  • jquery textarea custom tags replacement

    - by Tim
    Hi all, I'm basically trying to create my own tags - and replace them with the right HTML tags. So {B} {/B} would turn into <b> </b> I have only got so far with this, here: http://www.nacremedia.com/text2.htm Use the [B] button to bold stuff the current selection... it creates two bold tags and one closing for some reason. I'm so close! But I just need a bit of direction to get the final bugs out - can anyone please help?? Also, if there is a better way of doing this altogether then I am more than welcome to new ideas.

  • RODBC string getting truncated

    - by sayan dasgupta
    Hi all, I am fetching data from MySql Server into R using RODBC. So in one column of the database is a character vector SELECT MAX(CHAR_LENGTH(column)) FROM reqtable; RETURNS 26566 Now I will show you an example how I am running into the problem `library(RODBC) con <- odbcConnect("mysqlcon") rslts <- as.numeric(sqlQuery(con, "SELECT CHAR_LENGTH(column) FROM reqtable LIMIT 10", as.is=TRUE)[,1]) ` returns > rslts [1] 62 31 17 103 30 741 28 73 25 357 where as rslts <- nchar(as.character(sqlQuery(con, "SELECT column FROM reqtable LIMIT 10", as.is=TRUE)[,1])) returns > rslts [1] 62 31 17 103 30 255 28 73 25 255 So strings with length 255 is getting truncated at 255. Is there a way I can get the full string. Thanks

    I have 3 class projects in my solutions. 1. MVC4 project 2. Domain 3.

  • iPhone simulator app crashes when appending a string

    - by Franklyn Weber
    Hi, I'm a complete novice, so I'm probably missing something really easy, but I can't get my string appending to work. I add the 3rd character to typedDigit & it crashes - the method is called fine and typedDigit will get to 2 characters long. I think everything is declared properly in the header file. Code is - -(IBAction)digitPressed:(UIButton *)sender { NSString *digit = [[sender titleLabel] text]; // in this case, "0" - "9" if (userIsInMiddleOfTyping) { // typedDigit is already at least 1 character long typedDigit = [typedDigit stringByAppendingString:digit]; } else { // first character of typedDigit typedDigit = digit; userIsInMiddleOfTyping = YES; } } Many thanks for any help!

  • SQL, problem with OrderBy / GroupBy

    - by Tristan
    Hi, In my table I have two fields among others : article_id and *version* *example: article_id : 5 // version 1 aricle_id: 5 // version 2 article_id: 6 // version 1* What i want to do is to retrieve the latest version for each article id (in my example i want to retrieve the article 5 version 2 object and article 6 and version 1 object). The problem is that mysql is doing the groupBy instead of the OrderBy so it returns to me the FIRST version of each article, but i want the opposit. Do you have an idea please ?

  • Get variable name as string in Perl

    - by Jose Cuervo
    Hi, I am trying to get a text representation of a variable's name. For instance, this would be the function I am looking for: $abc = '123'; $var_name = &get_var_name($abc); #returns '$abc' I want this because I am trying to write a debug function that recursively outputs the contents of a passed variable, I want it to output the variable's name before hand so if I call this debug function 100 times in succession there will be no confusion as to which variable I am looking at in the output. I have heard of Data::Dumper and am not a fan. If someone can tell me how to if it's possible get a string of a variable's name, that would be great. Thanks!

  • Excel plugin: Finding a Chart's Source Data Number Format String

    - by Jack
    I'm currently working on a plugin for excel (using VB.net--not VBA) that will attempt (among other things) to recognize the format of the source data of a chart and configure the chart's series' number format strings appropriately. That is, yearly data should always be two numbers, monthly data should always be a 3-letter month followed by a 2-digit year, etc. The goal is to have a uniform representation across all charts for monthly data, annual data, daily data, etc. My question is this: how do I find the number format string for the cells (or any cell that is part of that series, as I will be assuming all cells that make up a particular series have the same format) that represent the source data for the chart? Note: I can assume that the chart will always point to a range of cells (not, for example, an array of data).

  • #include <string> adding ~43 KB to my exe

    - by Lienau
    I'm using Code::Blocks to write my program and when I include <string> (or <iostream>) the size of my exe grows. My program is very simple and I need to keep it small <20kb. I'm pretty sure this is happening because of the C++ Standards Committee swapped the old .h versions for many new libraries without the .h. But how would I keep it from adding the ~43kb? Are there settings for Code::Blocks so that it wont add the extra kb or is there another native lib I can use?

  • Weird characters at the beginning of a LPTSTR? C++

    - by extintor
    I am using this code to get the windows version: define BUFSIZE 256 bool config::GetOS(LPTSTR OSv) { OSVERSIONINFOEX osve; BOOL bOsVersionInfoEx; ZeroMemory(&osve, sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX)); osve.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX); if( !(bOsVersionInfoEx = GetVersionEx ((OSVERSIONINFO *) &osve)) ) return false; TCHAR buf[BUFSIZE]; StringCchPrintf(buf, BUFSIZE, TEXT("%u.%u.%u.%u"), osve.dwPlatformId, osve.dwMajorVersion, osve.dwMinorVersion, osve.dwBuildNumber); StringCchCat(OSv, BUFSIZE, buf); return true; } And I am testing it with: LPTSTR OSv= new TCHAR[BUFSIZE]; config c; c.GetOS(OSv); MessageBox(OSv, 0, 0); And in the msgbox I get something like this äì5.1.20 (where 5.1.20 is = to OSv) but the first 2 or 3 chars are some weird characters that I don't know when they came from. Even stranger, if I call that second piece again it shows it ok, it only show the weird characters the first time I execute it. Does someone has an idea what's going on here?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • C++: Can a macro expand "abc" into 'a', 'b', 'c'?

