Thymeleaf text output [ - text

I use thymeleaf with template for TEXT to output some handcrafted text-files. Output should be
* smallText[description]
And I write in the thymeleaf template
* [(#{value}][[(#{value2}]]
But its not working and outputs (the "[" is missing)
* smallTextdescription
I also tried
* [(#{value}][ [(#{value2}] ]
But I do not want spaces behind the "[" Any ideas?

Have you tried using the following syntax th:text?
/*[# th:text="|*${value}[${value2}]|"]*/
In this case the output is:
*smallText[description]

When you are using TemplateMode.TEXT, you can use the following syntax:
[#element ... /]
This is the text-mode equivalent of the more familiar HTML-based syntax, such as:
<div th:text=""...></div>
So, you can now write something like this in your text file (the Thymeleaf template):
[# th:text="'* ' + ${value} + '[' + ${value2} + ']'" /]
This produces:
* smallText[description]
NOTE - in my case I don't have any #{...} message values to test with, so I'm just using ${...} variables in my test. But the same syntax applies to #{...} values.
See textual template modes for more details.

The only way I found was to replace [ with [([)] and ] with [(])].
* [(#{value})][([)][(#{value2})][(])]
Hoping for smarter and more elegant solutions out there.

May I know how to create / generate XML using elementtree

...
para1= ET.SubElement(root,'para')
anchortag=ET.SubElement(para1,'anchor')
anchortag.set()
para1.text= " sometexthere"
I tried with the above code snippet,but couldn't get the expected output.I don't want to create a new para tag that would take the text to newline.
result of above code :
<para> sometexthere<anchor> xyxyy</anchor></para>
Expected code
<para><anchor> xyxyy</anchor> sometexthere </para>
You have to make a couple of changes, and it should work:
First, change
anchortag.set()
to
anchortag.text='xyxy'
and then, given that you want sometexthere to be at the tail end of the element,
change
para1.text= " sometexthere"
to
para1.tail= "sometexthere"

Formatting string in Powershell but only first or specific occurrence of replacement token

I have a regular expression that I use several times in a script, where a single word gets changed but the rest of the expression remains the same. Normally I handle this by just creating a regular expression string with a format like the following example:
# Simple regex looking for exact string match
$regexTemplate = '^{0}$'
# Later on...
$someString = 'hello'
$someString -match ( $regexTemplate -f 'hello' ) # ==> True
However, I've written a more complex expression where I need to insert a variable into the expression template and... well regex syntax and string formatting syntax begin to clash:
$regexTemplate = '(?<=^\w{2}-){0}(?=-\d$)'
$awsRegion = 'us-east-1'
$subRegion = 'east'
$awsRegion -match ( $regexTemplate -f $subRegion ) # ==> Error
Which results in the following error:
InvalidOperation: Error formatting a string: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
I know what the issue is, it's seeing one of my expression quantifiers as a replacement token. Rather than opt for a string-interpolation approach or replace {0} myself, is there a way I can tell PowerShell/.NET to only replace the 0-indexed token? Or is there another way to achieve the desired output using format strings?
If a string template includes { and/or } characters, you need to double these so they do not interfere with the numbered placeholders.
Try
$regexTemplate = '(?<=^\w{{2}}-){0}(?=-\d$)'

Replacing a certain part of string with a pre-specified Value

I am fairly new to Puppet and Ruby. Most likely this question has been asked before but I am not able to find any relevant information.
In my puppet code I will have a string variable retrieved from the fact hostname.
$n="$facts['hostname'].ex-ample.com"
I am expecting to get the values like these
DEV-123456-02B.ex-ample.com,
SCC-123456-02A.ex-ample.com,
DEV-123456-03B.ex-ample.com,
SCC-999999-04A.ex-ample.com
I want to perform the following action. Change the string to lowercase and then replace the
-02, -03 or -04 to -01.
So my output would be like
dev-123456-01b.ex-ample.com,
scc-123456-01a.ex-ample.com,
dev-123456-01b.ex-ample.com,
scc-999999-01a.ex-ample.com
I figured I would need to use .downcase on $n to make everything lowercase. But I am not sure how to replace the digits. I was thinking of .gsub or split but not sure how. I would prefer to make this happen in a oneline code.
If you really want a one-liner, you could run this against each string:
str
.downcase
.split('-')
.map
.with_index { |substr, i| i == 2 ? substr.gsub(/0[0-9]/, '01') : substr }
.join('-')
Without knowing what format your input list is taking, I'm not sure how to advise on how to iterate through it, but maybe you have that covered already. Hope it helps.
Note that Puppet and Ruby are entirely different languages and the other answers are for Ruby and won't work in Puppet.
What you need is:
$h = downcase(regsubst($facts['hostname'], '..(.)$', '01\1'))
$n = "${h}.ex-ample.com"
notice($n)
Note:
The downcase and regsubst functions come from stdlib.
I do a regex search and replace using the regsubst function and replace ..(.)$ - 2 characters followed by another one that I capture at the end of the string and replace that with 01 and the captured string.
All of that is then downcased.
If the -01--04 part is always on the same string index you could use that to replace the content.
original = 'DEV-123456-02B.ex-ample.com'
# 11 -^
string = original.downcase # creates a new downcased string
string[11, 2] = '01' # replace from index 11, 2 characters
string #=> "dev-123456-01b.ex-ample.com"

