user-input

Okay I have a list of devices where i can select which to edit. I have 3 states for the edit. When no devices are selected, when 1 device is selected or when x devices are selected. The problem i have is when a user type some text in the textarea (commentField) and cancels the edit to edit another device, the text there was typed in the textarea won't disapere. It stays so when i get the new dialog for the new edit, the commentfield has the text from the old commentField (as if it wasn't cleared) I have tried the following codes to remove the text (both when then cancel button is pressed and

Using python and argparse, the user could input a file name with -d as the flag. parser.add_argument("-d", "--dmp", default=None) However, this failed when the path included spaces. E.g. -d C:\SMTHNG\Name with spaces\MORE\file.csv NOTE: the spaces would cause an error (flag only takes in 'C:SMTHNG\Name' as input). error: unrecognized arguments: with spaces\MORE\file.csv Took me longer than it should have to find the solution to this problem... (did not find a Q&A for it so I'm making my own post) For those who can't parse arguments and still get "error: unrecognized arguments:" I found a

We are trying to build a jmeter testcase which does the following: login to a system obtain some information and check whether correct. Where we are facing issues is because there is a captcha while logging into the system. What we had planned to do was to download the captcha link and display, and wait for user to type in the value. Once done, everything goes as usual. We couldnt find any plugin that can do the same? Other than writing our own plugin, is there any option here? Since CAPTHA used to detect non-humans, JMeter will always fail it. You have to make a workaround in your software:

So I know about MySQL injection and always escape all my user input before putting it in my database. However I was wondering, imagine a user tries to submit a query to inject, and I escape it. What if I then at a later moment take this value from the database, and use it in a query. Do I have to escape it again? So: ( sql::escape() contains my escape function) $userinput = "'); DROP `table` --"; mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`foo`,`bar`) VALUES ('foobar','".sql::escape($userinput)."')"); // insert php/mysql to fetch `table`.`bar` into $output here mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table2` (`foo`,

I have an app with a View based on the SurfaceHolder (similar to the Lunar Lander tutorial). The whole GUI is drawn on a canvas, and I want to be able to prompt for user text input at a given moment using a custom layout Dialog, that is then taken care of and rendered to the canvas using standard procedure. My problem, however, is that it seems that best practice is to open Dialogs from the Activity. This is no problem either, since i thought i might create a Handler and then pass it to the View that could in turn use it to pass Messages from the GUI thread in the View on to the Activity, that

I'm looking for the best way to take a simple input: echo -n "Enter a string here: " read -e STRING and clean it up by removing non-alphanumeric characters, lower(case), and replacing spaces with underscores. Does order matter? Is tr the best / only way to go about this? As dj_segfault points out, the shell can do most of this for you. Looks like you'll have to fall back on something external for lower-casing the string, though. For this you have many options, like the perl one-liners above, etc., but I think tr is probably the simplest. # first, strip underscores CLEAN=${STRING//_/} # next,
