string-formatting

I'd like to customize the display of an enumeration class using matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay . If I have a regular (non-enumeration) class such as the following: classdef test < handle & matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay properties value end methods function obj = test(value) obj.value = value; end end methods (Access = protected) function displayScalarObject(obj) disp(['hello ', num2str(obj.value)]) end end end then everything works fine - for example, >> a = test(1) a = hello 1 But if I have an enumeration class such as the following (note the addition of the enumeration block): classdef test <

I'm receiving a ParseException with the following code and I can't seem to fix it: String date = "Tue Mar 13 2012 10:48:05 GMT-0400"; SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzX"); //Tried zzzZ at the end as well System.out.println(format.parse(date)); If I take out the -0400 and the X (or Z) at the end of the SimpleDateFormat things work fine, but once it's in the code, it simply doesn't work. What symbol should I be using instead? I'm using Java 7. Here is the parse error I receive: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Tue Mar 13 2012 10:48:05 GMT

So i would like to convert string like this: "Bloke %s drank %5.2f litres of booze and ate %d bananas" with a C# equivalent for .Format or .AppendFormat methods "Bloke {0} drank {1,5:f2} litres of booze and ate {2} bananas" sorry but i'm not sure if the C# version was correct but u got the idea. The solution does not have to be perfect but cover the basic case. Thanks & BR -Matti answered in my other question How to write C# regular expression pattern to match basic printf format-strings like "%5.2f"? You could probably just use StringBuilder.Replace() . StringBuilder cString = new

I'm new to WPF and MVVM (started this week experimenting with it) and trying to bind image resources at runtime. The items I'm trying to display contain an enumerate property that indicates the type or state of the item: public class TraceEvent { /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the type of the event. /// </summary> /// <value>The type of the event.</value> public TraceEventType EventType { get; set; } } As far as I known the Source attribute of Image has a value converter that takes strings and returns Uri objects. <Image Source="{Binding Path=EventType, StringFormat={}/AssemblyName;component

The format: #,# formats my number but it rounds my decimals up. I need to keep my decimals. Is there a format for that? Thank you. #,#.### Ad as many # s as needed. To always show decimal places, use 0 s instead. You can truncate decimal places with (int)d If you need two decimals you can write (int)(100*d)/100.0 (int)(100*1.99999)/100.0 ==> 1.99 If you are trying to display it as a string, try this... yourVariable.ToString("{0:F2}"); This will format the string into a fixed point with two floating numbers.
