changing button image removes skscene

I started my projects as a Spritekit game. Put a button on top of my defaultviewcontroller in storyboard. Presented a scene in viewwilllayoutsubviews.

 if let scene = GameScene.unarchiveFromFile("GameScene") as? GameScene {
            // Configure the view.
            let skView = self.view as! SKView
            self.skView = skView
            skView.showsFPS = true
            skView.showsNodeCount = true

            /* Sprite Kit applies additional optimizations to improve rendering performance */
            skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true

            /* Set the scale mode to scale to fit the window */
            scene.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleMode.AspectFill
            println("Width: \(scene.frame.width) andHEight: \(scene.frame.height)")
            scene.gameSceneDelegate = self
            sceneStack.append(scene)
            skView.presentScene(scene)
        }

After some time I transitioned to a new scene through viewcontroller code:

skView.presentScene(scene, transition: transition)

Now the scene changes but the button I had put on view storyboard stays there.. on top of the scene. Now On pressing the button I change the image of button... This surprisingly results in the scene changing back to the previous scene. As a result on changing the buttons any property it results in poping of my new scene and reverts back to the scene I presented initially.

merge 2 array key values into one key value php

lets say i have an array like this:

Array
(
    [0] => first one
    [1] => second
)

Essentially i want to get both of the values and put them into the same value but separated with a comma.

The desired output would be this:

Array
(
    [0] => first one, second
)

I'm not sure what function can achieve this

MATCH reverse order

In an excel sheet, I have from A1 to A6:

1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9

I would like, using MATCH function, to retrieve the smallest interval that contains 5. Here, 4 and 6.

I can easily use the MATCH and INDEX function to find 4, but I can't find a way to find the 6.

How can I reverse the order of the Array in the MATCH function?

Ruby. Pry. Is there a way to stop a long running command with out exiting out of the whole pry session

I want something to stop a pry command but I don't want to exit to my shell. control-c is not what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to exit out of a loop or out of the entire session. I simply want to return to the pry prompt if I run a line of code that takes a long time...

SAS - how to find variable name in string which is similar to a specified sub-string

I want to find if a variable exisits in a string (&fixed) and if so, which word number.

%LET fixed = %STR(variable1 region1 variable3);

%IF %INDEX(&fixed, regio) %THEN
  %DO;
    %LET regioxc = %SCAN(&fixed, %SYSFUNC(FIND(&fixed, regio)));
  %END;

I want to create a macro variable called regioxc, which could be equal to either region1 one time, and the next time the macro is run it could be equal to regiodc, or something else (always with the beginning string 'regio'), if that is the region variable specified within the &fixed string. This only works if the regio variable is specified first within the &fixed string, but in this case it is the second variable, so this does not work. I cannot find a robust method of creating the variable (word) count value from the &fixed string to be able to use the scan function. I know it should be 2, in this case. Any help here would be much appreciaited.

Prevent rdlc subreport from growing and moving within main report

I keep dealing with visual studio 2013 report designer.

My biggest problem at the moment is to spare exaclty one sheet of a4 paper (210 mm * 297 mm) per every data record. The length of the details section of the main report varies all the time depending on the lengths of subreports and (seems to me) something else.

Is there a way to keep unchanged both the size and location of a subreport within the main report ?

Thank you in advance !

Yii2 Html::dropDownList and Html::activeDropDownList trade-off

In Yii2, using Html::activeDropDownList, I can submit data in a form like the following:

 <?= Html::activeDropDownList($model, 'category', ArrayHelper::map($categories, 'id', 'name'), [
       'multiple' => 'multiple',
       'class' => 'multiselect',
 ]) ?>

Is there a way to specify pre-selected categories in the above? I know it can be done using Html::dropDownLost like the following:

<?= Html::dropDownList('category', [1, 3, 5], ArrayHelper::map($categories, 'id', 'name'), [
     'multiple' => 'multiple',
     'class' => 'multiselect',
]) ?>

But there is a trade-off! There is no place to indicate that this is some data attached to a certain model to submit as there was using Html::activeDropDownList.

One of the solution I found was to use ActiveForm like the following:

<?= $form->field($model, 'category')
      ->dropDownList('category', [1, 3, 5], ArrayHelper::map($categories, 'id', 'name')
]) ?>

The problem I have with that last option is that I am not able to specify the html options such as 'multiple' and css such as 'class'.

Any help on being able to use drop down list with the ability to specify that the list be multiselect and have pre-selected values? Also if someone directed me to a resource where I can read about when and where to choose activeDropDownList or dropDownList, I would really appreciate that.

