Hi, I'm starting to develop for the iPhone.

Hey fellas... OK, a recent quiz entry tasked the student with writing a method 'longhead' (char *longhead) that would return a string consisting of the concatenation of all of the heads in a given string. Example: char *string = "this"; printf("%s\n", longhead(string)); OUTPUT: tththithis I did come up with a solution, but it works ...

The command below for Windows Speech Recognition forces the speech recognition engine to use literal text (""all seventy six people paid five dollars") instead of the default ("all 76 people paid $5"). I'm trying to adapt this command to remove the spaces between words so that I could program using speech by saying things like: "Securi...

Ola Folks, I want to populate an NSMutableString at runtime by both assigning a specific number (0-255) to an element and appendFormat to add to the string. If this were an unsigned char array, I could just directly assign the number using: UnsignedCharRay[SomeIndex] = 5; For reasons I think I understand but do not like, NSMutable...

Things like the code below is super slow: var str:String = "" for (var i:Number = 0 ; i<1000000000000000000 ; ++i) { str += "someLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongString"; } There is StringBuilder in Java but seems there is no equivalent for AS. So, how do you guys handle large strings concatenation? Update: Thanks for every...
Hello, I'm building a short quiz where the user needs to input the meaning of an acronym. This means I need to compare a long string (usually a sentence) typed in by the user with an acronym. I have a feeling I'm not doing it right. For my testing I'm copy-pasting the correct answer to make sure the spelling is correct however I keep get...
Is it possible for code like this to be not thread safe? It is a static method and we are using an local instance of stringbuilder. I guess the input strings might be held by other objects? public static String cat(final String ... strings) { ... ... final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(totLength); for (int i = ...
Using jQuery, I'd like to remove the whitespace and line breaks between HTML tags. var widgetHTML = ' <div id="widget"> <h2>Widget</h2><p>Hi.</p> </div>'; Should be: alert(widgetHTML); // <div id="widget"><h2>Widget</h2><p>Hi.</p></div> I think the pattern I will need is: >[\s]*< Can this be accomplished without...

Example collection: A, B, C, D, E, etc. I want to be able to output these values to a string with line feeds in one swoop with Linq if possible. Sample Output: A B C D E etc. Here's the VB.NET code that does the job currently: For Each fieldValue As String In field.Va...
Is there a language agnostic algorithm to name tuples? Specifically, I want the following function: 1 => Single 2 => Double 3 => Triple 4 => Quadruple ... 10 => Decuple ... 100 => Centuple First of all, is this human-language independent? For example, will that be understood in Spain and Russia? Secondly, what is t...
I've been attempting to use the C++ stringstream class to do some relatively simple string manipulations, but I'm having a problem with the get() method. For some reason whenever I extract the output character by character it appends a second copy of the final letter. #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <string> using namesp...
I need to split a string into newlines in .NET and the only way i know of to split strings is with the Split method. However that will not allow me to (easily) split on a newline, so what is the best way to do it? ...
