Here is an example of how to use urllib.request object from Python standard library.

import urllib.request
import json
from pprint import pprint

url = "https://app.close.com/hackwithus/3d63efa04a08a9e0/"

values = {
    "first_name": "Vlad",
    "last_name": "Bezden",
    "urls": [
        "https://twitter.com/VladBezden",
        "https://github.com/vlad-bezden",
    ],
}


headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Accept": "application/json",
}

data = json.dumps(values).encode("utf-8")
pprint(data)

try:
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, data, headers)
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as f:
        res = f.read()
    pprint(res.decode())
except Exception as e:
    pprint(e)

If there's any performance difference (which I doubt), it will be negligible. Concentrate on writing the simplest, most readable code you can.

Having said that, try to get over your aversion of the conditional operator - while it's certainly possible to overuse it, it can be really useful in some cases. In the specific example you gave, I'd definitely use the conditional operator.

You can't use WebSockets over HTTPS, but you can use WebSockets over TLS (HTTPS is HTTP over TLS). Just use "wss://" in the URI.

I believe recent version of Firefox won't let you use non-TLS WebSockets from an HTTPS page, but the reverse shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with SLaks, but here you go

   <asp:HyperLink id="hyperlink1" 
                  NavigateUrl="#"
                  Text=""
                  runat="server"/> 

or you can alter the href using

hyperlink1.NavigateUrl = "#"; 
hyperlink1.Text = string.empty;

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() is correct, except you are probably having timestamp in miliseconds (like in JavaScript), but fromtimestamp() expects Unix timestamp, in seconds.

Do it like that:

>>> import datetime
>>> your_timestamp = 1331856000000
>>> date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(your_timestamp / 1e3)

and the result is:

>>> date
datetime.datetime(2012, 3, 16, 1, 0)

Does it answer your question?

EDIT: J.F. Sebastian correctly suggested to use true division by 1e3 (float 1000). The difference is significant, if you would like to get precise results, thus I changed my answer. The difference results from the default behaviour of Python 2.x, which always returns int when dividing (using / operator) int by int (this is called floor division). By replacing the divisor 1000 (being an int) with the 1e3 divisor (being representation of 1000 as float) or with float(1000) (or 1000. etc.), the division becomes true division. Python 2.x returns float when dividing int by float, float by int, float by float etc. And when there is some fractional part in the timestamp passed to fromtimestamp() method, this method's result also contains information about that fractional part (as the number of microseconds).

You can use SwiftGif from this link

Usage:

imageView.loadGif(name: "jeremy")

Another solution is to use output buffering, you can collect everything that is being outputted/echoed and store it in a variable.

<?php
ob_start(); 

?>line1
line2
line3<?php 

$xml = ob_get_clean();

Please note that output buffering might not be the best solution in terms of performance and code cleanliness for this exact case but worth leaving it here for reference.

:javascript
    $(document).ready( function() {
      $('body').addClass( 'test' );
    } );

  background-position: top right 50px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

If the file is copied from a network location, that is, another computer, Windows might have blocked that file. Right click on the file and click on the unblock button and see if it works.

Here's my attempt at the most forgiving string to bool conversion that is still useful, basically keying off only the first character.

public static class StringHelpers
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Convert string to boolean, in a forgiving way.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="stringVal">String that should either be "True", "False", "Yes", "No", "T", "F", "Y", "N", "1", "0"</param>
    /// <returns>If the trimmed string is any of the legal values that can be construed as "true", it returns true; False otherwise;</returns>
    public static bool ToBoolFuzzy(this string stringVal)
    {
        string normalizedString = (stringVal?.Trim() ?? "false").ToLowerInvariant();
        bool result = (normalizedString.StartsWith("y") 
            || normalizedString.StartsWith("t")
            || normalizedString.StartsWith("1"));
        return result;
    }
}

With SASS Bootstrap - if you are compiling Bootstrap yourself - you can set all border radius (or more specific) simply to zero:

$border-radius:               0;
$border-radius-lg:            0;
$border-radius-sm:            0;

Try

echo -en "`date` User `whoami` started the script.\n" >> output.log

Try issuing this multiple times. I hope you are looking for the same output.

To make reading of this page more valuable (for future search results) I made a list of libraries known to me.. As @CommonsWare mentioned there are super-similar questions/answers.. Anyway some libraries that can be used for making charts are:

Open Source:

• AnyChart (Free for non-commercial, Paid for commercial)
• MPAndroidChart
• Holo Graph Library
• aChartEngine
• ChartView
• aFreeChart
• ChartDroid
• charts4j
• GraphView
• AndroidPlot
• Drawing the 3D piechart Using Google chart Api
• WilliamChart
• HelloCharts
• ChartProgressBar
• Plot.ly

Paid:

• aiCharts
• RChart (pre Honeycomb - Api 11 UI)
• ShinobiControls **
• Steema TeeChart **
• Orson Charts (3D charts for Android)
• Telerik Rad Chart
• SciChart (Realtime Charts for Android)

** - means I didn't try those so I can't really recommend it but other users suggested it..

I have found that the best solution is to branch off your stash and do a resolution afterwards.

git stash branch <branch-name>

if you drop of clear your stash, you may lose your changes and you will have to recur to the reflog.

