I am constantly forgetting what the special little codes are for formatting .NET strings. Either through ToString() or using String.Format(). Alignment, padding, month vs. minute (month is uppercase M?), abbreviation vs. full word, etc. I can never remember. I have the same problem with regexes, but luckily there's Expresso to help me o...
I'm creating a custom control, part of which is using the Graphics class to draw text to the form. Currently I'm using the following code to display it: private float _lineHeight { get { return this.Font.Size + 5; } } private void Control_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics(); Brush b = new ...
When I say simple, I mean, within an expression, so that I can stick it in as a value in a hash without preparing it first. I'll post my solution but I'm looking for a better one that reminds me less of VB. :) ...

What are reasons to prefer one or th...

What are the best practices for handling strings in C++? I'm wondering especially how to handle the following cases: File input/output of text and XML files, which may be written in different encodings. What is the recommended way of handling this, and how to retrieve the values? I guess, a XML node may contain UTF-16 text, and then I ...
It was hinted in a comment to an answer to this question that PHP can not reverse Unicode strings. As for Unicode, it works in PHP because most apps process it as binary. Yes, PHP is 8-bit clean. Try the equivalent of this in PHP: perl -Mutf8 -e 'print scalar reverse("ほげほげ")' You will get garbage, not "げほげほ". – jrockway ...
Hello, I'm changing our application from "one set of code & one database" to "one set of code to multiple databases (one database per customer)". The original code is VS2005 ASP.NET(VB) & lots of XSD's in a separate DLL. The web.config's ConnectionString would override the one stored in the DLL at runtime. Now I need to change the Con...
I am getting to the last stage of my rope (a more scalable version of String) implementation. Obviously, I want all operations to give the same result as the operations on Strings whenever possible. Doing this for ordinal operations is pretty simple, but I am worried about implementing culture-sensitive operations correctly. Especially...
Some background: If I wanted to use for, for instance, scanf() to convert a string into a standard integer type, like uint16_t, I’d use SCNu16 from <inttypes.h>, like this: #include <stdio.h> #include <inttypes.h> uint16_t x; char *xs = "17"; sscanf(xs, "%" SCNu16, &x); But a more uncommon integer type like pid_t does not have any suc...
"\u4000\f".TrimEnd(new char[0]) is equal to "\u4000". I am passing an empty array, so according to the MSDN documentation nothing should be removed and "\u4000\f" should be returned. Is there a reason for this behaviour? EDIT: Clarified expected behaviour EDIT: Apparently, this changed in 3.5, I was looking at the 2.0 documentation...
So I have 1000 lines of javascript. I need to turn it into a Java String so that I can output (via System.out.println or whatever). I'm looking for an online tool to escape all the quotes... something geared toward my specific need would be nice as I don't want other special characters changed. Lines like: var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3...
I'm trying to use this code to replace spaces with _, it works for the first space in the string but all the other instances of spaces remain unchanged. Anybody know why? function updateKey() { var key=$("#title").val(); key=key.replace(" ","_"); $("#url_key").val(key); } ...

The best that I have been able to come up with is: strlen(preg_replace('/^([\\*]*)\s(.+)/',"$1",$line)); ^^That seems to give the length of the string.^^ edit: I think that I should clarify that the character that I am trying to find is '*' ...
Hi all: I'm writing some unit tests which are going to verify our handling of various resources that use other character sets apart from the normal latin alphabet: Cyrilic, Hebrew etc. The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to embed the expectations in the test source file: here's an example of what I'm trying to do... /// //...
Consider the 2 following methods of reading a string from a file: NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foo" ofType:@"txt"]; NSString *string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:NULL]; NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foo" ofType:@"txt"]; NSFileH...
