To parse means to break down into smaller components (pieces) of the
whole.

Suppose you have a servlet that is passed a get request consisting of a
string that reads "name=joe&game= tennis&fame=non e". You would parse the
string to get name / value pairs("name = joe", "game = tennis", "fame =
none").

Parsing means identifying the special tokens from a given string and storing
them for use later.
For example, when a program is input into a compiler, the variables with
special meaning (tokens)
in the program are parsed .

Hi, This is a newbie's question. I want to preload 4 images and only when all 4 images has been loaded into browser's cache, I want to start a slideshow() function. If images are not completed loaded into cache, the slideshow doesn't look very nice. I am not sure how/when to call the slideshow() function to make sure it starts after the preload has been completed.

Can anyone help to understand why re-parsing occurs on a remote database (using database links), even though we are using a prepared statement on the local database: Scenario: ======== We have an schema (s1) on an Oracle 9i database with database links pointing to a schema (s2) on another Oracle 9i database.

I'm curious if there are others who have a better method of accepting/parsing phone numbers. I've used a couple of different techniques that are functional but I can't really say that I'm totally happy with either. 1. My first technique was to restrict the users to entries that could only be 3 character, 3 characters, 4 character (area code, prefix, suffix, respectively). I would null out any inputs that were non-numeric (except the...

I would like to parse a couple of tables within an individual player's SHTML page. For example, I would like to get the "Actual Pitching Statistics" and the "Translated Pitching Statistics" portions of Babe Ruth page (http://www.baseballprospectus.com/dt/ruthba01.shtml) and store that info in a CSV file. Also, I would like to do this for numerous players whose IDs I have stored in a text file (e.g.: cobbty01, ruthba01, speaktr01, etc.)....

Hello all - I have a problem with a php page. I have a setup with Apache 2.0, PHP 5 and Postgres 8.1 on Debian 4.0. My script uses simplexml to parse large xml files ( 8 files at 2-15 MB ea. ) and do inserts into the database. The problem is twofold. One, output on the parsing page seems to come in starts and fits. I have a message to the user that gets echoed each time parsing a file is finished; but these messages come all at once,

Many times a more user friendly date format is convenient than the pure date and time. For example for a date that is yesterday I would like to see "yesterday" instead of the date itself. And for a date that was 2 days ago I would like to see "2 days ago" but for something that was 4 days ago I would like to see the actual date. This is often seen in web applications, I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. I'm guessing this...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
