The problem there is that you have to change the Character Encoding options from NSUnicodeStringEncoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding to load your of your html the proper way. I think you should create a string extension read-only computed property to convert your html code to attributed string: Xcode 8.3.1 • Swift 3.1 extension Data { var attributedString: … Read more
Since your input is a string in the form 03.09.13, I’ll assume (since today is September 3, 2013) that it’s dd.mm.yy. You can convert it to a date using STR_TO_DATE: STR_TO_DATE(myVal, ‘%d.%m.%y’) Then you can format it back to a string using DATE_FORMAT: DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(myVal, ‘%d.%m.%y’), ‘%Y-%m-%d’) Note that the year is %y (lowercase “y”) in … Read more
It’s nice to see so many solutions: ~A, ~<, and ~{ so far. The ~@{ iteration construct provides a concise solution: (format nil “~v@{~A~:*~}” 3 #\*)
You’ve all pretty much nailed this already. But it’s a little challenging to follow. So let me take a stab at summarizing what you’ve said… That difficulties here are that: We are playing with a temporary ostringstream object, so taking addresses is contra-indicated. Because it’s a temporary, we cannot trivially convert to an ostream object … Read more
DateFormat.getDateInstance(int,Locale) For example: import static java.text.DateFormat.*; DateFormat f = getDateInstance(SHORT, Locale.ENGLISH); Then you can use this object to format Dates: String d = f.format(new Date()); If you actually want to know the underlying pattern (e.g. yyyy-MMM-dd) then, as you’ll get a SimpleDateFormat object back: SimpleDateFormat sf = (SimpleDateFormat) f; String p1 = sf.toPattern(); String p2 … Read more
Here’s the idiom I like for making functionality identical to ‘sprintf’, but returning a std::string, and immune to buffer overflow problems. This code is part of an open source project that I’m writing (BSD license), so everybody feel free to use this as you wish. #include <string> #include <cstdarg> #include <vector> #include <string> std::string format … Read more
Normally the code is just: echo date(‘F d, Y h:mA’, strtotime(‘2009-10-14 19:00:00′)); Note that if strtotime() can’t figure out the date, it returns the time as 1/1/1970 00:00:00 GMT.

You can do something like this: Console.WriteLine(String.Format(“{0,-10} | {1,5}”, “Bill”, 51)); You’ll get “51” aligned to right on 5 characters. More examples here: Align String with Spaces. For official reference, see Composite Formatting
for library: phonenumbers (pypi, source) Python version of Google’s common library for parsing, formatting, storing and validating international phone numbers. The readme is insufficient, but I found the code well documented.
