So, recently I was working on a programming challenge I made for myself and when I was playing around with strings and I managed to come across this.
"/|||||\\" in "//|||||\ "
This, for some reason, returned True and I have no idea why.
Thanks in advance!

I want to input the past couple of years of my high school soccer team's stat books into a spreadsheet so I can run my own analysis on it using Python in Google Colab or a Jupyter Notebook. The problem I have right now is that I don't know what the best way of aggregating it in Excel is. I have a record of basic stats such as lineups, shots, saves, goals, assists, etc. for each individual game (standard box score stuff you'd expect from a high school team who uses a JV player to keep stats). But what would be the best way to input all of this in a way that will make it easy for me to analyze? Obviously I can't make a separate Excel tab for each individual game (there are hundreds of games), and I don't think logging them all into the same tab would be the best thing to do either, but I don't what I should do in order to solve this problem. This seems like a simple problem, and I'm probably missing a really obvious solution, but if anyone could give me some advice, I'd be very grateful. Does anyone have any experience doing anything similar? Thanks for taking the time to help.
I haven't tried anything yet because I wanted to figure out a good method before I put a bunch of time into this.
So I am terrible with excel and my current job requires me to comb through a ton of data. Here's what I am trying to do... I have about 40 pages of data in an excel sheet - it contains about 200 different programs and what each is capable of doing. Then, I have a separate list of people's problems that our programs may be able to help solve. Both lists are written in paragraph format in a word doc, but I have moved it to excel.
I am trying to figure out a way to match just the name of the program to just the title of the problem, by searching/comparing the description of the problem with the description of our program. In the past, doing this manually has taken nearly 80 manhours and it just seems like a waste.
Is there even a way to do this?
How difficult would it be for an excel novice to do, seeing as it's on a standalone system - where I can't copy/paste here?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice. I tried to include examples.

The code for this question is already here:
Does writing to S3(aws-sdk nodeJS) conflict with listing objects in a bucket?
Please be sympathetic, I've been on this problem for days and I'm a complete rookie. I am trying to poll for a list of objects(haveFilesBeenWrittenToBucket method) and then read the file when there are objects (readFile method). If I place a breakpont on the callback(items) in the haveFilesBeenWrittenToBucket, everything works fine. If I don't, I always get 'number of items 0' written out to the console. It is not predictable exactly when the stuff will be written to S3, but it should be within a minute. There appears to be a race condition, and I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out here. I'm desperate for ideas. Thanks so much.
P.S. I was advised to make this a separate question to the one asked in the link.
In the end, I was barking up the wrong tree- my error had nothing to do with node.
I've been tracing my code and comparing notes between my own code and some sample code
I'm working from this sample code: http://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111116/bundle.html
My source example is here: http://www.nogumallowed.com/test5.php
My problem is the path lines. They work, they connect, but I love in the source how the lines have more seemingly random curves to them. I can'y figure out how to recreate that. Mine all flow incredibly well, but look rather plain in comparison.
Can anyone offer any insights? I've been coming back to this for a few days, and haven't figured it out yet. The documentation hasn't tipped me in the right direction yet either.
I'm just scratching the surface of "comfortable with D3", but there's still A LOT for me to learn on it before I give myself a D3 Jedi.
It doesn't look like your clustering code (if you have any) is working very well. The subjects should be clustered together into related groups, but it doesn't appear like yours are. For instance, your node "John Sly" is connected to almost very other node except the few on either side of it. It seems to me that those nine or so highly connected nodes should be distributed around the circle, not bunched next to each other.
I'd like to be able to drag and drop from a DataGrid in a Flash application into an Excel spreadsheet. Is this possible? If so, how do I implement this?
Edit: Nine days without so much as a comment is pushing me to believe one of the following things:
This question is so easy to answer that everyone who reads it thinks, "Ah, the next guy will get it. This taco isn't gonna eat itself."
No one knows what Microsoft Excel is.
I'm so inept at coding for Flash that everyone who reads this question promptly dies from a stroke brought on by uncontrollable, hysterical laughter. Kind of like what happens when a person is exposed to the Joker's laughing gas.
The entire internet has been suddenly and completely vacated creating a vast, digital wasteland (except for me, obviously).
Adobe's PR person in charge of their Twitter account recently posted something highly offensive and everyone has finally gotten organized and successfully boycotted something without inviting me to the party.
Anyone want to clue me in to which one is, in fact, the truth?
Or maybe just tell me that what I want is stupid/impossible/not worth the effort?
The simple answer is no, it is not possible. Have you ever coded AS4? I spent 6 months coding stupid loops that randomly draw colored lines. It was terrible. Get out while you still can. I was coding some tangents outside by my school when a couple of engineering grads started making trouble. I coded one bad batch and my professor said "You're moving with the retards to coding 101" I hopped on my segway and rode home. I then hung myself.
