I enter:
=IF(D4=”4x4”, _4x4PT*e4, IF(D4=”4x6”,_4x6PT*e4, 0))
when I press I get:
Err:501
When I click on the cell I see:
=IF(D4=”4x4”, _4x4PT*e4, IF(D4=”4x6”,_4x6PT*e4, 0)))
Libreoffice has added an extra paren(s) at the end?
(_4X4PT and _4x6PT are cell names)
Substituting 7 and 11 for the two cell names makes no difference
How do I fix this?
Don't use smart quotes ”. Calc expects normal quotes " instead. Now Calc will no longer add an extra parenthesis.
Depending on regional settings, you may now get Err:508 and need to change the commas , to semicolons ; instead. Semicolons are universally accepted by Calc as a delimiter.
Entering the following expression does not produce an error:
=IF(D4="4x4"; _4x4PT*e4; IF(D4="4x6";_4x6PT*e4; 0))

I have a bash script that outputs two CSV columns. I need to prepend the three-digit number of those rows of the second column that contain them with "f. " and keep the rest of the rows intact. I have tried different ways so far but each has failed in one way or another.
What I've tried mainly has been to use regular expressions with either the first or second column to separate the desired rows from the rest, but I can't separate and prepend at the same time without cancelling out or messing up the process somehow. Some of the commands I've used so far have been: $ sed $ cut as well as (nested) for loops, read-while loops, if/else and if/else/elif statements, etc. What follows is one such (failed) solution:
for var1 in "^.*_[^f]_.*"
do
sed -i "" "s:$MSname::" $pathToCSV"_final.csv"
for var2 in "^.*_f_.*"
do
sed -i "" "s:$MSname:f.:" $pathToCSV"_final.csv"
done
done
And these are some sample rows:
abc_deg0014_0001_a_1.tif,British Library 1 Front Board Outside
abc_deg0014_0002_b_000.tif,British Library 1 Front Board Inside
abc_deg0014_0003_f_001r.tif,British Library 1 001r
abc_deg0014_0004_f_001v.tif,British Library 1 001v
…
abc_deg0014_0267_f_132r.tif,British Library 1 132r
abc_deg0014_0268_f_132v.tif,British Library 1 132v
abc_deg0014_0269_y_999.tif,British Library 1 Back Board Inside
abc_deg0014_0270_z_1.tif,British Library 1 Back Board Outside
Here $MSname = British Library 1 (since with different CSVs the "British Library 1" part can change to other words that I need to remove/replace and that's why I use parameter expansion).
The desired result:
abc_deg0014_0002_b_000.tif,Front Board Inside
abc_deg0014_0003_f_001r.tif,f. 001r
…
abc_deg0014_0268_f_132v.tif,f. 132v
abc_deg0014_0269_y_999.tif,Back Board Inside
If you look closely, you'll notice these rows are also differentiated from the rest by "f" in their first column (the rows that shouldn't get the "f. " in front of their second column are differentiated by "a", "b", "y", and "z", respectively, in the first column).
You are not using var1 or var2 for anything, and even if you did, looping over variables and repeatedly running sed -i on the same output file is extremely wasteful. Ideally, you would like to write all the modifications into a single sed script, and process the file only once.
Without being able to guess what other strings than "British Library 1" you have and whether those require different kinds of actions, I would suggest something along the lines of
sed -i '/^[^,]*_f_[^,_]*,/s/,British Library 1 /,f. /
s/,British Library 1 /,/' "${pathToCSV}_final.csv"
Notice how the sed script in single quotes can be wrapped over multiple physical lines. The first line finds any lines where the last characters between underscores in the first comma-separated column is f, and replaces ",British Library 1 " with ",f. ". (I made some adjustments to the spacing here -- I hope they make sense for you.) On the following line, we simply replace any (remaining) occurrences of ",British Library 1 " with just a comma; the idea is that only the lines which didn't match the regex on the previous line will still contain this string, and so we don't have to do another regex match.
