Remove special HTML characters from string in PHP -


this question has answer here:

i found many results reason nothing works me! i've tried preg_replace regex , html_entity_decode, no good...

i want select words has hash mark prefix e.g. #word, works fine, hash mark read ‏#word , misses up.

example: this normal #hash_mark ‏#this_isn't

as appears: enter image description here

the regex use select words hash mark prefix '~(?<=\s|^)#[^\s#]++~um'

in question marked duplicate, answer doesn't work unicode text, seen in image:enter image description here

the code remove special characters including unicode text, what's required replace &rlm;# normal # 

function remove_special_char($sentence){         return preg_replace('/[^a-za-z0-9_ %\[\]\.\(\)%&-]/s','',$sentence);                   }  echo remove_special_char("hello مرحبا привет שלום");

output:

hello

there 2 different characters special_characters enter image description here

let happened i've made debug

        var_dump(ord('‏#')); //return ascii value of char         $str1 = 'this character 226 ‏#';          $str1v1 = preg_replace('/[^a-za-z0-9_ %\[\]\.\(\)%&-]/s', '', $str1);          var_dump(ord('#')); //return ascii value of second char         $str2 = "this character 35 #";          $str2v1 = preg_replace('/[^a-za-z0-9_ %\[\]\.\(\)%&-]/s', '', $str2);           var_dump($str1v1);         var_dump($str2v1);          var_dump($str1);         var_dump($str2);

output: 

int 226 int 35 string 'this character 226 ' (length=22) string 'this character 35 ' (length=21) string 'this character 226 â€#' (length=26) string 'this character 35 #' (length=22)

maybe or end user have done copy , paste somewhere , included converted charcode described (&rlm;#). since rendered same surface , make confused.

to escape characters, have used regex in following line

preg_replace('/[^a-za-z0-9_ %\[\]\.\(\)%&-]/s', '', $str1);

the regex has been taken php remove special character string

c++ - End of file on pipe magic during open -

i have c++ application in starting process(wireshark) following. if (fp == null){ fp = popen(processpath, "r"); //processpath process want start if (!fp){ throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start process"); } fprintf(fp, d_msg);//d_msg input want provide process } else if(fp != null){ fprintf(fp, d_msg); } the problem when execute c++ application, start wireshark error end of file on pipe magic during open what should avoid that? also tried using mkfifo create named pipe , execute it. used this: if (fp == null){ system("mkfifo /tmp/mine.pcap"); fp = popen("wireshark -k -i /tmp/mine.pcap", "r"); if (!fp){ dout << "cannot start wireshark"<<std::endl; throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start wireshark"); } input = fopen("/tmp/mine.pcap", "wb"); fprintf(input , d_msg); fclose(input)...

data.table making a copy of table in R -

i doing this: myfun <- function(inputvar_vec){ # inputvar_vec input vector # # result = output vector return(result) } dt[, result := lapply(.sd, myfun), = byvar, .sdcols = inputvar] i getting following warning: warning message: `in `[.data.table`(df1, , `:=`(prop, lapply(.sd, propeventinlastk)), : invalid .internal.selfref detected , fixed taking copy of whole table, := can add new column reference. @ earlier point, data.table has been copied r (or been created manually using structure() or similar). (and more stuff) .... ` my guess because stacking result vectors (after operation), copy being made? can suggest method remove warning? have done using apply functions , thought should extendable here too. my other question is: can pass chunk of rows data frame (subsetted using statement), , call function myfun operate on that? adding example requested # generate data n = 10000 default=na value = 1 df = data.table(id = sample(1:5000, n, replace=true), ...
