I have Xamarin.Forms project. I have textbox in that and have a button which get text from textbox and pass it to API to store. Now the point is when user select any emojis from keyboard, I want to get unicode character of the emojis. Currently I am getting emojis it self when I check Text property of it.
I want to get Unicode rather emoji as given in NewTextValue from Text property.
This post is same but I don't understand how the guy has managed. POST
Please suggest.
After some google, I have tried with following.
string res = BitConverter.ToString(Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes(str)).Replace("-", "");
This is result res = D83DDE00
I don't know above code is unicode or not.
How can I convert back to original emoji or is there any other way to convert in unicode?
We need to manually convert it back. Insert "-" every two characters:
var convertStr = string.Join("-", Regex.Matches(res, #"..").Cast<Match>().ToList());
String[] tempArr = convertStr.Split('-');
byte[] decBytes = new byte[tempArr.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < tempArr.Length; i++)
{
decBytes[i] = Convert.ToByte(tempArr[i], 16);
}
String str = Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetString(decBytes);
Moreover in my test, Encoding.UTF32.GetBytes() may be closer to emoji code. You can test it with \U0001F600, this is a smile image. After converting with utf32, the bytes just change its order.

I have to encode some HTML source code into base64 format before form submission, and then decode it back to original code in the code behind. Here is the testing code by MsgBox:
MsgBox(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("encodedSourceCode"))
MsgBox(Convert.ToString(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("encodedSourceCode").GetType()))
Dim b = Convert.FromBase64String(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("encodedSourceCode"))
Dim html = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(b)
MsgBox(html)
And I have added an alert() for encodedSourceCode in client script.
The results turn out to be:
First MsgBox: Empty
Second MsgBox: "System.String"
Last MsgBox: Original HTML source code
And the JS alert dialog shows the base64 string, which consists of a bunch of digits and alphabets.
In short, everything is fine, except the first MsgBox, which is supposed to be base64 encoded string but turns out to be empty. Why? Is it normal?
Actually it does not matter much because even the final result (after decoding) seems to have no problem, but I'm just curious why the interim result is not shown as what it's supposed to be.
It seems that the string is simply too long without 'wrappable' characters, I suppose. MsgBox cuts out the 'last word' and shows nothing.
This may confirm it:
dim test = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("encodedSourceCode")
MsgBox(test) ' empty
test = test.Substring(0, 20)
MsgBox(test) ' shows the first 20 characters
Testing in LinqPad, I get the limit around 43.000 characters:
MsgBox("".PadLeft(43000, "a"))
MsgBox("".PadLeft(44000, "a"))
MsgBox("".PadLeft(43000, "a") & " " & "".PadLeft(1000, "a"))
1st: shows text.
2nd: shows empty box, length = 44.000
3rd: shows text, although the total length is 44.001, but wrappable at the space.
It definitely has nothing to do with base64 strings as they are simple strings. Here the proof:
Dim myString = "Hello world, this is just an ɇxâmpŀƏ ʬith some non-ansi characters..."
Dim myEncoding As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
MsgBox(myString)
Dim myBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(myEncoding.GetBytes(myString))
MsgBox(myBase64)
Dim myStringAgain = myEncoding.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(myBase64))
MsgBox(myStringAgain)
MsgBox(If(StringComparer.Ordinal.Equals(myString, myStringAgain), "same", "different"))
The line
MsgBox(Convert.ToString(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form("encodedSourceCode").GetType()))
results in "System.String" because you convert the name of the type to a string (see xxx.GetType()).
I'm going loopy....
I want a date, in date format, for example
21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT
I stamp this on a document, but I then want to display it on my xpage as:
21/06/2017 17:23
But I keep getting different results no matter what I do. I get the date from the onClick of a button using
var dt = new Date();
I then pass this into a function:
function AddObjectivesHistoryItem(doc, dt, action, username){
var ArrDocHistory:array = doc.getItemValueArray("History");
if(ArrDocHistory.length < 1){
// This should always return an object as it is created when an objectives document is first
// created but do this check to be safe and create an array if for some reason it doesnt exist
ArrDocHistory = [dt+"|"+action+"|"+username];
}else{
// append new value to the array
ArrDocHistory.push(dt+"|"+action+"|"+username);
}
doc.replaceItemValue("History",ArrDocHistory);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedByName",username);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedDate",dt);
}
I've tried using toLocaleString() and all others it seems but it wont work.
For example, toLocaleString() displays as 13-Mar-2018 15:02:15 on my xpage. It's close to what I want except it uses hyphens instead of slashes, and also displays the seconds.
