Removing zeros from a string using lotus notes #formula - lotus-notes

I have a view with a column that contains string field and i want to remove all zeros (0) before the first character, from left to right, different from 0 without modify then value of the field, so i have to use a formula in the column...
For example:
00120dn3 --> in the column i want to see 120dn3
000000001r --> in the column i want to see 1r
191ds5000 --> in the column i want to see 191ds5000
the string lenght varies....
there is someone can help me ?
i use lotus notes 6.5.6

Use the #Right function as long as there is a leading "0":
_str := "00120dn3";
#While(#Left(_str; 1) = "0";
_str := #Right(_str; "0"));
_str

Tkinter selecting text by index

I am implementing a search function in python with Tkinter and would like to select the first match it comes to. I have seen many examples with creating a tag_config to highlight the background of the indexed range, however I would like to select the text (the same way one would by clicking at the first index, then shift clicking the last index).
Thus far I have got both the start and end index of the area I need to select, I just don't know the command to "select" the text with that information.
My current code (that uses a highlight approach) is:
def search_command():
word = askstring("Search", "Enter word to search")
length = len(str(word))
pos = textPad.search(word, '1.0', stopindex=END)
row, col = pos.split('.')
endlen = int(col) + length
end = row + '.' + str(endlen)
textPad.tag_add("found", pos, end)
The "found" tag just highlights the background of the text rather than selecting it.
Any help with finding the correct function would be greatly appreciated.
The selection is defined by the "sel" tag. Apply that tag to the range of text you want selected:
textPad.tag_add("sel", pos, end)

Getting Cell as String in PHPExcel by column and row

I am trying to read a cell with possible trailing zeros as a string instead of numeric (which strips off leading zeros). The cell is read by integer column/row as below instead of column string as this answer has.
initial code
$instReader = $reader->load($this->file);
$sheet = $instReader->getSheet(0);
I tried modifying this from:
$keyCell = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,5);
to:
$sheet->setCellValueExplicitByColumnAndRow(1,5, PHPExcel_Cell_DataType::TYPE_STRING);
$keyCell = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,5);
the former gives 1407 for $keyCell instead of 01407
the latter gives "s" or ""
how do I treat the cell as string before calling getCellByColumnAndRow and using only integer values for column and row.
(BTW, if this can be done once for an entire column instead of each time for each individual cell that would be better)
$keyCell = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,5)->getValue();
Will read the cell data in the format that it's actually stored by Excel, you can't arbitrarily change that or tell PHPExcel to read it as a different datatype.
However, if the cell has formatting applied, then you can use
$keyCell = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,5)->getFormattedValue();
instead, and this will return the data as a string, with whatever format mask was defined in the Excel spreadsheet
Same issue for me. I become crazy.
Tried to set
$objReader->setReadDataOnly(true);
wasn't working
tried
$sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(4,$row)->getValue()
because normaly display text as raw => doesn't working.
So last I change code in library. Edit file named DefaultValueBinder.php
Search for dataTypeForValue function and set this :
} elseif (is_float($pValue) || is_int($pValue)) {
return PHPExcel_Cell_DataType::TYPE_STRING;//TYPE_NUMERIC patch here;
} elseif (preg_match('/^\-?([0-9]+\\.?[0-9]*|[0-9]*\\.?[0-9]+)$/', $pValue)) {
return PHPExcel_Cell_DataType::TYPE_STRING;//TYPE_NUMERIC patch here;
So now return numbers with 0

In progress 4gl get field names of temp-table

I have some temp-tables in my script that I will be exporting to a csv file. I need to also export the field names as well as their values. How can I get the field names of temp-tables?
Here's a quick and dirty example of what you're asking for:
define temp-table tt1
field f1 as character
field f2 as decimal
.
def var iCnt as integer no-undo.
create tt1.
assign
tt1.f1 = "f1"
tt1.f2 = 123.456
.
do icnt = 1 to buffer tt1:num-fields:
display buffer tt1:buffer-field(icnt):name
buffer tt1:buffer-field(icnt):buffer-value
with down
.
down.
end.

