I want to add a link using existing string in in my wiki page.
This string will be appended to a url to form a complete URL.
This string consists of many words, for example "Crisis Management in International Computing"
I want to split by empty space " " then construct this string: "Crisis+Management+in+International+Computing"
Here is the String variable I have in my wiki page:
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}
Note: I have to check first if the string consists of more than one word, as if the string is just one word like this "Crisis" I won't perform split function.
I searched the web and did not find clear semantic to us in order to perform this issue.
Anyone experienced such a matter?
If I understand correctly from the comments, you want to replace all occurrences of space in your string, and replace it with +. That can be done with string functions of the ParserFunctions extension.
If you are running a fairly recent version of MediaWiki (>1.18, check by going to Special:Version), the ParserFunctions extension is bundled with the software. You just need to enable it by adding the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php";
$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;
Then you will be able to write e.g.
{{#replace: {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} |<nowiki> </nowiki>|+}}
Note however that if all you really want is a url version of a page name, you can just use {{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}} instead of {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}.
I would recommend you to go for a custom parser function.
Or as a hack, try splitting the string using the arraymaptemplate parser functions coming as part of Semantic Forms.
URL : arraymaptemplate parser function.
You can use an intro template to create the link and use array template to split and add the words to the intro template.
I have not tried it with delimiter character as space, but from the documentation, seems, it should be working using the html encoding for space.

I am trying to use a *.resw file in my UWP app to store localized strings. I am loading these strings through ResourceLoader.GetString() and am placing them in a MessageDialog for presentation to the user, but no matter what I do the return value of GetString() is an empty (zero-length) string. I am following the SDK sample for localization, but am not getting the expected response.
The string I am trying to use is of the format InvalidAssemblyDialog.Message.
As it turns out this problem was due to my using dots in the keys for my strings in the *.resw file. Dots are reserved, and my usage of them was causing name-resolution errors. In the case of the example above, I changed it to InvalidAssemblyDialog_Message.
Here the documentation says "." characters should be replaced with "/" when resources are queried from code.
If a resource name is segmented (it contains "." characters), then replace dots with forward slash ("/") characters in the resource name. Property identifiers, for example, contain dots; so you'd need to do this substition in order to load one of those from code.
im trying to write small scraper script from google search, im write the program, bat have small problem i need regex for extract data-href value from google search, please help me :
exemple html code of google search :
data-href="www.buxmob.net/index.php?id=577">
data-href="www.webopedia.com/TERM/K/keyword.html">
data-href="moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/keyword-research">
need only the url present in this value, only this :
hxxp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/K/keyword.html
hxxp://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/keyword-research
hxxp://www.buxmob.net/index.php?id=577
thanks you
All the examples you gave can be matched with
(?:data-href=")(.*?)(?:">)
See demo at http://regex101.com/r/rB4nS1
That does NOT mean it's a good idea to try to parse (general) html with regex - but sometimes, when the response is well formed and well known, you get away with it.
Note that you mentioned you wanted hxxp:// in front of the string - that is not the job of the regular expression, but belongs with the language you use to implement the expression. The above is a "non greedy match starting after the string data-href=" and ending at the next ">
I am posting a form and one of the field values has a ":" and that is causing an issue
is there any correct way to be able to post this string;

You can use percent encoded version of colon "%3A"
Lots of libraries will have a method to process this, for example in ASP.NET if you do a UrlEncode that should get changed to a %3A, when you need to use it just do a UrlDecode on the string.

If you are not using any library that has this type of functionality then you can easily build your own little parsing function that will replace common characters with their HTML character code equivalent.
The data retrieved from database has & or '. How do I escape and show as & or ' without using gsub method?
If you can't stop the data from being inserted like that, then there is code here to create a function in MySQL that you can use in your query in order to return the decoded data.
Or from within Ruby, not using a replace strategy, take a look at how-do-i-encode-decode-html-entities-in-ruby.
First of all, an escape-sequence is found in string-analysis only, not in html or XML where you talk of masquerading. You can escape a string for reasons of concatenation for example. Html-Entities are specific entities which are replaced in urns to masquerade a special character. It is absolutely wrong to save strings still containing html-entities in a db-table. The masked string has to be demasked first, after you "reget" it from post :). Otherwise you try to save html-entities in a special table, eg. for programming reasons. A text-file should do better - try dBase 2 - or simply google the web for a page with an entity-listing.
The second point is that XML is - for the realization of better reading of your own code (in general), thought to be a personally defined markup-language. That is why any non-std-tags within that specification, have to be defined by your own. (It was strange to read about regular entities as "XML-entities", like in the case of "&apos(;)", explained on this entity-page: http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/unicode/htmlent.html)
Std-XML-tags (not entities) are mainly important in aspects of finalizing your html-code to better fit to ongoing programming languages later on, but in my opinion the mentioned ones are still html-entities!
This can and should be performed on the view level, ie, the front-end, since its an HTML entity.
assuming you use jquery, you can do this to make ' appear as ' on the HTML.
$('<div/>').html(''').text()
You can find respective entity values in the link above
I have a variable like say A= drug & medicare $12/$15.
I need to assign it to a text box, but only 'drug' is posted the server. The rest of the data gets truncated.
this.textbox.text= request.querystring["A"].tostring();
The following is not valid for a="foo&bar$12":
http://example.com?a=foo&bar$12
The & symbol is a reserved character, it seperates query string variables. You will need to percent encode a value before sending them to that page.
Also & is a reserved character in HTML/XML. I suggest reading up on percent encoding and html encoding.
I believe you have problems with HTML entities. You need to read up on HTML escaping in your tool of choice. & cannot stand in HTML, since it begins an entity sequence - it needs to be replaced with &. Without specifying at least which toolchain you're using (as per #Richard's comment), we can't really suggest the best way to do it.
EDIT: Now that I reread your question, it seems A is not a variable but a query parameter :) Reading comprehension fail. Anyway, in this case a similar problem exists: & is not a valid character for a query parameter, and it needs URL escaping. Again, how exactly to do it is in the documentation for your toolchain, but in essence & will need to be replaced by %26. Plus sign is also not permitted (or rather it has another meaning); others are tolerated (but there are nicer ways to write them).
That looks more or less like ASP.NET pseudocode, so I'm going to diagnose your problem as the query string needing to be URL encoded. Key/value pairs in the query string are separated by an ampersand (&), and ASP.NET (along with other web platforms) automatically parse out the key value pairs for you.
In this case, the ampersand terminates the value of the "A=..." key/value pair. The problem will be solved if you can URL encode the link that brings the user into your page. If actually using ASP.NET, you can use the HttpUtility.UrlEncode() method for that:
string myValue = Server.UrlEncode("drug & medicare $12/$15");
You'll end up with this querystring instead: A=drug%20%26%20medicare%20%2412%2F%2415
