Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double? I'm currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then seeing if it throws an exception. But this seems to be slowing down my application. Try ' if number then format it. current = CDbl(x) current = Math.Round(curren...

I have an app that converts binary file into ASCII file. With profiler I found that I spend 25% of time doing Encoding.GetBytes() which is called from BinaryWriter.Write(wchar[]). It is completely correct since I have many constructs similar to this one: m_writer.Write("some fancy long text".ToCharArray()); Do you have any smart idea...
I have various length strings which are full of Base64 chars. Actualy they are audio recognition datas differs by song-to-song. For easily comparing parts of those strings i divide them into 16-char sub-strings. (which is about 1 second of a song) But in some cases, i just can't compare these ones head to head.. i should be measuring t...
Hi, I've got a problem with strings that I get from one of my clients over xmlrpc. He sends me utf8 strings that are encoded twice :( so when I get them in python I have an unicode object that has to be decoded one more time, but obviously python doesn't allow that.

I encountered an interesting situation today in a program where I inadvertantly assigned an unsigned integer to a std::string. The VisualStudio C++ compiler did not give any warnings or errors about it, but I happened to notice the bug when I ran the project and it gave me junk characters for my string. This is kind of what the code lo...
I have a result set that I want to trim a 2 digit suffix from. The strings will always be of varying lengths, but the suffixes will always be two digits separated by '-'. Example: APPTR-W302-01 NRSB-8920-09 Right now I am using the following. This is a hack because the '20' parameter is arbitrary. REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(COURSENAME...
Assuming I do not want to use external libraries or more than a dozen or so extra lines of code (i.e. clear code, not code golf code), can I do better than string.Contains to handle a collection of input strings and a collection of keywords to check for? Obviously one can use objString.Contains(objString2) to do a simple substring check...
Can anyone verify this for me? JavaScript does not have a version of strcmp(), so you have to write out something like: ( str1 < str2 ) ? -1 : ( str1 > str2 ? 1 : 0 ); As this question is really just me complaining, I wouldn't normally waste your time with it, but I wasted 30 minutes looking for such a func...
I'm trying a problem from sphere's online judge where I need to find a palindrome for a integer of up to a million digits, I thought about using java's functions for reversing strings, but would they allow for a string to be this long? ...
So, I have learnt that strings have a center method. >>> 'a'.center(3) ' a ' Then I have noticed that I can do the same thing using the 'str' object which is a type, since >>> type(str) <type 'type'> Using this 'type' object I could access the string methods like they were static functions. >>> str.center('a',5) ' a ' Alas! Th...

While running my program I get this Error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' what(): basic_string::_S_create Abort trap I know that you can't do much without the code but I think that error is to deep in the code to copy all of it. Maybe I can figure it out if I understand what this error means. I...
