Hello,
I'm french and I have a small sorting problem with python (and zope's
zcatalog):
In a python shell python, try :
'é' > 'z'
The answer is true. Then if you try
test=['a','b','f','é' ,'z']
print test.sort()
You almost get :
['a','b','f','z' ,'é']
That's not what we want :-)
Any help will be greatly appriciated.
PS : I got the same behaviour with zope's zcatalog during a sort_on request.
Even if I start zope with the correct linux locale (fr_FR).
THX

Thank you very much Peter, that's a really great tip. You should try to
publish this one on the Internet 'cause I didn't find any web site
explaining this.
Bye.

Peter what about using this kind of tip with cmp() built-in ??
def myCompare(self, a,b):
cmp(a,b)
with a and b being french accented chars ???
Any idea ??
Thanks again.

From the documentation of the locale module:
"""
strxfrm(string)
Transforms a string to one that can be used for the built-in function cmp(),
and still returns locale-aware results. This function can be used when the
same string is compared repeatedly, e.g. when collating a sequence of
strings.

Peter
Note however that you need to transform both strings being compared...
e.g., with a french locale: 'd' < '\xe9'
True 'f' < '\xe9'
True 'd' < locale.strxfrm( '\xe9')
False 'f' < locale.strxfrm( '\xe9')
False locale.strxfrm( 'f') < locale.strxfrm( '\xe9')
False locale.strxfrm( 'd') < locale.strxfrm( '\xe9')
True

I didn't think this would be as difficult as it now seems to me.
I am reading in a csv file that documents a bunch of different info on
about 200 books, such as title, author, publisher, isbn, date and
several other bits of info too.
I can do a simple sort over the first field (title as it turns out),
and that is fine as far as it gets:

I want to use STL's sort algorithm to sort a string vector. Some of
the strings are fairly long (300 to 400 chars) and the vector isn't
small (5,000 to 10,000 elements). Naturally, sorting time is long.
All I need sorted are the first 10 characters in the strings.
Limiting the number of characters processed should speed things up
considerably. Is there a way to do 1t?
Thanks for any help ... Al

Hi,
I am new to C#, coming from Delphi. In Delphi, I am using a 3rd party
string handling library that includes some very useful string
functions, in particular I'm interested in BEFORE (return substring
before a pattern), AFTER (return substring after a pattern), and
BETWEEN (return substring between 2 patterns).
My questions are:
1. Can any tell me how I can implement such functionality in C#?
2. Is it possible to add/include function...

I have come across with what appears to be a significant performance bug in
..NET 2.0 ArrayList.Sort method when compared with Array.Sort on the same
data. Same data on the same CPU gets sorted a lot faster with both methods
using .NET 1.1, that's why I am pretty sure its a (rather serious) bug. Below
you can find C# test case that should allow you to reproduce this error, to
run it you will need to put 2 data files into current directory...