VBA: Replacing characters like * or &

I'm using code below
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 2).EntireColumn.Replace what:="&^%", replacement:="LOL"
Data(in cell(2,2)): Sometext&^%, just for example
Expected: SometextLOL, just for example
Actual Result: LOL, Just for example
Even the excel "Find and Replace" behaves the same way.
Is it considering the "what" text as regular expression? If so how to overcome this.

Parsing formatted strings in Go

The Problem
I have slice of string values wherein each value is formatted based on a template. In my particular case, I am trying to parse Markdown URLs as shown below:
- [What did I just commit?](#what-did-i-just-commit)
- [I wrote the wrong thing in a commit message](#i-wrote-the-wrong-thing-in-a-commit-message)
- [I committed with the wrong name and email configured](#i-committed-with-the-wrong-name-and-email-configured)
- [I want to remove a file from the previous commit](#i-want-to-remove-a-file-from-the-previous-commit)
- [I want to delete or remove my last commit](#i-want-to-delete-or-remove-my-last-commit)
- [Delete/remove arbitrary commit](#deleteremove-arbitrary-commit)
- [I tried to push my amended commit to a remote, but I got an error message](#i-tried-to-push-my-amended-commit-to-a-remote-but-i-got-an-error-message)
- [I accidentally did a hard reset, and I want my changes back](#i-accidentally-did-a-hard-reset-and-i-want-my-changes-back)
What I want to do?
I am looking for ways to parse this into a value of type:
type Entity struct {
Statement string
URL string
}
What have I tried?
As you can see, all the items follow the pattern: - [{{ .Statement }}]({{ .URL }}). I tried using the fmt.Sscanf function to scan each string as:
var statement, url string
fmt.Sscanf(s, "[%s](%s)", &statement, &url)
This results in:
statement = "I"
url = ""
The issue is with the scanner storing space-separated values only. I do not understand why the URL field is not getting populated based on this rule.
How can I get the Markdown values as mentioned above?
EDIT: As suggested by Marc, I will add couple of clarification points:
This is a general purpose question on parsing strings based on a format. In my particular case, a Markdown parser might help me but my intention to learn how to handle such cases in general where a library might not exist.
I have read the official documentation before posting here.
Note: The following solution only works for "simple", non-escaped input markdown links. If this suits your needs, go ahead and use it. For full markdown-compatibility you should use a proper markdown parser such as gopkg.in/russross/blackfriday.v2.
You could use regexp to get the link text and the URL out of a markdown link.
So the general input text is in the form of:
[some text](somelink)
A regular expression that models this:
\[([^\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)
Where:
\[ is the literal [
([^\]]+) is for the "some text", it's everything except the closing square brackets
\] is the literal ]
\( is the literal (
([^)]+) is for the "somelink", it's everything except the closing brackets
\) is the literal )
Example:
r := regexp.MustCompile(`\[([^\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)`)
inputs := []string{
"[Some text](#some/link)",
"[What did I just commit?](#what-did-i-just-commit)",
"invalid",
}
for _, input := range inputs {
fmt.Println("Parsing:", input)
allSubmatches := r.FindAllStringSubmatch(input, -1)
if len(allSubmatches) == 0 {
fmt.Println(" No match!")
} else {
parts := allSubmatches[0]
fmt.Println(" Text:", parts[1])
fmt.Println(" URL: ", parts[2])
}
}
Output (try it on the Go Playground):
Parsing: [Some text](#some/link)
Text: Some text
URL: #some/link
Parsing: [What did I just commit?](#what-did-i-just-commit)
Text: What did I just commit?
URL: #what-did-i-just-commit
Parsing: invalid
No match!
You could create a simple lexer in pure-Go code for this use case. There's a great talk by Rob Pike from years ago that goes into the design of text/template which would be applicable. The implementation chains together a series of state functions into an overall state machine, and delivers the tokens out through a channel (via Goroutine) for later processing.
