JavaSript: Remove all non printable and all non ASCII characters from text 1

 στο JavaScript  επισημασμένο με ετικέτα ascii / characters / delete / javascript / printable / regex / replace / string Από

According to the ASCII character encoding, there are 95 printable characters in total.
Those characters are in the range [0x20 to 0x7E] ([32 to 126] in decimal) and they represent letters, digits, punctuation marks, and a few miscellaneous symbols.
Character 0x20 (or 32 in decimal) is the space character ' ' and
character 0x7E (or 126 in decimal) is the tilde character '~'.

Since all the printable characters of ASCII are conveniently in one continuous range, we used the following to filter all other characters out of our string in JavaScript.


printable_ASCII_only_string = input_string.replace(/[^ -~]+/g, "");

What the above code does is that it passes the input string through a regular expression which will match all characters out of the printable range and replace them with nothing (hence, delete them).
In case you do not like writing your regular expression with the space character to it, you can re-write the above regular expression using the hex values of the two characters as follows:


printable_ASCII_only_string = input_string.replace(/[^\x20-\x7E]+/g, "");

How to find lines that contain only lowercase characters

 στο Bash  επισημασμένο με ετικέτα grep / lower case / lowercase / regex / regular expression Από

To print all lines that contain only lower case characters, we used the following regular expression in grep:


egrep '^[[:lower:]]+$' <file>;
#If you do not have egrep, use
grep -e '^[[:lower:]]+$' <file>;

Breakdown of the above regular expression:

  • ^ instructs the regular expression parser that the pattern should always start with the beginning of the line
  • [[:lower:]] this special instruction informs us that only lower case characters can match it
  • + the plus sign causes the preceding token to be matched one or more times
  • $ signifies the end of the line

My .gitignore file is ignored by git and it does not work 10

 στο Programming  επισημασμένο με ετικέτα cached / git / gitignore / rm Από

Some times, even if you haven’t added some files to the repository, git seems to monitor them even after you add them to the .gitignore file.

This is a caching issue that can occur and to fix it, you need to clear your cache.

NOTE : Before proceeding with this solution, commit all changes you do not want to lose!

.. then execute the following commands from the root folder of your repository:
The following, will untrack every file that is in your .gitignore:


git rm -r --cached .;
git add .;
git commit -m "Untracked files issue resolved to fix .gitignore";

git-rm removes files from the index, or from the working tree and the index. git rm will not remove a file from just your working directory. (There is no option to remove a file only from the working tree and yet keep it in the index; use /bin/rm if you want to do that.) The files being removed have to be identical to the tip of the branch, and no updates to their contents can be staged in the index, though that default behavior can be overridden with the -f option. When --cached is given, the staged content has to match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk, allowing the file to be removed from just the index.

-r allows recursive removal when a leading directory name is given.

--cached unstages and removes paths only from the index. Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be left alone.

From: git-rm

To stop tracking a single file file but not delete it from your filesystem use the following:


git rm --cached <file>;

Another issue: file removed from .gitignore filters does not appear to be tracked

When you remove something from .gitignore file and the file does not appear to be tracked, you can add it manually as follows:


git add -f <file>;
git commit -m "Re-Adding ignored file by force";
