ampersand

The following code snippet on SQL server 2005 fails on the ampersand '&': select cast('<name>Spolsky & Atwood</name>' as xml) Does anyone know a workaround? Longer explanation, I need to update some data in an XML column, and I'm using a search & replace type hack by casting the XML value to a varchar, doing the replace and updating the XML column with this cast. select cast('<name>Spolsky & Atwood</name>' as xml) A literal ampersand inside an XML tag is not allowed by the XML standard, and such a document will fail to parse by any XML parser. An XMLSerializer() will output the ampersand HTML

I've been given an xml string which I need to put through a parser. Its currently complaining because of an illegal xml character. Very simplified example: <someXml>this & that</someXml> I know that the solution is to replace & with & , but I'm not generating the XML and therefore have no control over the values. A simple string replace is not the right way to to this since the '&' has special meaning in XML and a global replace of '&' with '&' would ruin the special meaning which was intended. Is there a solution to take a full xml document and 'fix' it so that '&' become '&', but only where

I'm developing a ribbon tab for use in a template ( MyTemplate.dotm ) for Word 2010. My problem: I want to have an ampersand symbol (&) in the label for a group. I have tried many things, and also alot of googling about this issue, but nothing works: (named) & (decimal) & (decimal) & (hex) & This is what I have tried, the xml saved in MyTemplate.dotm -file (with Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office ): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui"> <ribbon> <tabs> <tab id="tabMyTemplate" label="myTemplate"> <group

I am trying to make a request to the coinbase api like this $url = "https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/candles?start=".date($format,$starting_date)."&end=".date($format,$ending_date)."&granularity=".$granularity; and then I pass that in file_get_contents($url) but it gives me an error file_get_contents( https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/candles?start=2015-05-07&end=2015-05-08&granularity=900 ): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request. The problem of course is when the '&' gets changed into '&'. Ilgıt Yıldırım It seems you need define an user agent. Try this;

I have a large String in which I have & characters used available in following patterns - A&B A & B A& B A &B A&B A & B A& B A &B I want to replace all the occurrences of & character to & While replacing this, I also need to make sure that I do not mistakenly convert an & to &amp; . How do I do that in a performance savvy way? Do I use regular expression? If yes, please can you help me to pickup the right regular expression to do the above? I've tried following so far with no joy: data = data.replace(" & ", "&"); // doesn't replace all & data = data.replace("&", "&"); // replaces all &, so &

How to pick the correct error() member function? Do I need to cast somehow? using namespace std; struct test { int error(); void error(int x); int fun(); }; int main() { auto f1 = &test::error; // how to pick the correct function? auto f2 = &test::fun; // works } Do I need to cast somehow? Yes, you can use static_cast . static_cast may also be used to disambiguate function overloads by performing a function-to-pointer conversion to specific type, as in std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::toupper)); So you can: auto f1 = static_cast<int(test::*)()>(&test:
