Method Detail

d

public static double d(Object data)

Convert a data object to a double value, null translates to zero. Accepted types are String or java.lang.Number (Double, Float, Integer, etc). All other types return 0.

f

public static float f(Object data)

Convert a data object to a float value, null translates to zero. Accepted types are String or java.lang.Number (Double, Float, Integer, etc). All other types return 0.

i

public static int i(Object data)

Convert a data object to an integer value, null translates to zero. Accepted types are String or java.lang.Number (Double, Float, Integer, etc). All other types return 0.

b

public static boolean b(Object data)

Convert a data object to an integer value, null translates to false. Accepted types are Boolean, Number (non-zero = true) or String ("y", "yes", or "true" = true ). All other types return 0.

s

public static String s(Object data)

Convert a data object to a String, using toString(). A zero length string will return null. If the data is a number, a little formatting is done, to remove trailing zeroes

t

public static UTime t(Object data)

Convert a data object to a UTime object, using format HHMMSS

t

public static UTime t(Object data,
                      UTime.Format format)

Convert a data object to a UTime object, using a supplied format, or HHMMSS if none. Null returns a time of zero. Accepted types are Number or String, with number being interpreted as seconds, String is parsed by UTime.
