Has anyone tried trustix? Theres not much info about it on the web. I installed it tonight, and it seems like a pretty well put together linux distro. Very centered towards servers, and not workstations.

My boss called me over and asked me to write a T-SQL function on behalf of our web guy, that would arbitrarily strip out all HTML tags from a VARCHAR. In any other language like PHP, Perl, etc., I'd employ Regular Expressions to do this globally. However, T-SQL only really has PATINDEX and CHARINDEX, those aren't all that powerful.

I did wind up coming up with an iterative solution, which I thought I'd share with everyone to get suggestions and feedback.



CREATE TABLE #tmpText (
id INT IDENTITY(1, 1),
data varchar(4000)
)

INSERT INTO #tmpText (data)
VALUES ('this is some html')

INSERT #tmpText VALUES (
'


SOME HTML text after the body'
)

INSERT #tmpText VALUES (
'

Another HTML text after the body'
)

-- WHILE a '<' and '>' pair are present and the former's position is less than the latter's position value
-- Find a '<' then the next '>' positions, and run a stuff to remove whatever's in between!

BEGIN TRANSACTION
WHILE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM #tmpText
WHERE PATINDEX('%<%>%', data) > 0
)
BEGIN
UPDATE #tmpText
SET data = STUFF(data, PATINDEX('%<%>%', data), CHARINDEX('>', data) - PATINDEX('%<%>%', data) + 1, '')
WHERE PATINDEX('%<%>%', data) > 0
END

SELECT *
FROM #tmpText

ROLLBACK



I'm going to keep trying to dissect this in order to come up with a cleaner, non-iterative solution. If anyone else already has a function that does this in one fell-swoop, rather than via looping, PLEASE share it! :-)

UPDATE: I've made further code changes to handle a few odd circumstances and have finished the function. Thought I'd share it with everyone for a "peer review." Please comment away!


ALTER FUNCTION uf_stripHTML
(
   @strHTML varchar(8000),
   @flgFormat int = 1
)
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Date Written: 02-10-2005
-- Purpose: Arbitrarily strip all text between all pairs of < > tags. This SHOULD be
-- HTML but theoretically could be other data?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Input Parameters: @strHTML = The string that we are stripping HTML from.
-- @flgFormat = If set to 1 (DEFAULT), then the function will attempt to
-- preserve basic formatting by detecting non-breaking spaces, start and end
-- paragraph tags, and break-return tags, and replacing them with their
-- ASCII equivalents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Comments: This solution employs an iterative algorithm to repeatedly sweep through
-- the variable's text, removing HTML tags one at a time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DECLARE @ltPosition int

-- If flgFormat is 1, then replace pre-determined list of tags and characters with
-- corresponding values!
IF @flgFormat = 1
BEGIN
   SET @strHTML = REPLACE(@strHTML, '

', CHAR(10) + CHAR(13))
   SET @strHTML = REPLACE(@strHTML, '

Hi all,

I'm new here and in a bit of a time crunch, so forgive me for not searching all the archives yet, but I'm hoping somebody can help me.

I'm looking for info on how to talk to Exchange Servers with .NET. Specifically, I'd like to get things like the Calendar out of Exchange for my users, via .NET so I can post that info on a website on a different server. If anyone can point me in the direction of good documentation or (better yet) sample code for these sorts of things, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
Nolan

hi all

i have a webservice that returns multiple datasets of different tables that i need to merge/sync with a destination database that is accessible through a middle tier component that i wrote. unfortunately, i'm restricted to the use of ado.net and datasets due to the nature of the webservice in question. i'm working with moderately high number of records (largest table is around 5k rows) that i need to insert into the destination database, and i'm using the dataset.merge method with a customized insertcommand (as i need to wrap identity insert on around it and also the table columns won't be determined till run time) passed to the dataset, and it's pretty slow. i think part of the slowness comes from having to figure out the column schema of the varying tables, and also the fact that ado.net is not particularly a useful tool for data transfer. just wanted to know if anyone has any pointers/ideas as to how to optimize this routine? thanks in advance for your input.

Hello all, Our semesters are all coming to an end and the college book stores are gearing up for us to come in by the thousands and practically give our used books away.

I tried to beat the system using some of the larger on-line sites but with shipping and website fees I found myself right back in the bookstore. This semester I decided to take a chance and be different.

I created a website where we can all do this for free. The concept is simple but I think it will work well. Both the books laying around on my floor from 2 classes ago and the ones I'm currently using can be posted now because I made a field to indicate when the book is available. If enough students are using the site on the same campus you can pick up a book on my site from someone getting out of a class you plan to take next.

This is our site and I'm really looking for your feedback. Please check it out, post a book, and let me know what you think. Thanks - Alan C. www.YourBookSwap.com

Hello. I'm having a lot of trouble with some viruses (trojans? dialers?) on my computer. It's a Dell Dimension 8400, Windows XP. What happened was that when I logged onto AIM, it suddenly shut down, and an icon with a picture of woman's eyes and the words "XXX" appeared on my desktop. A few porn sites appeared in my favorites list too. A couple minutes later, the Internet inexpliacably logged off, citing a sspMyDoom.cih trojan as the reason. I do not know what this is. I can't find anything remotely comprehensible that would help me get rid of this trojan. So that's my first problem. I don't know if this is the reason for the mystery porn.

The second problem is that I ran a virus scan with Norton Anti-Virus 2004, and 25 things came up--possible threats, I believe. I asked it to delete them, but it only deleted 4 for some reason. Most of it is Adware, but a couple of them are Dialers.

So what exactly is a dialer? How do I get rid of it? I looked it up on Symantec and two in particular (Dialer.Tibbs and Dialer.webview) fit the description for the porn thing. How would I get rid of it?

I would greatly appreciate any adivce you'd have to give me. It's very embarrassing having this unwanted porn on my computer, especially where my parents can see. Please help me if you could, and I apologize in advance if I sound like an idiot.

EDIT: UPDATE: I did what Symantec.com said to do to get rid of the dialers, but Norton Anti-Virus won't let me delete it. So that's another problem to add on. Thanks again in advance.

Hello. Yesterday I began getting a vaguely worded error every time I check my mail on a certain account. It says "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: UID (7204)" I *think* I am receiving all my messages, but sometimes it looks like it's downloading something and it doesn't actually come through.

I am inclined to believe that this is a problem on the server's side, since it doesn't happen on my other account, but it seems odd since I have no problems accessing mail from that server if I go to the website to do it.

Could there be some setting that got messed up?

Thanks!

I have been tinkering with Satisfiability solvers of late, but they all take input in CNF format and as my logic is not always of that form, I have a question: do you know of any algorithms to transform an arbitrary AND/OR tree into a set of CNF clauses? Can the result be shown to be minimal (cannot be done with fewer clauses nor fewer variables per clause), or is determining if a boolean logic relation between inputs and an output is minimal an NP-complete problem in itself?

On another note, it seems one can factorize in pseudopolynomial time by dynamic programming. Run the Sieve of Eratosthenes, but for each discovered prime, assign that prime to multiples of it that haven't been assigned to something else already. Then, starting at some number within the sieve, divide by the number assigned to it (which is one of its prime factors) and recurse until a prime is reached.
I don't know if this is common knowledge, though it seems simple in retrospect. It might be interesting as I didn't find any mention of it on the obvious web searches.
