java version "1.8.0_25"

@kleinfreund Java 8!

Just removing.

would you mind anchoring the regex?

@Vogel612 What does anchoring mean here?

str.replaceAll("/[äÄöÖüÜß]/", "");

11:15 AM

@kleinfreund Let's take a step back, what happens if you only try to remove Ä?

anchoring is probably the wrong expression..

Exactly the same, @skiwi. Nothing. I tried that already.

So we should first get that one to work

s = s.replaceAll("Ä", "");

I believe I remember the syntax now

s = s.replaceAll("(?U)Ä", "")

11:16 AM

that's the Unicode flag, right?

Yeah, should be it

If that one works, then it should also work on the full expression

Which doesn't work as well.

Then...

Trick question

I didn't imagine it to be tricky. :D

Are the Ä's you're trying to escape and the Ä's you type on your keyboard the same Unicode literals?

11:18 AM

^^ ouch...

I believe so! I can't think of a reason why they should not.

skiwi you remember this replaceAll question?

There's enough reasons :)

But on the other hand, I really don't know.

@Vogel612 I was about to say no, but then I realized that I posted an answer to it

@kleinfreund Can you test it with some input string you type yourself?

11:19 AM

I do type them. Command line.

Hm

With unicode you sometimes need to normalize the text....

See: docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/Normalizer.html

This can be especially important with diacritical marks like acutes, umlauts, etc.

Okay... with Umlauts I could kinda expect weird things to happen

But this?

> Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:

U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I

or as the single character

U+FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI

LARGE LETTER Ä

So something like this? Normalizer.normalize(s, Form.NFC);

11:25 AM

vs LARGE LETTER A + COMBINING ACCENT °°

Does this mean that you actually always need to normalize the input? Or is it really an edge case when working with regular letters

Normalizing doesn't change my results, though. :x

What encoding is Java using by default?

@kleinfreund - Stupid question .... are you assigning the value of the replaceAll to something?

Yeah.

s = s.replaceAll("[äöüÄÖÜß]", "");

@kleinfreund Interesting question....

The file-encoding of the .java file is whatever your system default is, or you can change it manually. Check in your IDE (file -> Properties).

11:32 AM

Most google results just do something like "ä", "" or with a regex like above. I don't know. There should be another reason why this isn't working.

The actual chars are unicode (once the file is read from disk and interpreted by the compiler).

How that encoding happens depends on the file.

The value in the s variable before the replaceAll depends on how you sourced the s.

The file is encoded as UTF-8.

I do String s = sanitizeString(args[0]);. In sanitizeString(), I do s = s.replaceAll("\\p{Upper}", ""); to replace all uppercase letters.

After that I do s = s.replaceAll("[äöüÄÖÜß]", ""); followed by System.out.println(s); to test it.

> I do s = s.replaceAll("\\p{Upper}", ""); to replace all uppercase letters.

^^^ You meanremove all uppercase letters, right?

That one works and does not change the behavior when commenting it out.

Yeah, I replace them with an empty string which comes down to removing them, sure.

That's intented.

Then... silence?

11:43 AM

    String s = "äÄöÖüÜß";
    String p = "[ÄÖÜäöüß]";
    String r = s.replaceAll(p, "");
    System.out.printf("In '%s' replace '%s' and get '%s'\n", s, p, r);

In 'äÄöÖüÜß' replace '[ÄÖÜäöüß]' and get ''

File encoded UTF-8

@rolfl java version?

Huh.

Right now your question is in the reopen queue and needs to be approved by the community (users with enough reputation). — Heslacher 2 mins ago

Monking btw.

So I have a problem with my String s.

When I do s = "ölkjöüpoi"; before, it works.

        System.out.printf("In '%s' replace '%s' and get '%s' (%s)\n", s, p, r, System.getProperty("java.version"));

In 'äÄöÖüÜß' replace '[ÄÖÜäöüß]' and get '' (1.8.0)

11:47 AM

kleinfreund is running 1.8.0_25...

