Alan Kay was quoted several years ago to the effect that there had been only three new things in software in the preceding 20 years (effectively the lifespan of PCs). One of them was Spreadsheets. Does anyone remember the other two? (EDIT: Who is Alan Kay (a few may ask.) His work at Xerox Parc arguably did more to shape our current so...
I'm trying to run the following commands: replace -x "must " A2input.txt replace -x " a" -f -s ## A2input.txt replace -x to -s ## -a A2input.txt replace -x faith -f "unequivocal" A2input.txt And it'd be nice if I could just alias it to something short and simple like "a", "b", "c", "d", etc... However, some of those arguments have a ...
Is it a good idea to quote keys when using a hash in Perl? I am working on an extremely large legacy Perl code base and trying to adopt a lot of the best practices suggested by Damian Conway in Perl Best Practices. I know that best practices are always a touchy subject with programmers, but hopefully I can get some good answers on this...
I have this input in a form: <input type="text" value="<script src='/js/script.js' type='text/javascript'></script>" name="embed"/> The quotations in general have to be double, so I put single-quotes within the value property. However, when I do that, the result is: <script src=’/js/script.js’ type=’text/javascript’></script> Not...
So I have 1000 lines of javascript. I need to turn it into a Java String so that I can output (via System.out.println or whatever). I'm looking for an online tool to escape all the quotes... something geared toward my specific need would be nice as I don't want other special characters changed.

alt A below is a statement from a php-mysql tutorial. It works as it should. I found the id-value rather obfuscated and tested alt B. This also worked! What is the point with the id-value of alt A? MySQL 5.0.51, PHP 5.2.6 // alt A : $sql="SELECT * FROM exempel WHERE id = '".$q."'"; // alt B : $sql="SELECT * FROM exempel W...
In a Windows batch file, when you do the following: set myvar="c:\my music & videos" the variable myvar is stored with the quotes included. Honestly I find that very stupid. The quotes are just to tell where the string begins and ends, not to be stored as part of the value itself. How can I prevent this from happening? Thanks. ...
How would I go about replacing all of the double quotes in my batch file's parameters with escaped double quotes? This is my current batch file, which expands all of its command line parameters inside the string: @echo off call bash --verbose -c "g++-linux-4.1 %*" It then uses that string to make a call to Cygwin's bash, executing a L...
When I copy and paste from a Word document into a QT TextEditor, It seems to look fine. But when I try to access the text using toPlainText or toHTML, it returns the text with all of the quotes (double and single) as question marks. Is there a way around this? I am using the qt4-qtruby bindings. ...
Hi Folks - Im not quite sure if this is possible, so I turn to you. I would like to find a regex that will pick out all commas that fall outside quotesets. For example: 'foo' => 'bar', 'foofoo' => 'bar,bar' this would pick out the single comma on line 1, after "'bar'," I don't really care about single vs double quotes. Has anyone...

Hi all, I am wondering if it is possible to write php code to a file. For example: fwrite($handle, "<?php $var = $var2 ?>"); I would like it produce the exact string in the file and not the eval'ed code. Is this possible?

One of the features in Rails 2.3 was json key quoting. I was wondering if there was an easy way to turn the key quoting off or modify the way quoting is done (change to single quotes for example). I'd like to output a json format that Google's Visualization API will accept (http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/dev/im...

For example, this: This is a demo string with 'single-quotes' and "double-quotes". ...would become: This is a demo string with \'single-quotes\' and \"double-qu...
