Text file in VBA: Open/Find Replace/SaveAs/Close File
Just add this line
sFileName = "C:\someotherfilelocation"
right before this line
Open sFileName For Output As iFileNum
The idea is to open and write to a different file than the one you read earlier (C:\filelocation
).
If you want to get fancy and show a real "Save As" dialog box, you could do this instead:
sFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename()
Excel VBA, error 438 "object doesn't support this property or method
The Error is here
lastrow = wsPOR.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
wsPOR is a workbook and not a worksheet. If you are working with "Sheet1" of that workbook then try this
lastrow = wsPOR.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & _
wsPOR.Sheets("Sheet1").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Similarly
wsPOR.Range("A2:G" & lastrow).Select
should be
wsPOR.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:G" & lastrow).Select
VBA (Excel) Initialize Entire Array without Looping
You can initialize the array by specifying the dimensions. For example
Dim myArray(10) As Integer
Dim myArray(1 to 10) As Integer
If you are working with arrays and if this is your first time then I would recommend visiting Chip Pearson's WEBSITE.
What does this initialize to? For example, what if I want to initialize the entire array to 13?
When you want to initailize the array of 13 elements then you can do it in two ways
Dim myArray(12) As Integer
Dim myArray(1 to 13) As Integer
In the first the lower bound of the array would start with 0
so you can store 13 elements in array. For example
myArray(0) = 1
myArray(1) = 2
'
'
'
myArray(12) = 13
In the second example you have specified the lower bounds as 1
so your array starts with 1
and can again store 13 values
myArray(1) = 1
myArray(2) = 2
'
'
'
myArray(13) = 13
Wnen you initialize an array using any of the above methods, the value of each element in the array is equal to 0
. To check that try this code.
Sub Sample()
Dim myArray(12) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
Debug.Print myArray(i)
Next i
End Sub
or
Sub Sample()
Dim myArray(1 to 13) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
Debug.Print myArray(i)
Next i
End Sub
FOLLOWUP FROM COMMENTS
So, in this example every value would be 13. So if I had an array Dim myArray(300) As Integer, all 300 elements would hold the value 13
Like I mentioned, AFAIK, there is no direct way of achieving what you want. Having said that here is one way which uses worksheet function Rept
to create a repetitive string of 13's. Once we have that string, we can use SPLIT
using ","
as a delimiter. But note this creates a variant array but can be used in calculations.
Note also, that in the following examples myArray
will actually hold 301 values of which the last one is empty - you would have to account for that by additionally initializing this value or removing the last "," from sNum
before the Split
operation.
Sub Sample()
Dim sNum As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim myArray
'~~> Create a string with 13 three hundred times separated by comma
'~~> 13,13,13,13...13,13 (300 times)
sNum = WorksheetFunction.Rept("13,", 300)
sNum = Left(sNum, Len(sNum) - 1)
myArray = Split(sNum, ",")
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
Debug.Print myArray(i)
Next i
End Sub
Using the variant array in calculations
Sub Sample()
Dim sNum As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim myArray
'~~> Create a string with 13 three hundred times separated by comma
sNum = WorksheetFunction.Rept("13,", 300)
sNum = Left(sNum, Len(sNum) - 1)
myArray = Split(sNum, ",")
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
Debug.Print Val(myArray(i)) + Val(myArray(i))
Next i
End Sub
Change HTML email body font type and size in VBA
FYI I did a little research as well and if the name of the font-family you want to apply contains spaces (as an example I take Gill Alt One MT Light), you should write it this way :
strbody= "<BODY style=" & Chr(34) & "font-family:Gill Alt One MT Light" & Chr(34) & ">" & YOUR_TEXT & "</BODY>"
VBA EXCEL Multiple Nested FOR Loops that Set two variable for expression
I can't get to your google docs file at the moment but there are some issues with your code that I will try to address while answering

'You said time1 doesn't change, so I left it in a singe cell.
'If that is not correct, you will have to play with this some more.
time1 = Range("A6").Value
'Looping through each of our output cells.
For Each t In Range("B7:E9") 'Change these to match your real ranges.
'Looping through each departure date/time.
'(Only one row in your example. This can be adjusted if needed.)
For Each x In Range("B2:E2") 'Change these to match your real ranges.
'Check to see if our dep time corresponds to
'the matching column in our output
If t.Column = x.Column Then
'If it does, then check to see what our time value is
If x > 0 Then
time2 = x.Value
'Apply the change to the output cell.
t.Value = time1 - time2
'Exit out of this loop and move to the next output cell.
Exit For
End If
End If
'If the columns don't match, or the x value is not a time
'then we'll move to the next dep time (x)
Next x
Next t
End Sub
EDIT
I changed you worksheet to play with (see above for the new Sub). This probably does not suite your needs directly, but hopefully it will demonstrate the conept behind what I think you want to do. Please keep in mind that this code does not follow all the coding best preactices I would recommend (e.g. validating the time is actually a TIME and not some random other data type).
A B C D E
1 LOAD_NUMBER 1 2 3 4
2 DEPARTURE_TIME_DATE 11/12/2011 19:30 11/12/2011 19:30 11/12/2011 19:30 11/12/2011 20:00
4 Dry_Refrig 7585.1 0 10099.8 16700
6 1/4/2012 19:30
Using the sub I got this output:

Dynamically Dimensioning A VBA Array?
You have to use the ReDim statement to dynamically size arrays.
Public Sub Test()
Dim NumberOfZombies As Integer
NumberOfZombies = 20000
Dim Zombies() As New Zombie
ReDim Zombies(NumberOfZombies)
End Sub
This can seem strange when you already know the size of your array, but there you go!
Excel tab sheet names vs. Visual Basic sheet names
Perhaps I am wrong, but you can open a workbook, and select a worksheet and change its property (Name) to whatever you need it to be. This overrides the "Sheetx" naming convention. These names are also displayed in the VBA Editor.
How to do this manually:
1. Select the sheet in a workbook (I tend to create templates).
2. Set its tab name to whatever you like ("foo").
3. Click on the Developer menu (which you previously enabled, right?).
4. Locate "Properties" and click on it, bringing up that worksheet's properties window.
5. The very first item in the Alphabetic listing is (Name) and at the right of (Name) is "Sheetx".
6. Click on that field and change it (how about we use "MyFav").
7. Close the properties window.
8. Go to the Visual Basic editor.
9. Review the sheets in the workbook you just modified.
10. Observe that the MicroSoft Excel Objects shows the name you just changed "MyFav", and to the right of that, in parenthesis, the worksheet tab name ("foo").
You can change the .CodeName programmatically if you would rather. I use non-Sheet names to facilitate my template manipulation.
You are not forced to use the generic default of "Sheetx".
ShowAllData method of Worksheet class failed
AutoFilterMode will be True if engaged, regardless of whether there is actually a filter applied to a specific column or not. When this happens, ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
will still run, throwing an error (because there is no actual filtering).
I had the same issue and got it working with
If (ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode And ActiveSheet.FilterMode) Or ActiveSheet.FilterMode Then
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End If
This seems to prevent ShowAllData from running when there is no actual filter applied but with AutoFilterMode turned on.
The second catch Or ActiveSheet.FilterMode
should catch advanced filters
Create hyperlink to another sheet
The "!" sign is the key element. If you have a cell object (like "mycell" in following code sample) and link a cell to this object you must pay attention to ! element.
You must do something like this:
.Cells(i, 2).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range(Cells(i, 2).Address), Address:="", _
SubAddress:= "'" & ws.Name & "'" & _
"!" & mycell.Address
WorksheetFunction.CountA - not working post upgrade to Office 2010
I'm not sure exactly what your problem is, because I cannot get your code to work as written. Two things seem evident:
- It appears you are relying on VBA to determine variable types and modify accordingly. This can get confusing if you are not careful, because VBA may assign a variable type you did not intend. In your code, a type of
Range
should be assigned to myRange
. Since a Range
type is an object in VBA it needs to be Set
, like this: Set myRange = Range("A:A")
- Your use of the worksheet function
CountA()
should be called with .WorksheetFunction
If you are not doing it already, consider using the Option Explicit option at the top of your module, and typing your variables with Dim
statements, as I have done below.
The following code works for me in 2010. Hopefully it works for you too:
Dim myRange As Range
Dim NumRows As Integer
Set myRange = Range("A:A")
NumRows = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(myRange)
Good Luck.
Loop through files in a folder using VBA?
Here's my interpretation as a Function Instead:

'# Function to Loop through files in current directory and return filenames
'# Usage: LoopThroughFiles ActiveWorkbook.Path, "txt" 'inputDirectoryToScanForFile

How can VBA connect to MySQL database in Excel?
Ranjit's code caused the same error message as reported by Tin, but worked after updating Cn.open with the ODBC driver I'm running. Check the Drivers tab in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Mine said "MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver" so I updated accordingly.
VBA Excel Provide current Date in Text box
Set the value from code on showing the form, not in the design-timeProperties for the text box.
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Me.txtDate.Value = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yy")

How to Lock the data in a cell in excel using vba
Try using the Worksheet.Protect
method, like so:
Sub ProtectActiveSheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
ws.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True, Password="SamplePassword"
End Sub
You should, however, be concerned about including the password in your VBA code. You don't necessarily need a password if you're only trying to put up a simple barrier that keeps a user from making small mistakes like deleting formulas, etc.
Also, if you want to see how to do certain things in VBA in Excel, try recording a Macro and looking at the code it generates. That's a good way to get started in VBA.

Selection.Sort key1:=Range("B3", Range("B3").End(xlDown)), _
order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo

ByRef argument type mismatch in Excel VBA
While looping through your string one character at a time is a viable method, there's no need. VBA has built-in functions for this kind of thing:

is the name you registered for Windows; see Control Panel >System
How to Insert Double or Single Quotes
To Create New Quoted Values from Unquoted Values
- Column A contains the names.
- Put the following formula into Column B
= """" & A1 & """"
- Copy Column B and Paste Special -> Values
Using a Custom Function
Public Function Enquote(cell As Range, Optional quoteCharacter As String = """") As Variant
Enquote = quoteCharacter & cell.value & quoteCharacter
End Function
=OfficePersonal.xls!Enquote(A1)
=OfficePersonal.xls!Enquote(A1, "'")
To get permanent quoted strings, you will have to copy formula values and paste-special-values.
VBA Macro On Timer style to run code every set number of seconds, i.e. 120 seconds
When the workbook first opens, execute this code:
alertTime = Now + TimeValue("00:02:00")
Application.OnTime alertTime, "EventMacro"
Then just have a macro in the workbook called "EventMacro" that will repeat it.
Public Sub EventMacro()
'... Execute your actions here'
alertTime = Now + TimeValue("00:02:00")
Application.OnTime alertTime, "EventMacro"
End Sub
Check if a string contains another string
Use the Instr function
Dim pos As Integer
pos = InStr("find the comma, in the string", ",")
will return 15 in pos
If not found it will return 0
If you need to find the comma with an excel formula you can use the =FIND(",";A1)
function.
Notice that if you want to use Instr
to find the position of a string case-insensitive use the third parameter of Instr and give it the const vbTextCompare
(or just 1 for die-hards).
Dim posOf_A As Integer
posOf_A = InStr(1, "find the comma, in the string", "A", vbTextCompare)
will give you a value of 14.
Note that you have to specify the start position in this case as stated in the specification I linked: The start argument is required if compare is specified.
Trim Cells using VBA in Excel
Works fine for me with one change - fourth line should be:
cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
Edit: If it appears to be stuck in a loop, I'd add
Debug.Print cell.Address
inside your For ... Next
loop to get a bit more info on what's happening.
I also suspect that Trim
only strips spaces - are you sure you haven't got some other kind of non-display character in there?
VBA general way for pulling data out of SAP
This all depends on what sort of access you have to your SAP system. An ABAP program that exports the data and/or an RFC that your macro can call to directly get the data or have SAP create the file is probably best.
However as a general rule people looking for this sort of answer are looking for an immediate solution that does not require their IT department to spend months customizing their SAP system.
In that case you probably want to use SAP GUI Scripting. SAP GUI scripting allows you to automate the Windows SAP GUI in much the same way as you automate Excel. In fact you can call the SAP GUI directly from an Excel macro. Read up more on it here. The SAP GUI has a macro recording tool much like Excel does. It records macros in VBScript which is nearly identical to Excel VBA and can usually be copied and pasted into an Excel macro directly.
Example Code
Here is a simple example based on a SAP system I have access to.
Public Sub SimpleSAPExport()
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI") 'Get the SAP GUI Scripting object
Set SAPApp = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine 'Get the currently running SAP GUI
Set SAPCon = SAPApp.Children(0) 'Get the first system that is currently connected
Set session = SAPCon.Children(0) 'Get the first session (window) on that connection
'Start the transaction to view a table
session.StartTransaction "SE16"
'Select table T001
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDATABROWSE-TABLENAME").Text = "T001"
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[7]").Press
'Set our selection criteria
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtMAX_SEL").text = "2"
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").press
'Click the export to file button
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[45]").press
'Choose the export format
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_STEPLOOP:SAPLSPO5:0150/sub:SAPLSPO5:0150/radSPOPLI-SELFLAG[1,0]").select
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
'Choose the export filename
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_FILENAME").text = "test.txt"
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_PATH").text = "C:\Temp\"
'Export the file
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
End Sub
Script Recording
To help find the names of elements such aswnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]
you can use script recording.
Click the customize local layout button, it probably looks a bit like this:
Then find the Script Recording and Playback menu item.
Within that the More
button allows you to see/change the file that the VB Script is recorded to. The output format is a bit messy, it records things like selecting text, clicking inside a text field, etc.
Edit: Early and Late binding
The provided script should work if copied directly into a VBA macro. It uses late binding, the line Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
defines the SapGuiAuto object.
If however you want to use early binding so that your VBA editor might show the properties and methods of the objects you are using, you need to add a reference to sapfewse.ocx
in the SAP GUI installation folder.
Excel: the Incredible Shrinking and Expanding Controls
Although there are clearly numerous reasons for this behavior, several answers point to issues with scaling and screen resolutions. One workaround is to use the following functions to resize and anchor the controls to a specific cell:
Sub ResizeCombo(ByRef cbo As Shape, ByVal rw As Long, ByVal cl As Long, ByVal wid As Long)
cbo.Height = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Height - 1
cbo.Top = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Top + 1
cbo.Left = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Left + 1
cbo.Width = wid
End Sub
Sub ResizeCheckbox(ByRef cbo As Shape, ByVal rw As Long, ByVal cl As Long)
cbo.Height = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Height - 1
cbo.Top = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Top + 1
cbo.Left = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).Left + 6
cbo.Width = Intake.Cells(rw, cl).MergeArea.Width - 7
End Sub
Sub ResizeCombos()
ResizeCombo Intake.Shapes("School"), 11, 1, 144
ResizeCheckbox Intake.Shapes("cbReading"), 70, 1
''ResizeCombo also works for option buttons
ResizeCombo Intake.Shapes("obGenderMale"), 20, 8, 45
ResizeCombo Intake.Shapes("obGenderFemale"), 20, 9,50
HOWEVER, recently this workaround stopped working. I've been banging against it for days until I discovered that the zoom level of the sheet had been adjusted to 105%! Resetting it to 100% resolved the problem. However what if the user needs a higher zoom level? I figured out that I can change the zoom after resizing and things stay where they were meant to. My calling function now looks like this:
Sub refresh()
OldZoom = ActiveWindow.Zoom
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 100
Call ResizeCombos
ActiveWindow.Zoom = OldZoom
End Sub
So far it is working!
How to add headers to a multicolumn listbox in an Excel userform using VBA
Another variant on Lunatik's response is to use a local boolean and the change event so that the row can be highlighted upon initializing, but deselected and blocked after a selection change is made by the user:
Private Sub lbx_Change()
If Not bHighlight Then
If Me.lbx.Selected(0) Then Me.lbx.Selected(0) = False
End If
bHighlight = False
End Sub
When the listbox is initialized you then set bHighlight and lbx.Selected(0) = True, which will allow the header-row to initialize selected; afterwards, the first change will deselect and prevent the row from being selected again...
Copy and Paste a set range in the next empty row
Below is the code that works well but my values overlap in sheet "Final" everytime the condition of <=11
meets in sheet "Calculator"
I would like you to kindly support me to modify the code so that the cursor should move to next blank cell and values keeps on adding up like a list.
Dim i As Integer
Dim ws1 As Worksheet: Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Calculator")
Dim ws2 As Worksheet: Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Final")
For i = 2 To ws1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
If ws1.Cells(i, 4) <= 11 Then
ws2.Cells(i, 1).Value = Left(Worksheets("Calculator").Cells(i, 1).Value, Len(Worksheets("Calculator").Cells(i, 1).Value) - 0)
ws2.Cells(i, 2) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:D"), 4, False)
ws2.Cells(i, 3) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:E"), 5, False)
ws2.Cells(i, 4) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:B"), 2, False)
ws2.Cells(i, 5) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:C"), 3, False)
End If
Next i
Microsoft Excel ActiveX Controls Disabled?
I'm an Excel developer, and I definitely felt the pain when this happened. Fortunately, I was able to find a workaround by renaming the MSForms.exd files in VBA even when Excel is running, which also can fix the issue. Excel developers who need to distribute their spreadsheets can add the following VBA code to their spreadsheets to make them immune to the MS update.
Place this code in any module.
Public Sub RenameMSFormsFiles()
Const tempFileName As String = "MSForms - Copy.exd"
Const msFormsFileName As String = "MSForms.exd"
On Error Resume Next
'Try to rename the C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0\MSForms.exd file
RenameFile Environ("TEMP") & "\Excel8.0\" & msFormsFileName, Environ("TEMP") & "\Excel8.0\" & tempFileName
'Try to rename the C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE\MSForms.exd file
RenameFile Environ("TEMP") & "\VBE\" & msFormsFileName, Environ("TEMP") & "\VBE\" & tempFileName
End Sub
Private Sub RenameFile(fromFilePath As String, toFilePath As String)
If CheckFileExist(fromFilePath) Then
DeleteFile toFilePath
Name fromFilePath As toFilePath
End If
End Sub
Private Function CheckFileExist(path As String) As Boolean
CheckFileExist = (Dir(path) <> "")
End Function
Private Sub DeleteFile(path As String)
If CheckFileExist(path) Then
SetAttr path, vbNormal
Kill path
End If
End Sub
The RenameMSFormsFiles subroutine tries to rename the MSForms.exd files in the C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0\
and C:\Users\[user.name]\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE\
folders to MSForms - Copy.exd.
Then call the RenameMSFormsFiles subroutine at the very beginning of the Workbook_Open event.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
RenameMSFormsFiles
End Sub
The spreadsheet will try to rename the MSForms.exd files when it opens. Obviously, this is not a perfect fix:
- The affected user will still experience the ActiveX control errors when running the VBA code the very first time opening the spreadsheet. Only after executing the VBA code once and restarting Excel, the issue is fixed. Normally when a user encounters a broken spreadsheet, the knee-jerk reaction is to close Excel and try to open the spreadsheet again. :)
- The MSForms.exd files are renamed every time the spreadsheet opens, even when there's no issue with the MSForms.exd files. But the spreadsheet will work just fine.
At least for now, Excel developers can continue to distribute their work with this workaround until Microsoft releases a fix.
I've posted this solution here.
VBA EXCEL To Prompt User Response to Select Folder and Return the Path as String Variable
Consider:

