A question mark URL encodes as `%3F`. But you should use a proper encoder for the whole thing rather than manually encoding a character.

According to my experience of trying to make a JavaScript search engine that links to Google, just replace the question marks with ***%3F***.

A URL reads the first two characters on the right of a ***%*** as hexadecimal format.




Here&#39;s a [full list][1] of URL encoding characters.  If you&#39;re using PHP for a server-side language, you can use something like...

    $nice_url = urlencode(&quot;http://your.old.url&quot;);

Other languages will have similar functions build in (or you can find one online).  This will take care of your question mark (and other URL issues).

I am trying to create an application in visual studio that will be able to access a .dll file that already exists. I need the application to call up routines. I also have a header file that already exists.

I have been researching on the internet and have found that I need to create a .lib file. Looking at similar questions on here I found a link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/131313
I cannot however follow the directions.

The information in the link says to make a DEF file ( I read elsewhere that this needs to be compiled as a DLL with the same name, but not sure what that name is, the same name as the .dll file?). But I do not understand the first direction, to &#39;Use DUMPBIN /EXPORTS&#39;. I then need to &#39;stub out&#39; functions, and then something to do with .OBJ files (I do not know what these files are).

Are there any step-by-step directions, similar to the link above, that are easy to follow?

How to make a .lib file when have a .dll file and a header file

I&#39;m looking for a way that I can parse command line arguments into my WPF application with just a way of reading the value of the argument that the user passed.

As an example

    application.exe /setTime 5

is there a way for me to have some code where I can just say:

    MessageBox.Show(arg(&quot;setTime&quot;));

Which will output `5`

If I have a variable to pass through a URL and it has a question mark in it, do I just need to escape the question mark?

If not, how can I make sure it passes through like it&#39;s supposed to?

I am having a problem with removing linebreaks after the `&lt;h1&gt;` tag, as everytime it prints, it adds a line break straight after it, so something like `&lt;h1&gt;Hello World!&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Hello Again World!&lt;/h2&gt;` prints out like this:

    Hello World!

    Hello Again World!

I am unsure on what tags I need to change in CSS, but I expect it&#39;s something to do with the padding or margins

I also want to keep the vertical padding if at all possible.

Just wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to format the content of an element as currency using only CSS. It would be nice to have how the value is presented in CSS if possible, can&#39;t find anything though so I&#39;m not holding my breath :)

    &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
    &lt;html&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt;
            .dollars:before { content:&#39;$&#39;; }
        &lt;/style&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
        Pure CSS: &lt;span class=&quot;dollars&quot;&gt;25153.3&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;br /&gt;
        Ideal format: &lt;span&gt;$25,153.30&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

That example comes out as:

_Pure CSS: $25153.3_

_Ideal format: $25,153.30_

Also I&#39;m aware that it&#39;s fairly trivial using javascript - http://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascript/format-currency/.

My understanding is that `width: 100%` lets the element&#39;s width be the same as its parent&#39;s, whereas `width: inherit` does that only when the parent&#39;s width is explicitly specified. Is this understanding correct?

If so, it looks to me that when `width: inherit` works, then `width: 100%` would always work, so you could always use the latter. Then, what is the purpose of writing `width: inherit`? When does it become useful?

If my understanding is wrong, what is the difference between the two?

Similarly with `height`.

If I have a URL that, when submitted in a web browser, pops up a dialog box to save a zip file, how would I go about catching and downloading this zip file in Python?


Download Returned Zip file from URL

Is there a simple way to get the requested file or directory without the GET arguments? For example, if the URL is `http://example.com/directory/file.php?paramater=value` I would like to return just `http://example.com/directory/file.php`. I was surprised that there is not a simple index in `$_SERVER[]`. Did I miss one?

Request string without GET arguments

What&#39;s the recommended timestamp format for a REST GET API like this:

    http://api.example.com/start_date/{timestamp}

I think the actual date format should be ISO 8601 format, such as `YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ` for UTC time.

