Code about replacing certain words in discord.js - node.js
I was trying to make the bot replace multiple words in one sentence with another word.
ex: User will say "Today is a great day"
and the bot shall answer "Today is a bad night"
the words "great" and "day" were replaced by the words "bad" and "night" in this example.
I've been searching in order to find a similar code, but unfortunately all I could find is "word-blacklisting" scripts.
//I tried to do some coding with it but I am not an expert with node.js the code is written really badly. It's not even worth showing really.
The user will say some sentence and the bot will recognize some predetermined words on the sentence and will replace those words with other words I'll decide in the script
We can use String.replace() combined with Regular Expressions to match and replace single words of your choosing.
Consider this example:
function antonyms(string) {
return string
.replace(/(?<![A-Z])terrible(?![A-Z])/gi, 'great')
.replace(/(?<![A-Z])today(?![A-Z])/gi, 'tonight')
.replace(/(?<![A-Z])day(?![A-Z])/gi, 'night');
}
const original = 'Today is a tErRiBlE day.';
console.log(original);
const altered = antonyms(original);
console.log(altered);
const testStr = 'Daylight is approaching.'; // Note that this contains 'day' *within* a word.
const testRes = antonyms(testStr); // The lookarounds in the regex prevent replacement.
console.log(testRes); // If this isn't the desired behavior, you can remove them.

Find and replace text and wrap in "href"
I am trying to find specific word in a div (id="Test") that starts with "a04" (no case). I can find and replace the words found. But I am unable to correctly use the word found in a "href" link.
I am trying the following working code that correctly identifies my search criteria. My current code is working as expected but I would like help as i do not know how to used the found work as the url id?
var test = document.getElementById("test").innerHTML
function replacetxt(){
var str_rep = document.getElementById("test").innerHTML.replace(/a04(\w)+/g,'TEST');
var temp = str_rep;
//alert(temp);
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = temp;
}
I would like to wrap the found word in an href but i do not know how to use the found word as the url id (url.com?id=found word).
Can someone help point out how to reference the found work please?
Thanks
If you want to use your pattern with the capturing group, you could move the quantifier + inside the group or else you would only get the value of the last iteration.
\ba04(\w+)
\b word boundary to prevent the match being part of a longer word
a04 Match literally
(\w+) Capture group 1, match 1+ times a word character
Regex demo
Then you could use the first capturing group in the replacement by referring to it with $1
If the string is a04word, you would capture word in group 1.
Your code might look like:
function replacetxt(){
var elm = document.getElementById("test");
if (elm) {
elm.innerHTML = elm.innerHTML.replace(/\ba04(\w+)/g,'TEST');
}
}
replacetxt();
<div id="test">This is text a04word more text here</div>
Note that you don't have to create extra variables like var temp = str_rep;
how to remove duplicate words in a string in matlab
consider I have this string
a='flexray_datain_flexray_sensors'
and I want to process this string to get
a='flexray_datain_sensors'
And the thing is this can be for any repeated words and not just flexray in matlab. If I already know what the word is then it's easy
I tried:
parts = textscan(bypname , '%s', 'delimiter', '_');
parts = parts{:};
and then processing this cell(parts) using unique or something and removing the repeated words. But I need a better answer .
Does this work for you? strjoin(unique(strsplit(a,'_'),'stable'),'_')
search and replace multiple words in AS3
I've got this code in my AS3 :
var str:String = mySharedObject.data.theDate;
var search:String = "monday";
var replace:String = "";
function strReplace(str:String, search:String, replace:String):String {
return str.split(search).join(replace);
}
Is it possible to tell the code to search for "monday or tuesday or wednsday, or thursday, or friday" and replace them with "_" ?
And, secondly, is it possible to tell the code to search for "January" and replaced it by "01", "February" by "02"...etc ? (in one line if it's possible) ?
Thx
EDIT
I'd like to do something as simple as that :
str.replace( "monday"||"tuesday"||"wednsday" , "" );
Or
var search:String ="tuesday","wednsday","thursday";
But it's not working..
What you want is a regular expression which is implemented in the RegExp class in AS3. The pattern passed into String.replace() can be a RegExp which can be used to do type of matching you want.
A simple regular expression to match English language work days could look like this:
(Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday)
which is Regular Expression for "match Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday". Note that this almost certainly isn't the best regex for this but it's simple and it works. There's a link where you can learn more about regexes at the bottom of this answer.
This regex can be put into a function that takes the string to search, the string to replace matches with and a string called flag. flag is a list of options that modify how the regex works. The docs for the RegExp construction provide complete details. This function might look like:
private function replaceDay(str:String, replace:String, flag:String = ''):String
{
var search:RegExp = new RegExp("(Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday)", flag);
return str.replace(search, replace);
}
You can then test it out (I've run it all in Flash Builder successfully):
// Replace a single, normally capitalized day name
var monday:String = "Monday the 1st";
trace(replaceDay(monday, "REDACTED")); // REDACTED the 1st
// Replace multiple normally capitalized day names
var mondayAndTuesday:String = "Either Monday or Tuesday works for me";
trace(replaceDay(mondayAndTuesday, "", "g")); // Either or works for me
// Replace a single day name regardless of capitalization
var lowerCaseWednesday:String = "wednesday";
trace(replaceDay(lowerCaseWednesday, "yadsendew", "i")); // yadsendew
var weirdCaseThursday:String = "tHurSdaY";
trace(replaceDay(weirdCaseThursday, "It's actually 'Thursday'.", "i")); // It's actually 'Thursday'.
// Replace multiple day names regardless of capitalization
var friday:String = "FriDAY FRIDAY friday";
trace(replaceDay(friday, "Something", "ig")); // Something Something Something
As for your question about replacing month names with numbers that is possible as well. The last example in the docs for String.replace() shows how to use a function as the replace value. Since StackOverflow prefers one post, one question you should remove it from this post and post another question.