.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
sItem = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
NextCode:
GetFolder = sItem
Set fldr = Nothing
End Function
This code was adapted from Ozgrid

How to check for empty array in vba macro
I'll generalize the problem and the Question as intended.
Test assingment on the array, and catch the eventual error
Function IsVarArrayEmpty(anArray as Variant)
Dim aVar as Variant
IsVarArrayEmpty=False
On error resume next
aVar=anArray(1)
If Err.number then '...still, it might not start at this index
aVar=anArray(0)
If Err.number then IsVarArrayEmpty=True ' neither 0 or 1 yields good assignment
EndIF
End Function
Sure it misses arrays with all negative indexes or all > 1... is that likely? in weirdland, yes.
Use cell's color as condition in if statement (function)
I had a similar problem where I needed to only show a value from another Excel cell if the font was black. I created this function:
`Option Explicit
Function blackFont(r As Range) As Boolean
If r.Font.Color = 0 Then
blackFont = True
Else
blackFont = False
End If
End Function
`
In my cell I have this formula:
=IF(blackFont(Y51),Y51," ")
This worked well for me to test for a black font and only show the value in the Y51 cell if it had a black font.
VBA: Selecting range by variables
You're missing a close parenthesis, I.E. you aren't closing Range()
.
Try this Range(cells(1, 1), cells(lastRow, lastColumn)).Select
But you should really look at the other answer from Dick Kusleika for possible alternatives that may serve you better. Specifically, ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
which has the same end result as your code.
Get User Selected Range
Selection
is its own object within VBA. It functions much like a Range
object.
Selection and Range do not share all the same properties and methods, though, so for ease of use it might make sense just to create a range and set it equal to the Selection, then you can deal with it programmatically like any other range.
Dim myRange as Range
Set myRange = Selection

How to count the number of rows in excel with data?
I prefer using the CurrentRegion property, which is equivalent to Ctrl-*, which expands the current range to its largest continuous range with data. You start with a cell, or range, which you know will contain data, then expand it. The UsedRange Property sometimes returns huge areas, just because someone did some formatting at the bottom of the sheet.
Dim Liste As Worksheet
Set Liste = wb.Worksheets("B Leistungen (Liste)")
Dim longlastrow As Long
longlastrow = Liste.Range(Liste.Cells(4, 1), Liste.Cells(6, 3)).CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Returning a regex match in VBA (excel)
You need to access the matches in order to get at the SDI number. Here is a function that will do it (assuming there is only 1 SDI number per cell).
For the regex, I used "sdi followed by a space and one or more numbers". You had "sdi followed by a space and zero or more numbers". You can simply change the + to * in my pattern to go back to what you had.
Function ExtractSDI(ByVal text As String) As String
Dim result As String
Dim allMatches As Object
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.pattern = "(sdi \d+)"
RE.Global = True
RE.IgnoreCase = True
Set allMatches = RE.Execute(text)
If allMatches.count <> 0 Then
result = allMatches.Item(0).submatches.Item(0)
End If
ExtractSDI = result
End Function
If a cell may have more than one SDI number you want to extract, here is my RegexExtract function. You can pass in a third paramter to seperate each match (like comma-seperate them), and you manually enter the pattern in the actual function call:
Ex) =RegexExtract(A1, "(sdi \d+)", ", ")
Here is:
Function RegexExtract(ByVal text As String, _
ByVal extract_what As String, _
Optional seperator As String = "") As String
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim result As String
Dim allMatches As Object
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.pattern = extract_what
RE.Global = True
Set allMatches = RE.Execute(text)
For i = 0 To allMatches.count - 1
For j = 0 To allMatches.Item(i).submatches.count - 1
result = result & seperator & allMatches.Item(i).submatches.Item(j)
Next
Next
If Len(result) <> 0 Then
result = Right(result, Len(result) - Len(seperator))
End If
RegexExtract = result
End Function
*Please note that I have taken "RE.IgnoreCase = True" out of my RegexExtract, but you could add it back in, or even add it as an optional 4th parameter if you like.
Paste Excel range in Outlook
First off, RangeToHTML
. The script calls it like a method, but it isn't. It's a popular function by MVP Ron de Bruin. Coincidentally, that links points to the exact source of the script you posted, before those few lines got b?u?t?c?h?e?r?e?d? modified.
On with Range.SpecialCells. This method operates on a range and returns only those cells that match the given criteria. In your case, you seem to be only interested in the visible text cells. Importantly, it operates on a Range, not on HTML text.
For completeness sake, I'll post a working version of the script below. I'd certainly advise to disregard it and revisit the excellent original by Ron the Bruin.

Copying and pasting data using VBA code
Use the PasteSpecial method:
sht.Columns("A:G").Copy
Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
BUT your big problem is that you're changing your ActiveSheet to "Data" and not changing it back. You don't need to do the Activate and Select, as per my code (this assumes your button is on the sheet you want to copy to).
Add "Are you sure?" to my excel button, how can I?
On your existing button code, simply insert this line before the procedure:
If MsgBox("This will erase everything! Are you sure?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
This will force it to quit if the user presses no.
Return multiple values from a function, sub or type?
you could connect all the data you need from the file to a single string, and in the excel sheet seperate it with text to column.
here is an example i did for same issue, enjoy:
Sub CP()
Dim ToolFile As String
Cells(3, 2).Select
For i = 0 To 5
r = ActiveCell.Row
ToolFile = Cells(r, 7).Value
On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.Value = CP_getdatta(ToolFile)
'seperate data by "-"
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("C3"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:="-", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Cells(r + 1, 2).Select
Next
End Sub
Function CP_getdatta(ToolFile As String) As String
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ToolFile, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True
Range("A56000").Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
x = CStr(ActiveCell.Value)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 20).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
While IsNumeric(ActiveCell.Value) = False
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
Wend
' combine data to 1 string
CP_getdatta = CStr(x & "-" & ActiveCell.Value)

Excel VBA For Each Worksheet Loop
Try to slightly modify your code:
Sub forEachWs()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Call resizingColumns(ws)
Next
End Sub
Sub resizingColumns(ws As Worksheet)
With ws
.Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 20.14
.Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 9.71
.Range("C:C").ColumnWidth = 35.86
.Range("D:D").ColumnWidth = 30.57
.Range("E:E").ColumnWidth = 23.57
.Range("F:F").ColumnWidth = 21.43
.Range("G:G").ColumnWidth = 18.43
.Range("H:H").ColumnWidth = 23.86
.Range("i:I").ColumnWidth = 27.43
.Range("J:J").ColumnWidth = 36.71
.Range("K:K").ColumnWidth = 30.29
.Range("L:L").ColumnWidth = 31.14
.Range("M:M").ColumnWidth = 31
.Range("N:N").ColumnWidth = 41.14
.Range("O:O").ColumnWidth = 33.86
End With
End Sub
Note, resizingColumns
routine takes parametr - worksheet to which Ranges belongs.
Basically, when you're using Range("O:O")
- code operats with range from ActiveSheet, that's why you should use With ws
statement and then .Range("O:O")
.
And there is no need to use global variables (unless you are using them somewhere else)
How to error handle 1004 Error with WorksheetFunction.VLookup?
There is a way to skip the errors inside the code and go on with the loop anyway, hope it helps:
Sub new1()

Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets(1)
Dim rngLook As Range: Set rngLook = ws.Range("A:M")
currName = "Example"
On Error Resume Next ''if error, the code will go on anyway
cellNum = wsFunc.VLookup(currName, rngLook, 13, 0)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
''error appeared
MsgBox "currName not found" ''optional, no need to do anything
End If
On Error GoTo 0 ''no error, coming back to default conditions

macro for Hide rows in excel 2010
Well, you're on the right path, Benno!
There are some tips regarding VBA programming that might help you out.
Use always explicit references to the sheet you want to interact with. Otherwise, Excel may 'assume' your code applies to the active sheet and eventually you'll see it screws your spreadsheet up.
As lionz mentioned, get in touch with the native methods Excel offers. You might use them on most of your tricks.
Explicitly declare your variables... they'll show the list of methods each object offers in VBA. It might save your time digging on the internet.
Now, let's have a draft code...
Remember this code must be within the Excel Sheet object, as explained by lionz. It only applies to Sheet 2, is up to you to adapt it to both Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 in the way you prefer.
Hope it helps!

How to search a string in a single column (A) in excel using VBA
Below are two methods that are superior to looping. Both handle a "no-find" case.
- The VBA equivalent of a normal function
VLOOKUP
with error-handling if the variable doesn't exist (INDEX/MATCH
may be a better route than VLOOKUP
, ie if your two columns A and B were in reverse order, or were far apart)
VBAs FIND
method (matching a whole string in column A given I use the xlWhole
argument)
Sub Method1()
Dim strSearch As String
Dim strOut As String
Dim bFailed As Boolean
strSearch = "trees"
On Error Resume Next
strOut = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(strSearch, Range("A:B"), 2, False)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then bFailed = True
On Error GoTo 0
If Not bFailed Then
MsgBox "corresponding value is " & vbNewLine & strOut
Else
MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
End If
End Sub
Sub Method2()
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim strSearch As String
strSearch = "trees"
Set rng1 = Range("A:A").Find(strSearch, , xlValues, xlWhole)
If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Find has matched " & strSearch & vbNewLine & "corresponding cell is " & rng1.Offset(0, 1)
Else
MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
End If
End Sub
Wait until ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll finishes - VBA
I was having this same problem, and tried all the above solutions with no success. I finally solved the problem by deleting the entire query and creating a new one.
The new one had the exact same settings as the one that didn't work (literally the same query definition as I simply copied the old one).
I have no idea why this solved the problem, but it did.
Excel VBA calling sub from another sub with multiple inputs, outputs of different sizes
VBA subs are no macros. A VBA sub can be a macro, but it is not a must.
The term "macro" is only used for recorded user actions. from these actions a code is generated and stored in a sub. This code is simple and do not provide powerful structures like loops, for example Do .. until, for .. next, while.. do, and others.
The more elegant way is, to design and write your own VBA code without using the macro features!
VBA is a object based and event oriented language. Subs, or bette call it "sub routines", are started by dedicated events. The event can be the pressing of a button or the opening of a workbook and many many other very specific events.
If you focus to VB6 and not to VBA, then you can state, that there is always a main-window or main form. This form is started if you start the compiled executable "xxxx.exe".
In VBA you have nothing like this, but you have a XLSM file wich is started by Excel. You can attach some code to the Workbook_Open event. This event is generated, if you open your desired excel file which is called a workbook. Inside the workbook you have worksheets.
It is useful to get more familiar with the so called object model of excel. The workbook has several events and methods. Also the worksheet has several events and methods.
In the object based model you have objects, that have events and methods. methods are action you can do with a object. events are things that can happen to an object. An objects can contain another objects, and so on. You can create new objects, like sheets or charts.
How do I find the last column with data?
I know this is old, but I've tested this in many ways and it hasn't let me down yet, unless someone can tell me otherwise.
Row number
Row = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1] , SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
Column Letter
ColumnLetter = Split(ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Cells.Address(1, 0), "$")(0)
Column Number
ColumnNumber = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column

Hiding a sheet in Excel 2007 (with a password) OR hide VBA code in Excel
Here is what you do in Excel 2003:
- In your sheet of interest, go to Format -> Sheet -> Hide and hide your sheet.
- Go to Tools -> Protection -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.
Here is what you do in Excel 2007:
- In your sheet of interest, go to Home ribbon -> Format -> Hide & Unhide -> Hide Sheet and hide your sheet.
- Go to Review ribbon -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.
Once this is done, the sheet is hidden and cannot be unhidden without the password. Make sense?
If you really need to keep some calculations secret, try this: use Access (or another Excel workbook or some other DB of your choice) to calculate what you need calculated, and export only the "unclassified" results to your Excel workbook.

How should I make my VBA code compatible with 64-bit Windows?
I've already encountered this problem on people using my in-house tools on new 64 bit machines with Office 2010.
all I had to do was change lines of code like this:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
To This:
#If VBA7 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
#Else
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
#End If
You will, of course want to make sure that the library you're using is available on both machines, but so far nothing I've used has been a problem.
Note that in the old VB6, PtrSafe isn't even a valid command, so it'll appear in red as though you have a compile error, but it won't actually ever give an error because the compiler will skip the first part of the if block.
Applications using the above code compile and run perfectly on Office 2003, 2007, and 2010 32 and 64 bit.
Delete all duplicate rows Excel vba
The duplicate values in any column can be deleted with a simple for loop.

For a = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A1:A" & a), Cells(a, 1)) > 1 Then Rows(a).Delete
Next
End Sub
Open Windows Explorer and select a file
Check out this snippet:
Private Sub openDialog()
Dim fd As Office.FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = False
' Set the title of the dialog box.
.Title = "Please select the file."
' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel 2003", "*.xls"
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"
' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
' False, the user clicked Cancel.
If .Show = True Then
txtFileName = .SelectedItems(1) 'replace txtFileName with your textbox
End If
End With
End Sub
I think this is what you are asking for.
Excel VBA: function to turn activecell to bold
I use
chartRange = xlWorkSheet.Rows[1];
chartRange.Font.Bold = true;
to turn the first-row-cells-font into bold. And it works, and I am using also Excel 2007.
You can call in VBA directly
ActiveCell.Font.Bold = True
With this code I create a timestamp in the active cell, with bold font and yellow background
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveCell.Value = Now()
ActiveCell.Font.Bold = True
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
Autonumber value of last inserted row - MS Access / VBA
This is an adaptation from my code for you. I was inspired from developpez.com (Look in the page for : "Pour insérer des données, vaut-il mieux passer par un RecordSet ou par une requête de type INSERT ?"). They explain (with a little French). This way is much faster than the one upper. In the example, this way was 37 times faster. Try it.

