I want to use Perl to extract information from a Certificate Signing Request, preferably without launching an external openssl process. Since a CSR is stored in a base64-encoded ASN.1 format, I tried the Convert::PEM module. But it requires an ASN.1 description of the content, which I haven't been able to put together (ASN.1 being the be...

Is there a simple way to parse a date that may be in MM/DD/yyyy, or M/D/yyyy, or some combination? i.e. the zero is optional before a single digit day or month. To do it manually, one could use: String[] dateFields = dateString.split("/"); int month = Integer.parseInt(dateFields[0]); int day = Integer.parseInt(dateFields[1]); int year ...

Can anyone recommend a lightweight JavaScript XML-RPC library? After researching this a while ago, I couldn't find anything I was comfortable with, so I kinda ended up writing my own. However, maybe that was stupid, as there must be something suitable out there!? My own pseudo-library is mainly missing a way to turn an XML-RPC response...
I'm looking for syntatic examples or common techniques for doing regular expression style transformations on words instead of characters, given a procedural language. For example, to trace copying, one would want to create a document with similar meaning but with different word choices. I'd like to be able to concisely define these po...

I want to build a parser for a C like language. The interesting aspect about it is that I want to build it in such a way that someone who has access to the source can easily modified it to extend the language (a new expression type of instance) with the extensions being runtime configurable (they can be turned on and off). My current in...
I have a string which is like this: this is [bracket test] "and quotes test " I'm trying to write something in Python to split it up by space while ignoring spaces within square braces and quotes. The result I'm looking for is: ['this','is','bracket test','and quotes test '] ...
I've recently been trying to create units tests for some legacy code. I've been taking the approach of using the linker to show me which functions cause link errors, greping the source to find the definition and creating a stub from that. Is there an easier way? Is there some kind of C++ parser that can give me class definitions, in ...

So lets say I'm using Python's ftplib to retrieve a list of log files from an FTP server. How would I parse that list of files to get just the file names (the last column) inside a list? See the link above for example output. ...
Hello everyone. I'm working on an app which scrapes data from a website and I was wondering how I should go about getting the data. Specifically I need data contained in a number of div tags which use a specific CSS class - Currently (for testing purposes) I'm just checking for "div class = "classname"" in each line of HTML - This wor...
Is there a simple way to support wildcards ("*") when searching strings - without using RegEx? Users are supposed to enter search terms using wildcards, but should not have to deal with the complexity of RegEx: "foo*" => str.startswith("foo") "*foo" => str.endswith("foo") "*foo*" => "foo" in str (it gets more complicated when...
Is there a good way to remove HTML from a Java string? A simple regex like replaceAll("\\<.*?>","") will work, but things like & wont be converted correctly and non-HTML between the two angle brackets will be removed (ie the .*? in the regex will disappear). ...

I were reading about parsers and parser generators when I hit upon this statement in wikipedia's LR parsing -page: "Many programming languages can be parsed using some variation of an LR parser. One notable exception is C++." Why is it so? What particular property in C++ causes it to be impossible to parse with LR parsers? I first tri...
My knowledge about implementing a parser is a bit rusty. I have no idea about the current state of research in the area, and could need some links regarding recent advances and their impact on performance. General resources about writing a parser are also welcome, (tutorials, guides etc.) since much of what I had learned at college I ...