This can easily be extended to cover more patterns in the same sed script, rather than repeatedly looping over the file and rewriting one pattern at a time. For example, if your next task is to replace Windsor Palace A with either a. or nothing depending on whether the penultimate underscore-separated subfield in the first field contains a, that should be obvious enough:
sed -i '/^[^,]*_f_[^,_]*,/s/,British Library 1 /,f. /
s/,British Library 1 /,/
/^[^,]*_a_[^,_]*,/s/,Windsor Palace A /,a. /
s/,Windsor Palace A /,/' "${pathToCSV}_final.csv"
In some more detail, the regex says
^ beginning of line
[^,]* any sequence of characters which are not a comma
_f_ literal characters underscore, f, underscore
[^,_]* any sequence of characters which are not a comma or an underscore
, literal comma
You should be able to see that this will target the last pair of underscores in the first column. It's important to never skip across the first comma, and near the end, not allow any underscores after the ones we specifically target before we finally allow the comma column delimiter.
Finally, also notice how we always use double quotes around variables which contain file names. There are scenarios where you can avoid this but you have to know what you are doing; the easy and straightforward rule of thumb is to always put double quotes around variables. For the full scoop, see When to wrap quotes around a shell variable?
With awk, you can look at the firth field to see whether it matches "3digits + 1 letter" then print with f. in this case and just remove fields 2,3 and 4 in the other case. For example:
awk -F'[, ]' '{
if($5 ~ /.?[[:digit:]]{3}[a-z]$/) {
printf("%s,f. %s\n",$1,$5)}
else {
printf("%s,%s %s %s\n",$1,$5,$6,$7)
}
}' test.txt
On the example you provide, it gives:
abc_deg0014_0001_a_1.tif,Front Board Outside
abc_deg0014_0002_b_000.tif,Front Board Inside
abc_deg0014_0003_f_001r.tif,f. 001r
abc_deg0014_0004_f_001v.tif,f. 001v
abc_deg0014_0267_f_132r.tif,f. 132r
abc_deg0014_0268_f_132v.tif,f. 132v
abc_deg0014_0269_y_999.tif,Back Board Inside
abc_deg0014_0270_z_1.tif,Back Board Outside
I'm trying to display text which may at times contain a math expression so I am using MTMathUILabel from iosMath. I generate the labels dynamically and add them to a stack as I pull the strings from the db. The problem is that all text which is not math appears with no spaces. i.e:
In db: Solve the following equation: (math here)
In label: Solvethefollowingequation: (math here)
Here is what I have tried so far:
for question in all_questions {
let finalString = question.question?.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "\\space", options: .literal, range: nil)
let label = MTMathUILabel()
label.textColor = UIColor.black
label.latex = finalString
stack.addArrangedSubview(label)
}
But the problem is that it literally places two . And xcode doesn't let me write just one \ because it is not escaped. However if I just write
print("\\space")
Then it will print just one.
How can I fix this so I add only one \? If this cannot be done, how can I achieve what I want? Is there a better library out there?
After giving a quick look at MTMathUILabel's doc and LaTeX conventions, I believe you should replace your spaces with a tilde character "~". This will make them non-breaking spaces and avoid the backslash issue (which is probably due to \space not being understood by MTMathUILabel).
Systematic replacement of all spaces may yield undesirable result if the formula itself has legitimate spaces in it.
For example, a quadratic equation would be expressed as:
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
You will end up replacing spaces inside curly braces, and that may or may not be what you want:
x~=~\frac{-b~\pm~\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
i have a issue where the there is a amount field which has data like
(- 98765.00),minus{spaces]{numbers} ?, i need to remove the space between the minus and the number and get is as (-98765.00), how do i do it in expression transformation.
field datatype is decimal (8,2).
Thanks,
Kiran
output_port: TO_DECIMAL(REPLACECHR(FALSE,input_port,' ',''))
REPLACECHR replaces the blanks with empty character, essentially removing them. The first argument can be TRUE/FALSE to specify case sensitive or not, but it is not important in this case.
