[nithyanand11]

In ireport, if am try to display a string like "1234567890-abcdefgh" in text box with width - "15",  but its just showing

"1234567890-     " remaining "abcdefgh"  was skipped and displayed in second line.. but i need to display like

"1234567890-abcd" , just to display the string as much space available. please help which escaping method will be suitable to

handle this scenario.

See the net.sf.jasperreports.text.truncate.at.char property.

thank you, but still am having some issues. i gave "JRPrintText.getFullText($F{HOSTNAME})" in Text Fieldexpression.. i got

Error:

Compilation exceptions: com.jaspersoft.ireport.designer.compiler.ErrorsCollector@136d4 net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:
1. The method getFullText() in the type JRPrintText is not applicable for the arguments (String)                
        value = (java.lang.String)(JRPrintText.getFullText(((java.lang.String)field_MYTEXT.getValue()))); //$JR_EXPR_ID=28$

 

 

i saw many functions but it will very mush helpful to me if i got some examples or any sample implementation

 

thanks

Why would you use that expression for the text field?  If you want to use the property that I pointed to, all you have to do is to set the property at report or element level as below.

Code:

<jasperReport ...><property name="net.sf.jasperreports.text.truncate.at.char" value="true"/>...<textField>  <reportElement>    <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.text.truncate.at.char" value="true"/>  </reportElement>...
