Twitter Typeahead square brackets - typeahead

I have a Twitter Typeahead enabled control. It uses bloodhound to preload some data, which consists of results like this:
[1996] Something
[1996] Something Else
[1996] Even more
[1996] Still more
[1996] Thats it
The control is set to display results after 3 characters.
If I type 199, the results return correctly, however, if I type [199 or even [1996, I get no results. The only time I get the results is if I close the bracket, and type [1996].
Has anyone else experienced this? Or knows the issue?

did you ever get this resolved? If not, try the following;
var normalize = function(str) {
$.each(charMap, function(chars, normalized) {
var regex = new RegExp('[' + chars + ']', 'gi');
str = str.replace(regex, normalized);
});
return str;
}

Parsing email with Google Apps Script, regex issue?

I used to be quite proficient in VBA with excel, but I'm currently trying to do something with Google Scripts and I am well and truly stuck.
Basically, I am trying like to extract data out of a standardised email from Gmail into a Google sheet. There are a couple of other threads on the subject which I have consulted so far, and I can get the body of the email into the sheet but cannot parse it.
I am new to regex, but it tests OK on regex101
I am also brand new to Google Script, and even the debugger seems to have stopped working now (it did before, so would be grateful if anyone can suggest why this is).
Here is my basic function:
function processInboxToSheet() {
var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName("NEWNOPS");
var threads = label.getThreads();
// Set destination sheet
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
// Get all emails labelled NEWNOPS
for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
var tmp,
message = threads[i].getMessages()[1], // second message in thread
content = message.getPlainBody(); // remove html markup
if (content) {
// search email for 'of:' and capure next line of text as address
// tests OK at regex101.com
property = content.match(/of:[\n]([^\r\n]*)[\r\n]/);
// if no match, display error
var property = (tmp && tmp[1]) ? tmp[1].trim() : 'No property';
sheet.appendRow([property]);
} // End if
// remove label to avoid duplication
threads[i].removeLabel(label)
} // End for loop
}
I can append 'content' to the sheet Ok, but cannot extract the address text required by the regex. Content displays as follows:
NOPS for the purchase of:
123 Any Street, Anytown, AN1 1AN
DATE: 05/05/2017
PRICE: £241,000
Seller’s Details
NAME: Mrs Seller
Thanks for reading :)
The return value of .match() is an array. The first captured group, containing the address, will be at index 1.
Based on the following line after your call to .match(), it looks like the tmp variable should have been assigned that array, not the property variable.
var property = (tmp && tmp[1]) ? tmp[1].trim() : 'No property';
That line says, if .match() returned something that isn't null and has a value at index 1, then trim that value and assign to property, otherwise assign it the string 'No property'.
So, try changing this line:
property = content.match(/of:[\n]([^\r\n]*)[\r\n]/);
To this:
tmp = content.match(/of:[\n]([^\r\n]*)[\r\n]/);
Thanks Kevin, I think I must have changed it while debugging.
The problem was with my regexp in the end. After a bit of trial and error the following worked:
tmp = content.match(/of:[\r\n]+([^\r\n]+)/);

Cracking open results returned by Ember peekAll

I'm playing around with peekAll(), trying to understand how it works for the ultimate purpose of iterating through the results.
In a route's model hook, I have:
var peekAllResults = this.store.peekAll('position');
console.log("peekAllResults = ", peekAllResults);
var peekAllResultsContent = peekAllResults.get('content');
console.log("peekAlLresultsContent = ", peekAllResultsContent);
This is returning data, as expected based on what I've got in my app.
In particular, here's what shows in the console:
So far so good. There are 8 records as expected based on what I've got going on.
But when when I add:
console.log("peekAllResultsContent.length=", peekAllResultsContent.length)
I get: peekAllResultsContent.length = 0
Same thing if I do peekAllResultsContent.get("length")
What is going on there?
I thought peekAll was a synchronous call that returned an array. Is there some trick to cracking it open and seeing what's actually in the array? I can't even get the length, so I figure I'm not on the right track.
Everything is wrapped into Ember.Model objects so you won't see clear results from console.log.
But there is no magic behind it. If the entities are already loaded into store you can get them via peekAll.
const positions = this.get('store').peekAll('position');
console.log('positions length', positions.get('length');
//we can iterate over them:
positions.forEach(position => {
console.log(position.get('name'));
};
//we can filter them:
const southOnlyPositions = positions.filter(position => position.get('direction') === 'south');
and so on...
Btw: even for promises you are not supposed to access content. You get the result like this:
const promises = this.get('store').findAll('position');
promises.then(positions => {
// positions here behave same as before
});

How to use a wildcard in isDefined() or structKeyExists() in a URL?

