How to install a Notepad++ plugin offline?

Notepad++ address has changed, so many of the links above are broken. The up to date link for this question is here: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/

Just in case the address changes again, here is what we have there today:

How to install a plugin

Install plugin manually

If the plugin you want to install is not listed in the Plugins Admin, you may still install it manually. The plugin (in the DLL form) should be placed in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad++ Install Folder, under the subfolder with the same name of plugin binary name without file extension. For example, if the plugin you want to install named myAwesomePlugin.dll, you should install it with the following path: %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll

Once you installed the plugin, you can use (and you may configure) it via the menu “Plugins”.

Sublime text 3. How to edit multiple lines?

Use CTRL+D at each line and it will find the matching words and select them then you can use multiple cursors.

You can also use find to find all the occurrences and then it would be multiple cursors too.

Python write line by line to a text file

Well, the problem you have is wrong line ending/encoding for notepad. Notepad uses Windows' line endings - \r\n and you use \n.

Find duplicates and delete all in notepad++

If it is possible to change the sequence of the lines you could do:

  1. sort line with Edit -> Line Operations -> Sort Lines Lexicographically ascending
  2. do a Find / Replace:
    • Find What: ^(.*\r?\n)\1+
    • Replace with: (Nothing, leave empty)
    • Check Regular Expression in the lower left
    • Click Replace All

How it works: The sorting puts the duplicates behind each other. The find matches a line ^(.*\r?\n) and captures the line in \1 then it continues and tries to find \1 one or more times (+) behind the first match. Such a block of duplicates (if it exists) is replaced with nothing.

The \r?\n should deal nicely with Windows and Unix lineendings.

How do I save JSON to local text file

React Modifying Textarea Values

I think you want something along the line of:

Parent:

<Editor name={this.state.fileData} />

Editor:

var Editor = React.createClass({
  displayName: 'Editor',
  propTypes: {
    name: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
  },
  getInitialState: function() { 
    return {
      value: this.props.name
    };
  },
  handleChange: function(event) {
    this.setState({value: event.target.value});
  },
  render: function() {
    return (
      <form id="noter-save-form" method="POST">
        <textarea id="noter-text-area" name="textarea" value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleChange} />
        <input type="submit" value="Save" />
      </form>
    );
  }
});

This is basically a direct copy of the example provided on https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html

Update for React 16.8:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const Editor = (props) => {
    const [value, setValue] = useState(props.name);

    const handleChange = (event) => {
        setValue(event.target.value);
    };

    return (
        <form id="noter-save-form" method="POST">
            <textarea id="noter-text-area" name="textarea" value={value} onChange={handleChange} />
            <input type="submit" value="Save" />
        </form>
    );
}

Editor.propTypes = {
    name: PropTypes.string.isRequired
};

How can I detect Internet Explorer (IE) and Microsoft Edge using JavaScript?

I don't know why, but I'm not seeing "Edge" in the userAgent like everyone else is talking about, so I had to take another route that may help some people.

Instead of looking at the navigator.userAgent, I looked at navigator.appName to distinguish if it was IE<=10 or IE11 and Edge. IE11 and Edge use the appName of "Netscape", while every other iteration uses "Microsoft Internet Explorer".

After we determine that the browser is either IE11 or Edge, I then looked to navigator.appVersion. I noticed that in IE11 the string was rather long with a lot of information inside of it. I arbitrarily picked out the word "Trident", which is definitely not in the navigator.appVersion for Edge. Testing for this word allowed me to distinguish the two.

Below is a function that will return a numerical value of which Internet Explorer the user is on. If on Microsoft Edge it returns the number 12.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

function Check_Version(){
    var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure.

    if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'){

       var ua = navigator.userAgent,
           re  = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\\.0-9]{0,})");

       if (re.exec(ua) !== null){
         rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
       }
    }
    else if(navigator.appName == "Netscape"){                       
       /// in IE 11 the navigator.appVersion says 'trident'
       /// in Edge the navigator.appVersion does not say trident
       if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Trident') === -1) rv = 12;
       else rv = 11;
    }       

    return rv;          
}

How can I switch word wrap on and off in Visual Studio Code?

Here you go with word-wrap on Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio Code - is there a Compare feature like that plugin for Notepad ++?

I have Visual Studio Code version 1.27.2 and can do this:

Compare two files

  1. Drag and drop the two files into Visual Studio Code enter image description here
  2. Select both files and select Select for Compare from the context menu enter image description here
  3. Then you see the diff enter image description here
  4. With Alt+F5 you can jump to the next diff enter image description here

Compare two in-memory documents or tabs

Sometimes, you don't have two files but want to copy text from somewhere and do a quick diff without having to save the contents to files first. Then you can do this:

  1. Open two tabs by hitting Ctrl+N twice: enter image description here
  2. Paste your first text sample from the clipboard to the first tab and the second text sample from the clipboard to the second tab
  3. Select the first document Untitled-1 with Select for Compare: enter image description here
  4. Select the second document Untitled-2 with Compare with Selected: enter image description here
  5. Then you see the diff: enter image description here

How to compare two files in Notepad++ v6.6.8

2018 10 25. Update.

Notepad++ 7.5.8 does not have plugin manager by default. You have to download plugins manually.

Keep in mind, if you use 64 bit version of Notepad++, you should also use 64 bit version of plugin. I had a similar issue here.

Notepad++ cached files location

I noticed it myself, and found the files inside the backup folder. You can check where it is using Menu:Settings -> Preferences -> Backup. Note : My NPP installation is portable, and on Windows, so YMMV.

Save a file in json format using Notepad++

If you want to save to a specific filename just ignore the provided extensions in Notepad/Word/whatever. Just set the filename.ext in " " and you're done. "Save as type" will be ignored.

Visual Studio 2015 installer hangs during install?

I had the same problem on a different context. After trying to repair, uninstall, and reinstall with no solution, I decided to wipe out all Visual Studio remnant by using TotalUninstaller by follower the steps by steps on the link below:

https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases

Once everything is removed, I was able to successfully install the software.

Be aware that TotalUninstaller will remove everything related to Visual Studio 2013 to 2015. Earlier version will still be preserved.

I added this solution in case someone has the exact same problem.

How to indent HTML tags in Notepad++

The answers on this question are not only wrong, but dangerous. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B will not indent HTML but XML. Consider the following HTML code:

<span class="myClass"></span>

The function 'Notepad++ -> Plugins -> XmlTools -> Pretty print (Xml only with line breaks)' (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B) will transform this to:

<span class="myClass"/>

which will not be displayed correctly anymore by your browser! I strongly advice against using this function to indent HTML.

Instead use the plugin Tidy2. This will indent the HTML correctly without bad side-effects (but it will also create <html>, <head>, <body>, ... elements around your code, if these are not there).

how to open .mat file without using MATLAB?

You don't need to download any new software. You can use Octave Online to open .m files.

Leave out quotes when copying from cell

I just had this problem and wrapping each cell with the CLEAN function fixed it for me. That should be relatively easy to do by doing =CLEAN(, selecting your cell, and then autofilling the rest of the column. After I did this, pastes into Notepad or any other program no longer had duplicate quotes.

How to change background color in the Notepad++ text editor?

Is there a typescript List<> and/or Map<> class/library?

It's very easy to write that yourself, and that way you have more control over things.. As the other answers say, TypeScript is not aimed at adding runtime types or functionality.

Map:

class Map<T> {
    private items: { [key: string]: T };

    constructor() {
        this.items = {};
    }

    add(key: string, value: T): void {
        this.items[key] = value;
    }

    has(key: string): boolean {
        return key in this.items;
    }

    get(key: string): T {
        return this.items[key];
    }
}

List:

class List<T> {
    private items: Array<T>;

    constructor() {
        this.items = [];
    }

    size(): number {
        return this.items.length;
    }

    add(value: T): void {
        this.items.push(value);
    }

    get(index: number): T {
        return this.items[index];
    }
}

I haven't tested (or even tried to compile) this code, but it should give you a starting point.. you can of course then change what ever you want and add the functionality that YOU need...

As for your "special needs" from the List, I see no reason why to implement a linked list, since the javascript array lets you add and remove items.
Here's a modified version of the List to handle the get prev/next from the element itself:

class ListItem<T> {
    private list: List<T>;
    private index: number;

    public value: T;

    constructor(list: List<T>, value: T, index: number) {
        this.list = list;
        this.index = index;
        this.value = value;
    }

    prev(): ListItem<T> {
        return this.list.get(this.index - 1);
    }

    next(): ListItem<T> {
        return this.list.get(this.index + 1);   
    }
}

class List<T> {
    private items: Array<ListItem<T>>;

    constructor() {
        this.items = [];
    }

    size(): number {
        return this.items.length;
    }

    add(value: T): void {
        this.items.push(new ListItem<T>(this, value, this.size()));
    }

    get(index: number): ListItem<T> {
        return this.items[index];
    }
}

Here too you're looking at untested code..

Hope this helps.


Edit - as this answer still gets some attention

Javascript has a native Map object so there's no need to create your own:

let map = new Map();
map.set("key1", "value1");
console.log(map.get("key1")); // value1

open program minimized via command prompt

For the people which are looking for the opposite (aka fullscreen), it's very simple. Because you just have to replace the settings /min by /max.

Now the program will be open at the "maximized" size ! In the case, perhaps you will need an example : start /max explorer.exe.

How can I open a .tex file?

A .tex file should be a LaTeX source file.

If this is the case, that file contains the source code for a LaTeX document. You can open it with any text editor (notepad, notepad++ should work) and you can view the source code. But if you want to view the final formatted document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution and compile the .tex file.

Of course, any program can write any file with any extension, so if this is not a LaTeX document, then we can't know what software you need to install to open it. Maybe if you upload the file somewhere and link it in your question we can see the file and provide more help to you.


Yes, this is the source code of a LaTeX document. If you were able to paste it here, then you are already viewing it. If you want to view the compiled document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution. You can try to install MiKTeX then you can use that to compile the document to a .pdf file.

You can also check out this question and answer for how to do it: How to compile a LaTeX document?

Also, there's an online LaTeX editor and you can paste your code in there to preview the document: https://www.overleaf.com/.

Using putty to scp from windows to Linux

You need to tell scp where to send the file. In your command that is not working:

scp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~

You have not mentioned a remote server. scp uses : to delimit the host and path, so it thinks you have asked it to download a file at the path \Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c from the host C to your local home directory.

The correct upload command, based on your comments, should be something like:

C:\> pscp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:

If you are running the command from your home directory, you can use a relative path:

C:\Users\Admin> pscp Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:

You can also mention the directory where you want to this folder to be downloaded to at the remote server. i.e by just adding a path to the folder as below:

C:/> pscp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:/home/path_to_the_folder/

How do I stop Notepad++ from showing autocomplete for all words in the file

Notepad++ provides 2 types of features:

  • Auto-completion that read the open file and provide suggestion of words and/or functions within the file
  • Suggestion with the arguments of functions (specific to the language)

Based on what you write, it seems what you want is auto-completion on function only + suggestion on arguments.

To do that, you just need to change a setting.

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences... > Auto-completion
  2. Check Enable Auto-completion on each input
  3. Select Function completion and not Word completion
  4. Check Function parameter hint on input (if you have this option)

On version 6.5.5 of Notepad++, I have this setting settings

Some documentation about auto-completion is available in Notepad++ Wiki.

Checking if a folder exists using a .bat file

For a file:

if exist yourfilename (
  echo Yes 
) else (
  echo No
)

Replace yourfilename with the name of your file.

For a directory:

if exist yourfoldername\ (
  echo Yes 
) else (
  echo No
)

Replace yourfoldername with the name of your folder.

A trailing backslash (\) seems to be enough to distinguish between directories and ordinary files.

How do I remove all non-ASCII characters with regex and Notepad++?

In addition to the answer by ProGM, in case you see characters in boxes like NUL or ACK and want to get rid of them, those are ASCII control characters (0 to 31), you can find them with the following expression and remove them:

[\x00-\x1F]+

In order to remove all non-ASCII AND ASCII control characters, you should remove all characters matching this regex:

[^\x1F-\x7F]+

javac: file not found: first.java Usage: javac <options> <source files>

So I had the same problem because I wasn't in the right directory where my file was located. So when I ran javac Example.java (for me) it said it couldn't find it. But I needed to go to where my Example.java file was located. So I used the command cd and right after that the location of the file. That worked for me. Tell me if it helps! Thanks!

Aliases in Windows command prompt

How to replace all strings to numbers contained in each string in Notepad++?

I have Notepad++ v6.8.8

Find: [([a-zA-Z])]

Replace: [\'\1\']

Will produce: $array[XYZ] => $array['XYZ']

Correct way of looping through C++ arrays

If you have a very short list of elements you would like to handle, you could use the std::initializer_list introduced in C++11 together with auto:

#include <iostream>

int main(int, char*[])
{
    for(const auto& ext : { ".slice", ".socket", ".service", ".target" })
        std::cout << "Handling *" << ext << " systemd files" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

What is IllegalStateException?

Usually, IllegalStateException is used to indicate that "a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time." However, this doesn't look like a particularly typical use of it.

The code you've linked to shows that it can be thrown within that code at line 259 - but only after dumping a SQLException to standard output.

We can't tell what's wrong just from that exception - and better code would have used the original SQLException as a "cause" exception (or just let the original exception propagate up the stack) - but you should be able to see more details on standard output. Look at that information, and you should be able to see what caused the exception, and fix it.

UTF-8 in Windows 7 CMD

This question has been already answered in Unicode characters in Windows command line - how?

You missed one step -> you need to use Lucida console fonts in addition to executing chcp 65001 from cmd console.

How to use [DllImport("")] in C#?

You can't declare an extern local method inside of a method, or any other method with an attribute. Move your DLL import into the class:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


public class WindowHandling
{
    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

    public void ActivateTargetApplication(string processName, List<string> barcodesList)
    {
        Process p = Process.Start("notepad++.exe");
        p.WaitForInputIdle();
        IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
        SetForegroundWindow(h);
        SendKeys.SendWait("k");
        IntPtr processFoundWindow = p.MainWindowHandle;
    }
}

How to remove text before | character in notepad++

DateTime fields from SQL Server display incorrectly in Excel

I had the same problem as Andre. There does not seem to be a direct solution, but a CAST in the query that generates the data fixes the problem as long as you can live within the restrictions of SMALLDATETIME. In the following query, the first column does not format correctly in Excel, the second does.

SELECT GETDATE(), CAST(GETDATE() AS SMALLDATETIME)

Perhaps the fractional part of the seconds in DATETIME and DATETIME2 confuses Excel.

How do I read a text file of about 2 GB?

I always use 010 Editor to open huge files. It can handle 2 GB easily. I was manipulating files with 50 GB with 010 Editor :-)

It's commercial now, but it has a trial version.

How to solve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError?

After you compile your code, you end up with .class files for each class in your program. These binary files are the bytecode that Java interprets to execute your program. The NoClassDefFoundError indicates that the classloader (in this case java.net.URLClassLoader), which is responsible for dynamically loading classes, cannot find the .class file for the class that you're trying to use.

Your code wouldn't compile if the required classes weren't present (unless classes are loaded with reflection), so usually this exception means that your classpath doesn't include the required classes. Remember that the classloader (specifically java.net.URLClassLoader) will look for classes in package a.b.c in folder a/b/c/ in each entry in your classpath. NoClassDefFoundError can also indicate that you're missing a transitive dependency of a .jar file that you've compiled against and you're trying to use.

For example, if you had a class com.example.Foo, after compiling you would have a class file Foo.class. Say for example your working directory is .../project/. That class file must be placed in .../project/com/example, and you would set your classpath to .../project/.

Side note: I would recommend taking advantage of the amazing tooling that exists for Java and JVM languages. Modern IDE's like Eclipse and IDEA and build management tools like Maven or Gradle will help you not have to worry about classpaths (as much) and focus on the code! That said, this link explains how to set the classpath when you execute on the command line.

php exec() is not executing the command

I already said that I was new to exec() function. After doing some more digging, I came upon 2>&1 which needs to be added at the end of command in exec().

Thanks @mattosmat for pointing it out in the comments too. I did not try this at once because you said it is a Linux command, I am on Windows.

So, what I have discovered, the command is actually executing in the back-end. That is why I could not see it actually running, which I was expecting to happen.

For all of you, who had similar problem, my advise is to use that command. It will point out all the errors and also tell you info/details about execution.

exec('some_command 2>&1', $output);
print_r($output);  // to see the response to your command

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it ;)

Multiple select in Visual Studio?

For Visual Studio Code

Got to this question because I was looking for a way to select multiple words with mouse click on VS Code, which should be achieved by using alt+click, but this keybinding wasn't working (I think it is something related to my OS, Ubuntu).

For anyone looking for something similar, try changing the key to ctrl+click.

c++ Read from .csv file

a csv-file is just like any other file a stream of characters. the getline reads from the file up to a delimiter however in your case the delimiter for the last item is not ' ' as you assume

getline(file, genero, ' ') ; 

it is newline \n

so change that line to

getline(file, genero); // \n is default delimiter

EOL conversion in notepad ++

I open files "directly" from WinSCP which opens the files in Notepad++ I had a php files on my linux server which always opened in Mac format no matter what I did :-(

If I downloaded the file and then opened it from local (windows) it was open as Dos/Windows....hmmm

The solution was to EOL-convert the local file to "UNIX/OSX Format", save it and then upload it.