If you are using MVC then it would be more appropriate to use RedirectResult instead of using Response.Redirect.

public ActionResult Index() {
        return new RedirectResult("http://www.website.com");
    }

You can open a command prompt and do a

route print

and see your current routing table.

You can modify it by

route add    d.d.d.d mask m.m.m.m g.g.g.g 
route delete d.d.d.d mask m.m.m.m g.g.g.g 
route change d.d.d.d mask m.m.m.m g.g.g.g

these seem to work

I run a ping d.d.d.d -t change the route and it changes. (my test involved routing to a dead route and the ping stopped)

You don't need an extra table row to create space inside a table. See this jsFiddle.
(I made the gap light grey in colour, so you can see it, but you can change that to transparent.)

Using a table row just for display purposes is table abuse!

Create A Shortcut That Opens The Command Prompt & Runs A Command:

Yes! You can create a shortcut to cmd.exe with a command specified after it. Alternatively you could create a batch script, if your goal is just to have a clickable way to run commands.

Steps:

1. Right click on some empty space in Explorer, and in the context menu go to "New/Shortcut".

2. When prompted to enter a location put either:

"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k your-command" This will run the command and keep (/k) the command prompt open after.

or

"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c your-command" This will run the command and the close (/c) the command prompt.

Notes:

• Tested, and working on Windows 8 - Core X86-64 September 12 2014

• If you want to have more than one command, place an "&" symbol in between them. For example: "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k command1 & command2".

I know this is an old Question

But in case you want to do it programmatically or the java way

For Image Backgrounds; you can use BackgroundImage class

BackgroundImage myBI= new BackgroundImage(new Image("my url",32,32,false,true),
        BackgroundRepeat.REPEAT, BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT, BackgroundPosition.DEFAULT,
          BackgroundSize.DEFAULT);
//then you set to your node
myContainer.setBackground(new Background(myBI));

For Paint or Fill Backgrounds; you can use BackgroundFill class

BackgroundFill myBF = new BackgroundFill(Color.BLUEVIOLET, new CornerRadii(1),
         new Insets(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0));// or null for the padding
//then you set to your node or container or layout
myContainer.setBackground(new Background(myBF));

Keeps your java alive && your css dead..

If this is for some configuration file processing, consider using Apache configuration. https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/javadocs/v1.10/apidocs/index.html?org/apache/commons/configuration/PropertiesConfiguration.html It has way to multiple values to single key- The format is bit different though

key=value1,value2,valu3 gives three values against same key.

simple way:Add a "center" tag before the form tag

Mathematicians have their own little funny ways, so instead of saying "then we call function f passing it x as a parameter" as we programmers would say, they talk about "applying function f to its argument x".

In mathematics and computer science, Apply is a function that applies functions to arguments.
Wikipedia

apply serves the purpose of closing the gap between Object-Oriented and Functional paradigms in Scala. Every function in Scala can be represented as an object. Every function also has an OO type: for instance, a function that takes an Int parameter and returns an Int will have OO type of Function1[Int,Int].

 // define a function in scala
 (x:Int) => x + 1

 // assign an object representing the function to a variable
 val f = (x:Int) => x + 1

Since everything is an object in Scala f can now be treated as a reference to Function1[Int,Int] object. For example, we can call toString method inherited from Any, that would have been impossible for a pure function, because functions don't have methods:

  f.toString

Or we could define another Function1[Int,Int] object by calling compose method on f and chaining two different functions together:

 val f2 = f.compose((x:Int) => x - 1)

Now if we want to actually execute the function, or as mathematician say "apply a function to its arguments" we would call the apply method on the Function1[Int,Int] object:

 f2.apply(2)

Writing f.apply(args) every time you want to execute a function represented as an object is the Object-Oriented way, but would add a lot of clutter to the code without adding much additional information and it would be nice to be able to use more standard notation, such as f(args). That's where Scala compiler steps in and whenever we have a reference f to a function object and write f (args) to apply arguments to the represented function the compiler silently expands f (args) to the object method call f.apply (args).

Every function in Scala can be treated as an object and it works the other way too - every object can be treated as a function, provided it has the apply method. Such objects can be used in the function notation:

// we will be able to use this object as a function, as well as an object
object Foo {
  var y = 5
  def apply (x: Int) = x + y
}


Foo (1) // using Foo object in function notation 

There are many usage cases when we would want to treat an object as a function. The most common scenario is a factory pattern. Instead of adding clutter to the code using a factory method we can apply object to a set of arguments to create a new instance of an associated class:

List(1,2,3) // same as List.apply(1,2,3) but less clutter, functional notation

// the way the factory method invocation would have looked
// in other languages with OO notation - needless clutter
List.instanceOf(1,2,3) 

So apply method is just a handy way of closing the gap between functions and objects in Scala.

Im using a custom image instead of the default title text to the right of my apps logo. This is set up programatically like

    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.include_ab_txt_logo);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

The issues with the above answers for me are @Cliffus's suggestion does not work for me due to the issues others have outlined in the comments and while @dushyanth programatic padding setting may have worked in the past I would think that the fact that the spacing is now set using android:layout_marginEnd="8dip" since API 17 manually setting the padding should have no effect. See the link he posted to git to verify its current state.

A simple solution for me is to set a negative margin on my custom view in the actionBar, like so android:layout_marginLeft="-14dp". A quick test shows it works for me on 2.3.3 and 4.3 using ActionBarCompat

Hope this helps someone!

