i need help

Getting an academic degree on a discipline requires students to learn, if not all but at least an overview of, everything under that field. That is why I opted to get a graduate degree instead of taking certifications first. I am still new to the IT industry and I told myself, why not be a jack of all trades first and once I know my strength and interests, then I could be a master of one!

So, misery begins. I used to work in the field of networking. Taking a class in software development is basically harakiri. Having a specialized course in client-server computing is suicide! Well, I’ve had programming experience in my undergrad studies but graduate work requires more skills. I had to relearn old school programming languages and alienate myself from today’s languages in-demand. Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of tutorials online but still!!!

Last night, I got to chat with some of my classmates. Good thing, I am not alone. They are having difficulties as well. Even some professional programmers are struggling. I need help. They need help. We all need help!

Help! Anyone able to strip HTML tags and other entities (scripts, CSS, etc.) please don’t be shy to lend a hand. This is what I have come up so far in Java (just strips the HTML tags but not scripts and CSS):

string = string.replaceAll("\\<.*?\\>", "");

It basically just ignores anything inside <>. It is not a problem if you prefer to create a method/function as long as I can display valid texts of an HTML page. I am implementing this is Java, still can’t figure out how to do this in C but anyhow, I’ll stick with Java as long as it’s done.

The hard part of making a pseudo-proxy server has been dealt with.

Update:
So far i have managed to ignore HTML tags by:

string = string.replaceAll("\\<.*?\\>", "");
This basically replaces text between <> tags with nothing.What I do is I try to read an HTML line by line (using a loop), print the string implementing the code above.

I just taught myself Java and have limited knowledge about the "built-in" classes. I would appreciate if you could help me find a way to search for texts between \<-- and \--> which are basically texts for scripts. These texts may come in multiple lines so I think I need to create a loop to search for the is found.

I have read about class Pattern, but basically, don't know how to use it. I think using pattern matching would be the best thing to do here.

I think i can deal with CSS thingies once I'm able to solve the problem with . I'll just change the expression.

Appreciate any help on this.

Would I rather be with the person who loves me or with the person whom I love more?

not good

It’s September – as in September the start of the “ber” months. It’s the start of the Christmas season here. Christmastime – with all the snow thing and stuff (except that there’s no snow here!). Well, anyway, it’s supposed to be cold but it’s definitely not! It’s still hot! As in HOT!

The weather has not been cooperating with the clock since May and everything is so, so wrong!

You know what’s worse? I’ve got colds. Can you imagine having a drippy nose, in a hot weather with the headache? Damn!

I’ve got so many things to do – school deadlines already passed (again)! And I can’t concentrate because I’m so pissed… Really!

Weather, work politics, school, and this freakin’ colds!

F*ck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
