Is there a way in Java to have text file with listed a=10.35 b=20.57 c=30.79 and get program to only read the variable decimal values and assign them to declared variables a, b, c in the program.
Searched youtube found nothing.
Do not know if it is possible.
Do not know.
Got it working.
You can certainly read in the contents of the text file and parse it down to the chars and doubles.
If you are referring to declaring named variables based on the file, there is no way to do this directly at runtime. You can, however, use a data structure like a dictionary or map to store the data and access it using the name as a key.
If you could provide more details about what you are trying to do, that would make it easier to answer your question more specifically.

In my current project in Access VBA, I created a window which works like a console and now I am trying to add a possibility to display any public variable. It should work like:
Show_var [variable_name]
So it should be like in the direct window where i can type:
? pVar.variable_A
I found out that using
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(11).CodeModule.CountOfLines
I can display the number of lines within a module or form so I thought perhaps I could somehow find the variables there, cycle through them and when the correct one is found, its value can be shown. OFC I could make a Select Case Statement where all variables are included but that is not the way I want to do it because it is complicated and must be changed every time update my public variable list.
There are so many problems that I think you are out of luck. Let me just list some of them:
There is no way to get a list of all variables - that would mean you would need access to the internal symbol table.
As a consequence, you would have to read the code (CodeModule lets you read the code of a module), and write an own parser to fetch all declarations (hopefully you use Option Explicit)
AFAIK, the is no method that can access the content of a variable via it's name.
Even if there would be any such method: What would you do with different data types, arrays and especially with objects.
If a user runs into problems, often it is a runtime error. If you don't handle that errors with some kind of error handler, the only option if a user cannot enter the debugger is to press "End" - which would destroy the content of all variables.
You have to deal with scope of variables, you can have several variables with the same name and you will likely have lots of variables that are out of scope in the moment you want to dump them.
I am trying to assign the value of this stucture path to a fieldsymbol, but this path does not work because it has a table in it's path.
But with in the debugger this value of this path is shown correctly.
Is there a way to dynamically assign a component of a table line to a fieldsymbol, by passing one path?
If not then I will just read the table line and then use the path to get the wanted value.
ls_struct (Struct)
- SUPPLYCHAINTRADETRANSACTION (Struct)
- INCL_SUPP_CHAIN_ITEM (Table)
- ASSOCIATEDDOCUMENTLINEDOCUMENT (Element)
i_component_path = |IG_DDIC-SUPPLYCHAINTRADETRANSACTION-INCL_SUPP_CHAIN_ITEM[1]-ASSOCIATEDDOCUMENTLINEDOCUMENT|.
ASSIGN (i_component_path) TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lg_value>).
IF <lg_value> IS NOT ASSIGNED.
return.
ENDIF.
<lg_value> won't be assigned

The debugger has its own syntax and own logic, it doesn't apply the ASSIGN algorithm at all. With ABAP source code, you have to use ASSIGN twice, the first one to reach the internal table, then you select the first line, and the second one to reach the component of the line.
The debugger works completely differently, the debugger code works only in debug mode, you can't call the code from the debugger (i.e. if you call it, the kernel code used by the debugger will fail). No, there's no "abappath". There are the XSL transformation objects (xpath), but it's slow for what you ask.
Thank you very much
This seems to be a rather unexpected limitation of the ASSIGN statement. Probably worth a ticket to SAP's ABAP language group to clarify whether it's even a bug.
While this works:
ASSIGN data-some_table[ 1 ]-some_field TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lv_source>).
the same expressed as a string doesn't:
ASSIGN (`data-some_table[ 1 ]-some_field`) TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lv_source>).
Alternative 1 for (name) of the ABAP keyword documentation for the ASSIGN statement says that "[t]he name in name is structured in the same way as if specified directly".
However, this declaration is immediately followed by "the content of name must be the name of a data object which may contain offsets and lengths, structure component selectors, and component selectors for assigning structured data objects and attributes in classes or objects", a list that does not include the table expressions we would need here.
I'm writing a tool to add variables to a2l file, the input is elf file.