Now when I open the file directly from the server it's open as "Dos/Windows" :-)

Why dividing two integers doesn't get a float?

"a" is an integer, when divided with integer it gives you an integer. Then it is assigned to "b" as an integer and becomes a float.

You should do it like this

b = a / 350.0;

Java - How Can I Write My ArrayList to a file, and Read (load) that file to the original ArrayList?

You should use Java's built in serialization mechanism. To use it, you need to do the following:

  1. Declare the Club class as implementing Serializable:

    public class Club implements Serializable {
        ...
    }
    

    This tells the JVM that the class can be serialized to a stream. You don't have to implement any method, since this is a marker interface.

  2. To write your list to a file do the following:

    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("t.tmp");
    ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    oos.writeObject(clubs);
    oos.close();
    
  3. To read the list from a file, do the following:

    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("t.tmp");
    ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
    List<Club> clubs = (List<Club>) ois.readObject();
    ois.close();
    

ASP.Net MVC - Read File from HttpPostedFileBase without save

A slight change to Thangamani Palanisamy answer, which allows the Binary reader to be disposed and corrects the input length issue in his comments.

{
  byte[] binData = b.ReadBytes(file.ContentLength);
  result = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binData);
}

Replace new lines with a comma delimiter with Notepad++?

Here's what worked for me with a similar list of strings in Notepad++ without any macros or anything else:

  1. Click Edit -> Blank Operations -> EOL to space [All the items should now be in a single line separated by a 'space']

  2. Select any 'space' and do a Replace All (by ',')

Using Notepad++ to validate XML against an XSD

  1. In Notepad++ go to Plugins > Plugin manager > Show Plugin Manager then find Xml Tools plugin. Tick the box and click Install

    enter image description here

  2. Open XML document you want to validate and click Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M (Or use Menu if this is your preference Plugins > XML Tools > Validate Now).
    Following dialog will open: enter image description here

  3. Click on .... Point to XSD file and I am pretty sure you'll be able to handle things from here.

Hope this saves you some time.

EDIT: Plugin manager was not included in some versions of Notepad++ because many users didn't like commercials that it used to show. If you want to keep an older version, however still want plugin manager, you can get it on github, and install it by extracting the archive and copying contents to plugins and updates folder.
In version 7.7.1 plugin manager is back under a different guise... Plugin Admin so now you can simply update notepad++ and have it back.

C# using Sendkey function to send a key to another application

If notepad is already started, you should write:

// import the function in your class
[DllImport ("User32.dll")]
static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

//...

Process p = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad").FirstOrDefault();
if (p != null)
{
    IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
    SetForegroundWindow(h);
    SendKeys.SendWait("k");
}

GetProcessesByName returns an array of processes, so you should get the first one (or find the one you want).

If you want to start notepad and send the key, you should write:

Process p = Process.Start("notepad.exe");
p.WaitForInputIdle();
IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
SetForegroundWindow(h);
SendKeys.SendWait("k");

The only situation in which the code may not work is when notepad is started as Administrator and your application is not.

What are the advantages of Sublime Text over Notepad++ and vice-versa?

One thing that should be considered is licensing.

Notepad++ is free (as in speech and as in beer) for perpetual use, released under the GPL license, whereas Sublime Text 2 requires a license.

To quote the Sublime Text 2 website:

..a license must be purchased for continued use. There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation.

The same is now true of Sublime Text 3, and a paid upgrade will be needed for future versions.

Upgrade Policy A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade.

This licensing requirement is still correct as of Dec 2019.

Manually highlight selected text in Notepad++

To highlight a block of code in Notepad++, please do the following steps

  1. Select the required text.
  2. Right click to display the context menu
  3. Choose Style token and select any of the five choices available ( styles from Using 1st style to using 5th style). Each is of different colors.If you want yellow color choose using 3rd style.

If you want to create your own style you can use Style Configurator under Settings menu.

How to include SCSS file in HTML

You can't have a link to SCSS File in your HTML page.You have to compile it down to CSS First. No there are lots of video tutorials you might want to check out. Lynda provides great video tutorials on SASS. there are also free screencasts you can google...

For official documentation visit this site http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html And why have you chosen notepad to write Sass?? you can easily download some free text editors for better code handling.

Saving to CSV in Excel loses regional date format

A not so scalable fix that I used for this is to copy the data to a plain text editor, convert the cells to text and then copy the data back to the spreadsheet.

A hex viewer / editor plugin for Notepad++?

Is a completely different (but still free) application an option? I use HxD, and it serves me better than the Notepad++ plugin. It can calculate hashes, open memory of a process, it is fast at opening files of any size, and it works exceptionally well with the clipboard.

I used to use the Notepad++ plugin, but not anymore.

byte array to pdf

Usually this happens if something is wrong with the byte array.

File.WriteAllBytes("filename.PDF", Byte[]);

This creates a new file, writes the specified byte array to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten.

Asynchronous implementation of this is also available.

public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAllBytesAsync 
(string path, byte[] bytes, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = null);

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in a CodeIgniter View

Unexpected end of file means that something else was expected before the PHP parser reached the end of the script.

Judging from your HUGE file, it's probably that you're missing a closing brace (}) from an if statement.

Please at least attempt the following things:

  1. Separate your code from your view logic.
  2. Be consistent, you're using an end ; in some of your embedded PHP statements, and not in others, ie. <?php echo base_url(); ?> vs <?php echo $this->layouts->print_includes() ?>. It's not required, so don't use it (or do, just do one or the other).
  3. Repeated because it's important, separate your concerns. There's no need for all of this code.
  4. Use an IDE, it will help you with errors such as this going forward.

How to generate keyboard events?

Every platform is going to have a different approach to being able to generate keyboard events. This is because they each need to make use of system libraries (and system extensions). For a cross platform solution, you would need to take each of these solutions and wrap then into a platform check to perform the proper approach.

For windows, you might be able to use the pywin32 extension. win32api.keybd_event

win32api.keybd_event

keybd_event(bVk, bScan, dwFlags, dwExtraInfo)

Simulate a keyboard event

Parameters

bVk : BYTE - Virtual-key code
bScan : BYTE - Hardware scan code
dwFlags=0 : DWORD - Flags specifying various function options
dwExtraInfo=0 : DWORD - Additional data associated with keystroke

You will need to investigate pywin32 for how to properly use it, as I have never used it.

CALL command vs. START with /WAIT option

For exe files, I suppose the differences are nearly unimportant.
But to start an exe you don't even need CALL.

When starting another batch it's a big difference,
as CALL will start it in the same window and the called batch has access to the same variable context.
So it can also change variables which affects the caller.

START will create a new cmd.exe for the called batch and without /b it will open a new window.
As it's a new context, variables can't be shared.

Differences

Using start /wait <prog>
- Changes of environment variables are lost when the <prog> ends
- The caller waits until the <prog> is finished

Using call <prog>
- For exe it can be ommited, because it's equal to just starting <prog>
- For an exe-prog the caller batch waits or starts the exe asynchronous, but the behaviour depends on the exe itself.
- For batch files, the caller batch continues, when the called <batch-file> finishes, WITHOUT call the control will not return to the caller batch

Addendum:

Using CALL can change the parameters (for batch and exe files), but only when they contain carets or percent signs.

call myProg param1 param^^2 "param^3" %%path%%

Will be expanded to (from within an batch file)

myProg param1 param2 param^^3 <content of path>

Run .php file in Windows Command Prompt (cmd)

It seems your question is very much older. But I just saw it. I searched(not in google) and found My Answer.

So I am writing its solution so that others may get help from it.

Here is my solution.

Unlike the other answers, you don't need to setup environments.

all you need is just to write php index.php if index.php is your file name.

then you will see that, the file compiled and showing it's desired output.

TextFX menu is missing in Notepad++

For Notepad++ 64-bit:

There is an unreleased 64-bit version of this plugin. You can download the DLL from here, drop it under Notepad++/plugins/NppTextFX directory and restart Notepad++. You will need to create the NppTextFX directory first though.

As per this GitHub issue, there might be some bugs lurking around. If you run into any, feel free to raise a GitHub ticket for each, as the author (HQJaTu) is recommending. As per the author, the code behind this binary is found on this branch.

Tested on Notepad++ v7.5.8 (64-bit, Build time: Jul 23 2018)

Maven Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:

Though there are a few non-Eclipse answers above for this question that does not mention Eclipse, they require path variable changes. An alternative is to use the command line option, java.home, e.g.:

mvn package -Djava.home="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\jre"

Notice the \jre at the end - a surprising necessity.

if (boolean == false) vs. if (!boolean)

No. I don't see any advantage. Second one is more straitforward.

btw: Second style is found in every corners of JDK source.

How to call a VbScript from a Batch File without opening an additional command prompt

rem This is the command line version
cscript "C:\Users\guest\Desktop\123\MyScript.vbs"

OR

rem This is the windowed version
wscript "C:\Users\guest\Desktop\123\MyScript.vbs"

You can also add the option //e:vbscript to make sure the scripting engine will recognize your script as a vbscript.

Windows/DOS batch files doesn't require escaping \ like *nix.

You can still use "C:\Users\guest\Desktop\123\MyScript.vbs", but this requires the user has *.vbs associated to wscript.

Run C++ in command prompt - Windows

I really don't see what your problem is, the question is rather unspecific. Given Notepad++ I assume you use Windows.

You have so many options here, from the MinGW (using the GCC tool chain and GNU make) to using a modern MSVC. You can use the WDK (ddkbuild.bat/.cmd or plain build.exe), the Windows SDK (nmake.exe), other tools such as premake and CMake, or msbuild that comes with MSVC and the Windows SDK.

I mean the compiler names will differ, cl.exe for MSVC and the WDK and Windows SDK, gcc.exe for MinGW, but even from the console it is customary to organize your project in some way. This is what make and friends were invented for after all.

So to know the command line switches of your particular compiler consult the manual of that very compiler. To find ways to automate your build (i.e. the ability to run a simple command instead of a complex command line), you could sift through the list on Wikipedia or pick one of the tools I mentioned above and go with that.

Side-note: it isn't necessary to ask people not to mention IDEs. Most professional developers have automated their builds to run from a command line and not from within the IDE (as during the development cycle for example), because there are so many advantages to that approach.

Notepad++ add to every line

If you have thousands of lines, I guess the easiest way is like this:

-select the line that is the start point for your cursor

-while you are holding alt + shift select the line that is endpoint for your cursor

That's it. Now you have a giant cursor. You can write anything to all of these lines.

restrict edittext to single line

Everyone's showing the XML way, except one person showed calling EditText's setMaxLines method. However, when I did that, it didn't work. One thing that did work for me was setting the input type.

EditText editText = new EditText(this);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

This allows A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and special characters, but does not allow enter to be pressed. When you press enter, it'll go to the next GUI component, if applicable in your application.

You may also want to set the maximum number of characters that can be put into that EditText, or else it'll push whatever's to the right of it off the screen, or just start trailing off the screen itself. You can do this like this:

InputFilter[] filters = new InputFilter[1];
filters[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(8);
editText.setFilters(filters);

This sets the max characters to 8 in that EditText. Hope all this helps you.

How to write subquery inside the OUTER JOIN Statement

I think you don't have to use sub query in this scenario.You can directly left outer join the DEPRMNT table .

While using Left Outer Join ,don't use columns in the RHS table of the join in the where condition, you ll get wrong output

PHP - Indirect modification of overloaded property

Though I am very late in this discussion, I thought this may be useful for some one in future.

I had faced similar situation. The easiest workaround for those who doesn't mind unsetting and resetting the variable is to do so. I am pretty sure the reason why this is not working is clear from the other answers and from the php.net manual. The simplest workaround worked for me is

Assumption:

  1. $object is the object with overloaded __get and __set from the base class, which I am not in the freedom to modify.
  2. shippingData is the array I want to modify a field of for e.g. :- phone_number

 

// First store the array in a local variable.
$tempShippingData = $object->shippingData;

unset($object->shippingData);

$tempShippingData['phone_number'] = '888-666-0000' // what ever the value you want to set

$object->shippingData = $tempShippingData; // this will again call the __set and set the array variable

unset($tempShippingData);

Note: this solution is one of the quick workaround possible to solve the problem and get the variable copied. If the array is too humungous, it may be good to force rewrite the __get method to return a reference rather expensive copying of big arrays.

How to fix java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Unsupported major.minor version

Today, this error message appeared in our Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin):

/var/log/tomcat7/localhost.2014-04-08.log:
Apr 8, 2014 9:00:55 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext filterStart
SEVERE: Exception starting filter struts2
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: controller/ReqAccept : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 (unable to load class controller.ReqAccept)

The Struts application is compiled with Java 7.

It turned out, someone uses "service tomcat [stop/start]" to restart Tomcat 7,

$ ps -ef | grep java
tomcat7 31783 1 32 20:13 ? 00:00:03 /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java...
$ /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_27"

Which causes the "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" error.

When we used "/etc/init.d/tomcat7 [stop/start]" to restart Tomcat 7, the problem was solved.

$ ps -ef | grep java
tomcat7 31886 1 80 20:24 ? 00:00:10 /usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_15/bin/java
$ /usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_15/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_15"

Obtaining ExitCode using Start-Process and WaitForExit instead of -Wait

Here's a variation on this theme. I want to uninstall Cisco Amp, wait, and get the exit code. But the uninstall program starts a second program called "un_a" and exits. With this code, I can wait for un_a to finish and get the exit code of it, which is 3010 for "needs reboot". This is actually inside a .bat file.

If you've ever wanted to uninstall folding@home, it works in a similar way.

rem uninstall cisco amp, probably needs a reboot after

rem runs Un_A.exe and exits

rem start /wait isn't useful
"c:\program files\Cisco\AMP\6.2.19\uninstall.exe" /S

powershell while (! ($proc = get-process Un_A -ea 0)) { sleep 1 }; $handle = $proc.handle; 'waiting'; wait-process Un_A; exit $proc.exitcode

How does PHP 'foreach' actually work?

NOTE FOR PHP 7

To update on this answer as it has gained some popularity: This answer no longer applies as of PHP 7. As explained in the "Backward incompatible changes", in PHP 7 foreach works on copy of the array, so any changes on the array itself are not reflected on foreach loop. More details at the link.

Explanation (quote from php.net):

The first form loops over the array given by array_expression. On each iteration, the value of the current element is assigned to $value and the internal array pointer is advanced by one (so on the next iteration, you'll be looking at the next element).

So, in your first example you only have one element in the array, and when the pointer is moved the next element does not exist, so after you add new element foreach ends because it already "decided" that it it as the last element.

In your second example, you start with two elements, and foreach loop is not at the last element so it evaluates the array on the next iteration and thus realises that there is new element in the array.

I believe that this is all consequence of On each iteration part of the explanation in the documentation, which probably means that foreach does all logic before it calls the code in {}.

Test case

If you run this:

<?
    $array = Array(
        'foo' => 1,
        'bar' => 2
    );
    foreach($array as $k=>&$v) {
        $array['baz']=3;
        echo $v." ";
    }
    print_r($array);
?>

You will get this output:

1 2 3 Array
(
    [foo] => 1
    [bar] => 2
    [baz] => 3
)

Which means that it accepted the modification and went through it because it was modified "in time". But if you do this:

<?
    $array = Array(
        'foo' => 1,
        'bar' => 2
    );
    foreach($array as $k=>&$v) {
        if ($k=='bar') {
            $array['baz']=3;
        }
        echo $v." ";
    }
    print_r($array);
?>

You will get:

1 2 Array
(
    [foo] => 1
    [bar] => 2
    [baz] => 3
)

Which means that array was modified, but since we modified it when the foreach already was at the last element of the array, it "decided" not to loop anymore, and even though we added new element, we added it "too late" and it was not looped through.

Detailed explanation can be read at How does PHP 'foreach' actually work? which explains the internals behind this behaviour.

Notepad++: Multiple words search in a file (may be in different lines)?

You need a new version of notepad++. Looks like old versions don't support |.

Note: egrep "CAT|TOWN" will search for lines containing CATOWN. (CAT)|(TOWN) is the proper or extension (matching 1,3,4). Strangely you wrote and which is btw (CAT.*TOWN)|(TOWN.*CAT)

Why is my locally-created script not allowed to run under the RemoteSigned execution policy?

I was having the same issue and fixed it by changing the default program to open .ps1 files to PowerShell. It was set to Notepad.

UTF-8 problems while reading CSV file with fgetcsv

In my case the source file has windows-1250 encoding and iconv prints tons of notices about illegal characters in input string...