Const columnIdName As String = "??"
Const columnDateName As String = "date"

Call rsTable .AddNew
recordId = CLng(rsTable (columnIdName)) ' Save your Id in a variable
rsTable (columnDateName) = Now() ' Store your data
rsTable .Update
recordSet.Close

Sheet 2 (old - new)
=(if(AND(Ref_Old<>"";Ref_New="");Ref_Old;"")
This formulas should work for an ENGLISH Excel. For other languages they need to be translated. (For German i can assist)
You need to open all three Excel Documents, then copy the first formula into A1 of your sheet 1 and the second into A1 of sheet 2.
Now click in A1 of the first cell and mark "Ref_New", now you can select your reference, go to the new file and click in the A1, go back to sheet1 and do the same for "Ref_Old" with the old file. Replace also the other "Ref_New".
Doe the same for Sheet two.
Now copy the formaula form A1 over the complete range where zour data is in the old and the new file.
But two cases are not covered here:
- In the compared cell of New and Old is the same data (Resulting Cell will be empty)
- In the compared cell of New and Old is diffe data (Resulting Cell will be empty)
To cover this two cases also, you should create your own function, means learn VBA. A very useful Excel page is cpearson.com
Requery a subform from another form?
All your controls are belong to us!
Fionnuala answered this correctly but skimmers like me would find it easy to miss the point.
You don't refresh the subFORM you refresh the subform CONTROL. In fact, if you check with allforms() the subForm isn't even loaded as far as access is concerned.
On the main form look at the label the subform wizard provided or select the subform by clicking once or on the border around it and look at the "caption" in the "Other" tab in properties. That's the name you use for requerying, not the name of the form that appears in the navigation panel.
In my case I had a subform called frmInvProdSub and I tried for many hours to figure out why Access didn't think it existed. I gave up, deleted the form and re-created it. The very last step is telling it what you want to call the control so I called it frmInvProdSub and finished the wizard. Then I tried and voila, it worked!
When I looked at the form name in the navigation window I realized I'd forgotten to put "Sub" in the name! That's when it clicked. The CONTROL is called frmInvProdSub, not the form and using the control name works.
Of course if both names are identical then you didn't have this problem lol.
Copy Paste Values only( xlPasteValues )
Personally, I would shorten it a touch too if all you need is the columns:
For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)
Sheets("SheetA").Columns(arr1(i)).Copy
Sheets("SheetB").Columns(arr2(i)).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next
as from this code snippet, there isnt much point in lastrow
or firstrowDB
Using Excel VBA to export data to MS Access table
@Ahmed
Below is code that specifies fields from a named range for insertion into MS Access. The nice thing about this code is that you can name your fields in Excel whatever the hell you want (If you use * then the fields have to match exactly between Excel and Access) as you can see I have named an Excel column "Haha" even though the Access column is called "dte".
Sub test()
dbWb = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName
dsh = "[" & Application.ActiveSheet.Name & "$]" & "Data2" 'Data2 is a named range
sdbpath = "C:\Users\myname\Desktop\Database2.mdb"
sCommand = "INSERT INTO [main] ([dte], [test1], [values], [values2]) SELECT [haha],[test1],[values],[values2] FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=" & dbWb & "]." & dsh
Dim dbCon As New ADODB.Connection
Dim dbCommand As New ADODB.Command
dbCon.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & sdbpath & "; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=;"
dbCommand.ActiveConnection = dbCon
dbCommand.CommandText = sCommand
dbCommand.Execute
dbCon.Close
End Sub
How to clear memory to prevent "out of memory error" in excel vba?
Found this thread looking for a solution to my problem. Mine required a different solution that I figured out that might be of use to others. My macro was deleting rows, shifting up, and copying rows to another worksheet. Memory usage was exploding to several gigs and causing "out of memory" after processing around only 4000 records. What solved it for me?
application.screenupdating = false
Added that at the beginning of my code (be sure to make it true again, at the end)
I knew that would make it run faster, which it did.. but had no idea about the memory thing.
After making this small change the memory usage didn't exceed 135 mb. Why did that work? No idea really. But it's worth a shot and might apply to you.
Reference excel worksheet by name?
The best way is to create a variable of type Worksheet
, assign the worksheet and use it every time the VBA would implicitly use the ActiveSheet
.
This will help you avoid bugs that will eventually show up when your program grows in size.
For example something like Range("A1:C10").Sort Key1:=Range("A2")
is good when the macro works only on one sheet. But you will eventually expand your macro to work with several sheets, find out that this doesn't work, adjust it to ShTest1.Range("A1:C10").Sort Key1:=Range("A2")
... and find out that it still doesn't work.
Here is the correct way:
Dim ShTest1 As Worksheet
Set ShTest1 = Sheets("Test1")
ShTest1.Range("A1:C10").Sort Key1:=ShTest1.Range("A2")
Saving an Excel sheet in a current directory with VBA
Taking this one step further, to save a file to a relative directory, you can use the replace function. Say you have your workbook saved in: c:\property\california\sacramento\workbook.xlsx, use this to move the property to berkley:
workBookPath = Replace(ActiveWorkBook.path, "sacramento", "berkley")
myWorkbook.SaveAs(workBookPath & "\" & "newFileName.xlsx"
Only works if your file structure contains one instance of the text used to replace. YMMV.
Checking if a worksheet-based checkbox is checked
Is this what you are trying?
Sub Sample()
Dim cb As Shape
Set cb = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Check Box 1")
If cb.OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1 Then
MsgBox "Checkbox is Checked"
Else
MsgBox "Checkbox is not Checked"
End If
End Sub
Replace Activesheet
with the relevant sheetname. Also replace Check Box 1
with the relevant checkbox name.
How to Add Date Picker To VBA UserForm
Just throw some light in to some issues related to this control.
Date picker is not a standard control that comes with office package. So developers encountered issues like missing date picker controls when application deployed in some other machiens/versions of office. In order to use it you have to activate the reference to the .dll, .ocx file that contains it.
In the event of a missing date picker, you have to replace MSCOMCT2.OCX file in System or System32 directory and register it properly. Try this link to do the proper replacement of the file.
In the VBA editor menu bar-> select tools-> references and then find the date picker reference and check it.
If you need the file, download MSCOMCT2.OCX from here.
How do I put double quotes in a string in vba?
I prefer the answer of tabSF . implementing the same to your answer. here below is my approach

How to clear the entire array?
i fell into a case where clearing the entire array failed with dim/redim :
having 2 module-wide arrays, Private inside a userform,
One array is dynamic and uses a class module, the other is fixed and has a special type.
Option Explicit
Private Type Perso_Type
Nom As String
PV As Single 'Long 'max 1
Mana As Single 'Long
Classe1 As String
XP1 As Single
Classe2 As String
XP2 As Single
Classe3 As String
XP3 As Single
Classe4 As String
XP4 As Single
Buff(1 To 10) As IPicture 'Disp
BuffType(1 To 10) As String
Dances(1 To 10) As IPicture 'Disp
DancesType(1 To 10) As String
End Type
Private Data_Perso(1 To 9, 1 To 8) As Perso_Type
Dim ImgArray() As New ClsImage 'ClsImage is a Class module
And i have a sub declared as public to clear those arrays (and associated run-time created controls) from inside and outside the userform like this :
Public Sub EraseControlsCreatedAtRunTime()
Dim i As Long
On Error Resume Next
With Me.Controls 'removing all on run-time created controls of the Userform :
For i = .Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
.Remove i
Next i
End With
Err.Clear: On Error GoTo 0
Erase ImgArray, Data_Perso
'ReDim ImgArray() As ClsImage ' i tried this, no error but wouldn't work correctly
'ReDim Data_Perso(1 To 9, 1 To 8) As Perso_Type 'without the erase not working, with erase this line is not needed.
End Sub
note : this last sub was first called from outside (other form and class module) with Call FormName.SubName
but had to replace it with Application.Run FormName.SubName
, less errors, don't ask why...
How can I URL encode a string in Excel VBA?

Mid$(buffer, n - 7) = Hex$(128 + ((c \ 4096) Mod 64))
Mid$(buffer, n - 4) = Hex$(128 + ((c \ 64) Mod 64))
Mid$(buffer, n - 1) = Hex$(128 + (c Mod 64))
Case Else ' Escaped UTF-8 3 bytes U+0800 to U+FFFF '

Looks like it could be throwing the error on the empty data row, have you tried to just make sure itemDate isn't empty before you run the CDate() function? I think this might be your problem.
Conditionally formatting cells if their value equals any value of another column

VBA: How to display an error message just like the standard error message which has a "Debug" button?
This answer does not address the Debug button (you'd have to design a form and use the buttons on that to do something like the method in your next question). But it does address this part:
now I don't want to lose the comfortableness of the default handler which also point me to the exact line where the error has occured.
First, I'll assume you don't want this in production code - you want it either for debugging or for code you personally will be using. I use a compiler flag to indicate debugging; then if I'm troubleshooting a program, I can easily find the line that's causing the problem.
# Const IsDebug = True
Sub ProcA()
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
' Main code of proc
ExitHere:
On Error Resume Next
' Close objects and stuff here
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, , ThisWorkbook.Name & ": ProcA"
#If IsDebug Then
Stop ' Used for troubleshooting - Then press F8 to step thru code
Resume ' Resume will take you to the line that errored out
#Else
Resume ExitHere ' Exit procedure during normal running
#End If
End Sub
Note: the exception to Resume
is if the error occurs in a sub-procedure without an error handling routine, then Resume
will take you to the line in this proc that called the sub-procedure with the error. But you can still step into and through the sub-procedure, using F8 until it errors out again. If the sub-procedure's too long to make even that tedious, then your sub-procedure should probably have its own error handling routine.
There are multiple ways to do this. Sometimes for smaller programs where I know I'm gonna be stepping through it anyway when troubleshooting, I just put these lines right after the MsgBox statement:
Resume ExitHere ' Normally exits during production
Resume ' Never will get here
Exit Sub
It will never get to the Resume statement, unless you're stepping through and set it as the next line to be executed, either by dragging the next statement pointer to that line, or by pressing CtrlF9 with the cursor on that line.
Here's an article that expands on these concepts: Five tips for handling errors in VBA. Finally, if you're using VBA and haven't discovered Chip Pearson's awesome site yet, he has a page explaining Error Handling In VBA.
lists and arrays in VBA
You will have to change some of your data types but the basics of what you just posted could be converted to something similar to this given the data types I used may not be accurate.
Dim DateToday As String: DateToday = Format(Date, "yyyy/MM/dd")
Dim Computers As New Collection
Dim disabledList As New Collection
Dim compArray(1 To 1) As String
'Assign data to first item in array
compArray(1) = "asdf"
'Format = Item, Key
Computers.Add "ErrorState", "Computer Name"
'Prints "ErrorState"
Debug.Print Computers("Computer Name")
Collections cannot be sorted so if you need to sort data you will probably want to use an array.
Here is a link to the outlook developer reference.

Another great site to help you get started is
http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/Topic.aspx
Moving everything over to VBA from VB.Net is not going to be simple since not all the data types are the same and you do not have the .Net framework. If you get stuck just post the code you're stuck converting and you will surely get some help!
Edit:

VBA: How to delete filtered rows in Excel?
As an alternative to using UsedRange or providing an explicit range address, the AutoFilter.Range property can also specify the affected range.
ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1,0).Rows.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Delete(xlShiftUp)
As used here, Offset causes the first row after the AutoFilter range to also be deleted. In order to avoid that, I would try using .Resize() after .Offset().
How do I get the old value of a changed cell in Excel VBA?
Just a thought, but Have you tried using application.undo
This will set the values back again. You can then simply read the original value. It should not be too difficult to store the new values first, so you change them back again if you like.
Selecting non-blank cells in Excel with VBA
The following VBA code should get you started. It will copy all of the data in the original workbook to a new workbook, but it will have added 1 to each value, and all blank cells will have been ignored.
Option Explicit
Public Sub exportDataToNewBook()
Dim rowIndex As Integer
Dim colIndex As Integer
Dim dataRange As Range
Dim thisBook As Workbook
Dim newBook As Workbook
Dim newRow As Integer
Dim temp
'// set your data range here
Set dataRange = Sheet1.Range("A1:B100")
'// create a new workbook
Set newBook = Excel.Workbooks.Add
'// loop through the data in book1, one column at a time
For colIndex = 1 To dataRange.Columns.Count
newRow = 0
For rowIndex = 1 To dataRange.Rows.Count
With dataRange.Cells(rowIndex, colIndex)
'// ignore empty cells
If .value <> "" Then
newRow = newRow + 1
temp = doSomethingWith(.value)
newBook.ActiveSheet.Cells(newRow, colIndex).value = temp
End If
End With
Next rowIndex
Next colIndex
End Sub
Private Function doSomethingWith(aValue)
'// This is where you would compute a different value
'// for use in the new workbook
'// In this example, I simply add one to it.
aValue = aValue + 1
doSomethingWith = aValue
End Function
Get the content of a sharepoint folder with Excel VBA
Use the UNC path rather than HTTP. This code works:
Public Sub ListFiles()
Dim folder As folder
Dim f As File
Dim fs As New FileSystemObject
Dim RowCtr As Integer
RowCtr = 1
Set folder = fs.GetFolder("\\SharePointServer\Path\MorePath\DocumentLibrary\Folder")
For Each f In folder.Files
Cells(RowCtr, 1).Value = f.Name
RowCtr = RowCtr + 1
Next f
End Sub
To get the UNC path to use, go into the folder in the document library, drop down the Actions menu and choose Open in Windows Explorer. Copy the path you see there and use that.
When should an Excel VBA variable be killed or set to Nothing?
VB6/VBA uses deterministic approach to destoying objects. Each object stores number of references to itself. When the number reaches zero, the object is destroyed.
Object variables are guaranteed to be cleaned (set to Nothing
) when they go out of scope, this decrements the reference counters in their respective objects. No manual action required.
There are only two cases when you want an explicit cleanup:
When you want an object to be destroyed before its variable goes out of scope (e.g., your procedure is going to take long time to execute, and the object holds a resource, so you want to destroy the object as soon as possible to release the resource).
When you have a circular reference between two or more objects.
If objectA
stores a references to objectB
, and objectB
stores a reference to objectA
, the two objects will never get destroyed unless you brake the chain by explicitly setting objectA.ReferenceToB = Nothing
or objectB.ReferenceToA = Nothing
.
The code snippet you show is wrong. No manual cleanup is required. It is even harmful to do a manual cleanup, as it gives you a false sense of more correct code.
If you have a variable at a class level, it will be cleaned/destroyed when the class instance is destructed. You can destroy it earlier if you want (see item 1.
).
If you have a variable at a module level, it will be cleaned/destroyed when your program exits (or, in case of VBA, when the VBA project is reset). You can destroy it earlier if you want (see item 1.
).
Access level of a variable (public vs. private) does not affect its life time.
Hashset vs Treeset
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;
public class HashTreeSetCompare {
//It is generally faster to add elements to the HashSet and then
//convert the collection to a TreeSet for a duplicate-free sorted
//Traversal.
//really?
O(Hash + tree set) > O(tree set) ??
Really???? Why?
public static void main(String args[]) {
int size = 80000;
useHashThenTreeSet(size);
useTreeSetOnly(size);
}
private static void useTreeSetOnly(int size) {
System.out.println("useTreeSetOnly: ");
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
Set<String> sortedSet = new TreeSet<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
sortedSet.add(i + "");
}
//System.out.println(sortedSet);
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("useTreeSetOnly: " + (end - start));
}
private static void useHashThenTreeSet(int size) {
System.out.println("useHashThenTreeSet: ");
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
set.add(i + "");
}
Set<String> sortedSet = new TreeSet<String>(set);
//System.out.println(sortedSet);
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("useHashThenTreeSet: " + (end - start));
}
}
Replace X-axis with own values
Not sure if it's what you mean, but you can do this:
plot(1:10, xaxt = "n", xlab='Some Letters')
axis(1, at=1:10, labels=letters[1:10])
which then gives you the graph:
Getting the "real" Facebook profile picture URL from graph API
ImageView user_picture;

