<p style="color: grey"> Tcl recipe 146037 by <a href="/recipes/users/117230/">andreas kupries</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). </p> <p>Code to convert a string of '0's and '1's to the corresponding hex number, and back. Note that we are _not_ talking about binary strings. Code by Jeff Hobbs, from his bag of utilities.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Tcl recipe 146221 by <a href="/recipes/users/117230/">andreas kupries</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). </p> <p>The command below checks if the specified creditcard number is syntactically valid. This code does __not__ check if there is actually creditcard with this number. Only that the number in itself is well-formed according to the rules of the creditcard companies. See the comments preceding the code for a list of the rules.</p>

Chances are that the correct data have a higher hit rate than the faulty one.</p> <p>Example output in the text widget (asking about a city in Italy, where post code and province were unsure): 'bellaria rn': 3580 hits 'bellaria fo': 609 hits 'bellaria 47814': 1130 hits 'bellaria 47014': 30 hits</p> <p>These results seem to indicate that 47814 Bellaria RN (Rimini) is the correct address ;-) On single words one might use this for spelling verification: 'suchenwirth': 280 hits 'suchenworth': 0 hits</p> <p>..or to check how strong an association between several words is: 'suchenwirth tcl': 57 hits 'suchenwirth java': 14 hits</p> <p>The numbers may change over time, but the tendency ("fuzzy truth") can at least be estimated.</p>

Nothing too fancy. I've included an example portfolio of three stocks, and a cash holding. To see your own portfolio, simply edit the 'shares' array, and the 'cash' variable</p>

It's [query] proc takes a list of words to search for, and returns a list of english/german pairs that matched the query.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Tcl recipe 116653 by <a href="/recipes/users/141324/">Joe Mistachkin</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>This routine allows you to split a string on multiple characters. Additionally, you can specify the maximum number of elements to return. The final element will contain the remainder of the string.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Tcl recipe 68386 by <a href="/recipes/users/98167/">Jeff Hobbs</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). </p> <p>The split command splits a string based on each character that is in the splitString. This version handles the splitString as a combined string, splitting the string into constituent parts.</p>

The following widget is the simplest answer I know that meets the common intent of these requests.</p>
