Let's suppose that have a stream of text (or Reader in Java) that I'd like to check for a particular string. The stream of text might be very large so as soon as the search string is found I'd like to return true and also try to avoid storing the entire input in memory. Naively, I might try to do something like this (in Java): public b...
I need to cut off the last seven characters of a string (a string that is stored in a hash). What is the easiest way to do that in perl? Many thanks in advance! ...
Hi, Suppose I had the string "1 AND 2 AND 3 OR 4", and want to create an array of strings that contains all substrings "AND" or "OR", in order, found within the string. So the above string would return a string array of {"AND", "AND", "OR"}. What would be a smart way of writing that? EDIT: Using C# 2.0+, string rule = "1 AND 2 AND 3...
Hello, I'm parsing a source file, and I want to "suppress" strings. What I mean by this is transform every string like "bla bla bla +/*" to something like "string" that is deterministic and does not contain any characters that may confuse my parser, because I don't care about the value of the strings. One of the issues here is string fo...

(I have read Apple's memory management guide, as well as other memory management help here, but am still confused on the following) What should I do for memory management with convenience methods in a loop? Do I need to explicitly create an autorelease pool and then drain it. Or is it all automagic? e.g. for (i=0; i<numFilePaths; i++...
What is the best algorithm to match or compute the distance between two strings in C# when the order or number of times a word appears is not important? Best means: Would mostly agree with a human match Elegant Efficient Scalable, so that an input string could be matched to a potentially large collection of other strings Related que...
How can you display a long string, website address, word or set of symbols with automatic line breaks to keep a div width? I guess a wordwrap of sorts. Usually adding a space works but is there a CSS solution such as word-wrap? For example it (very nastily) overlaps divs, forces horizontal scrolling etc. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

Given a list L of n character strings, and an input character string S, what is an efficient way to find the character string in L that contains the most characters that exist in S? We want to find the string in L that is most-closely made up of the letters contained in S. The obvious answer is to loop through all n strings and check to...
Hi, I have been messing around with recursion today. Often a programming technique that is not used enough. So.. I set myself the task to recursively reverse a string, heres what I came up with : //A method to reverse a string using recursion public String reverseString(String s){ char c = s.charAt(s.length()-1); if...

Now my question is how I can do it that I can drop it on the app, how I can notify my app and how my app gets the string. Any suggestions? Thanks for answering and any idea! :) ...

This problem is similar to blind SQL injections. The goal is to determine the exact value of a string, and the only test you can do is to see if a DOS-style wildcard (? = any character, * = any number of any characters) you specify is matched by the string. (So practically you only have access to a bool DoesWildcardMatch(string wildcard)...