So this solution helped me a lot:

/**
 * getting CSV array with UTF-8 encoding
 *
 * @param   resource    &$handle
 * @param   integer     $length
 * @param   string      $separator
 *
 * @return  array|false
 */
private function fgetcsvUTF8(&$handle, $length, $separator = ';')
{
    if (($buffer = fgets($handle, $length)) !== false)
    {
        $buffer = $this->autoUTF($buffer);
        return str_getcsv($buffer, $separator);
    }
    return false;
}

/**
 * automatic convertion windows-1250 and iso-8859-2 info utf-8 string
 *
 * @param   string  $s
 *
 * @return  string
 */
private function autoUTF($s)
{
    // detect UTF-8
    if (preg_match('#[\x80-\x{1FF}\x{2000}-\x{3FFF}]#u', $s))
        return $s;

    // detect WINDOWS-1250
    if (preg_match('#[\x7F-\x9F\xBC]#', $s))
        return iconv('WINDOWS-1250', 'UTF-8', $s);

    // assume ISO-8859-2
    return iconv('ISO-8859-2', 'UTF-8', $s);
}

Response to @manvel's answer - use str_getcsv instead of explode - because of cases like this:

some;nice;value;"and;here;comes;combinated;value";and;some;others

explode will explode string into parts:

some
nice
value
"and
here
comes
combinated
value"
and
some
others

but str_getcsv will explode string into parts:

some
nice
value
and;here;comes;combinated;value
and
some
others

Notepad++ incrementally replace

i had the same problem with more than 250 lines and here is how i did it:

for example :

<row id="1" />
<row id="1" />
<row id="1" />
<row id="1" />
<row id="1" />

you put the cursor just after the "1" and you click on alt + shift and start descending with down arrow until your reach the bottom line now you see a group of selections click on erase to erase the number 1 on each line simultaneously and go to Edit -> Column Editor and select Number to Insert then put 1 in initial number field and 1 in incremented by field and check zero numbers and click ok

Congratulations you did it :)

How do I convert an ANSI encoded file to UTF-8 with Notepad++?

If you don't have non-ASCII characters (codepoints 128 and above) in your file, UTF-8 without BOM is the same as ASCII, byte for byte - so Notepad++ will guess wrong.

What you need to do is to specify the character encoding when serving the AJAX response - e.g. with PHP, you'd do this:

header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8');

The important part is to specify the charset with every JS response - else IE will fall back to user's system default encoding, which is wrong most of the time.

Windows batch script launch program and exit console

start "" ExeToExecute

method does not work for me in the case of Xilinx xsdk, because as pointed out by @jeb in the comments below it is actaully a bat file.

so what does not work de-facto is

start "" BatToExecute

I am trying to open xsdk like that and it opens a separate cmd that needs to be closed and xsdk can run on its own

Before launching xsdk I run (source) the Env / Paths (with settings64.bat) so that xsdk.bat command gets recognized (simply as xsdk, withoitu the .bat)

what works with .bat

Notepad++ change text color?

A little late reply, but what I found in Notepad++ v7.8.6 is, on RMB (Right Mouse Button), on selection text, it gives an option called "Style token" where it shows "Using 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th style" to highlight the selected text in different pre-defined colors

Eclipse "Invalid Project Description" when creating new project from existing source

Suppose you have something like:


/prj/workspace/prj1
/prj/workspace/prj2


And your eclipse workspace is in /prj/workspace level (i.e. /prj/workspace/.metadata). If you're having problem importing prj1 and prj2, you can either move your .metadata somewhere else (/prj/.metadata, /prj/eclipse/.metadata, etc.) or create a sub level in workspace so that it looks like:
/prj/workspace/android/prj1
/prj/workspace/android/prj2


And import prj1 and prj2 again. In another word: as long as prj1, prj2, and .metadata are not in the same level it will be fine.

Where are the recorded macros stored in Notepad++?

You can find the shortcuts.xml in AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\ path only when using the default settings. If you have backup configured, you can find and set the path in Preferences -> Backup -> Backup path.

When these settings are applied, files in AppData directory won't be used.

Delete all lines starting with # or ; in Notepad++

Its possible, but not directly.

In short, go to the search, use your regex, check "mark line" and click "Find all". It results in bookmarks for all those lines.

In the search menu there is a point "delete bookmarked lines" voila.

I found the answer here (the correct answer is the second one, not the accepted!): How to delete specific lines on Notepad++?

C# - Insert a variable number of spaces into a string? (Formatting an output file)

I agree with Justin, and the WhiteSpace CHAR can be referenced using ASCII codes here Character number 32 represents a white space, Therefore:

string.Empty.PadRight(totalLength, (char)32);

An alternative approach: Create all spaces manually within a custom method and call it:

private static string GetSpaces(int totalLength)
    {
        string result = string.Empty;
        for (int i = 0; i < totalLength; i++)
        {
            result += " ";
        }
        return result;
    }

And call it in your code to create white spaces: GetSpaces(14);

Send raw ZPL to Zebra printer via USB

ZPL is the correct way to go. In most cases it is correct to use a driver that abstracts to GDI commands; however Zebra label printers are a special case. The best way to print to a Zebra printer is to generate ZPL directly. Note that the actual printer driver for a Zebra printer is a "plain text" printer - there is not a "driver" that could be updated or changed in the sense we think of most printers having drivers. It's just a driver in the absolute minimalist sense.

No generated R.java file in my project

Go to Project and hit Clean. This should, among others, regenerate your R.java file.

Also get rid of any import android.R.* statements and then do the clean up I mentioned.

Apparently Jonas problem was related to incorrect target build settings. His target build was set to Android 2.1 (SDK v7) where his layout XML used Android 2.2 (SDK v8) elements (layout parameter match_parent), due to this there was no way for Eclipse to correctly generate the R.java file which caused all the problems.

Notepad++ Multi editing

Yes: simply press and hold the Alt key, click and drag to select the lines whose columns you wish to edit, and begin typing.

You can also go to Settings > Preferences..., and in the Editing tab, turn on multi-editing, to enable selection of multiple separate regions or columns of text to edit at once.

It's much more intuitive, as you can see your edits live as you type.

  2. In normal model go over the word.

  3. Press * Press F8 to search recursively bellow your whole project over the word

Powershell script to locate specific file/file name?

To search the whole computer:

gdr -PSProvider 'FileSystem' | %{ ls -r $.root} 2>$null | where { $.name -eq "httpd.exe" }

I am pretty sure this is a much less efficient command, for MANY reasons, but the simplest is your piping everything to your where-object command, when you could still use -filter "httpd.exe" and save a ton of cycles.

Also, on a lot of computers the get-psdrive is gonna grab shared drives, and I am pretty sure you wanted that to get a complete search. Most shares can be IMMENSE with regard to the sheer number of files and folders, so at the very least I would sort my drives by size, and add a check after each search to exit the loop if we locate the file. That is if you are looking for a single instance, if not the only way to save yourself the IMMENSE time sink of searching a 10TB share or two, is to comment the command and highly suggest any user who were to need to use it should limit their search as much as they can. For instance our User Profile share is 10TB, at least the one I am on is, and I can limit my search to the directory $sharedrive\users\myname and search my 116GB directory rather than the 10TB one. Too many unknowns with shares for this type of script, which is already super inefficient with regard to resources and speed.

If I was seriously considering using something like this, I would add a call to a 3rd party package and leverage a DB.

Need to combine lots of files in a directory

Assuming these are text files (since you are using notepad++) and that you are on Windows, you could fashion a simple batch script to concatenate them together.

For example, in the directory with all the text files, execute the following:

for %f in (*.txt) do type "%f" >> combined.txt

This will merge all files matching *.txt into one file called combined.txt.

Web Application Problems (web.config errors) HTTP 500.19 with IIS7.5 and ASP.NET v2

I had exact same error message with IIS10 and Windows 10. I tried everything listed here (and other internet pages as well) but it did not fixed it. What solved the issue was to install .NET Core Hosting a second time (I choose "Repair" button).

I'm 100% confident this is what fixed it because I had to deploy the same website to other laptops as well (different brands but all Windows 10). The same error message (500.19) occurred and reinstalling bundle fixed it again.

How to Select Columns in Editors (Atom,Notepad++, Kate, VIM, Sublime, Textpad,etc) and IDEs (NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Visual Studio, etc)

In IntelliJ IDEA, you can switch the selection mode with Alt + Shift + Insert combination. You can also column select by keeping the middle mouse button (i.e. the scroll wheel button) pressed and dragging.

How to Execute a Python File in Notepad ++?

First install Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/

Run the installer

** IMPORTANT ** Be sure you check both :

  • Install launcher for all users
  • Add Python 3.6 to path

Click install now and finish the installation.

Open notepad++ and install plugin PyNPP from Plugin Manager. I'm using N++ 6.9.2

Save a new file as new.py

Type in N++

import sys

print("Hello from Python!")
print("Your Python version is: " + sys.version) 

Press Alt+Shift+F5

Simple as that.

Displaying unicode symbols in HTML

You should ensure the HTTP server headers are correct.

In particular, the header:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

should be present.

The meta tag is ignored by browsers if the HTTP header is present.

Also ensure that your file is actually encoded as UTF-8 before serving it, check/try the following:

  • Ensure your editor save it as UTF-8.
  • Ensure your FTP or any file transfer program does not mess with the file.
  • Try with HTML encoded entities, like &#uuu;.
  • To be really sure, hexdump the file and look as the character, for the ?, it should be E2 9C 94 .

Note: If you use an unicode character for which your system can't find a glyph (no font with that character), your browser should display a question mark or some block like symbol. But if you see multiple roman characters like you do, this denotes an encoding problem.

How do I use Notepad++ (or other) with msysgit?

Update 2010-2011:

zumalifeguard's solution (upvoted) is simpler than the original one, as it doesn't need anymore a shell wrapper script.

As I explain in "How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows?", I prefer a wrapper, as it is easier to try and switch editors, or change the path of one editor, without having to register said change with a git config again.
But that is just me.


Additional information: the following solution works with Cygwin, while the zuamlifeguard's solution does not.


Original answer.

The following:

C:\prog\git>git config --global core.editor C:/prog/git/npp.sh

C:/prog/git/npp.sh:
#!/bin/sh
"c:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -multiInst "$*"

does work. Those commands are interpreted as shell script, hence the idea to wrap any windows set of commands in a sh script.
(As Franky comments: "Remember to save your .sh file with Unix style line endings or receive mysterious error messages!")

More details on the SO question How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows?

Note the '-multiInst' option, for ensuring a new instance of notepad++ for each call from Git.

Note also that, if you are using Git on Cygwin (and want to use Notepad++ from Cygwin), then scphantm explains in "using Notepad++ for Git inside Cygwin" that you must be aware that:

git is passing it a cygwin path and npp doesn't know what to do with it

So the script in that case would be:

#!/bin/sh
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"

Multiple lines for readability:

#!/bin/sh
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -multiInst -notabbar \
  -nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"

With "$(cygpath -w "$*")" being the important part here.

Val commented (and then deleted) that you should not use -notabbar option:

It makes no good to disable the tab during rebase, but makes a lot of harm to general Notepad usability since -notab becomes the default setting and you must Settings>Preferences>General>TabBar> Hide>uncheck every time you start notepad after rebase. This is hell. You recommended the hell.

So use rather:

#!/bin/sh
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -multiInst -nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"

That is:

#!/bin/sh
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -multiInst -nosession \
  -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"

If you want to place the script 'npp.sh' in a path with spaces (as in 'c:\program files\...',), you have three options:

  • Either try to quote the path (single or double quotes), as in:

    git config --global core.editor 'C:/program files/git/npp.sh'
    
  • or try the shortname notation (not fool-proofed):

    git config --global core.editor C:/progra~1/git/npp.sh
    
  • or (my favorite) place 'npp.sh' in a directory part of your %PATH% environment variable. You would not have then to specify any path for the script.

    git config --global core.editor npp.sh
    
  • Steiny reports in the comments having to do:

    git config --global core.editor '"C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/scripts/npp.sh"'

Fixing broken UTF-8 encoding

I've had to try to 'fix' a number of UTF8 broken situations in the past, and unfortunately it's never easy, and often rather impossible.

Unless you can determine exactly how it was broken, and it was always broken in that exact same way, then it's going to be hard to 'undo' the damage.

If you want to try to undo the damage, your best bet would be to start writing some sample code, where you attempt numerous variations on calls to mb_convert_encoding() to see if you can find a combination of 'from' and 'to' that fixes your data. In the end, it's often best to not even bother worrying about fixing the old data because of the pain levels involved, but instead to just fix things going forward.

However, before doing this, you need to make sure that you fix everything that is causing this issue in the first place. You've already mentioned that your DB table collation and editors are set properly. But there are more places where you need to check to make sure that everything is properly UTF-8:

  • Make sure that you are serving your HTML as UTF-8:
    • header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
  • Change your PHP default charset to utf-8:
    • ini_set("default_charset", 'utf-8');
  • If your database doesn't ALWAYS talk in utf-8, then you may need to tell it on a per connection basis to ensure it's in utf-8 mode, in MySQL you do that by issuing:
    • charset utf8
  • You may need to tell your webserver to always try to talk in UTF8, in Apache this command is:
    • AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  • Finally, you need to ALWAYS make sure that you are using PHP functions that are properly UTF-8 complaint. This means always using the mb_* styled 'multibyte aware' string functions. It also means when calling functions such as htmlspecialchars(), that you include the appropriate 'utf-8' charset parameter at the end to make sure that it doesn't encode them incorrectly.

If you miss up on any one step through your whole process, the encoding can be mangled and problems arise. Once you get in the 'groove' of doing utf-8 though, this all becomes second nature. And of course, PHP6 is supposed to be fully unicode complaint from the getgo, which will make lots of this easier (hopefully)

Run bash script from Windows PowerShell

There is now a "native" solution on Windows 10, after enabling Bash on Windows, you can enter Bash shell by typing bash: Bash on Windows

You can run Bash script like bash ./script.sh, but keep in mind that C drive is located at /mnt/c, and external hard drives are not mountable. So you might need to change your script a bit so it is compatible to Windows.

Also, even as root, you can still get permission denied when moving files around in /mnt, but you have your full root power in the / file system.

Also make sure your shell script is formatted with Unix style, or there can be errors. Example script

Data structure for maintaining tabular data in memory?

A very old question I know but...

A pandas DataFrame seems to be the ideal option here.

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.13.1/generated/pandas.DataFrame.html

From the blurb

Two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. Can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. The primary pandas data structure

How do I delete specific lines in Notepad++?

Using regex and find&replace, you can delete all the lines containing #region without leaving empty lines. Because for some reason Ray's method didn't work on my machine I searched for (.*#region.*\n)|(\n.*#region.*) and left the replace box empty.

That regex ensures that the if #region is found on the first line, the ending newline is deleted, and if it is found on the last line the preceding newline is deleted.

Still, Ray's solution is the better one if it works for you.

How to launch an EXE from Web page (asp.net)

As part of the solution that Larry K suggested, registering your own protocol might be a possible solution. The web page could contain a simple link to download and install the application - which would then register its own protocol in the Windows registry.

The web page would then contain links with parameters that would result in the registerd program being opened and any parameters specified in the link being passed to it. There's a good description of how to do this on MSDN

Is there a decent wait function in C++?

The appearance and disappearance of a window for displaying text is a feature of how you are running the program, not of C++.

Run in a persistent command line environment, or include windowing support in your program, or use sleep or wait on input as shown in other answers.

How do I copy the contents of a String to the clipboard in C#?

Use try-catch, even if it has an error it will still copy.

Try
   Clipboard.SetText("copy me to clipboard")
Catch ex As Exception

End Try

If you use a message box to capture the exception, it will show you error, but the value is still copied to clipboard.

How can I enable auto complete support in Notepad++?

Autocomplete in Notepad++ is as simple as hitting Ctrl + Enter or Ctrl + Space in the interface.

Ctrl + Enter - as simple as that!

This, for many people, will be better than autocompleting on everything.

How to read large text file on windows?

The integrated Text-Viewer of Total Commander can open huge files (>10GB) for viewing without any problems. It also provides different views, e.g. a Hex-View.

Add a new line to a text file in MS-DOS

You can easily append to the end of a file, by using the redirection char twice (>>).


This will copy source.txt to destination.txt, overwriting destination in the process:

type source.txt > destination.txt

This will copy source.txt to destination.txt, appending to destination in the process:

type source.txt >> destination.txt

Does Notepad++ show all hidden characters?

Yes, and unfortunately you cannot turn them off, or any other special characters. The options under \View\Show Symbols only turns on or off things like tabs, spaces, EOL, etc. So if you want to read some obscure coding with text in it - you actually need to look elsewhere. I also looked at changing the coding, ASCII is not listed, and that would not make the mess invisible anyway.

How can I run another application within a panel of my C# program?

I notice that all the prior answers use older Win32 User library functions to accomplish this. I think this will work in most cases, but will work less reliably over time.

Now, not having done this, I can't tell you how well it will work, but I do know that a current Windows technology might be a better solution: the Desktop Windows Manager API.

DWM is the same technology that lets you see live thumbnail previews of apps using the taskbar and task switcher UI. I believe it is closely related to Remote Terminal services.

I think that a probable problem that might happen when you force an app to be a child of a parent window that is not the desktop window is that some application developers will make assumptions about the device context (DC), pointer (mouse) position, screen widths, etc., which may cause erratic or problematic behavior when it is "embedded" in the main window.

I suspect that you can largely eliminate these problems by relying on DWM to help you manage the translations necessary to have an application's windows reliably be presented and interacted with inside another application's container window.

The documentation assumes C++ programming, but I found one person who has produced what he claims is an open source C# wrapper library: https://bytes.com/topic/c-sharp/answers/823547-desktop-window-manager-wrapper. The post is old, and the source is not on a big repository like GitHub, bitbucket, or sourceforge, so I don't know how current it is.

