I'm trying to make a snippet that inserts the last two directorys of the current filepath.
My code:
${TM_DIRECTORY/\\(.*)\\([a-zA-Z]+)\\([a-zA-Z]+)/$1\\$2/}
So when Filepath is
"...\htdocs\projectname\src"
the output should be
"projectname\src".
But instead I get this result:
${TM_DIRECTORY/(.*)\\([a-zA-Z]+)\\([a-zA-Z]+)/$1/}
What am I doing wrong?
Problem:
The issue is the code converts \\ to \. For example if you want to write \w, then you have to write \\win snippet.
The same way.. You have to write \\\\ in snippet json, so that it shall convert into //.
Solution:
${TM_DIRECTORY/.*?\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\\\[a-zA-Z]+)$/$1/}
or, I think you should use \w instead of [a-zA-Z] because the directory name can contain some characters like - or _ etc.
${TM_DIRECTORY/.*?\\\\(\\w+\\\\\\w+)$/$1/}

In vue, is there a way to have a value span multiple lines in an .env file. Ex:
Instead of:
someValue=[{"someValue":"Here is a really really long piece which should be split into multiple lines"}]
I want to do something like:
someValue=`[{"someValue":"Here is a really
really long piece which
should be split into multiple lines"}]`
Doing the latter gives me a JSON parsing error if I try to do JSON.parse(someValue) in my code
I don't know if this will work, but I can't format a comment appropriately enough to get the point across so see if this will work:
someValue=[{"someValue":"Here is a really\
really long piece which\
should be split into multiple lines"}]
Where "\" should escape the newline similar to how you can write long bash commands while escaping the newline. I'm not certain the .env interpreter will support it though.
EDIT
Looks like this won't work. This syntax was actually proposed, but I don't think it was incorporated. See motdotla/dotenv#333 (which is what Vue uses to parse .env).
Like #zero298 said, this isn't possible. Likely you could delimit the entry with a character that wouldn't show up normally in the text (^ is a good candidate), then parse it within the application using string.replace('^', '\n');
I am using a VB to run .bat file and to pass arguments to it.
Right now I managed to run it and to send the arguments to it, but ran into a problem. My arguments might contain spaces inside. I was trying to use quotes, but it didn't seem to work as I expected. So what I am doing:
Running this code: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Users\XXXXXXX\Desktop\New.bat", """"+data+"""")
where 'data' is the argument I am sending. For testing it contains the value:
Hel loo
Inside the .bat file I have a code, that opens notepad and writes the argument inside it. With this code I have managed to pass the argument as one with spaces, but the result is:
"Hel loo"
Any ideas how to get rid of the quotes on each side, while still passing the argument as one with spaces?
I cannot escape them or replace with another symbol. This solution needs to pass the argument as one with spaces inside. Is this possible? The program I am working with is not important.
EDIT
This is the content of the .bat file:
set directory_Rexe="C:\Users\XXXXXXX\Desktop\testBat.txt"
set var=%1
echo %var%>%directory_Rexe%
%directory_Rexe%
You have three options here:
Use %~1, which will strip the quotes.
Don't care about putting everything into argument 1 and quoting and use %* instead. You mentioned not wanting that, though.
Don't pass the string as an argument, but as an environment variable instead. This also helps a lot when you have a number of characters in it that need to be escaped.
All options require you to change the batch file, though.
I'd also question the need for a batch file when you have a perfectly capable programming language already at your fingertips. Writing text to a file should actually be easier from VB.
I am trying to take a string like "Hello my name is Nick" and transform it to "Hello+my+name+is+Nick" to be passed through a URL. This would be easily done by replacing all the spaces with a + char however I also need to replace all special characters (. , ! &) with their ASCII values. I have searched the net but cannot find anything. I wonder if anyone knows of existing code to do this as its a fairly common task?
I think you're looking for this: HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method (String)
Handles non-URL compliant characters and spaces.
I am trying to write a VB function to strip unwanted characters from a string. It is for generating a 'clean' url from data that has been inputted into a CMS. Someone has copied and pasted from a Word document and so there appears to be an mdash or ndash in the product title. This results in ─ appearing instead of -
I have tried a Replace(text, Chr(196), Chr(45)) but it isn't working so it can't be 196. Is there a tool or something where I can copy this character and paste it into the tool and it will tell me what char code it is?
Thanks.
You can make your program write out the Character Code using the finction Asc()
Response.write Asc("-") would write out
45
for example.
Try here or here. From 2nd link I can see that your char is alt150
I've made some good progress with my first attempt at a program, but have hit another road block. I'm taking standard output (as a string) froma console CMD window (results of dsquery piped to dsget) and have found small rectangles in the output. I tried using Regex to clean the little bastards but it seems they are related to the _ (underscore), which I need to keep (to return 2000/NT logins). Odd thing is - when I copy the caharcter and paste it into VS2K10 Express it acts like a carrige return??
Any ideas on finding out what these little SOB's are -- and how to remove them?
Going to try using /U or /A CMD switch next..
The square is often just used whenever a character is not displayable. The character could very well be a CR. You can use a Regular Expression to just get normal characters or remove the CR LF characters using string.replace.
You mentioned that you are using the string.replace function, and I am wondering if you are replacing the wrong character or something like that. If all your trying to do is remove a carriage return I would skip the regular expressions and stick with the string.replace.
Something like this should work...
strInputString = strInputString.replace(chr(13), "")
If not could you post a line or two of code.
On a side note, this might give some other examples....
