This pattern repeats. I need to find a way to process this string so that I have the values of userAccountName:, userCompany: etc. (i.e. preferably in a...
I want to get the filename (without extension) and the extension separately. The best solution I found so far is: NAME=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f1` EXTENSION=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f2` This is bad because it doesn't work if the filename contains multiple "." characters. If let's say I have a.b.js it will consider a and b.js, in...

I have asked a similar question here before, but I need to know if this little tweak is possible. I want to shorten a string to 100 characters and use $small = substr($big, 0, 100); to do so. However, this just takes the first 100 characters and doesn't care whether it breaks up a word or not. Is there any way to take up to the first ...
I posted this before and got a few answers that haven't worked for me so far. Therefore I'm going to post part of my code so you can see what I'm talking about. The highlighted part is what I pulled from another post and it's not working for me right now. I'm using visual studio 2008 and the program was written in Basic. I pulled mos...

What language should I use for file and string manipulation? This might seem objective, but really isn't I think. There's lot to say about this. For example I can see clearly that for most usages Perl would be a more obvious candidate than Java. I need to do this quite often and at this time I use C# for it, but I would like a more scr...
I wrote this. Yes, I know it's VB6. Yes, it is production code, and, yeah, I know it uses gotos. I am a lazy, evil beast ...

This is what I have now - which looks too verbose for the work it is doing. @title = tokens[Title].strip! || tokens[Title] if !tokens[Title].nil? Assume tokens is a array obtained by splitting a CSV line. now the functions like strip! chomp! et. all return nil if the string was not modified "abc".strip! # => nil " abc ".str...
Howdy, If I have a string between 2 square brackets that I have created on a page, how would I go about storing that value in a variable and deleting the square brackets? Example [String I want] So I'm left with var mystring = "String I want" UPDATE: It appears I can't reply to any of you. SO must be acting up. Anyway this is w...
I am pretty new to C# and I am pretty sure this function can be radically improved: public static Boolean SuffixExists(String strWhole, String sufx) { int iLen = sufx.Length; if (iLen > 0) { String s; s = strWhole.Substring(strWhole.Length - iLen, iLen); if (sufx != s) retu...
