According to Java documentation: The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files which contain Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters. This utility converts a utf-8 encoded file to ascii with unicode escape strings for non-ascii characters. import java.io.*; /** * Reads file in U... It is equivalent to: native2ascii -encoding utf-8 using the standard Java native2ascii utility.

Firefox and Google chrome has native support for the trim function for a String. IE (as of IE 8.0) does not provide a trim function for String. Using the JavaScript Executor , if you execute: 'abcd '.trim you get: function trim() { [native code] } in Firefox and Google Chrome. But you get nothing in IE. If you try to execute the trim method on a String: 'abcd '.trim() you get this in IE: TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or... In order to have the trim function across all browsers, define this function: if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') { ... Or, if you use jQuery, you can use $.trim()

With JBoss (Tomcat?), the servlet container always appends the default charset ISO-8859-1 to the Content-Type header of a JSP response. For example, if you are using JSP to render PDF and put the following declaration at the top of the JSP: <%@ page contentType="application/pdf"%> These would be the headers in the HTTP response (notice that charset=ISO-8859-1 was appended to Content-Type ): HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 X-... And the output would be truncated a few bytes before non-ASCII characters were encountered, without any error messages ! Maybe you don't intend to output binary files with JSP, but still your response would be truncated without warning if the page happens to contain any non-ASCII characters (when the charset is the default charset=ISO-8859-1 ). However, if you...

The sort operation for a Python list sorts a list in place . It takes three optional arguments to control the comparisons: s.sort([cmp[, key[, reverse]]]) cmp specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than the second argument: cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()) . The default value is None . key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element: key=str.lower . The default value is None . reverse is a boolean value. If set to True , then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed. Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC...

From Python docs : string.find(s, sub[, start[, end]]) Return the lowest index in s where the substring sub is found such that sub is wholly contained in s[start:end] . Return -1 on failure. Defaults for start and end and interpretation of negative values is the same as for slices. string.index(s, sub[, start[, end]]) Like find() but raise ValueError when the substring sub is not found. >>> s = 'abcd1234' >>> s.index('123') 4 >...

Unlike PHP, in Python an array index must be integer (string is an array of characters): >>> s 'abcd12345' >>> s[1] 'b' >>> s['...

Perl uses the pop function to remove an item from the end of an array, and the shift function to remove an item from the beginning of an array. Python does not have a shift function, but its pop function takes a optional parameter. To remove an item from the beginning of a list , simply pop(0) . >>> a = [] >>> a.append(1) >>> a.append(2) ...

Characters \/:*?"<>| are forbidden in Windows file names. For Python, the effect of using a forbidden character in the file name is undetermined. In the following session a file named mytest can be seen from the Windows Explorer, which contains 0 bytes - as confirmed by the read back in the session. But if you open the file with the invalid file name used to create the file (i.e., mytest: 1.txt ), you get the original contents. C:\>python Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, ...
