Finding a good calculator for you mobile device is not an easy task, after looking for quite a while I found this scientific calculator which I believe to be the best calculator for Android.
Strip/Remove IRC client control characters
Here’s a small PHP function that gets rid of the mIRC (or any other IRC client) control characters, that is the colors, underlines, italics, etc.
function stripControlCharacters($text) { $controlCodes = array( '/(\x03(?:\d{1,2}(?:,\d{1,2})?)?)/', // Color code '/\x02/', // Bold '/\x0F/', // Escaped '/\x16/', // Italic '/\x1F/' // Underline ); return preg_replace($controlCodes,'',$text); }
PHP – Collapse multiple line drops to a single line drop
If you need to clean up some input by removing multiple new line drops and replace it with a single new line drop, for example, making this piece of text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam ac elit at elit viverra mollis. Cras tincidunt leo eleifend purus fermentum.
Look like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam ac elit at elit viverra mollis. Cras tincidunt leo eleifend purus fermentum.
The following PHP function will remove the consecutive new line characters.
function collapseNewLines($str) { return preg_replace('/((\r?)\n)+/', "\n", $str); }
Windows/DOS new line is represented by the two characters \r\n and UNIX like systems use only the single char \n . The function handle both cases.
