Pythonic way of checking if a condition holds for any element of a list

Python has a built in any() function for exactly this purpose.

How can I turn a DataTable to a CSV?

I wrapped this up into an extension class, which allows you to call:

myDataTable.WriteToCsvFile("C:\\MyDataTable.csv");

on any DataTable.

public static class DataTableExtensions 
{
    public static void WriteToCsvFile(this DataTable dataTable, string filePath) 
    {
        StringBuilder fileContent = new StringBuilder();

        foreach (var col in dataTable.Columns) 
        {
            fileContent.Append(col.ToString() + ",");
        }

        fileContent.Replace(",", System.Environment.NewLine, fileContent.Length - 1, 1);

        foreach (DataRow dr in dataTable.Rows) 
        {
            foreach (var column in dr.ItemArray) 
            {
                fileContent.Append("\"" + column.ToString() + "\",");
            }

            fileContent.Replace(",", System.Environment.NewLine, fileContent.Length - 1, 1);
        }

        System.IO.File.WriteAllText(filePath, fileContent.ToString());
    }
}

Images can't contain alpha channels or transparencies

How can I get the file name from request.FILES?

request.FILES['filename'].name

From the request documentation.

If you don't know the key, you can iterate over the files:

for filename, file in request.FILES.iteritems():
    name = request.FILES[filename].name

maxFileSize and acceptFileTypes in blueimp file upload plugin do not work. Why?

If you've got all the plugin JS's imported and in the correct order, but you're still having issues, it seems that specifying your own "add" handler nerfs the one from the *-validate.js plugin, which normally would fire off all the validation by calling data.process(). So to fix it just do something like this in your "add" event handler:

$('#whatever').fileupload({
...
add: function(e, data) {
   var $this = $(this);
   data.process(function() {
      return $this.fileupload('process', data);
   }).done(function(){
      //do success stuff
      data.submit(); <-- fire off the upload to the server
   }).fail(function() {
      alert(data.files[0].error);
   });
}
...
});

How to get a value from a Pandas DataFrame and not the index and object type

df[df.Letters=='C'].Letters.item()

This returns the first element in the Index/Series returned from that selection. In this case, the value is always the first element.

EDIT:

Or you can run a loc() and access the first element that way. This was shorter and is the way I have implemented it in the past.

Export javascript data to CSV file without server interaction

There's always the HTML5 download attribute :

This attribute, if present, indicates that the author intends the hyperlink to be used for downloading a resource so that when the user clicks on the link they will be prompted to save it as a local file.

If the attribute has a value, the value will be used as the pre-filled file name in the Save prompt that opens when the user clicks on the link.

var A = [['n','sqrt(n)']];

for(var j=1; j<10; ++j){ 
    A.push([j, Math.sqrt(j)]);
}

var csvRows = [];

for(var i=0, l=A.length; i<l; ++i){
    csvRows.push(A[i].join(','));
}

var csvString = csvRows.join("%0A");
var a         = document.createElement('a');
a.href        = 'data:attachment/csv,' +  encodeURIComponent(csvString);
a.target      = '_blank';
a.download    = 'myFile.csv';

document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();

FIDDLE

Tested in Chrome and Firefox, works fine in the newest versions (as of July 2013).
Works in Opera as well, but does not set the filename (as of July 2013).
Does not seem to work in IE9 (big suprise) (as of July 2013).

An overview over what browsers support the download attribute can be found Here
For non-supporting browsers, one has to set the appropriate headers on the serverside.


Apparently there is a hack for IE10 and IE11, which doesn't support the download attribute (Edge does however).

var A = [['n','sqrt(n)']];

for(var j=1; j<10; ++j){ 
    A.push([j, Math.sqrt(j)]);
}

var csvRows = [];

for(var i=0, l=A.length; i<l; ++i){
    csvRows.push(A[i].join(','));
}

var csvString = csvRows.join("%0A");

if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
    var blob = new Blob([csvString]);
    window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, 'myFile.csv');
} else {
    var a         = document.createElement('a');
    a.href        = 'data:attachment/csv,' +  encodeURIComponent(csvString);
    a.target      = '_blank';
    a.download    = 'myFile.csv';
    document.body.appendChild(a);
    a.click();

How to create jobs in SQL Server Express edition

The functionality of creating SQL Agent Jobs is not available in SQL Server Express Edition. An alternative is to execute a batch file that executes a SQL script using Windows Task Scheduler.

In order to do this first create a batch file named sqljob.bat

sqlcmd -S servername -U username -P password -i <path of sqljob.sql>

Replace the servername, username, password and path with yours.

Then create the SQL Script file named sqljob.sql

USE [databasename]
--T-SQL commands go here
GO

Replace the [databasename] with your database name. The USE and GO is necessary when you write the SQL script.

sqlcmd is a command-line utility to execute SQL scripts. After creating these two files execute the batch file using Windows Task Scheduler.

NB: An almost same answer was posted for this question before. But I felt it was incomplete as it didn't specify about login information using sqlcmd.

Get the latest date from grouped MySQL data

Using max(date) didn't solve my problem as there is no assurance that other columns will be from the same row as the max(date) is. Instead of that this one solved my problem and sorted group by in a correct order and values of other columns are from the same row as the max date is:

SELECT model, date 
FROM (SELECT * FROM doc ORDER BY date DESC) as sortedTable
GROUP BY model

How can I output a UTF-8 CSV in PHP that Excel will read properly?

How do I access store state in React Redux?

If you want to do some high-powered debugging, you can subscribe to every change of the state and pause the app to see what's going on in detail as follows.

store.js
store.subscribe( () => {
  console.log('state\n', store.getState());
  debugger;
});

Place that in the file where you do createStore.

To copy the state object from the console to the clipboard, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click an object in Chrome's console and select Store as Global Variable from the context menu. It will return something like temp1 as the variable name.

  2. Chrome also has a copy() method, so copy(temp1) in the console should copy that object to your clipboard.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/25140576

https://scottwhittaker.net/chrome-devtools/2016/02/29/chrome-devtools-copy-object.html

You can view the object in a json viewer like this one: http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/

You can compare two json objects here: http://www.jsondiff.com/

Returning Promises from Vuex actions

TL:DR; return promises from you actions only when necessary, but DRY chaining the same actions.

For a long time I also though that returning actions contradicts the Vuex cycle of uni-directional data flow.

But, there are EDGE CASES where returning a promise from your actions might be "necessary".

Imagine a situation where an action can be triggered from 2 different components, and each handles the failure case differently. In that case, one would need to pass the caller component as a parameter to set different flags in the store.

Dumb example

Page where the user can edit the username in navbar and in /profile page (which contains the navbar). Both trigger an action "change username", which is asynchronous. If the promise fails, the page should only display an error in the component the user was trying to change the username from.

Of course it is a dumb example, but I don't see a way to solve this issue without duplicating code and making the same call in 2 different actions.

This view is not constrained vertically. At runtime it will jump to the left unless you add a vertical constraint

You need to drag the EditText from the edge of the layout and not just the other widget. You can also add constraints by just dragging the constraint point that surrounds the widget to the edge of the screen to add constraints as specified.

The modified code will look something similar to this:

    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/router_text"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_marginTop="320dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.29" 

Python progression path - From apprentice to guru

Understand Introspection

  • write a dir() equivalent
  • write a type() equivalent
  • figure out how to "monkey-patch"
  • use the dis module to see how various language constructs work

Doing these things will

  • give you some good theoretical knowledge about how python is implemented
  • give you some good practical experience in lower-level programming
  • give you a good intuitive feel for python data structures

How do I list all the columns in a table?

SQL Server

SELECT 
    c.name 
FROM
    sys.objects o
INNER JOIN
    sys.columns c
ON
    c.object_id = o.object_id
AND o.name = 'Table_Name'

or

SELECT 
    COLUMN_NAME 
FROM 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE 
    TABLE_NAME  = 'Table_Name'

The second way is an ANSI standard and therefore should work on all ANSI compliant databases.

String concatenation with Groovy

How to get text box value in JavaScript

You Need to change your code as below:-

<form align="center" method=post>
    <input id="mainText" type="text" align="center"placeholder="Search">

    <input type="submit" onclick="myFunction()" style="position: absolute; left: 450px"/>
</form>
</div>

function myFunction(){
    $a= document.getElementById("mainText").value;
    alert($a);
        }
</script>
</body>

How to create a Multidimensional ArrayList in Java?

ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> array = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();

Depending on your requirements, you might use a Generic class like the one below to make access easier:

import java.util.ArrayList;

class TwoDimentionalArrayList<T> extends ArrayList<ArrayList<T>> {
    public void addToInnerArray(int index, T element) {
        while (index >= this.size()) {
            this.add(new ArrayList<T>());
        }
        this.get(index).add(element);
    }

    public void addToInnerArray(int index, int index2, T element) {
        while (index >= this.size()) {
            this.add(new ArrayList<T>());
        }

        ArrayList<T> inner = this.get(index);
        while (index2 >= inner.size()) {
            inner.add(null);
        }

        inner.set(index2, element);
    }
}

Ignore python multiple return value

Remember, when you return more than one item, you're really returning a tuple. So you can do things like this:

def func():
    return 1, 2

print func()[0] # prints 1
print func()[1] # prints 2

Using CMake to generate Visual Studio C++ project files

CMake is actually pretty good for this. The key part was everyone on the Windows side has to remember to run CMake before loading in the solution, and everyone on our Mac side would have to remember to run it before make.

