Convert an ebcdic buffer to an ascii buffer.

Nifty way to swap two integers in C (C++) without using a temporary variable. Uses one line of code (3 assignments).

Read a eight bytes in little endian order from the given InputStream and create a long out of them.

Truncate String

Convert a password returned by JPasswordField::getPassword() into a String.

Set's a filter for what files to accept when using JFileChooser.

I needed these for a recent project, bits and bytes constants.

The modus operandi for this is similar to that taken by PHP's implementation of such functions. It's comparitively memory-intensive, but is much faster than running a whole bunch of tests.

Basically, you set a mask -- an array of 256 null bytes -- and set those that correspond to characters you wish to trim. Then, rather than having to test if a character is in the set of characters to trim(O(n), or linear time on *ws), you just test once (O(1), or unit time) to see if the byte in question is set.

And of course, to trim(), you just wrap trim() around both ltrim() and rtrim().

One point of caution: these functions trim in place, so copy strings before trimming them. (Of course, if you usually want access to both pre- and post-trimmed strings, you could always make these malloc() a new string and return a pointer to it . . . )

Turns any string backwards. If you input "Test" it gives out "tseT". Hope it's useful.

The snippet shows how to use it.

This little number will allow the contents of other pages to be included or embedded into the rendered HTML of an aspx page. Using the WebClient class from the .NET framework, you can conditionally load pages, even manipulate the HTML before it is rendered and in this example, fill in forms and execute javascript actions.

The following example shows how to auto-login to an Exchange Server - this was something requested for inclusion into our portal, but I left out the logic that pulls/decrypts the real password - for obvious reasons.

Enjoy!
