I'm trying to find out if two strings I have are the same, for the purpose of unit testing. The first is a predefined string, hard-coded into the program. The second is a read in from a text file with an ifstream using std::getline(), and then taken as a substring. Both values are stored as C++ strings. When I output both of the strings...
Hi, I have an input string containing multiple lines(demarcated by \n). I need to search for a pattern in the lines and if its found, then replace the complete line with empty string. My code looks like this, Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^.*@@.*$"); String regex = "This is the first line \n" + "And this is second ...
hello, what is the preferred method to pass a string between C++ and C#? i have a c++ class where one of the functions takes a char const * const as parameter. how would i call this function in C#? just using a c#-string doesnt seem to work as the function in C# requires a sbyte* C++ class: public ref class MyClass { public: void S...
I did a little search on this but couldn't find anything useful. The point being that if String value is either "true" or "false" the return value should be true. In every other value it should be false. I tried these: String value = "false"; System.out.println("test1: " + Boolean.parseBoolean(value)); System.out.println("test2: " + B...

String formatting expressions: 'This is %d %s example!' % (1, 'nice') String formatting method calls: 'This is {0} {1} example!'.format(1, 'nice') I personally prefer the method calls (second example) for readability but since it is new, there is some chance that one or the other of these may become deprecated over time. Which do y...
<br>Aggie<br><br>John<br><p>Hello world</p><br>Mary<br><br><b>Peter</b><br> I'd like to create a regexp that safely matches these: <br>Aggie<br> <br>John<br> <br>Mary<br> <br><b>Peter</b><br> This is possible that there are other tags (e.g. <i>,<strike>...etc ) between each pair of <br> and they have to be collected just like the <b...
I am a C programmer,now trying to write c++ code.I heard string in C++ was better than char* in terms of security, performance, etc,but sometimes it seems that char * is better choice.Someone suggest that programmer should not use char * in C++ becuase we could do all things that char * could do with string, and its securer and faster. ...
Does C# do any compile-time optimization for constant string concatenation? If so, how must my code by written to take advantage of this? Example: How do these compare at run time? Console.WriteLine("ABC" + "DEF"); const string s1 = "ABC"; Console.WriteLine(s1 + "DEF"); const string s1 = "ABC"; const string s2 = s1 + "DEF"; Console....
I have a tool with a configurable delay (Timespan), and I want to set the text of a label depending on the value. Here is my code as it stands: StringBuilder time = new StringBuilder(); if (Settings.Default.WaitPeriod.Hours > 0) { time.AppendFormat("{0} hour(s)", Settings.Default.WaitPeriod.Hours); } if (Se...

My problem is how to count but not count the same character twice. Like comparing 'aba' to 'are' should give 1 as result since it has only one char in common. This is where I got so far: public int sameChars (Vector<String> otherStrs){ int result = 0; String original = "aba"; for (int h= 0; h< otherStrs.size(); h++) { ...
I'd like an efficient algorithm (or library) that I can use in Java to search for substrings in a string. What I would like to do is: Given an input string - INSTR: "BCDEFGH" And a set of candidate strings - CAND: "AB", "CDE", "FG", "H", "IJ" Find any CAND strings that match as substrings within INSTR In this example I wo...
I know that I can do like ^= to see if an id starts with something, and I tried using that for this, but it didn't work...