The hardest part was as a Windows developer making sure your structural changes were in the cmakelist.txt file and not in the solution or project files as those changes would probably get lost and even if not lost would not get transferred over to the Mac side who also needed them, and the Mac guys would need to remember not to modify the make file for the same reasons.

It just requires a little thought and patience, but there will be mistakes at first. But if you are using continuous integration on both sides then these will get shook out early, and people will eventually get in the habit.

How to import component into another root component in Angular 2

You should declare it with declarations array(meta property) of @NgModule as shown below (RC5 and later),

import {CoursesComponent} from './courses.component';

  declarations: [ AppComponent,CoursesComponent],  //<----here
  providers:    [],      
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})

What is ToString("N0") format?

Checkout the following article on MSDN about examples of the N format. This is also covered in the Standard Numeric Format Strings article.

Relevant excerpts:

//       Formatting of 1054.32179:
//          N:                     1,054.32 
//          N0:                    1,054 
//          N1:                    1,054.3 
//          N2:                    1,054.32 
//          N3:                    1,054.322 

When precision specifier controls the number of fractional digits in the result string, the result string reflects a number that is rounded to a representable result nearest to the infinitely precise result. If there are two equally near representable results:

  • On the .NET Framework and .NET Core up to .NET Core 2.0, the runtime selects the result with the greater least significant digit (that is, using MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero).
  • On .NET Core 2.1 and later, the runtime selects the result with an even least significant digit (that is, using MidpointRounding.ToEven).

Update multiple rows in same query using PostgreSQL

Let's say you have an array of IDs and equivalent array of statuses - here is an example how to do this with a static SQL (a sql query that doesn't change due to different values) of the arrays :

drop table if exists results_dummy;
create table results_dummy (id int, status text, created_at timestamp default now(), updated_at timestamp default now());
-- populate table with dummy rows
insert into results_dummy
(id, status)
select unnest(array[1,2,3,4,5]::int[]) as id, unnest(array['a','b','c','d','e']::text[]) as status;

select * from results_dummy;

-- THE update of multiple rows with/by different values
update results_dummy as rd
set    status=new.status, updated_at=now()
from (select unnest(array[1,2,5]::int[]) as id,unnest(array['a`','b`','e`']::text[]) as status) as new
where rd.id=new.id;

select * from results_dummy;

-- in code using **IDs** as first bind variable and **statuses** as the second bind variable:
update results_dummy as rd
set    status=new.status, updated_at=now()
from (select unnest(:1::int[]) as id,unnest(:2::text[]) as status) as new
where rd.id=new.id;

Eclipse "cannot find the tag library descriptor" for custom tags (not JSTL!)

I fixed this problem today.

  • Change your output directory to your WEB-INF/classes folder. (Project/Properties/Java Build Path, Default output folder)
  • Assigne the module dependencies. (Project/Properties/Java EE Module Dependencies) they will be copied to the WEB-INF/lib folder where Eclipse looks for the tag lib definitions too.

I hope it helps.

Is there a Boolean data type in Microsoft SQL Server like there is in MySQL?

You are looking for a bit. It stores 1 or 0 (or NULL).

Alternatively, you could use the strings 'true' and 'false' in place of 1 or 0, like so-

declare @b1 bit = 'false'
print @b1                    --prints 0

declare @b2 bit = 'true'
print @b2                    --prints 1

Also, any non 0 value (either positive or negative) evaluates to (or converts to in some cases) a 1.

declare @i int = -42
print cast(@i as bit)    --will print 1, because @i is not 0

Note that SQL Server uses three valued logic (true, false, and NULL), since NULL is a possible value of the bit data type. Here are the relevant truth tables -

enter image description here

Switch android x86 screen resolution

Verified the following on Virtualbox-5.0.24, Android_x86-4.4-r5. You get a screen similar to an 8" table.

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/LICENSE'

Basically when gradle puts together the apk file, it copies content from all the compile dependencies, It is intelligent enough to see that there is a duplicate file..coming from two different jar files. This could be any file like a.txt or META-INF/DEPENDENCIES. It might be best to exclude these files using the below, in case the file is present there only for informational purposes.

Or if in case, the file is a mandatory file like a class file, that has been duplicated across two jar dependencies that are related to each other, it is best to find alternatives to these jars, in the way of a more compatible version.

How to swap two variables in JavaScript

It's very simple, use the ES6 array destructuring syntax which is [y, x] = [x, y] for more information consult this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Destructuring_assignment

Exiting from python Command Line

If you stuck in python command line and none of above solutions worked for you, try exit(2)

The CodeDom provider type "Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider" could not be located

The exception that we ran into was not on the local but on the remote server, the Azure CI was reading it from the packages folder but the compiler versions mentioned above were not found.

To fix this we modified the project file to make it something like

It is not referencing any of the packages here directly referencing the environment variables.

This fixed the issue, however in our cases we don't use packages directly from "package.config" instead we have a separate folder to maintain version integrity across teams.

WCF, Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive could not be found

I practically solved the same issue . Here is my suggestion -- The error means that the object referenced in the Service attribute is not found. For the object to be found, the application or library must build output to the bin folder.

You can edit property page of the application and specify the output path to 'bin'.

Android: how to handle button click

Option 1 and 2 involves using inner class that will make the code kind of clutter. Option 2 is sort of messy because there will be one listener for every button. If you have small number of button, this is okay. For option 4 I think this will be harder to debug as you will have to go back and fourth the xml and java code. I personally use option 3 when I have to handle multiple button clicks.

How to generate a random number between 0 and 1?

In your version rand() % 10000 will yield an integer between 0 and 9999. Since RAND_MAX may be as little as 32767, and since this is not exactly divisible by 10000 and not large relative to 10000, there will be significant bias in the 'randomness' of the result, moreover, the maximum value will be 0.9999, not 1.0, and you have unnecessarily restricted your values to four decimal places.

It is simple arithmetic, a random number divided by the maximum possible random number will yield a number from 0 to 1 inclusive, while utilising the full resolution and distribution of the RNG

double r2()
{
    return (double)rand() / (double)RAND_MAX ;
}

Use (double)rand() / (double)((unsigned)RAND_MAX + 1) if exclusion of 1.0 was intentional.

How to determine if a number is positive or negative?

If you are allowed to use "==" as seems to be the case, you can do something like that taking advantage of the fact that an exception will be raised if an array index is out of bounds. The code is for double, but you can cast any numeric type to a double (here the eventual loss of precision would not be important at all).

I have added comments to explain the process (bring the value in ]-2.0; -1.0] union [1.0; 2.0[) and a small test driver as well.

class T {

   public static boolean positive(double f)
   {
       final boolean pos0[] = {true};
       final boolean posn[] = {false, true};

       if (f == 0.0)
           return true;

       while (true) {

           // If f is in ]-1.0; 1.0[, multiply it by 2 and restart.
           try {
               if (pos0[(int) f]) {
                   f *= 2.0;
                   continue;
               }
           } catch (Exception e) {
           }

           // If f is in ]-2.0; -1.0] U [1.0; 2.0[, return the proper answer.
           try {
               return posn[(int) ((f+1.5)/2)];
           } catch (Exception e) {
           }

           // f is outside ]-2.0; 2.0[, divide by 2 and restart.
           f /= 2.0;

       }

   }

   static void check(double f)
   {
       System.out.println(f + " -> " + positive(f));
   }

   public static void main(String args[])
   {
       for (double i = -10.0; i <= 10.0; i++)
           check(i);
       check(-1e24);
       check(-1e-24);
       check(1e-24);
       check(1e24);
   }

The output is:

-10.0 -> false
-9.0 -> false
-8.0 -> false
-7.0 -> false
-6.0 -> false
-5.0 -> false
-4.0 -> false
-3.0 -> false

Excel CSV - Number cell format

This has been driving me crazy all day (since indeed you can't control the Excel column types before opening the CSV file), and this worked for me, using VB.NET and Excel Interop:

        'Convert .csv file to .txt file.
        FileName = ConvertToText(FileName)

        Dim ColumnTypes(,) As Integer = New Integer(,) {{1, xlTextFormat}, _
                                                        {2, xlTextFormat}, _
                                                        {3, xlGeneralFormat}, _
                                                        {4, xlGeneralFormat}, _
                                                        {5, xlGeneralFormat}, _
                                                        {6, xlGeneralFormat}}

        'We are using OpenText() in order to specify the column types.
        mxlApp.Workbooks.OpenText(FileName, , , Excel.XlTextParsingType.xlDelimited, , , True, , True, , , , ColumnTypes)
        mxlWorkBook = mxlApp.ActiveWorkbook
        mxlWorkSheet = CType(mxlApp.ActiveSheet, Excel.Worksheet)


Private Function ConvertToText(ByVal FileName As String) As String
    'Convert the .csv file to a .txt file.
    'If the file is a text file, we can specify the column types.
    'Otherwise, the Codes are first converted to numbers, which loses trailing zeros.

