I'm rendering texts in a prawn pdf report and would like to define the exact spacing after a paragraph.
I found :leading, which helps to define the line height, but nothing to define the spacing after a new paragraph (within the same cell or bounding box).
So far I have not found out how to define the spacing as such, but I still think I found the problem why the space was too large.
I add the statement
puts content.dump
to my class to print the content on the console.
In the cases where I had a paragraph in the content, the paragraph was replaced by \n\n.
Example:
<p>Text</p><p>Text</p>
is changed to
"Text\n\nText\n\n"
As I anyway use an html sanitizer method to remove undesired html tags, I could extend the method with the following:
res = content.gsub(/\n{2,2}/, "\n")
res = res.gsub(/\n{3,}/, "\n\n")
This solved the problem for me.

I'm attempting to build a PowerShell CmdLet that can parse and cleanly reformat a chunk of XAML or any other markup language.
So far, I've had to build an assortment of CmdLet's so that I can get the correct information to put into this thing (for indentation, counts, items, child items, etc, so forth...)
What I'm attempting to do is to collect ALL of the properties and values in a set of XAML/HTML, etc, and then once I have the lengths of all those variables, I can then start to chunk them out and properly format them so that they all output down a straight line. It may not make a super amount of sense as I describe it? So, here's an example.
<Window xmlns = 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'
xmlns:x = 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'
Title = 'Window Title'
Height = '600'
MinHeight = '600'
Width = '800'
MinWidth = '800'
BorderBrush = 'Black'
ResizeMode = 'CanResize'
HorizontalAlignment = 'Center'
WindowStartupLocation = 'CenterScreen'>
The reason I am attempting to build this, is so that I can programmatically save the instructions to a smaller footprint. So, instead of... having fluctuating numbers for each line and item and the end result looking like this...
<Window xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'
xmlns:x = 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' Title = 'Window Title' Height = '600'
MinHeight = '600' Width = '800' MinWidth = '800' BorderBrush = 'Black' ResizeMode = 'CanResize'
HorizontalAlignment = 'Center' WindowStartupLocation = 'CenterScreen'>
...I then have a set of instructions that can vectorize the content of the XAML, so that it has a pattern and less randomness. Sure, the line count might get expanded quite a bit, but there's no need to be concerned with that if all it is doing is expanding into RAM. Which is the point of it...
At any rate, the code that I am having trouble with is essentially a way to preserve the spacing between the quoted objects. I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall trying to get this to work correctly when I know it's a matter of Regex ...
I've posted the code I'm talking about via this link.
https://github.com/secure-digits-plus-llc/FightingEntropy/blob/master/Format-XAML.ps1
Lines 43-147
It is a script block, and testing with it requires a Xaml Here String.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not much of a Regex fan, I understand some basics to it but I'm not that great with it yet.

Found the answer I was looking for.
Not the most eloquent way to solve the issue I was having, but it works.
"(?<=\').+?(?=\')"
When the lines are split, and you want to preserve the spacing within the quotes, then you need something like this.
I was attempting to iterate through a do loop until the array/string contained (2) single quotes, but what was happening was... 'oh. I thought you wanted to match 'adbhjikvgrfe' with '21345rfs'.
No regex. Wasn't looking to match that. sigh.
Then it was taking the spacing out between the quotes.
sigh
I gotta say... anyone who truly writes good programming...? Well, I tip my hat off to you good sir/ma'am... because... it's a frustrating job. For certain.
Getting stuck on how to read and pretty up these values from a multiline cell via arrayformula.
Im using regex as preceding line can vary.
just formulas please, no custom code
The first column looks like a set of these:
```
[config]
name = the_name
texture = blah.dds
cost = 1000
[effect0]
value = 1000
type = ATTR_A
[effect1]
value = 8
type = ATTR_B
[feature0]
name = feature_blah
[components]
0 = comp_one,1
[resources]
res_one = 1
res_five = 1
res_four = 1
<br/>
Where to be useful elsewhere, at minimum it needs each [tag] set ([effect\d], [feature\d], ect) to be in one column each, for example the 'effects' column would look like:
ATTR_A:1000,ATTR_B:8
and so on.
Desired output can also be seen in the included spreadsheet
<br/>
<b>Here is the example spreadsheet:</b>
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1arMaaT56S_STTvRr2OxCINTyF-VvZ95Pm3mljju8Cxw/edit?usp=sharing
**Current REGEXREPLACE**
Kinda works, finds each 'type' and 'value' great, just cant figure out how to extract just that from the rest, tried capture (and non-capturing) groups before and after but didnt work
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE($A3:$A,"[\n.][effect\d][\n.](.)\n(.)","1:$1 2:$2"))
**Current SUBSTITUTE + REGEXEXTRACT + REGEXREPLACE**
A different approach entirely, also kinda works, longer form though and left with having to parse the values out of that string, where got stuck again. Idea was to use this to simplify, then regexreplace like above. Getting stuck removing content around the final matches though, and if can do that then above approach is fine too.
// First ran a substitute
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A3:$A,char(10),";"),";;",char(10)))
// Then variation of this (gave up on single line 'effect/d' so broke it up to try and get it working)
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A3:A<>"",IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A3:A,"(?m)^(?:[effect0]);(.)$")&";;")&""&IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A3:A,"(?m)^(?:[effect1]);(.)$")&";;")&""&IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A3:A,"(?m)^(?:[effect2]);(.)$")&";;"),""))
// Then use regexreplace like above
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE($B3:$B,"value = (.);type = (.);;","1:$1 2:$2"))
**--EDIT--**
Also, as my updated 'Desired Output' sheet shows (see timestamped comment below), bonus kudos if you can also extract just the values of matching 'type's to those extra columns (see spreadsheet).