Move entire line up and down in Vim

:m.+1 or :m.-2 would do if you're moving a single line. Here's my script to move multiple lines. In visual mode, Alt-up/Alt-down will move the lines containing the visual selection up/down by one line. In insert mode or normal mode, Alt-up/Alt-down will move the current line if no count prefix is given. If there's a count prefix, Alt-up/Alt-down will move that many lines beginning from the current line up/down by one line.

function! MoveLines(offset) range
    let l:col = virtcol('.')
    let l:offset = str2nr(a:offset)
    exe 'silent! :' . a:firstline . ',' . a:lastline . 'm'
        \ . (l:offset > 0 ? a:lastline + l:offset : a:firstline + l:offset)
    exe 'normal ' . l:col . '|'
endf

imap <silent> <M-up> <C-O>:call MoveLines('-2')<CR>

C# Help reading foreign characters using StreamReader

Try a different encoding such as Encoding.UTF8. You can also try letting StreamReader find the encoding itself:

    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(inputFilePath, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, true)

Edit: Just saw your update. Try letting StreamReader do the guessing.

Logging best practices

As the authors of the tool, we of course use SmartInspect for logging and tracing .NET applications. We usually use the named pipe protocol for live logging and (encrypted) binary log files for end-user logs. We use the SmartInspect Console as the viewer and monitoring tool.

There are actually quite a few logging frameworks and tools for .NET out there. There's an overview and comparison of the different tools on DotNetLogging.com.

What does {0} mean when found in a string in C#?

For future reference, in Visual Studio you can try placing the cursor in the method name (for example, WriteLine) and press F1 to pull up help on that context. Digging around should then find you String.Format() in this case, with lots of helpful information.

Note that highlighting a selection (for example, double-clicking or doing a drag-select) and hitting F1 only does a non-context string search (which tends to suck at finding anything helpful), so make sure you just position the cursor anywhere inside the word without highlighting it.

This is also helpful for documentation on classes and other types.

Convert tabs to spaces in Notepad++

There is no 'Edit Components' tab in the preferences setup. You need to go 'Language Menu/Tab Settings', there is an option in there to control tab behavior. You can even set it to work differently depending on the language of the file.

Auto-indent in Notepad++

A little update: You can skip the TextFX Plugin and just use Tidy2. Here you can configure your own formating-rules for different types of codes. Easy to install and remove within

Notepad++ > Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager

and just search for Tidy2 and install it. Done.

How to multi-line "Replace in files..." in Notepad++

This is a subjective opinion, but I think a text editor shouldn't do everything and the kitchen sink. I prefer lightweight flexible and powerful (in their specialized fields) editors. Although being mostly a Windows user, I like the Unix philosophy of having lot of specialized tools that you can pipe together (like the UnxUtils) rather than a monster doing everything, but not necessarily as you would like it!

Find in files is on the border of these extra features, but useful when you can double-click on a found line to open the file at the right line. Note that initially, in SciTE it was just a Tools call to grep or equivalent!
FTP is very close to off topic, although it can be seen as an extended open/save dialog.
Replace in files is too much IMO: it is dangerous (you can mess lot of files at once) if you have no preview, etc. I would rather use a specialized tool I chose, perhaps among those in Multi line search and replace tool.

To answer the question, looking at N++, I see a Run menu where you can launch any tool, with assignment of a name and shortcut key. I see also Plugins > NppExec, which seems able to launch stuff like sed (not tried it).

How to write macro for Notepad++?

Actually, the shortcuts.xml file does not store user-generated macros and no obvious candidates contain this info. These instructions are out of date.

Contrary to various websites' tips, storing user-generated macros isn't enabled for v.5.4.2. That XML file is there, but your macro does not get stored it in.

I'm guessing it's a bug that'll be fixed by the next version.

Can I automatically increment the file build version when using Visual Studio?

Set the version number to "1.0.*" and it will automatically fill in the last two number with the date (in days from some point) and the time (half the seconds from midnight)

Extracting text from HTML file using Python

PyParsing does a great job. The PyParsing wiki was killed so here is another location where there are examples of the use of PyParsing (example link). One reason for investing a little time with pyparsing is that he has also written a very brief very well organized O'Reilly Short Cut manual that is also inexpensive.

Having said that, I use BeautifulSoup a lot and it is not that hard to deal with the entities issues, you can convert them before you run BeautifulSoup.

Goodluck

Using regular expressions to do mass replace in Notepad++ and Vim

In Notepad++ you don't need to use Regular Expressions for this.

Hold down alt to allow you to select a rectangle of text across multiple rows at once. Select the chunk you want to be rid of, and press delete.

Using RegEX To Prefix And Append In Notepad++

Assuming alphanumeric words, you can use:

Search  = ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
Replace = able:"\1"

Or, if you just want to highlight the lines and use "Replace All" & "In Selection" (with the same replace):

Search = ^(.+)$

^ points to the start of the line.
$ points to the end of the line.

\1 will be the source match within the parentheses.

How to improve Netbeans performance?

A more or less detailed description, why NetBeans if slow so often can be found in the article:

Boost your NetBeans performance

First. check what NetBeans is actually doing on your disk. On a Mac you can issue this command:

  sudo fs_usage | grep /path/to/workspace

In my special case I got a directory which didn't exist any longer, but NetBeans tries to access the folder all the time:

  14:08:05 getattrlist /path/to/workspaces/pii 0.000011 java

Repeated many, many, many times. If you have a similar problem, fix it by deleting your NetBeans cache folder here:

   ~/.netbeans/6.8/var/cache

If your NetBeans.app is still making a lot of disk I/O. Check if it's accessing the subverison folders and svncache.

I had to disable the subversion features with config file:

  ~/.netbeans/VERSION/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/versioning.properties 

add a line:

  unversionedFolders=FULL_PATH_TO_PROJECT_FOLDER  

SOURCE: Netbeans forums

IMHO it's mainly related to a lot of disk I/O caused by missing files or folders and svncache.

How do I execute a program from Python? os.system fails due to spaces in path

subprocess.call will avoid problems with having to deal with quoting conventions of various shells. It accepts a list, rather than a string, so arguments are more easily delimited. i.e.

Best C++ IDE or Editor for Windows

There are some features in an IDE that are so transformative that you don't know how you lived without them. Integrated help was one. IntelliSense-like functionality was another. VS 6.0's Debug and Continue was absolutely killer. Visual Studio kicked butt for quite a while. Not bad, given the awful NeXTstep rip-off it all started as. (Or is it that memories of NeXTstep has faded until VS seems okay?)

Sure, there are much better EDITORS that VS, but as a complete package for Win32 development nothing seems to come close.

There are free Express editions now, but they seem pretty crippled.

I am quite enjoying Eclipse under Linux (and derivatives of it on Windows used in some FPGA vendor toolchains). I -really- don't like the lack of integrated MSDN-style help, though.

I think it's basically down to those two choices.

How can I open Java .class files in a human-readable way?

There is no need to decompile Applet.class. The public Java API classes sourcecode comes with the JDK (if you choose to install it), and is better readable than decompiled bytecode. You can find compressed in src.zip (located in your JDK installation folder).

Equivalent of *Nix 'which' command in PowerShell?

Here is an actual *nix equivalent, i.e. it gives *nix-style output.

Get-Command <your command> | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Definition

Just replace with whatever you're looking for.

PS C:\> Get-Command notepad.exe | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Definition
C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe

When you add it to your profile, you will want to use a function rather than an alias because you can't use aliases with pipes:

function which($name)
{
    Get-Command $name | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Definition
}

Now, when you reload your profile you can do this:

PS C:\> which notepad
C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe

How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows?

Those of you using Git on Windows: What tool do you use to edit your commit messages, and what did you have to do to make it work?

The tool that I find the most useful as both my git editor and my general-purpose code editor, in both Windows and Linux, is Sublime Text 3. It works really well, but requires a little bit of setup to get it just right, so I've fully documented that fully here:

Side note about my main editor: for big projects I use Eclipse as my primary editor, and Sublime Text 3 as my git editor and additional file editor when I need to make use of its advanced features such as multi-cursor mode, vertical/column selection mode, etc. For small to medium projects I use just Sublime Text 3 by itself. For setup instructions for Eclipse, see my PDF document here.

How do I programmatically set the value of a select box element using JavaScript?

I compared the different methods:

Comparison of the different ways on how to set a value of a select with JS or jQuery

code:

$(function() {
    var oldT = new Date().getTime();
     var element = document.getElementById('myId');
    element.value = 4;
    console.error(new Date().getTime() - oldT);

    oldT = new Date().getTime();
    $("#myId option").filter(function() {
        return $(this).attr('value') == 4;
    }).attr('selected', true);
    console.error(new Date().getTime() - oldT);

    oldT = new Date().getTime();
    $("#myId").val("4");
    console.error(new Date().getTime() - oldT);
});

Output on a select with ~4000 elements:

  • 1 ms
  • 58 ms
  • 612 ms

With Firefox 10. Note: The only reason I did this test, was because jQuery performed super poorly on our list with ~2000 entries (they had longer texts between the options). We had roughly 2 s delay after a val()

Note as well: I am setting value depending on the real value, not the text value.

ReactJS - How to use comments?

Two Ways to Add Comments in React Native

1) // (Double Forward Slash) is used to comment only single line in react native code but it can only be used outside of the render block. If you want to comment in render block where we use JSX you need to use the 2nd method.

2) If you want to comment something in JSX you need to use JavaScript comments inside of Curly braces like {/comment here/}. It is a regular /* Block Comments */, but need to be wrapped in curly braces.

shortcut keys for /* Block Comments */:

Ctrl + / on Windows + Linux.
Cmd + / on macOS.

Delaying AngularJS route change until model loaded to prevent flicker

$routeProvider resolve property allows delaying of route change until data is loaded.

First define a route with resolve attribute like this.

angular.module('phonecat', ['phonecatFilters', 'phonecatServices', 'phonecatDirectives']).
  config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.
      when('/phones', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/phone-list.html', 
        controller: PhoneListCtrl, 
        resolve: PhoneListCtrl.resolve}).
      when('/phones/:phoneId', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/phone-detail.html', 
        controller: PhoneDetailCtrl, 
        resolve: PhoneDetailCtrl.resolve}).
      otherwise({redirectTo: '/phones'});
}]);

notice that the resolve property is defined on route.

function PhoneListCtrl($scope, phones) {
  $scope.phones = phones;
  $scope.orderProp = 'age';
}

PhoneListCtrl.resolve = {
  phones: function(Phone, $q) {
    // see: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/angular/DGf7yyD4Oc4
    var deferred = $q.defer();
    Phone.query(function(successData) {
            deferred.resolve(successData); 
    }, function(errorData) {
            deferred.reject(); // you could optionally pass error data here
    });
    return deferred.promise;
  },
  delay: function($q, $defer) {
    var delay = $q.defer();
    $defer(delay.resolve, 1000);
    return delay.promise;
  }
}

Notice that the controller definition contains a resolve object which declares things which should be available to the controller constructor. Here the phones is injected into the controller and it is defined in the resolve property.

The resolve.phones function is responsible for returning a promise. All of the promises are collected and the route change is delayed until after all of the promises are resolved.

Git workflow and rebase vs merge questions

With Git there is no “correct” workflow. Use whatever floats your boat. However, if you constantly get conflicts when merging branches maybe you should coordinate your efforts better with your fellow developer(s)? Sounds like the two of you keep editing the same files. Also, watch out for whitespace and subversion keywords (i.e., “$Id$” and others).

Hide html horizontal but not vertical scrollbar

For me:

.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-bdiv {
   position: relative;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   overflow-y: auto;  <------
   overflow-x: hidden; <-----
   text-align: left;
}

Of course remove the arrows

Powershell: Get FQDN Hostname

To get FQDN of local computer:

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName($env:computerName)

or

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName($env:computerName).HostName

To get FQDN of Remote computer:

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName('mytestpc1')

or

For better formatted value use:

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName('mytestpc1').HostName
  • For remote machines make sure host is reachable.

Query to get the names of all tables in SQL Server 2008 Database

Please use the following query to list the tables in your DB.

select name from sys.Tables 

In Addition, you can add a where condition, to skip system generated tables and lists only user created table by adding type ='U'

Ex : select name from sys.Tables where type ='U'

MySQL ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'bill'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

This may apply to very few people, but here goes. Don't use an exclamation ! in your password.

I did and got the above error using MariaDB. When I simplified it to just numbers and letters it worked. Other characters such as @ and $ work fine - I used those characters in a different user on the same instance.

The fifth response at this address led me to my fix.

Onclick event to remove default value in a text input field

HTML5 Placeholder Attribute

You are likely wanting placeholder functionality:

<input name="Name" placeholder="Enter Your Name" />

Polyfill for Older Browsers

This will not work in some older browsers, but polyfills exist (some require jQuery, others don't) to patch that functionality.

"Screw it, I'll do it myself."

If you wanted to roll your own solution, you could use the onfocus and onblur events of your element to determine what its value should be:

<input name="Name" value="Enter Your Name"
       onfocus="(this.value == 'Enter Your Name') && (this.value = '')"
       onblur="(this.value == '') && (this.value = 'Enter Your Name')" />

Avoid Mixing HTML with JavaScript

You'll find that most of us aren't big fans of evaluating JavaScript from attributes like onblur and onfocus. Instead, it's more commonly encouraged to bind this logic up purely with JavaScript. Granted, it's a bit more verbose, but it keeps a nice separation between your logic and your markup:

var nameElement = document.forms.myForm.Name;

function nameFocus( e ) {
  var element = e.target || window.event.srcElement;
  if (element.value == "Enter Your Name") element.value = "";
}

function nameBlur( e ) {
  var element = e.target || window.event.srcElement;
  if (element.value == "") element.value = "Enter Your Name";
}

if ( nameElement.addEventListener ) {
  nameElement.addEventListener("focus", nameFocus, false);
  nameElement.addEventListener("blur", nameBlur, false);
} else if ( nameElement.attachEvent ) {
  nameElement.attachEvent("onfocus", nameFocus);
  nameElement.attachEvent("onblur", nameBlur);
}

iOS change navigation bar title font and color

Anyone needs a Swift 3 version. redColor() has changed to just red.

PHP Pass variable to next page

There are three method to pass value in php.

  • By post
  • By get
  • By making session variable

These three method are used for different purpose.For example if we want to receive our value on next page then we can use 'post' ($_POST) method as:-

$a=$_POST['field-name'];

If we require the value of variable on more than one page than we can use session variable as:-

$a=$_SESSION['field-name];

Before using this Syntax for creating SESSION variable we first have to add this tag at the very beginning of our php page

session_start(); 

GET method are generally used to print data on same page which used to take input from user. Its syntax is as:

$a=$_GET['field-name'];

POST method are generally consume more secure than GET because when we use Get method than it can display the data in URL bar.If the data is more sensitive data like password then it can be inggeris.

Excel Formula to SUMIF date falls in particular month

Try this instead:

  =SUM(IF(MONTH($A$2:$A$6)=1,$B$2:$B$6,0))

It's an array formula, so you will need to enter it with the Control-Shift-Enter key combination.

Here's how the formula works.

  1. MONTH($A$2:$A$6) creates an array of numeric values of the month for the dates in A2:A6, that is,
    {1, 1, 1, 2, 2}.
  2. Then the comparison {1, 1, 1, 2, 2}= 1 produces the array {TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE}, which comprises the condition for the IF statement.
  3. The IF statement then returns an array of values, with {430, 96, 400.. for the values of the sum ranges where the month value equals 1 and ..0,0} where the month value does not equal 1.
  4. That array {430, 96, 400, 0, 0} is then summed to get the answer you are looking for.

This is essentially equivalent to what the SUMIF and SUMIFs functions do. However, neither of those functions support the kind of calculation you tried to include in the conditional.

It's also possible to drop the IF completely. Since TRUE and FALSE can also be treated as 1 and 0, this formula--=SUM((MONTH($A$2:$A$6)=1)*$B$2:$B$6)--also works.

Heads up: This does not work in Google Spreadsheets

How to read a file into vector in C++?

1. In the loop you are assigning value rather than comparing value so

i=((Main.size())-1) -> i=(-1) since Main.size()

Main[i] will yield "Vector Subscript out of Range" coz i = -1.

2. You get Main.size() as 0 maybe becuase its not it can't find the file. Give the file path and check the output. Also it would be good to initialize the variables.

Is it fine to have foreign key as primary key?

I would not do that. I would keep the profileID as primary key of the table Profile

A foreign key is just a referential constraint between two tables

One could argue that a primary key is necessary as the target of any foreign keys which refer to it from other tables. A foreign key is a set of one or more columns in any table (not necessarily a candidate key, let alone the primary key, of that table) which may hold the value(s) found in the primary key column(s) of some other table. So we must have a primary key to match the foreign key. Or must we? The only purpose of the primary key in the primary key/foreign key pair is to provide an unambiguous join - to maintain referential integrity with respect to the "foreign" table which holds the referenced primary key. This insures that the value to which the foreign key refers will always be valid (or null, if allowed).

Are you sure you need a list in this case? If you are populating the list with many items, performance will suffer with myList.Contains or myList.Any; the run-time will be quadratic. You might want to consider using a better data structure. For example,

 public class MyClass
    {
        public string Property1 { get; set; }
        public string Property2 { get; set; }

    }

    public class MyClassComparer : EqualityComparer<MyClass>
    {
        public override bool Equals(MyClass x, MyClass y)
        {
            if(x == null || y == null)
               return x == y;

            return x.Property1 == y.Property1 && x.Property2 == y.Property2;
        }

        public override int GetHashCode(MyClass obj)
        {
            return obj == null ? 0 : (obj.Property1.GetHashCode() ^ obj.Property2.GetHashCode());
        }
    }

You could use a HashSet in the following manner:

  var set = new HashSet<MyClass>(new MyClassComparer());
  foreach(var myClass in ...)
     set.Add(myClass);

Of course, if this definition of equality for MyClass is 'universal', you needn't write an IEqualityComparer implementation; you could just override GetHashCode and Equals in the class itself.