    Try
        Dim MyReader As New StreamReader(FileName)
        Dim NewFileName As String = FileName.Replace(".CSV", ".TXT")
        Dim MyWriter As New StreamWriter(NewFileName, False)
        Dim strLine As String

        Do While Not MyReader.EndOfStream
            strLine = MyReader.ReadLine
            MyWriter.WriteLine(strLine)
        Loop

        MyReader.Close()
        MyReader.Dispose()
        MyWriter.Close()
        MyWriter.Dispose()

        Return NewFileName
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
        Return ""

CodeIgniter - Correct way to link to another page in a view

I assume you are meaning "internally" within your application.

you can create your own <a> tag and insert a url in the href like this

<a href="<?php echo site_url('controller/function/uri') ?>">Link</a>

OR you can use the URL helper this way to generate an <a> tag

anchor(uri segments, text, attributes)

So... to use it...

<?php echo anchor('controller/function/uri', 'Link', 'class="link-class"') ?>

and that will generate

<a href="http://domain.com/index.php/controller/function/uri" class="link-class">Link</a>

For the additional commented question

I would use my first example

so...

<a href="<?php echo site_url('controller/function') ?>"><img src="<?php echo base_url() ?>img/path/file.jpg" /></a>

for images (and other assets) I wouldn't put the file path within the php, I would just echo the base_url() and then add the path normally.

Get an OutputStream into a String

This worked nicely

OutputStream output = new OutputStream() {
    private StringBuilder string = new StringBuilder();

    @Override
    public void write(int b) throws IOException {
        this.string.append((char) b );
    }

    //Netbeans IDE automatically overrides this toString()
    public String toString() {
        return this.string.toString();
    }
};

method call =>> marshaller.marshal( (Object) toWrite , (OutputStream) output);

then to print the string or get it just reference the "output" stream itself As an example, to print the string out to console =>> System.out.println(output);

FYI: my method call marshaller.marshal(Object,Outputstream) is for working with XML. It is irrelevant to this topic.

This is highly wasteful for productional use, there is a way too many conversion and it is a bit loose. This was just coded to prove to you that it is totally possible to create a custom OuputStream and output a string. But just go Horcrux7 way and all is good with merely two method calls.

And the world lives on another day....

Creating a class object in c++

1) What is the difference between both the way of creating class objects.

a) pointer

Example* example=new Example();
// you get a pointer, and when you finish it use, you have to delete it:

delete example;

b) Simple declaration

Example example;

you get a variable, not a pointer, and it will be destroyed out of scope it was declared.

2) Singleton C++

How to check if a registry value exists using C#?

        internal static Func<string, string, bool> regKey = delegate (string KeyLocation, string Value)
        {
            // get registry key with Microsoft.Win32.Registrys
            RegistryKey rk = (RegistryKey)Registry.GetValue(KeyLocation, Value, null); // KeyLocation and Value variables from method, null object because no default value is present. Must be casted to RegistryKey because method returns object.
            if ((rk) == null) // if the RegistryKey is null which means it does not exist
            {
                // the key does not exist
                return false; // return false because it does not exist
            }
            // the registry key does exist
            return true; // return true because it does exist
        };

usage:

        // usage:
        /* Create Key - while (loading)
        {
            RegistryKey k;
            k = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("stuff");

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete

Here is what made the error disappear for me:

Close eclipse, open up a terminal window and run:

$ mvn clean eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

Are you using Maven? If so,

  1. Right-click on the project, Build Path and go to Configure Build Path
  2. Click the libraries tab. If Maven dependencies are not in the list, you need to add it.
  3. Close the dialog.

To add it: Right-click on the project, Maven → Disable Maven Nature Right-click on the project, Configure → Convert to Maven Project.

And then clean

Edit 1:

If that doesn't resolve the issue try right-clicking on your project and select properties. Select Java Build Path → Library tab. Look for a JVM. If it's not there, click to add Library and add the default JVM. If VM is there, click edit and select the default JVM. Hopefully, that works.

Edit 2:

You can also try going into the folder where you have all your projects and delete the .metadata for eclipse (be aware that you'll have to re-import all the projects afterwards! Also all the environment settings you've set would also have to be redone). After it was deleted just import the project again, and hopefully, it works.

Delete all files in directory (but not directory) - one liner solution

I think this will work (based on NonlinearFruit previous answer):

Files.walk(Paths.get("C:/test/ABC/"))
                .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder())
                .map(Path::toFile)
                .filter(item -> !item.getPath().equals("C:/test/ABC/"))
                .forEach(File::delete);

Cheers!

How to get html to print return value of javascript function?

It depends what you're going for. I believe the closest thing JS has to print is:

document.write( produceMessage() );

However, it may be more prudent to place the value inside a span or a div of your choosing like:

document.getElementById("mySpanId").innerHTML = produceMessage();

copying all contents of folder to another folder using batch file?

RoboCopy did not work for me, and there are some good solutions here, but none explained the XCopy switches and what they do. Also you need quotes in case your path has spaces in it.

xcopy /i /e "C:\temp\folder 1" "C:\temp\folder 2"

Here is the documentation from Microsoft:

XCopy MS Documentation

/s: Specifies to include subdirectories. Excludes empty subdirectories
/e: Copies all subdirectories, even if they are empty
/i: specifies the destination is a folder (Otherwise it prompts you)

How to fix Python indentation

Use the reindent.py script that you find in the Tools/scripts/ directory of your Python installation:

Change Python (.py) files to use 4-space indents and no hard tab characters. Also trim excess spaces and tabs from ends of lines, and remove empty lines at the end of files. Also ensure the last line ends with a newline.

Have a look at that script for detailed usage instructions.

How do I call Objective-C code from Swift?

Swift consumer, Objective-C producer

  1. Add a new header .h and Implementation .m files - Cocoa class file(Objective-C)
    For example MyFileName.

  2. configure bridging header
    When you see Would you like to configure an Objective-C bridging header click - Yes

  • <target_name>-Bridging-Header.h will be generated automatically
  • Build Settings -> Objective-C Bridging Header
  1. Add Class to Bridging-Header
    In <target_name>-Bridging-Header.h add a line #import "<MyFileName>.h"

After that you are able to use MyFileName from Objective-C in Swift

P.S. If you should add an existing Objective-C file into Swift project add Bridging-Header.h beforehand and import it

Objective-C consumer, Swift producer

  1. Add a <MyFileName>.swift and extends NSObject

  2. Import Swift Files to ObjC Class
    Add #import "<target_name>-Swift.h" into your Objective-C file

  3. Expose public Swift code by @objc [@objc and @objcMembers]

After that you are able to use Swift in Objective-C

Conclusion

Using this approach you can use both Swift and Objective-C codebase in the same project

Calling Non-Static Method In Static Method In Java

public class StaticMethod{

    public static void main(String []args)throws Exception{
        methodOne();
    }

    public int methodOne(){
        System.out.println("we are in first methodOne");
        return 1;
    }
}

the above code not executed because static method must have that class reference.

public class StaticMethod{
    public static void main(String []args)throws Exception{

        StaticMethod sm=new StaticMethod();
        sm.methodOne();
    }

    public int methodOne(){
        System.out.println("we are in first methodOne");
        return 1;
    }
}

This will be definitely get executed. Because here we are creating reference which nothing but "sm" by using that reference of that class which is nothing but (StaticMethod=new Static method()) we are calling method one (sm.methodOne()).

I hope this will be helpful.

Use pip install --no-index --find-links . <package1 package2 package n> to install all the packages including dependencies. It gets all the files from CWD. It will not download anything

PHP - Get array value with a numeric index

Yes, for scalar values, a combination of implode and array_slice will do:

$bar = implode(array_slice($array, 0, 1));
$bin = implode(array_slice($array, 1, 1));
$ipsum = implode(array_slice($array, 2, 1));

Or mix it up with array_values and list (thanks @nikic) so that it works with all types of values:

list($bar) = array_values(array_slice($array, 0, 1));

Pass Hidden parameters using response.sendRedirect()

TheNewIdiot's answer successfully explains the problem and the reason why you can't send attributes in request through a redirect. Possible solutions:

  1. Using forwarding. This will enable that request attributes could be passed to the view and you can use them in form of ServletRequest#getAttribute or by using Expression Language and JSTL. Short example (reusing TheNewIdiot's answer] code).

