Hi, Imagine I have a string - something like this: This is some really cool text about http://google.com/ and it also contains some urls like http://apple.com/ and its very nice!

Hi all - I'd like to build a poker hand-range parser, whereby I can provider a string such as the following (assume a standard 52-card deck, ranks 2-A, s = suited, o = offsuit): "22+,A2s+,AKo-ATo,7d6d" The parser should be able to produce the following combinations: 6 combinations for each of 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, TT, JJ, ...
Basically, I would like a simple, easy, one-file way to parse an INI file with "advanced" features, like section inheritance and property nesting, like Zend_Config_Ini. For example: [foo] a = 1 b.a = 2 b.b = 3 b.c = 4 c = 5 [bar : foo] b.b = 17 c = 42 Would parse into array( 'foo'=>array( 'a'=>'1', 'b'=>array( 'a'=>...

I'm in great need of a way to dig through potentially huge amounts of CGI supplied POST data. With reading the GET data it's no big deal, as I can just re-request the QUERY_STRING environment variable as often as I want, but with POST data which is supplied via stdin. I can only read it in once and have to store it somewhere. My curre...

Here is a summary of what i want to do: 1) read .c/.cpp/.py source files in Python 2) get a list of all the functions in the source files, and the span of their definitions in terms of line numbers.

At work I am parsing large XML files using the DefaultHandler class. Doing that, I noticed that this interface allocates many Strings, for element names, attribute names and values, and so on. From that, I thought about creating an XML parser that only does the absolute minimum of object allocation. Currently I need: one StringBuilder...
I think we all know this page, but the benchmarks provided dated from more than two years ago. So, I would like to know if you could point out the best xml parser around. As I need just a xml parser, the more important thing to me is speed over everything else. My objective is to process some xml feeds (about 25k) that are 4kb in size (t...

Let's say I have a number (e.g. double) and transform it using some format string into a string variable : var str = string.Format("{0:0%}", 0.256); (the content of the str variable is in this case "26%"). Is there any way to parse this string back into the number ? I'm aware that depending on the format string the lossless conversi...