Scroll to bottom of div?

I have encountered the same problem, but with an additional constraint: I had no control over the code that appended new elements to the scroll container. None of the examples I found here allowed me to do just that. Here is the solution I ended up with .

It uses Mutation Observers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObserver) which makes it usable only on modern browsers (though polyfills exist)

So basically the code does just that :

var scrollContainer = document.getElementById("myId");

// Define the Mutation Observer
var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {

  // Compute sum of the heights of added Nodes
  var newNodesHeight = mutations.reduce(function(sum, mutation) {
      return sum + [].slice.call(mutation.addedNodes)
        .map(function (node) { return node.scrollHeight || 0; })
        .reduce(function(sum, height) {return sum + height});
  }, 0);

  // Scroll to bottom if it was already scrolled to bottom
  if (scrollContainer.clientHeight + scrollContainer.scrollTop + newNodesHeight + 10 >= scrollContainer.scrollHeight) {
    scrollContainer.scrollTop = scrollContainer.scrollHeight;
  }

});

// Observe the DOM Element
observer.observe(scrollContainer, {childList: true});

I made a fiddle to demonstrate the concept : https://jsfiddle.net/j17r4bnk/

Finding the index of an item in a list

Getting all the occurrences and the position of one or more (identical) items in a list

With enumerate(alist) you can store the first element (n) that is the index of the list when the element x is equal to what you look for.

>>> alist = ['foo', 'spam', 'egg', 'foo']
>>> foo_indexes = [n for n,x in enumerate(alist) if x=='foo']
>>> foo_indexes
[0, 3]
>>>

Let's make our function findindex

This function takes the item and the list as arguments and return the position of the item in the list, like we saw before.

def indexlist(item2find, list_or_string):
  "Returns all indexes of an item in a list or a string"
  return [n for n,item in enumerate(list_or_string) if item==item2find]

print(indexlist("1", "010101010"))

Output


[1, 3, 5, 7]

Simple

for n, i in enumerate([1, 2, 3, 4, 1]):
    if i == 1:
        print(n)

Output:

0
4

Javascript get object key name

This might be better understood if you modified the wording up a bit:

var buttons = {
  foo: 'bar',
  fiz: 'buz'
};

for ( var property in buttons ) {
  console.log( property ); // Outputs: foo, fiz or fiz, foo
}

Note here that you're iterating over the properties of the object, using property as a reference to each during each subsequent cycle.

MSDN says of for ( variable in [object | array ] ) the following:

Before each iteration of a loop, variable is assigned the next property name of object or the next element index of array. You can then use it in any of the statements inside the loop to reference the property of object or the element of array.

Note also that the property order of an object is not constant, and can change, unlike the index order of an array. That might come in handy.

How to process SIGTERM signal gracefully?

Found easiest way for me. Here an example with fork for clarity that this way is useful for flow control.

import signal
import time
import sys
import os

def handle_exit(sig, frame):
    raise(SystemExit)

def main():
    time.sleep(120)

signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_exit)

p = os.fork()
if p == 0:
    main()
    os._exit()

try:
    os.waitpid(p, 0)
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    print('exit handled')
    os.kill(p, 15)
    os.waitpid(p, 0)

Visual Studio breakpoints not being hit

If none of the above work, double-check your code. Sometimes the reason why the breakpoint appears to not be hitting is due to the block of code containing the breakpoint is not being executed for sometimes inadvertant reasons.

For example, forgetting the "Handles Me.Load" has gotten me a few times when copying and pasting code:

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    --this block of code will not execute
    End Sub 

vs

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    --this block executes
    End Sub

Creating a blurring overlay view

Here's a fast implementation in Swift using CIGaussianBlur:

func blur(image image: UIImage) -> UIImage {
    let radius: CGFloat = 20;
    let context = CIContext(options: nil);
    let inputImage = CIImage(CGImage: image.CGImage!);
    let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIGaussianBlur");
    filter?.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey);
    filter?.setValue("\(radius)", forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey);
    let result = filter?.valueForKey(kCIOutputImageKey) as! CIImage;
    let rect = CGRectMake(radius * 2, radius * 2, image.size.width - radius * 4, image.size.height - radius * 4)
    let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, fromRect: rect);
    let returnImage = UIImage(CGImage: cgImage);

    return returnImage;
}

In Powershell what is the idiomatic way of converting a string to an int?

Building up on Shavy Levy answer:

[bool]($var -as [int])

Because $null is evaluated to false (in bool), this statement Will give you true or false depending if the casting succeeds or not.

How to make Java work with SQL Server?

For anyone still googling this, go to \blackboard\config\tomcat\conf and in wrapper.conf put an extra line in wrapper.java.classpath pointing to the sqljdbc4.jar and then update the wrapper.conf.bb as well

Then restart the blackboard services and tomcat and it should work

It won't work by simply setting your java classpath, you have to set it up in the blackboard config files to point to your jar file with the jdbc library

How can I get the current stack trace in Java?

Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

How to enable TLS 1.2 support in an Android application (running on Android 4.1 JB)

You should use

 SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2"); 

for specific protocol version.

The second exception occured because default socketFactory used fallback SSLv3 protocol for failures.

You can use NoSSLFactory from main answer here for its suppression How to disable SSLv3 in android for HttpsUrlConnection?

Also you should init SSLContext with all your certificates(client and trusted ones if you need them)

But all of that is useless without using

ProviderInstaller.installIfNeeded(getContext())

Visual Studio 64 bit?

No! There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio.

How to know it is not 64-bit: Once you download Visual Studio and click the install button, you will see that the initialization folder it selects automatically is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0

As per my understanding, all 64-bit programs/applications goes to C:\Program Files and all 32-bit applications goes to C:\Program Files (x86) from Windows 7 onwards.

How do I count occurrence of duplicate items in array

I came here from google looking for a way to count the occurence of duplicate items in an array. Here is the way to do it simply:

$colors = array("red", "green", "blue", "red", "yellow", "blue");
$unique_colors = array_unique($colors);
// $unique colors : array("red", "green", "blue", "yellow")
$duplicates = count($colors) - count($unique_colors);
// $duplicates = 6 - 4 = 2
if( $duplicates == 0 ){
 echo "There are no duplicates";
}
echo "No. of Duplicates are :" . $duplicates;

// Output: No. of Duplicates are: 2

How array_unique() works?

It elements all the duplicates. ex: Lets say we have an array as follows -

$cars = array( [0]=>"lambo", [1]=>"ferrari", [2]=>"Lotus", [3]=>"ferrari", [4]=>"Bugatti");

When you do $cars = array_unique($cars); cars will have only following elements. $cars = array( [0]=>"lambo", [1]=>"ferrari", [2]=>"Lotus", [4]=>"Bugatti");

Hope it is helpful to those who are coming here from google looking for a way to count duplicate values in array.

         int a;
         System.out.println("enter:");
         a = in.nextInt();
         System.out.println("Number is= " + a);
     }
}

Does return stop a loop?

The answer is yes, if you write return statement the controls goes back to to the caller method immediately. With an exception of finally block, which gets executed after the return statement.

and finally can also override the value you have returned, if you return inside of finally block. LINK: Try-catch-finally-return clarification

Return Statement definition as per:

Java Docs:

a return statement can be used to branch out of a control flow block and exit the method

MSDN Documentation:

The return statement terminates the execution of a function and returns control to the calling function. Execution resumes in the calling function at the point immediately following the call.

Wikipedia:

A return statement causes execution to leave the current subroutine and resume at the point in the code immediately after where the subroutine was called, known as its return address. The return address is saved, usually on the process's call stack, as part of the operation of making the subroutine call. Return statements in many languages allow a function to specify a return value to be passed back to the code that called the function.

How to use index in select statement?

The index hint is only available for Microsoft Dynamics database servers. For traditional SQL Server, the filters you define in your 'Where' clause should persuade the engine to use any relevant indices... Provided the engine's execution plan can efficiently identify how to read the information (whether a full table scan or an indexed scan) - it must compare the two before executing the statement proper, as part of its built-in performance optimiser.

However, you can force the optimiser to scan by using something like

    Select  *
    From    [yourtable] With (Index(0))
    Where   ...

Or to seek a particular index by using something like

    Select  *
    From    [yourtable] With (Index(1))
    Where   ...

The choice is yours. Look at the table's index properties in the object panel to get an idea of which index you want to use. It ought to match your filter(s).

For best results, list the filters which would return the fewest results first. I don't know if I'm right in saying, but it seems like the query filters are sequential; if you get your sequence right, the optimiser shouldn't have to do it for you by comparing all the combinations, or at least not begin the comparison with the more expensive queries.

Multithreading in Bash

Bash job control involves multiple processes, not multiple threads.

You can execute a command in background with the & suffix.

You can wait for completion of a background command with the wait command.

You can execute multiple commands in parallel by separating them with |. This provides also a synchronization mechanism, since stdout of a command at left of | is connected to stdin of command at right.

Add line break to 'git commit -m' from the command line

I use zsh on a Mac, and I can post multi-line commit messages within double quotes ("). Basically I keep typing and pressing return for new lines, but the message isn't sent to Git until I close the quotes and return.

Pandas sort by group aggregate and column

Groupby A:

In [0]: grp = df.groupby('A')

Within each group, sum over B and broadcast the values using transform. Then sort by B:

In [1]: grp[['B']].transform(sum).sort('B')
Out[1]:
          B
2 -2.829710
5 -2.829710
1  0.253651
4  0.253651
0  0.551377
3  0.551377

Index the original df by passing the index from above. This will re-order the A values by the aggregate sum of the B values:

In [2]: sort1 = df.ix[grp[['B']].transform(sum).sort('B').index]

In [3]: sort1
Out[3]:
     A         B      C
2  baz -0.528172  False
5  baz -2.301539   True
1  bar -0.611756   True
4  bar  0.865408  False
0  foo  1.624345  False
3  foo -1.072969   True

Finally, sort the 'C' values within groups of 'A' using the sort=False option to preserve the A sort order from step 1:

In [4]: f = lambda x: x.sort('C', ascending=False)

In [5]: sort2 = sort1.groupby('A', sort=False).apply(f)

In [6]: sort2
Out[6]:
         A         B      C
A
baz 5  baz -2.301539   True
    2  baz -0.528172  False
bar 1  bar -0.611756   True
    4  bar  0.865408  False
foo 3  foo -1.072969   True
    0  foo  1.624345  False

Clean up the df index by using reset_index with drop=True:

In [7]: sort2.reset_index(0, drop=True)
Out[7]:
     A         B      C
5  baz -2.301539   True
2  baz -0.528172  False
1  bar -0.611756   True
4  bar  0.865408  False
3  foo -1.072969   True
0  foo  1.624345  False

How to test if a double is zero?

Numeric primitives in class scope are initialized to zero when not explicitly initialized.

Numeric primitives in local scope (variables in methods) must be explicitly initialized.

If you are only worried about division by zero exceptions, checking that your double is not exactly zero works great.

if(value != 0)
    //divide by value is safe when value is not exactly zero.

Otherwise when checking if a floating point value like double or float is 0, an error threshold is used to detect if the value is near 0, but not quite 0.

public boolean isZero(double value, double threshold){
    return value >= -threshold && value <= threshold;
}

JQuery select2 set default value from an option in list?

The above solutions did not work for me, but this code from Select2's own website did:

$('select').trigger('change'); // Notify any JS components that the value changed

Hope this helps for anyone who is struggling, like I was.

Access index of last element in data frame

Combining @comte's answer and dmdip's answer in Get index of a row of a pandas dataframe as an integer

df.tail(1).index.item()

gives you the value of the index.


Note that indices are not always well defined not matter they are multi-indexed or single indexed. Modifying dataframes using indices might result in unexpected behavior. We will have an example with a multi-indexed case but note this is also true in a single-indexed case.

Say we have

df = pd.DataFrame({'x':[1,1,3,3], 'y':[3,3,5,5]}, index=[11,11,12,12]).stack()

11  x    1
    y    3
    x    1
    y    3
12  x    3
    y    5              # the index is (12, 'y')
    x    3
    y    5              # the index is also (12, 'y')

df.tail(1).index.item() # gives (12, 'y')

Trying to access the last element with the index df[12, "y"] yields

(12, y)    5
(12, y)    5
dtype: int64

If you attempt to modify the dataframe based on the index (12, y), you will modify two rows rather than one. Thus, even though we learned to access the value of last row's index, it might not be a good idea if you want to change the values of last row based on its index as there could be many that share the same index. You should use df.iloc[-1] to access last row in this case though.

How to kill a child process by the parent process?

Send a SIGTERM or a SIGKILL to it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGKILL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGTERM

SIGTERM is polite and lets the process clean up before it goes, whereas, SIGKILL is for when it won't listen >:)

Example from the shell (man page: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?kill )

kill -9 pid

In C, you can do the same thing using the kill syscall:

kill(pid, SIGKILL);

See the following man page: http://linux.die.net/man/2/kill

Does Java SE 8 have Pairs or Tuples?

Since you only care about the indexes, you don't need to map to tuples at all. Why not just write a filter that uses the looks up elements in your array?

            .filter(i -> value[i] > 30)  //or whatever filter you want
            .forEach(i -> System.out.println(i));

But, in the current process, it cannot propagate those changes to other running processes.

However, if you directly modify user environment variables in the Registry Editor,

those modifications to the environment variables do not result in immediate change. For example, if you start another Command Prompt after making the changes, the environment variables will reflect the previous (not the current) values. The changes do not take effect until you log off and then log back on.

To effect these changes without having to log off, broadcast a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to all windows in the system, so that any interested applications (such as Windows Explorer, Program Manager, Task Manager, Control Panel, and so forth) can perform an update.

See details at How to propagate environment variables to the system

How can I print variable and string on same line in Python?

On a current python version you have to use parenthesis, like so :

print ("If there was a birth every 7 seconds", X)

Is it possible to auto-format your code in Dreamweaver?

Please click on "edit" -> then keyboard shortcuts. It`s straight forward from there. Just select the command from the list, and press the + button.

You will need to create a duplicate set, then select it again from the list. And finally set a keyboard shortcut!

Now, before saving, press the shortcut you just created!

how to add <script>alert('test');</script> inside a text box?

I want to alert('test'); in an input type text but it should not execute the alert(alert prompt).

<input type="text" value="<script>alert('test');</script>" />

Produces:

enter image description here

You can do this programatically via JavaScript. First obtain a reference to the input element, then set the value attribute.

var inputElement = document.querySelector("input");
inputElement.value = "<script>alert('test');<\/script>";

Retrieve Button value with jQuery

if you want to get the value attribute (buttonValue) then I'd use:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.my_button').click(function() {
            alert($(this).attr('value'));
        });
    });
</script>

Test if executable exists in Python?

On the basis that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission (and, importantly, that the command is safe to run) I would just try to use it and catch the error (OSError in this case - I checked for file does not exist and file is not executable and they both give OSError).

It helps if the executable has something like a --version flag that is a quick no-op.

import subprocess
myexec = "python2.8"
try:
    subprocess.call([myexec, '--version']
except OSError:
    print "%s not found on path" % myexec

This is not a general solution, but will be the easiest way for a lot of use cases - those where the code needs to look for a single well known executable which is safe to run, or at least safe to run with a given flag.

MySQL foreign key constraints, cascade delete

I got confused by the answer to this question, so I created a test case in MySQL, hope this helps

-- Schema
CREATE TABLE T1 (
    `ID` int not null auto_increment,
    `Label` varchar(50),
    primary key (`ID`)
);

CREATE TABLE T2 (
    `ID` int not null auto_increment,
    `Label` varchar(50),
    primary key (`ID`)
);

CREATE TABLE TT (
    `IDT1` int not null,
    `IDT2` int not null,
    primary key (`IDT1`,`IDT2`)
);

ALTER TABLE `TT`
    ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_tt_t1` FOREIGN KEY (`IDT1`) REFERENCES `T1`(`ID`) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_tt_t2` FOREIGN KEY (`IDT2`) REFERENCES `T2`(`ID`) ON DELETE CASCADE;

-- Data
INSERT INTO `T1` (`Label`) VALUES ('T1V1'),('T1V2'),('T1V3'),('T1V4');
INSERT INTO `T2` (`Label`) VALUES ('T2V1'),('T2V2'),('T2V3'),('T2V4');
INSERT INTO `TT` (`IDT1`,`IDT2`) VALUES
(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),
(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),
(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),
(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4);

-- Delete
DELETE FROM `T2` WHERE `ID`=4; -- Delete one field, all the associated fields on tt, will be deleted, no change in T1
TRUNCATE `T2`; -- Can't truncate a table with a referenced field
DELETE FROM `T2`; -- This will do the job, delete all fields from T2, and all associations from TT, no change in T1

How do you pass view parameters when navigating from an action in JSF2?

A solution without reference to a Bean:

<h:button value="login" 
        outcome="content/configuration.xhtml?i=1" />

In my project I needed this approach:

<h:commandButton value="login" 
        action="content/configuration.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&amp;i=1"  />

How do I concatenate strings with variables in PowerShell?

You could use the PowerShell equivalent of String.Format - it's usually the easiest way to build up a string. Place {0}, {1}, etc. where you want the variables in the string, put a -f immediately after the string and then the list of variables separated by commas.

