Convert String to Number

[makroll10]

Hello,
in iReport i want to read with the "substring" function a part from a text field like: $F{Textfeld}.substring(5, 9)

For example of

"10000 015" the part "015"
"20000 023" the part "023"
"30000 057" the part "057"

After that I want to create a variable $V{Sum} (typ = java.lang.Integer, calculation  = sum), to convert the results in a number and create a sum. In the example it is 95.

Unfortunately, it has been abort with "java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Number".

 

But what is wrong with it?

Should go to StackOverflow and ask there how to convert String to Integer in Java.

Hello,
a reference to another board is/ was not the solution to the problem.

I Think the problem lies in the conversion of the string through by the substring command
and the subsequent conversion into the variable...

You need to manually convert the String into an integer by doing Integer.valueOf($F{Textfeld}.substring(5, 9)) or INTEGER_VALUE($F{Textfeld}.substring(5, 9))

(INTEGER_VALUE is a builtin function available in recent versions, it might not work in iReport.)

1. Convert String to Int using Integer.parseInt()

The Integer.parseInt() is a static method of Integer class used in java to converts string to primitive integer.

Example

Note:Parsing is a process of converting one data type to another. For example String to integer is a best way to convert string to int  i hope this may be use full.
