String.format

Peter Haub
Hi,
I would like to execute the macro function:

s = String.format("%04d", 13);
print(s);

but I get the error message
"java.util.IllegalFormatConversionException: d != java.lang.Double in
line 1:"
"s = String . format ( "%04d" , 13 <)> ;"

If the number is float and not integer It's working:

s = String.format("%04f", 13.0);
print(s);

Could this be a bug?

I suspect that all numbers are doubles in macros.

Change the ‘d’ (integer) to ‘f’ (float) and it will work. All numbers in the ImageJ macro language are stored as doubles.

Thanks Kenneth,

but this issue could be solved by changing the current implementation in
Functions.java  doString()

from
         else if (name.equals("format")) {
             try {return String.format(getFirstString(), getLastArg());}
             catch (Exception e) {interp.error(""+e);}
             return null;
         }
         ...

to
         ...
         else if (name.equals("format")) {
             String formatStr = getFirstString();
             double num = getLastArg();
             try {
                 if (formatStr.contains("d"))
                     return String.format(formatStr, (int) num);
                 else
                     return String.format(formatStr, num);}
             catch (Exception e) {interp.error(""+e);}
             return null;
         }
         ...

Here is a use case

The easy way to add leading zeros to an integer is to use the IJ.pad(n,digits) function. It is not obvious how to do it using String.format().

Re: String.format

Michael Schmid
In reply to this post by Peter Haub
Hi Peter,

sorry, one can't replace all 'd' characters in the format string with
'f'. The format string can also contain text, e.g.
   String.format("did you know: pi=%f", 3.14159);
prints
   did you know: pi=3.141590

The 'd's of "did" would be also replaced.

One might replace all "%d", but then one should also care about "%+9f"
(uses a minimum of 9 characters and always prints the sign) etc.
It might be possible to find a regular expression for replacing all the
variants (keeping the flags and width, and resulting in
"%<flags><width>f.0"), but it is not so easy.

Michael

Re: String.format

Stein Rørvik
In reply to this post by Peter Haub
Peter,

If what you want to do is to zero pad an integer,
you can do this by formatting it as a float specifying zero decimals:

        s = String.format("%04.0f", 13);
        print(s);

prints 0013

        str = String.format("%09.5f", PI);
        print(str);

prints 003.14159

The last syntax is useful as it allows for more complex number formatting.
You can for example pad with spaces instead:
        str = String.format("% 9.5f", PI);

Apparently, String.format does not work as expected with numbers if you omit the .n decimal specification in the format string.

The IJ.pad() function is easier to use, but only works with integers.

Re: String.format

Herbie
In case it matters, the following macro function (that works similarly
in Java) does it in a handcrafted fashion:

///////
requires("1.53f");
string = preZeros( d2s( PI, 5 ), 3 );
print( string );

function preZeros( inStr, n ){
    if ( inStr.contains( "." ) ) {
       str = split( inStr, "[.]" );
       inStr = str[0];
       dec = "." + str[1];
    }
    while ( inStr.length() < n ) inStr = "0" + inStr;
    return inStr + dec;
}
//////

Have fun

Herbie

Re: String.format

Peter Haub
Dear Stein,
Dear Herbie,

Thanks for your helpful and useful suggestions
+++ :-)

Peter

ps: Herbie, you are absolutely right ...
Commands like

run("Find Maxima...", "noise=&noise output=&output light");

are absolutely correct
(according to https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/macros.html)
