Does the POSIX standard or another C standard provide a way to recover a meaningful message from a signal number, in the same way that strerror() makes it possible to recover a message from errno? The Gnu C library has strsignal(), but if possible, I would like something portable to BSD and other Unix variants. ...
In the Pragmatic Core Data book, I came across this code snippet for an NSString setter: - (void)setMyString:(NSString*)string; { @synchronized(self) { if ([string isEqualToString:myString]) return; [myString release]; myString = [string retain]; } } Is there any reason to use [string isEqualToString:myString] instead of...
I have huge list (200000) of strings (multi word). I want to group these strings based on comman array of word match among these strings. I cant think of a low computation time algorithm for this "AB 500" "Bus AB 500" "News CA" "News CA BLAH" My plan was a. Tokenize them to words. b. Create a global array tokens c. Compare those...
Hi all, I need to determine whether the ToString() method of an object will return a meaningful string instead of its class name. For example, bool, int, float, Enum, etc. returns meaningful string, instead an instance of ArrayList will return "System.Collections.ArrayList". If there a simple way to archive that? Thanks in advance. Reg...
Hi, Is there any way I can easily check if a string conforms to the SortableDateTimePattern ("s"), or do I need to write a regular expression? I've got a form where users can input a copyright date (as a string), and these are the allowed formats: Year: YYYY (eg 1997) Year and month: YYYY-MM (eg 1997-07) Complete date: YYYY-MM-DD (e...

I am working in C++ with two large pieces of code, one done in "C style" and one in "C++ style". The C-type code has functions that return const char* and the C++ code has in numerous places things like const char* somecstylefunction(); ... std::string imacppstring = somecstylefunction(); where it is constructing the string from a c...
I just noticed that there is no prototype property on strings in JavaScript. This is a pedagogical question while I try to wrap my head around the JavaScript type system but what gives? How come "abc".toString() works? And how would I go about extending strings? If I wanted to be able to do "hey you!".alertDialog() for example? ...

Note: This question was influenced by this answer.

However, the following: char myStrings[][] = {"My 1st string", "My 2nd string", "My 3rd str...

I am trying to write a method that uses recursion to compare the strings str1 and str2 and determine which of them comes first alphabetically (i.e., according to the ordering used for words in a dictionary). If str1 comes first alphabetically, the method should return the integer 1. If str2 comes first alphabetically, the method shoul...
I currently use string literals in my xpath expressions. For example: paragraphList = root.SelectNodes("paragraph"); I know you should generally avoid using literal values, but I figure this is safe, since the names of your xml nodes will rarely change. Is this bad practice, or am I same? ...
I'm trying to write a method that uses recursion to print the string formed by "interleaving" the strings str1 and str2. In other words, it should alternate characters from the two strings: the first character from str1, followed by the first character from str2, followed by the second character from str1, followed by the second charact...