URL img_value = null;
img_value = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture?type=large");
Bitmap mIcon1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(img_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
userpicture.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
Where ID is one your profile ID.
Comparing strings, c++
Regarding the question,
” can someone explain why the compare()
function exists if a comparison can be made using simple operands?
Relative to <
and ==
, the compare
function is conceptually simpler and in practice it can be more efficient since it avoids two comparisons per item for ordinary ordering of items.
As an example of simplicity, for small integer values you can write a compare function like this:
auto compare( int a, int b ) -> int { return a - b; }
which is highly efficient.
Now for a structure
struct Foo
{
int a;
int b;
int c;
};
auto compare( Foo const& x, Foo const& y )
-> int
{
if( int const r = compare( x.a, y.a ) ) { return r; }
if( int const r = compare( x.b, y.b ) ) { return r; }
return compare( x.c, y.c );
}
Trying to express this lexicographic compare directly in terms of <
you wind up with horrendous complexity and inefficiency, relatively speaking.
With C++11, for the simplicity alone ordinary less-than comparison based lexicographic compare can be very simply implemented in terms of tuple comparison.
What is the height of Navigation Bar in iOS 7?
There is a difference between the navigation bar and the status bar. The confusing part is that it looks like one solid feature at the top of the screen, but the areas can actually be separated into two distinct views; a status bar and a navigation bar. The status bar spans from y=0 to y=20 points and the navigation bar spans from y=20 to y=64 points. So the navigation bar (which is where the page title and navigation buttons go) has a height of 44 points, but the status bar and navigation bar together have a total height of 64 points.
Here is a great resource that addresses this question along with a number of other sizing idiosyncrasies in iOS7:

How to give a Linux user sudo access?
Edit /etc/sudoers
file either manually or using the visudo application.
Remember: System reads /etc/sudoers
file from top to the bottom, so you could overwrite a particular setting by putting the next one below.
So to be on the safe side - define your access setting at the bottom.
Regex not operator
You could capture the (2001)
part and replace the rest with nothing.
public static string extractYearString(string input) {
return input.replaceAll(".*\(([0-9]{4})\).*", "$1");
}
var subject = "(2001) (asdf) (dasd1123_asd 21.01.2011 zqge)(dzqge) name (20019)";
var result = extractYearString(subject);
System.out.println(result); // <-- "2001"
.*\(([0-9]{4})\).*
means
.*
match anything
\(
match a (
character
(
begin capture
[0-9]{4}
any single digit four times
)
end capture
\)
match a )
character
.*
anything (rest of string)

What does question mark and dot operator ?. mean in C# 6.0?
It's the null conditional operator. It basically means:
"Evaluate the first operand; if that's null, stop, with a result of null. Otherwise, evaluate the second operand (as a member access of the first operand)."
In your example, the point is that if a
is null
, then a?.PropertyOfA
will evaluate to null
rather than throwing an exception - it will then compare that null
reference with foo
(using string's ==
overload), find they're not equal and execution will go into the body of the if
statement.
In other words, it's like this:
string bar = (a == null ? null : a.PropertyOfA);
if (bar != foo)
{
...
}
... except that a
is only evaluated once.
Note that this can change the type of the expression, too. For example, consider FileInfo.Length
. That's a property of type long
, but if you use it with the null conditional operator, you end up with an expression of type long?
:
FileInfo fi = ...; // fi could be null
long? length = fi?.Length; // If fi is null, length will be null
how to count the spaces in a java string?
The code you provided would print the number of tabs, not the number of spaces. The below function should count the number of whitespace characters in a given string.
int countSpaces(String string) {
int spaces = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {
spaces += (Character.isWhitespace(string.charAt(i))) ? 1 : 0;
}
return spaces;
}

Unnamed/anonymous namespaces vs. static functions
Having learned of this feature only just now while reading your question, I can only speculate. This seems to provide several advantages over a file-level static variable:
- Anonymous namespaces can be nested within one another, providing multiple levels of protection from which symbols can not escape.
- Several anonymous namespaces could be placed in the same source file, creating in effect different static-level scopes within the same file.
I'd be interested in learning if anyone has used anonymous namespaces in real code.
C++ - How to append a char to char*?
The function name does not reflect the semantic of the function. In fact you do not append a character. You create a new character array that contains the original array plus the given character. So if you indeed need a function that appends a character to a character array I would write it the following way
bool AppendCharToCharArray( char *array, size_t n, char c )
{
size_t sz = std::strlen( array );
if ( sz + 1 < n )
{
array[sz] = c;
array[sz + 1] = '\0';
}
return ( sz + 1 < n );
}
If you need a function that will contain a copy of the original array plus the given character then it could look the following way
char * CharArrayPlusChar( const char *array, char c )
{
size_t sz = std::strlen( array );
char *s = new char[sz + 2];
std::strcpy( s, array );
s[sz] = c;
s[sz + 1] = '\0';
return ( s );
}
What are the differences between ArrayList and Vector?
Differences
- Vectors are synchronized, ArrayLists
are not.
- Data Growth Methods
Use ArrayLists if there is no specific requirement to use Vectors.
Synchronization
If multiple threads access an ArrayList concurrently then we must externally synchronize the block of code which modifies the list either structurally or simply modifies an element. Structural modification means addition or deletion of element(s) from the list. Setting the value of an existing element is not a structural modification.
Collections.synchronizedList
is normally used at the time of creation of the list to avoid any accidental unsynchronized access to the list.
Reference
Data growth
Internally, both the ArrayList and Vector hold onto their contents using an Array. When an element is inserted into an ArrayList or a Vector, the object will need to expand its internal array if it runs out of room. A Vector defaults to doubling the size of its array, while the ArrayList increases its array size by 50 percent.

Elegant ways to support equivalence ("equality") in Python classes
You don't have to override both __eq__
and __ne__
you can override only __cmp__
but this will make an implication on the result of ==, !==, < , > and so on.
is
tests for object identity. This means a is
b will be True
in the case when a and b both hold the reference to the same object. In python you always hold a reference to an object in a variable not the actual object, so essentially for a is b to be true the objects in them should be located in the same memory location. How and most importantly why would you go about overriding this behaviour?
Edit: I didn't know __cmp__
was removed from python 3 so avoid it.
How to combine 2 plots (ggplot) into one plot?
Creating a single combined plot with your current data set up would look something like this
p <- ggplot() +
# blue plot
geom_point(data=visual1, aes(x=ISSUE_DATE, y=COUNTED)) +
geom_smooth(data=visual1, aes(x=ISSUE_DATE, y=COUNTED), fill="blue",
colour="darkblue", size=1) +
# red plot
geom_point(data=visual2, aes(x=ISSUE_DATE, y=COUNTED)) +
geom_smooth(data=visual2, aes(x=ISSUE_DATE, y=COUNTED), fill="red",
colour="red", size=1)
however if you could combine the data sets before plotting then ggplot will
automatically give you a legend, and in general the code looks a bit cleaner
visual1$group <- 1
visual2$group <- 2
visual12 <- rbind(visual1, visual2)
p <- ggplot(visual12, aes(x=ISSUE_DATE, y=COUNTED, group=group, col=group, fill=group)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(size=1)
How to open this .DB file?
I don't think there is a way to tell which program to use from just the .db extension. It could even be an encrypted database which can't be opened. You can MS Access, or a sqlite manager.
Edit:
Try to rename the file to .txt and open it with a text editor. The first couple of words in the file could tell you the DB Type.
If it is a SQLite database, it will start with "SQLite format 3"
Java 8 Stream and operation on arrays
Be careful if you have to deal with large numbers.
int[] arr = new int[]{Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MIN_VALUE};
long sum = Arrays.stream(arr).sum(); // Wrong: sum == 0
The sum above is not 2 * Integer.MIN_VALUE
.
You need to do this in this case.
long sum = Arrays.stream(arr).mapToLong(Long::valueOf).sum(); // Correct
Pandas: rolling mean by time interval
I just had the same question but with irregularly spaced datapoints. Resample is not really an option here. So I created my own function. Maybe it will be useful for others too:
from pandas import Series, DataFrame
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import numpy as np
def rolling_mean(data, window, min_periods=1, center=False):
''' Function that computes a rolling mean
Parameters
----------
data : DataFrame or Series
If a DataFrame is passed, the rolling_mean is computed for all columns.
window : int or string
If int is passed, window is the number of observations used for calculating
the statistic, as defined by the function pd.rolling_mean()
If a string is passed, it must be a frequency string, e.g. '90S'. This is
internally converted into a DateOffset object, representing the window size.
min_periods : int
Minimum number of observations in window required to have a value.
Returns
-------
Series or DataFrame, if more than one column
'''
def f(x):
'''Function to apply that actually computes the rolling mean'''
if center == False:
dslice = col[x-pd.datetools.to_offset(window).delta+timedelta(0,0,1):x]
# adding a microsecond because when slicing with labels start and endpoint
# are inclusive
else:
dslice = col[x-pd.datetools.to_offset(window).delta/2+timedelta(0,0,1):
x+pd.datetools.to_offset(window).delta/2]
if dslice.size < min_periods:
return np.nan
else:
return dslice.mean()
data = DataFrame(data.copy())
dfout = DataFrame()
if isinstance(window, int):
dfout = pd.rolling_mean(data, window, min_periods=min_periods, center=center)
elif isinstance(window, basestring):
idx = Series(data.index.to_pydatetime(), index=data.index)
for colname, col in data.iterkv():
result = idx.apply(f)
result.name = colname
dfout = dfout.join(result, how='outer')
if dfout.columns.size == 1:
dfout = dfout.ix[:,0]
return dfout
# Example
idx = [datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 0),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 1),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 1, 30),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 2),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 4),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 5),

datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 8),
datetime(2011, 2, 7, 0, 9)]
idx = pd.Index(idx)
vals = np.arange(len(idx)).astype(float)
s = Series(vals, index=idx)
rm = rolling_mean(s, window='2min')
How to change shape color dynamically?
The simplest way to fill the shape with the Radius is:

android:background="@drawable/test"
android:layout_height="45dp"

android:text="Moderate"/>
Java:
(textView.getBackground()).setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#FFDE03"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
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.
How to calculate sum of a formula field in crystal Reports?
The only reason that I know of why a formula wouldn't be available to summarize on is if it didn't reference any database fields or whose value wasn't dynamic throughout sections of the report. For example, if you have a formula that returns a constant it won't be available. Or if it only references a field that is set throughout the report and returns a value based on that field, like "if {parameter}=1 then 1" would not be available either.
In general, the formula's value should not be static through the sections of the report you're summarizing over (Though the way Crystal determines this is beyond me and this doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule)
EDIT: One other reason why a formula wouldn't be available is if you're already using a summary function in that formula. Only one level of summaries at a time!
Type datetime for input parameter in procedure
In this part of your SP:
IF @DateFirst <> '' and @DateLast <> ''
set @FinalSQL = @FinalSQL
+ ' or convert (Date,DateLog) >= ''' + @DateFirst
+ ' and convert (Date,DateLog) <=''' + @DateLast
you are trying to concatenate strings and datetimes.
As the datetime
type has higher priority than varchar
/nvarchar
, the +
operator, when it happens between a string and a datetime, is interpreted as addition, not as concatenation, and the engine then tries to convert your string parts (' or convert (Date,DateLog) >= '''
and others) to datetime or numeric values. And fails.
That doesn't happen if you omit the last two parameters when invoking the procedure, because the condition evaluates to false and the offending statement isn't executed.
To amend the situation, you need to add explicit casting of your datetime variables to strings:
set @FinalSQL = @FinalSQL
+ ' or convert (Date,DateLog) >= ''' + convert(date, @DateFirst)
+ ' and convert (Date,DateLog) <=''' + convert(date, @DateLast)
You'll also need to add closing single quotes:
set @FinalSQL = @FinalSQL
+ ' or convert (Date,DateLog) >= ''' + convert(date, @DateFirst) + ''''
+ ' and convert (Date,DateLog) <=''' + convert(date, @DateLast) + ''''
Fatal error: Call to a member function bind_param() on boolean
Sometimes explicitly stating your table column names (especially in an insert query) may help. For example, the query:
INSERT INTO tableName(param1, param2, param3) VALUES(?, ?, ?)
may work better as opposed to:
INSERT INTO tableName VALUES(?, ?, ?)
Testing if value is a function
Well, "return valid();"
is a string, so that's correct.
If you want to check if it has a function attached instead, you could try this:
formId.onsubmit = function (){ /* */ }
if(typeof formId.onsubmit == "function"){
alert("it's a function!");
}
Invoke a second script with arguments from a script
Invoke-Expression
should work perfectly, just make sure you are using it correctly. For your case it should look like this:
Invoke-Expression "$scriptPath $argumentList"
I tested this approach with Get-Service and seems to be working as expected.
How to add a bot to a Telegram Group?
Edit: now there is yet an easier way to do this - when creating your group, just mention the full bot name (eg. @UniversalAgent1Bot) and it will list it as you type. Then you can just tap on it to add it.
Old answer:
- Create a new group from the menu. Don't add any bots yet
- Find the bot (for instance you can go to Contacts and search for it)
- Tap to open
- Tap the bot name on the top bar. Your page becomes like this:
- Now, tap the triple ... and you will get the Add to Group button:
- Now select your group and add the bot - and confirm the addition
How to copy a char array in C?
You cannot assign arrays, the names are constants that cannot be changed.
You can copy the contents, with:
strcpy(array2, array1);
assuming the source is a valid string and that the destination is large enough, as in your example.
Removing duplicates in the lists
Reduce variant with ordering preserve:
Assume that we have list:
l = [5, 6, 6, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4]
Reduce variant (unefficient):
>>> reduce(lambda r, v: v in r and r or r + [v], l, [])
[5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4]
5 x faster but more sophisticated
>>> reduce(lambda r, v: v in r[1] and r or (r[0].append(v) or r[1].add(v)) or r, l, ([], set()))[0]
[5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Explanation:
default = (list(), set())
# user list to keep order
# use set to make lookup faster
def reducer(result, item):
if item not in result[1]:
result[0].append(item)
result[1].add(item)
return result
reduce(reducer, l, default)[0]
What are the main differences between JWT and OAuth authentication?
TL;DR
If you have very simple scenarios, like a single client application, a single API then it might not pay off to go OAuth 2.0, on the other hand, lots of different clients (browser-based, native mobile, server-side, etc) then sticking to OAuth 2.0 rules might make it more manageable than trying to roll your own system.
As stated in another answer, JWT (Learn JSON Web Tokens) is just a token format, it defines a compact and self-contained mechanism for transmitting data between parties in a way that can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. Additionally, the encoding rules of a JWT also make these tokens very easy to use within the context of HTTP.
Being self-contained (the actual token contains information about a given subject) they are also a good choice for implementing stateless authentication mechanisms (aka Look mum, no sessions!). When going this route and the only thing a party must present to be granted access to a protected resource is the token itself, the token in question can be called a bearer token.
In practice, what you're doing can already be classified as based on bearer tokens. However, do consider that you're not using bearer tokens as specified by the OAuth 2.0 related specs (see RFC 6750). That would imply, relying on the Authorization
HTTP header and using the Bearer
authentication scheme.
Regarding the use of the JWT to prevent CSRF without knowing exact details it's difficult to ascertain the validity of that practice, but to be honest it does not seem correct and/or worthwhile. The following article (Cookies vs Tokens: The Definitive Guide) may be a useful read on this subject, particularly the XSS and XSRF Protection section.
One final piece of advice, even if you don't need to go full OAuth 2.0, I would strongly recommend on passing your access token within the Authorization
header instead of going with custom headers. If they are really bearer tokens, follow the rules of RFC 6750. If not, you can always create a custom authentication scheme and still use that header.
Authorization headers are recognized and specially treated by HTTP proxies and servers. Thus, the usage of such headers for sending access tokens to resource servers reduces the likelihood of leakage or unintended storage of authenticated requests in general, and especially Authorization headers.
(source: RFC 6819, section 5.4.1)
AngularJS not detecting Access-Control-Allow-Origin header?
I just ran into this problem today. It turned out that a bug on the server (null pointer exception) was causing it to fail in creating a response, yet it still generated an HTTP status code of 200. Because of the 200 status code, Chrome expected a valid response. The first thing that Chrome did was to look for the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header, which it did not find. Chrome then cancelled the request, and Angular gave me an error. The bug during processing the POST request is the reason why the OPTIONS would succeed, but the POST would fail.
In short, if you see this error, it may be that your server didn't return any headers at all in response to the POST request.
Trim spaces from end of a NSString
The solution is described here: How to remove whitespace from right end of NSString?
Add the following categories to NSString:
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
NSRange rangeOfLastWantedCharacter = [self rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[characterSet invertedSet]
options:NSBackwardsSearch];
if (rangeOfLastWantedCharacter.location == NSNotFound) {
return @"";
}
return [self substringToIndex:rangeOfLastWantedCharacter.location+1]; // non-inclusive
}
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters {
return [self stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet:
[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
}
And you use it as such:
[yourNSString stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters]
Pip error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required

