tsql - Converting varchar to XML and parsing the XML failing -


i trying design query search though audit logs in emr database. problem audit information stored in varchar column text description of happened (which don't care about) , other times contains valid xml (i know design flaw can't change because didn't create emr)

i created table valued function parses xml , returns data select statement fails execute because xml conversion in function fails. can't try/catch on conversion in function , can's call stored procedure function conversion try/catch either i'm not sure go this.

select top 1 * audit with(nolock) outer apply dbo.cus_getdeletedattachmentinfo(audit.audituid) detail

error xml parsing: line 1, character 136, illegal xml character

you have illegal character in markup need have catch potentially when trying convert xml. did this:

declare @text varchar(max);  select @text = '<root><stuff>&</stuff></root>'   begin try     select cast(@text xml) end try begin catch     select error_message()      select 'let''s account ampersand manually converting'      select cast(replace(@text, '&', '&amp;') xml) end catch

you need account things ampersands , other characters not marked otherwise default behavior of cast or convert in sql server fail , state why there failure. xml needs markup special characters. there lists markup here (have not tried of these example):

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

javascript - Clean way to programmatically use CSS transitions from JS? -

as title implies, there proper way set initial css properties (or class) , tell browser transition these value? for example ( fiddle ): var el = document.queryselector('div'), st = el.style; st.opacity = 0; st.transition = 'opacity 2s'; st.opacity = 1; this not animate opacity of element in chrome 29/firefox 23. because ( source ): [...] you’ll find if apply both sets of properties, 1 after other, browser tries optimize property changes, ignoring initial properties , preventing transition. behind scenes, browsers batch property changes before painting which, while speeding rendering, can have adverse affects. the solution force redraw between applying 2 sets of properties. simple method of doing accessing dom element’s offsetheight property [...] in fact, hack work in current chrome/firefox versions. updated code ( fiddle - click run after opening fiddle run animation again): var el = document.queryselector('div'...
