I have a textbox on my website and I need to store whatever the user enters into my database, and retrieve it at a later time. I need to store it exactly as the user entered, including special characters, carriage returns, etc. What process should I use in PHP to store this in my database field (which is a 'text' field)? Should I use PH...
I am currently using javax.imageio.ImageIO to write a PNG file. I would like to include a tEXt chunk (and indeed any of the chunks listed here), but can see no means of doing so. By the looks of com.sun.imageio.plugins.png.PNGMetadata it should be possible. I should be most grateful for any clues or answers. M. ...
I have a large number of text files (1000+) each containing an article from an academic journal. Unfortunately each article's file also contains a "stub" from the end of the previous article (at the beginning) and from the beginning of the next article (at the end). I need to remove these stubs in preparation for running a frequency an...
I am printing a Swing component that contains text. The Swing component renders the text just fine on the screen, but, when I print it (to a .tif file), the characters are all smashed together. Why is this? Run this code to see what I mean: import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.text.MutableAttributeSet; import javax.swing.text.Sim...

Hey, I m drawing text with OpenGL in Python. It all works ok, however the font is really bad.

Is there any font I could use which does not look so bad when thickened, or is ther...

How would I make a textbox, containing preexisting text, that when the user clicked within it all the text inside it would become highlighted. For example, the same way YouTube does the textboxes for the embed code on their videos. Thanks ...
When you increase the line-height of an element, you start getting gaps between each line of text. Most of the time this is fine, since you don't see the specific gap. But it is problematic when you have a narrow column, with a link that runs over multiple lines. If you move your mouse over the link, there is a small gap between the lin...
Recently in a technical interview, I was asked to write a program to find the high frequency words(Words which appear maximum number of times) in a text book. The program should be designed in such a way that, it processes the entire text book with minimum memory. Performance is not a concern. I was able to program to find the frequency ...

Hello, I have a python script that is writing text to images using the PIL. Everything this is working fine except for when I encounter strings with carriage returns in them. I need to preserve the carriage returns in the text. Instead of writing the carriage return to the image, I get a little box character where the return should be. ...
This question contains some excellent coverage of how to design a database history/revision scheme for data like numbers or multiple choice fields. However, there is not much discussion of large text fields, as often found in blog/Q&A/wiki/document type systems. So, what would be considered good practice for storing the history of a te...
For some reason, my queries screw up when I write to a column of type "text". Here is an example: Describe messages; Format is: Field Type Null Key Default id int(11) NO PRI NULL auto_increment title varchar(255) YES NULL body text YES NULL to text YES NULL content_type varchar(255) YES NULL is_sms tinyint(1) YES ...

Naive methods like sed, perl, python etc. wo...
I have a text file and it requires some formatting. I know that if you want to add a blank line above every line that matches your regexp, you can use: sed '/regexp/{x;p;x;}' But I'd like to add a blank line, not one line above, but two lines above the line which matches my regexp. The pattern I'll be matching is a postal code, in th...
