escaping

This question already has an answer here: Start a git commit message with a hashmark (#) 8 answers I have set mcedit as my editor for git commit messages. By default it ignores any lines starting with the # character. However odd this may seem, I need to be able to have the my commit message looking like this: #FOO-123: Implement bar foo Committing work in progress The #FOO-123: ... is actually the key + title of an issue in our tracker. The tracker can automatically pick up these commit messages and add them to the issue. Unfortunately, the first line gets treated like a comment and gets

I'm using jQuery's .data() to work with custom HTML5 data attributes where the value of the attribute needs to be able to contain both single quotes and double quotes: <p class="example" data-example="She said "WTF" on last night's show."> I know using character codes like " in the data attribute value could make the above work, but I can't always control how the values are inputted. Plus, I need to be able to use HTML tags in the markup, like this: <p class="example" data-example=" She said "<abbr title="What The F***">WTF</abbr>" on last night's show. "> If some form of .replace() is the

I'm trying to copy a file using scp in bash with a colon ( : ) character in the source filename. The obfuscated version of my command I'm using is: scp file\:\ name.mp4 user@host:"/path/to/dest" I get this error: ssh: Could not resolve hostname Portal 2: Name or service not known I know I could just rename the file and remove the : , but I'd like to know if it's possible to escape the colon. Not quite a bash escaping problem, it's scp treating x: as a [user@]host prefix, try: scp ./file:\ name.mp4 user@host:"/path/to/dest" Using relative (e.g. ./ ) or fully qualified paths ( /path/to/source )

I'm trying to display image thumbnails in django admin's list_display and I am doing it like this: from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe class PhotoAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fields = ('title', 'image',) list_display = ('title', '_get_thumbnail',) def _get_thumbnail(self, obj): return mark_safe(u'<img src="%s" />' % obj.admin_thumbnail.url) Admin keeps displaying the thumbnail as escaped html, although I marked the string as safe. What am I doing wrong? As of Django 1.9, you can use format_html() , format_html_join() , or allow_tags in your method. See the list_display docs for more info

I am handling utf-8 strings in JavaScript and need to escape them. Both escape() / unescape() and encodeURI() / decodeURI() work in my browser. escape() > var hello = "안녕하세요" > var hello_escaped = escape(hello) > hello_escaped "%uC548%uB155%uD558%uC138%uC694" > var hello_unescaped = unescape(hello_escaped) > hello_unescaped "안녕하세요" encodeURI() > var hello = "안녕하세요" > var hello_encoded = encodeURI(hello) > hello_encoded "%EC%95%88%EB%85%95%ED%95%98%EC%84%B8%EC%9A%94" > var hello_decoded = decodeURI(hello_encoded) > hello_decoded "안녕하세요" However, Mozilla says that escape() is deprecated .

Say I have a string variable ( var str ) as follows- Dude, he totally said that "You Rock!" Now If I'm to make it look like as follows- Dude, he totally said that \"You Rock!\" How do I accomplish this using the JavaScript replace() function? str.replace("\"","\\""); is not working so well. It gives unterminated string literal error. Now, if the above sentence were to be stored in a SQL database, say in MySQL as a LONGTEXT (or any other VARCHAR -ish) datatype, what else string optimizations I need to perform? Quotes and Commas are not very friendly with query strings. I'd appreciate a few