To expand on Solomon Rutzky's answer, if you are looking for a piece of data that shows up in a range (i.e. more than once but less than 5x), you can use

having count(*) > 1 and count(*) < 5

And you can use whatever qualifiers you desire in there - they don't have to match, it's all just included in the 'having' statement. https://webcheatsheet.com/sql/interactive_sql_tutorial/sql_having.php

Try:

$id =101;
$comments = EmailArchive::model()->findAll(
array("condition"=>"email_id =  $id","order"=>"id"));

OR

$id =101;
$criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$criteria->addCondition("email_id=:email_id");
$criteria->params = array(':email_id' => $id);
$comments = EmailArchive::model()->findAll($criteria);

OR

$Criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$Criteria->condition = "email_id = $id";
$Products = Product::model()->findAll($Criteria);

you must have record in table or array record in database.

example:

SELECT * FROM tabel_record
WHERE table_record.fieldName IN (SELECT fieldName FROM table_reference);

You could also try,

OIFS=$IFS;
IFS="\t";

animals=`cat animals.txt`
animalArray=$animals;

for animal in $animalArray
do
    echo $animal
done

IFS=$OIFS;

you could even do it in this way:

sudo -u postgres psql -d myDataBase -a -f myInsertFile

If you have sudo access on machine and it's not recommended for production scripts just for test on your own machine it's the easiest way.

yourbox {
   position: absolute;
   left: 100%;
   top: 0;
}

left:100%; is the important issue here!

We can calculate using mid point of line formula,

centre (x,y) =  new Point((boundRect.tl().x+boundRect.br().x)/2,(boundRect.tl().y+boundRect.br().y)/2)

Using the LOAD DATA INFILE SQL statement you can import the CSV file, but you can't update data. However, there is a trick you can use.

• Create another temporary table to use for the import

• Load onto this table from the CSC

  LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/file.csv'
  INTO TABLE temp_table
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
  LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
  (field1, field2, field3); 
  

• UPDATE the real table joining the table

  UPDATE maintable
  INNER JOIN temp_table A USING (field1)
  SET maintable.field1 = temp_table.field1
  

While constructs are terminated not with an End While but with a Wend.

While counter < 20
    counter = counter + 1
Wend

Note that this information is readily available in the documentation; just press F1. The page you link to deals with Visual Basic .NET, not VBA. While (no pun intended) there is some degree of overlap in syntax between VBA and VB.NET, one can't just assume that the documentation for the one can be applied directly to the other.

Also in the VBA help file:

Tip The Do...Loop statement provides a more structured and flexible way to perform looping.

It turns out I was missing the header information. The following works:

url = "http://localhost:8080"
data = {'sender': 'Alice', 'receiver': 'Bob', 'message': 'We did it!'}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

The easiest solution in Bash:

$ s='"abc"'
$ echo $s
"abc"
$ echo "${s:1:-1}"
abc

This is called substring expansion (see Gnu Bash Manual and search for ${parameter:offset:length}). In this example it takes the substring from s starting at position 1 and ending at the second last position. This is due to the fact that if length is a negative value it is interpreted as a backwards running offset from the end of parameter.

To expand upon the accepted answer by @Lucas:

Call this from your activity in one of the early life cycle events:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

Kotlin Example:

override fun onResume() {
  super.onResume()

  window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN)
}

You need to do it on the UI thread. Use:

Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => {GetGridData(null, 0)})); 

Here are a few things you cant do with email:

• Include a section with styles. Apple Mail.app supports it, but Gmail and Hotmail do not, so it's a no-no. Hotmail will support a style section in the body but Gmail still doesn't.
• Link to an external stylesheet. Not many email clients support this, best to just forget it.
• Background-image / Background-position. Gmail is also the culprit on this one.
• Clear your floats. Gmail again.
• Margin. Yep, seriously, Hotmail ignores margins. Basically any CSS positioning at all doesn't work.
• Font-anything. Chances are Eudora will ignore anything you try to declare with fonts.

You can use RegularExpressionValidator

<asp:TextBox ID="viewTextBox" runat="server" Text="0"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="viewRegularExpressionValidator" runat="server" ValidationExpression="[0-9]{1,50}" ControlToValidate="viewTextBox" ErrorMessage="Please Enter numbers only">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

You could also use GenerationType.TABLE instead of IDENTITY which is only available after the insert.

You need an HTML page to load a JS file.

try

driver.executeScript("window.location.href='http://www.sina.com.cn'")

this statement will return immediately.

And after that , you can add a WebDriverWait with timeout to check if the page title or any element is ok.

Hope this will help you.

It is giving you the warning because the image description is not defined.

We can resolve this warning by adding this code below in Strings.xml and activity_main.xml

Add this line below in Strings.xml

<string name="imgDescription">Background Picture</string>
you image will be like that:
<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView2"
        android:lay`enter code hereout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/imgDescription"
        app:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
        app:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/background1"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp" />

Also add this line in activity_main.xml

android:contentDescription="@string/imgDescription"

Strings.xml

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">Saini_Browser</string>
    <string name="SainiBrowser">textView2</string>
    <string name="imgDescription">BackGround Picture</string>
</resources>

Because the interpreter is not a shell where you provide commands, it's - well - an interpreter. The things that you give to it are Python code.

The syntax of Python is such that exit, by itself, cannot possibly be anything other than a name for an object. Simply referring to an object can't actually do anything (except what the read-eval-print loop normally does; i.e. display a string representation of the object).

