Last night, my little brother asked me if it were possible to make a program that would substitute every letter for another letter in the alphabet, to turn it into a code, and also turn it back to its normal state.
So I made this: http://www.skyetheguy.com/novatranslationtool
And by all accounts, it does the job, but I feel like, code-wise, it's clunky as all get-out, and I'd really love to improve my knowledge on things like loops...
EDIT: The above has since been updated with DodgerThud's amazing answer and works like a dream. : ) Dreams DO come true!
Also, this is very pie-in-the-sky, but it'd be amazing to get this to work with longer-than-two-characters things. My code definitely wouldn't do that at all. But, you know, all those fun codes with apostrophes in them... good stuff!

Just gonna tell you why I did all the incredibly arbitrary and loopy stuff that I did...
If you do any of the other normal replace things other people have talked about here (from what I've FOUND, at least), you end up replacing your own work at a certain point. For example if you want B to be A, but then you want A to be C, then if you type "BA", you get back "CC" instead of "AC". So my code actually takes each character and spits them all out one at a time.
I did all that tedious ".toUpperCase()" stuff to make sure that this tool was case-sensitive-- so that if I typed in a lowercase or uppercase key, it would always generate the proper one in its place. That's why RegExp didn't quite work for me.
It also takes into account things like line breaks and random symbols not included in the alphabet.
I know for SURE there's simpler, more energy-efficient ways to code this, but I just have no idea how.
I'm gonna expand on my comment and show you how can simplify your code and cut out a lot of it.
First off, you don't need to use Arrays. String objects in essence already are Arrays of byte values. So instead of creating big arrays, you can do this
var alphabet:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var substitution:String = "mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq";
In order to access a specific character, you can simply call the indexOf method on the string.
var indexOfJ = alphabet.indexOf("j");
trace(indexOfJ); //puts out 9
And you already now how to get the character of a string from a specific index.
var charAtIndex7:String = alphabet.charAt(7);
trace(charAtIndex7); //puts out "h"
Edit fom here:
Looks like I was only half-awake when I wrote that answer last night. The issue with the double for-loop is simply that it will always run the whole way through, even if it found an if clause that gets accepted. You already figured out on
your own that the last else-clause causes the input character to be printed 25 times. So, lets fix it.
function cipher(input:Textfield, output:Textfield, alphabet:String, substitution:String){
textinProgress = input.text;
var result:String = "";
for(var b=0;b<textinProgress.length;b++)
{
var anyHit = false;
for(var i=0;i<alphabet.length;i++){
if(textinProgress.charAt(b).search(alphabet.charAt(i)) == 0){
result += substituton.charAt(i);
anyHit = true;
break;
}
else if(textinProgress.charAt(b).search(alphabet.charAt(i).toUpperCase()) == 0){
result += substituton.charAt(i).toUpperCase();
anyHit = true;
break;
}
else if(textinProgress.charAt(b) == "\r"){
result += "\n";
anyHit = true;
break;
}
}
if(anyHit == false){
result += textinProgress.charAt(b);
}
}
output.text = result;
}
I had a coworker test this code for me earlier today, and it should work as intended.
But that's not all we can do to simplify your code. We can cut out the second if clause by defining our alphabet and substitution variables with both lowercase and uppercase letters.
var alphabet:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var substitution:String = "mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewqMNBVCXZLKJHGFDSAPOIUYTREWQ";
You should also be able to put in special symbols into your alphabet and substitution string, like \r for example.
var alphabet:String = "\rabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var substitution:String = "\nmnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewqMNBVCXZLKJHGFDSAPOIUYTREWQ";
I'm not entirely sure if this will work, but it should.
Now you have already considerably shortened your code, but we can even shorten it further. Is the inner for loop really neccessary? Because our alphabet and our substitution are the same length, maybe we can simplify this even more.
function cipher(input:Textfield, output:Textfield, alphabet:String, substitution:String){
textinProgress = input.text;
var result:String = "";
for(var b=0;b<textinProgress.length;b++)
{
var index:int = alphabet.indexOf(textinProgress.charAt(b));
if(index >= 0){
result += substitution.charAt(index);
}else{
result += textinProgress.charAt(b);
}
}
output.text = result;
}
Putting it all together.
var alphabet:String = "\rabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var substitution:String = "\nmnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewqMNBVCXZLKJHGFDSAPOIUYTREWQ";
function cipher(input:Textfield, output:Textfield, alphabet:String, substitution:String){
textinProgress = input.text;
var result:String = "";
for(var b=0;b<textinProgress.length;b++)
{
var index:int = alphabet.indexOf(textinProgress.charAt(b));
if(index >= 0){
result += substitution.charAt(index);
}else{
result += textinProgress.charAt(b);
}
}
output.text = result;
}
function encode_btnclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
cipher(inputText, outputText, alphabet, substitution);
}
function decode_btnclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
cipher(inputText, outputText, substitution, alphabet);
}
function recode_btnclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
cipher(outputText, outputText, alphabet, substitution);
}
This should be able to handle
Text of any length
Line breaks
Upper- and Lowercase letters
Undefined characters
You should search for Substitution ciphers, e.g., one of the simplest ones is the Caesar cipher.

