How to Remove a certain part of a string (if exists)? - mql4

I am trying to make the EA look for a certain value in a string and if that value exists in the string then remove it.
I tried doing it using the StringReplace() but i noticed it only returns the number of replacements and didnt actually returned the updated string:
string v5="- .82523";
string temp2 = v5;
temp2= StringReplace(temp2," ","");
Print(v5,temp2);
in the above code there is a white space between "-" and ".82523" and i am trying to remove that white space.
so the string is - .82523 and i am trying to get -.82523 , which function can be used for this ?
initially i thought i could do it by using the StringReplace() function , but seems like it only returns the Number of replacements that had happened and not the updated string.
Thanks in Advance

You are using the StringReplace() function incorrectly. Try the following code (from your example).
string v5="- .82523";
string temp2 = v5;
StringReplace(temp2," ","");
Print("<",v5,"> <",temp2,">");

How to get rid of a "non-breaking space" inside a Swift string?

I retrieved some strings from AddressBook.framework's ABRecordCopyValue method by casting the returned value of takeRetainedValue() as a String object.
let unmanagedFirstNameProperty = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty)
if unmanagedFirstNameProperty != nil {
contactFirstName = unmanagedFirstNameProperty!.takeRetainedValue() as? String
}
let formattedName:String = contactFirstName.replaceOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
print(formattedName)
I want to get rid of the spaces inside this String object by calling replaceOccurrences(of:with:) method, but that doesn't work (the spaces are still there after I call this method) and I was told by the Apple Framework Reference that this is usually because of the string encoding, containing "non-break spaces" which I've heard a lot about, but I have no idea how to make a "non-break space" into a normal space. Is this even possible? If so, what would be the best approach to make the characters inside a String compatible with the replaceOccurrences(of:with:) method?
In your code, where you have contactFirstName.replaceOccurrences(of: " ", with: "") make sure that within the quotes, the space character should be typed in with the option key held down. If you type a space with the option key held down, you should get a non-breaking space.
Then you can replace it with a normal space, or an empty string if you wish.
Alternatively, as suggested in comments, the following may be more readable:
contactFirstName.replaceOccurrences(of: "\u{00A0}", with: "")
That way it doesn't look like a normal space in code.

Convert UTF string to Chinese Language from JSON response

I tried everything to convert JSON response to Chinese language but not getting any success. I need to display those string in uilabel.
This is the response I'm getting:
sentence = "\U00e6\U201a\U00a8\U00e5\U00a5\U00bd\U00e3\U20ac\U201a";
pinyin = "n\U00c3\U00adn h\U00c4\U0192o"
Converting sentence's string should be like 您好 but I'm getting 您好。
For pinyin I'm getting exactly right string [[nín hăo]] in label without converting but for sentence it gives me wrong value.
I'm using XCode 7.1 and my deployment target is 8.0.
Hi thanks all for helping and trying :) i ended up solving my own problem. What I did is directly put dict value to label text rather than passing from NSString. Taking it into string will give me value like 您好。
Here is what i've done.
cell.lblWord.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Word: %#",[[dic objectForKey:#"cat"]objectForKey:#"chart"]];
It's strange but true, tried before but wasn't working.

namevaluecollection removes "+" characters from querystring

I have the followigurl localhost.dev?q=dyYJDXWoTKjj9Za6Enzg4lB+NHJsrZQehfY1dqbU1fc= and extract the query string as follows:
NameValueCollection query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(actionContext.Request.RequestUri.Query);
string str1 = query[0];
If i call query.ToString() it shows the correct characters query string. However, when I access the value from the NameValueCollection 'query[0]' the "+" is replaced by a empty " " i.e. dyYJDXWoTKjj9Za6Enzg4lB NHJsrZQehfY1dqbU1fc=
I've tried specifing different encoding and using the Get method from the namevaluecollection. I've also tried spliting the string, but the "+" is being removed each time. Has anyone got any ideas? Many thanks
You can't use this chars in the url variables, you need use URLEncode and URLDecode of HttpUtility class to convert this into a valid url.
I hope this help you.