    Controller (your servlet)

    request.setAttribute("message", "Hello world");
    RequestDispatcher dispatcher = servletContext().getRequestDispatcher(url);
    dispatcher.forward(request, response);
    

    View (your JSP)

    Using scriptlets:

    <%
        out.println(request.getAttribute("message"));
    %>
    

    This is just for information purposes. Scriptlets usage must be avoided: How to avoid Java code in JSP files?. Below there is the example using EL and JSTL.

    <c:out value="${message}" />
    
  2. If you can't use forwarding (because you don't like it or you don't feel it that way or because you must use a redirect) then an option would be saving a message as a session attribute, then redirect to your view, recover the session attribute in your view and remove it from session. Remember to always have your user session with only relevant data. Code example

    Controller

    //if request is not from HttpServletRequest, you should do a typecast before
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
    //save message in session
    session.setAttribute("helloWorld", "Hello world");
    response.sendRedirect("/content/test.jsp");
    

    View

    Again, showing this using scriptlets and then EL + JSTL:

    <%
        out.println(session.getAttribute("message"));
        session.removeAttribute("message");
    %>
    
    <c:out value="${sessionScope.message}" />
    <c:remove var="message" scope="session" />
    

How to get screen width and height

Try via context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics() if you have a context available.

How can I debug what is causing a connection refused or a connection time out?

Use a packet analyzer to intercept the packets to/from somewhere.com. Studying those packets should tell you what is going on.

Time-outs or connections refused could mean that the remote host is too busy.

What is "pom" packaging in maven?

Packaging of pom is used in projects that aggregate other projects, and in projects whose only useful output is an attached artifact from some plugin. In your case, I'd guess that your top-level pom includes <modules>...</modules> to aggregate other directories, and the actual output is the result of one of the other (probably sub-) directories. It will, if coded sensibly for this purpose, have a packaging of war.

Declaring multiple variables in JavaScript

I think the first way (multiple variables) is best, as you can otherwise end up with this (from an application that uses KnockoutJS), which is difficult to read in my opinion:

    var categories = ko.observableArray(),
        keywordFilter = ko.observableArray(),
        omniFilter = ko.observable('').extend({ throttle: 300 }),
        filteredCategories = ko.computed(function () {
            var underlyingArray = categories();
            return ko.utils.arrayFilter(underlyingArray, function (n) {
                return n.FilteredSportCount() > 0;
            });
        }),
        favoriteSports = ko.computed(function () {
            var sports = ko.observableArray();
            ko.utils.arrayForEach(categories(), function (c) {
                ko.utils.arrayForEach(c.Sports(), function (a) {
                    if (a.IsFavorite()) {
                        sports.push(a);
                    }
                });
            });
            return sports;
        }),
        toggleFavorite = function (sport, userId) {
            var isFavorite = sport.IsFavorite();

            var url = setfavouritesurl;

            var data = {
                userId: userId,
                sportId: sport.Id(),
                isFavourite: !isFavorite
            };

            var callback = function () {
                sport.IsFavorite(!isFavorite);
            };

            jQuery.support.cors = true;
            jQuery.ajax({
                url: url,
                type: "GET",
                data: data,
                success: callback
            });
        },
        hasfavoriteSports = ko.computed(function () {
            var result = false;
            ko.utils.arrayForEach(categories(), function (c) {
                ko.utils.arrayForEach(c.Sports(), function (a) {
                    if (a.IsFavorite()) {
                        result = true;
                    }
                });
            });
            return result;
        });

Responsive dropdown navbar with angular-ui bootstrap (done in the correct angular kind of way)

Not sure if anyone is having the same responsive issue, but it was just a simple css solution for me.

same example

...  ng-init="isCollapsed = true" ng-click="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed"> ...
...  div collapse="isCollapsed"> ...

with

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .collapse{
        display: block !important;
    }
}

How can I iterate through a string and also know the index (current position)?

Like this:


    std::string s("Test string");
    std::string::iterator it = s.begin();

    //Use the iterator...
    ++it;
    //...

    std::cout << "index is: " << std::distance(s.begin(), it) << std::endl;

Change Select List Option background colour on hover in html

No, it's not possible.

It's really, if not use native selects, if you create custom select widget from html elements, t.e. "li".

How do I open the "front camera" on the Android platform?

        mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);

        Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();

How to install plugin for Eclipse from .zip

Seen here. You can unzip and

enter image description here enter image description here

Clicking Local will prefix your location fith file:/C:/etc/folder

You can Click archive instead and select your zip, as suggested in the second popular question. It will prefix with jar://path.zip but it is not accepted by Eclipse itself. So, I used the plain folder solution.

Truncating a table in a stored procedure

try the below code

execute immediate 'truncate table tablename' ;

Javascript: The prettiest way to compare one value against multiple values

What i use to do, is put those multiple values in an array like

var options = [foo, bar];

and then, use indexOf()

if(options.indexOf(foobar) > -1){
   //do something
}

for prettiness:

if([foo, bar].indexOf(foobar) +1){
   //you can't get any more pretty than this :)
}

and for the older browsers:
( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/IndexOf )

if (!Array.prototype.indexOf) {
    Array.prototype.indexOf = function (searchElement /*, fromIndex */ ) {
        "use strict";
        if (this == null) {
            throw new TypeError();
        }
        var t = Object(this);
        var len = t.length >>> 0;
        if (len === 0) {
            return -1;
        }
        var n = 0;
        if (arguments.length > 0) {
            n = Number(arguments[1]);
            if (n != n) { // shortcut for verifying if it's NaN
                n = 0;
            } else if (n != 0 && n != Infinity && n != -Infinity) {
                n = (n > 0 || -1) * Math.floor(Math.abs(n));
            }
        }
        if (n >= len) {
            return -1;
        }
        var k = n >= 0 ? n : Math.max(len - Math.abs(n), 0);
        for (; k < len; k++) {
            if (k in t && t[k] === searchElement) {
                return k;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
}

Getting Serial Port Information

None of the answers here satisfies my needs.

The answer from Muno is wrong because it lists ONLY the USB ports.

The answer from code4life is wrong because it lists all EXCEPT the USB ports. (Nevertheless it has 44 up-votes!!!)

I have an EPSON printer simulation port on my computer which is not listed by any of the answers here. So I had to write my own solution. Additionally I want to display more information than just the caption string. I also need to separate the port name from the description.

My code has been tested on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10.

The Port Name (like "COM1") must be read from the registry because WMI does not give this information for all COM ports (EPSON).

If you use my code you do not need SerialPort.GetPortNames() anymore. My function returns the same ports, but with additional details. Why did Microsoft not implement such a function into the framework??

using System.Management;
using Microsoft.Win32;

using (ManagementClass i_Entity = new ManagementClass("Win32_PnPEntity"))
{
    foreach (ManagementObject i_Inst in i_Entity.GetInstances())
    {
        Object o_Guid = i_Inst.GetPropertyValue("ClassGuid");
        if (o_Guid == null || o_Guid.ToString().ToUpper() != "{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}")
            continue; // Skip all devices except device class "PORTS"

        String s_Caption  = i_Inst.GetPropertyValue("Caption")     .ToString();
        String s_Manufact = i_Inst.GetPropertyValue("Manufacturer").ToString();
        String s_DeviceID = i_Inst.GetPropertyValue("PnpDeviceID") .ToString();
        String s_RegPath  = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Enum\\" + s_DeviceID + "\\Device Parameters";
        String s_PortName = Registry.GetValue(s_RegPath, "PortName", "").ToString();

        int s32_Pos = s_Caption.IndexOf(" (COM");
        if (s32_Pos > 0) // remove COM port from description
            s_Caption = s_Caption.Substring(0, s32_Pos);

        Console.WriteLine("Port Name:    " + s_PortName);
        Console.WriteLine("Description:  " + s_Caption);
        Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer: " + s_Manufact);
        Console.WriteLine("Device ID:    " + s_DeviceID);
        Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
    }
}

I tested the code with a lot of COM ports. This is the Console output:

Restoring database from .mdf and .ldf files of SQL Server 2008

I have an answer for you Yes, It is possible.

Go to

SQL Server Management Studio > select Database > click on attach

Then select and add .mdf and .ldf file. Click on OK.

MaxLength Attribute not generating client-side validation attributes

<input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-required="Name is required." 
    id="Name1" name="Name" type="text" value="">

$('#Name1').keypress(function () {
    if (this.value.length >= 5) return false;
});

Iterate over array of objects in Typescript

You can use the built-in forEach function for arrays.

Like this:

//this sets all product descriptions to a max length of 10 characters
data.products.forEach( (element) => {
    element.product_desc = element.product_desc.substring(0,10);
});

Your version wasn't wrong though. It should look more like this:

for(let i=0; i<data.products.length; i++){
    console.log(data.products[i].product_desc); //use i instead of 0
}

Java SSLHandshakeException "no cipher suites in common"

For debugging when I start java add like mentioned:

-Djavax.net.debug=ssl

then you can see that the browser tried to use TLSv1 and Jetty 9.1.3 was talking TLSv1.2 so they were not communicating. That's Firefox. Chrome wanted SSLv3 so I added that also.

sslContextFactory.setIncludeProtocols( "TLSv1", "SSLv3" );  <-- Fix
sslContextFactory.setRenegotiationAllowed(true);   <-- added don't know if helps anything.

