string-parsing

Lets say I have an array of bad words: $badwords = array("one", "two", "three"); And random string: $string = "some variable text"; How to create this cycle: if (one or more items from the $badwords array is found in $string) echo "sorry bad word found"; else echo "string contains no bad words"; Example: if $string = "one fine day" or "one fine day two of us did something" , user should see sorry bad word found message. If $string = "fine day" , user should see string contains no bad words message. As I know, you can't preg_match from array. Any advices? How about this: $badWords = array('one'

I am parsing a file that has lines such as type("book") title("golden apples") pages(10-35 70 200-234) comments("good read") And I want to split this into separate fields. In my example, there are four fields: type, title, pages, and comments. The desired result after splitting is ['type("book")', 'title("golden apples")', 'pages(10-35 70 200-234)', 'comments("good read")] It is evident that a simple string split won't work, because it will just split at every space. I want to split on spaces, but preserve anything in between parenthesis and quotation marks. How can I split this? This regex

How can I parse a time of format hh:mm:ss , inputted as a string to obtain only the integer values (ignoring the colons) in java? As per Basil Bourque's comment, this is the updated answer for this question, taking into account the new API of Java 8: String myDateString = "13:24:40"; LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.parse(myDateString, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm:ss")); int hour = localTime.get(ChronoField.CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY); int minute = localTime.get(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_HOUR); int second = localTime.get(ChronoField.SECOND_OF_MINUTE); //prints "hour: 13, minute: 24, second: 40":

An input element contains numbers a where comma or dot is used as decimal separator and space may be used to group thousands like this: '1,2' '110 000,23' '100 1.23' How would one convert them to a float number in the browser using JavaScript? jQuery and jQuery UI are used. Number(string) returns NaN and parseFloat() stops on first space or comma. hytest Do a replace first: parseFloat(str.replace(',','.').replace(' ','')) Shafiq The perfect solution accounting.js is a tiny JavaScript library for number, money and currency formatting. Check this for ref I realise I'm late to the party, but I

I have a string, say '123' , and I want to convert it to 123 . I know you can simply do some_string.to_i , but that converts 'lolipops' to 0 , which is not the effect I have in mind.

Otherwise, I can't distinguish between a valid 0 and something that just isn't a number at all. EDIT: I was looking for the standard way of doing it, without regex trickery. Slartibartfast Ruby has this functionality built in: Integer('1001') # => 1001 Integer('1001 nights') # ArgumentError: invalid value
