I have different numbers and calculation signs in a string format text in android studio. I want my numbers show correctly but if I do not put space before signs my numbers are shown separately when text get to end of lines. If I put space, so I will have redundant spaces in my screen. What should I do to have correct shown numbers and not to have redundant spaces?! My program is in Kotlin language.
You can use the triple quote(""") option in Kotlin. It's good for specifying exactly how you want the text to look. This code:
val string = """
Multiple
line string
"""
println(string)
Will show:
Multiple
line string

I can find several topics and solutions on importing from excel to SAS and how to deal with variable names containing blanks or spaces.
However, in my situation, some of the variable values contain spaces at the end, and after importing I can see the trailing blanks, but compress does not remove them.
I'm thinking they're some other type of character. I've tried some modifiers on the compress function, but cannot seem to make it recognize these spaces.
Because I'm often creating different excel files, I would prefer not having to remove the blanks manually. Is there an option to the proc import step I should add, or is there a modifier I can provide to the compress function to solve this?
I'm using the following basic code to import:
proc import out = METADATA
datafile = "&mdata\meta_data.xlsx"
DBMS = Excel replace;
SHEET = "Sheet1";
GETNAMES = YES;
run;
EDIT (after implementing instructions from comments):
I don't really know how my component of SAS is called - I started working with SAS recently.
I'm using some kind of editor, with a VIEWTABLE window. When looking at my dataset this way, I can select (as in highlight) the variable values. One of my values has a trailing whitespace - I can highlight a finite space beyond the string, which I can't for the other variables. And I know the space is there because I have put it there in excel as well.
The length of my variable is 8, and setting the format to $HEX128 shows:
DOSE 444F534520202020
DOSE2 444F534532A02020
DOSE2 contains the blank space so it's actually 'DOSE2 ' in excel and in the VIEWTABLE.
When converting from string to hex I believe '2' is converted to 32.
That means the whitespace is converted to 'A0' instead of '20'.
Just as a reference for other people searching on these keywords or this topic:
After importing from excel where your values contain spaces, you might end up with a special kind of whitespace: these are non-breaking spaces.
You can find out by setting the format to $HEX128. - the whitespaces should be converted to A0 instead of 20, used for regular whitespaces.
If you want to remove these, you can use var = compress(var, 'A0'x);
I am entering a string in a Userform in Excel-VBA from the user side of the form. I would want to know how to enter the Long Hyphen.
The Small Hyphen would be Shift + - the (the minus sign button next to 0).
How would you enter the Long Hyphen on the form as I am doing a string match in my VBA code on the back-end? It can be entered with Alt+0150, but is there another simpler way?
If the option of entering the Long Hyphen doesn't work then I will handle this value on the back-end through a find and replace method or something in VBA.
๐ There is only one "Hyphen"... โโ It's part of a แดแฉแฐแฅแชฦณ แดา แแผแฉแแฉแไธ
แดแแ called Dashes.
Examples:
Hyphen [-] (-)
Minus sign [โ] (โ)
En dash [โ] (โ)
Em dash [โ] (โ)
โฑ Your browser might render them differently, but the fonts above are supposed to be [Consolas or Courier 13px] and (Arial or Helvetica 15px). While they all kind of look the same in this font, those are four different characters.
The characters can be copy/pasted directly from here - โ โ โ into Excel (but not to the the VBA Editor), or can be produced along with 136,686 other Unicode characters, either:
with a worksheet formula, using the แดษดษชแดสแดส function:
=UNICHAR(9733) 'produces a [โ
] star character.
programmatically with VBA, using the ChrW function:
Range("A1") = ChrW(9743) 'puts a wee [โ] rotary phone in cell A1.

"Stealing" Unicode characters from websites
There are all sorts of handy Unicode symbols โ so many that it can be hard to find "just" the right one.
However you can (and will!) find other Unicode symbols on web pages that you want to use programmatically. All you need is the symbol's code, which can be determined easily:
Copy/paste the symbol from your browser (being careful to copy only the single character; no spaces, etc.) into a cell in Excel
then, go to VBA's Immediate Window ( AltF11โCtrlG ), type:
MsgBox AscW([a1])
...(Where A1 is the cell with the character). Hit Enter, and the character's Unicode code will display.
You could also use Windows' built-in Character Map utility, or one of many third-party browser plug-ins. You can even paste a symbol directly into Google to learn more about it:
Finally, no discussion on the topic of Unicode would be complete without links to:
โโ๐ โThe Unicode Consortium (unicode.org) and,
โโ๐ โโศถษฆษ ๐๐ธ๐ธ๐ต ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ โโโงโฃ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฃโ โ(Yes, those are all plain text characters.)
...and if you're looking for a unique gift, or just want your name to go down in history for something that really matters, you can even adopt a Unicode character, starting at $100 แดsแด
!
Special thanks to Vinton Cerf for adopting the Unicode Leonard Nimoy's "Live Long and Prosper" symbol.

Is it possible to create any formula in excel to kick out any certain portion from a string and keep the rest? If I consider this a string Utopia(UTP), my expected output is UTP. To be specific: I would like to grab the bracketed portion and strip the rest.
These are the texts I would like to apply formula on:
Utopia(UTP)
Euphoria(EUPR)
Ecstasy(ECST)
The output I wish to have:
UTP
EUPR
ECST
FIND() will identify where a particular character first appears in a string. You can use this to find the parentheses in your text strings. Then plug those numbers into MID to extract the strings you want:
=MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1)
I'm making a simple android game in Lua, and in one of its steps to set the game is set an word (or sentence; basically, a string) input by the player. The "word" may have spaces, but I want to forbid the player to input a string with two or more spaces in a row, like "fly bird".
I tried using string.match(word, " "), string.match(word, "%s%s")
and string.match(word, "%s+%s+") and none of these worked, and somehow, the last one always "detect" double space, no matter if it has or not spaces.
What can I do to detect if there are multiple spaces in a row in a string? (Just detect, not replace, so I can send a warning message to the player.)
If its exactly two spaces you are interested in, simply use find
word:find(' ')
It will return range of first occurrence of two consecutive spaces.
input = input:gsub("%s+", " ")
The above code should take the input and remove all excessive spacing and replace it with just 1 space.
I have been trying to create a Visual C++ program which takes a string from a text box, then counts the number of characters in it and puts each character in different label. With which functions can I take the string from the text box, split the string on characters and put every character in different label?
Use GetDlgItemText to copy text into char-array or a CString object. If text-control is mapped to a CEdit variable, use GetWindowText to copy text into buffer.
Use strlen or CString::GetLength to find the length of string. If you want to trim spaces, use CString::Trim
Then run a loop starting from 0th index till the length-1. Locate what those characters are, and place them into target controls.
