What is the fastest way to implement something like this in C#: private List<string> _myMatches = new List<string>(){"one","two","three"}; private bool Exists(string foo) { return _myMatches.Contains(foo); } note, this is just a example. i just need to perform low level filtering on some values that originate as strings. I...

I need to import file sequences into a Qt program. Import itself is not hard, but I'm pondering what might be the most easiest way to detect if the files form a sequence, e.g.: filename_00001.png filename_00002.png filename_00003.png etc. Now, I have a drag'n'drop import working, and I'm sorting the list of imported files alphabetical...

Here's a very basic example: s1 = 'name/with/slashes' s2 = 'name ' def clean(s): s = s.replace('/','') s = s.strip() return s print clean(s1)+'_'#the _ is there so I can see the end of the string That is a very n...
Hello, After having read up on RE/NFA and DFA, it seems that finding a substring within a string might actually be asymptotically faster using an RE rather than a brute force O(mn) find. My reasoning is that a DFA would actually maintain state and avoid processing each character in the "haystack" more than once. Hence, searches in long...

I know in PHP we can do something like this : $hello = "foo"; $my_string = "I pity the $hello"; output : "I pity the foo" I was wondering if this same thing is possible in JavaScript as well. Using variables inside strings without using concatenation -- it looks more concise and elegant to write. ...

I currently have a string that I want to limit to 200 characters. I don't know how to format it so if it's less, it wont change, but if its more, it will trim it. This is in a ListView Control, NOT a Repeater. Sorry for that, my mistake. <ItemTemplate> <div class="portfolio_title"> <div class="custom_title"> <%# DataBinder.Eval(Contai...

In short I am looking for something like google-diff-match-patch in PHP. I have had a look at some similar questions at SO, and also at the algorithm provided here, but all of them fail: diff("draßen", "da draußen") should not give <del>draßen</del> <ins>da draußen</ins> (which is kind of stupid for my purpose, because I want to...

How do I determine which is true? To be specific, I want to iterate over the prop...

Since strings are copied before being passed, isn't it much more efficient (if the callee doesn't need a copy of string course) to pass strings ByRef?...
