I have a long string "AB100123485;AB10064279293-IP-1-KNPO;AB473898487-MM41". I have to extract integer value after "IP-" i.e 1 (only) what is the most efficient way ? I am using c#
Thanks
The 'most-efficient' way depends on how consistent your string is in terms of length and appearance. You can surely do this with a regular expression as a quick solution if you just want to get the digit directly following IP-.
You can utilize the RegularExpressions API, passing in your regular expression and input string.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.regularexpressions.regex.match?view=netframework-4.8#System_Text_RegularExpressions_Regex_Match_System_String_System_String_
This pattern should get you started IP-[0-9]; refine it more to your use case as needed.
For example:
Match matched = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match(
"AB100123485;AB10064279293-IP-1-KNPO;AB473898487-MM41",
"IP-[0-9]"
);

I have a parameter called Analyst group in this format :
[Dimension].[Analyst Group].&[Nl.Workplace.Foundation]
I want to pass this parameter to another report, to filter data. Its a multi value parameter. But the other report only accepts it in this format : [KanBan].[Analyst Group].&[Nl.Workplace.Foundation]
So im trying to isolate the "Nl.Workplace.Foundation", so i can do the following thing in the Go To Report parameter expression :="[KanBan].[Analyst Group].&["& --Isolated analyst group-- &"]" to create the desired format.
So what i need is to extract the part between .&[ and ]
But i really have no idea how to isolate that part of the string.
Found a solution! If i just use the Parameter.label instead of Parameter.value it automatically does what i want!
A different solution has been found, but I will still answer the initial question. It could help.
So what i need is to extract the part between .&[ and ]
You could use a regex.
This may not be the fastest way but it can handle most of the situations.
So let's assume you have a string containing:
[Dimension].[Analyst Group].&[Nl.Workplace.Foundation]
And you want to get the following string:
Nl.Workplace.Foundation
Just use the following expression:
=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match("[Dimension].[Analyst Group].&[Nl.Workplace.Foundation]", "\.&\[(?<NWF>[^]]+)\]").Groups("NWF").Value
In the expression, replace the input string with your dynamic values, like for example:
=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(Fields!Dimension.Value & "." & Fields!AnalystGroup.Value, "\.&\[(?<NWF>[^]]+)\]").Groups("NWF").Value
I'm keeping the formula as simple as possible so that you can easily adapt it, with, say, handling the case where an input string will not have a match (with the above query it will return #Error).
You could do this by adding an IIF() or better, use a custom function that you can reuse in several places and will reduce the length of your expression.
I am using levenshteinSim() to do the approximate string matching. I am facing a problem
here is what my data look like
string = "Mitchell"
stringvector = c("Ray Mitchell", "Mitchell Dough","Juila Mitch")
.
I want the algorithm to match only second part of the Stringvector, not the first half..How do i do it. I really appreciate your help. And how do I use weighing schema?
Thanks

I believe you will need to preprocess the data to just pull out the second part of the string and use the algo on that.
Other people seem to do some preproessing first. See here
I need to search for a substring in a string and return that if it is there in the string.
What is the best way to do that in Erlang? Note that i dont know the place that substring happens in the bigger string so i need to do a search for that.
You can use a regular expression:
> re:run("foobarbaz", "bar", [{capture, first, list}]).
{match,["bar"]}
See the documentation for re:run/3 for more information. In particular you may find that a different capture option suits your need.
Or if you don't need all the features of regular expressions, string:str/2 might be enough:
> string:str(" Hello Hello World World ", "Hello World").
8
This small function may help you. It returns true if the small string can be found in the big string, otherwise it returns false.
string_contains(Big, Small)->
string:str(Big, Small) > 0.
I'm getting a garbled JSON string from a HTTP request, so I'm looking for a temp solution to select the JSON string only.
The request.params() returns this:
[{"insured_initials":"Tt","insured_surname":"Test"}=, _=1329793147757,
callback=jQuery1707229194729661704_1329793018352
I would like everything from the start of the '{' to the end of the '}'.
I found lots of examples of doing similar things with other languages, but the purpose of this is not to only solve the problem, but also to learn Scala. Will someone please show me how to select that {....} part?
Regexps should do the trick:
"\\{.*\\}".r.findFirstIn("your json string here")
As Jens said, a regular expression usually suffices for this. However, the syntax is a bit different:
"""\{.*\}""".r
creates an object of scala.util.matching.Regex, which provides the typical query methods you may want to do on a regular expression.
In your case, you are simply interested in the first occurrence in a sequence, which is done via findFirstIn:
scala> """\{.*\}""".r.findFirstIn("""[{"insured_initials":"Tt","insured_surname":"Test"}=, _=1329793147757,callback=jQuery1707229194729661704_1329793018352""")
res1: Option[String] = Some({"insured_initials":"Tt","insured_surname":"Test"})
Note that it returns on Option type, which you can easily use in a match to find out if the regexp was found successfully or not.
Edit: A final point to watch out for is that the regular expressions normally do not match over linebreaks, so if your JSON is not fully contained in the first line, you may want to think about eliminating the linebreaks first.
I have a huge string. I need to extract a substring from that that huge string. The conditions are the string starts with either "TECHNICAL" or "JUSTIFY" or "ALIGN" and ends with a number( any number from 1 to 10) followed by period and then followed by space. so for example, I have
string x = "This is a test, again I am testing TECHNICAL: I need to extract this substring starting with testing. 8. This is test again and again and again and again.";
so I need this
TECHNICAL: I need to extract this substring starting with testing.
I was wondering if someone has elegant solution for that.
I was trying to use the regular expression, but I guess I could not figure out the right expresion.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try this: #"((?:TECHNICAL|JUSTIFY|ALIGN).*?)(?:[1-9]|10)\. "
