Help removing encoded html from string

Hello,
I am trying to remove all html from a user input string.
something like this:
<cfset string ="sample text <a>">
I have tried:
Replace(string , "<[^>]*>", "", "ALL")
Replace(string , "<br &##x2f;>>", "", "ALL")
Neither remove the html, can anyone help?

The related functions for replacing strings using regular expressions are REReplace and REReplaceNoCase. For example,
<cfset string ="sample text <a>">
<cfoutput>#REReplace(string , "<[^>]*>", "", "ALL")#</cfoutput>

Removing index.html from home page / remove .html tags from all other pages

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is a way to remove the index.html from my main page, so that www.mypage.com/index.html is simply www.mypage.com/. This also applies to all the other pages in the site, but only for the .html extension: www.mypage.com/contact.html becomes www.mypage.com/contact. Almost all sites I know do this, but I can't figure out the technique beyond working some crazy voodoo with Apache.
Thanks in advance for your help!

if 'index.html' is in your HOST server's default filename list, then you can omit its name from any link, e.g.,
<a href="/">Home</a>
That link will cause the server to load the default file found in the root folder of the site.
This is actually the preferred way to link to your home page.

Need help removing hard drive from Time Machine exclusion list

I have a 1TB Western Digital Essential hard drive with about 500Gb of music, movies and other assorted data tethered directly to my iMac. I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that serves as my wireless router and connects to my iMac over the wireless network. I'm trying to use the Time Capsule as the ultimate backup device, to backup the data on my iMac and the tethered 1TB Western Digital hard drive via Time Machine. It already backs up all the data on my iMac, but unfortunately, Time Machine places the 1TB Western Digital hard drive in the exclusion list (which I understand is normal), but will not let me click the minus sign to remove the drive from the exclusion list (which is where I'm at a loss). Someone please help me find a way around this as I've been unable to find a way to remove the Western Digital drive from the exclusion list and have Time Capsule access its data. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

gotham,
Forgive me, but are you highlighting the drive in the list before you click the "-" button?
Also, were is the external drive? Connected to your Mac or the TC. If the TC, then Time Machine won't backup the external drive. It needs to be connected to the Mac directly.
Otherwise, you can delete the TM .plist.
*Delete The Time Machine Preference .plist*
Go to --> Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences (Note: NOT Home / Library / Preferences).
Drag the .plist file labeled,
com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
to the root level of your Macs’ hard drive.
Reboot your computer.
This .plist file is automatically recreated at startup if it is missing.
You will need to reselect your Time Capsule in the TM Prefs for backup.
Now try 'removing' the other drive form the exclusion list.
Let us know if this helped resolve your issue.
Cheers!

Removing \r\n from string

Hello, how do I remove the "\r\n" newline characters from a
string in AS3 ?
I can do it in Flex using StringUtil trim, but that is not
available in Flash.
Thanks for any help.

Try something like this which replaces returns with a space:
//grep to globally (gi) look for returns
var returns:RegExp=/\r/gi;
//your input text
var str:String="the text";
//return the clean text
str.replace(returns," ");

Need help removing apple id from old songs

hi, hope someone can help. just rebuilt my computer and put my songs from my old ipod nano onto itunes. only 3 songs were purchased yrs ago with my ex wife's account. when i click on those songs in itunes to play, it pops up with her apple id. how can i remove that so i can safely move songs back and forth to ipod and add new ones without losing those 3 or re-buying them???

The only way I know of to "remove Apple ID" info off of previous purchased tracks is to have the original ID purchase the iTunes Plus version (DRM free version). That makes it available on all devices, not just authorized ones. They are less expensive to upgrade rather than buying them again outright. Hope this helps and good luck!

Removing offending characters from string...

