New & Improved Definition Last year I wrote a version of this function which was to mimic the Python expandtabs function. The funny thing is I didn’t remember that I wrote the function in the first place. Therefore while working on a project, I wrote the following function which is Read more…
It has been a while since I wrote a JavaScript utility function so a few minutes ago, I had the idea to create a function which will allow you to set the default value of a parameter for any given function. After writing the following function, I thought about the Read more…

Yesterday, I was asked if a function exists in PostgreSQL that will accept the year and the week number and will return a day in that week. Unfortunately, I was not able to find one, but perhaps one natively exists (HINT: let me know if one exists by commenting ;)). Read more…
There have been many times when I needed to simply modify the flags (options) for a regular expression in JavaScript. Unfortunately, the global, ignoreCase, multiline, and sticky (for FireFox) flags are immutable. In addition, when creating a new regular expression from an old one, you can’t supply a regular expression Read more…
Mission & Code Sometimes you just need a way of determining the absolute path from a specified relative path. When you are in this situation, you may use the following code: Parameters relativePath:The relative (as a string) that you would like to retrieve the corresponding absolute path for. Example To Read more…
This is a pretty funny and yet kinda good rap song about Java (the programming language of course 🙂 ):
I was writing two HTAs (HTML Applications) today and for the first one, I needed to create a VBArray with the number five in it. Fortunately, I remembered that I wrote a page about this prior to my blog. Therefore, here is the snippet which I plan on including in Read more…
Yesterday, I posted about creating String.prototype.indexOfIter() which basically returned a function which would act as an iterator function, indicating the indices of the specified substring. What I neglected to include was how to write this solution using JavaScript 1.7 in FireFox. Today, I bring to you the equivalent using a Read more…
One of the cool things about JavaScript 1.7 is the fact that it supports generator functions. Unfortunately, not all browsers support generator functions yet. Therefore, when creating iterators we can look to an interesting alternative: closures. For example, if our goal was to make a String prototype function which would Read more…