Java recursive Fibonacci sequence
There are 2 issues with your code:
- The result is stored in int which can handle only a first 48 fibonacci numbers, after this the integer fill minus bit and result is wrong.
- But you never can run fibonacci(50).
The code
fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)
is very wrong.
The problem is that the it calls fibonacci not 50 times but much more.
At first it calls fibonacci(49)+fibonacci(48),
next fibonacci(48)+fibonacci(47) and fibonacci(47)+fibonacci(46)
Each time it became fibonacci(n) worse, so the complexity is exponential.
The approach to non-recursive code:
double fibbonaci(int n){
double prev=0d, next=1d, result=0d;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
result=prev+next;
prev=next;
next=result;
}
return result;
}
Eclipse Workspaces: What for and why?
Basically the scope of workspace(s) is divided in two points.
First point (and primary) is the eclipse it self and is related with the settings and metadata configurations (plugin ctr). Each time you create a project, eclipse collects all the configurations and stores them on that workspace and if somehow in the same workspace a conflicting project is present you might loose some functionality or even stability of eclipse it self.
And second (secondary) the point of development strategy one can adopt.
Once the primary scope is met (and mastered) and there's need for further adjustments regarding project relations (as libraries, perspectives ctr) then initiate separate workspace(s) could be appropriate based on development habits or possible language/frameworks "behaviors".
DLTK for examples is a beast that should be contained in a separate cage.
Lots of complains at forums for it stopped working (properly or not at all) and suggested solution was to clean the settings of the equivalent plugin from the current workspace.
Personally, I found myself lean more to language distinction when it comes to separate workspaces which is relevant to known issues that comes with the current state of the plugins are used. Preferably I keep them in the minimum numbers as this is leads to less frustration when the projects are become... plenty and version control is not the only version you keep your projects.
Finally, loading speed and performance is an issue that might come up if lots of (unnecessary) plugins are loaded due to presents of irrelevant projects.
Bottom line; there is no one solution to every one, no master blue print that solves the issue. It's something that grows with experience,
Less is more though!
How do I convert a list into a string with spaces in Python?
I'll throw this in as an alternative just for the heck of it, even though it's pretty much useless when compared to " ".join(my_list)
for strings. For non-strings (such as an array of ints) this may be better:
" ".join(str(item) for item in my_list)
How to use MySQL DECIMAL?
Although the answers above seems correct, just a simple explanation to give you an idea of how it works.
Suppose that your column is set to be DECIMAL(13,4)
. This means that the column will have a total size of 13 digits where 4 of these will be used for precision representation.
So, in summary, for that column you would have a max value of: 999999999.9999
how to set radio button checked in edit mode in MVC razor view

Bootstrap 3 offset on right not left
I modified Bootstrap SASS (v3.3.5) based on Rukshan's answer
Add this in the end of the calc-grid-column
mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss
, right below the $type == offset
if condition.
@if ($type == offset-right) {
.col-#{$class}-offset-right-#{$index} {
margin-right: percentage(($index / $grid-columns));
}
}
Modify the make-grid
mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss
to generate the offset-right
classes.
// Create grid for specific class
@mixin make-grid($class) {
@include float-grid-columns($class);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, width);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, pull);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, push);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset-right);
}
You can then use the classes like col-sm-offset-right-2
and col-md-offset-right-1
How to access a RowDataPacket object
going off of jan's answer of shallow-copying the object, another clean implementation using map function,
High level of what this solution does: iterate through all the rows and copy the rows as valid js objects.
// function will be used on every row returned by the query
const objectifyRawPacket = row => ({...row});
// iterate over all items and convert the raw packet row -> js object
const convertedResponse = results.map(objectifyRawPacket);
We leveraged the array map function: it will go over every item in the array, use the item as input to the function, and insert the output of the function into the array you're assigning.
more specifically on the objectifyRawPacket function: each time it's called its seeing the "{ RawDataPacket }" from the source array. These objects act a lot like normal objects - the "..." (spread) operator copies items from the array after the periods - essentially copying the items into the object it's being called in.
The parens around the spread operator on the function are necessary to implicitly return an object from an arrow function.
Waiting till the async task finish its work
I think the easiest way is to create an interface to get the data from onpostexecute and run the Ui from interface :
Create an Interface :
public interface AsyncResponse {
void processFinish(String output);
}
Then in asynctask
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
delegate.processFinish(data);
}
Then in yout main activity
@Override
public void processFinish(String data) {
// do things
}
How to use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
But do remember to place it BEFORE PROJECT(< project_name>) command,
otherwise it will not work!
My first week of using cmake - after some years of GNU autotools - so I am still learning (better then writing m4 macros), but I think modifying CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX after setting project is the better place.
CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)
set (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /foo/bar/bubba)
message("CIP = ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} (should be /foo/bar/bubba")
project (BarkBark)
message("CIP = ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} (should be /foo/bar/bubba")
set (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /foo/bar/bubba)
message("CIP = ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} (should be /foo/bar/bubba")
First run (no cache)
CIP = /foo/bar/bubba (should be /foo/bar/bubba
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.4.7
-- etc, etc,...
CIP = /usr/local (should be /foo/bar/bubba
CIP = /foo/bar/bubba (should be /foo/bar/bubba
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
Second run
CIP = /foo/bar/bubba (should be /foo/bar/bubba
CIP = /foo/bar/bubba (should be /foo/bar/bubba
CIP = /foo/bar/bubba (should be /foo/bar/bubba
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
Let me know if I am mistaken, I have a lot of learning to do. It's fun.
Why doesn't list have safe "get" method like dictionary?
This works if you want the first element, like my_list.get(0)
>>> my_list = [1,2,3]
>>> next(iter(my_list), 'fail')
1
>>> my_list = []
>>> next(iter(my_list), 'fail')
'fail'
I know it's not exactly what you asked for but it might help others.
Reference requirements.txt for the install_requires kwarg in setuptools setup.py file
Cross posting my answer from this SO question for another simple, pip version proof solution.
try: # for pip >= 10
from pip._internal.req import parse_requirements
from pip._internal.download import PipSession
except ImportError: # for pip <= 9.0.3
from pip.req import parse_requirements
from pip.download import PipSession
requirements = parse_requirements(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'requirements.txt'), session=PipSession())
if __name__ == '__main__':
setup(
...
install_requires=[str(requirement.req) for requirement in requirements],
...
)
Then just throw in all your requirements under requirements.txt
under project root directory.
Execution order of events when pressing PrimeFaces p:commandButton
It failed because you used ajax="false"
. This fires a full synchronous request which in turn causes a full page reload, causing the oncomplete
to be never fired (note that all other ajax-related attributes like process
, onstart
, onsuccess
, onerror
and update
are also never fired).
That it worked when you removed actionListener
is also impossible. It should have failed the same way. Perhaps you also removed ajax="false"
along it without actually understanding what you were doing. Removing ajax="false"
should indeed achieve the desired requirement.
Also is it possible to execute actionlistener and oncomplete simultaneously?
No. The script can only be fired before or after the action listener. You can use onclick
to fire the script at the moment of the click. You can use onstart
to fire the script at the moment the ajax request is about to be sent. But they will never exactly simultaneously be fired. The sequence is as follows:
- User clicks button in client
onclick
JavaScript code is executed
- JavaScript prepares ajax request based on
process
and current HTML DOM tree
onstart
JavaScript code is executed
- JavaScript sends ajax request from client to server
- JSF retrieves ajax request
- JSF processes the request lifecycle on JSF component tree based on
process
actionListener
JSF backing bean method is executed
action
JSF backing bean method is executed
- JSF prepares ajax response based on
update
and current JSF component tree
- JSF sends ajax response from server to client
- JavaScript retrieves ajax response
- if HTTP response status is 200,
onsuccess
JavaScript code is executed
- else if HTTP response status is 500,
onerror
JavaScript code is executed
- JavaScript performs
update
based on ajax response and current HTML DOM tree
oncomplete
JavaScript code is executed
Note that the update
is performed after actionListener
, so if you were using onclick
or onstart
to show the dialog, then it may still show old content instead of updated content, which is poor for user experience. You'd then better use oncomplete
instead to show the dialog. Also note that you'd better use action
instead of actionListener
when you intend to execute a business action.

void transit(Action action);
}
IState: The public interface to get state related info
such as state name and mappings to connected states.
interface IState {
// Returns the mapping for which one action will lead to another state
Map<String, IState> getAdjacentStates();
String getStateDesc();
void addTransit(Action action, IState nextState);
void removeTransit(String targetStateDesc);
}
Action: the class which will cause the transition of states.
public class Action {
private String mActionName;
public Action(String actionName) {
mActionName = actionName;
}
String getActionName() {
return mActionName;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return mActionName;
}
}
StateImpl: the implementation of IState. I applied data structure such as HashMap to keep Action-State mappings.
public class StateImpl implements IState {
private HashMap<String, IState> mMapping = new HashMap<>();
private String mStateName;
public StateImpl(String stateName) {
mStateName = stateName;
}
@Override
public Map<String, IState> getAdjacentStates() {
return mMapping;
}
@Override
public String getStateDesc() {
return mStateName;
}
@Override
public void addTransit(Action action, IState state) {
mMapping.put(action.toString(), state);
}
@Override
public void removeTransit(String targetStateDesc) {
// get action which directs to target state
String targetAction = null;
for (Map.Entry<String, IState> entry : mMapping.entrySet()) {
IState state = entry.getValue();
if (state.getStateDesc().equals(targetStateDesc)) {
targetAction = entry.getKey();
}
}
mMapping.remove(targetAction);
}
}
FiniteStateMachineImpl: Implementation of IFiniteStateMachine. I use ArrayList to keep all the states.
public class FiniteStateMachineImpl implements IFiniteStateMachine {
private IState mStartState;
private IState mEndState;
private IState mCurrentState;
private ArrayList<IState> mAllStates = new ArrayList<>();
private HashMap<String, ArrayList<IState>> mMapForAllStates = new HashMap<>();
public FiniteStateMachineImpl(){}
@Override
public void setStartState(IState startState) {
mStartState = startState;
mCurrentState = startState;
mAllStates.add(startState);
// todo: might have some value
mMapForAllStates.put(startState.getStateDesc(), new ArrayList<IState>());
}
@Override
public void setEndState(IState endState) {
mEndState = endState;
mAllStates.add(endState);
mMapForAllStates.put(endState.getStateDesc(), new ArrayList<IState>());
}
@Override
public void addState(IState startState, IState newState, Action action) {
// validate startState, newState and action
// update mapping in finite state machine
mAllStates.add(newState);
final String startStateDesc = startState.getStateDesc();
final String newStateDesc = newState.getStateDesc();
mMapForAllStates.put(newStateDesc, new ArrayList<IState>());
ArrayList<IState> adjacentStateList = null;
if (mMapForAllStates.containsKey(startStateDesc)) {
adjacentStateList = mMapForAllStates.get(startStateDesc);
adjacentStateList.add(newState);
} else {
mAllStates.add(startState);
adjacentStateList = new ArrayList<>();
adjacentStateList.add(newState);
}
mMapForAllStates.put(startStateDesc, adjacentStateList);
// update mapping in startState
for (IState state : mAllStates) {
boolean isStartState = state.getStateDesc().equals(startState.getStateDesc());
if (isStartState) {
startState.addTransit(action, newState);
}
}
}
@Override
public void removeState(String targetStateDesc) {
// validate state
if (!mMapForAllStates.containsKey(targetStateDesc)) {
throw new RuntimeException("Don't have state: " + targetStateDesc);
} else {
// remove from mapping
mMapForAllStates.remove(targetStateDesc);
}
// update all state
IState targetState = null;
for (IState state : mAllStates) {
if (state.getStateDesc().equals(targetStateDesc)) {
targetState = state;
} else {
state.removeTransit(targetStateDesc);
}
}
mAllStates.remove(targetState);
}
@Override
public IState getCurrentState() {
return mCurrentState;
}
@Override
public void transit(Action action) {
if (mCurrentState == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("Please setup start state");
}
Map<String, IState> localMapping = mCurrentState.getAdjacentStates();
if (localMapping.containsKey(action.toString())) {
mCurrentState = localMapping.get(action.toString());
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("No action start from current state");
}
}
@Override
public IState getStartState() {
return mStartState;
}
@Override
public IState getEndState() {
return mEndState;
}
}
example:
public class example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Finite state machine!!!");
IState startState = new StateImpl("start");
IState endState = new StateImpl("end");
IFiniteStateMachine fsm = new FiniteStateMachineImpl();
fsm.setStartState(startState);
fsm.setEndState(endState);
IState middle1 = new StateImpl("middle1");
middle1.addTransit(new Action("path1"), endState);
fsm.addState(startState, middle1, new Action("path1"));
System.out.println(fsm.getCurrentState().getStateDesc());
fsm.transit(new Action(("path1")));
System.out.println(fsm.getCurrentState().getStateDesc());
fsm.addState(middle1, endState, new Action("path1-end"));
fsm.transit(new Action(("path1-end")));
System.out.println(fsm.getCurrentState().getStateDesc());
fsm.addState(endState, middle1, new Action("path1-end"));

How do I wrap text in a span?
You should use white-space with display table
Example:
legend {
display:table; /* Enable line-wrapping in IE8+ */
white-space:normal; /* Enable line-wrapping in old versions of some other browsers */
}
S3 limit to objects in a bucket
It looks like the limit has changed. You can store 5TB for a single object.
The total volume of data and number of objects you can store are unlimited. Individual Amazon S3 objects can range in size from a minimum of 0 bytes to a maximum of 5 terabytes. The largest object that can be uploaded in a single PUT is 5 gigabytes. For objects larger than 100 megabytes, customers should consider using the Multipart Upload capability.

