Hi! Is there a pythonic way of reading - say - mixed integer and char input without reading the whole input at once and without worrying about linebreaks? For example I have a file with whitespace-separated data of which I only know that there are x integers, then y chars and then z more integers. I don't want to assume anything about l...

This is a crude korn shell script that someone else wrote. I don't know much about using shell syntax and I'm not even sure if this is possible. Is there any way for me to run this file and be prompted for the date so that I don't have to manually go into the script and change it each time? For example, I wan to replace the "1/12/09" ...
I'm trying to write a program in C (on linux) that loops until the user presses a key, but shouldn't require a keypress to continue each loop. Is there a simple way to do this? I figure I could possibly do it with select() but that seems like a lot of work. Alternatively, is there a way to catch a control-c keypress to do cleanup befor...
Hi, I've noticed that the <input> element in HTML ignores the CSS pair of "left" and "right" properties. Same for the pair "top" and "bottom". See the sample code below: <html> <head> <style><!-- #someid { position: absolute; left: 10px; right: 10px; top: 10px; bottom: 10px; } --></...
Hi, im re-factoring php on zend code and all the code is full of $_GET["this"] and $_POST["that"]. I have always used the more phpish $this->_request->getPost('this') and $this->_request->getQuery('that') (this one being not so much logical with the getquery insteado of getGet). So i was wondering if my method was safer/better/easier t...
When clicking on the text box part of an <input type="file" /> in FireFox3, a file browsing window opens. This doesn't happen in IE7. You have to click the "browse" button to open the file browsing window. How can I prevent the file browsing window from opening in FireFox when a user clicks on the textbox area? I'd like it so it only...

I'm currently working on a reasonably complicated data input form, based around ASP.NET Web Forms. After the form has been completed, we'd like to offer a chance for the user to review their input before actually submitting the form (as well as going back to make changes to their data if requried). Due to the large number of fields, I w...
I'm building a student rostering application for a friend and I'm just about done except for the GUI. I'm writing it in wxpython but I'm not sure how to proceed with the input fields because it is a relational database. Is there a simple way to do this? ...
I'm building a test harness for my Delphi 2009 app. Testing the logic is fairly simple. Making sure the forms work properly is proving a bit more complicated. I'd like a way to simulate real user input, to open a form, make it think there's a user typing certain things and clicking in certain places, and make sure it reacts correctly....
I have recently started learning Perl and one of my latest assignments involves searching a bunch of files for a particular string. The user provides the directory name as an argument and the program searches all the files in that directory for the pattern. Using readdir() I have managed to build an array with all the searchable file nam...

I want to read UTF-8 input in Perl, no matter if it comes from the standard input or from a file, using the diamond operator: while(<>){...}. So my script should be callable in these two ways, as usual, giving the same output: ./script.pl utf8.txt cat utf8.txt | ./script.pl But the outputs differ! Only the second call (using cat) see...
I have two forms. Form A has three text input; A1, A2, A3. Form B has one text input, B1. Whenever you type in any of the inputs on Form A, Form B should get updated, right away, with all three inputs from Form A. If one of the Form A inputs is empty, a 0 should replace it in B1. For example, if I'm typing "test" in A1 and leave A...
I have a website design that includes text input fields that look like this: I'm wondering what the best solution for creating this input field is. One idea I have is to always have a div around the input with a background image and all the borders disabled on the input field and specified width in pixels, such as: <div class="borde...