Unfortunately none of the above solved the problem for me.

I didn't want to edit the bootstrap-responsive.css so I went the easy way:

1. Create a css with priority over bootstrap-responsive.css
2. Copy all the content of the @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) (line 461 with latest bootstrap version 2.3.1 as of today)
3. Paste it in your high priority css
4. In your css, put @media (min-width: 979px) in the place where it said @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) before. This sets the from 768 to 979 style to everything above 768.

That's it. It's not optimal, you will have duplicated css, but it works 100% perfect!

To my knowledge, StackOverflow has lots of people asking this question in various ways, but nobody has answered it completely yet.

My spec called for the user to be able to choose email, twitter, facebook, or SMS, with custom text for each one. Here is how I accomplished that:

public void onShareClick(View v) {
    Resources resources = getResources();

    Intent emailIntent = new Intent();
    emailIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    // Native email client doesn't currently support HTML, but it doesn't hurt to try in case they fix it
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.share_email_native)));
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.share_email_subject));
    emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");

    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);     
    sendIntent.setType("text/plain");


    Intent openInChooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, resources.getString(R.string.share_chooser_text));

    List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = pm.queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);
    List<LabeledIntent> intentList = new ArrayList<LabeledIntent>();        
    for (int i = 0; i < resInfo.size(); i++) {
        // Extract the label, append it, and repackage it in a LabeledIntent
        ResolveInfo ri = resInfo.get(i);
        String packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName;
        if(packageName.contains("android.email")) {
            emailIntent.setPackage(packageName);
        } else if(packageName.contains("twitter") || packageName.contains("facebook") || packageName.contains("mms") || packageName.contains("android.gm")) {
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, ri.activityInfo.name));
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            intent.setType("text/plain");
            if(packageName.contains("twitter")) {
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_twitter));
            } else if(packageName.contains("facebook")) {
                // Warning: Facebook IGNORES our text. They say "These fields are intended for users to express themselves. Pre-filling these fields erodes the authenticity of the user voice."
                // One workaround is to use the Facebook SDK to post, but that doesn't allow the user to choose how they want to share. We can also make a custom landing page, and the link
                // will show the <meta content ="..."> text from that page with our link in Facebook.
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_facebook));
            } else if(packageName.contains("mms")) {
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_sms));
            } else if(packageName.contains("android.gm")) { // If Gmail shows up twice, try removing this else-if clause and the reference to "android.gm" above
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.share_email_gmail)));
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.share_email_subject));               
                intent.setType("message/rfc822");
            }

            intentList.add(new LabeledIntent(intent, packageName, ri.loadLabel(pm), ri.icon));
        }
    }

    // convert intentList to array
    LabeledIntent[] extraIntents = intentList.toArray( new LabeledIntent[ intentList.size() ]);

    openInChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, extraIntents);
    startActivity(openInChooser);       
}

I found bits of how to do this in various places, but I haven't seen all of it in one place anywhere else.

Note that this method also hides all the silly options that I don't want, like sharing over wifi and bluetooth.

Hope this helps someone.

Edit: In a comment, I was asked to explain what this code is doing. Basically, it's creating an ACTION_SEND intent for the native email client ONLY, then tacking other intents onto the chooser. Making the original intent email-specific gets rid of all the extra junk like wifi and bluetooth, then I grab the other intents I want from a generic ACTION_SEND of type plain-text, and tack them on before showing the chooser.

When I grab the additional intents, I set custom text for each one.

Edit2: It's been awhile since I posted this, and things have changed a bit. If you are seeing gmail twice in the list of options, try removing the special handling for "android.gm" as suggested in a comment by @h_k below.

Since this one answer is the source of nearly all my stackoverflow reputation points, I have to at least try to keep it up to date.

You can use either "=" or "==" operators for string comparison in bash. The important factor is the spacing within the brackets. The proper method is for brackets to contain spacing within, and operators to contain spacing around. In some instances different combinations work; however, the following is intended to be a universal example.

if [ "$1" == "something" ]; then     ## GOOD

if [ "$1" = "something" ]; then      ## GOOD

if [ "$1"="something" ]; then        ## BAD (operator spacing)

if ["$1" == "something"]; then       ## BAD (bracket spacing)

Also, note double brackets are handled slightly differently compared to single brackets ...

if [[ $a == z* ]]; then   # True if $a starts with a "z" (pattern matching).
if [[ $a == "z*" ]]; then # True if $a is equal to z* (literal matching).

if [ $a == z* ]; then     # File globbing and word splitting take place.
if [ "$a" == "z*" ]; then # True if $a is equal to z* (literal matching).

I hope that helps!

This solution will only work if you have tree installed on your system. However I'm leaving this solution here just in case it helps someone else out.

You can tell tree to output the tree structure as XML (tree -X) or JSON (tree -J). JSON of course can be parsed directly with python and XML can easily be read with lxml.

