I'm currently teaching myself Haskell, and I'm wondering what the best practices are when working with strings in Haskell. The default string implementation in Haskell is a list of Char. This is inefficient for file input-output, according to Real World Haskell, since each character is separately allocated (I assume that this means tha...
I have a string in C++ of type EDIT: (const char *) passed as argument to strlen, but it returns void.. damn i can't get formatting to work >.< it goes like strlen(astruct.string); Thanks..

Ok the output is supposed to look like this: ./a 3 4 8 2 3 4 8 2 This is what I have so far, but I am lost and can only get the first integer to print (we have to use GetInt, which gets the specified integer in the string): int main (int argc, char*argv []){ int v; int i; i = 1; v = GetInt(argc, argv...
Hey all, I have built a number of solutions in the past in which people enter data via a webform, validation checks are applied, regex in some cases and everything gets stored in a database. This data is then used to drive output on other pages. I have a special case here where a user wants to copy/paste HUGE amounts of text (multiple...

What is an easy way in Python to format integers into strings representing thousands with K, and millions with M, and leaving just couple digits after comma? I'd like to show 7436313 as 7.44M, and 2345 as 2,34K. Is there some % string formatting operator available for that? Or that could be done only by actually dividing by 1000 in a l...
Hey all, I have a string ($string for this example) and I want to do the following: Parse the string and convert all links within it to "actual links" (adding the open/close anchor tag) -- what is the best way to do this? I tried using preg_split() to create an array of the links contained in the string, with the idea of using str_repl...
What is the best way to join a list of strings into a combined delimited string. I'm mainly concerned about when to stop adding the delimiter. I'll use C# for my examples but I would like this to be language agnostic. EDIT: I have not used StringBuilder to make the code slightly simpler. Use a For Loop for(int i=0; i < list.Length; ...
I have the following statement DateTime now = DateTime.Now; string test = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}{3}", now.Day, now.Month, now.Year, now.Hour); This gives me: test = "242200915" But I'd like to have something like: test = "2402200915" So the question is, how can I enforce the string formatter to output each int with the width ...

We have a legacy database that uses strings as primary keys. I want to implement objects on top of that legacy database to better implement some business logic and provide more functionality to the user. I have read in places that using strings for primary keys on tables is bad. I'm wondering why this is? Is it because of the case-se...
