ruby - How do I remove non UTF-8 characters from a String? -


i need remove non utf-8 characters string. here snap of text.

enter image description here

this how looks when open string in npp, , set encoding utf-8:

enter image description here

i think ack , ff non utf-8 characters.

i tried str.scrub str.encode. neither of them seems work. scrub returns same result, , encode results in error.

we have few problems.

the biggest ruby string stores arbitrary bytes along supposed encoding, no guarantee bytes valid in encoding , no obvious reason encoding have been chosen. (i might biased heavy user of python 3. never speak of "changing string 1 encoding another".)

fortunately, editor did not eat post, it's hard see that. i'm guessing decoded string windows-1252 in order display it, obscures issue.

here's string of bytes see it:

>> s = "\x06-~$a\xa7rug\xf9\"\x9a\f\xb6/k".b => "\x06-~$a\xa7rug\xf9\"\x9a\f\xb6/k" >> s.bytes => [6, 45, 126, 36, 65, 167, 114, 117, 71, 249, 34, 154, 12, 182, 47, 75]

and contain bytes not valid utf-8.

>> s.encoding => #<encoding:ascii-8bit> >> string::new(s).force_encoding(encoding::utf_8).valid_encoding? => false

we can ask decode utf-8 , insert � encounter bytes not valid utf-8:

>> s.encode('utf-8', 'binary', :undef => :replace) => "\u0006-~$a�rug�\"�\f�/k"

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
