How can I set a minimum width (in characters) for a TextView?
Hi, I've had a good search for this on here and can't find a solution. I have a TextView in a RelativeLayout which contains an integer number. The number will range between 1 and 99 - can anyone tell me how to size the TextView so that its width is always the width of the string "99" even if it only contains "1"? I need this because...
Why on earth is a "-" displaying as a question mark?
My WPF application is reading a text file and populating a listbox. Whenever I have text surrounded by a dash symbol i.e. "-", the line in notepad will look like this for e.g. "SAMPLE - TEXT" When it displays it in the application, the dash turns into a question mark !?!?!? I then have an Export button, which writes these back to a text...
How much of the data in a database is string/text data?
I was wondering if there has been any research about how much of the data stored in a databases consists of string data. Also, how much of that string data is free-text data (i.e. completly unstructered) and how much of it consists of identifiers such as proper names. My intuitive feeling is that often the size of a record is mainly defi...

[PHP] - Split html text without breaking "open" tags
I'm using a PHP function to split text into blocks of max N chars. Once each block is "treated" somehow, it is concatenated back again. The problem is that the text can be HTML... and if the split occurs between open html tags, the "treatment" gets spoiled. Can someone give a hint about breaking text only between closed tags? Requiremen...
Vim object-select with syntax-aware text-objects
I just learned about the truly awesome object-select capabilities of vim. With the cursor within some "text object", a set of simple verbs can select or operate on the whole object. For example, with the cursor anywhere inside the quotes below (e.g. over the 'o'): print "Hello, world" ^ The command vi" will select the who...
Bare-minimum text sanitation
In an application that accepts, stores, processes, and displays Unicode text (for the purpose of discussion, let's say that it's a web application), which characters should always be removed from incoming text? I can think of some, mostly listed in the C0 and C1 control codes Wikipedia article: The range 0x00-0x19 (mostly control char...
Draw background color in a UILabel rect only where my text is.
I need to create a custom UILabel to display some dynamic multiline text. The text color is white on a black background. But the background should only be visible right behind the text to simulate the effect of an selected text area. I started with subclassing UILabel and overriding drawTextInRect to do my own drawings. - (void) drawTe...
Is it possible to draw antialiased text on an 8bpp bitmap in Win32?
I've selected an 8bpp bitmap into a CDC, and used ::TextOut () to draw text. The font quality is ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, but the text comes out in monochrome; no gray pixels & jagged edges. The 8bpp bitmap was extracted from a 24bpp bitmap that already had antialiased text drawn on it, and THAT text is ok. (Both text types are in the sam...

How to programmatically add text to a UIView
I have a UIView that I'd like to add several bits of text to. I have used a UITextView but I think that's overkill as it doesn't need to be editable. I thought about using a UILabel or a UITextField, but I don't see how you tell the superview where to position the UILabel or UITextField within itself. I want the lowest footprint objec...

What is a cross platform regex for removal of line breaks?
I am sure this has been asked before, but I cannot find it. Basically, assuming you are parsing a text file of unknown origin and want to replace line breaks with some other delimiter, is this the best regex, or is there another? (\r\n)|(\n)|(\r) ...

How to change the cell title color when selected in UITableView
