For interaction with an API, I need to pass the course code in <string><space><number> format. For example, MCTE 2333, CCUB 3621, BTE 1021.
Yes, the text part can be 3 or 4 letters.
Most users enter the code without the space, eg: MCTE2333. But that causes error to the API. So how can I add a space between string and numbers so that it follows the correct format.
You can achieve the desired behaviour by using regular expressions:
void main() {
String a = "MCTE2333";
String aStr = a.replaceAll(RegExp(r'[^0-9]'), ''); //extract the number
String bStr = a.replaceAll(RegExp(r'[^A-Za-z]'), ''); //extract the character
print("$bStr $aStr"); //MCTE 2333
}
Note: This will produce the same result, regardless of how many whitespaces your user enters between the characters and numbers.
Try this.You have to give two texfields. One is for name i.e; MCTE and one is for numbers i.e; 1021. (for this textfield you have to change keyboard type only number).
After that you can join those string with space between them and send to your DB.
It's just like hack but it will work.
Scrolling down the course codes list, I noticed some unusual formatting.
Example: TQB 1001E, TQB 1001E etc. (With extra letter at the end)
So, this special format doesn't work with #Jahidul Islam's answer. However, inspired by his answer, I manage to come up with this logic:
var code = "TQB2001M";
var i = course.indexOf(RegExp(r'[^A-Za-z]')); // get the index
var j = course.substring(0, i); // extract the first half
var k = course.substring(i).trim(); // extract the others
var formatted = '$j $k'.toUpperCase(); // combine & capitalize
print(formatted); // TQB 1011M
Works with other formats too. Check out the DartPad here.
Here is the entire logic you need (also works for multiple whitespaces!):
void main() {
String courseCode= "MMM 111";
String parsedCourseCode = "";
if (courseCode.contains(" ")) {
final ensureSingleWhitespace = RegExp(r"(?! )\s+| \s+");
parsedCourseCode = courseCode.split(ensureSingleWhitespace).join(" ");
} else {
final r1 = RegExp(r'[0-9]', caseSensitive: false);
final r2 = RegExp(r'[a-z]', caseSensitive: false);
final letters = courseCode.split(r1);
final numbers = courseCode.split(r2);
parsedCourseCode = "${letters[0].trim()} ${numbers.last}";
}
print(parsedCourseCode);
}
Play around with the input value (courseCode) to test it - also use dart pad if you want. You just have to add this logic to your input value, before submitting / handling the input form of your user :)
So this is my code
_image1 = File(pickedImage.path);
List<int> imageBytes = _image1.readAsBytesSync();
String base64Image = base64.encode(imageBytes);
_shcpImg = base64Image;
But when I print the string _shcpImg, it just prints a part of the string, because when I copy and paste that base64 into an online converter, it only shows a really tiny piece of the image. So the thing is that the string is not showing completely or somehow the base64 encoder is not working well.
Any suggestions?
From the comments, since you are using VsCode and you can't print the full string (long string)
You can use log from dart: developer,
if the string is REALLY LONG, There is a workaround to fix this, the idea is to divide your long string into small pieces (in the example, 800 length for each piece) using RegExp and then iterate into the result and print each piece.
void printWrapped(String text) {
final pattern = new RegExp('.{1,800}'); // 800 is the size of each chunk
pattern.allMatches(text).forEach((match) => print(match.group(0)));
}
Using the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE of the Spotify-API I am getting the error that my code_verifier is incorrect, which has to be an encoding problem from what I know by now.
{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"code_verifier was incorrect"}
This is the original code I wrote:
String getAuthUrl() {
code = getRandomString(128);
// saveToPrefs("verfifier_code", code);
var hash = sha256.convert(ascii.encode(code));
String code_challenge = base64Url.encode(hash.bytes);
return Uri.parse(
"https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=${widget.client_id}&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fauth&scope=user-top-read&code_challenge=$code_challenge&code_challenge_method=S256")
.toString();
}
This is how I understand the Spotify-Authorisation-Guide (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/).
