string-formatting

I am wondering if it is possible, using the String.format method in Java, to give an integer preceding zeros? For example: 1 would become 001 2 would become 002 ... 11 would become 011 12 would become 012 ... 526 would remain as 526 ...etc At the moment I have tried the following code: String imageName = "_%3d" + "_%s"; for( int i = 0; i < 1000; i++ ){ System.out.println( String.format( imageName, i, "foo" ) ); } Unfortunately, this precedes the number with 3 empty spaces. Is it possible to precede the number with zeros instead? Use %03d in the format specifier for the integer. The 0 means

I've got a Repeater and its SqlDatasource nested inside a Gridview TemplatedField. The Repeater's datasource SelectCommand is set using the FormatString of an Eval from the Gridview. The SelectCommand has a WHERE clause which is to compare a string. Because I have already used the single and double quotes, I am having trouble delimiting the string in the SQL WHERE clause. How do I add single quotes inside an Eval FormatString? I have tried using ' Replace '. I have tried using ' Special Characters ' (... WHERE StringField = '{0}' ...) No luck so far. I appreciate any help you may be able to

I have a string, say: String s = "0123456789"; I want to pad it with a formatter. I can do this two ways: String.format("[%1$15s]", s); //returns [ 0123456789] or String.format("[%1$-15s]", s); // returns [0123456789 ] if I want to truncate text I do String.format("[%1$.5s]", s); // returns [01234] if I want to truncate from the left, I thought I could do this: String.format("[%1$-.5s]", s); // throws MissingFormatWidthException but this failed, so I tried this: String.format("[%1$-0.5s]", s); // throws MissingFormatWidthException as well as this: String.format("[%1$.-5s]", s); // throws

I want to write this write!(f, "{ hash:{}, subject: {} }", self.hash, self.subject) But since curly braces have special meaning for formatting it's clear that I can't place the outer curly braces like that without escaping. So I tried to escape them. write!(f, "\{ hash:{}, subject: {} \}", self.hash, self.subject) Rust doesn't like that either. Then I read this: The literal characters {, }, or # may be included in a string by preceding them with the \ character. Since \ is already an escape character in Rust strings, a string literal using this escape will look like "\{". So I tried write!(f,

In 20+ years programming in C I've used a base other than 10 once, so when I found my trusty MSVC's _itoa() missing in another environment, I set out to write one that only does base 10, and puts the destination buffer argument, pointing to the storage returned by the function, on the left, instead of on the right, like all of the string functions in the C Standard Library. I believe this code is also thread-safe. Is there a faster way to do this? I was also going to ask about correctness, but I believe the included test code proves it works, even for the particular case of LONG_MIN, which is

I have read many question in stack overflow, what I want is remove 2 or more than two trailing zero behind the decimal. i.e: 12.00 ==> 12 12.30 ==> 12.30 12.35 ==> 12.35 12.345678 ==> 12.34 NSNumberFormatter *twoDecimalPlacesFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [twoDecimalPlacesFormatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2]; [twoDecimalPlacesFormatter setMinimumFractionDigits:0]; return [twoDecimalPlacesFormatter stringFromNumber:number]; I like @dorada's answer, here is a complete test: NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter

So, maybe this is a bad design; I don't know. But say I have a DataTable with a column that holds int values; these values are in fact meant to represent some enum type that I have in my project. What I'd like to do is have a DataGridView bound to this table and have the column display the name of the enum rather than the integer value "0" or "1" or whatever. One option I considered was to do the whole normalization thing: add a table in the DataSet with the enum names in it, keyed on the enum values, and have my first table hold a reference to this table. But this is an enum -specific idea. I

I have an integer representing a price in cents. Using Python format strings, how can I convert this value into dollars with two decimal places? Examples: 1234 => 12.34 5 => 0.05 999 => 9.99 EDIT: I should give some background. I am storing prices in a database as integers in order to make sure I don't loose precision. I don't want to use the Decimal datatype because these values will also be used in calculations in Javascript, so integers will be simplest to work with for that. I want to be able to display in a Django template the formatted value using the stringformat tag. As such, dividing