Align printf output in Java
A simple solution that springs to mind is to have a String
block of spaces:
String indent = " "; // 20 spaces.
When printing out a string, compute the actual indent and add it to the end:
String output = "Newspaper";
output += indent.substring(0, indent.length - output.length);
This will mediate the number of spaces to the string, and put them all in the same column.
How to validate an email address using a regular expression?
^[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*\.(([0-9]{1,3})|([a-zA-Z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))$
This matches 99.99% of email addresses, including some of the newer top-level-domain extensions, such as info, museum, name, etc. It also allows for emails tied directly to IP addresses.
Get an object's class name at runtime
Solution using Decorators that survives minification/uglification
We use code generation to decorate our Entity classes with metadata like so:
@name('Customer')
export class Customer {
public custId: string;
public name: string;
}
Then consume with the following helper:
export const nameKey = Symbol('name');
/**
* To perserve class name though mangling.
* @example
* @name('Customer')
* class Customer {}
* @param className
*/
export function name(className: string): ClassDecorator {
return (Reflect as any).metadata(nameKey, className);
}
/**
* @example
* const type = Customer;
* getName(type); // 'Customer'
* @param type
*/
export function getName(type: Function): string {
return (Reflect as any).getMetadata(nameKey, type);
}
/**
* @example
* const instance = new Customer();
* getInstanceName(instance); // 'Customer'
* @param instance
*/
export function getInstanceName(instance: Object): string {
return (Reflect as any).getMetadata(nameKey, instance.constructor);
}
Extra info:
- You may need to install
reflect-metadata
reflect-metadata
is pollyfill written by members ot TypeScript for the proposed ES7 Reflection API
- The proposal for decorators in JS can be tracked here
Username and password in https url
When you put the username and password in front of the host, this data is not sent that way to the server. It is instead transformed to a request header depending on the authentication schema used. Most of the time this is going to be Basic Auth which I describe below. A similar (but significantly less often used) authentication scheme is Digest Auth which nowadays provides comparable security features.
With Basic Auth, the HTTP request from the question will look something like this:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Authorization: Basic Zm9vOnBhc3N3b3Jk
The hash like string you see there is created by the browser like this: base64_encode(username + ":" + password)
.
To outsiders of the HTTPS transfer, this information is hidden (as everything else on the HTTP level). You should take care of logging on the client and all intermediate servers though. The username will normally be shown in server logs, but the password won't. This is not guaranteed though. When you call that URL on the client with e.g. curl
, the username and password will be clearly visible on the process list and might turn up in the bash history file.
When you send passwords in a GET request as e.g. http://example.com/login.php?username=me&password=secure the username and password will always turn up in server logs of your webserver, application server, caches, ... unless you specifically configure your servers to not log it. This only applies to servers being able to read the unencrypted http data, like your application server or any middleboxes such as loadbalancers, CDNs, proxies, etc. though.
Basic auth is standardized and implemented by browsers by showing this little username/password popup you might have seen already. When you put the username/password into an HTML form sent via GET or POST, you have to implement all the login/logout logic yourself (which might be an advantage and allows you to more control over the login/logout flow for the added "cost" of having to implement this securely again). But you should never transfer usernames and passwords by GET parameters. If you have to, use POST instead. The prevents the logging of this data by default.
When implementing an authentication mechanism with a user/password entry form and a subsequent cookie-based session as it is commonly used today, you have to make sure that the password is either transported with POST requests or one of the standardized authentication schemes above only.
Concluding I could say, that transfering data that way over HTTPS is likely safe, as long as you take care that the password does not turn up in unexpected places. But that advice applies to every transfer of any password in any way.
PHP Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
I found the reason why the connection was not working, it was because the connection was trying to connect to port 8888, when it needed to connect to port 8889.
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;port=8889;dbname=AppDatabase", $username, $password);
This fixed the problem, although changing the server name to localhost still gives the error.
Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory
But it connects successfully when the IP address is entered for the server name.
Keep placeholder text in UITextField on input in IOS
Instead of using the placeholder text, you'll want to set the actual text
property of the field to MM/YYYY, set the delegate of the text field and listen for this method:
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string { // update the text of the label }
Inside that method, you can figure out what the user has typed as they type, which will allow you to update the label accordingly.

What is the difference between x86 and x64
x86 is a family of backward-compatible instruction set architectures based on the Intel 8086 CPU and its Intel 8088 variant.
An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It is also referred to as architecture or computer architecture.
A realization of an ISA is called an implementation. An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.
Software that has been written for an ISA can run on different implementations of the same ISA (Exp: 32bit or 64bit). This has enabled binary compatibility between different generations of computers to be easily achieved, and the development of computer families.
Both of these developments have helped to lower the cost of computers and to increase their applicability. For these reasons, the ISA is one of the most important abstractions in computing today.
How to hide the soft keyboard from inside a fragment?
Use this static method, from anywhere (Activity / Fragment) you like.
public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
try{
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
View currentFocusedView = activity.getCurrentFocus();
if (currentFocusedView != null) {
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(currentFocusedView.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
If you want to use for fragment just call hideKeyboard(((Activity) getActivity()))
.
Call a function on click event in Angular 2
Exact transfer to Angular2+ is as below:
<button (click)="myFunc()"></button>
also in your component file:
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
templateUrl:"button.html" //this is the component which has the above button html
})
export class App implements OnInit{
constructor(){}
ngOnInit(){
}
myFunc(){
console.log("function called");
}
}
Android ListView not refreshing after notifyDataSetChanged

adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
How can I change default dialog button text color in android 5
Using styles.xml (value)
Very Easy solution , change colorPrimary as your choice and it will change color of button text of alert box.
<style name="MyAlertDialogStyle" parent="android:Theme.Material.Dialog.Alert">
<!-- Used for the buttons -->
<item name="colorAccent">@android:color/white</item>
<!-- Used for the title and text -->
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/black</item>
<!-- Used for the background -->
<item name="android:background">#ffffff</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/bottom_left_enter</item>
</style>
Alternative (Using Java)
@SuppressLint("ResourceAsColor")
public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, final JsResult result) {
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(view.getContext(), R.style.MyAlertDialogStyle)
.setTitle("Royal Frolics")
.setIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setMessage(message)
.setPositiveButton("OK", (dialog1, which) -> {
//do nothing
result.confirm();
}).create();
Objects.requireNonNull(dialog.getWindow()).getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.MyAlertDialogStyle;
dialog.show();
dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setTextColor(R.color.white);
return true;
}
Javascript .querySelector find <div> by innerTEXT
Since you have asked it in javascript so you can have something like this
function contains(selector, text) {
var elements = document.querySelectorAll(selector);
return Array.prototype.filter.call(elements, function(element){
return RegExp(text).test(element.textContent);
});
}
And then call it like this
contains('div', 'sometext'); // find "div" that contain "sometext"
contains('div', /^sometext/); // find "div" that start with "sometext"
contains('div', /sometext$/i); // find "div" that end with "sometext", case-insensitive
How to locate the Path of the current project directory in Java (IDE)?
This is the new way to do it:
Path root = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("").toAbsolutePath();
Path filePath = Paths.get(root.toString(),"src", "main", "resources", fileName);
Or even better:
Path root = Paths.get(".").normalize().toAbsolutePath();
But I would take it one step further:
public String getUsersProjectRootDirectory() {
String envRootDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
Path rootDIr = Paths.get(".").normalize().toAbsolutePath();
if ( rootDir.startsWith(envRootDir) ) {
return rootDir;
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("Root dir not found in user directory.");
}
}
Uploading file using POST request in Node.js
Looks like you're already using request
module.
in this case all you need to post multipart/form-data
is to use its form
feature:
var req = request.post(url, function (err, resp, body) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error!');
} else {
console.log('URL: ' + body);
}
});
var form = req.form();
form.append('file', '<FILE_DATA>', {
filename: 'myfile.txt',
contentType: 'text/plain'
});
but if you want to post some existing file from your file system, then you may simply pass it as a readable stream:
form.append('file', fs.createReadStream(filepath));
request
will extract all related metadata by itself.
For more information on posting multipart/form-data
see node-form-data
module, which is internally used by request
.
jQuery returning "parsererror" for ajax request
There are lots of suggestions to remove
dataType: "json"
While I grant that this works it's ignoring the underlying issue. If you're confident the return string really is JSON then look for errant whitespace at the start of the response. Consider having a look at it in fiddler. Mine looked like this:
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{"type":"scan","data":{"image":".\/output\/ou...
In my case this was a problem with PHP spewing out unwanted characters (in this case UTF file BOMs). Once I removed these it fixed the problem while also keeping
dataType: json
Convert .pem to .crt and .key
To extract the key and cert from a pem file:
Extract key
openssl pkey -in foo.pem -out foo.key
Another method of extracting the key...
openssl rsa -in foo.pem -out foo.key
Extract all the certs, including the CA Chain
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile foo.pem | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -out foo.cert
Extract the textually first cert as DER
openssl x509 -in foo.pem -outform DER -out first-cert.der
Sample random rows in dataframe
Write one! Wrapping JC's answer gives me:
randomRows = function(df,n){
return(df[sample(nrow(df),n),])
}
Now make it better by checking first if n<=nrow(df) and stopping with an error.
Make the image go behind the text and keep it in center using CSS
I style my css in its own file. So I'm not sure how you need to type it in as your are styling inside your html file. But you can use the
Img{
position: relative
Top: 150px;
Left: 40px;
}
This would move my image up 150px and towards the right 40px. This method makes it so you can move anything you want on your page any where on your page If this is confusing just look on YouTube about position: relative
I also use the same method to move my h1 tag on top of my image.
In my html5 file my image is first and below that I have my h1 tag. Idk if this effects witch will be displayed on top of the other one.
Hope this helps.
How do I run a shell script without using "sh" or "bash" commands?
You have to enable the executable bit for the program.
chmod +x script.sh
Then you can use ./script.sh
You can add the folder to the PATH in your .bashrc
file (located in your home directory).
Add this line to the end of the file:
export PATH=$PATH:/your/folder/here
Implements vs extends: When to use? What's the difference?
Generally implements used for implementing an interface and extends used for extension of base class behaviour or abstract class.
extends: A derived class can extend a base class. You may redefine the behaviour of an established relation. Derived class "is a" base class type
implements: You are implementing a contract. The class implementing the interface "has a" capability.
With java 8 release, interface can have default methods in interface, which provides implementation in interface itself.
Refer to this question for when to use each of them:
Interface vs Abstract Class (general OO)
Example to understand things.
public class ExtendsAndImplementsDemo{
public static void main(String args[]){
Dog dog = new Dog("Tiger",16);
Cat cat = new Cat("July",20);
System.out.println("Dog:"+dog);
System.out.println("Cat:"+cat);
dog.remember();
dog.protectOwner();
Learn dl = dog;
dl.learn();
cat.remember();
cat.protectOwner();
Climb c = cat;
c.climb();
Man man = new Man("Ravindra",40);
System.out.println(man);
Climb cm = man;
cm.climb();
Think t = man;
t.think();
Learn l = man;
l.learn();
Apply a = man;
a.apply();
}
}
abstract class Animal{
String name;
int lifeExpentency;
public Animal(String name,int lifeExpentency ){
this.name = name;
this.lifeExpentency=lifeExpentency;
}
public void remember(){
System.out.println("Define your own remember");
}
public void protectOwner(){
System.out.println("Define your own protectOwner");
}
public String toString(){
return this.getClass().getSimpleName()+":"+name+":"+lifeExpentency;
}
}
class Dog extends Animal implements Learn{
public Dog(String name,int age){
super(name,age);
}
public void remember(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+" can remember for 5 minutes");
}
public void protectOwner(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " will protect owner");
}
public void learn(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " can learn:");
}
}
class Cat extends Animal implements Climb {
public Cat(String name,int age){
super(name,age);
}
public void remember(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " can remember for 16 hours");
}
public void protectOwner(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " won't protect owner");
}
public void climb(){
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " can climb");
}
}
interface Climb{
public void climb();
}
interface Think {
public void think();
}
interface Learn {
public void learn();
}
interface Apply{
public void apply();
}
class Man implements Think,Learn,Apply,Climb{
String name;
int age;
public Man(String name,int age){
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
public void think(){
System.out.println("I can think:"+this.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
public void learn(){
System.out.println("I can learn:"+this.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
public void apply(){
System.out.println("I can apply:"+this.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
public void climb(){
System.out.println("I can climb:"+this.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
public String toString(){
return "Man :"+name+":Age:"+age;
}
}
output:
Dog:Dog:Tiger:16
Cat:Cat:July:20
Dog can remember for 5 minutes
Dog will protect owner
Dog can learn:
Cat can remember for 16 hours
Cat won't protect owner
Cat can climb
Man :Ravindra:Age:40
I can climb:Man
I can think:Man
I can learn:Man
I can apply:Man
Important points to understand:
- Dog and Cat are animals and they extended
remember
() and protectOwner
() by sharing name,lifeExpentency
from Animal
- Cat can climb() but Dog does not. Dog can think() but Cat does not. These specific capabilities are added to
Cat
and Dog
by implementing that capability.
- Man is not an animal but he can
Think,Learn,Apply,Climb
By going through these examples, you can understand that
Unrelated classes can have capabilities through interface but related classes override behaviour through extension of base classes.
How do I send a file as an email attachment using Linux command line?
Another alternative - Swaks (Swiss Army Knife for SMTP).
swaks -tls \
--to ${MAIL_TO} \
--from ${MAIL_FROM} \
--server ${MAIL_SERVER} \
--auth LOGIN \
--auth-user ${MAIL_USER} \
--auth-password ${MAIL_PASSWORD} \
--header "Subject: $MAIL_SUBJECT" \
--header "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" \
--body "$MESSAGE" \
--attach mysqldbbackup.sql
What is "Signal 15 received"
This indicates the linux has delivered a SIGTERM
to your process. This is usually at the request of some other process (via kill()
) but could also be sent by your process to itself (using raise()
). This signal requests an orderly shutdown of your process.
If you need a quick cheatsheet of signal numbers, open a bash shell and:
$ kill -l
1) SIGHUP 2) SIGINT 3) SIGQUIT 4) SIGILL
5) SIGTRAP 6) SIGABRT 7) SIGBUS 8) SIGFPE
9) SIGKILL 10) SIGUSR1 11) SIGSEGV 12) SIGUSR2
13) SIGPIPE 14) SIGALRM 15) SIGTERM 16) SIGSTKFLT
17) SIGCHLD 18) SIGCONT 19) SIGSTOP 20) SIGTSTP
21) SIGTTIN 22) SIGTTOU 23) SIGURG 24) SIGXCPU
25) SIGXFSZ 26) SIGVTALRM 27) SIGPROF 28) SIGWINCH
29) SIGIO 30) SIGPWR 31) SIGSYS 34) SIGRTMIN
35) SIGRTMIN+1 36) SIGRTMIN+2 37) SIGRTMIN+3 38) SIGRTMIN+4
39) SIGRTMIN+5 40) SIGRTMIN+6 41) SIGRTMIN+7 42) SIGRTMIN+8
43) SIGRTMIN+9 44) SIGRTMIN+10 45) SIGRTMIN+11 46) SIGRTMIN+12
47) SIGRTMIN+13 48) SIGRTMIN+14 49) SIGRTMIN+15 50) SIGRTMAX-14
51) SIGRTMAX-13 52) SIGRTMAX-12 53) SIGRTMAX-11 54) SIGRTMAX-10
55) SIGRTMAX-9 56) SIGRTMAX-8 57) SIGRTMAX-7 58) SIGRTMAX-6
59) SIGRTMAX-5 60) SIGRTMAX-4 61) SIGRTMAX-3 62) SIGRTMAX-2
63) SIGRTMAX-1 64) SIGRTMAX
You can determine the sender by using an appropriate signal handler like:
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void sigterm_handler(int signal, siginfo_t *info, void *_unused)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Received SIGTERM from process with pid = %u\n",
info->si_pid);
exit(0);
}
int main (void)
{
struct sigaction action = {
.sa_handler = NULL,
.sa_sigaction = sigterm_handler,
.sa_mask = 0,
.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO,
.sa_restorer = NULL
};
sigaction(SIGTERM, &action, NULL);
sleep(60);
return 0;
}
Notice that the signal handler also includes a call to exit()
. It's also possible for your program to continue to execute by ignoring the signal, but this isn't recommended in general (if it's a user doing it there's a good chance it will be followed by a SIGKILL if your process doesn't exit, and you lost your opportunity to do any cleanup then).
What is the difference between _tmain() and main() in C++?
Ok, the question seems to have been answered fairly well, the UNICODE overload should take a wide character array as its second parameter. So if the command line parameter is "Hello"
that would probably end up as "H\0e\0l\0l\0o\0\0\0"
and your program would only print the 'H'
before it sees what it thinks is a null terminator.
So now you may wonder why it even compiles and links.
Well it compiles because you are allowed to define an overload to a function.
Linking is a slightly more complex issue. In C, there is no decorated symbol information so it just finds a function called main. The argc and argv are probably always there as call-stack parameters just in case even if your function is defined with that signature, even if your function happens to ignore them.
Even though C++ does have decorated symbols, it almost certainly uses C-linkage for main, rather than a clever linker that looks for each one in turn. So it found your wmain and put the parameters onto the call-stack in case it is the int wmain(int, wchar_t*[])
version.
How to get URL parameters with Javascript?