After finding this post (https://stackoverflow.com/a/63174909/14266484) I tried porting the fix to Dart but failed. As far as I understand it the code hashes the in ascii encoded code_verifier and then uses btoa() to convert it into ascii again. This function also seems to do base64 (but not base64Url, maybe this is why certain parts have to be replaced manually?).
String getAuthUrl() {
// also tried static verifier_codes for debugging, so the getRandomString() function is working properly
code = getRandomString(128);
// saveToPrefs("verfifier_code", code);
var hash = sha256.convert(ascii.encode(code));
// this does not work with either base64 or base64Url
String code_challenge = base64.encode(hash.bytes).replaceAll(RegExp(r"/\+/g"), '-').replaceAll(RegExp(r"/\//g"), '_').replaceAll(RegExp(r"/=+$/"), '');
return Uri.parse(
"https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=${widget.client_id}&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fauth&scope=user-top-read&code_challenge=$code_challenge&code_challenge_method=S256")
.toString();
}
I also tried different ways of encoding:
-Using String.codeUnits (But this is using UTF-16)
-Getting a String for the sha256-function aswell the base64(-Url)-function with String.fromCharCodes() (which should be using ASCII?)
-Switching between ASCII and UTF-8 (Which should not make a difference in that case as my verifier_code is made up of ASCII-Characters only)
EDIT:
To make the requests I use:
var res = await http.post(endpoint, body: {"client_id":widget.client_id, "grant_type":"authorization_code", "code":value, "redirect_uri":"http://localhost/auth", "code_verifier":code});
After some more research I found out that the important thing that is happening is that the "=" at the end of the challenge has to be removed (Shouldn't base64Url do that?). Anyways, that is the working code:
EDITED CODE:
String getAuthUrl() {
code = getRandomString(128);
var hash = sha256.convert(ascii.encode(code));
String code_challenge = base64Url.encode(hash.bytes).replaceAll("=", "").replaceAll("+", "-").replaceAll("/", "_");
return Uri.parse(
"https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=${widget.client_id}&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fauth&scope=user-top-read&code_challenge=$code_challenge&code_challenge_method=S256")
.toString();
}
EDIT:
Further "+" has to be replaced with "-" and "/" with "_"!
I am parsing a local JSON file that has words containing rarely used special characters in Icelandic.
When displaying the characters I get mixed up symbols but not the characters, for some others I just get a square instead of a symbol.
I am using this type of encoding "\u00c3"
Update: Example of the characters I am using: þ, æ, ý, ð
Q: What is the best way to display those kind of characters and avoid any chance of display failures?
Update #2:
How I am parsing:
Future<Null> getAll() async{
var response = await
DefaultAssetBundle.of(context).loadString('assets/json/dictionary.json');
var decodedData = json.decode(response);
setState(() {
for(Map word in decodedData){
mWordsList.add(Words.fromJson(word));
}
});
}
The class:
class Words{
final int id;
final String wordEn, wordIsl;
Words({this.id, this.wordEn, this.wordIsl});
factory Words.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json){
return new Words(
id: json['wordId'],
wordEn: json['englishWord'],
wordIsl: json['icelandicWord']
);
}
}
JSON Model:
{
"wordId": 47,
"englishWord": "Age",
//Here's a String that has two special characters
"icelandicWord": "\u00c3\u00a6vi"
}
I had similar issues with accented characters. They were not displayed as expected.
This worked for me
final codeUnits = source.codeUnits;
return Utf8Decoder().convert(codeUnits);
The problem is that your JSON is stored locally.
Let's say you have
Map<String, String> jsonObject = {"info": "Æ æ æ Ö ö ö"};
So to show your text correctly you have to encode and decode back your JSON with utf-8.
I understand that's serialization and deserialization are costly operations, but's it's a workaround for locally stored JSON objects that contains UTF-8 texts.
import 'dart:convert';
jsonDecode(jsonEncode(jsonObject))["info"]
If you get that JSON from server, then it's much more simpler, for example in dio package you can chose contentType params that's is "application/json; charset=utf-8" by default.