With the following directory structure as an example:

[sri@localhost Projects]$ tree --charset=ascii bands
bands
|-- DreamTroll
|   |-- MattBaldwinson
|   |-- members.txt
|   |-- PaulCarter
|   |-- SimonBlakelock
|   `-- Rob Stringer
|-- KingsX
|   |-- DougPinnick
|   |-- JerryGaskill
|   |-- members.txt
|   `-- TyTabor
|-- Megadeth
|   |-- DaveMustaine
|   |-- DavidEllefson
|   |-- DirkVerbeuren
|   |-- KikoLoureiro
|   `-- members.txt
|-- Nightwish
|   |-- EmppuVuorinen
|   |-- FloorJansen
|   |-- JukkaNevalainen
|   |-- MarcoHietala
|   |-- members.txt
|   |-- TroyDonockley
|   `-- TuomasHolopainen
`-- Rush
    |-- AlexLifeson

The accepted answer did not work for me. I followed the steps on this blog.

A key point that was missing for me was that I needed to download and install the URL Rewrite Tool for IIS. I found it here. The result was the following.

<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <remove name="Http to Https" />
            <rule name="Http to Https" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="*" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
                </conditions>
                <serverVariables />
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTPS_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

You can try this:

CommandArgument='<%# "scrapid=" + Eval("ScrapId")+"&"+"UserId="+ Eval("UserId")%>'

Take selected value:

worksheet name = ordls
form control list box name = DEPDB1

selectvalue = ordls.Shapes("DEPDB1").ControlFormat.List(ordls.Shapes("DEPDB1").ControlFormat.Value)

Agreed with the answer from sll, but experienced another hurdle which was having specified a namespace in the attributes, when receiving the return xml that namespace wasn't included and thus failed finding the class.

i had to find a workaround to specifying the namespace in the attribute and it worked.

ie.

[Serializable()]
    [XmlRoot("Patient", Namespace = "http://www.xxxx.org/TargetNamespace")]
    public class Patient

generated

<Patient xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.xxxx.org/TargetNamespace">

but I had to change it to

[Serializable()]
[XmlRoot("Patient")]
public class Patient

which generated to

<Patient xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

This solved my problem, hope it helps someone else.

You need the table name/alias in the SELECT part (maybe (vg.id, name)) :

SELECT (vg.id, name) FROM v_groups vg 
inner join people2v_groups p2vg on vg.id = p2vg.v_group_id
where p2vg.people_id =0;

mkdir()

creates only one directory at a time, if it is parent that one only. other wise it can create the sub directory(if the specified path is existed only) and do not create any directories in between any two directories. so it can not create smultiple directories in one directory

mkdirs()

create the multiple directories(in between two directories also) at a time.

Solution

1. Create new UNIQUE key that is identical to your current PRIMARY key
2. Add new column id is unsigned integer, auto_increment
3. Create primary key on new id column

Bam, immediate 10x+ insert improvement.

EncodeAndSend is not a static function, which means it can be called on an instance of the class CPMSifDlg. You cannot write this:

 CPMSifDlg::EncodeAndSend(/*...*/);  //wrong - EncodeAndSend is not static

It should rather be called as:

 CPMSifDlg dlg; //create instance, assuming it has default constructor!
 dlg.EncodeAndSend(/*...*/);   //correct 

I ran into this problem myself. The only solution I have is to record the macro in an excel workbook first. Then, drag and drop THE MODULE from the open workbook into the add-in modules. This will be a copy of the above module, but the keyboard shortcut you assigned to it will thankfully persist.

I just record a garbage macro and move it in there, then copy the code from my real module afterwords.

Felt so great to figure this out, I felt like I had to reply to the 5 year old posts I found on the subject!!!

There is an ambiguity and so error. Best way is to exclude the current migration file and create new migration(add-migration) file and then copy the content of new migration to excluded file and include it again and run update-database command.

Change

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>

to

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="false"/>

You're telling WCF to use https for the metadata endpoint and I see that your'e exposing your service on http, and then you get the error in the title.

You also have to set <security mode="None" /> if you want to use HTTP as your URL suggests.

You can use var_dump() function to display structured information about variables/expressions including its type and value, or you can use print_r() to display information about a variable in a way that's readable by humans.

Example: Say we have got the following array and we want to display its contents.

$arr = array ('xyz', false, true, 99, array('50'));

print_r() function - Displays human-readable output

Array
(
    [0] => xyz
    [1] =>
    [2] => 1
    [3] => 99
    [4] => Array
        (
            [0] => 50
        )
)

var_dump() function - Displays values and types

array(5) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "xyz"
  [1]=>
  bool(false)
  [2]=>
  bool(true)
  [3]=>
  int(100)
  [4]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(2) "50"
  }
}

The functions used in this answer can be found on the PHP.net website var_dump(), print_r()

String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)

In other words you know your string will be 10 characers long so you would do:

FinalDate = date.substring(0,9);

Here's a function I wrote for another answer: Javascript Image Url Verify. I don't know if it's exactly what you need, but it uses the various techniques that you would use which include handlers for onload, onerror, onabort and a general timeout.

Because image loading is asynchronous, you call this function with your image and then it calls your callback sometime later with the result.

As Mystere Man suggested, getting just a view first and then again making an ajax call again to get the json result is unnecessary in this case. that is 2 calls to the server. I think you can directly return an HTML table of Users in the first call.

We will do this in this way. We will have a strongly typed view which will return the markup of list of users to the browser and this data is being supplied by an action method which we will invoke from our browser using an http request.