You can use REG_REPLACE function to replace space
To achieve this you need to follow below steps,
* Create two variable ports
* REG_REPLACE - function requires string column, so you need to convert the decimal column to string column using TO_CHAR function
First variable port(string) - TO_CHAR(column_name)
* In previous port data is converted to string, now convert it again to decimal and apply REG_REPLACE function
Second variable port(decimal) - to_decimal(reg_replace(first_variable_port,'s+',''))
s - determines the white spaces in informatica regular expression
See the below image,
same number which you provided is used. Use the same data type and function
Debugger gives the exact result by removing white space in the below image,
May be you have the issue with other transformations which you are passing through. Debug and verify the data once.
Hope you got it, any issues feel free to ask
To have enjoy informatica, have a fun on https://etlinfromatica.wordpress.com/
If my understanding is correct, you need to replace both the spaces and the brackets. Here's the expression:
TO_DECIMAL(
REPLACECHR(0,
REPLACECHR(0, '(- 98765.00)', ' ', '') -- this part does the space replacement
, '()', '') -- this part replaces the brackets
)
I use the following regex in SSRS to test for a particular column name in a parameter:
=IIf(InStr(Join(Parameters!ColumnNames.Value, ","), "x"), False, True)
This will hide a column on a report if it is not one of the chosen columns. This works just fine if there is not another column called "xy". The string being tested may be "z,x,w", in which case the test works fine; but it may also be "z,xy,w", in which case it will find "x" and display both "x" and "xy".
I tried checking for "x," which only works if "x" is not the last character of the string. I need to know the syntax to check for both "x," OR "x as the last piece of the string". Unfortunately "x" can have any length. The basic problem is I do not know how to use an OR in the IIF statement.
I tried the most obvious ways and kept getting errors. Using "\b" also does not work because there are no spaces in the string (so word boundaries are not applicable).
What you can do is add the delimiter to your check, so that way you're checking the exact string only and not any that just include it:
=IIf
(InStr("," & Join(Parameters!ColumnNames.Value, ",") & ",", ",x,") > 0
, False
, True)
So this will catch x but not xy.
One thing to note:
I have added a check to see of InStr > 0, as this returns an integer and not a boolean.
You want to match a specific column name in an array of column names but do this on a single line to include in the IIF statement.
Based on the last technique suggested in How can I quickly determine if a string exists within an array? your code would need to be.
=IIf((UBound(Filter(Parameters!ColumnNames.Value, "x", True, compare)) > -1), False, True)
It doesn't look like there is an actual Regex anywhere?
In a .csv file I have lines like the following :
10,"nikhil,khandare","sachin","rahul",viru
I want to split line using comma (,). However I don't want to split words between double quotes (" "). If I split using comma I will get array with the following items:
10
nikhil
khandare
sachin
rahul
viru
But I don't want the items between double-quotes to be split by comma. My desired result is:
10
nikhil,khandare
sachin
rahul
viru
Please help me to sort this out.
The character used for separating fields should not be present in the fields themselves. If possible, replace , with ; for separating fields in the csv file, it'll make your life easier. But if you're stuck with using , as separator, you can split each line using this regular expression:
/((?:[^,"]|"[^"]*")+)/
For example, in Python:
import re
s = '10,"nikhil,khandare","sachin","rahul",viru'
re.split(r'((?:[^,"]|"[^"]*")+)', s)[1::2]
=> ['10', '"nikhil,khandare"', '"sachin"', '"rahul"', 'viru']
Now to get the exact result shown in the question, we only need to remove those extra " characters:
[e.strip('" ') for e in re.split(r'((?:[^,"]|"[^"]*")+)', s)[1::2]]
=> ['10', 'nikhil,khandare', 'sachin', 'rahul', 'viru']
If you really have such a simple structure always, you can use splitting with "," (yes, with quotes) after discarding first number and comma
If no, you can use a very simple form of state machine parsing your input from left to right. You will have two states: insides quotes and outside. Regular expressions is a also a good (and simpler) way if you already know them (as they are basically an equivalent of state machine, just in another form)
