I have 3 text files many lines of value1<tab>value2 (maybe 600) many more lines of value2<tab>value3 (maybe 1000) many more lines of value2<tab>value4 (maybe 2000) Not all lines match, some will have one or more vals missing. I want to take file 1, read down it and lookup corresponding values in files 2 & 3, and write the output as -...
Hi, I have this string s1 = "My name is X Y Z" and I want to reverse the order of the words so that s1 = "Z Y X is name My". I can do it using an additional array. I thought hard but is it possible to do it inplace (without using additional data structures) and with the time complexity being O(n)? cheers ...
The fact that the replace method returns a string object rather than replacing the contents of a given string is a little obtuse (but understandable when you know that strings are immutable in Java). I am taking a major performance hit by using a deeply nested replace in some code. Is there something I can replace it with that would ma...
I have a String which provides an absolute path to a file (inlcuding the file name). I want to get just the filename. What is the easiest way to do this. It needs to be as general as possible as I cannot know in advance what the URL will be. I can't simply create a URL object and use getFile() - all though that would have been ideal if ...
We have a Java project which contains a large number of English-language strings for user prompts, error messages and so forth. We want to extract all the translatable strings into a properties file so that they can be translated later. For example, we would want to replace: Foo.java String msg = "Hello, " + name + "! Today is " + day...

Does the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace offer me anything to discover whether an input string has ("abc[0-9]" or "^aeiou$") or has not ("abc123") metacharacters? Or do I have to check manually for non-escaped characters in a certain list? ...
In PHP I would use this: $text = "Je prends une thé chaud, s'il vous plaît"; $search = array('é','î','è'); // etc. $replace = array('e','i','e'); // etc. $text = str_replace($search, $replace, $text); But the Java String method "replace" doesn't seem to accept arrays as input. Is there a way to do this (without having to resort to a f...

I have a text area where a user can enter free flow text. I want to separate out lines/occurrences in my Java class based on the below conditions: When the user does not press the enter key, I want to get substrings (texts) of 10 characters each. When the user does press enter, I want to separate that part out and start again counting t...

This is what I was doing in my java class: int interval = 15; items = new ArrayList(); TextIt...
Is there a straightforward way of finding the index of the last occurrence of a string using SQL? I am using SQL Server 2000 right now. I basically need the functionality that the .NET "System.String.LastIndexOf" method provides. A little googling revealed this - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/T-SQL+Aids/31116/ - but that doe...

OK, so I'm working with a little regular expression—it's my first time, please, be gentle—and I've run into a problem where I can set a variable with it but if I try to do anything with that variable it causes problems. Here's my script: $(document).ready(function () { var show_number; var url_param; $("a[rel=more]").live(...

I would like to replace forward slaches to backslashes in emacs lisp. If I use this : (replace-regexp-in-string "\/" "\\" path)) I get an error. (error "Invalid use of `\\' in replacement text") So how to represent the backslash in the second regexp? ...
Are there particular cases where native text manipulation is more desirable than regex? In particular .net? Note: Regex appears to be a highly emotive subject, so I am wary of asking such a question. This question is not inviting personal/profession opinions on regex, only specific situations where a solution including its use is not as...