Have a ViewModel for the User

public class UserViewModel
{
  public int UserID { set;get;}
  public string FirstName { set;get;}
   //add remaining properties as per your requirement

}

and in your controller have a method to get a list of Users

public class UserController : Controller
{

   [HttpGet]
   public ActionResult List()
   {
     List<UserViewModel> objList=UserService.GetUsers();  // this method should returns list of  Users
     return View("users",objList)        
   }
}

Assuming that UserService.GetUsers() method will return a List of UserViewModel object which represents the list of usres in your datasource (Tables)

and in your users.cshtml ( which is under Views/User folder),

 @model List<UserViewModel>

 <table>

 @foreach(UserViewModel objUser in Model)
 {
   <tr>
      <td>@objUser.UserId.ToString()</td>
      <td>@objUser.FirstName</td>
   </tr>
 }
 </table>

All Set now you can access the url like yourdomain/User/List and it will give you a list of users in an HTML table.

<div>
    <input type="checkbox">
    <img src="/image.png" />
</div>

input[type="checkbox"]
{
    margin-top: -50%;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Use Jenkins CLI like this:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://[jenkins_server] groovy = < pluginEnumerator.groovy

= in the call means 'read from standard input'. pluginEnumerator.groovy contains the following Groovy code:

println "Running plugin enumerator"
println ""
def plugins = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getPluginManager().getPlugins()
plugins.each {println "${it.getShortName()} - ${it.getVersion()}"}
println ""
println "Total number of plugins: ${plugins.size()}"

If you would like to play with the code, here's Jenkins Java API documentation.

I am using the following code in one of my current projects where i download data from the internet. It is all inside my activity class.

// ---------------------------- START DownloadFileAsync // -----------------------//
class DownloadFileAsync extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        // DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS is defined as 0 at start of class
        showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
        try {
            String xmlUrl = urls[0];

            URL u = new URL(xmlUrl);
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
            c.setRequestMethod("GET");
            c.setDoOutput(true);
            c.connect();

            int lengthOfFile = c.getContentLength();

            InputStream in = c.getInputStream();

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            long total = 0;

            while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                total += len1; // total = total + len1
                publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
                xmlContent += buffer;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("Downloader", e.getMessage());
        }
        return null;
    }

    protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
        Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", progress[0]);
        mProgressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
        dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
    }

}

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    switch (id) {
    case DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS:
        mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        mProgressDialog.setMessage("Retrieving latest announcements...");
        mProgressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        mProgressDialog.setMax(100);
        mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
        mProgressDialog.setCancelable(true);
        mProgressDialog.show();
        return mProgressDialog;
    default:
        return null;
    }

JonSkeet has a good answer but as an alternative if you wanted to keep the result more portable you could convert the date into an ISO 8601 format which could then be read into most other frameworks but this may fall outside your requirements.

value.ToUniversalTime().ToString("O");

To receive the new commits

git fetch

Reset

You can reset the commit for a local branch using git reset.

To change the commit of a local branch:

git reset origin/master --hard

Be careful though, as the documentation puts it:

Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit> are discarded.

If you want to actually keep whatever changes you've got locally - do a --soft reset instead. Which will update the commit history for the branch, but not change any files in the working directory (and you can then commit them).

Rebase

You can replay your local commits on top of any other commit/branch using git rebase:

git rebase -i origin/master

This will invoke rebase in interactive mode where you can choose how to apply each individual commit that isn't in the history you are rebasing on top of.

If the commits you removed (with git push -f) have already been pulled into the local history, they will be listed as commits that will be reapplied - they would need to be deleted as part of the rebase or they will simply be re-included into the history for the branch - and reappear in the remote history on the next push.

Use the help git command --help for more details and examples on any of the above (or other) commands.

Once java-8 is out (March 2014) you'll be able to use streams:

int sum = IntStream.of(a).sum();

or even

int sum = IntStream.of(a).parallel().sum();

In my implementation, the cell I was referencing could have been several options. I used the following format where 'ws' is the current worksheet being edited

For each ws in Activeworkbook.Worksheets
    For i…
       For j...
...
ws.Cells(i, j).Value = "=HYPERLINK(""#'" & SHEET-REF-VAR & "'!" & CELL-REF-VAR & """,""" & SHEET-REF-VAR & """)"

Your code works. If you don't have any output, you may have "forgotten" to add some values to the list:

// add values
list.add("one");
list.add("two");

// your code
for (String object: list) {
    System.out.println(object);
}

To simply append to a file in powershell,you can use add-content.

So, to only add a new line to the file, try the following, where $YourNewDate and $YourDescription contain the desired values.

$NewLine = "{0},{1}" -f $YourNewDate,$YourDescription
$NewLine | add-content -path $file

Or,

"{0},{1}" -f $YourNewDate,$YourDescription | add-content -path $file

This will just tag the new line to the end of the .csv, and will not work for creating new .csv files where you will need to add the header.

For httpclient 4.1.x you can set the proxy like this (taken from this example):

    HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("127.0.0.1", 8080, "http");

    DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    try {
        httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy);

        HttpHost target = new HttpHost("issues.apache.org", 443, "https");
        HttpGet req = new HttpGet("/");

        System.out.println("executing request to " + target + " via " + proxy);
        HttpResponse rsp = httpclient.execute(target, req);
        ...
    } finally {
        // When HttpClient instance is no longer needed,
        // shut down the connection manager to ensure
        // immediate deallocation of all system resources
        httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
    }

There are various scripts floating around that will do that depending on how crazy you want to get. I would personally use Pete Finnigan's find_all_privs script.