I did not do most of the other stuff the orig poster did:

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {

or this answer:

KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory
        .getDefaultAlgorithm());

or

.setEnabledCipherSuites

I created one self signed cert like this: (but I added .jks to filename) and read that in my jetty java code. http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-ssl.html

keytool -keystore keystore.jks -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA

Pass a PHP variable value through an HTML form

EDIT: After your comments, I understand that you want to pass variable through your form.

You can do this using hidden field:

<input type='hidden' name='var' value='<?php echo "$var";?>'/> 

In PHP action File:

<?php 
   if(isset($_POST['var'])) $var=$_POST['var'];
?>

Or using sessions: In your first page:

 $_SESSION['var']=$var;

start_session(); should be placed at the beginning of your php page.

In PHP action File:

if(isset($_SESSION['var'])) $var=$_SESSION['var'];

First Answer:

You can also use $GLOBALS :

if (isset($_POST['save_exit']))
{

   echo $GLOBALS['var']; 

}

Check this documentation for more informations.

Python function as a function argument?

a href link for entire div in HTML/CSS

UPDATE 06/10/2014: using div's inside a's is semantically correct in HTML5.

You'll need to choose between the following scenarios:

<a href="http://google.com">
    <div>
        Hello world
    </div>
</a>

which is semantically incorrect, but it will work.

<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://google.com';">
    Hello world
</div>

which is semantically correct but it involves using JS.

<a href="http://google.com">
    <span style="display: block;">
        Hello world
    </span>
</a>

which is semantically correct and works as expected but is not a div any more.

Which version of MVC am I using?

I had this question because there is no MVC5 template in VS 2013. We had to select ASP.NET web application and then choose MVC from the next window.

You can check in the System.Web.Mvc dll's properties like in the below image.

What does 'wb' mean in this code, using Python?

File mode, write and binary. Since you are writing a .jpg file, it looks fine.

But if you supposed to read that jpg file you need to use 'rb'

More info

On Windows, 'b' appended to the mode opens the file in binary mode, so there are also modes like 'rb', 'wb', and 'r+b'. Python on Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files; the end-of-line characters in text files are automatically altered slightly when data is read or written. This behind-the-scenes modification to file data is fine for ASCII text files, but it’ll corrupt binary data like that in JPEG or EXE files.

How to get the filename without the extension from a path in Python?

The other methods don't remove multiple extensions. Some also have problems with filenames that don't have extensions. This snippet deals with both instances and works in both Python 2 and 3. It grabs the basename from the path, splits the value on dots, and returns the first one which is the initial part of the filename.

import os

def get_filename_without_extension(file_path):
    file_basename = os.path.basename(file_path)
    filename_without_extension = file_basename.split('.')[0]
    return filename_without_extension

Here's a set of examples to run:

example_paths = [
    "FileName", 
    "./FileName",
    "../../FileName",
    "FileName.txt", 
    "./FileName.txt.zip.asc",
    "/path/to/some/FileName",
    "/path/to/some/FileName.txt",
    "/path/to/some/FileName.txt.zip.asc"
]

for example_path in example_paths:
    print(get_filename_without_extension(example_path))

In every case, the value printed is:

FileName

Update div with jQuery ajax response html

It's also possible to use jQuery's .load()

$('#submitform').click(function() {
  $('#showresults').load('getinfo.asp #showresults', {
    txtsearch: $('#appendedInputButton').val()
  }, function() {
    // alert('Load was performed.')
    // $('#showresults').slideDown('slow')
  });
});

unlike $.get(), allows us to specify a portion of the remote document to be inserted. This is achieved with a special syntax for the url parameter. If one or more space characters are included in the string, the portion of the string following the first space is assumed to be a jQuery selector that determines the content to be loaded.

We could modify the example above to use only part of the document that is fetched:

$( "#result" ).load( "ajax/test.html #container" );

When this method executes, it retrieves the content of ajax/test.html, but then jQuery parses the returned document to find the element with an ID of container. This element, along with its contents, is inserted into the element with an ID of result, and the rest of the retrieved document is discarded.

PYTHONPATH vs. sys.path

Neither hacking PYTHONPATH nor sys.path is a good idea due to the before mentioned reasons. And for linking the current project into the site-packages folder there is actually a better way than python setup.py develop, as explained here:

pip install --editable path/to/project

If you don't already have a setup.py in your project's root folder, this one is good enough to start with:

from setuptools import setup
setup('project')

Webview load html from assets directory

You are getting the WebView before setting the Content view so the wv is probably null.

public class ViewWeb extends Activity {  
        @Override  
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.webview);  
            WebView wv;  
            wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);  
            wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/aboutcertified.html");   // now it will not fail here
        }  
    }

How to browse localhost on Android device?

I had similar issue but I could not resolve it using static ip address or changing firewall settings. I found a useful utility which can be configured in a minute.

We can host our local web server on cloud for free. On exposing it on cloud we get a different URL which we can use instead of localhost and access the webserver from anywhere.

The utility is ngrok https://ngrok.com/download Steps:

  1. Signup
  2. Download
  3. Extract the file and double click to run it, this will open a command prompt
  4. Type "ngrok.exe http 80" without quotes to host for example XAMPP apache server which runs on port 80.
  5. Copy the new url name generated on the cmd prompt for e.g. if it is like this "fafb42f.ngrok.io"

URL like : http://localhost/php/test.php Should be modified like this : http://fafb42f.ngrok.io/php/test.php

Now this URL can be accessed from phone.

Detecting attribute change of value of an attribute I made

There is this extensions that adds an event listener to attribute changes.

Usage:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/meetselva/attrchange/master/js/attrchange.js"></script>

Bind attrchange handler function to selected elements

$(selector).attrchange({
    trackValues: true, /* Default to false, if set to true the event object is 
                updated with old and new value.*/
    callback: function (event) { 
        //event               - event object
        //event.attributeName - Name of the attribute modified
        //event.oldValue      - Previous value of the modified attribute
        //event.newValue      - New value of the modified attribute
        //Triggered when the selected elements attribute is added/updated/removed
    }

I had a similar issue. I was using jQuery.map but I forgot to use jQuery.map(...).get() at the end to work with a normal array.

Testing javascript with Mocha - how can I use console.log to debug a test?

What Mocha options are you using?

Maybe it is something to do with reporter (-R) or ui (-ui) being used?

console.log(msg);

works fine during my test runs, though sometimes mixed in a little goofy. Presumably due to the async nature of the test run.

Here are the options (mocha.opts) I'm using:

--require should
-R spec
--ui bdd

Hmm..just tested without any mocha.opts and console.log still works.

How to set default Checked in checkbox ReactJS?

this can be done with pure js

              <Form.Group controlId="categoryStatus">
                <Form.Check
                  type="checkbox"
                  label="Category Status Active/In-active"
                  onChange={this.handleChecked}                 
                />
              </Form.Group>

  //Load category to form : to edit
  GetCategoryById(id) {
    this.UpdateId = id
    axios.get('http://localhost:4000/Category/edit/' + id)
      .then(response => {
        this.setState({
          category_name: response.data.category_name,
          category_description: response.data.category_description,
          is_active: response.data.is_active,
        });

        response.data.is_active == 1 ? document.getElementById("categoryStatus").checked = true : document.getElementById("categoryStatus").checked = false;
      })
      .catch(function (error) {
        console.log(error);
      })
  }


Serial Port (RS -232) Connection in C++

For the answer above, the default serial port is

        serialParams.BaudRate = 9600;
        serialParams.ByteSize = 8;
        serialParams.StopBits = TWOSTOPBITS;
        serialParams.Parity = NOPARITY;

What is this: [Ljava.lang.Object;?

If you are here because of the Liquibase error saying:

Caused By: Precondition Error
...
Can't detect type of array [Ljava.lang.Short

and you are using

not {
  indexExists()
}

precondition multiple times, then you are facing an old bug: https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-1342

We can try to execute an above check using bare sqlCheck(Postgres):

SELECT COUNT(i.relname)
FROM
    pg_class t,
    pg_class i,
    pg_index ix
WHERE
    t.oid = ix.indrelid
    and i.oid = ix.indexrelid
    and t.relkind = 'r'
    and t.relname = 'tableName'
    and i.relname = 'indexName';

where tableName - is an index table name and indexName - is an index name

"Error: Main method not found in class MyClass, please define the main method as..."

The problem is that you do not have a public void main(String[] args) method in the class you attempt to invoke.

It

  • must be static
  • must have exactly one String array argument (which may be named anything)
  • must be spelled m-a-i-n in lowercase.

Note, that you HAVE actually specified an existing class (otherwise the error would have been different), but that class lacks the main method.

