str-replace

I have to replace the north, south, etc with N S in address fields. If I have list = {'NORTH':'N','SOUTH':'S','EAST':'E','WEST':'W'} address = "123 north anywhere street" Can I for iterate over my dictionary values to replace my address field? for dir in list[]: address.upper().replace(key,value) I know i'm not even close!! But any input would be appreciated if you can use dictionary values like this. address = "123 north anywhere street" for word, initial in {"NORTH":"N", "SOUTH":"S" }.items(): address = address.replace(word.lower(), initial) print address nice and concise and readable too.

Suppose there's a string "foo boo foo boo" I want to replace all fooes with boo and booes with foo. Expected output is "boo foo boo foo". What I get is "foo foo foo foo". How to get expected output rather than current one? $a = "foo boo foo boo"; echo "$a\n"; $b = str_replace(array("foo", "boo"), array("boo", "foo"), $a); echo "$b\n"; //expected: "boo foo boo foo" //outputs "foo foo foo foo" Use strtr From the manual: If given two arguments, the second should be an array in the form array('from' => 'to', ...). The return value is a string where all the occurrences of the array keys have been

I have a very trivial problem with str_replace. I have a string with the En Dash character ( - ) like this: I want to remove - the dash The html output is I want to remove the – the dash I want to do this: $new_string = str_replace ('-','',$string); I've tried to parse the string with html_entity_decode, to parse the character to remove with htmlspecialchars,but without any results. What I'm doing wrong? -EDIT- This is the full code of my script: $title = 'Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Debut Trailer'; // Fetched from the DB, in the DB the character is - (minus) not – $new_title = str_replace(' - ', '

I would like to know if there is an equivalent to tr/// (as used in Perl) in Java. For example, if I wanted to replace all "s"s with "p"s in "mississippi" and vice versa, I could, in Perl, write #shebang and pragmas snipped... my $str = "mississippi"; $str =~ tr/sp/ps/; # $str = "mippippissi" print $str; The only way I can think of to do it in Java is to use a dummy character with the String.replace() method, i.e. String str = "mississippi"; str = str.replace('s', '#'); // # is just a dummy character to make sure // any original 's' doesn't get switched to a 'p' // and back to an 's' with the

I wanted to make a PHP function that would make text bold between double asterisks, and italic between one asterisk, (quite like the editor on stackoverflow) . Same rules apply, if there's a space between the * and the word, it shouldn't render. Who can help me out? I tried to, but I only came this far, as I don't know how to make the odd asterisks "< b >" and the even ones "< /b >". (I can't type them without the spaces, stackoverflow will render the text between as bold.....) $thenewtext = str_replace("**", "<b>", "**Hello World** of PHP"); A simple regex will do the trick: $thenewtext =