return decodeURIComponent((new RegExp('[?|&]' + name + '=' + '([^&;]+?)(&|#|;|$)').exec(location.search) || [null, ''])[1].replace(/\+/g, '%20')) || null;
}
So you can use:
myvar = getURLParameter('myvar');
How to embed a video into GitHub README.md?
Update Feb. 2021, as noted by Abhishek Singh in the comments, and Nat Friedman on Twitter:
You can now – finally! – drop images and videos (mp4, gif) onto the Markdown file editor on GitHub.
Paste works too, if you're into that kind of thing.
It's worked in issues and PRs for a while; what's new here is support in markdown files.
GitHub Enterprise Server tends to lag http://github.com by a couple of months, but it will get there in a future release.
Kyle Daigle (Senior Director of Special Projects at GitHub) adds:
Currently, the file is stored as an asset outside the repository (sort of like an image uploaded to an image).
(Uploads to githubusercontent and stores it there. Then makes a link in the markdown to that uploaded image.)
The team is interested in exploring adding the image to the repo too... would you want something like that?
Sven-Michael Stübe comments:
I usually add the images to my repo. Especially if you host your blog as github page w/ a custom domain.
But I think this feature would also add a lot of complexity. It's not a big pain to add the image manually. For PRs+Comments the drag&drop is more essential
Kyle answers:
For the blog case (which is what made us think about image upload to the repo) you're totally right.
This type of drag and drop is helpful when adding an image to a README
or other in-repo documentation though (when you don't want to upload to the repo).
That feature has come a long way since its initial proposal... back in 2012(!)
Update Dec. 2020: see "Video upload public beta ", which embeds video (embedding only, not link/reference)
2010: The "Github Flavored Markdown" doesn't support this kind of feature for any page:
An old support thread "Embed YouTube videos in markdown files" stated:
With pages.github.io
, yes, everywhere else, no.
(Note: as detailed in "Github Top-Level Project Page", github.io is the new domain for user and organization pages since April 2013.
The page GitHub publication is presented here)
This could be a feature request like the syntax highlighting was.
For instance: "HTML5 video in markdown" (August 2010):
Is there any way to implement a HTML5 video into the README.markdown
file?
Not currently but we might be expanding what you can do with the READMEs in the future.
In the meantime, you can do this with GitHub Pages and our Wikis.
Benjamin Oakes confirms in the comments (May 2012):
I sent in a support request. The response was that embedding videos is not supported.
Python & Matplotlib: Make 3D plot interactive in Jupyter Notebook
You may go with Plotly library. It can render interactive 3D plots directly in Jupyter Notebooks.
To do so you first need to install Plotly by running:
pip install plotly
You might also want to upgrade the library by running:
pip install plotly --upgrade
After that in you Jupyter Notebook you may write something like:
# Import dependencies
import plotly
import plotly.graph_objs as go
# Configure Plotly to be rendered inline in the notebook.
plotly.offline.init_notebook_mode()
# Configure the trace.
trace = go.Scatter3d(
x=[1, 2, 3], # <-- Put your data instead
y=[4, 5, 6], # <-- Put your data instead
z=[7, 8, 9], # <-- Put your data instead
mode='markers',
marker={
'size': 10,
'opacity': 0.8,
}
)
# Configure the layout.
layout = go.Layout(
margin={'l': 0, 'r': 0, 'b': 0, 't': 0}
)
data = [trace]
plot_figure = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
# Render the plot.
plotly.offline.iplot(plot_figure)
As a result the following chart will be plotted for you in Jupyter Notebook and you'll be able to interact with it. Of course you will need to provide your specific data instead of suggeseted one.
SVN repository backup strategies
I have compiled the steps I followed for the purpose of taking a backup of the remote SVN
repository of my project.
install svk (http://svk.bestpractical.com/view/SVKWin32)
install svn (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/files/1.6.16/Setup-Subversion-1.6.16.msi/download)
svk mirror //local <remote repository URL>
svk sync //local
This takes time and says that it is fetching the logs from repository. It creates a set of files inside C:\Documents and Settings\nverma\.svk\local
.
To update this local repository with the latest set of changes from the remote one, just run the previous command from time to time.
Now you can play with your local repository (/home/user/.svk/local
in this example) as if it were a normal SVN repository!
The only problem with this approach is that the local repository is created with a revision increments by the actual revision in the remote repository. As someone wrote:
The svk miror command generates a commit in the just created repository. So all the commits created by the subsequent sync will have revision numbers incremented by one as compared to the remote public repository.
But, this was OK for me as I only wanted some backup of the remote repository time to time, nothing else.
Verification:
To verify, use the SVN client with the local repository like this:
svn checkout "file:///C:/Documents and Settings\nverma/.svk/local/" <local-dir-path-to-checkout-onto>
This command then goes to checkout the latest revision from the local repository. At the end it says Checked out revision N
. This N
was one more than the actual revision found in the remote repository (due to the problem mentioned above).
To verify that svk also brought all the history, the SVN checkout was run with various older revisions using -r
with 2, 10, 50 etc. Then the files in <local-dir-path-to-checkout-onto>
were confirmed to be from that revision.
At the end, zip the directory C:/Documents and Settings\nverma/.svk/local/
and store the zip somewhere. Keep doing this regularly.
Use success() or complete() in AJAX call
complete
executes after either the success
or error
callback were executed.
Maybe you should check the second parameter complete
offers too. It's a String holding the type of success the ajaxCall had.
The different callbacks are described a little more in detail here jQuery.ajax( options )
I guess you missed the fact that the complete
and the success
function (I know inconsistent API) get different data passed in. success
gets only the data, complete
gets the whole XMLHttpRequest
object. Of course there is no responseText
property on the data string.
So if you replace complete
with success
you also have to replace data.responseText
with data
only.
success
The function gets passed two
arguments: The data returned from the
server, formatted according to the
'dataType' parameter, and a string
describing the status.
complete
The function gets passed two
arguments: The XMLHttpRequest object
and a string describing the type of
success of the request.
If you need to have access to the whole XMLHttpRequest
object in the success callback I suggest trying this.
var myXHR = $.ajax({
...
success: function(data, status) {
...do whatever with myXHR; e.g. myXHR.responseText...
},
...
});
C# Clear Session
In ASP.NET, when should I use Session.Clear() rather than Session.Abandon()?
Session.Abandon() destroys the session
and the Session_OnEnd event is
triggered.
Session.Clear() just removes all
values (content) from the Object. The
session with the same key is still
alive.
So, if you use Session.Abandon(), you
lose that specific session and the
user will get a new session key. You
could use it for example when the user
logs out.
Use Session.Clear(), if you want that
the user remaining in the same session
(if you don't want him to relogin for
example) and reset all his session
specific data.
What is the difference between Session.Abandon() and Session.Clear()
Clear - Removes all keys and values
from the session-state collection.
Abandon - removes all the objects
stored in a Session. If you do not
call the Abandon method explicitly,
the server removes these objects and
destroys the session when the session
times out. It also raises events like
Session_End.
Session.Clear can be compared to
removing all books from the shelf,
while Session.Abandon is more like
throwing away the whole shelf.
...
Generally, in most cases you need to
use Session.Clear. You can use
Session.Abandon if you are sure the
user is going to leave your site.
So back to the differences:
- Abandon raises Session_End request.
- Clear removes items immediately, Abandon does not.
- Abandon releases the SessionState object and its items so it can garbage
collected.
- Clear keeps SessionState and resources associated with it.
Session.Clear() or Session.Abandon() ?
You use Session.Clear() when you don't
want to end the session but rather
just clear all the keys in the session
and reinitialize the session.
Session.Clear() will not cause the
Session_End eventhandler in your
Global.asax file to execute.
But on the other hand
Session.Abandon() will remove the
session altogether and will execute
Session_End eventhandler.
Session.Clear() is like removing books
from the bookshelf
Session.Abandon() is like throwing the
bookshelf itself.
Question
I check on some sessions if not equal null in the page load. if one of them equal null i wanna to clear all the sessions and redirect to the login page?
Answer
If you want the user to login again, use Session.Abandon.
Java Garbage Collection Log messages
- PSYoungGen refers to the garbage collector in use for the minor collection. PS stands for Parallel Scavenge.
- The first set of numbers are the before/after sizes of the young generation and the second set are for the entire heap. (Diagnosing a Garbage Collection problem details the format)
- The name indicates the generation and collector in question, the second set are for the entire heap.
An example of an associated full GC also shows the collectors used for the old and permanent generations:
3.757: [Full GC [PSYoungGen: 2672K->0K(35584K)]
[ParOldGen: 3225K->5735K(43712K)] 5898K->5735K(79296K)
[PSPermGen: 13533K->13516K(27584K)], 0.0860402 secs]
Finally, breaking down one line of your example log output:
8109.128: [GC [PSYoungGen: 109884K->14201K(139904K)] 691015K->595332K(1119040K), 0.0454530 secs]
- 107Mb used before GC, 14Mb used after GC, max young generation size 137Mb
- 675Mb heap used before GC, 581Mb heap used after GC, 1Gb max heap size
- minor GC occurred 8109.128 seconds since the start of the JVM and took 0.04 seconds
How to make a vertical line in HTML
One other option is to use a 1-pixel image, and set the height - this option would allow you to float it to where you need to be.
Not the most elegant solution though.
Return anonymous type results?
Just select dogs, then use dog.Breed.BreedName
, this should work fine.
If you have a lot of dogs, use DataLoadOptions.LoadWith to reduce the number of db calls.
How to add text to JFrame?
Instead of wasting your time to design a JFrame
just to display a error message, you can use an JOptionPane
which is by default modal:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your message goes here!","Message", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
P.S. Stop using Windowbuilder if you want to learn Swing.
Which is faster: Stack allocation or Heap allocation
Stack is much faster. It literally only uses a single instruction on most architectures, in most cases, e.g. on x86:
sub esp, 0x10
(That moves the stack pointer down by 0x10 bytes and thereby "allocates" those bytes for use by a variable.)
Of course, the stack's size is very, very finite, as you will quickly find out if you overuse stack allocation or try to do recursion :-)
Also, there's little reason to optimize the performance of code that doesn't verifiably need it, such as demonstrated by profiling. "Premature optimization" often causes more problems than it's worth.
My rule of thumb: if I know I'm going to need some data at compile-time, and it's under a few hundred bytes in size, I stack-allocate it. Otherwise I heap-allocate it.
How do I read / convert an InputStream into a String in Java?
This one is nice because:
- It safely handles the Charset.
- You control the read buffer size.
- You can provision the length of the builder and it doesn't have to be an exact value.
- Is free from library dependencies.
- Is for Java 7 or higher.
How to do it?
public static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) throws IOException {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(2048); // Define a size if you have an idea of it.
char[] read = new char[128]; // Your buffer size.
try (InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(is, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) {
for (int i; -1 != (i = ir.read(read)); sb.append(read, 0, i));
}
return sb.toString();
}
For JDK 9
public static String inputStreamString(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
try (inputStream) {
return new String(inputStream.readAllBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}
}
How to override the properties of a CSS class using another CSS class
You should override by increasing Specificity of your styling. There are different ways of increasing the Specificity. Usage of !important
which effects specificity, is a bad practice because it breaks natural cascading in your style sheet.
Following diagram taken from css-tricks.com will help you produce right specificity for your element based on a points structure. Whichever specificity has higher points, will win. Sounds like a game - doesn't it?
Checkout sample calculations here on css-tricks.com. This will help you understand the concept very well and it will only take 2 minutes.
If you then like to produce and/or compare different specificities by yourself, try this Specificity Calculator: https://specificity.keegan.st/ or you can just use traditional paper/pencil.
For further reading try MDN Web Docs.
All the best for not using !important
.
generate random double numbers in c++
Here's how
double fRand(double fMin, double fMax)
{
double f = (double)rand() / RAND_MAX;
return fMin + f * (fMax - fMin);
}
Remember to call srand() with a proper seed each time your program starts.
[Edit]
This answer is obsolete since C++ got it's native non-C based random library (see Alessandro Jacopsons answer)
But, this still applies to C
batch script - run command on each file in directory

What is the difference between ArrayList.clear() and ArrayList.removeAll()?
Clear is faster because it does not loop over elements to delete. This method can assume that ALL elements can be deleted.
Remove all
does not necessarily mean delete all elements in the list, only those provided as parameters SHOULD be delete. Hence, more effort is required to keep those which should not be deleted.
CLARIFICATION
By 'loop', I mean it does not have to check whether the element should be kept or not. It can set the reference to null
without searching through the provided lists of elements to delete.
Clear
IS faster than deleteall
.
How do I create a branch?
Suppose you want to create a branch from a trunk name (as "TEST")
then use:
svn cp -m "CREATE BRANCH TEST" $svn_url/trunk $svn_url/branches/TEST
What is the difference between List and ArrayList?
There's no difference between list implementations in both of your examples.
There's however a difference in a way you can further use variable myList in your code.
When you define your list as:
List myList = new ArrayList();
you can only call methods and reference members that are defined in the List interface.
If you define it as:
ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
you'll be able to invoke ArrayList-specific methods and use ArrayList-specific members in addition to those whose definitions are inherited from List.
Nevertheless, when you call a method of a List interface in the first example, which was implemented in ArrayList, the method from ArrayList will be called (because the List interface doesn't implement any methods).
That's called polymorphism. You can read up on it.
Does Python's time.time() return the local or UTC timestamp?
The time.time()
function returns the number of seconds since the epoch, as seconds. Note that the "epoch" is defined as the start of January 1st, 1970 in UTC. So the epoch is defined in terms of UTC and establishes a global moment in time. No matter where you are "seconds past epoch" (time.time()) returns the same value at the same moment.
Here is some sample output I ran on my computer, converting it to a string as well.
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 24 2012, 00:00:54)
[GCC 4.7.0 20120414 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> ts = time.time()
>>> print ts
1355563265.81
>>> import datetime
>>> st = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ts).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
>>> print st
2012-12-15 01:21:05
>>>
The ts
variable is the time returned in seconds. I then converted it to a string using the datetime
library making it a string that is human readable.
How do I reference a local image in React?
For people who want to use multiple images of course importing them one by one would be a problem. The solution is to move the images folder to the public folder. So if you had an image at public/images/logo.jpg, you could display that image this way:
function Header() {
return (
<div>
<img src="images/logo.jpg" alt="logo"/>
</div>
);
}
Yes, no need to use /public/ in the source.

IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3
I've read every comment here, tried everything.. but couldn't get it to work with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 (with document mode: IE8).