    - by Peter Alexander
    I've written a variadic template that accepts a variable number of char parameters, i.e. template <char... Chars> struct Foo; I was just wondering if there were any macro tricks that would allow me to instantiate this with syntax similar to the following: Foo<"abc"> or Foo<SOME_MACRO("abc")> or Foo<SOME_MACRO(abc)> etc. Basically, anything that stops you from having to write the characters individually, like so Foo<'a', 'b', 'c'> This isn't a big issue for me as it's just for a toy program, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

  • Stored procs breaking overnight

    - by Chad
    We are running MS SQL 2005 and we have been experiencing a very peculiar problem the past few days. I have two procs, one that creates an hourly report of data. And another that calls it, puts its results in a temp table, and does some aggregations, and returns a summary. They work fine...until the next morning. The next morning, suddenly the calling report, complains about an invalid column name. The fix, is simply a recompile of the calling proc, and all works well again. How can this happen? It's happened three nights in a row since moving these procs into production.

  • Translate SQL to NHibernate Query

    - by Thad
    I have a SQL query that I would like to translate to nhibernate criteria, but I have not found a way to generate the MatchCount field. I tried adding it using a sqlprojection but I could not find a place to set the parameters. SELECT (CASE WHEN LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS MatchCount , * FROM [client].[Individual] WHERE ( [FirstName] LIKE @Text0 + '%' OR [FirstName] LIKE @Text1 + '%' OR [FirstName] LIKE @Text2 + '%' OR [LastName] LIKE @Text0 + '%' OR [LastName] LIKE @Text1 + '%' OR [LastName] LIKE @Text2 + '%' OR [PreferredName] LIKE @Text0 + '%' OR [PreferredName] LIKE @Text1 + '%' OR [PreferredName] LIKE @Text2 + '%' ) ORDER BY (CASE WHEN LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([FirstName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([LastName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text0)) = @Text0 OR LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text1)) = @Text1 OR LEFT([PreferredName], LEN(@Text2)) = @Text2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) DESC And yes, this is a ugly statement. Hate having a sql statement in the middle of everthing. Note: There is paging involved and I would prefer not returning all the data to the app server before cutting it down.

The span_col attribute in the first 'BANNER_TEXT' sequence indicates which elements by position in the 2nd sequence are related. An example: 'Years in Practice' would be the first key and the attribute SPAN_COL=3 for that element indicates it would contain '< 11 years', '11-20 years', '21-30 years' (the first grouping of string.empty = Total would be skipped).

  • Android use of an string array on another method

    - by spagi
    Hi all. Im trying to make an activity that has a multiple choice dialog after you push a button. In there you select from a list of things. But these things are received from a web method before the dialog appears. So I create a string array after I receive them inside the onCreate to initialise it there with the correct size. But my dialog method then cant get the array because propably its out of its scope. My code looks like this @Override protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) //Here is where the array is loaded to the multiple select dialog etc @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) //Here is where i initialise the array and get its contents etc I cant initialise my array when the class starts because I dont know its size yet. This has to do something with the scopes of my variables and I am pretty confused

  • Generate encoding String according to creation order.

    - by Tony
    I need to generate encoding String for each item I inserted into the database. for example: x00001 for the first item x00002 for the sencond item x00003 for the third item The way I chose to do this is counting the rows. Before I insert the third item, I count against the database, I know there're already 2 rows, so the next encoding is ended with 3. But there is a problem. If I delete the second item, the forth item will not be the x00004,but x00003. I can add additional columns to table, to store the next encoding, I don't know if there's other better solutions ?

  • How can I select all records between two dates without using date fields?

    - by Hayden Bech
    Hi, I have a MySQL DB and I need to be able to store dates earlier then 1970 - in my case, as early as 0 AD and earlier too, so I need a custom way to store dates. I have thought to use this format: Year - int(6) | Month -int(2) | day - int (2) | time - time | AD tinyint (1) | mya - int (11) But when it comes to actually using data in this format it becomes difficult. For example, if I want to get all records between two dates it would be like (pseudocode not SQL): get all where year between minYear and maxYear if year == minYear, month = minMonth if year == maxYear, month <= maxMonth if month == minMonth, day = minDay if month == maxMonth, day <= maxDay if day == minDay, time = minTime if day == maxDay, time <= maxTime or something, which seems like a right pain. I could store seconds before/after 0 AD, but that would take up way too much data! 2010 (EDIT: 2011) = 6.4 billion seconds since 0 AD. Does anybody have any ideas for this problem?