Line breaks are being lost when sending sms from mvc3

For some reasons the line breaks when send SMS from MVC, not working.
I am using code like,
Constants.cs
public struct SmsBody
{
public const string SMSPostResume=
"[ORG_NAME]"+
"[CONTACT_NUMBER]"+
"[ORG_NAME]"+
"[CONTACT_PERSON]"+
"[EMAIL]"+
"[MOBILE_NUMBER]";
}
Then I call these variables at controller like,
SmsHelper.Sendsms(
Constants.SmsSender.UserId,
Constants.SmsSender.Password,
Constants.SmsBody.SMSPostResume
.Replace("[NAME],",candidate.Name)
.Replace("[EMAIL],",candidate.Email) etc......
My Issue is when i get sms these all things are same line. no spacing.
MY OUTPUT
Dearxxxxyyy#gmail.com0000000000[QUALIFICATION][FUNCTION][DESIGNATION][PRESENT_SALARY][LOCATION][DOB][TOTAL_EXPERIENCE][GENDER] like that.
How to give space between these? Anyone know help me...
Putting the string parts on separate lines, and concatenating them is not a line break... The parts will end up exactly after one another. You should try putting a \n (line break escaped sequence) at each place you want a line break:
public const string SMSPostResume=
"[ORG_NAME]\n"+
"[CONTACT_NUMBER]\n"+
"[ORG_NAME]\n"+
"[CONTACT_PERSON]\n"+
"[EMAIL]\n"+
"[MOBILE_NUMBER]\n";
Also a note based on #finman's comment:
Depending on the service it might be \r\n instead of \n though
So you should look up int he API docs which one would work.
Also there is another error: you try to match string constants with a , at their ends, and the original ones don't have that...
SmsHelper.Sendsms(
Constants.SmsSender.UserId,
Constants.SmsSender.Password,
Constants.SmsBody.SMSPostResume
.Replace("[NAME],",candidate.Name) // <- this line!
.Replace("[EMAIL],",candidate.Email) // <- this line!
You should rewrite either the format string to include, or the replaces to exclude the ,:
SmsHelper.Sendsms(
Constants.SmsSender.UserId,
Constants.SmsSender.Password,
Constants.SmsBody.SMSPostResume
.Replace("[NAME]",candidate.Name) // <- no "," this time
.Replace("[EMAIL]",candidate.Email) // <- no "," this time
//...etc
public const string SMSPostResume=
"[ORG_NAME]"+
"\r[CONTACT_NUMBER]"+
"\r[ORG_NAME]"+
"\r[CONTACT_PERSON]"+
"\r[EMAIL]"+
"\r[MOBILE_NUMBER]";
Also, in
Replace("[NAME],",candidate.Name)
are you sure you want the comma after [NAME] ? If it's not in the string, don't try to replace it.

NSString to NSDictionary

I have a string (from HTTP Header) and want to split it into a dictionary.
foo = \"bar\",baz=\"fooz\", beta= \"gamma\"
I ca not guarantee that the string is the same every time. Maybe there are spaces, maybe not, sometimes the double quotes are escaped, sometimes not.
So I found the solution in PHP with regular expressions. Unfortunately I can't convert it to work on iOS.
preg_match_all('#('.$key.')=(?:([\'"])([^\2]+?)\2|([^\s,]+))#', $input, $hits, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($hits as $hit) {
$data[hit[1]] = $hit[3] ? $hit[3] : $hit[4];
}
Can anybody help me converting this to Objective-C?
I met a guy which is kinda RegEx guru. He explained the whole stuff and I got the following (working!!!!) solution in RegEx.
This gives me strings like foo="bar":
(?<=[,\\s])((realm|qop|nonce|opaque)=(?:([\"'])([^\2]+?)\2|([^\\s,]+)))
I then use another RegEx to split it by key and value to create a dictionary.
