I did create a function that transforms diacritic characters into non-diacritic characters (based on this post)
Here’s the code:
Public Function RemoveDiacritics(ByVal searchInString As String) As String
Dim returnValue As String = ""
Dim formD As String = searchInString.Normalize(System.Text.NormalizationForm.FormD)

Hi folks,
I have a set of questions, of which I do not have an answer to.
1) Stripping lists of string
input:
'item1, item2, \t\t\t item3, \n\n\n \t, item4, , , item5, '
output:
['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5']
Anything more efficient than doing the following?
[x.strip() for x in l.split(',') if x.strip()]
2) Clea...
I want to overload the conversion of an object to a string, so that the following example would output the string "TEST" instead of "[object Object]". How do I do this?
function TestObj()
{
this.sValue = "TEST";
}
function Test()
{
var x = new TestObj();
document.write(x);
}

Hello,
I am trying to make a simple text-based game in Python. The idea of which revolves around a deck of playing cards, representing the card face values with A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q, and K (Joker is not used). The suit of the cards will be represented by s,d,h, and c. As an example, "Ace of Hearts" would be represented as Ah.
I am ...
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to replace a string in php that exactly matches with the subject.
For example I got a file named 'hello-world.txt' having three lines:
'http://www.example.com/'

'http://www.example.com/tag/name/'
and I need to replace the 'http://www.example.com/' with 'http://www.example2....

I know that designing state machine generators for regular expressions is not trivial, but what about simple strings (when I say a simple string, I mean something like "abcd" -- something without any regular expression syntax). I was thinking of writing a simple string matcher using state machines, but I wanted the state machine to be ge...

I know, I know, now I have two problems 'n all that, but regex here means I don't have to write two complicated loops. Instead, I have a regex that only I understand, and I'll be employed for yonks.

Imagine I've got 100 numeric matrixes with 5 columns each.
I keep the names of that matrixes in a vector or list:
Mat <- c("GON1EU", "GON2EU", "GON3EU", "NEW4", ....)
I also have a vector of coefficients "coef",
coef <- c(1, 2, 2, 1, ...)
And I want to calculate a resulting vector in this way:
coef[1]*GON1EU[,1]+coef[2]*GON...
With too many arguments, String.format easily gets too confusing. Is there a more powerful way to format a String. Like so:
"This is #{number} string".format("number" -> 1)
Or is this not possible because of type issues (format would need to take a Map[String, Any], I assume; don’t know if this would make things worse).
Or is the bet...
Hello!
Is it ok to do this:
var myString="Hello!";
alert(myString[0]); // shows "H" in an alert window
Or should it be done with either charAt(0) or substr(0,1)?
By "is it ok" I mean will it work on most browsers, is there a best practice recommandation that says otherwise etc.
Thank you.

If I write a random string to file in C++ consisting of some unicode characters, I am told by my text editor that I have not created a valid UTF-8 file.
// Code example

Given an input String, what is the most efficient way to make just the first character lower case?
I can think of a number of ways to do this. For example, using charAt and subString:
String string= "SomeInputString";
string = Character.toLowerCase(
string.charAt(0)) + (string.length() > 1 ? string.substring(1) : "");
Or using a ch...
I am writing a utility class which converts strings from one alphabet to another, this is useful in situations where you have a target alphabet you wish to use, with a restriction on the number of characters available. For example, if you can use lower case letters and numbers, but only 12 characters its possible to compress a timestamp...
I am curious if you have a string how would you detect the delimiter?
We know php can split a string up with explode() which requires a delimiter parameter.
But what about a method to detect the delimiter before sending it to explode function?
Right now I am just outputting the string to the user and they enter the delimiter. That's ...
