Get Result:
The last column is empty. It is strange.
Can someone explain it? It blocks us a lot.
the list of supported datetime formats is available here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/scalar-data-types/datetime
the format you're using isn't included in that list, and you may want to first manipulate it in the origin, or using query functions, prior to casting it using todatetime()
the fact that casting the constant string literal works is because it's handled in a separate code path, that (currently) happens to support undocumented formats.

I am writing some code where I have multiple dictionaries for my data. The reason being, I have multiple core objects and multiple smaller assets and the user must be able to choose a smaller asset and have some function off in the distance run the code with the parent noted.
An example of one of the dictionaries: (I'm working in ROBLOX Lua 5.1 but the syntax for the problem should be identical)
local data = {
character = workspace.Stores.NPCs.Thom,
name = "Thom", npcId = 9,
npcDialog = workspace.Stores.NPCs.Thom.Dialog
}
local items = {
item1 = {
model = workspace.Stores.Items.Item1.Main,
npcName = "Thom",
}
}
This is my function:
local function function1(item)
if not items[item] and data[items[item[npcName]]] then return false end
end
As you can see, I try to index the dictionary using a key from another dictionary. Usually this is no problem.
local thisIsAVariable = item[item1[npcName]]
but the method I use above tries to index the data dictionary for data that is in the items dictionary.
Without a ton of local variables and clutter, is there a way to do this? I had an idea to wrap the conflicting dictionary reference in a tostring() function to separate them - would that work?
Thank you.
As I see it, your issue is that:
data[items[item[npcName]]]
is looking for data[“Thom”] ... but you do not have such a key in the data table. You have a “name” key that has a “Thom” value. You could reverse the name key and value in the data table. “Thom” = name
I'm going loopy....
I want a date, in date format, for example
21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT
I stamp this on a document, but I then want to display it on my xpage as:
21/06/2017 17:23
But I keep getting different results no matter what I do. I get the date from the onClick of a button using
var dt = new Date();
I then pass this into a function:
function AddObjectivesHistoryItem(doc, dt, action, username){
var ArrDocHistory:array = doc.getItemValueArray("History");
if(ArrDocHistory.length < 1){
// This should always return an object as it is created when an objectives document is first
// created but do this check to be safe and create an array if for some reason it doesnt exist
ArrDocHistory = [dt+"|"+action+"|"+username];
}else{
// append new value to the array
ArrDocHistory.push(dt+"|"+action+"|"+username);
}
doc.replaceItemValue("History",ArrDocHistory);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedByName",username);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedDate",dt);
}
I've tried using toLocaleString() and all others it seems but it wont work.
For example, toLocaleString() displays as 13-Mar-2018 15:02:15 on my xpage. It's close to what I want except it uses hyphens instead of slashes, and also displays the seconds.
I've tried using custom date pattern on my date field properties with no luck and I'm certain I'm missing something super obvious!?
Any pointers on how to firstly get the date like 21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT and store as a date and secondly to then display it as 21/06/2017 17:23, this can be a string if it needs to be.
Thanks
You can get your date value as String in SSJS with:
var dateTimeFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy kk:mm");
var dateTimeString = dateTimeFormat.format(dt)));
If you want to store as text, java.text.SimpleDateFormat is best for converting a date server-side to a specific text format. It can also be used in a converter to manipulate to/from as well.
I am trying to format a zero currency value as an empty string, so that when the currency value is 0.00 then an empty string gets displayed rather than $0.00.
This code is part of an ASP.Net app that will display currency value to end user.
I have used following code to achieve this goal.
Question : Is it possible to achieve this by just using {0:C} format string or another version of this format string instead of using if then else coding for this? If I use ###,###,###.## as the data format string then an empty string shows for zero currency value and also I get rid of the if then else coding but for non-zero values no currency symbol shows.
If Double.Parse(Decimal.Parse(CDec(currencyValue))) = 0 Then
charValue = Nothing
Else
charValue = String.Format("{0:C}", CDec(currencyValue))
End If
UPDATE
I ended up using the following code, which is working fine. If is better than IIf because it does short-circuiting, which means that IIf will evaluate all expressions whether the condition is true or false but If will evaluate the first expression only if condition is true and evaluate the second expression only if condition is false.
Dim d As Decimal
Decimal.TryParse(currencyValue, d)
charValue = If(d = 0D, Nothing, String.Format("{0:C}", d))
I don't think there is a way using formatting to display an empty string.
But you can write it like:
charValue = If( currencyValue = 0D, "", currencyValue.ToString("C") )
using the If Operator (Visual Basic).
