The problem is that it doesn't return the stats in a structured format, it returns it in plain text (like a df -k command in UNIX) I can capture the output and parse it, but I was wondering if there's a...

I've got a JSP page with a piece of Javascript validation code which limits to a certain amount of characters on submit. I'm using a <textarea> so I can't simply use a length attribute like in a <input type="text">. I use document.getElementById("text").value.length to get the string length. I'm running Firefox 3.0 on Windows (but I've ...
Given a string with replacement keys in it, how can I most efficiently replace these keys with runtime values, using Java? I need to do this often, fast, and on reasonably long strings (say, on average, 1-2kb). The form of the keys is my choice, since I'm providing the templates here too. Here's an example (please don't get hung up on...

CodeSmith has a nice StringUtils class that can be used to change database object names to singular, plural, camel case, pascal case, etc... Very useful for creating data access layers in their code generation tool. I'm trying to port some CodeSmith templates to the T4 template files used by Visual Studio, and I'm trying to find a si...
I'm using a string builder to build some SQL Scripts. I have a few Boolean Properties that I would like to test and then output different text based on true/false.

If I have a string such as "17:31:51 up 134 days, 11:26, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.15, 0.10" what is the best way to extract just the x3 load average values at the end? I have written a regexp that does this but is this the most efficient / fastest method? >>> s = "17:31:51 up 134 days, 11:26, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.15,...
I've been tinkering with small functions on my own time, trying to find ways to refactor them (I recently read Martin Fowler's book Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code). I found the following function MakeNiceString() while updating another part of the codebase near it, and it looked like a good candidate to mess with. A...

Something that was mentioned is that string literals are considered mutable, so in a loop it is better to use a variable then a literal, as a new string will get instantiated at every ...
I'm looking to determine whether a string value from a user input (UITextField) is "blank" if it's not nil. Checking if [textField.text isEqualToString:""] isn't quite enough because I want to avoid any blank/whitespace input (like say a few space characters). There does seem to be an indication of a good solution for my particular pro...