AWS S3 CLI - Could not connect to the endpoint URL

first you use 'aws configure' then input the access key, and secret key, and the region. the region you input would be important for this problem. try to input something like 's3.us-east-1', not 's3.us-east-1a'. it will solve the issue.

How do I prevent and/or handle a StackOverflowException?

I had a stackoverflow today and i read some of your posts and decided to help out the Garbage Collecter.

I used to have a near infinite loop like this:

    class Foo
    {
        public Foo()
        {
            Go();
        }

        public void Go()
        {
            for (float i = float.MinValue; i < float.MaxValue; i+= 0.000000000000001f)
            {
                byte[] b = new byte[1]; // Causes stackoverflow
            }
        }
    }

Instead let the resource run out of scope like this:

class Foo
{
    public Foo()
    {
        GoHelper();
    }

    public void GoHelper()
    {
        for (float i = float.MinValue; i < float.MaxValue; i+= 0.000000000000001f)
        {
            Go();
        }
    }

    public void Go()
    {
        byte[] b = new byte[1]; // Will get cleaned by GC
    }   // right now
}

It worked for me, hope it helps someone.

Read remote file with node.js (http.get)

function(url,callback){
    request(url).on('data',(data) => {
        try{
            var json = JSON.parse(data);    
        }
        catch(error){
            callback("");
        }
        callback(json);
    })
}

You can also use this. This is to async flow. The error comes when the response is not a JSON. Also in 404 status code .

Resolve host name to an ip address

This is hard to answer without more detail about the network architecture. Some things to investigate are:

  • Is it possible that client and/or server is behind a NAT device, a firewall, or similar?
  • Is any of the IP addresses involved a "local" address, like 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z?
  • What are the host names, are they "real" DNS:able names or something more local and/or Windows-specific?
  • How does the client look up the server? There must be a place in code or config data that holds the host name, simply try using the IP there instead if you want to avoid the lookup.

How to initialize all members of an array to the same value?

Cutting through all the chatter, the short answer is that if you turn on optimization at compile time you won't do better than this:

int i,value=5,array[1000]; 
for(i=0;i<1000;i++) array[i]=value; 

Added bonus: the code is actually legible :)

document.getElementById("remember").visibility = "hidden"; not working on a checkbox

Loading and parsing a JSON file with multiple JSON objects

That is ill-formatted. You have one JSON object per line, but they are not contained in a larger data structure (ie an array). You'll either need to reformat it so that it begins with [ and ends with ] with a comma at the end of each line, or parse it line by line as separate dictionaries.

How to resize Twitter Bootstrap modal dynamically based on the content

I had the same problem with bootstrap 3 and the modal-body div's height not wanting to be greater than 442px. This was all the css needed to fix it in my case:

    overflow-y: auto;
}

Flask-SQLAlchemy how to delete all rows in a single table

DazWorrall's answer is spot on. Here's a variation that might be useful if your code is structured differently than the OP's:

num_rows_deleted = db.session.query(Model).delete()

Also, don't forget that the deletion won't take effect until you commit, as in this snippet:

try:
    num_rows_deleted = db.session.query(Model).delete()
    db.session.commit()
except:
    db.session.rollback()

What is the difference between Nexus and Maven?

This has a good general description: https://gephi.wordpress.com/tag/maven/

Let me make a few statement that can put the difference in focus:

  1. We migrated our code base from Ant to Maven

  2. All 3rd party librairies have been uploaded to Nexus. Maven is using Nexus as a source for libraries.

  3. Basic functionalities of a repository manager like Sonatype are:

    • Managing project dependencies,
    • Artifacts & Metadata,
    • Proxying external repositories
    • and deployment of packaged binaries and JARs to share those artifacts with other developers and end-users.

maxReceivedMessageSize and maxBufferSize in app.config

The currently accepted answer is incorrect. It is NOT required to set maxBufferSize and maxReceivedMessageSize on the client and the server binding. It depends!

If your request is too large (i.e., method parameters of the service operation are memory intensive) set the properties on the server-side, if the response is too large (i.e., the method return value of the service operation is memory intensive) set the values on the client-side.

For the difference between maxBufferSize and maxReceivedMessageSize see MaxBufferSize property?.

How do I make bootstrap table rows clickable?

I show you my example with modal windows...you create your modal and give it an id then In your table you have tr section, just ad the first line you see below (don't forget to set the on the first row like this

<tr onclick="input" data-toggle="modal" href="#the name for my modal windows" >
 <td><label>Some value here</label></td>
</tr>                                                                                                                                                                                   

Return outside function error in Python

It basically occours when you return from a loop you can only return from function

converting string to long in python

Well, longs can't hold anything but integers.

One option is to use a float: float('234.89')

The other option is to truncate or round. Converting from a float to a long will truncate for you: long(float('234.89'))

>>> long(float('1.1'))
1L
>>> long(float('1.9'))
1L
>>> long(round(float('1.1')))
1L
>>> long(round(float('1.9')))
2L

What does /p mean in set /p?

For future reference, you can get help for any command by using the /? switch, which should explain what switches do what.

According to the set /? screen, the format for set /p is SET /P variable=[promptString] which would indicate that the p in /p is "prompt." It just prints in your example because <nul passes in a nul character which immediately ends the prompt so it just acts like it's printing. It's still technically prompting for input, it's just immediately receiving it.

/L in for /L generates a List of numbers.

From ping /?:

Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
            [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
            [-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
    -t             Ping the specified host until stopped.
                   To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
                   To stop - type Control-C.
    -a             Resolve addresses to hostnames.
    -n count       Number of echo requests to send.
    -l size        Send buffer size.
    -f             Set Don't Fragment flag in packet (IPv4-only).
    -i TTL         Time To Live.
    -v TOS         Type Of Service (IPv4-only. This setting has been deprecated
                   and has no effect on the type of service field in the IP Header).
    -r count       Record route for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -s count       Timestamp for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -j host-list   Loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -k host-list   Strict source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
    -R             Use routing header to test reverse route also (IPv6-only).
    -S srcaddr     Source address to use.
    -4             Force using IPv4.
    -6             Force using IPv6.

Change Color of Fonts in DIV (CSS)

Your first CSS selector—social.h2—is looking for the "social" element in the "h2", class, e.g.:

<social class="h2">

Class selectors are proceeded with a dot (.). Also, use a space () to indicate that one element is inside of another. To find an <h2> descendant of an element in the social class, try something like:

.social h2 {
  color: pink;
  font-size: 14px;
}

To get a better understanding of CSS selectors and how they are used to reference your HTML, I suggest going through the interactive HTML and CSS tutorials from CodeAcademy. I hope that this helps point you in the right direction.

How do you send a Firebase Notification to all devices via CURL?

Firebase Notifications doesn't have an API to send messages. Luckily it is built on top of Firebase Cloud Messaging, which has precisely such an API.

With Firebase Notifications and Cloud Messaging, you can send so-called downstream messages to devices in three ways:

  1. to specific devices, if you know their device IDs
  2. to groups of devices, if you know the registration IDs of the groups
  3. to topics, which are just keys that devices can subscribe to

You'll note that there is no way to send to all devices explicitly. You can build such functionality with each of these though, for example: by subscribing the app to a topic when it starts (e.g. /topics/all) or by keeping a list of all device IDs, and then sending the message to all of those.

For sending to a topic you have a syntax error in your command. Topics are identified by starting with /topics/. Since you don't have that in your code, the server interprets allDevices as a device id. Since it is an invalid format for a device registration token, it raises an error.

From the documentation on sending messages to topics:

https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:key=AIzaSyZ-1u...0GBYzPu7Udno5aA

{
  "to": "/topics/foo-bar",
  "data": {
    "message": "This is a Firebase Cloud Messaging Topic Message!",
   }
}

AngularJS access scope from outside js function

we can call it after loaded

http://jsfiddle.net/gentletech/s3qtv/3/

<div id="wrap" ng-controller="Ctrl">
    {{message}}<br>
    {{info}}
    </div>
    <a  onClick="hi()">click me </a>

    function Ctrl($scope) {
        $scope.message = "hi robi";
        $scope.updateMessage = function(_s){
            $scope.message = _s;    
        };
    }

function hi(){
    var scope = angular.element(document.getElementById("wrap")).scope();
        scope.$apply(function() {
        scope.info = "nami";
        scope.updateMessage("i am new fans like nami");
    });
}

Why do we use arrays instead of other data structures?

For O(1) random access, which can not be beaten.

What does !important mean in CSS?

It is used to influence sorting in the CSS cascade when sorting by origin is done. It has nothing to do with specificity like stated here in other answers.

Here is the priority from lowest to highest:

  1. browser styles
  2. user style sheet declarations (without !important)
  3. author style sheet declarations (without !important)
  4. !important author style sheets
  5. !important user style sheets

After that specificity takes place for the rules still having a finger in the pie.