Should we use the ISO 8601 version without hyphens and colons, such as:

    http://api.example.com/start_date/YYYYMMDDThhmmssZ

or should we encode the ISO 8601 format, using for example base64 encoding?

Given a URL, I want to extract domain name(It should not include &#39;www&#39; part). Url can contain http/https. Here is the java code that I wrote. Though It seems to work fine, is there any better approach or are there some edge cases, that could fail.

    public static String getDomainName(String url) throws MalformedURLException{
        if(!url.startsWith(&quot;http&quot;) &amp;&amp; !url.startsWith(&quot;https&quot;)){
             url = &quot;http://&quot; + url;
        }        
        URL netUrl = new URL(url);
        String host = netUrl.getHost();
        if(host.startsWith(&quot;www&quot;)){
            host = host.substring(&quot;www&quot;.length()+1);
        }
        return host;
    }

Input: http://google.com/blah

Output: google.com

Within a bash script, what would be the simplest way to verify that a git URL points to a valid git repo and that the script has access to read from it?

Protocols that should be supported are `git@`, `https://`, and `git://`. Curl fails on the `git://` protocol.

    git@github.com:UserName/Example.git
    https://UserName@github.com/UserName/Example.git
    git://github.com/UserName/Example.git

Note: I&#39;m not asking to check to see if a URL is syntactically correct, I need to verify that a repo exists at the URL location entered from within a bash script.

Which is the correct use of global variables in Python 3?:

1) Stating `global VAR_NAME` once in the core script (not within a function) and then simply referring to the variable as `VAR_NAME` everywhere else

2) Stating `global VAR_NAME` once within every function that uses the global variable and then simply referring to the variable as `VAR_NAME` for the rest of the function and within the core script itself

Correct Use Of Global Variables In Python 3

For simplicity this is a stripped down version of what I want to do:

    def foo(a):
        # I want to print the value of the variable
        # the name of which is contained in a

I know how to do this in PHP:

    function foo($a) {
        echo $$a;
    }

    global $string = &quot;blah&quot;; // might not need to be global but that&#39;s irrelevant
    foo(&quot;string&quot;); // prints &quot;blah&quot;

Any way to do this?

EDIT: I keep getting upvotes here. Just for the record, I no longer think this is important. I haven&#39;t needed it since I posted it.

I would like to do following in Scala ...

    def save(srcPath: String, destPath: String) {
        if (!destPath.endsWith(&#39;/&#39;))
            destPath += &#39;/&#39;
        // do something
    }

... but I can&#39;t beacuse `destPath` is a val. Is there any way to declare `destPath` as var?

Note: there are similar questions but in all of them OP just wanted to modify array.

Please do not advise following:

&gt; Mutating the input parameters is often seen as bad style and makes it
&gt; harder to reason about code.

I think it&#39;s valid in imperative programming (Scala allows both, right?) and adding something like `tmpDestPath` would just add clutter.

EDIT: Don&#39;t misunderstand. I know that strings aren&#39;t mutable and I don&#39;t want a reference to reference because I don&#39;t want to modify data of caller. I just want to modify local reference to string that caller gave me with my string (eg. orig + &#39;/&#39;). I want to modify that value only in scope of current method. Look, this is perfectly valid in Java:

    void printPlusOne(int i) {
        i++;
        System.out.println(&quot;i is: &quot; + i);
        System.out.println(&quot;and now it&#39;s same: &quot; + i);
    }

I don&#39;t have to create new variable and i don&#39;t have to compute i+1 twice.

Scala - mutable (var) method parameter reference

So, we all should know that you can include variables into strings by doing:

    String string = &quot;A string &quot; + aVariable;

Is there a way to do it like:

    String string = &quot;A string {aVariable}&quot;;

*In other words:* Without having to close the quotation marks and adding plus signs. It&#39;s very unattractive.
