Notepad/Notepad++ Column Formatting - alignment

I have to convert an .xlsx file to text such that it looks like the following:
0001 2-5-9
00002 2-6-9
003 2-7-9
But when I convert it to a .txt file I end up with the following:
0001 2-5-9
00002 2-6-9
0003 2-7-9
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've tried Notepad++ already, but I can't figure out how to fix it using that. I've tried code alignment but there's no consistent reference point in the data set such as = or , to align by.


You can use Excel for this too. Try Save As and search for e.g. Formatted Text (Space delimited) (*.prn). I don't know exactly because I have a German GUI. Save this file and open with Notepad++ for your needs.

How to convert a formatted string into plain text

User copy paste and send data in following format: "𝕛𝕠𝕧π•ͺ π••π•–π•“π•“π•šπ•–"
I need to convert it into plain txt (we can say ascii chars) like 'jovy debbie'
It comes in different font and format:
ex:
'π‘±π’†π’π’Šπ’„π’‚ π‘«π’–π’ˆπ’π’”'
'π™ΆπšŽπšŸπš’πšŽπš•πš’πš— π™½πš’πšŒπš˜πš•πšŽ π™»πšžπš–πš‹πšŠπš'
Any Help will be Appreciated, I already refer other stack overflow question but no luck :(

Those letters are from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block.
Since they have a fixed offset to their ASCII counterparts, you could use tr to map them, e.g.:
"𝕛𝕠𝕧π•ͺ π••π•–π•“π•“π•šπ•–".tr("𝕒-𝕫", "a-z")
#=> "jovy debbie"
The same approach can be used for the other styles, e.g.
"π‘±π’†π’π’Šπ’„π’‚ π‘«π’–π’ˆπ’π’”".tr("𝒂-𝒛𝑨-𝒁", "a-zA-Z")
#=> "Jenica Dugos"
This gives you full control over the character mapping.
Alternatively, you could try Unicode normalization. The NFKC / NFKD forms should remove most formatting and seem to work for your examples:
"𝕛𝕠𝕧π•ͺ π••π•–π•“π•“π•šπ•–".unicode_normalize(:nfkc)
#=> "jovy debbie"
"π‘±π’†π’π’Šπ’„π’‚ π‘«π’–π’ˆπ’π’”".unicode_normalize(:nfkc)
#=> "Jenica Dugos"

How to remove 0xa0 in Neo4j csv data?

I have tried
replace(row.field, '0xa0', '')
which didn't work, it still insert whatever presented in the .csv file.

\xa0 is actually non-breaking space in Latin1 (ISO 8859-1), also chr(160). You should replace it with a space.
replace(u'\xa0', u' ')
Let me know if it works and give me a sample csv file to trst it out.

Copy a table from iPython notebook into Word?

I want to copy a table from iPython notebook into a Word doc. I'm using Word for Mac 2011. The table is a standard pandas output and looks like this:
If I use Apple+C to copy the table, and then paste it into a Word doc, I get this:
Surely there must be an easier way?
Creating a table with the same number of rows/columns in Word and then trying to paste the cells there doesn't work either.
I guess I could screenshot the table, but I'd like to include the raw data in the document if possible.

The problem in this case (from the Word perspective) is not the table layout - it's the paragraph layout. Each paragraph has a substantial indent on right and left, and more space before/after than you would normally want.
I don't think any of the Paste options (e.g. Paste Special) in Word is going to help, unless you paste as unformatted text, then select the text, convert to a table, then proceed from there.
But, even a simple Word VBA macro such as this one will leave you with something a bit more manageable. (Select a table you copied in, then run the macro). A little bit more work on the code would probably allow you to get most of the formatting you want, most of the time.
Sub fixupSelectedTable()
With Selection.Tables(1).Range.ParagraphFormat
.LeftIndent = 0
.RightIndent = 0
.SpaceBefore = 0
.SpaceAfter = 0
.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
End With
End Sub
If you are more familiar with Applescript, the equivalent looks something like this:
-- you may need to fix up the application name
-- (I use this to ensure that the script uses the Open Word 2011 doc
-- and does not try to start Word for Mac 15 (2016))
tell application "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Word.app"
tell the paragraph format of the text object of table 1 of the text object of the selection
set paragraph format left indent to 0
set paragraph format right indent to 0
set space before to 0
set space after to 0
set line spacing rule to line space single
end tell
end tell

Corona extract each character from string

I'm beginner in game development using corona, can you please help me guys how to get every character in a word then add background image to it and make it clickable like in 4 Pics and 1 Word Game. Can you please suggest some ideas or tutorial link. Thanks. So far I don't have enough reputation to put image here but here is the Screenshot Link

Here are some pieces that may help you
1. Iterate over each character
local str="Something"
for i = 1, str:len() do
print(str:sub(i,i));
end
load image
local img = display.newImage("images/" . letter . "1.jpg");
if you need anything specific ask here

To iterate over each character, try also this:
local str="Something"
for c in str:gmatch(".") do
print(c)
end
(Actually, this iterates over each byte in the string, which may not be what you want if the string contains Unicode characters.)

What character encoding are the following German words using?

I'm trying to process a German word list and can't figure out what encoding the file is in. The 'file' unix command says the file is "Non-ISO extended-ASCII text". Most of the words are in ascii, but here are the exceptions:
ANDR\x82
ATTACH\x82
C\x82ZANNE
CH\x83TEAU
CONF\x82RENCIER
FABERG\x82
L\x82VI-STRAUSS
RH\x93NETAL
P\xF2ANGE
Any hints would be great. Thanks!
EDIT: To be clear, the hex codes above are C hex string literals so replace \xXX with the literal hex value XX.

It looks like CP437 or CP852, assuming the \x82 sequences encode single characters, and are not literally four characters. Well, at least everything else does, but the last line is a bit of a puzzle.
