How do I parse CSV files with escaped newlines in Ruby? I don't see anything obvious in CSV or FasterCSV. Here is some example input: "foo", "bar" "rah", "baz \ and stuff" "green", "red" In Python, I would do this: csvFile = "foo.csv" csv.register_dialect('blah', escapechar='\\') csvReader = csv.reader(open(csvFile), "blah") ...
I have a class with a property marked with [XmlText], that accepts multiline input. In my XML file, I've verified that the line endings inside the text content are infact "\r\n", the same as the rest of the file. The code I'm using to deserialize is: XmlSerializer configSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(WorldList)); string file = "...
I have some javascript that manipulates html based on what the user has selected. For real browsers the methods I'm using leverage the "Range" object, obtained as such: var sel = window.getSelection(); var range = sel.getRangeAt(0); var content = range.toString(); The content variable contains all the selected text, which ...

I just updated a page to use a DetailsView in asp.net. It included a MultiLine textbox, which is now in the EditItemTemplate of the details view. The problem is that when outputting this data (which is stored in the database), I was replacing vbCrLf (a new line contant --> VB, Carriage Return, Line Feed) with <br/>, which worked fine b...
In a textbox of a userform in VBA, I would like to enable the feature where the user can add a new line in the textbox by pressing the "Enter" key on the keyboard. However, I had trouble finding a UI option in the UI editor to achieve this. Is this even allowed in VBA userforms? Thanks in advance for the advices and answers. ...
I'm trying to make an action that returns a file from disk to the user (via little download dialog popup box.) I've got it working great, except somehow a newline is being inserted as the first character. This breaks jpeg and doc files, for example. If I remove the newline from the downloaded file, the files work. I've also looked throu...
When I open a text file in Notepad, it shows a blank line if there is a carriage return at the end of the last line containing text. However, in Vim it does not show this blank line. Another thing I've noticed is that the Vim editor adds a carriage return to the last line by default (even though it doesn't show it). I can tell, because i...

Hi gurus, How to know that fscanf reached a new line \n in a file. I have been using my own functions for doing that. I know I can use fgets and then sscanf for my required pattern. But my requirements are not stable, some times I want to get TAB separated strings, some times new line separated strings and some times some special charac...
I am using the following conditional statement to read from standard input. if ((n = read(0,buf,sizeof(buf))) != 0) When inputting data from standard input, generally the user presses enter when done. But read() considers '\n' as input too in which case n = 1 and the conditional doesn't evaluate to false. Is there a way to make the co...

I have an application in VB.NET which gets "String" data from the database. This String has data which looks as below: "This is the update: I have an issue with the application" I need only part of the data, that comes after the new line i.e. "I have an issue with the application". For this I am trying to search the position usi...
Hi all, I've been doing some reading on mysqli_real_escape_string(), and, after getting my content properly escaped, I'm having some trouble getting to display properly when I pull it out again.

hi, I have a javascript function that takes in a parameter that is given by a php session. This works well except when the value is from a text area that contains a newline character. I guess it appears as if I'm passing in a parameter and then the newline indicates I have stopped or something like that. Please advise on how to fix this...
I have a script that copies table cells from the browser into the user's clipboard. I loop through each cell and when a new line is needed I use text += "\n"; If I paste the text into excel, it formats correctly and fills in the proper rows, however if I paste into notepad, it shows a symbol instead of creating a new line: 123□456□78...

I am trying to add a line of text to a TextBox component in VB.net, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to force a new line. Right now it just adds onto what I have already, and that is not good. I have tried copying the actual linebreaks, didn't work. I tried AppendText(), didn't work. How on earth do I do this? It is multi...
