After trying to figure how to have an effective word counter of a string, I know about the existing function that PHP has str_word_count but unfortunately it doesn't do what I need it to do because I will need to count the number of words that includes English, Chinese, Japanese and other accented characters. However str_word_count fails to count the number of words unless you add the characters in the third argument but this is insane , it could mean I have to add every single character in the Chinese, Japanese, accented characters (etc) language but this is not what I need. Tests: str_word

Since django forms escape all the HTML ASCII characters, I can't get the $ ( € ) or the £ ( £ ) to display the currency symbol. <select id="id_currency" name="currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">£</option> <option value="&euro;">€</option> </select> Could you suggest any methods to display the actual HTML Currency character at least for the value part of the option? <select name="currency" id="id_currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">£</option> <option value

It's cool that Rebol's PARSE dialect is generalized enough that it can do pattern matching and extraction on symbolic structures as well as on strings. Like this: ; match a single "a" character, followed by any number of "b" chars >> string-rule: ["a" some "b"] >> parse "abb" string-rule == true >> parse "aab" string-rule == false ; look for a single apple symbol, followed by any number of bananas >> block-rule: ['apple some 'banana] >> parse [apple banana banana] block-rule == true >> parse [apple apple banana] block-rule == false But let's say I'm looking for a block containing an apple

I have been looking the past days how to understand Symbols in Ruby. I read every article on Google about Ruby symbols, most of them are bad explanations so I come here, and I see some questions about this topic exists, however I do not understand, sorry.

Question #1 Are symbols purpose in life to serve the same niche as strings? Is the purpose of symbols to function as convenient constants without carrying a value, like the part after : is it the
