I have a block of text (of arbitrary length) with a particular word highlighted in yellow whenever it appears. I want to show only a 400 word chunk of the text but I want to show the chunk with the most highlighted words. Does anyone know a good algorithm for this? I have the character position of each highlighted word, so the algorith...
Let's say I have the string of "2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009" that is assigned to the parameter of "show". Now, this does work: <xsl:if test="$show='2004'"> //stuff </xsl:if> This doesn't work: <xsl:if test="$show='2005'"> //stuff </xsl:if> I'm not sure how to test for part of a string like that. Any idea? ...
Given a long string L and a shorter string S (the constraint is that L.length must be >= S.length), I want to find the minimum Hamming distance between S and any substring of L with length equal to S.length. Let's call the function for this minHamming(). For example, minHamming(ABCDEFGHIJ, CDEFGG) == 1. minHamming(ABCDEFGHIJ, BCDGHI...
I'm using Jquery for DOM manipulation, and I'm finding it invaluable. Is there a similar library for strings? I find myself needing to do manipulations and running selectors on parts of strings, and I just wish I can apply jquery syntax to it. Anyone know of anything like that? Ideally I would use a syntax like this: var select = $(...
For a little while now I've been searching for a code to get URL's out of a string using PHP. I'm basically trying to get a Shortened URL out of a message, and then later do a HEAD request to find the actual link. Anyone have any code that returns URLs from strings? Thanks in advanced. Edit for Ghost Dog: Here is a sample of what I...

This is a basic string reverse program and I want to do some level of exception handling in it. But during compilation it gives me an error "NOt all code paths return value. I am not able to find out why public static string Reverse(string s) { try { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) ...
In sp_help documentation doesn't says much about the property TrimTrailingBlanks of a table: TrimTrailingBlanks | varchar(35) | Trim the trailing blanks. Returns Yes or No. so I'm thinking if is good practice to turn it on or if I should let it's default off. What I want to do is to delete blanks from left and right strings, and (by t...
Given the following methods: // Method 1 void add(const std::string& header, bool replace); //Method 2 void add(const std::string& name, const std::string& value); It would appear that the following code will end up calling method 1 instead of method 2: something.add("Hello", "World"); I ended up creating another method that looks...
I need to concatenate '*', which is a string, to a character in an array. For example: int count=5; string asterisk="*"; char p[0]='a'; char p[1]='b'; char p[2]='a'; char p[3]='b'; char p[4]='b'; for(int i=0;i<count;i++) { asterisk=asterisk+"*"; } p[0]=p[0]+asterisk; How can I do this? I want the result to be li...
I was trying to figure out which integers python only instantiates once (-6 to 256 it seems), and in the process stumbled on some string behaviour I can't see the pattern in. Sometimes, equal strings created in different ways share the same id, sometimes not. This code: A = "10000" B = "10000" C = "100" + "00" D = "%i"%10000 E = str(100...
In C, strings are terminated with null ( \0 ) which causes problems when you want to put a null in a strings. Why not have a special escaped character such as \$ or something? I am fully aware at how dumb this question is, but I was curious. ...
I need a fast method to determine if a given string is in a list of strings. The list of strings is not known until runtime but thereafter it will not change. I could simply have a List<String> called strings and then do: if (strings.Contains(item)) However this will perform poorly if there are many strings in the list. I could als...

Hi, I need to check if a particular string contains a a particular word for example to check if, SultansOfSwing contains the word Swing.

I'm trying to add two strings with snprintf but apparently i dont know what i'm doing. Here is the code block: char * filename = NULL; (void)snprintf (filename, sizeof(filename), "%s/%s", PATH, FILE); I also tried: char * filename = NULL; (void)snprintf (filename, sizeof(PATH)+sizeof(FILE)+1, "%s/%s", PATH, FILE); PATH...
from the following strings: "details.php?news=13&action=main&menu_type=&option=single&news_id=4792&pub_no=50" Is this possible in String str.contains(strcase) where strcase="details.php", "news_id" can both be checked at the same time. Not like: str.contains("details.php")&&str.contains("news_id"). both cases should be taken to t...