Reading from a string using sscanf in Matlab
I'm trying to read a string in a specific format RealSociedad this is one example of string and what I want to extract is the name of the team. I've tried something like this, houseteam = sscanf(str, '%s'); but it does not work, why?
You can use regexprep like you did in your post above to do this for you. Even though your post says to use sscanf and from the comments in your post, you'd like to see this done using regexprep. You would have to do this using two nested regexprep calls, and you can retrieve the team name (i.e. RealSociedad) like so, given that str is in the format that you have provided: str = 'RealSociedad'; houseteam = regexprep(regexprep(str, '^<a(.*)">', ''), '</a>$', '') This looks very intimidating, but let's break this up. First, look at this statement: regexprep(str, '^<a(.*)">', '') How regexprep works is you specify the string you want to analyze, the pattern you are searching for, then what you want to replace this pattern with. The pattern we are looking for is: ^<a(.*)"> This says you are looking for patterns where the beginning of the string starts with a a<. After this, the (.*)"> is performing a greedy evaluation. This is saying that we want to find the longest sequence of characters until we reach the characters of ">. As such, what the regular expression will match is the following string: <ahref="/teams/spain/real-sociedad-de-futbol/2028/"> We then replace this with a blank string. As such, the output of the first regexprep call will be this: RealSociedad</a> We want to get rid of the </a> string, and so we would make another regexprep call where we look for the </a> at the end of the string, then replace this with the blank string yet again. The pattern you are looking for is thus: </a>$ The dollar sign ($) symbolizes that this pattern should appear at the end of the string. If we find such a pattern, we will replace it with the blank string. Therefore, what we get in the end is: RealSociedad
Found a solution. So, %s stops when it finds a space. str = regexprep(str, '<', ' <'); str = regexprep(str, '>', '> '); houseteam = sscanf(str, '%*s %s %*s'); This will create a space between my desired string.

You're searching from the first occurrence of "name:" until the "department:Directing" with everything in between. Instead, you need to restrict what can be between the two strings. Here for example I'm saying that the characters that make up the name can only be alphanumeric or a space: string.match(fixstrdirector,"name:([%w ]+),department:Directing") Alternatively, given that there's a comma separating the parameters, a better approach would be to search for "name:" followed by any characters other than a comma, followed by "department:Directing": string.match(fixstrdirector,"name:([^,]+),department:Directing") Of course that wouldn't work if the name had a comma it in!
Lua patterns provides - modifier for tasks as you have above. As stated on PiL - Section 20.2:
The + modifier matches one or more characters of the original class.
It will always get the longest sequence that matches the pattern.
Like *, the modifier - also matches zero or more occurrences of
characters of the original class. However, instead of matching the
longest sequence, it matches the shortest one.
Next, when you are using . to match, it'll find any and all characters satisfying the pattern. Therefore, you'll get the result from first occurence of name until the ,department:Directing is found. Since you know that it is a JSON data, you can try to match for [^,]; that is, non-comma characters.
So, for your case try:
local tAllNames = {}
for sName in fixstrdirector:gmatch( "name:([^,]-),department:Directing" ) do
tAllNames[ #tAllNames + 1 ] = sName
end
and all your required names will be stored in the table tAllNames. An example of the above can be seen at codepad.