Get-ChildItem c:\code|%{'{0}\{1}\{2}.dll' -f $_.fullname,$buildconfig,$_.name}

(I've also taken the dash out of the $buildconfig variable name as I have seen that causes issues before too.)

When to catch java.lang.Error?

An Error usually shouldn't be caught, as it indicates an abnormal condition that should never occur.

From the Java API Specification for the Error class:

An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions. [...]

A method is not required to declare in its throws clause any subclasses of Error that might be thrown during the execution of the method but not caught, since these errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.

As the specification mentions, an Error is only thrown in circumstances that are Chances are, when an Error occurs, there is very little the application can do, and in some circumstances, the Java Virtual Machine itself may be in an unstable state (such as VirtualMachineError)

Although an Error is a subclass of Throwable which means that it can be caught by a try-catch clause, but it probably isn't really needed, as the application will be in an abnormal state when an Error is thrown by the JVM.

There's also a short section on this topic in Section 11.5 The Exception Hierarchy of the Java Language Specification, 2nd Edition.

vector vs. list in STL

If you don't need to insert elements often then a vector will be more efficient. It has much better CPU cache locality than a list. In other words, accessing one element makes it very likely that the next element is present in the cache and can be retrieved without having to read slow RAM.

Event system in Python

I made a variation of Longpoke's minimalistic approach that also ensures the signatures for both callees and callers:

class EventHook(object):
    '''
    A simple implementation of the Observer-Pattern.
    The user can specify an event signature upon inizializazion,
    defined by kwargs in the form of argumentname=class (e.g. id=int).
    The arguments' types are not checked in this implementation though.
    Callables with a fitting signature can be added with += or removed with -=.
    All listeners can be notified by calling the EventHook class with fitting
    arguments.

    >>> event = EventHook(id=int, data=dict)
    >>> event += lambda id, data: print("%d %s" % (id, data))
    >>> event(id=5, data={"foo": "bar"})
    5 {'foo': 'bar'}

    >>> event = EventHook(id=int)
    >>> event += lambda wrong_name: None
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: Listener must have these arguments: (id=int)

    >>> event = EventHook(id=int)
    >>> event += lambda id: None
    >>> event(wrong_name=0)
    Traceback (most recent call last):

cat, grep and cut - translated to python

You need to have better understanding of the python language and its standard library to translate the expression

cat "$filename": Reads the file cat "$filename" and dumps the content to stdout

|: pipe redirects the stdout from previous command and feeds it to the stdin of the next command

grep "something": Searches the regular expressionsomething plain text data file (if specified) or in the stdin and returns the matching lines.

cut -d'"' -f2: Splits the string with the specific delimiter and indexes/splices particular fields from the resultant list

Python Equivalent

cat "$filename"  | with open("$filename",'r') as fin:        | Read the file Sequentially
                 |     for line in fin:                      |   
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grep 'something' | import re                                 | The python version returns
                 | line = re.findall(r'something', line)[0]  | a list of matches. We are only
                 |                                           | interested in the zero group
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cut -d'"' -f2    | line = line.split('"')[1]                 | Splits the string and selects
                 |                                           | the second field (which is
                 |                                           | index 1 in python)

Combining

import re
with open("filename") as origin_file:
    for line in origin_file:
        line = re.findall(r'something', line)
        if line:
           line = line[0].split('"')[1]
        print line

Can you 'exit' a loop in PHP?

All of these are good answers, but I would like to suggest one more that I feel is a better code standard. You may choose to use a flag in the loop condition that indicates whether or not to continue looping and avoid using break all together.

$arr = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'stop', 'five');
$length = count($arr);
$found = false;
for ($i = 0; $i < $length && !$found; $i++) {
    $val = $arr[$i];
    if ($val == 'stop') {
        $found = true; // this will cause the code to 
                       // stop looping the next time 
                       // the condition is checked
    }
    echo "$val<br />\n";
}

I consider this to be better code practice because it does not rely on the scope that break is used. Rather, you define a variable that indicates whether or not to break a specific loop. This is useful when you have many loops that may or may not be nested or sequential.

Convert all strings in a list to int

You can do it simply in one line when taking input.

[int(i) for i in input().split("")]

Split it where you want.

If you want to convert a list not list simply put your list name in the place of input().split("").

                                  this will throw error
                                  </div>  
                                )

         <div>
            {(()=>{

Convert time in HH:MM:SS format to seconds only?

I think the easiest method would be to use strtotime() function:

$time = '21:30:10';
$seconds = strtotime("1970-01-01 $time UTC");
echo $seconds;

// same with objects (for php5.3+)
$time = '21:30:10';
$dt = new DateTime("1970-01-01 $time", new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$seconds = (int)$dt->getTimestamp();
echo $seconds;

demo


Function date_parse() can also be used for parsing date and time:

$time = '21:30:10';
$parsed = date_parse($time);
$seconds = $parsed['hour'] * 3600 + $parsed['minute'] * 60 + $parsed['second'];

demo


If you will parse format MM:SS with strtotime() or date_parse() it will fail (date_parse() is used in strtotime() and DateTime), because when you input format like xx:yy parser assumes it is HH:MM and not MM:SS. I would suggest checking format, and prepend 00: if you only have MM:SS.

demo strtotime() demo date_parse()


If you have hours more than 24, then you can use next function (it will work for MM:SS and HH:MM:SS format):

function TimeToSec($time) {
    $sec = 0;
    foreach (array_reverse(explode(':', $time)) as $k => $v) $sec += pow(60, $k) * $v;
    return $sec;
}

How to format column to number format in Excel sheet?

Sorry to bump an old question but the answer is to count the character length of the cell and not its value.

PHP session handling errors

I had the same error everything was correct like the setting the folder permissions.

It looks like an bug in php in my case because when i delete my PHPSESSID cookie it was working again so aperently something was messed up and the session got removed but the cookie was still active so php had to define the cause differently and checking first if the session file is still they and give another error and not the permission error

Iterate through a C array

It depends. If it's a dynamically allocated array, that is, you created it calling malloc, then as others suggest you must either save the size of the array/number of elements somewhere or have a sentinel (a struct with a special value, that will be the last one).

If it's a static array, you can sizeof it's size/the size of one element. For example:

int array[10], array_size;
...
array_size = sizeof(array)/sizeof(int);

Note that, unless it's global, this only works in the scope where you initialized the array, because if you past it to another function it gets decayed to a pointer.

Hope it helps.

Update data on a page without refreshing

Suppose you want to display some live feed content (say livefeed.txt) on you web page without any page refresh then the following simplified example is for you.

In the below html file, the live data gets updated on the div element of id "liveData"

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Live Update</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="autoUpdate.js"></script>
</head>
<div id="liveData">
    <p>Loading Data...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Below autoUpdate.js reads the live data using XMLHttpRequest object and updates the html div element on every 1 second. I have given comments on most part of the code for better understanding.

autoUpdate.js

window.addEventListener('load', function()
{
    var xhr = null;

    getXmlHttpRequestObject = function()
    {
        if(!xhr)
        {               
            // Create a new XMLHttpRequest object 
            xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        }
        return xhr;
    };

    updateLiveData = function()
    {
        var now = new Date();
        // Date string is appended as a query with live data 
        // for not to use the cached version 
        var url = 'livefeed.txt?' + now.getTime();
        xhr = getXmlHttpRequestObject();
        xhr.onreadystatechange = evenHandler;
        // asynchronous requests
        xhr.open("GET", url, true);
        // Send the request over the network
        xhr.send(null);
    };

    updateLiveData();

    function evenHandler()
    {
        // Check response is ready or not
        if(xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200)
        {
            dataDiv = document.getElementById('liveData');
            // Set current data text
            dataDiv.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
            // Update the live data every 1 sec
            setTimeout(updateLiveData(), 1000);
        }
    }
});

For testing purpose: Just write some thing in the livefeed.txt - You will get updated the same in index.html without any refresh.

livefeed.txt

Hello
World
blah..
blah..

Note: You need to run the above code on the web server (ex: http://localhost:1234/index.html) not as a client html file (ex: file:///C:/index.html).

collapse cell in jupyter notebook

You can create a cell and put the following code in it:

%%html
<style>
div.input {
    display:none;
}
</style>

Running this cell will hide all input cells. To show them back, you can use the menu to clear all outputs.

Otherwise you can try notebook extensions like below:

Keyboard shortcuts in WPF

Although the top answers are correct, I personally like to work with attached properties to enable the solution to be applied to any UIElement, especially when the Window is not aware of the element that should be focused. In my experience I often see a composition of several view models and user controls, where the window is often nothing more that the root container.

            return;

        var window = FindParentWindow(d);
        if (window == null)
            return;

        var gesture = GetFocusShortcut(d);
        if (gesture == null)
        {
            // Remove previous added input binding.
            for (int i = 0; i < window.InputBindings.Count; i++)

        else
        {
            // Add new input binding with the dedicated FocusElementCommand.
            // see: https://gist.github.com/shuebner20/349d044ed5236a7f2568cb17f3ed713d
            var command = new FocusElementCommand(element);
            window.InputBindings.Add(new InputBinding(command, gesture));
        }
    }
}

With this attached property you can define a focus shortcut for any UIElement. It will automatically register the input binding at the window containing the element.

Usage (XAML)

<TextBox x:Name="SearchTextBox"
         Text={Binding Path=SearchText}
         local:AttachedProperties.FocusShortcutKey="Ctrl+Q"/>

Source code

The full sample including the FocusElementCommand implementation is available as gist: https://gist.github.com/shuebner20/c6a5191be23da549d5004ee56bcc352d

Disclaimer: You may use this code everywhere and free of charge. Please keep in mind, that this is a sample that is not suitable for heavy usage. For example, there is no garbage collection of removed elements because the Command will hold a strong reference to the element.

How to terminate script execution when debugging in Google Chrome?

Refering to the answer given by @scottndecker to the following question, chrome now provides a 'disable JavaScript' option under Developer Tools:

  • Vertical ... in upper right
  • Settings
  • And under 'Preferences' go to the 'Debugger' section at the very bottom and select 'Disable JavaScript'

Good thing is you can stop and rerun again just by checking/unchecking it.

What steps are needed to stream RTSP from FFmpeg?

You can use FFserver to stream a video using RTSP.

Just change console syntax to something like this:

ffmpeg -i space.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -crf 18 http://localhost:1234/feed1.ffm

Create a ffserver.config file (sample) where you declare HTTPPort, RTSPPort and SDP stream. Your config file could look like this (some important stuff might be missing):

HTTPPort 1234
RTSPPort 1235

<Feed feed1.ffm>
        File /tmp/feed1.ffm
        FileMaxSize 2M
        ACL allow 127.0.0.1
</Feed>

<Stream test1.sdp>
    Feed feed1.ffm
    Format rtp
    Noaudio
    VideoCodec libx264
    AVOptionVideo flags +global_header
    AVOptionVideo me_range 16
    AVOptionVideo qdiff 4
    AVOptionVideo qmin 10
    AVOptionVideo qmax 51
    ACL allow 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255
</Stream>

With such setup you can watch the stream with i.e. VLC by typing:

rtsp://192.168.0.xxx:1235/test1.sdp

Here is the FFserver documentation.

How to know the git username and email saved during configuration?

The command git config --list will list the settings. There you should also find user.name and user.email.

Assigning strings to arrays of characters

When initializing an array, C allows you to fill it with values. So

char s[100] = "abcd";

is basically the same as

int s[3] = { 1, 2, 3 };

but it doesn't allow you to do the assignment since s is an array and not a free pointer. The meaning of

s = "abcd" 

is to assign the pointer value of abcd to s but you can't change s since then nothing will be pointing to the array.
This can and does work if s is a char* - a pointer that can point to anything.

If you want to copy the string simple use strcpy.

How do I check if a Key is pressed on C++

There is no portable function that allows to check if a key is hit and continue if not. This is always system dependent.

Solution for linux and other posix compliant systems:

Here, for Morgan Mattews's code provide kbhit() functionality in a way compatible with any POSIX compliant system. He uses the trick of desactivating buffering at termios level.

What is the difference between DSA and RSA?

Btw, you cannot encrypt with DSA, only sign. Although they are mathematically equivalent (more or less) you cannot use DSA in practice as an encryption scheme, only as a digital signature scheme.

String concatenation with Groovy

Reproducing tim_yates answer on current hardware and adding leftShift() and concat() method to check the finding:

  'String leftShift' {
    foo << bar << baz
  }
  'String concat' {
    foo.concat(bar)
       .concat(baz)
       .toString()
  }

The outcome shows concat() to be the faster solution for a pure String, but if you can handle GString somewhere else, GString template is still ahead, while honorable mention should go to leftShift() (bitwise operator) and StringBuffer() with initial allocation:

Reset IntelliJ UI to Default

All above answers are correct, but you loose configuration settings.

But if your IDE's only themes or fonts are changed or some UI related issues and you want to restore to default theme, then just delete

${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea13/config/options/options.xml

file while IDE is not running, then after next restart IDE's theme will gets reset to default.

Show whitespace characters in Visual Studio Code

All Platforms (Windows/Linux/Mac):

It is under View -> Render Whitespace.

?? Sometimes the menu item shows that it is currently active but you can's see white spaces. You should uncheck and check again to make it work. It is a known bug


A note about the macOS ?

In the mac environment, you can search for any menu option under the Help menu, then it will open the exact menu path you are looking for. For example, searching for whitespace result in this:

Demo

Show loading image while $.ajax is performed

  1. Create a load element for e.g. an element with id = example_load.
  2. Hide it by default by adding style="display:none;".
  3. Now show it using jquery show element function just above your ajax.

    $('#example_load').show(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", data: {}, url: '/url', success: function(){ // Now hide the load element $('#example_load').hide(); } });

Javascript Click on Element by Class

I'd suggest:

document.querySelector('.rateRecipe.btns-one-small').click();

The above code assumes that the given element has both of those classes; otherwise, if the space is meant to imply an ancestor-descendant relationship:

document.querySelector('.rateRecipe .btns-one-small').click();

The method getElementsByClassName() takes a single class-name (rather than document.querySelector()/document.querySelectorAll(), which take a CSS selector), and you passed two (presumably class-names) to the method.

References:

Return in Scala

By default the last expression of a function will be returned. In your example there is another expression after the point, where you want your return value. If you want to return anything prior to your last expression, you still have to use return.

You could modify your example like this, to return a Boolean from the first part

def balanceMain(elem: List[Char]): Boolean = {
  if (elem.isEmpty) {
    // == is a Boolean resulting function as well, so your can write it this way
    count == 0
  } else {
    // keep the rest in this block, the last value will be returned as well
    if (elem.head == "(") {
      balanceMain(elem.tail, open, count + 1)
    }
    // some more statements
    ...
    // just don't forget your Boolean in the end
    someBoolExpression
  }
}

How can I install a local gem?

If you create your gems with bundler:

# do this in the proper directory
bundle gem foobar

You can install them with rake after they are written:

# cd into your gem directory
rake install

Chances are, that your downloaded gem will know rake install, too.

How to use JNDI DataSource provided by Tomcat in Spring?

Assuming you have a "sampleDS" datasource definition inside your tomcat configuration, you can add following lines to your applicationContext.xml to access the datasource using JNDI.

<jee:jndi-lookup expected-type="javax.sql.DataSource" id="springBeanIdForSampleDS" jndi-name="sampleDS"/>

You have to define the namespace and schema location for jee prefix using:

xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-3.0.xsd"

Ordering by the order of values in a SQL IN() clause

I think you should manage to store your data in a way that you will simply do a join and it will be perfect, so no hacks and complicated things going on.

I have for instance a "Recently played" list of track ids, on SQLite i simply do:

SELECT * FROM recently NATURAL JOIN tracks;

How to do a HTTP HEAD request from the windows command line?

I'd download PuTTY and run a telnet session on port 80 to the webserver you want

HEAD /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com

You could alternatively download Perl and try LWP's HEAD command. Or write your own script.

Save range to variable

... And the answer is:

Set SrcRange = Sheets("Src").Range("A2:A9")
SrcRange.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Dest").Range("A2")

The Set makes all the difference. Then it works like a charm.

How do I find out what is hammering my SQL Server?

Run either of these a few second apart. You'll detect the high CPU connection. Or: stored CPU in a local variable, WAITFOR DELAY, compare stored and current CPU values

select * from master..sysprocesses
where status = 'runnable' --comment this out
order by CPU
desc

select * from master..sysprocesses
order by CPU
desc

May not be the most elegant but it'd effective and quick.

Adding space/padding to a UILabel

One pragmatic solution is to add blank labels of the same height and color as the main label. Set the leading/trailing space to the main label to zero, align vertical centers, and make the width your desired margin.

Random number between 0 and 1 in python

RTM

From the docs for the Python random module:

Functions for integers:

random.randrange(stop)
random.randrange(start, stop[, step])

    Return a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step).
    This is equivalent to choice(range(start, stop, step)), but doesn’t
    actually build a range object.

That explains why it only gives you 0, doesn't it. range(0,1) is [0]. It is choosing from a list consisting of only that value.

Also from those docs:

random.random()    
    Return the next random floating point number in the range [0.0, 1.0).

But if your inclusion of the numpy tag is intentional, you can generate many random floats in that range with one call using a np.random function.

Max parallel http connections in a browser?

