This little function does great for passwords, usernames, files, and anything else you need a random string for.

I like to have these two methods in my toolbelt, even though it's syntactic sugar, I think it aids clarity.

This is a simple script to generate a random alphanumeric string.

This is a random password generator that produces understandable passwords based on word lists. I've only included a 3 entry world list because you should chose a list based on your password requirements and your users. If you need to generate passwords that are 14 characters in length, you will want a different list than if you're generating 8 character passwords. And depending on your users, you may want to use certain lists. The list I use is about 4000 words that are 5-7 characters long, all well-known words that have had potentially objectionable content removed. For security reasons I don't want to include this list.

A note on security: though this generates relatively strong passwords for the average user, they are particularly susceptible to brute-force attacks. This is even more an issue if somehow your word list gets compromised. I would not recommend using this function for anything where a highly secure password is needed.

A note on choosing your list: You'll also see that I've built the system to avoid generating passwords with zeros and ones in them. This is because zero and upper-case "o" can be confused as can one, lower-case "L" and upper-case "i." When choosing my word list I was also sure to strip out all words that start with the letter "o" or "i" (to prevent the optional ucfirst() from creating 0/O and I/1 confusion) and words that contain the letter "L" (to prevent l/1 confusion). I find that this greatly helps with preventing confusion, but again weakens the security of the passwords some. It's your choice.

Adds any character at the given index of a string.

NOTE: Count starts from 0

This simple function simply removes the character at the given index from a string.

NOTE: The count starts from 0

Return a random number within a gived range

Function that splits a given string into sections based on the allowed length for a section. Does not split words up. Splits string on Space character (can be set to another character)

To create a chatprogram in java we need 2 classes one for Client and one for Server from which the client will be able to connect and exchange text messages. to compile the code simply type these commands in command prompt window:-
1)ipconfig(memorize the Ip address)
2)javac client.java
3)javac server.java
4)java server 10.69.23.203 (You need to type your own ip address)
5) After this you need to open another command prompt window(Make sure the server command prompt window is also open). now type:
java client 10.69.23.203
Thats it.
if anyone have any problems please post a comment and i will answer all of your questions or if you are having trouble in compiling.

What is Dijkstra Algorithm? click on the link above and first understand what the algorithm is all about. in short it calculates the shortest path from A to F or vise versa. This code i can guarantee is the simplest and easiest code to understand. just search on google and try to compare this code and other dijkstra code and you will see what i am talking about. i spent alot of time myself and my instructor to guide me on the rite path.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm(Description)
to see how the algorithm really works go on this website it tells you step by step how to update the cost and which path to choose.
http://renaud.waldura.com/doc/java/dijkstra/
Please give some time to understand the algorithm first and then you can see my code. if you done understand the algorithm it is very useless. i know alot of people need Dijkstra algorithm in java for their HW assignment or Test. i am giving you the solution step by step. anyone who wants to understand please go to the url i have posted above and once you have understand then run the code and for those people who just want to copy so that they can get 90% in their test No Problem Here it is .
First open a notepad and name that file anything like data.txt or datas.txt and make sure the file looks something like this and in this format.
0 3 100 5 100 100 (100 represents infinity)
3 0 6 7 7 100
100 6 0 5 5 3
5 7 5 0 1 100
100 7 5 1 0 2
100 100 3 100 2 0
i name this file as a data.txt file. i have 6 nodes. and A is always the starting node which has the cost of 0 so by looking at the first line i
know that A to A have distance 0, A to B is 3, A to c is Infinity, A to D is 5, A to E is Infinity(means no edge connected with A), A to F is Infinity.
for second line(B to A is 3, and then vise versa) and for the 3rd line it starts for C and etc..
save the txt file by any name and then copy the code which i have posted and then to run type this:
javac routing.java
java routing data.txt
you will get the output. i will say this one more time understand how the algorithm works or ......................

Two very usefull functions to have around.

(note: dollarfy requires commify to work)

This function creates relatively secure random passwords. It's by no means ideal, but it should work in most non-critical situations. The nice thing is the generator attempts to create passwords that people can pronounce and chooses letters that won't be mistaken for others (such as the numeral "1", an upper-case "i" and a lower-case "L"). To keep the code short much of this functionality is very rudimentary, but it's better than nothing.

This is a quick and easy method to generate a somewhat random password. This simply generates the MD5 hash for the integer returned by the time() function and then truncates it to the specific length.

Creates a random string, usefull for passwords etc.

Use: $password = makeRandomPassword($Length);

If $Length is not specified (ie $password = makeRandomPassword();) then it will default to 8 characters

I use this function when passing an array to a function being called from setTimeout();

It works with Array types. The example is a simple list of numbers, but the array could contain anything; lists of strings, functions, DOM nodes, whatever. Unfortunately, a lot of things that seem like arrays in the DOM aren't really, so you can't shuffle the images on a page with just document.images.shuffle() all by itself.

Similar to Perl's CGI::escapeHTML(), though (because we can!) this adds it as a method to all String objects.

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

The snippet shows how to use it.

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 . . . )

Generates an 88 character secure hash string for the passed in strings.

This function loads an File into an String.

This function provides the reverse of a string. It is constructed using string builder because strings in .NET are immutable, while stringbuilders are not. Therefore large strings could be slow to reverse if a regular string was used for the working value that is returned.

This snippet generates a secure hash string using VB.NET

One of best and unknown built in string function included in .NET is String.Split(). It has come in quite handy for my in the last 2 years that I thought I'd share. Pretty basic example here...and for my first post, I thought I'd throw in a little File IO (for free of course)! This was written in .NET 2.0 and it will take little to no modification to make it work in 1.0/1.1.

Gets a regular expression that'll search for any regexp pattern specified in the parameters.

Gets the rightmost substring, of the specified length, from a String object.

Sometimes you need to remove slashes from POST variables which could contain arrays. The standard slipslashes-function only takes a string as parameter.

This function removes slashes from both a simple string and array variable.

Generate a random number or string in PHP.

Convert an irregular name=value pair string into a formatted array.

Given a string, you can return an Enum value

Originally found at http://codeproject.com/dotnet/EnumTips.asp?df=100&forumid=38264&exp=0&select=797671

Fixed the regular expression to check for more strict requirements.

This function calculates how many lines will text occupy.
Example (simple):


$string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Phasellus tincidunt posuere dolor";

$num_lines = how_many_lines(10, $string);

It accepts a third, optional, parameter $options, that allows you to change behaviour. $options should be array. Following configuration options are available:

'white_spaces' - default: array(' ', "\t") - array of chars, that should be treated as whitespace.

'new_lines' - default: array("\r\n", "\n") - array of strings, that should be treated as newlines. For example, for HTML you can set 'new_lines' => array('');

'force_line_breaks' - default: true - force wrapping, when the token is longer than width, or not. If set to false, and token cannot be fitted into $width, function will return false;

'callback' - default: null - callback function for determining character width. Must accept at least one parameter - $char

'callback_params' - default: array() - optional additional callback parameters

'char_widths' - default: null - associative array in a form $char => $width, which contains char width. If $char is not found in the array, it's width is defaulted to 0.

Format Bytes

Remove newslines from a string.

This multiple-use PHP script will randomly generate content based on a randomly generated number.

If you have ever written a website or java application where people paste stuff in from Word, you are likely to have hit the problem of Word using high ascii chars for "open quotes", "close quotes", reg symbol, etc...

This java class (with a single static method) can replace the most prevalent of these with normal ascii values
