how to check how many file names start with certain chars? - iphone

I have an iphone app that saves some people's data on a single file. Each filename is represented by the user name plus an incremental number, say "tommy1", "tommy2",... , "tommy32", then "sarah1", "sarah2", and so on.
Is it possible to count how many of them are "tommy"'s and how many are "sarah"'s from within the code ?
thanks

and perhaps NSCountedSet.

Google Sheets - Retrieve "A:File1" to "A:File2" where "Sheetname:File1" = "B:File2" if "C:File2" is between "E" and "F" in "File1"

Sorry for the somewhat long title, but I was told to be as specific as possible. :D
My problem will require some explantion.
So, I have 2 spreadsheets files ("Konverteringstabeller" and "Tee Posen").
In "Tee Posen" I have a sheet named "Scores MIK" (golf scorecard and my name).
In "Konverteringstabeller" I have sheets with conversion tables for multiple golf courses, but if one works, all should.
What I need is to find out what course handicap I would get if my golf handicap is "HCP 26,0" (as shown in File 2 Picture), and in this case that result should be 29 (not visible), but you should get the point.
(example: golf hcp 10 would result in course hcp 11, because 10 is between 9,9-10,7)
While I have been able to find the right result, it has only been in the "Konverteringstabeller" spreadsheet file and that is not the place I need it.
I want to have it written in E6 in the "Scores MIK" sheet in File 2.
I should mention that in "Scores MIK : File 2", cell C2 (Ikast Golf Klub) has data validation so I can easily change between the different courses in the "Konverteringstabeller" file once I add more.
What I have been messing with is something with vlookup and importrange with concatenate in it, but I can't figure out how to do it, so I ask for your help.
And I am by no means skilled in the art of Spreadsheets, so I would very much appreciate a detailed explanation.
Picture - Scores MIK (File 2)
Picture - Ikast Golf Klub (File 1)
Thanks in advance!

OK so a couple notes - One is that to join a static cell where you keep the sheet name but allow it to chance you should add '$' around it, also if the rows for B8-E70 will always be the same position on the various sheets you also need to add $ around those as well.
here is an example of the whole formula
=IFERROR(ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(E5:E25;IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet key";"'"&C2&"'!$B$8:$E$70");4;TRUE)))
And lastly - using the "&" operator to concatenate is better at least in my opinion because concatenate sometimes does not work as well with array formula - plus I find it personally quicker and easier to use that having wrap yet another function around my stuff.

Automatically generate Date + 4-digit sequence number for ID in Access 2010+

I need to automatically generate a 12 character value for my Business Key. Without any user interaction.
8 character -> Today Date (yyyymmdd or ddmmyyyy).
+
4 character -> Sequential Number (0001,0002,0003).
The Sequential Number must reset on each new day.
Is it possible to do this in Microsoft Access 2010+ without any coding involved?
Since you are using Access 2010+ the best way to accomplish your goal would be to use a Before Change data macro like this
To create the Before Change macro, click the "Before Change" button on the "Table" tab of the ribbon when the table is open in Datasheet View:
For more details on Data Macros see
Create a data macro
Good question, thanks for the challenge!
After some search, it seems it's possible to do that.
You can prefix the AutoNuber value by processing like the explanation available here: http://www.databasedev.co.uk/add_prefix.html
You can try to specify in the format of the field a format(now(),"ddmmyyyy").

Hope it's helping you!

How can i get prefix pf phone number?

Hello everyone I am trying to get prefix of phone numbers in order to get the actual phone number without country dialing code. How can I achieve this?
Please note that the phone numbers can be
123456789
0099123456789
+9912345678
or any other formats with country code and area code etc..
if you tried like this then it will help some what but not sure ,
NSString *str=[PhoneNumber substringToIndex:[PhoneNumber length]-10];
Taking a look at the amount of different prefixes you can have List of country calling codes [wikipedia] and Internatioal dialing prefix [wikipedia], one could reach the conclusion that without narrowing the area down you'll probably not get very far with this.
If however you'll be handling phone numbers from a specific region to another specific region you might be able to come up with something.

Single barcode with Code128B and Code128C with iTextSharp

I wish to generate a barcode mixing code128B and code128C with iTextSharp DLL. Do you know how to do that ? I currently know only with a single codeset.
By example, I wish to generate a barcode with the value 8L1 91450 883421 0550 001065
where "8L1 91450" is in code128B and "883421 0550 001065" is in code128C.
Thanks
Barcode128 will actually automatically switch from B to C if and when it can but it sounds like you don't want this. For the control that you're looking for you'll need to set your barcode's CodeType property to Barcode.CODE128_RAW and manually set the raw values.
There's a couple of posts out there that give the basic idea but unfortunately they tend to assume to much knowledge of iText or too much knowledge of barcodes.
I'm not a barcode expert either but the basic idea is to create a string that starts with Barcode128.START_B, then the first part of your text, then Barcode128.START_C and then the second. When in raw mode, text isn't ASCII, however. You can use this site to get the character codes for various ASCII values. But basically instead of sending the letter L you'd send (char)44.
Hopefully this gets you started at least.

Ordering of pList Files

I am reading in a pList file that I created. It has a list of categories in it and it reads in each one and creates a button to represent that category. The names are:
cHelp, cFun, cReading-Class
I would prefer that the order in the plist file is kept. But instead I get cReading-Class first, cHelp second, and cFun last.
In the file they are listed has cHelp, cFun, cReading-Class.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to control the order? Modifing the order in the plist doesn't help.
Thanks for any and all help.
Are you talking about you have a plist file that contains a dictionary of category (which itself is a dictionary)? If it is a dictionary, it should have no order, if it is an NSArray, there should have an order. Double check for that