If you want to write it yourself, the query gets rather challenging. Users can be granted system privileges which are visible in DBA_SYS_PRIVS. They can be granted object privileges which are visible in DBA_TAB_PRIVS. And they can be granted roles which are visible in DBA_ROLE_PRIVS (roles can be default or non-default and can require a password as well, so just because a user has been granted a role doesn't mean that the user can necessarily use the privileges he acquired through the role by default). But those roles can, in turn, be granted system privileges, object privileges, and additional roles which can be viewed by looking at ROLE_SYS_PRIVS, ROLE_TAB_PRIVS, and ROLE_ROLE_PRIVS. Pete's script walks through those relationships to show all the privileges that end up flowing to a user.

Is this what you are wanting?

declaring the list (and initializing it with an empty arraylist)

List<Card> cardList = new ArrayList<Card>();

adding an element:

Card card;
cardList.add(card);

iterating over elements:

for(Card card : cardList){
    System.out.println(card);
}

Today, I have used this feature, so here's my very fresh real-life example. (I have changed class and method names to generic ones so they won't distract from the actual point.)

I have a method that's meant to accept a Set of A objects that I originally wrote with this signature:

void myMethod(Set<A> set)

But it want to actually call it with Sets of subclasses of A. But this is not allowed! (The reason for that is, myMethod could add objects to set that are of type A, but not of the subtype that set's objects are declared to be at the caller's site. So this could break the type system if it were possible.)

Now here come generics to the rescue, because it works as intended if I use this method signature instead:

<T extends A> void myMethod(Set<T> set)

or shorter, if you don't need to use the actual type in the method body:

void myMethod(Set<? extends A> set)

This way, set's type becomes a collection of objects of the actual subtype of A, so it becomes possible to use this with subclasses without endangering the type system.

Found a site on google explaining some changes, according to the author of the page fb does not allow custom buttons. Heres the website.

Unfortunately, it’s against Facebook’s developer policies, which state:

You must not circumvent our intended limitations on core Facebook features.

The Facebook Connect button is intended to be rendered in FBML, which means it’s only meant to look the way Facebook lets it.

You should use TryParse - Parse throws an exception if the string is not a valid number - e.g. if you want to test for a valid integer:

int v;
if (Int32.TryParse(textMyText.Text.Trim(), out v)) {
  . . .
}

If you want to test for a valid floating-point number:

double v;
if (Double.TryParse(textMyText.Text.Trim(), out v)) {
  . . .
}

Note also that Double.TryParse has an overloaded version with extra parameters specifying various rules and options controlling the parsing process - e.g. localization ('.' or ',') - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3s27fasw.aspx.

Create a new variable Count with a value of 1 for each row:

df1["Count"] <-1

Then aggregate dataframe, summing by the Count column:

df2 <- aggregate(df1[c("Count")], by=list(Year=df1$Year, Month=df1$Month), FUN=sum, na.rm=TRUE)

There seems to be a really easy solution when dealing with data type issues.

Basically, at the end of Excel connection string, add ;IMEX=1;"

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\YOURSERVER\shared\Client Projects\FOLDER\Data\FILE.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1";

This will resolve data type issues such as columns where values are mixed with text and numbers.

To get to connection property, right click on Excel connection manager below control flow and hit properties. It'll be to the right under solution explorer. Hope that helps.

if you add the rule to the print.css file you don't have to use @media.

I uncluded it in the smarty foreach i use to give some elements a background color.

<script type='text/javascript'>_x000D_
  document.styleSheets[3].insertRule(" #caldiv_<?smarty $item.calendar_id ?> { border-color:<?smarty $item.color ?> }", 1);_x000D_
</script>

You have to convert the type of your return value of the method to the Generic type which you pass to the method during calling.

    public static T values<T>()
    {
        Random random = new Random();
        int number = random.Next(1, 4);
        return (T)Convert.ChangeType(number, typeof(T));
    }

You need pass a type that is type casteable for the value you return through that method.

If you would want to return a value which is not type casteable to the generic type you pass, you might have to alter the code or make sure you pass a type that is casteable for the return value of method. So, this approach is not reccomended.

From RFC 5321, section 2.3.11:

The standard mailbox naming convention is defined to be "local-part@domain"; contemporary usage permits a much broader set of applications than simple "user names". Consequently, and due to a long history of problems when intermediate hosts have attempted to optimize transport by modifying them, the local-part MUST be interpreted and assigned semantics only by the host specified in the domain part of the address.

So yes, the part before the "@" could be case-sensitive, since it is entirely under the control of the host system. In practice though, no widely used mail systems distinguish different addresses based on case.

The part after the @ sign however is the domain and according to RFC 1035, section 3.1,

"Name servers and resolvers must compare [domains] in a case-insensitive manner"

In short, you are safe to treat email addresses as case-insensitive.

In my case (an iOS Phonegap app), applying translate3d to relative child elements did not resolve the issue. My scrollable element didn't have a set height as it was absolutely positioned and I was defining the top and bottom positions. What fixed it for me was adding a min-height (of 100px).

If you're looking for a particular change, use git bisect to find the change in log(n) views by splitting the number of commits in half until you find where what you're looking for changed.

Also consider looking back in history using git blame to follow changes to the line in question if you know what that is. This command shows the most recent revision to affect a certain line. You may have to go back a few versions to find the first change where something was introduced if somebody has tweaked it over time, but that could give you a good start.