@kleinfreund then your reading is the problem.

This is eclipse, let me dig... I think I am 25 as well

you said you were reading from console?

Yeah, I just do String s = sanitizeString(args[0]);

@rolfl Your profile states you are 42 ;-)

11:49 AM

It does. I lied about my birthday. I put 1 Jan 1973.

It's a couple of months off.

not actually 42 yet ;-)

@kleinfreund - in the process of copy/pasting stuff from here&there, the chances are that I don't run the same code you do.

Yeah, right.

@rolfl gist.github.com/kleinfreund/82d795c467b2b77f9a6c

I strongly suggest that you add a little dump feature to your code......

/!\ Ugly code ahead!

You planning to put it up for review? ;)

Nah, I don't think so. It's not cleaned up.

What I try now is this: Adding s = "äöüoiuzghjDD"; to sanitizeString().

It works there.

11:55 AM

private static final void dumpString(final String input) {
    System.out.printf("Dumping '%s'\n", input);
    for (char c : input.toCharArray()) {
        System.out.printf("   Char '%c' is %d\n", c, (int)c);
    }
}
public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
{
    String s = "äÄöÖüÜß";
    String p = "[ÄÖÜäöüß]";
    String r = s.replaceAll(p, "");
    System.out.printf("In '%s' replace '%s' and get '%s' (%s)\n", s, p, r, System.getProperty("java.version"));
    dumpString(s);

In 'äÄöÖüÜß' replace '[ÄÖÜäöüß]' and get '' (1.8.0)
Dumping 'äÄöÖüÜß'
   Char 'ä' is 228
   Char 'Ä' is 196
   Char 'ö' is 246
   Char 'Ö' is 214
   Char 'ü' is 252
   Char 'Ü' is 220

   Char 'ö' is 246
   Char 'ü' is 252
   Char 'ß' is 223
   Char ']' is 93
Dumping ''

Gotta run for breakfast.

What's the purpose of dumping a string? What can I take from this?

@kleinfreund That prints the actual Unicode character identifiers

So you can check if you have the same in/output as @rolfl, just to be sure

And they probably don't match in my case. ä is not ä.

That's waht needs to be confirmed then

Dumping '[Ã¤Ã¶Ã¼Ã?Ã?Ã?Ã?]'
   Char '[' is 91
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '¤' is 164
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '¶' is 182
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '¼' is 188
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '?' is 8222
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '?' is 8211
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '?' is 339
   Char 'Ã' is 195
   Char '?' is 376
   Char ']' is 93
Dumping 'äÄöÖßÜü'
   Char 'ä' is 228
   Char 'Ä' is 196
   Char 'ö' is 246
   Char 'Ö' is 214
   Char 'ß' is 223
   Char 'Ü' is 220
   Char 'ü' is 252

So what I enter as the regex is not what I want.

12:05 PM

Indeed...

Do you have any clue in which character encoding you are inputting characters via command line?

source file encoding??

the java file is utf-8

Not sure how to find out what Git Bash currently uses.

Donald.McLean

@SimonAndréForsberg Yes.

1:10 PM

@skiwi let's say I want to subclass UITextField into a number field that only allowed on numeric input.

Normally, UITextField asks it's delegate what input is okay. So to make a subclass that only ever allows numbers, we have to be our own delegate sort of... But we still want to allow ourselves to be delegated for other things.

Only way is to intercept messages intended for the delegate

But only relevant messages. And we still pass them on when appropriate.

isn't that a standard decorator pattern?

Maybe, I don't know. But the text field can only have one delegate.

Q: The code snippet implements Singly LinkedList and IList Interface

0

I have implemented LinkedList in C#. Here is my code. What would you change/make better? What naming conventions are misused? What would you add? Some of my ideas are to make it thread-safe... using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using Syst...

c# data-structures linked-list generics collections

So the option is to intercept the single message you need, or write a class that has a delegate and serves as the text fields delegate.

And in the second case, you have to implement ALL of the delegate methods and pass them all forward.

