Zero-width split() match creates empty trailing strings but not empty leading strings
The perlfunc documentation spells this out clearly, and it matches what I see: $ perl -e 'for (split(//, "fob", -1)) { print "$_\n"; }' | sed -e 's/^$/<blank>/' f o b <blank> The question on my mind is why. In particular, is it a decision worth replicating to language's libraries? Thanks for any pointers. I tried to find the source for split, and I think I may have found it in pp_split in pp.c. But there's not really any reason to expect the source code to include the justification, and I couldn't find one. http:/...

How to pad string with leading zeroes

Converting numeric value to string with leading zeroes
Hi, We have a smallint column on a table in which we store ISO country numeric codes. These values range in length from 1 to 3 (when stored as smallint). However we now have a requirement that we output them to a flat file they must be of length 3 with leading zeroes if required e.g. 76 must be '076'. Obviously I could just do a few IF statements with DATALENGTH and STR but I was wondering if someone has a nice tidy way if doing it.

Autocomplete dropping leading zeros from results string array
Hi all, I am using the autocomplete control to retrieve values from a DB. When i do a search on a string beginning with a 0 the 0 is dropped from the results shown on screen.

Cheers,P.S. I am using .net 2.0 with ajax extensions 1.0   Hi WhatStherush, It is a known issue, please add the return items like this, myList.Add("\""+dr.GetString(0)+"\"&quo...

GridView & FormView dropping leading zeros from numbers set as strings
I'm storing in a SQL database a certain field (an employee number) as a varchar data type. Throughout the app (datasource, update/insert stored procedures, etc.) I'm working with it as a string. I've even ensured that it's being used as a string "behind the scenes" by watching it in SQL Profiler. Problem is, the GridView & FormView that display it always drop any leading zeros. Wierder yet, when I put the GridView in Edit mode & add a zero, it saves to the database with the zero, but the leading zero doesn't display in the GridView! Anyone kn...
