Advanced scripting
I been looking for a way to speed up my subroutines.
Right now I use set commands for each variable and I was told that you can write java code into the editior.
Anyone ever done this?
s_date = 20091231
{
String year="";
String month="";
String day="";
String date="";
year = s_date.substring(2,4);
month = s_date.substring(4,6 );
day = s_date.substring(6);
date = month+"/"+day+"/"+year;
}
it should return 12/31/2009 in varible date.
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, you can use the 'DO' object in the general folder. In your example you are better of using a 'set'.
Use your date object in the set and type this in the expression editor:
{
String s_date = "20091231";
int year = int.valueOf((s_date.substring(2,4)));
int month = int.valueOf((s_date.substring(4,6 )));
int day = int.valueOf((s_date.substring(6)));
return new Date(year,month,day);
}
If you want to put it in a coulple of lines of code you could do this:
{
String s_date = "20091231";
return new Date(int.valueOf((s_date.substring(2,4))),int.valueOf((s_date.substring(4,6 ))),int.valueOf((s_date.substring(6))));
}
Note: You have to have all you code surrounded by { }
