Hi, i wonder if it's possible to make a RegEx for the following data pattern: '152: Ashkenazi A, Benlifer A, Korenblit J, Silberstein SD.' string = '152: Ashkenazi A, Benlifer A, Korenblit J, Silberstein SD.'

I'm trying to convert a wchar_t * to BSTR. #include <iostream> #include <atlstr.h> using namespace std; int main() { wchar_t* pwsz = L"foo"; BSTR bstr(pwsz); cout << SysStringLen(bstr) << endl; getchar(); } This prints 0, which is less than what I'd hoped. What is the correct way to do this conversion? ...

Most programming languages have some support for Unicode, but all have some more or less documented corner cases, where things won't work correctly. Examples Java: reverse() in StringBuilder/StringBuffer work correctly. But length(), charAt(), etc. in String do not if a character needs more than 16bit to encode. C#: Didn't find a co...
I am unable to use the fabulous tr() at the moment as I can only use Groovy 1.7.1 and wanted to know if there is an elegant way of going backwards and forwards between string and number encoded with Base32, but with the values A to Z then 2 to 7, rather than 0 to 9 then A to V.

I'm working on an app that involves a lot of carefully designed strings. I'm in the process of designing the string format and for that I need to know what's possible and what's not when I'm querying the same data.

Hi Guys, Trying not to repeat myself (to be DRY) here, help me out. =) I have a double which represents a rating / 5. The possible values are: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.
