While it may be possible to parse arbitrary HTML with regular expressions, it’s often a death trap. There are great tools out there for parsing HTML, including BeautifulSoup, which is a Python lib that can handle broken as well as good HTML fairly well. >>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as BSHTML >>> BS = BSHTML(“”” … Read more
I open-sourced a C# Http form parser here. This is slightly more flexible than the other one mentioned which is on CodePlex, since you can use it for both Multipart and non-Multipart form-data, and also it gives you other form parameters formatted in a Dictionary object. This can be used as follows: non-multipart public void … Read more
The example you provided should not generate an error. I tested it and $linkthumb contained the string “example text string” as expected Ensure the media namespace is defined in the returned XML otherwise DOMDocument will error out. If you are getting a specific error, please edit your post to include it Edit: Try the following … Read more
Here are some ideas: (0) Explain “a file” and “occasionally”: do you really mean it works sometimes and fails sometimes with the same file? Do the following for each failing file: (1) Find out what is in the file at the point that it is complaining about: text = open(“the_file.xml”, “rb”).read() err_col = 52459 print … Read more
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(“yyyyMMdd”); Date date = format.parse(“20120405”);
I wrote a javascript function inspirated by node-iniparser.js function parseINIString(data){ var regex = { section: /^\s*\[\s*([^\]]*)\s*\]\s*$/, param: /^\s*([^=]+?)\s*=\s*(.*?)\s*$/, comment: /^\s*;.*$/ }; var value = {}; var lines = data.split(/[\r\n]+/); var section = null; lines.forEach(function(line){ if(regex.comment.test(line)){ return; }else if(regex.param.test(line)){ var match = line.match(regex.param); if(section){ value[section][match[1]] = match[2]; }else{ value[match[1]] = match[2]; } }else if(regex.section.test(line)){ var match … Read more
Ok, so I think I have figured this all out now thanks to more reading, experimenting and the other helpful answers here. What’s happening is that H, m and s actually grabs two digits when they can, even if there won’t be enough digits for the rest of the format. So for example with the … Read more
Write your own custom split-function: input_string = “””{J. Doe, R. Starr}, {Lorem {i}psum dolor }, Dol. sit., am. et.””” expected = [‘{J. Doe, R. Starr}’, ‘{Lorem\n{i}psum dolor }’, ‘Dol. sit.’, ‘am. et.’] def split(s): parts = [] bracket_level = 0 current = [] # trick to remove special-case of trailing chars for c in (s … Read more
To read from XML in your app, create a folder in your res folder inside your project called “xml” (lower case). Store your xml in this newly created folder. To load the XML from your resources, XmlResourceParser myxml = mContext.getResources().getXml(R.xml.MyXml);//MyXml.xml is name of our xml in newly created xml folder, mContext is the current context … Read more
You’ll have to implement custom logic using xmlreader. xmlreader does not load the full XML into memory before using it, which means you can read it from a stream and process it as such.