Thanks!

Angularjs - bind dynamic data to predefined template

I'm trying to bind dynamic scope variable with predefined html template. The data is being built based on user selection via drop-down and has ng-click on a button that calls the method to build scope variable, see below for an example:

HTML:

<select id="category" class="form-control" ng-model="dataParam.category">
    <option value="">Choose Category</option>
    <option value="">overview</option>
    <option value="">mention</option>
    <option value="">sentiment</option>
</select>
<button ng-click="buildMetricData()" class="form-control">New</button>

I have template defined as overview-form-temp.html and using ng-include to load it on the view:

<section id="overview" class="well custom-margin" ng-include="'Views/overview-form-temp.html'"></section>

Template:

<form id="overview-form" name="overview-form" novalidate>
    <fieldset class="space-bottom">
        <legend>U.S. Brand Reputation</legend>
        <div class="form-horizontal form-widgets col-sm-12">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="awarness" class="col-sm-3">Awareness:</label>
                <div class="col-sm-2">
                    <input type="number" min="0" id="awareness" class="form-control" ng-model="metricData.subcategory['us total']['awareness']" />
                </div>
                <div style="clear:both;"></div>
                <label for="hight-trust" class="col-sm-3">High Trust:</label>
                <div class="col-sm-2">
                    <input type="number" min="0" id="high-trust" class="form-control" ng-model="metricData.subcategory['us total']['high trust']" />
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </fieldset>
</form>

Controller:

var app = angular.module('AdminApp',[]);
app.controller('MainDataContrl', ['$scope','$compile', function($scope,$compile){
    $scope.buildMetricData = function(){

        $scope.metricData = {
            params:{},
            subcategory:{}
        }

        switch($scope.metricData .params.category){
            case 'Overview':
                $scope.metricData.subcategory['us total'] = {};
                break;
        }
    }
}]);

The data is building the way expected but I'm having issues binding it to the template above.

How unreferred values from string pool get removed?

I'm curious how values from a string-pool get removed?

suppose:

String a = "ABC"; // has a reference of string-pool
String b = new String("ABC"); // has a heap reference

b = null;
a = null;

In case of GC, "ABC" from the heap gets collected but "ABC" is still in the pool (because its in permGen and GC would not affect it).

If we keep adding values like:

String c = "ABC"; // pointing to 'ABC' in the pool. 

for(int i=0; i< 10000; i++) {
  c = ""+i;
  // each iteration adds a new value in the pool. Previous values don't have a pointer.
}

What I want to know is:

• Will the pool remove values that are not referred to? If not, it means that the pool is eating up unnecessary memory.
• What is the point then because the JVM is using the pool?
• When could this be a performance risk?

I'm assuming that mDrawerLayout isn't being picked up correctly and is therefore returning null but I can't figure out why that is.

Create new worksheet if does not exist, rename based on cell value, then reference that worksheet

I have 2 workbooks one has the vba (MainWb), the other is just a template (TempWb) that the code paste values and formulas from the mainworkbook. The TempWb only has one blank sheet named graphs. The code needs to open the xltx file (TempWb), add a sheet and rename based on value in a certain cell on the MainWb (if it does not already exist) and then to reference that new sheet in the copy values process from the MainWb. I tried recording a macro but it didn't really help. I have researched and put some stuff together but not sure if it fits and works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have 4,000 xml files in folders a, b, c, and d Each folder contains 1000 files each. All folders are in main folder called library I need to check if the xml files are well formed using

xmllint --noout 100.xml"

command or may be with something better. Now incase of error, log the file name plus folder name in a log file.

log "library/a/100.xml"

Below is the Pseudo code. I need to build the script to run in shell script or something faster

#program check xml format
#!/bin/bash
echo Please, get ready to process
 for i in $(cat "/home/thrinity/library/);
  do
    xmllint --noout "$i" ;
    if error
      #log filefolder & file name
      print error to errorlog.txt
    else
end do

Corona SDK While loop crash

What is wrong with this code that it crashes the simulator? I'm new to Corona SDK, but I know alot of Lua from Roblox.

local x,y,touching,active = 2,2,false,true
local background = display.newImage("Icon.png",(display.pixelWidth/2)+30,y)
background:scale(60,60)
print("Started")

function move()
    y=y+1
end

function onObjectTouch(event)
    if event.phase == "began" then
        touching = true
        while touching == true do
            timer.performWithDelay( 1000, move)
        end
    elseif event.phase == "ended" then
        touching = false
    end
    return true
end

background:addEventListener("touch",onObjectTouch)

CreateDialog in BHO always fails with error 1813 (resource not found)

I'm working on a BHO written a long time ago in C++, without the use of any of the VS wizards. As a result, this project deviates from the COM conventions and the boilerplate for a COM product. I worked with COM long ago, but never really did any Windows GUI/dialog stuff...

