Java to pascal/delphi

[pastra]

Hi, can anyone help me with this code written i java..

If you have the required knowledge, please help.!



I started translating this JAVA into pascal code:

Delphi-Quellcode:

public static String decodeString(String s)
    {
        return decodeString(new QStringBuffer(), s).toString();
    }

    public static QStringBuffer decodeString(QStringBuffer qstringbuffer, String s)
    {
        if(s == null)
            return qstringbuffer;
        int i = s.length();
        for(int j = 0; j < i; j++)
        {
            char c = s.charAt(j);
            if(c == '&')
            {
                if(i < j + 5)
                    break;
                int k = 0;
                for(int l = 0; l < 4; l++)
                {
                    j++;
                    k *= 16;
                    k += s.charAt(j) - 65;
                }

                qstringbuffer.append((char)k);
            } else
            {
                qstringbuffer.append(c);
            }
        }

        return qstringbuffer;
    }

>>>>>>>>>> And now my (poor) result in rewriting it, many og the for loops and stuff I DIDNT manedge to translate, but here goes:

Delphi-Quellcode:

function decodeString(String s)
begin
result:= decodeString(new QStringBuffer(), s).toString();
end;


    function QStringBuffer decodeString(QStringBuffer qstringbuffer, String s)
    var
    i,k,j,l:integer;
    c:char;
    qstringbuffer: Tstringlist;
    begin
        if(s == null)
        result:= qstringbuffer;
        i = length(s);

        for(j = 0; j < i; j++)
        begin
            c = s[j];
            if c ='&' then
            begin
                if(i < j + 5)
                    break;
                k = 0;
                for(l = 0; l < 4; l++)
                begin
                    j:=j+1;
                    k :=k*16;
                    k =k+s[j] - 65;
                end;

                qstringbuffer.append((char)k);
            end else
            begin
                qstringbuffer.append(c);
            end;
        end;

        result:= qstringbuffer;
    end;

>>> So How am I dooing so far?.. Any corrections, comments or hints?


Thanks in advance!

First, try to use the BBCode of the Board. Use the [delphi]-Tag oder the [code]-Tag!

Sorry I did not realize that.


I have changed it now..


Any advices ideas to the snippers?

When you wait about ten minutes then i have a solution.

What makes exactly this code? Because i doesn't know how to program with Java

Code:

return decodeString(new QStringBuffer(), s).toString();

Hi again, DecodeString is function that returns a string output from a given input after "altering it", I am NOT programming i JAVA so that is my problem aswell...

The way I see it Decodestring is called like like this:

var
s:string
begin
s:= DecodeString('Hello');
end;

It creates a new QStringBuffer and Casts it to a string.

LOL 'what makes this code' i think he 'makes' nothing. he is doing a lot
My Java isn't good enough to translate, but here some tips for pascal-language:
to compare to variables, you use '=', e.g.
  if s1=s2 then whatever; to assign a variable you use ':=', e.g

  s1:=s2; Furthermore there is no

Code:

  l++

in delphi/pascal, to increase the value of an integer-var by 1, use
  i:=i+1; or
  inc(i); so far
inh3r1ted

[s.h.a.r.k]

Try this code - there is no guaranty that it's right

Delphi-Quellcode:

function decodeStringF2(QStringBuffer : TStringList; s: String): TStringList;
var
  i, k, j, l : Integer;
  c : Char;
  Buffer : TStringList;
begin
  Buffer := QStringBuffer;

  if(s <> '') then
  begin
    i := length(s);

    // i had to replace the for because i can't change an counter in a for
    j := 1; // Index in a String is different - in Delphi it starts with 1
    while j < i do
    begin
      c := s[j];
      if c = '&' then
      begin
        if (i < j+5) then break;

        k := 0;
        for l := 0 to 3 do
        begin
          inc(j);
          k := k*16;
          k := k + StrToInt(s[j]) - 65; // Here you habe to be careful! The character here must be a number!
        end;
      end
      else begin
        Buffer.Append(c);
      end;
      inc(j);
    end;
  end;

  Result := Buffer;
end;

function decodeStringF1(s: String): String;
var
  Buffer : TStringList;
begin
  Buffer := TStringList.Create;
  Buffer := decodeStringF2(Buffer, s);
  Result := Buffer.Text;
end;

// Edit
Deleted some test-code!

Hi!

... and Welcome in DP!

I can't help you with your problem but I have a little request to you:
Could you please change the title of this topic? (simply edit your first post)
There a lot of people who are searching for help and so it's not necessary to say "help"! Furthermore the title is easier to read if it's not UPPERCASE!

Thank you!


Ciao Frederic