I am using ColdFusion 8.0.1.
I am writing a little code in the application file that will look at the URL. If any of a certain type of property is passed, I don't want to update a property in a SESSION structure.
Basically, if a visitor accesses any page that has to do with our registration process, we do not want to update the SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL variable. For every other page they access, we want to update the variable.
All pages that have to do with the registration process will have "myiq.reg" in the URL. If this were the case, I would use the code below.
// DETERMINE WHETHER TO UPDATE RETURNTOURL
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg")) {
URLString = "http://" & CGI.SERVER_NAME & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & CGI.QUERY_STRING;
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
But it's not that simple. My people want to be able to pass other properties that are similar, like this:
myiq.reg_confirm
myiq.reg_password
myiq.reg_save
I need to be able to soft code these to work with any registration page that they might create in the future. Basically, I need something like this :
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg*")) {
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
Notice the WILDCARD after "myiq.reg". I've tried this, but it doesn't work.
How do I code this so that any page that is access with a URL property that begins with "myiq.reg" is ignored?
You could get a structKeyList() of the URL scope, and just do a regex find in that. Something like:
reFindNoCase("(?:^|,)myiq\.reg", structKeyList(URL))
(only superficially tested)
You could improve the regex a bit if you wanted to more accurately match actual variable name patterns rather than just any occurrence of myiq.reg in the string.
Something like this perhaps...
res = '';
params = StructKeyList(url);
for(i=1; i lte ListLen(params); i++) {
param = listGetAt(params, i);
if (CompareNoCase(Left(param, 8), 'myiq.reg') eq 0) {
res = param;
break;
}
}

JS/Jquery/RegEx - Remove all tags except the ones with classname XYZ

this is driving me nuts ;-) I have a string whith various span tags... I want to remove all span tags except the ones with classname XYZ... The problem is that i havent found a solution to leave the closing tag...
My starting point is this regex:
text = text.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
But everything i tried to say "DONT DO IT IF MATCH classnameXYZ Failed till now...
Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
Ok, this works for my needs ;-)
$('#text > span').each(function(intIndex){
var word;
if ($(this).hasClass('checked')) {
word = "<span>"+$(this).html()+"</span>";
} else {
word = $(this).html();
word = word.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
}
console.log(word);
});
This can be done with out a regular expression, more over your answer need to cache the entire html, which would be slow, try the below code, It may help :)
$(function()
$('#text > span').each(function() {
if(!$(this).hasClass('XYZ')) {
$(this).remove();
}
});
});

How do I linkify text using ActionScript 3

I have a text that I want to linkify (identify URLs and convert them to HTML links). The text could be multi-line, and could contain multiple urls like the example below.
My current actionscript code looks like this
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
private function init():void {
var str:String = "#stack the website for google is http://www.google.com and gmail is http://gmail.com";
//Alert.show(linkify(str),"Error");
txtStatus.htmlText = linkify(str);
}
private function linkify(texty:String):String {
//return texty.replace("/[A-Za-z]+:\/\/[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z0-9-_:%&\?\/.=]+/g",function(m):String { return m.linkify(m);});
//return texty.replace(/[A-Za-z]+:\/\/[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z0-9-_:%&\?\/.=]+/g, function(m):String {return m.linkify(m);}).replace(/(^|[^\w])(#[\d\w\-]+)/g, function(m2):String{return '#' + m2.substr(1) + ''; });
var pattern:RegExp = /[A-Za-z]+:\/\/[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z0-9-_:%&\?\/.=]+/g;
var match:String = pattern.exec(texty);
return texty.replace(pattern,'<a href="' + match + '">' +
match + '</a>');
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
The problem with the above script is that it recognizes the first match and uses that across. Also how do i do it for #?
Any help is highly appreciated.
ooph ... why does everybody use regex these days, to accomplish super simple tasks? also, you forgot, that "+" is a valid character for URLs, as a replacement for space, and even an awful lot of other characters may be used, so your pattern would not even match accordingly ...
well, anyway, have a look at AS3 regex metacharacters ...
that'll GREATLY improve your expression's readability and is much more robust...
i'd go with something like this, really:
var r:RegExp = /(?:http|https):\/\/\S*/g;
trace(str.replace(r, function (s:String,...rest):String {
return '' + s + ''
} ));
but the actual point, was the global flag ...
good luck then ... :)