For searching which compile unit (CU) has the variable, I have to search through all CUs (till meet the variable).
Because the SW is very big, it takes time to find a variable.
I would like to know if there's any faster way to know which CU the variable is defined ?
The DWARF standard includes an optional section, .debug_pubnames, that provides name-to-offset translation for global objects and functions.
Another approach is to use the symbol table. If it has an entry for the variable then you can use its address with the optional .debug_aranges section or, failing that, read every DW_TAG_compile_unit looking for the one with the enclosing address range.
prompted for user entry by I'm new to ant and I was wondering if it would be possible to create a global variable in the build file so that I can use it repeatedly throughout the file itself.
For example, if the command were 'ant a', I would be able to use that value 'a' throughout the build file (for example in a file path i.e C:/test/a).
The reason I want to know how to do this is because there are multiple values like 'a' (lets say all the letters in the alphabet), and instead of copying and pasting the same code 26 times, I would be able to have 1 piece of code that takes different values (depending on what the user enters). In java you are able to have a variable storing the user input, and use that variable throughout the code (same idea here).
I tried searching for this but wasn't sure how to word it.
UPDATE
With the help of some people I managed to solve what I needed.
So I managed to use Input Task to kind of fix my problem. I prompted the user for an entry by using the following command:
Then I can just use the value entered by the user anywhere i want by simply writing ${hold.it}. For example in a file path "C:/go/to/${hold.it}"
Have a look at Ant properties and the property task used to set them. For example, you can define a property named prop1 and pass its value using ant -Dprop1=some_value.
A property is "global" since after defining it, any part of the buildfile can use it.
Inside an Objective-C method, it is possible to get the selector of the method with the keyword _cmd. Does such a thing exist for the names of arguments?
For example, if I have a method declared as such:
- (void)methodWithAnArgument:(id)foo {
...
}
Is there some sort of construct that would allow me to get access to some sort of string-like representation of the variable name? That is, not the value of foo, but something that actually reflects the variable name "foo" in a local variable inside the method.
This information doesn't appear to be stored in NSInvocation or any of its related classes (NSMethodSignature, etc), so I'm not optimistic this can be done using Apple's frameworks or the runtime. I suspect it might be possible with some sort of compile-time macro, but I'm unfamiliar with C macros so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Edit to contain more information about what I'm actually trying to do.
I'm building a tool to help make working with third-party URL schemes easier. There are two sides to how I want my API to look:
As a consumer of a URL scheme, I can call a method like [twitterHandler showUserWithScreenName:#"someTwitterHandle"];
As a creator of an app with a URL scheme, I can define my URLs in a plist dictionary, whose key-value pairs look something like #"showUserWithScreenName": #"twitter://user?screenName={screenName}".
What I'm working on now is finding the best way to glue these together. The current fully-functioning implementation of showUserWithScreenName: looks something like this:
- (void)showUserWithScreenName:(NSString *)screenName {
[self performCommand:NSStringFromSelector(_cmd) withArguments:#{#"screenName": screenName}];
}
Where performCommand:withArguments: is a method that (besides some other logic) looks up the command key in the plist (in this case "showUserWithScreenName:") and evaluates the value as a template using the passed dictionary as the values to bind.
The problem I'm trying to solve: there are dozens of methods like this that look exactly the same, but just swap out the dictionary definition to contain the correct template params. In every case, the desired dictionary key is the name of the parameter. I'm trying to find a way to minimize my boilerplate.
In practice, I assume I'm going to accept that there will be some boilerplate needed, but I can probably make it ever-so-slightly cleaner thanks to NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings (thanks #CodaFi — I wasn't familiar with that macro!). For the sake of argument, I'm curious if it would be possible to completely metaprogram this using something like forwardInvocation:, which as far as I can tell would require some way to access parameter names.
You can use componentsSeparatedByString: with a : after you get the string from NSStringFromSelector(_cmd) and use your #selector's argument names to put the arguments in the correct order.
You can also take a look at this post, which is describing the method naming conventions in Objective C
