I need to check whether the given input value of date is valid or not in python. I normally used datetime.strptime is to check for date. Am getting Value Error doesn't match format when i given the input value date '06-06-'. It's wrong only but i want to display the output like invalid.
if (datetime.strptime(s,'%m-%d-%y')):
print "valid"
else:
print "Invalid"
1 . s = '06-06-15'
when i given the input value like above, it display the correct output value "Valid"
s = '06-06-'
when i given the input value like above, am getting error like time data '06-13' does not match format '%m-%d-%y'. But i want to display the output "Invalid"
Please anyone suggest me to do that. Thanks in advance.
This is just how it works.
ValueError is raised if the date_string and format can’t be parsed by
time.strptime()
Just turn it to
datetime.strptime(s,'%m-%d-%y'):
print "valid"
except ValueError:
print "Invalid"

I am getting two values one is printing Cash and other is printing CASH in sap crystal report. Now, I want that wherever Cash is showing at that time value should be false while if CASH is printing then the value should show true. So, for that I added the formula but didnt work,
here is my formula,
if(ProperCase({TmpSalesBillInstallmentReport.PaymentType}) = true)
then {TmpSalesBillInstallmentReport.PaymentType}= '0'
else if(UpperCase({TmpSalesBillInstallmentReport.PaymentType}) = true)
{TmpSalesBillInstallmentReport.PaymentType} = '1'
This formula is not working, even getting error i.e. A Boolean Is Required Here(indicating on the first line)
I surfing in net but didnt get related question also.
IF {TmpSalesBillInstallmentReport.PaymentType} = "CASH" Then True ELSE False;
Note: A Crystal formula cannot assign a value to a database field. The field value is Read Only!
UpperCase() function is not a test that returns true or false. It simply returns the text argument after converting it to all upper case.
You might have a setting causing comparisons to be case insensitive.

I have a table that has a text field which has formatted strings that represent money.
For example, it will have values like this, but also have "bad" invalid data as well
$5.55
$100050.44
over 10,000
$550
my money
570.00
I want to convert this to a numeric field but maintain the actual numbers that can be retained, and for any that can't , convert to null.
I was using this function originally which did convert clean numbers (numbers that didn't have any formatting). The issue was that it would not convert $5.55 as an example and set this to null.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.cast_text_to_numeric(
v_input text)
RETURNS numeric
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
COST 100
VOLATILE
AS $BODY$
declare v_output numeric default null;
begin
begin
v_output := v_input::numeric;
exception when others then return null;
end;
return v_output;
end;
$BODY$;
I then created a simple update statement which removes the all non digit characters, but keeps the period.
update public.numbertesting set field_1=regexp_replace(field_1,'[^\w.]','','g')
and if I run this statement, it correctly converts the text data to numeric and maintains the number:
alter table public.numbertesting
alter column field_1 type numeric
using field_1::numeric
But I need to use the function in order to properly discard any bad data and set those values to null.
Even after I run the clean up to set the text value to say 5.55
my "cast_text_to_numeric" function STILL sets this to null ? I don't understand why this sets it to null, but the above statement correctly converts it to a proper number.
How can I fix my cast_text_to_numeric function to properly convert values such as 5.55 , etc?
I'm ok with disgarding (setting to NULL) any values that don't end up with numbers and a period. The regular expression will strip out all other characters... and if there happens to be two numbers in the text field, with the script, they would be combined into one (spaces are removed) and I'm good with that.
In the example of data above, after conversion, the end result in numeric field would be:
5.55
100050.44
null
550
null
570.00
FYI, I am on Postgres 11 right now
Okay, so I just recently got into lua and find myself stuck with the following:
I have the function peripheral.getNames() (which is a custom function)
it will return a table with the structure key,value, whereas key is always a number and starts from 1 and value will be what the function finds (it searches for devices connected to it)
In my example it creates a table which looks like this
1 herp
2 derp
3 monitor_1
4 morederp
I can print the values with the following
local pgn = peripherals.getNames()
for key,value in pairs(pgn) do
setCursorPos(1,key)
write(value)
end
end
this will output the corresponding value of the table at key on my display like this
herp
derp
monitor_1
morederp
now, I try to filter my results so it only prints something if value contains 'monitor'
I tried to achive this with
for key,value in pairs(pgn) do
if string.match(value, monitor) then
#dostuff
end
end
but it always returns 'bad argument: string expected, got nil'
so obviously string.match either does not accept 'value' or, value is not a string
so i tried converting value first
for key,value in pairs(pgn) do
value = tostring(value)
if ....
#dostuff
end
end
but it still throws the same error
Do any of you have an idea how i might either get string.match to accept 'value' or if there is another method to check the contents of 'value' for a pattern while in this for loop?
The error message is talking about the variable monitor, which is not defined and so has a nil value.
Try string.match(value, "monitor").
I'm having some trouble with displaying numbers in apex, but only when i fill them in through code. When numbers are fetched through an automated row fetch, they're fine!
Leading Zero
For example, i have a report where a user can click a link, which runs a javascript function. There i get detailed values for that record through an application process. The returned values are in JSON. Several fields are number fields.
My response looks as follows (fe):
{"AVAILABLE_STOCK": "15818", "WEIGHT": ".001", "VOLUME": ".00009", "BASIC_PRICE": ".06", "COST_PRICE": ".01"}
Already the numbers here 'not correct': values less than one do not have a zero before the .
I kind of hoped that the format mask on the items would catch this. If i specify FM999G990D000 for the item weight, i'd expect it to show '0.001' .
But okay, i suppose it only works that way when it comes through session state, and not when you set an item value through $("#").val() ?
Where do i go wrong? Is my only option to change my select in the app process?
Now:
SELECT '"AVAILABLE_STOCK": "' || AVAILABLE_STOCK ||'", '||
'"WEIGHT": "' || WEIGHT ||'", '||
'"VOLUME": "' || VOLUME ||'", '||
'"BASIC_PRICE": "' || BASIC_PRICE ||'", '||
Do i need to provide my numberfields a to_char with the format mask here (to_char(available_stock, 'FM999G990D000')) ?
Right now i need to put my numbers between quotes ofcourse, or i get invalid json when i parse it.
Trailing Zero
I have an application process on a page on the after header point, right after an automated row fetch. Several fields are calculated here (totals). The variables used are all specified as number(10, 2). All values are correct and rounded to 2 values after the comma. My format masks on the items are also specified as FM999G999G990D00.
However, when one of the calculated values has only one meaningfull value after the comma, the trailing zeros get dropped. Instead of '987.50', it is displayed as '987.5'.
So, i have a number variable, and assign it like this: :P12_NDB_TOTAL_INCL := v_totI;
Would i need to convert my numbers here too, with format mask?
What am i doing wrong, or what am i missing?
If you aren't doing math on it and are more concerned with formatting, I suggest treating it as a varchar/string instead of as a number wherever you can.
I have this code:
msgs = int(post['time_in_weeks'])
for i in range(msgs):
tip_msg = Tip.objects.get(week_number=i)
it always results in an error saying that no values could be found.
week_number is an integer field. When I input the value of i directly,
the query works.
When i print out the value of i I get the expected values.
Any input at all would be seriously appreciated.
Thanks.
The range function will give you a zero based list of numbers up to and excluding msgs. I guess there is no Tip with week_number=0.
Also, to limit the number of queries you could do this:
for tip in Tip.objects.filter(week_number__lt=msgs):
#do something
or, if you want specific weeks:
weeks=(1,3,5)
for tip in Tip.objects.filter(week_number__in=weeks):
#do something