Return in Scala

It's not as simple as just omitting the return keyword. In Scala, if there is no return then the last expression is taken to be the return value. So, if the last expression is what you want to return, then you can omit the return keyword. But if what you want to return is not the last expression, then Scala will not know that you wanted to return it.

An example:

def f() = {
  if (something)
    "A"
  else
    "B"
}

Here the last expression of the function f is an if/else expression that evaluates to a String. Since there is no explicit return marked, Scala will infer that you wanted to return the result of this if/else expression: a String.

Now, if we add something after the if/else expression:

def f() = {
  if (something)
    "A"
  else
    "B"

  if (somethingElse)
    1
  else
    2
}

Now the last expression is an if/else expression that evaluates to an Int. So the return type of f will be Int. If we really wanted it to return the String, then we're in trouble because Scala has no idea that that's what we intended. Thus, we have to fix it by either storing the String to a variable and returning it after the second if/else expression, or by changing the order so that the String part happens last.

Finally, we can avoid the return keyword even with a nested if-else expression like yours:

def f() = {
  if(somethingFirst) {
    if (something)      // Last expression of `if` returns a String
     "A"
    else
     "B"
  }
  else {
    if (somethingElse)
      1
    else
      2

    "C"                // Last expression of `else` returns a String
  }

}

Remove all special characters except space from a string using JavaScript

Try to use this one

var result= stringToReplace.replace(/[^\w\s]/g, '')

[^] is for negation, \w for [a-zA-Z0-9_] word characters and \s for space, /[]/g for global

    return match is not None

How to hide navigation bar permanently in android activity?

It's my solution:

First, define boolean that indicate if navigation bar is visible or not.

boolean navigationBarVisibility = true //because it's visible when activity is created

Second create method that hide navigation bar.

private void setNavigationBarVisibility(boolean visibility){
    if(visibility){
        View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
        int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
        decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
        navigationBarVisibility = false;
    }

    else
        navigationBarVisibility = true;
}

By default, if you click to activity after hide navigation bar, navigation bar will be visible. So we got it's state if it visible we will hide it.

Now set OnClickListener to your view. I use a surfaceview so for me:

    playerSurface.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            setNavigationBarVisibility(navigationBarVisibility);
        }
    });

Also, we must call this method when activity is launched. Because we want hide it at the beginning.

        setNavigationBarVisibility(navigationBarVisibility);

Jmeter - get current date and time

Use ${__time(yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss)} to convert time into a particular timeformat. Here are other formats that you can use:

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss

You can use Z character to get milliseconds too. For example:

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ssZ => 2017-01-25T10:29:00-0700
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' => 2017-01-25T10:28:49.549Z

Most of the time yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' is required in some APIs. It is better to know how to convert time into this format.

Failed to resolve version for org.apache.maven.archetypes

You do need to have a settings.xml linked under user settings (Located in preferences under maven)

But, if that doesn't fix it, like it didn't for many of you. You also have to delete the directory:

then quit eclipse and try again.

This is what solved my problem.

How do I call a function twice or more times consecutively?

I would:

for _ in range(3):
    do()

The _ is convention for a variable whose value you don't care about.

You might also see some people write:

[do() for _ in range(3)]

however that is slightly more expensive because it creates a list containing the return values of each invocation of do() (even if it's None), and then throws away the resulting list. I wouldn't suggest using this unless you are using the list of return values.

Replace values in list using Python

In case you want to replace values in place, you can update your original list with values from a list comprehension by assigning to the whole slice of the original.

data = [*range(11)] # [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
id_before = id(data)
data[:] = [x if x % 2 else None for x in data]
data
# Out: [None, 1, None, 3, None, 5, None, 7, None, 9, None]
id_before == id(data)  # check if list is still the same
# Out: True

If you have multiple names pointing to the original list, for example you wrote data2=data before changing the list and you skip the slice notation for assigning to data, data will rebind to point to the newly created list while data2 still points to the original unchanged list.

data = [*range(11)] # [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
data2 = data
id_before = id(data)
data = [x if x % 2 else None for x in data]  # no [:] here
data
# Out: [None, 1, None, 3, None, 5, None, 7, None, 9, None]
id_before == id(data)  # check if list is still the same
# Out: False
data2
# Out: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Note: This is no recommendation for generally preferring one over the other (changing list in place or not), but behavior you should be aware of.

Get-ChildItem V:\MyFolder -name -recurse *.CopyForbuild.bat > path_to_results_filename.txt

It may be easier to search for the correct file that way.

How to get "GET" request parameters in JavaScript?

Unlike other answers, the UrlSearchParams object can avoid using Regexes or other string manipulation and is available is most modern browsers:

var queryString = location.search
let params = new URLSearchParams(queryString)
// example of retrieving 'id' parameter
let id = parseInt(params.get("id"))
console.log(id)

How to use continue in jQuery each() loop?

return or return false are not the same as continue. If the loop is inside a function the remainder of the function will not execute as you would expect with a true "continue".

After Spring Boot 2.0 migration: jdbcUrl is required with driverClassName

I also read the Spring docs, as lapkritinis suggested - and luckily this brought me on the right path! But I don´t think, that the Spring docs explain this good right now. At least for me, they aren´t consistent IMHO.

The original problem/question is on what to do, if you upgrade an existing Spring Boot 1.5.x application to 2.0.x, which is using PostgreSQL/Hibernate. The main reason, you get your described error, is that Spring Boot 2.0.x uses HikariCP instead of Tomcat JDBC pooling DataSource as a default - and Hikari´s DataSource doesn´t know the spring.datasource.url property, instead it want´s to have spring.datasource.jdbc-url (lapkritinis also pointed that out).

So far so good. BUT the docs also suggest - and that´s the problem here - that Spring Boot uses spring.datasource.url to determine, if the - often locally used - embedded Database like H2 has to back off and instead use a production Database:

You should at least specify the URL by setting the spring.datasource.url property. Otherwise, Spring Boot tries to auto-configure an embedded database.

You may see the dilemma. If you want to have your embedded DataBase like you´re used to, you have to switch back to Tomcat JDBC. This is also much more minimally invasive to existing applications, as you don´t have to change source code! To get your existing application working after the Spring Boot 1.5.x --> 2.0.x upgrade with PostgreSQL, just add tomcat-jdbc as a dependency to your pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-jdbc</artifactId>
    </dependency>

And then configure Spring Boot to use it accordingly inside application.properties:

spring.datasource.type=org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource

Hope to help some folks with this, was quite a time consuming problem. I also hope my beloved Spring folks update the docs - and the way new Hikari pool is configured - to get a more consistent Spring Boot user experience :)

How can I install an older version of a package via NuGet?

I've used Xavier's answer quite a bit. I want to add that restricting the package version to a specified range is easy and useful in the latest versions of NuGet.

For example, if you never want Newtonsoft.Json to be updated past version 3.x.x in your project, change the corresponding package element in your packages.config file to look like this:

<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="3.5.8" allowedVersions="[3.0, 4.0)" targetFramework="net40" />

Notice the allowedVersions attribute. This will limit the version of that package to versions between 3.0 (inclusive) and 4.0 (exclusive). Then, when you do an Update-Package on the whole solution, you don't need to worry about that particular package being updated past version 3.x.x.

The documentation for this functionality is here.

JSON.net: how to deserialize without using the default constructor?

Based on some of the answers here, I have written a CustomConstructorResolver for use in a current project, and I thought it might help somebody else.

It supports the following resolution mechanisms, all configurable:

  • Select a single private constructor so you can define one private constructor without having to mark it with an attribute.
  • Select the most specific private constructor so you can have multiple overloads, still without having to use attributes.
  • Select the constructor marked with an attribute of a specific name - like the default resolver, but without a dependency on the Json.Net package because you need to reference Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConstructorAttribute.
public class CustomConstructorResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
    public string ConstructorAttributeName { get; set; } = "JsonConstructorAttribute";
    public bool IgnoreAttributeConstructor { get; set; } = false;
    public bool IgnoreSinglePrivateConstructor { get; set; } = false;
    public bool IgnoreMostSpecificConstructor { get; set; } = false;

    protected override JsonObjectContract CreateObjectContract(Type objectType)
    {
        var contract = base.CreateObjectContract(objectType);

        // Use default contract for non-object types.
        if (objectType.IsPrimitive || objectType.IsEnum) return contract;

        // Look for constructor with attribute first, then single private, then most specific.
        var overrideConstructor = 
               (this.IgnoreAttributeConstructor ? null : GetAttributeConstructor(objectType)) 
            ?? (this.IgnoreSinglePrivateConstructor ? null : GetSinglePrivateConstructor(objectType)) 
            ?? (this.IgnoreMostSpecificConstructor ? null : GetMostSpecificConstructor(objectType));

        // Set override constructor if found, otherwise use default contract.
        if (overrideConstructor != null)
        {
            SetOverrideCreator(contract, overrideConstructor);
        }

        return contract;
    }

    private void SetOverrideCreator(JsonObjectContract contract, ConstructorInfo attributeConstructor)
    {
        contract.OverrideCreator = CreateParameterizedConstructor(attributeConstructor);
        contract.CreatorParameters.Clear();
        foreach (var constructorParameter in base.CreateConstructorParameters(attributeConstructor, contract.Properties))
        {
            contract.CreatorParameters.Add(constructorParameter);
        }
    }

    private ObjectConstructor<object> CreateParameterizedConstructor(MethodBase method)
    {
        var c = method as ConstructorInfo;
        if (c != null)

        return a => method.Invoke(null, a);
    }

            .Where(c => c.GetCustomAttributes().Any(a => a.GetType().Name == this.ConstructorAttributeName)).ToList();

        if (constructors.Count == 1) return constructors[0];
        if (constructors.Count > 1)
            throw new JsonException($"Multiple constructors with a {this.ConstructorAttributeName}.");

        return null;
    }

    protected virtual ConstructorInfo GetSinglePrivateConstructor(Type objectType)
    {
        var constructors = objectType
            .GetConstructors(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);

Feedback appreciated.

