Have you tried this?

Your code raises an exception (AttributeError) for me. In general, notes will be a list of the lines in your source file - if the source file is empty, this should also raise an error as the list index will be out of range.

In general, your filename needs to be the path that your program needs to find the file. If they are in the same directory, something like 'file.txt' will be enough. If not, you will have to provide the full path, or it will result in a FileNotFoundError. Hope this clears up your questions.

If you really need to find the maximum-text (taking FontSize/Family/etc into account), that fits into a given available space, you can calculate it by creating a temporary new TextBox and adjust/measure it until the assigned text is short enough:

1. create a new TextBox and assign the text to it

   => You want to include leading and trailing " ' " and " ... " into the tested text

2. measure the size of the new TextBox, to know how much space it would need to display the text, with respect to FontFamily/FontSize/etc

   => To measure the size of a control, see: Measuring controls created at runtime in wpf

However, another way is to ask the control to calculate what size it wants to be. To do that, you call Measure, and pass it a suggested size. In this case, you want to pass an infinite size (meaning the control can be as large as it likes), since that's what Canvas is going to do in the layout pass:

lb.Measure(new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity)); Debug.WriteLine(lb.DesiredSize.Width);

The call to Measure doesn't actually change the control's Width, RenderSize, or ActualWidth. It just tells the Label to calculate what size it wants to be, and put that value in its DesiredSize (a property whose sole purpose is to hold the result of the last Measure call).

1. if it's bigger, than the available-space (eg columnSize), remove 1 char and measure again

   => To pass the column-width and the text into a converter, you can can use a MultiBinding: one Binding for the text and another one for the ColumnDefinition.

xaml

OK, so I took your first example and pasted it into JsonUtils.com (not my favorite site but I didn't want the c#-vb conversion step I'd have had to do with QuickType)

It generates this:

I've been using a templatetag solution I found on here a while ago, could've referenced it, but I'll just post the snippet:

1. Create a templatetag, if you dont know know how. Read here. It's quite easy and not that long a task.

2. Add the following code in your filters/tags file:

If you know you want to create name elements then use in the template with match="ingredients".

to create the wrapper element use e.g.

I believe your goal as follows.

• You want to retrieve the value 0 from 0 using IMPORTXML.
• The URL you want to use is https://www.facetofacegames.com/assassins-trophy-guilds-of-ravnica/.

In this case, I think that data-product-stock is the attribute which has no value. So how about the xpath of //span[@data-product-stock]? The formula is as follows.

Try using this Regex:

Yes, you should use a specific font (search for webfonts). You will find the relevant information on how to use it (also in this site). You may need to try several fonts, to find what it appeal to you, and which includes all glyphs you want. Browsers will download the font (usually just a range), either from your site or from usual places, and display it. So you have full control.

On the other hand, uniform appearance is often a bad thing. If most webpages will display FastForward button in a similar way (and natively) on my specific computer/OS/browser, probably I would expect it. I do not really care how it will look on other computers. But it is very good to have uniform appearance if you look the uniform appearance of all elements in a page (which also requires controls on fonts). Prefer this latter uniform appearance.

Note: Unicode is just about semantics of a character, not about appearance (glyphs), so to control appearance, you need to use a specific font (something relatively new, but well supported by all browsers) or to use images (old method).
