string - Excel conversion of US date (text) to european date (date) -

-

i pasting data webpage excel sheet. european excel cannot understand american dates.... paste text.

the difference between , european dates day , month in different order. how "us text date" real date "european" excel can understand? reading dates doesn't work, year(), month(), day() not work on native textstring. string conversion must done first.

the third column to show problem. result af month function called on text in column "a". taking day month , therefore throws error when reaching 13th of september.

text (from web)       eu date (real date)            month(a1) 9/8/10 10:03 pm          8. sep 2010                    8 9/9/10 10:03 pm          9. sep 2010                    9 9/10/10 10:03 pm         10. sep 2010                   10 9/11/10 10:03 pm         11. sep 2010                   11 9/12/10 9:40 pm          12. sep 2010                   12 9/13/10 9:40 pm          13. sep 2010                   error 9/14/10 9:40 pm          14. sep 2010                   error 9/15/10 9:28 pm          15. sep 2010                   error

if there no "conversion function" solution split m/d/yy 3 columns , create date that. if need splitting text day, month , year.

update answer.... lazarus came 1 works. first, split text in column year, month , day. combine them eg. using date function

  • year: mid(a2,find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)+1,find(" ",a2,1)-find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)-1)
  • month: mid(a2,1,find("/",a2,1)-1)
  • day: mid(a2,find("/",a2,1)+1,find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)-find("/",a2,1)-1)

assuming first date in cell a2, following convert european structure.

=date("2000"+mid(a2,find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)+1,  find(" ",a2,1)-find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)-1),  mid(a2,1,find("/",a2,1)-1),mid(a2,find("/",a2,1)+1,   find("/",a2,find("/",a2,1)+1)-find("/",a2,1)-1))

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

php - Replacing tags in braces, even nested tags, with regex -

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
