I have a large directory tree of files, and am using the following script to list and replace a searched-for name with a specific file. Problem is, I don't know how to write the createList() for-loop correctly to account for whitespace in a directory name. If all directories don't have spaces, it works fine. The output is a list of file...
I am havinging a problem with eclipses formatter that i cannot seem to figure out. If i have a line of code with comments that is over 80 characters, like: Something something = new Something(somethingElse) // some comments here about the code. then the first time i run the formatter, it will set it up correctly, like: Something som...
I'm capturing some output from an external program: my $cmd = "grep -h $text $file2 $file1 | tail -1 | awk '{print \$NF }' "; my $port_number; $port_number =`$cmd`; print "port No : ==$port_number=="; The output has extra whitespace around the port number: port No : == 2323 == and I tried chomp but it's not working. ...
Is there any information on how to correctly handle white spaces in XHTML (1.0 Transitional)? It seems as if XHTML does not use standard XML white space handling. Edit: Mayby I was a bit unprecise about what I was exactly looking for. I'm more interested in how an element gets rendered than how it would be processed by an XML processor....
I'm trying to use sed to replace whitespace within a string. For example, given the line: var test = 'Some test text here.'; I want to get: var test = 'Sometesttexthere.'; I've tried using (\x27 matches the '): sed 's|\x27\([^\x27[:space:]]*\)[[:space:]]|\x27\1|g but that just gives var test = 'Sometest text here.'; Any ideas...
I am trying to create the effect of columns in a dropdown by padding text with whitespace as in this example: <select style="font-family: courier;"> <option value="1">[Aux1+1] [*] [Aux1+1] [@Tn=PP] </option> <option value="2">[Main] [*] [Main Apples Oranges] [@Fu=$p] </option> <option value="3">[Main] [*] [Next NP] ...
I have a record in my sql server database with the following value for a nvarchar column: '穂 坂' The second character is the Unicode value 0x20 which is a simple space character. There is a unique key constraint on that column. I get a unique key violation when I try to insert the following value: '穂 坂' In this string, the second charac...
I would like to have several items stack horizontally infinitely (in one row), without setting the width of their parent container. I'm fully aware that setting the container div to width:1000px; will make them stack, but for various reasons I do not want to use this solution. Are there any alternatives? <html> <head> <style type="text/...
I just started trying out CEDET today, which I really like, but it seems to do something completely worthless with respect to copying/pasting. If I highlight some stuff and copy it, when it gets pasted back the newlines are eliminated and there is just a ton of trailing whitespace on each line. This is really worthless. All I have in ...
Look at the following string: SELECT column1 , column2, column3 FROM table1 WHERE column1 = 'text, "FROM" \'from\\\' x' AND column2 = "sample text 'where' \"where\\\" " AND ( column3 = 5 ) I need to escape unnecessary white space characters from the string like: removing white space from beginning and ending ...
Greetings! Last semester in college, my teacher in the Computer Languages class taught us the esoteric language named Whitespace. In the interest of learning the language better with a very busy schedule (midterms), I wrote an interpreter and assembler in Python. An assembly language was designed to facilitate writing programs easily, an...
I want to write a program in c++ that get a sentence and insert a space between each word and punctuation in it! in sed script this is done with this expression: sed -e "s/,\([^0-9]\)/ , \1/g" -e "s/\.\([^0-9]\)/ . \1/g" -e 's/\.[ ]*$/ ./g' -e "s/\'/ \' /g" -e 's/?/ ?/g' -e 's/\`\`/ `` /g' -e "s/\' \'/''/g" -e 's/(/ ( /g' -e 's/)/ ) /g...
All of the SVN shops I've worked in have a strict rule - replace all tabs with spaces, to avoid whitespace conflicts and variations of tabs in different editors. Is this a very common standard? Does it really make a huge difference, and is it worth the trouble to push this standard to a group of developers new to SVN? ...
Hi, when I do the following def somefunction @texts = A.find_all_by_someid(someid) respond_to do |format| format.xml { render :xml => @texts } end end it gets the string from the db correctly, except if the string has leading whitespaces, it seems they are trimmed. Note: the whitespaces are there in the db...
I have a big chunk of textual data which I split and write multiple rows of a varchar(255) column of a table. Sometimes, the last character happens to be a space. When I read back this row, the trailing space is chopped and I get only 254 characters. This messes up my data when I append the next row to the end of this one. My code send...
This works fine, and correctly inserts non-breaking spaces into the string: <TextBlock Text="Non Breaking Text Here"></TextBlock> But what I really need is to replace spaces with non-breaking spaces during data binding. So I wrote a simple value converter that replaces spaces with " ". It does indeed replace spac...
I'm trying to write a script to make generating Lift projects quicker but I believe i'm running into a white space issue. val strLiftGen = "mvn archetype:generate -U\-DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb\ -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-blank\ -DarchetypeVersion=1.0\ -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases\-DgroupId="...
Please can you explain about whitespace errors in git, what do they mean, what is 'squelching', and do I need to worry about it? (Running msysgit, but with other users on linux). There is already a 'definitive' answer for autocrlf here (set it to false git config --global core.autocrlf false ) ...
Why would the below eliminate the whitespace around matched keyword text when replacing it with an anchor link? Note, this error only occurs in Chrome, and not firefox. For complete context, the file is located at: http://seox.org/lbp/lb-core.js To view the code in action (no errors found yet), the demo page is at http://seox.org/test....
I'm looking for a Windows text editor for programming that handles EOL whitespace CORRECTLY, which for my idea of correct means: Strip all EOL whitespace on save, EXCEPT on lines that I haven't edited. This is to minimise the amount of EOL whitespace evil in my world, but not pollute SCM diff/blame with whitespace-only fixes (I have to d...