I'm trying to add a dialog box to allow the user to set the values of some new settings:

// serverDialog will be NULL
HWND serverDialog = CreateDialog(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_PROPPAGE_SETTINGS), NULL, DialogProc);

id (!serverDialog) 
{
    int error = GetLastError(); //1813
    ...
}

....

1813 means that the resource cannot be found. The IDD used there is in resource.h, which I manually included where needed.

DialogProc is defined as:

INT_PTR CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND hWndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
    return FALSE;
}

Which I know I will have to change later if I want the dialog to actually process messages, but I haven't gotten that far yet. The 1813 error suggests failure before the dialog is even created as does the NULL dialog handle returned.

To add the dialog I used the Add Resource wizard and added a small property page.

I've tried to follow advice here, but to no avail.

Thanks!

How to format a US currency string using python or sed

I have numerous invoices that I sent to clients with this string at the bottom: Total: 1,000.00 or whatever the amount. Some are 2 figures, some 5 figures + the decimal part.

The thing is that the number's format is inconsistant accross all invoices. Sometimes its 1.000,00 and it keeps on switching the dot and the coma.

so with grep, awk and sed, i am able to only get the amount part from all invoices, without the dollar sign in order to sum them up to a grand total. But the dot and coma switching confuses python, obviously.

So in python (could be in sed as well), i am looking to convert the third char from the right to a dot and then from there on, every fourth char it finds, convert it to a coma.

In other words, it has to be able to separate the digits in groups of 3 from the right, add a coma in between each of them except for the first group at the far right which would be 2 digits separated by a dot.

Hope that is clear enough...

Write a million records into an Excel

I tried to write data into excel with a million record using phpExcel. but it take too much time.

 

    $header=array('test1','test1','test1','test1','test1','test1','test1','test1');
    
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
    
    // Set document properties
     
   $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Maarten Balliauw")
                                     ->setLastModifiedBy("Maarten Balliauw")
                                     ->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
                                     ->setSubject("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
                                     ->setDescription("Test document for Office 2007 XLSX, generated using PHP classes.")

                                     ->setCategory("Test result file");

     
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->fromArray($header,NULL,'A1');  
     
$sheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();  
    
// $final_xls_data1 is set of small records
    // $rowcount this variable is set of old rowcounts and set 
$rowcount=$rowcount +1.
    
// create 8 small set of records. then add array in excel object
    $sheet->fromArray($final_xls_data1,NULL,'A'.$rowcount);

    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');

        $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);  
    header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
        header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="01simple.xlsx"');

        $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
        $objWriter->save($xls_file_path);

How can I do this?

Dynamics CRM 2015 - update Opportunity Owner id via javascript

I'm trying to update the OwnerId on an opportunity in Dynamics CRM 2015.

So far I am using the following code but my changes are not taking effect.

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('ownerid').setValue('487ecd0c-d8c1-e411-80eb-c4346bade4b0')
Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

This is a view of the GetValue call.

The attribute type is "lookup" and when I call getIsDirty(), it returns false after I do setValue, so I'm not sure if that's the correct way to set the value on a "lookup" type.

Bash readline history previous line before history expansion

There are usually the keys Up and Ctrl+P mapped to previous-history Readline command in Bash which moves back in history to previous line with history expanded.

How to move to the previous line before History expansion? E.g. to line like

Should I use sync or blocking channels?

I have several go routines and I use unbuffered channels as sync mechanism. I'm wondering if there is anything wrong in this(e.g. compared with a WaitGroup implementation). A known "drawback" that I'm aware of is that two go routines may stay blocked until the 3rd(last) one completes because the channel is no buffered but I don't know the internals/what this really means.

func main() {
    chan1, chan2, chan3 := make(chan bool), make(chan bool), make(chan bool)
    go fn(chan1)
    go fn(chan2)
    go fn(chan3)
    res1, res2, res3 := <-chan1, <-chan2, <-chan3
}

Polymer 1.0: google-signin sign in still success when user revoke permissions

I am using a google-signin element to have access to user's access scopes. I found, if I as a user authorize the my app with certain scopes, then revoke those scopes without clicking on "Sign out" button (basically the google-signin element), the google-sign is result as onSigninSuccess event even without the authorization.

This is weird. It should be onSigninFailure because the app doesn't have the corresponding scopes of authorizations from the user.