XMLHttpRequest (Ajax) Error

I see 2 possible problems:

Problem 1

  • the XMLHTTPRequest object has not finished loading the data at the time you are trying to use it

Solution: assign a callback function to the objects "onreadystatechange" -event and handle the data in that function

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = callbackFunctionName;

Once the state has reached DONE (4), the response content is ready to be read.

Problem 2

  • the XMLHTTPRequest object does not exist in all browsers (by that name)

Solution: Either use a try-catch for creating the correct object for correct browser ( ActiveXObject in IE) or use a framework, for example jQuery ajax-method

Note: if you decide to use jQuery ajax-method, you assign the callback-function with jqXHR.done()

How to push a new folder (containing other folders and files) to an existing git repo?

You need to git add my_project to stage your new folder. Then git add my_project/* to stage its contents. Then commit what you've staged using git commit and finally push your changes back to the source using git push origin master (I'm assuming you wish to push to the master branch).

LaTeX "\indent" creating paragraph indentation / tabbing package requirement?

The first line of a paragraph is indented by default, thus whether or not you have \indent there won't make a difference. \indent and \noindent can be used to override default behavior. You can see this by replacing your line with the following:

Now we are engaged in a great civil war.\\
\indent this is indented\\
this isn't indented


\noindent override default indentation (not indented)\\

How to find nth occurrence of character in a string?

Two simple options occur:

  • Use charAt() repeatedly
  • Use indexOf() repeatedly

For example:

public static int nthIndexOf(String text, char needle, int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
    {
        if (text.charAt(i) == needle)
        {
            n--;
            if (n == 0)
            {
                return i;
            }
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

That may well not perform as well as using indexOf repeatedly, but it's possibly simpler to get right.

Didn't find class "com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider"?

I had the same issue and solved just add a piece of code, If you are getting this issue means you had already completed all the steps that need to use Firebase. You just need to create a class that extends the Application (public class Application_CrashReport extends Application ) and add this class in mainifest file and In that class just override the below method

  @Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
}

and add MultiDex.install(this); in that method means

  @Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

Note :- Don't forget to follow above steps

Git fetch remote branch

Use:

git checkout -b serverfix origin/serverfix

This is a common enough operation that Git provides the --track shorthand:

git checkout --track origin/serverfix

In fact, this is so common that there’s even a shortcut for that shortcut. If the branch name you’re trying to checkout (a) doesn’t exist and (b) exactly matches a name on only one remote, Git will create a tracking branch for you:

git checkout serverfix

To set up a local branch with a different name than the remote branch, you can easily use the first version with a different local branch name:

git checkout -b sf origin/serverfix

Now, your local branch sf will automatically pull from origin/serverfix.

Test for array of string type in TypeScript

You can have do it easily using Array.prototype.some() as below.

const isStringArray = (test: any[]): boolean => {
 return Array.isArray(test) && !test.some((value) => typeof value !== 'string')
}
const myArray = ["A", "B", "C"]
console.log(isStringArray(myArray)) // will be log true if string array

I believe this approach is better that others. That is why I am posting this answer.

Update on Sebastian Vittersø's comment

Here you can use Array.prototype.every() as well.

const isStringArray = (test: any[]): boolean => {
 return Array.isArray(test) && test.every((value) => typeof value === 'string')
}

How to increase an array's length

Item[] newItemList = new  Item[itemList.length+1];
    //for loop to go thorough the list one by one
    for(int i=0; i< itemList.length;i++){
        //value is stored here in the new list from the old one
        newItemList[i]=itemList[i];
    }
    //all the values of the itemLists are stored in a bigger array named newItemList
    itemList=newItemList;

How to trust a apt repository : Debian apt-get update error public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY <id>

I found several posts telling me to run several gpg commands, but they didn't solve the problem because of two things. First, I was missing the debian-keyring package on my system and second I was using an invalid keyserver. Try different keyservers if you're getting timeouts!

Thus, the way I fixed it was:

apt-get install debian-keyring
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1F41B907
gpg --armor --export 1F41B907 | apt-key add -

Then running a new "apt-get update" worked flawlessly!

CSS text-align not working

Change the rule on your <a> element from:

.navigation ul a {
    color: #000;
    display: block;
    padding: 0 65px 0 0;
    text-decoration: none;
}?

to

.navigation ul a {
    color: #000;
    display: block;
    padding: 0 65px 0 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}?

Just add two new rules (width:100%; and text-align:center;). You need to make the anchor expand to take up the full width of the list item and then text-align center it.

How to parse the AndroidManifest.xml file inside an .apk package

I have been running with the Ribo code posted above for over a year, and it has served us well. With recent updates (Gradle 3.x) though, I was no longer able to parse the AndroidManifest.xml, I was getting index out of bounds errors, and in general it was no longer able to parse the file.

Update: I now believe that our issues was with upgrading to Gradle 3.x. This article describes how AirWatch had issues and can be fixed by using a Gradle setting to use aapt instead of aapt2 AirWatch seems to be incompatible with Android Plugin for Gradle 3.0.0-beta1

In searching around I came across this open source project, and it's being maintained and I was able to get to the point and read both my old APKs that I could previously parse, and the new APKs that the logic from Ribo threw exceptions

https://github.com/xgouchet/AXML

From his example this is what I'm doing

  zf = new ZipFile(apkFile);

  //Getting the manifest
  ZipEntry entry = zf.getEntry("AndroidManifest.xml");
  InputStream is = zf.getInputStream(entry);

     // Read our manifest Document
     Document manifestDoc = new CompressedXmlParser().parseDOM(is);

     // Make sure we got a doc, and that it has children
     if (null != manifestDoc && manifestDoc.getChildNodes().getLength() > 0) {
        //
        Node firstNode = manifestDoc.getFirstChild();

        // Now get the attributes out of the node
        NamedNodeMap nodeMap = firstNode.getAttributes();

        // Finally to a point where we can read out our values
        versionName = nodeMap.getNamedItem("android:versionName").getNodeValue();
        versionCode = nodeMap.getNamedItem("android:versionCode").getNodeValue();
     }

How to count the NaN values in a column in pandas DataFrame

There is a nice Dzone article from July 2017 which details various ways of summarising NaN values. Check it out here.

The article I have cited provides additional value by: (1) Showing a way to count and display NaN counts for every column so that one can easily decide whether or not to discard those columns and (2) Demonstrating a way to select those rows in specific which have NaNs so that they may be selectively discarded or imputed.

Here's a quick example to demonstrate the utility of the approach - with only a few columns perhaps its usefulness is not obvious but I found it to be of help for larger data-frames.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# example DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,np.nan], 'b':[np.nan,1,np.nan]})

# Check whether there are null values in columns
null_columns = df.columns[df.isnull().any()]
print(df[null_columns].isnull().sum())

# One can follow along further per the cited article

Merge data frames based on rownames in R

See ?merge:

R> de[is.na(de)] <- 0                 # replace NA values
R> de

change html input type by JS?

Changing the type of an <input type=password> throws a security error in some browsers (old IE and Firefox versions).

You’ll need to create a new input element, set its type to the one you want, and clone all other properties from the existing one.

I do this in my jQuery placeholder plugin: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jquery-placeholder/blob/master/jquery.placeholder.js#L80-84

To work in Internet Explorer:

  • dynamically create a new element
  • copy the properties of the old element into the new element
  • set the type of the new element to the new type
  • replace the old element with the new element

The function below accomplishes the above tasks for you:

<script>
function changeInputType(oldObject, oType) {
    var newObject = document.createElement('input');
    newObject.type = oType;
    if(oldObject.size) newObject.size = oldObject.size;
    if(oldObject.value) newObject.value = oldObject.value;
    if(oldObject.name) newObject.name = oldObject.name;
    if(oldObject.id) newObject.id = oldObject.id;
    if(oldObject.className) newObject.className = oldObject.className;
    oldObject.parentNode.replaceChild(newObject,oldObject);
    return newObject;
}
</script>
