quotes

I have an onclick event that depends on the state of a variable. So I need to do something like onclick="#{object.isEnabled ? 'ch.my.js_method('#{object.property}'); return false;' : 'return false;'" The problem is, that I can't use ' inside of the onclick. How can I escape the quotes inside of the EL? BalusC You can escape them with \ or \\ , but rules differ per EL implementation, because it isn't clear cut in EL spec (Oracle's EL impl needs single backslash, but Apache needs double backslash). And you need the += operator to string-concatenate the EL expression. <x:someComponent onclick="#

In PHP 5.3, am trying to replace double quotes in a string as such: $bar = str_replace('"','\'',$foo); But some quotes that are saved in the utf8-Database are not being replaced, although they look perfectly normal: "Some text" Are there different character types I have to search for? If so, which are they? There are many characters that look like quotation marks, most of them are used infrequently. The ones that are used more often are these three: " U+0022 QUOTATION MARK “ U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK ” U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK Some rarer ones are FULLWIDTH QUOTATION MARK, the

Is it a good idea to quote keys when using a hash in Perl? I am working on an extremely large legacy Perl code base and trying to adopt a lot of the best practices suggested by Damian Conway in Perl Best Practices . I know that best practices are always a touchy subject with programmers, but hopefully I can get some good answers on this one without starting a flame war. I also know that this is probably something that a lot of people wouldn't argue over due to it being a minor issue, but I'm trying to get a solid list of guidelines to follow as I work my way through this code base. In the Perl

I want to insert text with single quote Eg john's to table in sql server 2005 database Escape single quote with an additional single as Kirtan pointed out And if you are trying to execute a dynamic sql (which is not a good idea in the first place) via sp_executesql then the below code would work for you sp_executesql N'INSERT INTO SomeTable (SomeColumn) VALUES (''John''''s'')' The answer really depends on how you are doing the INSERT . If you are specifying a SQL literal then you need to use the double-tick approach: -- Direct insert INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1) VALUES ('John''s') -- Using a

Is there a native function or solid class/library for writing an array as a line in a CSV file without enclosures? fputcsv will default to " if nothing is passed in for the enclosure param. Google is failing me (returning results for a whole bunch of pages about fputcsv ), and PEAR's libraries do more or less the same things as fputcsv . Something that works exactly like fputcsv , but will allow the fields to remain unquoted. currently: "field 1","field 2",field3hasNoSpaces desired: field 1,field 2,field3hasNoSpaces The warnings about foregoing enclosures are valid, but you've said they don't

I've been reading through Thomas' Programming Ruby 1.9 and came upon the alternative delimited single and double-quoting methods ( %q / %Q ). I've known of them from other Ruby language references as well. %q/I'm acting like a single-quoted string/ %Q|"I'm acting like a double-quoted string" --Anonymous| I have not been working with Ruby for long, but I have never encountered this quoting method in production code. Other than the obvious ability to avoid internally escaping quotes with backslashes, what are the common use cases for this method of quoting over regular single or double quotes?