And if a delegate method is added and you don't update your middle man, you don't have access to that delegate method.

But if you intercept just the messages you need, you're golden.

I've never heard decorator pattern talked about with Objective-C.

But I'm not adding new behavior... I'm changing existing behavior.

1:27 PM

I see @nhgrif, I still find it difficult to understand right now, but that may not be the issue of your explanation ;)

Importantly... There are two things that could control what text is entered into the text field. A private method in UITextField that I don't have access to, and a delegate method call. Objects shouldn't delegate themselves, and I don't want to eliminate all the other delegate behavior just to modify 1% of it.

This is normal.

does that only happen on CW Q/A's?

CW posts are CW, and the 'display name' of the user is tracked as part of the edit process, not the actual user.

So, the disply-name you had at the time of any activity you do on a CW post is the one that's used.

I didn't know that. thanks for the info @rolfl

I'm developing an application to manage a player card-library from an online game. Each card has an image that is stored on disk with a numeric code, for example, the card with ID=1234 has his image stored as 1234.png and all the images are stored on the same folder. As of now there are more tha...

Q: Integer math function as an alternative to bcadd

I wrote this as an alternative to bcmath functions (since bcmath isn't a default extension) due to the floating point precision issue. I would appreciate it if someone could critique this and see if there are any issues. The idea behind it is to convert the number to an integer, perform the mat...

@SimonAndréForsberg suggestion: make the answers CW...

Thanks @SimonAndréForsberg turns out work got in the way today.

Should we just shoot for a single CW answer?

5:21 PM

I'd say yes...

@Vogel612 Suggestion: Make the whole question CW -- flagged it for a mod to do so

@RubberDuck I think it is better to have multiple answers, so that there can be comments about how to improve each individual comment

I like the one-comment-per-answer format

it's not like you're losing rep by that, right ;)

The Mug has spoken!

rep, no. but meta tag badges...

hmm... I'm, quite happy with my bronze discussion badge...

We could possibly have one answer that combines them all though, formatted so that it is ready to be imported into the auto-comments script.

would have to be maintained though...

oh well... community maintenance is work.

Hey guys, let's give those answers titles to make it easier to see which is which.

and maybe add - Thanks! to the comments...

it makes them a whole lot friendlier ;)

@SimonAndréForsberg This is brilliant. Do you think the whole post should be made Community Wiki?

I see that you just said yes.

@200_success Don't mods read flags anymore? :)

Clock skew.

I think we should avoid duplicate answers here... — Mat's Mug 1 min ago

@Mat'sMug Oops. I missed the one @SimonAndréForsberg already posted...

yeah yeah

;)

@200_success I think it's time to close the 2014 best-of, isn't it?

@RubberDuck I kinda like yours better..

@RubberDuck I agree about making the titles more clear. That When to use: can instead just be a # to make the title clearer

5:35 PM

I've accepted the top-voted "Best Title" entry

@Mat'sMug but, but.... but I'm so close to beating ducky! meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/3881/…

200_success

@Mat'sMug Sure. 00:00 UTC at the end of today sounds like a reasonable time to end it.

good - that'll be exactly 2 weeks :)

@RubberDuck does the ###title part actually belong in the comment(s)?

Oh. Shoot. That's part of my script. I'll remove it.

@RubberDuck lol...

OBTW I'll wait until you guys have cooled down a bit and then write a "compiled together for your convenience" answer...

including the [Q] / [A] restrictions that the script uses

@SimonAndréForsberg sorry to say, you're not getting a meta-tumbleweed for that one!

Anyone have a good meta link for broken code?

@Malachi You know that if you hover over any time-like valeu (1 hour ago, whatever) in stack exchange, that the 'tooltip' shows the actual time, right?

Q: AngularJs Databinding Issue

I am having an issue where the directive rm-stock-quote data binds on the first time in, but updates after the fact are ignored. It looks like the data binding is not setup properly. More specifically, it looks like it might be a scope issue. Unfortunately I am a newbie on AngularJs and data b...
