How do I find my string which is present with "-"[^]

Compare Solution 1, posted by CPallini over five hours ago:

Quote:
You could repeadtly apply the REPLACE[^] function to the C table in order to remove the unwanted special characters and then compare it with table A.

to Solution 2, posted by pradnyadurgale[^] three hours later:

Quote:
You can apply Replace function in sql to table c to remove unwanted character and then compare with Table A.
SQL Server REPLACE() Function[^]

To me, #2 reads like a copy of #1, with just a couple of tweaks to try to hide the fact that it's a copy. It's the same link, and the wording is remarkably similar.

Thoughts?

I noticed it earlier. The similarity between his solution and the former one is unsettling. It could also be that he simply answered without watching former answers first. Maybe a word to him about it would suffice at first, before setting up the meeting between his account and Mr Mayhem?

Griff confirmed (below) that one of his other answers was also plagiarised. His third answer smells like spam to me.

As a side note, it seems we need a 'Plagiarized' option on QA answers as well.

Check his other answers and it's pretty obvious:
How to rename a file[^] is from here: How To Rename A File In C#[^]
I suspect his third answer is as well, but it's so generic it's impossible to prove.

Thanks. Good to know I'm not being too paranoid yet. Smile | :)

The other answer smells more like spam to me, since it's just a link to a random tutorials site.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