How to check if current thread is not main thread
Allow me to preface this with:
I acknowledged this post has the 'Android' tag, however, my search had nothing to do with 'Android' and this was my top result. To that end, for the non-Android SO Java users landing here, don't forget about:
public static void main(String[] args{
Thread.currentThread().setName("SomeNameIChoose");
/*...the rest of main...*/
}
After setting this, elsewhere in your code, you can easily check if you're about to execute on the main thread with:
if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("SomeNameIChoose"))
{
//do something on main thread
}
A bit embarrassed I had searched before remembering this, but hopefully it will help someone else!
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.index_jsp
It's been a while since I posted this, but I thought I would show how I figured it out (as best as I recall now).
I did a Maven dependency tree to find dependency conflicts, and I removed all conflicts with exclusions in dependencies, e.g.:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Also, I used the provided
scope for javax.servlet dependencies so as not to introduce an additional conflict with what is provided by Tomcat when I run the app.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>

How to find good looking font color if background color is known?
This is an interesting question, but I don't think this is actually possible. Whether or not two colors "fit" as background and foreground colors is dependent upon display technology and physiological characteristics of human vision, but most importantly on upon personal tastes shaped by experience. A quick run through MySpace shows pretty clearly that not all human beings perceive colors in the same way. I don't think this is a problem that can be solved algorithmically, although there may be a huge database somewhere of acceptable matching colors.
Typescript: Type 'string | undefined' is not assignable to type 'string'
Solution 1: Remove the explicit type definition
Since getPerson
already returns a Person
with a name, we can use the inferred type.
function getPerson(){
let person = {name:"John"};
return person;
}
let person = getPerson();
If we were to define person: Person
we would lose a piece of information. We know getPerson
returns an object with a non-optional property called name
, but describing it as Person
would bring the optionality back.
Solution 2: Use a more precise definition
type Require<T, K extends keyof T> = T & {
[P in K]-?: T[P]
};
function getPerson() {
let person = {name:"John"};
return person;
}
let person: Require<Person, 'name'> = getPerson();
let name1:string = person.name;
Solution 3: Redesign your interface
A shape in which all properties are optional is called a weak type and usually is an indicator of bad design. If we were to make name
a required property, your problem goes away.
interface Person {
name:string,
age?:string,
gender?:string,
occupation?:string,
}
How do I prompt a user for confirmation in bash script?
use case/esac.
read -p "Continue (y/n)?" choice
case "$choice" in
y|Y ) echo "yes";;
n|N ) echo "no";;
* ) echo "invalid";;
esac
advantage:
- neater
- can use "OR" condition easier
- can use character range, eg [yY][eE][sS] to accept word "yes", where any of its characters may be in lowercase or in uppercase.
How do I disable form fields using CSS?
input[name=username] {
disabled: true; /* Does not work */ }
I know this question is quite old but for other users who come across this problem, I suppose the easiest way to disable input is simply by ':disabled'
<input type="text" name="username" value="admin" disabled />
<style type="text/css">
input[name=username]:disabled {
opacity: 0.5 !important; /* Fade effect */
cursor: not-allowed; /* Cursor change to disabled state*/
}
</style>
In reality, if you have some script to disable the input dynamically/automatically with javascript or jquery that would automatically disable based on the condition you add.
In jQuery for Example:
if (condition) {
// Make this input prop disabled state
$('input').prop('disabled', true);
}
else {
// Do something else
}
Hope the answer in CSS helps.
How to start http-server locally
To start server locally paste the below code in package.json and run npm start
in command line.
"scripts": {
"start": "http-server -c-1 -p 8081"
},
Multiple left-hand assignment with JavaScript
Assignment in javascript works from right to left. var var1 = var2 = var3 = 1;
.
If the value of any of these variables is 1
after this statement, then logically it must have started from the right, otherwise the value or var1
and var2
would be undefined.
You can think of it as equivalent to var var1 = (var2 = (var3 = 1));
where the inner-most set of parenthesis is evaluated first.
Timestamp to human readable format
getDay()
returns the day of the week. To get the date, use date.getDate()
. getMonth()
retrieves the month, but month is zero based, so using getMonth()+1
should give you the right month. Time value seems to be ok here, albeit the hour is 23 here (GMT+1). If you want universal values, add UTC
to the methods (e.g. date.getUTCFullYear()
, date.getUTCHours()
)
var timestamp = 1301090400,
date = new Date(timestamp * 1000),
datevalues = [
date.getFullYear(),
date.getMonth()+1,
date.getDate(),
date.getHours(),
date.getMinutes(),
date.getSeconds(),
];
alert(datevalues); //=> [2011, 3, 25, 23, 0, 0]
MySQL join with where clause
You need to put it in the join
clause, not the where
:
SELECT *
FROM categories
LEFT JOIN user_category_subscriptions ON
user_category_subscriptions.category_id = categories.category_id
and user_category_subscriptions.user_id =1
See, with an inner join
, putting a clause in the join
or the where
is equivalent. However, with an outer join
, they are vastly different.
As a join
condition, you specify the rowset that you will be joining to the table. This means that it evaluates user_id = 1
first, and takes the subset of user_category_subscriptions
with a user_id
of 1
to join to all of the rows in categories
. This will give you all of the rows in categories
, while only the categories
that this particular user has subscribed to will have any information in the user_category_subscriptions
columns. Of course, all other categories
will be populated with null
in the user_category_subscriptions
columns.
Conversely, a where
clause does the join, and then reduces the rowset. So, this does all of the joins and then eliminates all rows where user_id
doesn't equal 1
. You're left with an inefficient way to get an inner join
.
Hopefully this helps!
How to retrieve a recursive directory and file list from PowerShell excluding some files and folders?
Commenting here as this seems to be the most popular answer on the subject for searching for files whilst excluding certain directories in powershell.
To avoid issues with post filtering of results (i.e. avoiding permission issues etc), I only needed to filter out top level directories and that is all this example is based on, so whilst this example doesn't filter child directory names, it could very easily be made recursive to support this, if you were so inclined.
Quick breakdown of how the snippet works
$folders << Uses Get-Childitem to query the file system and perform folder exclusion
$file << The pattern of the file I am looking for
foreach << Iterates the $folders variable performing a recursive search using the Get-Childitem command
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Directory -Name -Exclude Folder1,"Folder 2"
$file = "*filenametosearchfor*.extension"
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
Get-Childitem -Path "C:/$folder" -Recurse -Filter $file | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_.FullName }
}
Can you explain the HttpURLConnection connection process?
String message = URLEncoder.encode("my message", "UTF-8");
try {
// instantiate the URL object with the target URL of the resource to
// request
URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com/comment");
// instantiate the HttpURLConnection with the URL object - A new
// connection is opened every time by calling the openConnection
// method of the protocol handler for this URL.
// 1. This is the point where the connection is opened.
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url
.openConnection();
// set connection output to true
connection.setDoOutput(true);
// instead of a GET, we're going to send using method="POST"
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// instantiate OutputStreamWriter using the output stream, returned
// from getOutputStream, that writes to this connection.
// 2. This is the point where you'll know if the connection was
// successfully established. If an I/O error occurs while creating
// the output stream, you'll see an IOException.
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(
connection.getOutputStream());
// write data to the connection. This is data that you are sending
// to the server
// 3. No. Sending the data is conducted here. We established the
// connection with getOutputStream
writer.write("message=" + message);
// Closes this output stream and releases any system resources
// associated with this stream. At this point, we've sent all the
// data. Only the outputStream is closed at this point, not the
// actual connection
writer.close();
// if there is a response code AND that response code is 200 OK, do
// stuff in the first if block
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// OK
// otherwise, if any other status code is returned, or no status
// code is returned, do stuff in the else block
} else {
// Server returned HTTP error code.
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// ...
} catch (IOException e) {
// ...
}
The first 3 answers to your questions are listed as inline comments, beside each method, in the example HTTP POST above.
From getOutputStream:
Returns an output stream that writes to this connection.
Basically, I think you have a good understanding of how this works, so let me just reiterate in layman's terms. getOutputStream
basically opens a connection stream, with the intention of writing data to the server. In the above code example "message" could be a comment that we're sending to the server that represents a comment left on a post. When you see getOutputStream
, you're opening the connection stream for writing, but you don't actually write any data until you call writer.write("message=" + message);
.
From getInputStream():
Returns an input stream that reads from this open connection. A SocketTimeoutException can be thrown when reading from the returned input stream if the read timeout expires before data is available for read.
getInputStream
does the opposite. Like getOutputStream
, it also opens a connection stream, but the intent is to read data from the server, not write to it. If the connection or stream-opening fails, you'll see a SocketTimeoutException
.
How about the getInputStream? Since I'm only able to get the response at getInputStream, then does it mean that I didn't send any request at getOutputStream yet but simply establishes a connection?
Keep in mind that sending a request and sending data are two different operations. When you invoke getOutputStream or getInputStream url.openConnection()
, you send a request to the server to establish a connection. There is a handshake that occurs where the server sends back an acknowledgement to you that the connection is established. It is then at that point in time that you're prepared to send or receive data. Thus, you do not need to call getOutputStream to establish a connection open a stream, unless your purpose for making the request is to send data.
In layman's terms, making a getInputStream
request is the equivalent of making a phone call to your friend's house to say "Hey, is it okay if I come over and borrow that pair of vice grips?" and your friend establishes the handshake by saying, "Sure! Come and get it". Then, at that point, the connection is made, you walk to your friend's house, knock on the door, request the vice grips, and walk back to your house.
Using a similar example for getOutputStream
would involve calling your friend and saying "Hey, I have that money I owe you, can I send it to you"? Your friend, needing money and sick inside that you kept it for so long, says "Sure, come on over you cheap bastard". So you walk to your friend's house and "POST" the money to him. He then kicks you out and you walk back to your house.
Now, continuing with the layman's example, let's look at some Exceptions. If you called your friend and he wasn't home, that could be a 500 error. If you called and got a disconnected number message because your friend is tired of you borrowing money all the time, that's a 404 page not found. If your phone is dead because you didn't pay the bill, that could be an IOException. (NOTE: This section may not be 100% correct. It's intended to give you a general idea of what's happening in layman's terms.)
Question #5:
Yes, you are correct that openConnection simply creates a new connection object but does not establish it. The connection is established when you call either getInputStream or getOutputStream.
openConnection
creates a new connection object. From the URL.openConnection javadocs:
A new connection is opened every time by calling the openConnection method of the protocol handler for this URL.
The connection is established when you call openConnection, and the InputStream, OutputStream, or both, are called when you instantiate them.
Question #6:
To measure the overhead, I generally wrap some very simple timing code around the entire connection block, like so:
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
log.info("Time so far = " + new Long(System.currentTimeMillis() - start) );
// run the above example code here
log.info("Total time to send/receive data = " + new Long(System.currentTimeMillis() - start) );
I'm sure there are more advanced methods for measuring the request time and overhead, but this generally is sufficient for my needs.
For information on closing connections, which you didn't ask about, see In Java when does a URL connection close?.
Java Set retain order?
Set is just an interface. In order to retain order, you have to use a specific implementation of that interface and the sub-interface SortedSet, for example TreeSet or LinkedHashSet. You can wrap your Set this way:
Set myOrderedSet = new LinkedHashSet(mySet);
How do you set autocommit in an SQL Server session?
With SQLServer 2005 Express, what I found was that even with autocommit off, insertions into a Db table were committed without my actually issuing a commit command from the Management Studio session. The only difference was, when autocommit was off, I could roll back all the insertions; with *autocommit on, I could not.*
Actually, I was wrong. With autocommit mode off, I see the changes only in the QA (Query Analyzer) window from which the commands were issued. If I popped a new QA (Query Analyzer) window, I do not see the changes made by the first window (session), i.e. they are NOT committed! I had to issue explicit commit or rollback commands to make changes visible to other sessions(QA windows) -- my bad! Things are working correctly.
how to set select element as readonly ('disabled' doesnt pass select value on server)
You can simulate a readonly select box using the CSS pointer-events property:
select[readonly]
{
pointer-events: none;
}
The HTML tabindex property will also prevent it from being selected by keyboard tabbing:
<select tabindex="-1">

Show two digits after decimal point in c++
Using header file stdio.h
you can easily do it as usual like c. before using %.2lf(set a specific number after % specifier.) using printf().
It simply printf specific digits after decimal point.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double total=100;
printf("%.2lf",total);//this prints 100.00 like as C
}
rails generate model
The code is okay but you are in the wrong directory. You must run these commands inside your rails project-directory.
The normal way to get there from scratch is:
$ rails new PROJECT_NAME
$ cd PROJECT_NAME
$ rails generate model ad \
name:string \
description:text \
price:decimal \
seller_id:integer \
email:string img_url:string
javascript toISOString() ignores timezone offset
My solution without using moment
is to convert it to a timestamp, add the timezone offset, then convert back to a date object, and then run the toISOString()
var date = new Date(); // Or the date you'd like converted.
var isoDateTime = new Date(date.getTime() - (date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000)).toISOString();
Declare a variable in DB2 SQL
I imagine this forum posting, which I quote fully below, should answer the question.
Inside a procedure, function, or trigger definition, or in a dynamic SQL statement (embedded in a host program):
BEGIN ATOMIC
DECLARE example VARCHAR(15) ;
SET example = 'welcome' ;
SELECT *
FROM tablename
WHERE column1 = example ;
END
or (in any environment):
WITH t(example) AS (VALUES('welcome'))
SELECT *
FROM tablename, t
WHERE column1 = example
or (although this is probably not what you want, since the variable needs to be created just once, but can be used thereafter by everybody although its content will be private on a per-user basis):
CREATE VARIABLE example VARCHAR(15) ;
SET example = 'welcome' ;
SELECT *
FROM tablename
WHERE column1 = example ;
Error "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first" when using 2 distinct commands
- The optimal solution could be to try to transform your solution into a form where you don't need to have two readers open at a time. Ideally it could be a single query. I don't have time to do that now.
If your problem is so special that you really need to have more readers open simultaneously, and your requirements allow not older than SQL Server 2005 DB backend, then the magic word is MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345109%28v=SQL.90%29.aspx. Bob Vale's linked topic's solution shows how to enable it: specify MultipleActiveResultSets=true
in your connection string. I just tell this as an interesting possibility, but you should rather transform your solution.
- in order to avoid the mentioned SQL injection possibility, set the parameters to the SQLCommand itself instead of embedding them into the query string. The query string should only contain the references to the parameters what you pass into the SqlCommand.
C# equivalent of C++ vector, with contiguous memory?
You could use a List<T>
and when T
is a value type it will be allocated in contiguous memory which would not be the case if T
is a reference type.
Example:
List<int> integers = new List<int>();
integers.Add(1);
integers.Add(4);
integers.Add(7);
int someElement = integers[1];
copy-item With Alternate Credentials
I would try to map a drive to the remote system (using 'net use' or WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive, both methods support credentials) and then use copy-item.

How to read an external properties file in Maven
This answer to a similar question describes how to extend the properties plugin so it can use a remote descriptor for the properties file. The descriptor is basically a jar artifact containing a properties file (the properties file is included under src/main/resources).
The descriptor is added as a dependency to the extended properties plugin so it is on the plugin's classpath. The plugin will search the classpath for the properties file, read the file''s contents into a Properties instance, and apply those properties to the project's configuration so they can be used elsewhere.

Struct memory layout in C
You can start by reading the data structure alignment wikipedia article to get a better understanding of data alignment.
From the wikipedia article:
Data alignment means putting the data at a memory offset equal to some multiple of the word size, which increases the system's performance due to the way the CPU handles memory. To align the data, it may be necessary to insert some meaningless bytes between the end of the last data structure and the start of the next, which is data structure padding.
From 6.54.8 Structure-Packing Pragmas of the GCC documentation:
For compatibility with Microsoft
Windows compilers, GCC supports a set
of #pragma directives which change the
maximum alignment of members of
structures (other than zero-width
bitfields), unions, and classes
subsequently defined. The n value
below always is required to be a small
power of two and specifies the new
alignment in bytes.
#pragma pack(n)
simply sets the new alignment.
#pragma pack()
sets the alignment to the one that was in
effect when compilation started (see
also command line option
-fpack-struct[=] see Code Gen Options).
#pragma pack(push[,n])
pushes the current alignment setting on an
internal stack and then optionally
sets the new alignment.
#pragma pack(pop)
restores the alignment setting to the one saved at
the top of the internal stack (and
removes that stack entry). Note that
#pragma pack([n])
does not influence this internal stack; thus it is
possible to have #pragma pack(push)
followed by multiple #pragma pack(n)
instances and finalized by a single
#pragma pack(pop)
.
Some targets, e.g. i386 and powerpc,
support the ms_struct #pragma
which
lays out a structure as the documented
__attribute__ ((ms_struct))
.
#pragma ms_struct on
turns on the layout for structures declared.
#pragma ms_struct off
turns off the layout for structures declared.
#pragma ms_struct reset
goes back to the default layout.
Combining multiple commits before pushing in Git
You can squash (join) commits with an Interactive Rebase. There is a pretty nice YouTube video which shows how to do this on the command line or with SmartGit:
If you are already a SmartGit user then you can select all your outgoing commits (by holding down the Ctrl key) and open the context menu (right click) to squash your commits.
It's very comfortable:
There is also a very nice tutorial from Atlassian which shows how it works:
How to reload current page in ReactJS?
This is my code .This works for me
componentDidMount(){
axios.get('http://localhost:5000/supplier').then(
response => {
console.log(response)
this.setState({suppliers:response.data.data})
}
)
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
}
componentDidUpdate(){
this.componentDidMount();
}
window.location.reload(); I think this thing is not good for react js
javascript regex - look behind alternative?
Let's suppose you want to find all int
not preceded by unsigned
:
With support for negative look-behind:
(?<!unsigned )int
Without support for negative look-behind:
((?!unsigned ).{9}|^.{0,8})int
Basically idea is to grab n preceding characters and exclude match with negative look-ahead, but also match the cases where there's no preceeding n characters. (where n is length of look-behind).
So the regex in question:
(?<!filename)\.js$
would translate to:
((?!filename).{8}|^.{0,7})\.js$
You might need to play with capturing groups to find exact spot of the string that interests you or you want't to replace specific part with something else.