You may try using the following single pattern:
^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[!#$%&*]).{9,30}$
Your Angular JS code:
if (event.search(/^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[!#$%&*]).{9,30}$/) > -1) {
this.passValid = true;

I am trying to understand the filterPredicate of MatTableDataSource, and when I thought I was close, I am missing some logic.
I want to filter through a datasource and if the array's value is blank or "", then it shouldn't filter for every value that is defined as "". In other words, filter with what it does know and not what it doesn't know.
I tried to assign the values to null if the length of the array is equal to 0. But even that did not work.
Typescript
this.registeredUserService.GetAllAdverts().subscribe(val => {
this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<Card>(val);
this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
this.dataSource.filterPredicate = (myObject: IFilter, filterString: any) => {
let filterObj: IFilter = JSON.parse(filterString);
if (!filterObj.provinceName.includes(myObject.provinceName) ||
!filterObj.vehicleMake.includes(myObject.vehicleMake) ||
!filterObj.vehicleModel.includes(myObject.vehicleModel) ||
!filterObj.vehicleYear.includes(myObject.vehicleYear) ||
!filterObj.vehicleColor.includes(myObject.vehicleColor))
{
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
filter()//whenever triggered, it should do the filtering
{
this.myFilter.provinceName = this.search.value.provinceSelector;
this.myFilter.vehicleMake = this.search.value.makeSelector;
this.myFilter.vehicleModel = this.search.value.modelSelector;
this.myFilter.vehicleColor = this.search.value.colorSelector;
this.myFilter.vehicleYear = this.search.value.yearSelector;
if (this.myFilter.provinceName.length == 0 &&
this.myFilter.vehicleMake.length == 0 &&
this.myFilter.vehicleModel.length == 0 &&
this.myFilter.vehicleColor.length == 0 &&
this.myFilter.vehicleYear.length == 0) {
this.dataSource.filter = '';
}
else {
this.dataSource.filter = JSON.stringify(this.myFilter);
}
}
myFilter: IFilter = {
provinceName: [],
vehicleMake: [],
vehicleModel: [],
vehicleColor: [],
vehicleYear: []
}
interface IFilter{
provinceName:any[],
vehicleMake:any[],
vehicleModel:any[],
vehicleColor:any[],
vehicleYear:any[]
}
What it should do: Filter based on my query
What it does: Only does filtering as soon as all the values are filled.
You just have to check the filter attribute before if it exists and length is greater 0 and when then search for it in your object.
this.registeredUserService.GetAllAdverts().subscribe(val => {
this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<Card>(val);
this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
this.dataSource.filterPredicate = (myObject: IFilter, filterString: any) => {
let filterObj: IFilter = JSON.parse(filterString);
if (
(filterObj.provinceName && filterObj.provinceName.length > 0 && !filterObj.provinceName.includes(myObject.provinceName)) ||
(filterObj.vehicleMake && filterObj.vehicleMake.length > 0 && !filterObj.vehicleMake.includes(myObject.vehicleMake)) ||
(filterObj.vehicleModel && filterObj.vehicleModel.length > 0 && !filterObj.vehicleModel.includes(myObject.vehicleModel)) ||
(filterObj.vehicleYear && filterObj.vehicleYear.length > 0 && !filterObj.vehicleYear.includes(myObject.vehicleYear)) ||
(filterObj.vehicleColor && filterObj.vehicleColor.length > 0 && !filterObj.vehicleColor.includes(myObject.vehicleColor))

Take a look on my answer of this question and use the JSON class that I mentioned there, it's working fine with your test content :
import JSON;
var json = new JSON();
var data:String = '{"Test:": "Just a test"}';
trace(json.parse(data)['Test:']); // gives : Just a test
Hope that can help.
I am working on mvc project in razor.In this i am working on import and export module.
Now in my action i am returning JSON object.Now in both Http Get Request or Http Post request i am getting the same problem.Because the breakpoint is hitting twice,my record get added in database twice.
Below is my script
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (e) {
$(".update").live('click', function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var str = "";
$(this).parent('td').parent('tr').find('td.data').each(function () {
str = str + ";" + $(this).text().trim();
});
if (str.length > 0) {
str = str.substring(1, str.length);
}
var header = $("#hdn_header").val();
$.post('/ImportCSV/Update', {
ImportData: str,
ImportHeader: header
}, function (result) {
var CompName = result.CompanyName;
var CompPhone = result.CompanyPhone;
var CompEmail = result.CompanyEmail;
var CompWebsite = result.CompanyWebsite;
var CompAddress = result.CompanyAddress;
var CompZip = result.CompanyZip;
var CompCity = result.CompanyCity;
var CompCountry = result.CompanyCountry;
var CompNote = result.CompanyNote;
var ConFirstName = result.ConFirstName;
var ConLastName = result.ConLastName;
var ConTitle = result.ConTitle;
var ConPhone = result.ConPhone;
var ConEmail = result.ConEmail;
var ConNote = result.ConNote;
var ConMobile = result.ConMobile;
$(".update").each(function () {
if ($(this).attr('id') == id) {
var i = parseInt('1');
$(this).parent('td').parent('tr').find('td.data').each(function () {
if ($(this).text().trim() != CompName && $(this).index() == 2) {
{
$(this).css('backgroundColor', '#FFFFC0');
return;
}
}

return;
}
}

return;
}
}
if ($(this).text().trim() != CompAddress && $(this).index() == 6) {

{
$(this).css('backgroundColor', '#FFFFC0');
return;
}
}
});
}
});
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
The above is my whole script and again it is giving same error.pls check and let me know if i am doing wrong.
Thank you..
It is not very clear where exactly are you invoking this AJAX request but I suspect that it is inside the .click event of some anchor or a .submit button and you didn't cancel the default action of this button by returning false from the handler. So when the link is clicked you get a first request with the AJAX POST and immediately after the default action of the link is executed.
So for example if you were subscribing to the .submit event of some form try canceling the default action by returning false:
$(function() {
$('#someForm').submit(function() {
$.post('/ImportCSV/Update', { ImportData: str, ImportHeader: header }, function (result) {
var CompName = result.CompanyName;
});
return false; // <-- that's the important part
});
});
