I am searching an RSS parser written in PHP. The problem is not that I cannot find one. The problem is that there are too many and it's hard to decide which one to use (especially when I have no experience with them and to try them is too time consuming). Can anybody recommend me a "good" RSS parser? The following requirements are impo...
Is there something in the Quartz libraries that provides programmatic access to the fields in a CronExpression? It seems odd (and rather error-prone) if I can only create a CronExpression with a string to parse instead of with getters and setters ...

A lot of websites states that packrat parsers can parse input in linear time. So at the first look they me be faster than LALR parser contructed by the tools yacc or bison.

For example: Sue types in "3*{mysalary}/9=10000" PHP splits this up into two expressions - explode('=',string); PHP takes my list of database fields, and...
Hi all, I have thousands of text files, and each file contains just a single line of text. Any single file looks like this: somevalue1|somevalue2|somevalue3|somevalue4|somevalue5 The format never changes, and from above, you can see how each value is separated by a "|". And there are always exactly 5 values in each file. Can someon...

I would like to write a Perl function that gets a GFF3 filename and a range (i.e. 100000 .. 2000000). and returns a reference to an array containing all names/accessions of genes found in this range. I guess using bioperl will make sense, but I have very little experience with it. I can write a script that parses a GFF3 by my self, but ...

I'm trying to convert user entered times into TimeSpans. Because TimeSpan does not have a TryParseExact method I'm using the one in DateTime and converting the output from it. The formats I want to handle are: 04:00, 0400, 4:00, and 400. The first three aren't a problem and correspond to the first three cases in the if/else structur...
I'm submitting a parameter show_all with the value true. This value isn't associated with a model. My controller is assigning this parameter to an instance variable: @show_all = params[:show_all] However, @show_all.is_a? String, and if @show_all == true always fails. What values does Rails parse as booleans? How can I explicitly spe...