Export Excel : Avoid stripping the leading zeros

I am Export a data to Excel Sheet in C#.Net. There i am having column which has the data like "00123450098". The data is exported without the first zero's. I want to show the data as it is.
Here is my export excel code.
string style = #"<style> .text { mso-number-format:\#; } </style> ";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(
"content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName));
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm();
...................
...................
table.RenderControl(htw);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(style);
//render the htmlwriter into the response
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sw.ToString());
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
While exporting to excel, adding \t before the value being inserted will solve the problem.
Eg:
string test = "000456";
string insertValueAs = "\t" + test;
The string test would then be considered as a string value and not an integer value. Thus, it would retain the leading zeros.
I have faced the same issue, and above solution worked for me. Hope this post helps!
If exporting to CSV / TSV, put this into each cell containing a textual "number" with leading 0s or (especially) 16+ digits:
="0012345"
..where 0012345 is the number you want to export to that cell.
I wish I could remember where I saw that.
In Excel file, Numbers cell always strips the leading zeros, you can set numbers with leading zeros by following a single quote. i.e.
00123450098 to '00123450098
but then, the format for that cell will changes to text.
If your generated excel file, have any formula, which is include that cell reference as number then it will not work as expected.
I had this problem as well. The solution I came up with was to sneak the leading zeros in using excel's built in char() function. In excel, char() returns the value of the ASCII character code that is passed to it, so char(048) returns 0.
Before exporting to excel, prepend your variable like so...
varName = "=CHAR(048)&" + varName;
I found my answer for this using a combination of StackOverflow link and a blog.
There are excel formatting styles that can be applied to the gridview on rowdatabound. I used those and now my export does not strip the leading zeros.
Below is an example of my code.
ExpenseResultsGrid.RowDataBound += new GridViewRowEventHandler(ExpenseResultsGrid_RowDataBound);
protected void AllQuartersGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{//add this style to prevent truncating leading zeros in fund code during export to excel
e.Row.Cells[2].Attributes.CssStyle.Add("mso-number-format", "\\#");
}
}
While exporting, just add an empty string like "" before the value that is inserted:
string x = "000123";
myWorksheet.Cells[1,1] = "" + x;

Formatting strings in a text field in Crystal Reports XI

Good morning!
I'm hoping someone can help me with what is probably a simple question but I just cant get things to work the way I would like. I am currently working with a report that has a "catch-all" text field. In this field the user can input anything they want, and on occasion, will input information in a column format (ex. 1.1). This field allows carriage returns which are used to create "rows" in this field. The problem is that the user wants the "columns" in this field to line up on the report without having to count spaces between the columns when the information is entered (ex. 1.2). The problem is that even when this type of information is entered there is no set protocol or formatting guidelines. There may be multiple "subtitles", rows, rows separated by subtitles, etc.. The carriage return (Chr(10)) at the end of each line (or beginning of each new line) is the only thing that can be relied on consistantly.
I am currently trying to seperate each individual row, format each as desired, and put it back together like so:
Dim output As String
Dim sections as String
Dim returnCount as Int
Dim leftText as String
Dim rightText as String
Dim sectionTogether as String
Dim totalText as String
Dim textLength as Int
output = {table.textfield}
sections = ExtractString(output, Chr(10), Chr(10))
If Instr(sections," ") > 0 Then
leftText = Left(sections, Instr(sections, " "))
textLength = Length(Left(sections, Instr(sections, " "))
rightText = Right(sections, Instr(sections, " "))
Replace(sections," "," ")
sectionTogether = rightText + (Space(20) - (textLength - 3)) + leftText
totalText = totalText + sectionTogether
formula = totalText
else
formula = output
This is the gist of what I'm trying to do. A couple of notes:
1) I know I am missing a loop of some kind to format every section but I dont know how to set that up in crystal
2) I have VB programming experience, but I am noob in crystal and its limited tools so I feel hamstringed and I'm having trouble finding the methods and tools I would use in Visual Studio
3) My syntax may also be off in a few places because I am still learning how to set this up and I REALLY miss a debugger.
I hope someone can help me, I have been researching for over a week and it feels like I'm just beating my head against a wall.
Thank you in advance.
The output examples
ex. 1.1
"Your current charges are:
Jan 12.89
Feb 117.44

"Your current charges are:

The first thing you're going to want to do is split up your rows via split(), like this:
local stringvar array wallOText := split({table.textfield},chr(10));
This will give you an array of strings where each array entry is a "row". Now you can loop over your rows with the following:
for i := 1 to ubound(wallOText) step 1 do <some stuff to wallOText[i]>
Now, getting the columns right-justified is a little trickier, but here's some code to get you started. You can adjust the column widths to whatever you may need (in this case, 20 spaces). Also note, you have to use a fixed-width font.
local stringvar output;
local stringvar array row;
local numbervar i;
local numbervar j;
local stringvar array wallOText := split({#some text},chr(10));
local stringvar elem;
for i := 1 to ubound(wallOText) do //loop over lines
(row := split(wallOText[i]," ");
for j := 1 to ubound(row) do //loop over words
(elem := trim(row[j]); //get current element and cut white space
if not(elem="") then
output := output + space(20-len(elem)) + elem); //build output string
output := output + chr(10));
output
