escaping

I am allowing the user to choose any username he wants and it can be anything at all such as AC♀¿!$"Man'@ Now i need to create a directory for him. What function i use to escape the text so i dont a FS problem/exception? Use Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars or Path.GetInvalidPathChars to check for characters to remove. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.getinvalidfilenamechars.aspx Whether you replace invalid characters or remove them, there's always going to be the possibility of collisions. If I were you, I'd have a separate primary key for the user (a GUID perhaps) and use

I have a React app embedded in Wordpress page. It pulls content from a JSON api and displays it in various areas. My problem is that all of the text content that comes from the api displays as escaped charachters i.e & displays where an ampersand should be. My wordpress page has <meta charSet="utf-8" /> which I would normally expect to convert this, but is having no effecton the React content. Is it because the rendering is done within React? In which case do I need to set React somehow to be using UTF-8? HTML (including entities) will be rendered as a string when being rendered as an

is it safe to use cast (int) instead of escaping? class opinion { function loadbyopinionid($opinionid){ $opinionid=(int)$opinionid; mysql_query("select * from fe_opinion where opinionid=$opinionid"); //more code } } mysql_real_scape_string is for STRINGS . it will not make an integer 'safe' for use. e.g. $safe = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['page']); will do NOTHING where $_GET['page'] = "0 = 0"; because there's no SQL metacharacters in there. your query would end up something like SELECT ... WHERE somefield = 0 = 0 However, doing intval() will convert that 0=0 into a plain 0 . Yes it is

I have the following string and I'm trying to figure out the best practice for unescaping it. The solution has to be somewhat flexible in that I'm receiving this input from an API and I can't be absolutely certain that the current character structure ( \n as opposed to \r ) will always be the same. '"If it ain\'t broke, don\'t fix it." \nWent in for a detailed car wash.\nThe attendants raved-up my engine when taking the car into the tunnel. NOTE: my car is...' This regex seems like it should work: text_excerpt = re.sub(r'[\s"\\]', ' ', raw_text_excerpt).strip() I've aso read that decode()

I am trying to write a method that is the same as mysqli_real_escape_string in PHP. It takes a string and escapes any 'dangerous' characters. I have looked for a method that will do this for me but I cannot find one. So I am trying to write one on my own. This is what I have so far (I tested the pattern at Rubular.com and it worked): # Finds the following characters and escapes them by preceding them with a backslash. Characters: ' " . * / \ - def escape_characters_in_string(string) pattern = %r{ (\'|\"|\.|\*|\/|\-|\\) } string.gsub(pattern, '\\\0') # <-- Trying to take the currently found

I know that the escape function has been deprecated and that you should use encodeURI or encodeURIComponent instead. However, the encodeUri and encodeUriComponent doesn't do the same thing as escape. I want to create a mailto link in javascript with Swedish åäö. Here are a comparison between escape, encodeURIComponent and encodeURI: console.log("mailto:?subject="+escape(subject)+"&body=" + escape(body)); console.log("mailto:?subject="+encodeURIComponent(subject)+"&body=" + encodeURIComponent(body)); console.log("mailto:?subject="+encodeURI(subject)+"&body=" + encodeURI(body)); Output: mailto:

Something of a strange question but let's see what kind of response it gets... If I code a console app (VS 2013, .NET 4.5.1) and execute this line of code: Uri.EscapeUriString("[") I get this: [ However if I execute the same thing (well, technically Uri.EscapeUriString("[").Dump() ) in LINQPad on my machine I get this: %5B To further complicate things, according to this post Uri.EscapeUriString("[") should indeed return %5B .The post was written on 27/06/2012. I'm thinking that perhaps LINQPad is referencing an older DLL than that used by VS, but that would imply that EscapeUriString has

I'm a bit confused with this issue! I'm building a bigger script and it was working in the ISE but not in a powershell console. I've managed to track it down to the [System.Uri]::EscapeDataString function which seems to be behaving differently between the different environments, for example in my powershell console () ' & ! are not being escaped, where as in the IDE they are all being escaped. Am I missing something? My test code: [System.Uri]::EscapeDataString("/?:@%!$&'/*+,;=()") ISE output: %2F%3F%3A%40%25%21%24%26%27%2F%2A%2B%2C%3B%3D%28%29 Powershell Console output: %2F%3F%3A%40%25!%24%26

I'd like to create a snippet in VS Code, which includes exact string ${code} . However, when I enter it in this form, VS Code tries to interpret it as snippet parameter. How should I escape it properly? "}" AND "$" can be escaped with "\\". Some cases "$" can be escaped with "$$" but not in your case. Your snippet should look like this. "Return Code With Squirly And Dollar": { "prefix": "code_snippet", "body" : [ "\\${code\\}" ], "description": "Code Snippet" } This should help you 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42669459/vs-code-snippet-escape-file
