At first I think it's easy but I don't find a way to do it.
I'm making a UITextView to display some text content, some works are pretty long. So by default of textView.textAlignment, some line left big blank because next word is long. Like this:
I'm typing some words here
to explain long word
willcause big blank
because in UITextView. It
makes some line left big
blank.
What I want is line break by clipping word, it's an pretty old style but I still want it, like this:
I'm typing some words here
to explain long word will-
cause big blank because in
UITextView. It makes some
line left big blank. I wa-
nt the line break by word
and just add '-' in the b-
reaking word.
At first I see UILabel has lineBreakMode property but I found UITextView don't have it at all. What I do now is use NSTextAlignmentJustified for textView.textAlignment, but it also cause very big blank between words.
Is it possible to display in 'word-clipping' way?
Thanks.

In cell E1 it says You-Gov but in the formula bar it says YouGov.
If I copy/paste values it stays the same, the formatting is General. Using =CODE(MID($E$1,4,1)) I get a value of 173.
Any idea what is happening?
What you have got here is called the "Soft Hyphen". It's purpose is to let the system know where a word may be broken, if needed, for display purposes.
"The HTML standard states that a hyphen character should be displayed at the end of the line where the break occurs if a line is broken at a soft hyphen. On the other hand, nothing is displayed if the line is not broken at a soft hyphen."
And that is exactly what is happening in Excel. It may appear in-cell but the formula-bar will only show the Soft Hyphen when the word it's used in is actually broken in the editor itself. To test this out, try to squeeze Excel and it's formula bar to a very narrow pane. You'll notice the Soft Hyphen will appear on-and-off depending if it's needed to be shown. It's rather funny that MS even mentioned the Soft Hyphen in their docs but it won't show in the matrix, probably for the same reason.
To solve your issue:
Press Ctrl+F
Select 'Replace'
Search for: Hold Alt and type 0173 on the numpad.
Replace with: - A normal hyphen.
Here is a fun little demonstration from here full of "shy" hyphens. Resize the window to make them visible one by one:

