davidwhitney / TypeParsingExtensions
Created January 11, 2013 17:14
A simpler way to parse strings in C# Parsing strings in C# can be verbose and horrible. The last thing you want to do when solving some real problem, is end up with a load of code extracting values from strings and marshalling them between data types. It’s silly, so lets not do it! Instead, I offer you an extension method and some tests. Do with…
public class StringParsingNeedsToBeSimpler
{
public void HereAreSomeExamples()
{
//You know what sucks?
string value = "123";
int outt;
if(!int.TryParse(value, out outt))
{
outt = 12345; // my default!

ID3 tag kata
The MP3 file format, didn't provide any means for including metadata about the song. ID3 tags were invented to solve this problem.
You can tell if an MP3 file includes ID3 tags by examining the last 128 bytes of the file. If they begin with the characters TAG, you have found an ID3 tag. The format of the tag is as follows:
TAG song artist album year comment genre
The spec is here: http://id3.org/ID3v1