Note that increasing a browser's max connections per server to an excessive number (as some sites suggest) can and does lock other users out of small sites with hosting plans that limit the total simultaneous connections on the server.

'Connect-MsolService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

All links to the Azure Active Directory Connection page now seem to be invalid.

I had an older version of Azure AD installed too, this is what worked for me. Install this.

Run these in an elevated PS session:

uninstall-module AzureAD  # this may or may not be needed
install-module AzureAD
install-module AzureADPreview
install-module MSOnline

I was then able to log in and run what I needed.

How to get only the last part of a path in Python?

During my current projects, I'm often passing rear parts of a path to a function and therefore use the Path module. To get the n-th part in reverse order, I'm using:

from typing import Union
from pathlib import Path

def get_single_subpath_part(base_dir: Union[Path, str], n:int) -> str:
    if n ==0:
        return Path(base_dir).name
    for _ in range(n):
        base_dir = Path(base_dir).parent
    return getattr(base_dir, "name")

path= "/folderA/folderB/folderC/folderD/"

# for getting the last part:
print(get_single_subpath_part(path, 0))
# yields "folderD"

# for the second last
print(get_single_subpath_part(path, 1))
#yields "folderC"

Furthermore, to pass the n-th part in reverse order of a path containing the remaining path, I use:

from typing import Union
from pathlib import Path

def get_n_last_subparts_path(base_dir: Union[Path, str], n:int) -> Path:
    return Path(*Path(base_dir).parts[-n-1:])

path= "/folderA/folderB/folderC/folderD/"

# for getting the last part:
print(get_n_last_subparts_path(path, 0))
# yields a `Path` object of "folderD"

# for second last and last part together 
print(get_n_last_subparts_path(path, 1))
# yields a `Path` object of "folderc/folderD"

Note that this function returns a Pathobject which can easily be converted to a string (e.g. str(path))

Possible to perform cross-database queries with PostgreSQL?

I have checked and tried to create a foreign key relationships between 2 tables in 2 different databases using both dblink and postgres_fdw but with no result.

Having read the other peoples feedback on this, for example here and here and in some other sources it looks like there is no way to do that currently:

The dblink and postgres_fdw indeed enable one to connect to and query tables in other databases, which is not possible with the standard Postgres, but they do not allow to establish foreign key relationships between tables in different databases.

Bash checking if string does not contain other string

Use !=.

What's the difference between git reset --mixed, --soft, and --hard?

I’m not a git expert and just arrived on this forum to understand it! Thus maybe my explanation is not perfect, sorry for that. I found all the other answer helpful and I will just try to give another perspective. I will modify a bit the question since I guess that it was maybe the intent of the author: “I’m new to git. Before using git, I was renaming my files like this: main.c, main_1.c, main_2.c when i was performing majors changes in order to be able to go back in case of trouble. Thus, if I decided to come back to main_1.c, it was easy and I also keep main_2.c and main_3.c since I could also need them later. How can I easily do the same thing using git?” For my answer, I mainly use the “regret number three” of the great answer of Matt above because I also think that the initial question is about “what do I do if I have regret when using git?”. At the beginning, the situation is like that:

A-B-C-D (master)

  1. The first main point is to create a new branch: git branch mynewbranch. Then one get:

A-B-C-D (master and mynewbranch)

  1. Let’s suppose now that one want to come back to A (3 commits before). The second main point is to use the command git reset --hard even if one can read on the net that it is dangerous. Yes, it’s dangerous but only for uncommitted changes. Thus, the way to do is:

Git reset --hard thenumberofthecommitA

or

Git reset --hard master~3

Then one obtains: A (master) – B – C – D (mynewbranch)

Then, it’s possible to continue working and commit from A (master) but still can get an easy access to the other versions by checking out on the other branch: git checkout mynewbranch. Now, let’s imagine that one forgot to create a new branch before the command git reset --hard. Is the commit B, C, D are lost? No, but there are not stored in any branches. To find them again, one may use the command : git reflog that is consider as “a safety command”( “in case of trouble, keep calm and use git reflog”). This command will list all commits even those that not belong to any branches. Thus, it’s a convenient way to find the commit B, C or D.

Cannot make file java.io.IOException: No such file or directory

Be careful with permissions, it is problably you don't have some of them. You can see it in settings -> apps -> name of the application -> permissions -> active if not.

Permissions app

The APK file does not exist on disk

i solved this app by doing

  1. First Build - > Build Apk(s)
  2. Run the app now

if it not worked do Clean and build the project and then do again 1 & 2.

How to find all the dependencies of a table in sql server

Besides the methods described in other answers (sp_depends system stored procedure, SQL Server dynamic management functions) you can also view dependencies between SQL Server objects - from SSMS.

You can use the View Dependencies option from SSMS. From the Object Explorer pane, right click on the object and from the context menu, select the View Dependencies option

I myself prefer a 3rd party dependency viewer called ApexSQL Search. It is a free add-in, which integrates into SSMS and Visual Studio for SQL object and data text search, extended property management, safe object rename, and relationship visualization.

Plot multiple columns on the same graph in R

To select columns to plot, I added 2 lines to Vincent Zoonekynd's answer:

#convert to tall/long format(from wide format)
col_plot = c("A","B")
dlong <- melt(d[,c("Xax", col_plot)], id.vars="Xax")  

#"value" and "variable" are default output column names of melt()
ggplot(dlong, aes(Xax,value, col=variable)) +
  geom_point() + 
  geom_smooth()

Google "tidy data" to know more about tall(or long)/wide format.

How to show changed file name only with git log?

Now I use the following to get the list of changed files my current branch has, comparing it to master (the compare-to branch is easily changed):

git log --oneline --pretty="format:" --name-only master.. | awk 'NF' | sort -u

Before, I used to rely on this:

git log --name-status <branch>..<branch> | grep -E '^[A-Z]\b' | sort -k 2,2 -u

which outputs a list of files only and their state (added, modified, deleted):

A   foo/bar/xyz/foo.txt
M   foo/bor/bar.txt
...

The -k2,2 option for sort, makes it sort by file path instead of the type of change (A, M, D,).

Java getting the Enum name given the Enum Value

You should replace your getEnumNameForValue by a call to the name() method.

How do I remove a specific element from a JSONArray?

i guess you are using Me version, i suggest to add this block of function manually, in your code (JSONArray.java) :

public Object remove(int index) {
    Object o = this.opt(index);
    this.myArrayList.removeElementAt(index);
    return o;
}

In java version they use ArrayList, in ME Version they use Vector.

Reason for Column is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause

Suppose I have the following table T:

a   b
--------
1   abc
1   def
1   ghi
2   jkl
2   mno
2   pqr

And I do the following query:

SELECT a, b
FROM T
GROUP BY a

The output should have two rows, one row where a=1 and a second row where a=2.

But what should the value of b show on each of these two rows? There are three possibilities in each case, and nothing in the query makes it clear which value to choose for b in each group. It's ambiguous.

This demonstrates the single-value rule, which prohibits the undefined results you get when you run a GROUP BY query, and you include any columns in the select-list that are neither part of the grouping criteria, nor appear in aggregate functions (SUM, MIN, MAX, etc.).

Fixing it might look like this:

SELECT a, MAX(b) AS x
FROM T
GROUP BY a

Now it's clear that you want the following result:

a   x
--------
1   ghi
2   pqr

How to set the size of button in HTML

Do you mean something like this?

HTML

<button class="test"></button>

CSS

.test{
    height:200px;
    width:200px;
}

If you want to use inline CSS instead of an external stylesheet, see this:

<button style="height:200px;width:200px"></button>

AngularJs - ng-model in a SELECT

You dont need to define option tags, you can do this using the ngOptions directive: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngOptions

<select class="form-control" ng-change="unitChanged()" ng-model="data.unit" ng-options="unit.id as unit.label for unit in units"></select>

Difference between chr(13) and chr(10)

Chr(10) is the Line Feed character and Chr(13) is the Carriage Return character.

You probably won't notice a difference if you use only one or the other, but you might find yourself in a situation where the output doesn't show properly with only one or the other. So it's safer to include both.


Historically, Line Feed would move down a line but not return to column 1:

This  
    is  
        a  
            test.

Similarly Carriage Return would return to column 1 but not move down a line:

This  
is  
a  
test.

Paste this into a text editor and then choose to "show all characters", and you'll see both characters present at the end of each line. Better safe than sorry.

What is the equivalent of the C# 'var' keyword in Java?

Java 10 did get local variable type inference, so now it has var which is pretty much equivalent to the C# one (so far as I am aware).

It can also infer non-denotable types (types which couldn't be named in that place by the programmer; though which types are non-denotable is different). See e.g. Tricks with var and anonymous classes (that you should never use at work).

The one difference I could find is that in C#,

If a type named var is in scope, then the var keyword will resolve to that type name and will not be treated as part of an implicitly typed local variable declaration.

In Java 10 var is not a legal type name.

How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle?

Trigger and Sequence can be used when you want serialized number that anyone can easily read/remember/understand. But if you don't want to manage ID Column (like emp_id) by this way, and value of this column is not much considerable, you can use SYS_GUID() at Table Creation to get Auto Increment like this.

CREATE TABLE <table_name> 
(emp_id RAW(16) DEFAULT SYS_GUID() PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(30));

Now your emp_id column will accept "globally unique identifier value". you can insert value in table by ignoring emp_id column like this.

INSERT INTO <table_name> (name) VALUES ('name value');

So, it will insert unique value to your emp_id Column.

CSS Disabled scrolling

Try using the following code snippet. This should solve your issue.

body, html { 
    overflow-x: hidden; 
    overflow-y: auto;
}

How can I find the number of days between two Date objects in Ruby?

Try this:

glm rotate usage in Opengl

I noticed that you can also get errors if you don't specify the angles correctly, even when using glm::rotate(Model, angle_in_degrees, glm::vec3(x, y, z)) you still might run into problems. The fix I found for this was specifying the type as glm::rotate(Model, (glm::mediump_float)90, glm::vec3(x, y, z)) instead of just saying glm::rotate(Model, 90, glm::vec3(x, y, z))

Or just write the second argument, the angle in radians (previously in degrees), as a float with no cast needed such as in:

glm::mat4 rotationMatrix = glm::rotate(glm::mat4(1.0f), 3.14f, glm::vec3(1.0));

You can add glm::radians() if you want to keep using degrees. And add the includes:

#include "glm/glm.hpp"
#include "glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp"

Why did I get the compile error "Use of unassigned local variable"?

While value types have default values and can not be null, they also need to be explicitly initialized in order to be used. You can think of these two rules as side by side rules.

Value types can not be null ? the compiler guarantees that. If you ask how, the error message you got is the answer. Once you call their constructors, they got initialized with their default values.

int tmpCnt; // Not accepted
int tmpCnt = new Int(); // Default value applied tmpCnt = 0

What does the "~" (tilde/squiggle/twiddle) CSS selector mean?

It is General sibling combinator and is explained in @Salaman's answer very well.

What I did miss is Adjacent sibling combinator which is + and is closely related to ~.

example would be

.a + .b {
  background-color: #ff0000;
}

<ul>
  <li class="a">1st</li>
  <li class="b">2nd</li>
  <li>3rd</li>
  <li class="b">4th</li>
  <li class="a">5th</li>
</ul>
  • Matches elements that are .b
  • Are adjacent to .a
  • After .a in HTML

In example above it will mark 2nd li but not 4th.

Sleeping in a batch file

From Windows Vista on you have the TIMEOUT and SLEEP commands, but to use them on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you'll need the Windows Server 2003 resource tool kit.

Here you have a good overview of sleep alternatives (the ping approach is the most popular as it will work on every Windows machine), but there's (at least) one not mentioned which (ab)uses the W32TM (Time Service) command:

w32tm /stripchart /computer:localhost /period:1 /dataonly /samples:N  >nul 2>&1

Where you should replace the N with the seconds you want to pause. Also, it will work on every Windows system without prerequisites.

Typeperf can also be used:

typeperf "\System\Processor Queue Length" -si N -sc 1 >nul

With mshta and javascript (can be used for sleep under a second):

start "" /wait /min /realtime mshta "javascript:setTimeout(function(){close();},5000)"

This should be even more precise (for waiting under a second) - self compiling executable relying on .net:

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment

::del %~n0.exe /q /f
::
:: For precision better call this like
:: call waitMS 500
:: in order to skip compilation in case there's already built .exe
:: as without pointed extension first the .exe will be called due to the ordering in PATEXT variable
::
::
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /b /s /a:-d  /o:-n "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\*jsc.exe"') do (
   set "jsc=%%v"
)

if not exist "%~n0.exe" (
    "%jsc%" /nologo /w:0 /out:"%~n0.exe" "%~dpsfnx0"

400 vs 422 response to POST of data

Your case: HTTP 400 is the right status code for your case from REST perspective as its syntactically incorrect to send sales_tax instead of tax, though its a valid JSON. This is normally enforced by most of the server side frameworks when mapping the JSON to objects. However, there are some REST implementations that ignore new key in JSON object. In that case, a custom content-type specification to accept only valid fields can be enforced by server-side.

Ideal Scenario for 422:

In an ideal world, 422 is preferred and generally acceptable to send as response if the server understands the content type of the request entity and the syntax of the request entity is correct but was unable to process the data because its semantically erroneous.

Situations of 400 over 422:

Remember, the response code 422 is an extended HTTP (WebDAV) status code. There are still some HTTP clients / front-end libraries that aren't prepared to handle 422. For them, its as simple as "HTTP 422 is wrong, because it's not HTTP". From the service perspective, 400 isn't quite specific.

In enterprise architecture, the services are deployed mostly on service layers like SOA, IDM, etc. They typically serve multiple clients ranging from a very old native client to a latest HTTP clients. If one of the clients doesn't handle HTTP 422, the options are that asking the client to upgrade or change your response code to HTTP 400 for everyone. In my experience, this is very rare these days but still a possibility. So, a careful study of your architecture is always required before deciding on the HTTP response codes.

To handle situation like these, the service layers normally use versioning or setup configuration flag for strict HTTP conformance clients to send 400, and send 422 for the rest of them. That way they provide backwards compatibility support for existing consumers but at the same time provide the ability for the new clients to consume HTTP 422.


The latest update to RFC7321 says:

The 400 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or
   will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be
   a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request
   message framing, or deceptive request routing).

This confirms that servers can send HTTP 400 for invalid request. 400 doesn't refer only to syntax error anymore, however, 422 is still a genuine response provided the clients can handle it.

Way to get number of digits in an int?

    }
    System.out.println(count);

Android statusbar icons color

@eOnOe has answered how we can change status bar tint through xml. But we can also change it dynamically in code:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    View decor = getWindow().getDecorView();
    if (shouldChangeStatusBarTintToDark) {
        decor.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
    } else {
        // We want to change tint color to white again.
        // You can also record the flags in advance so that you can turn UI back completely if
        // you have set other flags before, such as translucent or full screen.
        decor.setSystemUiVisibility(0);
    }
}

How do I get the currently-logged username from a Windows service in .NET?

This is a WMI query to get the user name:

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT UserName FROM Win32_ComputerSystem");
ManagementObjectCollection collection = searcher.Get();
string username = (string)collection.Cast<ManagementBaseObject>().First()["UserName"];

You will need to add System.Management under References manually.

      if (str==="Hardware")
      {
        SPICEWORKS.utils.addStyle('#ticket_c_hardware_clone{display: none !important;}');
      }

    }

How to update std::map after using the find method?

If you already know the key, you can directly update the value at that key using m[key] = new_value

Here is a sample code that might help:

map<int, int> m;

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
    m[i] = i;

for(auto it=m.begin(); it!=m.end(); it++)
    cout<<it->second<<" ";
//Output: 0 1 2 3 4

m[4] = 7;  //updating value at key 4 here

cout<<"\n"; //Change line

for(auto it=m.begin(); it!=m.end(); it++)
    cout<<it->second<<" ";
// Output: 0 1 2 3 7    

Django - what is the difference between render(), render_to_response() and direct_to_template()?

Just one note I could not find in the answers above. In this code:

context_instance = RequestContext(request)
return render_to_response(template_name, user_context, context_instance)

What the third parameter context_instance actually does? Being RequestContext it sets up some basic context which is then added to user_context. So the template gets this extended context. What variables are added is given by TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in settings.py. For instance django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth adds variable user and variable perm which are then accessible in the template.

Call multiple functions onClick ReactJS

You can use nested.

There are tow function one is openTab() and another is closeMobileMenue(), Firstly we call openTab() and call another function inside closeMobileMenue().

function openTab() {
    window.open('https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drishya');
    closeMobileMenue()   //After open new tab, Nav Menue will close.  
}

onClick={openTab}

Where does Java's String constant pool live, the heap or the stack?

To the great answers that already included here I want to add something that missing in my perspective - an illustration.

As you already JVM divides the allocated memory to a Java program into two parts. one is stack and another one is heap. Stack is used for execution purpose and heap is used for storage purpose. In that heap memory, JVM allocates some memory specially meant for string literals. This part of the heap memory is called string constants pool.

So for example, if you init the following objects:

String s1 = "abc"; 
String s2 = "123";
String obj1 = new String("abc");
String obj2 = new String("def");
String obj3 = new String("456);

String literals s1 and s2 will go to string constant pool, objects obj1, obj2, obj3 to the heap. All of them, will be referenced from the Stack.