It seems impossible to find a very simple working example for an RTF numbered list that looks like this:
1. The first line
2. The second line
I tried to make a small sample by using Word but they produce a lot of garbage. Can anyone help out?
Somewhere I got this, but it's not working, only the first line is bulleted, more lines get appended to the first line.
\pard{\pntext\f0 1.\tab}\*\pn\pnlvlbody\pnf0\pnindent0\pnstart1\pndec{\pntxta.}}\fi-360\li480\sa50\sl0\slmult1 The first line
(My target is the RTF Edit box of Windows, so I'm not all concerned about backwards compatibility with older RTF readers like Word 6 which do not understand numbered lists and need fallback text formatted to look list numbers.)
The following works for me with the Windows RichTextBox control and Word version 1803:
{\rtf1
\pard{\pntext\f0 1.\tab}\*\pn\pnlvlbody\pnf0\pnindent0\pnstart1\pndec{\pntxta.}
\fi-360\li480\sa50\sl0\slmult1 The first line\par The second line\par The third line\par
\pard\par normal text
}
Inconsistencies come when you try to end the list without a blank line between the last list item and the normal text - Word displays it correctly, but the RTB control still shows "normal text" as part of the list (i.e. number 4.) if you remove the \par after \pard.
I have big data at excel, and some cells contains html codes. These cells have line breaks in them. I tried to replace line breaks (Alt+010, \n) but excel said there is no char like this.
When I copied cell to notepad, there is no line break.
When I copied from notepad to phpmyadmin sql area or textpad, I see line breaks again.
There are notepad, textpad and phpmyadmin sql area screenshots below. How can I remove these invisible line breaks?
This could be a problem with Carriage Return + Line Feed. When you press Alt+Enter in Excel it only incerts a Line Feed. But if you somehow get both Carriage Return + Line Feed in a cell that could leed to additional problems. See this page for solutions:
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2013/12/03/remove-carriage-returns-excel/
Did you try to remove any unnecessary tab within the code? Also check for some trivial things like e.g string max length in your mysql database or editor's miscellaneous settings.
EDIT. oh, I forgot. It may be also caused by your language settings, check for default database's regional coding preset and if Turkish is currently supported.
Line breaks - do you mean the line breaks you could introduce in Excel with ALT+ENTER?
Then you could use Search / Replace option in Excel without need to copy your content to another tool:
Open it and introduce in Search for CTRL+J (you will receive a point displayed in the search field).
In Replace you could introduce what you want (nothing, a space, a semicolon, ...).
Select Replace all.
EDIT:
I've tested it by copying html from textpad to one cell using clipboard. With this the method described by me is not working.
But there is another solution: Open replace command, for "search string" introduce ALT-Key (keep it pressed), then introduce by using the numeric key pad (on the right side of a "standard" keyboard) the tree digits 0 1 0 and finally release ALT-Key (you will see a point displayed in the search field). Choose as replacement string what you want and choose replace all.
Function =clean() helped me. Find/replace with ALT+J worked to replace, but did not fully deleted all the invisible characters in the string, so the cell was still misbehaving with text in columns. The =clean() function finally removed all the invisible characters left there.
I'm using real tab characters in my files, and when whitespace characters are set to invisible (which it is by default), then the farthest left I can go is column 8. But if I make whitespace visible (:set list!) then it still says that I'm at column 8, but it at least shows my cursor all the way to the left. What could be causing this?
This is not a matter of correct or incorrect. Vim just chooses to put the (single cell) cursor on the last cell of the Tab, and the jumping forward movement probably makes Tabs easier to detect, so most people like that behavior. Only with :set list, where a Tab is represented by a start and follow-up characters does this change.
If you really can't get used to it, the only workaround (short of modifying Vim's source code directly) is:
set list listchars=tab:\ \ " Note: trailing space after the last backslash!
Note that this has other side effects, e.g. when soft wrapping words.
It's not a bug or a problem, other than a visual annoyance. In the upper screenshot your cursor is at first character of the line. Try a character modifying command like rx on it, you'll see.
In the visual studio 2012 editor, I don't need to remove entire or multiple blank lines as all of the other stuff I could search on S/O is concerned with. I want to select multiple lines of aspx markup (usually from 2 to 10 or so) and remove the line endings on multiple lines of source code so that you end up with everything that was in the selected lines on one line. A small example of what I want to do is:
BEFORE source code:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive"
Width="50"]
[/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
AFTER:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive" Width="50"][/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
(replace the "[" chars above with "<" chars, and "]" with ">" chars, I entered it that way just to get it to display somewhat properly here)
It seems like this should be pretty simple, but I have tried various search/replace and regex values that are talked about in the many articles that talk about removing entire blank lines, but can't get anything to work. A little help? :)

Still trying, but this gets me really close:
In Visual Studio 2012 ide.
Working in an aspx file with its xml markup.
Do Ctrl-H to do a string search/replace on a selected stretch of xml (from start to finish of a particular well-formed tag, which may or may not contain subtags, but each tag is on a separate line).
Specify the following in the from textbox:
\s{2,}
Specify one blank space in the to textbox.
For the first example I gave, the result would be:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive" Width="50"] [/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
Note the single blank space between the separate tags (after the first ']' character and before the second '[' character) . If I could figure out how to not have that space in the result it would be perfect.

Oh duh. Otay, I think I got it, the from textbox value is the same, but for the to textbox value, instead of a single space, just have nothing. That seems to work for my specific use case (selecting a certain amount of xml within aspx markup and making it all be on a single line with no extraneous blank spaces). Yay!
In the VS2012 ide, Ctrl-H dialog, specify regex, then in the from textbox put:
\s{2,}
and in the to textbox put nothing.
Execute on whatever amount of xml that you have selected (from the beginning tag less-than character to its matching ending tag greater-than character, along with any/all subtags in between, over any number of lines of source code).
What you have selected will be condensed to one line of source code without any extraneous blank spaces present.
This seems to work for the xml that is in .NET aspx markup (what I specifically needed); not guaranteed to work anywhere else.
