Writing CSV file. myPackage.MyClass cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence



I need to write List<MyClass> myList into CSV file. In particular I need to write values . MyClass has the following implementation:







public class MyClass {

private Object[] values;

//...

@Override

public String toString()

{

String line = "";

for (int i=0; i<this.getSize(); i++) {

//if (this.values[i] != null) {

line = line + this.values[i] + " ";

//}

}

return line;

}

}







The code is the following:







private void saveSolutionToCSV(List<MyClass> solution) {

int columnSize = solution.get(0).getSize();

try {

FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("test.csv");

Iterator result = solution.iterator();

while(result.hasNext()) {

for(int i = 0; i < columnSize; i++) {

CharSequence element = (CharSequence)result.next();

writer.append(element);

if(i < columnSize - 1)

writer.append(',');

}

writer.append('\n');

}

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

}







And the error message is the following:







java.lang.ClassCastException: myPackage.MyClass cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence







How to solve this problem? Thx.

  1. Try:

    String element = result.next().toString();
    writer.append(element);
    if(i < columnSize - 1)
    writer.append(',');

  2. You need to call toString() before casting to CharSequence.

  3. Try calling the toString() method explicitly like

    CharSequence element = (CharSequence)result.next().toString();

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