All good if you cant though, just realized would need that too for lookups.
**--END OF EDIT--**

Ive tried dozens of things, discarding each in turn, had a quick look in version history to grab out two promising attempts and shared them in separate sheets.
One of these also used SUBSTITUTE to simplify input column, im happy for a solution using either RAW or the SUBSTITUTE results.
<br/>
**Potentially Useful links:**

<br/>
<b>Just some more words:</b>
I also have looked at dozens of stackoverflow and google support pages, so tried both REGEXEXTRACT and REGEXREPLACE, both promising but missing that final tweak. And i tried dozens of tweaks already on both.
Any help would be great, and hopefully help others in future since examples with spreadsheets are great since every new REGEX seems to be a new adventure ;)

P.S. if we can think of better title for OP, please say in comment or your answer :)

This was a fun exercise. :-)
Caveat first: I have added some "input data". Examples:
[feature1]
name = feature_active_spoiler2
[components]
0 = spoiler,1
1 = spoilerA, 2
So the output has "extra" output.
See the tab ADW's Solution.
I'm trying to parse a csv file. I got the following regular expression from google. It works pretty good except I have one issue and that it doesnt parse blank data.
let arrItem = row.match(/(".*?"|[^",]+)(?=\s*,|\s*$)/g);
arrItem = arrItem || [];
Example row data
9598,"HERE IS LOOKING AT YOU KID, LLC",85647 GOLDEN BLAH BLAH,,ASHBURN,VA,20147,USA,555-555-1511,45-1111111,SOME#GMAIL.COM,9598,,
Here is a screenshot of the arrItem:
I modified the data in the sample and covered it in the screenshot for privacy.
The problem is that in the array, the third item should be blank and then the 4th should be "Ashburn" and so forth. Any ideas on how to fix the expression?
I created the following sample
Thanks
I have used the below to extract a string from a paragraph.
data = '''actions/steps to (re-) produce the problem:
1) Media--> Music collectio--> on right side--> click on Add Favourite icon--> on clicking Add from Favourite icon--> (Delete from favourite ) will display--> again click on Delete the favourite
expected result/behaviour:
it should display the track as well
observed result/behavior:
1st track list will display then
2nd list of songs will display
3rd no records will display
this behaviour will appear again and again
possible impact:
this can be an issue while driving
actions/steps to recover from error:
software version tested (including supplied software or CAF version if relevant):
MGU :- 17w.25.4-2'''
observed=[]
for i in data["Error Description"]:
if len(re.findall(r'(Observed result\/behavior:|observed result\/behavior:)([^(]*)Possible impact:', i))==1:
observed.append((re.findall(r'(Observed result\/behavior:|observed result\/behavior:)([^(]*)Possible impact:', i))[0][1])
else:
observed.append(" ".join((re.findall(r'(Observed result\/behavior:|observed result\/behavior:)([^(]*)Possible impact:', i))))
OUTPUT :
It shows nothing as the "observed:" has 4 lines. If it generally has one line and the immediate preceding is "possible impact:" then it displays the output.
I need my output though if the observed has n no of lines
Please help.
This should work on the assumption that observed result/behavior: will have one blank line before the next paragraph:
begin = data.index('observed result/behavior:')
end = data[begin:].index('\n\n')
output = data[begin:(begin+end)]
print(output)
observed result/behavior:
1st track list will display then
2nd list of songs will display
3rd no records will display
this behaviour will appear again and again
Is there a way for Text based redaction in ColdFusion? I can see the documentation for coordinates based alone. Code used for coordinates based redaction is:
<cfpdf action="redact" source="#sourcefile#" destination="#destinationfile#" overwrite="true">
<cfpdfparam pages="1-2" coordinates="0,0,0,0">
</cfpdf>
Is there a similar way for text based redaction too?
There is in fact now the option to redact text in ColdFusion. It's not documented as the feature is still work in progress, but it does work for most of the cases.
A few new attributes have been added for this support.
The words you want to redact must be given as an array with the attribute name as 'wordstoredact'
There is a new attribute in cfpdfparam namely wordmatchingcriteria with values as:
MATCHPARTIALWORD_MARKPARTIALWORD (matches partial words, and also redacts them)
MATCHPARTIALWORD_MARKWHOLEWORD (matches partial words, but redacts the whole word)
MARKWHOLEWORD (matches and redacts only whole words).
An example of how to do it is as shown below:
cfpdf(action="redact", source="#sourcefile#", destination="#destinationfile#", overwrite=true){
cfpdfparam(wordstoredact=["Windo", "disclaim"], ignorecase=true, pages="1", wordmatchingcriteria="MATCHPARTIALWORD_MARKPARTIALWORD" );
cfpdfparam(wordstoredact=["http://", "2010"], ignorecase=true, pages="1", wordmatchingcriteria="MATCHPARTIALWORD_MARKWHOLEWORD" );
cfpdfparam(wordstoredact=["December", "Resources"], ignorecase=true, pages="2", wordmatchingcriteria="MARKWHOLEWORD" );
cfpdfparam(wordstoredact=["Tutorial", "definitions"], ignorecase=false, pages="3", wordmatchingcriteria="MATCHPARTIALWORD_MARKWHOLEWORD" );
};
Please reply if you have any confusion or any more queries regarding text based redaction in ColdFusion
