When you have a string in Rascal like this:
"\n\tThis is a specification of a toy Transaction.\n\tVia a transaction money
can be transfered between two accounts\n"
Or
This is a specification of a toy Transaction.
Via a transaction money can be transfered between two accounts
How can I remove the whitespace in the middle of the string?
My solution now is to call a function that replaces '\n', '\t', and '\r' but this doesn't seem like a sustainable solution. Also, the function trim only remove whitespace at the beginning and end.
visit (x) {
case /[\t\n]/ => ""
}

simple question that I hope has a simple answer
I want to store a formatted string to pass later to function call. I would like to have line breaks baked into one long string rather than send a string for each line. So for example
b = f'hello \n world'
b
this gives me 'hello \n world' which is not what I want.
How can I do this in a compact manner. I would prefer to avoid joins or something like that with a newline separator.
Thanks in advance.
I had to split string data based on Comma.
This is the excel data:-
Please find the excel data
string strCurrentLine="\"Himalayan Salt Body Scrub with Lychee Essential Oil from Majestic Pure, All Natural Scrub to Exfoliate & Moisturize Skin, 12 oz\",SKU_27,\"Tombow Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, Portrait, 6-Pack\",SKU_27,My Shopify Store 1,Valid,NonInventory".
Regex CSVParser = new Regex(",(?=(?:[^\"]\"[^\"]\")(?![^\"]\"))");
string[] lstColumnValues = CSVParser.Split(strCurrentLine);
I have attached the image.The problem is I used the Regex to split the string with comma but i need the ouptut just like SKU_27 because string[0] and string2 contains the forward and backward slash.I need the output string1 and remove the forward and backward slash.
The file seems to be a CVA file. For CVA to be properly formatted, it will use quotes "" to wrap strings that contains comma, such as
id, name, date
1,"Some text, that includes comma", 2020/01/01
Simply split the string by comma, you will get the 2nd column with double quote.
I'm not sure whether you are asking how to remove the double-quotes from lstColumnValues[0] and lstColumnValues[2], or add them to lstColumnValues[1].
To remove the double-quotes, just use Replace:
string myString = lstColumnValues[0].Replace("\"", "");
If you need to add them:
string myString = $"\"{lstColumnValues[1]}\"";
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"
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.
I currently have an assignemnt where i have to handle data from a lot of countries. My customer have given me a list of acceptable characters, lets call it:
'aber =*'
All other characters should just be changed to '_'.
I know the conversion for my country's specific chars (æøå), easily done with something like
select replace ('Ål', 'Å', 'AA') from dual;
But how would i go about removing all unwanted "noise" without splitting it up in char-by-char comparison?
For example "bear*2 = fear" should become "bear*_ = _ear" as 2 and f are not in the accepted list.
Oracle 10g and up. As one of the approaches, you can use regular expression function regexp_replace():
select regexp_replace('bear*2 = fear', '[^aber =*]', '_') as res
from dual
res
------------------------------
bear*_ = _ear
