string-formatting

var total = 0; $(".amount").each(function() { var value = $(this).val(); value = (value.length < 1) ? 0 : value; var tmp = parseFloat(value).toFixed(2); total += tmp; }); $(".total").text(total); I am trying to loop through some text boxes and sum up their values. This produces a nasty string. What am I missing?? if I put 8 in the first textbox total text ends up as " 08.000.000.000.00". What am I doing wrong? I would like to format as currency but if not, at least just a two decimal number. Any pointers? Thanks, ~ck in San Diego .toFixed converts the object from a Number to a String. Leave

I found this list of HTML-Tags that are (supposedly) supported for HTML.fromHtml to create a Spanned-Text: http://commonsware.com/blog/Android/2010/05/26/html-tags-supported-by-textview.html Now is there ANY way to set a custom Typeface with the Font-Tag? Outdated. See other answers. No, there's no way to do so. You can take a look at the Html implementation . As you will see, the font tag supports size and color only. Simply use a <font> tag with a face attribute. This has been possible since at least Android 1.5 ( see source code ). The value of the face attribute will be passed to the

I am querying social security number data from a stored procedure and I would like to format it as a social security number in my stored procedure. How can I format xxxxxxxxx like xxx-xx-xxxx in Oracle? SSN formatting with TO_CHAR SELECT TO_CHAR(012345678, '000g00g0000','nls_numeric_characters=.-') ssn from dual; SSN ----------- 012-34-5678 update: thanks to Gary for pointing out that the '0' format character should be used rather than the '9' to preserve leading zeroes. you could also use the concat operator || , which might be more readable. SUBSTR(data, 1, 3) ||'-'||SUBSTR(data, 4, 2)||'-'|

I wanted to pad a string with null characters ("\x00"). I know lots of ways to do this, so please do not answer with alternatives. What I want to know is: Why does Python's string.format() function not allow padding with nulls? Test cases: >>> "{0:\x01<10}".format("bbb") 'bbb\x01\x01\x01\x01\x01\x01\x01' This shows that hex-escaped characters work in general. >>> "{0:\x00<10}".format("bbb") 'bbb ' But "\x00" gets turned into a space ("\x20"). >>> "{0:{1}<10}".format("bbb","\x00") 'bbb ' >>> "{0:{1}<10}".format("bbb",chr(0)) 'bbb ' Even trying a couple other ways of doing it. >>> "bbb" + "\x00"

I'm trying to convert A binary IP to a human-readable IP SELECT HEX( `ip_bin` ) FROM `log_metadata` gives me 4333D26E000000000000000000000000 And SELECT INET_NTOA(0x4333D26E) gives me 67.51.210.110 So I tried: SELECT SUBSTRING( CONVERT(HEX(`ip_bin`), CHAR(32)), 1, 8 ) AS `A` , INET_NTOA( SUBSTRING( CONVERT(HEX(`ip_bin`), CHAR(32)), 1, 8 ) ) AS `B` , INET_NTOA(hex(`ip_bin`)) AS `C` , INET_NTOA(`ip_bin`) AS `D` FROM `log_metadata` But I only get +----------+------------+------------+---------+ | A | B | C | D | +----------+------------+------------+---------+ | 4333D26E | 0.0.16.237 | 0.0.16.237

This question already has answers here : Closed 5 years ago . What is the pythonic way to unpack tuples? [duplicate] (2 answers) I'm trying to use the str.format() method, and having some difficulties when my values are stored within a tuple. For example, if I do: s = "x{}y{}z{}" s.format(1,2,3) Then I get 'x1y2z3' - no problem. However, when I try: s = "x{}y{}z{}" tup = (1,2,3) s.format(tup) I get IndexError: tuple index out of range. So how can I 'convert' the tuple into separate variables? or any other workaround ideas? Martijn Pieters Pass in the tuple using *arg variable arguments call
