This should be easy, but I'm not sure how to best go about it. I have a WinForms app that lets the user type in long descriptions. Occaisionally, they would type in URLs, and the RichTextBox would recognize them and make them clickable when displayed.

Goal as of this moment To double space the output stored in the $tmp variable below and individually number each line. Doing this should give m...

Currently I have this: $lines = preg_split("/\r?\n|\r/", $content); // content is the giv...

For example, in an email input box, I get an email address, and want to see if it is in the correct format. What jQuery function should I use to see if my validating regular expression matches the input? I've googled for a solution, b...

What ways can one turn these sort of things into LaTeX quotes, with the appropriate semantics. i.e. Ben said ``buttons, dear sir''. I replied ``Did you say `buttons'?'' to him. So that LaTeX produces: Ben said...

Because I often go months without writing any perl, I rely heavily on my dog-eared Camel Book to remind me how to do things. However, when I copy recipes verbatim with no understanding, this bothers me. This is one of the mos...
