Use list comprehension — simpler, and just as easy to read as a for loop. my_string = “blah, lots , of , spaces, here ” result = [x.strip() for x in my_string.split(‘,’)] # result is [“blah”, “lots”, “of”, “spaces”, “here”] See: Python docs on List Comprehension A good 2 second explanation of list comprehension.
Add vertical-align: top to textarea. The reason for the gap is that textarea is an inline (or inline-block) element, and the gap is the space reserved for descenders in text. I don’t know exactly why the gap is different between different browsers.
VS Code 1.6.0 and Greater As mentioned by aloisdg below, editor.renderWhitespace is now an enum taking either none, boundary or all. To view all whitespaces: “editor.renderWhitespace”: “all”, Before VS Code 1.6.0 Before 1.6.0, you had to set editor.renderWhitespace to true: “editor.renderWhitespace”: true
You can find empty text nodes using XPath, then remove them programmatically like so: XPathFactory xpathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance(); // XPath to find empty text nodes. XPathExpression xpathExp = xpathFactory.newXPath().compile( “//text()[normalize-space(.) = ”]”); NodeList emptyTextNodes = (NodeList) xpathExp.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); // Remove each empty text node from document. for (int i = 0; i < emptyTextNodes.getLength(); i++) … Read more
Like this: str_repeat(‘ ’, 5); // adds 5 spaces
Git1.6.0.4 seems a bit old, especially if you consider that: in 1.6.3.4, “git apply –whitespace=fix” did not fix trailing whitespace on an incomplete line in 1.6.3.2, “whitespace” attribute that is set was meant to detect all errors known to git, but it told git to ignore trailing carriage-returns. Could you try with Git1.6.4.1, and rather … Read more
Use the tab-size property. You’ll need vendor prefixes currently. Example: pre { -moz-tab-size: 4; -o-tab-size: 4; tab-size: 4; } See also the article on developer.mozilla.org: tab-size. .tabstop { -moz-tab-size: 4; -o-tab-size: 4; tab-size: 4; } Unstyled tabs (browser default) <pre> one tab two tabs three tabs </pre> Styled tabs (4em) <pre class=”tabstop”> one tab two … Read more
Fixed it! The issue was coming from one particular div – to find it, it was a process of deleting the different elements until the issue went away. To fix it I needed to add overflow-x: hidden to that div and it sorts it out! Hope this is useful to others with a similar issue.
There are many different invisible characters. Many of them have the property WSpace=Y (“whitespace”) in Unicode. But some special characters are not considered “whitespace” and still have no visible representation. The excellent Wikipedia articles about space (punctuation) and whitespace characters should give you an idea. <rant>Unicode sucks in this regard: introducing lots of exotic characters … Read more
You can simply use the indexOf method on the input string: function hasWhiteSpace(s) { return s.indexOf(‘ ‘) >= 0; } Or you can use the test method, on a simple RegEx: function hasWhiteSpace(s) { return /\s/g.test(s); } This will also check for other white space characters like Tab.