I have an app that is storing images in a Windows Azure Block Blob. I'm adding meta data to each blob that gets uploaded. The metadata may include some special characters. For instance, the registered trademark symbol (®). How do I add this value to meta data in Windows Azure?
Currently, when I try, I get a 400 (Bad Request) error anytime I try to upload a file that uses a special character like this.
Thank you!
You might use HttpUtility to encode/decode the string:
blob.Metadata["Description"] = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(model.Description);
Description = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(blob.Metadata["Description"]);
http://lvbernal.blogspot.com/2013/02/metadatos-de-azure-vs-caracteres.html
The supported characters in the blob metadata must be ASCII characters. To work around this you can either escape the string ( percent encode), base64 encode etc.

HttpUtility.HtmlEncode may not work; if Unicode characters are in your string (i.e. ’), it will fail. So far, I have found Uri.EscapeDataString does handle this edge case and others. However, there are a number of characters that get encoded unnecessarily, such as space (' '=chr(32)=%20).
I mapped the illegal ascii characters metadata will not accept and built this to restore the characters:
static List<string> illegals = new List<string> { "%1", "%2", "%3", "%4", "%5", "%6", "%7", "%8", "%A", "%B", "%C", "%D", "%E", "%F", "%10", "%11", "%12", "%13", "%14", "%15", "%16", "%17", "%18", "%19", "%1A", "%1B", "%1C", "%1D", "%1E", "%1F", "%7F", "%80", "%81", "%82", "%83", "%84", "%85", "%86", "%87", "%88", "%89", "%8A", "%8B", "%8C", "%8D", "%8E", "%8F", "%90", "%91", "%92", "%93", "%94", "%95", "%96", "%97", "%98", "%99", "%9A", "%9B", "%9C", "%9D", "%9E", "%9F", "%A0", "%A1", "%A2", "%A3", "%A4", "%A5", "%A6", "%A7", "%A8", "%A9", "%AA", "%AB", "%AC", "%AD", "%AE", "%AF", "%B0", "%B1", "%B2", "%B3", "%B4", "%B5", "%B6", "%B7", "%B8", "%B9", "%BA", "%BB", "%BC", "%BD", "%BE", "%BF", "%C0", "%C1", "%C2", "%C3", "%C4", "%C5", "%C6", "%C7", "%C8", "%C9", "%CA", "%CB", "%CC", "%CD", "%CE", "%CF", "%D0", "%D1", "%D2", "%D3", "%D4", "%D5", "%D6", "%D7", "%D8", "%D9", "%DA", "%DB", "%DC", "%DD", "%DE", "%DF", "%E0", "%E1", "%E2", "%E3", "%E4", "%E5", "%E6", "%E7", "%E8", "%E9", "%EA", "%EB", "%EC", "%ED", "%EE", "%EF", "%F0", "%F1", "%F2", "%F3", "%F4", "%F5", "%F6", "%F7", "%F8", "%F9", "%FA", "%FB", "%FC", "%FD", "%FE" };
private static string MetaDataEscape(string value)
{
//CDC%20Guideline%20for%20Prescribing%20Opioids%20Module%206%3A%20%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fdrugoverdose%2Ftraining%2Fdosing%2F
var x = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(value);
var sz = value.Trim();
sz = Uri.EscapeDataString(sz);
for (int i = 1; i < 255; i++)
{
var hex = "%" + i.ToString("X");
if (!illegals.Contains(hex))
{
sz = sz.Replace(hex, Uri.UnescapeDataString(hex));
}
}
return sz;
}
The result is:
Before ==> "1080x1080 Facebook Images"
Uri.EscapeDataString =>
"1080x1080%20Facebook%20Images"
After => "1080x1080 Facebook
Images"
I am sure there is a more efficient way, but the hit seems negligible for my needs.