Hello. I have some code that receives a csv file that is generated by an AS/400 - info about store orders, etc. However occasionally there is a character that causes an exception when I try to send the data into XML (prep for a web service call).
So, I added some code to my process to check the individual bytes. It's a byte value of 28 that causes me problems. I sometimes find it where I am expecting an apostrophe. So for testing purposes I added a routine that replaces byte=28 with an apostrophe, and all is well.
My question revolves around the fact that I don't have a great understanding of character encoding, etc. Essentially, what should I be doing? Should I be using different character encoding when reading the file (currently using ISO8859-1)? I don't have much control over the actual XML generation, so my hands are tied on that end. It just seems that the solution that I implemented is less-than-ideal. (Although searching through this forum, I did find it as a suggestion...)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Chris

So any thoughts on the question of how to get rid of it?
Just iterate over all bytes as I am now? Or is there a better solution?I assume you are using something like a buffered reader to read in the CSV file contents. Does the ISO 8859-1 encoding have problems with the FS control code byte or does it simply read it in and decode it into \u0028 ? if the latter, my own inclination would be to handle it on the char level, (by replacement or removal) before you generate your XML. What you replace it with depends on its original function within the CSV file, which I don't know.

Best way to remove unwanted signs from string

Which is the best way to purify a string from possible dangerous signs? I want to remove all characters that is not a-z or 0-9? how would I go about?

read the string character by character, and check to
see if they're characters you want to remove or not,
by comparing them to the ascii values of characters
you permit. I've used this before, but I can't
remember what exactly it permits, and I'm too lazy to
look up the ascii table :) But this sort of thing
works.
int c = in.read();
while(c!=-1){
if((c<33)||(c<58&&c>44)){
out.write(c);
I thought about that too. But the values in the ASCII table... arn't they a little volatile to use? I mean, will my application work on other systems or systems with other languages?

Help on getting value from string

Hello can someone please help me with my code?
I would like to know how to get a value in a string as an integer type
This is what I have so far
String x = "12345";
for(int f=0; f<5; f++){
int c = stringDigits.charAt(f);
sum += c;
However the sum does not turn out to be 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 because the value of c will always turn out to be 48 more than it is supposed to be
for example when f = 1 then c would = 49
f = 2 then c would = 51
Thank you very much for your help

int i = Integer.parseInt(x);
Will convert the String to an integer.The original poster was looking for a way to convert a single digit in a string to its numeric value, not to convert the whole string to an integer.
I forgot to mention that this is contained in the
java.text package, so you will need to
import java.text.*;Integer is in the java.lang package, so no import is necessary.

Remove leading zeros from string

I am working on a report and I am having a little issue with the output.
I have several dollar amount fields that I need to format with only the decimal place. The amount fields are coming in as strings between 10-16 characters.
I could not find a way to use the currency formatter so I used substrings to break it apart and put it back together in the format I need. However I am now running into an issue with leading zeros. I can't used ReplaceAll as there is a possibility of having a 0 in the amount field.
Here is what I have done for the substrings:
int intLength = strField.length();
intDollar = intLength - 2;
strDollar = strField.substring(1, intDollar);
strCent = strField.substring(intDollar, intLength);
System.out.println(strDollar + "." + strCent);The original string: 0000000037049469
My output now: 00000000370494.69
Desired output: 37049469
Any suggestions on how to remove the leading zeros?

Just wanted to comment that I solved the issue differently by casting the string value to an integer and back. Don't know if it's bad solution performancewiseNever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever worry about performance. At least not until you're much further along the road; and even then not until you've proved that it's inadequate.
but it's quite compact and readable and did the job of eliminating leading zeros.I suspect you'll also find that it has the great advantage of providing you with a dollar (or cent) value that you can use elsewhere in your program the way it was intended.
example:
String noZeros = String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros));Or possibly even more usefully:
int cents = Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros);
String noZeros = String.valueOf(cents);I'd also suggest looking up the NumberFormat and DecimalFormat classes, and PrintStream.printf(); all very useful for what you're trying to do.

Help remove hot spot from sun

Help! I have no clue on how to do this. I have a wedding photo of mine, but the sun's glare is in the photo. I need to remove the color cast it's causing in the shape of a circle.
I have the raw version of the photo as well, if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Stefania

Congrats on the wedding!
I tried the following approach:
• Create a circular Path with the Ellipse Tool
• then create a Curves Adjustment Layer and set the Vector Mask to a slight Feather in the Masks Panel (that’s in CS4 and CS5)
• channel for channel try to match the surrounding areas
As the edge of the Mask is almost impossible to fit perfectly I would recommend additionally creating a Layer on top of that and Clone Stamp (set to Current & Below in the Options Bar) over the edge.
Oner might be able to get a better result by applying the Curves Adjustment in two separate Layers set to Luminance and Color to be able to edit the two characteristics separately, but doing it in one go may suffice.