Also this is something I would not do:
If Double.Parse(Decimal.Parse(CDec(currencyValue))) = 0 Then
If currencyValue is Decimal:
If (currencyValue = 0D) Then
If currencyValue is Double:
If (currencyValue = 0R) Then
Also, if you are using a database and this is a Sql Server mind SQL Server Data Type Mappings
I don't think you can when using C or the other similar standard formats, since they are already defining a culture-specific format that will include a format for zero.
But if you specify your own custom format, you can specify three different formats separated by ;s, one each for positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero, respectively.
For example (giving an empty string for the zero format, resulting in blank zeroes):
charValue = String.Format("{0:#,##0.00;-#,##0.00;""""}", CDec(currencyValue))
And from what I can see, omitting the format for negative gives a default that matches the positive, whereas omitting the format for zero gives blank, which is what you're looking for, so this should be sufficient as well:
charValue = String.Format("{0:#,##0.00;;}", CDec(currencyValue))
(Using whichever custom format you wish.)
UPDATE: You can get the current currency symbol and manually put it into your custom format. IE:
Dim symbol = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol
charValue = String.Format("{0}{1:#,##0.00;;}", symbol, CDec(currencyValue))
From the sound of it, though, I think I would actually recommend doing basically what you started with, maybe with an extension method.
<Extension>
Public Function ToCurrencyString(pValue As Decimal) As String
Return IIf(pValue = 0, "", pValue.ToString("C"))
End Function
Dim someValue As Decimal = 1.23
Console.WriteLine(someValue.ToCurrencyString())
This gives you exactly what you're looking for. The exact same format as C gives, but with blank zeroes.
I'm developing a custom validator of a date input in my workflow form and I get a null after parsing a date this is what I done:
// check dates can be parsed
str_expiryDate = field.form.prop_wfbxTestWorkFlow_NfDate.value;
console.log("Non conformite"+str_expiryDate);
str_reminderDate = field.form.prop_bpm_workflowDueDate.value;
console.log("echeance"+str_reminderDate);
Alfresco.logger.warn("Expiry Date: " + str_expiryDate + " | Reminder Date: " + str_reminderDate);
d_expiryDate = Date.parse(str_expiryDate);
console.log("nfDate"+str_expiryDate);
d_reminderDate = Date.parse(str_reminderDate);
console.log("Date echéance"+d_reminderDate);
and then i get this in console:
Non conformite2013-06-21T00:00:00.000+01:00 echeance2013-06-09T00:00:00.000+01:00
nfDatenull
Date echéancenull
How I can parse these two dates and then compare it? .thanks
Use Alfresco.util.fromISO8601(date)
According to the client-api docs
Convert an ISO8601 date string into a JavaScript native Date object
You are parsing the "value" of a date, not the date itself.
The best way to compare is, imho, using the format YYYYMMDD, and than compare it as a number.
Something like this (there is sure a far more elegant way to do that, but at this time it's the only one that got me):
var indexDate=str_expiryDate.indexOf("-");
var dayDate=str_expiryDate.substring(0, 2);
var monthDate=str_expiryDate.substring(3, 5);
var yearDate=fromData.substring(6, str_expiryDate.length+1);
int dataNew=yearDate+monthDate+dayDate;
and than compare the two dates value.
Obviously check if the index value are correct, I didn't double checked them.
Hope il helps.
I am trying to access an XMLList item and convert it to am XML object.
I am using this expression:
masonicXML.item.(#style_number == styleNum)
For example if there is a match everything works fine but if there is not a match then I get an error when I try cast it as XML saying that it has to be well formed. So I need to make sure that the expression gets a match before I cast it as XML. I tried setting it to an XMLList variable and checking if it as a text() propertie like this:
var defaultItem:XMLList = DataModel.instance.masonicXML.item.(#style_number == styleNum);
if(defaultItem.text())
{
DataModel.instance.selectedItem = XML(defaultItem);
}
But it still give me an error if theres no match. It works fine if there is a match.
THANKS!
In my experience, the simplest way to check for results is to grab the 0th element of the list and see if it's null.
Here is your code sample with a few tweaks. Notice that I've changed the type of defaultItem from XMLList to XML, and I'm assigning it to the 0th element of the list.
var defaultItem:XML =
DataModel.instance.masonicXML.item.(#style_number == styleNum)[0];
if( defaultItem != null )
{
DataModel.instance.selectedItem = defaultItem;
}
OK I got it to work with this:
if(String(defaultItem.#style_number).length)
Matt's null check is a good solution. (Unless there is the possibility of having null items within an XMLList.. probably not, but I haven't verified this.)
You can also check for the length of the XMLList without casting it to a String:
if (defaultItem.#style_number.length() > 0)
The difference to String and Array is that with an XMLList, length() is a method instead of a property.