I've tried using custom date pattern on my date field properties with no luck and I'm certain I'm missing something super obvious!?
Any pointers on how to firstly get the date like 21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT and store as a date and secondly to then display it as 21/06/2017 17:23, this can be a string if it needs to be.
Thanks
You can get your date value as String in SSJS with:
var dateTimeFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy kk:mm");
var dateTimeString = dateTimeFormat.format(dt)));
If you want to store as text, java.text.SimpleDateFormat is best for converting a date server-side to a specific text format. It can also be used in a converter to manipulate to/from as well.
i need to put all text of a docx in a stringBuilder, also with tab and hyphen.
i've tried the use of org.docx4j.TextUtils, but in the resultant string doesn't seen tab.
String inputfilepath = System.getProperty("user.home") + "test.docx";
WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new java.io.File(inputfilepath));
MainDocumentPart documentPart = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart();
org.docx4j.wml.Document wmlDocumentEl = (org.docx4j.wml.Document)documentPart.getJaxbElement();
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
extractText(wmlDocumentEl, out);
out.close();
As per my answer at http://www.docx4java.org/forums/docx-java-f6/is-it-possible-to-extract-all-text-also-tab-and-hyphen-t1996.html#p6933?sid=b0d58fec2ba349d0f3f49cf66411397c
The problem with tab and hyphen, as I guess you know, is that they aren't represented in the docx as normal characters.
Tab is w:tab
A hyphen might be a hyphen character, or it might be displayed (without being actually in the docx), or it might be:
http://webapp.docx4java.org/OnlineDemo/ecma376/WordML/noBreakHyphen.html
or http://webapp.docx4java.org/OnlineDemo/ecma376/WordML/softHyphen.html
Replicating Word's hyphenation behaviour would be a challenge.
But for the others, there are three approaches which occur to me:
generalising your traverse approach (are you using TraversalUtil.getChildrenImpl?)
doing it in XSLT (you can do this in docx4j, but XSLT is probably slower, and a mix of technologies)
marshal the main document part to a string, do suitable string replacements, then unmarshal, then use TextUtils
For (3), assuming MainDocumentPart mdp, to get it as a String:
String stringContent = mdp.getXML();
Then to inject the modified content:
mdp.setContents((Document)XmlUtils.unmarshalString(stringContent) );
I'm trying to get my head around special chars from a querystring in ASP.NET. In every other browser, this works perfectly: mysite.com?s=smør, but in IE it writes the ø letter as a square.
I have searched high and low for a solution and read about Server.UrlEncode(), but Server.UrlEncode() writes this: sm%ef%bf%bdr which isn't very pleasant to read for the user either ;-)
When writing ÆØÅ anywhere on the page, it works perfect, so it must be because it's from the querystring somehow.
My code is as follows:
#* Check the searchterm querystring for null or empty value *#
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["s"] != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["s"]))
{
string searchTerm = Server.UrlEncode(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["s"]);
<span>#Server.UrlDecode(searchTerm)</span>
}
So, anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Made a quickfix/hack like this which works:
string rawUrl = Server.UrlDecode(HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl);
string searchTerm = rawUrl.Substring(rawUrl.IndexOf('=') + 1);
It's not pretty though ;-)
I have an asp.net 4 textbox control that has it's text being dynamically populated by some java script. A Google Maps call to be exact. It's giving me mileage from 1 point to another. When the text displays, it shows " 234 mi" I need to get rid of the "mi" part of this text because the text is being converted to an Int32 Updating a table in my DB.
Basically I can only have an INT. Nothing else in the text box. How do I get rid of the "mi" at the end of the text?
Thanks

On the postback, before you save it you could:
var saveValue = Int32.Parse(tbTarget.Text.Replace("mi", string.Empty).Trim());
If your working with a variable length of chars (say someone enters miles instead) then your must do a foreach against the string (an array of char) and check isnumeric on each char.
A simple String.Substring works also:
String leftPart = TxtMileAge.Text.Substring(0, txt.IndexOf(' '));
int mileAge = int.Parse(leftPart);
This retrieves the part of the String in the range of 0 - indexOfWhiteSpace and converts it to an int
Edit: Since the value can have decimal places (as you've commented), you need to parse it to double, round it and then cast it to int:
var txtEstDistance = new TextBox() { Text = "40.2 mi" };
String leftPart = txtEstDistance.Text.Substring(0, txtEstDistance.Text.IndexOf(' '));
double distanceMiles = double.Parse(leftPart, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
int oDdstanceMiles = (int)Math.Round(distanceMiles, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
