variable as input to an xml function. When I use this command:
name2_node(i).setTextContent('truck');
there is no error. But when I replace it with:
name2_node(i).setTextContent(type(i,1));
an error occurs like this:
No method 'setTextContent' with matching signature found for class
'org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl'.
The variable type is a string array. In fact when I type type(i,1) in command window the result is:
ans =
string
"truck"
What part am I doing wrong?
Two things:
use a different variable name, type is a built in function which tells you the variable type, hence why it shows "string" in the output.
Then access the cell array of strings with curly braces
vehicletypes = {'car'; 'truck'; 'van'};
name2_node(i).setTextContent(vehicletypes{i,1}); % For i=2, this passes 'truck'

Get real bool value from YamlStream

I use YamlDotnet to parse a yaml stream to a dictionary of string object via the YamlStream.
The YamlMappingType, YamlSequenceNode and YamlScalarNode are used in order to convert the value to a dictionary, a list or a string.
But I need to get a real boolean value instead of the string equivalent, and for that I use
bool.TryParse(value.ToString(), out valueBool)
value veing a YamlNode.
Is there a better way to do that?
Perhaps another child type of YamlNode?
EDIT:
I don't know the content of the YAML file, I just want to get a dictionary with his values.
Instead of doing the parsing manually, you should use the Deserializer class, which will convert a YAML document into an object graph.
var deserializer = new Deserializer();
var parsed = deserializer.Deserialize<...>(input);
You can see a working example here

Convert String type value to a object type VBS

I need to pass an object type value to a procedures, which read from a text file (String fromat).
'param node- Object type
'param txtvalue - String
Function setTexttoElement(nodename, txtvalue)
nodename.Text = txtvalue
End Function
Method is finely works when passing following values
setTexttoElement myElement, abc
But when reading a file it's take String format. So I need to convert first value as Object
"myElement", "abc"
How to solve this?
You will need to create a reference dictionary to convert the text string to an object effectively, as there is no way for vbscript to know what type of object you are passing to the function. For more information: click here.