Finally, gitk as a GUI does show me the patch immediately for any commit I click on.

Example :

An Endpoint is specified as a relative or absolute url that usually results in a response. That response is usually the result of a server-side process that, could, for instance, produce a JSON string. That string can then be consumed by the application that made the call to the endpoint. So, in general endpoints are predefined access points, used within TCP/IP networks to initiate a process and/or return a response. Endpoints could contain parameters passed within the URL, as key value pairs, multiple key value pairs are separated by an ampersand, allowing the endpoint to call, for example, an update/insert process; so endpoints don’t always need to return a response, but a response is always useful, even if it is just to indicate the success or failure of an operation.

If you have SublimeLinter installed, your theme (at least it ST3) may end up in .../Packages/User/SublimeLinter/[ your-chosen-theme ]

As mentioned above - find the nested 'settings' dict and edit or add the 'lineHighlight' entry with your desired #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA. I like #0000AA99 when on a black(ish) background.

Handy tool if you do not know your color combinations: RGBtoHEX and HEXtoRGB

Don't give up. Linux can do it with the right hardware, via "USB Gadgets." And giving the following facts:

1. My old Nokia N95 could use it's USB to be a "Mass Storage Device", a "Media Player", "a GSM modem", or to print photos.
2. I can plug an iPhone into an iPad via a the Apple USB-Camera passive adapter, and they transfer pictures.
3. iPhone can obvious present as a number of things, e.g. when they go into DFU.

Why is all this relevant?

Because if I was writing a linux phone I know what it would do, and how it would do it. And the answer would involve USB Gadgets.

Reading one of the links that was posted here,

It's the Linux kernel, the code is in drivers/usb/gadget/ in the kernel.org tree if you are interested. Android does have a few specific gadget patches that are not in mainline, but it's not all that much. You can see all of this by just checking out their kernel git tree, no need to bother their developers.

I would guess that you would have a shot at it - but it would involve recompiling the android kernel/operating system - or at least having a build environment in which you /could/ rebuild the kernel if you wanted.

BTW, I have an Atmel NGW100mkII, which support USB gadgets, but doesn't ship with the HID module. And I'll be having to do the above and more.

Here is a code with some minor modification in Bourne's answer. As JSON.parse(number) works fine without any exception so added isNaN.

function isJson(str) {
    try {
        JSON.parse(str);
    } catch (e) {
        return false;
    }
    return isNaN(str);
}

You will need to know if the REST API you are calling supports GET or POST, or both methods. The code below is something that works for me, I'm calling my own web service API, so I already know what the API takes and what it will return. It supports both GET and POST methods, so the less sensitive info goes into the URL (GET), and the info like username and password is submitted as POST variables. Also, everything goes over the HTTPS connection.

Inside the API code, I encode an array I want to return into json format, then simply use PHP command echo $my_json_variable to make that json string availabe to the client.

So as you can see, my API returns json data, but you need to know (or look at the returned data to find out) what format the response from the API is in.

This is how I connect to the API from the client side:

$processed = FALSE;
$ERROR_MESSAGE = '';

// ************* Call API:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.myapi.com/api.php?format=json&action=subscribe&email=" . $email_to_subscribe);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);// set post data to true
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"username=myname&password=mypass");   // post data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

// returned json string will look like this: {"code":1,"data":"OK"}
// "code" may contain an error code and "data" may contain error string instead of "OK"
$obj = json_decode($json);

if ($obj->{'code'} == '1')
{
  $processed = TRUE;
}else{
  $ERROR_MESSAGE = $obj->{'data'};
}

...

if (!$processed && $ERROR_MESSAGE != '') {
    echo $ERROR_MESSAGE;
}

BTW, I also tried to use file_get_contents() method as some of the users here suggested, but that din't work well for me. I found out the curl method to be faster and more reliable.

Well! I observer Heroku is famous in budding and newly born developers while AWS has advanced developer persona. DigitalOcean is also a major player in this ground. Cloudways has made it much easy to create Lamp stack in a click on DigitalOcean and AWS. Having all services and packages updates in a click is far better than doing all thing manually.

The first 2 examples act very differently if you are REPLACING them by something. If you match on this:

str = str.replace(/^(7|8|9)/ig,''); 

you would replace 7 or 8 or 9 by the empty string.

If you match on this

str = str.replace(/^[7|8|9]/ig,''); 

you will replace 7 or 8 or 9 OR THE VERTICAL BAR!!!! by the empty string.

I just found this out the hard way.

Alternatively,

1) Without touching System.Reflection namespace,

GETNAME(new { myInput });

public static string GETNAME<T>(T myInput) where T : class
{
    if (myInput == null)
        return string.Empty;

    return myInput.ToString().TrimStart('{').TrimEnd('}').Split('=')[0].Trim();
}

2) The below one can be faster though (from my tests)

GETNAME(new { variable });
public static string GETNAME<T>(T myInput) where T : class
{
    if (myInput == null)
        return string.Empty;

    return typeof(T).GetProperties()[0].Name;
}

You can also extend this for properties of objects (may be with extension methods):

new { myClass.MyProperty1 }.GETNAME();

You can cache property values to improve performance further as property names don't change during runtime.

The Expression approach is going to be slower for my taste. To get parameter name and value together in one go see this answer of mine