Also, please note that "abc" will appear in heap and in string constant pool. Why is String s1 = "abc" and String obj1 = new String("abc") will be created this way? It's because String obj1 = new String("abc") explicitly creates a new and referentially distinct instance of a String object and String s1 = "abc" may reuse an instance from the string constant pool if one is available.

How can I preview a merge in git?

Pull Request - I've used most of the already submitted ideas but one that I also often use is ( especially if its from another dev ) doing a Pull Request which gives a handy way to review all of the changes in a merge before it takes place. I know that is GitHub not git but it sure is handy.

Cannot install packages inside docker Ubuntu image

Make sure you don't have any syntax errors in your Dockerfile as this can cause this error as well. A correct example is:

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get -y install curl \
    another-package

It was a combination of fixing a syntax error and adding apt-get update that solved the problem for me.

How to install cron

C++ Loop through Map

Try the following

for ( const auto &p : table )
{
   std::cout << p.first << '\t' << p.second << std::endl;
} 

The same can be written using an ordinary for loop

for ( auto it = table.begin(); it != table.end(); ++it  )
{
   std::cout << it->first << '\t' << it->second << std::endl;
} 

Take into account that value_type for std::map is defined the following way

typedef pair<const Key, T> value_type

Thus in my example p is a const reference to the value_type where Key is std::string and T is int

Also it would be better if the function would be declared as

void output( const map<string, int> &table );

Upload failed You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 2

For people who use Android Studio the problem may be solved by editing versionCode and versionName in build.gradle instead of AndroidManifest.xml.

e.g.

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.my.packageId"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 2      <-- change this
    versionName "2.0"  <-- change this
}

How can I specify a [DllImport] path at runtime?

As long as you know the directory where your C++ libraries could be found at run time, this should be simple. I can clearly see that this is the case in your code. Your myDll.dll would be present inside myLibFolder directory inside temporary folder of the current user.

string str = Path.GetTempPath() + "..\\myLibFolder\\myDLL.dll"; 

Now you can continue using the DllImport statement using a const string as shown below:

[DllImport("myDLL.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
public static extern int DLLFunction(int Number1, int Number2);

Just at run time before you call the DLLFunction function (present in C++ library) add this line of code in C# code:

string assemblyProbeDirectory = Path.GetTempPath() + "..\\myLibFolder\\myDLL.dll"; 
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(assemblyProbeDirectory);

This simply instructs the CLR to look for the unmanaged C++ libraries at the directory path which you obtained at run time of your program. Directory.SetCurrentDirectory call sets the application's current working directory to the specified directory. If your myDLL.dll is present at path represented by assemblyProbeDirectory path then it will get loaded and the desired function will get called through p/invoke.

How to scroll page in flutter

Command to open file with git

Brenton Alker above said 'start ' works -- I'll add a caveat to that: that works for all files that are already associated with sublime-text (as he says, it works as if they were double clicked in windows explorer).

But if, for example, you wanted to open the .gitignore file from your shell into sublime_text, and .gitignore is not associated with sublime_text, here's what I did:

I edited my PATH environment variable to contain the Sublime Text folder within program files, the one that holds sublime_text.exe. Now, in my terminal (I use powershell, but it works from any terminal), when I type 'sublime_text .gitignore' the .gitignore from my current directory opens in Sublime!

I tried to make a .bat file called sublime.bat that would work so that I could just type sublime .gitignore, but that didn't work - it opened sublime text but not the file for some reason. I'm content with sublime_text (tab completion simplifies it for me, actually -- simply 'su[tab]' does the trick!

How to find and restore a deleted file in a Git repository

I've got this solution.

  1. Get the id of the commit where the file was deleted using one of the ways below.

    • git log --grep=*word*
    • git log -Sword
    • git log | grep --context=5 *word*
    • git log --stat | grep --context=5 *word* # recommended if you hardly remember anything
  2. You should get something like:

commit bfe68bd117e1091c96d2976c99b3bcc8310bebe7 Author: Alexander Orlov Date: Thu May 12 23:44:27 2011 +0200

replaced deprecated GWT class
- gwtI18nKeySync.sh, an outdated (?, replaced by a Maven goal) I18n generation script

commit 3ea4e3af253ac6fd1691ff6bb89c964f54802302 Author: Alexander Orlov Date: Thu May 12 22:10:22 2011 +0200

3. Now using the commit id bfe68bd117e1091c96d2976c99b3bcc8310bebe7 do:

git checkout bfe68bd117e1091c96d2976c99b3bcc8310bebe7^1 yourDeletedFile.java

As the commit id references the commit where the file was already deleted you need to reference the commit just before bfe68b which you can do by appending ^1. This means: give me the commit just before bfe68b.

Opening a folder in explorer and selecting a file

It might be a bit of a overkill but I like convinience functions so take this one:

    public static void ShowFileInExplorer(FileInfo file) {
        StartProcess("explorer.exe", null, "/select, "+file.FullName.Quote());
    }
    public static Process StartProcess(FileInfo file, params string[] args) => StartProcess(file.FullName, file.DirectoryName, args);
    public static Process StartProcess(string file, string workDir = null, params string[] args) {
        ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
        proc.FileName = file;
        proc.Arguments = string.Join(" ", args);
        Logger.Debug(proc.FileName, proc.Arguments); // Replace with your logging function
        if (workDir != null) {
            proc.WorkingDirectory = workDir;
            Logger.Debug("WorkingDirectory:", proc.WorkingDirectory); // Replace with your logging function
        }
        return Process.Start(proc);
    }

This is the extension function I use as <string>.Quote():

static class Extensions
{
    public static string Quote(this string text)
    {
        return SurroundWith(text, "\"");
    }
    public static string SurroundWith(this string text, string surrounds)
    {
        return surrounds + text + surrounds;
    }
}

How to change dot size in gnuplot

The pointsize command scales the size of points, but does not affect the size of dots.

In other words, plot ... with points ps 2 will generate points of twice the normal size, but for plot ... with dots ps 2 the "ps 2" part is ignored.

You could use circular points (pt 7), which look just like dots.

How to frame two for loops in list comprehension python

The best way to remember this is that the order of for loop inside the list comprehension is based on the order in which they appear in traditional loop approach. Outer most loop comes first, and then the inner loops subsequently.

So, the equivalent list comprehension would be:

[entry for tag in tags for entry in entries if tag in entry]

In general, if-else statement comes before the first for loop, and if you have just an if statement, it will come at the end. For e.g, if you would like to add an empty list, if tag is not in entry, you would do it like this:

[entry if tag in entry else [] for tag in tags for entry in entries]

How to receive JSON as an MVC 5 action method parameter

fwiw, this didn't work for me until I had this in the ajax call:

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

using Asp.Net MVC 4.

node-request - Getting error "SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol"

So in Short,

vi ~/.proxy_info

export http_proxy=<username>:<password>@<proxy>:8080
export https_proxy=<username>:<password>@<proxy>:8080

source ~/.proxy_info

Hope this helps someone in hurry :)

How to read data of an Excel file using C#?

You can use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel assembly to process excel files.

  1. Right click on your project and go to Add reference. Add the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel assembly.
  2. Include using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; to make use of assembly.

Here is the sample code:

    using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

    //create the Application object we can use in the member functions.
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application _excelApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
    _excelApp.Visible = true;

    string fileName = "C:\\sampleExcelFile.xlsx";

    //open the workbook
    Workbook workbook = _excelApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName,
        Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

    //select the first sheet        
    Worksheet worksheet = (Worksheet)workbook.Worksheets[1];

    //find the used range in worksheet
    Range excelRange = worksheet.UsedRange;

    //get an object array of all of the cells in the worksheet (their values)
    object[,] valueArray = (object[,])excelRange.get_Value(
                XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault);

    //access the cells
    for (int row = 1;  row <= worksheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count; ++row)
    {
        for (int col = 1; col <= worksheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count; ++col)
        {
            //access each cell
            Debug.Print(valueArray[row, col].ToString());
        }
    }

    //clean up stuffs
    workbook.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workbook);

    _excelApp.Quit();
    Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(_excelApp);

What is the best way to auto-generate INSERT statements for a SQL Server table?

The first link to sp_generate_inserts is pretty cool, here is a really simple version:

DECLARE @Fields VARCHAR(max); SET @Fields = '[QueueName], [iSort]' -- your fields, keep []
DECLARE @Table  VARCHAR(max); SET @Table  = 'Queues'               -- your table

DECLARE @SQL    VARCHAR(max)
SET @SQL = 'DECLARE @S VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT @S = ISNULL(@S + '' UNION '', ''INSERT INTO ' + @Table + '(' + @Fields + ')'') + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 
 ''SELECT '' + ' + REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@Fields, ',', ' + '', '' + '), '[', ''''''''' + CAST('),']',' AS VARCHAR(max)) + ''''''''') +' FROM ' + @Table + '
PRINT @S'

EXEC (@SQL)

On my system, I get this result:

INSERT INTO Queues([QueueName], [iSort])
SELECT 'WD: Auto Capture', '10' UNION 
SELECT 'Car/Lar', '11' UNION 
SELECT 'Scan Line', '21' UNION 
SELECT 'OCR', '22' UNION 
SELECT 'Dynamic Template', '23' UNION 
SELECT 'Fix MICR', '41' UNION 
SELECT 'Fix MICR (Supervisor)', '42' UNION 
SELECT 'Foreign MICR', '43' UNION 
...

eslint: error Parsing error: The keyword 'const' is reserved

you also can add this inline instead of config, just add it to the same file before you add your own disable stuff

/* eslint-env es6 */
/* eslint-disable no-console */

my case was disable a file and eslint-disable were not working for me alone

/* eslint-env es6 */
/* eslint-disable */

PHP string concatenation

Just use . for concatenating. And you missed out the $personCount increment!

while ($personCount < 10) {
    $result .= $personCount . ' people';
    $personCount++;
}

echo $result;

Evaluating a mathematical expression in a string

This is a massively late reply, but I think useful for future reference. Rather than write your own math parser (although the pyparsing example above is great) you could use SymPy. I don't have a lot of experience with it, but it contains a much more powerful math engine than anyone is likely to write for a specific application and the basic expression evaluation is very easy:

>>> import sympy
>>> x, y, z = sympy.symbols('x y z')
>>> sympy.sympify("x**3 + sin(y)").evalf(subs={x:1, y:-3})
0.858879991940133

Very cool indeed! A from sympy import * brings in a lot more function support, such as trig functions, special functions, etc., but I've avoided that here to show what's coming from where.

Calculate mean across dimension in a 2D array

If you do this a lot, NumPy is the way to go.

If for some reason you can't use NumPy:

>>> map(lambda x:sum(x)/float(len(x)), zip(*a))
[45.0, 10.5]

Getting only hour/minute of datetime

I would recommend keeping the object you have, and just utilizing the properties that you want, rather than removing the resolution you already have.

If you want to print it in a certain format you may want to look at this...That way you can preserve your resolution further down the line.

That being said you can create a new DateTime object using only the properties you want as @romkyns has in his answer.

Embedding a media player in a website using HTML

I found the that either IE or Chrome choked on most of these, or they required external libraries. I just wanted to play an MP3, and I found the page http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_sounds.asp very helpful.

<audio controls>
  <source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
  <embed height="50" width="100" src="horse.mp3">
</audio>

Worked for me in the browsers I tried, but I didn't have some of the old ones around at this time.

Convert time span value to format "hh:mm Am/Pm" using C#

string displayValue="03:00 AM";

This is a point in time , not a duration (TimeSpan).

So something is wrong with your basic design or assumptions.

If you do want to use it, you'll have to convert it to a DateTime (point in time) first. You can format a DateTime without the date part, that would be your desired string.

TimeSpan t1 = ...;
DateTime d1 = DateTime.Today + t1;               // any date will do
string result = d1.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt");

storeTime variable can have value like
storeTime=16:00:00;

No, it can have a value of 4 o'clock but the representation is binary, a TimeSpan cannot record the difference between 16:00 and 4 pm.

How to change port number for apache in WAMP

From the wampserver 3.x onwards, changing the listening port number of Apache does not require any particular Apache skills (http.conf, virtualhost,...), you just have to click button - assuming you're running Windows OS! :

  1. In the tray, right click green/running WAMP icon
  2. Select menu Tools
  3. In the section Port used by Apache: xx, click Use a port other than 80 (i.e. default port configuration)
  4. Enter the desired port number in the popup window - usually 8080 as alternative Web port

NB: For alternative port: check official IANA Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry

How to convert int to float in C?

Begin, Rescue and Ensure in Ruby?

Yes, ensure like finally guarantees that the block will be executed. This is very useful for making sure that critical resources are protected e.g. closing a file handle on error, or releasing a mutex.

unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

Just for those new to iOS buddies (like me) who decided to have multiple cells and in a different xib file, the solution is not to have identifier but to do this:

let cell = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("newsDetails", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! newsDetailsTableViewCell

here newsDetails is xib file name.

TextView - setting the text size programmatically doesn't seem to work

In My Case Used this Method:

public static float pxFromDp(float dp, Context mContext) {
    return dp * mContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}

Here Set TextView's TextSize Programatically :

textView.setTextSize(pxFromDp(18, YourActivity.this));

Keep Enjoying:)

Count length of array and return 1 if it only contains one element

Maybe I am missing something (lots of many-upvotes-members answers here that seem to be looking at this different to I, which would seem implausible that I am correct), but length is not the correct terminology for counting something. Length is usually used to obtain what you are getting, and not what you are wanting.

$cars.count should give you what you seem to be looking for.

Split comma separated column data into additional columns

split_part() does what you want in one step:

SELECT split_part(col, ',', 1) AS col1
     , split_part(col, ',', 2) AS col2
     , split_part(col, ',', 3) AS col3
     , split_part(col, ',', 4) AS col4
FROM   tbl;

Add as many lines as you have items in col (the possible maximum). Columns exceeding data items will be empty strings ('').

What exactly is "exit" in PowerShell?

It's a reserved keyword (like return, filter, function, break).

Reference

Also, as per Section 7.6.4 of Bruce Payette's Powershell in Action:

But what happens when you want a script to exit from within a function defined in that script? ... To make this easier, Powershell has the exit keyword.

Of course, as other have pointed out, it's not hard to do what you want by wrapping exit in a function:

PS C:\> function ex{exit}
PS C:\> new-alias ^D ex

In reactJS, how to copy text to clipboard?

    document.execCommand('copy')
    this.setState({'copy':"Copied"});
    textField.remove()
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.setState({'copy':""});
    }, 1000);
 }

 <span   className="cursor-pointer ml-1" onClick={()=> this.copyclip(passTextFromHere)} >Copy</span> <small>{this.state.copy}</small>

Choosing the default value of an Enum type without having to change values

If zero doesn't work as the proper default value, you can use the component model to define a workaround for the enum:

[DefaultValue(None)]
public enum Orientation
{
     None = -1,
     North = 0,
     East = 1,
     South = 2,
     West = 3
 }

public static class Utilities
{
    public static TEnum GetDefaultValue<TEnum>() where TEnum : struct
    {
        Type t = typeof(TEnum);
        DefaultValueAttribute[] attributes = (DefaultValueAttribute[])t.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DefaultValueAttribute), false);
        if (attributes != null &&
            attributes.Length > 0)
        {
            return (TEnum)attributes[0].Value;
        }
        else
        {
            return default(TEnum);
        }
    }
}

and then you can call:

Orientation o = Utilities.GetDefaultValue<Orientation>();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(o.ToString());

Note: you will need to include the following line at the top of the file:

using System.ComponentModel;

This does not change the actual C# language default value of the enum, but gives a way to indicate (and get) the desired default value.

How do include paths work in Visual Studio?

@RichieHindle solution is now deprecated as of Visual Studio 2012. As the VS studio prompt now states:

VC++ Directories are now available as a user property sheet that is added by default to all projects.

To set an include path you now must right-click a project and go to:

Properties/VC++ Directories/General/Include Directories

.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system

The problem is that the execution policy is set on a per user basis. You'll need to run the following command in your application every time you run it to enable it to work:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

There probably is a way to set this for the ASP.NET user as well, but this way means that you're not opening up your whole system, just your application.

IIS Express Windows Authentication

On the same note - VS 2015, .vs\config\applicationhost.config not visible or not available.

By default .vs folder is hidden (at least in my case).

If you are not able to find the .vs folder, follow the below steps.

  1. Right click on the Solution folder
  2. select 'Properties'
  3. In Attributes section, click Hidden check box(default unchecked),
  4. then click the 'Apply' button
  5. It will show up confirmation window 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolder and files' option selected, hit 'Ok'.

    Repeat step 1 to 5, except on step 3, this time you need to uncheck the 'Hidden' option that you checked previously.

Now should be able to see .vs folder.

What is the proper REST response code for a valid request but an empty data?

Why not use 410? It suggests the requested resource no longer exists and the client is expected to never make a request for that resource, in your case users/9.

You can find more details about 410 here: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Css pseudo classes input:not(disabled)not:[type="submit"]:focus

Instead of:

input:not(disabled)not:[type="submit"]:focus {}

Use:

input:not([disabled]):not([type="submit"]):focus {}

disabled is an attribute so it needs the brackets, and you seem to have mixed up/missing colons and parentheses on the :not() selector.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/HSKPx/

One thing to note: I may be wrong, but I don't think disabled inputs can normally receive focus, so that part may be redundant.

Alternatively, use :enabled

input:enabled:not([type="submit"]):focus { /* styles here */ }

Again, I can't think of a case where disabled input can receive focus, so it seems unnecessary.
